[Q] CM10.1 nightly (milaq), multi-user, and crashing Trebuchet and applications - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just updated my CM9 nightly to CM10.1 one (20130903) by milaq. Everything seems great but the multi-user functionality is experiencing some crashing. Trebuchet starts crashing when I install Google Hangouts or Facebook for the freshly added user. The problem goes away when the app (Hangouts, Facebook) is removed for that user. Hangouts also crashes when I try to launch it. Facebook causes so frequent Trebuchet crashing that it cannot even be started.
Hangouts and Facebook work for the primary user.
Trebuchet also experiences some strange behaviour for the extra users. Newly installed apps are not visible in the apps list until a reboot. Widgets also seem missing from the list of all widgets and do not seem to reappear until the Trebuchet data is wiped from the settings.
Any ideas how to overcome these issues? The multi-user functionality seems to be incomplete, but I didn't find any information about it with a brief Google search.

Do you have a theme applied? I have found that the multi user feature doesnt work with themes. Return to the stock theme and everything should work.

Problem solved!
Thanks for the tip. I didn't realize that the theme that was a leftover from my CM9 installation could cause problems because everything worked fine for the primary user and the theme was a simple colour theme.
Thanks again!

[Q] honeycomb issue

anyone running honeycomb on nc having launcher FC issues? the launcher for me FC's every few seconds making it essentially unusable, it was working fine for a little while now Fc's every few seconds..
Yes, I had this problem. It is from a app that is not compatable with 3.0 yet. Go into market and start deleting one at a time until it stops FC.
In that while it worked what did you add to or change in the system? Maybe it was a widget or background? I haven't had any fc's with my launcher....yet
edit: a minute too late
no changes to system, just apps from market, so obviously one of those, if anyone is having an issue maybe we can narrow down which app/apps are to blame
I was having the same problem. It stopped after I uninstalled BW.

Slim ICS +Stock Launcher Widgets

I have Slim ICS installed on my phone and configurated it with (stock) Launcher. So Lightning Launcher is not activated.
If I want to add certain widgets like Apollo to my homescreen it fails. Message: Unfortunately Launcher has stopped.
Previous time this was not a problem so I know it is possible.
How should I operate?
Also OTA app is not working
Hi,
I don't use the stock launcher. I'm using Apex. Initially, I had a similar problem. I was able to fix it by going in the launcher settings - Advanced and enabling "Enable Root Helper". This allowed me to add widgets from drawer with root access.
So, perhaps you could try looking for a similar setting in the launcher you are using.
Or, try using Apex. I've been very happy with the free version.
To your other question about OTA. I find the Update Me app a bit inconsistent. Just now as I read you thread, starting the app, it appeared not to be working. About a minute later all menu items appeared. Ordinarily, I wouldn't have waited so long. There have been similar reports in the Slim thread. It is what it is, you'll just have to keep trying or not bother with OTA and download directly from slimroms and transfer the file(s) manually to your phone.
Edit: I just OTA'd, slim 4.2 and common. It appeared to be stuck before starting, like over a minute. Looks like patience is a virtue in the matter of Update Me and OTA.
Agreed, I think the problem with ota app is linked to it refreshing data each time you open it, it can be quite erratic, so above solution is best
I am sorry but the launcher is still not working well with widgets.
For the OTA app this could be a solution indeed

RocketRom v10.XXLRK app crash report crash

Hi,
Just installed RocketROM v10.XXLRK after full wipe so previous ROM can't affect my misbehavior anyhow. After installing I set up some scripts from here and GPS fix from here. I got a problem while taking screenshots with default app and while reporting on apps crash - system become unresponsive for some time, doesn't react on any buttons nor screen touches then I get the message that screen capture or Google Play has stopped. Though I can change screenshots app there is nothing to do with Google Play... Any other activity is perfect no additional bugs or errors appear
Would appreciate any comments so far
Thanks in advance
It seems to me that made ​​a mess of scripts installed on your system. Probably the only solution is a full wipe and install ROM from the beginning.

[Q] Problem with apps after returning to ICS

First sorry for my english I'm using google.
After testing the CM10 decided to go back to android 4.0 LG official until there alright.
Was installing the apps again but I'm having problems with two applications in particular, the "Falcon Widgets" and "Tweetings for Twitter" are basically two applications to use twitter, like him because of Widgets that have a transparent look and really cool.
The Problem and the next, when I open the application I have to log into twitter and authorize the use of this application, the problem is that this screen to login simply does not open, I click to log in falcon and gives no error not only acontence nothing now Tweetings the following error appears "Received authentication challenge is null".
Any idea to solve this problem?
I tested both applications on other smartphone and a tablet and it worked perfectly, and both worked in CM10.
Thank you.

FYI: Unfortunately, System UI has stopped (Nova Launcher Transparency and Oreo?)

I want to share this, in case someone else gets into the same bad spot. Perhaps it might help someone.
I unboxed my Nokia 8 this afternoon, and so far I'm impressed with the call quality and general build of the phone. All was going well, until I installed my favorite launcher (Nova Launcher Prime), and then I used a Nova Launcher backup file from another phone, which had been running Nougat. Then, I started getting this error: "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped". The screen would show this, flash off, flash on, show this, and repeat. The only action I could perform was to power off or restart. A few seconds after a restart, the problem recur.
This seems (based on reading random forum threads around the web) to have been a problem between Oreo and the "transparent notification bar" setting in Nova Launcher. I'm testing running Nova right now, without using the backup file from the old phone, and so far, so good. I did a factory reset of my phone, but you if anyone finds themselves in a similar fix, you can also try rebooting into Safe Mode and uninstalling Nova (or whatever app causes the error).
I am using Nova Launcher Prime and have transparency enabled. No errors at all. But I have set up everything from scratch.

Nova Launcher Prime works fine here after backing up from my Moto G5 Plus
Nova Launcher works fine here too. I've used Nova for a while and it's been my experience also that restoring a Nova backup from a previous phone can result in problems. Having said that, restoration on the same phone the backup has been made on has always worked flawlessly. If you start from scratch with Nova on a new phone (somewhat of a nuisance) all works well
Nova prime beta was the first thing I installed, great on Nougat and even better on Oreo.
No issues for me.
I imported a backup layout then tweaked it instead of new setup.

I've bad experience with any kind of backups (including Google backup) - always something goes wrong on any device.
I'll suggest you that when you migrating to new device just don't use any backups.
Back to topic.
I've transparent bar on (I think this is default setting) and no issues at all.
It's definitely backup fault.
I have recently started to have this issue, not sure if it is Nova causing it or something else.
I notice 2 things alongside the system crash -
Often when trying to open the camera app it will trigger the crash no matter if I have no apps open in history or 20 open.
When this happens the phone runs very hot and does not respond to anything, even the power button.
Occasionally the app draw will open (swipe up method) but not show any apps and I need to leave it for some time.
Right now I have uninstalled Nova and will use the stock launcher for a few days to test it, even though I really do not like the stock launcher as it has zero options to customise or use icon sets
I'll report back how the phone performs in the next few days but if anyone has any more info from their experiences it would be good.

I had problems with my Nova launcher. Used a backup from my old phone and then Nova made the battery drain very fast. Removed it and it's files then installed it again without the backup. Made a new config from scratch and now the battery is fine.
So far no issues with stock launcher or Microsoft launcher.
If it is still stable I will go for a fresh install of Nova in a couple of days.
