any luck restarting the phone with advance killer turn off? u might have changed the setting to automatically kill the sense widget. also try removing the clock widget off and putting it back on. if u go to advanced task killer and press menu>setting uncheck autostart. then restart the phone and lets see what happens

i've done all that actually got rid off everything i had set up in advanced task killer, have tried getting rid of the widget and putting it back on a million times and it just deosn't want to work. i've tried everything and i have no idea why it isn't working, but it looked so nice when it did.

the widget you want is under 'clock'. so, on the home page you want to put it, hit menu, add to home, widget, clock (not analog clock) then hit the little arrow button at the bottom until you get to the flip clock with weather on it. select it. presto. you're done.

yeah k, i know that look at my screen shot.

anyone else wanna try this is so annoying.

BUMP for a problem that will probably affect someone other than myself.

hey mods can you guys move this to general or android development, maybe someone who can help me will see it there, and i would rather not make a new topic in a different thread. it's just really infuriating i have literally tried everything it hasn't been working right since saturday so i figured i would ask on here after a few days. this has to have happened to somebody at somepoint, it must be something simple i'm missing.

this used to happen on my G1 ..all u have to do is delete the widget from the home screen / restart phone / add widget again

Thank you will try.

Reflash whatever ROM you are running over the top of your current ROM in recovery. You shouldn't have to wipe to do this and it should restore your clock.
If it still persists, then wipe and then flash your ROM in recovery.

under the setting part of the widget, try and set it to a specific location, not 'my location'. it may be that it can't find you. especially if you're on a wifi network

i'm not running a rom, haven't flashed anything. all i did was do unrevoked to get root for a couple of things, and i have it set to miami. with gps on and everything. though i am on 3g now and no difference.
all the widget has is the time, no date or anything and it says miami, no clouds no sun nothing.

Try downloading a rom..take the weather widget out place it on ur sd card install via astro ..

Verify your auto syncing it turned on.

[INFO] Fast app switcher erasing Launcher default? Uninstall Qik!

First of all, I didn't figure this out but got the resolution thanks to a post by vaelek. Thanks vaelek!
If you have to reselect your launcher when you press the Home button after using the fast application switcher (long press on Home button), the problem is not the ROM you're using... it's the latest update of Qik.
Simply uninstall Qik and the issue goes away. Simple as that.

Thanks!!!!!!!! It worked like a charm

Why not just uninstall any home apps that aren't going to use... I remove everything except LauncherPro Plus. It never asks for a default because theres only 1.

If you're on a rom w/ sense and you would like to use Launcher Pro, I'm guessing that isn't an option. My brother was having this same issue and after he uninstalled Qik everything is fine. He's using a ROM that has 2 launchers pre-installed.

because even if you do uninstall home apps that aren't used, you still get asked if you want to use the stock launcher or launcherpro. also, not everyone knows how to remove the stock launcher.

To uninstall any system apps, I suggest using Titanium Backup. and going into the Backup/Restore tab and just find what you don't want, and just uninstall.

I can also verify that installing qik does indeed fix this...

I was wondering what was causing this. Issue resolved after Qik was uninstalled, thanks for posting that.

i just removed launcher pro.

[Q] HTC Sense/Stock Widgets issue

The other day I pulled my phone out of my pocket to check the time and was shocked to find all my icons/shortcuts missing. On all 7 screens. I easily restored the items I had on my main home page like retro clock/date, market, internet etc.
The problem that is driving me effing nuts is the toggle switches I had on the 2nd page to the left of home, wifi, 4g, mobile, gps, etc. I cannot find them to add them back. I have gone to add widget>settings> the only 2 items listed are airplane mode and bluetooth and no others. I am not speaking of the power control option in widgets. I have tried to add from widgets, shortcuts, apps and folders. the toggle switches are non existent. Now I just noticed I cannot find the stock clock that comes preloaded on the phone. I use the retro clock from the market anyways but the stock clock is another item i cant use along with the weather page. I can add a shortcut for weather that i need to click to open the weather screen.
seems like a portion or all of sense is effed up or gone. What are my options besides a complete factory reset, assuming that would even fix this issue.
I am running stock rom with all current versions of SW

download from market?
There's lots of toggle widgets in the market.

Understood however getting different ones from the market does not explain where the stock ones went or how to get them back

A factory reset should fix your problem, unless the issue is within system itself. I'd just flash the stock rom over itself, wipe cache and dalvik only and see if that fixes it.

Ok thnx ill most likely end up doing that, I wanted to avoid having to do a factory reset but looks like I dont have much choice.
Another question, there is normally a spot in system info for htc sense version right?
Ok so after looking at running processes I discovered that htc sense is currently a cached background process and I dont have an option to restart it or anything.

Long press the screen where you want to add the widget. The go to Widgets > Get more HTC widgets at the top and the one you are looking for should be in there. I hope this helps.

