My Touch HD is getting a little temperamental- lil help

Hi so this is what frequently happens, I lose the top bar on the screen (start icons etc) which needs a restart to get back, sometimes the screen will not go black when the power putton is pressed(for locking), holding the end call button to lock the phone dosent work at all even after restart(not that i use it), also the email icons where you flick down and up to get a preview often dosent work and the email opens instead(happend from the start).
So what i would like to know is what can i do about this I assume there is a new rom out there that is really nice and stable but which do you suggest? I would like one which replaces the alarm setting in the default rom as that is so annoying. Also I use the youtube program all the time and I would like to still have the zoom bar in opera. your advice is really appreciated.

Im getting some of these problems, sorry dont know what to sugest! but my end key has never locked my phone it ends data conection ok !!??
Paul.

Have you tried a hard reset?
There are many great roms each Rom has a thread you can check them out to see what they have and what they can do it depends on your preferences not others

[Q] Missing Launcher on boot

Sorry if a thread already exists but have done a search and keep finding irrelevant info with the keywords ive used.
It seems for some reason that the launcher doesn't load up and im left with a black screen.
I can however pull down notification bar and that seems to run fine although I cant get access to any menu's to install/activate launcher. I also tried putting a apk of a launcher in the AndroidApps directory to see if it would auto install it but it didnt so im assuming that it only works on first boot.
This has happened twice now on 2 different builds as far as I know and cant pin down what causes it as it seems random to me.
Has anybody had similar issue and know how to fix it by putting launcher back in offline maybe.

Did you uninstall all launchers you have or it's happening for no reason ?
Also, When on the black screen try pressing the Home button as it lets you choose a launcher whenever nothing is running.

No its just happening randomly, Im not installing or installing any launchers. Yes bud, I tried pressing home button as its the most obviously thing to try and nothing happened.
Its as if the launcher programs are not loading or are not there.
I ended up moving onto MDJ's Gingerbread now anyway but would still like it if somebody could shed some light on problem if poss.

Phone buttons disappear from launcher

Hi,
this is not the first time that it happens, in the past to solve I had to reinstall the whole firmware, but honestly is a waste of time reinstall all the apps and restore their data. My problem is that sometimes when I quit from some apps (generally games) the buttons of phone, address book and sms disappears from launcher bar (as you can see in attached photo). Probably the question is stupid but... have you any hint on how to reconfigure the launcher?
TIA

just enter menu... then press soft key... then press edit... and then just drag phone, messages and contacts back to the drawer...

Mmmmhhhhh no way, from menu->edit I can only add and remove homepages.

i got that sometimes roght after restart when the phone is still loading ... either that is it or if it will not apear after like 15 seconds you can clear tw cache/data in settings/aplications/manage aplications/ALL - find tw launcher (sometimes in some languages it is called network) anyways youre looking for such icon there on list

Tank you $omator, this resolve my issue
FYI my application is called 'Home'

depends on translation in Polish it is Sieć and that means Network
anyways gg

why don't like you go launcher ex? =)

thanks again $omator
your trick has worked also for me!
btw in french it's "acceuil"

i like simple tw3 look for example modified a bit to fit my needs,
ofc they can always install alternative launcher BUT HOW IS THAT FIXING THE MISSING ICON PROBLEM?
it is not, and that is not this thread topic (what launcher do i use)
but how to solve particular issue

you should move the apps in your dock to the app menu before using a new launcher

[Q] Save the lock button

Most of the problems caused is due to the frequent use of the lock unlock button, so I was thinking if we could if at all possible, not use the button!!
->The first thing is that if we could re-map the function of that button to some other button, like to the call button which is useless! We have the kind of remap in the Windows phone roms, something of that kind for the Android roms! Maybe!!
-> OR maybe create a script that runs so as to lock the screen as if the lock button was pressed! the code that actually runs when you press the lock button! a widget can be created to lock the screen and you can unlock it by just pressing any button!! This is just gonna require little programming!
This is just a thought that i came across, and my question to the Devs is that if at all any of this is possible, can we do it?? So as to save our almighty LEO!!

There are tonnes of apps and widgets that can do this already, just use one of those. I'm sure there's even a way to put it in the notification bar so that you have easy access anywhere within the OS.

Thanks for the reply.. Why are we waiting to have it in each of our roms then!! We must have it inbuilt in the rom so that all the button based problems are solved!
p.s can you name a few apps/widgets that you said can do the job??

I strongly disagree with that, there's no reason to have it built in into the ROM. I for one would never use it, because it's just so much easier to press the power button. Sure, it dies eventually, but by then most would have moved on to a new device. Having had this phone for two years now, I haven't had any issues with the power/lock button.
As for the apps and widgets, search on Google Play and find them yourself.

The animation effect of the recent apps button stutter.

Hi guys,
I found that my nexus 4 when pressing the recent apps button on the navigation bar to call up the recent apps list, the animation effect of that button looks stutter.
For example, when I using the browser and I want to switch to the message app, I press the recent apps button, after I release the button the disappear of the press effect is not smooth. Have anyone also face this problem? Or are there any solution of this problem?
I have already tried to wipe my phone and flash custom rom but the problem still there.
Sorry for my poor Engilsh Please help...

Could you give some more information? Does it happen all the time? When a certain amount of apps are loaded? What ROM is this? etc...

It not happen all the time but quite a lot. I have try stock, CM, AOKP, the problem still here.
Even there is only one app opened.
I took a video of the button, you can see that the smoothness difference between the home button and the recent apps button...
When my finger leave the button the glow effect delay quite a lot compared to the home button.
