I recently from Viper Rom lollipop to GPE and painfully came back to Viper 4.3 Lollipop
Since - I cannot pull notification bar EXCEPT the home screen and now even thats gone, although it works horizontally
I had a 4.4 Kit Kat Back up which I reverted to and issue remains, did data wipe, cache clean etc, still same
I did a line drawing test and as suspected the upper region is blank
Is this a coicidence? that after changing roms it killed something although I feel it might have acted up even b4 my recent Viper>GPE>Viper experiment
I am S-OFF
What do I please?
S/W Fix?
If HWD? Phone is still under 1 year, how do I make it so it looks stock and not get caught
Please help
Anyone please

I've been working on making a ROM for a while. I started with the stock 2.2 November OTA, and have been doing some theming and making some changes in the framework and such. mostly basic stuff like getting rid of the GPS indicator in the notification bar, and the USB debugging notification. Also implementing 6 bar signal bar, and pulling some stuff from Evo ROMS. I also made some changes in the Rosie.apk, transparent app drawer, making the right button open the browser, etc.
somehow, something I changed broke the ability of the signal indicator to display 1x when appropriate. I used to see 3g change to 1x briefly whenever sending a text, but not anymore. I didn't think much of it til yesterday, I was in a bad signal area, but the signal indicator still showed 3g. I was trying to send an MMS, and it too a very long time. I went into Settings - About - Networks and saw it said CDMA -1xRTT, notification bar still showed 3g.
It's such a minor thing, but it's still a bug and I'd like to get it fixed. The weird thing is, I tried reverting back to the stock files bit by bit, until I was back to the stock framework and stock Rosie, but it was still broken after wiping everything and flashing again. So I reverted phone to full stock by flashing the November OTA PB31IMG.zip and it went back to working. Flashed my ROM with the stock framework and Rosie, broke it again.
I've been working on this ROM for a while and can't recall all the dozens of little changes I made, but I know it wasn't much outside of /framework/ and /app/.
Anyone have an idea what I may have done to break this?
Ok now I feel a little stupid. I just went and pulled the entire framework folder from the stock OTA and flashed just that (I was replacing files in framework one at a time before) and NOW I see 1x when I send a text....
so it definitely was something that I changed in there.... mostly what I've done is change stuff in the classes.dex files in smali, but I can't figure out which change broke the 1x...
So I have a Boost Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 (Epic 4G Touch) and I recently found out there was an update from Ice Cream Sandwich to Jelly Bean. So I immediately rushed to my computer and updated the software. I absolutely love it! My girlfriend tried it out and she really liked it, so I plugged her phone in and did the update as well. Her phone is the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2.
When we updated her phone (using the automated Samsung Kies update), she was not too happy with her version. She lost the "Active Applications" widget (and program it seems, we can't find it anywhere anymore; it's the one used to end programs and clear the RAM).
Instagram has a lot of problems. If she tries uploading a picture, when she's on the screen to add effects to the image and what not, she cannot see the bar at the top or bottom of the screen. We tried clearing the data, then uninstalling it and reinstalling it but that made no difference.
Also, when she tries to use the camera sometimes, something very similar happens and she cannot see the buttons on the top or bottom of the screen.
About half the time that she unlocks the phone, the screen just shows black, and you can't do anything. If you hold the power button down, it'll show the "Device options" box to restart or turn off the phone, even though the background is still showing black, so we know it's not freezing at all.
She's pretty mad that her phone is no longer working correctly cuz the update on my phone is awesome. We didn't run into any issues with the install procedure while updating her phone. I'm just trying to figure out what to do. I really don't want to wipe the phone clean and try hard rebooting it. And we really don't want to have to get it replaced.
Has anyone else had any issues with this? And do you have any ideas on what to do to fix it?
it sounds like she would be better off rooting the phone and installing the latest aokp rom which is 4.2.2
thats what i'm running right now on my t989 and its running smoother than stock
Got a new OG E975. Running stock rom 4.1.2.
Getting red pixels in the transparent part of the drop down menu when I'm changing settings (see pic). Only lasts a couple of seconds. Also noticed it in other transparent areas.
Otherwise the phone is running fine.
Is this just a software glitch or a sign of impending hardware failure?
Thanks in advance

No one else experienced this?
im not having this... but well my phone is new
i dont know if its a software problem probably it isn't (try to flash another rom or factory reset)
if the problem persists just go to a service center and ask to change you the screen (pretty expensive though)
Hi everyone, ive had my g pad 8.3 for about 6 months and the whole time i have had this problem intermittently only when using a custom Kernel or Kernel/Rom..
I get a horizontal line (or 2, also sometimes at different heights on the screen) what looks like dead/stuck Green pixels, but the lines/pixels usually move with the graphic/picture they are sitting on..
I dont think its actually a hardware problem as a Screenshot reveals the problem, also i have NEVER seen this screen problem while in Recovery, or during Boot, Also it has never happened while on the stock Kernel..
It happened while i was on Stock V20D rom with AIC gamma fix Kernel, its happening now on adrianom's AOSP Lollipop Rom (which i REALLY want to stay on!!..)
Ive tried different stock firmware base's (V20A,B,D) also different TWRP versions before flashing, i ALWAYS fully wipe when flashing new roms..
Sometimes it can go perfect for a week, other times it happens every day (a reboot fixes it for a while)
Im out of ideas! Hopefully someone else has had this issue and knows what the cause is, please see my screenshot and video.. Thanks in advance.

View it in original size, the line is near the center of the screen.
My LG G4 has always remained stock, other than the fact that I upgraded the rom to MM manually. Since about a month ago (after roughly 5 of working like expected), the volume drop-down would not hide unless I "scrolled down", pressed back, or "slide my finger up". It's become annoying and I hate fighting it now. A possible culprit might be that this started to happen after cleaning up my phone and I decided to remove 360 Security.
Any idea how this can return to the expected and stock behavior? Thanks!
Edit-just found out auto correct changed auto-hide to auto-generated. Sorry about that!
Hey there,
I've not seen this issue before so I can't comment on a specific fix. If you are rooted I would suggest taking a back up and starting from scratch from a kdz. It's a bit of an overkill approach (whether you are rooted or not) but it will ensure that you get the fix and can also do a bit of house keeping at the same time. Just remember if you do the kdz, then all of your internal storage will be gone as well so you will need to back up files onto your laptop first.
Regards,
Ravi
