Hi all. I've recently upgraded my phone to the official Froyo release, JPO running on a UK SGS unbranded and unlocked. I like to use Launcherpro as my launcher app because of the calender and twitter widgets but now, when I switch the phone on it just seems to hang for ages. If I click on the app drawer button or anywhere on the screen I get a sequence of vibrations (1 short - pause - 3 short) then I'm offered the chance to force close launcherpro or wait. If I force close it seems to come back to life after but I really don't want to be doing that every time I switch on.
I've tried various things such as 2 different versions (8.0.0 and 8.1.1 latest) and even tried completely wiping my phone, including the dalvik cache, cache partition and formatting the internal SD.
Does anybody have any suggestions what may help with this? Is it a known bug at all?
Many thanks in advance

Has nobody else experienced this? I don't have this problem with Zeam or ADW but I just prefer Launcherpro and would love to get it working properly again

Ok, so I've had this rom running since it first came out. There's no problems with it, but these annoying market notifications won't go away. I've ignored it for a long time, about a couple months, haha. Is there a way of stopping them from popping up? Like, the market cache or something? The problem started when apps downloaded from the market didn't install. They pop up when I download from the market. And sometimes, at random.
And yes, it is raining that bad in Pennsylvania right now, haha.
Here's one more screenshot.
You could try going into settings and clearing market data and c if it works also I use a app called cache cleaner for root users u can get it from the market to clean the cache of a lot of apps on ur rom it has a lot of handy features IMO good luck
Root-Hack-Mod-Always™
I tried that, it didn't work. :'(
same with stock rom
have the same problem with the stock rom. even if the app is deleted and the cache also, the old market notifications still show up when i download new apps from the market
only things i did to my phone are: root access and att bloatware uninstall
Bump. Anyone?
Hi All, just some info sharing after I encountered TwLauncher force close loop after I installed an app. and how I resolved it. Searched for an answer for this but seems like everyone says do a hard reset which I do not want to.
Was trying out Dolphin Browser when suddenly my twlauncher force close. Think the error occurred because the browser tried to put a shortcut on the launcher but my launcher screens did not have space for it. Rebooting does not help as the twlauncher still goes into force close loop when the phone starts up. Almost wanted to do a hard reset but was thinking if I could go into Settings and remove the dolphin browser which may remove the error. After trying, I realised I could still go into the Settings by holding down Menu button to go into Search option (after dismissing the force close) and search for the Settings app. However when I went into the Settings, removed the Dolphin browser and rebooted, launcher still goes into force close loop.
Then I figured I should clear the data in twlauncher and let it launch in default. Same thing again, press and hold Menu button to go into Search. Search for app Settings and launched it. Go to Applications, Manage Applications, All and select TwLauncher. Go to Storage -> Clear data. And presto! No more force close loop!! TwLauncher now sets back to default, and the only thing you need to do is to customize/add back your launcher 'desktop' again with whatever shortcuts or widgets you want or had previously. No hard reset required which save a lot of hassle! So the error is basically data corruption which caused the TwLauncher to go into force close loop.
Hope anyone who encountered the same problem as me don't have to hard reset anymore with this solution!
Damn, you just saved me.
Thanks so much, I almost did the hard reset myself!
thanks man, i thought it's some bug from my rom, by now i see it's not. u're my hero!

in my app list is no TwLauncher?! Only TwWallpaperChooser...
But I think it is translated to "Startseite" (german) - can somebody confirm this?
I have the same problem - there is no TwLauncher in "All" list - please help
thank mate. although i find it useless but still i wanted it. thank so much
damn thus thread is a little bit too late.....I experienced it about 2 week ago...the only solution was to flash back my FW because Hard Reset didnt help...btw thanx for this coz it might be usefulll for the future....
Well, glad my old thread helped some of you guys. I'm not sure why some of you can't see the default rom twlauncher, unless you are using a custom rom with another launcher.
This sounds good and would have certainly helped me on the numerous occasions when I have experienced this, caused by an application failing to find desktop space to park an icon every time.
One small thing is nagging me though. If Search is not one of the last six apps I've used it won't show up in the Recent apps drawer that appears when I hold the menu button or have I missed something?
thanks bro this is great!!!
thank u soooo much
I was facing this problem on my new Galaxy S i9003 and had pretty much made up mind to do a factory reset when I came across a link to your post on this site - androidza.co.za forum
Thank you again - you saved me from a lot of trouble.
Thank you so much!!

