Yeah forgot about that too. Some other apps do this as well such as TD's app. I was assuming it was just either poor programming or the app stays running to launch it faster next time and or save your space. This I don't believe is the case for Contacts though.
Hi its a new task manager bug if you can rollback to ver 1.5 problem will disappear.
Anyone else have any solutions since I don't know how to rollback the version?
Hi All, just some info sharing after I encountered TwLauncher force close loop after I installed an app. and how I resolved it. Searched for an answer for this but seems like everyone says do a hard reset which I do not want to.
Was trying out Dolphin Browser when suddenly my twlauncher force close. Think the error occurred because the browser tried to put a shortcut on the launcher but my launcher screens did not have space for it. Rebooting does not help as the twlauncher still goes into force close loop when the phone starts up. Almost wanted to do a hard reset but was thinking if I could go into Settings and remove the dolphin browser which may remove the error. After trying, I realised I could still go into the Settings by holding down Menu button to go into Search option (after dismissing the force close) and search for the Settings app. However when I went into the Settings, removed the Dolphin browser and rebooted, launcher still goes into force close loop.
Then I figured I should clear the data in twlauncher and let it launch in default. Same thing again, press and hold Menu button to go into Search. Search for app Settings and launched it. Go to Applications, Manage Applications, All and select TwLauncher. Go to Storage -> Clear data. And presto! No more force close loop!! TwLauncher now sets back to default, and the only thing you need to do is to customize/add back your launcher 'desktop' again with whatever shortcuts or widgets you want or had previously. No hard reset required which save a lot of hassle! So the error is basically data corruption which caused the TwLauncher to go into force close loop.
Hope anyone who encountered the same problem as me don't have to hard reset anymore with this solution!
Damn, you just saved me.
Thanks so much, I almost did the hard reset myself!

in my app list is no TwLauncher?! Only TwWallpaperChooser...
But I think it is translated to "Startseite" (german) - can somebody confirm this?
I have the same problem - there is no TwLauncher in "All" list - please help
thank mate. although i find it useless but still i wanted it. thank so much
damn thus thread is a little bit too late.....I experienced it about 2 week ago...the only solution was to flash back my FW because Hard Reset didnt help...btw thanx for this coz it might be usefulll for the future....
Well, glad my old thread helped some of you guys. I'm not sure why some of you can't see the default rom twlauncher, unless you are using a custom rom with another launcher.
This sounds good and would have certainly helped me on the numerous occasions when I have experienced this, caused by an application failing to find desktop space to park an icon every time.
One small thing is nagging me though. If Search is not one of the last six apps I've used it won't show up in the Recent apps drawer that appears when I hold the menu button or have I missed something?
thanks bro this is great!!!
thank u soooo much
I was facing this problem on my new Galaxy S i9003 and had pretty much made up mind to do a factory reset when I came across a link to your post on this site - androidza.co.za forum
Thank you again - you saved me from a lot of trouble.
Thank you so much!!

Thanks a ton guys from saving me the work of hard resetting my Galaxy Ace.
Note: for the people searching for tw launcher in manage applications, on the Galaxy Ace its "Sansung Home", just clear data and your Ace is all good again
This morning my 2 yo decided to have a play with my phone. He handed me the phone back and blurbed something like its was broken daddy.
When I had a look it had the below screen shot on the screen, "Unfortunately, (INSERT FOREIGN LANGUAGE HERE) Has Stopped."
The only thing I can see wrong is that the keyboard is now not working. Dialer still works but the keyboard in browser, sms, email........... have stopped working.
Every time I change screens this error pops up. I had a look in the apps menu and the keyboard is still showing as an installed app but its not showing in the running apps menu. I thought it normally did?
Anyone had this problem? Or can suggest a fix?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Tried with another keyboard ?
Thanks for that, I just found the problem.
My boy enable a k/board option (Chinese) that isn't an option. I can't disable in the k/board options but I can disable it in the programs.
I'm experiencing a wierd issue/non issue.
every now and the when I exit an app I get a pop up notification saying that "contacts force closed"
Or "contacts failed" one of those 2. I usually look past it, it doesn't seem to be effecting anything just kind of annoying.
Has anyone else experienced this?
phone is a month old stock non rooted, android 4.4.4.
:I meant to post this in the Q&A. Apologies:
Try clearing data for contacts app in aplication manager.

Hi everyone, i'm having some issues with the phone.
Everytime i open the installed app list, both under settings or in the playstore, after a few seconds the stock launcher restarts and take me back to the home page. This is pretty annoying. I've seen that after a system reboot it all works fine, but after some time the problem is back.
Before i was also having some random launcher reboot, but i've solved them disabling the huawey theme manager app, but the ones when listing the installed app are still hunting me.
I've already tried to clear the caches but with no result.
I'm on stock 5.1.1 rooted rom.
Anyone else having this problem or has some clue on how to solve it?
