I love this launcher very much but its giving me a headeg. When I used 2 times it deleted all setup and got back on default and when that hapend it also deleted some progres on app and games.
From then I used Nemus launcher and didnt have this sort of problem anymore.
Dose someone where the problem might be?

i also had go launcher but it's slow,laggy so i switched to zeam launcher and it's very fast and doesn't crashes,try it
I will try, but still hoping to make progres with Go launcher, they have very good themes that I want to use...
EDIT- strange but I cant find zeam launcher on market
Thats your choice,but zeam is faster and stabile. Find apk file on internet,but it should be on the market

Hello!
I've been using GO Launcher EX with custom ROMs (Floyo 0.20, 0.25, 0.30 and FroyoBread now) and it never did anything like that on my X8, it's "laggier" than the others, but it's okay.
Did you get it from the real android market? You said that you like their themes... maybe it's, somehow, related to theme you've downloaded and installed?
See you, and good luck with it!
Personally I love GO Launcher, and have never had any problems with it at all. Barely any lag either, but I will investigate Zeam.
There will be a bunch of files (cache, settings, etc.) created on the SD card from GO. You could uninstall it, clear these out, reboot your phone and then reinstall it.
Might solve your problem? Find it does for other apps (as it forces it to gather new data)
P.S. You could have a look on the dev site for help, or even raise a bug: http://golauncher.goforandroid.com/
@Striderzin yes i have download from real android market but not themes in that period of time when i head this problem. I will try once more and0 see what will hapen.
@SirMikey hmm i didnt notice that launcher makes its own folders on sd card thx i will delete them.
I am using unrooted 2.1 zeam launcher works only 2.2 and above -.-
when i installed Go LauncherEX, I stopped receiving SMS on my Stock 2.1 ROM, i don't know if it was GL EX or if it was coincidence.
But i don't like the Go LauncherEX, just try LauncherPRO, use only one homescreen, disable the homescreen caching, use only one dock page, do not use a lot of widgets, and with this, LauncherPRO will only use about 7MB of RAM, and it will be very smooth too.

Lately I've LP has been freezing on me in a few moments after boot, basically after media scanning is done my UI is frozen and I need to bring up task manager to close out LP and exit out of task manager and it runs fine again, anyone know whats causing this?
it happens i think. i remember just installing chompsms and it's been happening since. switched to handcent and the problem's not there anymore.
maybe some application is causing it on your end?
I have the same problem! No matter what I do, Launcher Pro freezes after booting up, I have to close & re-open!
I had the same problem no matter what setup I used on my phone, even did it straight after a clean factory reset. Gave up with it in the end and am using Zeam Launcher now, very quick and responsive although I do miss the LP widgets
Found a fix, its caused by the .andriod secure folder on the EXTERNAL SD.. delete all the contents from there and mark the folder as READ ONLY and reinstall your apps that were there w/o the EXTERNAL SD card to guarantee they dont come back.
100% fixed on my end!

I dont even use app 2 sd in the first place.
I still have thouse hangs at bootup, sometimes goes fine, sometimes it is needed to be closed. I had this folder on my external sd, the folder is empty. Read and Write flags are off
Any other suggestion?
I have same problem... +1
it looks like its an actual error with the app itself, i have had this problem lots of times, i did a full wipe and only installed launcher pro, nothing else, the only 1 app i had on the phone was launcher pro and it still froze.
i just went to ADW launcher, i like it alot and you can resize widgets and stuff, very customisable..
2nd favourite is zeam, would be my number one but i couldnt figure out how to save the settings... theres a wide range of other launchers why not try something else ??
my LP does that as well on my vibrant. it really isn't that big of a deal, unless you repeatedly reboot your phone...
just wait a little while after your phone boots and just let everything load up
Yes, we can try another launcher, but launcherpro is best for me, because I want grid 5x6 icons. Go launcher is great as well, but there is max 5x5 :/
Basically i try to make ADW Launcher EX my default home screen but it does not remember it as such. I have to constantly choose which home screen I want when i hit home. sometimes it will remember to use ADW EX, but if I restart the phone any memory it once had as the default homescreen is toast and I have to start from scratch.
any ideas?

CM7 rc1
but i also had this problem with CM6.1
Do you have it installed on the SD?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
nah, its saved on the phones internal memory
Hmmmmm... Have you tried wiping data from both launchers?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I can try it again, but everything was wiped when i installed cm7 anyways. I thought for sure that cm7 would fix the issue because it happened in 6.1 as well.
I think it might have to do with widget locker and its home helper though.
I know I'm making the most basic suggestions, but since you didn't give much info on what you've tried, it only makes sense to start with the basics...
The reason I suggested wiping data from the apps is because, even through you may have wiped during your install, you may also have restored data via Titanium?
Again, with nothing to go off, I'm making basic, easy, and obvious suggestions first...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
You could always freeze or delete any home screen apps that are taking priority over ADW Ex. Also, if you're using WidgetLocker and you're rooted, you'd be better off disabling HomeHelper and enabling root bypass for the 5 second rule.
Zero problems here, it acts just like any other Home app does, it honors the home launcher defaults.
What you say and what you describe are totally different. You say ADW EX isn't the default but then you say you have to 'start from scratch'. So are you saying that ADW EX is loaded but its settings are reset, or that ADW EX isn't the default?
I use it on my Nexus One (rom in sig) and my Nook Color, zero problems on either.
Double-check that ADW EX isn't installed to sdcard. Titanium and others can in certain situations automatically put all your apps on SD without you knowing. Also, if Widget Locker is on your SD, the home helper function could be causing that. So, is ADW your system default, or is it Widget Locker, with ADW selected within WL?
I can't seem to install adwlauncher... it doesn't seem to be findable in the market and when I use a direct link to it, it pulls of up in the market, but when I try and install it, it says that it isn't for my device.

