I have CM7 RC1.5, nightly 2 and my widgets will work for about a week, then randomly, with nothing else added or downloaded, Launcher Pro will randomly FC after i wake the phone and from there on out, the message "problem loading widget" appears where every widget was, and i have to re-add my widgets...

Anyone else have this happening, or have a fix for it?

Thank you.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctinsley:
Try fix permissions in rom manager and also reboot to recovery and wipe the dalvik cache and you should be good to go. I had this issue a while ago and those steps fixed it for me.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8nole:
Give the phone plenty of time after a reboot. LP will force close if a lot of other programs are trying to start up. That fixed my problems with LP.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mslam02:
that worked thank you, but wondering why it randomly does this?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mslam02:
LP would FC and mess the widgets up while the phone had already been on half the day, not after a reboot
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] formformer:
After some water exposal, bottom hardware buttons (along with optical trackball) refused to work. :(

I have fixed them with some precise inside cleaning, but the optical function (not the button himself) continues malfunctioning, which is not a big deal for me, but..

The exact problem: i spotted in dark environment, that the sensor inside continuously glimmers in all modes - scren-off, scren-on (without puting finger over him), etc.. In return, my battery drains extra aprox. 10-12 mA!

I have observed, that in healthy device, sessor glimms only when interacting with him..

Is there a chance to disable this sensor to avoid this? I hope in software manner :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
I don't think there is anything out there that will disable the optical pad. You could give HTC a call or your carrier and see what they say.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eden2812:
There is this thread on the forums about turning off the backlights.

Should work for trackball as well? Probably. Something about LED Hack on the first or second page. Seems to be something on the 3rd page as well.

@formformer

If you tell me your kernel version I will try to build a kernel without trackpad support!?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] formformer:
@Meaple 's post was sadly adequate and rips best hope in me ;( ..

@eden2812 I have using 2 led hacks from previous attempts to minimize energy consumption & eye comfort, and they shurely don't do the "trackpad sensor shutting" job..

@AndroidJaspie

it's so damn cool to offer this kind of experience. salute!

i have likely using latest Ginger Villain's compilation, but any recent rom-kernel set, with weak appetite fits my best.

i will be very patient to hear from you..

my current setup is:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidJaspie:
OK I built a new kernel from the cyanogenmod sources now without trackball support. I tested it with GingerVillain 1.4 and it worked.

please make a backup and then give the update.zip a try.

Tell me if the new kernel solved your problem or not.

Jasper
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] formformer:
Yes Jasper, obviously the sensor is shutted (no glimmering observes) and the xtra drain is all gone now!! I'm so pleased.

But i have found, that the bottom buttons (including the button under the optical trackpad) not waking the phone any more. Is this issue related?

And another, not so important question: Would be this kernel compliant with other Gingerbread releases? or.. could you give me some hint, if is possible to transform your "surgery" into a some kind of a patch, that will give me opportunity to enjoy any feature kernel/roms?

Again, BIG 10x for your respond in this custom problem so far! You make my life happier ;)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidJaspie:
No problem i like it to work with things like that. So it's a good chance to improve my knowledge about linux and help other people at the same time.

Are you talking about the all buttons or only about the button around the optical sensor?

If you are talking about the one around the sensor then it's normal that it won't wake up the phone any more. But the others(home, menu, back and search) should work like before.

This kernel works only with cyanogenmod and GingerVillain. On other rom's like Oxygen it doesn't work. But you i can compile you the kernel you want.

At the moment it's only possible to disable the trackball only by editing the kernel configuration. But i will try to get it working without changing the kernel so that you can use every kernel you want.

Jasper
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] formformer:
i told so, about the relation of shutted sensor and not working buton.., but yes, others buttons also not working in lockscreen-off mode, where they should or at least worked before. (volume butts still works for wakening..)

ps. a have barely no linux skills, but its interesting for me either!

and if editing & compiling is not so high level task, im going to try first steps right now! ;)

Any way, disabling track sensor without editing kernel settings sounds like a dream..

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] formformer:
hi, my fried ;)

could you tell me, where in the config I can find the exact setting and how to change it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidJaspie:
hi

if you got the kernel source you can make menuconfig to configure the new kernel. To disable the trackball go to "Device Drivers" --> "Input device support" --> "Opticaljoystick". To disable the joystick press "n" to enable it press "y"

Don't know how to comile your own kernel?

here is a useful links that helped me, too:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] formformer:
huh.. 10x 4 the guides, they light me enough to get started week ago, but i get stuck just in the beginning (problems with MBR or something..). and at this moment i have absolute lack of time to deal with this interesting stuff. However.. can i have one more last ask from you: to compile for me an updated kernel.. (they says he has the ability to record 2way call conversations..)

Using the Ginger Villain rom, suppose with this richardtrip kernel. Guess CM will worx too..

Thanks anyway! ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidJaspie:
ok

a bit late but here it is

a new kernel version 2.6.37.2 from the richardtrip-sources.

kernel features:

I don't know anything about "Two-way call recording kernel support" but i will try to find out as much as posible to configure a kernel with it.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] angryattheworld:
For Bionix 1.3.1 only... this does not contain the Project Linda 2.0 sounds. They are compatible, and can be flashed seperately. Link in my sig.

