I encountered a weird bug. If you open the properties button on the Launcher at top of screen and then click the "notification" tab, the tab pops up but never goes away. Click the Launcher setting tab again and nothing happens. At this point I rebooted the tablet to get the notification dialog box to go away.
Any ideas?
Hit the back arrow...
I tried that but did not work. All menus lock up after that. Reboot works.
Wow, that's definitely a bug - got the same thing with Launcher Pro when I clicked on Notifications. Needed to power down the device as it was (almost) frozen.
Anyone know if this occurs in builds before the 2.03 (performance pack)? I'm just wondering if this is the PP at work, or if this has been around since the first TnT Lite builds.

Roebeet, thanks for all your hard work
I can confirm the same results with 2.2.0 and launcher pro...almost frozen and my keyboard would not open.
Added to my Caveats section, just now. Thanks for catching this, smakcc!
Np. I really enjoy beta testing stuff.

I can confirm this on TnT Lite 2.00.
EDIT: I found that if I tap on the battery or wifi indicator, it resets the notifications, and the problem goes away after that.
Just wanted to confirm the same thing. I'll tap on the battery twice and that makes it go away. Glad I bought this thing, I love the feeling of discovery I'm getting from testing different apps and firmwares, haven't had this much fun since I hacked my first PSP!
Same Issue w/ ADW Launcher
I have encountered the same issue but only with ADW Launcher. Everytime I try it it eventually freezes with a white notification tab open. Launcer Pro and the standard launcher works fine. I have tried reinstalling ADW 3 different times and same results. I am running TnT Lite 2.2
I've had it happen with ADW and the swipe down action configured to pop up the notification panel. I never identified the actions it took to actually get it closed again, but I've been able to recover without having to reboot. 2.20 here for me also.

Wifi sleep policy does not work
Anybody else has this problem? My wifi immediately switches off if I put tab to sleep via power button, despite the fact that I put policy to never sleep.
If I'm understanding everyone here, when you swipe up or down on the home screen the battery notification bubble pops up and the controls on the top freeze? I fixed this by going into ADW's settings and disabled swipe up and down.
ETA it wasn't the battery bubble, it was notification bubble. My fix woiks - lol.
Tapping the wifi or battery icons does reset the notification dialog box. It would be nice not to have to do this though.

I found this to be a problem when you have gestures activated in ADW. I don't make my notification bar disappear, so I disabled gestures and the launcher notification bug went away. Of course, this does take away the gesture functionality, but it's something I only accidentally did anyway.
Ehun,
On a different note, thanks for your awe review of the g-tablet, made me go out and buy one!
You mention that it was hard to see buttons in the dark, I worked aroundit but using the buttons on launcher pro. If Only there was an app to poweroff the device it would be great.
Thanks.
I have this issue also. Mine comes from opening. FROM HOMSCREEN (LAUNCHER PRO) > MENU> NOTIFCATIONS.. when opened my window feezes and I reboot to correct...

Click on the actual notification bar and it should clear it out. It seems to be a screen glitche where the pop up ends up on the left side of the screen and slightly off screen.
Thanks for the reply. I will try as specified. you do a great job with the support! Thanks!
"Quick Boot (Reboot)" from Sirius Applications Ltd on the market will let you reboot, power off, or boot into recovery. It's free and it works since you've more than likely got root. Be careful though: it does have a 29.18kb footprint if you're short on space. B)

Has anyone found a fix for this yet? Only issue I've found thus far with the ROM. Otherwise, it's great!
Doesnt do that for me...
It does for me on the newest Fresh ROM. Doesn't really bother me being that I rarely unlock the screen that way. If I had someway to disable that method of unlocking alltogether, that would be better IMO.

I think it is a result of using the HTC Lockscreen rather than the stock Android one.
This happens on the Fresh 2.0d and DC2.05
It is driving me NUTS!
Any idea how to fix this?
Installing Espresso or DROID launcher from this thread will fix it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=657728
have you tried pressing menu once?
I'm almost positive that this has always been a feature of the HTC lock screen even in 1.5
If you don't fully slide the lock screen a message will appear stating either fully slide down the screen or press menu

That's hardly a "fix". That's like saying you can fix the low tire on your Porsche by buying a Yugo....
I would pay cash money for a ROM that got rid of the double menu press to unlock.