Anderwebs(the primary developer of ADW) has yet to release an updated ADW for tablets. He is working on one, but has not put any information forward as to a date for release.

if you have another android device, download it from the market.
using root explorer, go into the /data/app folder and find the ADW EX app... long press and click share... you should now be able to gmail it or dropbox it....
I use it on the xoom, I like it much better than launcher pro but it force closes a lot.
Yeah I side loaded it from dropbox it seems to run ok but if you use the 4D app drawer is lags at times
Anyone figure out how to get the wallpapers to align correctly or noticing that they arent aligned correctly versus stock launcher?

x2. i'm running adw launcher ex on the xoom and the app drawer some times freezes and doesn't load at all. for now, i'll be sticking with stock honeycomb or launcher pro (choose the keep-in-memory option to prevent force closures)
Yeah I LOVE adw launcher ex but the app drawer in 4D lags like it is cool other than that it works great. Hope the dev fixes
Historically, before a wipe I run a TB batch and backup all my user apps. Then after I put on the new rom, I drop on the full version TB and do a batch reinstall. Unfortunately this doesn't reset my screens, and it's a pain in the butt.
I'm wondering two things:
1. I saw this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965594 and I wondered if this works on Gingerbread roms (no reason it shouldn't, right? but I can see going from Froyo to GB it may not...) (Also, I don't see a way for TB to restore home screens, am I missing something?)
2. I've cheated before and dropped some non-provided system apps directly into the system-app folder. If you drop your favorite app .apk's into the system-app folder within the rom zip, will it install them even though that's the protected folder?
Really, it's just time consuming to reinstall all the apps and reset the home screens, especially when Mix Master Mikey drops a new GR version approximately every time I get the last one updated.
Updating home screens is a pet peeve of mine too.
I have been using SGS tools going from each release of GR to the next. But, it only works with touchwiz.
Now I'm on Mosaic (seems more stable but TW 3 instead of 4) it mostly worked, except Widgets.
This is the reason I don't even use 3 screens .... too much a pain to reset every few days.
I wish there was a better universal solution to this problem.
Sent from my Captivate running Mosiac I
I think it depends on your launcher. I'm currently using regina launcher and after updating to the newest GR and using TiBu to restore my apps, my home screens are set except for the widgets.

I use launcher pro and my apps are all in place when I restore that. I believe also if you go to restore apps and system data deselect everything then press data only then select the green items one of those will put ur apps back in place. That is what I do.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
All right. I've been toying with launchers for a while, right now I'm on Zeam, I've used launcher pro and ADW in the past. ADW had the ability to restore screens, I suppose I should look more into that. I like how Zeam lets you put 0-7 icons in the dock and lets you auto-center them, but I suppose I can find a good alternative.
Right now I double-tap to get my dialer, swipe up for apps and down for notifications and it seems to work pretty well. I'll get my fiddle on this next week.
Thanks again.
I have a rooted Streak 7 (16gb) with a 16gb SD card & it seems much much slower lately. What things can I delete or uninstall to help it?
I heard somewhere that uninstalling Dell Launcher speeds things up. ....can this be done without messing up system?
Also, I try out & uninstall apps constantly. ......does that fill up system with leftovers? Where are they?
Oh and "market" app loads EXTREMELY slow. ....sometimes wont load at all. ...ever since they changed Market design/format. Is that fixable?
Thanks in advance
At least on 2.2.x StageUI 1.5 is rather slow, but remember to install another launcher before removeing the StageUI launcher. StageUI 1.7 is completely different.
If you uninstall an app, from either the market uninstall button or the setting one it removes all config files immediately.
If you manually delete an apk it will remove config files on reboot.
There's an app called SD maid that I personally love that gets rid of all cache files and leftovers from apps (if there are any)
There are several apps that try to boost your SD cards access times... you can try those... can't hurt...
I also use AutoRun Manager to make sure apps I rarely use don't start up at boot
And yeah... the Dell Stage pretty much sucks... my preference is GO Launcher
so if I install something like "Go Launcher" then I can uninstall Dell launcher? My system came with 2.2.2.
actually I have "circle launcher" installed,,,,can that work?
thanks so much!

Definitely, I would RECOMMEND doing away completely with the DEL Stage and then run any launcher you prefer, I was just stating that I use (well use to use) GO Launcher (I'm running GingerStreak 2.3 and have gotten attached to VTL Launcher somewhat) but I loved the features of GO Launcher....
OR you can install one of the custom ROMs that have been tweaked a little bit for performance
I'm not really gonna try to recommend one because I have no idea what your level of expertise is with Android is or how much you like to tinker with your device, but there are some very nice options that will certainly make you smile
it says go launcher is incompatable with my streak 7 :-(
I love messing with my gadgets & appreciate any advice u give! Thanx bunches
ok it seems like most launchers are incompatible. ....why?

I know it's incompatible with DJs HoneyStreak, but you shouldn't get an incompatibility message with it on Froyo... least ways I didn't
Ok I got. GO Launcher apk from the company website & that worked. I wonder why market wouldn't. ....hmmm. ...
I was trying Launcher Pro too but its 3.49 to use extra customization features & Go Launcher is free.
Removed Dell Stage. ....even market runs better!
Anyway, thanx again. ..any other good speed up tips? I installed a Rom manager also :.)

You can uninstall the ROM Manager, none of them work with either of the Streaks.
I use AutoRun Manager to keep apps from starting up that I don't use often, and I also use AutoKiller Memory Optimizer to help manage my memory...
