[Q] Launcher Pro/TW Launcher.....

I want to use Launcher Pro as my main Launcher, but I read that it does`nt over ride TW, its just there with TW. My question is, since I dont use TW that much, could I clean it up by getting rid of some of the apps there, or would that also delete or affect apps etc. in Launcher Pro?
No point in having TW packed with stuff when I dont use it that much, cheers!

i agree having 2 launchers i think is essential as back up when modding either of them so you can use the other one to fix the one you break if you know what i mean. Just set launcher pro as default and you wont know tw is there.
Any apps you uninstall will be deleted from both launchers.

Ah cheers lads, I`m just trying to have my phone set up so it has as less apps/programs running as possible, I want it to be smoooooth running!

Anyone else have problems setting default launcher? i have TW and pro but every time i click home screen it asks to set default, says the default is set in manage applications...
Any ideas?

Try a restart dude, sounds stupid but might work, then select and check the default box when prompted.

Alternatively you could try get a rom from the dev section where TW has already been removed. I don't recommend removing it manually if you're not sure what you're doing..
Also, they're both just launchers, so they just list links to apps. If you remove an app in TW, it will be removed from LP

ive just installed darkys rom can someone please explain why i have two launchers ie launcher and tw launcher - what do these do and which one should i use as my default. thanks

Launchers launch your app. It's up to you which you prefer.

[Q] widgets not updating after upgrade to ICS

Iam on ICS LPD stock rom with root,my widgets working fine, and have no task killer apps installed
Then I used go launcher ex, most of widgets are not updating after upgrading to ICS , such as typo clock pro does not update the clock, BeWeather pro dose not update the forecast, and market enabler 3.1.1.3 is working and facking but i can not see the paid apps as before
I uninstalled the go launcher and the widgets then reinstalled them, but still the same problem, widgets working fine for some times then stop updating
Although the widgets are working fine all the time with the stock launcher, and when I restart the go launcher the widgets work once again for a while then stop.
Then I thought it might be from go launcher, so I used Apex launcher pro, and faced the same story
I even changed the stock kernel to speedmod kernel with no luck
Any ideas?????

after upgrading i had to reinstall some apps like reckless racing 2, worked fine after that.

I uninstalled them then reinstalled them, still working fine for some times then stop updating!!!

I think you should wipe data and then reinstall apps again..
That's work with mine.

(wipe data)Do you mean format the phone from recovery, or you mean clear data from the application menu and uninstall?
I usually clear the data and uninstall then reinstall.
what about market enabler? is there any other app can do that ?

Any other ideas?????

The same problem.

I.ve tried those, but they don.t work. At least not the ones with endless home screen loop.
I know your work, you.re doing a great job .
Do you have an answer why with factory reset, the system finds the tw, and after that, not?

You can't use stock TW launcher on CM7, because CM7 don't have tw-framework. You can try to find some ported TW launcher, like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324850

By "endless screen loop" you mean something like infinite scrolling? Pretty much EVERY custom launcher has it, why just don't try? I can say that almost all customized launchers are better than any stock launcher, like TW. I suggestion Holo Launcher, take a look into it.

I know. But you know the problems with ace ram memory... i.m using xperia homescreen wich is awesome. The only one without lagg.
I thought that tw, beeing optimized for ace, will run smoothly. The 2.3.4 version is ok, but i would like that "infinite..." from 2.3.6.
It.s an obsession )

In fact, TW is one of the most RAM-hungry for me. I know that being made by Samsung gives the impression that it is better, but just think that some much more powerful phones don't run touchwiz properly, at least Samsung says. You can remove the TW launcher after you've found a nice other launcher, so you don't need to worry about RAM.

[Q] Unable to arrange icons in menu screen - Paranoidandroid 2.12 - JB 4.1.1

Hi guys
I'm using the amazing rom which called Paranoidandroid 2.12 and when I'm trying to edit and arrange the icons on the menu (not on homescreen) and even creating a new folder it's impossible .. tried using nova & apex launchers and it doesn't work either .. is there any way to do that ?
Thanks,
Moshe

What you are referring to is the App Drawer, not the "menu" (big difference!).
Creating folders and rearranging the program icons within the App Drawer is something that is specific to Samsung's TouchWiz launcher, and as such is something that you can't do in Apex or Nova.
What you can do, however, is set up the top headers to be pseudo-folders. Currently it should say something like "apps" and "downloaded" and "widgets" or similar. With the paid-for Apex Pro (I know Nova does the same, but I am unfamiliar with the launcher and the corresponding process) you can customise those headings. On mine, for example, I have the headers set to "Programs" (I HATE the phrase "Apps"), "Tools" and "Games" with the widgets list disabled.
So, if you are after folders, and can make do with only three folders (the widgets section is redundant as long as you can add a widget to your homescreen with long-press) then you can do that with Apex Pro.
Unfortunately, there USED to be a thread in the apps section for the JB GSIII Touchwiz launcher for CyanogenMod 10, but for some reason I can't find it anymore to link it to you...

so, arranging the icons on the menu like on ics (not on the homescreen) not available on jb ?

you still mean the App drawer, not the menu! The menu is the text list that appears when you press the left capacitive button on the phone or the three dots in apps. The App Drawer is the full list of all programs you have installed on your phone with icons. The two are very different, please refer to the correct thing as it's very confusing otherwise!
anyway, as luck would have it, I've found the thread for Touchwiz on CM10: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1854826
If you install this then you will be able to do everything that you remember and require from stock Galaxy Note ROMs including folders in the app drawer.
As another clarification for you, ICS and JB are not the problem for you. When you say ICS you mean the stock Samsung Galaxy Note ICS Touchwiz based ROM, and when you say JB you mean Paranoid Android 2.12 CyanogenMod 10 based ROM. Those last bits are crucial. Apex runs on ICS just find and you still can't do the folder thing that you want to do with Apex on ICS. Only Touchwiz - regardless of Android version - can do the folders and rearranging of icons in the app drawer.

I didnt try that launcher but i think thats not a bug
In touchwiz,when you change the wallpaper,you need to select whether to scroll or not to scroll

can't find the option to enable that ..

When you select a wallpaper,you will see two modes below the wallpaper(normally we get it in the tw).If you can see that,select the first one and you get scrollable wallpaper

[Q] Stock Widgets not Showing up .....???

Stock widgets are not showing up in other launchers like Nova Launcher (For eg Accuweather widget ) . Is there a way to enable those widgets..? Thanks in Advance...

That's a known issue, even I have noticed that.. I don't think there is any other way to use the Accuweather widget while using Nova Launcher.. you will have to try other weather widgets.. I'm using the Google Now widget - it displays weather info as well...

I solved that issue with pushing the apk in the system.

I guess I was wrong and/or forget what i was doing, but the stock weather widget does not work from TouchWiz on Apex. Sorry for misunderstanding.
You can only install a similar version of that widget for Apex .
