Hi,
I got root and actual backups.
Sometimes my Wigets or App Icons get lost from desktop (mostly Widgets).
Which file/database contains those Widget placement so I can restore it? (4.4.2)
Since this happens quite often and I mostly don't know where which Widget was...
Anybody who can help?

They are stored in the data partition for the app using them. This normally happens of the app is on the sdcard which should never be done.
But often all Widgets get lost the same time and they are NOT all on the SD in my case.
So there must be any other Place where the allover placement is saved

The layout for then are stored in the launcher files. You don't have your lather on sd card do you?
No I don't, got Phoenix rom which has the Samsung Launcher, do you know which file exactly has the Layout?
Phoenix 9.4
No I dont. It is different for each launcher and I stopped using touch wiz many years ago due to it being unstable
Anyone?
Which Launcher do u use now?

I use either Nova or action launcher. Nova is the over all best launcher if you were to ask anyone here. Most people use that one.

Hello
I flash updates pretty often and If im lucky the widgets stays in place. However if I wanna flash a new rom, I am wondering how I can backup all the custom widgets I have made in Desktop Visualiser? I have googled to no avail on this.
If I cant save the widget layout (this seems to be launcher repsonsibilty) thats fine, at least can i backup all the custom widgets i have made with DVR.
Cheers

I suppose it cant be done. I figured.
Damn. Spent about 2 hours yesterday customizing different icons to different apps and tasks. A TEEEDIOUS work indeed.
Would be nice to be able to save them for future use.
Anyone got any nice ideas how to figure this out? I mean they are there, on my homescreens, so they do exist.. just gotta find them and copy them
Pl0x
Hello there. I wonder if there app available to sort application by name in Optimus UI launcher? Like Appzorter for Touchwiz.
I'd rather not install another launcher, but if that's the only way, I'm open to suggestion. In the past I use Go Launcher, but feel it quite "heavy" on system resources (on my old Galaxy Ace).

You can sort it manually. Otherwise you will have to use another launcher.

That is my biggest annoyance with the LG launcher.
Bummer.
Right now I'm using Nova Launcher with Touchwiz theme I feel it quite fast. For weather I'm using Yahoo! Weather. Still trying to find free calendar widget like one built in.
Em, right touch button and reset, I think it will sort app by name.

That does sort them. It sorts alphabetically the built in apps first. Then after that alphabetically the downloaded apps.
It is a little better, but it would be nice to have all of them mixed together in alphabetical order. Can't have everything we want.

but they get the phone stuck, and keep crashing after couple of weeks
i would suggest you use folders - it's easier on the eye, and saves space and pages

Use a different launcher then. Never had Nova crash on me
is it just me, or has everyone else lost the ability to have the google Now widget on one of their screens?
It was working fine but now it's gone.
I tried to add it back and the widget it 4x4 and wont fit
I swear there used to be a 2x2 version but it's missing now.
what happened?

I simply resized my widget. I'm currently at 2 X 3. Using Apex shell, if that matters.

Hmmm
Well, I created a new home screen and was able to get the widget onto it, and then was able to resize it as you mentioned.
I dunno why it changed on me, but thanks to you I got it working.
Thanks
Clearly the issue was a problem between the screen and the chair.
I wish they would have let us have the widget at the top of the screen on all the home screens like you can in normal ICS/JB. I use it a lot.
I checked the title suggestions and the S3 doesn't have a solution in them... The suggestions for other phones don't seem very good either, although I will take a look at LauncherPro.
Question:
Is there a way to restore widgets to their correct screens and locations? I like trying ROMs and I've got saving/restoring my data and apps down so I don't lose anything but widgets are a pain. I get the big red rectangles but not the widgets. Have no problems paying for an app that does it, so I'm not just looking for a freebie handout.
Ideally the app would also restore apps and data into a new ROM, but I'd be happy if it just looked after my widgets. I run 7 home screens and have my Launcher at 6 columns x 7 rows - I don't mind having to set that up prior to restore but again, ideally it would be nice if the app would restore those settings.
*grins* Not asking much... am I?

From my experience, which is limited to Apex Pro, I can tell you that restoring the home screens work for logos & folders of apps, whereas somehow my widgets (I got 1 widget, which is the calendar in agenda view) does not work somehow. Maybe other launchers can do it though.
Thanks chrismast - it seems to be an issue. I can't find anything on Playstore that specifically says it will restore widgets, even if you're on a stock layout. Maybe it is too hard given all the changes and layouts people have on their devices? le sigh...
Its very rare to restore Widgets as they were.

@rootSU - do you mean it is rare that people put widgets back as they were or that it is rare to be able to restore them as they were? The 2nd one, yep! Having all kinds of problems trying to find a way to do it automatically. The 1st possibility - I like to try different ROMs and see what they are like to use - to do that I really need to have the same set up in each so I can compare. Restoring widgets to what they were before an upgrade seems a logical thing to do, so I am puzzled it hasn't been addressed before now.
Maybe I am just a bit odd?

Yes the latter. I ONCE managed to restore fully using titanium backup. I suppose it depends on the type of widgets. Go launcher and Nova have internal backup features, but all it does is put the widgets in their places. I still have to "tap to restore widget" which for some is great, they just pop back up but others that are configurable, i still have to go through all the config again.
nova launcher prime does a superb job of this

Not for me. Once I restore widgets like:
Tasker tasks
Set CPU
Beautiful Widgets
Pure Calendar
Simi Clock
I have to go into each and set my preferred settings.