Thnx. I know how to add widgets and everything else. The problem is when I attempt to add by going to widgets>setrings> the only 2 items that are listed is airplane mode and bluetooth, not the 7 or 8 items that are normally there. I also cant add the stock clock, weather widget or pretty much any of the items that are supposed to be there.
Today I did a side by side comparison with another stock rom evo, ome that works as it should and could not really find anything useful. Mine is simply just missing almost all stock widgets

I found the Widgets under settings. I'm not running stock so I can't duplicate. When my wife gets home I can use hers.
I find a lot just by going through every possible selection. You can find some interesting stuff that way

Ya you can. I know exactly where they are supposed to be they just are no longer there. I did a factory reset and it fixed it

Glad its fixed. I know how annoying a little thing like that can be. Funny how sometimes the simple things stump us the greatest!!!

[Q] sleeperrom question

I have the latest sleeper rom on my phone, and noticed what seems to be a bug. I accidently put an app where the app drawer was trying to throw it away, and had to completely redo the rom to correct it. Is there a way to add it back without a fresh install? I tried just wiping dalvik and cache and reflashing, but it was still there, and could't find app drawer to add back anywhere through the menu, also yes I now know the trash is at the top. Thanks in advance, Eric

Which launcher are you using?
If it's Go Launcher (which has trash at the top), you just need to drag an item off your dock, which will leave an open space with a + icon. Tap the + icon and the App drawer shortcut is in the top-level list of options to add.

I was using the adw launcher that came with it, it would not let me drag it away and there was no app drawer or app grid or anything to add to put it back. Don't know if it was a bad dl, first time I dl'ed it it wouldn't install. I went to use the camera and it failed so I went back to cleangb. I will wait for another release to try it again.

Just grab another launcher from the Market like Zeam.

longpress anywhere on the screen ...select launcher actions-open/close drawer....then drag it down to the dock bar once its on your home screen

ICS Issues....

Well since I don't have enough posts it won't let me post in the Dev section...ugh....anyway, I just wiped and flashed MazWoz-EVO ICS ROM BETA 4 and had to do it a few times because it kept screwing up after I would restore my apps and data via Titanium. I figured since this was ICS and my previous was Gingerbread there were some issues so I didn't restore data this last time and thought all was well.
I can't seem to get the browser to work and I tried Chrome Beta but I already read on the forum that is not working right with this ROM so I'll try something different. But I heard the ICS Browser is really good so I want to try it! Someone else posted the same issue but no response yet:
slikgman: My browser stopped working and i don't know when and why. I keep getting the message "unfortunately, browser stopped working" i am now using Dolphin HD browser. I've tried using the reboot and ROM manager permission fix to correct the problem.

Then I just went to unlock the phone a minute ago and my background showed up but no icons and none of the home buttons did anything. I could scroll between all the home screens but they were all blank except for my background! Hmmm...maybe I tried ICS too soon...though people on the Dev forum seem to be having a lot of luck with this ROM

Can't really help, but sounds like a bad install. I've been running this ROM for 2 weeks with no issues other than what is stated in OP.

Can I just re-flash the zip or will it force me to wipe again? I just got some of my main apps up and going so I hate to wipe for the third time in the last 12 hours...lol

Also, do you know how to change the lock screen options? I use Handcent for messaging and want to swap out the standard "slide up" to go to Handcent instead of Messaging. I can't figure out how to edit this for the life of me!

Until you've gotten a good install I would always wipe a couple times per the instructions in the OP.
Also, when changing the lock screen icons there is a trick to it. It's discussed many times over in the OP.
Basically (going from memory since I am not running the rom at the moment) you go to the lockscreen changer, if you want to add weather only you use the rosie utility. Otherwise you have to use the other utility option that is there. You can add/change whatever icons you want by tapping the icon and selecting the replacement. The icons on this screen may not update. Once you close the utility the icons and shortcuts should be as you desire. If you go back in it will reset and you will have to do the process over again.

What recovery are you using?

Oops, i just realized my response was for "The Express..." rom shortcuts. Sorry about that!
So to change lockscreen shortcuts go to Apps -> Evervolv toolbox -> Lockscreen -> Lockscreen style -> Custom Mapping -> App shortcut -> Applications....and so on.

I was gonna say! Thanks that's exactly what I needed!
Oh FYI...I sort of figured out the browser issue. All I had to do was go into my Manage Apps, go to Browser and did a Force Stop, Clear Data, and Clear Cache and then went to try it again and it has worked fine since! Weird....
Also, does anyone know where the Car Dock settings are for ICS? I'd like to change the setting to not go into Car Dock mode when docked, since it leaves the phone lit up the whole time. Some ROMs have that option and some don't, but I'd like to know if ICS has that built in and how I get to it.

Another weird thing about this ROM....
If I long press on the home screen to add an app icon, I get the usual list (Apps, Shortcuts, Widgets and Wallpapers) plus choice for Nova Actions. I can add shortcuts and widgets just fine but when I click Apps, it will show me my list of apps but when I select an app it just opens the app! It doesn't add the icon to my home screen! Annoying even though I can still add it there by long pressing the app itself.

When doing this method when you get to the app hold it don't tap it.
