Ever since I flashed froyo on my phone I have had problems with my weather ticker. It hasn't been updating/refreshing like it should. Also when I click the icon on my ticker it no longer opens weather bug anyone know why?
If your running ec07. Try the GPS fix.

Well, It wasn't working when I used EC03, and yesterday I switched to EC07. Still isn't working. I'm hesitant to try the GPS Fix because it's a shot in the dark if it would work and it's going to take a quite a bit of time for me to figure out ADB.
Any other suggestions? :/
Copy and paste GPS. Conf with root explorer in folder that the adb command says in post. Then reboot. Make sure to mount r/w in folder pasting to. (Button on top in root explr)

I don't have Root Explorer, and it's $3.99 in the market, is there any other explorer that I can use?

Ah thank you. I copied the gsp.config over, lets see if it works....
EDIT: Nope, a no go on the weather ticker. I can't even open it.
Are you on a stock ROM or one of the manymodded ROMs? the only reason it wouldn't open would be if someone deleted the app or if your ticker is forever "locked"which I have seen before....
Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda premium
I'm using Nuckins ROM. I don't think the ticker is locked, because I can still open my Text messages via the ticker bar. Just the weather thingymabobber won't come up, and the only way I can refresh it is by manually going into the weather ticker settings and clicking Refresh. It doesn't even seem to refresh automatically every 3 hours, like it is set to do.
I'm not sure if Nuckin's ROM has deleted the app or not, but if it has how can I get it back? ALSO... Before this ROM I was using THIS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203597 ROM by pastorbennett and the weather ticker OPENED but wasn't updating with it.
I know at one point on an older flash I was using TI and deleted some essential apps for the entire ticker section without knowing it. They're have very vague names. Reflashing would definitely fix the issue, if that's something you're willing to do.
Reflashing what? I've already experimented with 2 different ROMS. First time I had EC03/pastorbennetts ROM and this time I have EC07/Nuckin's ROM.... problems with both and the weather ticker. However, slightly different problems. With EC03 I could open the weatherbug app by clicking on the weather icon, but I couldn't refresh it not even manually. This time, with EC07 I can refresh it manually but that's about it. I can't open the Weatherbug app and I don't think it's refreshing on its own either. (Although it could be, I'm just having a hard time telling since I can't open the APP and see what time it updated.)
Plus, I've reflashed both of those more than once with the same issue.
EDIT: Unless you mean to reflash stock, then flash the ROM?
EDIT2: I think I've already reflashed stop after this anyway....
EDIT3: Well, I tried to manually go into my applications and open Weatherbug and it's giving a Force Close Error. >.< I uninstalled it, and reinstalled it, same issue.
Best advice I could give is to go into <2e> then open CwM (red seems to work nicely) wipe cache wipe data factory reset then reflash the EC07_clean! This ROM fixed most problems for me and its a simple quick flash. Then you can update to whatever ROM you've been wanting to use. The entire ticker-stuffs has worked flawlessly for me on the EC07 clean so I recommend that. It was a problem I was having too since rooting my i400.
Okay so now that my phone is unbricked, haha... I'm having my lovely WB ticker problem again. Except this time, the program opens when I click the ticker BUT I can't refresh it manually with the refresh icon. Any idea why or how it can be fixed? lol
Funny, I just started having the problem where the ticker icon doesn't open the app.

Think I deleted something... -.- I'll reflash later...
I thought I fixed it, but alas, I did not. >.< WB stop haunting meeeeee.
Anyone have any other suggestions? I assume thee is no way to have the ticker use another app either?
I can very easily, (well... Pretty easily, haha.... ) make the ticker use another app, haha...

