Hey guys n gals
Lil problem...I've tried everything but no luck. No matter what setting i do i only get 3 homescreens. I come to the community to see if anyone has experienced this before.
Thanks

I'm assuming you went into preferences>homescreen>number of screens and changed that and restarted launcherpro or rebooted the phone?? If that doesn't work, try uninstalling launcherpro and reinstalling it.
Yea man done that....installed diff ver. Free i bought pro and nothing.....this is retarded

Well that's whack. You contact the dev yet?
And what rom/kernel setup are you running. I dunno if it makes a difference, but somebody might know of a bug that's holding LP to a 3 screen limit.
I have never heard of this but from your sig it looks like you are running a jpy base. If you cannot correct try adw launcher

sorry
The easiest thing to do is just reinstall your ROM. Whichever one you choose, and if it happens again change roms to another dev.
I have had really weird things happen on a crappy flash. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. It really should only take you a day worth of playing with your phone to get it set up the way you want.
Hey OP, did you find a fix for this?
Cuz I did lol. Well it worked for me anyway.
Try reflashing your ROM and kernel and all that happy jazz.
I'm running perception 8 with setiron's kernel. I was just dicking around last night and started swapping kernels and unzipping rom's and reflashing and I ended up with your scenario. LP wouldn't work correctly, 3 homescreens, settings reset after a reboot, background went to stock, blah blah blah. I fixed it just by swapping kernels after a fresh flash to perception.
Was using the Cog kernel that was packaged with it, then went to firebird and that's where things got funky. So I reflashed perception, swapped Cog kernel out for setiron, and everything is working fine now.
Not promising that it will work for you and I'm not gonna be held responsible for anything that happens to your phone. This is just merely a suggestion if you haven't found a fix yet.
Try ADW launcher. I love it, and it also has a notifier that works with your email, sms, and missed calls. There are themes you can use, too.
I have the same damn problem...i have gone back to v0.8.2 and i'm still stuck on 3
home screens.
i had this issue too where it wouldnt change save any setting changes.
i had to re-flash. thank god for titanium backup
if you need "launcher pro plus" or "titanium backup pro" look in my magic folder link below.

I have a Captivate for my wife for Christmas. She is not electronically deficient, but is not the type that is going to want to keep tweaking and changing ROMs. I do stuff like this all the time, for myself and for her, but just do not have the time to learn it all on this particular platform. I am hoping just to get a push in the right direction, not necessarily newb handholding.
So, are there any good recommendations for a "one-time good-enough tons-better-than-stock" ROM that I can get on this phone and have her be happy with it? Thanks!
Tough one
Cognition had some stable 2.1 roms that are nice.
also has 2.2 roms
Axura is great 2.2 but you will have to use google voice for voice mail notifications to work.
For casual user, avoid roms with over click kernels, just my opinion

I would have to say Cognition it's pretty rock solid.
I'd wait till' they officialy release froyo for cappy and people start making roms with it. At least it's what I'm gonna do since most 2.2 roms have problems.

I would disagree that most 2.2 roms have problems. Some do require more knowledge of what you are doing though

Thanks. Cognition looked like the best option. I looked through that and Perception, and it seemed like they were both good...but there seems like there is always some underlying little issue. Stuff like having to work around getting voicemail, or a wired headset not working like it should.
I think I will just run with the latest Cognition, and if she finds something squirrely it can go back to stock until 2.2 is released. Any recommendations for working with Cognition?
Read up on the lag fix. I believe it uses voodoo. To disable create a folder in the voodoo folder on the sd named disable-lagfix reboot
If you look to apply themes make sure you disable first. To enable delete folder, reboot

Voodoo changes the filing system on the phone from rfs.to ext 4. The utility you use to flash themes, clockwork recovery does not always play nice with ext 4. It is safest to disable the lagfix to apply changes like themes then once applied turn it back on

