Currently running GingerShedBread v 1.6. Great work on this ROM. However, a few things that I noticed with this ROM:
1. Lockscreen - If I disable the lockscreen, then later re-enable it, the lockscreen never shows up again unless I reboot. I like to disable it while at home and what not, but I want a lockscreen on while I am at work because I often leave my phone docked on my desk, but I don't want someone snooping around on it while I am off doing other things.
2. News & Weather widget - I often get the message "Sorry, news currently unavailable" in the News and Weather Widget. If I tap on the widget, the news will load and show up in the widget again, but after a while I will get the same message again.
Great work to all the developers involved in making Froyo and Gingerbread on the Droid Eris possible. They have definitely extend the life of the Eris.
1.) Sorry, don't know.
2.) Do you have it to auto refresh in the app settings?

Has this been resolved or.......................... ?
Thanks.
I forgot News had a refresh setting. Seems to be working now.
Now if I can figure out the lockscreen issue.

I love the stock news and weather widget from AOSP(genie widget), but it sometimes doesn't work right. I have it set to refresh every hour, but it rarely does. When I manually refresh it the location is almost always off, on the second refresh the location does update. Anyone else see these problems? I'm using CM7 nightlies on an Incredible. It may be an incredible thing, I'm not sure because it seemed to work better on my Eris.
I know everyone will recommend their favorite weather widget, but honestly I've tried a lot(including wasting money on beautiful widgets) and never found one I liked. If there is one that can give me news, automatic location updates, a temp graph(the hardest part), transparent widget and doesn't kill the battery I would love it.
thanks,
I have an Inspire 4G and I'm having the same issue. I also like this widget a lot, but unless I have it set to 1 hour refresh, the weather doesn't update. I have tried Minimalistic Text and it's great, but it does not have the temperature graphs like you're looking for.
Thanks for the response, at least I'm not alone.

Hey guys,
I installed launcher pro on my phone and use it as my preferred launcher. However, even when the settings under dock are checked, I don't get a number letting me know I have a new text message over the icon in the dock. Is anyone else having this problem? If so, have you found a solution or is this something the developer has to fix? Thanks for the help

Just installed LP and the dock notifications are not working.
I've got LauncherPro (Plus) on my GS2 and the notification icon is working for the text messages. I don't use the missed phone or gmail notifications. I also changed my dock shortcuts to the stock shortcuts and stock icons. I don't know if that makes a difference or not. I also use Handcent as my default messaging application and turn off notification bar notices for all but a few close contacts (daughter, hubby, etc.).
LPP is my default home app...
When I was using LPP (with custom icons), my notifications for all three stopped working after a while. I switched to Go Launcher EX with notifications, and they didn't work either. It's pretty damn annoying.
It was originally working for me as well. I read somewhere that Google had patched Gmail for security reasons but I forgot to disable updates on Gmail ... so I think when I did the mass app updates in Market that it broke it like it did last time on my HTC aria. I'm assuming we need the original apk now but I have a feeling we're screwed ... I don't want to revert to my cwm backup since I did so much tweaking since then but it may be the only way to get email notification to work again.

Okay I restored my stock rooted backup in cwm and almost immediately market tried downloading Gmail updates. I killed my data connection before it finished downloading and cleared market cache and data. I froze Gmail and started the market with data connection again ... so far I still have notification in Launcher Pro but who knows if there's a way to disable Gmail app updates in the future?

Guys I've purchased a New S3, and what I've noticed is that the stock default clock widget doesnt refresh automatically on unlock. So there is always a difference in the notification bar time and the widget time. Only when I click on the widget it updates after opening alarm. What the hell is wrong with my phone?:crying::crying::crying::crying:
Are you using a task killer? If so, ignore it in the task killer.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
i have the same problem , no task killer
stock rom , siyah kernel
It used to work i don't know what happened i didn't change anything
Same. Didnt change anything. also no taskkiller installed...persistant issue.
Same issue here and I've tried Go Launcher/Apex with Beautiful Widget/Fancy Widget/Beweather Pro.
An unbelievable phone (knocks spots off of anything I've ever had) yet it can't tell the bloody time properly - really annoying!!!!
A quick fix is put it in landscape to redraw/refresh the screen to update the clock when I've brought the phone out of sleep. Not ideal, but at least the clock is updated. Maybe the JB update will fix this issue? Who knows!
The only widget I can get to work properly is the native weather clock. I don't want such a big widget so I've tried several different other clock widgets and they won't keep the correct time. I wish someone would find out what the problem is. I like the clocks in Beautiful Widgets, but they won't update.
Hope I don't get shot for this, however, I am in need of some advice to help me get iPhone style notifications on stock sense Rom. For example, right now I can only get notifications from the android mail app but not Google mail app or my touchdown mail app. my text messages do show up, but I can't make it show the name of sender but hide content. It either hides both or none. Phone is rooted, is there any program that lets me do this without removing the stock Rom? If I have to flash a other Rom to get this level of customization, which Rom and subsequent mod would you suggest. This is the only thing I don't like about this phone.

There's a lot of lock screen apps but i don't think they have shortcuts like that. Also they don't usually work well.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Those lockscreen apps tend to drain battery too.

Yes, exactly. I couldnt find one that just works and works well.

I use to use widget locker. I never really noticed it killing my battery.
Hello i am having a REALLY hard time setting up my new rom (foxhound 2.7 on my i9300).
Here is the deal: i like samsung's stock widgets. I like the flashlight and i like the turn off all sounds. But on the launcher i want to use for the rest of my (phone's) life, doesn't see them. In fact there are some launchers that do not see all system widgets.
These widgets i speak of are built in my rom, so please don't mention touchwiz, it has nothing to do with this and i CAN apply these widgets to holo launcher hd (for example) and others.
There are many workaorunds for the flashlight widget, and i can learn to live without all other stock widgets of samsung. But i have never found a better "turn off all sounds" feature than samsungs widget. Now i assume i could send a report to go launcher ex dev team and wait forever for them to not fix this problem, or i could find a solution.
What i need is the experience of you guys, please: i need to find a widget that can link to other existing ones in the phone and act as them, and hopefully go launcher ex will allow me to use this widget.
I do not intend to change launcher, but if anyone can offer a VALID alternative to that launcher (it doesn't just lower all sounds to 0, it completely disables the phone sound output. THIS is what i'm looking for, hopefully in a widget but even if not it's fine).
Many app out there claim to be able to mute all sounds, but not as efficiently as this samsung stock widget, please help:banghead:

Just to give you an option: you could create a Tasker task and widget button to turn off all sounds.
Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013)
Thanks. I know i could probably figure out how to do this some way, but tasker is a very detailed app, if you already know how to do this would you mind giving me guided steps?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Alright i got some 2 raw widgets working, but no matter what action i choose with tasker (in the sound section) i do not get the turn off all sounds effect just like in the samsung widget.
???
And i didnt find any option to enable another widget....any help?
