I've been using CM7 on my Milestone from the first RC3 build and otherwise it seems to be working pretty well, but there's some issues with widgets on ADW Launcher and LauncherPro. I'm using Fancy Widget and for some reason neither is updating correctly. It updates every now and then for no apparent reason, but most of the time, the clock is stuck in the same time for hours.
Same issues with other widgets as well, such as Pure Calendar
Anyone else having the same issues and any suggestions for fixing it?

Running 4.1.999 and this app runs fine, but add a theme that has advanced launcher and stericson's lock screen and it fc's.
Seattle BusFinder-Lite
com.sysfore.simplemap force close
not sure what does it, but theme's without the two above it runs fine. haven't looked for a theme with one and not the other. any thoughts?
the lockscreen was not made for 4.1.999 that is probably where it is coming into play, since there are a few odd bugs with using the lockscreen on 4.1.999 like the gallery not auto rotating and random letters when using the scroll handle like in contacts and music. it is probably causing the problems there too.
don't know about the advanced launcher since i do not use it.
Hi,
My wife got a Milestone some weeks ago and we've noticed that the clock widget keeps getting late (the system clock is always perfectly in time) if the phone is inactive for some time or if it's been used a lot. I've installed another clock widget and the same thing keeps happening. I've tried both widgets on my Samsung Vibrant and this doesn't happen. Did this happen to anyone else?
thanks
Rafa

Fancy Widget
There another clock and weather widget called Fancy Widget on the Android Market. I've used that widget on my Motorola Milestone and it works fine.
We've tried 2 clock widgets already and both had the same trouble.
We've just realized that all clock related apps are progressively getting late. The phones' stock clock is always on time, but all other apps are late. Any thoughts on where the issue is?
We´ve tested without the task killer and the issue persists. I was starting to think this could cpu related, but I think that´s impossible, otherwise there would be thousands of Milestone users complaining about this.

This doesnt happen to me...
I have used several clock widgets from the market and various roms.
How much is the time drift?

The time drift is gradual. It starts with 1 minute and if it can go up to 10...but then if you lock the phone and then unlock it the system updates the time to the correct time.
After having severe battery problems with gingerbread based ROMs I tried out Fasty 1.5, which was ok except for several process force closes. So I upgraded to 1.7 which solved most of those, but now I've got a problem with touchwiz. When I boot up TW force closes, then it loads up and I can run things. But if the phone goes to sleep, when I unlock it I get a black screen. The status screen works and I can launch things with that (like gmail) but TW never comes back and I'm forced to reboot.
The Sony/Ericsson launcher works OK, and so does the unpaid Launcher Pro I have.
Anyone else have this problem? Are there any other launchers that work well with Fasty?
Could always try to use an upgraded tw launcher from sgs tools. Itd be under upgrade stock apps
Sweet, thanks!
ETA: Yup, that did it! I installed another TW launcher (CrushD) and it's solid.
I'm on 902 and running Eclipse 2.2, and before every rom install, I reset to factory, wipe cache, format system and wipe dalvik.
I've reinstalled a couple times and have not gotten rid of this problem. Sometimes, upon unlocking the phone, the "eclipse launcher" crashes. And if it doesn't completely crash, the phone behaves very slow and does some really strange things... until the launcher eventually crashes... I contacted the developer with a logcat I created and he confirmed the launcher was crashing. He suggested I install a third party launcher to see if it fixes the problem. I installed ADW launcher EX. Well it fixed the problem, but my battery life has taken a bit of hit. I'd prefer to run the stock launcher, but not sure what else to try. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
Well uninstalled ADW Launcher EX. Battery life is back to normal. Eclipse launcher still crashing after pattern security unlock. Not always, but every 3 or 4 unlocks, usually after charging my phone overnight.
I too am/was having the force close, and the super slow screen transition. I think its an issue with the eclipse launcher itself for bionic, because a friend of mine does not have this issue with eclipse on his Razr.
I have found a small file size home launcher called Nemus launcher. Very very snappy, great options, so far, problem free while on eclipse, give it a try!

Finally someone else with the same issue! Glad I am not alone. I will try out this nemus launcher. Thanks for the suggestion!
Solved the Eclipse launcher crash problem. The default launcher for Eclipse has been conflicting with Beautiful Widget's Home Widget. I have been running the default launcher with no Home Widget for 5 days, no crashes. Although the Home Widget used to work with no conflicts, I assume that after I changed the weather refresh variable to refresh upon "phone wake", that the problem started happening. (I never associated this at the time). I have not tested the Home Widget with a different refresh variable yet. But for now am happy that I am running the default launcher and have exceptional battery life again!
Both third party launchers I tried fixed the above crash problem (while running home widget), but drained more battery. Glad to be back to default.
Edit: This ended up not fixing the problem. Spoke too soon...

I use beautiful widgets too, but dont have it set on wake. Still not using eclipse launcher though, the Nemus launcher has been perfect as far as performance, customization and battery usage. no complaints here..
Glad you figured out the issue though!
Yea so I jinxed myself. Launcher crashed this morning. I'll try a few other things, will report back if I can get a week of stability I guess.
I'm noticing my widgets disappearing after a reboot. It's there a fix?

I started to have that problem on 2.0.6 on HD with another launcher. I found it selective which Widgets did not load. Updating to the latest version of the widget sometimes helped.

Fwiw go launcher hd doesn't have a problem.
Ohhh ... better use then Nova Launcher. Smooth, fast, stable and tons of options (for beginner and advanced).
Hope i end tweaked, modified and optimized theme, based on Nova Launcher and Ultimate custom widget (UCCW). I like Nook simplicity and conciseness. Also i try then inverted version. These are my plans. This alpha i post here too, maybe someone want it.
