[Q} Why is my phone suddenly not letting me add HTC widgets to the homescreen? O_o

Out of no where, I suddenly can't add HTC widgets. Any other widget I add to the home screen pops up fine, but, when I press on an HTC one, the phone just freezes up (not completely frozen, bc I can press back to get out of it).
Any help would be appreciated.
Sidenote: The widgets I'd put on the home screen before this problem still function fine.

Defintiely did and it's still a no go. This is really strange.

Factory reset would be the next thing to do but you will lose all of your data

Yea I'm just running the stock 2.2 (rooted/Deodexed).
Is it possible to flash ove my rom without wiping everything first?

Go to the app page in settings and clear cache

Ok guys, so I talked to a friend, and he gave me a pretty good idea of what happened.
When I switched to the rooted 2.2 rom form rooted 2.1, I restored my system data with titanium backup. I didn't knwo you're only supposed to use it for user apps,
Basically, that screwed things up in terms of what settings and things like that were even searching for.

Ah, yes, it seems TiB is too powerful for us. I made that mistake at first as well. Flipz has a nice writeup about this issue, too.

[SOLVED][Q] Camera freezing

I'm running CM10 nightlies for a while now my camera has been failing. Everytime I try to take a picture, after a couple of seconds, it just freezes. Has anyone had this and tried fixing it?
So turns out that Smart Stay is causing the problem because it is trying to access the camera the same time I am trying to use it. So to fix it I just added any app that uses the camera to the exception list option in smart stay. Finally an end to this annoying problem. (or is it? ...I really hope it is.)

I'll definitely give it a try, but what about if I still want to use cm10? Has anyone had any progress fixing this problem or at least finding the source of it?

In the changelog for cm10 it says the next nightly will introduce a "Fix Ignore Keyevents", maybe, just maybe, that will help!

Many people do not have this problem. Are you sure its not something you installed?

I have odined back to stock, and wiped&&formatted everything possible. I did come across a thread (the link I have since lost) that mentioned something about possibly gapps causing the problem. Just know I had the idea that maybe because I am using JustinBean's inverted gapps there is a problem. I will investigate and see if that helps.

I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner. So even after the update, no change.. still freezing - GREAT! So then I started getting really aggrivated and started to uninstall apps that "Pimp My Rom" included, and I thought flash might be the culprit. And then it hit me, this is a camera problem right? Well then what app uses the camera? SMART STAY of course, and it made even more sense because it takes a sample at a certain interval and that explains that I am able to use the camera only for the short amount of time (always the same amount of time). So to fix the problem I just set in the exception list in smart stay an exception for any app that uses the camera. I really hope this is the fix I need. Thanks for your input guys!!

Chilys pacman rom problems

Noticing a few problems. With the new pac
Cm10 themes don't stick for the status bar. Switching menus causes colors to default green.
SD card randomly unmounting. I have reverted back to cm7 due to this. SD card never has problems on cm7.
And dpi changing only works in Landscape.
Quick question, any chance we can get a contacts app with facebook fix integrated?
Thanks

I'm in the same boat as you in regards to the dev. forum. I had a small issue as well and I'm not sure if it was just me or what. When I flashed PAC3, I used the goo.im app to find the appropriate gapps for the phone, and it (several times) found the 4.1.2 version from October 2012. This caused the process, com.google.startup (I think) to crash as well as the setup wizard. The only fix was to pull the battery, boot into recovery, and start again with the 4.2.2 gapps in his thread. Maybe a quick note in the OP about not using goo.im or fix for goo.im to find the correct gapps would be helpful. I figured goo was third party so its probably not an issue Chilly can fix.
All that said. I've been DDing your roms for a couple of months now and they work wonderfully. No lag of death, good battery life, and all the features as advertised. As soon as I can post in the dev forum I'll be sending many thanks your way. I very much appreciate your dedication to the dinc2!

In order for a theme to stick it nerds to be aokp as well as cm10.1. Try the cobalt themes. Sticky real good.
The SD card issue is easy. Its the read ahead speed set at boot. Make sure set at boot is checked. Worked for me.
FB doesn't like open source platforms so much. They like to stick with sense. I know sucks to be us. As far as I know no way to get em yet.
Don't trust goo its in the op which gapps to use n even has a link.
Hope this helped.

One ROM @ a time....VIA ELECTRICITY

Thanks to both of you for your work with this device. It's awesome that a 2 year old phone is still getting some love. I just wanted to let people know what was going on because I do some app development and am pretty well versed in the world of android, despite the fact that I've never developed roms or anything like that. I've read everything in the thread and it was just a bit unclear that goo might not do the job, and for others that don't realize to grab the gapps from the op, I just wanted to clarify. Thanks again for both of your great work and dedication to this device! :highfive:

Help with Recent Applications Issue?

With some roms, I have this issue where when I click the recent apps, theres an animation flicker/lag when there shouldn't be one. After a very, very brief moment, it disappears though.
I don't know what could be causing this in one version of the rom, the issue is not there and then in another version, it is present.
I thought this might have been something on my phone that was cleared properly so today I did a clean instal of the rom (after I went back to stock for a few minutes), but it is still there.
Does anyone have insight to how to get rid of this? I *think* that some people have it and others dont

I had this for the longest time, and I'm pretty sure I've tried every fix imaginable. The only thing that works for me is pressing home before pressing recents. If you always press recents from your home screen, and not from within an app, the animation bug never seems to occur.

