Shortcut to another launcher

So I've spent the morning trying to do this, with no success. I installed the default ICS launcher through the OTA app, and I want to set it up so that when you unlock the phone, you start at lightning launcher. (it's the default for home) It has various text options like "phone", "Messaging", and "Browser". I want to make it so one of those options is "Launcher", and when you press it, it will send you to the default ICS launcher. Any help with this? I'm thinking maybe I can get a widget that starts the other launcher, and then just create that widget in lightning.... I don't know how you'd do that, though. Is there a widget where you can customize exactly what it does? I know in some launchers (ADW, LauncherPro, etc.) you can create a shortcut to an app or a function of the app. That would work, you could set up a shortcut to start the other launcher. Does anyone know how you can do shortcuts like that on lightning?

Any ideas or other help is appreciated! :D
[Vibrant Android Development] shrapnelx:
Any reason why you wouldn't just change your default launcher from lightning to whatever else you want to use? It sounds overly convoluted to launch one launcher from another on a regular basis.

I dirty flashed 4.2. You?

Any plans for JellyBeans Kravind ??
[Vibrant Android Development] McSqueeb:
I have also experienced this, and I have flashed 4.2 clean. The wifi hotspot seems to not give out addresses in "password mode" and in "open mode" just toggles on and off continuously.

Mobile AP Issue with 4.2

If you mean that the Mobile AP is not allowing other devices to connect, then I also have this issue. It was on my rooted fire that couldn't connect so I wasn't sure which device was the issue but after I downgraded to 4.1, it started to work.

I pulled a logcat from the kindle which I am not sure is helpful but if anyone wants it, I could post. I downgraded because of the battery issues so I wasn't looking to hard at this issue on my phone before the downgrade.
[Vibrant Android Development] OmnipotentPilot:
Just thought it would be an interesting visual interface. Keep it simple when you only want to use your phone to call or text, then start the other launcher for more involved use.

Probably the best ICS Rom there is

I've been using this Rom for a couple months and am very pleased with it, only issue I consistenly have is the text messaging process seems to die all the time... If my gf texts me and I go to reply I have to back all the way out and restart it, same thing with her phone too... Is there a way to modify so it keeps running and I don't have to constantly go back 2-3 screens to reply to people?
[Vibrant Android Development] ajster1989:
No go for me

any reason this wiped the data on my wife's SD Card, she lost all of her titanium backup files, pictures and music after "trying" to install this rom, and then when the rom boots up it came to a black screen with only the status bar, the launcher never started. After the screen timed out and I pressed the power button, it showed the lock screen but then went back to the black screen.

Everyone be careful when flashing this rom, titanium backup isn't enough, make sure your copy all your SD contents to your computer as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] androidmonkey:
Ive never had any ROM wipe my SD card. Are you sure you didnt accidentally do this in CWR? Like anything you do with flashing ROMs, always backup!

Are you using the default SMS app? I use GoSMS, try that out.
[Vibrant Android Development] ajster1989:
Positive i didn't, i factory reset, and that's it... I have been flashing for several years, but never had any sd card issues, this wiped her nandroid and titanium backups:crying:
[Vibrant Android Development] androidmonkey:
If you haven't written anything to your SD card yet, you could try and recover the files. Use this software, I've had success with it on camera SD cards

Have you tried Slim ICS? I can tell you that this is the best, most stable ROM I've used since Bionix. Love it!
[Vibrant Android Development] phone_noobie:
I havent, thats why im here trying to get some feedback into what should I try next. So how is it different than the ICS ROM I have? Is there less overhead on it making it quicker? Is it just enough to scrape through? I like to stick to a ROM for a while instead of flashing every other week so I want some reliability
[Vibrant Android Development] joe98200:
You should just flash it and see for yourself, but I can say that Slim is the only ICS ROM that I've consistently stayed on for more than 2 months.
[Vibrant Android Development] androidmonkey:
Trust me, try it out. Anyway, you didnt post what ICS ROM you have.
[Vibrant Android Development] Smartassassin:
What rom are you coming from?

The launcher will come up after a reboot, but, you can long press on the screen to access stuff.

