A few questions...
Anyone use the stock photo album widget? I have one on one of my screens for when my phone is in its dock at work. It works fine when it is in the dock bc It's charging, and I have it set to keep the screen on when charging. However, when it is out of the dock, and the screen goes off, when I turn it back on, the most recent image is all it shows and it will not go into rotation. I have to open it back up and say "OK" to my selected pictures to get it working again. I don't have any battery saving or task killing aps, so I know I don't accidentally have it set to auto end on screen off. All I have is the stock Samsung Task Manager.
Know of any fixes for this? Maybe try another widget like it on the market?
Also, I came from an Atrix and they had a task manager that I just simply loved. It was smooth and simple and I could add what I wanted to an auto end list. As far as I know, Samsungs T.M. doesn't allow this, and all the apps I find on the market do more than I want it to. I don't want something like Juice defender or what not. Just something simple that allows me to put stuff in an auto end list when screen goes blank. Does stock Samsung T.S. do this and I am just not seeing it? Any 3rd party apps you suggest for this function?
Last thing... Know of any widgets that ACCURATELY show info like CPU speed and temp that is transparent? I like a very materialistic look and I am not liking the black background of the Antutu widgets.
Something that would look good with this...

I have issues with some applications getting cut off at the bottom of the screen when using roms such as the AT(HoneyComb)RIX 3.4 EXT4 or the Alien one. I can still scroll to the bottom of the application using the rest of the screen but there will still be part of the screen gone the whole time. Off the top of my head it does this with my SSF4AE guide app, on every single page. Also using handcent I have a similar problem; the background is not appearing fully when I go to my list of text messages
Ive been using Alien for weeks and dont have this problem on any on my 700+ apps, including Handcent which is prob the one I use more than any other.
I had the SSF4AE app problem on both but the handcent problem was only on AT(HoneyComb)RIX 3.4 EXT4

I just thought about this, my photobucket app has appeared to be shrunk ever since Gingerbread, you can see it doesn't quite take up my screen.. But it sounds like you are having the opposite problem, the app is too big to be displayed on the screen right?
Edit: i think its not showing correctly because of my photobucket privacy settings.. But it is just slightly smaller than the screen, it has a black border all the way around. Also I dont know what SSF4AE is.
Its just a guide for a fighting game that I use frequently.
It's supposed to look like this http://i.imgur.com/NaI1e.jpg
but it looks like this http://i.imgur.com/oDByS.jpg
I didn't notice until now that you mentioned your photobucket app being smaller that the sides are cut off a little too as well in this. I just took a picture from the web and edited it btw.
This thread says to download "spare parts" and toggle compatibility mode, Im gonna try that now and let you know.
Edit: Yup that worked for me! that should fix the problem for you too. Thank you for asking the question because it motivated me to find this simple fix. Im gonna hit your thanks button for that, if it works for you feel free to do the same lol. Also, strangly enough Spare Parts was also one of those apps that had a scaling prob haha, but its fixed now in that app as well. I cant say for sure yet if unchecking the "compatibility mode" causes any negative effects on other apps but it for sure fixed the scaling issue in photobucket and spare parts. Additionally, the "fancy input animation" is pretty cool it makes the keyboard slide up instead of just appear. Enjoy.
Yup that fixed my problem with the SSF4AE guide app. Thanks a lot . The handcent issue is still there but it might just be a problem with the theme..
Just found out about IIDA Home Launcher after looking through the screenshots thread. Made a CWM zip to try it out, it's attached.
Original Thread
The original download was the entire system/app dump of the Xperia(i think). I cut it down to only the IIDA apks, nothing get over written so you can delete the files after installing if you decide to ditch it.
My first impressions, it's really cool. It's like WP7 Metro but the app drawer is just a downward scroll instead of an icon.
But we'll have to work on it a bit to make it work on the Atrix. Also we'll have to figure out how to add locations to the lists, right now it seems to be only Japanese cities. And the email tab doesn't work. Also, we'll probably want to silence the beep on touch, but that's probably as easy as replacing a sound file with silence.
Here's a few screens:

I used this launcher for a couple days just before CM7 was updated. It was fun finding pictures and "flare" but it was also kind of buggy. At one point the calendar just disappeared and when I reflashed I forgot how frustrating moving all of my apps from the bottom to their respective sections was. Moments later CM7 came out and I left it in the dust. But I'm back on Darkside now since I need Webtop. I'll definitely give it another go.

