New Rom, Old Wallpaper - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wondering why when I flash a new ROM I'l see the default wallpaper for it, then it'll change back to the one I had on the previous ROM. Is this due to not wiping something during recovery?

It happens to me as well. TB just came out with an update that may address our issue.

I've never heard of that

Happens because some settings are stored on the sdcard

I always found that if you get ANY old settings from a previous ROM to rewipe and reinstall. I wipe a MINIMUM of 5 times. I have project Team Win and the touch screen makes it easy, i just watch tv and do it.

Flashing Themes

I can't seem to find either the same problem and/or an answer to my issue. I am running das bamf 1.4 and tried a compatible theme for it. Everything loads but the developers background. Can anyone help me with this?

Are you talking about the Live Wallpaper?
No Just the wallpaper the developer of the theme has in screenshots.

had the same problem, your wall paper will cover up the dev's theme wall paper. if you don't wipe before you install your theme, the previous wall paper will still cover it up after the update.
*fix*
back up your user data with titanium, go into clockwork rom, wipe all the data on your phone, then reinstall your rom + theme... reload, your settings through titanium and you should be a happy camper. My guess is that youre running virusrom...

It was on Bamf remix 1.4 and bamf 1.4 unthemed.I tried without wiping and with wiping and to no avail. I will try your fix and post results. Thanks for your reply.
Still a no go. Did exactly that and it still reverted back to the wall paper I had. Even after a full wipe.

[Q] Bamf 2.0.5 lockscreen not properly working

Did some searching and didnt find anyone with this problem. I have the lockscreen with the ring but the 4 apps to choose from aren't there and it seems to not care that I change between the 7 available different lockacreens. Anyone have a fix for this or experience it yet?
Would have posted in the BAMF thread but it says i need more posts befote I can.
Did you try rebooting?
First time I loaded, it didn't show up, but after a reboot, it's been working fine.
Reboot didn't work, grr.. I wonder if it has anything to do with spare parts?

One more question...
Did you do the update through Rom Manager or Clockwork Recovery?
Reason I ask, I noticed when I used Rom Manger the first time, not all everything worked correctly and things were missing.
So I restored my backup then went into clockwork recovery and installed the zip.
Then everything worked properly. I know others have reported odd issues when trying to flash through Rom Manager as opposed to Clockwork.
Not sure if that will help you, but you can always give it a try.
I wiped everything and used clockwork not rom manager

Sorry I couldn't be anymore help.
Only thing I could think to do is try and reload the rom again.
About to do that now
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Yea took me 2 full clears/installs to get 2.05 installed correctly and fully
this is so frustrating, i did a reinstall and it worked for like 10 seconds then stopped working again.
i'm restoring my backup with everything that was working right now so i have a phone to use for the rest of the day but tm i'm gonna load up the froyo radio in case i wanna go back to das bamf 1.6.3 until some more of these kinks are worked out (random force closes of apps i wasn't even aware were running lmao)
thanks for all the help as always guys, this rom has SO much potential its amazing.
Would like to update this: the bamf remix Rom after a full wipe fixed literally every issue I had with the old ROM.
Best of luck to other early adopters, and these guys are doing a fantastic job..

I had this issue after trying to solve a separate issue. The lock screen works in conjuction with a group of other operations, and if one of those other operations is stopped/removed/frozen/whatever, it messes up the lockscreen. I had to do a full data wipe and reinstall. Haven't had an issue since.
Yeah I had the problem once again. Driving me nuts
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I have been having this same problem since coming from 2.0-4 to 2.0-5 and remix.
Almost thought I was the only one with this problem. I did a full wipe twice before loading remix. Worked for a while until I fixed permissions then rebooted. No more lockscreen icons
No idea what I did but now my lock screen is back to normal.
I hope this isn't something that happens all the time with this ROM. that would get super annoying
did you have any issues with previous versions?

