I hate having to switch skins after every reboot to bring back the apps I have moved to the SD card. Anybody else? Hope somebody figures out a permanent fix. TIA
Or, is there already a better way of getting around it?
it sucks that the apps on my sd icons go away. i didnt know switching skins brings them back so thanks for the temp fix but i hope someone knows a better solution. cant figure it out. i thought that maybe root would change it but, it didnt. i hoped that flashing the new viper rom would fix it but, notta. thanks to whoever finds out how to perma fix.

Root gives you admin access to the ROM that's it. If you did revolutionary and just flashed the superuser zip then you are still using the stock rom with administrator aka super user aka root access. The only way S-OFF will fix this is if someone makes a rom that fixes the issue and you flash that.
No fix, Sense isn't caching icons for items on SD.
However, there's a quicker fix than what you're using.
Find and install an app on the market called "Fast Reboot". No, not the fast reboot that HTC has, it's an OS reboot like tool that just reboots all apps and not the OS.

I always use Quickboot (until someone mods the power off menu) and it has a hot reboot option as well. I will try it out next time. Thanks for the tip.

This app doesn't actually "reboot" anything. It really restarts sense and other background apps.
if you go to settings, applications, running service, hit menu and touch "show cached processes then stop htc sense, it will reload all the apps and the icons. a lot easier than using an app to reboot from the market or switching profiles

One click to restart is harder than 4 clicks, scroll, find, stop, etc that you're doing?
I'll stick with my 1 click solution.
Then you do that, cause fast reboot doesn't work for me n my app icons

I am running GB 3.5, and then ADW Launcher 1.3.6 Standalone. I was using the stock MotoBlur/GingerBlur launcher 'home screen' for while I was at work...and the ADWLauncher 'home screen' for all my apps, entertainment, not at work stuff. Whenever I hit the 'home' button, I would have the option of 'ADW.Launcher' or 'Launcher'. Yesterday, the sensitive screen accidentally marked the check box for 'use by default for this action'. Now I am stuck in ADW.Launcher, and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get the original launcher with all my work settings on it to come up. I'm sure it has to be something really simple, but I'm at a loss.
Anyone know how to remove the 'use as default' checkbox so I can get both launchers back?
thanks
settings applications, adw clear defaults should do it

Lol......cos' there's more than enough room on an Atrix. Don't think this one tiny app is gonna put storage over the edge. Also, if you end up trying different launchers, can make changing between much easier. Take a chill pill. A lot of people use it!

Clearing the adw defaults doesn't work at least not for me. If you install any other launcher you need the home switcher app or someone similar to be able to select motoblur again. Or uninstall the other launcher.
Clear Defaults is greyed out for me...says no defaults are set. I will try Home Changer app.
thanks
do you have titanium backup? if so, make sure that when you scroll down to "launcher", it is not frozen. If it is, just click on it and defrost it. then clear defaults and press home. voila!!
I went the 'Home Switcher' route, works well...and I have so much room on the Atrix I'm not worried about space....have 300+ apps right now, still running smoothly. It would be nice if the Home Switcher became part of the 'long-press' search button menu. Is there a way to do that? I know I downloaded an 'AutoRotate Switch' and a few other things that show up there. Does that have to be done on the development side, or can I somehow move Home Switcher to that menu for easy access.
Thanks for ideas, I always come to xda for the best solutions!
EDIT: So I added 'Home Switcher to my drop down notification menu using Bar Control, and am happy with that for now. I'm still curious about how it works getting things to long-press search menu though. Now that I have this quick way to switch Launchers, I'm thinking of adding a few more, like SPB 3D. Whenever I haven't been to the default launcher in a while, it takes a while to load, which leads me to believe it doesn't always stay active eating up resources while not in use. Anyone have any experience having 3 or 4 at the same time, and the impact on performance?

I have TB, so am I understanding correctly...I can freeze whole Launchers (all setup) if I won't need them for a while...and then un-freeeze them when needed...with everything returning as before? I've only frozen a couple things before, just testing it out...never a Launcher though.

This is why I mentioned Home Switcher. I had 5 or 6 launchers at one time, always switching back and forth "playing". I love my toy ........... I mean Atrix, and the launcher bug does bite until you find one or two which you will stick with. So many, and so many ways to customize. I never saw any performance hit with multiple launchers myself.
Hi I do not what happen I was messing with prl because I just activate in my country so suddenly In my lock screen (and after ota update of software) the phone reboot and I have not the dial or telephone icon, just a empty circle.

You need to do the second update. You might have to open HTC watch for it to prompt you or go to system settings and do it manually.

