i get Force closes all the time... especially when trying to remove any widget.

i tried both safe mode, and normal mode, with and without persistent home... any ideas?

edit: this started two updates ago...

Yeah, this happens all the time for me as well. Not too troublesome, but annoying, never the less.

I've had one or two force close messages pop up with Home++ but instead of saying yes I just selected "Wait" and it kept working fine.

Really? I get a force close message coming out of lock 1/3 times. I'll give wait a try next time and see if it decreases. Really love the app though. And I'm amazed it's free!

Very annoying. While it is a beta, I'd still prefer the developer strive for stability before continually adding new features. New features are great but, the continual fc's drive me nuts. This app being stable to me makes it THE home screen replacement to have above all.

i think i narrowed down the problem to the app drawer. as long as i don't open the app drawer, i seem to be avoiding the Force Closes.. let me know if you can replicate this.

I rarely use the app drawer. Everything I need is either on a screen or in widget form, and I never have issues with Home++ (FC's anyway, does lag at times).
I've been running it for about 3 weeks now and maybe had 2 FC's.

 

[garrett]

i havent had any issues with FC's or lag running home++ i only had 1 FC and that was the day i installed it almost a month ago.

garrett or pdig: (just trying to troubleshoot)

1. what widgets are you using?
2. are you rooted?
3. any customizations? (boot animation, notification bar, etc)

also, do me a favor, in normal (not safe mode), open the app drawer. then after it loads, close it, and try to delete/move a widget

On my droid, the 3G icon and signal strength bar no longer appear on my lower status bar. It still shows the speaker and the batt indicator. I am pretty sure it used to show the 3G and signal strength as shown below, but I cannot figure out how to turn it back on.

Any ideas?

It's a bug related to Android 2.0. The developer's aware of it. Check his homepage if ya wanna follow the release notes.

transparent notification bar

i was able to open the drawer and closed it then had no issues deleting and moving a widget.
