Since the recent update I've noticed that my bitmaps aren't always loading. About 85% of the time I get the working icon which keeps going round and round and doesn't stop. I find this when trying to use pngs, pictures, or icons. I have cleared the cache but that doesn't seem to help. I would rather not uninstall and reinstall if at all possible.

I updated my Desire HD to 2.3 and i have a problem my home screen ui is moving very very slowly with a normal wallpaper when i put a live wallpaper its even worse.
When i had 2.2 i never had this problems anyone have any answers.
UI moves the same way with or without USB debugging.
is it just the home screen?
is the 'All Apps' menu acting the same?
and how about the UI of other apps?
Only the home screen is moving slow the menu and apps are moving perfectly
given that you dont have some 3rd party widget that MAY be slowing down the homescreen
Try going into Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All>
Then go to HTC Sense (the one with the icon of a home screen) and click Clear Data (NOTE: this will remove all the widgets from the home screen)
Personally, im not 100% sure if this will work, but it has helped me in some problems with my home screen.
tell me the result.
nop its still the same slow moving home screen
in that case, you have two options---
1) You could do a factory reset (since you just updated, i dont think it'll be a big problem) but remember to backup your data, apps, etc... (IM not 100% sure that it'll work either, but if it doesnt then i think you have a problem with your ROM)
2) You could wait for someone to come and answer.
i did the factory reset a few days after the update to see if it would help but no such luck
Then i THINK the problem could be with your ROM.
Try installing it again. If you're looking for an official source - CLICK HERE. (thanks go to andy)
Thats an official ROM, if you have CWM recovery, then i would suggest a stock-rooted ROM CLICK HERE
reinstaling the update worked perfectly now my phone home screen is moving perfect it dosent feel like a nokia 3310
Hi folks,
So I recently flashed a newer version of MikG, restored all of my system data and my lock screen quick access icons (you know, camera, mail, phone, messages) disappeared. So then I reflashed the newest version, and only restored a very few system data things, and everything seemed gravy, the lock screen icons stayed and it was all good.
Now today I went to change the lock screen, picked the photo one, and it wouldn't show the photos (but I was wondering if that's just because I have 1000+ photos in the album), and also it wouldn't show the lock screens. So I tried to just go back to the clock one - and the icons were gone there too. And then I tried to just go back to the basic wallpaper one - and no icons there either. What the hell is going on?
I really like having those quick access icons, it's pretty nifty, but I don't know that I feel like reflashing it and restoring all of my apps again. Quite frustrated, any ideas/suggestions anyone has would be much appreciated. Thanks!

i really dont have a good answer for you but being a mikg user as my only rom since ive gotten my evo i can tell u that they recommend not restoring any data at all and to wipe everything using amon ra recovery...might want to go and check out themikmik.com theres lots of people there that might have a good answer for you
running ICS and the size of my media shortcuts widget seems to have increased. It used to comfortably fit under or on top of timescape as well as my weather widget. now it seems to be taking up extra space. I think i tried to share to facebook by dragging it to the top of the screen and now it doesnt want to fit like it used to. I tried rebooting, disabling/force stopping Media Shortcuts from the app menu and nothing works.
Any advice? its bothering me
I flashed the phone and its back to normal size. curious if this happened to anyone else tho
Hi Avantiel,
It happend to me. Additionnaly to the size, I remarks that the shorcut to the gallery and to the video-gallery don't work.
What do you mean by flashed the phone ?
Edit:
I flashed the official ICS again, and here is the result:
- on the home, the widget already present is ok (it takes only one line)
- if I add again this widget, it takes 2 lines (?)
Yes adding another Media Shortcuts widget again takes up and extra row...pretty messed up
Me too
I also encouraged this problem but I think flashing the firmware again won't solve it. I wonder what will happen if we uninstall it then install again, but I haven't got root permission so I can't extract the apk file. Can anyone try it?
I am running the latest version of the Wicked Sensations ROM on my Sprint Galaxy S3 with the default firmware/radio/kernel and I went through the Kuban Updater to see which updates and mods I wanted and I came up with 12 of them as follows:
Add_Back_IME_Switcher
SecMMSFixed
Weather_Wall_Live_Fix
Wicked_Apex_Update
Wicked_Playstore_Update
Google_Maps_Update
Gmail_4.2.1_Update
4.2 Camera and Gallery
Black2_Close_Bar
Black_And_Blue_Pulldown
Center_Clock_Morph_Blue
Wicked_Stock_Battery_With_Percentage
The names may not be exactly correct since I do not have my phone with me (or available right now), but that should get close enough for my purposes.
I made a backup before flashing any of them, then since I had to do two sets of flashes anyway (since TWRP can only flash 10 zips at a time), I figured I would split the list in half and install the first 6, wipe cache and davlik, reboot and check it out, then repeat the process for the 2nd six.
The first six seemed to go fine. The versions were updated where I could check, and the fixes seemed to be made (again where I could easily test). After I flashed the second set, I have two issues that are either bugs with my flash or the fixes themselves. I am not sure which, but I would appreciate anyone helping me to figure out what if anything went wrong and how to recover. I can just flash my original backup and start over, but I wanted to get some suggestions first. The two issues are as follows:
I think the 4.2 Camera and Gallery mod was supposed to install the new android 4.2 camera and gallery and leave the original ones. It worked correctly for the camera, but I can't seem to find the new gallery. Is there something special I am supposed to do to get to it?
One of the other mods (I'm guessing one of the last 4) caused my status bar to go completely black. There is no clock, no battery, no signal icons, and no notifications. I can still pull it down and see the notifications themselves, but can't tell if there are any unless I pull it down. Any ideas?

I characterized the problem in number 2 a little better. It seems that the status bar is gone after a reboot until the first real notification (permanent ones like juice defender and avast do not seem to count) is received. After that the new status bar shows up and remains until the next reboot. I have been able to work around the problem by toggling an alarm in Alarm Clock Extreme Free on then back off after each reboot.

Hey guys. For some strange reason i can no longer change my lockscreen wallpaper or the clock? I can make changes to the homescreen without any issues but it seems as if the lockscreen is defaulting to whatever i have on the homescreen!! If i go into themes and edit my current theme, the options are there and it appears to work fine in the sense that i can choose a lockscreen wallpaper and it says "wallpaper applied" and even shows as changed within the theme but it changes nothing! The only thing i can change on the lockscreen is the icons! This seems a bit odd given that i have gone through all the htc related apps and none have been updated nor have any changes been made! A reboot also was of no help nor was clearing the cache!
My flashlight no longer works either (although i never really used it so its possible it was like this since new) In order for it to work i have to open the camera app and close it each time i want to use the flashlight!!
Anyone any ideas?? More annoyed about the lockscreen issue then the flashlight
Anyone ??
anybody any idea?
Hello,

Honestly I've never had those issues and also don't remember reading about them. Something is borked on your phone. Done any mods? Might be time for a wipe.

Hello
Try wiping data and cache of HTC sense from setting, that might help you,
If that does not help try doing the factory reset, if the phone is completely stock
Backup before you do it, as factory reset will erase everything from the Phone including internal SD card
