I'm having some issues with the Pure Messenger Widget on my Legend.
It sometimes hangs for unknown reasons when you open a message from the list, but once the android popup notification comes up and asks you to send a note to the developer or kill the process it will return to normal state.
Sometimes I even experience it freezing the whole telephone when just looking at the scrollable widget.
Has anyone else experienced similar problems?
In my case it does not always hang, but at least in 30% of the time it takes very long for the widget to react on any action taken.
My Specs:
CM 6, ADW Launcher, Pure messenger widget scrollable 4x4
Didn't change anything CPU-wise from default CyanogenMod install.
Yep I did on CM6.1 and on CM7.

Is that a problem with CM or the ADW Launcher or is it hardware-related (e.g. Legend doesn't have enough power to run that widget smoothly)
Anyone else wanting to share experiences with that widget?
It could be either cm or adw problem. Definitly not a hardware problem. If you still have it installed,you could try to get a logcat,and see if it tells you,where is the problem.

I'm using Pure Messenger with blaY0 ROM + ADW Launcher and don't experience any problems.
cheers,

I ran logcat and monitored a few times what is happening when the widget is getting really slow.
Noticed it is working just fine as long as you switch between entries from facebook twitter and GMAIL application, but gets horribly slow when it needs to read an entry from the k9 for pure application.
It looks like k9 for pure will always provide the last 10 or 20 messages in full text instead of providing only the single message that you want to display.
(At least in logcat all the html code for the last 10 or so emails from the account is being displayed)
Really hanging seems to occur when you have multiple messages from k9 for pure in a row and hit the next button multiple times.
Ex.:
Message1: Facebook Post
Message2: K9 Mail
Mesaage3: K9 Mail
Message4: Twitter message
When you open Message 1 and hit the next button 3 times, the widget will first read 10 messages from k9 then another 10 (maybe the same) and if that takes too long (most likely it will) it catches a timeout exception and displays the hanging dialog and the Twitter message you wanted to reach.
The only problem I'm having is not being able to display contact's pictures. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to, but I just get the default icon for every contact in the widget. Not the worst problem in the world, I can live with it but I'd like to fix it
Hi,
I am the Pure widget dev.
Is this problem solved ?

So I've noticed this issue with a few different ROMs I've flashed (TeslaCoil, Das BAMF, VirusAirborne) that when I open the phone application and begin typing a number it does not automatically begin searching/displaying contacts until I backspace out all of the characters that I've entered. Once the characters have been cleared the usual (recents, favorites, etc) show up. Not sure where this small gap in referencing comes from but was looking to resolve it..
I'm not positive but I think that some of those roms utilize Launcher Pro, and that has been a Launcher Pro bug since the Thunderbolt came out. I am using a stock rom, but since I am using Launcher Pro, the same thing happens to me.
clearly i did a horrible job of searching because it's been remedied thanks to this thread/post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12670449&postcount=3
'Note: there seems to be a little bug with all 3rd party launchers where if you you hit the phone button and the dialer pops up, the contact list is blank and the smart dial does not work. To remedy this long press phone, select a new application and restart Launcher Pro then add the phone back, you may also have to open up the dialer and try to dial a few numbers and delete them and the contacts should appear. Not really sure why this happens. '
reassigning the phone application shortcut in the launcher pro dock got it up and working.
mod close plz!
Hey guys!
I didn't know where to put this else than here, so if this isn't the right category please move mods.
So I use Handcent SMS (free edition) because the stock SMS app doesn't have security features like pattern lock for the inbox etc.
But here also is the problem in the benefit of this.
You can easily bypass the security feature of Handcent SMS, at least I can on my SGS2 with CF-Root Kernel.
Is this reproducable on other phones aswell?
Heres the trick:
Install Handcent and set up pattern lock (I think it will also work on numeric lock).
Close the app, now if you use the widget or the program icon on the homescreen you will land on the lockscreen.. ok, this works.
Enter your code and click back till Handcent is closed again.
Press and hold home button to see recent used apps, there you will see handcent.. click it,.. and... wtf? NO LOCKSCREEN?
I mailed the developers about this issue, but still no answer whats-o-ever..
Is there any possibility to fix this bug?
Or does this bug only occur on my phone?
I'm about to change to GO SMS because there this issue doesn't seem to appear.

