Absoluelty horrible Glitch on 2.2 (Please Read)

Hey guys, I found a nasty little bug that has made my epic unusable. Basically if you have all your home screen pages filled up and decide to create a shortcut of an app (in this case it was dolphin browser) from inside the app, Touch Wiz will crash no matter how many time you reboot the phone. All other programs work just fine, however touchwiz will without fail crash. I am trying to find a way around this without reflashing but it looks like that is my only option. Be warned everyone EB13 is not ready for prime time.
Edit: Found a quick work around, just install launcher pro from the market and hit the home button and switch your launcher to launcher pro. Now can anyone tell me how to switch back?

So why not use something other than tw? Why would you load up that many icons on 7 pages? Home Switcher from market...

I didnt I had 3 full pages. Also turns out even turning off touchwiz and switching back to it ruins it. Also not the appropriate place for this but isn't possible to add more homescreens to launcher pro. But thankyou for the advice.

Yes you can add screens to launcherpro by hitting (from launcherpro) menu>preferences>homescreen settngs. To fix touchwiz, hit menu>settings>applications>all, scroll down to TWlauncher cick it, and clear everything.

Sounds like a bug in Touchwiz, not Froyo.

Thank you XDA for helping me through what was pretty much me over reacting.

I would really urge you to play around with Launcher Pro for a while. Try the different settings and see what they all do. I can't imagine using Touchwiz now. I love the way launcherpro both looks and works.

Aug 31st... the first day I had my phone I moved to Launcher Pro and haven't looked back... not a single reason to use TW

Try hitting menu/settings/apps/manage apps/all.
Find twlauncher and clear data and cache. It will likely blow out anything you had on you screens but may allow you to use it again if that's what you are looking for.

TW is for folk who want their phone to feel more iOSish, and if that's what they want, meh. More power to 'em.
I used LP for a long time, but am giving Go Launcher a whirl these days. I kinda like it even more, but...
Ugh, Launcherpro has THE BEST agenda widget on Android. No free widget I've tried even comes close. Really frustrating.

Got my phone in august 31, moved to launcherpro sept 4, havent looked back either, its great, especially with the scrollable dock and all the customizations you can do!!

Meh - LP is pretty good but I suspect most people don't use most of the options, making it kind-of big. I haven't found a better option though. It's pretty darn good.

I use LauncherPro, and I have long since deleted both TouchWiz an the stock launcher from the /system/apps/ folder. It frees up a bit of space.

Yeah this is what I was going to suggest. It WILL delete all your settings related to the launcher.

Why fill your homescreens with apps anyway...talk about cludered ...

[ROM][Updated 04/08/11]De-sensed DAS_BAMF 1.4 Non-Themed[ROM]

This is DAS_BAMF 1.4 non-themed as much as I could get it. I did this for myself but a couple people were interested so with Adrynalyne's blessing I decided to post it up for those that do not like sense. I used Go Launcher EX to replace Rosie(sense launcher) and also included the free Go SMS Pro, and Go Missed Notifications (if you want to use a different launcher you can adb push to /system/app/ or just open the ROM zip with 7zip and remove GO Launcher and replace with Launcher Pro, or ADW, etc)
IF YOU BORK YOUR PHONE, THAT'S ON YOU
Instructions
1. MAKE A BACKUP
2. Wipe data/cache/system/dalvik
2. Download ROM
3. Flash ROM via CWR
4. Download one of Adryn's kernels from ROM Manager (under MrBobrowitz's section) or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1014239
5. Flash kernel
6. Be happy
Note: there seems to be a little bug with all 3rd party launchers where if you you hit the phone button and the dialer pops up, the contact list is blank and the smart dial does not work. To remedy this long press phone, select a new application and restart Launcher Pro then add the phone back, you may also have to open up the dialer and try to dial a few numbers and delete them and the contacts should appear. Not really sure why this happens.
Again, I did this for me, so I won't be offering any real support for it, and I seriously doubt Adrynalyne will either so flash at your own risk. I have been running this for a couple days and it has been working very well for me, and I will probably keep running it until something compelling is released, with that said, have fun and flash away.
All credit goes to Adrynalyne and ThatDudeButch and anyone else that had anything to do with Das_BAMF
Download ROM:

I forgot to add the GO Launcher Notifications, you can find them on the Android Market or here:

Additional Kernels:
You know where to find them, there's a lot floating around right now...

the reason for the lp bug is the default path to the dialer...htc's path is different then the aosp (which is why it has to be reset)

ADW EX Updated!

