[Q] Missing dialer,contacts, and others - XPERIA X10 General

Hey guys, I'm having a series bug or issue with my phone. After I got the radios working yesterday, I installed some new apps and everything went fine. But now my dialer and contacts just disappeared! I can't make calls or even view my contact list. Also ontop of that, my status bar will only show signal level, battery and time. But it will not show the date, even when I ask it too in cyanogenmod settings.
I tried searching for an x10 app repository but I can't find one. I'd really like to restore things like mediascape and especially my dialer and contacts.

When I first installed I need to change the notification colours to everything readable on the status bar. Has the dialler disappeared or just force closes. I know I had issues after installingvthe Arc pack due to the InfinityView issue

The dialer has straight up disappeared. No phone capabilities at all when I try to call, but I can receive? And when I receive calls, the voice sounds all warped and hollowish? Does it have something to do with the baseband I installed?

Prevent "stacking" of alerts and notifications - how?

I'd like to prevent my notifications and program "badges" (can't think of the proper word!) From stacking up in my notification bar at the top of the screen.
It happens when i have a lot of icons there already, ie wifi, alarm etc. Despite there being plenty of room in the middle of the bar, my notifications all stack into one icon on the extreme left hand side with the number of different programs/notifications shown as a number.
Is there a way to prevent this behaviour and force android to use all the available space on the notification bar?
I'm running Ion r2 on my Dream, although my phone has always done this, with the stock rom and JF 1.5 as well.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer!
Sure, keep the number of notifications low and they won't stack. They stack when you run out of space on the bar. I know you think that there's lots of space, but if you unstack them, rest assured that there are definitely too many to fit in the space available.

Unfortunatly there is no forseen solution to this problem. I experience it as well. I think the best we can hope for are new phones with higher resolutions.

This isn't right. There is definitely space for 4 more icons, yet it stacks with just 2.

I'm on Ionr2 and I have 4 icons (email, Toggle Settings, Twidroid, USB) on the left side before the stacking starts. I'm not sure if it's gone up to 5 or not.

When the phone is in portrait mode it stacks when there are more than 2 items on the left hand side - even though there is space for more items. When in landscape, it shows all the notifications/app icons individually.
Very annoying, since the home screen will only display in portrait mode and wont auto rotate when the phone is turned.
Im convinced there must be something i can do to fix this issue!

I was talking about portrait mode. I'm pretty sure there's a fix since I do not have this problem. However, my home screen does rotate though, since I have dxTop.
Do you happen to have Quick Calendar installed? Even though Quick Calendar did not display a little icon on the top for each item in the list and only say in my "ongoing" area on the bar, when I removed it the stacking you talk about went away! It was driving me crazy too, but it seems like either Quick Calendar or the OS sees each entry, even though it doesn't have an icon and counts them.
Not sure if it will help you, but my phone has been working properly after I disabled Quick Calendar. It's a shame, I like the app. :-/

Genius! Removing Quick Calendar solved the problem - thanks!
I've put a link to this thread at the devs website - perhaps when he has solved the issue he could let us know, so we can go back to using his otherwise useful app.
Never had this type of problem, only thing is that my colors blend together because of the custom theme I am using >.<
Ok, I confirmed with the developer this morning, it is QuickCal, though I guess any other app that hides icons would also have this problem as it is a restriction in the os. Jim (the developer) works for google and plans to petition his employer to make some changes to the way the notify bar works. The os allows the developer to 'hide' notification icons, but they still take up an invisible space.
We should see an update in the next couple of days to make a nicer widget with more info and smaller font size, so this may satisfy me if the widget is decent.

Awesome - I already miss QuickCal and I only uninstalled it yesterday!

Missing Live Messenger icon?

Now I seem to be missing the icon within MSN messenger that you click on to go back to the contact list once you're in a conversation window. It's the little green guy icon. It's just a blank space now but if I click it anyway it will still go back to the contact list but it just looks weird now with nothing there.
I know it's something I installed that likely made it disappear but after trying to remove all my hacks/customizations I only ended up screwing my whole phone up and had to restore to a back up to get it all back working again. All of my customizations are Anastasia theme related.
Anyone familiar with the app that causes this bug??

