It's a known problem but I don't think I've ever heard a CM dev say a fix was in the works. The "solution" is to use version 5.11 or lower of Maps, which doesn't have the bug. I know someone's posted a link to an apk of 5.11, but I don't know where it is now...

So I flashed my phone to the HyperDragon III ROM a few months ago. Everything works smoothly and I had no problems at all. Only small issue was the keyboard lag and that issue was addressed in a separate post.
After using the Keyboard Lag fix, my phone does not fully load. I get to the splash screen and everything and then the Start Bar loads as well as the bottom Calender and Contacts menu. The screen will display my background and it will say "Tap Here to launch TouchFlo". I tap there and nothing happens.
I've been patient and I let it sit there and nothing happens. I can get to my text messages but it runs unusually sluggish and will display an overview of all messages but when I try to open a specific message, it freezes up.
This is actually the second time this has happened. The first time I removed the Keyboard Lag CAB but the issue continued. I left the phone alone and reset it a few times and miraculously it started working fine.
I have since removed the Keyboard Lag CAB completely yet it has still happened. Anybody else have the same problem or have a solution? Any help would be great.
Never flashed HDIII rom's so I have no idea why you are having that problem. Have you already post this issue on the rom's threat?

Not on the HDIII thread. I did originally post my problem on the Keyboard Lag thread. 10 minutes after posting the first time my phone went back to normal so I went back and edited the post.
So try it on the HDIII threat. That's the best where you can get help related with that rom.
Also, maybe some other user had already that problem and have some solution or is waiting for some. Ah, before post the question, that some time to read the full threat... your answer can be already there.
Thanks. I just figured I would post. I've been reading the thread for a while now. Its over 900 pages so I thought I would ask first
You can also try to do a search on that threat http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3102963&nojs=1#goto_threadsearch
Happy New Year
So my phone just started working again. After about an hour or so of resetting and stuff it displayed Lauching TouchFlo and its normal again. I'm just afraid to ever turn it off again.
did anyone solve this problem?! cause mine just randomly stopped launching touchlo and I dont know how to get out of it?!
Closing thread
Please post issues with HyperDragon rom in the HyperDragon thread, instead of opening new ones.

My search button is flickering, firing itself off in bursts, and I want to completely deactivate it. The flickering was/is apparent in Clockwork recovery --> Key test as well.
It first happened using a 2.3.4 deodexed rom (been using it for a month or so, but all of a sudden it started firing off), then I flashed a CM7 based rom which completely killed the button. I figured it was a hardware issue, but to be sure I flashed an ASOP rom (ZuluZulu) and after a couple of hours of use the search button button started firing off again. Between the periods of bursts, the button is as dead as ever, meaning it's lit, but does not respond (haptic feedback, opening the search app) at all.
Since I don't use the button at all, deactivating it completely would not only resolve the issue but save me the trouble of accidentally hitting it once in a while as well
I've searched a bit and found this answered thread over at Google: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=49e8ca84071d51a4&hl=en

I have a nexus s running 2.3.3 and I will be using it normally and all of a sudden it will start a voice search without reason but, it opens and closes it really fast for as long as it wants. It only stops when I lock the phone and it does it in all my apps. I don't want to have wasted my money on a p.o.s phone just cause i can't stop it from wanting to search. Help it happens all day and more than ten times a day.

Hello again everyone,
Good news -- we've identified the source of this problem which is entirely software based. We're developing a fix which we can deploy with an over-the-air update. I don't have a timeline for when that'll happen yet, but when it's ready I'll let you know.

I don't know if it has anything to do with anything as not even wipe + re/flash different roms changes it though.
First off, there are other threads on this topic but none of them seem to have an answer, and if you find an answer please post a link instead of telling me to search more.
Sometimes the phone randomly becomes unresponsive, its not with any certain app or anything, it just randomly happens. Usually pressing the sleep button and turning it off and on fixes it. It started in Android Revolution a while ago, stopped, and then came back a month later, I wiped everything and installed MIUI hoping this would solve my problem, well it didn't.
current setup
CWM 3.0.2.6
MIUI 1.7.8v1
FULL WIPE
CATTLEPROD KERNEL NOT OVERCLOCKED
DEFAULT THEME
Like you stated there are other threads on this. Please use them instead of opening a new one. There are many things that can lead to lag. I would look for others on the same rom as you and compare.

Everytime I make a phone call, the screen goes black for a while, the phone becomes frozen, then it appeared that the phone app has been force closed. The issue sometimes repeats with Messaging as well. I'm running Zeus 5.1, you guys know any idea how to fix the problem? Thank you
Is there anybody here who can help?

Hi. Read the last few pages of zeus q/a ..it may apply to you also. Gl
Btw..try to post in the correct rom forum.
Hi, i searched all over the internet.But i couldn't find anything related to this issue.Everytime i reboot my device in the morning,if i have 2 home screens , definitely one would be duplicated or one would be erased.I should say that duplicated screen or disappeared screen doesn't come back to its original position until i rearrange those screens.I'm on stock 4.4 Kitkat.I haven't root or did anything to the device.I don't know what causes this bug.Anybody have this same issue?I would appreciate any help.Thank you.
So no one encountered that kind of bug?
update to the latest 4.4.1 came out a couple days ago and see if that fixes the problem.
Are you running a beta of any launchers or just running the stock one?
Never had this issue when I was on stock 4.4.
let us know

Sorry, i expressed myself wrongly.I don't reboot every morning,just boot my phone after overnight charge.
Guys, I have the same problem. About twice a week I am losing one of my 4 home screens.
It always happens after a reboot of the N5. Always the 4th one is gone, and it doesn't come back if I do another reboot.
It's not at every reboot, but surely annoying, since the whole screen is gone.
Haven't had the problem with 4.4, started with 4.4.2.
And pls, no questions, why I reboot my device, this doesn't help to this topic.
Hi,
I am the one who started the tread.The bug is gone after the 4.4.2 update.Hope you find a way to fix that.

Wrong, if you're rebooting cause you're having an issue it could be related to the problem of losing your screens. More information is always better and if you provide incomplete information then people will ask questions.
Please don't ask for help and then act like you're above the people trying to help. Thank you.
There is another bug regarding this and is it related to GEL where some people are ending up with an extra home screen and have to hold an icon and release to get rid of it. I am pretty sure it is related.
Sent from my Nexus 5

Every night, I turn my phone off. In the morning it will be turned on again
No technical reason.
It's a strange bug, never had this with other versions of Android / phones.

Hi,
I have all the same problem about the disappearing additional home screens: it appens randomly(apparently) when ,at the moring, I turn on my Nexus 5.
(last standard firmware 4.4.2 on,GEL Launcher and Google Now disable).
I found this other strange thing: when i found disappearead additional home screens, if I had new home screens with only app in each, when I reboot, SOMETIMES, i found the old disappeared home screens(whit the preovious app icons in them)
I thought it was a problem of "Clean Master" "Delete Junk Files" operation but I cant reproduce the problem everytime.
Anyone have hints about this problem?
thanks
PS: Happy New Year!!

It's the same for me. Today I turned on the phone and the last home screen was disappeared. No way to recover it. I'm thinking to install an alternative launcher.
