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.

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)
I'm trying to change my lock screen wallpaper but every time i try via the settings i get a force close? Has anyone else encountered this?
I running a rooted KE2 kernel (followed guides on this amazing forum ) and originally changed the wallpaper before i flashed the inseure KDD kernel, rooted and re-flashed the stock KE2 kernel... not sure this would make a difference, just background info
No one getting this issue
Ok so i figured it out for myself
I froze a load of stock Samsung apps including the Gallery... doh!
A quick unfreeze of the gallery and i was merrily changing my lock screen wallpaper with no FCs in sight
thanks for this

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/?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

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.
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.
I installed some mods, reverted back now and noticed I have lost my lock sounds, delete sounds and others work, does anybody know how to fix it?

Try dirty flashing the same ROM you are running.
