Just flashed to the Ricky's latest Opera ROM, and starting to explore the new system, but I am having an odd problem. The home screen keeps popping up while I am in the middle browsing through menus. For example, I was trying to change my connection settings, and in the middle it just put me back at the home screen. This has happened at all menus, so I can't pinpoint the issue. I browse back with no issue, but it is annoying to be half way through something, and get booted back to the home screen, and have to start all over. Anyone have any insight into what my issue would be? Could it be a process, or program?
Edit:
Ok, my issue was a user error. I didn't know what the Time Out setting did under the Home Screen settings, and had set it to 10s. Should have played around more before post.

Oh ok glad you found the error lol. So is everything okay no with your phone? if you have any other problems or concerns please feel free to ask. We are all willing to help out
After rooting with Damagecontrol, anytime I go from an application back to the home screen, a White HTC shows up, then after 3 seconds goes away, a loading box comes up for about 3 seconds, and the home screen appears. Never happened before root. did I do something wrong? Did I change a setting by accident?
I hate this screen, slows everything down. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance
That white HTC screen is just the loading screen for Sense. Sounds like something is killing Sense while it's in the background so it has to reload when you go back to the home screen. Are you using any kind of app killer w/ auto kill turned on?
Nope, I had task manager installed, but I uninstalled it and it is still happening.
I'm bumping this to get a reply. I've searched the boards and having found much of anything besides this thread.
After I used rEVOked to root, I started getting this issue. I thought if I updated to the latest firmware, the problem would go away. I was wrong. Still getting this issue about 3-4 times a day which is pretty annoying.
I usually get this whenever I unlock my phone or going to a different home screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unrevoked does not unlock NAND. More than likely, not being fully rooted has something to do with your problem.
Well, I've "cleared storage" and I am still getting the same problem... Any other possible solutions?
You said, "not being fully rooted has something to do with your problem", so should I fully root my EVO and see if that works?
You should see that screen when coming from a different home screen. You know how when you start some PC applications there is a splash screen that comes up for a few seconds while it loads? That is exactly what that white HTC screen is.
The HTC launcher is a bit more resource hungry than some of the others, so it has to load some stuff into memory every time it starts. However it is supposed to stay in memory so you can open a music app/game/browser/etc. and then go back to home without waiting for it to load.
If you are seeing that screen something has killed the HTC Sense process since you were last on the homescreen. If you are not running something like a task killer, it is probably that whatever ROM you are running has settings that kill apps quickly, this is often done for performance or battery life, but yours is too aggressive.
Only other possibility I can think of would be if sense is crashing and has to restart every time.
I'm having this same issue. I'm running a stock EVO, and HTC Sense will reloading sometimes when unlocking/tapping home.
I have a feeling it might be related to WidgetLocker, as the only "task killer" app I have is System Panel which doesn't auto-kill.
Anybody else using WidgetLocker and having this issue?
Bump. Still having this issue regularly.... anybody else have this with or without WidgetLocker?
Hello all, First, I searched the forums for my answer with no such luck, that being said if Im repeating a question thats been asked I apologize. I have a problem with keeping android stable. I have flashed with different versions of windows several times all with success. I do however, prefer the android system, I find that it runs much better, faster and has better perks. Everytime I flash following the original how to, I run in to a couple similar problems.
The first is when I hit the power (not hold the power) the back light cuts off and the keyguard enables, the screen goes dark all as it should. Depending on the time ( the longer it is the worse it is) when I hit the power key to revive my phone, I often get a white screen, then it waits , then it goes dim, Sometimes If I hit the power button several times it eventually comes back to the key guard option, but others I have to remove the battery and reboot. This is the major problem, as I cant use my phone when I need it. This problem seems to get worse the farther it gets away from the flash date, e.g..,, after a brand new flash it works pretty good and then it goes downhill from there.
Second, it seems to lock up when I let it charge overnight, not always (but most of the time) I get up, click the power button to revive the phone and I have a white screen before me that is frozen solid. This like the previous problem seems to be linked to the distance from the last flash.
I hope that its something Im doing wrong, as Im currently using wmobile 6.5 and since Ive had a taste of the droid os, my wm phone is just disappointing. And as I was unsuccessful in finding a post that adequately describes my problem ,Im hoping that there is a way around this .
I have tried, Incubus Superfroyo, Wrym warm donut, and Cyanogens build. Im sure Ive tried others, they just escape me, I was re-flashing daily until I went back to windows. I truly hope someone out there has encountered what I have and has a solution. thank you all for what you do, these forums have been extremely valuable and helpful.
Sounds like you have the wrong panel type selected. Is it set to auto? if it is, try setting it to 2 instead. That cleared up the problem for me.
Tried all panels all have the same problem.
Well thanks for all the many replies. I give Ive tried everything on this site and m android is still really glitchy. Guess it will be windows until I get perhaps a phone capable of running android smoothly.
What kind of phone do you have?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
do you have an SD card you can try to boot from and share your settings?
What we need to know is which kernel you're using, or an image of the kernel you currently have. Also, we need to know which radio version you're using, as this can have detremental effects on stability as well.
Personally, I have been using radio version 1.70.19.09, which seems to be the most stable with kernel .25 IMHO.
I have also "personalized" ThoughtlessKyle's "Fat-Free Froyo", adding/removing apps that I need or don't use respectively (navigation, QQPlayer, Pandora, etc.).
Currently, I think I might be one of the only people not experiencing any issues with this phone running Android 2.2.1. I do get the occasional "hang" (I wait for it to finish what it's doing instead of force close), but that usually has something to do with network coverage or an app requesting something from an unopened port.
Old phone, new OS and runs smooth as could be expected.
Next for me will be the HTC HD2 (if I get one at the right price, the tilt was free)...
I know, I know that MANY PEOPLE THINK OF THE WAKE UP WHITE JIBBERISH SCREEN as NEVER WORKING.

