[Q] The Express 3.0 ROM dated 1.25.12 lockscreen issue - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First off I want to give props to outerdepth and the rest of the developers for the time and effort he has given to the development of this ROM. I just downloaded this ROM and like I normally do on a new ROM I first start by trying to make the lock screen changes. In the OP you state:
"*Note: Use personalize/lockscreen shortcuts, window will popup saying use Rosie Utility or Shortcuts Lockscreen.
To edit shortcuts, choose Rosie Utility, then edit your shortcuts and hit done. VOILA!!!
To get weather lock, choose Shortcut Lockscreen, then click the checkbox for weather and hit done. Don't edit shortcuts from this utility."
When I go to the personalize/lockscreen I do not get a popup window at all. Can you please advise if I need to wipe again? I followed your instructions and wiped everything three times plus a factory wipe including extsd. I have not gone as far as installing my apps yet so if I need to reflash let me know. I would of posted this on your thread but not enough posts.

I have the same issue. I had the previous version 2.1 installed and this featuyre worked just as he described...but I did a full wipe/userdata/factory reset and installed the 3.0 themed version yesterday and it doesn't work. When I use the personalize>lockscreen it takes me right to the edit screen where the check box for the weather is...there is no other options that I can see.

I just downloaded the ROM again and still the same issue with the lock screen. Do you have any icons on the lower bar, all that I have is the apps and the personalize the other three are blank. If I look at the screen captures that were on post 9 of OP it shows that these control something. I thought that it might of been a bad download but after numerous downloads from the first link on the OP that were not successful and then finally using the link near the end of the post but still can not get this ROM to work.

[Q] Gingerbread Keyboard install

Hey, I recently used the method for installing a gingerbread keyboard on my Desire from here: levelx.me/technology/android-technology/android-2-3-gingerbread-keyboard-for-htc-desire/
however after following the instructions it didn't appear in the menu's or if i tired to long press to select input method. It also messed with all my icons and widgets, totally removing my music widget from my homescreen and changing how the icons were displayed (massive gaps between an icon and the one above it) I was wondering if there is any way to undo this install. I had a look round and couldn't really find anything (either that or my searching fails horribly). If anyone knows how to uninstall a single zip that would be great because at the moment the only way round I can see is to re-flash.
PS: I checked in my applications and it didn't appear there either
Cheers
You have to enable it in settings-keyboard and language. If you already did that and it still doesn't work it didn't install.

[Q] JB notification drawer disapeared

I tried the Paranoid Android JB build and LOVE IT!!!
but I have having a problem that I can't figure out why it is happening.
The issue is the notification drawer (being able to pull down on the screen and see notifications) is not showing up except on the "lock screen". it is strange that I can see the notification drawer (I hope that is the right name) on the lock screen but as soon as I unlock with a swipe the status bar and notification drawer disappears. Is there a setting that is causing this to disappear that I can get it back. This did happen before and I was able to get it back after trying everything I could think of. I don't know what the final thing I tried. I was just so happy to get it back. but it is gone again and nothing I tried is working.
Any ideas??? I checked with the ROM developer thread and no one is having this issue that I can find and I have not posted enough to post in the thread...
That happened to me too. I did a full wipe... data/system, cache/dalvik then flash ROM(some ROMs have gapps already installed)/ fix system/ reboot.... That's what I've done & it worked... if u need to? Just go back into recovery & flash gapps in on top of ROM(maybe wipe data/dalvik b4 flashing gapps, just in case). Hope I helped

I know Paranoid Android has an option for expanded desktop. If you enter that option, it'll get rid of the status bar and notification drawer. Make sure expanded desktop is disabled.

Status/Notification bar is no longer visible

I attempted to flash a .zip patch to remove the QSlide Apps part of the notification drop-down menu, and since then I've been getting constant messages of "System UI has stopped" and the status bar does not show at all. Tried a factory reset on the phone itself but to no avail. Going to attempt to flash system stock ROM from a .zip ... any other suggestions / advice???
Thanks in advance

Why do you guys keep flashing things without making a backup first?! Unfortunately there is no other way for you to get back to working order; you have to LGPST back to stock. Next time make a backup if you're going to flash ANYTHING.

I had something simpler happen with exposed framework, my status bar would disappear then I would get an error "system UI has stopped" . Just un installed all modules and removed exposed. Not sure if you are using exposed. But that's how I fixed mine.
When the f*ck did we get ice cream??
Can a mod move this to the Q&A section please before it gets out of hand. Not flaming you bro but we as a community need to keep things in order and post where we are supposed to post. Don't worry we've all posted in the wrong section a time or two.

