I have tried updating my F to three different, new Lollipop ROMs (for different reasons), and none of them will let me add Go SMS and a few other of my regular widgets to the home screen. Is there a general bug with this? I came from the first Lollipop ROM from around March or so and had no such problems with that. But it was getting so full that I couldn't even update apps, and there were a few other things that didn't work as they should, so I needed an update. I have the latest ROM Kies wanted to give me, which is from May, for some reason. There are several newer versions, but that was what Kies gave me. The Nordic update from June didn't help either. Any idea what this can be?
Try installing Nova Launcher and setting that as your default launcher, see if the widgets will add to the homescreen then
It's a million times better than the stock touchwiz launcher anyway
Thanks! I tried that, but it crashed when I put in Go SMS. But Apex worked.

Hello people.
I have a question.
Currently, there are only 3 custom ROMs with Sense UI:
MoDaCo
fyodor v0.5.3.1
5faif
For MoDaCo to get properly working Market Patch, you have to pay 20$ USD for a subscription. Tried many ways but he didn't want to install Market Patch.
Fyodor's version with Sense UI is REALLLLY outdated and newest versions doesn't support Sense UI.
And finally, 5faif ROM is also REALLY, REALLY outdated, also it has for me unwanted swap enabled (don't want to ruin my SD/NAND)
So, I have a question.
For all the other ROMs, there is no Sense UI. So, what are you using as Home alternative? ADW Launcher didn't work for me (Force Closes). Also, what widgets?
ADW works fine here on fyodor rom 0.6.3.1. It's the best home replacement I saw so far.
Maybe you are trying a wrong version (versions >=0.7 are for android 2.x).
Or maybe you are installing it wrong (you have to flash it as update.zip through recovery).
Also, after upgrade from 0.6.3 to 0.6.3.1 i had to reflash ADWlauncher because it was keeping forceclosing
There is a new version of market for donut that works fine. I just installed this version on new 0.6.3 version and I haven't any problem so far.
And there are a lot of other home replacements that work on tattoo(home++, GDE, sweeter home, zeam, ahome...)
GDE is the best of the bunch for me, tried all of the others, and too laggy/slow. GDE is super quick, has best visuals, and some really good features like an application dock.
i installed awd but i have a problem with a g-sensor...it gived me an error everytime I rotated it...i was forced to disable the screen rotation from settings any solution?
CthulhuROM 1.6 is also with Sense UI....
I recommend "Helix Launcher"
I use Zeam, best home ever with Android 1.6 (Android 2.x => LauncherPro)

Hi,
So I just successfully installed JP9 firmware and I have Froyo running perfectly on my Galaxy 3, but there are several Orange apps pre-installed which I want to get rid of + the ugly TouchWiz UI.
So first I'd like to know how to root G3 and then get rid of these two things.
Many thanks for your help.
try titanium backup... it can remove any system file..
Absolute system root is what I used for the exact same thing. To bad you'll have to "pay" for it.
You could also try doing it via adb but for some reason that rom didn't have read\write capability.
Oh and whatever software you use, don't delete oranges home screen selector. For some reason the rom wouldn't launch for me after that.
Oh2 and be sure to have alternative launcher installed before removing any launchers..

Orange ROM is restricted to the user and applications. My suggestion is to upgrade to a much faster ROM of Froyo, that is precooked. This will remove your Orange branding on the phone (i.e. debrand it) and will mean you can remove any unnecessary applications still on the phne). In it's current state, because it's Orange's Firmware, there's not a lot you can do to it.
I'm Orange branded, used z4root, and Super Manager to remove the Orange crap all apart from homescreen selector. I removed Layar and Thinkfree Office too as never used. Left TW on just in case want in the future so don't know if that would break it but the rest is now gone for good and I have 20mb more phone storage
id suggest keeping touchwiz as a backup launcher expecially if you are using a third party launcher
you can get rid of touchwiz by installing launchers like laucher,adw,golauncher etc .

When i got my phone i immediately installed Kyrillos 5.7 so I have no idea how TouchWiz works. Is it that much worse than other launchers that everyone wants it gone?

I installed CM9 08/03/12 edition today, everything is running great, except every now and then the home screen starts flashing, like it's refreshing, but over and over, and I can't access anything. Not even menu option works.
Could it be a problem with Trebuchet? or something else?
Thanks in advance.
1) You can try install Apex launcher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452663
For some peoples works (allegedly)
2) Make downgrade - install nightly 0503
Sorry for my english
Thanks Male_zvire,
I much prefer the Apex Launcher, and it fixed my issue.
Cheers
March 8th build of quarx is buggy.Either install 5th march which is very stable or wait for the next nightly.
i installed apex launcher ... it solved the problem fer a while .. but still i have this reloading of homescreen problem from time to time.. its really frustrating i have to wait 5 - 10 mins so it turns back normal.. also occasional OS crashes leading to reboots are there ... i hope this issue is of 8th march build only and the next build will be more stable.. developers please note this issue while releasing the next one!!
I have the Sprint Note 4, 5.1.1, SM-N910P, was on rooted (CF) stock OK1. I have flashed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/note...ltexx-t3177324) as well as these gapps (http://downloads.sonic-developers.co...n74-Latest.zip) last night. I seem to be having some issues with the sonic launcher where it will shutdown when try to launch all apps, create a widget, or enter settings. IT'll work fine and for no apparent reason it will just stop. I had to FC and Delete all sonic data to get it to work again. This happened 2x. Not a big deal as I just went back to LL.
My big issue is the stock messaging app receives messages, but fails when trying to send any. Enjoying the rom but not sure I can live with that. There also seems to be some other little oddities... Have I flashed the wrong gapps possibly? I am pretty new to this all so I'm having a problem finding the proper info for my device specifically. Any help is appreciated, thank you!
I tested many oreo roms but quick tile doesn't work, on some camera too and on few of them, bluetooth address was 00:00:00:00:5A:AD and it enables after 6 or 7 seconds
I also tested the stock oreo rom but if you delete chrome or modify it, many Google apps stops working
Well, after trying many times stock oreo rom and other roms, i finally decided to go to stock oreo, but i feel kinda limited on things like dark theme and some few things, substratum didn't help
