Random screen flickers with Calkulin's and Widget Locker? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hey guys - I'm running calkulin's v1.5a with the rogue 1.1.3 kernel. I was installing Widget Locker and once it finished and went to the tutorial the screen continued to flicker on and off. I had to reboot the phone before I was able to see it again. I carried on with configuring it for another hour or so with no problems.
Then the problem came back. It continued to flicker on and off. Once I was able to unlock the screen with my custom unlock theme slider it was fine. Any ideas?

Try uninstalling then reinstalling widget locker.

Cant get Power Control widget back... need some help

Last night I installed legendary Rom, but after installation, my Power widget didnt show up.... I tried clearing data/cache, re-installing, same thing. I have tried a few techniques advised on these forums with no luck. Today I installed ACS ICS ROM, and still no luck. Will I ever get this widget back? Anyone have any advice?
I had this very problem after flashing Legendary rom. The actual icons for each button on the widget weren't showing up.
I removed the widget from all screens. Then after doing about 5 reboots, fixing permissions and doing a backup in CWM, the widget returned to normal.
Weird bug. I also made sure to do an md5 checksum comparison before I installed the rom too.

Not necessarily.
During my upgrade process, I decided to ditch all my data and start with 100% fresh on stock before going custom. So I ODIN'ed back to EC05 before moving to EI22. Once on EI22, I then put Legendary rom on my phone and noticed this power control widget bug.
Yeah, I may Odin back to ec05.

I had the same problem with the power control widget on the Legendary Rom. No biggie: I used Widgetsoid to create a better power control widget.
This happened on the rom I am on as well. Put the widget on your homescreen and give it about ten minutes. The icons should appear eventually.

Post rooting issues.

After installing juggernaut 5.0 on my phone with the ics ultimate theme I have had a couple of problems.
I have noticed on my home screen (i have cnn, accuweather, and and retro clock and date widgets in it) I have seen portions of the screen flash blue (like half the screen sometimes)
Did I kill my phone?
Also swiftkey x keyboard keeps on disabling itself.
Please help me, thanks

Also the blue flash problems takes over the whole screen at times and it looks like it has lines going down in them.

Did you install the correct ICS theme? The one for 5.0 and not 4.1?
give it another reboot then perhaps the rom will settle down....thats what i would do...

You also want to make sure you always restart after flashing a ROM, then go back into recovery and flash a theme. Don't flash them back to back.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Well I just rebooted my phone let's see if it happens again... Yes it's the 5.0 version of the theme and i rebooted after I flashed the rom before I installed the theme.

[Q] Wallpaper scaling down randomly

Hi all,
Sometimes when I'm in an app and go back to the home screen, my wallpaper will scale down and show black bars up top and at the bottom (letterbox). Only fix is restarting. Even re applying the wallpaper doesn't help.
Any one else having this issue? Running the 4.0.4 ROM from the dev section.

Bump.
Just happened again after opening exDialer and going back to home.
Would love it if somebody could give me a pointer as to how to troubleshoot this. There are no wallpaper setting apps installed, FYI. Just the stock gallery.
Here's a screenshot of before and after. You'll notice the top and bottom letterboxes in the after pic. Just randomly happens, and only a restart fixes it.
I've never experienced this issue. Maybe its an ADW Launcher bug? Does this happen with the stock launcher?
Never had the stock launcher on long enough to tell, hah. Guess I'll try it for a day.

It's an adw ex thing. I installed apex launcher beta, which is a lot better and faster on ics imo, and the issue went away.

Bumping this, as I recently started having the same issue on Nova Launcher.Its doing this on every ROM I try. Any ideas?

help with issues with synergy spr gn2 note 2 rom

Hi all, I finally decided to root and install a custom rom on my note2 however im having some issues with the synergy rom I need some guidance on please.
1. I installed r83 and then r85 over r83 but my device still says my build version is synergyrom_r83 #
2. while running this rom I am experiencing many freezes that require me to pull the battery and seems to be freezing when the phone is in landscape mode.
thanks for reading.
1. That doesnt matter. Its an oversight on my part.
2. Turn off the ripple effect in Settings>Lock Screen> Ripple effect

Thanks for the speedy reply, I will try your suggestion and report.
@the_plattypus
I turned off the ripple effect as suggested unfortunately it is still freezing. Any other suggestions?
Also my battery is being used to quickly, like 10% in 30 mins.
Also when the screen is off and I hit the home screen to turn on the screen sometimes it is bringing up the recent apps menu as the stock rom did before the last official update.
Can anyone else assist with above issues?
I would love to stay on this rom, I hope these issues are fixable.

ok I will install the perseus kernel.
how about the freezing and the home button turning on the screen but bringing up the recent app list?
I really appreciate your assistance buddy!!!
I tried turning off the ripple affect but it still froze so I installed the No Lock app and my note2 hasn't froze since.
I installed the perseus kernal and my battery life is now great.
what can be done about the home button issue? once more the last issue is that when pressing the home button to turn on the screen it is also opening the recent apps list as if I was holding down the home button. this same issue was fixed in the latest official note 2 update.
how can I stop it from doing this?
Platt posted a fix for several things in the synergy thread OP. Flash that and see if the home button issue is resolved.

It probably wont be resolved with that. I still experience it. Ill need to redo the mc2 update to see if a mod from ma7 carried the code over to mc2 base.

Ok thanks, I will stay tuned to your thread for a upcoming fix.
Loving the rom bud and thanks for the assistance.
