Hi all, i'm using Froydvillian, and have applied both the Samsung Galaxy and Mininmal Matt ports which have been ported over for this specific ROM, and for some reason, on both, the drop down notification menu and the taskbar at the top are staying standard.
Both work when i wipe the device from recovery then flash, but once i restart the phone the problem occurs again!!!! why is this happening!! please reply asap as i'm going on holiday in 3 days and wish for this to be resolved.
Thanks in advance,

Not sure what you mean here. Did you flash one theme over another? Also, to undo themes, a wipe isn't enough. You need to fully reflash the stock ROM to get rid of themes.
Also, after installing a theme, don't install another over it unless you fully reflash the ROM again.
Thanks for the quick reply what i mean is, i flashed The latest Froydvillian ROM, and have been using it for a few days. However, when i downloaded and flashed the Samsung Galaxy theme for it, certain aspects of the theme didn't work, such as the notification pull down menu, and the taskbar at the top. They both stayed standard with the later text or symbols, but the colours and design was not the them.
I found out if i boot into recovery and wipe all settings, then flash the theme it works correctly, however if i reboot the phone it reverts back to the mismatched and ugly theme!
I have encountered this problem many times *zeik* it's so stupid! Anyways for my themes it worked for me to modify the update-script so it deletes the files before copying (since you probably have no idea what i'm talking about copy/paste it and PM the developer xD). I am very bussy right now so I can't do it but I'm sure the themer will do it for you (it's a very simple task)
not sure what to call it exactly, but i just recently purchased my 10.1 tab (few days ago)... then i went camping and found out that my tablet does not or cannot located ad-hoc for wifi tethering off my samsung galaxy 4g!!! so i came home today and tried to root it.... then i installed the task650 rom.... i noticed my numbers on the home screens disappeared at the top...there should be maybe like 3-4 screens where i can switch left and right...but the bubbles at the top are gone..i even went back to stock, but it seems that they still didnt come back!!! i also noticed the clocks and bars at the bottom doesnt seem the same as when i first got it stock?? the settings colors still looks different too...maybe my tablet didnt have a new version of the kernels or updates etc...not sure...please help!

Task's launcher in V5 and V6 is different than stock TW KME. It has the bubbles removed on top.
When you went back to stock, did you do a full wipe of your system first? Let us know what steps you took to get back to stock to figure this out.
thanks for the quick reply, i just followed the first thread of i think in the development section that tells u how to root,unroot,roms...etc...
there was pretty much just 3 sentences.. i downloaded the filesfordummies.zip.... went to cwm and loaded up the hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1.zip, then i unrooted after that with odin.... but i did notice i get a force close after i booted up..so i redid the process again and wiped the cache, wiped and resetted the data, and wiped the dalvic thing... then i reloaded up the hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1.zip again... then i unrooted again (i rerooted earlier in the step again so i could unroot)....i see the stock stuff, but it seems the bubbles are still not there, the menu is still dark (unlike what i had in the stock one, and the widgets like the clock and weather that appears when i first purchased it is not at the homescreen)...so i know something is wrong..

Your on the original stock honeycomb. I can't remember if the bubbles were on vanilla honeycomb. Upgrade your Tab to Touchwiz to get the other features back.
If you need to upgrade link, here is KMB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205816
It was the first official Touchwiz update in the US. You can upgrade to KME from there to be at the latest and greatest.
hmm..ok ill try that out... do i have to get back the cwm to use it?? thanks!!!

Yes, you can use the filesfordummies to
1. flash cwm on ODIN
2. install zip via CWM
3. flash stocky recovery on ODIN
4. factory reset in stock recovery
5. go to settings>about and upgrade to KME
This method and the KMB link I posted will keep you unrooted and stay within warranty. This is what I do if I want a completely clean ROM.
Another medthod and possibily the easiest is found on this site from Overcome. (Started yesterday so I forgot to mention)
They have a download called restock and it will ODIN KME on your Tab and give you the chance to wipe clean.
http://p7510.teamovercome.net/
http://p7510.teamovercome.net/?page_id=18 goes to the guide.
i think im trying out the overcome way...im dling it right as im typing..ill update you...i think either way im going back to stock then returning this one (its only been like 5 days from best buys) and getting the white one
btw, i noticed youre from the bay area..maybe ill just drop it by your house so you can help me root my new one and install adhoc lol jk
alright i got the stock rom back in there now. all the widgets and bubble things are back too...i appreciate it!
now im wondering..is that task650 rom with the newer software, or is the factory one the newest?? thanks

Both are KME which is the latest US official release.
Other than that, tasks is themed and has enhancements that make it much much smoother than stock.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium
ah ok, so its just the theme that made the menus/task look different in colors. i have it all fixed now. i will PM you if you dont mind regarding adhoc tether. thanks again.
Hello, I'm coming along with a wierd problem, I own a SII and flashed a couple roms, now I can't get weather on lockscreen or even change the position of time.
I've done everyting (fixing permissons, restoring stock firmware, flashing another ROMs and nothing works!
Does anyone know what's going on?
Please Help!
I don't think every rom has a lockscreen weather feature.
Or maybe it's just turned off.

