Well since I don't have enough posts it won't let me post in the Dev section...ugh....anyway, I just wiped and flashed MazWoz-EVO ICS ROM BETA 4 and had to do it a few times because it kept screwing up after I would restore my apps and data via Titanium. I figured since this was ICS and my previous was Gingerbread there were some issues so I didn't restore data this last time and thought all was well.
I can't seem to get the browser to work and I tried Chrome Beta but I already read on the forum that is not working right with this ROM so I'll try something different. But I heard the ICS Browser is really good so I want to try it! Someone else posted the same issue but no response yet:
slikgman: My browser stopped working and i don't know when and why. I keep getting the message "unfortunately, browser stopped working" i am now using Dolphin HD browser. I've tried using the reboot and ROM manager permission fix to correct the problem.

Then I just went to unlock the phone a minute ago and my background showed up but no icons and none of the home buttons did anything. I could scroll between all the home screens but they were all blank except for my background! Hmmm...maybe I tried ICS too soon...though people on the Dev forum seem to be having a lot of luck with this ROM
Can't really help, but sounds like a bad install. I've been running this ROM for 2 weeks with no issues other than what is stated in OP.

Can I just re-flash the zip or will it force me to wipe again? I just got some of my main apps up and going so I hate to wipe for the third time in the last 12 hours...lol
Also, do you know how to change the lock screen options? I use Handcent for messaging and want to swap out the standard "slide up" to go to Handcent instead of Messaging. I can't figure out how to edit this for the life of me!
Until you've gotten a good install I would always wipe a couple times per the instructions in the OP.
Also, when changing the lock screen icons there is a trick to it. It's discussed many times over in the OP.
Basically (going from memory since I am not running the rom at the moment) you go to the lockscreen changer, if you want to add weather only you use the rosie utility. Otherwise you have to use the other utility option that is there. You can add/change whatever icons you want by tapping the icon and selecting the replacement. The icons on this screen may not update. Once you close the utility the icons and shortcuts should be as you desire. If you go back in it will reset and you will have to do the process over again.
What recovery are you using?

Oops, i just realized my response was for "The Express..." rom shortcuts. Sorry about that!
So to change lockscreen shortcuts go to Apps -> Evervolv toolbox -> Lockscreen -> Lockscreen style -> Custom Mapping -> App shortcut -> Applications....and so on.

I was gonna say! Thanks that's exactly what I needed!
Oh FYI...I sort of figured out the browser issue. All I had to do was go into my Manage Apps, go to Browser and did a Force Stop, Clear Data, and Clear Cache and then went to try it again and it has worked fine since! Weird....
Also, does anyone know where the Car Dock settings are for ICS? I'd like to change the setting to not go into Car Dock mode when docked, since it leaves the phone lit up the whole time. Some ROMs have that option and some don't, but I'd like to know if ICS has that built in and how I get to it.
Another weird thing about this ROM....
If I long press on the home screen to add an app icon, I get the usual list (Apps, Shortcuts, Widgets and Wallpapers) plus choice for Nova Actions. I can add shortcuts and widgets just fine but when I click Apps, it will show me my list of apps but when I select an app it just opens the app! It doesn't add the icon to my home screen! Annoying even though I can still add it there by long pressing the app itself.

When i shut my phone off and turn it back on it will get to the widget locker lock screen like it should but once i slide to unlock there will be no icons on my screen? I have root and am using widgetlockers home helper thing it also did this using lancher pro.
I usually have to turn the phone on and off a few times before the icons will show after unlock.
Any ideas?
Maybe you should set it to default when it asks which one you want to use..
Or I haven't understood your problem
COnfused.com
I would ask in the widget locker and go launcher help thread in the main android app section. I use both in conjunction and have had zero issues but I know the last go update was fixing some icon issues so make sure you update.
Also more info could be helpful. Such as what rom, kernel, etc
go lancher is set as the default. It's once you unlock from the lock screen there will be no icons.
I'm using the stock ROM rooted KE7 2.3.3

I'm not sure what you mean? I really haven't did anything but set go lancher as the default lancher and in widget locker i had to set it to use WL HomeHelper (optional) if i don't you can double press the home button and bypass the screen lock.
It's random when the icons don't come up after a unlock.