Does anyone know a way of getting rid of the ugly sgs lock screen???
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I was hoping they would change it with Froyo, guess that is not the case. Its the worst lock screen I have seen on any phone, period. I actually don't mind touchwiz but this lock screen is so ugly, it does not go with the tw launcher at all. You may need to go with a custom rom or some app that may change it.
Yeah i guess was hoping i wouldnt have to go the app install route, more system overhead :'-(

Widgetlocker is our only hope
you can use the Mod to restore the Android Lockscreen but it caused a bootloop on mine and I had to reflash so...forget it
I wish we had the Fascinate Lockscreen it uses the "Fit Puzzle" even if you dont have a message
Or just download No Lock from the market for free and remove the lockscreen..
Check out these 2 threads if you're interested in reverting to the stock android lockscreen.

The problem with Widgetlocker is that it is a bit funny I've found sometimes (it isn't always instantaneous. My main problem with the Samsung lock screen these days, is that you can't disable the music widget on it (so if it's sitting in my pocket, the music sometimes turns on and off. I worked around it originally using another music player, but now I just put up with widget locker
and then what? a crappy lockscreen is better than none

I used Tayatuma Lite ROM on my SGS and he includes a really easy way to use the default android lock screen (just involved renaming a file IIRC).

thanks! they both seem waaaaaaaaaay to hard for me to follow though!
Its simple as overwriting a file in the phone rom (have to be rooted)
I gave up cause I tried the JPM odexed file and it just gave me a bootloop and I had to reflash
Using Root Explorer (requires root I believe) it's really easy to do: just download the android.policy.odex (from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784992) according to your firmware version and replace the original in the folder system/framework. Do a backup of the original in your computer before.
To replace the file, put it in the internal sd of the phone through usb and then move it to the system/framework folder using root explorer. Then reboot the phone.
Easier to than to explain, really.

Out of curiosity, why don't you guys like the lockscreen?
Another: se video
http://it.androlib.com/android.application.com-teslacoilsw-widgetlocker-jqpAj.aspx
You know the stock lock screen looks lame and gives almost zero "look at me flavor" BUT... after using the stock lock screen I came to the realization that this one provides an effortless usability by being able to swipe the screen in any direction, with any finger or thumb, without looking and with any hand. It takes no effort and that is just plain good. My $.02
The problem with the bootloops with the stock android lockscreen mod is caused by file owner and group.
I faced this issue and after 3 re-flashes I finally decided to check the file details on root explorer beofre rebooting (duh). Turns out you just need to go to the market, download terminal emulator and write this there: chown root.root /system/framework/android.policy.odex (for odexed firmwares, check if the path is correct. Can't really recall)
That fixed it for me
if only the text can be removed, and we can add calendar reminders, all that good stuff.
Howdy,
I am new to rooting but did some research before pulling the trigger.
I followed the instructions located at droid life. I would post a URL but since I am new I cant.
But I have been stuck at the Z4 MOD screen with the rotating circle for about 20 mins now. Help please....
Sometimes a reboot and try again does the trick.

Just let it go until it stops spinning (took me about 20-25 minutes) pull the battery, reboot, try again. It will be almost instant the second time
If you still don't have any luck, make sure to go into settings-->Applications--> development--> USB debugging. Make sure that usb debugging box is checked.
If that still doesn't help, try putting the phone into AIrplane mode and then try running z4root.

When I did it to mine I was also in airplane mode. You might want to try that
Ok thanks for the help. I waited about 40 mins and then closed the program and rebooted the phone. It took only 30 seconds and it was done..
So now that I have that done I loaded liberty 1.5
I also downloaded adw launcher as I heard it was pretty good.
My problem now is I cannot get it to set up my two other email accounts (hotmail and another ) like I had before. I also cannot get it to link some of my existing contacts to my facebook contacts (basically double contacts)
What am I doing wrong?

