Just install a custom kernel... Google stock might be pretty buggy sometimes...

Backup ur app data using helium (no root needed), make a zip out of the folder named carbon (=backup). Transfer it to ur pc. Copy all pictures, music,... To ur pc too.
Factory reset.
Copythe carbon.zip back to the phone, unzip it and use helium to restore app data
I ask u to zip cuz if u copy the carbon folder without it being zipped the .json files needed to restore app data will disappear and not being copied to u pc

It has something to do with the UI/Framework, it started from 4.4, no lag on Jelly Bean!
The easiest thing you could do is install a ROM with the CM11 Theme Engine and apply a custom theme. The whole UI will be a lot faster and the notification bar will be as smooth as an iPhone. My 2 cents

As far as I can see, Live Wallpapers are not going to work until someone bakes a custom rom. The Live wallpaper picker just force closes on selection. So, unless I failed at installing the live wallpapers and the picker...

What launcher are you using? Did you try ADW or Launcher Pro? did you also load livewallpapers.apk?
I loaded livewallpapers.apk and the livewallapaerspicker.apk
I tried with Sense and sweeterhome
But I think I need to load the .SO files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647837
But I have to find a different SD card because I can't get into recovery mode with my 8gb sd card.
(I left my 2gb at home)
ADW gave me the same problem.
I was able to adb remount since I pushed your clean update
But now I am getting "out of memory" when I try to push the SO files.
So I guess I will have to do the push in restore mode.

Let me know if you can figure out a way to get it running in Sense. I still haven't gotten my Aria (due to show up on Monday), but the lack of wallpapers is the one thing I was disappointed with.
Well I have live wallpapers working on my aria right now in alternate launchers like adw and launcher pro.
Pulled the files from a custom rom that adds live wallpapers for legend then rebuilt them into a rom I'm working on stripped of at&t crap. Did not replace the rosie apk since at this time tha just crashed htc.launcher.
This is a fun little phone.

Hey Bob, did you find a way to fix the non-market apps toggle in settings? I am working on a modified spare parts type deal to do that now, but if you already have a fix, I am all ears. Funny, AT&T didn't like the name Liberty. How fitting that they chose not to use it.
we really should open an IRC channel
The real question is there a way to do Live Wallpapers & Sense at the same time.
I know I am being picky, but I want my tech the way I want my tech.

There is a way since the rom i stole the stuff from was for the legend and Sense its just the version of sense that was in the rom is not compatible with our rom.
I havent even started looking into the Sense APK file yet but figure with live wallpapers working correctly i just got to figure out how to disable normal wallpapers in sense to make them work.

I havent worked at all on the market toggle, i figure since we can sideload the settings.db file and it works its very low on my care list. All i worked on today was stripping out what i didnt like and trying to make a nice clean rom that had all the default files i wanted in it (google voice, pandora, etc..). Just happened to also play with the live wallpapers and found it worked on the way home when i tried a new launcher.

Update file for adding LWP to Aria
6/28/10 - Updated to allow LWP in the Sense UI
* This assumes you have your phone rooted and have access to the Clockwork Mod to allow updating your phone with unsigned zip files *
1.) Put the file onto your SD Card in the root directory
2.) Access the Clockwork Mod
4.) install zip from sdcard (option 5)
5.) choose zip from sdcard (option 2)
6.) Click on the file you downloaded and put on your sdcard
6a.) If you run into an error when installing shut off your phone,, unplug it from the USB cable, then reboot it back into Clockwork Mod and start again from step 2
7.) Once done installing, go back one menu and reboot system
8.) Upon reboot you can now choose Live Wallpaper in the wallpaper options
*Issues*
The only issue that I know of at this time is you have to use the settings/personalize/lock screen wallpaper option in order to change the lockscreen wallpaper
If you have any issues let me know, I tested this on a fresh clean stock rom flash then updated to add in the LWP.
*Files*
Clean install of the LWP packages
Select this if you want to install the LWP on a clean install or install without any LWP
Update install of the LWP packages
Select this if you used the previous version with LauncherPro and Home Switcher. This will remove those packages and update to the Sense Enabled LWP.
Thanks! I just flashed it and it works great. There's Absolutely no loss with performance with it either.

