[Q] TSF Launcher issue!! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay so I'm disappointed... TSF launcher is very laggy for me and it's constantly restarting the launcher saying "tsf shell is loading". I can't seem to operate my phone due to this. Is there a fix or a work around? I really want to like this launcher! I have the current update and I've cleared RAM..and all that...still the same issue. I'm using the international Galaxy S3 I9300. This is a quad core CPU it's suppose to handle this >.<. Any ideas on what to do??

Its not the phone problem..
Use an new version or older version..

If you brought it from store.. You should just report to the dev and wait for an fix..
If you just downloaded it from web... Just search for an older version

Bummer sucks I paid like 16 bucks for this lol...
I got it through the app store..I wrote to the devs...maybe they know a workaround for me..if not I guess I just have to wait..my money is gone now

16 bucks for an launcher is just so smart..

use xposed framework to lock it in memory

SEARCH before you ask..
Anyway.. Yeah he's right, if you search you'd find out ANYTHING
Spend some time with your phone..
I guess there should be something like "keep launcher in memory ” which you'd find out in settings or options of the launcher

I found it..took some time I just went into every settings on my phone lol. It didn't help. I think the problem is fixed now...I'll give it a day or 2...I just did a clean install of my ROM and now the launcher appears to be running smooth..I left the memory thing on still just to be safe. I'll report back in a few days to see if it's actually stable now.

Where did you find the "keep launcher in memory" setting...?

TouchWiz Launcher and Widgets

Here is the apk for the touchwiz launcher. I installed it with no problems. (directly through phone) this is the touchwiz30_rolle file. This file does not need to be installed through adb!
Credit goes to rolle3k in the nexus section for the touchwiz30_rolle.apk file
the touchwiz.zip file includes samsung widgets and original unmodified touchwiz launcher file. I have not tested/tryed these, though if you want to install them, it must be done through adb.
I am not responsible for any damage to your phone.
couldnt attach the files directly so they can be found at:
http://www.multiupload.com/UPBFG48SEN
I'm willing to try. I have already backed up. Do I just do a normal push?

I believe so, if it isnt, they may need to be compiled into a zip file for clockwork.
Its funny, all the people with a vibrant want nothing more than to get rid of touchwiz, and here we are adding it.

haha tell me about it, i just came from a vibrant to this and i dont want nothing to do with it at all! lol
i just wish i could get the memo.apk to work on my phone :'[
Did anyone have luck pushing the files? I haven't gotten a chance to get to my computer to do this.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Problems
I tried pushing it, and i am not getting it to install. anyone have better luck.
(i am referencing the the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk file)
Thanks downloading now directly to my phone.
EDIT: The launcher is a little slow when I scroll thru the icons. Plus the widgets doesn't want to install so I removed the whole thing.
Thanks anyway!

how did you get the launcher file to install?. I had no luck. i got it to push, just couldnt get it to install. please post directions.
VibrantOwnr,
In the zip file the .apk named "TouchWiz30_rolle.apk". That's the only one that installed for me. The one named "TouchWiz30Launcher.apk" wouldn't install at all. The widgets wouldn't install either for some reason.
TouchWiz30_rolle.apk is just the launcer. No widgets!

My gf has a vibrant and she love the touchwiz. I like it a lot too is just personal preference.
Yes its also very choppy when flipping through screens on the application drawer....
can we possibly get a fix to that? I really love and prefer the TouchWiZ interface but the choppiness kills it, any one have any ideas as to whats causing it?

Cant seem to find internet icon

So this is damn simple, i bought my galaxy s2 a few months ago and since then i can not find the Internet icon to access the browser (only way i can open androids browser is by searching something on google widget)
I even upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 and i still cant find it... any ideas ?
Thanks.
no1 knows ? am i the only one with this problem ?
If you're on ICS, do yourself a favour and head to the Google Play Store, and download Chrome Beta. It should appear in your apps list once downloaded and it kicks butt compared to the stock browser.
First off, this is a forum, not an instant messaging client. Not everyone is on it at the same time. So be a little more patient. 2 hours is NOT a long time for a forum.
Second, you don't give any information about the actual version of device or firmware that you are on.
Third, if you are on a stock firmware, it's called "internet", not "browser", and it should be in the dock.

