I keep on changing launchers on my N1, recently found Go Launcher Ex and installed it. It's impressing me except one weird problem that whenever I select Settings>Preferences it' shows the preference screen for about half a second and disappears and I am back to home screen. Means I can't change any launcher settings.
I googled a lot but can't see anyone else having any such issue. Please help.
Thanks.
- Unrooted N1 Gingerbread
- 28MB Internal space

Thanks..

Well, you do have very little internal space. That normally causes me problems (with other applications)
I don't know if it could affect your launcher but try clearing up some room. I don't have the issue either but I'm on GB CM7. Even if you have time, try backing up your current rom/settings and then start fresh, see if that helps!
You can contast GO DEV Team OR message me!

Guys, sorry for the very late reply, the problem was fixed after I did a factory reset
Thanks everyone!
I'm also facing the same problem as the OP is facing, I have Spice MI-410, So as it is posted I think Factory Reset is the only solution, too bad
Hello! I am not sure if i'm posting in the correct section but this is the only one for samsung galaxy mini 2, so i do.
I am facing a problem with my device. I go to menu, edit the icons, move them around as i would like them to be, then click save.
I go to home screen, then enter the menu, everything is fine, the icons are still the way i left them.
BUT when i turn of the phone and turn it on afterwards the icons have lost their arrangement i made to them.
Anyone else has the same problem?
I would really appreciate the help, cause I bought the phone like 9 days ago, on the 2nd day i gave it to vodafone (where i bought it from) for service, the description of the problem was very accurate, but today i got it back, the service description said "upgraded, the problem is over" but the problem still remains...
Thank you in advance!

do you installed your apps into your ext.sdcard? if yes,
1. get the faster microsd, or
2. install all your apps into phone or
3. get a 3rd party launcher, e.g go launcher
hope this help

i dont like much other ones.... can i somehow fix it? or it is a problem for all s6500 users?
I think very few of us using touchwiz launcher. I tried adw, holo, espier and now mihome from miui and never look back.

I've noticed that on Nova my clock/weather widgets will lose sync with system time after a short while pressing the sections of the widget will not work. The presses register but nothing happens.
I emailed the Nova Dev and he told me uninstall, reinstall and try again. I did that and it didn't make a difference. He asked me to try other launchers to see if the same thing happens. Sure enough I had the same issue on Apex launcher.
Has anyone else noticed this or am I the only one? I'm on Epic ROM w/o Xposed.
Damn, not even one person can tell me whether I'm the only one who is experiencing this?
Launch the security app, go to battery section and configure your widget apps to no restrictions. Your widgets are not synced because of background components are killed if stock settings are used.

I'd check "battery & performance>battery saver" but yeah the idea is that something is killing the widgets background processes

I use nova launcher and many widgets. I use zooper widget for time /date and weather. It's syncing perfectly fine for me. Whether you are the only one who is experiencing this, I don't know. If no one is posting same problem here, that gives you an indication it might just be you.

if you aren't following all the instructions to make sure notifications/background stuff sync then that is your problem. you must do it for widgets just as you must do it for gmail and other apps you want to sync or they will be killed by the stupid security features built into miui.

I actually never came across that Help thread because it was buried near the bottom. Only after reading that article did I realize that there were so many security features in MIUI that I didn't know about.
Thanks for pointing that info out
Hey guys just a few quick questions here. Did anyone order the V40 from B&H?
If so I have a few questions about some of the system apps. Mainly does it have the stock lg messaging app or did they ditch that with the international version as well? Does the Google dialer from playstore work on the phone or is it blocked? Yes I know there's a patched version but I'm wondering about the one on Google Play. On the G7 it worked fine. And if someone could posts few screenshots for me that would be swell too. Looking to see settings, dialer and if possible the stock messaging app (if it was included)
Did not come with a LG Messaging app. Is compatible with the Google Dialer and Contacts. Installed both and then uninstalled com.android.contacts to remove the lg dialer and contacts, and everything is working fine. Also have done the same with calculator and clock so I could use more overlays with swift black. Settings look different from the V30, but probably similar to the G7. May attach screenshots later if I remember and have time.

Great thanks for this. How about lg calendar app?
It came with Google Messages (currently running 3.7.052) as the stock messaging app. I don't know about the normal version but the beta of the Google Phone (26.0222117411) app works just fine directly from the store. I've attached dialer and messaging screenshots with personal information cleared out.

