Custom Launcher Problem after lollipop update - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Custom launchers doesn't even start on my note 3 anymore after lollipop update. Anyone has such problem and possibly a working solution? Just after I start Nova launcher, i have a message "Nova Launcher is stopped". It's the same with Apex launcher as well. I'm using pro version on both launchers.

Uninstall them. Clean your phone and maybe cache too. Try again. With no restore of settings.

I've cleared cache and data of the apps and uninstalled them. Then i reinstalled them from the Play Store. It's still the same. I started thinking if nobody else is having the same problem after lollipop update maybe it's something about my rom installation.

Problems like that after an update usually require a factory reset to fix.

I've done a factory reset and flashed the lollipop rom through Odin again and it's still the same. I can't use custom launchers after lollipop update

If this is happening on Stock Lollipop ROM then you probably are on your own, cause I haven't seen a single person mentioning a problem like this. Nova Prime works flawlessly on my phone, as it should, which is on LP obviously.

Yeah I am on stock lollipop rom. I started thinking maybe the problem occurs because of memory leak issues of lollipop. Since there's no sign of Samsung to upgrade note 3 to Android 5.1 I will consider flashing a custom rom which is built on 5.1 if I can find any on xda.

Problem with Samsung Apps store

I recently rooted my Note and now I'm using Rocket Rom v22.
When I open the Samsung Apps store, it keeps telling me I need to update. After accepting the update, Samsung Apps doesn't install the update.
Had the same problem. Installed the STOCK ROM and I am all set now
Works fine on checkrom

Exactly the same problem. Clearly there is a problem with the app working on the Rocket Rom.
I am not going to change my ROM just to get this working but it sure is frustrating. Hoping there is an update to flash at some point.

[Q] Hide apps in drawer is removed after updating to 4.4.2 (KitKat)

I really love the TouchWiz launcher. But i miss to hide my apps in drawer. Is there a way to get 4.3 launcher to 4.4.2, or a mod that can fix it for me?
I've tried the 4.3 launcher with 4.4.2 but it gives FC
yep. that was what I first noticed with the update. try putting them into folders.
cheers ~
This really isn't good enough! WTF is Samsung thinking? There should be no reason for removing this functionality? It seems to also be something built within the firmware; it is not launcher related in otherwords, I found this out because when I was running Android 4.3 I had flashed an update to run the S5 launcher and icons theme. When I did this I was still able to hit the menu button and select apps that I wanted to hide. Since upgrading to Kitkat I noticed as you did that I was no longer able to do this, that was ok I just thought to myself "No problem I will just flash the launcher upgrade and theme for S5 on my S3 as I did before and that should allow me to unlock this functionality" NOT CAN DO! Both the stock Kitkat launcher and the S5 theme upgrade do not unlock this functionality unfortunately Someone is going to have to find out where the issue lies and try to port it back? If I find the answer I will make sure I post back here with a fix.

Download the s5 launcher from one of our threads. Flash it. And you have the hidr feature again.
Or just install a 3rd part touchwiz launcher themed app..you have that function
Mi launcher..nova..apex..go...any if these launchers do provide this function
Press Thanks if I helped

navbar glitch when changing launcher

hi, whenever i change huawei home with any different launcher ( i tried many) my navbar keeps turning black then it return transparent every i time i unlock my phone, is that normal? is there any workaround?
I have same glitch so probably its common.Soetimes even on stock launcher (1 of 10) i have same glitch especially with bright wallpaper.
Im using Nova Launcher Prime and I don't experience this problem. Maybe its a bug. You could try flashing the standard firmware, maybe an updated one if possible. Im not an expert about this kind of stuff but flashing stock firmware shouldn't harm your device.

Deleted S7 Launcher ):

As title says I by mistake deleted the launcher. I can't seem to find a link to s7 edge laucher apk that would be great. Or if anyone has any suggestions on how to get it back let me know thanks.
There's a thread in the Apps section that has the Launcher for the S8?

I tried that however all it does it trys to restart. I have no launcher at all on phone atm so its a bit hard to navigate. I'm on eng bootloader and latest update so I can't just reflash firmware as It hasn't been released that I know of.

Well, damn.
I'd try to get a 3rd party installed. If that doesn't work I could only suggest going back to stock

Several Apps Are Crashing - Android 10

<Solved/>
Hey guys, so I recently updated my 6T to Android 10 and installed TWRP + Rooted it. First day, it was all fine but now many of my apps seems to crash unexpectedly like Amazon, Prime Video, OnePlus Community App and so many more!
I flashed the update again via TWRP into both the slots and wiped cache but still no luck. Can someone help me with this? Also, is there any way to go back to Android Pie without losing data? (9.0.17). Thanks in advance.
I don't have any problems with apps crashing but I'm unrooted stock A10
Did you uninstall Android System Webview? The apps that you've mentioned are dependent on it and could be the reason. Install the latest stable Webview and try.

I was having beta version of it. Went back to stable and it fixed. Thanks. Weird how a small apk could bring so much of impact to the whole system.
