Hello! I am not sure if i'm posting in the correct section but this is the only one for samsung galaxy mini 2, so i do.
I am facing a problem with my device. I go to menu, edit the icons, move them around as i would like them to be, then click save.
I go to home screen, then enter the menu, everything is fine, the icons are still the way i left them.
BUT when i turn of the phone and turn it on afterwards the icons have lost their arrangement i made to them.
Anyone else has the same problem?
I would really appreciate the help, cause I bought the phone like 9 days ago, on the 2nd day i gave it to vodafone (where i bought it from) for service, the description of the problem was very accurate, but today i got it back, the service description said "upgraded, the problem is over" but the problem still remains...
Thank you in advance!

1. get the faster microsd, or
2. install all your apps into phone or
3. get a 3rd party launcher, e.g go launcher

I have the G.O.T 2.2.1 installed and CM6 mod on my Milestone. I have removed ADW Launcher and installed Launcher Pro Plus as default home.
Many times when I'm inside an application and hit the Home button in order to get onto the Home default screen...the icons and widgets are not there and it takes 10-15 second for them to appear...It's kinda frustrating and I have to say that I was using the same Settings under the 2.1update1 stock and the launcher worked without these issue...
Does anyone know how to fix this?Thanks!

If you'd search for "lag" "launcher" in Motorola Milestone forums, you would have found this:
If you use ADW or LauncherPro and if after using your browser, email or any other apps for awhile, then if you press the 'HOME' button, if it takes forever to redraw your home screen, and you are sick of that HORRIBLE LAG, then try this: In a terminal,
type su and enter.
Then type echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 >> /data/local.prop and enter.
Then reboot.
Now evaluate whether or not this fixes your lag.
If you want to undo what this command does, simply remove that toggle from: /data/ local.prop

I have also tried every fix I could: Disabling Window Animations, the ro.HOME_APP_ADJ hack, low memory profiles for LauncherPro, but it ultimately boils down to the fact that the Milestone/Droid's RAM is the issue, as I've actually had this very same issue affect ADW launcher as well, and I'm sure it would creep up on other Homescreen replacements too
GOT 2.2.1 might make the issue worse because they might have baked in some things that take up a lot of memory, and when android reaches a point where it needs to kill stuff, it forces the widgets out of memory.
There's apparently a complete re-write of LauncherPro coming in the next few months, but even then I'm not sure it will be much help.

L.E.
Fixed: For those that are having this issue... Just disable "Keep in memory" from Launcher PRO "General Settings" and it will work just fine

Yes...As you can see I have deleted my "Later Edit" because after a reboot...the problem came back...
I'm having the same issue with watching live stream in the browser and some flash contents...It plays for a while...then it closes the browser...
I guess these things will be fixed when the final version of FROYO for our Milestone will be released...
Until then...maybe somebody is wise enough to help us! Thanks!

try enabling in adw settings>system preferences>system persistent. If you enable this Android will take some another witness for his killing process.
Hi There
I hope you can help/tell me what the problem is and i hope i am at the right place...
I made an update to Froyo on my german unbranded i9000. I made lagfix.
now i deinstalled ADW Launcher, because i thought it drains my battery... but now i recognized, that the twlauncher starts really often and causes 100% processor.
Does anybody have such a problem?! I dont want to reflash it... :|

I recommend performing a factory reset on the device and this should hopefully help the situation.
If anyone else can assist please do so...
I think what you can is as you are having a rooted phone, install launcher pro from market, pay if you like extra features via paypal.
You will not be able to see it in apps.
When you click home button you will be asked about default launcher pro or tw launcher.
Use launcher pro and go to settings>application>manage applications and see Twlauncher running, stop if problems.
I keep on changing launchers on my N1, recently found Go Launcher Ex and installed it. It's impressing me except one weird problem that whenever I select Settings>Preferences it' shows the preference screen for about half a second and disappears and I am back to home screen. Means I can't change any launcher settings.
I googled a lot but can't see anyone else having any such issue. Please help.
Thanks.

Hi,
Yes... i had the same problem, so i uninstalled the launcher again. If you find a solution whould be really nice if you could post it here.
Thanks..

