Everytime I reboot My device some of my widgets wont show. It says problem loading widget. To get it to work again, I need to reinstall and re-add them. Why? My smart keyboard pro also does this. I have a Fat partition.
What's your default launcher? Which ROM? Firmware/BaseBand? With or without App2SD?
And have you tried changing the default launcher to see if it's a launcher-related bug?

Default Launcer is ADW EX, ROM is MiniCM6 1.0.0, firmware/baseband is obvious. App2SD is the FroYo native.

I shall try this. The applications causing trouble have been moved to the phone memory. Will see if it does help.
Widgets always need the main program to be on phone not on SD card, else on next reboot you end up with problem loading Widgets error msg, just move the app back to phone memory, and replace the widget and all will be good

Just did an experiment on this issue, APN On/Off Widget, by CurveFish, running from a C4 microSD, from system/sd/app, starts up without problem.
Anyway it's always a good practice to place important tiny widgets in the phone memory, IMHO.

Actually all widgets must be kept in Phone memory, it's an OS limitation.

Not exactly to custom 2.1 ROMs with App2SD scripts. I tried adding Fancy Widget to system/sd/app under Zeam Launcher this morning. Both the widgets I mentioned above turned up as expected.
And that's why I asked Theshawty which ROM he's using. MiniCM ROMs create an sd-ext directory under the root directory and chop some programs into two parts, smaller part in phone memory, larger part in SD card... The 2 App2SD methods act differently. FYI.
Didn't know that, thanx for the info!
On my SGS2 after sorting all my menu icons into groups on different menu screens e.g. one screen for games another for music apps etc, after rebooting for whatever reason the icon are all scrambled randomly around all the menu screens and I have to sort them again, and yes I do save after sorting. Obviously this isn't a major issue but it is annoying, any comments or suggestions (apart from stop being so anal). Thanks.

Be nice if you told us what ROM you are using and what launcher you have installed
You could create individual
folders and put your apps in that

Well I would've if I'd actually changed the rom or launcher, have root ( used cf-root, kernel DUKJ1) apart from that the phone is unchanged.

Yeah already have some folders but they too get scattered randomly, thanks anyway.
Yeah but could you not use appzorter from the market and that would sort your folders alphabetically?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Had this once with tw 4.5. cant remember how I solved it. Every time I restarted the launcher it just messed up the icons
it happens for me too,i got 400+apps but its sometimes annoying but still iam on stock an the phone dosnt hickup even with full load...
Sounds familiar...
tarobun said:
I had a similar problem which I fixed by clearing the TwLauncher data (in Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> All).
Doing this will cause all the current icon positions to be lost, but it should start remembering them going forward.
I think there was something corrupt that prevented the icon positions from being saved.
Hopefully this works for you.

Thanks, i had a look at that but i'd prefer to have these particular icons sorted into groups rather than alphabetically, thanks anyhow for the reply.

Hi,
When ever I turn my phone on, I always get:
"Unfortunately, Apex Launcher has stopped"
What could be causing this?
use android injector from your pc to install any other additional launcher. clear cache and data of apex
Or you can uninstall and reinstall apex launcher again.

just in case you have done a backup before you can try this:
go in recovery mode, backup and restore/advanced restore/choose the backup/restore system..... that should fix
otherways if you don't have a backup done you can load the same deodex rom on your external/sd and then go on recovery.....
hope this will help you

for that purpose he can use "android injector" to install any launcher, after that he can switch to that launcher and install/reinstall/uninstall apex
Tried Android Injector for the same problem, fails to load new launcher every time. Thanks anyway for the suggestion though

not to necro, but heres an easy fix
The problem was bad (or improperly upgraded?) saved data in the launcher app. Here's how I fixed it.
At the dialog above, press "Report"
When in the report screen, drag down the notification bar at the top of the screen.
Press the settings button in the upper left of the notifications area.
Tap "Apps", then "All", then Apex find Launcher in the list. Tap Apex Launcher.
Tap "Clear Data".
You lose your home screen customizations, but at least the phone now works again.
you can also just choose to uninstall it

