ok my phone is messed up. ive done a lot of testing and think i know whats wrong, i just dont know how to fix it.
problem: sometimes when i reboot my phone, it loads up the screen then the sceen just goes black instead of loading my homescreen
now from what ive seen, it only does this when i use any other home app as default besides my default. open home/advanced launcher. when i turn my phone off and my default home app is the default home, it'll boot back up nicely. how can i fix this? or should i just stop using alternative home apps?
btw, im on cm 4.0.4
latest radio and hard spl
g1
cm 1.4 recovery
and i HAVE tried wiping many times. and reflashing. doesnt fix it.
or could it be that these home alternatives arent compatible with cm 4.0.4?
idk. you guys are the experts
I think you answered your own ?

well sort of.. i was kinda wondering if theres a fix to this, so that i can use home alternatives, or if im screwed and just gotta use the default
I would imagine with cyan having so much donut in it and the home alt's not being designed for it they wouldn't work right.
Wow, a real answer and one that made a whole lot of sense, it must be getting cold outside
I have alot of gas tonight. Stupid taco bell
And he's right we are the experts, of what I don't know but of something
of what we do.
lol. thanks...
i think
Possibly, not sure either
ohh billly
idk about 4.0.4
but cyan said home alternatives wont work on his experimental. i believe he said only dxtop was updated (dont quote me on this, check his twitter)

Hi all,
for some reason, when i mess around with my phone, and install stuff, the people tabs stops working, and its starting to really bug me.
It seems that when i install stuff it happens, like just now. I had some themes and a font installed, and the phone was running perfect, and now, i just installed something else, and the people tab has died!
Does anybody know of the reason for this? Do i have a faulty phone?

I dont have any problems with this phone what so ever (using Duttys latest 2.5). To me it sounds like your installing faulty applications.
Its nothing that loads of people on here havent installed on their devices!
then you must be doing something wrong because this is the first i've heard of this problem
Actually I have the same problem. For some reason the entries of faforite people dissapear from the people tab. I run a stock Dutch ROM with nothing special...
Anybody know a solution?

Yup thats exactly what happens to me. Do you get an error report and then it goes back to the home screen and says launching touch flo 3d?
I run a stock ROM, and its really bugging me, because the good thing about win mo is that ability to install these kinds of apps, but im afraid to because the chances are it will bring back this errror.
I really don't understand why plp stay with crappy/buggy old roms... just because they are official... you should spend 10 minutes to cook one of the newest roms here around and you'll see how many steps they are forward to "official" ones

Agreed....I hate to say this gents, but the original ROMs that HTC publish are not as good as you think they are
If I were you I would pick a resectable ROM that looks like what you require, set your PDA up and "flash" away all the quirks and bugs that HTC introduce to the device!
I know its not right, but thats life with HTC.......
Official ROMs are fine.... until you find this forum
then you start installing apps... tweaking... uninstalling... it all gets messy.
You baisically try and create what custom ROMs do on top of a 'Official' ROM. Best advice is to Flash a ROM, you can always put it back to 'out of the box condition' by flashing the SPL and Official ROM back (i've had to twice for repairs )
if you are talking about your favorites clearing, that happened to me when i moved the people tab. i bet your favorites are hard coded to that location so moving or altering it messes it up in some way.
recently my phone has been acting weird, for an example, today, i was at work and i was responding to a text, and as i was typing my phone suddenly froze, and then next thing i see is the "android" screen and it starts back up, im just wondering if anyone else has this problem, its been doing this for about 3 days now? or if anyone could tell me how to get around this problem itd be really great, thanks..

