Homescreen won't load - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was trying to theme my MIUI and edited the manifest.xml and got it to work successfully and when i applied the theme with some jpeg changes the phone wouldn't wake up.
Now when i start it up, the homescreen won't load, just the status bar. Basically i see the background wallpaper and the status bar.
I went into CWM and reflashed the ROM twice, tried 2 kernels, wiped cache and dalvik and nothing.
I tried to use restore but im getting md5 error.
What am i to do?

Incorrect Icons In Launcher (Cyanogen Mod)

Hey guys, this is my first thread on XDA so first of all hello
I have a problem with cyanogen mod, i partitioned my card to enable apps2sd and it was fine, then i installed a theme mod of cyanogen and didnt like it so i reflashed the original mod. It has a few problems so i then done a "Wipe settings" from the recovery mode and it had odd icons on my launcher after where it was trying to load apps from the memstick that were not installed ( at least thats my guess) as they always forced close, so i then formatted the EXT3 partition to remove all apps and wiped again to make sure it was all clean. Since then i have reinstalled all my apps but some of them... thinking about it most of my "Paid" apps dont have their icons in the launcher. And they are called the same as their package name for example nesoid is called com.android. I will try attach a screenshot to this post.
I tried to search for this but couldnt find anything, anyone know a workaround for this?
Have you tried using the fix_permissions script, in recovery? Try that if you haven't yet. If that doesn't work, just reinstall your apps that do not have icons. They'll work fine after that.
Sorry for double post but i have apparantly fixed it by either updating to 4.1.4 or before i rebooted to the new update i pressed repair ext filesystem.
Either way its working now

Can we get this Black Screen of Death fixed - Full logcat

Anytime I install any of Cyan's roms and use a theme built for it, I cannot wipe without getting a Black SOD. I cleared my logcat (logcat -c) to clear away stuff that wouldn't be pertinent. I let logcat run for about 30 seconds.
Update: (further information)
I am NOT running Apps2SD and there are NO icons on my screen when flashing the theme. In addition, I have used the repair command to no avail.
Update:
This goes for xromhero theme, Ted's theme, or enochx theme so far. Will test others as time allows.
If you're having no issues with your theme, can you please do a wipe and see if the problem shows it's head? It's a simple fix, just wipe again and reapply the ROM.
PasteBin:

what theme are you trying to install? what spl do you have?
Next time, use pastebin ><
Anyway, as already asked, which theme? Does this happen on the base Cyan build?
Wall of text crits you for OVER 9000!!!!!!!! you die

I have 4.1.11.1 with the enochx theme. No issues for me.
thanks :-/
the first obvious thing is the error that says that your led driver is missing.
dont know why people are asking about spl...
Library '/system/lib/hw/lights.trout.so' not found
push this file...
you will find this file in your update.zip
push it to the exact same location and then post the logcat if the problem persists...
have you tried removing all the icons off the screen then installing the theme?
it appears to be missing both:
copybit.trout.so
and
lights.trout.so
neither of these files are in the CM 4.1.11.1 build.
Is it possible one of the apps in the xromhero theme has these two files. Though I am confused why two different phones doing exactly the same steps would not have the same issue.
Though if my thinking is correct copybit.trout.so and lights.trout.so are the drivers for the hero and my touch phones. The dream requires the msm7k.so files dont they?
So logically thinking here, is it possible that when the CM 4.1.11.1 or the theme is being installed it misidentifies the phone as a hero/my touch?
they might be symlinks...

Have you wiped after installing the theme? Go ahead and give it a shot and let us know if it goes to a black screen of death
I had trouble with a theme so I cleaned out my davlik cache, and that fixed it. You could try that. Otherwise possibly a reformat of your ext3. Gparted works well for that.
on some themes dont you have to remove the apps and the clock on the homescreen before you install a theme because usually the themes clocks are 4x3 and the normal ones are 2x2.

Updated the first post to answer these possible resolutions
Ok so I stress tested this on my phone.
Could not reproduce with xhero theme
However, with Enoch
if you wipe > install cm 4.1.11.1 > reboot, log in > recover/wipe > flash enochx > reboot it will black screen
However if you wipe > flash cm 4.1.11.1 > reboot, log in > reboot/recovery > flash enochx > reboot it works
in other words.....do NOT wipe after you install cm 4.1.11.1 allow CM to load fully and sync then reboot to recover and just flash the theme.
EnochX seems to be black screening on the reg screen load on a freshly wiped phone, though interestingly enough if you load enochx with out the wipe allow the system to come all the way back, then reboot > recover > wipe > reboot it seems to work ok

I understand it will black screen if you wipe prior to installing the theme. However, have you wiped AFTER installing the theme? This is my issue. The other night I had to wipe while I was out. This left me without a phone since I had removed the ROM from my SD.
It seems like there is something missing (or conflicting) in the themes. This might be a workaround but it's not a resolution to the issue.
Yes I was able to get the theme running then wipe and reboot without issue. I will try it a couple more times tonight to see if it black screens.

