Has anyone ever found a solution to this bug under CM7? I've searched and all threads end with no answer.

+1 on this problem.
Boot up in clockwork, go to mounts and storage, mount system, mount data. Back out to cwm main menu, wipe cache partition, go into cwm advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache, back to cwm main menu and choose reboot system now.
That fixed the widget loading error for me with CM7.

Tried that. Nothing fixes it permanently, they still vanish after a few reboots. I have wiped my gtab, and installed fresh several times, always fails after a few reboots.

I know you say you have wiped and installed fresh several times, but have you tried this -> After a wipe and fresh install, wait about ten minutes on first boot for everything to settle in, then shut down, boot into CWM and do a factory reset on the new install that you just performed. Then boot back into the rom and wait for everything to settle in again before attempting any installations of apps or widgets.
Just something to try.
Have the same issue. Widgets crash after a few reboots (I would understand if it crash every reboot but NO you will need several )
any proven solution????

Try the "fix" suggested in this thread. Basically, a) run fix_permissions and b) take a backup of /data/system/appwidgets.xml to restore at a later date.
That fixed most of my widgets. Not all though. One of them completely disappeared instead of showing "Problem loading gadget". I'll go over the procedure again and see how it goes.
Basically, I booted in recovery, cleared cache and dalvik cache, fixed permissions, and rebooted.

Went over it again and it fixed the last problematic widget. Let's see if it sticks.
I attempted to flash a custom rom and it didn't work. No my phone is stuck on the motorola screen. What do I need to do to get back to stock rom?
Can you please explain simply what did you do? Which rom or which steps did you followed? Just to clarify Things
You cannot flash a custom rom right from start. Did you flash a .sbf by chance?
I attempted to flash CM7 after unlocking and rooting. I have Clockwork mod installed. How do I flash an sbf file? I don't beleive I did that. AM I screwed then?
Ok, can you access to the recovery mode at least?

ok, then...
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache
Just in case, download another ROM in case zip file is corrupt
Go to Mounts and storage -> mount USB storage
Copy the Custom ROM you've downloaded
Unmount then go back
Install zip from sdcard -> flash the rom you've downloaded
Then reboot and be patient... leave it like 5 minutes or so to see if anything happens.
oh, and one more thing... did the flashing finished with errors?

If my SD card is already mounted, do I need to mount and unmount? When I go to USB storage, only option I have is unmount, so I should already be mounted. How do I copy the ROM and where do I copy it to?

It's ok, when you click on USB storage, it mounts your phone as an USB device ... the unmount option is for unmounting when you finished copying

So all I am doing is wiping and reflashing? I have already done that with a different rom. I'm still stuck at the motorola screen.
Did you try restoring the nandroid backup you created after unlocking your bootloader and before flashing CM7?
There is information about getting back to stock on the "answers" post stickied in Q&A.

I never could get it to do a backup. So that won't work with getting me back to stock. I'll jsut try to flash one of those fruitcake things. Says its going to take an hour to download. IF that doesn't work, can you help guide me how to flash one in fastboot?
The fact that you couldn't get CWM to do a backup should have told you that recovery wasn't installed properly and you should have stopped there and asked for help. I saw your post over on Th3bill's AOKP thread, and since you saw the AT&T boot animation I'm guessing the ROM never installed.
How did you root and boot?
What happened when you tried to perform a backup?
What happened when you tried to flash the new ROM?
What is the current state of your device? You said you can access recovery, what happens now if you try to boot?
keep us posted pal, good luck!

How did I root and boot?
I used automatic unlock. It unlocked and rooted my phone. I verified root access by installing superuser and and root checker. It said I was fully rooted
What happened when you tried to perform a backup?
I can't remember
What happened when you tried to flash the new ROM?
I flashed it, it said it installed successfully or something. I rebooted the phone. It never would go past the at&t loading screen. I pulled out the battery and restarted the phone, wouldn't go past the motorola screen that time. I tried reflashing the ROM and I'm still stuck at the motorola screen.
Oh and when I try to do anything in fastboot via command prompt, it keeps saying < waiting for device > and nothing ever happens.
Still waiting for the stock gingerbread fruitcake to finish downloading.

