After upgrade from MIUI-1.12.9_MUL_IDEOS_X5 to MIUI-1.12.16_MUL_IDEOS_X5 (with cache and dalvik wipes) all work fine BUT: New upps installed appears twice on the desktop. I.e. 2 icons appears for the same app. The second icon could be sent to trash without suggestion to uninstall the app. But it is annoying to clear desktop after installing new apps.
What is wrong????

OK I performed the install per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1165998 and have read every single post as of about 5 minutes prior to writing this.
Everything went perfectly fine. Installing over a stock 3.1, except for rooting. I'm not completely new to this... not a master either. I've rooted my Atrix with every official update, and rooted my dad's Verizon Incredible, I think that's the name, and installed Cyanogenmod 7.
MY problem is I can't open any "links." In either gmail or e-mail clicking on a good URL and get it to open in the stock browser, Opera or Firefox (it prompted me before the update). The screen just dims and nothing. I tap the screen and the screen "undims." This also happens when I download a pdf in Firefox and try to open it. If I use Astaro File manager I can open the pdf with out any issues. It appears to be related to the browsers only so far.
I've already performed a restore missing apps and system data with Titanium Backup Root.
Do I need to clean Dalvik cache? Do a factory wipe? Hopefully something less drastic...
Any help or pointer to resources I missed are appreciated.
P.S. I did try posting on the developer thread, and I can't post. Since I'm not experienced enough to be of much help and I prefer researching and learning without asking questions previously asked and answered.
Checked Defaults...
I just tried settings--->applications--->manage applications---->pick your app and clear defaults? No default set for the Browser, Firefox, Gmail or Opera.
CWM Cache Partition Wipe
Sorry for multiple posts I'm trying to troubleshoot my problem...
The problem still exists after clearing the cache partition with CWM.
Removed Opera
No change except I've noticed it is faster since I cleared the cache.
Removed Firefox
Now the builtin browser works!
Reinstalled Opera
Initially the same issue... and then the option to select between the Browser or Opera!
Second try the selection box appeared quickly!
Restored Opera data via Titanium Backup and all still appeared well.
Rebooted same issue... Uninstalled and reinstalled again. No change.
Rebooting...
Redo
Uninstalled Opera.
Used CWM to clear the cache partition.
Reinstall Opera.
Reinstall Firefox.
And I'll post this before my session times out. I hop this may help someone else someday.

You must have missed a post on this topic --default app picker--and someone's solution. I think I saw it in the development section. The solution was to make sure that auto rotate was set to on, and then make the screen redraw the grayed out app default picker screen by rotating the Xoom. They said to do it for each app that was causing a problem. Sounds crazy, but it seemed to work. Look for the post, or just try it. It can't hurt.
Working... Why
Working now and survived a reboot without breaking.
I haven't restored any data. :-(
Anyone know why or where I can look to try and figure out why. How about if I can recover some of the application data selectively?

Check out post #3 on this thread.
Aha
Thank you!
Good news that works great.
Better news I learned a few new things.
A good day if I do say so myself.
P.S. Note to self App Picker not file associations for Android
Hi all,
I am wondering if there is a way to add/remove widgets from the list? I have downloaded a few widgets from the market but they are not showing up on my widgets list when I long-press the desktop and select widgets. There are a few misc. widgets that came with the cyanogen ROM like, Home Screen Tips Playstore and Torch.
I downloaded Barnacle Wifi Widget - $1.99 from the market but it is not showing up under widgets list or apps.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
BUMP. Anyone have any ideas about this? Or perhaps a work-around method?
Resolved my own issue...No replies, no links, no help. What's the point of a forum?
Anyways, the widgets were not showing in the list because I moved them to the SD card (google search "problem loading widget reboot").
FIX: I used TitaniumBackup to move to the apps back to internal storage (this alone will fix the issue) and rebooted the phone into recovery, wiped dalvik cache, wipe cache, fix permissions, and rebooted.
You could've gone to Settings>Applications>SD card and moved them over to the internal memory.

