(MY ENGLISH SUCKS REALLY BAD SO I HOPE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT I SAY)
Hello Professionals,
I already searched for my problem here but sadly found nothing useful....
A few days ago i wanted to change the lock screen wallpaper with the default gallery which is installed on android phones, And every time it wanted to change the wallpaper, screen goes black and says: Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped working.
I also tired to change my home screen wallpaper and same problem... So screen goes black ONLY when i wanted to change wallpaper, hadn't any problem with viewing pictures.
The first thing i did was downloading a program called Image 2 Wallpaper and it worked fine. I tried to solve Gallery problem with Clearing cache and stuff but no lucks, i unmounted the SD card and rebooting the phone but still nothing.
I searched a bit and found Gallery3D.apk and replaced it with the original version in /system/app/ and set the permission with root explorer and rebooted the phone and BAMMM, gallery was completely dead and even i couldn't open it up cuz of Black screen and this ****: Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped working (my problem was with changing the wallpaper but it was dead now)
I also tried to delete both of Gallery3D.odex and Gallery3D.apk and replaced them with other files which i found in internet but none of them worked, still black screen . I'm using Android 4.0.3 with KH3 (because i saw one guy in XDA said android 4.0.3 with KH3 are the best for Galaxy s2 and it will reduce the battery draining)
I tried to use other programs like 3D Gallery Pro and QuickPic but didn't like them
I'm not able to factory reset my phone cuz of stuff and can't use USB for upgrading or downgrading the software version, So if there is any other ways, for love of god let me know.
lol, look what i've found:
I think I've found the culprit behind this error and all other similar errors reported. This is happening when "Force GPU rendering" under "Settings->Developer Options" is checked. Once "Force GPU rendering" check box is unchecked force close issues dissappear.
He is right, Force GPU rendering was checked for me, btw i deleted the gallery3d.apk and gallery3d.odex, Can anyone upload them for me please? (as i said im on android 4.0.3 with KH3)
---------
UPDATE=>
Ok guys, i found the Gallery3D.apk and Gallery3D.odex from a chinese site, and i moved them to system/app via root explorer and set the permission, But it doesn't appear in my application list after reboot... What am i doing wrong ?

(great !!!!!! Its completely missing from Application Manager !)

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?
Hi Guys,
My galaxy S2 rearranges all my icons every time I re-start after my battery dies out or change sims - I'm not sure which. It places them in a very ineffecient way placing maybe four apps on a page, it's gotten so bad now that I have 13 pages half filled with apps. I tried to bypass the problem by placing my important stuff and bloat-ware in seperate folders , guess what, it emptied them out and I'm back to square one!
Anybody having a similar problem? I've searched the forums , but no joy. I'm running a stock 2.3.4 - I9100XKI1 (non rooted)
Thanks for all the help!
Moe
Me too
This is probably normal behaviour. Since you don't normally run a batter to dead or change sims often it doesn't matter too much. Even when you remove apps the icons are somtimes rearranged. I don't think there is anyway to have them arranged alphabetically except when you chose to view by List.
Regards,
John.
Hi,
I have almost the same problem. The icons just keep rearranging so now I have many almost empty pages. The funny thing is that if I arrange them in the way I want, it's fine for an hour or two and then they rearrange even without rebooting the phone. I'm really tired of this. There's nothing on the Internet about such a problem.
Does anyone have any ideas what's wrong?

no root.
Thanks.
I can confirm this bug (2.3.6 KK2 with siyah kernel). It not only rearranges the apps on different pages, it removes 1 of the 4 apps from the dock. This happens without rebooting or running down battery.
I had a similar problem which I fixed by clearing the TwLauncher data (in Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> All).
Doing this will cause all the current icon positions to be lost, but it should start remembering them going forward.
I think there was something corrupt that prevented the icon positions from being saved.
Hopefully this works for you.
After arranging icons, try selecting menu > save
@ SGS-II " Save " its not working... i too have the same prob... i am using Android 2.3.5. It usually happens when i clear the memory from the task manager.

Thanks, worked for me
I got the same issue. Could you please tell me more that clearing TwLauncher data. Under All tab, there are not only the downloaded apps but also built-in apps. How can I clear them all? If so, what is different to soft reset or hard reset? Thanks!
I can't find the TwLauncher data on my settings. Pls help.
Download and install Appzorter from Playstore.. And then u have the option to arrange it by Alphabatically or to date of installation....
Hope I helped you....

