I have had not problems with Go launcher until wednesday when my copilot icon disappeared then the next day 2 other icons disappeared which is weird. Luckily I had done a Go Launcher backup so it was easy to fix but I might email the dev for the app and let him know.
left feedback on their home page and downloading/installing the 2.31 beta to see if this works
http://golauncher.goforandroid.com/
Im having the same problem too on KE7..
Its not a big deal but its kinda annoying when suddenly some icons went missing.
i've found 2 temp solutions for it..
1) if in portrait, switch to landscape once or twice, it should return to normal.
2)if point 1) didnt work..backup the Go launcher config under preferences,n restore the config when when icons missing again..
N other this little bug, the launcher EX is a fantastic app!
I get the same. Shortcuts disappear. I just restart the phone and the icons come back

That's what I do... I just hope they fix the issue soon, it's a great launcher.
Wow, I had the same happen to me today, while at the super markeg my wife took the phone to take a photo, of our daughter and the 5 buttons at the bottom gone and 5 pluses were there instead. They came back earlier when the app updated though.

I had a little bit of flakey behavior with this one too, not just here but on the N1. To be truthful as time has gone by all the big players (LP, ADW, GO) have become more and more similar in their features and functions and to me it has come to a few simple things, with ADW I get a little hitchiness in the launcher, not big but its there, with GO I get a little bit of assorted things as described, with LP I get no issues and it works smoothly. With touchwiz I get no issues and it works smoothly.
I had been using LP but thought I would beat around the stock launcher and see what could be made of it and truthfully I like some of the things touchwiz as a launcher alone does. It used to be that when I switched back and forth between launchers I felt like I was doing something new and different, rather than the same old thing which had grown boring. Its one of the reasons I switched in the first place, to spice things up. Nowdays though the big three feel much the same, I know I have switched because of the little differences but it feels like using the same launcher. With TW I feel like I'm doing something a little different, its nothing major but its there. I like that. I like the home screen slider that allows me to slide from one far screen to the other or any screen instantly with one hand. No need to pinch and pull up the overview or swipe across. The only real fault I have with it is that you cannot define rows and columns and other basic setup items that would greatly improve my ability to set it up the way I want. I had been hoping that someone might step in and offer a utility that allowed that. So far changing default home and sorting the app drawer alphebetically is covered if you're rooted.
At any rate IMO unless you are a launcher fanboy start checking out the rest of them and see how your performance with your setup is, if its good and you have no issues you're done because the difference between them as far as function,form, and features has become very little. Also consider giving TW a go, it really isnt too bad once you remove all the wiz and use it strictly as a launcher.

I think you may have just swiped the 5 buttons at the bottom of the screen mate. There is a setting in Go Launcher to have around 3 bars at the bottom of the screen. If you make it so its only 1 then you can't swipe it and get those +'s.
lol Good point Matrix, the buttons are swipable so you can add more shortcuts there. I can see how someone could accidently swipe over and think he had something screwed up when the shortcuts were "gone" and only the pluses where you would move new shortcuts were showing.
Same issue here. Icons sometimes disappear when restarting the phone. Restarting again brings them back though

Hello. Noticed this few days ago after one month having the phone.
In the App menu I don't find this behaviour, only on the 7 home screen. If I delete and put again its solved but after some time itvgets back.
So u say only on 7 launcher? If so then contact the developer since sounds like an issue with launcher if doesn't happen on any other launcher etc.
Sent from the valley of the shadows....
No it's not such App like 7 launcher. It is stock touch wiz launcher. I was referring to the 7 home screen specific to android like what do you see in picture at calculator and social hub etc.
Lol I looked at right side image icons and no where else can see slight gradient difference on some of the icons on right side but not able to look if TW issue as don't use it and never had on device for long, but doesn't look right.

Same thing
Infact i also noticed the same thing. Guessing it might be a small ui issue with touchwiz ui.
What do you say gurus ?
Because of the constant Sense reloads I downloaded and am using the Nova launcher.
While I like it a lot, the one thing I miss is the HTC photo gallery. I'm not finding anything out there that matches it. What I am looking for is a full screen widget for one of the home screens that shows all of the photos from your device just as the HTC gallery/album does. What I have seen out there either is an app you have to activated before you get to the album or a widget where you have to go in and select which photos you want to show on the screen.
Any help?
I'm more curious why you were getting sense reloads. I'm not having any issue like that at all, and haven't seen it reported on the mikmik.

