Still not working on Galaxy S5 - Themer General Discussion

So a few months ago I posted a thread saying that themer beta does not work on my new galaxy s5. Till this day it still does not work and got no answer on how to fix it. When I select a them it says loading, and all of a sudden the phone turns black. The buttons highlight for about 3 secs and stop. I then completely turn off the phone. After that it starts up without the samsung boot icon and takes me directly to the Verizion boot icon, where it freezes and I have to remove the battery and put it back in. Any help!?!?
It also seems other people are having this problems on other phones like the HTC One M8. They say it's from the new update.

I'm using a galaxy s5 and it works perfectly.

Im Using S5, also working perfectly for me

Hi,
What Android version/root status/ROM are you using?

Hi deathadder,
Do other launchers work fine or is it just Themer that is giving this issue?
Can you please contact [email protected], and explain your situation. We've notified the developers and they should be able to address this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Other launchers work fine. Sorry for late reply, but some themes work. Others crash my phone. I have only had one theme that has worked. The launcher works, but some of the themes don't.

[Q] Lock Screen Bug

Hi Devs and Noobs,
I had gone through various posts on the same title. But looks like my problem is different from theirs.
I had recently purchased my SGH -I777. With stock ROM, I faced a mystic behavior.
I had set the password. Then I had locked the device. I hit the power button to unlock. But now, I am not typing the password. And wait for the screen to go off. Then I again hit the power button. And now the device allows me to login without the need of a password. I guess this should be a security bug (or) I had screwed some settings somewhere.
I had tried using Pattern, PIN and password. But the results are the same.
I had flashed with Serendepity ROM. And Still the issue was there. Still stuck with the same bug.
Please let me know if anybody else faced the same problem or not. And how you had corrected that..
That's a known issue with the AT&T version. I'm running unnamed 2.1.1 without a problem. The changelog lists it as fixed since the 1.3.1 release.

Actually I am running unamed 2.1.1 but I did notice the same issue. I had a pattern lock and, sometimes, I get non-lock lock screen, which you can just move the screen to unlock.
EDIT: My bad. This is a feature.
Is your lockscreen timer set on instant?

@B3envied :
Settings -> Display -> Screentimeout
Is this the option you were talking? This has been set to 15 Sec. And There was one more option Touchkey Light Duration which is set to 6 Sec.
@All:
I guess with this I need to live with, FOR NOW. I will try to use some other lock screen apps or by some means to overcome this. I will post if I find one.
Thanks for the replies mates... Cheers
This is so well documented that it's one of the only times AT&T has actually issued a press release on a bug!

News FLASH...
The new OTA from AT&T fixes this issue and a few others... STOCK ROM equals Gingerbread 2.3.4... But if you goto phone settings software update and download install the new version, Gingerbread 2.3.6, this issue will then go the way of the dinosaurs!

I have my screen set to lock 2 minutes after it automatically darkens and it's working perfectly for me.
Thanks for all your replies Guys.
And a note : I am using Serendepity8.2. Kernel : 2.6.35.7 Android Version : 2.3.4 (I am afraid, If I update this, I will not be able to use my Flash counter reset USB jig) Modem: I777UCKK6.
If I update my android version t0 2.3.6, will I be still able to use the USB jig to reset the flash counter?
Hi Devs,
I had installed Cynogenmod now. Now I dont see any issues. THanks for all your help. I am glad I flipped to Cynogen. It has so many options to customisation.. Thanks for all your guidance..Thanks a lot
Lock Screen and Security Page
I am a regular visitor to this forum, and for the first time I have registered and in need of help. I am having an issue with the Samsung i727 just bought used on the internet.
It has kernel: 3.08
Baseband: I727UCLF6
Android Version: 4.0.4
Build Number IMM76D.UCLF6
My problem is that each time I touch the power/lock button, it does not take me to the home screen. It takes me to the Security Page. This also happens if I am surfing the web, sending or reading a message, even on a phone call! Everything else is working normally.
It is so annoying, can anyone help?
NIce phone. Fly away rocket!
sucks, all that work registering, and posting, just to end up on the wall.

Yes, I have a Pipo M9 Pro and I would love to delete this . I believe this is rockchips buggy useless crap version of a multiWindow / tasker...
Anyone know if this can be done?
hello..
I deleted it from my Nexus 5 and the phone crashed overnight. The screen went black. You might call it soft bricked.
Fortunately comma I flashed it the next morning using the Nexus root toolkit. My preference would be to name the developer of that miraculous program because he deserves all the accolades for it. Unfortunately comma I'm unable to at this time.

Gmail app help

Galaxy s4 stock not rooted running 4.3
If I open a email in gmail and there is a email address in the email section I click on it and it freezes and causes android system to force close.
If I uninstall the latest gmail update and perform the same action it brings up a new email like it's supposed to.
Anyone else having this problem?

