I just flashed CM7DX2 and while everything else works fantastically, I can't seem to be able to access Market-downloaded widgets. Stock widgets or Go Launcher's widgets load well, but none of the other widgets I downloaded show up in the launcher's Widgets screen. Help?
I haven't had that issue at all. Sorry. Maybe you should wipe and flash the rom again?
I fixed it. Apparently CM7 doesn't recognize widgets on apps saved to the SD card.

When ever I reboot my phone, the Switch Pro widget says "Problem loading widget" and when I try to put that widget back, I cannot find the widget. It is still in my app drawer, but not visible in the list of widgets.
The only way to get this back is to uninstall and reinstall the app. Any suggestions?
Never happens to me. Try reinstalling and rebooting.

You're running FROYO? Try installing Widgets on internal memory.

I ask because I have an almost entirely custom set of pages with unique icons, special containers, etc.
I thought I had everything backed up correctly, but, after flashing a new rom the only items to not fully return were the actual widgets themselves.
Now this may just be an issue with widgets in general as the only ones to correctly return were those from LauncherPro Plus.
My smooth calendar, digiclock, and all of the Desktop VisualizeR ones did not. They say "Problem loading widget".
Is there something I'm missing in Titanium Backup that would correctly back these up?
Thanks!
Widgets don't backup correctly and therefore will never restore correctly, it's just a limitation of the system.

Are you changing between different ROMs? 'Cause I just leave everything (outside of doing a dalvik and cache wipe) when going between versions of adryn's SC and my widgets load up just fine.
I know in LP it states that it cannot reload widgets, that you have to do it manually.
everything shortcuts, programs games on my home screens always load back up.. but never once has a widget loaded back up
I downloaded a launcher from an APK and my atrix's original launcher dissapeared.
what can i do.
thanks!
go to the market and grab a home launcher switcher like "home switcher for froyo", etc..
use that to switch between original launcher (motoblur) and your new one. You can also make one of them your default.
No like it literally isnt in my phone.. if i dont have a downloaded launcher its just a black screen and i cant access anything haha
is the only option a hard reset?
You might be able to get it back by flashing the service SBF of 1.83... it doesn't wipe the user data.

This happened to me when I first got my atrix and installed launcher pro. Not sure how to fix it as I rooted and installed gingerblur anyway which removes the default blur launcher and uses the default gingerbread style launcher
I am using ADW Launcher and the GMail widget causes the the homescreens to always switch to the one where the widget is when the tablet is rotated. Anyone else noticed this?
This also happened to me after i added the Email widget! Even worse, LaunherPro FC's and I'll have to repick my default launcher (wich is LP) every time i reboot and the launcher is loaded.
I've done nothing else but rooted my tab.

I had the same problem. It annoyed me so much that I went back to stock launcher.

I only had these problems straight after doing the gmail widget fix since i lost gmail widget after rooting so i tried this;
Solution: uninstall both your launcher switcher and launcher, then install latest home switcher (the gingerbread ready), and reinstall launcher.
Now, change transition effect, if you have that option, to 'none' and turn off high quality scrolling etc...
I'm now running a pretty heavy homescreen including gmail widget, emailwidget, several widgetsoids, twitter widget, facebookwidget, g+ widget and some other stuff on latest bonsaiROM, and everything runs smooth. Note: I was already on latest bonsaiROM when the problems occured

Here is another launcher for ICS. It is like stock launcher but have options like adw and launcher pro ie transparent app drawer, gestures, lock desktop etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452663
I'm definitely gonna try this out. Not sure how much experience yyouve had with this but installing as system app shouldnt remove the default launcher your rom comes with? ie most ICS roms come with trebuchet launcher?
No, it installs as normal app and you don't need to move it to /system folder for widgets to show up in app drawer.
good find on this launcher, it feels alot like launcher pro but totally revamped for ics
just needs resizable widgets

I cant believe i missed that, thanks for the heads up, this is quite an awesome launcher i dont think i can go back to anything that doesnt use ics as a base any more
what do you prefer,this or NOVA?
personally on my galaxy nexus i prefer nova..but only because it's more mature.apex is a month newer,but with already a lot of features..nova,at this time,have more features,but i find apex more speedy and i hadn't got any issues or unstability also on gpu-renderized
works great in ICS passion v 12
Guys and girls, just a heads up - updating Apex Launcher is apparently resulting in Force Close dialog ad nauseam - DO NOT update Apex for now or else you'll be stuck. Thankfully I had Avast installed and using the Avast Application Manager I managed to access Apex's App Info page and uninstalled updates, now back to normal but won't update it for now. Recent Apex reviews on Play Store show that this is not ROM-related or an isolated event. You've been warned. (If you read this that is)...

Last night my phone auto updated the apex launcher and exactly what you said happened. I went into clockwork recovery and tried to restore and it gave an error and now the phone seems bricked. It won't boot up beyond the vibrant screen, and it won't let me get into recovery. What should I do?