* if this file downloads under a different name just rename it to aria-lwp.zip, first time using Mediafire *
Ok lets see if this works =)
1.) Put the aria-lwp.zip file onto your SD Card in the root directory
2.) Access the Clockwork Mod using the rooting methods in the how to root your aria thread
3.) Go to the Partitions Menu and select the first option (mount /system)
4.) Go back to the main menu and choose to install a zip file
5.) Choose the option to install a zip from the SD Card
6.) Click on the aria-lwp.zip file
7.) Once done installing, go back one menu and reboot system.
8.) Upon reboot the home menu should pop up asking you to choose which home menu to launch. Choose the LauncherPro option.
9.) Go into the wallpaper options and choose your live wallpaper, it should work with no issues.
10.) Set up your new launcher, refer to any Launcher Pro threads for more info on this nice replacement launcher.
At anytime you can use the home switcher program to go back to the HTC Sense launcher if you want to use that instead. Same with setting up which launcher is used by default when you press the home button.
If you have any issues let me know, I tested this on a fresh clean stock rom flash then updated to add in the LWP.

Any chance we'll ever get this working in Sense?
Well, that didn't work.
I am still getting force quit
I might needs to do a clean flash.
Ok, I got stock to run, but I also want to get rid of the lockscreen and make it default as well. Any ideas?
Ok, reflashed with the clean install and it worked.

Accidentally deleted systemUI.apk

Yeah... I did something pretty dumb.
I just got Titanium Backup, and read about that the status bar is messing with WiFi tether, so instead of freezing it like the thing said I wanted to see what would happen if I pressed convert to user app. I can't find it anymore, and the status bar is gone.
So heres what I'm wondering. To get it working again would I need to make a backup in Titanium Backup (without "seeing" what other buttons do) then flash back to Froyo, and reupgrade then reapply the root? Or what I'm hoping, will it be as easy as taking another DX's systemUI.apk and putting it into /system/apps through root explorer?
Currently on DROID X Gingerbread .605 rooted. Haven't done anything crazy or something to it, other than deleting the status bar...

I have the same problem, but i did it when trying to change dpi on Acer Iconia b1-710 where it can do very bad things..
I think that just SystemUI backup in Titanium Backup can help, i searched on the internet, but nobody wants to help
I have locked bootloader.
Now i a using home and back buttons as Tasker scene and notifications with Super Status Bar and low battery warning is Tasker scene too.. and i can't connect device to PC bcs it is part of SystemUI too, the question if i want to connect it to pc.
And somebody has told me that just putting SystemUI.apk into system/app or where it is, should help, after reboot, but it didn't work :/

Guide to restore status and navigation bar

I have run into few people with this problem so I'm making this guide to help anyone with this problem. You may have to reset kindle in order to access a different app since there is no navigation bar.
1: First you have to have a file explorer installed. Go to amazon app store and download es file explorer ( you should be able to get there without status and navigation bar ) or use this version http://db.tt/hMeT0kvg.
2: Now download this adw launcher http://db.tt/ezZp558n it is an old free version but works with or without root.
3: Now go to your file explorer and go to your download folder and find the adw launcher apk file you just downloaded and install it.
4: Once installed open the launcher and go to the app drawer from there you should see a settings icon. Press on it to access your system menu.
WARNING: This next step involves a factory restore and you will loose anything on your kindle. Everything will need to be Re downloaded and installed. You will also have to re root if you had root before.
5: Now in the system settings you need to go to device then factory restore. You will need to have your battery level at a minimum of 40% or you'll have to wait till it reaches that before you can factory restore.
Once restored you should be good to go.
Please give thanks to those who help. Everyone here helps and devotes there time to each other. Especially the developers. A thanks goes along way and is much appreciated.

