Sprint HTC Hero :: Application Launcher Icon Messed Up

Oct 30, 2009

Just wanted to report a potential issue with the Sprint HTC Hero. Me and a few friends have experienced an issue where if you:

1) install an application
2) update it or uninstall and reinstall
3) reboot your phone

Then on many applications, the launcher icon will be messed up as well as the name of the application under the icon. In many of these cases, this renders the application unusable including Google Sky and Pandora. If you then uninstall these applications and reinstall them they will work fine until you reboot your phone again. The problem doesn't seem to exist if you install the application the first time. Only does it exist if you update it and reboot or if you uninstall/reinstall and reboot. There is a fairly lengthy thread on the Android Developers mailing list regarding this. Google seems to think it is unique to the Hero itself since a stock Android device (ie: G1) doesn't have this problem. Other developers are experiencing the same thing.

HTC Incredible :: Launcher Pro Messed Up My Inc

Aug 11, 2010

so after reading all of the great things about launcher pro i downloaded the demo. My home screen froze up and my menu was all messed up. It took me an hour to work my way to the applications list to uninstall it. I couldn't scroll through my menus, my menu and back button stopped working and the only way to navigate through anything was using the track ball in landscape mode. very strange, beware of this app.

Android :: Android - Can't Find Launcher Icon In Menu When Exit Application

Oct 31, 2010

I use a file browser to locate the APK, it installs successful and I can run it OK (when clicking "run" after install completes) However, if I then exit the application, I'm unable to see a launcher for it on my apps menu (where I would expect it, like other apps I've created) At the moment, every time I want to run the app, I first have to re-install it so I can access it, surely there must be a better way?

Sprint HTC Hero :: Stock Launcher Sluggish In 2.0d

Apr 8, 2010

Running 2.0d for several days now and love it. Very quick and stable when using sense ui, however when I switch to the stock launcher some very strange stuff happens.

The thing takes 3-6 seconds to open from sleep, it just hangs on the background image with no icons or nothing. Then after that finally loads there is an even longer delay when you try to pull up the programs.

After you do this the first time the launcher becomes very quick and normal, that is until you put the phone back to sleep, when you put the phone back to sleep and re-open the whole process repeats.

This does not happen with sense, so is autokiller, killing launcher causing it to completely reload everytime? Is there a way to switch it where it kills sense and lets launcher run?

Sprint HTC Hero :: Nexus One Launcher In Market

Mar 16, 2010

If you want the nexus one launcher and you are running 2.1 (damage control/darchdroid) Look for "Helix Launcher" in the market....it is free and can have up to seven screens. Just hit menu, and configure up to seven screens. I just downloaded and it looks pretty sweet so far. I have heard from both 2.0.1 rooted and non rooted users as being able to see this in the market.Please let me know if you can�t. If you have a rooted Android 2.0.1 device and can�t see this app, there is a simple hack you can do to make 2.1 apps viewable and then down loadable in the market.

Sprint HTC Hero :: Launcher Pro Or LP - Email Widget

Sep 14, 2010

I came from Sense UI Based Zen ROM for a period of time, and Fresh before that.

I was able to use the Sense UI Email Widget.

I have sense installed CM6 and LP. I looked to recreate the Sense UI Email Widget, but couldn't find it. So I thought, ok I'll upgrade to LP+ and that will have the Email widget.

Nothing. I have searched the market for Email Widget as well, but don't find anything similar. So what are you, running LP or LP+ using for an Email Widget similar to the one in Sense UI.

Yes, I have the email "shortcut" or "icon" but I want the full 4x4 page widget like I used to have.

Sprint HTC Hero :: DOWNLOAD 2.1 Icons + Nexus Launcher

Feb 8, 2010

For those that have nothing positive to add to the thread, your opinions are not wanted here. Yes, there are other ways to do this same thing. Thank you for your all-knowing knowledge. This thread is a response to this thread. *DESCRIPTION*

Okay, sorry about that first paragraph. Short description, This is being released because of another thread where it was requested. These are my personal mods that I made and use for myself but am now sharing with you all. I havent tried/looked into making a "flashable update zip" so for now this comes as a package of APK files that you will push to your phone via ADB. I have made this slightly easier for you as I have provided all the commands needed that can simply be pasted into a terminal window.......................

Sprint HTC Hero :: Keyboard - No Microphone Icon

Jun 10, 2010

When I rooted to 2.1 I had a microphone by the gear. I also notice a microphone on the Evo. I was having issues with Gmail and switched to the official RUU and now have no microphone icon. That is an amazing feature! So how do I get it back? Diff keyboard or a feature I am missing? It looks like I cannot root anymore (for a while at least). Anyways just having the microphone icon would suffice I don't have to root per se.

Sprint HTC Hero :: Exclamation Icon With Phone Underneath?

Jan 5, 2010

I think I messed my phone up trying to unroot it. When I hold down the "Home" and "Power" key to bring up the system menu it doesn't come up. What does come up is an exclamation triangle with a little phone underneath. I then have to do a battery pull and start it normally. I can, however, bring up the system wipe by holding down "Home", "Back Key", and "Power". I did the wipe and tried once again to bring up the system menu with no such luck. I've downloaded the Sprint RUU 1.56.6 and installed it onto my phone. It has been since this install that I couldn't access the system menu. Has it deleted it? What do I do?! I just want my phone the way it was when I got it.
