This evening when I unlocked (as in, from the lock screen) my Verizon HTC One M8 it appeared that the Sense home screen was stuck between two panels. Icons and widgets were half way off the left side of the screen. I tried to move them over but it kept putting them back to the left. I swiped through my panels and all of them are like that. I tried to remove widgets/icons/panels but nothing has helped. I've also shutdown and rebooted to no avail. It seems like the panels have gone from being tall rectangles to squares. It's making my home screen impossible to use. Has anyone else ever had this problem?
Version: 1.12.605.11, s-off, rooted, TWRP, stock (only a few frozen bloatware). All of the modifications were made shortly after s-off was released, no changes made since then.
I have some screenshots that I'll post shortly.
Thanks.

You could restore to the backup you made before doing any changes? Sounds like you froze the wrong thing. You could try unfreezing. If you have no backup you can download one or flash a Rom. All the high end roms work on all m8 variants.

Have you tried deleting them and replacing them?
EDIT: nevermind missed that in the OP. Try deleting the homescreen they're supposed to be placed on?
Solution Found
Thanks for the replies.
After trying a bunch of things, changing the font size seems to have reset everything to normal. A very odd bug, almost as if Sense was stuck in landscape mode while the display was portrait.

Hi -
I've got a rooted Incredible running Skyraider 3.1 Sense RC3, Launcher Pro, with the Incredible Revolution theme and my screen has started freaking out. Nothing I press in the bottom row of the screen works. When I go to the app drawer, it just scrolls up and down the drawer any time I touch any part of the screen.
When I long press widgets on the homescreen, I can feel the Inc vibrate just a little but the trash can doesn't pop up and I can't move the widgets.
Can anyone help? I've tried rebooting but that didn't work.
Thanks.
edit: fixed with a battery pull
The obvious question: If you nandroid back to your previous OS, does the problem go away?

I had bad luck with my nandroids causing my phone to get stuck on the splash screen, so I was hoping to do it without that.
Someone suggested a battery pull and that fixed it. I hadn't realized that a battery pull and an on/off accomplish different things.
Alright my friends, this one has me at a loss. Quick sitrep.. I've been using Fresh Evo for a while but I hated the G.B. updated cause there was just too much core functionality that wasn't working right, so I went back to Froyo and really didn't care too much. Last night I went ahead and ran the update to Fresh Evo 4.2.0.0. (GB) and all was well.
Turns out that on G.B. using Launcher Pro, when I open the app drawer and switch from portrait to landscape, effectively forcing the redraw with auto rotate...after it rotates the icons in the app drawer all stack up in the top left corner. One on top of the other...like a deck of cards. If I initiate a swipe they come back, but this is effin' annoying. I've been to Launcher Pro's website, seen a buttload of these reports on his site, but absolutely not one response from the dev, nor a remedy for this situation.
So, anyone here seen this situation and ultimately fixed it or might have a fix for me? I've already tried multiple fixes from wiping cache, trying again...NOT using titanium backup to reinstall app+data and installing manually from market, using the 3D app drawer effect and reinstalling the ROM entirely (even though I'm fairly certain it's not ROM related) Help?!
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
The other day I pulled my phone out of my pocket to check the time and was shocked to find all my icons/shortcuts missing. On all 7 screens. I easily restored the items I had on my main home page like retro clock/date, market, internet etc.
The problem that is driving me effing nuts is the toggle switches I had on the 2nd page to the left of home, wifi, 4g, mobile, gps, etc. I cannot find them to add them back. I have gone to add widget>settings> the only 2 items listed are airplane mode and bluetooth and no others. I am not speaking of the power control option in widgets. I have tried to add from widgets, shortcuts, apps and folders. the toggle switches are non existent. Now I just noticed I cannot find the stock clock that comes preloaded on the phone. I use the retro clock from the market anyways but the stock clock is another item i cant use along with the weather page. I can add a shortcut for weather that i need to click to open the weather screen.
seems like a portion or all of sense is effed up or gone. What are my options besides a complete factory reset, assuming that would even fix this issue.
I am running stock rom with all current versions of SW
download from market?
There's lots of toggle widgets in the market.
Understood however getting different ones from the market does not explain where the stock ones went or how to get them back
A factory reset should fix your problem, unless the issue is within system itself. I'd just flash the stock rom over itself, wipe cache and dalvik only and see if that fixes it.

Ok thnx ill most likely end up doing that, I wanted to avoid having to do a factory reset but looks like I dont have much choice.
Another question, there is normally a spot in system info for htc sense version right?
Ok so after looking at running processes I discovered that htc sense is currently a cached background process and I dont have an option to restart it or anything.
Long press the screen where you want to add the widget. The go to Widgets > Get more HTC widgets at the top and the one you are looking for should be in there. I hope this helps.
Thnx. I know how to add widgets and everything else. The problem is when I attempt to add by going to widgets>setrings> the only 2 items that are listed is airplane mode and bluetooth, not the 7 or 8 items that are normally there. I also cant add the stock clock, weather widget or pretty much any of the items that are supposed to be there.
Today I did a side by side comparison with another stock rom evo, ome that works as it should and could not really find anything useful. Mine is simply just missing almost all stock widgets
I found the Widgets under settings. I'm not running stock so I can't duplicate. When my wife gets home I can use hers.
I find a lot just by going through every possible selection. You can find some interesting stuff that way

Ya you can. I know exactly where they are supposed to be they just are no longer there. I did a factory reset and it fixed it
Glad its fixed. I know how annoying a little thing like that can be. Funny how sometimes the simple things stump us the greatest!!!

Hi,
I flashed mildwild today. (my second rom, I had Insert Coin first)
But for some reason I've the same wallpaper after the flash as before.
Is this just coincidence? Or did I do something wrong. Everything else is changed...
Next thing (see image):
Is the layout of the textfield normal? Or is the blue line supposed to be surrounding the textfield. Looks a bit odd like that.
It's also in the browser and whatsapp input fields.
last thing:
Is there a lock screen delay? So I only need to enter my pin after 15 min of inactivity? In Insert Coint there was...

wallpaper issue is a bit weird, not seen that before. full wipe before flash? if everything else still works though...
i believe the text field is just part of the matching blue ICS theme by mildwild. if you can't live with it, it may take some manual editing in the framework or systemUI files (not sure which one) as i don't think this is covered in something like UOT. or switch rom to something a bit less odd.
i don't know about the lock screen delay, may be some option within settings to adjust it.

Happened to me a lot of times, nothing to worry about
If your phone is set to keep backed up with Google, it will download and install your previous wallpaper, even if it was from a different ROM.