Well, in general Sense has had reloading troubles across platforms for about a year or so depending on the device and the update where it seems to have started:

HTC's "community" forum had a number of threads about it which seem to have been deleted:
http://community.htc.com/na/msgs/default.aspx?MessageID=9
Specifically with the EVO LTE:

This is also a problem on the One X:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1601619.html
So, while perhaps not for all, it is an issue. It may depend on what app you are leaving to get back to the home page (seems to happen every time with Chrome) or how many apps "open" or how much memory being used, or who knows... And as you can see from the threads, there have been lots of suggestions and supposed "solutions" which don't seem to solve and sure didn't for me. Got so bad that started considering taking the LTE back before the 14 days was up. But Nova solved this problem. Not only do i like the launcher, there have been no loading/reloading"resets since I installed it.
And, in any case, I find I like the NOVA launcher and plan to stick with it at least until we have fully functional stable ROMs and I am fairly certain there wont be any major OTA updates (one hearsay post I saw suggested a recent update to the International One X helped the reload issue but can't find a confirmation).
Which brings me back to the ONE thing I did like about Sense that I cant seem to replicate, a photo gallery that accesses all of your pics and displays them all the time on one of the home screens, just like the HTC Gallery does.
Anybody????
So, is this impossible to do?
I would like to know if this is at all possible.

Quickpic works great https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder

I just installed quickpic and it doesn't have a widget that I can find.
But, I live what it does with the burst mode shots, gives them their own folder and unpacks them. Nice. I hadn't tried quickpic on this device yet.

Hi all,
I am on a Cyanogenmod 11 Nightly Sprint Galaxy S4. I REALLY wanted to like Themer. It looks AMAZING.
However after using it for a couple days and trying different themes, it came down to one thing - performance.
It just seemed sluggish. When I press the Home button, it took up to 3-5 seconds before switching for the active program back to the Home screen. Then I was frequently seeing a "loading" message.
Secondly, the time it took from tapping an app icon and actually seeing the app was pretty delayed.
My benchmark is that my current launcher is Go Launcher Ex. It's really quick and responsive. Match the performance of that, and I'll be switching.
help
helpplz how to fix error ??
hmmm what version are you running ? running latest here on galaxy s4 and have no noticeable lag when launching an app or going back using home button.Actually running really smooth here.Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling,maybe it is rom related and not themer related.
Remember we are still in beta and there are still some problems,I have had many problems here with previous releases but still found it more adaptable thab go in my opinion.
I'm on note 2 and themer is flying. I'm also running cm11. I'm even under clocked.

This sums up my experience as well. I really like Themer, amazing idea and product, but sadly had to disable it yesterday just because the lag and delays were getting worse. Going back to stock experience made everything responsive one again. I'm on a Sony Xperia SP.

Hi,
Here is something that might help:
1. Uninstall Themer.
2. Delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder (removing the Exported folder within it in case you saved any themes)
3. Reinstall Themer.
I've seen the "loading" issue.
I run the Note 3, and Themer runs great on it.
However, I notice that if my memory is pretty full, Themer will be 'loading' whenever I return to the home screen.
I imagine (not certain) that to not eat up too much of your phone's active memory, Themer unloads the widgets when it isn't up and using them and your free memory is low.
So when you return to the home screen, it must reload the widgets.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
However I do find that keeping a good amount of open memory eliminates the loading issue.

Same here. Nice idea but implementation is sluggish unpredictable and smoothness is dependant on theme used as well. Back to Nova.

Finally had the 4.4.2 update. One issue I noticed is with the Notes Widget. The widget shows the contents of the note in focus. But when I switch notes in the widget, I see a blank note. I have to swipe to change to different homescreen and back to the one with widget to see the contents of the note or flip through 5 notes to see one with text....
Anyone got a solution for me?? I also have this issue on my Xperia ZL. It's REALLY annoying, because I used it a lot on my phone. Used it a second on my tablet to see if it's only a phone problem, but it's not...