Are you using custom icons? If not, or even if so bring it up to the go dev team. Definitely looks to be something on their end. Have to tried to replicate it without widget locker?
Nothing to do with widget locker I think (I use it too in conjuction with Go Launcher) however there seems to be a bit of a bug in Go Launcher where icons randomly disappear - the last update was supposed to have fixed that but hasn't really, some still occasionally go missing from my home screens too. The easiest thing to do for now is to put all your apps and shortcuts how you want them, then backup the configuration from within Go Launcher preferences, next time they go walkies just hit restore configuration and job done. Just remember to back up the config every time you add or remove stuff.
I'm using go launcher and widgetlocker for 24 hours now and having no problems at all, initially the launcher was slow, but after 1-2 hours when I used it again, it was smooth, maybe cache related thing

I am using go lancher themes from the market. It did it again the whole screen is blank after a unlock no icons at all only the wallpaper shows. Lancher Pro did the same thing.
I can go into go lancher settings click on themes and nothing comes up.
I used widgetlocker and go launcher ex. I have not had any problems.
Preferences -> Operation settings -> Screen rotation (switch off)
I had the same problem, got rid of it by applying this setting. Wish you luck
Already had the rotation off.
If i hold down the home button after i unlock and bring up the task manger and find widget locker and do a force close all my icons come back.
As a note, I get this exact same issue with ADW Launcher EX.
Happens only right after a reboot, and not every time - WidgetLocker Lockscreen appears, I unlock and find a completely blank screen (Only the notification bar shows). Pressing the menu button brings up the ADW Launcher Ex menu though...
Restarting ADW Launcher doesn't seem to help, only rebooting a couple times until it does appear seemed to help me, but I'll try force closing widget locker itself next time.
I initially set ADW as default launcher, but then set the WL HomeHelper as default in widgetlocker settings, which I believe is the correct way to do it to block the home button from auto unlocking etc.
Edit: Restarted the phone just to test, and force closing widgetlocker does do the trick - minor annoyance only I guess

Yes it is for me it seems to only do it when i'm in a hurry lol
I use widgetlocker and GoLauncher too.
I've had the same problem this morning too, but a reboot of the device fixed the problem.
I've had similar issues without Widgetlocker installed, so I think the cause is to be found in GoLauncher. But the phone reboots very fast so I am not really bothered by it.
I used LP and switched to GO Launcher.
GoLauncher is set as default launcher at the first boot.
In WidgetLocker i disabled the homebutten with homehelper to stop the unlock by the homebutton.
No the problem:
When i reboot, there is a message that says "go launcher is not your default launcher." (Attach 1)
When i click ok, i'm in the assignments of WidgetLocker (Attach 2)
When i disable the homehelper in WL there is no problem when i reboot.
But i want to disable the homebutton...
Any ideas?
BTW: LP is disabled!
I'm using Litening Rom 6.1
I had exactly the same issue and stopped using Go Launcher as a result. It would only happen sometimes but it would require me to restart my phone. I now use ADW instead and it works fine.
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

Hello i flashed elite ICS ROM with elite Kernel ..with default apex lancher..i really like the launcher but when i for example go to apex settings/drawer settings and i change drawer animation from fly in/out to none ...i touch home ... and when i open up my drawer the effect is still there when i look again to setting effect is chosen the same with other functions could something block my launcher or smg?

