Sense wigdets and short cuts are mis shaped and crooked on rooted stock rom.
I suspect it has something to do with sense tring to go to landscape every once in awhile.
Any ideas how to fix?

It stays that way through a reboot?
Also, screenshot?
on the second reboot it went back to normal. weird that it happened and also weird that the second reboot seemed to fix the symptom.
well i am having this issue again and i googled this and i found my own thread at the top of the list.
i cant be the only fool with this issue, it has done to me 10 more times since i first posted this. so it doesn't happen often and a reboot normally clears this
i think this symptom is caused by sense trying to go to landscape mode and somehow getting stopped in the process
i would assume that i might be able to disable sense home screen and re enable it may take care of this.
the only way i can think of doing this might be to change home screen to something else and then set sense to be default home screen, might be faster than rebooting, i just tried this and it doesnt work.
awesome

That's weird, I've never seen my Widgets or shortcuts do that before. And the Evo's stock version of sense doesn't rotate to landscape, so I'm not sure why it would attempt to. Could you use drocap2 or Shootme to get a screen shot of this? I would suggest doing a full wipe and then reflash a rom to fix it. That should take care of it

k i read about an app called spare parts on here so i figured hey i'll try it out. i did saw what extra setting were there and decided i wasn't gonna use it didn't even change any settings.
after opening the app and then pressing home something wierd happened i saw a white screen with HTC in green in the center for about 3-5 seconds my backround with a loading pop-up and nothing else for about another 3-5 seconds. this is happening every time i press the home button or exit out of an app. it's getting infuriating, i'm also getting wicked bad lagg in sense and lot's of hang up's and force closes. also wicked bad battery life. i don't know what to do to fix it.
i have the OTA and rooted last night with unrevoked method, this morning is when i tried the app around 10 or 11 not sure last couple days is a blur.
can anyone help, how can i restore what i had previously, do i have to do a full wipe.
nobody...... anyone plz, it is cripling my evo

get used to it if you intend to use sense, the screen you speak of is sort of like the htc sense/rosie intro. If you dont like it you can go vanilla and use another launcher, like adw froyo,launcherpro, or even the extra launcher thats included....
Sounds like you enabled aggressive handling of apps. Can you get in there to turn it off?

Or just do a factory reset.
also, you are experiencing some isolated problems which leads me to beleive the issue is software related rather than hardware.I have experienced NOT ONE of the issues you speak of. Make sure you update prl. I can vouch for that one. My data was 90% broken till i did. Also try and wipe data, that would prolly fix everything as well.....FYI, i cannot gurantee the problem lies with your hardware OR software. Thats just my diagnosis. Good luck
Thats what it was the agressive handling of processes thanks alot guys feel like a fool.....

Heh...I did that once on my hero. I know the feeling.
some versions of spare parts come with a launcher. the problem is that when you press the home button now, it's trying to goof with /system, which is forcing the reboot. even though you may be rooted, you don't have rw privileges in /system while messing with android.
you may be able to get away with accessing /system and erasing your goofy installed spare parts app. you'll have to do that through adb shell, and the custom recovery. do a search for 'remove apps', you should find it easily enough. i think the thread was moved from dev to general, or q and a.
anything that will call a write to /system (i.e. a rooted app that needs access to it to work right) has the potential to cause the phone to reboot. when i installed adfree, it had the same effect. trying to install hosts (which write to /system/etc) caused a reboot. i had to install hosts through recovery with a push after remount.
hope that helps
Hmm I installed autokiller and it appears to work doesn't mess with anything that is
I really dunno a way of testing that its actually working though if you where looking for a way to manage memory
I was using a task killer but read up on stuff and turned it off just keeping it in case I need it for something that wont close and the phone is running great and battery life keeps getting better and better.

autokiller
People you need to be careful with autokillers!
Make sure that you are not closing down sense items.
Put anything that says htc or sense on ignore.
If not you are shutting down parts of sense. Then sense has to reboot. Witch is why you see the white screen with the htc logo in the middle.
So this has been driving me nuts ever since froyo. I don't recall my phone ever doing this before 2.2
I use Handscent for sms and lets say I open it up and are going through messages while in landscape mode. Once I am done I will hit home and set the phone back down. Then when a message comes in I will pick up the phone and check it and it opens handscent back in up Landscape mode even though I am holding the phone upright. There is at least a second lag before the phone switches it back to the correct position.
This is not just with handscent but any other program that supports landscape. It's really annoying and I have hard reset more than once since froyo. The app remembers what position it was in rather than just dected the correct position in the first place. I have also tried calibrating but the phone knows what to rotate so the rotation works fine it's just the app likes to remember the last position it was in rather than the current. I don't recall this being a problem on 2.1
Is there a way to fix it? It's trying me nuts
I have a friend who also has an evo hardware build 2 (mine is 3) and that phone doesn't take nearly as long as mine. You can still see it remembers the position you of the screen when you go back in, but it flips back rather quickly where mine takes up to 4-5 seconds.
I have tried recalibrating the g-sensor numerous times. Also when I am just rotating the phone back and forth it rotates the screen very quickly, the only time it lags is when I back out of an ap and go back in later.
anyone have any ideas?
Anyone?