[Q] Notifications icons on Ogo2's Beta2/3 Gingerbread with Sense Rom

Ok guys, .... It's my turn to ask newbie question..
I'm using Ogo2's fresh Betas rom and besides some minor issues, everything is working fine, I can use the rom every day without problems.
I just noticed something and although it is not really relevant, I just would like to know whether I am alone or not, and whether it could be fixed "easily". If not, then not a problem at all!
The fact:
The notifications icons are too large for some applications, and cannot fit within the notification bar. But not for every applications, only a few (such as FourSquare, Wifi Status, ... But no problem for 3G Whatchdog, WhatsApp, ...).
And if I change the icons with the UOT Kitchen, to change the battery icon for example, then the new icon is also too large and doesn't fit the notification bar.
I already used those apps and the UOT Kitchen previously, for other roms, and there was not such "issue", so I am pretty sure it is related to this rom.
Again, it is more curiosity than a problem I couldn't live with, I only want to know if I am the only one to get that, and if something can be done by myself to change it.

Missing/Broken Functions on Rooted Note4 with Xposed installed

Starting a separate thread for missing/broken functions on Rooted Xposed Note 4 On Stock Touchwiz Kitkat 4.4.4
HELP :
Customised the phone in every possible way except three functions still missing :
a. Lockscreen widgets not available with phone on Pattern Lock, only on Swipe or None. Used to be easily available on my earlier JB Note3. But now Xposed Modules for Lockscreen Widgets or Widgetlocker are not working. Only way I can get them is by installing an S5 Xposed module for Locker Widgets and then Samsung Multiple Widgets Module. But that only gets me going on Swipe Lock, not pattern/Fingerprint/PIN.
b. Unable to change the stock dialer's background color. Earlier in my Note 3 JB had black color when call was dialing which changed to green only once the call connected, in this stock Kitkat ROM the color is green beforehand so that without vibration its impossible to know if the call is connected unless you are listening through earpiece. All 3rd party Dialers are of no use since at the time of actual calling they all take you to stock Dialer.
c. Whenever I try to select any text in any app, soon as I take the selection cursor behind the popped-up keyboard the selection cursor disappears and I CANNOT select any more text below. In the previous JB ROM, I could continue scrolling down and selecting text automatically even behind the Keyboard, but not anymore. Dont know if this is stock behavior or one of the apps/Xposed modules triggered this. Members can guide.
PLEASE HELP.
Anyone can help me with these 3 functions please? Im desperate, can try any paid app or module too.
Anyone??????

Just to update point no.c is resolved. Instead of using stock Gmail App if you use Email App then the problem disappears, and I had issue mainly with my mail app.
Now if only a and b also get resolved, I will have a truly Magical Phone
Quick Update : Used Hell00's Dialer Mod to change the background color to Black theme, so part of the dialer issue resolved. But the background color doesnt change once call connected like it did with my Note3 JB, so only partly resolved.

S10+ - Not receiving notifications

Howdy everyone!
I am having an issue with my S10 not displaying notifications. The only notifications that work is the Messages app. When the phone is on a black screen, the Message app is the only one that will display and notify.
I want my other apps... Nest, Wyze, Meross, etc to do the same as the messaging app.
I have googled for hours and tried almost everything i can think of.
Help?
Are your notification settings turned on for each app under settings then notifications?
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I checked for each app.. I have even compared to the actual message app that came on my device.
Beginning to notice this issue also
Since the April Update this happened. Looks like its not an "issue" but a system change.
There used to be a setting where you could turn the messages on/off etc...
For instance, i like that my edge panel lights up, and i get the icon on screen that i have a message.
My wife likes that message to be displayed on the screen so she can see it without having to actually go to it.
Now there is a little messges overlay for the stock app that pops up, similar to FB messenger, I actually like this idea, but that seems to be a huge change and i cant find the setting to revert to the old way.