Yeah, go into settings and software update. Choose the HTC one. If it doesn't come right up, keep trying. After the update you might need to reboot the phone as the update won't do it for you. After that you will be golden again!
Mine must be a freak?
I did all the updates (all 4 of them under settings) and battery-pulled many times.
The phone icon is STILL gone. It's freakin' terribly frustrating.
Hello,
If you want to do anyway with the Lockscreen altogether, you can get No Lock in the Android Market for free and it could not be easier to use. You can also easily turn back on the Lockscreen by pressing the Icon.
With No Lock engaged, you have to do is press the Volume Button or any other Button to get the unlocked Screens. The Screen goes out in the same time as whatever you set the time to be.
Cheers,
JJ

Howdy all,
This might be stupid of me, but i will ask anyway...
I have my Razr running ICS with Go Launcher
Everytime i go into the app drawer, and tap "Running", I find all these apps that i haven't even opened. I tap the little broom to close all apps (Which it does) then exit out. A couple of minutes later, even after not opening anything, i go back and there are all these apps running again that i don't use.
My questions are...
1) Why are these apps popping up???
2) Is there a way to stop it from happening again???
I feel that it would be draining my battery having all these apps running in the background, which as you could imagine would be fairly annoying lol
If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated
Thank you in advance
:good:
Android always runs apps in the background and from what I understand some may be for a feature you do not use but there are required processes for the system to function.
What you can do is go into settings, applications, all, and things you do not use you can uninstall updates and then disable them.
I got rid of a bunch of background apps that way.

or get rom toolbox and use the auto start manager to choose which applications will start in the background during boot. but do this with caution as it can cause you to have a boot loop if you accidentally disable a system required file from being loaded

Do you need to be rooted to use Rom Toolbox???
yes
That's Android for ya lol. You can also root the phone and delete certain apps you don't want. Titanium Back Up is good. If you do this make sure you check the thread of bloat that's OK to remove. Some apps need to be on the phone. And if you do root your phone and flash roms most roms already remove unnecessary apps.

I noticed this early on and it was annoying me a lot. Especially as it was slowing the whole system down, when it was sat at 91% of memory being used. So I've turned off background processes in the developers options in the settings menu. Not sure if thats available unrooted, but I've got that option now. Now it sits at 78%.
I don't have Go Launcher, did use it with GB, but I've got the power meter and the memory status bar.

Want to use a custom kernel?
This ROM is now using 2.04 base, which means you would need to use a kernel that has been updated for 2.04. If you use a kernel that uses the 1.15 base you will see screen flicker.
Can I hide the horizontal quick settings?
Yes, just click on the date in the notification pulldown.
How do I access the vertical quick settings?
Tap the button next to the normal settings button in the notification pulldown.

Use APN tweaker that is included in the Rom and just follow the steps. Once you are done, you can uninstall tweaker.

Has anyone else had issues with facebook app instability (whenever I go to search for something, the screen turns white, then returns to wherever I was before I tried searching for something, continues to happen even after re-install of app, etc) or quirky behavior in the default web browser (Reddit in particular, when I go to some screens, the screen gets squished/compressed from the sides, and instead of elements appearing next to each other horizontally, they are stacked vertically instead. Would take a screenshot of that though Im not sure how to take them on this rom)

I have the same issue.
I found a funny (to me) quirk in the system. If you have hotspot turned on, the camera flash won't work. It seems to be "officially" the way it works, since it even gives a message that the flash is unavailable while hotspot is turned on. How in the heck are these two things related?
Not an issue at all and, I believe, not specific to this ROM - just a funny observation.

I just cannot get wireless tether to work for some reason. I searched through this thread and tried changing the profile to both wlan0 and Rezound, as well as enable the routing fix. By doing those fixes, I got the "Started with errors" message to go away, but when I try to connect to it from a PC, it never gets an internet connection. Anyone have any ideas?
I just tested and it isn't working for me either (used to use it all the time). Downgraded to an older version and it works fine again with wlan0 and routing fix. Must be the new version in the play store.

I installed the beastmode kernel yesterday and everything was great. Today, battery sucked. Checked betterbatterystats and looked like the phone was staying awake the whole time, even when not in use. I also kept losing service and had to restart numerous times to get it back. Now, when I wake the phone using volume keys or power button, there's like a two second lag. I installed the kernel choosing the default settings. Are the problems I'm experiencing kernel related?

I figured it out, it was Gravity Box, apparently I can't change any buttons or it overrides the long back press to open MW. However in trying to solve one problem I think I created another. At the time I didn't realize GB was causing the problem and I wanted to have my settings to go back to default, my ROM dev recommended a dirty flash. My MW issue has been resolved but now Xposed seems like it doesn't have full root access. Root works for everything else, and a lot of Xposed features are working, but certain things (write to SD, GB's Smart Radio, GB's Status Bar icon color change to name a few) won't work/changes don't stick. The GB options are greyed out even after clicking On. I've tried uninstalling SuperSU updated and reinstalling, and fully uninstalling/reinstalling Xposed but nothing has worked so far. Any suggestions?
