I just updated to Gingerbread. I used ADW and LauncherPro without issues on FRG83, however, in GRI40. It gets knocked out of memory (I think) everytime I open an app. So when I click home and choose one or the other, it has to always redraw the screen and the app drawer, taking atleast 2 to 5 seconds. I have used the same settings I did on FRG83 (system persistant, prevent FCs) and it has not helped.
Can anyone provide some suggestions?
Try to reset adw...
Or do you have the adw's keep in memory setting on?
I'm using adw too, and updated to gingerbread also without any problems.

I'm using Launcher Pro and haven't had any issues with it on GRI40 so far.
Yes I have the keep in memory setting for both those apps checked.
I have tried several launchers, SPB 3D, Rigina 3D, Go, and all have giving issue with turning off the screen when I touch our and some times not. M gt screen time out is set to 2 mins. So that's not it. Anybody else having this issue? I issue seems to go away after returning back to stock launcher.

All I've used so far is the stock launcher but I"m getting fed up with it and thinking of trying something else. I'm kind of leaning toward Go but sounds like you've had issues with it.
The stock launcher has been shutting off on me for no reason at random times.

Ok this is what I have observed as well. I didn't observe this on stock, but noticed it on ADW, GO, SBC 3D, And Regina 3D. Sounds like a bug that not many are talking about yet.

A bit anoying. I am trying to use stock ROM too and I am having issues with shutting off screen add well. Very difficult to touch left side center of screen without the screen shutting down. I've done system restore as well, with no luck.hard to believe Moto missed this.
Seems if you touch screen longer than a second on left side, screen shuts of as well. Sometimes even without touching within seconds of a screen opening.

I'm using Go and I personally haven't seen this issue.
However, are you absolutely sure you're not accidentally covering the light sensor between the earpiece and the front camera? If you cover that, AND have the in-pocket detection set to "yes", you'll accidentally trigger the screen-off.
Of course that doesn't make sense if it's only happening on custom homescreens, and not stock. But I figure I should throw it out there just in case. In-pocket detection is the last option in Menu > Settings > Display.

it's happening to me on the stock launcher. I just saw that setting is turned on. I'll turn it off and see if that fixes it.
Thanks,
Well I know im not covering the light senser because I hold the botom with my left and tap with my right. I did tutn of pocket senser I will see what happens now.
And it was happening on stock.

screen issue
I noticed this happening on stock even with a different launcher layered over. As long as the original stock launcher is there/installed it happens.
I know this is not for everyone, but I have GO Launcher EX installed (which is my preferred launcher, everyone has there own) and after rooting I uninstalled the stock launcher.
I did this on my Droid 2 and noticed not only significant battery increase (as for some reason both launchers were running layered) but also no issues with the screen shutting off on its own as with the stock launcher.
If anyone wishes to also try this, do so at your own risk, but it is a suggestion that I have personally used and it has helped my phone.

I wanted to try freezing the stock launcher with Titanium Backup... what's the app/process called?

It is "launcher.apk" I believe on most phones.

that's weird because when I deleted it off my phone I found it as launcher.apk . is it possible that there are different apks for the launcher with the same phone?

I use launcher pro plus and have had no issues with it shutting off on its own. However, I have had problems unlocking my phone. Might be the screen protector, but when i drag my finger over the screen for the unlock pattern it thinks i lift it up halfway through the pattern and causes me to fail at unlocking. this is highly annoying, but i need lock on my phone. might move to a pin instead. All in all though, Launcher Pro is working like a charm. I use to use ADW Ex, but I wanted to try something new.
I was using launcher pro (free edition) and had similar problems. Mostly whenever my screen timed out and I would open it back up. Annoying enough to uninstall and go back to stock
I've been using Apex launcher forever now, and I've never had any problem like that. I have also tried out all the launchers you mentioned. And I always go back to Apex Pro. :good:
Few days back I opted to change the look & feel of my Galaxy Note so decided to install Go Launcher Ex.It was initially on but started lagging on home screens.Yesterday I uninstalled it and went for the default one.Today I thought of giving other launchers a try so went for ADW & LauncherPro but none seem to work or start even though they show as installed app.
what do you mean they arent working?
have you unset the default in applications?
I mean just nothing happens after installing the launchers...neither any shortcut or any change to the gui...
You need to run the launcher then press the home button and select the specified launcher as default.
Go to manage apps & clear defaults of your last used launcher

I have disabled Facebook home and uninstalled it. I have the Android default home and ADW Launcher. Every boot it asks me which launcher to go to. Each time I select ADW Launcher and then press Always. But every boot the defaults seem to be reset. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the First or with Jellybean.

Do you have S-Off? The only reason I can think of that would cause it to do so is if you don't have S-Off. When you uninstall Facebook Home, it will reinstall itself as the default home upon rebooting the device because of S-On. So if you don't have nor want S-Off, I'd recommend simply turning off Facebook Home in the Home Settings rather than uninstalling it.

Is anyone experiencing an issue where the default home launcher reverts to One Ui for no reason?
Also google discover being inconsistent in third party launchers?

Yep. Mine would even switch back after setting my default launcher to my custom one... But with that said, I also had so many other problems with every custom launcher that I had tried....so I just stuck with the stock, OneUI launcher (and I love Google News, so that's a good thing for me lol).

Ahh, gotcha. But wait, doesn't just about every launcher scroll sideways between pages and then allow you to swipe up to view all apps?

Yea but they all either a) keep reverting to One UI for no reason, or the discover page stops working until you restart the phone
