I've got GingerVillain 2.6 and want to use the unlock pattern or a pin.
If I adjust it at the settings it works only for the first time. than i have to set it again. I hade the problem with GingerVillain 2.5, too.
I've no idea how to fix it. Maybe someone can help me.
I'm from Germany...so please forgive me for mistakes
Nobody an idea?
...for those who don't know what I mean, I've taken a video...
the setting is in german...so
Are you using LauncherPro? Maybe your launcher is messing up something. I tried it with GV 2.6 and it worked (without any custom launcher or how they are called )
Yes, I'm using LauncherPro, but I already tried it without LauncherPro. I changed with the "Home Switcher"-App to the default homescreen and it didn't work, too.
maybe the only solution is to flash it again. -.-
Have you tried to wipe the cache and dalvik cache after you changed the launcher to the default one? I don't know if this works, but you could try it.
Edit:
I would try it this way
1. Default launcher
2. Set pattern
3. Reboot into Recovery (don't lock the device before the reboot)
4. Wipe cache and dalvik cache
5. Boot
You could also try to remove the LaucherPro between step 1 and 2. I'm not sure as I told you before, but you can try it.
I tried your way but it did not work, too.
I made a Data & Cache wipe and installed everything again...now it works.
But it would be nice to know, what the problem was.

Lately everytime I pressed the home button or returned to the home screen the home screen reboots with a "Loading..." box and no inputs are accepted except dragging down the notification bar. Any ideas? Memory issues?
I've tried uninstalling a few apps to free up some memory, but nothing seems to really work. Also checked if my task killer was "killing" the home screen in some way but didn't see anything wrong there.
Currently running LeeDroid 2.2f Desire GSM
Any help would be appreciated!
Ideas anyone??
Boot in safe mode and see if it happens again.
If it doesn't it's a third party process that is causing it.
If it does, you'll probably need to reflash, but first you may try to erase cache and data of the "htc sense" system process.

By "safe mode" do you mean recovery or bootloader or what is safe mode?
Tried clearing data on HTC Sense process but all it did was erase my home screens, still has to reload the sense UI everytime I exit a full screen app.
I guess I'll try to reflash sometime, maybe I'll give cyanogen a try.
To enter safe mode you need to power on your device while holding the menu button till the home screen shows up.
Are you rooted? Try clearing cache and dalvik cache? I used to have that problem and clearing the caches helped (I have sense moved on to other roms though)
Tried safe mode and cleared both caches no apparent difference.
Will try updating to Cyanogen and see if the problem is persistent. Will update with how this goes!
Let me know how this goes, I recently flashed LeeDroid 2.2f and started to experience the exact same problem.
Flashed to 2.3b yesterday, so far no homescreen problems but we'll see how it goes.
Just flashed most recent Cyanogen, S-OFF, custom MTD partition, Firerat's a2sd, with launcher pro plus and quickdesk.
No more homescreen reloads!
But I must say this is the best configuration I've used thus far! Love the Cyanogen features compared to the more simple LeeDroid feature list and I can configure launcher pro to work the same as Sense but better. also have a lot more space for apps as well.
For those who dont know what quickdesk is TRY IT. IT IS AWESOME. Works swimmingly with any homescreen launcher.
Hmm, might give it a try then!
Is that Cyanogen or DeFroST?#
Cheers.

Cyanogen. I don't see anything in the features list in DeFroST that Cyanogen doesn't already have.
Hi,
I thought that to install wiui stable (2.2.3) all i had to do was go to recovery and install from zip to install wiui. I'm coming from CM7.2 quarx, but i didn't think that'd be a problem.
After the first install, it went fine, except there were tons of Force Closes (first for launcher) so i couldn't even use the phone. I then flashed the launcher pro for wiui .zip and then it booted up, but had different FCs (android.media process, and a couple others, i can't remember)
So after, i decided to reflsh to cm7.2, and it's fine. all my contacts are gone, and homescreensetups, etc. but it looks like all my apps are there, mms, call hstory, etc.
I then tried to reinstall wiui again, and now it's stuck in boot loop. I've tried wiping cache and dalvik, i just don't know what else to do.
If anyone can spare the time to help, i'd greatly appreciate it.
thank you
simple method..
flash CM7.2 again..backup all ur apps with the help of titanium backup...
go to recovery...wipe data..then flash wiui..wipe cache and delvik cache...reboot...
install titanium backup..restore all ur apps..
Advice for future..to avoid force closes, always wipe date before shifting to other ROMs!
Ye thanks, i did that. but when i restored my apps i got the FCs again. maybe something in my data is incompatible w/ wiui? oh well, I've gone back to CM7.2 again. but now i had to use sync[ix app to get all the pics back to my contacts. not sure why it didn't work like it did before.
The times I've done that, I've shut down the phone and restart because a simple reboot didn't do the job. Also, I run ROM Manager and fix permissions. I can't tell you the last time I had an FC.

