[Q] Missing settings/options icon in several apps - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I recently updated my ROM version to the latest version, and suddenly realize that the settings/options icon is missing in several applications. In Google Chrome, for example, the options button (with the three dots) next to the tabs icon is missing. The softkey options button in Gmail and almost every other app is also missing.
I found a thread on Google Product Forums describing this problem I'm having, except it was for a phone with a hardware options button. Therefore, does my phone maybe think that it has hardware buttons, for some reason? And how do I get it back?
Galaxy Nexus
RootBox-JB-maguro-V4.1
Apex Launcher v2.0.3

There should be an option in your settings somewhere saying something like menu-UI overflow, or something along those lines.

Thank you, that solved it! I found it was an AOKP setting, and it was under Settings -> ROM Control -> General UI -> Show Menu UI Overflow.

[Q] Menu Labels are missing

When I hit the menu button, the menus come up but without any labels. If the only thing there is text, then the nothing shows up in the menu.
Labels are visible everywhere else; home screen, app drawer, etc. It is ONLY when I hit the menu button that I lose them. When I tap the actual menu item that I want, the text appears, but that's a little late to help.
Any idea how to get the menu labels back or what might have turned them off in the first place?

Most of that was in my signature:
SkyRaider 3.0.0 RC3 Vanilla
Rooted and Unrevoked Forever
ADWLauncher
Sorry, XDA's tapatalk does not show sigs.
Unfortunately, though, I do not have the answer.
My bad - didn't realize that it didn't show up everywhere...
Solution
In case anyone is interested, the problem turned out to be a theme applied through metamorph. I replaced it with a different one and the labels are back.

ICS Issues....

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 doing this method when you get to the app hold it don't tap it.

[Q] Euroskank CM9 kang (maguro) - Nightly build questions

Hi.
I'm surprised I can't find a thread for this in the Q&A section (and as a n00b I can't yet post in the developer thread), but I have two questions about the Euroskank CM9 kang for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (maguro). Please feel free to point me in the right direction (nicely!) if I have missed the relevant thread.
1. The power widget in the notification drawer has an option for LED flashlight (something I really liked in AOKP), but on my phone it's permanently greyed out. Is this a bug, or is it still under development?
2. Since flashing the 20120511.073344 update, I no longer have any launcher (i.e. trebuchet) preferences in my system options, just Themes and System (screen shot attached). Is there another place where you can get to the launcher options? There's no menu button in the apps drawer to use either.

1. CM hasn't merged the torch app yet (edit: not even available to cherry pick yet),
2. It's because of this cherry pick: * Use preferences from default launcher; they've since fixed it by the looks of it.

Overlap settings... HELP!!!!

I have a "Green Battery" Note 7, and i'm strugeling with a problem, many of my installed apps ask me for various permissions on first use,
but some of them come up with a warnig about some overlapping settings that I must choose, and open up a screen with almoust all my apps
and a slider on/off switch,
I don't know what to do there and I can't put some of my apps working because of this.
I know this is new to Android 6.
Can someone help me with this settings please??
Thanks
Make sure you don't have the chat head thing from Facebook on the screen. Just swipe it down and close it, and it'll be fine.

How do I access System UI?

I'm trying to figure out how to access system ui tuner. If I search the settings for system ui, it finds it, but I can't launch it. I keep reading to hold down the gear icon in the notification area for 10 seconds and it's supposed to add system ui tuner to the settings but that's not working for me.
Where did you read about this? , I somewhat remember something of the sort

I just got into it using activity launcher.
Using that or other equivalent software look for under System UI find the option called "system UI demo mode". Once you launch the system UI demo mode the system ui tuner appears.
It doesn't seem to add a menu option. So you will need to repeat the steps above or create a shortcut to the respective activity.
On, so that did get me into systemui settings. What I'm trying to do with it is I have a sound profiles app. On my last phone I used a different sound profiles app. The sound profiles in the notification area was always the first item listed. That just makes sense. Well, I just got this Note 10+ and for whatever reason the sound profiles app i used to use on my old phones doesn't work on the Note 10+. Its not changing the volumes correctly. I changed to a different sound profile app called audio profiles. This program is working perfect with adjusting the volumes, but it always appears at the bottom of the notifications. Sometimes I have to scroll to see it. I posted to another forum and someone suggested that system ui settings allow you to adjust which notifications appear at the top of the notifications. I'm not finding that in the system ui settings.
Try maybe with Samsung SoundAssistant app (to manage profiles etc.)