OK guys I got a question and I hope that someone can help me out here. I've been google-ing, looking for a similar issue and asking this question in couple of threads and after not getting an usable answer I decided to make a thread about my issue. My S3 emmc is the unfamous SDS affected one and I've been experiencing some lag and freezing so here's what I did with my phone at first:Flashed 4.1.2 XXELLA firmware, Rooted with-CF-Autoroot, flashed PhilZ Recovery v.4.35, Stock kernel.To get a clean installation I flashed the 4 file rescue firmware including PIT file and everything was working perfectly fine...no more freezes or random reboots just EVERY 2-3 days my notification bar used to get totally stuck/gone. Doing no matter what-restarting systemUI...etc,etc I couldn't pull the status bar down anymore until reboot.Tried stopping touchwiz home, clearing cache and dalvik, fixing permissions but it happens again in 2 days of mild-moderate use(web, games, texting, voice calls) Flashed again the XXELLA 4.1.2 firm.from sammobile.com.Changed the kernel as suggested by someone here on xda and it was ok for a while when using Siyah kernel v1.8.9+ until the next day when it happened again. It comes out of the blue just after doing whatever...at first I thought that is somehow related with the Triangle Away app that I used to reset the flash counter but it happened again even after I deinstalled the app. 2 days ago I wiped cache and dalvik, factory reseted the phone and updated it with the new I9300XXEMB1 uk firmware. It was running flawless until today when I faced the same frustrating issue. Out of nowhere after unlocking the screen I tried to pull down the notification bar to turn on wi-fi when..whoa!-there is no notification bar!again. I contacted Samsung U.S since there I got the phone this summer but they told me they don't have any tech support fot the I9300. It is driving me insane...what else should I try..tried hard resetting the device couple of times, tried different roms, different kernels all that is within my range of knowledge and this is my only hope that someone out there will give me an answer or suggestion. Any help will do good, thanks in advance.
Anyone?
Anyone out there please?
I experienced a similar issue, but it haa an explanation, Iwanted a black status bar, not the std dark gray one, then flashed a themed statusbar, when I rebooted, the status bar was gone, Ihad to reflash the rom (crdroid v 11), to recover the statusbar, finally found a theme with black background and white not light gray indicators, (LLC_XXEMA1_2_Jkay_framework_14_9blk statbar), and this one runs perfect, I now our problem is differnt, but give it a try, flash a statusbar theme, maybe, it will work for you, Im not giving you links, because it depends of your rom an framework, luck
Thanks I'll give it a try if I cannot stick to stock as close as possible then I'll try another custom rom like CM 10.1 or a themed status bar...For now the only "solution" to get back the notification bar is to use ROM Toolbox and with the rebooter to restart SystemUI-then it comes back. Uninstalled Dolphin Browser since I noticed that is the only app that I use prior losing the status bar (I might be just guessing idk for sure)
Finally I found a solution for my issue with the phone - SOLD IT! It was driving me insane with the constant status bar loss, no matter what stock firmware after the 4.1.2 jb update or kernel it used to run. Here on the forum I got no answer addressing the exact issue and I think that was the only solution. Bought a Nexus 4 and I really like it. Faster, smoother, better build quality, and I think I can live without the expandable memory and removable battery. Probably that was the last Samsung device I`ll ever buy until they start to manufacture a real quality products and start acknowledging and fixing the issues that follow them. Thanks to everybody here on this site for the help....
I think
I think it's the Custom ROM's SystemUI.apk problem reflashing with the same ROM would not help, i suggest to reflash the device to it's stock ROM and flash it again to your Desired ROM.

