I have Helix Lanucher installed on my Droid 2.1, and have had it for about a month now. And all of a sudden today, I am getting CONSTANT force closes, to the point where I can't even get to the settings, or market to uninstall it.
Is there another way to remove it from my phone?

Are there any major benefits with having Helix Launcher 2? I installed it on my Incredible and it really lags with almost everything I do.

View 9 Replies View Relatedhelix launcher 2 now works on android 2.1. Do not buy clockworkmod launcher. The link is Donators' Repo Home.
Step 1:EDIT EDIT EDIT Click the download link and rename .php to .apk.
Step 2 Download the beta on your phone.
Step 3: Go into astro and find the download in your downloads file. Step 4: install and whalah.
It wont let you install it directly from the downloads page for some reason. Dont set as default your first time incase of FC loop.
I have helix launcher(the first one) and I wanted to get 5 screens instead of three so I went to configure it and took off all my widgets like it told me to do. It restarted and I got a FC notification. It's set as my primary home and I can't get the message to stop popping up. I tried restrting my phone several times but before I can press the home button or any button the message pops up again and there is nothing I can do. Is there anything I can do to get past this FC notification?

View 1 Replies View RelatedLast week I installed Helix, because I wanted more home screens. Got that, and I also like the extra buttons across the bottom, very nice. the phone is laggy when I use Helix. I can switch back to the standard Launcher, and no lag, so it is helix. Is there some settings I can play with to help with the lag? is there another launcher I can try that has 5 screens (or more) and less lag?
View 16 Replies View RelatedNo not the OTA. My Helix Launcher decided to force close ALOT. Back to back. I rebooted my phone to no avail. I pulled the battery and nothing was fixed. I tried to pull the app drawer and select the Uninstaller app, but it would force closed before I could open it.
Then I had a revelation: I have the Market as one of my shortcut apps on my Helix dock. I opened it up and went to my downloads, and opened the Uninstaller app. Uninstalled Helix, and now I am good to go.
I tried to switch from 5 screens down to 3 and it all started.
my sense launcher on my DINC just crashed on me and I had to restart my phone. Anybody else have this problem?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI got my Huawei Honor at christmas. It worked fine for the first few months.The stock launcher started crashing. It required a reboot when it crashed. It happened fee times a day.
Then, one morning, it crashed again. As usual, I rebooted and put it in my pocket. One hour later, I noticed my phone was hot. It d been stuck on a reboot for an hour. It was not the battery. The battery was cold. But the bottom part where sd and sim cards are was burning hot. When I took the battery off, the phone cooled down quickly. It had it's warranty left, so I took it back to the store and they sent it to repair. The phone was reparied in under a week, and they said they had to update the OS. It is still the same 4.0.3. Keeps crashing and launcher and all custom launchers from play store keep crashing. how to root this phone.
And is there big chance of bricking this phone?
Is there a way of removing an activity from the home launcher by itself at runtime? I mean removing Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER from it's properties or something similar.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was looking through the source code for launcher in git for the first time after asking this question. I got the UNINSTALL_SHORTCUT to work. However, this seems to remove it from the home screen.Maybe my vocabulary is not correct, but I assumed the "home" screen was the thing that displays widgets and shortcuts that you can fling left and right to see all 3 screens.set in the AndroidManifest.xml.What I need to do is remove the icon from the "launcher" not just removing a shortcut from the home screen.I don't know if I can programatically over-write what I have set in the Manifest. That is, I need it to initially be displayed in the "Launcher" but upon receiving a certain intent, to hide itself.In essence, to programatically remove the "android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" from it's category list set in the AndroidManifest.xml
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am creating an alternative keyboard. In order to help users understand how to set up the IME after it is installed I have added a simple Main Activity that appears in the Application Launcher with set up and usage instructions. I also have a preferences Activity and I want the user to have an option to hide or show the setup instructions Activity if they don't want to see it any more. My question is how best I can do this? I am assuming if it is possible it would require overriding the IntentFilter for the setup instruction Activity. I have experimented with this and read through the Intents and IntentFilter documentation but I can't see how to do this.