Just flashed to the Ricky's latest Opera ROM, and starting to explore the new system, but I am having an odd problem. The home screen keeps popping up while I am in the middle browsing through menus. For example, I was trying to change my connection settings, and in the middle it just put me back at the home screen. This has happened at all menus, so I can't pinpoint the issue. I browse back with no issue, but it is annoying to be half way through something, and get booted back to the home screen, and have to start all over. Anyone have any insight into what my issue would be? Could it be a process, or program?
Edit:
Ok, my issue was a user error. I didn't know what the Time Out setting did under the Home Screen settings, and had set it to 10s. Should have played around more before post.

Oh ok glad you found the error lol. So is everything okay no with your phone? if you have any other problems or concerns please feel free to ask. We are all willing to help out
The best I can describe it is when opening a text from the notification bar it brings me to the top of the SMS thread, which can be quite long sometimes and the only way around it is to back out and re-enter the thread to get to the most recent message.
I love how smooth this phone runs, I can deal when resource heavy applications freeze for a bit or have bugs. However when simple phone based applications do things like this I kind of twinge.
Any help on either what does this or how to fix it?
Is this stock? Never had that issue? Maybe try deleting some or all your txts? I know the stock app gets flaky when you have a ton of messages on your phone
sent from a phone
i get that same thing when i have 200+ messages in a thread. its somewhat annoying.
It's happened with stock and in skyraider now
Easy trick that works for new when that happens: hold menu so the keyboard pops up, bringing you to the text field at the bottom.

I have not run into this problem since I have been using Handcent for SMS.
have this same issue, and this is with stock 2.2 from big V.
one thing i've found to get around it though is backing out of the thread and then re-entering will put you at the end normally and also if your typing and bounce between the 159 and 161 character count, not tapping back and just changing orientation a few times will set it straight again and you can continue editing the message.
Will say, i've got threads that are 2k messages long and even then its a hit or miss thing to the point where i cant get it to happen right when i'm in front of a big V tech. :/
i get that occasionaly and i get a glitch where even if i click on the sms notification it still shows it in the bar.
This problem only really happens after my phone has been on for days at a time. I have had this problem on the latest stable and latest nightly for CM7 (each one cleanly installed after a total wipe).
What happens is that most screens are replaced with entirely black ones. The most consistent example of this is the settings screen. The first Settings screen (which shows Display, Sound, etc) loads correctly. If I click on any of those, I just get a black screen. This will happen in other applications too, like Baconreader or Browser. Also, another connected issue is that the lockscreen won't animate once this problem starts. I can drag it down to unlock, but the rotary wheel won't move at all. If I drag to the right to load my custom app, the lockscreen won't go away and it will force my to pull the battery.
Has anyone else run into this problem? I'd just like to know I'm not alone. I'm not really expecting a bugfix, especially when I'm not even posting a Logcat.
Did you fix permissions?

I suffered this same thing today. Thankfully a full restart fixed out, but I would love to learn a real solution.

Next time it happens I will, I'm just afraid it will break Facebook/SMS integration like I've had happen before.
It's just so weird since it breaks everything. The lockscreen, the options, Pandora's station list, the browser, and it goes on and on. It's like there's some sort of display mode that gets screwed up.

What version are you using. I'm going to try to install nightly 77 today after a fresh wipe.
I was seeing the same thing. Now I'm trying to figure out why my data speeds are so painfully slow on CM7 so I can't offer a fix. Flashing back to Warm to troubleshoot 3G.
I get these issues all the time no matter what kernel or nightly I'm running. It has forced me back to sense roms lol
Same problem here. I updated stable mod from stable mod. Reinstalled. Going on 4 days, no issues so far.

