[Q] 2.3 Update

I updated my Desire HD to 2.3 and i have a problem my home screen ui is moving very very slowly with a normal wallpaper when i put a live wallpaper its even worse.
When i had 2.2 i never had this problems anyone have any answers.
UI moves the same way with or without USB debugging.

is it just the home screen?
is the 'All Apps' menu acting the same?
and how about the UI of other apps?

Only the home screen is moving slow the menu and apps are moving perfectly

given that you dont have some 3rd party widget that MAY be slowing down the homescreen
Try going into Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All>
Then go to HTC Sense (the one with the icon of a home screen) and click Clear Data (NOTE: this will remove all the widgets from the home screen)
Personally, im not 100% sure if this will work, but it has helped me in some problems with my home screen.
tell me the result.

nop its still the same slow moving home screen

in that case, you have two options---
1) You could do a factory reset (since you just updated, i dont think it'll be a big problem) but remember to backup your data, apps, etc... (IM not 100% sure that it'll work either, but if it doesnt then i think you have a problem with your ROM)
2) You could wait for someone to come and answer.

i did the factory reset a few days after the update to see if it would help but no such luck

Then i THINK the problem could be with your ROM.
Try installing it again. If you're looking for an official source - CLICK HERE. (thanks go to andy)
Thats an official ROM, if you have CWM recovery, then i would suggest a stock-rooted ROM CLICK HERE

reinstaling the update worked perfectly now my phone home screen is moving perfect it dosent feel like a nokia 3310

[Q] Icons in App Drawer Stack On Top Of One Another

Alright my friends, this one has me at a loss. Quick sitrep.. I've been using Fresh Evo for a while but I hated the G.B. updated cause there was just too much core functionality that wasn't working right, so I went back to Froyo and really didn't care too much. Last night I went ahead and ran the update to Fresh Evo 4.2.0.0. (GB) and all was well.
Turns out that on G.B. using Launcher Pro, when I open the app drawer and switch from portrait to landscape, effectively forcing the redraw with auto rotate...after it rotates the icons in the app drawer all stack up in the top left corner. One on top of the other...like a deck of cards. If I initiate a swipe they come back, but this is effin' annoying. I've been to Launcher Pro's website, seen a buttload of these reports on his site, but absolutely not one response from the dev, nor a remedy for this situation.
So, anyone here seen this situation and ultimately fixed it or might have a fix for me? I've already tried multiple fixes from wiping cache, trying again...NOT using titanium backup to reinstall app+data and installing manually from market, using the 3D app drawer effect and reinstalling the ROM entirely (even though I'm fairly certain it's not ROM related) Help?!

[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] Home Screen Offset - Solved

This evening when I unlocked (as in, from the lock screen) my Verizon HTC One M8 it appeared that the Sense home screen was stuck between two panels. Icons and widgets were half way off the left side of the screen. I tried to move them over but it kept putting them back to the left. I swiped through my panels and all of them are like that. I tried to remove widgets/icons/panels but nothing has helped. I've also shutdown and rebooted to no avail. It seems like the panels have gone from being tall rectangles to squares. It's making my home screen impossible to use. Has anyone else ever had this problem?
Version: 1.12.605.11, s-off, rooted, TWRP, stock (only a few frozen bloatware). All of the modifications were made shortly after s-off was released, no changes made since then.
I have some screenshots that I'll post shortly.
Thanks.

You could restore to the backup you made before doing any changes? Sounds like you froze the wrong thing. You could try unfreezing. If you have no backup you can download one or flash a Rom. All the high end roms work on all m8 variants.

Have you tried deleting them and replacing them?
EDIT: nevermind missed that in the OP. Try deleting the homescreen they're supposed to be placed on?

Solution Found
Thanks for the replies.
After trying a bunch of things, changing the font size seems to have reset everything to normal. A very odd bug, almost as if Sense was stuck in landscape mode while the display was portrait.

Question about icon frames

Quick question, I have seen a couple of places how to remove the white frames from around the icons.
Should be Settings > Display > Icon frames.
However in my new T-Mobile Note 7, that option is greyed out. I can't click on it to change the settings.
Has anyone else seen this? I would love some assistance.
Thanks in advance!

Icon Frames - Only for Default Settings

I think this option only works if you don't have a custom theme applied. If you switch back to the default theme, the option should be available again.

I've noticed the same thing using default thene.

Thanks for the reply. I haven't added a theme. the phone is brand new. I tried clicking on the default theme again just to make sure.
Icon frames is still unavailable.

Im having the same issue, and i got mine from tmobile

Maybe just download a frameless icon pack you like.

Having this problem too. Wonder if it's got to do with the system update that got applied on the first day?

Same possibly here. I'm on T-Mobile with default theme. I would like to remove the frame.

I have only been able to change this setting whike in easy mode (which i don't like). It is greyed out for me in standard mode as well.

Ok, I figured it out. I'm using Nova Launcher and Sammy doesn't like that. I changed to touch wiz for my launcher and suddenly Icon frames are available to change.
I changed back to Nova again afterwards, and the change stuck, so it seems to be a reasonable workaround.
Let me know if this works for you.

I don't have a custom launcher but I do have a theme. I deactivated the theme and it worked. I guess the theme locked the borders on. Sucks.

Yeah so I don't think it's launcher specific but rather theme based. Once you apply a theme it seems to lock in whatever the icon choice was. So I went back to default theme (which opened up the option again), changed to icon only, and then applied my theme again. Now it's locked again, but as icon only.

I have no theme and stock launcher and it is still greyed out. Switched to easy mode, made the change and went back and all is well now.

Has anyone had any luck removing the frames and using the Google Now Launcher? I can turn it off in TouchWiz and Easy Mode, but as soon as I switch back to Google Now Launcher they come back and the option to turn them off becomes I unavailable.
I might not mind these damned circles if it was consistent, but it only affects about half the app icons and the other half are normal. It's crazy to look at...

Yeah it seems like the only way to get them to stay TRULY off is to use touchwiz, using the standard them.
I know everyone is saying you can switch to off, then go back to what you were on - and it is "locked in off". I agree that it looks this way in the settings.
However the icons clearly have the frames around them still.
I have stuck with touchwiz for how smooth it is, but I think I am going to give up on it.
Also, the only reason why I say its smooth is because my initial setup was with "good lock" (needed to download an apk for that as it doesn't show up in store) and google now launcher and stuff - but there was a decent amount of choppiness and also the battery was not performing to my expectations. So I did a factory reset (which some people say fixes stuff like this) and sure enough, things got better. Battery better, smoothness better. However I have stuck with normal touchwiz since then... been afraid to change it since everything seems better now lol.

I hear you.
I had to try several different icon themes but i found one (that i like) that doesn't leave borders on the rest of the icons. I think it's some sort of default setting that goes unchanged when custom themes are created.
Trial and error. Good thing the Samsung theme store has a preview option. It reduces a lot of hassle.

Same here. I ended up going back to TouchWiz mostly because I couldn't stand the weird frames on some of the icons. It's not as good as the Google Now launcher, but it's good enough.

I've been searching for this answer for weeks, finally I found it, nearly started to think my device was faulty.

My option is unavailable and I have stock Rom and launcher.
But this option was available but not anymore. Can't understand why???
