I have wiped this phone several times and still no clock. if anyone could help or has an idea please let me know.

find HTC Sense, clear data.
was that the widget fix you were talking about?

I know that the lwp fix removes weatherwallpaper.apk... but I don't think it removes the weather widget. By the fix, you mean you've tried going into HTC Sense and clearing defaults and/or data?

tried the clear data

I am having the same problem! I lost my clock widget last night trying to flash a cooler clock on to my evo. then my phone went into a force close frenzie, i had to wipe data to get my phone to work again and now no clock? any help

[Q] Weather Data never available..

is it just me or has this happened to anyone else.. but i just purchased an HTC Inspire today and the location updates without a problem.. but every place that im at or been through the weather data is always not available.

Had the same issue earlier on my inspire and my daughter's desire z. Working fine for me now so I assumed it was just a temporary problem.

I only really care about the weather where my home is, so so I could leave wireless networks off but still have my home weather, and HTC includes like 2 us cities, I edited the weather's settings.db to include my city in its choices for default cities. Worked good.
If anyone's interested ill have to check exactly what sqlite values I edite, can't remember off the top of my head.

I'm interested. You really know you're stuff dude.

Thanks di11igaf, can't wait to mess around with it, when I get off work too

Sorry guys, not using sense right now and didn't have time last night to flash my sense Rom back. I'll do It tonight and write how to add a location. If someone wants to look into it before me though its in /data/data/ one of the HTCweather database files(there's a few), and inside that its one of the .db files. You'll need an sqlite editor to change the values either on the phone(you can buy one from within root explorer), or edit it on your pc and put it back. You'll see what has to be changed cause it will have all the locations listed inside the db file. I'll know exactly what to edit later with a step by step.

Actually I think you've given us enough to empower ourselves I'm going to tackle this tonight. Thanks again.

On my stock (i.e. not rooted) AT&T Inspire, the weather widget sucked. You can not add weather locations that you may be interested in. (Score one for iPhone).
My great solution: Get Weather Bug app (or something similar). You can add any location you wish and get more info.
Now you need a way to link the stock HTC clock widget to the Weather Bug app. Well you can NOT do it.
SO, get Fancy Widgets! They have 100 of cool widgets, including the nice looking HTC clock/weather widget (small and large), and it includes custom options to set which app to start / link when tapped.
So when you tap the weather widget part, Weather Bug starts. Tap clock, goes to the stock clock / alarm app.
Problem solved, home screen works better than iPhone!

[Q] GR-11 App Sorting

Has anyone found a way to sort apps in GR-11?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056542

I didn't see anything addressing app sorting in the link that you posted?

Search for Touchwiz AppSorter in the market. If it says database error after you run it, just clear the TouchWiz data (gonna reset your launcher though) Drove me nuts for about 20 minutes till I figured it out lol!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

I got the database error with that app. I cleared the data, it didn't fully sort the apps. It left the original first page of apps, then sorted the subsequent pages.
Is there a way to not only sort ALL apps, but to make it re-sort when you install a new app without losing you 7 screens?
Also, has anyone figured out how to choose your home screen? I only want 3 screens, but I want screen 2 to be "home" not 3.
Sent from my Captivate running GR-11

Use a different launcher until it's fixed? GR is still in beta. And until it's out of beta expect there to be bugs.

He linked you to that thread because that's where your question should've been asked instead of making a new thread.

Go to Settings> Applications> Manage Applications>All>TwLauncher>Force Stop then Clear Data...but it will reset your home screen...you'll have to customize it again...

The TouchWiz app sorter from the market has recently been updated to support TouchWiz 4.0. Therefore you can now use it on your GR-12 ROM without getting that database error .

Icons turning to default after reboot?

Everytime I reboot my icons change to the green uploading icons and not to the normal ones. I have to manually remove them and add them again. Another thing i've notices is once in a while distorted horizontal lines appear across some apps. They will not go away most of the time unless I reboot.?

Sometimes my widgets get colored lines in it and i have to reboot to. My.contacts app disappear and turn into to people app all on its on til i reboot. Hope they fix these issues but no updates in site tmobile and phone companies have bad service.

I have the same problem but it only happens with a few specific games every time. It's annoying but I've just stopped fixing it and leave them as the android icon.

Mine was doing this for SD installed apps... Solved in the last update however...
Change the theme and back to restore the icons... marginally better than deleting and re-adding

You could also change the language, go to the main page, change the language back to what is was and it'll solve the problem.

move the apps that are loosing it's icons from sd to internal memory.
few of my games were doing this on reboot.
soon as I moved them to internal, no more problems.
kinda sucks that we can't take advantage of app2sd feature that comes with some of apps but until we get an update that fixes this bug, this is the only sure way I've found.

Yep, that fixed it after a restart. Why do some games install on the phone and some on SD? There doesn't seem to be any consistency.

I don't think apps install on the SD unless specified. As for the icons changing on reboot. This has been a problem on Android since apps to SD was implemented.

