Blank Settings in Weather tab?

When I go to Weather tab>Menu>Settings, I got a blank page. There is nothing at all under Settings! Is this right? Do you have something there in your HD2?
I just installed the Weather City Editor recently and I'm not sure if that caused it, or maybe, it's really blank?

Yes, the screenshot below is what you should see there. No idea though if the weather city editor caused it, but that's definitely what I'd uninstall first to see

thanks for the reply. i've done a bit or searching and perhaps it's not the weather city editor that's the problem.
it looks like its the hdwall patch. i installed it and used some hdwall cabs but later on, uninstalled it as it messed my weather tab. the weather tab was blank. i guess the settings too became blank but i only realized this only recently.
unfortunately, i can't find any fix. any help would be appreciated.

Yeah I'm not really sure why that happend, I have several HDWalls cabs that I use on mine (with the patch installed), with no effect on the weather (homescreen or tab)...I'll be happy to make you one if you can get me the image you want.
As far as getting your settings to reappear, I'm not really sure exactly what to tell you...I'd probably start by going to settings -> personalize and turning the weather tab off, soft-resetting, then turning it back on. Beyond that, I don't know what to suggest

i think i messed it up. i did not know that i couldn't have the hdwall and bg4all together. maybe that's why the weather got messed up too (?) i've gone over the thread about cookie's patch and yes, some have similar issues like this. some even have problems with the picture and music tabs. unfortunately, somehow no clear answers to solve these were proposed.
i'll try doing what you suggested. once again, thanks.
offtopic, i found a thread that i think is a lot simpler than using hdwall. look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681341

Nice, thanks for the link, I hadn't seen that yet! It does look pretty cool, I might give it a try this weekend. However, I've gotten pretty adept and comfortable with HDWalls, so it's never a hassle for me to use that really. This is a very interesting (and sought after!) alternative though.
Please do let me know if you get the weather settings working again...so I can file it under known solutions for oddball issues

"Gallery" Force Closing - root cause?

I have been rooted for a few weeks now, no real issues to speak of, but lately my gallery force closes each time I try to access one of it's sub folders. This is making doing any kind of customization quite difficult because I can't access wallpaper, icons, anything. Any ideas on what may be causing this or what I should do to try and fix it? I may just try doing a factory wipe/reset and then reload my rom, kernel, and mods. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

If you were using one of Konikubs themes, the gallery force close was a known issue. Bigrushdog released fixes for all of those themes yesterday.

Will you please point me to these fixes? And this is dumb but I don't even remember which theme I flashed....but it was mainly to get what I think is called the vanilla lock screen. Does that help? Lol. Thanks btw

[Q] Anybody else seeing this????

When scrolling through my app launcher, a bunch of apps get highlighted. I have no idea why this is happening. Its been happening on ever nightly and rc for CM7. I apologize if this has been brought up already so please no flaming.

WTF, never seen it like that and I am CM7 vet since you say this been happening in every nightly are you mounting new build on top of old builds? or have you done total system wipe by formatting /system? In any case if you have and you still see it then this maybe related to some app you have installed. Did you modify/remove ADW? and install any other launders?

Is that even ADW? looks odd.

lol yeah thats adw. using the honeycomb theme that works with the theme chooser. ive also done several full wipes with fastboot erase system -w. never tried formatting system from cwm. No other launchers either.

im using the honeycomb theme as well.
Does your touch screen respond as normally as it should? You should only see the highlights on areas being touched, I believe.

yeah thats the thing. when i scroll down or up and i linger on an app for a second or 2, thats when a bunch of apps get highlighted instead of the one app im holding. It's not hurting anything, just looks real odd.
EDIT:
Did some testing and it seems the issue only shows up when im using the new icon selectors in adw ui settings.

Maybe try resetting adw setting? thats very odd, I wish I had a better answer for you but I've never seen anything like it.

Screen grays out when screen is touched

For some reason my screen will dim whenever i try to go to links in gmail or other things. Any idea what could be causing this? The xoom is not rooted and completely stock 3.2. kind of an odd issue and a big annoyance.

no solution but saw this happen today in a link in a mail client. it was not gmail.
also, i use honeycomb file manager HD (paid version). clicking on videos mounted at /external1 does the same thing. the videos play, they just dont play from within that file manager. this just started happening. Ive had honeycomb file manager HD for a couple months now (since it was launched) and was able to play the videos from within the app (it would pop up which video player to choose from...). now it doesnt.
i just figured it was a random glitch but perhaps not.

looks like the 3.2 bug... the screen dims when the application picker dialogue box is called, meaning it could happen anytime a link, file, pic, etc could be opened with more than one app on your device... try rotating your screen and it should appear... should make the problem go away (at least until next reboot).

Think doing a factory reset would help?

This is a well known and documented bug with Android 3.2.
Simply rotate your screen, and it will show you a list of applications to choose from.

Nope, as solarnz said this is android 3.2 bug... won't happen everytime, but everytime it happens changing your screen orientation fixes it... mainly a minor annoyance.

appreciate the heads up. i had not known about the bug.. was under a rock i suppose.
ive not seen this issue again and i just tried just now and all is well. next time however, ill be ready ..
thank you again to the OP for posting and for the followups. "thanks" are in order here...

[Q] Facebook Overriding Replaced Fonts

Hey everyone.
So I'm stumped on this one. I've noticed that over the last while, Facebook has been overriding my (replaced) stock font. I've replaced all DroidSans and RobotoXXXX based fonts. Everything else is working as it should.
I tried uninstalling the up to date Facebook app, then did a fresh install with an older Facebook app that's dated back to mid March.
Here's where things get funny. Initially, the font is the one I want. I can scroll, look through things, etc. As soon as I leave the app for a bit, the font is replaced with the stock looking android font again. No changes have been made.
I can uninstall the app, install it again, and the same thing happens after a short period of time.
Does anyone have any idea how I can control my Facebook font again? Anyone else having this issue?
Attached is my Rom info.

Here is what it looks like before and after.

I've been having the exact same problem on my Galaxy S5. I cannot figure out the problem.