3 Razr's - No more maintenance PLEASE!

I've been using my Razr i for a while now and so happy with it that I've recommended my friend and dad get one, they have and I've also got a backup one for business. I want to root and set up each one so that they will not need any more maintenance and have all intended features. Is there a ROM based off the original without the bloat ware? This would probably be the safest, most bug free one I guess? If anyone can recommend which to go for if I just want to do the 3 phones up, give them to their owners and never hear back about bugs or issues because the ROM.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Problems I have with my own:
Roaming nag - every time the data conenction drops while roaming, an acceptance/disclaimer screen pops up even though I've ok'd it 10 times already while in the same country that day.
Mass storage device - Miss having the phone show up as a mass storage device.
Space between numbers - I'm not sure if this is a new thing with the newer androids, a dialler issue or what, but the phone is automatically adding gaps between numbers when I try and save. I've a lot of numbers and prefer to keep them all the same formatting, which is, for example, +353871234567, if somebody rings me, sometimes it comes up as +353871234567 which is grand, other times it might come up as 0871234567 so all I used to need to do was delete the 0 and add a +, now when I edit the number, spaces are automatically added and it shows up something like 087 123 4567. This used to only happen with landline numbers and then sometimes if you tried to delete say the space between 3 and 4, it would delete the space AND the 3!
Winamp notification reappearing - I've been using winamp on my desktop for the past 15 years or so and the app is good on android but even after I close the notification bar item, it sometimes still reappears without me going back to winamp or doing anything. Also, it seems winamp stops playing if there's any kind of shock to the phone, for example if I put it down roughly and it bangs the table a little. If I could stop both of these happening it would be great.
So if there's a way to start from scratch with a clean, bug free ROM that fixes these issues and keeps the phone rooted, that would be great! any feedback appreciated!
Use pi llama
I am still on stock rom and have no issues.
Use twerkmymoto by jcase, install xposed and adjust anything you want.
For mass storage use this one, works for me (4.1.2 EU)

Thanks a lot for the replies folks.
I ended up sticking with stock rom anyway, but can you link me to this twekmymoto and xposed please? I'm a bit afraid to start installing stuff onto it to edit such things unless I'm sure I have the right file for the phone so would appreciate any app links
twerkmymoto
Don't forget to thank jcase for it and if you like his work, buy him a beer through his donate button
Xposed
click on download and install xposed installer 2.3.1
For modules I recommend using GravityBox and Greenifiy.
Definitely try gravitybox, or xblast tools. Great modules!

Just re-imaged my phone as installing this version of xposed bootloop'ed it.

You can disable the Xposed framework from recovery if anything goes wrong.
You just have to flash Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip - it will be on the root of sdcard0.

Problem is I haven't unlocked my bootloader yet so I have no way of flashing this. I installed the older 2.3-beta1 version and it works ok. Really trying to work out how to get rid of the carrier name without unlocking the bootloader though, that's the most irritating for me as it's a really long carrier name. Tried Carrier Name and XBlast Tools.
Bootloop xposed framework
Solved!

lgsetupwizardglitch and tibackup glitch

soooo I used titaniumbackup to freeze and delete some apps after I had backed em up
now I wanted to perform a factory reset on the phone so I started restoring/unfreezing all the apps I had deleted/frozen
problem 1:
now I had deleted an app called lgsetupwizard which is apparantly the setup you go trough first time you turn on your device,
now it started replacing my launcher with this, and I couldn't change it to anything else...
problem 2: for one app I accedentaly clicked the delete backup instead of restore which was an app called lgslideaside I don't know what it does
and if it's important for the system to still work after a reset..
and if I can reset the device with the setupwizard still frozen? :s
thanks in advance
At this point you're probably better off restoring the phone using either the *.tot or *.kdz method.

Problem1: Can you drag down the notification bar and click the settings icon right above? If so then you could probably set from there the home app.
Problem2: I don't think its really important for the system to operate since lgslideaside is like an gesture app switching with 3 fingers you can switch apps if you slide your fingers to the other side so slideaside ;p
I don't know or you can reset the device with the setupwizard frozen I think you can but did you tryed to enable it from the Apps tab in the settings?
Else if setupwizard is really screwed and if its important then you could maybe push the setupwizard and the lgslideaside to your phone but you have to take it from the same rom you have but if you have stock then try to find a stock rom from the same android version and the the apk/odex. If everything doesn't work then you maybe need to flash the Stock android 4.4.2 kdz or jellybean in normal mode but This would be the last thing i would recommend to you since your phone is still booting ;p
Try my things and i hope your problem couldbe solved:good:
