Ok, I am not sure this is the best place, but it is from Vael Pak's rom on my old 4g that I learned about this launcher. I had it on my 3d and loved it, but yesterday, it stopped working. It is instaled but I have the sense dekstop/launcher. I have un-installed, and re-installed, I have cleared all the data and reset it, but it won't show. Any ideas?

Okay this worked the last time I lost it, but now I cannot find the Sense Launcher in my manage apps. Now what? Do I have to uninstall and reinstall awd?

My homescreen isn't as smooth as the video reviews ive seen and was just curious if its because I didn't do the ota update or if my unit is defective? Just getting some pointers. I tried deleting sine Widgets. Launcher pro is sluggish as well. I'm trying to see if maybe an app I installed could be the cause
I notice when I run a live wall paper its pretty bad as well. I used a program to backup my apps off my old EVO and restored just the apps on my 3d....I'm starting to wonder if that may be the cause??

Sinse I updated my E3D, the homescreen hasn't been smooth either. Maybe its a bug.
Haven't updated yet but it runs like a beauty right now. Can't complain!
No update so no lag... WINNING
E3D
No update and my **** is smoother than Billy D Williams.
No update, the Green Friggin Hornut can wait. Smooth as butter with live wallpaper and ADW Launcher EX and several widgets.
My OG EVO would stutter with the live wallpaper.
I did all the updates and mine runs GREAT!! NO lag whatsoever

I did the updates, and then hard reset.
Its not super laggy, but its not 100% smooth.
Hope they fix this in an update sometime soon
Well ima do a hard reset and not restore all my apps with that program. Then see I'd the lag goes away

What did you use to restore your apps? I would suggest trying a factory reset, then install your apps back one at a time. You can use an app called 'app list backup' to save just a list of the apps you use. Then when you restore, it takes you right to the market to download the apps you need, one at a time. If you still have lag after the factory reset, then I'd be a bit concerned (my phone has 0 lag at all). What type of lag are you talking about? Scrolling homescreens? Opening apps? Scrolling your contacts? All of the above?
I'm pretty smooth..and as the day goes by I am more satisfied with the phone..this may be s stupid question ..but what is a hard reset ? A battery pull

A hard reset basically brings the phone back to the state in which HTC sent the phone to sprint. Deletes everything accept for the operating system.

Ima try that and see if it works. Ima do a factory reset and restore my apps one by one. Because none of my apps show up in in the market when I go to "my apps" menu.....just shows my purchased apps so I can't update them at all.
The lag is mainly rough scrolling through home screens and small delay when opening messaging app like 2 seconds....
I think the phone was smooth when I got.it but I can't remember. If it still rough after this ima take it back tomorrow and exchange it

I've had wave launcher on my phone since gingerbread, now I'm on I'VE and everytime I try to open the app itself to change some settings, it keeps giving me the message that it stopped working. Although it works when restoring my backup from titanium after restarting. I have no idea why I'm not being able to launch it through app drawer.
Anyone else having this problem?

I have the same problem in my Galaxy SII with official ICS 4.0.3, the first times the app is active and I could go to the settings from the notification shortcut but when the app closed i couldn't opened anymore because when I try to open from the app drawer (that is the only way to active because the shortcut in the notification isn't there) it's always giving me force close.
The first times the wave is active when i restarted the phone because it was configured to open in startup but after two or three restarts it didn't activated anymore.
I tried everything I have installed all previous versions of wave launcher and the only that didn't give this problem is the 1.5 version but this version doesn't support widgets.
I don't understand why such a great application didn't receibed an update in 9 month, I hope the developer isn't dead
Sorry for my english.
I'm from Uruguay.
The only problem i had was the app would force close when launching from the drawer. So what i did was, i cleared the data, restarted and started from scratch again. of course the app still force closes when launching from the drawer and before, i hid the notification icon so there was no way to get to settings. Now its back and everything is working exept the only problem o had before, i have changed the settings and the apps i wanted to put are there. I can access it from the notication easily.

Have you tried Swipepad? I remember it being similar with Wave Launcher.... It even has more shortcut available (up to 12 I think)
I haven't used it for a couple months after resetting my phone though. So, I don't know if it works with ICS
waved launcher force close on ics
Me too.. ref: v1.8.1
Same force close problems.. Once I managed to get it up & running (that was the first & last).
Now I can't even get it to install, "unfortunately wave launcher has stopped"..
YES DELICATELY NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ICS (like most fancy launchers like ultimate faves pro
I've had the LTEvo pretty much since it became available, and one of the first things I did was switch from Sense to another Launcher. I eventually settled on Apex, and it's been running like a top since then.
Since last night, however, any time I hit the home button, exit an app, open my phone, etc., it defaults to Sense. Apex still shows itself to be the default launcher, both in the system settings and in Home Switcher, and I can manually switch to it, but that's obviously not an ideal solution. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling Apex, and that didn't work. Anyone have any wisdom here?
TIA

Try going into apps and clearing defaults for the sense launcher.
It has a home screen icon for it. Might work.

+1 for this solution. Root and then install Titanium Backup, then freeze sense. You should be good to go at that point.

I didnt realize that the app had updated and unistalled it (as I have a backup of my apex settings and desktop). Reinstalling it gave me the same broken updated version without the ability to remove the update, so I used titanium backup pro to restore the app and data from 4 days ago and it worked perfectly. The only thing I had to do was re-add my clock widget and google music widget.
wow! wish I would have seen this earlier. Just wiped the system.

I can still use the default launcher on my tablet. If it's not going to take too long for them to fix it I might just struggle on with that. Otherwise I'll wipe and restart with the old version.
edit: sorry, just realised this thread is in a specific Motorola forum; I reached it through site search
Yeah. Mine FCs all the time, as well.
Damn it. I should have checked here first. Now I cleared the cache, then all data in the app, and finally uninstalled to reinstall. Still always crashes.
And now I lost my precious set up
I'm just going to stick to using TW and not uninstall the update or clear my settings until they fix it. I'd hate to have to re-do everything :/
I installed the latest Nova Launcher until Apex fixes their update.

had to wipe and reload from backup and quickly jump to play store and turn off download for APEX until they fix it :/
I just downloaded the update. Seems to be fixed now
edit: like someone else in the market mentioned, the app appears to be a little slow. Choppy transitions, etc. Tried a reboot and nothing. Clearing my defaults seems to have fixed the issue, but restoring my settings makes it slow again. Gonna re-do all my settings and hope the choppiness goes away.

It is slow.because of the standard wallpaper scrolling. I turned off wallpaper scrolling and the.performance seems better. But I,usually use stock for the weather widget.

Ok so my phones been bugging me about the 1.3.1 update and I tried to install it. It was failing because it said the same app with a different signature was already installed. So I went to uninstall the previous version if Apex and I did, thinking it was just the update....well it seems like it uninstalled the whole app because I have no homescreen now and no way to get to my files to install 1.3.1.
Any ideas on how to fix it? Hopefully I dont need to wipe and reflash....

If you have access to a PC and WiFi you can try to push the new file through Chrome to phone. Worked for me to get Nova installed when Apex crashed. Install the Chrome to phone add on, go to the Play store from your PC, download the new Apex launcher and select the Chrome to phone icon. It should load on your phone fairly quickly. If that doesnt work push Nova the same way to get your phone stable then reinstall Apex.

Awesome that worked thanks. There had to have been something wrong with the old one anyway because when I would try to go to the play store on the phone to update the old one it would say it was up to date even though Apex was telling me to update and the phone claimed to have 1.2.5

Hi mates!
I'm looking for some help, I've an Evo 3d and I had been in 2.3.4 official rom and yesterday I decided to upgrade to 4.0.3 Official rom so I did it, the process was done successfuly... but now I've a trouble with Sense Launcher when I use an app (whatever app) and then I come back to my desk my Sense shows "loading", the screen freeze until 5.6 second after, It's painful!! .
I upgraded my device via Official OTA from 2.3.4 to 4.0.3, could you help me or advice me what should I do in order to fix this trouble? What's wrong? My device isn't rooted and it has always worked fine!
Thank you mates for your help!

I believe the OTA changed the OOM settings, and thus Sense is getting killed while you are running other apps. When you return home, Sense has to reload itself. If you are rooted, you can change the OOM settings. Without root, the only thing I can think of is to install a 3rd party launcher such as Nova and check the option in settings to always keep the launcher in memory.

umm If I'll install a 3er party app I'd be able keep sense animations, widgets and other stuff from sense UI?
...what about doing a hardreset/factory reset?
Could anyone give me a hand?
If you are not rooted I would think your options are limited
Do the obvious and clean up unused and performance hungry apps
As a last resort, factory reset may be your only option...
If your rooted I would try wiping dalvik and cache...

Using a 3rd party laucher wont keep the Sense "stuff". You can try them from the playstore and uninstall if you dont like the look, with no issues or system changes to your phone. Try Nova and/or ADW Launcher.
