All of a sudden I have no icons on my home screen, only labels. I can still launch programs by touching where the icons should be but they are all invisible. My lock screen has only pink squares where the shortcuts should be as well. I have tried changing themes and Icons but to no effect. Has anyone else run into this?
if you would post a little more info
like what rom are you using,did you flash any mods,etc that will help pin point what the problem is and how best to fix it

This is on Viper 3.0.1. No mods installed other than what is in the Viper Customizer app. I was installing apps after (finally) getting my 3g data working, went back to the home screen, no icons. I have just tried fixing permissions, clearing caches, and wiping data for Sense. I'm unsure what the Sense UI actually shows up as under Apps or Titanium Backup so I wiped data on pretty much everything that said 'Sense'. No go :/
try reflashing the rom without wiping anything(dirty flash) if that doesnt work then rewipe stsyem and reflash rom
They might still have ICS icons in their hub, that can f*ck up a lot of ish...

If you have task manager open it up press refresh. Then press stop all. See if it brings your widgets back.

Hey guys,
Is there a way to get the stock HTC Lockscreen back?
I flashed the lockscreendelete zip from Grdlocks all in one script. This is working good.
However, i would like to try the other stuff out there, like the rotarylockscreen.
But i flash it and nothing happens... I'm assuming it's because i alreday messed with it.
Am i right that I need to have the stock lockscreen to be able to flash these other lockscreens?
Or can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you!
The HTC lock screen is actually not stock, but their custom creation. The rotary and slide vanilla lock screens are the ones that come with Android. So you do not need the HTC lock screen to get the rotary one. In fact, you need to remove it.
The stock screens are controlled by some java classes in you android.policy.jar file. Those classes control which lock screen you see when you remove the HTC one. If you flashed something and it did not work, try clearing your cache from recovery and see if that helps. If not, use your NAND backup and try again. It is also possible that the mod is not compatible with your ROM.
I attached the HTC lock screen in case you wanted it back.
Awesome. Thaks for the info.
I actually tried the ones from your thread also... with no luck.
So you think putting the HTC lockscreen back on wont help? I guess since they weren't working, i just thought i had to get it back to the way it was to get these new lockscreens to work.
By clearing cache, do you mean dalvik cache?
I have never done that without flashing a new rom. I wont screw anything up?
Wiping the cache will not mess anything up. Your phone will just rebuild it when it boots again. You may want to try that before putting the lock screen back. Nonetheless, if it does not help, I would revert to your backup instead.
Is there a zip file with the vanilla lockscreen, but either without the clock or a non-transparent background? I tried the lockscreen that cableguynoe was talking about from the all-in-one script, but I hate how the lock's clock gets jumbled up with my home screen's clock. Thanks!
Edit: I found ihtfp69's thread about the vanilla lockscreen with non-transparent background. Gonna give that a try. Thanks.
Edit2: Yes, it worked! That's awesome!
Ok, so I replaced the screeen, but I can't turn off my alarm clock! I'm running Ivan's Official Eris 1.0 Rom. Do I have to use the stock alarm clock, instead of the Sense clock? How/where can I do that? Thanks!

That is one of the problems of this lockscreen. Alarm is whack.
You'll have to use a seperate alarm app.
ihtft69 might have fixed this problem with these lockscreens:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694906
However, back to my original post, it's not working for me.
CAn you give them a try please and let me know if it works for you? I need to knwo if I'm doing something wrong or if there's a step missing in going from one vanilla lockscreen to another...

ooops.
Hadn't seen your edit.
So you went from the lockscreen in the all in one script to the ones with a backround?

If you ran my script, open up your apps drawer. There should be one (or two) called Clock. It is the one with a square-ish shaped icon and a light background with no digits in the clock face. Open it up. This is a vanilla desk clock (not the HTC one). Use the alarms in there instead. They work correctly with the vanilla lock screen.

Yes, that's the clock I was looking for. Thank you for that awesome script!

Yes, I used the script and I put in my own background. I would post up my background, but I have some limit on my new membership here...
Howdy..I use ADW and for the primary reason of having the transparent theme for the app drawer. (I'm on Z's CM7 and there's no transparent theme ). If my finger lingers a split second too long on one of the dock icons it goes into edit mode and then I have to reboot to get my dockbar back to normal. A couple times i've been able to drag the dockbar back but lately i can't seem to and have to reboot.
Does anyone know what i'm talking about and if there's anything that can be done? I like adw and just hate having to reboot this often..i probably do it once per day
I guess in CM rom you have ADB settings menu. Just backup your settings everytime and you can restore it if you mess up.

Simple yet effective. Thanks
Had a chance to try this and it doesn't work
Thinking I might just switch back to Lancherpro.
New guy question...
I have installed many different superlte revisions but every installation is always the same, when I create a folder on the home screen the name does not show up. I have tried with different mods and no mods but the result is always the same. Anyone else experience this and know how to resolve? Love the rom but that drives me nuts.
I would imagine in the aroma Rosie options ( 4x4, 4x5, etc) you should be able to select one with app text on the home screen. Check if that solves your issue.

