Today I tried to add a few extra buttons to my launcher tab and now it's screwed. All the button labels are hidden behind the immediate bottom row of buttons. I tried going back to the original setting, but that didn't fix it. Is there a way to get it back to the default settings or may be remove the button labels all together?
I did reset the device, but that's didn't fix the problem. For the record, I'm using NFSFAN's latest 6.5 v1.0 ROM

Can you hard reset?

I can probably hard reset, but don't want to do it for this little problem. I hate going thru reinstalling apps all over again and then restoring my contacts from MyPhone. I will do that only if I want to flash a new ROM. To me it looks like a software glitch and probably there's an XML fix.
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!!!

I'm going to give my son my Epic, he's a toddler and he's all about playing on my phone..well, of course I want to disable certain features, password lock settings and play store etc, is there any 'kids corner' like apps or setups that I could use?
I'm on CM10.1 with it right now, one thing he loves doing is dragging apps from the drawer and making folders with tons of the same app in them..lol so want to cut that out, maybe require rolling back to GB where folders were not able to be created..of course having the ability to stop him from dropping shortcuts on the home screen at all would be best..
Any ideas?
Re: Best setup for a kid on the Epic4G
I believe adw launcher has the option to lock the desktop

Nova and Apex can do it as well

Re: Best setup for a kid on the Epic4G
Here's my current issue, if I could get around this I've got the perfect setup..
I want to use a password locker app to lock settings, which I can do, but I cannot lock nova settings, the app does not show up in the list on app lock apps even though it's in the app drawer. Doesn't make sense honestly.
The only other hurdles are disabling the long press home key/recent apps, although if I lock everything but his games it won't matter..just need to lock nova settings and if possible wallpapers, system settings and manage apps both require pin from the menu touch key.
I removed the notification bar and all quick toggles and the dock, going to add all games to desktop and lock it and delete the app drawer icon as well as hide and/or lock all apps like play store etc. Then putting on the otter box and putting some tape around it so he can't open the keyboard. I think he will enjoy having his own phone to play with, he loves the puzzle apps

Nova Settings is not an independent app, so...

Re: Best setup for a kid on the Epic4G
Hmmmm...no way to lock or hide it...or disable the hardware keys (or at least the menu key)?
I just don't want him fiddling with the settings

A more unpleasant news: even you disable hardware menu key somehow, Nova Settings is still accessible via the app list - 3-dot button on the top right corner

No, there's no app list button there I can delete the only shortcut to the app drawer. Not sure which version you are running or if you are thinking of ADW or Apex, one of which I do recall has the app list persistent on the homescreen as such. Novaprime does not have that..you can add one, but if I can lock the settings with a pin and lock desktop it will be quite locked down. Amy ROMS that have Navbar added in and disable the hardware keys?
Aha found a way to disable the Hardware keys....
"delete the text in /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl and then save changes in a root explorer app."
Now to figure out how to build a flashable file to replace said file with original file so touchkeys can be re-enabled so I can further modify the device...figure I could get it where I needed it and push a blank file via ADB or use a flashable zip like villianROM theming flash files to disable/enable them from recovery.
I could make a step-by-step once I figure this out, I'm sure there are lots of homeless (deactivated) Epics that would love to be cuddled by some toddlers lol
Well I gave my Epic to my son several months ago and it is still running strong the only thing he's managed to change is the wallpaper (I'm not sure how, but he did it from within the game 'Where's My Water' somehow, that is currently the background).
So step by step what I did was- Downloaded a favorite app blocker tool that requires a PIN to launch apps (the Audio Manager secret app is a great one IMO) and removes them from the app drawer (so far he's not been able to access it once anyway). I have another app locker that prompts with a fake 'Force Close' screen, you have to long-press OK to access the PIN entry dialogue, just another layer of security.
Put Google Play and any other app possibly triggered by a game/link into the 'Locked' section of your app locker.
Install Nova (I have the Prime version, it will likely be required) and in Settings, hide dock with a swipe gesture (I use two fingers rotated counter-clockwise), put 5 pages on the dock.
Place links to the app drawer and the Nova Action Hide/Show Notification Bar on the far right page of the dock (or far left will work as well), to hide the dock, slide over to the far-left page and use your swipe gesture. That way the dock can only reveal the app drawer and Hide/Show Notifications if you use your swipe gesture and then scroll 4 times to the right- something my son is almost certain not to accidentally do.
Next, navigate to the aforementioned folder (/system/usr/keylayout/ or similar) and delete both the menu touchkey line and the search touchkey line in the layout file. This will disable the actions, but will still respond to touch and blink/vibrate.
Remove any quicksettings accessible via notification menu- some apps are still programmed to be in regular view mode instead of fullscreen and a toddler will occasionally be able to access the notification menu- like Netflix, for example. Remove any actions and block any apps that can be triggered from the notification menu.
Finally, set up your desktop with all games and links your child would use and lock it from within Nova settings and lock desktop. You will still be able to access your dock, but you will not be able to add/delete apps or move them around on the desktop without long-pressing the lock icon, which doesn't resemble a button so my son hasn't figured that out yet either. (I'm screwed when he learns how to read, and he already knows his letters so it's only a matter of time now!)
I also used a piece of 3M double-stick adhesive strip (1/8" thick foam) and cut it so it covers both menu/search buttons and leaves home/back exposed- I didn't want him to get frustrated trying to tap the buttons and nothing happens since they still react to touch- I could have hidden the buttons, disabled them, enabled a navbar and only added those two buttons (home/back) but that would take up valuable screen real-estate for his movies and games. Then I finished by installing an OtterBox cover and taping the sides so that the phone will not slide open any longer.
He has access to one main screen and anything the phone can do, at least that he knows it can do, is located on that main screen, and he can't customize anything but the background image, apparently, lol.
It's pretty much like an iPhone now.
Hi everyone,
I'm desperately trying to find a way to disable the dock on the galaxy S9 home screen which would normally house app icons statically when sliding from one screen to another.
I know I can remove the app icons and have done so and kept it that way for years to keep it clean, but its real-estate that's being taken up.
I have a number of widgets I find useful (claendar and music) and they tend to float above a blank space on the home screen where the dock lives, and if I can disable the dock, and free up that real-estate, I can utilise it.
I have already disabled the status bar at the top using adb, and if there's an adb command out there that will do this I'd be grateful.
Thanks guys and gals.
Nova Launcher
I was afraid someone would suggest a launcher. I've got nova, but I've uninstalled it, I'm trying to get a clean rooted stock rom, hence looking for something like an adb command to handle this. I would like to stay away from launchers
hi ppl...
i got a weird problem.
on the lockscreen the touchscreen works 100% normal,
i can swipe down the statusbar & use the buttons at
the bottom ( microfon, lock, camera).
but after unlocking the lockscreen, i cant swipe down
the statusbar & cant use the navigation buttons at the bottom.
tried factory reset, flashed stock 7, stock 8, still the same.
what the %&*@#* is that?
any hints welcome ^^
I got the same problem...
Same problem here, on about 15-20 units.
I'm trying to find a alternative rom to see if it's better...
Anyone find the solution for this?