Ok so I deleted adw launcher and went back to the liberty controls. Doing that allowed me to join contacts into one. So one problem solved.
But I still cannot get my emails to work. I enter in all the info and I get this message : "unable to open connection to server"
Also I cannot find the original messaging widget that I had on the phone before. It basically was a large widget that had a preview of my text messages.
My email widget is missing as well...
Thanks for your help
When you installed liberty, you removed all of the stock apps aka blur apps. Liberty uses all aosp apps which do not haves the blur elements. This may explain why you can't do the email and it is why you don't have the messaging widget. If you still want the messaging widget I recommend you try gosms or hancent
Handcent is the way to go for sure. And honestly you should get a gmail account. It just makes sense if you use a Droid. Plus go into liberty tool box - addons and you can put back some of the blur stuff. I recommended the blur camera because the stock liberty camcorder doesn't support hd. Good luck!

Next question is my facebook widget is not keeping updated like it should. On the main widget screen you can scroll through new posts from all of your friends but for some reason it is not updating them. If I click on the widget it loads my facebook and everything is recent.
Any ideas?
Hmm not sure I don't use the Facebook widget. I use the twidroyd widget instead. I had the same problem but it got fixed when the app had a new update. Are other people having that problem? Might be the app. Try seesmic I hear they added Facebook support. He's the guy that made ping.FM so you know it's decent. Maybe check your app update settings and make sure its getting content.

After I turn the phone on in the morning it goes to that "dos like" screen where you can backup and restore, update, etc etc. It says clockwork mod recovery on the bottom. I usually click the first option and the phone resets and loads fine.
What is going on?
Also I would like a clock widget similar to the stock digital one. I like how the stock one would change weather forecasts when I changed citys.

The dos-like screen is a hikacked recovery for the X. It may seem like a hassle to always have to tell the phone to boot normally, but the one time that it bricks or has issues, then this recovery console will.be q blessing.

You could make a nandroid back up once a month or however often you make major changes to your system.

Hi, I haven't found thread about it so...
every time i reboot my legend (with stable cm7 and gapps) i'm missing of facebook's account. but... when i try to create one, i can't (after click to add account, i get redirected to main screen with all accounts). I found solution to that (clear cache in apps manager), however, i don't want to do it every single time i reboot my phone. could anyone give me a solution ? thanks a lot.
First, please make sure that the facebook app is not installed on your SD card.
Okay i moved it to internal memory. So it should help, right?
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
Well, you're the only one who can test that. Please try to post in the correct subforum in future.
I had the same problem after moving to CM7. I think it's caused because facebook and all the other apps are installed right after the first start but before installing and setup the gmail app. Do you have the gmail app installed?
Deinstall and install again the facebook app helped me.
PS: the official Twitter app had the same problem in my case.
I have installed all the apps like gmail etc. Moved to.phone's memory helped.

I have this weird behaviour, that some app-icons in folder (not widgets) from apps i have moved to sd via settings (not app2sd) disappear after reboot. I have to kill the "Home" task and then they reappear. The apps also still listed as "installed" under settings->applications. Does anyone can confirm this or is my device buggy?
I allready tested different sds to make sure that the sd is not corrupt.

That doesnt work for me. Some icons still not visible in drawer. I can see that after some time, several icons are added but not all. I have to kill the Home task and then all icons are visible. Maybe I try also lauchner pro. I also contacted SE support and they said i should send the phone to repair.. i think its a softwarebug. i really like the phone and dont want to sent it away for a couple of weeks. I also debugged the phone via adb logcat to check if there is maybe a fatal error accessing the sd, but i saw nothing unusual so maybe the se home app is buggy.
hm launcherpro kinda solved the prob. all app icons are generated in the drawer after reboot, but now apps ive placed in home-folders loosing their icons. it seems that mounting the sdcard after reboot takes too long and apps depending on sd having probs. hope its not a faulty hardware. ill do another test with class10 sd

Anyone else have this issue? Seems to be the CNN or Youtube widgets (the ones with cascading effects). The only way to get them back is to reboot (that I have found). You cant add the widget back to the desktop because its still there. You will have duplicates if you reboot...
Any fix for this? Pretty annoying.
You can still long press it and remove it even though you can't see it. I've done this then added the widget back and that usually works. For the youtube widget mine only doesn't work when I'm not connected to wifi but the same concept might fix it. Goodluck
