[Q] MIUI ICS Icon Backgrounds

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?

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.

CyanogenMod 12 Discussion and Bug Report thread

This thread is intended for discussing CyanogenMod 12 by @arco68 for our Galaxy W:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...cyanogenmod-12-0-20141230-unofficial-t2988830
NB. Read the installation instructions carefully as its quite different from previous ROMs.
NB. The first boot can take up to 50 minutes during which you'll see nothing but the boot animation.
NB. This ROM is still in its infancy, and many CyanogenMod features have yet to be included in upstream.
Huge thanks to arco68 and Christopher83 for making this ROM a reality.

Well, devs saddle up, end users rejoice...but this is certainly a huge amount of work done in a short time period, given the amount of differences.
...I'll miss Xposed until it's updated. Hoping that V4A will still work.

I've been using it for a couple of hours now, and I'm really surprised at how well its working!!
Most of the bugs I've run into are non-device-specific, and are due to the infancy of CM12 upstream.
Whats really funny is that not even my Nexus received 5.0.2 yet :')

Yeah, plenty of upstream bugs and feature limitations.
Hoping to get some magically unsecret things sorted out with CM12 in an effort to test various new things.

Seems like Performance option not implemented yet on settings. CMIIW
So, any idea how to get translucent status bar without changing build.prop?

I think the only way is editing build.prop for now

Everything has gone fine until I install a "smartkeyboardpro" offline apk. After the apk installation finished, the screen went blank and i didn't see any display responses on the screen. But when I pressed and hold the power button, 'shutdown' and 'reboot' options appeared so I just rebooted my phone. The phone then rebooted and there came up a 'android is upgrading' followed by 'android is optimizing 1 app'.. but it seemed to take forever that I decided to re-wipe and re-install the rom

On the second boot, I got optimizing 3 apps message too. Took about 15 minutes.
Subsequent reboots are all fine.

yeah it took so long and i never thought that it would last like 15 minutes..
I'll try to install offline apk again and see what happens..

The optimizing apps on second boot is TRIM running. Google changed this in 5.0.2, so now it is run automatically once a day. Either during the night while phone is charging or after you reboot.

After I log in to my google account, google ask me to backup data and apps or not
Then I choose yes and just select 5 apps (total around 80 Mb)
Then it says restoring...
It is so long waiting. So, I reboot and I cant bypass to launcher. It still says restoring after I reboot. Im still waiting now...

that's because you've select to restore your applications that synced on google play (backup) service, So you have to wait until all apps installed.
I was select as new device, so I have to install one by one from play store again.

encryption unsuccessful ,how can i fix it;? please help

I don't think encryption on a phone like ours is a good idea. (single core, 512MB, very slow MMC)
It slowed the hell outta my new Nexus!!

Any ideas on what to do with the .img files inside the zip if I, say, wanted to edit the system contents before flashing so I can remove/replace applications?

I found strange black screens inside folders gallery, all black screens persist for every single picture on gallery, and make looks like cheese board pattern

So I reinstall and select nothing. It works. I dont know what is the problem anyway. If I watch youtube, the restoring is just less then a minute then it jumps to launcher then continue to download selected apps. In my case, it stucks at restoring...

This is fixed with latest CWM 6.0.5.1 fresh install from here. For flashing details see first post at CM12 Mr. Arne thread, especially CWM section. I also have been updated my CWM few months ago to apparently "old" 6.0.5.1, but there was no option "format /data and /data/media" under "mounts and storage" menu. Only "format /data". Good Luck!

Yea man I noticed it ony force closes if your in a conversation or message thread and you hit the home button instead of backing out to the message list then pressing home. It's annoying but it can be worked around. Hoping for a fix

Using Gear S Smartwatch
I have also noticed that the necessary files and plugins to connect the phone to the gear s smartwatch are missing from the 5.1.1 update. I found them on a different XDA thread and installed them manually and now everything works as it should with using the smartwatch for those of you who have one. However, I also noticed with messages app I tried a different approach by dirty flashing 5.1.1 over 5.02 stock and messaging was working fine without ANY force closes. Then I installed everything for my Gear S smartwatch and rebooted. Once I rebooted the messages app began to force close again. I dont know if it is due to reboot like capacitive buttons with haptic feedback, or if it was due to one of the plugins for my smartwatch. If anybody can test it out by dirty flashing then rebooting let me know. Sorry for long post, just trying to help.

Is it normal for me to loose root access after installing this rom ? Is there a way I can get it back without being stuck in a bootloop ?

You should probably read up on the ROM a bit before flashing, it's clearly stated (and much discussed) in the thread that root is not available.