[Vibrant Android Development] ajster1989:
I tried it first from cm9 then from cm7 then from 2.1 stock, all 3 times it wiped my internal sd card, and started to boot loop, I had to keep the zip on the external card when it boot looped I was able to do volume keys into recovery and reflash the zip again, but it never installed completely, I let it settle, and rebooted several times... I was able to push go launcher onto it, but then discovered that the keyboard didn't get installed either :banghead: so back to cm9 I went... and yes I tried to redownload it... I'll give it a go on the next update maybe...

Copy from to SD card, system restore and wipe system, flash rom. The first flash changed it to clockwork touch recovery and that's when it formatted the sd card. So i mounted the sd in clockwork mod, copied over the rom again, then I had to flash again before it acted like it was doing a full install. Progress bar got to 70%ish then it said done and I rebooted..... I got the same results no matter what from I tried... tried this from stock and cm7 and cm9... hope that's enough detail.....

Just want to get the bugs worked out....

Hey, thanks for this rom!

I have slim 4.0.4 installed, looking at upgrading to 4.2 if possible. Had a couple quick questions: do slim upgrades wipe personal data, texts, contacts, etc? Should I go to 4.1 first?

Thanks for any help
[Vibrant Android Development] iwillkillyou:
You should always make a backup before you do anything. But yes your going to lose that. Just go ahead to the latest version.
[Vibrant Android Development] CBung:
Thanks for the info, I'll backup everything before upgrading. Do most people use the internal app for that whatever it's called, or do it through CWR?

Since you want to backup your apps and such use titanium backup. You would typical use CWR to do a nand backup.

Happy customer Results

SLIM v4.2 with Sub zero [latest] Works awesome!

Listed below are some of the things to make it so great!

Some things to do to also attain these results:

1] Turn off 3g use the 2g toggle and turn off roaming data

2] Turn off wifi unless your actively using the device

3] Turn off all notification pulls IE: twitter gmail facebook G+ etc etc etc Pull from wifi when your useing the device!

4] Turn off BLN Major battery killer : seriously if your that important you have a person for this...And you would be hard pressed to prove the missed txt is THAT important! to continue to use this battery drain!

5] Turn off GPS most [some] Vibrants this is a non working waste of battery!

6] Turn off screen 2minutes, lock screen 15 seconds

Ok I may have missed some tweaks I have set, but the above are the big ones I have set/do on my vibrant.

My typical usage:

1] with 15 to 30 mins aprox. phones calls

2] with aprox. 20 + texts

3] brightness on full blast [I tried to lower/auto mode it..cant do it!]

4] use wifi for all downloads/pulls/emails/updates etc etc etc

5] Bluetooth for driveing 1 to 3 hours daily

6] 2 breaks and 30 minute lunch, solid surfing/twitter/email/youtube/more phone calls/more txt messages

Positive Results

1] Very slow battery drain

2] By lunch time with phone calls and 30 minutes -After lunch 75% to 85% left!

3] second break more of txts/twitter/ etc 60% to 75% left!

4] bluetooth [maybe 10% drag/used]

5] End of day walking out to car I rarely have less than 40 to 50% left!

Slim has been my daily driver since v3. I have tried the other ICS roms here and there, Nothing compares to SLIM! and since using subzero the results just kick a**!

At this point with all of the awesomeness of slim and sub zero. I am considering getting one of those battery pack extenders, in other words this Vibrant still has a lot of life left in it and with a bigger battery I would tweak "on" some of the stuff I turn off to make it last all day on the stock battery!

Caveats:

My vibrant's gps is one of the early ones that is complete crap. [The Perfect phone for a criminal that dont want to be found!] I do not use voodoo, or any screen color tweakers. I do have it oc'd to 1200 max and 200 min with ondemand rules. I run "Battery Spy" and "Cpu Spy". 7 screens, 8 x 8 shortcut grid, Zeam launcher [just my opinion here but the new one blows - thats the only FAIL in the rom], "Multipicture Live Wallpaper" set to 10 seconds/random, and I use amazon app tool to d/l daily the free app. 45 apps installed [that includes the google crap and the stuff I use] Downloaded = 380mb | Running = 288mb | 97mb free | Apps running [shown] 11, And a FFC installed Rev2 [sideways :(] But hey it still works.

