I was checking out other launchers yesterday and found Mini Launcher. It seemed pretty cool, has a sidebar that shows weather and recent apps and stuff... anyway, it killed my wifi. I did some research and found a thread on another forum about wpa_supplicant.conf being messed up. It said to delete it and reboot and a new one would be generated. I did. It did. Still didn't work. Uninstalled Mini Launcher and did it again. STILL didn't work.
So today I downloaded a stock rom from XDA, pulled the wap_supplicant.conf file and put it back where it was supposed to go. Bingo... wifi works flawlessly again. I guess this is more of a warning to you if you haven't experienced this before... and as a bonus, here is the file for you...

I'm getting a force close error on com.android.settings any time I try to access the Display settings menu. This thread seems to indicate that a font is to blame, but I only have one font installed (Felbridge FlipFont) and uninstalling it didn't fix the issue.
I use Handcent, which allows you to see all the fonts on your system; several apps have their own fonts, but I don't think they appear in the font picker so I don't think they're to blame. (I've tried uninstalling a few to see if that helps.)
I am using official Vibrant 2.2, installed recently through ODIN. I seem to recall that all apps stayed put when I upgraded except the FlipFont, which I had to redownload. But again, uninstalling the font doesn't do anything, so I'm not sure it's the issue. I'm not rooted either, and I'd be willing to if it would fix this, but I haven't found info yet on rooting froyo for the Vibrant. (I'd rather not root if the problem can be fixed without it...my G1 was rooted but I prefer not to root the Vibrant.)
What else besides a font issue might be causing FC on the Display menu?
ETA: This odd language issue wasn't it either, though that is from the Oxygen ROM discussion area.
I've had that problem on past ROMs, had nothing to do with fonts. My first idea would be to try and fix permissions in ROM Manager or Clockworkrecovery but since you arent rooted I guess those arent options. Only other option I see is to reflash the ROM.
Just reflashed in ODIN and it didn't work. I am going to see about rooting, because I have no idea what else to do!
What rom are you running? Are you installing any themes over top of it?

I'm running KA6, straight from Tmobile. I am using ADW.Launcher and I have a couple of themes installed for it, is that what you mean? I've already tried uninstalling ADW but I didn't uninstall the themes. Will try that now.
I'm fully rooted now, FWIW...first thing I did was kill off the startup sound!
ETA: Removing themes didn't help (if that was even what you meant)
ETA (again): Fix permissions through ROM Manager didn't fix it either. I can't imagine what it would be at this point. Someone on the Tmo forums suggested that perhaps I had uninstalled the font I was using, and I should reinstall it - but I have and it didn't help.
I suppose as problems go, not having access to a single settings screen is minor; the phone is fine otherwise. But still...I'd like to have those settings.
ETA (three!): Found this thread on the Tmo forums where the person has the same problem I do. People suggested a font issue again; one person suggested a factory reset. The OP never replied to say if that worked, so I'm still exploring other options; I'm running Titanium Backup meanwhile in case I do have to reset.
Thanks for your continued thinking on the matter!
Well, this warrants another post, rather than editing.
Apparently I'm an idiot. Somehow I was set to use a font that I had uninstalled. As soon as I remembered having tested the font (refunded, didn't like it), I bought it again, reinstalled, and Display settings came up perfectly.
So it was a font issue. It cost me $1 to fix...oh well. Everything is fine now. Ha!
I have the same problem and am stuck with a FC. I had 5 fonts, uninstalled all 5 of them, no luck. Reinstalled them, yet no luck. After an uninstall, my current font theme did not change, so was wondering how I could change it without going to Settings->Display?
Hey so I flashed DAS BAMF GingerRemix 2.1 yesterday and everything is working fine, the only thing is there was a "Rosie Settings" application in my app drawer when I first flashed the 2.1 and I was able to change the right button to Dolphin Browser instead of the stock browser, but all of a sudden now it's just gone! It isn't in my app drawer, and when I click on the right button nothing happens. It was working fine for a while, I don't know what I did. I tried the one patch Rosie-original-button-replacement but that doesn't do anything. If I go into Astro File Manager and go to system and app I can scroll down and see Rosie Settings but when I click it it says Activity Not Found - com.logicvoid.rosieutility Do I have to change some setting? Did I do something wrong? The part I can't understand is it was working at first and now for some reason it isn't at all. I did a forum search and couldn't find any answers. Please give me some things to try if you know anything. Hopefully I am just being dumb and doing something wrong, because right now I just have a button that doesn't do anything, when it should be opening the internet.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same thing happen to my phone. I didnt try to setup the widget through htc.... i just thought it would be easier to reflash...(which fixed everything).... wish i could give you a reason why you lost rosie....i had a lot of fc's too.... i think it was all tied into restoring everything i had through titanium . i decided to only restore things on an "as needed" basis and haven't had a problem since.
I had that issue with 2.1 standard, but everything was fine with the remix version of GB. I would have stuck with the standard if it wasn't for that. I love the remix, but I hate the notification bar being in black font. hope they fix that soon.
I re-flashed it and everything worked perfectly. But THEN I tried changing the font in das bamf toolkit in the extra section and I must have done something wrong. It said it was going to download, install and re-boot my phone as soon as I clicked the font that I wanted. So I chose the font that I wanted and it turned my phone off, and my phone started re-booting and it never got past the first screen where it says HTC and the background is white. It stayed like that for over an hour so I pulled the battery and re-tried and the same thing happened, it just never got past the HTC part. So I pulled the battery and launched into bootloader so that I could go into recovery mode and hopefully re-flash and make everything all better. But NO! I forgot that I accidentally still have the PG05IMG.zip file on my sd card from when I flashed the GB radio, so it instantly wants to do an update and my only two options are to do the update and re-boot (which did nothing) or to just re-boot the phone. So I brought the phone to verizon and they took one look at it and saw that it wouldn't turn on and gave me a new phone. I just really hope that they dont look into it and see that I rooted it and void my waranty and make me have to pay for the full price of the phone. ANyways looking back now I realize that I probably could have gotten a micro sd card reader, put it in my computer, deleted the PG05IMG.ZIP file, and gotten into bootloader and into recovery and re-flashed the rom. But whatever, it is what it is.

