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?

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

Hi people,
I'm using Leedroid 3.* ROM, and V4 noRosie Sense 3 stuff. I have a problem - no icons (shortcuts) are shown on the lockscreen, same was on 3.2.1 with prev version of noRosie stuff, so I made a clean install (full wipe) but nothing changed. Still has no icons on lockscreen, and also all other lockscreen styles are not shown at all (weather, friendstream, album ...). Please help.
did you wipe data/factory reset?
another thing you could try is in settings and running apps, find htc sense and clear data, give it a minute to reload and try again
Hello,
I got that error too, not any shortcut is shown on lockscreen.
Sometimes they appear for 1 second max, and then the 4 disappear.
The only thing working is the unlock ring.
It's the Rosie package (V5).
If someone could help.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I had removed folder /data/data/com.android.settings, it may be the reason why lockscreen ****s.
my first post!
I had this same problem. The lockscreen with no widget or shortcuts the 'first run' lockscreen. Run the program 'Setup' all hit next all the way through. Make sure you hit finish at the end and your lockscreen should work fine.

Thanks! Although on a different device, this solution worked perfectly!!
Yes. This fix worked for me after several days pulling my hair out.

is there any patch you flashed? maybe it's the problem of patches
Well since I don't have enough posts it won't let me post in the Dev section...ugh....anyway, I just wiped and flashed MazWoz-EVO ICS ROM BETA 4 and had to do it a few times because it kept screwing up after I would restore my apps and data via Titanium. I figured since this was ICS and my previous was Gingerbread there were some issues so I didn't restore data this last time and thought all was well.
I can't seem to get the browser to work and I tried Chrome Beta but I already read on the forum that is not working right with this ROM so I'll try something different. But I heard the ICS Browser is really good so I want to try it! Someone else posted the same issue but no response yet:
slikgman: My browser stopped working and i don't know when and why. I keep getting the message "unfortunately, browser stopped working" i am now using Dolphin HD browser. I've tried using the reboot and ROM manager permission fix to correct the problem.

Then I just went to unlock the phone a minute ago and my background showed up but no icons and none of the home buttons did anything. I could scroll between all the home screens but they were all blank except for my background! Hmmm...maybe I tried ICS too soon...though people on the Dev forum seem to be having a lot of luck with this ROM
Can't really help, but sounds like a bad install. I've been running this ROM for 2 weeks with no issues other than what is stated in OP.

Can I just re-flash the zip or will it force me to wipe again? I just got some of my main apps up and going so I hate to wipe for the third time in the last 12 hours...lol
Also, do you know how to change the lock screen options? I use Handcent for messaging and want to swap out the standard "slide up" to go to Handcent instead of Messaging. I can't figure out how to edit this for the life of me!
Until you've gotten a good install I would always wipe a couple times per the instructions in the OP.
Also, when changing the lock screen icons there is a trick to it. It's discussed many times over in the OP.
Basically (going from memory since I am not running the rom at the moment) you go to the lockscreen changer, if you want to add weather only you use the rosie utility. Otherwise you have to use the other utility option that is there. You can add/change whatever icons you want by tapping the icon and selecting the replacement. The icons on this screen may not update. Once you close the utility the icons and shortcuts should be as you desire. If you go back in it will reset and you will have to do the process over again.
What recovery are you using?

Oops, i just realized my response was for "The Express..." rom shortcuts. Sorry about that!
So to change lockscreen shortcuts go to Apps -> Evervolv toolbox -> Lockscreen -> Lockscreen style -> Custom Mapping -> App shortcut -> Applications....and so on.

I was gonna say! Thanks that's exactly what I needed!
Oh FYI...I sort of figured out the browser issue. All I had to do was go into my Manage Apps, go to Browser and did a Force Stop, Clear Data, and Clear Cache and then went to try it again and it has worked fine since! Weird....
Also, does anyone know where the Car Dock settings are for ICS? I'd like to change the setting to not go into Car Dock mode when docked, since it leaves the phone lit up the whole time. Some ROMs have that option and some don't, but I'd like to know if ICS has that built in and how I get to it.
Another weird thing about this ROM....
If I long press on the home screen to add an app icon, I get the usual list (Apps, Shortcuts, Widgets and Wallpapers) plus choice for Nova Actions. I can add shortcuts and widgets just fine but when I click Apps, it will show me my list of apps but when I select an app it just opens the app! It doesn't add the icon to my home screen! Annoying even though I can still add it there by long pressing the app itself.

I don't know how to fix that but that's what happened to me as well but I was using calkulin and it had three lock screens. lol

No help. Even with no lock, still lock screen wallpaper showed up. That's the reason why OP is saying two lockscreens.
Generally, any good application could replace the system UI without any side effects or problem. But something like lockscreen apps are not replacing the default stock lockscreen functions usually. I believe it's because it's so critical function on the phone and by replacing the core functions, it could bring the big trouble to the app developer.
One more issue is, compatibility issue once the stock rom is upgraded or modified. That's the reason why custom lockscreen developers are not touching system UI or app. I've seen lots of modified system apps are not running properly from the next or changed version. For many apps, by uninstalling and reinstalling it solve the problem. But for lockscreen app, if it's not working after any change, it means, 'now I have soft bricked phone'.

Crazy, didn't know that, thanks for the info! I guess it makes sense that you're messing with some pretty deep system stuff when you're tweaking the equivalent of an OS logon screen.
Haha, damn thanks for the wise words. I didnt know that either!
The only way I've found to fix this was by running a TSM mod and toggling the lockscreen toggle. But that's a temporary fix as the stock lockscreen eventually pops up(at random).
Disabling from the security menu only works in ICS, not GB. Another perk about ICS.
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 have confirmed from many others that the new July brings up some improvements but also an annoying bug that glitches the animation when you rotate the screen from landscape to portrait.
Now I'm curious if we can do anything to fix this diy or we need to wait for Xiaomi to fix this ... next month.
What I tried until now:
-Enable developer option and mess with animations speed - no improvement, animations go slower, faster but the black screen glitch still remains
-Messed up with 3d and hardware acceleration in developer options - no improvement
-Narrowed down the glitch to the launcher since while outside the launcher the animation continues after a black screen appears and while in launcher the wallpaper blinks with no black screen.
-Tried installing aftermarket launcher and disabling the stock launcher ... but the stock launcher cannot be stopped and disabled
-After a 2nd launcher the bug still persist
-Reset the stock launcher and wipe cache and data - no improvement
-Reset System UI - no improvement
What else is there? How can we fix this OCD inducing glitch?
Hi,
I understand that this bug can be very annoying for those who often watch videos or use landscape mode apps.
But honestly I doubt there could be an easy fix (without root and customizing program)
So I'm afraid we will have to live with it at least until next update...

I think there COULD be a solution, not sure tho. I am just curious what could cause the glitch, what process, or what app.
Maybe there could be someone knowing how the inner works of the system work, or what exactly did the OTA modified. Maybe the bug could be fixed by a simple data deletion. I don't know...
Hello.
I don't like animations, so I disabled it all. Maybe this will be usefull for you, at least as alternative solution until an update solve the problem.
Go to Settings -> Acessibility -> Turn off animations
Maybe the names are different for you, but I hope you can find it.

Even with animation off, the screen still blinks black when rotating from landscape to portrait. That's the bug, not the animation.

Maybe the result was unexpected. You know why I posted this? I was hoping that someone installed a fresh copy of the full ROM on a blank device and... the problem is not there. The update maybe conflicting with something in the already configured system. Idk...