This is awesome, i cant wait.
the weather app(the one with japanese cities only) is a different game, it pulls the information from a 2 different websites one for area and one for prefecture, we do not use prefectures in America so im kinda scratching my head to see how we are going to make this app work , the twitcheck app does not deodex properly according to another member who tried and i can't seem to find the facebook check or the music tile for the launcher, the Launcher itself is more than stable and it can be used on a daily basis.
check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313247&page=10 there is a conversation between me and another member who is working on the same launcher too.
Hi all,
This bug has been bugging me for quite a while now, probably since July with whatever ROM version from back then right up to XWKK5 now.
On my dock, I have the usual Phone, Contacts, Go SMS Pro and Applications icons.
However, when I finish using a memory-intensive app (such as my browser) and go back to the launcher's homescreen, it will sometimes reload the homescreen. The issue is that during the reloading, the dock icons will show up as Navigation (Navigon), Linpack, Quadrant and Applications! Once the reloading of the launcher homescreen is done after about 3 seconds, the icons then go back to being Phone, Contacts, Messaging and Applications again.
I noticed that while it is showing Navigation, Linpack and Quadrant icons clicking on them actually opens up that specific app! So it is not an issue of icon appearance but the actual shortcut as well!
Anyone had this problem before? Pics below:

No one has seen this happening before on their SGS2?
I do... But I don't have a solution

I only see this when rebooting the phone..for around 2-3 seconds.

Thanks for confirming, at least I am not alone. So far I've managed to avoid it by rearranging the icons in the app drawer. It's weird as to why it would work in that way.
Edit: Didn't work
I see this regularly - different icons that get replaced by the 'real' dock icons after a second or two.
I see this too. It happens a lot for me, and from stock to the newest versions, including leaks and the KK5 ROMs. It happens a lot more for me because of Widgetlocker.
Is there any way to keep TouchWiz Launcher from exiting from memory? I suspect this is why this keeps happening.
Clear TwLauncher
Go to settings> Applications>Manage Applications> All> TW Launcher and click on clear data. TW will reset with stock arrangement of widgets. As for app drawer, everything will be in alphabetical order. If you have any folders, it will be gone. But i think it will fix the problem of the icons rearranging itself.
Happens sometimes to me aswell. I solved by flashing a custom kernel
Anyome tried this? I don't have my phone at the moment to try it. Let me know if it helps anyone out.

It seems to have reduced the frequency of reloads, but it still happens.
I can't seem to find a good screenshot of it (and the only person I know with a tablet's sleeping, so I'll post one tomorrow if I get the chance), but in Honeycomb and the tablet version of ICS, when you scroll on your current home screen to another screen you can see light-blue glowy outlines for the icons on the screen you're scrolling to.
Is it possible to replicate that effect in ICS for a phone? Would that have to be something done at the homescreen level, or something deeper? The Android tablets always had my attention with this effect.
Thankies! =]
Apex launcher, free in market, lets you have that animation. It is like ICS stock launcher with a lot more options. Choose trasition effect as tablet from Apex home screen settings.
I know exactly what you are talking about. I suggest you maybe contact the APEX launcher guys (Android Does) and see if that is even possible. I like it too and think it would be cool on the phone level.
Wow, you guys replied quickly... Thank you both. =D

It sort of does; it has the outline of the homescreen that moves around, which looks kinda' cool. However, it's still missing the part where the icons and widgets get that same outline treatment and then as they move in, slowly become visible.

Will do; I just wish Apex Launcher would let me move my homescreens around when I'm in the preview mode. xD It's the one thing I preferred Nova Launcher for, but Apex has improved lots since when I first used it (when it first came out).
Landscape mode?

Hello. Yesterday, i was searching for an launcher (NOT a home launcher} which allow me to run apps more quickly from any app I'm running at an moment.
I found this app named SwiftOpen. It's thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-swiftopen-fast-launcher-beta-t2871523 .
It allow you to add apps shortcuts, even some settings like wifi, so you can put wifi on more easy. You swipe from right (you can change the place from where to swipe) and the launcher come.Read the whole description of it's thread. Oh, and don't forget to press thanks button to the developer
Review / My opinion:
In my opinion it does a great job. I don't even have to press home button to go in another app. It use about 15 MB ram. Last night i had 58% battery and i kept this app running in background and today, in the morning, i had same battery percent. So, it seems that it doesn't drain battery.
Now i don't even need to use the home button, as i placed an shortcut of "home" in the bottom left
I downloaded the latest version released. I encountered one bug: when i want to change the place of an shortcut, the app crash, but the shortcut get moved.
Here is an screenshot. You see an white square in the right, it's because i kept my finger there to take an screenshot, otherwise the launcher dissapear. By the way, you can add more shortcuts, even Tasker ones !!!

btw i doubt that our SMART phone will stand this kind of multi tasking if i have FB installed
Also found this app recently, it's the best launcher by a long shot. I have a G4 and I hate the softkeys taking up screen space, as you mentioned this app means you don't need any other buttons or home button.
Thanks for the tip to put this launcher in the place of the home button, I had it on the side but now that you mention it that's naturally the best spot to put it.
Do you use it on Lollipop and use the Alt-tab feature?
That's not working for me on 5.1, think it's a lollipop issue?
