Common Issues and Solutions


Icon Labels: horizonal black lines

  • There may be horizontal black lines visible (intermittently) on either side of the icon whether in an App Drawer, App Drawer (Pager), or others. See an example here . This is frequently caused by the Label text having more characters than the line properly handles.
  • Solution:
    • Use less letters in the label line
    • Change the font size
    • If using 1 label line set the label line to 2
    • If using >2 label lines, try reducing the number of label lines by 1

Lifetime Purchase Not Showing

AA recent purchase of a lifetime subscription to Total Launcher is not reflected on the device with features not being available.

  • Solution:
    • Clear Google Play Store cache on the device (Device settings > All apps > Google Play Store > Storage & cache > Clear cache)

Temperature (text variable) does not update

This is a known issue and several Bug Reports have been submitted, but it continues to exist. The launcher's developer has not responded about the cause but some discussions have suggested it is related to the OpenWeather API limitation imposed on Total Launcher. Workarounds offered:

  • Portrait/Landscape Mode Switch - Some users have reported that that physically changing the devices orientation from portrait (vertical) to landscape (horizontal) causes an update.
  • Launcher Action - Reset Home - Reset Home causes the launcher to refresh, but it also resets the launcher to that “home page”. This may be useful if the temperature object is on the home page. If not, then the user would have to navigate back to that object's page to see the update.
    • This option can be implemented in two ways:
  • Set the object's action - This can be either “tap” or “swipe directions” (Object Design menu (top) > Action > (select desired tab then) Action > Launcher action > scroll to Reset home and tap it). Now when the temperature object is tapped (or swiped) the Reset Home will cause it to update if one is available).
  • Set a Global Gesture - Launcher Option's Keys & Gestures (Main Menu > Launcher option > Keys & Gestures) will show the dialog for global gestures, such as swipe up, double tap, two finger swipe down, and more. Make a selection the select Launcher action and scroll to Reset home. Back out and test it.

There are other options to display temperature or other dynamic variables by using automation apps such as Tasker or Macrodroid. An example is demonstrated here to be inserted


Wallpaper Momentarily Flashes a Previous Background

To resolve this visual glitch try this:

  1. Main menu > Launcher Options > UI & Animation > Enter Animation > Set to “System default”
  2. Do NOT use “No animation”

This has worked many times in preventing the “flashing” of old background images.
