[Q] Original lockscreen not working with ADW

I just recently installed ADW and I really love it. But my original lockscreen doesn't work anymore and causes the phone to send e-mails, etc. by itself and drain the battery. I would like to get the old lockscreen back if possible, otherwise, what would be a good lockscreen that works with ADW?
I would like one that doesn't activate the screen unless i press the power button at the top.

i just realized that No Lock somehow is incompatible with ADW so i uninstalled it and my original lockscreen is back.

So it wasn't due to ADW then, the issue is with Nolock.

same with me, no issues at all.

My only issue with my charge.

So pretty often when u back out or exit an application back to the home screen all my applcations has disappeared for about 5secs then reappear. Does this happen to anyone else? Thanks stock phone too.

I've seen it happen before on my phone. It was before rooting and before debloating. It hasn't happened lately though.
Sometimes when I'm running many apps in the background or running 1 app that taxes the CPU heavily, I get something similar.

Happens to me with Gmail. I'll back out of an email to go to my inbox, and the phone looks like it's backing out but goes right back to the same message.

Does rooting fixes it?

Not necessarily. By rooting, you are able to remove/freeze all the crap that Verizon pre-installed onto the phone, which causes a lot of lag, delay, and slowed responsiveness. It wont solve all your problems though.
Also I noticed a pretty big difference when touchwiz was frozen. I don't dislike touchwiz, but due to the fact that it keeps my Charge laggy I'd rather have it removed and use Launcherpro.

Not exactly, but rooting can get you half-way there.
1) Create a file called local.prop, which contains the following line:
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=0​2) Save the local.prop file in your /data directory (off of root).
This will try to force your Launcher application to stay in memory. It doesn't guarantee that you won't get a screen refresh, but it makes it occur less often.
I attached a ZIPped copy of local.prop below. You will need root access, and a file manager like Root Explorer to enable writing to your /data directory.

Has anyone tried running the V6 Supercharger script on their Charge yet? I tried it on my OG droid (only 256 RAM) and it completely eliminated these annoying redraws. The solution is supposedly compatible with any android device. I haven't had any memory issues yet, so I haven't got around to implementing it.

I ran the supercharger script and changed my settings to "mutiltasking". Everything's works great, but I haven't really had many memory issues since flashing a debloated ROM.

Sense restarts after installing/uninstalling apps w/new Market!

I updated to the new Market and it works perfectly BUT - Sense seems to restart after I leave the Market and have just uninstalled or installed/updated apps. Is this normal behavior? I've been using Launcher Pro for most of the time I've had the phone and this is extremely annoying. I understand why this is happening since on HC 3.1 the launcher refreshes/restarts after installing/updating apps to make sure widgets are updated, etc. HOWEVER, Sense takes too long to restart where as the stock HC 3.1 launcher is fast.
Anybody else having issues?

I have the original market that came with the phone (didn't look right to call it the 'stock market' )..and I still have the same issue. Sense always reboots after any install.

Not experienced any issues at all with the Market - old or new

I got new market no issues.

Using the market that came stock on the phone and no restarts with any app install or exit of the market.

Hmm. So it's a mix. I wonder what causes it then, maybe having a certain app or widget installed?

I have problem with sense restarting but not sure if its after an app install..

What ROMs are people using? Do you have apps disabled with temp root?
I'm on the one on my sig and not temp rooted so no apps disabled

I get a sense reboot most times but not all. Most of the time when I install an app from the market and press back multiple times before the software catches up, it reboots. And just now. I uninstalled an application, and hit the back button and sense reboots. And if I just view the market, browse around and hit back to exit, it didn't as well. Maybe it's sense's way of soft rebooting?

It keeps happening, it's driving me crazy. Happens on installs, uninstall and updates.

Complete stock, never rooted or anything..

This happened on my wildfire. It had something to do with the app being installer onto the SD card.

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

I do not recall Sense restarting on the original market. With the new market I have seen it happen 80% of the time. For me though it seems to happen if I either go through things too fast or spend to long within market. If I pop in and out I have not seen a reboot yet. Not something I have really tried to force just what I have seen thusfar.
Edit: Phone is stock

I uninstalled the new market, doesn't seem ready for prime time or the would have a update in the market. It didn't show updates for me.

Do you guys have the Spare Parts app installed and changed the way it manages memory? I changed it to aggressive and Sense would restart each time I hit the home button. I changed it back to normal and it hasn't happened since.
If you guys haven't, then maybe try installing it and manually changing it to normal.

Was the new Market for me. I uninstalled it and it seems to have fixed the issue.

Battery life suddenly sucks on infused 1.5

So until about a week ago I had jusy been using the infused rom, and my phone would be unplugged at 6am, and by 2pm still have about 97 percent battery life. I was using setcpu to underclock to 800mhz, and nothing more.
A few days agoil I tried installing go launcher and launcher pro to check em out, and battery life was absolute crap so I uninstalled them, however my battery life is still terrible. Now I have to charge it to 100% every 6 or so hours, even though I reverted back to infused. Can anyone tell me if theres an obvious solution, or help me out? Would a wipe work?

A battery calibration helped me.

How do you do that?

Charge the phone to full (wait for it to say "full battery" in status bar)
Unplug the charger
Turn off the phone
plug the charger back in
wait until the battery icon says 100%
turn the phone back on
charge to full again (the notification will say battery full)
Reboot into clock work mod recovery
navigate to advanced -> wipe battery stats
reboot phone

Also, there's an app for it called battery calibrator I used and it seems good.

there's also the possibility the DRM service for the media hub is bugging out (happened to mine earlier)
there was a thread about it a week days ago.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161949
Note: Some people were reporting issues where getting rid of these services were causing problems with the stock music player and/or other things. read through the post.
I personally haven't had those issues after freezing those two apks with titanium backup (I'm on Infused 1.5.0 and the drm apks are in it for whatever reason)

Personally I didn't disable any of these DRM services. I disabled the media hub though cos I don't use it. I disabled the media scanner too, and replaced Gallery app with QuickPic app.

Dont get rid of the drm. I did and my notifications were not working until i reboot, but happens again after a while..set it back to how it was, and everything was fine
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

just kill the drm service. settings > applications > running services. dont actually delete the apks. youll start having some things crash on you. hopefully its not something we need after gingerbread.

Try a different kernal ... recommend infusion 1.8 and then UnderVolt the Ghz
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

So...i realize now I uninstalled the drm services, that must be why my clock and video player keep crashing and possibly affecting battery. I dont think I backed them up, does anyone know where I can find copies of the apks?

You should be able to get them from the 1.5.0 ROM zip under /system/apps.

You shouldn't be killing tasks or clearing ram.

yea i dont use it it does it on its own out of nowhere.I notice though when i go into the task manager and clear ram it also disables it(setcpu) so it must be that when the screen shuts off it auto kils setcpu even if i didnt do it i guess ill freeze it with bloatfreezer hoping that theres no weird results from doing so thank you guys,just came from an atrix 4g and its way diferent with motorola phones.