paranoid android (rom) (unlocked) 6/8/2012

hey guys this is a port of the paranoidandroid rom found here ( major thanks to everyone invovled in making it , looks sweet )
as usual i put it into jokers cm9
another project by
TEAM MOTO TEGRA
instructions:
can flash over any cm9 based rom except for miui, if coming from miui, cm7, or any blur/stock based rom a full wipe is required
use th3bills wipe all or wipe cache depending on your flashing method
flash rom
flash rom
flash hybrid gapps
* if maps or other apps seem to be missing flash another gapps package that has them then reflash hybrid gapps
current build: based on jokers cm9 6.9.2 and paranoidandroid 1.1
link to jokers site for paranoidandroid
link to my goo account
flash this to keep up to date with the latest releases...search for spleef when inside the app
having fc in browser,facebook,gmail,etc... flash this after first boot linky
thanks to everyone for flashing and please make a backup prior to flashing and remember to report any and everything...thanks
hints/tips:
Go to Settings, System, Font size, set it to NORMAL
Check "Auto Hide" in Settings, System, Statusbar, to finally get Fullscreen (or Hold power button, and press "Toggle StatusBar")
Launcher Settings: margins: SMALL (If youre using Apex / Nova), show permanent searchbar: YES, Grid: 5x4, resize all widgets: YES, Wallpaper scrolling: OFF
1: Stay away from "Global Density" "Default SystemUI DPI" and "Default SystemUI DPI" settings in "paranoid settings"
Messing with these settings caused some systemUI force closes that caused my notification bar to disappear and the only way to get it back was to do a full wipe and re-install.
Any change to the UI you want to make can be made easily through the "list apps" setting. Just navigate to the "settings" apk and make the LAYOUT "Tablet." Set the Dpi to 190, and it fits perfect. Any app the you want to be "tablet" moded can done this way as well.
Enable "tablet" LAYOUT for nova launcher. Set the DPI to 220. Navigate to "Nova Settins." Go to Destop/Width Margin and set to none. Same with Height Margin. Now go to "Dock" and change the "Width Margin" to none as well.
Now we are able to use all the space on the screen instead of it all being squished together, and you will get the neat tablet "3d blue cube" effect when changing home screens.

Flash over. Since gong to ICS ROMS I always flash over with no issues. Usually I have to flash gapps 9 then 11 and my Maps works fine. I flashed gapps 9 then Hybrid and they were there and worked but then when I rebooted the phone they were gone.
**Edit** Fixed. I had forced Maps into system/app before flashing Jokers then Hybrid and it stuck so there were two apk's. Deleted the one I pushed and rebooted and Maps are back
Flashed this morning, all good here. Tried to apply a cm9 theme and boot loops. So I guess no go for that. Haven't really looked at much other than that, had to wipe and reflash just now.

Also are you restoring the apps from TiBu or from the play store? If you're doing it from TiBu clear the cache on the apps from the application menu in settings.

Have you tried clearing app data for the 2 apps? Also what about going back into recovery wipe cache dalvik cache and fix permissions?
I'm not sure what you mean about not having up stock recovery, to flash clean ROM you still need a custom recovery. Our maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're talking about

Clean flash or dirty??Tried clearing cache, fixing permissions? Have you tried uninstalling re-installing?? Did you check the music folder settings to make sure the correct folders are checked?
I did a dirty flash at first but went back to do a clean one. I have checked the music folder and uninstalled it. I will try fixing permission and other things

after you clean flashed did you restore power amp from titanium backup or fresh install?
Restored it from titanium backup but then I deleted it because it wasn't working. But it still didn't work. I tried clearing my cache didn't do anything. How do I fix the permissions on the app?

you can fix permissions in whatever recovery you are using...twrp or cwr.
best bet may be to un-install it, reboot to recovery, wipe caches, fix permissions, reboot, re-install fresh from the playstore. That should definitely get you running. If not, you may have a bigger issue other than just power amp.
So I tried that and it did not work. I am running beans 12 with blue cheez theme and the addon for it

Not sure what else to suggest. I've never run the blue cheez theme so maybe something with the theme is conflicting. You could try a clean flash of B12 and install power amp first and see if it opens before adding any themes or mods, maybe narrow it down that way. Aside from that I'm out of suggestions but hope you get it. I'm a longtime power amp user and would have a hard time switching
Good luck
I've dirty flashed Beans 12 and I use PowerAmp with no problems. I don't use any theme, though.

I'm on Saber and was on beans stock but I've never had an issue with any kernel and power amp(on any rom or device)
Just to be clear, when you are "clean flashing" you are wiping all including cache, data, and system correct?
Yes doing all of the steps. Everytime I click it to use it. It just shows the poweramp screen and then goes to whatever I was doing before
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
I gave up on PowerAmp myself.
I have the paid version & have never had the slightest problem before with it in many different phone/rom/kernel setups.
Now, running the Beans ROM (v2)/Perseus kernel setup listed in my sig, I can't get PA to display the song list panel anymore.
It will show my music folder on my 64gig card, but on the screen where it should say "songs" that listing is not even there.
I tried everything from fixing permissions, deleting & reinstalling the newest version from the playstore etc. etc.etc. and absolutely NOTHING worked.
It's really weird because both JetAudio & the stock music player work perfectly, so I finally said F it and deleted PA and use one of those apps.
My son is also a long time PA user (he has a Galaxy 3) and he told me has gotten away from using it lately also as some of the latest versions where giving him annoying FC and freezup problems and JetAudio works perfectly for him also.