Well this guy is really good at making a rom. im downloading his 1.3 version (should be equal too, if not better), but the 1.2, FREAKING AWESOME! Its my go to rom when i have issues with other roms. Definitely easy to use. only problem was one app was funky, but its the apps fault, others complained about it (on the games website). has the muli touch keyboard and has some great lagfix options. can even overclock IF you really need too. Well hope this helped, if not, best of luck and Merry Christmas!
Bumping up my own ancient thread. My wife has been happily running her Captivate with Cognition for over a year and a half now. It is starting to get a bit long-in-the-tooth and glitchy. With all of the changes over this time, I certainly would like to update it. For daily, average use it looks like CM9 is a safe bet. Are there any JB roms that are worth it and stable? Is there much to be gained from JB over ICS?
Also, I have never had to restore before. I have done some searching and some googling, but nothing seems too clear to me. What all do I need to do to save everything (contacts, calls, messages, applications, app data, pictures, etc.) so that it can be seamlessly transitioned to a new ROM?

I figure I will try one more post in hopes of some help, otherwise I will gladly take the hint and really dig deep into it.
In my opinion CM10 is a great improvement! The current installs all seem to factory reset, so you loose all your apps.
If you stick with CM9 you can flash right over top of what's there. Of course wiping the dalvik and flashing gapps too.

ROM Toolbox: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolboxpro&feature=search_result
Just wondering if any fellow Bionic owners have given ROM Toolbox a try? Is it worth the $5?
All the reviews are looking good, but haven't heard anything from Bionic owners...
It is good if your using liberty rom. Idk how it works with stock rooted or theorys rom. I used this toolbox to change my boot animation and download roms.There's also an option to download Theory's Roms but nothing pops up when chosen. The app also has built in root browser and performance tweaks to cpu and sd card. All in all I think it is worth $5.

Using it right now on Eclipse, only really use it to change fonts after moving from Liberty. The free version is enough though, the pro version is more for donating than anything else.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
It works great. Its built for the Liberty ROM.
i love it with all roms. you can get rid of a couple of app and just use this one. the root browser is nice. you can create and restore nandroids back up all apps freeze apps to plus lots moe. boot animation is nice cause i like to change mine alot
I checked it out and it does what it says it does.
The good thing is that it can do all of this stuff from a central location which is really nice.
The bad is that it's $5 bucks.... though I can't say that I don't spend more than that on lunch a few days a week.
i ended up picking it up... works great on liberty so far.
I did however bootloop my bionic changing my battery icon with the Shift3r Rom. Everything worked fine at first. Then for what ever reason I restarted my phone and it went into a bootloop.
This also works completely fine on stock ROMs, fyi...
I enjoy it.

did you replace it with the same percentage icon that you already had? if you change to a different percentage like going from a 1% to a 10% incraments it will cause problems
That's the question. I only know enough to copy the app from /system/apps and look for any associated files next to it in the list such as .odex. That didn't work for Swype and Polaris Office (pre-installed) or Tapatalk HD (downloaded with Samsung Apps). The last two are more important to me as I don't want to pay for them again. I can live with Android keyboard.
BTW, Swype installer will put Swype on the tablet, but I get constant dialogs telling me to contact Swype because it's not right for my screen resulotion.
If I can get them to work, I'd gladly spend some time testing the ICS ROMs out there.
Tks in advance.

did you try Titanium backup? Works for me.
Tks. I didn't think of that I'll give it a whirl.
i tried porting over the Tapatalk HD app that comes with samsungapps but was greeted with lots of FCs. i then tried the samsungapps so as to install Tapatalk natively on ics but it didn't even start.
honeycomb and ics are two different OS and i dont think its advised porting over apps. so far it never really worked out for me.
but go ahead and try it and let us know if it worked

I'd really be interested to know what apps you were able to migrate. I nandroided back to stock TW (is that a verb?) and installed Titanium Backup. What a headache! Then I backed up Swype, Tapatalk, Solaris Office and one user installed app (Logos). Back into Galaxian Soup ICS, only Logos worked. Swype crashed every 10 seconds until I uninstalled it. Solaris made it through the install wizard and crashed. Tapatalk showed promise after deleting all user data and cache and would actually show forums and threads, but crashed consistently whenever I tried loging in.

