Just re add the widget?
that's what i thought too, but it's not in the widget list......i went back and did everything all over again, got what i was looking for. but as soon as i reboot, it says "problem loading widget" so i remove that, go to add widget and boom, not there. i attached a pic of what i had. but, like i said, once i reboot, it's gone
reinstall pandora possibly may help
If your on a Froyo rom the app needs to be stored on your phones internal memory. If the app is in the sd card the widget will dissapear from the home screen and the long press menu.
Unistall the app.
Go to settings cyanigen mod settings
Select applications
Select automatic instead of external
Thus the way the widget apps go to internal memory and will be there when you reboot.
Download the app again and you shoul be good.

Does anyone know how to restore the Library Icon to the Apps Manager? It was there at one time, but now it's gone and I can't figure how to get a link to my Library back on my main screen. BTW, I'm using Go Launcher. I thought maybe I could hold down and select shortcut on the main screen, but when I try to create a shortcut, all I get is a blank screen that lets me do nothing.

You should add to Home Screen using Application instead of Shortcut. Alternatively, you can access the App drawer, and long press on the Library Icon, then drag to bottom of the screen, and then drag to whichever home screen you want to add the Icon to. If the Icon doesn't appear in the app drawer, you may have to reinstall the app. If that is the case, let me know and I can try to post up the Library APK.
It's not appearing in the app drawer and I'm sure it used to be there. I also checked to make sure it wasn't hidden. I went into the system/app folder and found the library.apk there and reinstalled it. It still doesn't appear in the app drawer. I guess it's no big deal, I can always hit the N and bring up the library there.
It's really not as big a deal as the default reader that goes back to the cover every time I go back to a book I'm reading.
I noticed the same thing with the disappearing icons after the update to 1.4.1. I'm currently un-rooted, but using Go Launcher. I sideload apps usding adb through my computer.
My family has three NT's. I noticed that after taking the 1.4.1 update that several of the icon pictures were changed from the BN default to some generic android icon. I can't remember all of them, but they were the ones you see when you press your N button. Like the Library, Web Browser, and Shop. One one of my tablets I just replaced the icon image with something better looking using Go Launcher's replace. On another tablet my daughter accidently deleted the Web icon. When I went to get it back, that's when I noticed the same thing as you. That those icons were no longer in the app drawer so that I could add them on the desktop. They were definitely there before the update. In fact, one of my tablets I've kept from taking the update and they are definitely there. I goofed around and searched all I could in ES File Explorer, but couldn't find where they went on the tablets with the update. I did find the APK files, like you, but didn't reinstall to see what would happen.
Like you said, not a big deal since you can still get there from the N button, but some of the icons I like on the desktop. We ended up deleting all of the icons on my daughters tablet that you find on the N button, but there is no way to get them back unlesss someone here can enlighten this noob.
Have a look at the photo below. My SGS2 always does this on startup. Anyone else seen this on theirs?
Is your home button is sticky? I've never seen this happen except when I hold down the home button.

No it is all working perfectly. By the way I am not referring to the Task Manager coming up but to the dock buttons changing icon/app.
Might be something to do with the phone scanning the SD Card on start up for icon images, if you've set a custom icon for the apps in the dock.
Try to install everything again, maybe work.

Oh, actually that happens every time I boot as well but it always corrects itself within 30 seconds or so.

Well that looks like stock touchwiz, so the icons can't be custom.
If what you mean is that he may have set custom apps then you might be right. If the apps that were wet are on SD, they might not be available when booting so it will pick some random ones.

Phone is completely stock. Usual "Phone", Contacts", "Messaging" and "applications" icons appear after about 30 seconds as is said above. None of these are on the SD card. It just strikes me as odd that they change and always to the same apps.
I also have the same issue, noticed it started happening only after I put exDialer and exContacts previously before reverting to stock Phone and Contacts. Haven't found a solution.
The home, back arrow, menu soft buttons vanished along bottom of screen. How do I get them back? I tried the show hide funtions under launcher functions but no joy. This is the default sd cm7 with the gray green android on home page. I am sure its an operator error. Thanks in advance
Are you sure the status bar did not force close? That would be my first thought.
If not, what launcher are you using? The default ADW?