Hi all,
I've been having this problem since yesterday. My notifcation bar has vanished, apart from on my lockscreen and when I have exDialer running. I have done a cache wipe, dalvik wipe, fixed permissions, and reinstalled my ROM (Paranoid Android). I dont really want to do a full wipe as I'd lose all my apps. Is there any other way, or is the only option to do a clean install?
Thanks

Sounds like a launcher setting.Try and search in the launcher settings an option to hide/show notification bar.

I wish it were that simple. I'm using nova, and have already checked for that. Deselected, selected, you name it. Doesnt work.
its still functioning btw. On my lockscreen I see it, and as I enter my home screen, it rolls up. Same thing, on exDialer its there, but when i switch to home, it rolls up again. Uninstalled the launcher, using another launcher etc, does nothing.
Try to hold the option button for a few seconds when you are on your homescreen.
It's a option in nova to hide the notification bar.

I use Nova Launcher as my launcher and recently tried using widget locker in place of the sony lockscreen. However, one issue I ran into is that I am unable to change the lockscreen wallpaper.
Anyone else using the app having similar issues?
Thanks in advance:good:

I am facing the same problem even with stock launcher. Older version of WidgetLocker, namely 2.3.2r1, works fine on my Sony Tablet Z SGP-321 on Android 4.4. But all the new versions do not set lockscreen wallpaper. When I click "Look & Feel", "Select Wallpaper", choose the wallpaper I want, but then nothing happens, and the screen returns to WidgetLocker settings without having changed the lockscreen wallpaper. I do not understand what the issue is. If some one could advise, that would be nice!

I tried all that (deleting data and cache and even factory reset) and it wouldn't work, drove me crazy.
Am on a SM-T525 and without widget locker I had two different wallpapers for home and lock screen, while widget locker always took the set system home wallpaper, totally ignoring the alternate wallpaper flag.
I used root explorer and manually put my lock screen wallpaper in data\data\com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker\files\wallpaper.png and now it works.
Make sure it has the right dimensions (in my case 2500x1600) and the naming is right (so wallpaper.png and not Wallpaper.png).
Can't believe this is the only way to do this actually but am happy for now.
Good luck!

Thanks a lot! At least some sort of solution!!!
Some time after...
Tried this trick with wallpaper.png substitution - doesn't work for me. And once again, strangely enough, WidgetLocker v. 2.3.2r1 DOES work, but sometimes behaves weirdly on KitKat.

Mmm... Did you delete all cache? Also resetting other apps that might still have settings towards the wallpaper (like other launchers) to default?
And then disable and re-enable widgetlocker must work. I am on 4.4.2 myself with latest Widgetlocker

How exactly should I clear cache and/or data? For WidgetLocket I can clear cache and data.Should I clear both?
As for launcher I am using Nova Launcher. There I can clear cache, data and defaults. I assume if I clear data I will loose all the setting, i.e. screens layout, and I don't want to do that.
Here are the steps I take:
1. Turn off WL
2. Clear its cache AND data
3. Put wallpaper.png into the folder you told me
4. Launch WL (I see my current homescreen wallpaper and NOT the wallpaper.png)
5. Check "Alternative Wallpaper" (without actually clicking "Select Wallpaper")
6. Click home to return to homescreen.
7. Turn off screen.
When I wake the tablet up I still see my homescreen wallpaper and not the wallpaper.png.
Maybe I am doing something in a wrong sequence?
Another guess is the difference between your Sams GT and my Sony Tablet Z.

Hey
Am sorry it's such a drag, I felt very frustrated too (and still am, as it should work just all out of the box).
I would clear cache and data and then copy the file first, make sure it's correct and it's there and then disable and re-enable WL, as it reads that .png when it's re-activated.
Can I ask you, when you disable WL do you have a different lock and home screen? So via system settings just setting 2 different wallpapers for home and lock screen, are they different then?
Also, is your .png file ok, what I mean is does it show in Gallery if you select it? Sorry if I'm stating out the obvious
Personally I cleared cache via Application Manager and that should be enough, and yes, I also cleared WL data and had to reorganize all.
I don't know if op found the solution, but an older version of wl (2.3) worked for my Galaxy tab 2.

Yes. If I disable WL, I can set different wallpapers for lockscreen and home screen via system settings. The problem is that if you do it via system the wallpaper for lockscreen needs to be of very weird resolution as Google wants to use it both for landscape and portrait mode, while I just want it to be of 1920x1200 for landscape.
Also, is your .png file ok, what I mean is does it show in Gallery if you select it? Sorry if I'm stating out the obvious

Well, it doesn't open from data\data\com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker\files. But if I copy the file from there to my SD card - it shows in gallery as proper image.
In conclusion, I still don't manage to get WL to pick up wallpaper.png from data\data\com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker\files.
I've now updated to Android 4.4.4 and did factory reset. Damn thing still not setting alternative wp! ((