Are you running a stock froyo kernel?I have hardware version 002 and am running Netarchy's 4.0.3 kernel over clocked to 1.15 ghz.I can see what you're talking about but my screen rotates to the correct position almost instantly.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I am running everything stock, non-root and no over clocking - I might have to try hard resting again - not sure what else to do

Running Fresh 3.1.0.2 with net's 4.1.8 and I get the same thing with certain apps. No idea why though.
Sent from my FROYO'D EVO using xda app
Well I thought I would post an update - I ended up doing a hard reset. The odd thing is I have hard reset twice since I got the froyo update. However the first 2 times (both times I had the problem with rotation lag) I reset using the settings under SD & phone storage.
When I reset last night I used the bootloader to reset it. The lag is now gone (you can still see it rotate but it's fast now where as before it would take up to 5 seconds to kick in only when going back into an app though)
So anyone else having this problem I would just hard reset using the key combination. I have not recalibrate the g-sensor. I am also keeping an eye on what I install to see if a certain app brings the lag back but so far everything I have installed it seems fine. Not sure what was stuck in the phone or what was going on, I never used a task killer or anything. It was driving me crazy since a lot of time I would back out of an app in landscape and go back in there portrait and it would lag.
So anyway I will report back if it comes back but hopefully it stays gone.

your g-sensor could be going bad. i had a remaned evo i was playing with for a few days that did this and the g-sensor eventually quit working.

It's working now and the only time I had a problem was going back in to an app I left in landscape otherwise it was fast and correct. I think it's a software problem.
When I first start the camera app after a reboot I get the message "Cannot connect to camera". If I try to start the app again it works fine every time until the next reboot.
I've tried a factory reset which worked for a few reboots until the message started happening again.
I'm running the latest stock rom and can't figure out what's changing to cause this.
Any ideas?
Had you got that problem on earlier versions of stock ROM?
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
Sorry, I haven't had the phone long enough to have an older version of the stock rom.
Even I had this error once, I had to reboot the device to get that fixed.
This was the 1st time it happened.
One thing is it happened while shooting a 720p Video.
I don't think it's software problem, probably camera is damaged, or its flex cable. I had the same problem for a moment after disassembling my Play but I forgot to completely connect flex to the connector.
I think the only way to fix your problem is to bring Your Play to authorized service or (if your phone has warranty) send it to SE.
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
It could be but it just seems odd that its only the first time using the camera after a reboot. Try the app a second time and every other time its fine.
I would have though if it was the flex cable it would be all the time or happen randomly.
Well.

I'm having an issue like that right now. However, I started getting it after I messed with a ton of system files and the framework-res.apk
Did you do the same? I'm working on figuring out what went wrong, it's definitely a software issue for me.
Possible Problem and Solution
Hey guys,
I noticed something really curious after having an extensive conversation about a few r800's and a Moto Cliq XT about camera issues and I've isolated what might be the problem that people are unknowingly creating.
Status Bar Widgets
Having the LED/Flash/whateveryouwanttocallit light as a widget toggle in Android 2.3.x seems to use the same line of code as the camera. Or something techy like that. IDK. I was about to fix it after a ton of annoying work. But the easiest way (and fastest really) that I came across was just turning the widget off. Removing it completely. In fact, just get rid of that entire feature in 2.3.x and save it for like, IDK, 3.0+
Really hope this helps that random person out there who needs it.

YES, i agree, should make a fix btw, =)
I have tried searching for this problem but I must be using the wrong terms... so sorry in advance if I missed a post that addressed this issue.
My sprint S3 does this twitchy/glitching thing on every touchwhiz based jellybean rom (does not do it on TW ICS ROMS) I have tried. It basically makes it nearly impossible to do sliding animations, IE it can actually get stuck and start flashing halfway between screens, or when pulling down the top menu, however you can open new programs just fine if you are already on the right screen for them. Luckily it does not do this all the time, but when it happens it keeps doing for 10 minutes or so and its annoying as hell.
I figured this must be a rare issue even though it effects both my wifes phone and mine, since I have never read anything about it, however I just got a new replacement phone and it does the exact same thing, even on dead stock TW JB ROM.
Oddly enough I discovered last night that if I turn on my screen filter app it stops completely, but it starts right back up when I turn off screen filter..... any ideas how to fix this?
Try grabbing cache clear from the play store and set it to run every 12 hours. It helped my phone a good bit.

I had it dude, but it was just on the CleanBean ROM, it was annoying as hell!
So I changed the ROM, Its weird that its happening on a Stock ROM, any suspicious app?
I sometimes have issues with my screen going black when I hit the power button coming from sleep mode. I keep having to reboot, and that sucks. I'm not sure what causes this and past experience tells me not to change anything unless I know what the problem is, and exactly how to fix it. What sucks even more than having to reboot often is having to reflash everything and spend an 2 hours setting it back up.
I added this line----> ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 to the build.prop, but I'm not sure this is even responsible for the problem. Is there something else I need to know about?
Is that going to fix the issue permanently or is there something else altogether that I have to tweak?
I have the Pacman ROM, and the Next 3D launcher. I also have the ROM Toolbox and Android Tuner. Are there settings in either one of those tools that will fix this black screen delay/freeze thing coming from sleep mode?

Try upping your Clock speed to Min/384 and see if that kinda helps a bit.
