Soft buttons (menu, back, home) and status bar keeps crashing. Is there a way to manually start it up besides rebooting the nook?
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App
There's an app on the market, called Notification Restart that is supposed to handle that.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tenthstone.notification&feature=search_result
I've also found that if the statusbar FCs on you - it does restart itself if you just rotate the device so it draws between landscape/portrait - most of the time.
Thanks!

Update: unfortunately the application does not work and neither does the orientation change. Is rebooting the only way? It happens every couple of days and is a bit irritating... thanks

I don't know of any other way to get the soft-buttons / noti-bar to restart. Not sure why it crashes - I can only assume it's because of the soft-buttons (since noti-bar is such a basic thing). I know of no other way.
You *could* try and install the Home Switcher app - and another home/launcher. Maybe toggling between ADW and some other launcher, then back to ADW might bring it back alive again.
Since rebooting takes no time at all, I've never bothered with that if I have to reboot.
Check with rom manager to fix force close

Hi. We recently upgrades two phones to the s4. One black and one white. Both are basically setup the same with GO lockscreen and launcher. The black one doesnt aeem to have problems but the white one will ´hang' or freeze on the lockscreen for about a minute every other time. Already tried hard resetting and wiping cache to see if that would fix anything...oh and also the white one will display the message no room on home screen (?) On the bottom and the oddest times even when im using the xda app
If anyone could let me know how ro fix this or if at this point I should just exchange this one for another...

I'm having the same problem with my GT-I9500. When I lock the screen and then few seconds later when I press the home button the lockscreen freezes for like 30 seconds and then it starts working again. I'm with the Stock ROM.
There shouldn't be any difference since they are the same model with same framework and only the color is different! Are you on stock ROM or a custom ROM? Just asking because maybe something went wrong during the custom ROM installation?
Anyway, I don't see a reason for the problem, and I would just recommend to try restoring the phone to it's original status (i.e. re install the latest stock framework and wipe everything off the phone). It might just work!
All the best!

I had this problem on the Galaxy S2. It seems to be a problem with Exynos since I don't have this issue on i9505.

I just got a new nexus 4 and am having an issue with the nigjtlies after rc5. Can someone on the nigjtlies tell me if they can replicate this? Try going into app drawer then pressing home quickly about 4 times. When I do this, my home screen goes blank. All if my icons and widgets dissappear but if I press their location they act as if they were still there. This is on stock launcher. When I switch to rc5 this problem stops. Thanks in advance
Edit: OK I'm not crazy. I just replicated the bug on the nexus 7 nightlies. Horrible bug!

After using apps (no specific one) and hitting the home button to go back to the home screen, my background is blank then after a second or 2 all my icons appear. Anyone else have this happen? It seems to have started yesterday or day before. Just wondering what could cause it. I know it does it when I clear memory under "Task Manager>RAM". But this seems to be happening more and more.
Edit: I noticed that the screen will black out with my led blue and will not come on till I do a battery pull. This has happened about 3-4 times so far. Any ideas......anyone.....anyone

What's your current setup? Stock/Rooted? What tweaks/mods have you done? What apps do you have installed?

yes, stock rooted, note 2 hidden features, xposed installer, wanam xposed, flash gordon, notifyclean, xquick settings, 5x4 launcher, isis root bypass, pen window manager, titanium backup, sqlite, with other basic and stock apps, some apps are frozen like amazon and verizon bloat. I'm using a couple of Gunthermics inverted themes to google play, mms and maps as well.
Could be any one of those mods, my friend. I know it'll be a pain but can you disable most if not all? Start with the 5x4 launcher, then Wanam

Installed Android 4.4 via adb sideload onto 2x Nexus 4 and 1x Nexus 7 (2012). Installation was smooth as the rom is stock (un-rooted).
While trying to change the wallpaper (which I used earlier in 4.3), the wallpaper does not center anymore. Tried with multiple wallpapers meant for Nexus 4 and 7 respectively.
I later launched airdroid and saw --> com.android.wallpapercropper running in the background and consuming anywhere between 33-44MB of RAM.
The cropping tool to select the wallpaper no longer appears in Android 4.4. Anyone else facing similar issues?

Glad to know . Wonder if a bug is already reported.

Has anyone raised a bug with Google on this? If not, any idea how to submit a bug?
Wondering if the wallpapers are the proper res for nex 4. Possibly a small detail that needs to be corrected in the build env.

solved?
ok i figured out how to center my wallpaper image on the lockscreen.
using the oem launcher, on the desktop, swipe from left to right, to the last screen on the left...
hold down finger on screen till choose wallpaper option comes up, pick image from gallery and save as wallpaper....
shut off screen via power button press, press power button to wake device to lock screen...
image should be center on lock screen.. if its not, you didn't do it right, try again.
default screen in stock launcher is the screen all the way to the left... lame but whatever.
now you can set your default launcher to your choice, ie NOVA - APEX - WHATEVER and your lockscreen wallpaper is aligned

The problem happens when we set any photo as wallpaper, after restarting the phone, the picture appears as if it had applying a zoom.
have the same problem
I have the same problem with Nexus 7 2013 on KitKat.
Because the photo wallpaper will automatically zoomed in, now I'm using 3rd party wallpaper apps.
I'm just wondering how the app set wallpaper without being zoomed in. If the logic of setting wallpaper is the same, it should be zoomed.

That works for the centering, but after the power cycle the image (if a huge res is used) is blown up to a section of the picture and not how it was originally set as.
It's crazy that it lets you use a whole image for the wallpaper yet when the device rotates or power cycles it buggers it all up..
I had the same problem on stock 4.4.2. I even f-reset my nexus 4 but uh it didn't worked. in wallpaper cropper, if you choose it as is (positioning), it will be positioned in the hard left screen, so choose the half of the image like this