I have the same exact issue. This never happens on a sense rom. I did some tweaks to my system over the past week and I haven't had to reboot since this past Saturday or Sunday. I thought I had fixed it!
Then...
My phone started doing it this morning after I turned on 4G at work, literally as I was writing this post it started doing it. I then turned off 4G.. and it instantly went away. Turning back on 4G and it isnt doing it right now. Now my phone is doing something weird with go sms pro... when I get a text and I respond via the pop up message.. once my text moves to a second line I dont see what I am typing anymore... and now it has progressed to where the pop up box isnt refreshing after I send a message (this is all happening while I am typing this post). Now the phone has become laggy and somewhat unstable... rebooted! All is well. So I went roughly 4-5 days without a reboot... where as before I had to reboot at least once a day.
Thats about the best I can get with these settings:
CM7 7.0.3.1
Savaged Zen 2.6.38.5 CFS > Using SavagedZen Governor, min 384 max 998
Displaying some animations (read somewhere that is a "fix".. or helping extend the time it takes for the Black screen of death to appear).
This is after several full wipes, several when I was running Amon RA recovery 1.8 then updated to the latest and did it two more times. After upgrading Amon and wiping I did not use any backups and started completely from scratch.
So I am not sure what else to do. Some people are getting this, some are not.
I'm not a frequent poster, so excuse me if this isn't he right place to ask.
I have a TP2, RHOD500, Sprint flashed to Boost
My ROM is Standard Energy 21xxx (with the old start button). Hopefully, other can refer here for these issues, if they haven't already been fixed:
1) Activesync icon on taskbar, overlapping signal bars
I've seen a reg edit to make it invisible, but on other energy roms, (like GTX), the symbol does not overlap the signal. Is there a non-invisible option?
2) Random Start Button Freezes/Temp Phone Freezes
When I go to the home screen, MANY times the start button locks up and doesn't come up. But I can still use the home screen and press buttons and launch apps. It would take about 2 minutes before the start button works, or a soft reset.
Also, the entire phone freezes on the home screen. I would sometimes tap around to see if it works, and nothing happens. 2 minutes later, whatever program I tapped comes up, but when I return to the home screen, it's still frozen. Perhaps sense freezes? If so, how can I still launch apps from it, though it does delay?
3) All Settings option doesn't work
I go to the settings on Sense and then click "Menu" and "All Settings". The screen dims, as if the settings was to come up, but nothing happens. I click the screen, and it takes me back to Sense settings, as if I was clicking out of a window.
That's really it. I though Energy would be awesome, but it just made the phone all buggy in these respects. "Why don't you go back to stock?" Well, might as well try to solve the problem than quitting right? Well, any help would be appreciated, and if I have to move this topic, let me know. If you need any more info, just let me know.
try reflashing the rom onto your device, Ive found that doing that sometimes fixes some issues...maybe you got a problematic download too...I'm running the April 29th sense 2,5 sencity rom, build 21916, and it's flawless...I would also suggest posting in the thread for that rom/device, you're likely to get support there
Alright, Ill try that. I did flash at a comp that wasn't my own, so that opens the door to outside variables. I didn't think of that.
And yes, I will move this thread and questions after I reflash if any problems persist.
Thank you.
I've been a longtime iPhone user, and got my feet wet a few months back with my first Android device, a Samsung Galaxy S3. I immediately rooted it, and tried CM 10.1, but I was in over my head, and I hadn't even used my phone enough to know what I wanted to do with it, so I went back to stock.
However, I've run into a few issues with Samsung's stock 4.1.1 ROM, and there doesn't appear to be any definitive answer to if and when they'll update to 4.1.2 or 4.2.x. So I decided to revisit Cyanogenmod.
I installed CM 10.1 (cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-d2att-M2) last night, and I'm making my way around the system, learning a few things here and there, but I've run across two possible issues. I don't know if it's a bug, or if I'm just doing something wrong:
1. I can't seem to add the camera to the lockscreen as a slider shortcut. In the settings, it gets added just fine, I can see it there, and it saves. But when I go to actually use the slider shortcuts on the lockscreen, the camera isn't there. It doesn't matter which position it's in, either. There's just a blank spot where the camera shortcut should be.
2. The battery light -- I can change the color easily enough, but the option for pulse length is greyed out, and the option for pulse speed doesn't seem to save. When I tap "Test", it works, but once I tap "ok", it goes back to "custom", which seems to be a steady color, no blinking. Again, is this a bug, or just something that I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
The lock screen shortcuts I think you have to save before you exit that screen. There will be a floppy disk looking thing you need to press before backing out. I dunno about the notification pulse, it should be set once you've put in the value you want. Unless the ROM just doesn't actually have that functionality.

Ok, I just double-checked to make sure that I did, in fact, tap that save button. I did, but it's still not showing up. I tried blanking it out, saving it, and re-adding the camera and saving it, but it still won't show up.
One other "issue" that I just remembered, too... is there any way to get a counter of unread emails on the email icon, like the standard ROM does?
D'oh. You don't need to set the camera app to your luck screen shortcuts because all you have to do is swipe to the left from the right most border of your lock screen and it goes to the camera app.
I don't think there's an unread counter function in cm, but you can try googling it. I know nova launcher has that, but I've never seen anything like that for trebuchet.

Oh, I see that now.
Anyway, it seems to work after I reloaded CM 10.1. Originally, I was using TitaniumBackup to restore all system and app data from my stock Samsung 4.1.1 ROM, which I believe was causing problems (email was crashing constantly, for example). Once I restored only the non-system apps/data, everything seems to work as advertised (except for the counter badges, which seems to be limitation of Trebuchet).
Now that that's solved, I have another question....
When I go to make a photo a wallpaper image, I get a weird "plus" shaped resizer, which prevents me from using the whole image as a wallpaper. See the attached image. Is there any way to discard the side pieces, and just resize the wallpaper for a single screen?