Appears your method of wiping-->install rom-->boot/login-->install theme works.
I still think that there is something missing somewhere or at least would like to hear a reason why it must be done in this order. I'm no longer getting all the F/Cs I was before.
Thanks man

Expresso Bar Skyrider

can someone post the expresso bar from skyrider. I downloaded it in rom manger, but it changes the lock screen, clock and the stauts bar. I just need the expresso bar only... please help???
I would like this also.
I'd like the expresso bar with the smooth sense icons, as of right now the only way for me to do this is to install one of the black notification bars from rom manager. This resets my rom again, and then I can add the smooth sense icons from recovery which works flawlessly.
Is there a way to install things from ROM manager without clearing everything? Or is it possible to backup my notification bar and application icons so I can easily add them to any deodexed ROM I flash?

you shouldn't have to wipe everything if you are using the same rom. A lot of the stuff from ROM Manager can be installed over your exsisting rom, just make sure you backup unless you want to go back.
I've tried it with espresso and the notification bars and its worked so far
so how do i get the expresso bar with the smooth sense icons, without it changing the clock and task bar. anytime i download the skyriader expresso theme it changes the expresso bar, htc clock, and status bar....? if someone knows how to do it and has a screen shot. it would be great to share it.

It doesn't get wiped if I do it through recovery, but when I installed the black notification bar with the green circle battery my ROM was reset again

If you downloaded it on rom manager the file should be on your sdcard in /clockworkmod/download/ or something like that.
If you don't want it to overwrite the other themes, just make it into a metamorph instead of flashing it with rom manager or recovery.

[Q] SystemUi not installing

Im running a rooted transformer overclocked with clemsyn kernel on 8.6.5.9 and i recently flashed the htc jetstream (puccini) system bar and it went without a hitch. Problem came when the new 8.6.5.13 update was released and i had to revert the mod in order to update. I made the mistake of just deleting the systemUi.apk from the /system/app folder by way of root explorer and after a series of force closes i reboot, only to find that i no longer have a system bar. I have tried to manually put the systemUi.apk that i pulled from a system dump back in the correct folder and reboot to no avail. Ive even tried to flash the puccini system bar again, but still no luck. Is there any way to get back the system bar without completely reseting the transformer?
the puccini mod only changed the button images not the system ui apk as a rule of thumb dont delete system apps. you do not have to revert an asthetic mod before flashing. Just re flash whatever rom you are on and you should be fine. also post in the correct section next time
im on the stock rom, i was under the impression that i had to revert the mod i made to the systemui.apk because the update process would not work
if you made changes to the system ui then that means you are rooted if you are rooted you will not get the stock update. you just have to do it manually
go here and get the right one for your model "http://ca.asus.com/en/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/#download"
tried to flash it through cwm but it wouldnt work i got,
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/blob". "staging")
E:Error in /sdcard/WW_epad-user-8.6.5.9.zip
K i would just suggest flashing a custom ROM like revolver or prime that will fix all of your issues or maby one of the repackaged firmwares
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281161
The repackaged firmware cannot be flashed without the systemui.apk fix and as for flashing a new rom will that erase all my data or will it stay intact?
your data will stay there on a custom rom unless you clear data in cwm but always best to make a backup with titanium before you do it
i just restored my asus to stock from the settings menu and after the process, still no system bar, cwm will not allow me to flash the update you posted above because it "cannot open it". Im not sure what else i can do, maybe somebody had the systemUi.apk i can put back in the correct folder or a flashable .zip

[Solved] Homescreen Wallpaper Reset

After updating my Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) to 5.1.1, the homescreen wallpaper always resets to the stock Samsung WP every after reboot. I use themes downloaded from the Theme Store. Everything else remains applied (lockscreen WP, icons, etc.) Anyone have an idea to fix it? Thanks.
it may seem weird, but just simply uninstall facebook or disable it, reboot then update it again.

Thanks for the hint, but i tried it and failed. It still went back to stock.
Solved!
I've solved the problem, although I don't know which step did solve it.
Things I did:
Uninstalled/disabled some apps and deleted some files to free up space (my memory was nearly full)
Switched to the default theme and uninstalled all other downloaded themes
Wiped cache in settings>storage
Rebooted, downloaded a new theme and applied it
Wiped cache again and reboot
Wallpaper from theme is still there Yey!
Special thanks to @Justinhopaolo for helping me out
