Google now launcher resetting every reboot

everything on my homepage except docks gets wipe off every time i power off/reboot. any idea why, kinda restless when you have to rearrange everything again

Do you have xprivacy installed or similar modules / apps? Is it blocking the Google Now Launcher, especially from allowing it to save info?
I guess if it's resetting you can try to clear it's data and cache and see if that kicks it back to default settings and allows saving.

Nope, the only modules I have is gravity box

Missing hangouts notifications

So I'm in a strange situation. I was using the L preview and noticed I was not getting notifications for all of my hangouts. Sometimes I'd get a notification other times I'd open the app and see a bunch of missed messages.
I figured it must be because of the preview (even though I hadn't seen anyone else have the issue).
Flashed back to stock. Full stock image even relocked the boot loader.
But it's still happening. I'm not getting notifications. No sounds. No vibration. No icon in the status bar. No notifications in the shade.
Has anyone had this happen to them? Any ideas?
I've obviously already tried clearing the apps data. Changing notification sounds. Signing in and out.
I don't have cell service. I use my phone on WiFi only for the time being.

i just had this issue coming from the L preview to slimkat, i fixed it by uninstalling hangouts with titanium backup and downloading it from google play store.

Solved it!
Solved this by going to apps in settings and clearing all data and cache from the app, then disdable an reenable the app.
After I logged in again it worked.

[Q] Back Button Problem

For several days now I've been having this problem appear in different apps. First, it happened on the Facebook app, then on an app called Goal, and most recently on the Textra (SMS Alternative). What basically happens is when I press on the back button (be it the capacitive button on the bottom of the screen or the button in the app that appears on top), the screen just refreshes. I'm not talking about a refresh like on an internet browser, but more like it redraws the screen really quickly. I basically get stuck in a specific screen. What's worse is that even if I do somehow get out of the screen,the next time I come back to the app (say I switched apps for a minute), I will be back in that same screen.
No matter what I do, it's almost impossible to get rid of the screen. I tried clearing the running apps, and even if I start it over again it will go back to that same screen. The only thing that has so far worked has been either clearing data for the app, which can be troublesome especially if it's an app that requires some sort of a setup, I end up having to do that all over again. Or in some cases, I reboot the system.
I have recently installed a memory booster software, and this only occurred to me know that I'm writing this message. I will uninstall it to see that was what was causing the problem, but if it isn't, does anyone have any idea what it couuld be?
I'm running NOVA Prime 3.0.2 on the Ultra MAXX.

Have you booted into Safe Mode to see whether this same behavior occurs?

How do I go about doing that? I'm not rooted.

This can be done on stock unrooted. Power off, but long press "Power off" to see the option to boot into safe mode.

[HELP] Time stucks when screen locks.

Hello pro bros,
my friend has a sony xperia L running stock android 4.2.2, NOT rooted, and no calendar or clock or lock third party apps installed.
and here is the problem,
When screen is locked Time Freezes! (like when an app suspended)
lock screen Clock shows correct time, but clock in notification (right-up corner) freezed.
and suddenly after unlocking screen clock will be OK.
Things I done:
restart phone
Run without SIM
Run with different SIM
Change Time settings (24/12, Automatic/manual, ...)
connect to any other wifi router!
Run in SafeMode
Only thing I did not Done is Factory reset or reFlash, because the main problem for him is that "Alarm clock not working but its not matter because I have a real dock clock! "
but I really want to know where is the problem, its no matter to fix.

sounds easily like SystrmUI.apk is freezing.... have you any battery saver app that could maybe force close it?
SystemUI.apk is a system apk that manages the Statusbar, notifications on bar, and the buttonts on downside...(back,menu,app-drawer)
if this app got freeze or force closed by battery saver (wakelock detector etc) the showed time will freeze also
edit: another cause could be the using of a Theme

Rather than a solution, this is wiping out (or erasing, or covering over) the question, He done the Factory reset!!!!

restarting the phone 3-4 times did the job for me
