Whenever i exit any app, this launcher restarts, which it would since it is not locked into memory .. as a result the app list keeps refreshing again and again and its very annoying..

So can any1 tell me how i can lock this launcher into memory, since the app app list refreshing problem will be solved most probably.. thank you!! :)

Re: [App][2.2+]Launcher8[19jan][v1.2.6]

I wonder if its b/c the name of the app is different. When I installed the update and home button it shows both launchers (launcher8 & launcher wp8) and it dosen't replace the older version after its installed. No worries though I just set it up liked the older version and then uninstalled the older one. Oh and the update is beautiful thanks:D

live tiles. I'd like to be able to make custom colors for the tiles. For launcher 7 I was able to change the transparency opaqueness for the tiles for a really cool effect.

Found this Launcher few months ago and this thread today. Read thru most/some of the posts and was happy that found it that late - so avoiding most of the growing pains :victory:

Actually - this launcher was my last hope or try before to ditch i9000 and android together. I hav tried I guess most of the launcher out there - GO, Holo, Miui, Touch etc but my i9000 did keep crashing like 2-3 times a day - some day better some day worst. After Launcher8 it did get more bearable - few on the week. Then I did factory reset and now i have only default and this launcher and I hardly get any random resets.

I have experienced some of the hiccups mentioned here about this launcher - some FCs. folder problems but not much - this ride has been very smooth compering my previous ones on that phone.

I have not be able to found sreenshot utility that can capture FULL screen of that launcher from top to the bottom. If anyone have any ides let me know. Thanks for advance :angel:

Alltough my home screen is pretty "spartan" I hav efound that some widgets work much better then other with this launcher. I will share the market links and hope You find them useful. I havent decided yet between Business Calendar and CalenGo yet so dont give up those links. For weatehr I use Estonian apk from EMHI but this shows only local stations - so - no use for wider audience - but its VERY good.

There You go - have a nice experiance :)

[Android Apps and Games] dzendeh:
Well I dug a little and came up with a solution for my own problem:

On my Galaxy S3, the database-file is called "anallLauncher.db" and is located in the following folder: /data/data/com.lx.launcher9/databases/

You need an SQLite Manager in order to modify the database file. For me, I used the SQLite-plugin for Firefox. You need to rename the file to "anallLauncher.sqlite" and transfer it to your pc, where you can open it. The table is called "cell". You can find the widgets in the row called "cellType"; the value is 98306. The best way to revive a broken presentation of Launcher8 is to delete all the widgets (well, that worked for me pretty well).

Maybe you use that app (WP8) and it will work for you?

Good luck!!

I stumpled upon this launcher yesterday.

I like the WP8 appearance and was glad to find such a launcher.

But...

Is it possible to get the Dashclock widget (+AnyDash) working with the launcher? I managed to disable the WP8 lockscreen, but it won't use my Dashclock settings, only the core settings from my Nexus 4. The widget is simply amazing and if i cannot use it anymore, i will have to use a launcher which is compatible. There is an "Add widget" function, but it won't let me add the widget to the lockscreen.

Apart from this (for me big) issue the launcher is running smoothly enough and i had only one minor app crash since installing.

Maybe i have overlooked some options or there is superior (paid) version of the launcher or an alternative?