I did get a force close on esfile manager just prior to that and. I did notice the bar was gone at that point. I powered off restarted, buttons reappeared. I think that might have been my first or second force closeinseveral months and yes it is ADW default. I would like to go to theCM9 with CM7 sd but I will wait a while.
All the Best

Glad you got it figured out. The reboot usually does the trick for little did like that.
Also, if you're interested, you can run CM9 off a microSD card. Let me know if you are and I can find the link to directions.
Hello, I installed the app after receiving my beta key and I have to say this is the best app I have installed yet. I'm just having a few issues. The first is that whenever I set the weather widget to display the temperature in celcius is always changes back to fahrenheit after a few minutes. Secondly sometimes, not always whenever I reboot my phone no widgets will load so I have to reapply the theme. These aren't big problems and I know the app is still in beta, so these are bound to get fixed. Just wondering if there is anyway to fix them.
Thanks:fingers-crossed:
I can't even get the weather working, I did set up my location on the widget settings but it shows nothing at all.
Same goes for me. I think Ill wait for the next update.
Try saving as widget after finish changing. Auto save seems not working properly.

Im having some refresh issue's.
Using the calendar widget, it shows todays date, however Ive noticed it hasnt updated today, and still shows todays date as yesterdays
Also, using the missed calls, unread text etc, I replied to a text, and the counter stayed at 1. it eventually went to 0, not sure when, but I was using my phone for a good 30 mins or so, and the counter never changed.
The weather thing isn't that big of an issue, but the widgets disappearing after reboot is really annoying. I have a Nexus 4 and after reboot it asks me if I want to allow themer to create widgets. Even If I choose allow it will never create them again, so I have to reapply the theme.

In an upcoming version (very soon) we have put the weather temperature setting within the main Settings of the app, so that issue will be resolved.
Widgets
Widgets dissapearing for me also on a reboot, I dont want to re-apply the theme as a workaround, as I have made changes, and if I apply the theme again, I assume it will overwrite my changes with the default theme I am going to apply again?
I have a Lenovo P780 dual sim since 1 month, bought on Amazon Germany, but shipped from China.
Have rooted it and added many other apps and deleted them when I didn't like them. I use the Apex Launcher. It has been perfect up until today. I wanted to move new app icons into the dock area underneath the normal home screens. I bought the Pro version of Apex Launcher because I thought the added functionality would allow me to do this. Whether or not this upgrade is the source of my present problems, I do not know.
The problem I now have is that once I unlock the screen, the normal home screen is now blank. If someone calls me the phone app lights up and I can pick-up and talk normally, later check my contacts, see the call and text logs. After the call, pushing the "Home" button briefly no longer works to bring back the home screen. Pushing the "Home" button for a couple of seconds brings up the running apps and lets me close it, then when returning to the "home" screen its blank.
Swiping down from the top allows me to seeing the settings buttons such as WiFi etc as it was before. I can click on the "Settings" icon to open the settings, but if I try to change the "theme" the app responds every time that it has stopped working.... Swiping back up returns the blank screen.
HELP please !!!

Sorry Stumpy, but I cannot use your advice. Since I cannot see my home screens, I cannot launch any apps. When I power on my phone I have no access to any apps. However if an email arrives, the GMail email app starts and I can then read and send emails. If I receive a telephone call, the native phone/contact/messages app starts and then I can also use these apps. But I cannot start or see any of the other installed apps, unless it has been prompted to start from outside my phone.
I have backed up all data and applications to my SD card using Titanium Backup before this problem started. I have reset the phone using the internal red button, used the settings menu to restore the data and apps, but nothing helps. I can change the Wallpaper using the Settings icon I can see when I swipe down from the top of the phone but when I try to change the Theme, the Settings app responds with "Unfortunately System UI has stopped". (This always happened since the phone was new - so I then downloaded Apex Launcher to go around this problem)

Hi Stumpy
I managed to get my phone back!
I used my desktop computer to send myself an email with a link to another launcher (Go Launcher). When the email arrived on my phone I could then click on the link which gave me the chance to open the link using Google Play and then install the new launcher. Once the new launcher was installed, I could see everything again, except that I then needed to put all the apps back in the right places. Wow am I happy !!
Thanks for your time and trying to help me!!

I am glad that you manage to resolve the problem. Be carefull next time when you spend money on apps. Try free versions first time and install custom recovery for your phone. They are the best thing for backup.