Yeah, I think that's the point, though I expected Tapatalk to work better, being a user-installed app.

not a solution for your other problems but there is a swype beta that runs fine on ICS!
beta.swype.com
just register and get it! it has more features and works better than swype that comes with the tab!
Check out my earlier post. I tried that and got constant dialogues telling me that my version of Swype was not right for my screen resolution and to contact Swype to fix it even though it was a fresh download/install. I noticed that the OEM install has addition graphics beside the keyboard, apparently to solve that problem.

One more thing. Why XDA App, based on Tapatalk, works fine in ICS but Tapatalk itself doesn't I have no idea.

Hi,
I'm fairly new to ICS ROMS and having tried THS ROM and now AOKP, I think that AOKP is much faster and smoother but i have 1 issue with the stock browser(same with other browsers but i prefer stock).
I use a very popular messaging board, similar set up to this in Ireland and would look in a lot of different threads frequently. When using ANY other stock browser on any other ROM it saved the position in the thread so that when you go back to the thread it picks up from where you last were. For some reason this isn't happening on this ROM and i don't know how to go about fixing it. Re-flashing made no difference.
Otherwise a brilliant ROM and 1 i really want to stay on.
Any advice appreciated.
I've been using the Chrome Beta and it's been wonderful.
Not a direct solution, of course, but might solve your issue.
Yeah, hearing good things about chrome. I'll try it tonight as it isn't showing in the market(don't know what google are playing at restricting it's release). I'll get the apk elsewhere.
I'm pretty sure it won't solve my problem but no harm trying.
Hum, from my newbie point of view, that doesn't seem to be a ROM-related problem, but something about browser's cache or cookies... have you had a look to some of its config?
BTW, I didn't hear about Chrome, I'll try it too!
Chrome is force closes on AOKP for me
But i tried it an some other ics rom and its great !!

Thanks for the suggestions lads, much appreciated.
I tried chrome last night, no force closes, doesn't really offer me anything that stock browser doesn't do and sadly doesn't help my issue.
I'll try that browser version tonight trailblazer.
hadkeren, thanks for your suggestion and forgive my ignorance but i don't see the option to clear data in all apps in one go. To do so individually would be painful
It's good to know(i think) that this isn't an issue with everyone(or anyone else) on this ROM but i just find it weird that i didn't have this issue on THS Rom or any gingerbread or froyo rom.
Another issue i have with ICS is no notification vibration but i've given up on that one
I mean clear your data for the browser
It is in:
settings - apps - all

Sorry, i'll put that down to a combination of a loss of oxygen to the brain and work.
It made no difference, cleared cache,history and cookies earlier and cleared data just there
I'll try 4.0.4 browser tonight but i don't hold out much hope. I'll probably try another flash. I won't let this beat me.

Tried this(had to remove link) and yes very fast and smooth but didn't sort my issue. Flashed up to 2.1 beta in the hope it might sort it. NO!
If it wasn't such a great ROM i'd have switched a while ago as this seems like such a trivial issue that should be solved easily
I suppose i could learn to live with it(but i doubt it).
Next stop ICS Slim but i would love a solution before i take such drastic action.
Thanks All.

I just switched back to Hanger's ROM from CM9 and I must say, even though it doesn't get as high of benchmarks, it feels a whole lot snappier and there seems to be 0 lag in his ROM. Very pleased and will probably use it as a daily driver now. Thanks a bunch for your hard work. Hope everything in your family is OK now.

I've learned after years of computer use and building and repairing them that benchmarks don't always mean anything. Benchmarks rarely test the average performance that a user will experience.

Did you make sure and do a full wipe first? You didn't by chance restore data with TBU did you?
I've been running this ROM for weeks and I don't have either bug on my install.

Love the ROM but have some lag...
I'm having lag to the point of frozen. I've had to pull the battery about 4 times in the last 3 days. It's not related to USB issues since I'm not plugged in when it happens. The apps (not any in particular) seem to overload the phone's ability to process. If I'm lucking it reboots - otherwise it's a battery pull.
I did restore data using TBU and I'm using the "lazy" kernel configuration.
Other than that I really love this ROM. Seriously. It has every buzzer and whistle I could hope for and they all work.

Yeah when i was testing for Hanger and i ran in to similar probs in the alpha builds don't restore data via tbu. the problems for me went away when i didn't. Also double check your cwm version, make sure it's the newest for the inc.
