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!

Nobody can help me?
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...
Good luck

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.

K, I think I figured it out, for some reason I got a notification when using the SetCPU widget that to only have one widget on at a time, I deleted the weather, and Im fine.
The number of widgets doesnt really matter. You need to have all apps that use widgets saved to internal memory and all home launchers in internal as well. When you reboot or connect to the computer your sd card is unmounted so for everything to work just put them in internal memory and be patient when you reboot. If you still have problems go to adw settings and reboot adw.

Instead of using ADW on KaosFroyo, try using LancherPro; I get better performance and smoother results using LauncherPro. You can find it on the Android Market.
+1 with Launcher Pro +2 for PLUS! I have seen a drastic change in speed with this!
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?

I have an old Evo 3D that i will be just using for a 3D picture/video viewer and want to get rid of/freeze all of the junk and bloatware. No buddies, friendstream, Spiderman etc.
What I need working: WiFi, Google play, gallery, HDMI out, camera. I don't need the phone part to work even.
What is the best smallest ROM that I can use where the above works but the crapware is gone and battery life is better than stock?
Also is there a way to stop all of the remaining stuff from always autoloading and taking up RAM/CPU like maps, mail etc?
Assuming your phone is CDMA, if you are looking for something cleaned up, but still very stock looking, I recommend MeanROM 4.5 for Gingerbread, or Mean ICS for Ice Cream Sandwich. You could also try SOS ICS which is an Ice Cream Sandwich ROM based on Mean ICS but that allows you to pick and choose some options to install.

Since what is crapware is defined by each person individually, what ROM do you suggest? The amount of extraneous software is minimal in Mean compared to most other ROMs, especially compared to stock. Since you are rooted, you can freeze or uninstall apps you do not want using something like ROM Toolbox.

The beauty of having root is being able to remove "crapware". Just remove it yourself. Problem solved.
Viper ROM is a good start, it comes with most bloatware already deleted and Titanium backup already installed so you can pick and choose whatever else you want to delete. I would recommend using the gingerbread ROM to maximize on your battery since you are using it for a multimedia device.
aosp. they dont come with any bloatware. Agrabren (i think thats how its spelled) has a CM9 rom with a working camera.

Does this ROM have everything that I asked about working such as camera and HDMI?
I know some of these ROMs break certain features, a common one that goes by-by with these is HDMI out.
Also how do I know what can be frozen without bad consequences? I froze apps on an Infuse once, ones that were even specifically stated as not being needed, and the whole interface dissappeared rendering the phone unuseable. I had to go into download mode and re-flash the whole thing and set up from scratch. That was a hassle and time waster.
I would just install a stable ass rom like MeanRom and then use Titanium backup to uninstall or freeze all the crap you don't want.

I've trialed and tested a number of different ROMs but find that regardless of the ROM,
TOUCHWIZ WILL ALWAYS CRASH AT SOME POINT!!
Doesnt happen all the time, but it will happen, and it is a pain!!!!
Does anyone know of any ROMs where touchwiz has been removed and is not the default launcher in the ROM.
Many Thanks...
Just change launcher! Try nova, to clear default go. Settings/applications/manage applications/tw launcher and clear default

touchwiz crashes? What do you mean by that? I hope you are not talking about launcher reloading?
I would normally agree with you, and theoretically you'd think that would work! But it doesn't.. Touchwiz, because it's running in the rom still in the background, still crashes and no matter how many times you click "ok" it constantly crashes and freezes up the phone, regardless of the alternative launcher I'm running over the top..
So I was Hopi.g for a rom that had the touchwiz launcher completely removed! Either that, or is there away to completely stop touchwiz from running once I have another launcher open. Other than "force stop", cuz that doesn't seem to work either..!

Well, obviously the widgets etc redraw every now and again, but no, what I mean is it crashes!! And no matter how many times you click "ok" to restart it, it will never restart, just keep getting the popup "touchwiz has stopped, restart" or sumthin like that...
The only way to stop it and make it run again is to restart the phone every time!

I have never got a force close on TW launcher. If you are getting it on multiple roms (even stock) then there is a chance that you are restoring system data?

I would like to think that i'm not a noob when it comes to flashing etc.. I am aware and clear on what needs to be done / and not done, when flashing new roms, so i'm 99% sure that accidently restoring system data is not the issue..

Can you just use Titanium Backup and Freeze Touchwiz Home? That should stop it, although I find it really strange that it's crashing in the backup if you're using a different launcher, it shouldn't even be running if you're on another launcher.
So I just updated Ape/ launcher and now it keeps on force closing. Is it like this for anyone else?

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.

Does anyone have an APK of the previous version? Touchwiz is super glitchy on my Telus Galaxy Note... I need my phone working!
I dont have a settings option from within the drop down notification bar
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.
I updated mine the other day and it has been running better than before... im on adrenaline 2.0

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
Oh well all is good now....
