When you install an application you get an icon you can place wherever you want.
The problem is that when I reboot, some icons always appear at the end of the last panel, like when the app was installed for the first time.
I've tried reinstalling, unistalling + deleting cache partition and delviks chace + installing, and whatever I thought It could help like "fixing permisions" in xrecovery.
I'm sure this is not an application problem, because I got it once and when I updated the phone (flashed a newer rom version) it fixed. The problem is I don't want to reflash the phone.
So what can I do? What file stores the apps icons position?
Thank you!
Hi, I'm using galaxy S2 and experiences the same problem.
rather discuss in this thread than open a new thread as it seems the same issue (android not phone)
anyone can help?
(I don't have an SD card, cuz I've searched and seen discussions about apps moved to SD card will make their icons run around)
THIS THREAD IS BORN TO HELP ALL THE DEV... PLEASE MAKE HERE YOUR QUESTION.
DON'T PUSH THE DEV.
When you put a question when is possible i update this FAQ.
Please excuse my really bad english....
INSTALL INSTRUCTION FROM FRESH STOCK ROM
save all your data
start seus recovery from Sony Ericsson PC Companion and make your phone clean and fresh.
install a file explorer, install XRECOVERY and install the rom, then restart and install with XRECOVERY the HOTFIX you need.
CAN I UPGRADE FROM VERSION TO ANOTHER?
Yes in the 90% without trouble, your data and app are safe, but not from foryou to ginger and sometimes....
CAN I INSTALL ONLY THE LAST VERSION?
Usually the next version have all the hotfix and some tweeks, yes you can.
SOME APP CRASH, WHY?
Try to delete all the data of the app from the application menu.
Try to uninstall and reinstall the app.
Sometimes you need a fresh SEUS flash...Try to discover if your app not work only for you or all the people...
SOME APP DON'T INSTALL (like angry birds), AND NOW?
Try to Wipe Dalvik Cache using xRecovery
In case, if any app doesn't install even after cleaning Dalvik Cache via xRecovery for some reason.. Try this command:
rm /mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec
Or simply navigate to /mnt/secure/asec/ using root explorer, find smdl2tmp1.asec and delete it. It will solve the problem.

SOME DEFAULT STOCK ROM APPLICATION NOT WORK (like ALBUM), WHY?
We don't have sony Ericsson framework... sorry, stay tuned for next hotfix.
MY X10 SOMETIMES REBOOT, WHY?
Reboots? -> Flash non overclocked version or try to remove undervolt option.
MY X10 FREEZE AT SE LOGO, NOW?
Stuck at SE Logo? -> Wipe Data and Dalvik Cache, restore via MyPhoneExplorer or something Else
CAN'T USE OLD APP2SD and ext2/3/4 PARTIOTION, WHY?
Some custom roms use the native Froyo app2sd, go in the app menu and move from here to the sd, the old app2sd is born for Enclair rom, on this roms not work.
I CAN'T MOVE APPS TO SD, WHY?
Can't move apps to SD?? -> Format SD Card or delete hidden folders on SD Card
Make sure you have 'Allow application moving' checked in settings>cyanogenmod settings>application settings
I CAN'T OPEN DISPLAY SETTINGS FOR AUTO BRIGHTNESS, WHY?
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13382274&postcount=10
IN THIS ROM WE SHOULD HAVE JIT ENABLEAD OR DISABLED?
Leave jit enabled, it gives you the best overall performance. If you play a lot of games its ok to turn it off. I leave it on all the time. If you need to save battery you can also try to turn jit off. Resizing jit heap takes a bit of battery
HOW I CAN SET AN APP AS THE DEFAULT APP?
Go to the application menu ---> manage application ---> find the old default app and remove the default. Next time android make you the question of the new default app.
HOW I CAN REMOVE SYSTEM APP?
IS Dangerous but if you want try use an app like TITANIUM BACKUP.