Same here, after the update today (09/24) Apex launcher froze. Since I had another launcher no issue with phone's operation.
Is clearing the data only option? or is there any issue with the latest update?
Clear data didn't help me after today's problem.. seems to me that there's a problem with this certain update
you can enter the settings using the drag-down menu and then uninstall updates to the launcher
you lose your settings and home screen..
I had backups for them so just restored them and it's working again
hopefully they'll fix it soon
same here
on Droid X ICS Gummy
Updated launcher today...
Had to uninstall the update
all better now
Thx

This is the only thing that worked for me. Uninstall updates. It seems that the new version of Apex Launcher (v1.2.5) constantly crashes. Hopefully v1.2.6 comes out soon!
Looks like an issue across the board, I'm still stuck.. All users have reported the issue in the Play storelink
From s3forums:
"The Dev has been contacted and a fix in progress"
Who knows how long but at least they know. I'm gonna keep my settings for now and suffer with my uncustomized Go or TW or whatever for now. Hopefully it wont be long. Nice beta testing huh.....
Ver:1.3.1 working great

Apex Launcher is back, dev has done a great job in bring it back in a day!! Go ahead and grab the latest version and enjoy the launcher.
I installed Nova launcher to get my phone working. And to be honest, I think I stick with it for a while. Multi select app to put them on a page or create a map is very easy.
Maybe it is also possible with Apex, but it have not found it.
So the problem is like this, i have the Xperia Sola with .54 ICS, and i have the 4.2 by Serajr Xperia home launcher, the problem is every time i go to another app from the launcher, it refreshes every time, and i have to wait untill it loads all of my desktop widgets and icons, same goes for the app drawer, i have to manualy set it again to alphabeticaly order or wait 5 min till it gets back to the setings made by me. I tryed a different launcher, the stock ics .54 launcher, the yuga launcher, the new xperia home that works in parallel with the stock one, nova launcher, adw launcher, apex launcher, go launcher, next launcher, the same thing is happening. Excloded the launcher from taskkillers, even unninstalled the taskkillers. Nothing, still refresh after entering anorher app. Tryed wiping, cache, dalvik, reflash and reset nada... :| is there any fix for this constant refresh?

How many apps have u installed and what is the amount of free ram?
Sent from my ST25i using Tapatalk 2
Are you on a custom kernel or do you have any mods installed ? Since you reflashed also, Im guessing its some app or mod you use each time thats clearing the Launcher from memory each time !

I thought also about that but i'm on stock firmware, only root cwm, the tabbed status bar and the 4.2 serajr launcher, stock kernel. As for the number of apps installed, usualy i have about 40 or so, but the issue persists even if i'm on the stock with no apps of mine installed, only the stock ones. Free ram, usualy 80-90 MB
go to settings
developer options
set maximum background process to 2
this will limit multitasking and give more free ram...
this is not a permanent solution bt more of a damage control... plz report back if it works... and btw 40mb free is a bit low... i always have atleast 80-90 mb free wid 36 apps

Ever tried factory reset???
i mentioned in the first post , i did not only once, the factory reset. As for the limit, think it this way, it annoys me a lot, so i tryed every setting i know it coud fix it or make a damage control, and that includes changing the background limit from no to standard, from standard to 1, from 1 to 2 from 2 to 3 and so on and so fourth

That might be the case, Themer is designed to work with stock ROMs (as that what we test it on). Lower RAM also doesn't really help, as we're still trying to optimize Themer's performance for low-end devices. Sorry about that.

Hi Themer team. I am having problem with your Themer app. I have a Nexus 4, which is still powerful with 2GB ram, but the launcher keeps redrawing. It's REALLY ANNOYING..so because It's redrawing when I scroll in home screen it's really laggy. But after maybe 10 seconds, everything settles, and becomes smooth again. After using an app for a while and go to Themer, it happens again. PLEASE fix it for us.. I really love themer, and recently installed it for someone who didn't know about it, but I'm pretty sure she's getting mad too with this bug..
Thank you.

Hi.
Please try this method, as it should help fix the issue:
1. Uninstall Themer.
2. Delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder (removing the Exported folder within it if you saved any themes).
3. Reinstall Themer.
We are aware of the problem and the developers are doing their best to fix the issue
