Can anybody help?
I've been fiddling with my framework-res.apk a lot recently and I keep getting mysterious bugs. Whenever I push the new version, my app's FC if I try to get into the settings menu. Also the Market FC's and the phone reboots if I long-press on the home button (or whatever it's called) to see what app's I'm running.
Re-pushing a previous, working framework doesn't fix the issue, even if I use the original stock one. The only thing that works is restoring a Nandroid backup or reflashing.
I've been able to narrow it down and this only happens whenever I edit an XML file in the Layout folder, although I have absolutely no idea why.
Anybody know what's going on?

First of all, let me say, you all are awesome! Without you, my tablet would be so plain! I just got it this past week, and after watching videos and reading through your forums, I knew I had to try to root mine.
So, I have a question - and it may seem silly, but I've looked all through my tablet at settings and such, and I cannot find a way to fix this little problem.
I used Clockworks and I loaded Vegan version 7 as my OS. I love the Vegan, but in checking things out and personalizing it, I put some of the main icons on the bottom of my main screen. One of those main icons is the one that you touch to pull up a screen with all your apps on it. Well, somehow or another (I just can't figure out what happened) I managed to do something that caused the icon to malfunction. When you touch the app icon, instead of showing me a screen of all my apps, it shows a see-through blank screen.
I cannot figure out how to fix this so the icon will bring up a screen of my apps again. I figure the icon works as a shortcut to get to the directory of my apps, but I just cannot figure out how to fix it. I don't really know if it's something I did or if it is a glitch in the program.
Any thoughts?

Menu- Settings- Apllications- manage aplications - then unistall it and try reinstalling it.
Have you tried changing your launcher to something else? Maybe VT Launcher is fouled?

Thank you, but there is no launcher icon in those settings to uninstall and reinstall. I thought maybe deleting the icon that was on the screen and then reapplying the icon to the desktop would help, but it didn't - I still just get a blank screen with no program apps showing.
I appreciate you responding. I'm still stuck with the problem, if anybody else wants to give it a try.
Do you think maybe I should just reinstall the VEgan program? Will my apps still be there when I do that?

You've probably created a blank 'catalog'.
The App drawer allows you to create catalogs of different apps (so you can organize your app drawer, etc).
After opening your App Drawer, press menu and see if you don't have some options regarding catalogs.
Google is not my friend today. So Simple question. Does anybody have change logs for the LGP509.(preferably complete ones from A to current) I like to know what changes before I decide to update something and I don't wanna go rebuilding my rom if it's something stupid like another demo app.
Edit:Very impatient, built a rom from it anyway, small performance increase, lot of usless apps, theming caused inputbug, changing media volume while running an application or pressing power button at anypoint causes ui reboot. But i could have just messed up the themeing part.
Sometimes when I hit the home button all I get is my background and rosie does not refresh, however, if I go to the task killer and kill all the tasks then click the home button it will work properly. How can I find out what task is causing this? Also sometimes when I wake my phone by pressing the power button the lockscreen is all black. When I slide up where I imagine the ring to be it still unlocks. Any ideas? Also, I've tried multiple roms and this ends up happening to all that I've tried. Not sure what app would be causing this. Also using Net's kernel, not sure if that would cause it.
Idk if its your unit or what but if its that serious just clear the defaults on the sense application and HTC lockscreen application and anything else you'd think is causing this. If its your unit and you care that much then get it replaced
Warning: idk if clearing the sense app will change the homescreens back to default
If all else fails, back everything up and perform a Factory Reset. Then run it with just the basic apps for a while. If it seems fine, then start reinstalling your apps one by one. It may be an app causing your issues.
If that doesn't help, then it might be time for a replacement phone.
Hi,
I love TaskXP and using it to make my n button act more or less like an iphone's; I click once to return to the Android desktop, and twice to get a list of running apps that I can switch to, close, or other things.
The problem is that every time I restart my nook, it forgets that I've chosen to make TaskXP the default program for when I press the n button, and so it reprompts me (do I want the default to be the Nook launcher, GoLauncherEx, or TaskXP) and I have to select "set as default" and then select "TaskXP" all over again.
Does anyone know how I might be able to make it the default relatively permanently? Or what I should look at to see if there's something erasing the defaults or something like that?
Thanks!
ST
I had that problem before as well. Made me stop using it... you could try to move the taskxp APK from /data/app to /system/app and install it from there. After that reboot and see if the problem is still there. Usually installing certain apps as system apps will get rid of any bugs concerning the setting of defaults.

Hi there,
actually almost since the beginning with Viper 2.1.1 I have a few very strange annoyances:
1) when I hide a few apps inside the app-drawer they seem to be hidden first ... but after a while (not even a reboot needed) a couple of those randomly reappear in the app-drawer instead of staying hidden. the reappearing apps not even needed to be started inbetween. some stay hidden, but at least half of them just keep popping back <- i use the "hide app" feature to clean my drawer from those apps that i put on my homescreens separately already.
2) somewhere in the Viper settings there was the option to enable/disable the arrow-keys on the std onscreen keyboard. it just doesn't seem to have any persistant effect for me?! - neither enabled or disabled ... in 90% of all apps (needing keyboard input) the arrow keys are just NOT there even when enabled. only a very few apps like the build-in webbrowser seem to allow the cursor keys to be seen.
thanks for your help :fingers-crossed:
... not even anyone any idea on this?
sry to bump ... but no one any ideas on this? :angel:
I too am wondering about the arrow keys not showing up in anything other than stock apps like Internet, Messaging, etc. I don't remember if they showed up in other apps when I was stock. It would be nice to have since I tend to use them a lot when they are available.
For the un-hiding apps in the app drawer, I don't think I've experienced that. I just hid a few then rebooted, they were all still hidden. I will keep an eye on it to see if they unhide. I am on the latest version, Viper 2.2.0.
Do you ever get random reboots?
thanks for checking ... random reebots? i don't think so ... appart maybe from 2 unexpected ones in 2 months or so
They are all still hidden after a day. You could try flashing 2.2.0.
might depend also on other factors. i have like 100 apps installed xD ... and 60'ish hidden (as they are in folders on the different home-screens) ... so i prefer to have them hidden in the drawer. as for viper2.20 ... it needs a _full wipe_ and that's more hassle then i'm currently intending to spend so i'm gonna wait for the next big update with JB i think (or the Infernal+ maybe, if they get the cam working).