I would say the issue is hardly a "bug".
But, if you want it fixed, I've given you an option. I don't know if I'd compare installing the espresso launchbar or DROID launchbar to downgrading from a Porsche to a Yugo.... but, if you were really interested in fixing the issue without using espresso or DROID, you could install one of those launchers and then reinstall the stock launcher and see if the problem stays away.
Or, you could wait until someone else figures it out for you....
All I know is that I am running DamageControl v2.05 and no longer have the menu pop-up issue.
Droid launcher does resolve that issue. I have come to like the style of it for now until the next version of this rom comes out. This is an issue with flipz rom as well. The Droid launcher works good on each rom.
Just to everyone is clear, the problem is new with the recent roms DC and Fresh.
Pressing menu once brings up the lockscreen, pressing menu again unlocks the screen AND brings up the white menu popoup. It should only unlock the screen and not open the menu.
I have installed the black droid launcher onto fresh and I no longer have the problem.
yea i have teh same problem, and its annoying as hell as thats usually the way im used to unlocking my phone, and what they mean is, click home once to wake up phone, click again to unlock and it also brings up the home menu, it never did it on any other rom. its annoying

Just to be clearer. This was a built-in function from 1.5, its on page 10 of the Sprint manual. HTC considers this to be a feature, not a bug.

Incorrect. On stock 1.5, from the lock screen, you could press menu to unlock instead of swipe. Now, if you press menu from the lock screen, it will unlock AND pull up the menu.
Regardless of whether this is a feature or a bug, it was not like this in stock 1.5.
I'm not rooted, I really didn't feel like tinkering with the phone right now, but I'm kind of getting tired of Launcher2's performance and behavior since the last OTA... aside from the obvious bugs (forgetting which home screen you are on), quite often it takes FOREVER to "redraw" when I exit an app and it force closes 5-6 times a week.
Any prospects of them releasing a bug-fix patch? I really don't have time to play around with loading roms and then maintaining my own update schedule.

That's not a bug, it was changed on purpose in 2.1 to go the the 3rd homescreen when you press the home button. It does seem like a weird idea at first but it's actually increased my navigation speed considerably. Before I would forget which screen I was on sometimes and I would have to pause and check. Now I know which one it's going to be and I know instantly which was to swipe to get where I want to go. I think it was a good choice.

Yes it is. I suggest you check again.
From any home screen other than the 3rd one you mention, hit the apps softkey to open apps. Now press either of the home screen buttons, soft or hard and you will (as you say) get returned to home screen 3 or the middle one. This is fine and good. BUT take a look at the mini icons at the bottom of the screen.
They are supposed to show
** ** to indicate you are on screen 3.
However they will incorrectly show the screen you were on before heading off to the apps screen and not the one you are on now.

That IS the home screen bug.
Yeah, that and the occasional battery pulls I have to do to reset a frozen phone and the bluetooth random reboots are getting bothersome.

Yes that would be a bug. I haven't heard of anyone else with this problem nor can I replicate it myself.
I've heard of many people with that bug. I have it also. Only on the stock ROM. The background is also offset to where it would be if you were on the previous screen (the one the dots indicate), as opposed to being centered when on the middle screen.

I had that issue before I rooted and installed Enom's ROM, now I rely on noticing how far left/right my wallpaper is shifted to tell which screen I'm on, as I have the phone/browser buttons in the bottom corners instead of the dots.
I recently began using WidgetLocker. However, When I slide the keyboard out when the display is off, WidgetLocker force closes.
I'm running Bonsai Leafless 1.0.2, Gingerbread 2.3 theme, LauncherPro and WidgetLocker when the force close occurs. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is there a fix?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Can anyone confirm this issue or is it something with my settings?
well i am running midnight ext4 v2.4 with LP and WL and I have no issues when I open the keyboard with the display off, the screen come on and WL is in Landscape.
happens to me 2 i stopped using it.
I think I *may* have found the issue. I'm not sure if it's the ROM, the theme, or some of my settings...
WithOUT WL running...
When I slide open my keyboard, it brings me to my home screen and bypasses the lock screen.
With the keyboard "closed", when I press the power button it brings me to my lock screen. If I slide out the keyboard while at the lock-screen, it bypasses the lock and brings me to my home screen.
I didn't find a setting for this in the phone settings or within Spare Parts. I guess I'll have to wipe and reflash the ROM and take it one step at a time to track down the problem.
I have been having the same problem with WL. I use GoSms to display incoming text messages on my lockscreen and i've noticed if my phone moves into landscape mode while displaying the text, WL force closes. I have tried the settings within WL to force portraid screen orientation but it didnt solve the problem
Yeah getting FC's on my R2D2 as well. Every time i slide the keyboard or set the phone in the dock. Hoping a fix comes soon.
1. the battery display isn't correct when I turn off the phone and restart again. It turns 42% to 35% immediately. After I undergraded to 4.0.4, it turns back to 43% again.
2. My Wechat app can not open QQsnyc, it turns black and nothing happens.（not important）
3. I touch the menu button, and touch the Setting icon but it won't open.While I open the apps icons on main screen, if I touch menu button, three icons will appear on background, namely Wallpaper, Widgets and Settings, really do not know why.
4.Yep lots of apps can not run on ART. But this is not your problems i guess.
5.The internet browser will shut sometime for no reason.
Thanks so much for this wonderful rom.