How about rearranging it according to your desire location.
I am using dell streak 5 and new to this forum.
recently i learnt to flashout and install new ROM. I used gingerStreak2.4.4 by DJ_STEVE and it was wonderfull exprience to see it working faster than orignal one. But now I have problem with camera. I can click photos but when I put on the camera all i see is white screen and cannot see the objects in my screen. thought i can take photo.
PLease help anyone!!!
This is a common issue with all the Gingerbread ROMs. One of the apps you installed is not compatible with Gingerbread and thus causes the white screen. You either have to uninstall the offending app or see if the fix proposed for users of the DSC ROM (editing build.prop) works on GingerStreak.
In my case LBE Security was the offending app.
Thanks! You gave me the tip and I pulled the whole thing. The problem is solved and it works.
For novice like me.Here is what I did:
1. connect ur phone to internet via wireless
2. goto android market and install Root Browser [which is free]
3. using root browser you will be able to get into ur root files.
4.then goto /system/build.prop and searh for a line
debug.composition.type=gpu
Just change the gpu to mdp should look like below:
debug.composition.type=mdp
5. save it and reboot the phone.
It works like magic!!
In my case I chose to uninstall the offending app, because the benefits of GPU rendering outweighed the liabilities. But, I'm glad you solved the problem.

Hey can you tell me any future implications regarding the use of mdp instead of gpu. and the benifits of using gpu instead of mdp [searched for some comparison but couldnt find any]
and i see that the icon bar on top left while opening gallery, gets distroted. Any guess?
If you play games you may notice a change in performance, but that's about it. I'm curious however as to what the 407 ROM default is.
Hi Strephon,
Thanks for the info. I have observed that my phone shuts down frequently and i have to take out the battary put back and then restart. Any idea regarding this problem? This happened after I used the gingerStreak2.4.4 ROM. Initially there was no problem with the default one.
I can't help you there. I use the DSC ROM and have not encountered any of the issues you refer to, other than the white screen on the camera of course.
I just went through updating to the new firmware and flashed cleanrom and I'm noticing a few problems that I can't figure out by basic searching around.
First (and this is minor), when I adjust the brightness of the screen in the dropdown menu, it doesn't "stick" after the screen is turned off then on again, it goes back to the default brightness unless I lower the brightness in the settings menu. This isn't a big deal, but if someone knows a fix or if I'm missing something I'd appreciate input.
The second issue is more irritating. No matter what I do, the system chooses a default browser app when I click an internet related link. I prefer not to set a default, and it really gets annoying when I click a youtube or play store link and it brings me to the stock browser instead of letting me choose the designated app. Clearing default on the stock browser makes me go directly to chrome instead, and unchecking chrome makes me go to the stock browser again. I have never had this happen on any other phone, device, or ROM I've ever had, and I'm going crazy because its the first time I honestly can't figure out why its doing this! I think I've narrowed it down to the "htclinkifydispatcher" app, because if I freeze the app it doesn't do anything at all (as opposed to opening either chrome or 'internet'). I just want my app selection window back!
Honestly this is just getting in the way of me thoroughly enjoying reddit on my phone at work, so its extra frustrating
Does anyone know about this problem or a way to solve it? Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
EDIT: I forgot to mention, I've tried rewiping and flashing the rom again to no avail, the same issues persist.
EDIT 2: I fixed the second problem, so if anyone else is experiencing this, (back it up first just in case) delete htclinkifydispatcher, it seems to have a strong desire to select your default browser for you instead of allowing you to choose for yourself, and simply freezing it does nothing.
Thanks for this post. I was unable to authenticate Folder Sync with Dropbox due to problems with htclinkifydispatcher. Your post helped me diagnose and fix the issue (delete the apk.)
Does that rom have app associations in the system settings like BAMF 1.1?

Yes, it does.
Ok I was curious because that was how I fixed the HTC browser from being the default and switched it to Google Chrome under web URLs.
I don't know when it started, but i can definitely say it was after I unlocked and rooted the phone. I can see the articles just not the pictures in the tiles. They are grey with the article title. In setting, generic icon is shown for the news providers.
I fooled around a little in the system looking at the folder structures and tried to add a newer version of the play store to system/app. Did not work original came back and play store would not start. I reset the to factory and all was good. I later noticed BlinkFeed was not displaying pics. I have reset the phone, changed setting in BlinkFeed and tried fixing permissions. I'm lost, don't know if it was something I did.
Anybody else having similar problems?
Not sure if this applies but I screwed up my Zoe configuration last night when I moved files in an event through ES Explorer instead of through the gallery. I couldn't get things straightened out (tried restarting Zeroedit / Gallery, clearing data caches, cleaning up files in /sdcard/Android for Zoe) and just reinstalled the ROM altogether. Working again like a charm.
I would suggest not messing with any files associated with BlinkFeed through third-party apps. Don't use BlinkFeed myself so cannot say for sure.

My blinkfeed wouldn't work either after root... All you have to do is go to apps clear cache
That and redo setup blinkfeed..all mine did was keep trying to update

If you have a firewall app, such as DroidWall, you need to let HTC Sense and HTC Share through. I had that issue on my Butterfly S until I figured it out.