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having some serious indecision. I have a Moto Droid running 2.1. I have DxTop installed and love it However, I find that screens space is becoming a little cramped, and the expanding it to a 5 screen set up basically gets rid of the functionality that attracted me to DxTop in the first place (the quick navigation diamond shaped desk top set up).Yesterday I decided to test drive HelixLauncher2. I found the program to give me much of the functionality I had lost with DxTop, as my widget use increased. Instead of 5 screen ins a cross set up, now I have 7 screens side by side, but with a quick jump that allows me to go from one to any other in one move. Right off the bat I was able to organize my widgets and shortcuts in a way that made more sense. The program also added the really cool 2.1 app drawer from the Nexus 1, which I enjoy. The downside is that screen rotation doesn't seem as responsive as in DxTop (it works but has lag), the App drawer cannot be organized by categories (it's only alphabetical), and the program (though smaller an leaner) is not perfectly stable (It has already closed on me once, but when it crashes it just reverts back to itself).So my question is, should I stay with DxTop which is no longer as functional as I would like, but is far more stable and responsive, and allows me to organize my app drawer by categories; or should I go with HelixLauncher2, which is much more configurable, is easy to navigate, demands less of my system, but is also not as stable, lags a little, and does not allow me to organize my apps in the drawer.What I wouldn't give for a snappy and stable version of HelixLauncher2 with an option to organize the app drawer.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy HTC Hero keeps crashing and not sure what the heck is going on. It happens when I am in the middle of a phone call. It just locks up and can not do anything about it. I have to take the back off and remove the battery. Then I replace the battery and power on the Android logo comes up but the little robot doesn't. I have to then take the battery out again and redo the power cycle.
Does anyone have ANY idea why this happening?
Everytime i open up the dialer on my x it works fine in the sense of letting me dial a number. However, if i switch to the favorites or contacts tabs at the top my phone will exit out of the dialer back to the home screen. I hope this is something that can be fixed over an update. Btw if i go directly to contacts from the home scrren it works fine.
View 20 Replies View RelatedHas anyone else experienced this, when i try to use my bluetooth headset the phone after a few minutes switches itself off (yes i did try a search!). In addition to that people have been telling me that they can hear my voice breaking up a lot more since switching to this phone.
I'm really surprised that for such a high end device it's pretty naff for basic phone calls. I love it for everything but using it as a phone. My Hero was much clearer and BB Bold clearer still and neither of which had problems with Bluetooth.
How does Helix Server work with android application? In android developers site i found that we can assign the url to MediaPlayer to stream the audio/video. But there is no specification about buffer size.. do i need to do any more coding on server side or in android application to get the streaming work for a specific buffer rate?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am on my third exchanged phone for a variety of reasons I have a 41/09 device that is repeatedly crashing whenever I try to compose an email with the native gmail app.I have duplicated it over and over again. There is a lot of debate as to whether these crashing phones are experiencing a hardware or a software problem.This seems like a software problem, and could be related to how the new 2.0 OS deals with memory, etc.I would like to think that an software update would fix it.There is no doubt that Verizon and Google are aware of the high number of phones that crash software.I bought my phone at Walmart, and they are about done with my replacement requests. My store and the next closest store who sells Verizon is out of the Droid.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently switched to chomp from handcent because I like the way chomp looks better than handcent and they both have basically the same functionality.
Well chomp just had an update and it is now force closing everytime i turn my phone on and will not work at all.
I have not tried to uninstall and reinstall because I just got it customized perfectly and there is no guarantee that will work. I will do that if/when someone says it has worked foe them.
That said, has anyone had this problem happen to them after the new update?
Mine force close every 5mins always crashing very slow completely broken

TWLauncher keeps crashing the phone and I cannot get the phone to a home screen. I tried the recovery mode, but nothing is working.

View 2 Replies View RelatedRecently when I use the stock/default music player, when I try to pause or stop it, it keeps playing. If I press the hard home key, it will go to the home screen but the music will keep playing even if I press pause. If I am still in the music player app and press the back button, it goes to a black screen and keeps playing. Today I tried to shut down my phone to get it to stop and it kept playing for a couple minutes and took much longer than usual for the phone to shut down.
Do I just have to use a different music player? Is the default one really buggy or something? Not sure if it has anything to do with it but I only noticed it after I updated to 2.2.