Obviously your results may vary, But I cant thank the SLIM Developers and of course all of the people that help keep the vibrant "Vibrant" :) Enough!

Awesome Work!

Awesome Rom!

Keep Up the good Work Guys!

I got MMS working !

After spending 4 phone calls to customer support 2 on level 1, and 2 on level 2.

They finally got the mms working [T-mobile-usa] for me!

First before doing anything take screen shots of all of your apn settings and network settings, just incase this dont work....you cant blame me for not warning you to do a backup!

1] Clear out all text messages [backup backup backup!]

2] Get into the apn settings:

a] Hit menu and reset to default

b] Reclick/tick the box for T-mobile apn Also verify T-mobile is the network and that data roaming is on [T-mobile dont charge for roaming-in usa]

3] Reboot the phone VERY IMPORTANT!

4] Should be working now!

In briefly trying to look at the changes the default reset did..[no I didnt take pics first :(] I can see a lot of changes to some of the things the first tech had me add...were completely blank now...so they didnt work! [duh]

Anyways the above should do the trick!

Good Luck!

Please hit thanks If It helped!

...don't know if this is what's causing your issue, but may be worth a check: Settings - Device Settings - In-Call Volume Controls gives you a bunch of options to boost your Volumes AND the Mic input levels. I have my Mic settings all at 12 and didn't get any complaints (yet?).
[Vibrant Android Development] mryounghc:
im going to try this because my speakerphone is louder than a mammajamma and everybody complains about a bad noise when it is on. it is kind of hard for me to understand also. i think it is too loud you know what, i think it may be the settings i have. i am using volume+

Yesterday in my office I checked Slim site and it displayed JB...to my surprise I didn't even bother to check the supported devices so I downloaded the two files device I9000 and Common...and installed it on my Vibrant...

It runs smooth no lag wifi , sms, mms, google market after changing DPI working

Issue is the same as other users are facing the Loud Sound when calling on my phone

people think that I am standing in a nearby Heavy Machinery... can't control that disturbance from my end ANY IDEAS ?? as i can't find Mic volum control in it...

I had never gotten it on any version of this ROM, then yesterday morning I had a full-strength signal but no data. I turned mobile data on and off with no effect. I switched to airplane mode and back with no effect. I rebooted, and immediately got a high-speed data connection.

Hasn't happened again, though.

Ok, maybe I'm sucking but I've been pulling my hair out for hours. I'm trying to get my normal phone contacts that were backed up on googles servers to sync back onto my phone with this rom. I'd love right now to go back to my old fall back roms on 2.2 so I can make it through this weekend but because someone thought they were being smart and of the recoveries I can get on the phone now don't have the proper code to flash older roms. I tried the fix listed on the slim site in the android terminal but it didnt have an effect.

Also the battery life so far with this has been pathetically bad, like ginger bread bad, but its so fast and smooth I really want to see if I can push through that. If I'm lucky someone I'm with this weekend will have a micro usb cable and I can odin back to stock and get back to a froyo rom, unless someone on here has a solution.

I am seeing that if you already have a ICS build, you dont have to odin back to stock. Well there where do I go from here? I created a nandriod backup, used titanium to backup all my apps and used SMS Backup so back up all my text messages. Anything else I need to back up? Any help would be appreicated

PS. Keep in mind, the ICS I flashed was my first one and its been ages so Im no guru so a step by step would be the best help for me

[Vibrant Android Development] Leafy_duk:
I found that the first time signing into a new network you need to click on the actual word wifi on the screen to open the wifi menu in order to choose the network. For some reason it doesnt automatically popup when you start wifi.

Since it doesnt seem possible to get my contacts back from google's back with an ics rom looks like I'm going to odin back to stock and then copy all the contacts to my sim card if I have the room. And then get back on this rom and see what I can do for getting more than an hour of screen and data on time out of a charge.
[Vibrant Android Development] joe98200:
I'm not sure what's causing it. I've never had WiFi issues on 4.2.