Well, you do have very little internal space. That normally causes me problems (with other applications)
I don't know if it could affect your launcher but try clearing up some room. I don't have the issue either but I'm on GB CM7. Even if you have time, try backing up your current rom/settings and then start fresh, see if that helps!
You can contast GO DEV Team OR message me!
The team Email is：[email protected]！
Guys, sorry for the very late reply, the problem was fixed after I did a factory reset
Thanks everyone!
I'm also facing the same problem as the OP is facing, I have Spice MI-410, So as it is posted I think Factory Reset is the only solution, too bad
New launcher I been using this morning on my tablet, it uses adw coding so that means adw themes can be used from the market.

Great launcher. It says its not ready for Honeycomb but it runs fine on mine with Tiamat 2.2.1 rom.

Xoom now wont boot after install of VTL
Hi, installed this launcher earlier.. had a play then turned off xoom. Now when I turn it on, it hangs at the flashing m logo. Any ideas? Even to just boot would be nice!

You my sir are going to have to wipe (or restore your backup)! Boot into recovery by rebooting device and 3 seconds after red M shows up hold volume down button until lettering is displayed on top left of screen. Navigate with volume down button until Android Recovery is displayed then hit volume up. Navigate to wipe date/factory reset.
This launcher is for the most part ADW, but its missing the screen switcher under custom shortcuts. It has all other features but that, and thats the one I want.
Also on the far left screen and far right, the screen freezes and won't fully turn to the screen until I scroll back. Rather annoying. Back to ADW. And no swipe up/down to open/hide ANY dock bar.
There are some nice features though and am sure someone will enjoy it.
I tried that but as soon as i go into Android Recovery i get the green android with a triangle (From desire work i know thats not right - not rooted as yet!)
I cant believe that i have to wipe simply after installing an apk! - Not impressed and wife is gonna go ballistic when she finds out that she will lose 2 months of "My Country" work!
I dont think VTL launcher will be on her shopping list! Will start a new thread in Q&A as might as well root now if gonna lose everything! Cheers
I have rebooted many times with it instaled and have no issues... I didnt set it as the default launcher because its not completely readt for honeycomb devices. but other than that it shouldnt have had anything to do with the boot process of the tablet.. im just as confused as you are on that. ... What rom are you running? I have tiamatt 2.2.1 hammerhead..

I used this launcher a few months ago and ran into the same bootloop issue. As strange as it may sound I was able to pull it out of the bootloop by giving it time to boot up and then repeatedly tapping the screen (boot xoom, wait until you feel it should be operational, start tapping screen, uninstall vtl). Worth a shot before wiping, hope it works for you. I dont know what caused it, dont know why tapping fixed it, DO know it hasnt happened again!

Was thinking about trying this...any issues with it? Are you still using it? Comments/thoughts?
I used it for a month or so and really liked it, but it wouldn't work after the 3.2 update, as I recall. Tried for a long time to reach the dev, but it seems he disappeared. The website he/she setup for it was (maybe still is) totally stagnant for a long time. Its a shame, because I really liked the VTL launcher, but I think it is dead (at least for now). Was hopeful when I saw this thread it had been resurrected, but I guess not.
To bad, I was a little leery of trying it after hearing about the boot loop issues. Really want a decent launcher for the Xoom, launcher pro looks to big for me.

Hello people, yesterday I received my Mi 9t Pro and so far I'm quite happy with it. One problem I'm facing is the following: I'm using pixel 3 live wallpapers via Google background app and whenever I restart the phone the lockscreen wallpaper is going back to the stock one. Home screen stays the correct one.
Is anyone facing similar issues or has any idea how to solve this?
Edit: sorry for wrong topic! Thanks to the mods for moving it!
Hey, I had exactly the same problem and I read a solution somewhere that actually worked for me :
Go into settings / manage apps then look for "wallpaper carousel" or something like that and uninstall it.
And that's it, hope it works for you.

Thank you for the answer. I can not find anything similar to wallpaper carousel in my app selection... I might have removed this already with debloating I think!
Not in my indian variant .. but some themes will cause such errors ..
Please goto stock theme.. and check it back
Note : don't uninstall themes ?

Then I remember reading a few times that there is a problem sometimes with MIUI and third party app managing lockscreens.
Have you tried to set it up via the miui gallery app instead of Google app ?
