Eclipse ROM and LauncherPro - Motorola Droid X2

Hey all just thought I would share my knowledge and experience with launcherpro reloading everytime you go home. Ive been playing around with the memory settings to try and stop this. Ive been running the phone on these settings for a few hours now without a reload. I am also open to any suggestions people may have with different settings. My settings are as follows:
Keep in memory: Yes
Memory Usage Preset: Light
Use homescreen Caches: Yes
Homescreen Cache Type: Normal
Build Caches as Needed: Yes
If anyone else has had no issues with other settings I would love to see how you have it set up. Cheers!

[Q] Launcherpro always FCs after reboot, why?

Hello guys,
This phenomenon has been through dozens of i9000 roms and a good two dozen i9000 roms, LauncherPro ALWAYS FCs when I reboot the phone.
It seems the phone is still scanning the SD memory. In settings it says Launcherpro is installed on device (default) so I wonder why I would always get these FCs? Anybody know whats going on with that?
Cheers,
Mark
You will need to change the memory settings in Launcher Pro. Go in advanced then memory usage. Tick one of the preset in the bottom. If you have a lot of home screens and widgets like me, pick the one that says "low". Don't take the last one in the bottom though.
That could also make the whole scrolling through home screens a lot smoother. Much more so than TouchWizz.
You might get a few FC on startup every once in a while but 8 times out of 10 it'll go fine.

Hi
Thanks Davith, I have set that and will see how it goes... cheers for that. I would have thought LOW would mean the app gets less memory allocated, so therefore would be MORE prone to crashing! I wonder why LOW would make it more stable, do you know?
cheers,

Random Apps running in bakground

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.

[Q] [HELP] Touchwiz crashes when deleting a homescreen SGS3 JB4.1.1 sept 9, 2012

Hi Everyone,
I have searched the forum for possible solution to my issue, but I am not able to find anything that is relevant or something that I am willing to do.
What I am trying to do is to delete a blank homescreen on TouchWiz.
My set up is:
1. Samsung Galaxy S3 - International (Philippines)
2. I installed the Sept 9, 2012 leak via Odin without clearing my phone. I just have it installed as instructed.
3. It was working fine, until I mindlessly went to recovery mode and wiped my phone data - reset.
4. I have to reinstall all apps.
5. When I was happy with my four homescreen setup, I was trying to delete the extra home screen that I dont need or want.
6. Drag the empty homescreen to trash, and boom. It crashes.
I have done the following:
1. I have cleared the cache of touchwiz, and I did my home screens again. Still not able to delete the extra home screens.
2. I have wiped my phone for the second time, this time settings > back up and reset > factory data reset
3. Reinstalled all my apps again
4. Did my homescreen thing, and was able to delete the extra home screen. Yay!
5. I was trying to call, but instead of pressing the call button from the bottom row, it moved it to NEW homescreen. I moved it back to where it was, and now I'm stuck again with a fifth unnecessary homescreen.
6. When I try to delete the extra homescreen, the trash will not turn red, and will just crash.
I don't want to reset my phone again. I have cleared the cache of the homescreen several times (settings > application manager > all > TouchWiz home > Clear data).
I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, or was already addressed, but I am unable to find the solution as to how I can delete the extra home screen without resetting my phone for the nth time.
Thank you in advanced,
Regards,

TouchWiz crash JB XXDLI8
same problem here with an austrian SIII.
updated from DLI6 by 1st flashing Easy_Jelly_Base.XXBLG8-XXLH1_Odin.tar as a base
and then updating the I9300XXDLI8-OTA-I9300XXBLG8_BTU_297718496.zip via recovery. (w/o wipe!)
everything works pretty well and speedy except removing empty homescreens results in a crash of the touchwiz.
so i guess it´s "just" a bug and we´ve to wait for DLI9.
regards,
George

Not 100% sure on a solution to this, but you could try fixing permissions, as well as wiping your delvic cache and cache in recovery.
Alternatively you could also use APEX or NOVA Launcher as a substitute to Touchwiz...
Try flashing modded touchwiz launcher from themes and app section. It works flawlessly

Just to add to this, I've got the 'out of box' jb on my Vodafone UK Samsung galaxy s3.
It's not been rooted, just has the stock touchwiz. Same thing happens for me since the jb update.
Looks like it's possibly a touchwiz bug.

Solution to this has been found, in developer settings you have to enable the animation scale. Even setting it to 0,5 speed is OK.
Technically it's not a solution since it will happen if animations are turned off, but it's an easy and good workaround.
It worked for me
Thanks, it worked for me.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Works! Another note: Just enable the animator duration scale to 0.5 and it works! you can set the others to off.