I just tried what you are talking about and mine opens up a new email like it's supposed to. I am stock unrooted 4.3 MJ7 Verizon.
Just wondering....have you tried a power cycle or battery pull to restart the phone and see if that fixes it? Not trying to insult your intelligence ....just trying to help...I sometimes forget about simple fixes :0
Hope to hear what you did to fix it.
Take care.

I assume you have your stuff backed up....
I softbricked my S4 once and I was all but ready to submit a warranty claim and get it replaced then I tried one last thing which was the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant....you know the software that shows up as a drive when you plug your phone in via usb on your pc......well I went into that and told it to do the recovery thing which wiped the phone totally clean........and when the phone restarted I jumped for joy when it displayed the Android Widget with a progress bar on the screen when it was REINSTALLING 4.3 .
Something along those lines would be worth a try if you got your stuff backed up and you are not worried about loosing any root.
I am pretty sure it was the Verizon Software Upgrade assistant and NOT Samsung KIES (which I had installed also.)
You see I have removed them both from my pc and want to make sure I give accurate information so I want to BE CLEAR that there is a chance it was KIES that I used.
Someone on here should respond to confirm which one does what it did for me...wish I was 100% sure and because I am not I don't want to say for sure which one it was......BUT IT WAS ONE OF THEM and like I said the Android Animation showed up with a progress bar when it rebooted which is the same thing one sees when installing an OTA update.
I hope this helps. I know how it is to be in computer hell or the equivalent.
Just me $.02 worth.

It just seems to happen with the latest gmail update from Nov 25 if I uninstall update it works fine

Hi just wondering if you had any luck on resolving your issue. By chance do you have that Knox software installed or should I say enabled. I don't use it and have it totally disabled as much as one can while being on stock unrooted version of MJ7.

[Q] Themer-Widgets - no regular updates (clock, battery, etc.)

Greetings!
Using the newest Themer on my Galaxy S4 with the "Hills"-Theme (Zooper Pro also installed). But the widgets are not updated in time. Sometimes the clock reads 20:40 when it's already 23:50 (example). Rebooting helps. But this sucks, of course. The cover in the music player is also way behind the played songs. What can I do? :/
Thomas
had a similar issue on one theme (do not remember the name) on a GSmart Roma R2. After changing the theme I had no issue

I'm having to do this every 10 min though so I'm looking for a more permanent fix.
This started happening to me suddenly yesterday as well. Refreshing the theme in some way fixes it for a moment, but then it just freezes again.

Appreciate it. I'm on a Verizon Galaxy Note 2 (SCH-I605), I was on a custom Jelly Beans ROM when it started, I've since upgraded to the LiquidSmooth KitKat ROM and the issue persists. Both ROMs are rooted. It just occurred to me, and I'm not sure if it's related, but the issue started around the time that I began using the "HUD" theme. I'll test it with another theme to make sure it's not just this one, and update here if that helps.
Thanks again!

Hi, I downloaded Themer for the first time yesterday, and was really impressed with it. But today, I have noticed the clock doesn't update unless I refresh the launcher by changing any of the settings, and the same goes with the text and email counters.
I am using a Nexus 4, that is stock and not rooted at all.
I have gone back to the stock Android launcher for the time being, but will use themer again to see if its fixed.

Hi,
We are aware of this issue. The developers are currently trying to find ways of fixing this bug. For now, try this:
1. Uninstall Themer.
2. Delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder (removing the Exported folder within it if you saved any themes).
3. Reinstall Themer.
Hope this helps for now

Icon in the top left corner stops working

When I first boot / reboot it works fine. But after a little time, no matter what app I am in, pressing the icon in the top left corner (left arrow or 3 lines) stops working. I'm running an AT&T V10 so I'm not rooted. No idea what is doing this. It stops working in every app.

Same Here. T-Mobile. Mine and My Wives Phone Having the same problem. Mine is Rooted & My Wives is Not Rooted.
Does not matter what app. Any open app will not respond to touches on the top left side.
After reboot work for a little while then stops again.
Any Help Or Ideas To Fix This Problem Would Be Greatly Appreciated.
On Verizon.. Same problem.. If I reboot the phone it will work again for a while then go back to not working ?
I figured out what it was and tested it with some other people. If you're having this issue, then I can almost guarantee that you have the latest updates installed for Facebook Messenger. Uninstall that app (or revert) and your problem will be solved. It was happening on my S6 Edge as well. r

Yep! Uninstalling FB Messenger worked. I ended up installed an app called Disa, works just as good with all the bells and whistles.
So far, it has worked for me, Thanks.
