I am running BAMF Sense 3.0 RC3 (Imo's leanKernel running at Extreme with MR2), and I use WidgetLocker. Quite often, I will go to unlock my touch screen and my touching capabilities are not working - I can slide my slider, or do anything. I can hold down the power button to come up with the shutdown/restart options, but I cannot touch them to make it work. Sometimes if I wait a while it works again, or if I get another message/e-mail, but one time I had to pull the battery! I am not sure if this is a known issue or if maybe this is something with WidgetLocker, but does anyone know what I can do to fix this or have any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Bump - anyone else have this problem? Is it WidgetLocker, and maybe I need to make it no longer use RootHelper or something? When this happens (it currently is), only the power button works - all others do no effect, although they make a vibrate noise when pressed as if there are. After 10 minutes it will work again...)
Just a thought... Bump your min cpu setting to 368 and see if that helps.

Thanks, I did not think of that - I will change from Extreme to Normal (since Extreme undervolts it) and I will give that a try. Any other suggestions in case that does not work?
That's all I know man. I bet its a setting issue on the kernel.

You could always try switching to dream kernel 2.3.0 or 2.3.2, which are updated versions of the sense 3.0 stock kernel from das bamf. But I'm guessing that your min cpu setting is too low, especially if its undervolted. I have lag setting it to 245/368 with screen off, but its just laggy.
I tried changing settings on Imo's kernel, still no avail. His kernel gives me great battery life so I am trying to not switch to a different one; I was looking in Das BAMF toolkit and originally I had Sense Lock Screen off, which is when the lock screen froze, and when I turned it back on, I still had the lock screen froze but now sometimes the Sense one came into view, frozen. And by frozen, I mean the touch screen doesn't work - I can wake on with the volume keys and power button, but none of the bottom buttons work too. I am baffled... What could cause this?

No idea, but the easiest solution is likely to wipe and flash again. For other lockscreen issues this has been the most successful solution.

Yeah, I was thinking about this... Considering I have Bamf 3.0 RC3, might just wipe and get RC4. I will let you guys know how I make out! Thanks for the suggestions!
Off topic question though... How do I edit the Swype dictionary?

Don't forget to check out the preview of the rc5. It can be found on teambamf dot net. It is like rc4 but is very nice, especially with the new radio.

And as for swype, I think in options, by hitting that button on bottom right or through settings, there's a way to reset or tell it to not remember, but no way to edit I don't believe. There's a way to get it to ignore some words but its been so long I've forgotten.

Has anyone else had this issue with auto rotate? Using the community rom obviously. Another issue I have been having with it is going in and out of airplane mode, more often than not it won't pick up signal again and requires a reboot. Which is no where near as annoying compared to the auto rotate (yes I tried disabling it on both the pull down and in the settings -> display menu).

the next version of community rom (1.3) will have a version of the rotating launcher2 that can be enabled by the power control toggles....the newest tsm/psykdup mods enable this, but the launcher had to be edited accordingly
so hold on a *little* bit longer
Good to know im also having this problem and it really sucks but I guess its better than problems that come with ota froyo

My app drawer button is non-functional ish. The app drawer button doesn't always select in the green tone to show it's been activated. I know the screen recognizes it's being pressed because the full-screen weather animations stop once I press the screen but the rosie button doesn't... go. I tried resetting HTC Sense, no go. I don't know what's wrong.
Anyone else got this issue?

I've never had that happen. Are you using the stock HTC skin, or are you using one of the themed skins? Just curious on that. If you're not using the stock one, perhaps try switching back to the stock skin? A battery pull maybe? Sorry I don't have a better suggestion for you.

Well you can try rebooting the phone and removing the battery for a few seconds, but I'm going to assume you have done that already.
Second would probably be a hard reset, which I guarantee to fix your problem since it seems to be some sort of software hiccup.

EDIT : Get a drawing app and see if you can draw in the bottom left corner. If you can't, then you have a problem with the digitizer not registering in that area.

Okay I will try the drawing app, and yeah I've pulled the battery to no avail. I'll try the app, then just see if it works itself out.

On the same note. Is there a way to change what is launched when you tap the button?