Did you wipe data, cache, and Dalvik before flashing the ROM? If not do that.
Do you have an adapter to connect your micro SD card to your PC?

Hi, i put the wrong rom on my i9300 and it went into a boot loop and i want to put the right rom on. i downloaded it on my computer but i can't transfer my files until i actual boot successfully. any suggestions? unfortunately, i haven't backed up my phone in a while so i wouldn't really want to factory reset.
grab a sd card and put the files on them, then flash in recovery

Try to flash a stock ROM, and see what happens next then
No, don't flash a stock ROM, because then you will HAVE to do a factory reset.
Can you access recovery? Push the file via adb.
And anyway, you have to do a factory reset when switching ROMs, what were you thinking?
Hi, i solved the problem, first of all, it was a bad rom and then i was using outdated gapps. none of my non-system google apps work but i'll just solve that by intalling and reinstalling them. at least play works
Hi so recently i was playing with some of the option on my phone (custom rom;techno duos?) so i so this app called app2sd and i saw a option dalvik to sd so i kinda click it and now my phone keep rebooting to the logo and restarts again what can i do?? I can still boot to the recovery mode.

Try wiping dalvik cache in recovery. Not all phones work with A2SD.. What phobe are you using? It might be better off with Link2SD which is a bit different but it has the same premise. Reply to this post directly if you need more help or if my suggestion doesn't work, because I don't feel the need to suscribe to minor threads.

If you're using CWM recovery, navigate to the "advanced" menu, and there should be an option to "wipe dalvik cache".

Then you probably did something at the system-level. Maybe you tried linking a system app to your sd? Your best bet (easiest fix) would be to reinstall whatever ROM you were using. I don't think you'd have to wipe data if you install the same ROM.
My S duos keep rebooting!!!

Hi,
When i woke up this morning my phone was attempting to boot, but was stuck on my boot animation. So i pulled out the battery and rebooted, since then it has been turning on for a couple mins than rebooting the phone its self is slightly warmer than usual, but it has been hotter before. I have attempted to back up my data using cwm, but the reboot still happens, im unsure if its on the same file that causes the reboot. Im trying to back it up to completely wipe it and see if that makes a difference.
I would be grateful for any help in the matter.

Hi,
i would boot into CWM or TWRP and then i would do a wipe cache / dalvik, and flash your "rom.zip" from internal or external sd card. If that does not work then do a factory reset and flash "rom.zip". If the problem still exists what i do not hope for you, then you have to wipe all your data without doing a nandroid backup and then flashing again. Do you have a stock rom installed or what rom do you have and what kind of kernel?
But try to flash your rom and kernel again . Hope it will help your "Diva" ?!
Sounds to me ur power button is stuck.

im running the stock rom with siyah kernal and jkay framework.Well i wiped the /data and it seemed to work then i did the foolish thinng of trying to flash a /system backup i had. So m back to where i started. I'm downloading the latest stock rom for my network and am gonna try and flash via odin. Hopefully that fixes it.

No i meant you should flash your rom.zip, but when you have istalled a stock rom then you dont have a zip file of it on your sd-card, which you can flash. But a normal odin flash of your stock will solve your problem, and then you can do a custom nandroid backup in CWM (EFS, DATA partition etc). I hope odin will do a complete delete of your /system, /data/media, /data partition. But try it

We should do a full wipe of your phone.....:laugh:
1. Load a rom xyz.zip file on your external sd card (i would recommend not a stock rom)
2. Reboot into CWM (what version do you have ??? etc. It is very important for your new rom what you want to install instep 6)
3. Do a full wipe (wipe cache / wipe dalvik cache)
4. Factory Reset
5. Delete /data and /data/media i mean everything (so your internal sd card has to be empty and empty)
6. Install zip file from sdcard1 (external sd card)
so a new rom will be flashed dont forget it, its your phone
7. REBOOT
8. Now you have a newly fresh installed ROM on your S3 :good::laugh:

It doesnt if the power button is stuck continuously as when u press and hold the power button, it hard reboots so no menu is given. Go google search 'gs3 power button stuck'. Trust me. All of their cases are similar to urs.