I can't help you regarding panel selection but, please have Radio ROM version 1.65 or higher. And do give my fresh foryo a go with 2.6.25 kernel (everything is there in the thread on how to use it with 2.6.25 kernel).
the WHITE GLITCHY SCREEN IS THE PROBLEM WITH ANDROID DRIVERS. Install with Data on SD Card often causes lockups / force closes.
I am using panel type 1 and white glitchy screen stays for like half of a second and next moment I get a nice clean keylock screen. I don't know but its like 20th time I am explaining the problem related to LCD
Change Panel Type, Get a compatible Radio version (1.65.x or HIGHER)
You say that often install with data on the sd card causes lock ups and freezes. Can you explain further what you mean ?

Ok, so I installed your version of froyo, the accompanying 2.6.25, the radio that you use. For the most part the hanging up is fixed. Now the second problem is still in place. Sometimes when Its been in hibernation(or whatever you would call when you hit the power button once ) when I attempt to refresh my phone (hitting the power button once) nothing happens, the green light is still blinking at the top but the screen stays blank, normally have to remove the battery and restart to get back to using the phone. Is this a sleep setting? or is this something Ive done wrong during the installation.
hello.
i've just installed Domination for HTC one X, using the following link: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/unoff...-1-jelly-bean-with-domination-rom-based-cm10/
aaaaand i have a couple of questions.
1. Trebuchet stops working. but i've only come across this issure when im in the menu, browsing thru my apps, then i reach the widget section, and it is now 30/30 times it stops working when i reach the widget page. so my question is: anyone who knows how to work out this issure or knows what curses it or anything ?
2. am i completely wrong when i say that the battery drains even faster now ? any thoughts about that ?
3. any of you guys knows if its possible to disable the volume keys on the side of the phone when its up and running (not when starting up, cuz then i cant get into the Hboot)
I updated to GPE 4.4.3 through the RUU recently and have had some pretty bad persistent touchscreen problems recently.
I have turned show touches on in developer settings and discovered the the issue takes two forms. Sometimes the screen has trouble tracking my finger. Ill swipe my finger around, and the phone will not register my finger smoothly unless I press down hard. Then sometimes this issue will randomly fix itself and the phone will smoothly track my finger on the screen without the need to press down hard. When this happens however, a new problem arises. There will be a persistent ghost tap in the upper left hand corner. The screen thinks it's getting repeatedly pressed. Additionally, the location it thinks its being pressed sometimes moves a drop around.
When I downgrade back to 4.4.2 however the problem disappears. I've tried multiple 4.4.3 roms, and even tried running the 4.4.3 RUU, yet the issue persists. What could possibly be the problem. Could it be hardware related? In which case why does it only show on 4.4.3?
I really need to fix this, and will offer a bounty of $10 to anyone who will work with me to try to figure out what exactly the issue is, and fix it. I can send videos and logcats if need be.
Bump. I could really use help with this issue...
The second problems happens to me too
Sometimes when I open the gmail app, an email is pressed on its own without me touching the screen.
This happened a lot of times.
Has anyone else encountered this?
Weird... Are you running a custom kernel?

Good question.
I'm on HTC stock 2.22.401.4 and didn't encounter this problems with the actual or predecessor firmwares. So it could either be a problem with the GPE 4.4.3 kernel, or caused by a custom kernel installed. The - as I think - only alternative is that one of the installed apps is causing issues ..