Man, this is the only option that worked for me. Tried other websites suggestion such as clear touchwiz cache (which is a bit of a bugger because it will erase all of your settings) remove battery, animation to 10, and developer options off. The only option that worked for me is animation setting to .5x.
Thanks everyone.:good:

How to disable circle cursor in Cyanogenmod

Hello
I have Wildfire S with Cyanogenmod 2.6.35.13-CRYPTOMILK-g721bcd9 (version 9.0.0-RC2 ALPHA 6 marvel) based on Android 4.0.4.
I've installed also Int2Ext and two or three days ago Adrenaline.
And it worked just fine.
Until yesterday. Two days ago I started to have a indicator that i have memory full. But when i went into memory settings i have a lot of memory.
But i've uninstalled one game.
And still nothing.
After that i've browsed internet with Opera and a popup showed to ask me if i want to download Porn.apk. Of course i cancelled it.
And today my phone didn't go beyond the loading animation.
So i've uninstalled Andrenaline.
And it started.
But since that i can not touch and move my screen.
On the screen there is a blue circle displayed and when i move my screen it does not move; the circle does.
And i'ts impossible to do anything now on my phone. Because it's hard to use this circle thing.
I've found on the internet you should go to Settings -> Developer Settings -> Touch display and disable it.
So i did it but still i have this circle. I also tried to enable it, restart, disable it, restart and nothing.
Installing Andrenaline didn't help also.
Is this some kind of a virus? Or settings broken?
Is there any way to fix it with command line or some other software and not with wiping whole phone?
Did you ever find a solution to this? The same thing just happened to me!
Me too! a solution?
Solution:
Create a file called "melf-touchscreen.idc" with content "touch.deviceType = touchScreen", add it to "system\usr\idc"

[BUGS] Zopo Speed 7 Plus Stock ROM ZP952 20150820-222820

Hello,
yesterday I posted some bugs in another thread in reply to a posting aiming the Zopo Speed 7 (without plus). But this is the Zopo Speed 7 Plus forum, so I guess it's a good idea to start a new thread.
After recognizing some bugs with the ROM installed on the phone and doing the OTA-Update I decided to set up the phone completely new with the ROM 20150820-222820, that can be found on zobomobile.
After restarting the phone, some bugs seemed to be fixed:
- Small window view (round clock) in combination with the smart cover seemed to work now
- Ringtones are loud enough (for me, maybe not for other users)
- Widgets still operate after restart
Then I did some settings and after a while the Small window view starts again to misoperate. Sudden fade outs, dead screen, not wake up with Power-Button... After some hours I discovered, that the setting, to set the screen brightness depending on amient light is causing the error. If you switch this option on, closing the smart cover seemed to teel the phone: it's totally dark, switch off screen. Ok, I do not really need this option.
After a couple of reboots the widgets started to keep empty again. Grr... Changing the Launcher did not help.
But a little good news: I started Google Maps Navigation and the screen stayed on several hours. No sudden switch off anymore.
And the GPS fix is now in less than 5 seconds.
Maybe someone can find out, how to fix this annoying bug with the widgets.
Other bugs:
- if you change the default launcher with other one, at reboot the phone not save the settings of new launcher and return at default
- the notification of some apps not worked (Facebook, Whatsapp, Tapatalk, ecc.) unless you starts to the apps the first time
I will update as soon as there are others

For widget bug I found a solution but you must have a root. App which widgets you use you must transfer in the system.
With FX File Explorer (you must first install the root addon) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.fx easily transfer it any app in the system.
For example I use HD Widget https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cloudtv.hdwidgets&hl , find HD widgets directory, transfer from data -> app directory in the system -> app directory and reboot. After the boot all widgets from HD Widgets app working normally and smoothly. So I did the same for a few programs and all operating normally :good:
I suppose I do the same with Nova Launcher
From:
To:
Some have a problem with a low sound in the speaker when ringing.
The solution is very simple.
With MTK Engineering Mode https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.themonsterit.EngineerStarter&hl go to MTK Settings -> Software Testing -> Audio -> LoudSpeaker Mode and under level set to Level 6, SET SET. That's it. Now the ringer is even too loud.
In fact the sound through the speakers is enhanced, music, youtube, etc.

I fixed this by rooting and deinstalling the stock launcher with titanium backup. I am using nova launcher instead. Works smoothly.

But the system/app folder has to be mounted as read-write first. Default is read only.
Now I can usw my weather and calendar Widgets normally. Thanks for this solution
Moving to system/app fixes notification problem
Hi, your widget-solution even fixes the problem with apps using an service in the background to receive notifications. :good:
I know bug with the Zopo Speed 7 plus (I guess the Speed 7 also) is that some Apps do not receive notification events in the background.
On my phone neither Whatsapp nor Threema receive ANY notifications after reboot. You have to open the App and after several seconds the
app start to receive sent messages from others. Even if they where sent hours ago. That is really annoying .
After closing the App it receives messages for a little time and then it seems, the App AND its background service is killed by Android. The
killing-algorithm seems to be set to VERY VERY agressive. That's absolutely unnecessary with 3 GB of ram. On my old HTC One X plus I had
1 GB and al works like a charm.
First I got the autostart control feature of the Zopo Speed 7 Plus in mind, but no settings (Allow all, Allow Whatsapp/Threema, Deny all etc.)
did work.
Then I thought of your solution, to fix the Widget problem by moving the Apps to system/app. And voila - it works. Whatsapp and Threema
are starting after reboot and stay online all the time. Even after several hours.
But: Are Apps moved to system/app still getting updates via the Play Store?!? I could not find out.
Thanks but...
Thanks for your hint, this could be a solution for this annoying bug. But, i got some questions to do so:
- do i need root? F. e., the system/app is read only, so i think i have to root and change the settings?
- direct moving doesn't work because play store apps are not stored as apk-files, so i have to get an apk-file to move from /download to system/app?
Thanks for your reply, Thomas
