I am running cm10, and my home button (hard or soft) does not work. the screen just turns blank then goes back to the app i was on. sliding the home button up to get to GNow doesn't work either. this happens with every app and nightly version i use since 11/19. i have reflashed, cleared caches, etc. and found that the error was in my data partition- and more specifically, one of my apps. here is a link to my logcat when i pressed the soft home button:

and here is the list of all the folders in my /data/app folder:

If you need anything else, just ask. Thanks!

I would guess that one of your installed apps has captured your home button then is crashing when it tries to use it. To find out which one it is, temporarily install a third party launcher like zeam or adw and the next time you press the home button a list of eligible apps that can use the home button pops up. Your bad app is probably on that list. Chose the new launcher, make it default and see if your problem goes away.

That didn't work, it just turned black again. Would only an app with su permissions be able to do this, or any app at all?
By "do this", I mean screw up the home button. Also, I wiped the data, and it worked fine, but after I installed all of my apps, it stopped working again. Also, I am running some other apps that aren't from the Play Store (well they are, but the apk's were downloaded from another source). Would those external apps be the culprit?

They do not need su access to capture the home button. When you say reinstall, do you mean reinstall, or do you mean restore with a backup program. The latter usually restores the app's data with it and recreates your problem.

I mean reinstall, like from the play store, but it did it automagically when i logged into google play, i didn't need to go to each app and install it.
Would the external apps be a problem?
Also, I know that in the Manualnooter for the stock OS there is an app called "Homecatcher". would that help at all?
Okay- I looked through the logcat and guessed what the issue was- lock screen was disabled.
I re-enabled it through the notification bar, and home button is fine. Any reason why this might be? And how would I make it so that I can disable the lockscreen again?

Dont let play store install them all at once. Back them up with TB and reinstall them one by one until your problem re-occurs. And do it without the data. Don't know about homecatcher. That is for stock.
Okay, I've narrowed theproblem down more. If the NC boots with the lock screen enabled, you are fine, even if you disable it. But if it boots with the lock screen disabled, then the home button will not work until you re-enable it and unlock the device. After you e-enable it, you can disable the lock screen again. Not anything major, but definitely an annoyance. Should I report this in the CM10 thread and ask them to fix it? Sorry if I sound like a big ******* taking their work for granted, but I don't have a 64-bit computer to build on. If I had one, I would prbly fix the problem myself. Oh well, thta's what Xmas is for. (A bit off topic from this thread, but is the Acer C7 Chromebook 64-bit? If it is then i would just hack ubuntu on it then build off of that.)
so whenever i try to send a new SMS, my screeen would like freeze for 10 seconds, after pressing the home or menu key.. then if i keeping pressing home , itll end the app. When i go to open the app, itll show it being sent.

Thats a very strange software issue... try factory reseting and if that dosnt fix it you might need a 3rd party texting app if you cant return it for a new one haha... this shouldnt happen a 3rd party messaging app to suggest would be (invi) Leme know what happens
My S4 has randomly reverted to alot of default settings (overnight). For example, it has "forgotten" my default sound settings and default apps. The home button no longer works (presumably because my default launcher was Nova and it has "forgotten" it), my usual notifications are gone (e.g. the weather, Llama profile), and probably alot more that I have not yet noticed. This is not the first time that this has happened in the last 6 months.
I guess a factory reset would be a good idea, but does anyone know why/how this happens? I'm running Phoenix ROM v9 (Android 4.4.2).
I've just noticed that the Notification bar has effectively been disabled - none of my app notifications are appearing as they should
???
It's better to give a Hard reset.. Did you tried it?

By hard reset presumably you mean a factory reset, with a wipe of the cache partition? I'll try that next (I'm re-flashing the ROM in no-wipe mode first to see if that works).
I suppose I know what would "fix" the immediate problem, but I was wondering if anybody knew why this sort of thing happens in the first place?
I KEEP losing my "clear all" recent apps (search bar too) - Is there a permanent fix?
My clear-all recents [X] keeps disappearing.....It starts with the search bar disappearing in the recents screen, then shortly thereafter, the [X] disappears.
I know there's a temporary fix for this by booting into safe mode and re-starting (and I've done this each time)... But after 5 times in less than 4 weeks, this is getting old having to re-setup defaults, widgets, and Dropbox (a few other things too).
Does anybody know what is causing this or if there is a permanent fix I've overlooked?
I had faced this issue once.... The only way recovered is reset the phone.. i know its very annoying but i could not find any other way. May be you can speak with Oneplus customer support and see if they have any fix.
I'm also facing same issue but don't think so that there is any permanent fix for this. Maybe a future OTA update will fix it. Till the time you if you want the "clear all" button and If you are rooted than you can use Gravity box.
Same thing happened to me as well. I did something different.
Just stopped clearing app and let android do the lmk, as needed.
This just happened to me. After installing the latest update to the Google app and rebooting the phone, the search bar and clear all button in the recent apps panel were gone.
Incredibly how buggy OOS is ... I thought leaving Huawei was a good idea ...
UPDATE: Fixed it by rebooting into safe mode and then rebooting "normally" again, though I had to set up all my accounts again after that.
When I get a notification from Discord, Messenger and sometimes WhatsApp and then click on the notification, it takes 2-3 seconds for the app to open. If I press the app icon from the launcher it opens immediately.
So far I've tried restarting the device, clearing app cache, reinstalling the apps, disabling battery optimization and finally wiping the cache partition from recovery. The only thing that worked was wiping the cache partition, but the problem returned after a day or so. Interestingly enough, the problem does not appear when using Messenger Lite.
Any ideas or fixes? Have any of you encountered a similar issue?
