I'm using Launcher Pro and the app drawer does not show apps stored on the SD card. Anyone else having this issue? They are there on the stock launcher but not Launcher Pro.
Well known and documented issue if you'd searched. Force close Launcher Pro in Settings, applications, all. Then you'll see the SD card apps. You'll have to do this every reboot.

Would be better to post in the thread from where you got the info don't you think?

if you read the thread where the info was from, you would have found out that some applications uninstall when using this method. I would just set the setting back to 0 and only move applications that acutally support apps2sd.
are you using launcher pro? My launcher pro is doing that for some reason.
It's not an issue with Launcher Pro, it's Froyo and Apps2SD after you reboot they disappear. They're still in your phone because you can open them through market but the icons disappear from the launcher and launcher menu.
My nexus is rebooting by it self, after it reboots. My widgets disappear. Also when press the home it automatically goes to ADW.launcher. After originally chose LauncherPro as my default. How do i fix this? It's very annoying placing widgets back on my homes screens.
Don't move the apps with widgets to SD.
Or use Apps2EXT instead of Froyo's built in Apps2SD.
Go into application settings for adw launcher and clear defaults. The next time you hit the home button you should get a pop up where you can select the default app.
Launched pro was on my sd card. Don't remember doing that, but anyhow I moved it back to my phone and i'm no longer experiencing that problem. Thank you for your help. The ppl and XDA forums ARE THE BEST!

Lately I've LP has been freezing on me in a few moments after boot, basically after media scanning is done my UI is frozen and I need to bring up task manager to close out LP and exit out of task manager and it runs fine again, anyone know whats causing this?
it happens i think. i remember just installing chompsms and it's been happening since. switched to handcent and the problem's not there anymore.
maybe some application is causing it on your end?
I have the same problem! No matter what I do, Launcher Pro freezes after booting up, I have to close & re-open!
I had the same problem no matter what setup I used on my phone, even did it straight after a clean factory reset. Gave up with it in the end and am using Zeam Launcher now, very quick and responsive although I do miss the LP widgets
Found a fix, its caused by the .andriod secure folder on the EXTERNAL SD.. delete all the contents from there and mark the folder as READ ONLY and reinstall your apps that were there w/o the EXTERNAL SD card to guarantee they dont come back.
100% fixed on my end!

Ain't that the folder used by apps 2 sd? I would rather put up with fc in lp then screw with app 2 sd.

I dont even use app 2 sd in the first place.
I still have thouse hangs at bootup, sometimes goes fine, sometimes it is needed to be closed. I had this folder on my external sd, the folder is empty. Read and Write flags are off
Any other suggestion?
I have same problem... +1
it looks like its an actual error with the app itself, i have had this problem lots of times, i did a full wipe and only installed launcher pro, nothing else, the only 1 app i had on the phone was launcher pro and it still froze.
i just went to ADW launcher, i like it alot and you can resize widgets and stuff, very customisable..
2nd favourite is zeam, would be my number one but i couldnt figure out how to save the settings... theres a wide range of other launchers why not try something else ??
my LP does that as well on my vibrant. it really isn't that big of a deal, unless you repeatedly reboot your phone...
just wait a little while after your phone boots and just let everything load up
Yes, we can try another launcher, but launcherpro is best for me, because I want grid 5x6 icons. Go launcher is great as well, but there is max 5x5 :/
Basically i try to make ADW Launcher EX my default home screen but it does not remember it as such. I have to constantly choose which home screen I want when i hit home. sometimes it will remember to use ADW EX, but if I restart the phone any memory it once had as the default homescreen is toast and I have to start from scratch.
any ideas?
nexus 1
CM7 rc1
but i also had this problem with CM6.1
Do you have it installed on the SD?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
nah, its saved on the phones internal memory
Hmmmmm... Have you tried wiping data from both launchers?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I can try it again, but everything was wiped when i installed cm7 anyways. I thought for sure that cm7 would fix the issue because it happened in 6.1 as well.
I think it might have to do with widget locker and its home helper though.
I know I'm making the most basic suggestions, but since you didn't give much info on what you've tried, it only makes sense to start with the basics...
The reason I suggested wiping data from the apps is because, even through you may have wiped during your install, you may also have restored data via Titanium?
Again, with nothing to go off, I'm making basic, easy, and obvious suggestions first...

You could always freeze or delete any home screen apps that are taking priority over ADW Ex. Also, if you're using WidgetLocker and you're rooted, you'd be better off disabling HomeHelper and enabling root bypass for the 5 second rule.
Zero problems here, it acts just like any other Home app does, it honors the home launcher defaults.
What you say and what you describe are totally different. You say ADW EX isn't the default but then you say you have to 'start from scratch'. So are you saying that ADW EX is loaded but its settings are reset, or that ADW EX isn't the default?
I use it on my Nexus One (rom in sig) and my Nook Color, zero problems on either.
Double-check that ADW EX isn't installed to sdcard. Titanium and others can in certain situations automatically put all your apps on SD without you knowing. Also, if Widget Locker is on your SD, the home helper function could be causing that. So, is ADW your system default, or is it Widget Locker, with ADW selected within WL?
This happen from few days. Didn't have such issue bfor. For example i install inShot, able to run/open from play store or from setting, but didnt shows on app drawer. This happens on stock launcher and Nova launcher too. Anyone with same problems?
I have not experienced this.
