Widgets depends upon your launcher. You need to backup your launcher using TB. But you can't restore the TW launcher app as it is system app but try restoring just the data from TB.
Better, use third party Launcher from market set your home screen widgets and backup using TB and when trying other ROMs just restore app and data.

i tried with titanium backup, it restores all the icons, but never the widgets
and i kindda like TW so using it, not other launchers
ok got it ....
ok well, been reading here and there and found that NOVA launcher is quite good and still uses the TW features like the S pen and Air View
and can backup and restore the android screens and widgets, so its a good solution
just upgraded to JON 7 rom and got back everything like it was
thx

Is it possible to use Launcher Pro instead of ADW in CM7? (currently using nightly 41 w/ 041811C OC Kernl + ALSA) If so how do I uninstall ADW?
I tried uninstalling ADW using Titanium Backup but the force uninstall didn't work. I assume because it is prebuilt into CM7
Thanks!
first what is ALSA? and yes you can just download it and click the n and pick launcher pro.
uninstall adw using uninstaller for root or through terminal, if you cant uninstall it using the normal way

I use Zeam, but the result is the same. AFTER you install your Launcher, click the "n", then check the box to make the Launcher the default and select Launcher Pro.
Once your favorite launcher is the Default launcher, go into Titanium Backup and 'freeze" ADW.
Ive always found it best to leave a launcher in the backround. Especially helpful if you screw up and its un-runable
I use the Home Switcher app, it allows me to easily change home screen launchers and set defaults. Been useing it on all my devices since Eclair, its quite handy.
i'm love testing roms so when ever i flash a new rom i have to set all apps and stack them into folders(i prefer stacking apps in folders) and this is very difficult when u have more than 400 apps.
is there any app that back'ups the previous appdrawer settings and then restore's it ?
i've read it somewhere that a app is there and it works for samsung launchers.
anyone aware of it ?

Backup data of touchwiz launcher using Titanium Backup then restore it whenever you flash a new TW based ROM.
Go backup..... Their will be an option to backup the launcher layout
Hello peoples,
[hope i am in the right section now?]
I love android but hate having to restore widgets over and over again (i flash a lot of different kernels and roms). Up till now i have never found a way to backup and restore the widgets in there former glory (location/size/settings). I use Titanium backup/restore but i found that only a nandroid restore really restores everything (and that is not something i can use when trying out new kernels and roms)
Am i missing something? (an app for instance that will really save position and settings of a widget? Or is it just a know shortcoming in android? I have used almost every launcher around but none of them restore widget (position/size/setting)
Can someone link me to some wisdom?
ps: i understa...alvik VM that hosts the widget position/size?
66 views so far but no response...? Anybody?
Cause no one knows even me but I believe if you copy launcher data using tb and restore it although I didn't try but let me guess that it works

I think this because of the launcher. If you use Apex for example and you make a backup via the app all the settings will be saved on to SD card. If you want to use another launcher with the same widgets you'll need to replace them since the data cant be restored from apex etc. Some apps can import settings from others but this will be said by the app it self.
Like i said, it depens on the launcher. Perhaps to ask one of the developers of the launcher for more information.

Good advice. So i guess i have been obstructing myself by changing launchers on weekly bases. :laugh:
where is the lockscreen file of a rom?and whats its name?
and the wallpapers of the rom?
I've updated my Captivate SGH-I897 from FROYO 2.2 to a Slim Rom on 4.3.1
There is no MEMO app! My backup won't restore to the new Calendar app
and I would prefer the older memo app I had.
I have both; memo & calendar backups in XML format
Anything I can do???

You went from touchwiz to AOSP, therefor, can't get the same apps. You can always look for another memo app on the Play store.

Are my Memo & Calendar backups useless, or might they restore to a new app?

They might restore, you'll have to search though if there's a way to do it.
When using Lawnchair v2 or Nova launcher the recent apps shows 1 second an empty screen before switching to the last used app when using the swipe gestures.
It looks like it's recognizing the launcher as an app and puts it away before showing the normal recent apps screen.
I can't get it fixed... Need help.

if you remove system launcher gestures, and uses nova launcher, does not work