First questions I must ask.
How did u get to where you are now? And what Rom are you currently using?
Sent from my ERIS using XDA Premium App
i am using cyanogenmod-nonsensikal-v16.1-black&blue. my ex's uncle did the mod for me and it has worked fine since september 2010.
if you want to go to ginger bread just download one of the many gb roms. if your on android 2.2 or even 2.1 then a sd card format wouldnt hurt. but donwload gb rom do a full data wipe and might as well do a dalvik cache wipe and delete the android.secure folder while in recovery. that should get you the cleanest install as possible. flash the gb rom and gapps which you can download from any of the ops. as far as you home screens changing do you mean they move on there own to the left or right or that icons and stuff shange. if its scrolling by itself then you proablly have a trankball issuse
Hi
So as the title says, the thing went like:
- I use checkrom revolution from some time now (currently at v4)
- I tried ICS remix rom from westcrip I think it was v7.3 no-wipe. I did't do a backup, this was my mistake
- As it was not as good for a daily use, I reflashed checkrom
- The shortcut to calendar had changed to something like "app not installed", when I go to add shortcut, calendar doesn't appear in the list
There is a Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk in system/app, if I run it, it launchs an installer but at the end it says "Application not installed"
I know there are lots of calendar apps in market but I liked the default, so I'd like to know if there is a way to get it back :s
Any help will be appreciated

You don't run .apk files in /system/app. If the files are already there, they should be in your app list. If they're NOT in your app list, reboot. If they're still not in your app list, factory reset/data wipe. If they're STILL not in your app list, reflash checkrom.
EDIT: How are you adding the shortcut? Long press on the homescreen, or long press on the icon in your app drawer? Does the calendar show up at all in your app drawer?

It isn't in my app drawer either, I forgot to mention it in the OP, I was doing long press on homescreen. I've rebooted and reflashed checkrom, I was hoping for an option that didn't involve wipe/reset
And when I said I didn't backup was not meant as an excuse, just more information, in case someone asked if I did it / suggested to recover from backup

Wait - are you trying to flash back from ICS to a GB based ROM withOUT wiping? Yeah, as far as I know, that'll never work. You will HAVE to wipe.
EDIT: To be honest, I'm kind of surprised you're not seeing more problems and issues with your phone, if you DIDN'T wipe going from ICS back to GB.
That's right, I flashed back to GB from ICS with just cache/dalvik wipe and everything works fine, the calendar gone is the only problem I have.
Thanks for the answers, I guess I'd have to go with the wipe.

I am looking to install the Resurrection Remix ics v1.4[4.0.4] rom onto my phone which is currently running stock LPQ 4.0.3 (it is also rooted). I am wandering if i install Resurrection Remix ics v1.4 do i also have to install the siyah kernel or will the rom already come with its own kernel? I also am wondering can i install the black theme for the rom right after i install the rom and the gapps or does the phone first have to rebot and does this theme work for 1.4 because the file name says black theme apps for 1.2?
The rom comes with own kernel, the siyah kernel is optionally, i personally didn't like the siyah kernel on Ressurection, becuse of the battery life and some few bugs....I highly recommend the thoravukk kernel...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574672
Install rom first, then gapps, reboot...let the device do its thing and then reboot into recovery again and install the black theme...
I say stick with the Stock Kernel

Hello, guys. I'm a newbie at this forum. Can you point me to some issues of RR 1.4?
1. I'm using RR 1.4 on my Galaxy S2. It is the great rom, but... Is it possible to set storage for camera to use? I used this feature on 1.0 to store my photos and videos on sdcard. But on 1.4 I haven't found appropriate setting in settings menu of the camera.
2. RR 1.4 doesn't install MMS.apk file during the flashing. There is no icon for SMS/MMS application in Apex Laucher dock. You need to install mms.apk file manually after flashing. Seems that it is an issue.
3. FmRadio and SoundRecorder applications are missed in applications list. I see them in /system/app folder but can't run. Also I can't install them manually.
Does anyone faced with the same problems?
I love this v1.4 all the features are great.
However i have a problem, i have backup all the contacts via titanium in v1.1 but i can restore them in v1.4. Please help : D

The most common reason for having issues like that is not following the instructions for flashing the ROM. It's harsh I know, but, flash it again - this time by the book and you'll have no problems. 1.4 works like a charm for me, Sound rec. and FmRadio are not included in this ROM and there is no option to choose storage on the camera apk.

That's odd, maybe you can try clearing dalvik from recovery and fix permissions. If that doesn't fix the issue, and you can - reflash it and follow the instructions. Maybe it's a bug, but I don't have it so...

Yep, I have the boot animation.zip you can download from here
http://www.mediafire.com/?yypcbzvrzjzgfgk
using root explorer app, first remove the current bootanimation.zip which is in system/media, put it somewhere for safe keeping. Then replace it with the downloaded .zip. You will have to change the folder from R/O (read only) to R/W (read write) which is in the top right corner. Remember to remove the current boot animation.zip from the /media folder otherwise it won't work.