Before, I was able to do a reboot and it would be fixed for a while but now it doesnt go away. And thank you, I'll try pressing home first!
I thought it was my rom so I did a clean flash 3x. It was so tedious

No, I'm on maguro.
Its weird because I used to be able to reboot and it'd get rid of the problem but now I cant.
I actually rooted my brothers phone yesterday and put on the same rom (but he has the nexus 4-mako) and the issue is there as well! I originally thought it was my phone only.
I was on liquid 2.1 stable (and the issue wasn't there) but on 2.1 official it is, and it is on 2.2 official as well.
When I was on xylon, there were versions where it wasnt there and then versions where it is there
I think it might be a feature that all of these roms added (perhaps from one source) but I'm not a developer so this is probably just gibberish!
The roms that I've tried and seen it on is Xylon, Xenon HD and AOKP. The only rom where I consistently never had this issue is CM (M2) but the CM series don't have enough customizations for my taste, unfortunately.
Which rom(s) do you have this issue with?

Carbon,Xylon and Paranoid are ROMs that I know that doesnt have any lag in recents

What version on Xylon? I switched roms because xylon (for me) was acting up and I had that issue on the last update I tried (which is 2.3).
I might give carbon or Paranoid a try though! Thanks for the recommendations!!
Also! Does paranoid have 4-row toggles? I have quite a bit of toggles so its much more convenient to have 4 per row then 3 per row!

[Q] Complete Action Using?

Some times when I try to open an apk, movie, etc., I get:
COMPLETE ACITON USING
(SELECT APK)
ALWAYS JUST ONCE
When I select the Apk
I select Always
Then I get the display:
CLEAR DEFAULT
OK
I select OK and that apk opens.
My question is even though I selct ALWAYS and CLEAR DEFAULT OK it never stays as the default even when I don't restart/reboot.
Is there some way I can associate an APK with a specific action/ext, etc.?

Apparently there is no solution for this? Thanks for viewing it.

I see where 119 people have viewed this posting.
Has anyone else found this to be the same on their Note 2 as I described?
This is really something that I think is annoying. Why can't the Note 2 OS accept that a specific ext. is always opened by a specific apk?
Would really like some opinions on this.
Thanks!

On my note if I choose always, it gives me information how to clear defaults and next time I open that kind of file it starts choosen app without asking.

You are not alone. I had flashed handful of TW based roms on my Note 2 and this always occurs so I live with it. I am on Tweaked rom now and aside from this irritating flaw, it's perfect. I was a flashoholic and Tweaked rom cured me. I hope there is a fix but if not no big deal.
Edit: I had just cleared defaults for all user apps and tested and it works! OP and Dwitherell, I apologize for posting before testing. I had this issue for so long I always select "once" automatically.

Really...? Interesting. So no matter what the situation is, if you pick an app to act as default for something (like clicking a link have a particular browser used to open it) that default is not saved? If you go into Application Manager and go to the app you believe you set as default that is not behaving as such, is there an option to clear defaults there? Just curious - I have yet to experience such an inability to set defaults. I wonder if there is a common factor that is interfering in some way here. Do either of you have xposed framework installed? I remember there was one out there that let you choose the interface for selecting default apps (the jellybean/stock style or the ICS-based style) - perhaps that is causing an issue...? I'm really just stabbing in the dark here, I have little in the way of clues as to why the default selection is not sticking.

Been working on a solution for days. Thanks to all of you who have posted.
However, even when I rest defaults by going into:
Settings>Application Manager>Reset App preference (which will reset all preferences for: Disabled apps, Disabled app notifications, Default applications for acttions, Background data restrictions for apps.)
>Reset apps.
Then I go into a specific application and check to see if (Launch by Default is set) there are - no defaults set.
Tried this many times and it still has not solved the prolem.
I am running Stock Android version 4.1.2, Baseband version T889UVBMD1, Kernal vdersion 3.0.31-935627, Build number JZO54K T889UVBMD1.
Any other suggestions? Glad to hear I am not the only one who is experiencing this. It is very annoying.

It works on Tweaked rom. I didn't apply any fix cuz like you I couldn't find any fix. For a long period of time I lived with this annoying problem. It didn't occur to me to try clear defaults and test to see if it works until I saw Dwithrell's post. I believed only my phone had this problem. I highly recommend trying Tweaked rom after you back up. If you decide you don't like it, you can always restore back. On my Note 2, I installed Tweaked rom, Alexia's Theme, Perseus Kernel, Viper Audio, and Crossbreeder. If you need links, I post them for you.

My 1st smartphone was Samsung Galaxy S1 Captivate. I was glued to Captivate Android Developement forum and flashed many roms, kernels, modems, and mods and tweaks. There were always risks and anything I had flashed then had problems. Nothing was satisfying. So, I would turn to the xda forums to seek fixes. It was a never ending cycle. Then I got my Note 2. The cycle started again. All the roms, kernels, and mods had issues. TW roms were more stable than AOSP based so I only flashed TW based roms. I wanted to try Tweaked rom when I first saw it but reading the first page was intimidating. I didn't want to come close to bricking my Note 2 like I have with Captivate. It's pain in the butt to fix and very time consuming. Finally after getting courage to flash Tweaked rom, I am glad I did. I still have the itch to flash different roms when update is available, I don't. Except tweaked rom update. It's stable and every feature that I use my Note 2 for works and works great. Tweaks the tweaked rom offers, correct color display by Perseus kernel, beautiful theme by Alexia, awesome sound by Viper when it works( still asking to install driver once in a while but worth it), and network tweaks from CrossBreeder makes an AWESOME and STABLE combinations. Stock is good and stable but once you take a leap and decide to try custom, try my combinations. They are STABLE and BETTER than stock. Lastly, I want to thank all the developers in XDA putting their time and effort into the deveolpement.
