try searching, there's been threads about wallpaper issues. I know, I made one (specifically about lockscreens).
Anyway, try re flashing. That's what fixed my issues. Its very hit and miss with the flashing for ICS.

handcent issue with gingerbread roms and refreshing

Does any one have these issues with all the gingerbread roms wiht underclock settings such as ICBINB and octaine rom?...basically whats happening is alot of times on handcent (text messaging app) when i touch the text i want to respond too it shows a dark black screen then goes back to the list of texts..i click on it again and it shows the same dark black screen..i keep doing it again and eventually it works..i notice this happens alot on low battery..also when i am on the web or text or something it takes awhile sometimes to refresh..the icons on my homepage take some time to appear..it would be nice if it was faster..
I have seen this same thing running Valhala 1.3.2. I never associated it with low battery. I'd usually either restart the phone which would fix it or just use the default sms app. I recently switched to Octane and so far haven't seen it in this ROM, but I've only been using it for 2 days.
Same thing is happening to me on valhalla 1.3.2

Recent Apps Bug

When I press the recent apps key while in the home screen, the lower part of the screen flickers. This happens when there are a lot of apps on the list. Has anyone else noticed this problem? The flicker is more like diagonal.
Here's a video:
I've seen it before on my tf101 as well

No idea. Hopefully Asus releases kernel source soon so devs can find all the screw ups.

Doesn't happen on my TF. You are probably using some old app that is causing issues on ICS.
Appears every now and then for me too. Doesn't annoy me too much, but I think there will be some minor updates by Asus that fix some bugs. I'm really curious how the support of the TF101 will be in the future, as there is the newer Prime now (and some other Tablets coming). What do you think, will we see official Jelly Bean for the TF101 by the end of the year or so or will we need to use CM10?
This happens on my TF also. I have noticed that the YouTube app also sometimes makes a similar graphical effect, and then recent apps + being in the YouTube app usually makes the tablet go crazy.
This is also very similar to the 'screen tearing' seen on the TF201, which leads me to believe its software, and will be ironed out by asus in time.
There is no problem with the recent app list on my transformer, but I've this in You Tube homescreen - the You Tube logo on the upper left corner is flickering.

For those who are not experiencing this, are you using a custom rom or stock? Also, this happens if there are more than 7 items on the recent apps list. I think this problem is related to the launcher itself. I tried iLauncher, and there is no flicker on the screen when I press the recent apps button.
I tried the SPB launcher and seems to be working fine.

Using Them EOS ROM, have the flicker with stock launcher and Apex but not with ADW EX launcher.
Guess since Apex is based on the stock it's happening with it too
I have it when I type on YouTube sometimes..

I've been through different ROMs -- ARHD and Revolver but same thing happen. I noticed though that this issue does not occur when the TF is upside down.
I finally found a temporary fix: hold down the key a little bit longer but not longer that it will take a screenshot. I hope this will be fixed on the next updates..
is a mistake that will have to fix asus.
I put several roms, several launchers ..
and any such error does not happen, except if I open more than 15 different applications, the error appears!
if placed vertically does not appear that annoying error.
Never had that issue. Not on stock (.17) or team EOS nightly which Im running now.
Im using nova launcher.

[Q] Diagnosing random reboots and stuttering

I had been using an older version of the PACman ROM for a while without too much difficulty, then did an in-place upgrade to the latest version, clearing cache/dalvik. This caused severe lag and stuttering. Using Chrome was next to impossible sometimes because scrolling would just stop, swipes would register late, and taps might hit the wrong link cause the page decided to shift down before registering the tap. Additionally, booting was horrendous, especially waiting for WidgetLocker to load and start working so I could unlock.
Tried switching to the Marla kernel. No help.
Then decided to go slightly further back to the source with the PA ROM. Stuttering is gone but phone randomly reboots frequently. I'll just be browsing FlipBoard or Facebook or using Chrome and the bootanim will appear. Tried hiding Halo. Didn't help. Tried installing Marla. Didn't help.
Also got CatLog to try to diagnose the reboots but I don't know what to look for. So many more errors at the E level than I thought there would be. And having to tap each one to find the approximate time of the reboot didn't help much.
Considering going to straight CM but I really don't want to lose the app DPI stuff from PA.
Any ideas?

Odin stock , factory reset then flash twrp and pa.
So I guess I haven't fixed it yet. Did the restore to stock, flashed Carbon, Marla, gapps. Would still freeze for a few seconds and reboot occasionally. I've updated to latest nightly 3 times now, every time formatting system/data/cache/dalvik.
The only thing I can think of is an incompatibility between Carbon and Marla. I've had same problem while using Moretz too.
On top of the reboots, sometimes YouTube stutters now, with the sound cutting out in a glitchy/clicky way, seeming to be CPU/IO related, not network. Never had that with stock so it's a big step backward.
More info: DPI is changed to 160, Xposed app settings, NFC frozen, Greenify, Lookout.
Not sure where to start to fix this. Reboots 2-5 times a day.

[Q] Processes Crash

I have a Sidekick 4G with the Glorious Overdose v5 ROM. Yesterday night, I found that everytime I restarted the phone, all of the phone's processes would crash and I would never get past the Setup Wizard after I rebooted. Before it started to crash, I had just put some new music on it and after I disconnected it from my computer, my phone crashed and nothing would work after. Is there a solution to this? Or is it just the update with the ROM? I would love to get my phone back to working again because I love Glorious Overdose.

You might have to go to recovery stright from phone being off
(Pull battery, put battery in, hold power & volume down)
You can try to fix permissions
You can back up an then advance restore after you wipe an should fix a lot of issues

Thanks! But, unfortunately, the Setup Wizard seems to still force close. All of the other processes don't seem to force close on me. Which is odd.

I think with GO Setup Wizard always crashes. I remember running a rom where I was unable to run the setup wizard

Are you talking about GO Apps? Like GO Launcher and all? Cause that's the launcher I had before it went all glitchy.
Ricandroid and myself kinda left that project on the back burnner, I did pick it up again a few weeks back and fixed some errors but have been busy, yeah the rom has loads of potential but is super buggy, really its a base off gov2 with some tweaks and theaming that ricandroid made into a rom called advitamin, which if you can find this its (in my opinion) the best rom for the sidekick
Maybe ric can upload it or someone else, ill try to find some time near a pc as I still have a copy of it before everything else was changed. So if you can get it, flash this until gov5 is fully running or even better, windixixs 2.3 rom has a full keyboard
School starts next week for me but I hope to have some time to pick up my sidekick again as I'm mostly a good stoping (pausing) point for my other projects
Happy flashing!

Apps randomly crashing out of the blue?

Hi, CM 10.1. Out of the blue a lot of my apps seem to be crashing at random. this inckudes the stock browser packed into CM, Trebuchet, reddit and pretty much anything it seems. My phone has been 100% solid until recently with these crashes.
What usually happens is, i will notice black "slits" flash on the left and right corners/sides of my screen, about 1/2 my screen in total between the two slits, then my phone will freeze. It doesn't seem to want to knock out of this state unless I tilt my phone back to portrait (I'm always using it in landscape). None of the hardware buttons work during this, nor the lock button. Anyone have a clue as to what's up with this? I feel like something is wrong with the GPU. I haven't installed anything new lately other than game emulators; however it's not happening only when they are running.
Another thing to add, is that once it decides to be fixed, if I continue playing on say an emulator it will freeze again shortly after.
Fix permissions?
If that doesn't work, try un installing the emulators

Tried it. Actually installed a different kernel and updated the firmware as well. Still happened