Thanks a ton guys from saving me the work of hard resetting my Galaxy Ace.
Note: for the people searching for tw launcher in manage applications, on the Galaxy Ace its "Sansung Home", just clear data and your Ace is all good again
Hey guys I have an issue with my Captivate that just started earlier today. I got my Captivate a few days ago and the first thing I did was root it then flash a rom (latest FireFly) on it, I also went through a few themes since then and everything was great. Today I decided to switch the battery with a third party battery I have for the samsung i9000. Once I started up the phone, it hung at the boot screen for a bit longer than normal. Once I made it onto the homescreen, it asked me to pick a launcher, I picked launcherpro and its settings was reset (my widgets, homescreens, and apps were not as I placed it). The Captivate also vibrates in bursts of 1, then 2 in a row, signaling a FC I'm assuming. ANd thats what happens, all my startup apps keep force closing (alarm clock, titanium backup, battery widget; which isn't even on the homescreen anymore, etc.) I went back to the OEM battery and still getting the same thing. I don't know what else to do at this point, the FCs at startup keeping coming, and its as if all the settings I set we rewrited (for example, no notification for weatherbug, yet it comes up at boot). TIA for any replies.

Try to clear everything in cwm, as well as dalvik and reboot your phone.

Do you have another launcher on the phone? If so, remove Launcher Pro and reinstall. See if that helps, that is if you have another launcher.
Having problems with my phone a good few months after I updated to L. After initial problems I wiped the cache after update and it made a great difference and behaved nicely.
But now it seems to have gotten very sluggish and a cache wipe makes only a very short term difference (maybe a few days to a week). It seems especially sluggish responding to Home button, with the icons for phone, SMS etc. sometimes taking up a good 10s, maybe even more, to appear.
I have 1.36GB storage free and c.283MB of RAM free currently.
Any ideas or any apps that can help diagnose?

Thanks but I'm not going to be doing that....any ideas for helping with stock?
It could be a RAM problem. If you have root try greenifying some apps, and perhaps deativate Google Now or always listening options. Try also other launcher, like Nova Launcher...

Try factory reset or reinstall stock but there is no reason to not install a custom rom which is much more better than stock

Some apps don't work with root. For example Banking apps. So there are at least 1 reason to not install a custom ROM.
Get rid of Xposed, Facebook and Facebook messenger. Use the mobile version of them.
See if there's too many apps running in background. You barelly have 1.5 GB of free space, so i assume you've plenty of apps installed. Also try to Uninstall Updates and Disable some of them under Settings > Application. You can reclaim some space and get rid of bloat.
For the last few days I'm experiencing this therrible stutter whenerver I want to acces quick options or open app drawer. On video with such low bitrate it's not that obvious, but if you watch carefully you will see. I mean this kind of hickup. App drawer does the same somewhere in the middle. I've tried to wipe cache numerous times, then full wipe using built-in recovery, but it's still happening. And other than that the phone is a beast and performs great, it's just annoying to have one of the fastest Android devices out there and being forced to look at those stutters every time I want to use quick settings or app drawer.. Anyone know what may be the case here?

Hi, I had the same issue after the 7.0 & 4.0 update, after a few days of using it. Cleared the cache and factory reset from recovery solved it. Also, I`ve reconfigured my phone from the scratch, without making any backups ( just contacts ) . Hope it helps
