A lot of users are facing this problems:

and i wanted to share my workarounds:

if you have better ideeas post here please.

You can workaround both issues:

1) For TW4 find the apk under settings select it and delete data. all icons form app will be sorted alfabetical and desktop apps will be set to the default ones. Then set desktop as you wish and reboot to recovery and fix permisions. The apps will be saved at this.

2)For no lock screen wallpaper select no wallpaper from display setting then boot to recovery and fix permisions.

Remeber:

You must repeat (1) for TW4 for every new app you install and every new app shortcut to desktop you make.

You must repeat (2) for every time you set a lockscreen wallpaper and then you want to select no wallpaper again.

Best of luck
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fxstone:
Many people might already know that, but regarding the apps getting sorted there is an app called appzorter. It sorts the apps for you. Either by name or by installation date.

The latest Camera360 update demands a strange and dangerous permission - "Change WiFi State". This is defined as follows:

"Allows the app to connect to and disconnect from Wi-Fi access points, and to make changes to configured Wi-Fi networks."

The apps already has internet access. But change WiFi state means it can not only turn your WiFi on and off, but it can add or delete to your access points, and read/change other information like encrypted passwords.

I emailed the developer (in China) and they just keep emailing me back asking what version I am using. He obviously doesn't want to answer the question!

I've noticed this "permission creep" in many other apps. The latest Firefox Android app wants access to global system setting, address book, and accounts. The latest YouTube app can take pictures and videos without your knowledge.

There are a few apps that I no longer update. I also use DroidWall to block cameras and other apps from internet access.

Stay Away from Camera360!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tehSecret:
I use droidwall as well, actually extensively. I block everything but the necessities.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EEngineer:
Now that look at it, some of the permissions that Camera360's Chinese developers want are pretty scary:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=vStudio.Android.Camera360

Here are the most dangerous as of today:

NETWORK COMMUNICATION

FULL INTERNET ACCESS

Allows the app to create network sockets.

YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

READ SENSITIVE LOG DATA

Allows the app to read from the system's various log files. This allows it to discover general information about what you are doing with the tablet, potentially including personal or private information. Allows the app to read from the system's various log files. This allows it to discover general information about what you are doing with the phone, potentially including personal or private information.

PHONE CALLS

READ PHONE STATE AND IDENTITY

Allows the app to access the phone features of the device. An app with this permission can determine the phone number and serial number of this phone, whether a call is active, the number that call is connected to and the like.

SYSTEM TOOLS

RETRIEVE RUNNING APPS

Allows the app to retrieve information about currently and recently running tasks. Malicious apps may discover private information about other apps.

CHANGE WI-FI STATE

Allows the app to connect to and disconnect from Wi-Fi access points, and to make changes to configured Wi-Fi networks.

Camera 360 Browser Popups!

The Chinese developers that made Camera 360 removed the draconian permissions. But now, it has a more evil behavior. When you start your phone, Camera 360 starts a background process that displays popup ads on some websites with the default Android browser!

Shouldn't this thread be a sticky, and, posted somewhere owners of all different models of phones will see?

Also, surely there must be some kind of app which lets you install apps without actually granting them those permissions? Some kind of permission stripper?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bob Tums:
I'm not sure of any apps that control permissions directly but the is one called DroidWall which can block apps from communication over WiFi and/or your mobile network. Needs superuser/root access.

[HTC One X] archcry:
Hello,

Recently I bought a htc one x with a quad core processor.

I tried to root it but unfortunately the method I used did not work.

After a week I noticed that the kernel version changed to this:

2.6.39.4 gc9932b1

Root@Abm053 #1

Smp preempt

I have tried fixing this by doing a factory reset, recovery and ruu but unfortunately that did not fix the problem.

I have a theory about this problem but I don't know if it's true, so it's nice when anyone can confirm or deny this.

I think it's a visual problem, without root access you can not modify the kernel. Also, the ruu should have set the kernel back to default.

However, if my theory is true I still want it back to normal for warranty purposes. Does anyone know how to get it back to normal?

I am not new to the world of custom roms and such, and I know I'll be able to fix it by unlocking the bootloader.

But I don't want to lose warranty yet, since the phone is brand new.

I hope somebody can help me with this.

~ Archcry
[HTC One X] archcry:
Anyone?
[HTC One X] bogfather:
You can't root the quad core onex without unlocking your bootloader, the method you tried was probably for the s4 dual core model. I would suggest a ruu but you've already tried that.

As long as your phones running ok I wouldn't let it bother you (and hope that you don't have to send it in for repairs)
[HTC One X] archcry:
ok :(

thanks for the help.

I just updated OTA, and my new launcher only has the icon to open the app drawer. There are no icons on the left or right (phone and personalize?) as shown in the official documentation. I can't find Phone or Dialer in the app drawer to make a shortcut, but if I do a search for phone I can open it through the results. I can also access it from the lock screen shortcut. Any help? Before I updated I had root via the HTC dev site, and I noticed that all the bloatware I had frozen with Titanium Backup seems to be gone for good. Could that be related?

[HTC Rezound] Jabberwocky237:
I have a good friend who recieved the OTA today for ICS on his Rezound, he isn't too keen on the rooting world but wanted all of the benefits so he had one of our mutual friends root the device for him, in doing so the improperly flashed a ROM and eventually had to re-flash his phone back to stock.

so now his S boot it ON and he has RELOCKED on his bootloader in pink. His device is however rooted, so anyways whenever he goes to update his phone to ICS it goes into the bootloader and cannot install the OTA.

Im sorry the vague details but I am trying to better understand his issue, I have a thunderbolt and am somewhat familiar with the htc devices, it also doesn't help that the person who originally rooted and unlocked his phone as well as relocked it is out of town at the moment so I am trying to do the best I can to assist him.

Hi guys, I am installing Yoda´s rom for evo3d, i did htcdev unlock, root and 4ext recovery installed, then i loaded rom and start installing.

I selected full wipe and then it started, but i cant go thru first step - erasing and formatting /cache as EXT4... is doing more than an hour, I think is too much as is only first step. Also i cant see progress bar, i see only "save log" and "finish" buttons - when i touch finish, installation end and shows that everything is ok, but after reboot i got the same original rom as before (even without wipe)

How long does it take to install? Or am I doing something wrong?

Hey everyone, hopefully this isn't a total noob question, but after the ICS OTA upgrade, I have no phone (Dialer) application.

That bar that runs across the bottom was totally blank besides the "All apps" button and I have no dialer icon on the home screen. When i go into all apps, I do not have a (Dialer) application listed. I know the phone application is still on the phone somewhere because I can call people directly from my contacts, but i have no way to dial a number manually from what i can tell. If I go to settings > Apps > All, I can see the dialer there, but I have no way to create a shortcut to the dialer that I can use.

Anyone got any ideas on that?
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
It should be called "Phone" in the app tray. Is that missing too? What happens if you hit the search button and enter Phone, the icon should show up and you can drag it to the desktop or tray from there.

Ya, unless someone finds a solution I'll be factory resetting my phone. I hope that means I don't have to download the OTA again, but whatever.