I am facing one very annoying problem.
In Google chrome if you long press on one image it gives you the option to save image.
When you save it a white arrow appears in notification bar and the picture appear in Download folder in gallery.
Thats not the case entirely although in my case.
Whenever i download a picture the arrow appears but is grey and the gallery updates download folder after several minutes.
I Have tried everything regarding media storage app disable enable,clear cache ,flash twrp and wiped internal storage,factory reset, flashed 2 stock kdz ,flashed kitkat,etc.
The problem remains and i seriously need help from someone who faced this nightmare and fixed it. No temporary using media scanner app from market, but once and for all. This issue happens with Google Chrome. Ofcouse i reinstalled the app.
What i have seen is that if i factory reset the Google Chrome app and get the version 39 the problem dissapears and everything works.
Please someone who knows this Help.
I will appreciate it.
I was so happy that OP finally released H2OS 2.5, this one is probably the best ROM with custom UI, unlike MIUI or Flyme, it is still in Material Language. However, after a clean flash, I found it is not pre-installed entire google service and it doesn't work well with OpenGapps. Here is the tutorial.
Before I start, make sure you have installed a custom recovery like TWRP. If not, go to twrp.me and flash the recovery via fastboot. And BTW, plz forgive my poor English, if there are any mistakes, leave the comments blow, Thank you!
1. Install H2OS 2.5(I believe you already did this) and Root package.
2. After the setup, reboot to Recovery, choose Mount - System. then flash OpenGapps, in this step, I suggest you guys choose Nano version, mini version will replace the stock calendar with Google Calendar and other variants of Gapps will replace more stock apps.
3. Go to Advanced - File Manager, delete /system/priv-app/SetupWizard/setupwizard.apk
DO THIS NO MATTER YOU CAN ACCESS GOOGLE OR NOT, OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT ENTER LAUNCHER!
4. After the reboot, Install and Open Titanium Backup, Tap Backup/Restore and you will find several Google-related apps are frozen, tap those and defrost them.
5. Convert Google Contacts Sync into user-app, after that go to Settings - Apps - Google Contacts Sync - Permissions, grant the permission on read contacts.
6. Reboot and Enjoy, don't forget use a proxy if you are in China!
----------------------------
To enable Screen Search (Google Now on Tap), go to Settings - Buttons - Home Button, Long Press Action - Search Assistant.
If your phone still can't work somehow, try following steps.
1. Install and Open Nova Launcher, long press screen - Widgets - Activities. Then choose Settings - Assist & Voice input
2. Open this shortcut, tap Assist app and choose None, after that tap Assist app again and switch back to Google app.
OP made their own Default App selection interface, so you can't go to Settings - Apps - Gear Icon - Default apps to select correct search assistant. That's why we need Nova Launcher to open this interface.
Screen Search should work then.
I already installed it using the Google Installer APK, so this method is of no use to me, but I sincerely hope it benefits several others.
Wow, you really seem to know your way around H2OS.
Could you help me with a problem I've been facing? I installed Pixel Launcher, and there's a hideous blue portion of the wallpaper that I can't remove. I understand you need to switch to the OnePlus Launcher to modify the wallpaper, so I switched to the OnePlus Launcher, changed the wallpaper, but the blue portion still persists.

There are additional options when changing wallpapers in the h2os launcher. I don't think you can entirely get rid of the colour blending at the bottom but you can change the colour and the area it covers. The one exception I have found is the Google wallpapers app, that is full screen.
My notifications don't sync with my android wear. Do you maybe have a fix for this, since this is the only reason I can't use H2os
I installed the new google calculator app with dark theme yesterday and it was working fine until today where the app itself disappeared and i can't find it in settings or disabled apps, i tried to reinstall the apk but it shows this, i tried from the play store and it shows this, i tried to use a method i used before to bypass this kind of issues by slightly changing the package name in an apk editor app and it used to work, now it's just giving me "problem parsing the package"
please any help
Another user reported the app had occupied 1GB space on his phone, so the app seems buggy.
If you cannot clean the apps memory/cache in settings/apps anymore and uninstall then I would suggest you search for the com.google.android.calculator folder(s) on your phone and manually them. Then from TWRP also wipe dalvik cache and cache on next start and for the time being, until Google fixes it, use another calculator.
