Home screen reboots after returning to it or pressing home button

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.

[Q] Multi Window disappeared

Hello, I don't know why, but my multi window just disappeared! I tried change the ROM from XXDME6 to DMG1, wipe data, cache and dalvik, restore with Odin, uncheck and check the option in Settings/Display/Multi Window, nothing appears to solve the problem. I used to use it, but it simply is gone. When I hold the back button it does nothing, no sidebar. Anyone know how to fix it?

Did you by any chance modify your screen dpi?
If so, try restoring it to 320 dpi and see if multi-window comes back.

I don't think that's my problem, since I'm 100% stock

did you try clearing data for com.sec.android.app.flashbarservice?
it's the app responsible for multi window.

[Q] [URGENT HELP] Nothing is working!

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!

[Q] Phone icon disappeared

Do I'm running everything stock, including stock launcher and after a reboot my phone icon disappeared. Still says phone underneath icon, but icon is missing. Anyone else have this happen or know a fix?

Reboot has not fixed mine.

Have you tried clearing the cache from the phone application? I don't think clearing the data will make you lose any important information since contacts used an app called "contact storage. " if you choose to clear data, you may miss out on your settings. Also try downloading a different launcher and then going back to TW

Security and Screen Lock Issues

Hi everyone,
I have a weird issue. I cannot change my screen lock type from swipe. When I click on it it kicks me back out to the main settings screen. Also, when I try to click on "add fingerprint" nothing happens.
I tried to clear credentials, etc. Rebooting, wiping cache/dalvik and nothing. I am running Oxygen OS 4.1 (7.1.1) with Elemental Kernel. I haven't noticed when this issue started since I just now figured out a way to use Android Pay while rooted (MagiskSU), so it could have been going on for a while I just never had a lockscreen other than swipe.
Has anyone experienced this? Any ideas short of wiping and re-installing my ROM? I have not tried that yet.
Thanks in advance!
