I am running BAMF gingerbread and for some reason, my lockscreen does not appear whenever i wake my phone up. I tried running other gingerbread roms and the same problem happened. I always wipe the phone plus the cache.
Why isn't my lockscreen showing up?
I have kinda that prob when I reboot my CM7 rom while plugged in.

Do you think its a problem with gingerbread roms or just my phone?
You checked all the settings? Tablet tweaks? For cm7 its under tablet tweaks but Idk if your rom has that.
Yes I checked all the settings, nothing about a lockscreen option.
Hmm I will check out some info. You can always download a lockscreen app if it doesn't get resolved.
It works sometimes and then sometimes it doesn't, I don't get it. Thank you for the help man, appreciate it.
Not a problem. I would try booting to recovery and wiping cache. Then reboot. See if that works. You can reflash rom and clear cache/delvik cache if you need. Good luck. Hope it is resolved.
I've wiped all the cache and the data. The last rom I was running had this problem, and the one before that it would sometimes not come up but not as bad as this.
I have no idea what the problem could be.
I realize you said that you wipe data and cache before installing but are you by any chance restoring any system data with TitaniumBackup? Restoring some system related stuff (red or green. I think it's the green Settings Storage one but I haven't looked into it personally.) has been known to cause issues such as the lockscreen, home and search keys not working.

Nope, I don't even have titaniumbackup on my phone.
it is a gingerbread problem,you can either reflash your rom to get it back or use a car dock to unlock it and change your lockscreen the change it back,if it is not there use rootexplorer to copy it from the rom to your system/apps folder set permissions reboot then change it back,just happens that the lock screen disappears never got an answer as to why but that is how I have fixed it everytime

I just flashed the new sc 2.5 and now my LauncherPro app will not let me make any changes that require a restart. It has happened before and i fixed it by deleting /dbdata/databases/com.fede.launcher in root explorer, but it is not working now. Any suggestions?

Hmmm, it's working fine for me. Did you wipe before you flashed sc 2.5? If so, did you try uninstalling LP and then reinstalling it clean?
I wiped cache and dalvik cache, i think it might have something to do with the VA Green theme because it has themed widgets and the apk is in system/app instead of data/app. It will not let me completely remove it because everytime i delete anything to do with it in Root Explorer, it goes right back.
I would restart. Wipe data, not just cache and davlik and let's see if that helps...
I somehow got it working so I'm just gonna leave it for now and not mess anything up.

I wiped everything before installing and then restored my apps with Titanium Backup. Launcher Pro is working perfectly. No theme installed yet.
Same thing happening here. Going to wipe data and see if that solves it.

How exactly are you transferring them to your sd card?

Can you elaborate a little bit on exactly what happens? Do you mean the apps are uninstalled, or that they just don't appear in the launcher right away? Whenever you have apps on the SD, when you first boot it does take a few minutes for them to show up in the app drawer, since the system has to rescan the SD card and make sure everything is still there.
Same thing happened to me today. I'm rooted and was previously running one of the few 2.2 roms compatible with DL09.
In Adryn's new 2.8 thread, he stated that SC2.8 was compatible with DL09, so I decided to give it a try. I restored my apps via TB, making sure to restore "apps only" (no system data). All was well until I rebooted today in an effort to get Voodoo enabled (kept stating "enable on next reboot"). After rebooting, I now have 0 apps in my app drawer.
I re-DL'd Root Explorer to check my app drawer. Sure enough, they're all there... just not viewable or launchable in my app drawer.
I flashed via CWM (red) wiping: cache, dalvik cache, and system wipe before doing any of this, so I'm not sure where I went wrong?
Nevermind... got off easy. A simple reboot fixed my problems!

