[Q] ADW Launcher Ex Theme Preferences Force Close

Sorry I'm new to posting on here so sorry if I ask a noob question.
Is anybody having any problem with changing themes or dock backgrounds in adw launcher ex?
Whenever I enter the "theme preferences" adw crashes. I've sent in a number of reports and error logs but have got no response I've even emailed the developer asking but got no response.
I'm using LG O2x with cm7 running
Any help or advice would be most appreciated. Thanks

Try neopeek.com very helpful over there.

Try uninstall and re install or clear cache. Just an idea. For me never had a problem but then I use tiad8 builds from tiad8. Com

Done both of those. Just did them again after your suggestion. This is a pain. Wish the developer would get back to me.

Valhalla Black Edition rc1.5 - mms.apk

Steps to reproduce missing mms.apk for Valhalla black 1.5:
Prior to flash:
Valhalla black
Cwm patch 1
Kj6 beta 1.0 kernel
Zeam launcher
Tw was installed, but not default
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Flash rc1.5 zip
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Reboot
Messaging app missing
I will be restoring from titanium backup, but wanted to post bug so it can be seen and possibly duplicated
Edit: data from messaging was retained (sms history, preferences), and was visible after restoring app only from titanium. Not totally unexpected for me, but a little surprised that didn't go away with cache wipes.

I am so confused?

I can't put it in the Dev forum where it belongs, so i put it here, as i said above, so there's a step by step to reproduce what raver thought he fixed. I'll retitle it if that would make it more clear.

The issue is the mms.apk Raver used was based on my transparent mms apk, which was based on KI3, and for some reason just wasnt playing nice with a lot of different launchers.
I made an updated one on KJ6, this should fix any problems. It worked fine on my device, then again so did the KI3 based one, but try flashing this one.
(this one is only semi transparent, as I left the listview bg black, but its still slick lol)

Meh. Back to the drawing board. But, do me a quick favor and clear your launch cache and force close your launcher from the settings/applications menu and be sure it isnt a problem in your cache?

The apk should restore after the fact pretty easily from anywhere. I'm just trying to put the info out there for how to duplicate the issue during the rom flash.
Sent from above and beyond

The thing is that the instructions for the rom recommend you do a factory reset. I've actually been wondering too what causes it since I did do a factory reset and had to flash the apk myself. I use go sms but I still wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

I've found that if I did a factory reset before flashing OR if I flash any version of Valhalla Black over the top of an earlier version without a factory reset the apk is missing. However, If I flash any version of Valhalla Black over Valhalla final without a factory reset the apk is there. I try to avoid doing that since I seem to have had a better overall experience just pushing the apk itself from Valhalla Final to Black. Either way, It's an amazing ROM, just an extra step of adding the MMS. No big deal. And I think I've tried working with almost every launcher out there with the same results. /shrug

[Q] MMS pics only stay on screen for 5 seconds and then the screen goes blank SOLVED!

I have searched and didn't see this anywhere.
MMS pics only stay on screen for 5 seconds and then the screen goes blank. I just flashed to 2.3.6 and this started happening. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a fix out there? It is annoying.

Hi Tytan0007. We have a Q & A section for questions.
What 2.3.6 did you flash? Stock? Vahlalla Black?

I assume you adjusted the "Screen timeout' in settings already? If so, did you do a factory wipe and fresh install of the stock ROM?

I did adjust it. The whole screen doesnt go dark....just the picture after viewing it for 5.secs...I wiped everything when I flashed.

I haven't been on stock or used stock messaging in a long time. You could try a third party sms/mms app like GoSMS Pro - which is what I use - to start. You may try a reflashing the ROM with a factory reset. You can try flashing Raver's Valhalla Black.
Or you can hang on and see if somebody else steps in to help

I would try this. If your mms/sms works using GOsms then it would suggest the stock app is having a issue. I seen something similar on another phone. The user couldnt get sms/mms until he installed GOsms. Then mysteriously the stock app started to work.

Not a fan of third part msging for privavy reasons so I will not be downloading any 3rd party. Maybe a refresh will work. Thanks for your help.

I suggest this only because it could jumpstart the stock app. The person I referenced went three months without mms/sms through several updates.
But let me get this straight..you will install a custom rom but third party messaging app is a nogo. Ok.

I installed stock 2.3.6...nothing custom on it. However, I did try handscent and although it did not fix the stock app I like how it works so I guess I threw my privacy thing out the window there. Thanks for the help anyway!

If you like Handscent... give goSMSPro a run. I have tried both and liked the latter much more.

So you are able to view the messages longer than the original 5 seconds?
And I guess I missed you said you were on the stock 2.3.6, my bad.
I understand the concern for privacy. But I think with the thousands of users of most sms apps at some point somebody would have found a security flaw in them. So you should be pretty safe.
One more thing if you really want to use the stock one. Redownload the stock rom unzip it and find the stock messaging apk. You can then push it to your phone via adb or a file manager that has root privileges.

You're welcome. You can apply themes to gosms as well.
Stock messaging is separate from the mms. If gosms is working and you like it, it beats the hell out of stock.

Quits out of text messaging, call mode and other apps when phone is busy

Hey guys,
I have been using Valhalla Blackedition for a while and it's been fantastic.. well that is when it's working fine. Sometimes, when i don't reboot my phone for awhile, my phone gets just jammed up and when go into text messages, I can see that my phone reloads all the names and sometimes quits out of messaging. This happens to other apps too like google search, call mode and such. I searched tons on the forum but i couldn't find any answers.
Anyone has this problem as well?