By the way the EliteRom already includes the Kernel so need to flash both unless the kernel is newer than the Rom.
Trying to replicate what you did, I went into drawer setting, selected none then hit the back arrow to back out to the home screen which was blank for a moment (I guess cuz the UI was restarting) and I clicked on the drawer icon and no animation occurred.
So it might be that you may need to press back instead of home to save the settings (home might be treated as a cancel & exit).
EDIT: Though if I go back and change it back to fly in/out, and hit the home button instead of back, I get the same blank pause, and animation returns. If I set none, and 'home' button again, blank pause, and no animation. So it seems to be working for me regardless if I use the back button or home.
What version of EliteMod are you using, and are you using any customizations?
actually i think that the kernel is bundled ... so you dont need to install it ... and to my problem a tried ..and still the same ... everything disappear from my screen ...and then it pops up i click to my app drawer and effect is back
i am using newest version
no customization
Go into Apex Settings -> About Apex Launcher and see what version you have.
I'm on 1.2.4 , if you're earlier click on the "Check for update now" and apply it, as I've done that in the past.
By the way are you using a DataSwap mod he provides (or sd swap if not that)? (and in that light, are you using an sd-ext partition).

For some reason my stock launcher has lost a few of it's settings and isnt showing my widgets now, also i cannot scroll across the homescreen icons like i was able to. Can i get it back or what's the best way to clear it to start again? When i press the middle button now, instead of it showing the five homescreens, it does nothing.

Add up to 6 shortcuts to second screen. This means one more. I tried to do 7, but I simply don't have enough screen space with proper padding to squeeze in 7.
I can only confirm this working on the pure stock rom. Try on others, but do a backup first.
Another finding is you have to use the stock launcher to add it. The reason this is, is because you have to drag and drop it into second screen from the homescreen or app drawer. Once you have it set you can go back to using your launcher of preference.
Installation:
Flash attached zip through recovery or unzip it and move to system\priv-app\ConeShortcut and set perms rw-r-r. I am also including the original app in .bak format in case some forget to backup their original.
Again as of now I can only confirm working on the stock rom and using the stock launcher to set. Second screen is tied into so many aspects of the system so it is a very tricky thing to work on.
As you can see from the screenshots if you try to add it from the settings menu you will only have 5 options. If you look at the preview screen you can see my 6 apps and that I'm able to shuffle them around.
Thanks, I applied this mod to the rom I'm using the No-NaMe ROM!! And it's working flawlessly. Keep them coming.
Just wondering if you can get this mod to work on the other second screens such as recent or contacts.
Works great. Hope this is a gateway to other mods for the second screen.

Everything.. App shortcuts, signature, second screen apk, build prop, system ui, framework res, and the stock launcher. It's pretty much incorporated into every major aspect of the system somewhere.
I was thinking that too becauae after I updated to xposed 79 I started having some issues too..

I wonder if the settings menu can be modified to fit the extra shortcut as well. Also I wonder what other things could be done with the second screen. Seems to me like the default features are somewhat limited. What I would like to see is functioning widgets on the second screen.
Using apex launcher, if you tap and hold the background, you get a menu that pops up to add things to the home screen , if you select "shortcut" and then "activities" you get a list of all sorts of menus, many of the menu items aren't functional, seems there are a lot of settings and features that are included in the base Android version being used, and the features were removed, however the hidden menus for these features still exist through these "activities" shortcuts, many developer options can be accessed. For example there's a hidden menu to change notification LED settings, to change LED color etc, even though the v10 has no notification LED. There's a whole drop-down section for second screen, including a "background chooser". The background chooser opens up and lets you crop an image to the exact dimensions of the second screen, however when you apply the settings, nothing happens. It seems LG was in the process of developing further features but stopped... Maybe we can take the next step

Most likely some things will be implemented on the next v series phone. The code has been written just not intiated..
Why should we wait and hope it gets done on the next phone, and then spend all our money on it... Why not just initiate the code ourselves? If I had more coding knowledge, and a more structured chain of thought... Lol I have the processing power to figure this stuff out, just not enough ram..
Does anyone have the orig. apk or zip file. The Fav. App Tab disappeard and i need the original file t fix the issue.
