Running CM 7.1 stable on N1. No recent changes that I'm aware of. Lockscreen (sliding tab) was working as of this morning.
for the past few hours, whenever I wake the phone (power button/trackball), I'm at the Home screen always - no lockscreen, no sliding tab. It's annoying me no end and driving me nuts.
Googled as much as I can but cant find anything - I've tried the things below
1. CM settings, tablet tweaks - verified that disable lockscreen is unchecked
2. Wiped data for CMSettings (doesnt seem to help)
3. Re verified all my CM settings numerous times - as far as I can tell, they are at the values that I've always had them
4. Disable lock screne on security pin is unchecked. I dont have a security pin set up either.
I have a niggling doubt that somewhere I'm doing something incredibly dumb - hopefully someone can help me nail this...
thanks!
Try flashing CM 7.1 again
Tablet tweaks was the only thing I can think of but you already checked that
Rebooted and lock screen's back... weird. ANyway, will keep an eye on it in case it decides to go AWOL again...

A few weeks back when I was messing around with CM6 nightlies, I tried using the inbuilt notification bar colour options to change the bar to black. I used it for a while and then noticed something, the changes keep coming back...
I have wiped/formatted MULTIPLE times since (including the SD card). I am now currently on CM6 final, and yet again the weird colour settings keep coming back.
Ex - Wiped/formated (including SD) today, flashed CM6 final. After the first reboot everything is stock CM6 (i.e. white notification bar). I reboot the phone again, and boom the weird dark colour changes now appear with the notification bar. I have tried resetting the changes, nothing. I have tried flashing themes (elegant steel today) and while they appear to work, the bar colours are all messed up even after successfully importing the xml. It's almost like they have merged with the old settings.
I'm seriously getting a little pissed. I don't understand why the bar settings ALWAYS come back even after full wipes/format or even after resetting the UI in CM settings. Is there some kind of backup somewhere? (I assume through google because the data on the card and phone has been wiped so many times).
Little help?
For what it's worth another reset of UI, davlik re-wipe and reflash fixed most of it. Also make sure that custom bar and drop down menu in CM settings are both unchecked generally. Mine always were, but apparently checking and then unchecking them again can help.
I think ever since CM nightly 37, my lockscreen is gone. No matter whether it's waking up from sleep, or reboot, my nook color never asked for password and anyone can access it!
I went to the setting -> location & security, the screen unlock option is still "change screen lock". Upon clicking it, I need to input my old password to change to a new one. However this is the only place that it asks me for password.
I tried disable password, then enable. No help.
I tried changing lockscreen setting in CM settings, no help either.
I'm running on CM7 stable now, and the problem is still there. Please help! I can't leave my nook color unprotected.
FYI, I used ROM manager for all ROM updates. The screenlock worked before.
It's a Tablet Tweaks setting, on by default.
Settings -> CyanogenMod settings -> Tablet tweaks -> Disable Lockscreen
Thanks. The lock screen appeared! However, it's at an unusual size, as large as a phone's screen. As a result I couldn't see half of the keyboard to input my full password. Is there a way to have a larger lock screen? Is it the set lcd density trick?

That I don't know. I've never tried adding a password lock, only using the various sliders/rotates on the lock screen.
go to spare parts, unclick compatibility mode

Cool. That solved it.
FYI, it was unselected. So I selected it, unselected, then reboot, then bingo!

I had the same lock-screen issue once I enabled it on CM7 stable. I simply rebooted and it fixed it.
I am running cyanogenmod 7.03 on my Nook Color. I recently disabled the cyanogen settings / tablet specific / disable lockscreen option. I then enabled a pin based lockscreen.
PROBLEM: Now I can no longer unlock my nook color. Why? Because the buttons on the lockscreen are too large, get cropped off by the lockscreen, and I can't see the numbers I need to push.
What can I do to fix this? Please tell me my nook isn't bricked now.
eMMC or SD install?
If the former, you can (as a matter of last resort) wipe /data in CWM, but of course you'll lose _all_ configuration. I can't honestly think of a less intrusive way, unless you can somehow intercept the lockscreen before it has a chance to lock on boot.

