ok, so this has been happening forever, and I've just lived with it, but when I moved to ADW Launcher EX I have an issue where tapping dock icons doesn't always launch properly. Its not a screen issue, because the icon highlights when its pressed, and stuff not on the dock works fine. I often have to hit it a few times to launch email, drawer, etc.
any ideas?

I have had that issue on different ROMs. Haven't seen it on CM7 however and I'm unsure why. I just assumed it was buggy and didn't worry about it. after a couple presses it would usually launch.
do the default buttons give you the same issue, like X for exit and such? That'll tell you it's not related to the programming of the button or the program itself.

+1 why would anyone take the update knowing they will kill your root and most likely sbf path. CM7 or Eclipse before its to late

yeah, its only the dock icons, and only sometimes. annoying but livable which is why I finally got around to asking

two reasons, one is I like to try different things and tinker with the phone, and the other is that nobody really knows what the update is. All that fear is just speculation. Its even likely correct, but now that the soak has never come nobody really knows now do they?
Obviously stock isn't ideal for folks like us, but I've got it tarted up and customized enough that I was OK with it that way waiting for the soak, and would have been OK with it if I was stuck that way for a month or two until somebody found a workaround.
Brave last words lol.

Long-pressing home stops bringing up "recent apps" after awhile (completely stock)
Hey folks -
Long-pressing the home/Verizon button will usually bring up the recent apps window with the task manager and other buttons on it. However, after some time, it stops working and doesn't bring up anything until I reboot the phone. But it keeps happening over and over again, kinda annoying. Has anyone had the same experience? Any known fixes? I feel the haptic feedback from it too... :-/
Thanks!

Yeah, I am currently running Beans v7, but I experienced the same issue on stock ROM also. I thought maybe going to Beans it would subside, but had no luck there.

Do you use a launcher? I had this issue with Nova. I used my nandroid and it fixed whatever issue I had. I was messing around with some of my settings though.

I'm just using Touchwiz currently, but I do have some launchers installed.. Should I just remove those and see what happens? ....I haven't messed around with too much, but I'm glad that someone else had the same experience and actually fixed it! I'll try to remove the other launchers and see if it happens.. If you have any other techniques, please do let me know.
I can tell you that I'm using Nova Prime & have never had that problem........
I had this issue too on stock. Im on beans b7 and havent had an issue (but I go to my recent apps with LMT pie so im not too sure it's fixed)
A reboot fixed the problem. Weird issue though

I don't think removing the launchers will fix it. Maybe just try freezing them if you had TB. I ended up just restoring from a nandroid and haven't had the issue since.
I am also using Nova Prime.
Hi all,
I installed the latest official firmware from Samsung which was rolled out officially in Spain, and I wanted to take the opportunity to share two things that bother me:
1.) Lock screen shortcuts: any shortcut app on the lock screen (e. g. camera, flash light) still asks for the PIN. I thought the idea of the shortcuts was to avoid having to type in the PIN for non-security-related apps ...
2.) Keyboard language switching: the space bar wiping for switching the language is really nice, BUT: voice typing does not use the same language as the one specified for typing! When I go to voice typing, even worse, I have to select the language I want to dictate two times, the first time will not be recognized!
Ok, hopefully I am wrong but I rather doubt it... if anybody can confirm these things please let me know!

Well....lockscreen freeze on leak jb, that's a bug.
Shortcuts: PIN code selected as lockscreen security? If so, make sense that it'll prompt.
KB language: Got no idea, never used it.

If it's not a bug, what is the benefit? Suppose I have the flashlight app on my homescreen. If I want to access it I have to do:
- enter PIN
- tap on the icon
Now, with the great new lockscreen shortcuts, I do:
- tap on the icon
- enter the PIN
What's the benefit of the lock screen shortcuts, anyone?
What's the benefit of setting your lockscreen to ask you for a PIN number?
So that people can't access to your device.
Shorcuts play the same role.

Yes, the benefit of the PIN is security. I did not understand the rest of your answer.
As far as I understand, the widgets and shortcuts on the lock screen of the pure Android Jelly Bean, as it is installed on the Nexus 4, is the following: you can access some applications even without entering your PIN. This makes totally sense for some non-security related applications like the flashlight, or the music player. In the Samsung Jelly Bean adoption, I still have to enter the PIN code - so what's the sense of the shortcut then?
If something is not working as it is intended it is a bug. To me, this is a bug. Where can I file a bug report for the Samsung Jelly Bean?

On htc sense is the same. Has been since 2011 on Sense 3.
It's not a bug. No point reporting it, it makes sense, why would you set a password but apps can be opened from shortcuts?

So, what's the point of the shortcuts then? I don't see why it is faster to first press the icon and then enter the PIN, compared to first entering the PIN and then pressing the icon.
So you don't want anyone that hasn't your PIN code to use your phone, but you also don't mind them using whatever apps you got shorcuted on your lockscreen?
That's how you want your phone's security to work?

Galaxy S2 Omega v19.2 FC during charge
Hi all,
I have just installed the omega v19.2 rom and found a bug. If I put the USB cable to the phone (charger or my PC, does not matter) and let it switch off itself automatically, then I can not switch on the device again, have to pull out the battery and restart again. If I switch off the screen with the power button during charging than it does not freeze, i can switch it on again. Any solution?

I'm not sure if anyone else experiences this, but when I install any release of carbon, the home button doesn't work. It isn't just a hardware problem, even with the touch screen nav bar enabled, the home button still doesn't work. I have formatted everything. The browser opens and closes immediately, the status bar toggle menu won't show, and the lock screen doesn't show. This rom looks amazing, but it seems like i have some rare problem that hasn't been brought up before.
These problems are still active even in LiquidSmooth. I will be trying other AOKP based roms later.

I'm using carbon now and I don't have those issues. I was using liquid with no issues until the recent update, now my browser closes when trying to view flash content.
Carbon has several versions for different devices. Make sure you're using the one for your device.

I'm using this version: i605. I've only seen this problem being mentioned once before. I really want this rom:/ guess I'll go back to pacman. Do you know any other 4.2.2 rom that is stable, and has the camera in the lockscreen?

No I don't, sorry. I don't use the special lockscreen features.
You can try rootbox.
I'm having the same issue. Home screen button is not working and lock screen isn't either. When I hit the home button on the nav bar it shows as being hit but nothing happens. It's driving me nuts.

I recently switch to a 4.4.4 ROM which doesn't have the side bar tab to bring up the window bar. I always used to set my long back press to kill app and did so again without thinking. Now I can't get MW to open, I've tried resetting to default and still nothing. Is there a way to fix this?

I figured it out, it was Gravity Box, apparently I can't change any buttons or it overrides the long back press to open MW. However in trying to solve one problem I think I created another. At the time I didn't realize GB was causing the problem and I wanted to have my settings to go back to default, my ROM dev recommended a dirty flash. My MW issue has been resolved but now Xposed seems like it doesn't have full root access. Root works for everything else, and a lot of Xposed features are working, but certain things (write to SD, GB's Smart Radio, GB's Status Bar icon color change to name a few) won't work/changes don't stick. The GB options are greyed out even after clicking On. I've tried uninstalling SuperSU updated and reinstalling, and fully uninstalling/reinstalling Xposed but nothing has worked so far. Any suggestions?

I finally found a solution for this, installing this app gives you a MW toggle that you could assign to a button or gesture in case anyone else ever has this issue
