Default [$10 BOUNTY] Launcher Redraw With Every App Install

I can replicate this problem every single time, and I'm wondering if I'm the only one....


AOKP B36 w/Faux Kernel
Pure Calendar Widget (Redraw)
Beautiful Widgets(Redraw)
Clock (Redraw)
Effects Nova Launcher, Apex Launcher, Stock Launcher


Everytime I install an app from the market, my widgets redraw, without fail. I don't know if I've always had this, or If I just started noticing it.... but its everytime.... Am I alone here?

I need to fix this, as its really bugging me.



$10 to the first person who gets rid of my redraws on AOKP when installing an app from Google Play Store.

Use the V6 supercharger script and bulletproof your launcher.

Have you tried adding this to the build.prop:
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1

I don't think its a memory issue, I think Google has programmed it to restart after installing an app so that the launcher shows each new app. It doesn't reset the widgets when you uninstall, but you can only uninstall one at a time instead of installing, lets say, 3 apps at once. But I might be wrong of course.

If that's the case does it still redraw it if you have the auto-add Widgets unchecked?

In and of themselves, build.prop edits are worthless in forcing the launcher to stay in memory in ICS. For precious versions of Android that worked, but it's ineffective from 4.0 up.

The OP simply needs to just follow the instructions on the V6 supercharger thread if he wants to eliminate the redraws. It's quite a simple and effective solution, actually. I've yet to have a single redraw after supercharging and bulletproofing about two months ago.

Don't forget to modify your services.jar. Uploading it to the 00M priority changer is without doubt the easiest way of making the necessary changes.

Its a launcher refresh. Maybe refreshing Widgets on app install etc.

Well idk I filled the launcher with nothing but Widgets all over the place and I couldn't recreate it. No build prop edit or anything fancy Just aokp b36 and faux 018b2. I was just throwing stuff out at him seeing if something worked
