I notice when you keep your Wifi On for so long (I use wifi for more then 5 hours) then Launcher (no matter what launcher you use, i tried Stock launcher, modified, xperis s/t/gx & Go Launcher ex) stop updating the widgets information, ie, the Time widget don't update the time & weather widget don't update the weather information. they remain stuck unless I forcefully restart the launcher.
is that a bug related to ICS & Sony Rom ?
anyone else notice the bug ? or Im missing something ?

maybe problem is from your ROM. if you use custom ROMs , use a stable one, like Pureness v 14 or Jellysandwich.
and if you are on official sony update , maybe a it is a bug .
I use Stock Rom.
Just want to make sure, is it related to Sony Stock ICS or just me ?

I am on Custom ROM and don't have such a problem.so i am not sure about stock ROM, but you can try a custom ROM, and if problem does not solved , its you
Thanks for the suggestion,
personally, i don't like any of the Custom Rom. they all have some problems/lags.
I can try Jelly sandwich or pureness but again, they both are based on Stock Rom !
I also experienced same bug, why/when it happen I don't know, didn't found pattern. But now that you mention WiFi, will check it.
I remember I experience that but some long time ago, and I always restarted phone to fix it, now I just leave it for a min or two, and it start refreshing again.

It was so annoying to find out what was the problem, I just keep eye on every Application & Launcher one by one I checked all the application & different launcher. & figure it out, its Wifi causing the problem. keep the wifi On for 1 hour and your widgets stop updating.
how did you fix it ?

I am currently running the OTA 2.1 rooted rom.. been liking it, but not LOVING sense anymore.. seems to just lag a lot.
Im trying to find a rom that has the following:
The HTC weather/clock widget. (i love this.. dont know why)
Working google maps/nav
working Live wallpapers with jcase's opengl patch.
working/non crashing google voice.
facebook integration / maybe friendstream?
flan lock screen (or working lock 2.0.. I found with sense and lock 2.0 it was always buggy/laggy when the phone would ring.. no matter how many times I tried to unlock it i would miss the call)
has anyone seen this all in a rom? would love some suggestions.

well you cannot get rid of sense and have the htc weather widget. there are vanilla roms (which removes ALL sense related items) but you would lose the weather you want. there is also a senseless theme you can apply to any rom to remove sense related stuff. errors i have seen with jcase's opengl patch mess up navi. i had lwp for a few days and removed it as it just eats away battery and does lag the phone up.
you can get the n1 lock screen on any ROM as all you have to do is delete the htclockscreen.apk and it will give you that. you just need to flash to all the differnt ROMS, make NAND backups of the ones you like and find one that fits you and then keep it. i flash almost daily as these devs keep putting sick ass ROMs out, but I am currently at aloyious v6 as i need nav and dont care for lwp. but he does have a version out that does have lwp and not nav. so you do have a choice.
So Far today I have flashed:
Vanilla Rom - didnt have the htc clock.. I really like that.. After reading some more I came across the same conclusion, if I want the htc clock.. I need sense.
loaded up jcase's patch for opengl.. ran wallpapers for about 20 min, and yep.. had enough... I guess I do really like sense?
EvilEris1.1 - google login bug - that was a show stopper for me, other than that it seemed fast.
Sensable 2.0 - Currently playing with and the only issue I have had so far is that the text in the dialer is grey and you can barely read it.
Im going to make a nandroid backup of this one and try aloyious v6
IS there a way to name the nandroid backups? it uses the date as the name. would love something a little more intuative.
Thanks for the response and the tips.
Yes, you can change the name. Just plugin your phone via USB and hit mount and then go to the NAND directory. There will be another dir and then just open that one and then all your NAND backups will be there. I name mine after each one as I cannot remember which ROM I flashed before which.
Also, dont forget to wipe data and dalvik when going back to a NAND backup.

Ok, cool.. I didnt know if it needed the DIR name to be the date in order to work.. I was working off a spreadhseet with
THIS DIR = THIS ROM
Sooo much easier now
Thank you again.
Seeing how the time is on the lockscreen and also in the not. bar, I decided that I could live without the flip clock taking up half of my home screen. Here's what I did.
Flashed Eris_Official 0.81T2
Flashed Senless patch
falshed Nexus One patch
flashed Nexus Launcher Wtih LP's patch.
Now I enjoy a mostly vanilla rom, with the HTC dialer, nexus launcher and live wallpapers and it's smooth as butter and bug free.

How about google maps navigation? I keep reading about the nav bug with live wallpapers.
I've heard that too, but haven't noticed a problem.

Running Blackhole 4.4 w/Black Alien 2.2 theme, got everything set the way I liked it with Launcher Pro Plus, then on battery pull with a SetCPU related lockup all my LP widgets are gone, as well as all launcher pro icons, and now it says I don't have an unlock key installed. Gone through and checked, uninstalled and re-downloaded unlocker, tried everything short of another flash. Anyone know what's causing this? Second time I've had it happen today, I'm rather tired of re-flashing and reorganizing everything at this point.
I had the same issue and asked LP. They replied with the following:
"You can solve this issue by using a root explorer and erasing /dbdata/databases/com.fede.launcher"
I did this and it worked. You will need to rekey the unlock code. This can be obtained by saying you forgot the code on the phone and they will send it to your email.

