i tried installing helix launcher 2 and couldnt even use it. constant fc's.

been using helix launcher for a while though and love it :)

for the love of chocolate..i cannot find helix launcher 2

i searched for helix launcher 2, helixlauncher 2, helixlauncher2


Just search "helix" in the market. I think, if I'm understanding this correctly, that if you haven't rooted your phone and you're still running 2.0.1, that the market will only show apps you can download.

I searched "helix" and found helixlauncher right away...it's great so far!

This does not have the 3d apps. Very stable for me. Helix 2 however, was in a FC loop...The key thing I've learned is never select a default home until your sure it works well with your phone. I know you can always clear default home, but in the case of a FC loop just reboot and select the one that works..

Helix 2 will only work on ere25 or older builds. I think we should make this clear somewhere. Maybe Rintin can edit his original post. Ese53 has to use the regular helix launcher.

@sboman_32 -

Reset to factory requires that the phone be shut off completely, then hold the x button down then pressing and holding the power buttion, and don't release either until you see an exclamation mark on your screen. At that point hold the volume up and tap the camera button. This will get you to the recovery screen where you can perform a full factory reset/wipe.

so non-rooted (i.e. ESD56) will NOT work with helix 2 correct? that's what's causing the FC loop? stick with helix 1 and its not a problem?

That sounds correct. I haven't been stock and don't intend to be to test this. But you are on the right track. Try it out and see how it goes! haha

I was getting FC's on HelixLauncher2, but I'm using an ESE53 based ROM, so that could be why.

But to stop the FC's, I just connected through ADB (adb shell) and manually removed HelixLauncher2 (busybox rm /data/app/com.helixproject.launcher2.apk).

If you don't have busybox installed, I guess you could alternatively run:
adb uninstall com.helixproject.launcher2

After doing so, the looping FC's go away.