You dont need to flash the whole thing just overwrite LGSystemUI.apk with the original one I attached, set correct permission and reboot.
You should backup any file you decide to change first..luckily the phone will still boot with a bad systemui apk
Hopefully that fixes it, hopefully what he flashed didn't change any other files outside of Systemui.

Thanks for the apk and sorry about posting in the wrong forum at first.....
How exactly should I go about installing the new apk though? When I used Package Installer it keeps saying "Application not installed" and doesn't run. Sideload Wonder Machine or something equivalent maybe? I had a tough time today with setting up LGPST so I'd like to save that as a last resort if possible.... Thanks for the responses though!
Never mind....figured it out. Forgot it had to be pushed over.... Needless to say I need to spend some more time around Android! It's been a while since I first got in the game.
Status bar is back up and running, and it even maintained removal of the QSlide Apps portion, which is what I was trying to fix all along -- my original screw up! All's well that ends well I guess.
Thanks all for your help! :good:

[Q] My G3's home screen keeps refreshing

So I am not sure what is causing this but after rooting my phone, I installed Xposed, G3 Tweaks, did some tweaking, rebooted fine a couple times, then I decided to see about changing the system font. Downloaded Fonter, an xposed module and chose Roboto (after downloading).
Then when I rebooted, my home screen just keeps refreshing, alternating between black and the wallpaper. I can't open anything on the home screen, not even the appdrawer.
I can open the notifications panel, and go into settings and Apps...which is where I uninstalled Xposed and Fonter, etc but on reboot - same thing.
Any ideas? Oh and I can boot in safe mode and everything's fine there.
Thanks in advance.
download exact same ROM from LG or elsewhere and install with LG flash tool 2014 etc, nothing will be lost in terms of apps(everything back to normal) as long as its the same ROM version and you select "normal flash" gl.

Thanks - this worked, although it failed to get into download mode on the first two tries.
But I still don't get it....why didn't Factory reset clear everything? When I rooted the phone, did it stay rooted even after the factory reset?
Thanks again.
Factory reset , afaik, doesn't clean up the system partition thus root and any system tweaks remain intact.
solved without reflash
I had the exact same problem on my d855......my method was more straight forward than reflashing the Rom...Google now seemed to open with no problems....did a phone search for fonter from the Google now search.....fonter shows up as an app.....open fonter and quickly hit the 3 bar menu on the left to corner and settings in the fonter app....you have to be really quick in order to open the fonter settings page before it refreshes....try using multiple fingers at once ...once in the settings page in the fonter app...choose the "restore default" option and reboot......everything should be them back to normal.....
It might take a few tries....but this is definitely easier than reflashing the Rom

Yeah I realised I could have done that but I wasn't 100% sure it was fonter since I did other tweaks and was pending a reboot.
Also I could have switched the shell to Easy Home instead of the default and that would have given me an app drawer. I would have left it like that if the flashing didn't work. Finished everything about 4 am.
An interesting sidenote....the battery life on the phone is *considerably* better, even after installing all my apps

build 47.2.A.10.45

Hi,
I have updated my XZ1 C. to this new build and I have noticed that when I unlock the phone my homescreen remains "stuck", doesn't refresh itself and widgets, for example the clock widget, shows the old time when I locked the phone. If I swipe left or right to next screens all widgets and app's icons remain still and I just see to slide the background image. To interrupt this behavior I have to tap the button to launch xperia home and show all apps icons.
Does this happen to you?

All those bugs and glitches are usually caused by updating the way you did. I stopped using this feature because i had similar problems. You need to perform a clean install using newflasher. Download newflasher and the firmware through XperiFirm (its boundled with FlashTool). Back up your contacts, pictures and any data you do not want to loose as this procedure will basically make your phone brand new. Remember to delete persist.sin file from the files extracted from firmware file(.FTF file).

i don't think this is needed. Instead of flashing anything anyhow, it's usually a good idea to try factory reset first. It's simple and you can't brick your phone. If that doesn't help, then try other stuff.

I would just restart the phone first and then maybe try to wipe the cache if needed. If that fails then I guess its time for a factory reset.
I would love the clock back in it's old Oreo position.
It's awful ''they'' force us to get used to the clock on the LEFT, without the option of putting it back to the RIGHT.