Another question for the international one, if that's the B&H one. Can you turn off the camera shutter sound right from the app?
Can someone show me a picture of the theme app open? I want to see something that will be helpful moving forward and let me get a head start on a few things

Well if your taking requests a black out theme would be nice and battery saving....and whatever wallpaper you wannna go with as the creator.
Well I don't take requests per say but I sure do listen to people and try to cater as best I can. I will open a support, communication and feedback thread once I get something done. I've had quite a few people asking for pixel experience light and dark so that will be first followed by something else that I've been tinkering with and possibly an icon pack add on since some people prefer stock icons, with the icon pack they can have the choice

Can you root the BH version?
Sent from my LG-H932 using XDA Labs
Just picked up the China 64/6GB configuration (RMX1931), got Google Play running, all looking good, until I ran into the following OS limitations that I've never seen before in about 10 previous Android devices and at least 20 different OS's:
- I can't change the default launcher. Have seen tutorials for what must be previous versions of ColorOS on Oppo devices showing that the launcher can be changed under Additional Settings > App Management > Default App. In this version, App Management is in the root options menu, but the Default App menu doesn't include a launcher option. Attempting to set a new default launcher from within the new launcher app just doesn't take--no matter how many times I pick "use as default launcher," upon hitting home I go right back to the ColorOS launcher. It's mind-blowing to me that Oppo would have the shortsightedness to lock out one of the most key features of Android customizability...surely there's a way around this, has anyone found it? Because the stock launcher suuuucks.
- I can't set vibrate-only notifications. I can for ringtones, but not notifications. There's no "None" option for notification sounds, and no option to enable vibration or choose a vibration style for notifications. Unbelievable.
- I can't change the default SMS app. Well, I can, but the OS automatically changes it back to the stock SMS handler every time I receive an SMS, and I can't find any way to disable this.
Much obliged if anyone has found any workarounds to the above issues that they can share. I am REALLY excited for someone to come out with a way to flash stock Android on this thing. Great hardware value, but this stock OS...for the most part it's fine, but it's blocking functionality that's been available on every Android phone for the past decade. I can't imagine what the software team behind this was thinking.
Wow. Good for me I did not pre-orded the european version yesterday, I'm using Nova Prime launcher on every phone for years and also textra, that's a no go for this phone for me now... And I have no doubt what you say is true.
One thing tho, I'm french, saw a french review of the X2 Pro a few weeks ago, and the guy clearly said he installed textra and adviced users to do so, and didn't share any complains so...
But right now I'm gonna stand with your testimony and hold my purchase, thanks for sharing mate and hope you will find a solution if there is one.
It could be due to the fact it's a chinese version.
I guess EU version on pre order on the official site won't 'suffer' those limitations.
Let's wait for more feedback

I also have the Chinese version of the phone to the 8GB 128gb version. I also cannot change the launcher or change default applications. Hoping a custom or global ROM will come out so I can flash it over. I also have weird black lines that appear in my camera sometimes but only in my room I've noticed doesn't do it outside. they show up in the picture or video but when I'm in good lighting or outside they don't appear. Just in my room regardless of how the lighting is it's super weird. Otherwise the camera is pretty good. Can be a lot better with some software tweaks. Also when I swipe down on the home screen some of the phone is still in Chinese even though it's set in English. I can't get Google assistant on it either. It has its own built-in called breeno but it's all Chinese. Otherwise the performance of the phone is great if you could get oxygen OS on it it would be perfect. Battery life is really good currently at 50% 9 hours and 11 minutes of use and 4 hours and 11 minutes of screen on time. Charging a super fast and I typed all of this using talk to text.

Install your preferred launcher first, than uninstall default launcher with adb commands (many guides about that), you are good to go.

I have done it when I had Oppo K1 last year, same Color OS. And don't worry in case of any problem you can always factory reset to fix.

Doesn't work, on attempting to delete system apps, including launcher (com.oppo.launcher), I get the following return:
Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]
Can uninstall other apps no problem with adb commands. Also, this is a unique error return; the error you get for trying to uninstall the wrong package name or a package that doesn't exist is different.
It looks to me like changing the launcher or permanently changing the SMS handler on the Realme X2 Pro will not be possible without root. I do see that there's a test version of TWRP out for this device, so I'll try getting SuperSU running and uninstall the system launcher that way.

So sorry to hear that, and so nonsense that Oppo (Realme) isn't allowing for a simple launcher change. Just because of those stupid things I'm not buying any phone that can't be rooted. But X2 Pro will get root eventually.

You mean an EU version? It definitely looks like the launcher restriction is an issue with the original chinese versions and there still appears to be no clarity on whether anyone has managed to get the EU rom on a CN phone.
The EX on the version number looks to me to indicate the global versions and this seemingly prevented people flashing it on the X2 so I suspect the X2 Pro has the same problem.
Just try pocco launcher guys.
Very light and looks like near to stock AOSP experience
Changed launcher without any problem at all. Process is straightforward as in any other android .

Yes, I've done this and can confirm it works. More detailed infos here:
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
HOWEVER: Nova's Google companion does not work well. I often cannot slide to the very left and then I have to play around with the auto start and energy saving settings.
Also ColorOS keeps changing certain notification settings. Spotify and my Podcast App don't get shown on the Lockscreen, the settings are simply changed back without me doing this. And my calendar widget "Todo agenda" is often not populated with data and becomes useless.
For me, it's a pretty nasty mix of annoyances and shortcomings right now and I'm not thrilled by the Chinese version at all.
I will try to flash the EU Rom, but haven't seen it uploaded anywhere yet...
If that or future software updates won't solve the problems, then I will sell it again.