Just restore the apps and not the app data, this is a problem I had when moving from CM7 to WIUI.
First run of WIUI I had loads of FC's. I wiped data, installed zip, wiped cache and dalvic again, then when going through Titanium backup I didnt restore the app data.
I have had no problems since then.
hope that helps, WIUI is really nice
Hi,
I am using RunnyDrOiD v5.0 on my desire z with sense 3.5 / Android 2.3.5
Out of sudden, and without installing new application, I am not able to see the background of the widgets (weather, clock, mail ...) and the icon description on the screen locker are showing in big red.
Attached are the pictures of whats going on.
Any idea what is the problem and the possible resolutions? Hope I don't have to install the ROM again and wipe data.
Thanks in advance.
Seems like your launcher doesn't start properly.. If rebooting doesn't solve your problem, then you can try to reflash without wiping. All System files are then put back to their original state, but your settings and installed apk's are not touched.
If that doesn't work, I think that you'll have to reflash with a full wipe.

Thanks man... SOLVED!
Re-flashed the ROM without wipe and everything works fine now.
Any idea why this happened? so that to avoid in future.
Saldy I have no clue.. Most likely there were some settings wrong or the launcher took to much ram memory to start properly, but I can't tell for sure. If this happends again, just reflash, and it works again.
Hi there guys,
I had an issue last night which seems to have "corrupted" data on my phone. I'll try to explain. I am running AOKP milestone 5 with Franco's 512GPU #191 and I was on the Play Store updating some apps. I remember that it was something like 10 apps being updated (I recall seeing Youtube, Google+, Maps, Instagram and Chrome in the list to update). While the apps were updating I went to the Franco Kernel updater app and changed the Power Mode to one of my customs, that is max CPU 15xx MHz, min CPU 12xx MHz, governor Performance. Went back to the Play Store to check how the updates were going and then the screen went black and the phone started to reboot. After that, it took more than the usual time to boot and when it finally did, I had everything "messed up". I had a dialog asking me what launcher I want to use, I choose Nova and all the widgets can't be loaded, followed with lots of Force Closes. Almost every app I try to enter leads to a force close, and I have noticed that when, for instance, I open Toshl or other apps in which I had info, before it force closes it behaves like it was the first time I open the app (asking for the login info, etc).
I tried going to recovery to clear Dalvik cache and cache partition, tried to Fix permissions, without any luck. Is there anything I should try to do before wiping everything? I have some app's data that I didn't want to lose... I could try to get some logs if someone leads me on how to do that.
I really don't think that this is directly related to Franco's kernel or AOKP, but would sure appreciate some help/guidance!
Thanks!
Also I have just tried to dirty flash AOKP M5 and gapps again (wiping cache partition and dalvik cache) without any luck... Anyone has other ideas I should try before performing a full wipe? I am leaving the full wipe to my last resource.
Thanks
Try running using fix permissions from your recovery, it sounds like they may have gotten messed up
Should I reflash ROM and gapps after fixing permissions in the recovery? Or just fix the permissions and reboot?
Thanks!
Also, how long should it take to run the Fix permissions? My recovery is showing me "Fixing permissions..." for almost 10 minutes. Is this expected?
Thanks!
EDIT - It seems like I had the same problem reported here: http://www.drewgreen.net/wordpress/tag/galaxy-nexus/
I followed the steps and am now waiting for the fix permissions to finish. Will let you know if it helped!
EDIT 2 - Although I don't think it is perfect (I'm still getting FC's on Swiftkey, for instance), it has recovered almost everything! Now it's maybe a good time to make some backups and do a clean install!
Thanks!!
I have a HTC Wildfire S, rooted, with an AOKP rom.
One day, my phone was running slow, so I rebooted into recovery and cleared dalvik cache and system cache. I rebooted the system and absolutely NOTHING is working. after I unlock the phone, a bunch of processes stop working. Pressing the home button makes Nova Launcher crash. I have since uninstalled it, and still nothing is working.
I can't even turn the phone off using the power button. The only way I can shut the screen off is by removing the battery manually.
EDIT: I tried a factory reset, and it's still the same as before. NOTHING is working. I can go into Settings, that's about it.
A list of apps that stop working:
Link2sd
facebook
outlook
yahoo weather
google.process.gapps
nova launcher
swiftkey
superuser
ETC..
I have attached pictures so you guys can have a sense of what my problem is. Sorry if the pictures are blurry, I had to use my Ipod touch to take them.
Sorry If i have made any errors in this thread. I am new here, I just created an account right now so I can find some help to solve my issue.

Thanks @Guitarfreak12 and @aWFSuser
I did what you guys said, and I reflashed the same ROM and everything is working fine. The only downside, although, is that I have had to re-install all my apps again.
Also, would you guys know what caused the problem? I'd like to know so that I can ensure it doesn't happen again in the future.

Did you had a lot of applications installed and linked along with dalvik to sd-ext?
Then after clearing the cache on reboot the dalvik files will regenerate in the /data partition if there are a lot of apps and the /data overflows then your apps will stop working without the dex files. And clearing the dalvik cache usually doesn't help in increasing speed.........next time you should go into link2sd and use the "clean dalvik cache" option there.........

This actually happens because Link2SD can also link dalvik cache files as well, what the recovery must have deleted would be the symbolic links that the Link2SD script creates, so next time if you want to clear the dalvik cache, use the option found in the Link2sd app
Alright so it seems, instead of using the dalvik cache cleaner on recovery, I should just use the one located in Link2sd. I'll be sure to do that next time to ensure that no problems persist.
Thanks for all the help!
