I installed pure grid calender and had it all set up with appointments for weeks and weeks and now its gone. Its seems that my launcher is also different. I have no clue what happened. Now when I click the N twice it doesn't pop up with home catcher any more. I figured that some way some how it switched to a different launcher that doesn't have my calender on it.
How do switch my launcher if home catcher is not working?
How do I find my calender with all my dates on it?
Any help would be great as I am completely f'ed with out that calender.
Thanks
Using hidden settings app go to application settings > manage applications > all , then find the launcher it has set by default select it then press clear defaults button, if you dont know which launcher is ( you should know what you have installed) then just scroll down the list and look for the apps that have the word launcher in it.

I only have one launcher installed... None the less I was able to fix my issue. My calender widget had gotten removed. Thankfully all my dates were saved in the "calender" and when I put pure grid widget back and loaded the default calender my dates re appeared and I just had to go back through the settings.
It seems there is a new issues every other day with this NT.

GO Launcher EX is the extra version of GO Launcher, one of the most popular stock home replacement app in android market, provides beautiful themes, fast flip speed and tons of useful functions. Don't know how many of you use it. Its very fast has an inbuilt task killer also!!
Check out the website!!

I've been using GO Launcher for a while now, it's by far the best out there. Only strange thing i noticed is that with GO Launcher EX you need to install a separate module in order to have missed call and message notifications down in the dock.
Can you organize apps into different categories?

No but u can put them into folders.
Awsme launcher thanx
I've tried other launchers and this is the only one moving smoothly on my Optimus. In addition to that it has icon personalization and you can make those annoying never-used apps disappear in your app menu.
it has enough customization options and the battery use is quite low. A must-have!
very good ...... n.n
Go Launcher EX in my opinion has to be the best one out there.
I am one of the people who actually enjoyed Touchwiz at first....well, until my app drawer reached over 10 pages (That's 160 apps and I even had the bloatware hidden with TiBackup)
Anyways. I have just this completely crazy and awesome thing going with Go Launcher on my phone. The best thing is, I've gone from 10 pages all the way down to 4. This launcher has so much customization and features, and on top of it all, it runs extremely fast.
I have posted several screens of what I have done on my phone using Go Launcher as well as just some screens so people can see it and understand it more.
The 1st is a preview of the ui swiping side to side, the 2nd is all my home screens, the 3rd is what the new app drawer looks like (notice the folders INSIDE the app drawer), the 4th is just all the options I have on my main home screen. The 5th and 6th Images are showing how you can switch the dock back and forth. The 7th is showing the modded facebook app available here on the XDA and my personal mod of the Picture Dial widget. And the last is the Screen Shortcut Screen (when you pinch the screen at home).
I hope you all enjoy.
NOTE: The "theme" I have is purely from the customization features I had available. I did not mod it at all (with the exception of one widget) nor did I actually create a theme for the Launcher like those which are available for ADW.
You can find almost all of what you see via internet. I had to photoshop a few icons (you'll notice them on the screen shots showing my different dockbars as those images are more recent).
gunna have to give this one a try adw launcher just isnt cuttin it for me any more
Using 2.3.2 Mur4ik ROM what I find is that Home Manager shows both Go Launcher EX and stock launcher are running at the same time, stock can take up to 40mb RAM, and second that for Go Launcher EX, so I've changed to stock because I want more mem and when I AutoKill stock then Go launcher Running tab says there's more ram.
How can I customize stock 2.3 launcher?
I need to change number of screens to 3 from 5, I don't need more.
Is there any way to create folders in menu instead in "desktop" only?
Screen transistions are not my priority, but Go Launcher is much user friendly anyway, and allows quick access to most commonly used options by me.
Yeah just hold one app and drag ontop of another to put them both in a folder

How much memory did you say Go Launcher used up? when I'm in it's app drawer tab and kill everything I can only get a max of about 150 out of a possible 303Mb
I will say that you can clear up some memory if you "Freeze" your default launcher using Titanium Backup.
Oh and one of the coolest things about Go Launcher is that since I made a Titanium Backup of it before changing Roms, when I got my phone back up and running again, all I had to do was go into Go Launcher's Preferences, scroll down and hit restore configuration (I had made a back up, can't forget that) and all my custom icons were restored. I had to add my widgets back manually, but that wasnt too big of a deal (I didn't make a titanium backup of that, but I think you can).
...hold on, actually Titanium Backup just restored all my apps, the Go Launcher's configuration is completely separate from titanium backup. GO Launcher creates it's own folder on your SD card for it's backups. It's pretty cool.
Soooo..... has anyone happened to have talked to the developer or anything to find out about making custom themes? I haven't had any experience making themes for other launchers, but I'd like to give a shot at making one for Go Launcher and I haven't seen anything on how to make one unfortunately.
nice but crashes too frequently
for my it is the best launcher for now, and in the oficial page says that it going to have customs themes
Is there any way to decrease the number of screens? I find it incredibly irritating to see have 5 screens, I only need and use 2.
I found GO Launcher to work best with stock 2.1. There are buch of themes for it, but only several of them are good for me.