Can you remote install a "no lock" app from the online market? I haven't used one to know if you have to select it or not but worth a try.
Only other suggestion is adb pull the build prop and change the lcd density to a smaller number like 140 to see if the lockscreen displays properly, turn off the pass lock then change the lcd density back.
The tablet was frozen, so I couldn't reboot it until the battery ran out completely and I recharged it. Fortunately, after that happened, suddenly the lockscreen size was normal and I could push the buttons again, yay!
Thanks for the helpful suggestions anyways guys.
I had the same issue but a hard reboot would solve the problem.
In the last day or two, I've noticed that my Sense Launcher animations are abbreviated or non-existent. System animations are fine, but the Sense animations seem turned off entirely. The Developer Options setting for Animations doesn't make a difference, either.
Some of the animations I've noticed this for:
Opening the app drawer
Unlocking the phone
Adding widgets
Did I accidentally flip a switch somewhere? I'm still running stock everything.
So...I fixed this. Somehow. Still not sure what happened or what fixed it, but I did the following:
Installed Nova Launcher
Realized the app drawer animation still wasn't playing
Enabled Animations in Developer Options
Shut down the phone completely
Turned the phone back on
Everything was groovypants again
No idea what happened, but at least it's better now. :good:
Okay, just one more post. It looks like the Developer Options Animations setting is the key, but it doesn't fully-stick until after a reboot - though maybe it's not the actual reboot that's causing it, but rather the re-starting of the launcher.
Anyway, that's a whole lot of talking to myself, but I figured if I answered my own question it might help someone in the future.
Hi,
I'm using CM10.2.1 on my ovation device and have noticed a significant slowdown/lag when rearranging (moving) app-icons on the home screen.
It depends on the number of icons that are displayed on the current page - when there are many icons, the slowdown is horrible.
My grid size is 8 rows x 5 columns.
If I check "Hide icon labels (Hide homescreen icon labels)" (Personalization->Home Screen->General), rearranging app-icons is very smooth with no slowdowns. So it has something to do with the label rendering?
What can I do to avoid the slowdowns without having to learn the app-icons by heart.
Have you tried enabling force gpu acceleration in developers options?

Yes, I tried that already. It makes no difference. If I enable "Show GPU overdraw", the icon labels are marked light red to red - no matter wether "force gpu rendering" is checked or not.
I also tried "Disable HW overlays" - this has no effect.
How many icons are needed for this to appear? I can add that many and see if I see the same thing.

With 6 Icons on one page, the difference is quite obvious.
If you add more icons, it will get worse. If you fill a 5 x 8 screen with icons, it's a real pain.
Strange my home screen has 20 things move around like butter

You'll probably find that its one (or more) app that's not playing nicely. I'd start by removing them one at a time until it reveals itself.
Just did a full wipe and clean install. Skipped everything possible - no wifi configured, no Google account, no restore from Google.
Then dragged some icons on home screen. Moving them around is now much better, but not as perfect as with icon labels switched off!
After that, I verified the grid size in the Trebuchet preferences - changed nothing, returned to home screen. Now some of the icons are not visible any more and some of them are outside the screen area.
I've got no idea what's going on here... Trebuchet perhaps is mixing up colums and lines sizes of the homescreen grid?
All I can think of to suggest at this point is:
Make certain your chosen CWM10.2 downloaed properly (or do it again).
Make certain you have the correct GApps package.
Make certain you installedd them with the correct version of CWM.
I'm assuming you followed the Guide for Dummies. It's pretty idiot resistant. After I create the bootable SD, I like to install just the EMMC version of CWM followed by the ROM. Then let the Nook boot all the way through. Go into settings and enable boot options, reboot into recovery and then install GApps. Reboot again, connect to WiFi and let everything update.
If that doesn't work, I'd suggest starting over from a fresh install of the stock ROM.
Went back to stock ROM without problems.
Reset to factory defaults.
Downloaded cm-10.2.1-ovation.zip again. No file differences found. Flashed it via CWM v6.0.2.8 for HD+ (Stock)
Flashed gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip.
The problem is still present.

Don't know what else to say. I just (literally) went from stock to 10.1, then to 10.2, then to 11 (which I'm on now). I would rather pack the stuff I use on one screen than flip back and forth between screens. I keep it full with widgets, shortcuts, and quick-launchers. No problems like yours.
When you say, "Reset to factory defaults." you mean you flashed it back to the stock firmware?
Yes, I did a full wipe and flashed back to stock ROM - to start over from scratch.
Then I flashed CM 10.2.1 as described... and the problem is back.
Now I'm trying CM11 (M6) which does not show this particular problem (everything moves smoothly), but it has some nasty bugs. Reading a book in "Google Books" often causes a crash and the Nook reboots. The notification bar crashes sometimes when I pull it down. Sound is strange in King.com games (Candy Crush etc.)...
FWIW - You're in good company. My most used app is Kindle (Ironic, aint it?). I get random reboots with every ROM I've tried. Some are much worse than others.