Greetings friends,
[Q] Is it possible to have my RSS feed or my calender, say upcoming events, displayed on the lock-screen?
You don't have to read below this line. Appreciate your help, thanks.
Now before you judge this redundant, I would like to inform you that I've already done some research and already tried a couple of options, namely an app called "lock-screen calender" and a number of lock-screen replacement apps. I've encountered some difficulties on a number of them and maybe even discovered a flaw or two in some apps. For instance, I've found that on my device (GSMRAZR:2.3.6 stock rooted) every time I hit the home button soft key while on Go launcher's lock-screen, it takes me straight away to my home-screen, bypassing the pin security option of the Go launcher lock-screen itself!!
I intend to write to the developers of that app about it after I receive confirmation from other GSM RAZR users, you know just to be sure it's not just me.
Widget Locker on Play Store.
thank you but
Thank you for suggesting widget locker. I've seen this app but have been reluctant to try it since I've heard complaints of battery drain among other things. I will give it a try, eventually, but would like to know your experience with this app and if there is any other options. Say a mod to the original RAZR lock screen, which I am really keen on.
Battery drain *is* a problem. 12-15% in my case.
You can also try Go Locker and create your own theme.
Hello guys, first some informations:
Device: Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300
Rom: Carbon-rom nightly 21.10.2013 (Android 4.3.1)
Kernel: Boeffla CM 2.0-beta2
Launcher: Aviate
Keyboard: SwiftKey
Main problem:
Launcher seems to be restarting by clicking home button sometimes(Loading very slowly), even tested with sslauncher and its feature "keep in memory".
So thats not the bad part, the bad part for me is that Hardware buttons(back and menu) sometimes just dont work, i can feel the vibration and LEDs are lighting but nothing happens. This happens most in apps like Google Chrome, Whatsapp+, Galerie and a couple of other applications. I recognized that while there are no action by clicking this button in the application, there is an action when drop down menu is dropped down and clicking the back-button make the drop down menu disappear, but in the current application still nothing happens.
Besides that sometimes Keyboard just disappears and it takes about several seconds up to 1 minute to appear again, mostly i disappears a couple of times in the same minute. This happens in almost all applications when i want to use the keyboard, Whatsapp+, Google Chrome, Email, Gmail, SMS...
First i was ProBAM rom user, when it happens there i thought it was rom related, so i had contact with the developer and he said it is CM related but should be fixed in next version, but it didnt.
Now i am on Carbon-rom and have the same thing.. I tried different combinations off apps and settings like Standard-kernel in rom, sslauncher, Trebuchet launcher, Standard-rom launcher, Android keyboard Standard-rom keyboard,,, but its always the same.
So since i am not able to use the phone "normal" i decided to create a thread, i dont want to go back to Android 4.2 so i hope someone can help me with this.
I have six catlog-logs, the first four attached here are from ProBAM rom and the last two(and the newest two) linked from dropbox from Carbon-rom nightly built 21.10.20103, may someone can take a look into it and find if something is wrong...
https://www.dropbox.com/s/aec5svsnvkd6746/2013-10-21-21-25-12.txt
https://www.dropbox.com/s/loqidkem2858w2v/2013-10-21-21-28-04.txt
In the very last logcat(2013-10-21-21-28-04.txt from dropbox) i had massive problems with keyboard and hardware keys, i hope you can see it in there.
Best regards and thanks so far for help

Hey all. Quick question. My Le Max 2 has had a weird issue since I received it. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced the same or knows of a fix.
I have noticed that if I open an app and then swipe it closed using the task manager (recent apps button and swiping it closed) that the app will no longer function until I manually open the app again. 2 examples. The Google clock app. I set an alarm last night and swiped the app closed and this morning my alarm didn't sound. I tested it this morning, and as long as I leave the app running in the background, the alarm will go off. But if I swipe it closed from task manager, it kills the app and the alarm will never sound.
The second example is a little more bothersome. I have noticed that unless I leave my SMS/MMS app running in the background, I will NOT get any text or MMS message at all. I use TEXTRA and as long as it's open and running in the background, I'm good. But if I swipe it closed, I will not receive any text or MMS messages. To be clear, it's not that I'm not notified... it's that the text message or MMS will NEVER come thru if the app is swipe closed. They don't even show up if I open the app after the fact. Ive tested this many times with my kids sending me messages with their phones. So I leave textra open at all times.
Finally, a nitpick, has anyone noticed that changing the font size in the display settings, doesn't reliably change the font size system wide? Example, I use gmail and when I open it the font settings are miniscule, despite me having the font set to extra large in the display settings. However, if I leave gmail open and go to display settings menu and change the font size from extra large to small and then back to extra large again and then I go back to the gmail app, the font size is larger and readable. Kind of annoying.
Thanks!
For your first issue I would recommend you not to close any app and try to lock in the memory the ones that are important like whatsapp, Viber, etc... Assuming that your model has at least 4 GB of RAM, it's useless to close the running apps. This is not windows and it works in a different way. It will take some time to get used to not pressing the "Close All" button, but believe me, it's useless. For the other thing with the font I'm not sure what to say. It might be an EUI bug that should be fixed in the future updates.
Currently I'm running CM13 S19 by Parasite and I never close any app. I'm still trying to convince my wife to change her habit but looks like she's possessed by closing her apps on S6 edge+, also a 4GB of RAM device

Thanks a lot for the reply. Makes sense. Is there a way to "lock" the apps open in memory, or are you just saying to change my habits so that they stay open? Could you explain the method if there is a way? Thanks again.
While in Task Manger (Recents or how you like yo call it, or maybe even "Control Center") swipe down on an app instead of swiping up to close it, and you will see a lock icon on the app in the Task Manager. Then when you'll press by mistake the "Close All", this app will be omitted.

just put cm13 on, imo the official rom is useless

Fantastic. Thanks so much for your help. That's helpful. I don't seem to have a close all button tho. Lol.