Added screenshots - first time doing it so i don't know why they are so blurry. The theme is clearer...

I take no credit for this whatsoever - I just combined some things I like to make my own personal theme, and decided to share it.

Credit goes to creator2456 for Bionix Blackout Update 1 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=971848

And rel500 for Splash of Color v2.5 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=938317

All I did was inject the icons from splash of color into the bionix blackout theme. I also added the browser, media provider, and settings menu from splash of color. Also, the icons to the android and rotary lockscreens have been put in because they are the ones I like to use. I loved the black and white, but it felt a little flat to me. So I mashed this up and I like the results.

You can check the two original posts for screens, and you will figure out what you are getting.

To Install: Download file and place on root of sd card, reboot into recovery and wipe cache partition and go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache. Flash and reboot. It will be a long reboot, don't freak out. Mine took about 4 1/2 minutes when I installed it.

Issues: The rotary unlock screen shows a vibrate icon, but it puts the phone in silent mode when you use it, not being fixed. The stars for comments in the market are white, and I don't care.

I will not be supporting this in any way, it is ONLY for Bionix V 1.3.1, and I am not responsible if you screw up your phone. I just created this for myself, and thought others would like it, so I decided to share.

I love both the splash of color and blackout, but I went with splash because the phone process on blackout kept FCing, which is still happening on this mash up for me. Love the theme, great job.

I don't have enough posts to show some screenshots
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] angryattheworld:
Added screenshots for you lazy bastards - little blurry though. The theme is clearer, but you should get the hint.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] YMark:
Has nothing to do with being lazy. Why install something that when we don't know what it looks like. Being lazy would be posting without screen shots. Kinda half-assed. :cool:
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] angryattheworld:
:eek: Touche' :D

I just figured people would be able to look at the links for the original themes and realize they have the icons from one, but the base of the other... and then they get to see more screens of the themes. :(

Then again, my fault for putting that info in the middle of the post, because people don't read anymore...:rolleyes:

If flashed onto Bionix-v 1.3.1, does this theme bring back the off-center lockscreen dots from 1.3, as Splash of Color 2.5 does?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] angryattheworld:
I an not sure if I put those in, but the android and rotary locks had most of the icons restored. Don't think I did the dots, and I don't have it installed to check. Could someone running it give a better answer? I haven't abandoned it, just trying something else out right now and I don't know which icons they are off the top of my head...

Ok guys group hug?

Some people are tribal some dance to their own tune. Damian has ruffled many a feather here it seems but so be it he has pride in his work and seems to be a perfectionist, he has his tribe or rather had until the ext2 tribe disbanded along with z4mod and oclf... And the ext4 have theirs.

We all have our personality quirks and the devs often disagree which is expected and healthy.

I think the biggest weakness is pride which can prevent people admitting mistakes and learning from people who may actually know more. Since I am a layman I have no idea who is guilty of this not knowing technical coding talk.

I have seen some comments from Damian which sure seemed a bit rude, maybe a language barrier? Where are from Damian how well can you speak English? Btw... anyway I have grown to understand him an he has integrity and talent... and a Hot head LOL!

And I used ext2 with an old Damian kernel with no problems. Seemed ok to me, curious I even forced my phone to crash and pulled the battery with no problems. He still uses it and many using his new kernel too ...

My greatest respect for being the most diplomatic and humble of all the devs goes out to supercurio. A while back he found a serious bug in universal lag fix kernel, his direct competition, and didn't act smug about it or arrogant. In fact he wrote a kernel to fix the corrupted data this caused. And the ulfk guys promptly rectified it with a thanks. We all make mistakes. Considering his professional level of talent and amazing work he could be arrogant, plus he is French! (Joke).

C'mon I hate to see the stereotype childish, *****y geek coming out so much.

Now Damian, prove to us all you don't have to much pride or passive/aggressive problems with other devs and use some of the work from others in your great kernel that we all want. If you believe the code is sloppy or not up to your standard so be it. You are clearly not afraid to say so, so put it in a separate kernel version with a warning if you like and silence your critics.

Ok...another group hug people

[Galaxy S I9000 General] rschenck:
Big +1 to rlorange.

As a newcomer to this forum and Android, I was at first shocked by the amount of flaming that goes on between Devs here, and the serious tendency among users to view things like Mods and Kernels as an 'Us vs Them" issue. I can understand dissing Apple fanbois (boo hiss), but other Android modders?

It seems that all the kernels and mods I have read about (and even tried a few kernels with bated breath) build upon one another, as devs learn from each other and push the envelope. This is how a community is supposed to work. Each kernel and mod has its fans, and certain traits that make it great for some, but not as good for others...but all are part of the same intellectual ecosystem. They all spring from the same source.

