I just noticed this recently as I don't normally change my lockscreen wallpaper. But now, everytime I do so, the device freezes and the only way out is to remove the battery
I'm not sure when this happened but the only thing I can think of that might led to this is that I installed and then uninstalled PocketShield. Anybody else has this issue? Or, anybody knows how to resolve this? Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help.
Ive had this happen to me more than a couple times, with many different roms.
Bottom line is that it's a bug in Windows Mobile.

But it did not happen before. I used to change the lockscreen wallpaper a lot and never had the freezing. It's only now and I'm suspecting that Pocketshield is the culprit as it has something to do with lockscreen. But thanks for the feedback.
If it's a bug, that means no solution at all?
NOTE: Do Not Apply this mod for Alpha 3, it screws up the status bar. You have been warned. I will see if i can recompile it for Alpha 3, makes it tougher without sources.
Initially i did this mod for my I9000 which was running CM7.1 and i was only seeing carrier numbers instead of names. I have ported this to CM7.1 for HP touchpad. Flash this file in cwm recovery.
When booted up you should see an additional setting in cyanogenmod settings called CustomSettings, tap that to open custom carrier text, tap that and enter whatever you want to show on the lockscreen and notification bar. Press done.
Install the attached notificationrestart.apk and open it, give it root access, press restart and wait for the notification bar to restart. This is to avoid restart of the tablet before you see the new settings apply. Voila, you should see what you put in the custom name. Have fun and hit the thanks button if you like it. Cheers.
If for some reason your status bar looks wonky after a while use this to get back to original stuff. I changed the dpi to 182 using nitrality app and the wonkiness seems to be gone. I am using iKandee theme from market.

Screenshots of what settings should look like.
I'll give this a shot. Is there an option (perhaps in the future) to place a .png file where the carrier text is? Similar to MIUI? Just curious.
Ok. dl'ing now. I'll report back.
EDIT: It works! My only issues
A) The notificationrestart.apk installed, but didn't seem to do anything. I didn't notice the change until after I rebooted the device.
B) I'm now seeing the 3G bar in the corner (see the image). Is there a way to keep the custom text, but not show the signal bars?

May be. I will look into it at a later time, no promises. If the status bar gets wonky, set dpi to 182 and see if it happens. For me its perfect at 182 (which is what my phone is it)

For now no. once cm team publishes source I will recompile with that.that well solve these issues. Did you run the notification restart app? I had to wipe data of that apk using titanium backup and it worked fine after that. 182 dpi works fine. Anything less than that status bar gets wonky.

I attempted, but it did not run. Did not ask for root privileges either. I simply rebooted and it showed the text change.

Ya, once you wipe data using titanium back up it will ask for root privileges. Not sure why. 182 and higher dpi works fine.

screen shots are from my phone which runs Insanity Rom and its theme.
The screenshot that I posted is in fact my TP. I'm using the Transformer theme from HERE. It ties in with CM's ThemeChanger. It'll notify you that it's not meant for your device, just do it. As you can see it works fine.

thank u sir!
@krarvind
thanks for this! no issues on my TP so far.
as a little test i flashed this to my T-MoUS HD2 Leo since i could never find a way to set a custom carrier label.
it works great on there as well - with one side effect on the lockscreen. any chance this can be fixed? i just did it on a whim since it's cm7 i figured it couldn't do to much damage. no problems on the status bar, just the lock screen.
i know it wasn't built for this device so don't answer if you don't want to
the top near my label shows a graphic from i don't know where.

I have no idea where that comes from and i don't have your device, so i can't really fix it i think. if you want to roll back, all you need to do is open up my zip files and replace the app and framework files with the ones from the rom for your phone ( not from your phone as it has mine now).
Cheers
For some reason whenever i try to boot a custom carrier label my Touchpad never boots up... it just hangs on the cyanogen mod boot animation and requires a hard reset... followed the instructions perfectly. anyone have the same issue?
after some messing around i got it to boot up for me. then the notification bar went "wonky" used the nitrality app to adjust the dpi. works fine. what is the default dpi again?....

No idea why you have these issues. dpi is 182. Anything above that works fine. Remember I don't have the sources to compile it for touchpad, so I did my best to get it

Screwed up my notification bar, the resolution is way off and battery percentage is gone. Cyanogenmod won't let me add it either?? The OriginalLabel.zip doesn't have battery percentage either for some reason. Guess I'll do a restore in Recovery. Thanks for trying though.
I like to run Exodus ROM at 420 DPI but that leaves me with no landscape navigation bar. Do any of you guys use an alternate nav bar app? Maybe there is a fix I don't see? I've google but only found some patches for Lollipop... Thanks!
i never meet this problem··
I still have the black bar but my buttons disappear and I can't interact with it.

I had the exact same problem, I've already reported it and found out it was related to the Dpi. If you set it lower than 510, the buttons will disappear.

Yeah, that's what I figured out. I reported it in the bug tracker here. Did they say if they were going to work on it?

Yes, they said they will look into it but that was a month ago.
Hey, i got a weird notification issue. The animation seems to be off but I have no idea what app causes it. It seems that the status bar icons overlap over the notification. Currently on the t-mobile v20. it happens randomly.. I had gmail, sms and hop spot on before this happen. also had random game notifications. anybody seeing this?? You can see it more on landscape mode.
bumping this if anybody else seeing this??

Mine does stuff like this every now and then. A reboot fixes it, don't know the cause though. Doesn't happen enough to care.
Hello, is anyone else experiencing their navigation bar buttons shifting closer together? If so, please let me know the necessary steps to prevent it from happening. Please note, a restart does nothing. Only by going into settings and changing the navigation bar arrangement but i do not want to keep doing that. Thanks.
It's to prevent 'Screen burn-in'.

Ok, but isnt it supposed to go back after a certain amount of time? Because it does not go back to its original spot.
That's very odd, I've never seen this before. Do you have any statusbar mods installed?

No i do not have any mods on the navigation or status bar. I am using a different launcher (Lawnchair). Ill try and use touchwiz for a few days and see if i can replicate the problem.