I don't believe that's possible without full root. It is definitely possible to remap the rosie buttons, but I don't think we can until we get S-off. (could be wrong, because there's a ton of talented devs here, but I dont think so)
Someone (literally just forgot who) is trying to repackage all of Rosie itself so it can be installed as an apk with a ton of mods, but again, I can't remember who.
Oh also, the button is now fully functional. Just kind of started working randomly, but oh well! That works for me.
Is there a way to make the home button respond instantly?
Does anyone else have this problem?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
It has something to do with the Voice control samsung built into the phone, people were saying you can freeze/ delete the app and your home button will be instant, i can personally vouch for this because I'm using CM7, a rom that doesn't have the voice control and my home button actually is instant.
it something to do with the processor and power management.
The delay is present in CM too but not as bad

I thought that had to do with the wakeup "lag" i.e. just waking the phone up from sleep, if you are talking about that yes its present in CM as well. I thought he was asking about home button when exiting out of apps and such, as i noticed a slight delay in that when i was using the stock rom.
I've froze voice commands with Bloat Freezer and this hasn't made any difference :/
Since KG1 firmware, home button lag has been solved. Home button acts normal now.
The OP hasn't explained what his problem actually is, so there's no point telling him to freeze apps!
@jameslfc5
Do you mean it takes a couple of seconds when the screen is off and you wake the phone with the home button, or do you mean it pauses when you're running an app and you press home to go back to your home screen?

It responds instantly when connected to a charger. So it must be software related. I haven't found any 2.3.3. or 2.3.4 ROMs that remove the lag entirely. I'm sure someone will figure it out though.
When connected to charger the phone does not sleep. So no lag.
I have same problem as OP.
Note - it's not the wake-up delay, which is also annoying. It's the regular "go back to home screen" delay when using the phone.
I'm running Cognition 1.31, and problem was present on Stock ROM, VillainROM, Cognition 1.15 and 1.31.
I had voice control only on Stock ROM, and don't have it now - no difference. Delay is about 0.5-1 second.
Super annoying. Makes it feel slow. Was not present on any of the SGS ROMs.
+1
I just think of an iPhone... it's better in only this thing
CM7 fixes it. I think I know what you mean, I had it in Cognition 1.31 and litee'ning rom. Now I don't or don't even notice it.

Hi guys,
I am currently on Checkrom v4 with darky kernel. Most of the time, when i open the phone from a sleep state or screen of state, the screen will not respond to unlock gesture. I have to turn the unit off for at least 2 times before the screen would eventually respond. Sometimes, when turn it of again, the will just turn black but with button lights open. Then after i turn it off again, the screen will eventually light up and respond.
I also have experience this with other samsung roms such as criskelo, batista which is why i always flash back to Cm7 wherein I don't experience this. BTW, i also dont seem to remember experiencing this on CM9... your thoughts would be appreciated... TIA
yeah buddie.i am facing the excact the same problem.............

Maybe it's kernel related?

This used to happen to me when I had a screen off profile enabled on SetCPU. If you're using SetCPU, try disabling it to see if that solves the problem.
I think i've found out what's causing this... it's the touch screen tune app... after.I removed this, it seems to be not freezing upon wake up of the device... HTH

What govenor are you using?
I'm new to the SGS2. Coming from my old SGS1 running ICS I couldnt go back to gingerbread.
Leaked ICS on SGS2= No custom kernels BUT!...
With root access and NS tools app you can tweak stock "Ondemand" govenor. Its at 100000micro seconds which is 10th of a second stock sampling rate. This is SLOW. Couple with waking from sleep and known On-demand delay issues I think this might be the culprit... Cant wait for sources
I've noticed that sometime if I'm I'm an app and I push the home button it almost instantly brings me back to my home screen and other times it has a slight half second delay. For example it will be super fast maybe 10x in a row, then it will have a slight delay but eventually gets quick again.

I experience this every now and then, usually with resource-hungry apps. Not to pretend like I know what I'm talking about (because I don't), but it might also have something to do with redraws on the launcher.

I should mention that I also have aggressive desktop checked on nova launcher. Not sure what it does though. Maybe the next time I notice this slight delay bill restart nova launcher and if it goes away I guess I'll know it's a nova launcher issue which in sure the next update will fix.

If you have S-Voice activated on your phone the S4 will wait about a half a second after you press the home button to see whether or not you press it again to activate S-Voice. If you disable this, it will immediately go to the home screen after pressing the home button. It is not lag, but rather a built in timer.

I have had this happen a few times . I've been running the CM nightlies and just thought it was something to do with the build.
I turned my kernel to stock settings (I was overclocked) to try to replicate your problem and I guess now that I am consciously thinking about it I have it too, I don't think its a huge deal though. A quarter of a second isn't that bad to me so I don't really care. If I'm overclocked it the animation is instant. It could be the ap switcher animation that lags under high resources. Try disabling that? or OC your phone.

In your developer settings, select animator duration scale and turn it to 'off' see if that helps. If not, then there isn't alot you can do unrooted I don't believe.

Well I've spent hours trying to figure this out. When I have 0 apps running, and for example I open up the phone app or contacts app, then hit the home button, it responds instantly. However, sometimes once I get a bunch of apps running in the background the home button response can slow to like half a second, almost as if that s voice home button feature was enabled. Do you think the problem here could be that a bunch of apps aren't yet optimized for the s4 so when they are running in the background they are causing some home button lag?
