This has happened to me about 7 or 8 times since I got the phone yesterday.
I'll try to go to recent apps and the currently running app remains showing in the background, or all I get is the X showing to close all of the apps
Anyone else have this issue? Any ideas?
Are you using a live wallpaper? Stock launcher?
I'm using nova launcher
I tried factory resetting and got the same problem still.
It wouldn't be an issue but if I choose the app I was in it causes the app to be unresponsive and I have to go home because the recent apps won't open again
i also had a similar issue. so i went back to stock launcher.
only in stock launcher we dont have this issue. rest in all the other launcher like hyperion, lawnchair, nova, arrow i faced the same issue.
may be a update or fix.
Strange, been on nova since day one and never observed this issue before. Which variant are you using?
Having the issue with Microsoft Launcher for a few days.
I am wondering if it is related to applying the pure black theme as I see some other odd things like the overlay in Google News

Well, you're not on the china variant too. So could be an issue with the theme ? Perhaps try another launcher ?

I disable pure black and went back to a built in theme and it fixed my issues... But now my notification is white again [emoji17]

Yeah , no way around that. Custom themes definitely do break some stuffs.

Hi, is anyone here running TW Launcher 4.5 on their Nexus S?
If so how do you like it? Any issues/annoyances/opinions/suggestions/warnings?
Freezes my phone. Stay away from it. lol

It works fine on my MIUI ROM.
I use it on Bugless Pete and I really do enjoy it. Runs very well.

I have this and it works fine on my NS4G. I dont use it as a daily however.
I tried making a post last night from the phone lost it and said "screw it".
I use(d), as of today, it on my Nexus S 4G with MiUi and Bugless Pete kernel.
It works for awhile, I don't know what the trigger is, then it locks the phone up.
"restart and save" from the menu doesn't work as well as the hot reboot and a few other things.
Today I switched to ADW Ex, I liked TouchWiz but I'm starting to thing there's something "missing" or it's incompatible with MiUi.
I tried this for a few hours on brainmaster's MIUI. Got a bunch of FCs during that time so I went back to the default MIUI launcher.
Tried it on CM7 and Oxygen. Works at first then starts to freeze. Would be nice if someone could get this to work 100%.
I had this running on Oxygen and while the launcher itself seemed to be running fine, I was unable to get any of the widgets working. Have any of you had success with the TW4/GSII widgets? Clock & weather specifically.

I'm running it on a stock setup, once in awhile it will lag, when I hit menu>edit it will FC, other then that it runs and looms pretty good.
Not sure how to configure the widgets though

It doesn't work. I only get two icons on the dock (messaging and the app drawer), and nothing else at all.
Will I ever be able to find a launcher that has the dock icons exactly the same size as all other icons, but not slow as hell like ADW...

so I just got the update today and I'm very happy. However, I can't get LP to work on ICS. It closes everytime I try to select it and I get the msg "unfortunately, LP has stopped." Anyone experience this problem?
Its just not compatible with ics and no info on if it ever will be since the dev hasn't updated it in ages.

Go Launcher EX > Launcher Pro... By miles..
Haven't had any issues. In fact, I went back to using LP instead of ADW Ex because the latest ADW Ex update jacked up the dock and the older version has a dumb looking bar at the top of the screen, probably some weird honeycomb code. Even though LP hasn't been updated in 7 months, it's still working fine for me on ICS.
Just downloaded Go Launcher, thanks. I've been stuck on LP for so long bc of the widgets. Haven't customized my Nexus ina loooong time but ever since I got ICS, it feels like I have a new phone to mess around with lol.

If you want something similar to LP's widgets to use with Go Launcher check out APW. Free and Paid version. Or use GoWidgets.. Solid widget set though. - https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5yZHIud2lkZ2V0cy5jb3JlIl0.
I also used Launcher Pro Plus on GB stock rom.
Actually on ICS is stock launcher the best - and instead of LPP widgets you can use "Android Pro Widgets" free on market (looks exactly like from LPP)
Launcher Pro will crash on ICS if you use the calendar widget. It should work fine if you don't use that widget - that worked for me.