There's a dozen different models of Galaxy SII.
Is it an GT-I9100? GT-I9100T/M/P? GT-I9100G? SGH-I777? SGH-I727? SGH-T989? SPH-D710? GT-I9210/T? SHV-E110S/E120S?
Also, 4.0.3; does that mean you are on a stock Samsung ICS firmware? Is the internet icon NOT in your dock? Is it not in your app drawer? (I don't think the app drawer is alphabetized by default)
Are you using a third party launcher, like Apex or Nova, etc?

Ok.... so you could try to create a homescreen shortcut to it first. Long press on an empty space of your homescreen, and select Shortcut, then Application, see if you can find "Internet". (that's how it is in Gingerbread, I can't imagine it would be that different in ICS - but if it is, you should be able to figure it out)

I got a pop up yesterday claiming that there was a new software update, all i did was press update, downloaded the firmware, installed it, and thats all...
And trust me, it is not in the dock, not even on the app drawer.. i could even upload pics or something... only way i can open the browser is by using google widget... had the same issue on gingerbread. any idea ?

See my post above.
Are you using the TouchWiz launcher? If so, try arranging your app drawer to list view and see if it turns up. That will alphabetize all your apps.

You just have to make it your default home app after installing, then it will work after launching.
Yeah I install it I get the which launcher do you want to use thing and i pick it but one to use it once incase of crashing, if I set it to always and it starts crashing i cant change launcher and I haven't rooted my phone

At my side it works, maybe you have some wrong APK file. Try to look on youtube for the guy xeetechcare he has posted a video about the Android Pie on SGS9 and there is the download for the home apk in the description.
Yeah I got that one but I think it wont work because I have an Exynos s9+ from Australia
Anyone know how to install on the Exynos
just simply instal the cloned apk and make it to the default home app as others said already! its working.
on exynos too
That's what I get
Working normally in my exynos s9+,but it is only launcher,so the settings still for samsung experience v9,so no dark mode,no samsung experience v10 recent apps.nothing special

You have to set it as the default launcher in settings>apps>default apps. Not when you get the pop up asking you which launcher you want to use
anybody got a link to the original creator of this??

Tab S3 emtremely lag issue

I got tab s3 days ago. It ran android 9 but since it was so laggy I decided to go back to Oreo but it does not seem to help. It is even laggy when I pull down the status bar, like a phone with 2gb of ram in 2019. I tried a hard reset, revert back to Oreo and wipe /cache in default recovery but nothing helps. Any suggestions for me guys I don't know what's happening with my tablet. Plus that Knox counter has not been tripped yet, Antutu score is 136594 (I find it normal) and it's still water-resistant. Thank you
Yes, this tablet lags as hell. I sold it due to this problem
It's like that since the Pie update. I'm considering a rollback or perhaps a custom ROM if available. Some research must be done. Very disappointing. :/
Install galaxy labs and app booster plugin. It will optimize the apps and your tab forsure function better.

Finally my tab s3 becomes snappier! but dont get me wrong lags still there but lessen a bit... stock andriod Pie.... wanna say thanks buddy! just bought this at amazon 3 days ago for $300.. dont know if ill exchange it for s4 add $200 but thats too much i think.
Interesting, my tab s3 lags a lot too. I originally got this for study (Paramedic school) and for jogging with. Hasn't quite worked out for me yet, but I'm hoping sai444's input will help here. Maybe a rollback too? Still have to research what Galaxy labs an d app booster are lol.
hmmmm, are you sure (as of Nov 2019) that this isn't just the built in device care? My device care says 100% optimised but I know that to be a bit false. Sure the device is relatively healthy but like this title suggests it behaves more like a device with 2GB. I guess a factory reset (again) and just limit the apps I use.
I installed Galaxy Labs from APK Mirror to my Tab S3 and then tried clicking on App Booster. It says the content is not compatible with my tablet. The same message is displayed when I tried the other options.
Anyone else encounter this?

What resolved it for me is disabling via titaniumB. 80~90% of the bloatware.
I'm using oreo.

Please could you detail the process using titaniumB? My Tab S3 constantly freezes/lags and returns "System UI is not responding-Close or wait (as options)". It's so frustrating.
What apps are considered bloatware??
Well, in TB you have the option to froze any app, if something is broken you can unfroze.
There are others apps that can do this too.
You can search for lists in the internet of bloatware in samsung devices, but you can start searching in the TB for samsung, then all the samsung stuff will be shown, then you can start freezing.
Freeze a few things(try to search what that package is) then restart. If something is wrong unfroze some, reboot and check.
It takes time.
