First of all, I love Lightning Launcher and love the newest updates. As soon as I saw LLX hit the Play Store, I didn’t hesitate for a second to purchase.

Found a couple of issues with LLX so far. When starting it the first time and it loads my configuration from the original Lightning Launcher a couple things are missed.

1) Screen gestures aren’t imported. I use swipe up to open my app drawer and double tap to show my status bar. Neither worked after the first load and I had to set them up again.

2) Hidden apps in the app drawer are no longer hidden after switching to LLX. I had to rehide them.

3) When applying an update to an app from the Play Store that has an updated icon, LLX won’t update the icon. I tried hitting refresh, but that didn’t do it. I eventually got it to update by going to customize and selecting to use the default icon again. This can be replicated by reverting to the originally installed version of YouTube which has a white block with YouTube written in red and then updating to the newest version which had a red button with a white arrow in it for the icon.

Keep up the great work! You have, by far, one of the best, most customizable and fastest launchers on the market.

    Thank you Mike Wyzlic for your support !


    Bugs 1 and 2 are clear, but I am wondering for 3 if this could be some problem of custom icon ? The fact that selecting the default icon works means that the original icon has been updated, but there was a custom icon displayed over. Could you confirm that there was no custom icon for this item (maybe  applied manually or with an icon pack)

    Yep. No custom icon was applied. In fact, after the first instance of the icon not updating, I did a factory reset on my phone (for completely different reasons not related to Lightning). I loaded LLX almost immediately (not a TouchWiz fan). While updating all of the Google apps I saw this behavior several times since a lot of icons had been updated recently. I had not yet done any customizing in LLX.

    Mike Wyzlic ok, thanks for the update, 1 and 2 are fixed but I still need to solve 3 then.


    The trick of the google app update is nice, I was wondering how to reproduce this. Now I can use Hangout for instance (previously talk) 🙂