Launcher pro does have a few issues I use it and every other time when I reboot my phone I either have to task kill it or it force closes. Its the only launcher that does it but its the most complete launcher in my opinion. Although I wish someone would make a gingerbread standard launcher that's able to use custom homescreen iconS.
Does anyone know a way to change the default Samsung lockscreen to a stock ICS look without using a secondary lockscreen app like WidgetLocker or Go Locker?
I have been using WidgetLocker for the past couple of days, and have ran into a couple of problems. First of all, it doesn't play well with Juice Defender, if I disable the stock lockscreen. Juice Defender believes the phone is unlocked and continues to keep data/wifi enabled. If I leave the stock lockscreen enabled, and the "Retain System Keyguard" on, Juice Defender disables data/wifi correctly, but about 25% of the time, I have to unlock the phone twice to get back to my homescreen.
Obviously, replacing the Samsung lockscreen with a stock ICS one would solve all of these problems. I found this over on the S2 forum. Would this work, or does it need a custom ROM to work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538828
I just rolled a CWM zip, had to change things a little different than the thread you referenced, but it was pretty easy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24741986
I have no idea how to enable the lockscreen I've tries everything I have to use go locker, I just want to use the stock lock screen can someone help me

Wow, thanks! Going to try this out now.
Ok probably be flamed for bringing this up... But, I have been looking for a sensible solution to my redraw problems... All these 'fixes' seem more of a placebo effect. I have been forced by Sky to use the Stock ROM but touchwiz redraws after almost everything! The phone works great on custom ROMS but I can't use them. Am I expecting to much from this phone? Or does anyone know a way I can use apps that are root protected/stock kernel on a custom ROM?
The redraw is a Samsung/Touchwiz problem. It's not a memory problem. Even when I had the North American versions with 2GB of RAM, Touchwiz still had redraw issues. It's on Samsung to sort it out.
You can always download Nova Launcher from the Play Store and use it instead of Touchwiz.
I get the redraw issue with Touchwiz & Nova launcher, quite freqently as well, anyone else?

I get it so frequently its actually making this phone a chore to use, especially when it starts offsetting my wallpaper & i have to re apply it. I just hope Samsung sort this out, who knows maybe in the Jelly Bean update heh?

I didn't get the wallpaper offsetting, my problem was every time I went back to home all my folders would re-draw, did my head in and made was a wee bit embarrassing when showing it off! So tried Nova Launcher, loved it, went Prime to support Dev, had re-draw in app draw a few times. I then thought it might be down to the amount of apps I had, so made groups with Nova Launcher which helped a lot!
Now I'm running AR HD 2.1.1 since yesterday and not had a re-draw once....also a quick tip I picked up change your Animations from 1x to 0 in developer settings, this may reduce the re-draw!
The only way I found that worked for me was to use the ICS OOM Priority Charger. It needs root and is for deodexed roms, but I diffed the changes and applied them to the original XXBLG8 odexed services.odex

How did you proceed? Did upload your services.odex file then put it back at the same place using root explorer? I thought it was only for deodexed roms. Anyone can confirm its working ?
Hello guys,
I newly installed Android 4.4.2 with Cyanogenmod 11 on my s2 and I am facing some problems. First to say is that I use the PhilZ Kernel v5.15.9 and Cyanogenmod-version 11-20140418-NIGHTLY-i9100. The Trebuchet Launcher is making some problems. Every time I restart the device some widgets and shortcuts on the home screen are removed and the screens are reset to a shortcut order of a certain time. Same with the app drawer, if I want them to be arranged by date installed, the setting will go back to sort by name after a restart. In addition the music player is having some flaws and will not start a song, or just completely crash. I know these are just minor problems and I am happy in general about 4.4.2 on my S2, I just want to know if these problems are normal, and if, when it can be thought that they will be corrected? Do you recommend me using a other launcher, as I have read that the trebuchet launcher in cm11 is not done yet, while the launcher from cm10.2 had much more setting options.
I have another question regarding "Snapshot". Is it a rom, similiar to the nightly kit kat versions? What advantages/disadvantages does it have?
Best regards,
Haris

I also had problems with Trebuchet, but they are different and major. The launcher suddenly stops working and I have to reboot my phone.

I installed Google Now Launcher because it is almost the same, but then switched to Nova when I found it even better (in my opinion).

The snapshot is supposed to be a more stable version of the nightly. But in this case specifically, I flashed the snapshot yesterday, and I didn't have except problems from it. I don't recommend installing it. I don't get a single notification, something is wrong with the power button (doesn't get all options, only reboot and power off), and the Home button doesn't work at all, not even a long press. If the nightly version you are on now is good, don't update.
