URGENT help! Helix Launcher FC

[RRollergod]

Seems like Helix is in an eternal force close and I can not do anything. How can I fix this without wiping the phone?

 

[Jared DiPane]

uninstall the application as you would any other application?

Yeah, I had a FC or two today as well, but it's behaving now. I went 2.1 yesterday afternoon. It had been previously very stable.

I definitely love that home screen...

 

[RRollergod]

I couldn't uninstall it because it wouldn't let me get that far. I just got into safe mode now. All it well! Thanks for the resources AC.

 

[Jared DiPane]

Be sure you are using HelixLauncher and not HelixLauncher2, lots are reporting force closes with that one...

 

[thebizz]

He's using 2 o would bet and the only way to rid yourself of that is a factory reset

I do believe Helix 2 is meant for the Nexus? Hence, definitely less than appropriate.

Factory reset to rid you of it? Bummer

Yeah, some other roms have incorporated 2 into them so people get off thinking they can use it, but its not really stable.

HelixLauncher 1 is amazing though

I was using one, and accidentally changed the number of screens with widgets on them still. I booted into safe mode and deleted Helix. All is good now and Helix is back on!

Glad to see you are back up and running. Never fun to see someone experience issues, but we all learn from them

How do I get Helix to start up on my Droid? I've installed it and uninstaleld a few times. Am I just dense - what am I doing wrong? I remember I had it on for a while before the 2.1 update. Now after updateing I can't get it to start. Any help would be appreicated.

Just click your home button

 

[Eric Sorensen]

OK - aprils fools! you got me. Now Really, what am I doing wrong?

 

[Jared DiPane]

Once you download HelixLauncher you literally just have to hit the home button, and then itll ask to complete using Helix or Home, select Helix.

I suppose I have a simialar question....I installed and I have the 4 pinned locations but only have same 3 native screens....I am not seeing the additional that Helix is supposed to supply. Am I missing something?

From the home screen, press menu, then go to configure, then the first option will be how many screens, select from there how many you want to have.

+1 for Jared....Thanks

No problem. And when you press the home button, it gives you the option which to use, select the check mark and then press Helix and it wont ask you anymore, itll default to that til its removed or you reset the option

 

[Eric Sorensen]

Hello again. I think my problem is that I had Helix installed a while ago, and turned it off - or selected the Droid home page as default instead. Now I can't get Helix going again. Yes, I hit the home button directly after Helix is installed, and I don't get the home screen options. Is there a way to reset this? The default button in the helix application menu is grayed out. I can only unistall or force stop. Thanks.