I'm having the same problem as well with my game icons.
That worked, Thanks!

My Facebook app on my main screen does the same thing -- I do have it moved to the SD card. Randomly the correct icon/logo appears on it, but most of the time it's the generic Android icon. I've learned to live with it -- maybe they'll fix it someday.

My icons return after a reboot, when I turn the phone off/on.

I tried this and it didn't work, until I realized that there were two Sense applications running and I killed the wrong one...D'oh!

I tried to force stop HTC sense and dashboard.... none of this worked.
So I tried changing the theme and IT WORKED!!!! When I restored my previous theme, all the icons went back to normal.
This the easiest non-frustrating method. From time to time, my phone crashes and restarts by itself and all my icons would change.

Has anyone tried using Rom Manager and run "fix permissions" with any luck?

It is not a permissions issue. It is quite simple.. the desktop icons are loaded before the sd card is mounted and accessible so it can't load the icons and won't retry later. Causing sense to reload in any way after the SD card is mounted will reload the icons. Changing themes works. Killing sense to force a reload works. Using titanium backup to freeze/unfreeze any of the sense Widgets works. I'm sure there are plenty more ways of making sense reload

[MOD]CM9 Alpha 5 hide voicemail notification

Seems like some of us are stuck with these persistent voicemail notifications when we aren't on a touchwiz rom. CM7 let you hide these but CM9 does not.
Until a more official solution comes along this mod simply patches framework-res.apk to use a 1x1 transparent png in place of the standard notification.
Thanks goes to [s89281b, || Acer ||] from the cm9 thread for suggesting removing this icon or blacking it out. I tried removing but that caused the phone app to force close which led me to use a transparent image which should look fine for most situations.

I don't actually think you need to wipe anything for this to work but it never hurts to wipe cache and dalvik cache. Also make a backup before flashing this.
Thanks to tbob18 for putting together a script to auto kill your phone app at boot up. Combine his script with my mod and you have a completely automated solution for dismissing that pesky notification.

Here you go guys. Took a little experimenting, but it works quite nicely.

Theoretically the program Autostart (Root) would be a great way to combine these two mods into one cwm flashable zip but it seems the app app does not work on ICS... And every time I tried to do it with preconfiguring script manager, it always force closed :/
I will keep looking into combining these two mods as I would love to make it a little easier.
Also thanks to a454nova for pointing out that if you force stop the phone app it will remove the notification and the icon until you reboot. I still like having icon modded to be clear so action isn't required after a reboot until you want to remove the notification.
Oh and I am not responsible for anything... at all... ever... unless it was good, that stuff is all my fault.

Yeah I forgot to mention if somethings missing it won't work properly

Thanks. Just flashed and working. Voicemail icon is gone. You will still have notification in pulldown but that's not annoying like icon. At least for me.

Yes, the notification will remain. Like you said its the status bar icon that bugs me the most as well.

Hmm, this might make me more willing to use CM9, however I've been hearing a lot of people are having battery issues. It's great that we have a temporary fix though and I'll be sure to use this method in updated versions.
I'm wondering if it's possible to locate the "Hide VM Notifications" feature in CM7, and try to port it over ourselves? I don't really have the experience, but it would be pretty helpful and would get rid of the notification in the dropdown menu as well.

Go into Titanium Backup, backup and uninstall the phone app. (I backed up the "Voicemail" [Phone 4.0.3...] and deleted it)
this will clear the voice mail anything...
restore the app and your good!
mine is gone, my brothers came back after he restarted. He just did it again and hasn't had an issue.

That seems to be effectively like the clear data on phone application method which works for me until a reboot although I have not tried this uninstall / reinstall method.

Click the ALL tab and go down to "Phone" and click it.

You will have to do this after every time you restart. A little easier than Titanium Backup. Haven't had issues yet and all seems to work perfect.

Works perfectly for me. Flashed the hiding notification too, in case I have to restart & forget to force stop Phone afterwards.

I was having this issue too, so I looked and noticed I had Sprint VVM still installed and not from a backup. I opened it and it said I had a new voicemail that couldn't be downloaded. I held the back button to kill the app, ???, profit!, vm notification is now gone...

That's not the type of notification this mod addresses. On non android phones your voicemail notification comes from a specially formatted text message sent from the carrier to your phone. No its not that funky one you get when visual voicemail isn't installed either. Its a class 0 message in cshp format that triggers your message waiting indicator. Its a relic left over from voicemail systems that were used before we got android phones that were not cleared out. Touchwiz roms ignore them but aosp roms do not because some carriers use them.

You say they are from an old system. The only phone I have ever had on sprint is android. Yet I still have six phantom vm. So either its still in use or it has carried over from before I was on sprint with the number I was given.
I really don't understand why its there. But ill see if Google can help. If you have direct resource pages I would appreciate it.

did your previous android phone on sprint have visual voicemail? If not perhaps that is the reason.
The message waiting indicator stuff in android SMS message is where this is happening. CPHS is the format.