Hi all, first of all, I understand this is my first post and I'm already asking for help and I understand I may have posted this in the incorrect thread, however, today I purchased a the Arnova 10.1 for my fiancée, I had a look at the arctools I see people talking about on forums here and there but it just doesn't work. Am I doing something wrong, am I looking at the wrong forums or searching the wrong things for my tablet.
Basically I'm just hoping someone else has got the same tablet and knows what they're doing, if this is you, I just want to know if I can successfully get the market running and some secondary launcher (ADW, Launcher Pro etc) running without any hickups, also, is root possible? Can CM7 be successfully be installed on the 10.1 and any other cool stuff wouldn't go a miss...
Arctools works, atleast worked for me.
I am like a noob on this tablet. Got it like 2 days back. Turned on wifi, went into arctools, selected the version stock with root, then clicked download, and then it went about installing it. I remember having to leave it at some junk screen while it rebooted twice before showing me home screen on third boot up.
Then I realized one thing: the google apps that weren't installed were installed at this time, with the reason being now the tablet is rooted.
So maybe cos your tablet isn't rooted yet, that app is kinda useless. Some options didn't work for me either, but I am happy it installed a custom rooted rom and installed the base market app and other apps.
I am currently using GoLauncher.
Installed Tibu, and deleted/froze the apps I don't want like stock launcher, etc.
Their have been several reports of the widget engine crashing on some ICS ROM's in the developers forums. From what I have found out is an issue with the layout of the screen this is causing the issue. I you notice, the widgets that have a 5x size are the ones that are crashing. Lets use Jorte Calendar as an example. Install Jorte and try to load a widget, it crashes. Ok, now go into Jorte setting > widget setting, and make all the 5x widget unavailable. Problem solved. This problem does not exist in other launchers, on in the default launcher.
I would have posted this in the developers forum, but I am new to this forum.
The development area would've been the wrong place to put this. Due to the fact that that section is for dev's to post their creations and such.
As for your problem I am not sure. I couldn't open then personalize tab when I was running ICS. Usually a reboot fixed that problem though.