Some background info would be nice.
yeah I had this same problem when i was on an earlier version of CM experimental build, the problem for me was that it would do what i would call a soft reboot, where the android loading screen would appear and load for a couple seconds then go back to the home screen.
I found this problem out in the browser when i was trying to go back to the prvious pagr it would "reset" I dont know the cause but maybe you should get a Log of the error or when this happens and post it here or send to Cyanogen
Yeah some more background information would help us assit you with the issue. If possible create a signature with information about the ROM you use and any settings.
haha easy, my phone is.....unchanged at all

i think he means "all your versions belong to us" or "Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?"
seriously though no one is going to help you if you don't want to tell us any background info, and if you don't want to, then why make a thread to begin with.
i didnt mean to be a smart a** what i meant by that was everything is how the phone comes out of the box, no rooting, no roms, no nothing, sorry if i came off the wrong way

don't feel bad about it, you took the ragging like a true sport
Ive been playing around with roms for a while now but i still cant figure out how to get rid of a few things.
1. during activation needing a sim card plugged in (and how to skip the google sign in)
2. the dialer and contacts (i haven't removed them because i dont think alot of programs would work because of the dependencies)
no one?
well most roms these days have the "skip" button and if not that most hero roms have the Wifi option so you can use your own connection to log in your gmail but there is also a way to sign in if you dont have data with a wifi connection if you have one i can provide that for you
and as for your second question i dont understand but as far as i kno everything with contacts on every rom seems to work fine so you should be ok but if not i dont kno how to answer your question
any other questions just ask ill try and help
just to clarify If i remove the dialer, contacts and phone.apk and mms would android (the os itself) run fine? and would programs that need accesses to those things work?
(sorry for all the questions, this is my first from the ground up build i've previously added and removed a few things to a cryogen rom but thats its)
bump :O
Make a nandroid backup and just remove them and see for yourself
yo bman, what's good man, i love how this guy likes bumping

haha ive seen worse..like that guy who bumped his thread after less than an hour.
im still sick, i was gone for two days and there were 4 pages of Q&A's X_X
New problem, after making a rom with no phone apk just to see what would happen im greeted with android.core not responding force close and it does it every 5 seconds how could i get around that problem? what file controls programs on start up that i can edit to get rid of the problem or is all hope lost and i need to hang up my belt on the android mid rom?
when the phone goes to sleep i am unable to wake it with the menu button...or with any button...i've tried all sorts of combinations of button presses and nothing works...i've just wiped and flashed my phone not too long ago and it was working fine before...i've googled and searched xda to no avail...any help?
What ROM are you running?
Overclocking too high maybe?
Dude you gotta be more specific.

Agreed when you post something like this people can't really help you.. It's like saying the brakes on your car are bad.. There's like 100+ types of brakes to replace it with but we need the right one.
My first instinct would be to tell you too Nand restore and check to make sure you're running the right spl&radio for that rom.
Thanks for the replies guys...was running CM 2.1...no overclocking, a few widgets on home screen, no swap, no CC...on class 2 sd card...had to reformat and repartiton...somehow sdcard got corrupted...but went back to 1.6...had too many other issues with 2.1...no more problems yet...
if you are using cyans 2.1, download an app called Menu Unlock from the market for $0.99 there is some places on here to get it for free maybe google it you should be able to find it
Well heres the story. I flashed cyanogen 6.0 and all was great,fast,smooth,perfect... Then it all went downhill. The backlight cut out. After wiping,reflashing,doing everything possible as far as that it was still the same.
I soon figured out that if i lock my phone while it was closed, then slid it open and hit menu the backlight would turn on, but it will not work when its not slid open at all.
Problem #2
As i have been dealing with the first problem and i dont have alot of time to fix it because of work and all, it grew even worse. Now when i do what i was doing to get the backlight to come on, The phone will randomly freeze/backlight wont come on at all/ Screen wont even come on.
When i turn on the phone sometimes the screen wont even come on but the backlight will and it wont get anywhere."blank lit black screen no tmobile g1 logo"
This also happens when i go to recovery using home+power. I remedy that by taking out the battery and starting the phone till it works.
Could someone please help me out here i dont really have to much to spend on a new phone and it would be great if i can get this one going like it should again.
you need to wipe before reinstall
if you have armonR, you wipe everything the wipe menu and flash the rom and the flash gapp-3
ive done that many times, hasnt solved anything. i dont know whats going on..getting to the point where i might just break down and get a htc hd2 and put android on it
Try flashing the Defanged Base (which you can find on the cyanogen wiki) then flash the Rom again.
to be honest it was time for an upgrade anyways, now i have the samsung vibrant. Its awesome. Thank you for the help anyways though.
