Hey guys, a few days ago, I updated from Cyanogen5.07 T5 to 5.07 DS. After updating, I noticed more than a few of my apps weren't showing up under Settings>Applications. Weird, I know.
So to fix this, I wiped, reflashed. While re-installing the apps I had on my phone, I tried to download a very particular app: Flipclock medium. After various searches through market for "Flipclock", "clock", "flip", and "medium", I still could not find the app.
I tried a variation of the app, retro flip clock widget, but the clock freezes constantly and stops moving. I would have to remove the widget and replace it again. Obviously this isn't a viable solution.
Additional notes:
I have tried Weather Widgets Donate and Weather Widgets (yr.no). Neither one will keep from freezing. I also know about the 4x2 flipclock widgets that have shown up on market but I do not like the look of these and do not wish to bother trying them.
In conclusion:
Does anyone know if this clock freezing is an issue with CM 5.07 DS?
Does anyone know if it's just me that can't see flipclock medium on market?
Does anyone have an existing APK of flipclock medium (it's a free app)?
Please answer asap, thank you.
Anyone? Really looking for help on this..
Also tried Beautiful Widgets which worked for a while but for no reason, started to freeze for me again. Also generated a lot of lag after a while, as well as showing a force close notification even when there were no Beautiful widgets present on screens.
Problem. Weird new issue. Seems now when I install new apps or delete them. They don't change in drawer on Adw. This is true until a reboot. However they do in the stock launcher. This seems to be the reverse behavior from prvious. Anyone have idea why it might have switched and how to fix? Only thing I can think of I installed a new keyboard.
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 currently using The Samsung oneui beta 2.0 (android 10). Now even before that it was crashing frequently...but now it crashes at least like three times a day. I am on the verge of using oneui but whenever I switch back, I remember why I hate it. I want vertical scrolling in my app drawer that is always sorted by alphabetical. I want google now but honestly the app drawer thing is more pressing.
So, any suggestions for troubleshooting Nova? I've already cleared the cache and reinstalled the app twice. Any suggestions for other launchers that are more stable? Anyone know ways to make oneui better?