You must not have understood my post. The developers do not know what the problem is. I was stating that I have a clue of what the problem is.
The problem lye's in the way the launcher deals with widgets that are too big for the screen. When the launcher tries to access a widget that is too big for the screen layout (4x4), the widget engine crashes instead of ignoring the over sized widgets.
Our threads differ a little bit. I'm making a list of bad apps, while you got a potential solution. you may want to PM a dev. they can work magic
Okay. THanks
I have only experienced the widget FC on one custom ROM. I believe it had something to do with one of the apps I installed, because it worked fine until I started downloading applications from the market. I tried a few times to reflash to pin point, but I didn't have a lot of time to see if that was the main cause of the issue.
personalize problems in ICS
I finally gave up on ICS yesterday after struggling for a week with problems with personalizing screens. I tried to narrow the problem down to specific apps, but eventually concluded that it was not caused by specific apps involving widgets. Every time that I downloaded more than a half-dozen apps from the market, I would start getting the "unfortunately, personalize has stopped working" messages, preventing me from adding any further apps to home screens. I could continue adding widgets or shortcuts, but not apps. Not even rebooting helped, and I would end up having to re-flash the ROM and start all over. It seemed to depend on the number of market apps that I downloaded, not necessarily the specific app. Even apps without widgets such as quickboot would cause the crash after the first half-dozen apps were downloaded.

Joelz latest sense rom has a fix included that will eliminate this problem. It completely worked for me, and I was having it big time.
Thanks, I will check that out. You are TheMan!
Edit: actually, it was his ROM that I was using when I had all the problems. It was ICS Sense Redefined-Always Brilliant![Sense 3.6][4.0.3]. I could never get past the personalize problem to add more than a few app short cuts.
even after jolez fix im having problems on scotts rom... i had no problem on his 2.3 but when i flashed his 2.4 all hell broke lose... i cant even some apps from the market like engadget? and no i havent done any other modding except installing apps?
anyone have any ideas bc right now i only have about 20 apps installed that actually work
Same here. Lots of FC's and some apps don't work.

I had to bail on ICS after struggling mightily to resolve the personalize problem, and I was scared to death about bricking the brand new phone after fighting the mainver problem seeking a return to stock root. Luckily, I found the RezRom GB Rom that includes an automatic fix for reversion from ICS. I highly recommend it, though I quickly nandroided back to stock root. I will be going back to RezRom this weekend when I have more time to tweak it.
The FC's of Sense and personalization appears to be related to apps installed on the SD Card.
Go into settings > apps > on phone (2nd tab) and uncheck any apps that have a check mark and move them to the phone.
If you have none checked and still getting the FC's then for sure I am wrong.
^ but none of mine are on the SD card?
Getting it on cleanROM 3.0 for the first time, no apps on sd card.

Hello,
I'm writing because I've seen this issue since a longer time on my phone.
When I restart sometimes some random app is missing. Thing is when I restart again the app is back in the list and works fine.
I think some time ago I found others having similar issues somewhere hidden in other links on Google but I can't find them anymore for the same of this thread x_x
Normally people seem to have trouble with (all) apps on sd card disappearing after reboot. I don't use that feature; I install everything on internal memory and it is always some other app (random). And the app returns working normally after restart.
Note: the missing app I see missing normally through the system itself, as the app is not listed under apps. So nova launcher and others also do not display it.
Anyone seen this too?
I noticed that titanium backup restores the missing app fine and then the app works without a restart. Also I checked the directory /data/app and also found the apk of the missing app.
How does android get the available apps on boot and how would it forget some of them? And how to fix...?
I'm on android 4.4 (slimkat) on Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with leankernel.
Thanks!

Hi , did you tried to flash stock firmware with odin or SmartSwitch and see if the apps are missing again ?
Sorry, I was absent and did not receive a message for this thread.
Thank you for your reply!
Well, it is hard to see. I'm happy with this rom so I'm having a difficult time using other roms. I cannot recall having this on another rom I used before for a few months (bobcat rom, based on Kitkat Samsung stock).
It might be worth reinstalling the current rom for testing. Seeing everything up though takes its time though.
I was kinda hoping someone had that experience and pointed to something like some xposed module which I love. It is not easy to test because I mostly do not know/notice there is an app missing. Just sometimes my quick settings times with the apps show "error". Then I know something is wrong. So easily weeks pass by until I find this again...