+1 no doubt about it
I use ADW EX it works great plus its been updated for ICS compatibility.. any launcher>LP lol
On Gingerbread, Launcher Pro is still the best and smoothest launcher. I really hope that Fede has been working on re-writing the whole app and making it compatible for ICS.
Why would u want another launcher on ics?

To make the top row useable, limit the number of homescreens, custom number of rows and columns on homescreen, resizable icons, fully resizable widgets, etc.
Go launcher is the worst.

Because all of the android stock launchers are freaking butt ugly. Especially the ICS version. It's no wonder why htc uses sense and Samsung touchwiz. Because if they tried to sell phones with stock android launchers they wouldn't sell many phones. Believe it out not, most of the phone buying world feels this way. For the most part,only the hardcore android fan boys like the stock launcher.

Just use Nova launcher -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389071
based on ICS stock launcher + lot of features (Docks, Grid,...etc) and Uber fast.
PS: And works when GPU rendering is on while GO launcher got artefacts/Gfx bugs.

Why fix it if it ain't broke? Compared to the latest versions of ADW Launcher EX and GoLauncher EX, LauncherPro runs way smoother and lag-free on my gf's G2 with GB 2.3.4 and my Nook Color with GB 2.3.7.

It cannot even change page order now, and the re-build was said last year and what we get now? Not even a word about it.
I know we cannot demand anything from a dev so I just switched to another launcher
Anyone know if you can make the middle (2nd) homepage with the apps on etc. a bit smaller than the default big ones on a 4x4 display.. My previous phone;s Galaxy S2 and Nexus all had a 5x4 display for the app icons and i really don't like the massive gaps between all the app icons.
Can't see anything in the options to do this...
Is it possible?
Thanks
no replies????
You will need to use a 3rd party launcher like Apex or Nova for that. Not possible on the stock launcher.
4x5 is option in Stock...
Not enough for Stock?.....

Yes 5 x 4 in the app pages but i am talking about the 2nd homepage where it is 4 x 4... why cant the home page be 5 x 4 also... seems to be the only bad bit of design i have found with the phone...

Cant use anything that involves rooting the phone as I use banking apps and they do not work when a phone is rooted.
OK, I see nova is an app.. I will look into it. Thanks

I use UK Banks. LloydsTSB and Barclays banking apps and Barclays PingIT. I have only had my HTC for 4 days... dont know anything about rooting it yet.. Had a Gnex before and when i rooted that, none of the banking apps would work as they could see it had been rooted and considered it a security problem
Have Nova now and it is good, just a shame i lose the direct screen rotate widget/icon that the HTC One comes with but Nova does not recognise.. found that pretty useful and i find screen rotation very annoying when i dont want it to rotate but it does and it is at a slight angle!!
I guess UK Banks are more secure good thing. I use multiple banking apps to pay bills transfer funds, etc. never had any security issues. As for rooting, its a whole new world for your phone. Most important thing is to read,read. And read the developers instructions before attempting to root. You could brick your phone if your not careful. Glad you found Nova useful. Good luck if you decide to root your ONE. Remember read!!!!

Hi,
I'm experiencing a little bug on Nova launcher on my HTC One, since installing it yesterday when I press the back button to close an app it shows the Sense app draw rather than the Nova home screen....I've used Nova before on other devices and have never seen this before.
Is there anyone else that uses Nova launcher and is having the same issue and possible have a fix etc? I have searched for the issue and other people on XDA have had the same issue, but thread has not been updated in last 6 months.
Thanks
I use the Nova Launcher on my ONE and don´t get this error. Maybe because i have frozen the Sense Launcher with Titanium.

I'm currently not rooted, but I hope this is a simple fix as I don't want to root just to use another launcher, not saying rooting is pants or anything I just don't want too.

You can force stop the launcher for the Sense one. That is like freezing it

My note 8 just upgraded to Oreo and now all my Google apps have icon frames and they won't go away is there a way to change this? I have Nova launcher too.

Nope its an android thing implimentation and not Samsungs fault, its called Adaptive Icons.. soon all apps will implement this, were on minsdk version v26 now thats why. So...
