So I'm on my n5 with the current beta..stock PA GApps package..
When the phone boots I notice the .. main screen..home screen.. desktop whatever you want to call it reloads once like it knows it isn't committed to one launcher..
The aosp launcher isn't there..Google launcher with the stock package is all I have..
Any suggestions on what I could try ?
Yes...exactly same here..just after booting..screen flash (black screen for second)it like some thing load in there..

looooooooooooooooool
For my ROM I had to do a workaround. The phone first boots with standard HTC Sense launcher. After going through HTC Setup Wizard (it FC's if ExpressoBVar is applied on first boot) we go back into recovery and flash ExpressoBar add-on. On next boot everything is normal but with ExpressoBar.
Yes, I know that if i reflash expresso mod it works, but i like it in first boot like other versions
The problem is in the modified files. I tried using HTC Setup Wizard from FRF85B but the same thing happens. Could be me that messed something up while editing the apks on FRF91.
I Think the problem is in .xml files from .com.resources and framework-res, because before try 2.06 version, i was tried an older, and the Sense UI load in first boot (but with many errors).
I think that .xml says run default froyo launcher, and not senseui
Ok, that could explain something, but then again. Why if we're modifying images (not .xmls) Sense doesn't boot and on stock Rosie.apk it does?
With the older expresso, i modded images on rosie, and resources, and it runs by default, i don't understand that happens in 2.06 with non stock rosie. I think not is Rosie.apk, if not resources.
I also has a good side. ROM users can choose if they want to use stock launcher or ExpressoBar. In my ROM I included a set of instructions which explain on how to install ROM + ExpressoBar.
The problem is just in any .xml of com.htc.resources.apk, but i don't know witch and where is the parameter who tells use sense by default (or don't work if not original rosie.apk)

Any help?
Anybody? .
I updated my ADW Launcher to the newest version and now it keeps crashing. I also selected to always launch with it so i cant clear the data to use Sense and uninstal ADW.
What do i do??????
What rom are you running? Stock? Rooted? How long in between crashes?

You might check out the ADW thread in the Android section (not individual phone sections). The issue is known but they haven't got around to fixing it yet. Give them a day or two and I'm sure it will be dealt with.
Of course that's assuming you're running 6.1 (not sure if it happens with 6.0).
the easiest way to do it would be to find a flashable .zip of adw to apply in recovery to replace the one crashing or just take the apk from cyanogenmod rom (any rom) and push it to system/app in recovery... so when you reboot you will get to pick wich launcher to start by default again... that has happened to me several time but with rosie launcher (sense) when trying to change the looks of it and thats how i fix it every time xD
Hello everyone, I am having a mild problem. When I open a skin I downloaded with a theme from my file manager, and click install, it says it installed. So I go to personalize, click skin, but they are never there. Just the 3 stock skins(burgundy etc.) with htc. Can anyone help me to get the skins to show?
Also on ARHD 6.3 and previous versions I get noticeable lag and slowness. I use quadrant as a comparative to what my phone will normally run. For instance on a fresh restart my phone hits about 2600 o/c at 1.69. After a couple hours of the restart I notice it gets slow and when loading webpages its very slow and when running intense games it gets slow, so I benchmark it and every time it gets slow I get around 1600. If I do another restart I'm back up to 2600 with extremely noticeable improvement. Any ideas why? Do I need to flash a different kernel or something? Please help and thanks!
what skin files r u trying to use? the HTC official skins shouldnt need to be installed via a file manager u just need login to the HTC Sense account and download it normally like in a stock DHD. any other skins that i know of you have to flash via CWM or EXT4 Recovery, unless u are using the no-sense ARHD of which u use ADW or LauncherPro or any other launcher.
I havent had a problem with the HTC official ones tho the flashed ones (themes by kalagas, he_stheone64, etc) have small bugs in it that causes it to be sluggish, for me it was the facebook that came with the flashed skin, updating facebook to the latest one fixed it.
apart from that, did u do a full wipe before hand with the Super Wipe script? u have to do a superwipe if you came from any other rom or ARHD6.2.0, also do not restore data or apps using titanium or mybackup, doing this creates slowdown bugs.
if u want to backup contacts or calendar just use the built in google account sync.
Another thing i can think of is make sure you untick "backup my data" or something like that under "privacy" in settings so the phone doesnt try to download sync data and apps from your previous rom. *Doing this wont affect the contacts or calendar sync. So when you boot the rom it will be clean and stock arhd.
hope it helps

I understand that for the HTC stock skins, I don't have a problem with those. I mean like the IceHD theme, and skin. When I go to install his skin after I get theme flashed it says it installed but I never see it as an option to change under personalize>skins like he had stated, as well as others.
As for ARHD, I had backup my settings enabled so I will see if this is the problem. But if I want to ever back up app data what should I use so I won't just get lag when I do?
You do realise the IceHD theme is for sense 3.5 he_stheone64 has not released one for Sense 3.0.
ARHD uses sense 3.0,
for ARHD you can use HoneyHD, BlueHD, etc; just make sure they're Sense 3.0 and as for them appearing in the menu they overwrite the basic HTC sense skin (the original skin on first boot).
If you want to use IceHD u need the Runnymede based roms with Sense3.5

