I have this issue for a long time by now. I thought it is just the Play Store but no, I noticed it in the facebook messenger too.
Icons and smileys has black background, and in messenger when I use the bubble head thingy, smiley's background is transparent, you can actually see the things behind it, like my home screen wallpaper.
I googled it, but no fix for it, even updated the Play Store. Factory reset did not help. I even replaced the ROM with a new one, but this problem appeared again. (4.2.2, root) I had this problem before the root acces too. I really don't know what to do.
And other forum peeps said the bug only appears on Mediatek devices...
Notice the icons in the Store, and in the Messenger (black background and home screen)
It happens to me too. Its used too be soooo annoying, but I just got used to it. But I still want a fix.
It happens on my phone too and I have no idea why or how to solve it.
I have a Mediatek based phone.

For some reason the graphic for HTC People - HTC Calander and HTC Music have disappeared in the start menu and shows a blank white window with its blue border. Even though this isn't a major problem I've set a Quick Link from the home screen to music and showing that white window loses the eye candy. Also the slider icons are working fine so its not a problem there. I'm sure if I reset the ROM it will fix it but I was wondering if there was another way to do this instead of having to lose everything and start again...
Thanks in advance !!
I dont know a solution, but partly the same icon problem here; HTC People icon in white/blue, Calendar icon okay, Music icon not there.
So you're not alone Ashley
Just reinstalled the ROM and its all back to normal, guess we couldn't fine a workaround no worries though !
any fixes without reflash.
did you try Change Start Menu Icons?

Hey guys
This is something new! Never seen it before! Anywhere!
After 4.4.2 update, my google chrome is having a problem.
I think the screen shot below is clear!
"Sooo, i cant upload pictures with my tab using chrome!!! This is another issue i guess!!!
The screen shot is a black screen, with a new tab icon only on top, whitch is not working, nothing else. Not a chrome logo in the midle, nothing"
It happens every time i run chrome, i have to end the app, (i have a commad for it in gmd gesture control)
Then remove it from recent apps then run it again to maks it work.
I unistalled all of its updates, cleared apps cash and data. Reinstalled updates, none helped.
In 4.2.2, when i opened the app, it used to show my favorites and i could open a new tab, or open my fav tabs.
Can anyone help?
Any suggestions?
After using the phone for a while a strange problem occurs. The widgets turn black but if you tap on them, they work. Just on home screen they look black.
If you enter to the Apps menu and try to edit any page (try to move an icon for ex) there is going to be a distortion at the background like color changing or instead of the background,
there will be a stretched icon of an application.
I have attached some screenshots for you to see.
Also a temporary solution to this problem that i found is to restart TouchWiz with an application i found on Play Store.
The name of the app is TouchWiz Killer.
Is there a permanent solution to this annoying problem that anyone has found?
ok so i have a stock lollipop rom running on s5 g900f.
it comes with the usual bloatware. the thing that bothers me is this: i have a watermark with the "flipboard" logo on my screen
you can always see it behind whatever im viewing. even when in camera mode!
any help on how to get rid of it? i tried to disable flipboard but that didnt help.
thanks
Sounds like screen burn-in
Take a screenshot, copy it to the PC, and view it on the PC, if the watermark is not there, it's burned into your screen more than likely
Nothing you can do apart from shout at whoever left flipboard open 24/7 on full brightness
hi, i've done it, and the screenshot is without the watermark.
i just cant post the link here because im a new user (spam protection)
so i cant fix it?
Just post it with hxxp instead of http
Doesn't sound like you can fix it no, it's not a watermark, it's what's called burn-in, which is what happens to these type of screens if the same image is left open on them for long periods of time
A similar reason screensavers were invented years ago
It happens with AMOLED screens, particularly with Samsung devices and its a physical/hardware issue so not much you can do other than try the AMOLED Burn-in Fixer from Play Store.
Hi guys,
I've been running CM 13 for a while on my moto x play. I've had no problems with it until this last update and installing some themes.
After updating it, I downloaded some themes, applied them and received the "system ui has crashed" or something message on screen.
After this the wallpaper has turned black (no change if I try to change it manually), the animations for the lower bar (triangle, dot, square) are not showing, dragging the upper status bar takes several seconds to show, when my cellphone is unlocked the response of the system is extremely extremely slow. If I drag my fingers up to unlock it, it will take a long time. The funny thing is besides these, there are no problems apparently. If i go to settings, things run smoothly, chrome, facebook, whatsapp, etc. but any interaction with: status bar, lower bar, locked screen is extremely slow.
I mistakenly thought it was an update bug or smth and reinstalled a past update, but issues remain.
What happened and how can I correct this?
Well you said it yourself that the problems started after applying a theme. Did you try to reset to the system default theme?
Also never downgrade CM versions because that will only cause more problems than solving them.
If nothing helps I would recommend a clean installation because I don't have any problems with CM13 and any themes. Also some themes require a restart after applying.
Same thing happened to me as well. The status bar was not to be seen and there was no wallpaper. Did a clean installation and it was all ok. I am not sure which themes were installed back then.. But if you could share the ones that you installed, it might help!