ADW EX has been updated today with a lot of fixes and options for Tablets including having the dock on the bottom in landscape and many more! There are tons of fixes for Honeycomb tablets especially for 10" screens. If you are an ADW EX user, but found it too buggy before, it night be good for you now! You can also set the secondary dock as the default which has scrolling like launcher pro.

Niice! Thanks for letting us know, I had no idea. I've been missing ADW Ex since I updated to 1.7.. And the new additions to it sound great.
EDIT: What is the new version number? The online market still says 1.3.3.

im new to this, love the speed of the scrolling screen when i had a quick play. but looking for advice
i want a clean home screen with none of the + signs, adecent weather /time/date widget and app shortcuts same size as stock
what are people using for this sort of things decent add on recomendations would be great

How to change apperiance of main black dock? I can change only bar with 5 blank spots..not this bar for tablets.. Any ideas?

My new homescreen

Ok, now that looks clean. I love not having those icons all over the screen. If this is from ADW, I'm tempted.

Only wish that we could put things all the way to the edge of the screen, with the dockbar. Can only do it without, and that's annoying too.

Is there a good way to set wallpapers with ADW? I keep getting a half black half wallpaper result.
Thanks in advance.

App drawer icons not auto rearranging

Hey Guys
I'm on stock ROM ZSKK1 2.3.5 with KJ3 and KJ6. I've rooted using CF. Whenever I delete an app, the page where the icon was will have a missing icon bottom right. Why doesn't the first icon from the next page fill the space?
Also when I install new apps, it doesn't get rearranged alphebatically... just in the order of when it was added. This is bad because when I clear data on twlauncher to fix the issue, the homescreen gets reset too.
On the same note (pardon the pun ), would a different ROM running 2.3.6 fix this issue? Which should I be looking at that is closest to stock as mine?
Thanks!

I'm assuming you're using TWlauncher? If so, you can try Appzorter from the market.
Can't understand why this feature is not built into the launcher!

wow, that looks like it will work... damn stupid that it isn't built into touchwiz. gonna try it now, THANKS!

Holgalee - That's a bloody brilliant app. Thanks very much for sharing and bringing it to our attention. Well happy with my icons now.

CM7 performance expectations vs actual results

So I installed CM7 this afternoon, and and was expecting moderate results so far as perfomance goes. I'll need to go through a whole work day to see how battery life is.
But..... I ran quadrant (I know not always exact), and and the results were surprising. Tests are landing between 3400 and 3600. I never saw north of 2200-2400 before.
What's everyone seeing with the xda CM7 latest version?

Yes, mine is the same, 1ghz enhanced stock kernel. With 1.3ghz it could go towards the 4800-5001 region.

Turning the transitions in Spare Parts to "fast" makes the phone seem brand new! Everything is blazing fast! 1 thing i'm curious about is how laggy the lockscreen can be, either stock or widgetlocker. It seems i have to pull the slider halfway and leave it to slide back, to make the 2nd slide to unlock smooth. Strange.

I would strongly recommend Go Launcher(free from the market) its very smooth and has MANY transitions animations that are very pleasing to the eye. App drawer seems to have zero lag with animations set to random. And I'm almost sure random uses the most resources. Or try another launcher.

try installing the google apps package through rom manager.
if you dont have rom manager (which you should - i think its standard on cm7)
find rom manager.apk if you can't find it and push it to your sd card install rom manager, then google apps, then a new keyboard thru market.

Go to Settings > CyanogenMod > Performance > tap "Ok" > Use 16bit Transparency
It limit the transparency rendering so to save resources and give back performance. (I hope to explane it right)

I've been using CM7 stable for about a week. I really like it, although I've just tried using it as a mass storage device and I'm not able to access my EXT or INT flash memory. After disconnecting from the USB, it will freeze my phones screen and I will have to do a hard reboot by pulling the battery to fix it. Anything I can do to fix this?

been using CM7 since original beta, and have never had this problem. i would suggest doing a complete wipe with Fastboot and then reinstalling CM7 to see if the problem persists, if it does then get a logcat and report it to the Atrix Dev Team.
