What to do? - In those cases when you need to demolish the previous version of TSF Shell to install a new one, we recommend the following method: first make a backup in Titanium Backup, and when a new version of TSF Shell is installed, roll over a backup from Titanium, while selecting the "Restore" option ->"Data Only". This way you will get the latest version of launcher without losing your data
(ATP uz. Mazoku)15. How did you put the icon in the lower right corner? When I do this, a basket appears for deletion! - To do this, you need to place the desired label first in the vertical panel on the left, and from there drag it to the lower right corner. In this case, the cart will not appear.
(ATP uz. Mazoku)16. After the restart, the icons disappear! - Do not rush to unlock the device immediately after the reboot, wait for the full initialization of the SD card.

22. And how to set up the dock bar? The icons on it are too small ... - Tap on the docking bar and, while holding, increase / decrease it as you need. In addition, the size of the icons on the dock is inversely proportional to their number: the more the icons are rendered, the smaller they are. The total size of the icons in the launcher varies in the settings in the "density" section.
23. Installed TSF Shell, and all standard Touchwiz widgets (Sence, Motoblur ...) are gone! What to do? - Nothing: the standard widgets of Sony, Samsung, HTC, etc. overwhelmingly work only on stock launchers. Do you want to use them - do not switch to third-party launchers.

or right, and select the option "icon without a signature."
25. How to remove the notification launcher in the curtain - "TSF running"? Annoying. - In the settings launcher (long tap on the table ->installations ->ellipsis) go to "different settings" and uncheck the first item "keep in memory". If after this the launcher begins to behave unstably, try using the general settings of the device: settings ->Application Manager ->TSF Shell ->remove the checkbox from the item "display notifications". If you have Android 4.3 and higher, the notification can be disabled via the option
"Operations with applications": Find the TSF in the "device" tab and turn off the "place notification". Just do not forget to uncheck the "notification" in the personal data protection manager (settings ->security ->manager ...), and instead of a notification from the TSF, a system notification of a running protection will hang.
26. All about transparent status bar. Actual for all launchers.
27. How to apply themes on version 3.0? -
Like this. Icons from native TSF themes in the beta launcher do not apply, use third-party multi-icon packs (icons from GO Launcher, Solo, etc., are suitable).
27a. I put the topic for TSF, but it does not apply, the launcher says that it is not supported. - See what topic you are putting. The latest version launcher (3.x.x) needs themes with support for these versions, the old ones will not work.
28. Installed threads fly off after a while. - Put them in the memory of the device, not on the card - and will not fly.
29. How to remove the screen indicator from the desktop. 30. How to enable notifications in the form of numbers on application icons? - Put the plugin notifications
TSF Counter Plugin. Supports the display of only unread SMS, Gmail letters and missed calls.
31. I like the TSF widgets, but I don’t like the TSF Shell launcher itself. Can you untie these widgets from TSF and put them on another launcher? - No, they work only with TSF Shell and cannot “untie” them from TSF.
32. I can not find the option to backup launcher settings. -
Look again carefully.
33. How to add a shortcut to the desktop contact? - Add ->labels ->labels ->contact.
34. What are the widgets of this launcher? - Open the spoiler "Widgets / plugins / decorators launcher", they are all there assembled. Or use the search on Google Play, the key - "TSF widget".
35. Why is there no patched versions from version 3.8.2, only original versions from Google Play are laid out? - Because from this version
launcher became freeand patch there is nothing.
36. After upgrading to version 3.9.2, the launcher disappeared from the device! How so? - TSF Shell version 3.9.2 ceased to be an independent launcher and became just a theme for CM Launcher, respectively, if the latter is not installed, you will not see TSF Shell and will not be able to use it.
36a I do not need TSF Shell as an appendage to this terrible CM Launcher! How to return the good old independent launcher? - Install the latest version 3.9.1 from here (or whatever you like) and untie the application from Google Play so that it will not be updated anymore.
36b. How to untie the application from Google Play, so that it is not updated? - Use
Titanium backupor, if it did not help, make a clone of the application and install it, then it will not be visible on Google Play and will not be able to be updated.
36c. How to make a clone of the application? - Many tools can be used for cloning -
App cloner,
Lucky Patcher,
MT Manager,
ApkEditorand others - more tools and instructions are collected in
Mod Club APK. There you can also ask for help if you cannot make a clone yourself.
37. Application icons are replaced by pictures with a gray robot. Why and what to do? - If you have Android 8, this is a popular bug, because the launcher is not optimized for this version of the OS. Only its developers can fix it, but since the project is closed, there is no hope for correction. Set a theme with a large number of icons and replace them manually or switch to another launcher.
If you have Android below 8, try restarting the launcher and device. If it does not help, see the solution above: put a theme with a large number of icons and replace them manually or switch to another launcher.
38. I want to talk about bugs / ask for new features / scold developers ... -
Write to the developers themselves or to the theme of the application on Google Play and tell / ask / scold on health. Here they are not, have not been and will not be, so do not waste your time on requests that no one will hear.The project has long been closed, so use what you have, or go on to continue it - CM Launcher 3D.
