Lock screen issues.

So I just installed bamf forever 1.0.4 and the new lock screens that have the 4 shortcut icons at the bottom aren't appearing. So basically the lock screen just has the time and nothing else.. sorry if this isn't specific enough. Thanks for any help in advance!

Did you go to settings/personalize/lock screen and choose a new lock screen? the settings for choosing your shortcuts are there...

Ya I tried that it still didn't change anything. It used to work, I'm not sure what I could have done to mess it up
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
Hmm... By "mess it up" I will assume that means you didn't mod your rom or do any 'experimenting' either. If so, I got nuthin. Other than post this on the thread for your custom rom dev and see if they can help you there. Other than that, I'd say revert to your last back up you made of your phone.
However, if you DO come up with a solution, post it here. I'd like to know! Good luck!

If you use Titanium Backup you should be able to save all apps to reload after your wipe. Haven't used it yet myself, but I have seen many posts on this site saying to use this app for just that purpose...

Chances are good you are missing your keystr file. The fix has been discussed dozens of times. Please search for this. I should note you will need to be rooted to fix this. If you don't want to root, you will have to go back to gingerbread.

Are you talking about this, or this? (they actually appear to be the same thing)
It's mentioned in both threads that the "DSP Manager" app doesn't work with the stock music app. Are you trying to use it with the stock music app?
I dont know which one..both seem the same..and no.. Using poweramp

Then I surely don't know. Try posting your question in one of those two threads I linked. One of the threads DOES have a post that says you need to start DSP Manager before you start Poweramp. But I don't have either, so I'm not really qualified to answer questions on either.
Ok

With root explorer you can delete fotaclient.apk in system/apps, if that is what you mean.

I had this same problem on my droid X. What I did is, I used TB to freeze the "updater". This stopped the alerts and prevented me from updating to Gingerbread, which I did not want ( I wanted to stay on Froyo).

I think it is FWUpgrade 1.2.0 on the S3 that you could freeze.
BTW what was so great about froyo, gingerbread was much better imo.

[Q] Galaxy S3 I9300 got stuck/freezes

Hi everybody.
I got a problem with my S3 I9300.
The thing is that it is stuck/freezes very frequently during the day.
Sometimes it doesn't wake up from deep sleep (neither if I hit the home button nor the power on/off button) and sometimes it just reboots and I have to enter the SIM PIN.
I really have no clue what the hell is wrong - it worked like a charme until this thing started (about one week ago).
After I reboot the device it is working for ... I cannot say exactly. Hours? Minutes?
During the night it seems like there is no problem - because if it would freeze/reboot I would not hear my alarm :laugh:
It is rooted and Cyanogenmod 10.1 is running on it (nightly build from the 28th of April).
Are there any logfiles on the system were I can take a look at or something like this? Something is happening and I want to find out what exactly and how to prevent it from happening.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

I've already "flashed"/updated to the newest Cyanogenmod release without success.
But I can give it a try with another ROM/Stock ROM.
Thanks so far.
Have you tried on Settings>Developer Options to disable all animations?
You can also try Greenify app (for rooted phones only) it's disables unnecessary processes.
And by the way don't forget to clean your cache (you can use Clean Master app for that)

Hi Simonna,
thanks - I'll give it a try.
I'll also test if the issue is still persistent with AOKP ROM. If it is, I will try the Stock ROM.
Many thanks so far.

Manuel
I flashed to the current AOKP ROM some days ago and I have to say it is running really smooth and stable. Just had one hang and this may has been caused by an app. Maybe something was wrong/faulty with the file system or something.
Furthermore thanks for the "Greenify"-App hint. This is app is brilliant!
