Launcher

Can somebody try running a different launcher for me? Thanks

I just got into a friend's HD. It's proving to be quite a hassle to get another launcher running. Tried Launcher Pro just for kicks, and I don't even get an option to choose my launcher after pressing the home button. Defaults can't be cleared from the Applications>Installed Applications menu for the Kindle Launcher. Trying Nova or Apex next but it doesn't look good.
I'm glad I got my Nexus 7 after looking at this Amazon-ridden mess.

If I cant even install a launcher I probably wont buy one. My nexus was good, but it has slowed down, and has screen ripple and screen lift

Yeah, just got ADB working and tried to install Nova that way. No luck.
I've had my Nex7 for a month or so now and it's still running smoothly. I do change my ROM often though. The only hardware issue I've noticed is some issues with the digitizer. It seems to touch things when it's sitting. It may be my screen protector but it seems like a widespread issue.
Edit Again: Make sure your back housing is secured correctly. I noticed mine was starting to ripple quite badly (after I got curious and removed the back cover) until I gave the back cover a good squeeze all the way around the device. It went away then. I've also read adjusting the corner screws under the cover fixes some of the ripple, LCD bleed, and lifting of the digitizer.

I tried some of that but didnt seem to work. Thank you for that. Shame because I really want too. I am experiencing lag that bothers me the most. Thank you

Are you running stock? Its odd for the Nexus 7 to be laggy.

Yeah. It isn't to laggy, other than in thebapp drawer it will lag . It isn't as fast as it was before. There is an thread bout it

Not being a mod but can we stay on topic please? This is KF7 forum not N7. Thanx.

Back on topic, here's some info about alternate Launchers:

Try ADW Launcher Ex apk from 4shared.com.
It is running fine on my kfhd. I don't dare hit the home button or reboot afterwards, I'll just put it to sleep and hopefully be able to enjoy this launcher with ICS going forward and not the carousel.
I'll add widgets and a theme soon and see what happens.

Would the Default App Manager application from the Play Store not solve the problem of not being able to select a different launcher?

No I guess not, since all it does is present the standard Application Info screen. Kinda lame.

Eh? I am running ADW launcher ex and it works fine. The home button just takes you back to the stock amazon launcher but then you just start up ADW again through the icon. It's a pain having that extra step since you can't change default but it's still 100x better than the amazon carousel.

Well initially I wasn't sure what would happen if I hit the home key or turned off the KFHD, I didn't want to lose the alternate launcher.
I know now it created an icon in the apps to get that launcher back when you want it. Better yet, I just leave the icon first in my carousel to get access! It is a million times better than the carousel but I think I remember from the first KF, I had to go back and clean up the carousel since the alternate launcher leaves a trail of what one does so I just did it when I turned my KF off at night for good.

did you do anything special to put it on your KFHD? i've tried installing several launchers, but can't ever find them in the app section of the amazon launcher

Thanks for the tip. ADW is working great for me. Well, maybe not as good as it was. In the process of trying to change the wallpaper it got stuck on the Yellow Flowers.. I've cleared data, cleared cache and uninstalled and reinstalled. Heck, I'd be happy now with the wallpaper that first installed on it. I really like the ADW launcher compared to Amazon. Not sure I can hang with the yellow flowered wallpaper tho. Any ideas?

I don't mean to troll and please don't consider this a personal attack or anything but in a previous post you referred to the KFHD as an "Amazon-ridden mess" and are glad you got your N7 but you seem to put up with a lot just to have the N7....i.e. ghost touches with the digitizer, ripple, screen bleed , screen lifting not to mention fragile screen glass being reported in other XDA threads. The other poster complains of lagging which you fob off as not much of an issue but there is an entire thread on XDA devoted to this and what seems to be either an IO issue to the memory or a real problem with the type of memory being used. Yes, we know the KFHD is a closed ecosystem and many Android devotees would walk across glass before buying such a thing but you still need to have some perspective. Too many here seem to excuse a lot of issues with the N7 just because it is pure Android. The things you excuse in an N7 seem to me to be severe hardware issues. You and others don't seem to mind cause it's pure Jelly Bean. I'm willing to put up with some software limitations as long as I can sideload apps just to get what seems to me to be superior hardware and what looks like superior build quality. I can wait for the unlocked bootloader.

All I can think of is uninstall ADW, download the apk file again form 4shared.com, install it and just take the defaults on the options screen for ADW.

Nothing will show up but ADW launcher, everything else I tried for launchers said they installed but one cannot get to those other launchers.
Download the apk file for ADW Launcher Ex from 4shared.com and install it. Once you open it, it will create an icon automatically afterwards.

Lockscreen weather is missing

I just noticed my lockscreen weather widget is not there anymore. Enabling additional information weather in the settings changes nothing. I am rooted on the stock rom. I may have unintentionally deleted the app that runs that widget while trying to clean up the clutter installed from the factory. Can anyone tell me what the app (or apps) is called that runs the lockscreen so I can check? Or maybe provide the stock apk for it? Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply. I installed both those apps again and the weather still does not appear on the lockscreen. I have rebooted and toggled the additional information setting but still nothing. Any other ideas on how to get it back?

Just figured it out. I had go locker installed. It was disabled completely but after uninstalling it the weather came right back instantly.

Google Keep widget on .152

After an update to .152, Google Keep widget stopped updating. I removed it from home screen, but can't add it anymore. When I drag the widget it simply fades and is not added. Other widgets are working fine.
Tried reinstalling Keep, cleared data of Home app, nothing helps.
Anyone else having the same problem?

Same here on my wife phone.

I have the same problem on my Honor View 10.
This post suggests a workaround by installing an older version of Google Keep until it's fixed: https://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?t=900276&p=6322733&viewfull=1#post6322733

MIUI 11 Nova Launcher - Homescreen Animation Missing

Hi everyone,
Don't know if It's only my case but since i installed MIUI 11 i immediatly noticed this weird "glitch".
Just look at the gif, it seems like everytime i want to go back to my homescreen it needs to refresh the launcher.
I remembered having a little animation back on miui 10.
Anyone else with this type of problem ?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Go and force close the original launcher

Already tried this. I noticed that when i re-enable the navigation button everything is back to normal. (Smooth transition to the homescreen) Gestures are the problem.
I only need to know if i'm the only one having this so i can figure out if this is my fault or not.

What's weird about it is that when actually returning back to homescreen using back gesture (left or right using the side of the screen) it's completely fine. Only using the home gesture seems to cause the problem.
I saw that message maybe it is related but i wanted to be 100% sure about that. ?

For me MS Launcher works with no issues whatsoever! My animations are off and I've enabled high performance mode in the launcher settings! You can try and check if that has any effect on the behaviour of launcher!

i have the same bug too, and also when i unlock my phone there is no animation there either, does anyone else have this???

I have the same problem with nova launcher

Same problem here with fullscreens gesture on miui 11

Same problem
