What is Wrong with the Font/Text on my Homescreens? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys, has anyone seen this before? I'm running 4.0.4 stock, rooted and deodexed. I customized the launcher slightly as you can see (removed search bar at the top and added the BMW logo at the bottom). It has been fine for months, now all of a sudden I am getting this. At first a reboot would fix it, but now that doesn't even seem to do it. Please help!

something with your launcher getting corrupted. I remember it happening back when there were alpha ports of ICS for the G2 (and similar devices).

how do i fix? do i need to find a new launcher2.apk or just reinstall my current one?

Tried reflashing my modified launcher2.apk with no luck...anyone know of any fixes?

No one has seen this before?

It happens to my stock 4.0.4 nexus every now and again. I'm sorry but I don't have any answers for you, but at least you know you are not alone!

The troubleshooting steps I'd try would be:
1. Change fonts.
2. Install a different launcher, such as Apex or Nova.
If changing fonts doesn't fix it, and Apex doesn't have the same issue, then it's definitely the launcher. If the other launcher has the same problem, I don't know what to tell you.

Just installed Apex and I'm actually happier now than before. The only thing I miss is the BMW roundel logo as my app drawer launcher icon at the button of the screen (as seen in the pic above) otherwise, it is working even better than before. Hopefully it stays this way!

You can still have the BMW logo on Apex. Long-press any icon, edit, touch the icon, see your replacement options.

If I understand it correctly, that's the launcher (app drawer) from Nexus One.
would like to see 5 icons across rather than four. But not sure what else it does lol

How have you had it working, i.e. in the sense that it looks and acts like a nexus one.

We have already found that you just pull the apk from a nexus1 rom and install it onto the desire.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6002164&postcount=80
Then you goto applications and remove htcsense from being default and force close it. when you next go to the home screen it asks which one you want to use (htcsense or launcer2)
EDIT: You can also install Gallery3d from the nexus this way

But if you just install launcher2.apk from N1 it's not functioning properly -- icons are small, etc.

ADW Launcher?

Is there a specific reason why I can't see ADW Launcher in the Market?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Should be able to, I have it installed from the market.

The search engine for the market is not that great. Try reformatting the way you type ADW launcher, or just search launcher and look through the list. At one time I think it was "ADW.Launcher" but I am not positive.
Its there if you just type adw in the search but there's so many friggen themes for it that its kinda hidden next to the bottom of the list. Great launcher...

Try searching for anderwebs. That should make it easier.

i couldnt find it at first but it is definitely in there its just so hard to find because of the overwhelming amount of themes and stuff lol.
Just scan this image with a bar code scanner

Fix what? The fact that it is the 50th on the list because of all the themes? I don't think he can fix that.

Fix the way the launcher is set up in the market search. It needs a new tag to differentiate it from themes. Whatever, I was just trying to help you help yourself.

This should work. It's actually named "ADW.Launcher" in market.
I have found it, installed it, but selected the default launcher, and now i cant get back to ADW no matter what i try. I have uninstalled and installed, and when i go to "manage applications", the only option it gives me is to uninstall. All the other options are greyed out. Any suggestions?

Thanks. Anderwebs told me the same thing.

[Q] No status bar on lock screen

I searched but nothing besides launcher pro and widget locker which gave me too many fc's so im back at the beginning i want to hide the status bar on lock screen hopefully someone knows how to do this or know of a stable app that helps if not thanks anyway.
I don't know is this enabled on all rom's but on Calkulin you just need to scroll up on top of the screen and status bar hide (same thing to show),
For Menu bar you scroll up on the bottom and menu hide, you scroll down at (same place) bottom and menu show up again.
Hope I didn't misunderstood your question, and again hope all rom's have this enabled.
Take a look

Have you tried upgrading to Mik 4.4 and see if it still does? Could nand your current set up. Load up 4.4, install widgetlocker and run it on base to see if you still get FC's.

[REQ] Rotary Lockscreen...

Is there anyway to port this type of lockscreen to the Epic?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919121
I know that I can use WidgetLocker, and I've already bought it but I don't really like it. It seems to lag, like when i hit thte power button from standby, I see the original ASOP screen first and a second later the widgetlocker rotary pops up.
Anyone have any ideas as to how to address this?

you can get this on Cm6 but right not no devs are willing to do all this work then have to redo it when an official 2.2 is out

If you are rooted you can use the 5 second rule bypass on the widgetlocker advance options.
If you are not rooted then use the homehelper option in the widgetlocker options.
I use no lock with widget locker. It disables the stock lock but does cause a half second lag for the screen to turn on, which doesn't bug me as much. The lag could be caused by my widgets though, not sure
So does anyone know if someone has ported this to work with EB13 or any of the custom roms? I've used to on he CM7 Alpha build, and I was wonderinf if someone took the time to port it. I'd do it myself, but at this point I have little to no knowlegde with any of the languages used to program this stuff.
I'm not sure if this is allowed, but bump haha.

[Q] Scrollable Dock (TouchWiz)

A few days ago, I started modifying my stock launcher on my Galaxy Tab3 (GT-P5200). I've focused on the dock.
Till now I've managed to modify the launcher so far, that I can store up to 13 icons on the dock.
I also managed to remove the text from the icons. This is how my screen looks at the moment.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now I want to continue modifying the dock by making it scrollable (like the homescreen or appdrawer).
And before anyone suggests me exactly, what I do not want, I'll explain briefly what is important for me.
I don't want to use a different launcher (like Nova / AWD / Apex / or something like that).
I also do not want to use any other app, which modifies my launcher.
I simply want to modify my stock launcher (TouchWiz) by modifying the code itself
I would appreciate it if anyone could help me or at least could explain to me
where the scrolling of the homescreens is defined in the code.
.
Wonder how you get 13 icons in the dock? Wish I had that option.

Well, ... I just modified SecLauncher3.apk. But I recognized that these 13 apps won't survive a reboot.
When I reboot my device, the system/launcher (or whatever it is) resets the dock, so that only 10 apps
will be shown after reboot. I still have the possibility to put up to 13 apps on the dock, but after reboot,
only 10 apps will be shown.

Oh, yeah...thanks! I had never concidered (with my limited knowledge) that the launcher is also just an apk running on android. big ah-ha moment for me there. Thanks for the eye opener.
