I'm on Aerovan's most recent (8/22, I think?) build of CM9. It's been much more stable than previous builds from him, but I have a problem. It's happened on his builds, as well as the leak RUU and Black Ice AOKP.
My soft keys just stop working. Not the back light, as some people have complained about. I mean all four of them. No home, no menu, no back, and no search. I've worked around the no home by adding my launcher as a shortcut on the lock screen, but I'm sure you can imagine how frustrating that is. I know on some AOKP/AOSP builds you can add a navigation bar.
So my questions are:
1. Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried rebooting, rebooting wit a battery pull... Nothing brings it back anymore.
2. If I flash from Aerovan to, say Black Ice, should I do a clean wipe? I'm never sure when I should do a full wipe and when I should do just a cache wipe.
Thanks!

It's a "feature" that I don't care for either. To restore the original functionality see this thread.
Edit...for your second question, I almost always do a full wipe, and especially if switching to a different rom. It does take a little longer, but usually pays for itself in the long run by having less problems.
Thanks, but the is a post about fixing a back light issue... My issue isn't about the back light, it's the soft keys themselves not working. I'm wondering if it's my phone, because it's done it across several ROMs...

Nvm... Yes sounds like it may be hardware if it persists in multiple roms.
I un-rooted back to stock (bootloader and ROM) and am still having the issue. Will be taking the phone back to Best Buy tomorrow for a replacement. Thanks for the help, though!

Ok so I am having problems with my screen calibration. Whether I flash clean with cw or RA my calibration is off.
If I lay my phone flat it goes 270. And I can barely get it to go 90. I really do not want to go back to sense ever.
I will pay for a fix or calibration app.
Have tried going back to fresh and using g calibration under settings/display. After that orientation is great. But as soon as I flash any cm6 rc2 or latest nightly then calibration is so bad that it is almost unuseable.
About to try new nightly and hope for the best. I hate sense more than I ever knew.
tried new nightly and no luck. about to flash ruu and start over i guess.
Are you talking about calibrating the touch screen or the orientation(accelerometer)?
sorry i am referring to the orientation.
Flashing the RUU won't help. I had the same problem and it bothered me so much I just turned rotation off. I think it's just a bug (or an oversight) in CM6. Hopefully, Cyanogen will take care of it before an ofish release.

glad to know someone else is having this issue.
really makes me mad because cm6 was flawless on my last evo.
so i am thinking there is a way to workaround it. I am looking into maybe an adb command or something to calibrate it or find a way to pull the calibration from stock rom.
Settings > Display > G-sensor settings
Enjoy.

If you didn't read the post they have tried that already.
Personally I think you should maybe try a wipe and a different rom/kernel setup. I don't know what is available for the evo atm but surely there is a fix without needing to write a completely new calibration app. Good luck.
Edit: watch for a sky raider port if one isn't out already its about a million times better than cm 6 at least on the incredible.

problem is there is no calibration setting inside of cm6. and like op i tried using it on a sense rom then going back to cm6 with no luck.
I have a question regarding the new Jelly Bean leak ROM. I went through the official thread before posting, however if I missed something, I am sorry for the redundancy. Since I am under the 10 post minimum I cannot post in the official thread.
My question is when my phone is locked I usually press the lock button to turn the screen on to put in my pattern, however when the screen lights up, the edges flash blue and red for a quick second. If I remember correctly there's a LCD screen test that produces these affects. I was wondering if this was normal or just a glitch found in the ROM. Or do I have a setting that needs unchecked/checked?
Thanks in advance for any and all responses.
i seems to be happening to a lot of people. Some think its at fault due to Touchwiz Launcher. I use Apex Launcher and haven't had that problem with the phone since I flashed it.
I am still on LIG and I have never noticed this on my phone. I think this may be somewhat unique to LIH. Which version are you on?

Whew, good deal! I was a little worried I went about flashing the kernel, modem, and rom wrong. I'm new to all this as this is my first smartphone lol. Thanks for the input, I'll try playing around with different launchers and see if that helps. Appreciate it once again!
Edit: Currently I'm on everything linked in the OP of this thread Neil Fruit

I'm on LIH. Haven't seen the flash yet. So hopefully that helps you, if not, change modems.
EDIT: wiping data & cache and clean flashing the ROM solved the problem. Leaving this here for reference, in case anyone has a similar problem.
I can't post on the dev board yet, so posting here instead of the appropriate thread over there....
Anyone else having the following issues with tiny's 12/23 10.1 build?
1. the home button doesn't work from within various menus
2. the lockscreen doesn't work -- the phone just wakes up when you hit power
I thought it might be related to the launcher, but I switched back and forth from nova to trebuchet and the behavior was still the same.
I dirty flashed up from the 12/20 build, which didn't have these issues. Going back to it now
(obviously this isn't important on christmas; it's just that I'm up and no one else is, so i'm playing around with my phone)
This is not a build specific issue so what you're seeing is unrelated. This possibly can happen if you use the no data limit mod and don't flag it after and don't flash it after an update. Definitely not a problem with my build.

Oh my god you're totally right, I forgot to flash the no data limit mod again. Thanks for the reply, and also for this ROM. It's really great stuff.
Hi Devs
I'm from Mumbai India and i'm using galaxy nexus gsm.
It is an awesome phone but lately i'm having problem
My phone screen flashs and blackouts out of nowhere While operating my nexus and than i have to reboot it.
This has been happening from the time when i tried few custom roms (xylon, miui, overdrive, pa, minco v6 and madoco) back to back couple of weeks back. I don't know what is the cause of it and why is it happening.
So guys i need little help here.. Plzz help me fix it.
Right now I'm using baked 7 rom and gapp 4.2.1 12/12/2012.
Thank you in advance
I believe this is referred to as a Screen of death, or sod. Search the forum, and you may find some answers. Ive heard this is common on 4.2.1, but have yet to deal with it myself. Actually, though, ive had some close calls where the power button will not wake the phone, and i believe ive also seen where the actual issue is waking the phone from sleep..
Actually, I've just noticed that you're using the old gapps as well. The baked downloads page has the new gapps, and perhaps that may help you.
THANK YOU

Have you tweaked the kernel options, messed with thecpu clock? Maybe try bringing all of that back to stock.

i had tweaked the kernal options once long back,.. it twisted kernel i guess
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!
