[Q] Sgs3 crashing when trying to change lock screen settings - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Stock, rooted DLK3 with 23 toggle mod and Mr. Robinsons Ashman Aroma debloater. If I try to set the location for weather or change the lock screen shortcuts the phone locks up requiring a reboot. Ideas?

Did the phone lock up before you put the modifications on the phone?

[Q] modding framework-res.apk

Okay, I have a g2 currently running gingerbread 1.5. I was just wondering if it's safe to totally mod framework-res.apk with apk manager without running into any problems. New phone so I really don't want to go through simultaneous trial and error. The reason for modding the framework is because I really want to change the lockscreen sliders. I tried widgetlocker and it sucks, everytime I open the g2 in landscape, widgetlocker force closes.

Apk manager is safe to use just remember to do a nandroid before applying any changes

when doing the nandroid backup, is that using the rom manager to backup my whole system?

i all ways boot into recovery then preform a nandroid.
And yes it backs up you whole system, so if something goes wrong you can restore to a point where everything worked.

if you use apk manager correctly it will sign and push your modded framework-res automatically for you

I'm not sure how to change the lock screen sliders from within the framework-res. HAve you tried using Widget Locker there is a huge thread about how to customise your lockscreen

yeah, i've tried widgetlocker. everytime i open my g2 in landscape widgetlocker forcecloses. I have to do that everytime widgetlocker is enabled, really started to get annoying, thats why i wanted to just edit the framework.

Camera Shortcuts Don't Save

Exactly what the title says. I'm using the stock camera app and I edited the shortcuts for the timer and such, but once I exit the app they reset. Any ideas?

I have also experienced this a few times. I think its been fixed in the 2.3.6 roms because I havent lost the shortcuts since I updated from 2.3.5.
What version of android is on your T989?
I have 2.3.5 didn't bother updating because it was a lot of work to unroot update and re root so I'm waiting til ics comes out to update.

I've been having the same problem over and over again, no matter what ROM I flash. I'm currently on Darkside Venom 3 and it's still broken. I superwiped and everything.

You are not supposed to install the application, just copy and paste, then change permissions, and reboot and you will be able to use the widget.

Sounds like he isn't installing it but in fact doing it the way you suggest. OP, have you tried changing owner to root (both settings)?
Root explorer: long press app in system/app -> scroll down to change owner-> change both to root -> reboot.

never thought about that just changed them to root,
set permissions, reboot, but still not showing.
Also, fixing permissions in CWM should do this for you ...
The other thing, What is the widget, from what phone/ROM , know you said Stock weather, but if it is stock GB weather,
I am sure it relies on the GB TW-framework for the TWlaucher as the stock widget from samsung phones is a TW widget .....
Some widgets rely on framework or launcher items, and may not work on every phone/launcher ...

I need a shortcut to fix my notifications

Stupid question.. But I've looked around and I could not find a solution to my problem.
When I was using stock ROM I must have accidentally turned off my notifications using the notifications toggle in the pulldown. I since then flashed the wanamlite rom onto my phone, which included quickpanel notification toggles. So the notifications toggle is gone. Is there any way of fixing this without flashing stock rom and rerooting and flashing custom rom again?
If you google "sgs3 no notifications", the first link that pops up is the one explaining the problem.
Thanks, and sorry for the dumb question.

So - opening QuickPanelSettings does nothing?
No there are no toggles for notification and no option to turn off quickpanel.

[Q] delete/reset softkeys?

Hello
I've got this really annoying issue. I have omnimetal 4.4.2 ROM and zipthemer would not work but I got it to work finally. But I've already used the app softkeyZ to change my soft keys and they won't get overwritten. I'm stuck with these annoying keys and can't change em unless its with the apps selection. I flashed nexus soft keys from zipthemer and in the softkeyZ app when I hit the reload button it earases the keys I have and shows the nexus ones I flashed for a sec and goes back to these so it like knows its their. But these keys won't go away. Is there a way I can either delete my soft keys completely and flash the other ones or flash a zip that resets it like a stock 4.4.2 systemUI.apk file? Any advice would be appreciated.

I have once and it just gets messed up. Its hard to explain like the gapps needed to run ART don't install properly and every 10 seconds my phone or dialer force closes
Actually I went ahead and tried a dirty flash and its working fine but same prob. My lock ring and glow dots work when I change em in zipthemer but the soft keys just won't change :/ I've used the stock KitKat Edify and my ROM file and both don't work to change the keys