Hmm ... what launcher are you using? What ROM are you using? Just so I understand ... the icon is just gone, not turned into something different (i.e. a green and white box with an android on it - or something like that)?
If you are using Launcher Pro Plus, I had the same issue. Asks for unlock code, I put it in, says accepted, then forgets that it was input. I asked LP support about this and got this response. "You can solve this issue by using a root explorer and erasing /dbdata/databases/com.fede.launcher
If you are not rooted, a factory reset should work. I would recomend performing a backup prior to the reset."
I erased the file and it worked.
Searched high and low on XDA and Google and could not find anything related to my particular issue. I'm running CM7 RC1 with Gingerbread 2.3.7 It seems like the problem is mostly occurring when I long press a contact to call or message, not when I take the longer route and tap the contact photo to the right on the contact info, then tap the phone icon and select which number to call....However I slightly remember there being a setting in the "CyanogenMod Settings" that stated something like "this setting may cause a lot of FCs" I just can't remember which setting it was... Here is the FC I'm getting:
The application VZ Navigator (process com.vznaigator.DROIDX2) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
"Yes I am a noob to XDA but I have a lot of experience and understanding of flashing roms and what not, been flashing since HTC Dream."
Wipe dalvik cache in recovery.
Thank You!!
Thanks for the reply! I will try that, one question though. During the CM7 Install dragon said to wipe dalvik cache, can't remember when exactly in the install he said to do so but I followed the instructions EXACTLY, since then haven't had any problems whatsoever but this...Anyway, when I boot into recovery it doesn't actually said "dalvik cache" it just says "wipe cache partition". Is that the same thing? Also, I just recently flashed CM7 for the second or 3rd time as I had a problem with my primary gmail password yada yada...so now I have everything set up how I want in and now I'm moving on to Titanium Backup settings and freezing some apps (I am aware of which one I should and should not freeze) but being that I don't even use VZNAVIGATOR wouldn't it be wise to just freeze it? Thanks again so much for your help, wiping cache now....
To wipe dalvik cache go into the advanced section in bsr... Dalvik cache is listed there.

Wiped Cache Partition
So I booted into recovery and wiped the cache partition and rebooted. Everything seemed fine except that my roaming triangle icon was blinking so I connected to my wifi and my service came back. Then I did the *228 thing and updated my roaming capabilities, all is well with the service now. After that before I tried exiting out of my contact/dialer etc. I got the VZNAVIGATOR FC again. Going to try to freeze it in TB. Anymore suggestions would be much appreciated.
Dalvik Cache
Ok got your reply post about Dalvik location, wiping now, thanks again!!!
CM7 Android Recovery
when I open the CM7 Android Recovery app, (I already have it installed) and tap Recovery Mode, the phone shuts off and doesn't boot into recovery mode. So even after I manually power it up and open the CM7 Android Recovery
app and try to install first, then tap recovery mode, it does the same thing...any ideas??
My Apologies...
Sorry for all the questions. I research XDA and found that I need to have it plugged into the A/C. So now I was able to boot into recovery and wipe the Dalvik Cache. Thanks so much again, I will repost if it works.
Problem Solved!!
Thanks for the useful information! Very much appreciated.
Personally I would get rid of VZ Navigation and use Google navigation its much better. That's just my 2 cents!

He wasn't using VZ Navigator, it's just that if you flash over something (in this case the stock rom) without wiping the dalvik cache, there are bits of apps left over that you will see spontaneously force closing.
Went through the install of Moonshine today and ViperDNA 1.3.1. Finished installing all of my programs and started tweaking settings. I'm now getting "Unfortunately, system UI has stopped" messages, and have lost the status bar. I've tried several reboots, but no luck. Is there anything else I can do to get this working again other than another full wipe and reinstall?

I've seen that error when I change the dpi below 400 when using rosie.

You can try a dirty-flash of the same ROM, maybe to reinstall the System-UI apk.. It sounds like there's an error that resulted of a tweak you changed.
Do you remember what tweaks you did?
I remember having this problem when I changed the DPI too much too.
Sent from my DNA using Tapatalk 2
I don't recall doing anything to DPI adjustments. I did add Nova Launcher, but it worked fine for at least an hour or so while I was installing apps.
Anyhow, I tried the dirty flash, but that didn't fix it. I wiped and reinstalled and everything seems to be fine now.
I just managed to crash the system UI again and can't seem to get it to work again after a reboot. I had clicked on venom tweaks, then profiles. I clicked on tweak defaults and then the status bar disappeared and the "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" message came up. Any ideas how to fix this? If it involves a reinstall (again) of the ROM, I think it is going to be time to try something else.
Format system. When I was getting system ui FC I went into recovery and formatted system. Seemed to fix the issue. I've included that step in my flash routine when flashing a new ROM now

System is formatted as part of the ROM install.