Where does it state no root for v2 because I didn't see it in the description or near the download link.

How to turn haptic feedback back on for capacitive
For those of you who installed the 5.1.1 rom and lost capacitive feedback after reboot like I did. I found something strange which turned the feature back on. Here's a step by step.
Go into play store and install the app called DU BATTERY SAVER
Once installed, open the app and click on the SAVER TAB at the bottom
In the SAVER TAB click on MY MODE and enable it
Then click on the PENCIL next to MY MODE to Edit it
In there you'll find HAPTIC FEEDBACK IS DISABLED. ENABLE IT.
Voila!! your welcome!!

Lol by accident actually! I downloaded this app cuz it was recommended by Samsung apps and then browsed around in settings. Lol. When u reboot tho you will have to go back in that app and uncheck the setting. Save. Then recheck and save again. Annoying but a workaround for now.

App closed, even on diffrent Roms

The Device is a I9195.
It had the Stock Rom, I think Lollipop? not Sure, it was the newest aviable via OTA. It had some serious battery issues and sometimes the App not Responding prompt appeared for diffrent apps. They usually vanished after a few seconds. Today I flashed TWRP, took a backup of the full Rom and flashed the daily LineageOS build from the general section. It all worked fine until I realised that I forgot to copy the Contacts. Back to TWRP and made another backup of LineageOS. The I restored the Stock one. After it booted up, I entered my PIN and thats all. Blackscreen and random App not responding popping up all the time. Even after a wait of at least 30 mins nothing changed. So I just copied the contacts2.db file via TWRP and tried to restore my Lineage backup. After booting up, guess what, App not responding, after waiting like a minute, back to bootscreen for a loop. Back to TWRP, full wipe, reflash, After boot, the same. I tried it several times now and I don know what to do. My next thing to try would be flashing RR, but at this point I dont know if it will change anything at all.

Assuming you did a full wipe as you say then maybe it's a Gapps problem as apps not responding, what gapps source did you use? Was it arm, android 7.1 & micro or smaller? Did you install your old app data?
You could try going back to stock then reflash LOS again, maybe with gapps from a different source, and don't reinstall app data from your backup.
(BTW. When you have a "black screen" does it show the notification bar at the top & can you pull down the quick settings? Does the power off menu work? So in other words, different screen layers seem to work so you see the app not responding msg (though I didn't get app not responding msg). I had this when I first tried LOS14, can't remember if I fixed it ..... or was that LOS13? ....... Or do you mean your whole screen is black but just some msg pop up?)

I tried it with arm 7.1.1 Aroma Package Gapps. The first time it worked fine. After the restore and the wipes etc. I tried it with and without Gapps, but it just showed the black screen and the messages pop up. No notifications. I was able to open up the power menu like normal, on LineOS and on Stock. They behaved the same. I'm now on RR and this seems to work fine. I'll report if something weird happens, its the phone of my father.

Got an OTA update today...

And it really messed things up. Device not seeing other launchers, and the native launcher is 'stuck' - any modifications I make (icons/screens/widgets/positioning etc) resets after every reboot.
Cleared cache, but no luck.
Help.

And notifications don't show on the top (only when I pull down, and not all)

Not only is the phone even more dysfunctional now, it's uglier too. The cosmetic updates are gross, the new emojis are gross, AND they added software that's unremovable.

If you guys read my mega thread you will see there is a fix for the launcher customizing resetting there in tge fidst post under the change log.
But i also have a list of bugs i will forward to Nubia once the community have found them all.

For alternate launchers, be sure to set it in the App Info settings > 3-dot menu > default apps > Desktop.

Try doing an in place update of the full rom zip, then clear cache and data of launcher.
During beta test clearing data fixed it for all testers. So its possible the OTA had an additional bug for you

Can confirm on the update the method you described doesn't work (on mine the alternate launchers don't show up in the defaults list for desktop).
@Nyanwiz - I ended up flashing the latest Q stock rom, but would be willing to try your suggestion. Can I just flash the full zip of new R build over it without losing data? And if it doesn't work, can I flash the 10 back?
Or do I need to do through the front end system updates UI?

By any chance do you remember which rom those testers used for their testing? The fix hasn't worked for me, and I was running the US rom

Hi, I also had the same issue where any app icon when dragged onto a home screen would disappear. Tried to force stop the native launcher and restart the device. It worked after a few goes and my old home screens were restored and i am able to add apps onto my home screen. Haven't tried any custom launcher like nova yet. I'm guessing its a bug I was about to submit a ticket before it "fixed itself".
