Hi everyone,
1st thread I startup.. I have the TMOUS HTC HD2.. While messing around with the phone I came upon the following.. It's a hassle to have to go to Settings then click on All Settings to try and get to Remove Programs, Bluetooth, Today Etc..
Here is a neat trick to have the All Settings Icons on your Start Menu.
1. Go to Settings/All Settings
2. Click and hold the Icon you want.
3. Select Move to top.. the icon remains in its original location..
Now go to your Start Menu and the Icon you had clicked on will now appear here!!
I included Images for better illustration on before and after, you can see i moved the Bluetooth Icon over. You can also delete the copied Icon from the Start Menu by simply holding it and selecting Move Down. It will not be deleted from the All Settings screen.
This is not that big of a deal but I figured it might make it easier for others as it does for me..
Check out screen shots..
I guess this could go in the Apps and Themes forum but I thought I'd stick it here in case the issue is broader than me thinking it might be related to CHT removal.
Decided to uninstall CHT 1.7 (and Advanced Home Tab 2.2.4) after getting fed up with lag/freezing/etc, and now I have three problems on the home screen:
1. The top-left part of the calendar (day, date) widget seems to be the same size as the CHT version, i.e. smaller than the default one, and therefore sits 20-40 pixels away from the rest of the calendar. EDIT: it won't even let me launch the calendar or alarm by pressing on it (or any area of the widget)
2. I can no longer scroll the apps to reveal the additional 6 below the 3 that sit at the bottom of the screen. EDIT: this has just started working.
3. The 'Menu' button no longer works on this screen either - it flashes upon touch but nothing pops up - so I can't access any quick links etc.
Can't find anything on the forum search or elsewhere.
Also, CHT may not have uninstalled properly because it won't disappear from the list of "removable" apps. Does this mean it's left some legacy code that is forcing the calendar to mis-display, etc?
Thanks

Decided to reinstall CHT 1.7 along with the editor and see what happens. Running only one screen of apps (4x4) to see if this makes it more stable.
make sure you turn off sense before uninstalling....

Ok - so do I go to settings > menu > all settings > today > items > check Windows Default before uninstalling ... and then uncheck it after reinstalling?
Thanks
yup that's the one.....
check default, uncheck sense, soft reset, uninstall, reset, start up sense again.
Not guaranteed to work but its worth a try....
hope that helps.....