There has been two additional posts to the ViperDNA thread in the developer section that ran into the same problem I did by going into tweak deafults. Unfortunately, I have too few posts to be able to add a "me too" reply at this time. One person fixed by doing a TWRP restore, but the only backup I have is of the stock before I installed Viper. Still would like to find a way to fix this without formatting and reinstalling everything a third time.

Format system, wipe cache and dalvik, flash the ROM again (which will again wipe system) then see if it comes up, if not you're good and if it does then its something they set in data which means a tweak file or something is there which should be able to be deleted. If its the latter that's why a factory reset was needed. Its been forever since I run sense or viper but I think they make a directory on the sdcard, good place to look.
Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Carbon
I'm getting the same thing only I'm on CarbonROM. I had just let the phone download all my apps from the market and then after a reboot it greets me with the "System UI has stopped". I think it may be the app settings restoring causing a problem on my end but I'm not sure.
I love what little I've seen of the ROM though lol
Like others have said, wipe everything and try the install again. I got this during my first install of the ROM even though I did a clean wipe, but the 2nd time around it's been fine for me. I've only been using it for a few days though.
Do I need to use the "format data" option in TWRP? I went into the advanced wipe section and selected all of the options in there (twice), then installed the ROM. I skipped setting up accounts and all of the typical new setup options and went straight to quick settings, venom tweaks, profiles, tweaks defaults and system UI crashed again.
From my reading, I didn't see anything to be gained by formatting data, so I've wiped and reinstalled again. Just about have everything setup, then this time I will hurry up and get a good TIbackup and nandroid made before I find a way to break it again
Hello.
Today I decided that I should upgrade my phone and move to Cyanogenmod 11.
So I downloaded everything, followed every step, made a backup with Titanium Backup, and upgraded.
With (almost) no problems, my phone booted with Cyanogenmod.
At first, everything went smooth, I put all my stuff back in the memory while I sit back and enjoy the speed.
But then everything went bad. I found out all my contacts are gone, all my photos are gone, all of my songs are gone, the home button doesn't work, I opened Nova Launcher and suddenly the lockscreen has been disabled.
I can't close apps because the home button doesn't work. The button on the upper left on the notification center doesn't work (although it worked at first), I don't even get notifications.
There is no physical problem with the home button. When the phone is locked, I press the home button and it wakes it up, but it does nothing besides that.
I also can't access my Contacts app, I need to open the Phone app and access them through there.
Also– I can't receive any calls. It seems the phone knows a call has been made, but it sends the caller straight to voice mail and I need to check the missing calls to see if anybody called.
If it helps, whenever I boot the phone there's a tiny exclamation mark on the top left.
Please help.
Well don't know what the problem is but seems like you are running out of RAM... I personally didn't had any problem with any aosp ROM be it cm11 or omni...
Try flashing it again and flash it clean that is do a factory reset then wipe system,preload, cache, dalvik cache..and then install it...
Also avoid using art as your runtime as it may be the culprit...

I doubt it's about the RAM, I never had any problems with it, and I clean it regularly.
I will try to flash it again, but I try to back my things up, and instead of backing up only the user apps (107) Titanium Backup backs up about 321 files, which I think means it backs up also the System stuff.
What do you mean by "avoid using art as your runtime"?
EDIT: I flashed the ROM again, and everything works fine. But before I bring all of my stuff back through Titanium Backup, I need to be sure: What does grey apps with cross line on them means? Because I don't want to screw up my phone again...

The apps which are crossed are not installed in your device...avoid the ones which are colored as these are the apps from your previous system which must have been backed up by titanium backup...dont restore them..just go in the tab which says restore missing apps with data..the first one in the restore section..it contains all your user apps with their data backed up..
although cm thread says that they dont support the use of titanium or restoring your data...
so i also restore those apps for which data is always necessary like games...it us a little cumbersome but ya thats the way to go for better experience...

Okay so I restored all of my apps, some info is missing but that's fine. Just a small problem– Slow charging. The battery take AGES to charge and the percents goes down if I use the phone while charging.
Suggestions?

Yes it was. The charging time changed only after flashing to CM.
The usb cable is not the problem, I tried 2 USB and one charger, the charging remains the same.