Just swipe up, and you'll get all screens.
i used SPB Shell 3D and its great no FCs icons can be modified you choose any interface like iphone, samsung galaxy and HTC style
This app jus got better!!! besides its all new awsome looks,its fast n smooth!!
I love this launcher as you can resize widgets and mess around with almost anything in it.

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

Hey guys,
I installed launcher pro on my phone and use it as my preferred launcher. However, even when the settings under dock are checked, I don't get a number letting me know I have a new text message over the icon in the dock. Is anyone else having this problem? If so, have you found a solution or is this something the developer has to fix? Thanks for the help

Just installed LP and the dock notifications are not working.
I've got LauncherPro (Plus) on my GS2 and the notification icon is working for the text messages. I don't use the missed phone or gmail notifications. I also changed my dock shortcuts to the stock shortcuts and stock icons. I don't know if that makes a difference or not. I also use Handcent as my default messaging application and turn off notification bar notices for all but a few close contacts (daughter, hubby, etc.).
LPP is my default home app...
When I was using LPP (with custom icons), my notifications for all three stopped working after a while. I switched to Go Launcher EX with notifications, and they didn't work either. It's pretty damn annoying.
It was originally working for me as well. I read somewhere that Google had patched Gmail for security reasons but I forgot to disable updates on Gmail ... so I think when I did the mass app updates in Market that it broke it like it did last time on my HTC aria. I'm assuming we need the original apk now but I have a feeling we're screwed ... I don't want to revert to my cwm backup since I did so much tweaking since then but it may be the only way to get email notification to work again.

Okay I restored my stock rooted backup in cwm and almost immediately market tried downloading Gmail updates. I killed my data connection before it finished downloading and cleared market cache and data. I froze Gmail and started the market with data connection again ... so far I still have notification in Launcher Pro but who knows if there's a way to disable Gmail app updates in the future?

This is a problem that seems to occur only in ICS, but I don't know more than that. It didn't happen when I was running stock, stock/rooted, or Saurom. I'm using the Apex launcher but a quick Google search shows similar reports from people using Nova.
I'm running Flappjaxxx's ICS IMM76D UCLE2 Base (but I haven't updated to the new release that came out today). I've also noticed this on ICS Objection (with Apex launcher).
So, here's the issue: occasionally widgets will "Freeze" and stop updating. I've seen this with Beautiful Widgets (the clock will stop updating, so it will read 3:05 when it's actually 3:30), Android Pro Widgets (specifically the calendar and bookmark widgets--the calendar will not let you advance to different months, the bookmarks widget will not update to show new bookmarks if you refresh it), and the TweetCaster Pro widget (it will not update to show the latest tweets when you press the refresh button).
There is still some functionality with the widgets--they don't die completely. I can still touch the clock portion of Beautiful Widgets and get to the alarm settings. I can still touch individual days in the APW calendar widget and see appointments, and touch the header to launch the full calendar, and the APW Bookmarks widget is still scrollable, clicking individual bookmarks will launch those pages, and touching the header bar will launch the browser's default page. But for some reason they stop updating.
Things I know
1. Restarting Apex launcher appears to reset the widgets. They start fully functioning again.
That's about it.
RIght now I"m trying to determine if JuiceDefender might have something to do with it. I don't think it would because I've used JD on my other phones with no issues... HOWEVER, none of my other phones have ever run ICS. I don't know. Maybe ICS is different. I know JD had issues working with Gingerbread for a while...
Anyone have any thoughts? Questions? Experience with this? It's a bit mystifying. NOw that I know restarting Apex launcher gets everything working again it's a lot less annoying than it was (rebooting every time was a pain) but I'd still like to figure out how to make it go away.
I had same problem with beautiful widgets. my task killer was my problem.it was to aggressive

Same problem.
Have this problem both with Omega 7.0 rom and cyanogenmod.
Some widgets freezes after some minutes when phone is in standby mode.
Just by tilting the phone and let the window be landscape and then tilt it back again will activate the widget.
But it is annoying....
i had the same problem with widgets freezing; i uninstall go weather widget and go launcher and now it s fine again !!
edit: oops it came back...no freeze with Apex but it's still freezing with Tsf..
reedit: i found my problem: it was "clever contact widget "that froze the others widgets but only with TSF shell (not with Apex!!!)

i'm using a motorola atrix 2 with stock ics and this's happening to me also , it's not any app that's causing this problem , it's a bug in ics as to many .. searched gooogle .. no launcher can help , i tried nova prime and apex but same happens to both , but now i'm on stock blur again and it doesn't happen so frequently but still happens, they say that only google can help in this case , they have to give an update .. so we have to hopw that they'll give us one soon .. until then we have to restart the launcher
note- try an anlog clock on your home screen , or anlaog and digital both home screens in a one home screen , you might notice that digital clock freezes when the analog clock works fine , i don't know why but that's happening to me ..
Hi,
I use latest Nova launcher (Premium) and CM11 (nightly). But the same happened with CM10 stable and nightlies.
When I install new app - shortcut doesn't appear on my homescreen. I remember long time ago (I think that was in ICS stock launcher) - shortcuts would appear. But not anymore.
Automatically add widgets checkbox is checked in the Play Store Settings.
I even reinstalled fully Nova. No success.
Any ideas how to fix that?
Anyone?
Nova settings
New apps
Check the box
I believe its off by default now as many may not like apps just showing up