I'll put this out there just in case anyone else gets into a pickle like I did earlier today!
If you decide to install Cookies Home Tab, then install Advanced Home Tab, only to discover that the version of CHT is a lot newer than the version of AHT you thought you had....
Sense really gets messed up, so much so, all you get is white background and no response, to *anything*.
I managed to get my beloved HD2 back from the brink of certain hard reset by:
Attempting connection to my laptop (Win7) using ActiveSync (thankfully it was set to that as default!) and attempted the uninstall of AHT through Mobile Device Center.
This appeared to go ok, except MDC did close unexpectedly after the uninstall.
I brought it back up, and it was still installed. Ok, plan B.
Plan B:
Just before the SIM card PIN entry screen (I'm guessing this screen pauses the boot up just enough) you can open the start menu, this allows access to your programs.
I used Total Commander to launch CHT installer (I always keep cabs on my SD card) which attempted uninstall and failed on a few files (as Sense was still switched on, switching it off wasn't an option due to not being able to get this far until now).
I then managed to get into the Windows Settings via the Start menu, and disabled Sense before rebooting. My god, it was slow booting that time!
From here, I reinstalled CHT and CHTE, uninstalled AHT and all is well!
on home screen click the menu button --> manage apps
even on a newly reflashed phone,i found it would load infinitely the first time you run it and you would have to quit and reopen
otherwise,just let it circle until your battery drains out!
My phone does this also. Rooted and sideloaded on 4.1.83. Can't explain it.
Hello,
since I installed my SD card there is a SD Card symbol in the infobar after every start, which says: For trasnferring photos and media. If I klick it opens an app called "my files" and shows the data on the card.
I can just swipe it away, but it will appear again, latest with the next restart. Any chance I can control settings for this?
Thanks
Felix
This has been answered multiple times already, this is normal behavior and there is no way to disable this. Call it a Marshmallow Novelty
Disable the "My Files" notifications, and it'll stop.
Edit: No, after double checking on my Edge, that doesn't seem to do the trick. The notification is from the system framework itself, so disabling the notifications will disable all system notifications, which isn't a smart thing to do.
Hello everyone!
First, I'm sorry for my English. I'll try to do my best to be clear and not too painful to read.
I post here tonight because my Moto X XT1562 is very messy. It's totally buggy actually.
The WHAT:
Some functionalities just disappeared. Here is some:
- Notifications aren't displayed at all. The notification bar stay empty, even when I swipe it down. Notification sounds are OK however.
- The quick settings panel isn't displayed... When I swipe down the right side of the top bar, there is only the notification bar who appear (empty...) like if I swiped down the left side. Nothing happens neither with a Nova widget for example to launch the activity corresponding to the quick settings panel.
- The Home button and the Menu app button do not works. When I touch them, they respond (they are circled by a halo and the phone vibrate) but don't produce anything.
- Some entries are missing in Settings like the entry to configure the quick setting panel. Also, some entries are displayed but when I touch them nothing happens, like the "Users" entry. Moreover, in "Backup & Reset > Factory data Reset" the "Reset Phone" button stay grey (unavailable).
- The "Developers options" menu isn't available neither. In this case, I had a toast with something like: "Developers options are not available for this user". In my actual configuration (spoiler: aka after flashing a new ROM), I can't activate the developers options at all.
- Probably other things but I'm not sure it matter. Apps work great however, even if there are now some force close. And just to be clear: it's not a touch screen issue.
So my phone is still usable, but it's not handy at all. Specially the fact that I can't go on the Home screen with the home button or switch between opened apps with the app button.
The WHEN:
These is happens after I try to move data that were on the sdcard in the internal storage through the built in tool in the storage settings. In fact, my sdcard (used like "internal storage") was almost full and my true internal storage with some space. I knew all my sdcard data could not go on my internal storage, but I thought Android could deal with that and will only transfer a part of these data. BUMMER. Anyway, during the process the phone had reboot and then the mess happens: internal storage was overfull, sdcard still full too, duplicate data were on both, etc. And of course, the previous bugs came. I deleted data manually (primarily pictures) and used the phone a couple of days like this.
Just so you know and because I suspect an perm issue, I have to add that a couple days before this episode, I also tried to create a second android user through the Users setting. But nothing happens after the asked reboot. I didn't insist.
The WHAT-THE-****:
- First, I was suspecting that the last boot didn't work properly because the internal storage was full. So after I made some space on the device I rebooted: nothing.
- After I delete all my pictures on the sdcard, I launch the data migration process to give it a new chance to finish properly. It did, but... nothing.
- I tried to wipe dalvik cache and the regular cache through TWRP: nothing.
- Like I suspected a permission issue, I tried to "Fix Contexts" with TWRP. Nooooothing.
- Very confident, I tried a factory reset through the Android settings but it was unavailable. So I did it in the bootloader. But... NOTHING!
- Well, I decided to flash again my ROM (XDRom) but I chose the last build to upgrade it. Flashing a new ROM replace most of the files so that MUST work. Guess what? Nothing!!
- Desperate, I tried to flash/upgrade the squid kernel. But No-****ing-thing... :crying:
I have no idea how it's possible. So if someone has encountered something similar or knows how that can happen, please, tell me.
I'm using TWRP, Squid Kernel r19 and the ROM XDR 24.107-52-5 (Android 6.0.1). Right now, my phone isn't rooted but it was when it happened. I was also using Xposed with Gravitybox and XBlastTools.
Thanks to everybody!

when everything else failed, use rsdlite and flash stock rom.

If you're using XDrom you need to root it and use XDRsetup app that comes with it (you can also download it separately, link is in XDR'S thread). This will fix all your issues
Your phone is not provisioned. You can fix this by re-running the setup wizard activity using Activity Launcher.
I've been seeing this issue pop up on several Moto devices since last few months, even on my own device.
EDIT: XDROM thread mentions this on the thread clearly
Use XDR Setup app after first boot to provision the device (unlock UI, Developer's options, screen lock, etc.)

Well, thanks so much everybody. Sorry for my late answer. You're right, my phone wasn't "provisioned". I wasn't aware at all about this not-a-bug-but-a-feature. It sounds still strange for me and it's surprising that this "issue" appears by itself but whatever, it's fix. Thanks again!