Tried everything my friend...reflashed to stock million times, flashed recovery firmware with pit file. Reverted back to stock with kies, downgraded, upgraded, changed different stock ROMs - nothing helped, felt disappointed and started to hate the phone cause it was driving me nuts so I sold the device and got myself a Nexus 4. I never regret of doing so, much happier, more satisfied overall with this beautiful device. Faster, no bugs,no lag, more quality materials used...now what is left is to convince my girlfriend to follow my steps as she started to experience the very same issue on the newest XXEMB5 firmware on her SGS3.
Hello everyone!
I request your help please, because sometime my phone goes stuck and I have to reboot each time.
First, here is my configuration :
XWLSW NeatRom Lite 4.8 installed with full wipe (Philz kernel) + Blue Ginger Plus Theme + Apex Launcher + Fancy Widget (clock + weather) on my main page.
I have to precise, that before installing the NeatRom, I had an older ICS ROM (CriskeloServanTeam V12), and this kind of stuck used to happening on my device, that's why I decided to install a new ROM.
Here is the 2 last situtations when my phone was stuck :
- I'm charging my phone just before going to sleep (in fly mode), and in the middle/end of the night, surely after my battery reach 100%, I'm looking to the clock of my phone : it display 2h31 (instead of the real time 5h23), probably at the time when my phone goes stuck.
Symptoms : Time was stuck, Apex Launcher close, Status bar is missing on the lockscreen, impossible to goes through the lockscreen, but it is possible to reboot (luckily!).
- In the daily use of my phone, I decided to activate the data by the status bar on the lockscreen, then I switch off the screen. 15-20 min later, I want to unlock my screen, but impossible, it is stuck.
Symptoms : Status bar is missing on the lockscreen, impossible to goes through the lockscreen, but it is possible to reboot (luckily!).
So my questions :
Why this is happening?
Is anyone else already have this kind of stuck with this configuration?
What can I do to fix that?
Thanks a lot!
Sound like a sod to me. What kernel are you using? Did you do format before you changed to neat rom from ics rom??
Kernel is responsible for these actions.I had so many and also random freezes with DorimanX kernel...ahh ...Now I have Apolo Kernel and eveything is okay.No freezes,and awesome battery.Try out Apolo kernel And also do a factory reset,and don't install themes or mods...run it clean for a few days,see iif it still presists.
First, thank you both for your answers.
Then, my kernel is the one that goes with the NeatRom Lite version 4.8 : XWLSW-5.06.1-PhilZ.
I think my problem is a Sleep of Death too. Yes I did a wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system, and format preload before installing the Rom. Is it normal I have a SoD after I did all of this?
Else ok for the Kernel, I will try the Apolo. Is it ok to install it with the NeatRom lite 4.8 ?
Well you did the install ok so I dont see the problem philz kernel is good for neat rom. You should try apollo kernel reg first. But I would say test the rom with out the mods and then flash mods one by one. But like I said philz is good for neatrom. Try factory reset which will clear the mods and test it with philz first.
Ok thanks I will try that.
Just another question, is the Apex Launcher is considered as a "mod" and should I use the TW launcher some days instead, or can I still use the Apex Launcher (the freeze cannot come from this app) ?
I shouldn't think apex would cause this. Probably, clock widget is but not to sure.
I just noticed I had the debug mode activated on my phone (I don't know why? maybe I activate it by mistake? but I don't remember). Could the recurring Sleep of Death happens because of this?
Nope. SOD's are not caused by usb debugging. Follow andrewwright's advice, he knows what he's talking about.
Sent from a galaxy far, far away
simply go back to stock rom
Yes but ... no I like custom Roms, so I will try all I can before going back to a stock Rom
I did some research and I think this is not really SoD that happening to to my phone.
Effectively I read that SoD is the behavior in which the phone goes into "sleep" mode... typically screen off, and then won't wake up with power button.
However, when my lockscreen is frozen, I can still push the power button and access the power menu to reboot my phone, I don't have to remove the battery.
So if this is not a SoD, what is it?
So what did you try? If its still happening and it was me I would now format the lot,reinstall the rom with nothing on it. No mods and no apps and see if it happens again. So no apex no widget and no flashing of any mods. Then test that for two days. If problems are still there I would try a different rom to rule out software. I no neat is solid and so is philz kernel. Im
I changed the battery (it was recent, less than 1 year, but you never know, maybe defective).
I reinstalled the same rom, but with no mods, no themes, and no restoring apps from Titanium (but I installed them by downloading them by the Playstore).
Almost 2 days fine, but yesterday it froze again.
So now I will try to format, but before, do you think a scandisk plus a defragment on my SD Card could help?
Yes that help clear out any crap left over from different roms.

I did a chkdsk/scandisk on my intern SD Card, and installed the last version of Philz kernel (5.11.2).
Atm, I still had no freeze. If I have one, I will try to format the lot and reinstall the rom with nothing on it as you said.
Fingers crossed mate :thumbup:
that`s happened with the problem with the base rom i mean the stock rom that`s i flashed with odin i changed it an every thing is ok now
I finally format my phone, not because I had freeze again, but because some of my app had strange behavior.
So now I just have the NeatROM Lite version 4.8 installed, with no mods nor theme. Waiting some days to see if it is still stable.
Hard thing to do if you have it set up the way you want but the best way mate. You should find neat Rom is solid. Do you have stock kernel? Philz?