why just use the ICS theme, why not flash ICS, its alright so far, im using the virtuous quattro RC1 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428047
Also ignore quadrant scores, since you might have installed different apps or some apps maybe updating in the background after a reboot, it will consume different CPU power at that time, so as long as it feels smooth its working fine. for ARHD install the 90% super smooth rosie under custom modifications, it will limit the 3d effect of the homescreen to reduce lag.
The sluggishness in the middle of the day is also caused by the android memory management, gingerbread will automatically suspend "closed" apps so it can be recalled quickly if u decide to open them later. but after opening a few apps earlier, then later u decide to open a high memory app, the system will kill those apps down (including the rosie homescreen app) while launching the new app to make room - this is also the cause for lag. U can use the built in task manager to kill off an app, but this may cause instabilities in some cases.
Ahhhh, well Restorer ported it to sense 3.0, and preacher added hamdirs mods to it, its real nice, so i use that one. Im not going full ICS until its fully stable, like camera lol. As for the lag stuff your probably right its just real annoying sometimes when I am trying to do something like intense gaming. thanks for your help!
I installed the most recent MIUI ICS image, and installed Go Launcher EX after because I need an app drawer.
However I noticed that both in the stock launcher and Go Launcher, tons of my apps had this gross square background on them. Even already square icons like facebook have a second background behind them. I've fiddled around in all the settings I can think of and none of them turn this off.
Ideas?
I'd post an image but I have yet to obtain such permissions.
EDIT: I guess this is more of a general ICS question, since installing Launcher Pro didnt fix it either.
Trying to understand what you mean. Are you saying you want the ics icons instead of the miui icons?

Edit: I'm on miui ics by the way in case u didn't notice lol

MIUI ICS
I'm pretty experienced with flashing roms and bumped into this MiUI ICS for the EVO. I couldn't find the 4G, they haven't enabled WiMax yet for this rom?

Did you read anything about MIUI before flashing it?
The answer is no. There's never been 4G on MIUI. Probably never will be. It's Chinese, where they don't have wimax, and it's closed source, so devs can't add it in.
And to the OP, that's normal. Some themes will remove the icon background. If you want me to modify your theme or make one without icon backgrounds, just send me a pm. It'll just take a second.
MIUI ics v4 2.5.7
I've been trying to flash MIUI 2.5.7 v4, I do everything on the instructions, but still won't reboot, does anyone have any idea if there is anything else to do::
1. Downloaded the zip to root in sd
2. reboot into cm recovery
3. whipped apps data and dalvik cache
4. flashed zip file
5. try to reboot system, but these is the step where my phone stops doing anything.
I've tried to install without deleting apps an data, I've tried flashing with RA but still doesn't work....
Thanks...

Continue to use AmonRA to flash this or any other ROM [CM has been proven not to fully wipe when trying custom ROM]... You may want to wipe everything EXCEPT for your SDcard then try reflashing the ROM again... If for some reason that doesn't work then you may want to redownload the ROM again to eliminate the possibility of you trying to flash a bad download.

I'm quite certain it's not _exactly_ what he's been speaking of.
I've installed a GB MIUI on my HTC Desire and have similar problems.
It's not the MIUI theme icons vs. stock GB\ICS icons question.
It's that MIUI apparently ADDS a padding background under ALL app icons, regardless of the launcher you're using.
So even in GoLauncher I'm seeing these terrible "glass" green-tinted squares under ALL the friggin icons, even the ones which could absolutely do without it. If I knew whose idea it was not to make this optional - I'd buy an airline ticket to see him and do unspeakable things unto him.
Once MIUI ICS has it's theme ap all sorted out, you can change your icons to those of any theme that's out there. Heck, there are ICS themes now you can try and change them with.
That's one of the great things about MIUI. The fact that you can theme each individual aspect of the phone with just a few clicks.

Also, Swiper's MIUI is on the verge of having 4G

No good. I downloaded a theme and applied its icons, but still get this icon background thing. Maybe it's because it's not vanilla MIUI but a variant (FCR MIUI).
See attached screenshot for example:
1. Icon "reader" is a custom icon set by me, it displays normally.
2. Icon "Cool Reader" is default app icon, shows with a background, same for "Calc".
UPD
Too bad, I was getting to like MIUI, but
- absence of trackpad2unlock
- no patch for 2-way recording in their kernels
- godawful iphonesque icon padding which won't go away
- no consistently working hardkey backlight disabling
are reasons enough to switch back to my original rom, which was not so snappy and cool, but offers all these benefits which are substantial.
I am using rooted stock rom in my N7100. I receive a SMS or a Whatsapp message, and a bubble shows how many messages i got. Everthing is okay till now, but thats where the problem starts. I read message, exit app but that little bubble doesnt disappear.

Cant use Samsungs own photo editor. I draw and put stuff on a photo but it just doesnt save them. Reverts to normal as nothing happened.
----
When I leave any app, the bar at the bottom of screen only shows that 'apps' shortcut for a sec, then reloads every other thing in home screen. It happens all the time and no, rebooting didnt solve neither this nor the problems above.
----
And my final question. I think i'll go with DN4. I dont want to lose any data especially IM's and Gallery. So I backup with Kies3. Will I be able to restore those stuff when i flash DN4 and continue to use as nothing happened ? Same goes for reverting to stock ROM. ( Or I should only flash stock rooted ROM to avoid problems with new ROM ?)
up ?