Thus far I have used OCLF, then Speedmod, then SOK and now Damien's Ultimate Kernel. In the course of that I have used Ext2, Ext4, and now Ext2 with Loops for lagfix. I have found all the kernels to be good and stable, head and shoulders above the stock. For me, I think I prefer the crazy speed from Ext 2 with loops right now, but I can see how that could be a bit more dangerous, and understand the people who go for more conservative approaches. I would love to see all sides of the argument post more proof as to which lag fixes are fastest, or at least a wider body of statistics so that we could all better choose the one that is best for us...but such things are in the end VERY subjective. What really matters is the system that FEELS fastest to you, which may or may not be real.

I have read Damien's entire Ultimate kernel thread (as I was waiting for him to include the Sharpness fix before trying his kernel) and he is passionate and plain-spoken...and yes sometimes he can get rude. However, as an English speaker living in a non-English speaking country, I can tell you all that often times he may not intend to sound as rude as he does, since it is very easy to lose the tone when translating in your own head (you should see what some of my coworkers have written in emails to multi-million dollar clients). However, he does great work, and clearly knows a great deal and has a lot of experience. Sometimes that sort of knowledge can't be proven with stats or graphs, but it does inspire extreme opinions and reactions. We could likely all benefit from easing back the rhetoric and flames a bit, but strong discussions make for stronger conclusions.

Lets all just remember that we are on the same side, and at the end of the day the more high quality options we have for our devices, the better off we all are. No one is right, no one is wrong...but that doesn't mean we can't defend our opinions civilly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rlorange:
@rscheneck

I see we are on the same page. It certainly could seem that Damian could be holding out on sharpness because of rivalry with hardcore since I can't find any reported issues but who am I or anyone else to judge? Maybe people on his level of expertise can comment. Maybe the code is just messy or not efficient in Damian's eyes rather than buggy. Or maybe he just doesn't like it. Point is it's HIS kernel.

And with the heat he seems to get here he sticks around and continues to do his work. You will never go through life liking everyone. And some people have personalities that others react to badly.

I think I understand him a bit better lately both his strengths and weaknesses. He feels passionate about certain things and sticks to his guns. And maybe has a hard time admitting wrong or agreeing to disagree. Others seem intent to find gratitude in pointing this out rather than accepting that's his nature.

If someone disagrees they should be polite about it and I think Damian has realised maybe it hasn't seemed that way and he seems to be learning. I jumped on the band wagon of backlash recently and since realised my error and tried to understand him better. It's just tact in language use, so important with this medium which limits the quality of communication that is possible without face to face talking, body language and tone of voice.

I am trying to this thread into something worthwhile from what started frankly as what appeared to be a poorly written attempt of a developer fan picking a fight with another. This tribal rivalry is human nature but also LAMO! I'm guilty too cos it's natural to fall into but as adults and smart ones at that, we really should try to rise above it. If some people can't or don't want to, we should all try to stay out of it. And if some devs want to have their little boys club rivalry and share only code hacks between them the so be it.

Tone down the rhetoric people, accept the bull**** that will inevitably happen. Politely speak up if rudeness comes up directed at Devs who frankly all deserve respect and let's. Keep pimping our galaxies!

Final group hug with a round of shots!

Well... all I know is this thread made me go to DamianGTO's thread and the fights there were great fun to read :)

PS: Incidentally, I think Damian's interpretation of the GPL is very wrong (he thinks he needs to release the sources only when his kernel goes 'gold'... heh)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DamianGto:
If I'm wrong then Samsung is also wrong. So go figure...

[Galaxy S I9000 General] SamHaLeKe:
DamianGayTO this thread is about YOU

Skip the word ultimate to begin with...

Love your work on Steam :D very nice...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seltaeb:
Samsung provides source for the ROMs they release / distribute, they're not obligated to release source code for leaked ROMs. You, on the other hand, are distributing a derivative work of a GPLed sources and as such are obligated to provide the sources as well. It's all quite simple actually.

PS: Technically you can even make the sources available on demand to whoever downloads the binary and asks for the source. In fact you can even charge for the media you make it available on to such a person -- but in the spirit of free software, a simple download link for the sources is customary.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seltaeb:
No need to be abusive, he's just plain misinformed. Free / open sources licenses can be a bit confusing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DamianGto:
So Samsung can do it but not me?

That's funny.

Btw I always give away the source if asked for it. But if none ask for it then its hard to do.

One other funny thing Is there is many experts here on GPL and they think they can it to 100%. But even the court has problem to know what's right or wrong.

**DamianGTO ultimate kernel v1.1 * 600Hz * 350MB RAM * OC/UV * 1200MHZ**
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seltaeb:
Sigh - let me explain... again. Samsung is compliant with the GPL, unless they have distributed any modified kernels or other GPL-ed components and not provided the source for the same -- are you saying this is the case? Note that leaked ROMs do not count as distribution.

BTW, I don't think anybody is claiming GPL-expertise here but prima facie your interpretation seems to be clearly wrong. Essentially you seem to be of the view that by distributing a software as beta, you can circumvent GPL's requirement to provide the source -- which is a rather unusual interpretation, in my opinion.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DamianGto:
Show me were it say I MUST distribute code that I'm working on when it not finished!

You also know this is not a public place. You must be member here to get the kernels.