1) - Nothing to do with Omni. The entire Galaxy S2 family (anything with a MAX17040 fuel gauge) has done this since day one - Touchwizz, CM, Omni, doesn't matter.
2) No clue here. A recent merge of Qualcomm stuff to frameworks/av appears to have broken some camera/video stuff on Exynos devices. Unfortunately the merge happened just before the Thanksgiving holiday so a number of us were spending a few days with family and haven't had time to get things cleaned up.
3) Not sure, guess that might be a launcher bug. I admit, I use Apex...
4) That's common to any device with kitkat
5) Haven't had this happen to me yet... Would need a logcat to take a look.

how to submit a bug report
Am new to OMNI and would like to submit a bug report.
Where can I find instructions to do that?
Almost every time I push the power button to turn the screen off and then unlock the phone again almost any app I'm in has been closed. I mean it can be literally lock the phone and unlock it right away and it takes me to my home screen instead of back to the app I was in. The app is still in my recents, but as soon as I unlock the phone it takes me to my home screen.
This is happening on my unlocked version directly from OnePlus. When I try it on my T-Mobile version it doesn't close the apps and unlocks right back where I left off. It also is working correctly on my Pixel 3 XL and the RAM management is currently absolute trash on that phone.
I'm using Nova Launcher on both phones, I have tried turning off battery optimization and advanced optimization and it still does the same thing. When I use the stock launcher this does not happen.
Anyone else seeing this or know how to fix it?

Thanks for the quick reply, it's really starting to annoy me and I'm running basically the same setup as you.
I've done everything short of a factory reset to try to fix it. I might have to do a factory reset when I have a little free time.

Thank you, well that helps me rule out that it has nothing to do with routing or bootloader unlocked. I was starting to think that might have had something to do with it because my T-Mobile version doesn't do this.

It doesn't always do it. I just did a test and the xda app was right there when I unlocked.
But it happened to me literally every time I locked the screen last night. Even for this short amount of time.

Same thing here it doesn't always do it but it doesn't have enough to be really annoying. I can't seem to find any Rhyme or Reason as to why it's doing it.
Edit: I just walked my dog for 10 minutes came back unlock my phone and it's still on this XDA page like it's supposed to be. SMH
Ok, so this has bothered me a lot as well and I have mentioned this and a few other issues in one of my earlier posts.
It's definitely a bug especially, as it does not happen everytime (only most of the times) and OnePlus has to fix it.
However, I do have a theory on why this happens. OnePlus has added a new feature (quick launch?) which let's you access app shortcuts when you press and hold the fingerprint scanner even after unlock. Now this overlay would presumably not work very well if you're inside an app.
So I think OnePlus takes you to the home page to prepare for this quick launch shortcut overlay display.
Obviously, this is a new feature and I believe needs some more development and bug fixing.
I would've hoped that at least turning the quick launch feature off would rid us of this problem, but sadly it doesn't.
Hopefully it's fixed soon.
can you guys check if you have my prob aswell?
copy paste from my thread
I have a super annoying Problem when using Nova Launcher. My Dialer minimizes when i move my Phone away from my Ear. To reproduce: Open Dialer, minimize the Dialer, open again and make a Call, block the Sensor with your hand shortly. Looks like the Dialer crashes but it minimizes. For ending the Call i have to press the little icon in the Top Bar to maximize it first. Super annoying and with this Problem Nova Launcher is unusable. Somebody else with that Prob or someone have a suggetion to fix that?
I noticed the same problem, I thought I was just swing up to go back home before I hit the power button to turn off the screen out of habit and not realizing it. Glad to know I'm not crazy. I am stock from one plus but running Nova launcher.

Not my find but there's an update to the OnePlus launcher in the Play Store that once you update the issue with Nova goes away.
I updated from the Play Store and tried every single app on my phone and when I unlocked my phone they were still there no more going straight to the home screen.