How often are you going between reboots?

i had that issue too and a reboot usually fixed it for me. if that doesn't work then boot into cwm and clear cache and dalvik

Same Problem
Hello, I had been using Valhalla Final for a while but then switched to AOSP Final due to this problem. With the AOSP Final it would never have the quiting problem and it was great but I really like the style and look of Valhalla. So I have recently switched back.
I have tried doing resets and going in to cwm to delete the Dalvik Cache and fix the permissions but its only a temporary fix. At first I thought it was cause I was using the Adrenaline Shot or switching kernels so I just flashed the rom and used it for a couple of days but no luck.
If anyone has any other suggestions or know what is causing this please let me know I appreciate it. Thanks.

Look for Gremlin Remover in the dev section. Follow directions and flash it. Then flash back. See if your problem is resolved.

Have you tried adding the ro.Home_App_Adj=1 line in the build.prop? And is ur launcher in /system/app/?
if you ain't first you're last

For texts and call issues?

I was going to post a thread about v6 supercharger, but haven't done so yet. I've been using the latest v6 supercharger for a while, and it has cured any and all random close issues. It basically changes the way memory is managed in the OS. It also makes the launcher extremely hard to kill, negating the need for the build.prop trick. All in all, I would try out the latest beta release of v6 supercharger, just follow instructions in the v6 supercharger thread (its on xda).

Gremlin Remover
Ok so I tried the 1-click gremlin remover and everything looked great. After about 12 or so hours my messages started closing again. This is really frustrating and I would like to have this fixed.
@erikmm, I would like to try what you said but I'm not sure on what you're talking about. If you could, can you explain in a little more detail on what to do? Thanks.

No fix yet.
I have also applied the V6 supercharger to the phone and no luck there either. Looks like I am going back to AOSP Final since I had no problems with the closing there.
If anyone has anymore suggestions I am all ears. I really don't know why this has been a problem for only a few people. Anywho, thanks to all that have given suggestions and those of you who will continue to.

Has someone resolved this? I am even thinking about trading my ASUS transformer for a new phone... this phone does not like me...lol

Tried flashing Beta2 from AOKP three times now and each time, Superuser has been broken. Was thinking I might have messed something up earlier, but validated that Superuser still works fine in other roms.
Also, flashing Beta2 straight leads into a recovery bootloop. To get it to properly flash, I needed to flash AOKP and then immediately flash Beta2 after. Flashing Beta2 onto AOKP... bootloop.
Any information I should pull to help figure out what's going on? Next step for me is going to be flashing Beta1 and seeing if that has working Superuser, and then if updating from Beta1 to Beta2 keeps it alive...
Edit: Beta1 has the same issue. Pure-flash gives recovery bootloop. Flashing AOKPr4 into AOKPCB Beta1 gives broken Superuser.

Did u wipe all things bro, by all things I meant EVERYTHING (system, data, cache, dalvik bla bla) because this is NOT an update over our AOKP M6 so just use titanium then...after that, u can reflash and flash gapps (ics-20120429) if u want
If this not works for u either, then idk why cause I have everything working fine for me (no bugs found except CM9 bugs)

Delightful... figured it out. The CM9 Aries preview (8/19) breaks rooting. Full wipe fixes it, wasn't actually a AOKPCB problem. Additionally, it makes Aroma think that it's still a Froyo rom, not even Gingerbread. Again, not an AOKPCB problem, but I mentioned it here.
Anyways, full wipe of everything (except SD card) made this flashable with working Superuser. Thanks! Looks interesting.

A different issue that I noticed with AOKPCB is that the SD Card is repeatedly referred to as "USB Storage" which can make things a bit confusing when you aren't connected to your computer. Just a bad localization string, I'm guessing. The spot I notice this the most is in Manage Applications... the USB Storage tab.

Okay, semi-n00b question. Since this is a 'based on AOKP' ROM, should I look in one of those threads for "what works/what doesn't" stuff?
Already I'm wondering about
* GPS
* Tethering
* Wi-fi calling
(I travel a lot so these are all important to me.)
Should I keep looking at this ROM or move on? (Sure is good looking!)
Thanks.

Any plans on themeing the sms and people apps and icons? Right now I am manually changing all my dock icons with metrostation pack, using Nova Launcher Prime, but a matching integrated icon theme would be much nicer. I am also using a modded sms app with inverted colors, but it just kinda matches, obviously. Thanks in advance.

This is the Icon pack I am using now. But it is not optimal for Nova since it doesn't theme the drawer icons and each shortcut has to be assigned manually. Nova seems to have better support for ADW themes, so I was hoping more for a PCB themed ADW theme. I was thinking the Metro theme would look awesome if the inside of the circles had a blue PCB background like in this icon pack for TSF Shell, but the cricle and the icons remained white.
I attached the modified MMS.apk I am using and the stock Contacts.apk.
Also I just noticed that the Navigation app keeps disappearing from my system. I reinstalled Maps several times, cleared caches, etc, but it seems to stop working right after the first time launching it. I did a full wipe, even formatted my SD card before installing this ROM and never had that hapen before, it's almost as if the app was corrupting, but I did not move it to my SD card. :/
Edit: Actually it would be even cooler if the icons could match the lockscreen icon.
Thanks again, it's greatly appreciated.

Links are fine. Your system is the problem. Try a different browser and if it works, clean the malware off your system. Or reformat.
Maybe reformat just for fun. That's a good general troubleshooting step.
