I have Le Max 2 with 5.9.20s China Rom. Everything works fine except Fingerprint Scanner. (that is a separate issue).
What I see that Hangouts, Gmail, Youtube and some third party app icons are not showing properly. they are either compressed vertically or horizontally. No functionality issue but it is wierd. I tried clearing cache and data for Launcher but did not make any difference.
Is there any ideas?

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 ..
Hello All,
I've been running Stock JB for a while and I just flashed houstonn's Carbon 4.3. It works great is very smooth and stable. However, It looks like the Email, Phone and SMS apps in Carbon do not have unread count / badge displayed in launcher or dock. The stock version's corresponding apps do display unread count as little red circle on the icons. I am not sure if this is because of the launcher or what. It appears that badge/unread count may not be available for any AOSP based ROMS? Please correct me if I am wrong.
Does any one know if ParanoidAndroid apps (or other ROMs) display badge/unread/missed count?
It looks like Apex Prime or Nova Prime launcher claim to have this feature, but I have not tried them yet. I want to check here first to see that the deal is if I want badge/unread/missed count on apps.
What are my options?
1. Does PA or any other rom support this?
2. New Launcher? Which one?
3. New E-mail/Phone/SMS apps? Which ones?
3. Some how obtain stock apks?
Thanks in advance for your help.
SV.
Nova Prime works well, had the Gmail count hang up a few times showing unread when there wasn't.
I use Nova prime and it seems to work fine for me.

What about stock e-mail app
Thanks for the input on Nova Prime. Looks like it works with Gmail fine. Any idea about stock/touchdown/Emoze? I have to use Exchange email.
Thanks again.
SV
Yeah it works with those too... AFAIK. I used em in the summer and it was working then.

Things I've tried so far
Just thought I'd update with what I found so far. Thanks for Nova recommendation.
1. Notifyer - sort of works, but very unreliable.
2. Nova Prime + TeslaUnread - Works with Stock Email/Phone/SMS/K9. Does NOT work with Emoze. Also, The bade doesn't really show "unread" count. It just shows the same count as the notification bar. If you clear the notification from the notification bar, the badge also disappears. This defeats the whole purpose of the "unread" badge for me. If I get 10 messages and I clear the notification but only read one message, the badge is gone!
Next up is Apex Paid and Apex Notifier. I'll also try Missed It (not really a "badge", but a widget).
Apex and Missed It
I've tried the latest version of Missed It. It does work, but with a couple of really big flaws. Problem 1: If I clear notifications from the status bar, the count is cleared from Missed It as well. Kind of pointless to have this app if all it does is mirror the notification bar. Problem 2: E-mail Count is wrong. I have more than one account configured in e-mail. I've tried multiple event settings set to all three different settings, but no dice. It appears that the stock e-mail app sends notifications with number of unread mails every time it gets a bunch of new e-mails. But it sends one notification per account. So count as single or multiple probably doesn't work since it sends only one notification if more than one new mails arrive at the same time. Count as value does not work since it sends one notification per account, so the last account notification overwrites previous. Count as value can work if it is additive. Note that Missed It is supposed to provide counts for Nova Prime, but I didn't bother with config since it does not work for me.
The last one that I've tried (and it worked) is Apex Pro. Don't know why I didn't try this first. Works right out of the box. Note that a companion app called Apex Notfiier must be installed. But is all seamless and works great with AOSP dialer, SMS, Calendar and E-Mail. On dialer, it clears the count if I clear the notification bar or open the dialer, which I think is ok. It does the proper thing for SMS, E-mail and Cal and retains the true count as report by the app. It is supposed to work with few other email clients including K9 but not with Whatsapp, facebook etc.
So, I stuck with Apex Pro ($4) in the end. Not sure why this is not native to Android since the badge/unread is very useful.
Hope this helps others.
Sarat
On a different note, I couldn't find a decent email app that combines exchange 2010 + POP3/IMAP so I had to stick with Stock. Stock works fine, but limited in its user interface and tweakability. Be careful with Emoze as everything is routed through their servers in Israel.
Holo Launcher HD Plus supports this. Worked well when I tried it, but I keep some messages unread, so always seeing the red circles on my dark themes annoyed me. Lol

Hi,
I've updated my RM3 Pro [Kate] to latest MIUI 8 Global Beta - 7.4.6
And I have a couple of issues:
First and foremost - when I set my own lockscreen wallpaper it stays like that for a few hours [around 1-5], then reverts to those dynamic changing wallpapers. At first I thought that there might be some issue with my SD card, so I moved the file to internal memory - this gives the same effect. Then I tried factory reset, still didn't help. Home screen wallpaper is unaffected by that.
Other thing is that now LED notification is not working for apps like Messenger, Snapchat or Instagram, only for text messages and missed calls.
Phone is unlocked and rooted aswell.
Any ideas how to deal with that? I didn't have that problem with 6.10.13, but I don't really want to revert, because that newer versions seems faster and lighter on RAM somehow.
I am using Poco Launcher and installed Pixel icon pack. However after some time, some icons revert back to the default Poco icons while the rest stayed as it is. Why is this so?
I'm having the same issue. Mostly happens with the facebook & messenger app icons.
Same exact problem, Facebook, Messenger and Google Podcasts
It seems it has something to do with the recent release of miui 10 . .
Same thing happens with themes.If you apply a non pre-installed theme.After some time it reverts back to stock
Is there any icon pack confirmed to work fine with poco launcher? i tried borealis and h20 , they all have some icons reverting to default
Got the same issue. Tried it with H20 and Viral and it seems to be happening solely with the Facebook and Messenger icon.
Has anyone found a fix yet?
Got the exact same issue. Anyone else?
It's not just Facebook and messenger, I've noticed Google play store reverted back to original as well.
annoyingly, over time they all revert back to stock.
I'm having the exact same issue with pixelful icon pack, but I've noticed that the gallery icon also changes back to stock sometimes, it also happened with the play store once.
i have same thing with icons and themes , all back to classic , even the poco theme
looks like im not the only one here hahaha have the same problem too
This seems to happen when an app updates from play store. Bug in the launcher.
Poco Launcher was updated recently to version 2.6.3.7.
This bug should be fixed.
