[Q] How do you fix Force Close when removing a home screen?

Hi All,
I am in the UK and have a new 16GB White unbranded unlocked Note 2 running stock JB 4.1.1, the device has never been modified or rooted. When I go into aerial view and attempt to drag a home screen into the trash I get a Force Close in Touchwiz which restarts and the home screen remains in place. I have tried format of cache in recovery but it made no difference. I don't want to do a factory reset and lose my stuff, but will do if thats the only fix. Do I have any other options? Has anybody got this problem and did you resolve it?
Thanks for any replies
Phil

Surely someone has at least experienced the dame problem ?

That happened to me when i diasbled animations in settings, development options, always enable them from 0,5 or higher.

Anyone found a solution to this problem. I had disabled animations from the "Developer Options" previously. I have enabled them now but I am still getting the crash.

Try reboot in recovery and wipe cache and reboot.

THANKS!!!
I tried it, and even pluged it in before a reboot but nothing shows up on screen. I see a little flickering, but nothing else.
Also, are you placing "com.qc.hdmi_out" under "Property Name" or "property Key"?
you may want to add "true" o your directions, they are not specific.
Thank you for your efforts none the less! This is a great step in the right direction. :good:

Works well thanks

tried this and it worked. only issue that remains for me is when the MHL cable loses power or is unplugged, the only way to re-initiate the hdmi-out sync is with a reboot of the device. anyone know of a way to manually trigger a resync?

Can anyone post a flashable fix for this, I am at my uncles house and was planning on watching a movie with my cousins and then I realized my jb ROM doesn't have mhl support :/

For me, setting "ro.hdmi.enable=true" does the job. I tried your com.qc.hdmi_out line also, but found that I had difficulty getting consistent results, but devices may differ. ROMs earlier than 10.0.0 Stable often crashed after using HDMI, after pulling out the cable, even though the video worked well up till that point. But recent ROMs seems to be stable for me.
It is a frustration for me that those who (probably) know about the deeper aspects of this issue (why it was never turned on in the default configuration) never comment on it, so those who want it to work spend lots of time fiddling with it. On the teamhacksung site, a statement was made that it will never work because it involves proprietary code, but that was some time ago, so who knows? The fact that it works well seems to suggest that all the needed code is present and functional, so the mystery is why it is never addressed by the developers explicitly, or turned on by default, or have a setting to turn it on as Galaxy S had.

can you explain what you mean by the not getting consistent results? i'm going to try this approach and see what i get today.

[Q] Bottom navigation buttons suddenly missing from KF on CM10?

Hey there! I have rooted my Kindle Fire and am using CM10 ROM (if I remember correct) and I love it. My only issue is that I haven't used it for a few days, then today I rebooted it because it was running kinda slow, and when it came back online, my bottom navigation buttons (home, menu, and back) were missing. Any idea what settings could have accidentally gotten changed to make that happen? I went through all the settings and I couldn't find anything that would fix it. I'm running Holo Launcher HD, but I have been running that all along and never had this problem before.
I REALLY don't want to have to wipe and reload the ROM and reset everything if I don't have to, so I'm wondering if anyone here has any ideas what could cause that. Thanks in advance for any help!

Which rom are you using? Cm10 is not enough description.

Where can I find that info? I'm on Android version 4.1.2, Kernel version 3.0.31+, AOKP version aokp_otter_unofficial_Oct-17-12. If any of that helps.
If I go into ROM Control, I can't find anything in there to give me ROM info though. I can tell you the stock boot animation is pink and purple gears turning with a pink unicorn in the middle and it says "Initiating Swagger" at the bottom LOL! Let me know where to find whatever other info you may need to help, thanks.
Also, I can boot into TWRP (v2.2.2.1) and go into the INSTALL tab and see the 3 things that I've loaded (jb-aokp_otter_unofficial_Oct-17-12.zip, market-framework.zip, and gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip).

I run cm10 twa_priv sgt7 linaro. I have an ability to hide the status bar. I am not sure that aokp has this. When you press the power button to bring up the menu, see if "unhide status bar" is an option.

I know you don't want to but if you just go into recovery and ONLY wipe cache and dalvik, reflash the ROM it probably would clear up the issue w/o losing all your data/apps.

I kinda figured it would come to that, but thought I'd ask if anyone had any other ideas. So I'll try that tonight. Thanks for the reply.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2

In your system apps is there one for the status bar? (An app called status bar or something similar) I thought I remembered seeing that in some JB ROMs and maybe you could force close? Maybe clear data or cache of the app if it exists.....its worth a look if it can save you some headache but I wish I could tell you for sure

Lag after a day

So why does my phone start to lag after a day. No matter what ROM or kernel I am on, after about 20 hours my phone starts to lag. If I restart my phone all is good. Does anyone have an explanation? Is this a great 4.2.2 feature? This wasn't happening before that.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Is that even pure stock? There are several posts on this already. There isn't a genuine solution but some have suggested some ways to minimize lag on 4.2.2.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I have tried all sorts of ROMs.I will look for some of the other posts. Its just frustrating because I can get it to fly, but have to reboot 1-2 times a day.

Check your memory usage. I have this problem too - and it seems like my memory if full. Try to see what services run in the background and maybe you can stop some of them. Also look at 'Greenify' - it is an app that stops background processing for apps you don't want hanging in the background. It requires root, though.

do you use twrp? i had that problem until someone mentioned that twrp doesnt wipe completely and used cmw.

would it be too much of apps running at the background and causing it lag?

I'm reading about this issue more and more everyday ... one solution i saw was that to install "Clean master" from Play store and clear cache with that to minimize lag i believe it only affects custom roms and not stock based roms :/

Lag on Vzw HTC OnE??

Hey guys I just got my HTC One and I have read forums and articles where they say that the HTC One doesnt have any lag. Well idk if I got a defective phone or something but my One has definite lag sometimes especially on the launcher. Does anyone else experience this or is my phone F'd up?
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk 2

Now and even when I was on the stock rom, the day it launched, I never got any lag. It might be caused by an app you have running in the background. I wouldnt be surprised if some of the verizon/htc bloatware is causing the lag.

Lag is perception with recent phones. If you think you see something you'd brain believes it... Or you have a defective unit.

Go to Settings > Apps and slide the screen over to "Running" in there you can see what is currently being used by your phone. It will also show you how much RAM is currently being used.
It might also help uninstalling some of the apps you do not use, like facebook, g+ or whatever else is something not in use. Once we get the write privileges fixed you will be able to remove things like HTC Car and other apps that are installed to the system partition but not actually required for the phone to function.

I'd definitely exchange it. Are you using the car app? If not, it shouldn't be doing anything. And every review says this phone has no lag. The only time i see lag on my note 2 is when play store is updating crap in the background. Always slows things down.

Well actually I tried something and I went back to using a task killer and it seems to be doing the trick. Got rid of the lag and the car app no longer shows up on the running apps. Idk works for now, hopefully we can get this phone unlocked so I can start getting this thing to it's full potential
