So I just rebooted and lost everything I had placed on my home screens, has anyone else had this happen?

Were you using a third party launcher?

Yes, but I've rebooted a few other times without an issue.

Which launcher are you using? Maybe it could be a randomly occurring bug in the Note 3.

I'm using Nova Launcher Prime. I haven't had that issue myself. Maybe it could be some sort of bug.

Yea, Nova Prime works awesome.
I used to use apex, but switched to nova and never looked back.

Can you hide apps you don't use in the app drawer with Nova? Thanx

air command
Sorry for the noob question, I'm waiting to get my note 3. The air command from the stylus is not launcher related right? If i change launcher they are still there?
Thanks!

No it's not related to Launcher. Will work with Nova as well as any other Launcher.

It's on.
I have rooted my phone. And this is my screen.
I really don't see a difference with on or off

You aren't using stock launcher. Transparency only works with stock launcher.
THANK YOU!

Now if only we can get it working with the third party ones. I miss my scrolling dock lol.

Settings shortcuts

Wondering if anyone else is missing the settings shortcut widgets. I would put those on my homescreen. Shortcuts to battery information etc

Yup. Had to use Nova and select activities. Seems shortcut is definitely gone

I can't get adw to stick as my default launcher

I can't seem to get this launcher to stick.
I'm not rooted btw. Tia
It's been a while but I think the trick is to remove ALL of the widgets from the touchwiz screens. I fought with the same issue when moving from my Charge to the Note 3.
Edit: I'm still not rooted either.

does that include folders?
Can't say for sure. I deleted everything and started clean - no apps, no widgets, nothing. I think the widgets are all that matter since many of them are always "active".

Has any one else run I to this problem...cuz it's driving me nuts
Nothing?
I will be setting up my wife's Note 2 this weekend with ADW. Will keep notes as to what I had to do and will pass it along. I know it was the same issue with Charge and this beast.

Try long pressing the home button, then select task manager, then select clear defaults and then clear the default launcher. When you press the home screen again it will ask which launcher, select ADW and tap always.

Yep That will do it.

OT: I conversed with you over at the Charge forum. I got my Note3 last Wednesday, I'm in love and my wife's jealous. She got a S4 and is complaining about her battery running down.
On Topic: I'm using Next Launcher and didn't have any problems with it and my touchwiz setup.

Can S view be used with other than stock launcher?

Thnx!

Samsung apps to my knowledge are closed source. So getting those to work with other launchers is impossible.

I have a S-View flip cover and run Next Launcher without any major problems. The only issue that I have is with S-View using the Samsung music player.

Incorrect. When I had the official S-View case from Samsung, i used Nova Launcher and the S-View functioned just fine.
