I'm running CM7 RC1-BACKside-IHO-KANG on my Optimus V. The problem is my phone won't remember defaults such as which music player is default. I prefer GO Launcher over ADW launcher, but setting as default never holds. Also if I shut off or replace the battery (which I do frequently) things such as alarms go back to initial settings and not what I set, and I lose widgets. Is there a way I can resolve these issues?
Also trying to download and install new apps like youtube, I get a not sufficent memory fail. I've move ALL apps to my SD card and I have almost 68% internal memory available. Any way around this?
Thanks

Hi,
I heard of the HTC_IME keyboard was the best so I installed it but right after changing input method to IME the keyboard crashed right away. I couldn't change it back to an other keyboard so I restarted my phone. But after restart mu phone was reset, not the files gone but the homescreen etc. Plus the apps that where on my SD card are gone and some apps crash every time I start them, like whatsapp. Even after reinstalling the app. Anybody tips or solutions? What can I do best without losing everything? :S We (not custom)'re talking about a samsung galaxy s with froyo.
I am not sure whether this is the same issue that others are seeing with random shutdowns - these seems a little different from what I have seen posted, but hopefully someone has some suggestions on a remedy.
I am running an AT&T Captivate on stock Froyo ROM, rooted, using LauncherPro. Periodically, but seemingly most frequently after an app has been installed or updated, the Cap will become unresponsive. After a few minutes, it will come back asking me which launcher to execute (i.e., LauncherPro or TouchWiz). The phone runs media scan and other typical start-up activities. The two strange things - on Settings - About Phone - Up time does not reset, nor do I see the AT&T splash screen. Everything else acts like a reboot, including at times the Cap's ability to recognize apps installed on SD (apps show up in Settings-Applications) with long Unix names and can not launch, although you can go to Manage Apps and see them listed.
Any ideas on what is going on, and whether to blame the phone, LauncherPro, or something else? (And anyone know how to get my apps on the SD card to be recognized properly without multiple resetting the phone - merely killing LauncherPro in the task manager does not seem to work for me).
I get that occasionally too. I don't think it it's launcher pro since I am running adw ex on mine. I am also on Cognition, not stock. Other than that, it is exactly as you described.

First of all, thanks to chui101 and all the other people here who put in the effort to get CyanogenMod to run on this phone. However, I'm having a bit of a problem with my phone slowing down severely and becoming unresponsive, usually at the lock screen. The specific issue is that the lock screen will be on screen, but not respond to button presses, or respond very slowly, and then it will do the "old CRT television turning off" effect much much slower than it's supposed to (think close to a minute), go blank for a while, the lock screen comes back up, another very slow screen turn off effect, and the whole process keeps repeating until I get tired of it and pull the battery to reboot the phone. This issue happens to me with both the 2012-11-21 and 2012-11-25 nightlies. To me, the behavior sort of seems like an out of memory issue, maybe some program is leaking memory or something.
Things that cause the freezing issue:
Power button presses too close together
2 cases of a call coming in while the phone is locked and playing music in Apollo
Things I've tried thus far:
Switch launcher from Trebuchet to NovaLauncher
Set Background Process Limit from "Standard Limit" to "At most 3 processes"
Set "Force GPU rendering"
Remove SD card
Out of those, pulling the SD card is the only one that seemed to help. The SD card I had installed was a 16GB SanDisk Class 2 card with ~3.7 GB of music along with less than 10MB of small text files, ring tones in .wav format, pictures, etc.
I put the 2GB card that originally came in the phone back in, this card currently has nothing but the text files and ringtones and a few pictures.
Is anyone else getting hit with this problem? What can I do to help? I don't know much about android ROM development, but I can handle collecting a LogCat from a case where the problem I'm describing is happening and know a reasonable amount about general Linux stuff, just not Android internals.
Thanks!
I used to own an LG Mytouch Q, the only reason I'm even remotely interested in this thread.
However, you should definitely post in that specific thread, as it's basically the only group of Mytouch owners and they should give you lots more help

I would, but I just joined here so I can't post in the dev forums. I'm hoping someone there will see this post.
Update
With the smaller SD card without all the music files installed, I'm getting less of the freezing problem, although I am not certain whether this is due to the music files not being there, or me not using the phone to play music. I guess the next part of this experiment is to go back to the card with the music files on it but not play any of them. I did grab a LogCat from one of the cases where the phone is 'freezing' and see a bunch of "Application Not Responding" messages, and the CPU usage stats that follow these messages indicate that most of the CPU time is being used by 'iowait,' for instance "100% TOTAL: 0.3% user + 6.9% kernel + 92% iowait". I've read some threads relating to other phones indicating that this could be some process poking around somewhere in storage. I'm thinking that running top from adb shell next time the phone ends up in this state might give some clue as to what's eating the CPU.
Also, I've hit the issue with email message bodies showing up blank that others on this phone, and on CM9 on the non-keyboard LG Mytouch (E739) have experienced.
Hope I'm not spamming with yet another status update, but I tried disabling live wallpapers (going instead to no wallpaper/black screen) last night, and I haven't had any of the freezing problems today. I'll try adding the music files back and see if the problems return then.
* Update 11/29/2012
I put the 16GB card with ~4GB of music back in the phone, used it all day at work for listening to music/checking email/some web browsing without any crashes. (Still with live wallpaper disabled) So, I'm starting to think live wallpapers are causing my problem.
I responded to the same problem reported in a different phone sub forum, but figured I'd add it here since the HTC Hero has a relatively slow processor and is ripe for running into it.
The problem:
Install a new launcher and configure it as desired
Reboot
Discover default launcher is no longer set
Manually specifying the new launcher again shows all widgets appearing as an error
I thought this undesirable behavior was due to partially corrupt system data. I installed another ROM, from scratch, rebuilt it to my specifications, then added a different launcher once again (different one this time). Rebooting resulted in the default lost and also all widgets showing with an "error loading widget" message in their place.
I finally figured out what was going on. It's because I had selected the option "move to SD card" as the default when installing applications. So, the launcher was on the SD card. Well, this creates a problem with timing, because the SD card is prepared a little later on in the boot process, after the required time to load the launcher. The result? Android draws up the default launcher. And for some reason, the older launcher ends up compromised with some of its default settings.
Once I moved my launcher app back to phone memory, the problem went away.
Every time I reboot, some of my app icons disappear from my home screen and I have a to manually put them back to where they belong. I've noticed that only the apps that are stored on my SD card (adoptable storage) are effected. I am currently running CM 13 Nightlies with the Squid Kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/201...ment/kernel-squid-kernel-moto-g-2015-t3215726) but it has been occurring when on the default kernel as well. I don't want to just move all my apps to internal storage because I have a lot of them with 16 GB of internal. Thanks for any help!
I have the same problem.
Even worse - some icons disappear from the list of apps too. The one I noticed is Pixlr-o-matic - when I tap the middle button (the list of all apps), usually the icons from SD card which after reboot disappear from the screen could be found here, but Pixlr-o-matic disappears even there. However Google Play Store says the app is installed and gives me the "open" button which really opens the app, so the app is still on the phone.
So is there such a thing like forcing the launcher to re-scan all apps and validate the icons again?
Thanks
Moto G 3rd, with default Marshmallow rom from Motorola/Virgin Mobile/whatever it is (I mean I didnt modified the phone in any way pretty much)
I had a similar experience when I tried switching between the Google Launcher and Nova Launcher. Nearly all my app icons disappeared. I have no clue why. To fix I restored a TWRP back up and stopped switching launchers.
