[Q] Weather/clock widget woes!! - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone!
I'm having a problem with all the DHD ports, I've tried as of late and really need my help before this phone gets thrown at the wall!
The weather/clock widget doesn't seem to stick to my home screen anymore!
Meaning: that every time I reboot my phone, I have to reinstall the damned thing!!
If anyone has a clue, please post below!
Thanks

Bump for the morning crew!

All DHD Ports? I am using the latest InsertCoin, and do not have the problem. Did not have this while on RCMixHD 3.0, too.

Thank you very much for answering.
Am also using the latest Insertcoin since yesterday and the same thing happens.

D2Ext or A2SD+? I do not have this promlem on A2SD+.
Also try taking of the battery for 10 secs and try after that.
Also can be a possible conflict with other widgets.

Also using A2SD+.
I'll try the battery idea but what other widgets could it be conflicting with?

Just pulled the battery and it didn't change anything!

Hmm, strange, other people said that after pulling the battery and re-booting they had missing the widget, so they had to add it again, but it was not gone after
Well, Custom widgets, like SIMI clock, desktop clock etc.

Any of those have animated weather like the stock HTC one or do I have to go with Beautiful Widgets?

Found this.
Still thinking about, why the default widget has the problem for you, but can't come to any solution.

LOL!!
I was just looking at that too!
I'll try it out and see!
Thanks buddy!
p.s. Let me know if you find a solution please!

Well, I settled on Fancy Widget which seems to be working very well.

FOUND THE ANSWER!
Went into the clock app, cleared data and it's all working now!!

Haha, wanted to post that, but just got home, so I'm late with the answer.
Anyways, good to hear, you managed to solve it

[Q} Why is my phone suddenly not letting me add HTC widgets to the homescreen? O_o

Out of no where, I suddenly can't add HTC widgets. Any other widget I add to the home screen pops up fine, but, when I press on an HTC one, the phone just freezes up (not completely frozen, bc I can press back to get out of it).
Any help would be appreciated.
Sidenote: The widgets I'd put on the home screen before this problem still function fine.
reboot and try again? that usually fixes the little quirks for me if I know I didn't do anything to cause it

Defintiely did and it's still a no go. This is really strange.
Factory reset would be the next thing to do but you will lose all of your data
it could be your rom to

Yea I'm just running the stock 2.2 (rooted/Deodexed).
Is it possible to flash ove my rom without wiping everything first?
Go to the app page in settings and clear cache
Sent from my EVO using XDA App
Ok guys, so I talked to a friend, and he gave me a pretty good idea of what happened.
When I switched to the rooted 2.2 rom form rooted 2.1, I restored my system data with titanium backup. I didn't knwo you're only supposed to use it for user apps,
Basically, that screwed things up in terms of what settings and things like that were even searching for.
Ah, yes, it seems TiB is too powerful for us. I made that mistake at first as well. Flipz has a nice writeup about this issue, too.

[Q]is it possible to use HTC Mail Widget on the launch pro +?

Flashed fresh 3.2.0.0 roms, sweet roms so far, except for one problem here. I didn't find HTC Mail Widget in the "Add to the home screen" menu. I was wondering if there were any way I can make that widget showing on the launch pro+? If so, how should I do it? really appreciate it.
HTC widgets can only be used with sense UI
Swyped on my EVO
Launcher pro does not work with sense widgets like the one you are trying.
Are you sure it is missing? I'm running Fresh 3.2 and the widget is there. I guess it is possible that something went wrong with the install but if that is the case try ref lashing.
If it still doesn't show, post again and I'll send the apk to you.

anyways, thanks again.

Go Launcher Icon Effects

Not sure if anyone has the same problem but i can't seem to figuire this one out.
I apologise if this has been talked about before, But have searched extensively without luck.
The problem is that when i go to change the App drawer Icon effect, The option is completely shaded out and I'm not allowed to pick one.
I reinstalled it but that didn't change anything.
Anyone know of this issue and have a solution!
Thanks in advance!
Im using GO Launcher EX and it works fine for me.
What effect is it currently stuck on?
Did the launcher come with a Custom ROM? or have you installed it yourself on a standard ROM?

Installed it myself but I'm using a custom rom aswell(VillainRom 2.4.2) and it's not just stuck on the default one.
Not sure why Im not able to pick a different one.
Heh - I had this problem myself. It only works with horizontal scrolling

Notifications in Lockscreen?

I've been using my iphone for the last few months but have recently decided to go back to my trusty old HOX. The problem is I've forgotten how to get facebook and twitter notifications to pop up on the lockscreen as they appear in real time. I can't even remember if they ever did do this, but I'm sure I remember something along those lines.
In ios7 the tweets and fb conversations pop up and light up the screen so you can just glance at your phone to see what's going on without actually turning it on. Is it possible in android? I noticed the social networking lockscreen option has disappeared, this might be what I was thinking of.
I'm using sense ARHD latest version, would consider flashing AOKP/CM to get this feature if it's possible.
Thanks.

Thanks, they are already syncing I just want the notification to come up on the lock screen.
I thought maybe there was a setting somewhere I'd forgotten about but now I don't think it's possible, at least not natively.
I might look into 3rd party lockscreens. If I find a solution I'll post here in case anyone else is interested.
Thanks for the help guys
DashClock (and the appropriate plugins) should be able to do that.

Thank you, that was it, I remember now. Only problem is it isn't there anymore in Sense 5, at least not on ARHD.
Is anyone using a different sense 5 rom who could confirm if the productivity lockscreen is in the lockscreen options? I think it might have been missed out in sense 5.
Thanks.

Thank you very much Nogotaclue and Virgolib, I can see this in the options, this is exactly what I was looking for but unfortunately it only includes email and messages, not facebook and twitter. I'm sure it used to in sense 4.5
Thanks so much for all your help

If you use ViperX rom, you can add applications on a one-by-one basis in their tweaks for the lockscreen. It comes up a little differently than normal Productivity sense 5 alerts, but I think that should be more what you're looking for.

Thanks, that sounds good. I'll try Viper X, it sounds like it might have the option I'm looking for.
Much appreciated
