Not sure if i have same issue... I am on stock launcher with stock widgets, noticed that sometimes standard weather widget or time, just showed in red color saying something wrong. after restart its working again. Recently I did 'Hot boot' via app Rooter, and widgets start working again.
seems some bug...

Widgetlocker and NoLED now play nice

If you were like me and didn't want to try Widgetlocker because it broke NoLED (or vice versa) both apps have now been updated to work together. And work well they do.
This is my first experience with Widgetlocker and I see what all the praise is about. It really is the perfect lockscreen customizer. I've set up a Sense style lock with themed Android sliders for camera and volume controls. Looks great and the options are endless.
Two of the best app devs have worked together to make my phone much more functional and enjoyable. Big thanks to both. Support them if you can.

Is there a way to fix the issue of the soft keys not turning off after a noled notification?

How about noled, widget locked, and SMS popup or hancent?
Everytime I get a notification my screen turns on and stays on. I have everything set to do not turn screen on.
Also, my widgetlocker does not keep Widgets. Everytime i reboot they dissapear. Anybody else?
I'm on cm nightlies.

As far as I know no. The dev has said that he doesn't own a NS and it appears to be a hardware limitation of the phone.

Have you tried the delay SMS notifications setting in NoLED? I don't use popups anymore but that did it for me when I was. Not sure how that interacts with Widgetlocker now though.
For your Widgets not sticking did you try to enable to startup option in WL?

The dev does own a nexus s, he contacted noled to update widgetlocker and have them work together.
Being able to manage the keys would make noled outstanding.
Doesn't noled drain ur battery to have the screen come on for notification til you get to it?

Yeah, I've tried pretty much every combination of NoLED, WidgetLocker and SMSPopup settings and doesn't quite work work together.... :-(
When I'm on system settings my Widgets stay... but when I use my themed Widgets, they keep disappearing.
Something I noticed today. NoLED only seems to work if the default lockscreen is disabled thru Widgetlocker.
Also a few times my screen is on and I get a message NoLED will activate and interrupt me. Not sure if that's a bug or something I've done wrong in the settings.

Im in the same boat beautiful widgets, simiclock, even my power control disappears. Its really making me feel like this was a bad purchase...
Try stock Widgets.... they stay after reboots.

This is the only thing that's keeping me from using NoLED, other than that it would be a kick ass application.

Not as much as you would think. As the majority of the screen is black, and it takes no power to show black (or very, very, negligible) on a SAMOLED screen the battery drain is pretty small. Now, as it is though the Home, Back, Menu and Search buttons also light up which wouldn't help things.
ill try later with the 7 laucher.
OK I am going to try NoLED now.
As far as the Widgets disappearing from WidgetLocker it is due to a conflict with the Theme Chooser in CM7. I have been working with the Dev of WidgetLocker for a little while to diagnose the problem. It was finally confirmed that it is Theme Chooser causing the problem. If you go back to stock theme everything should work fine. Personally I just re add my widgets cause I love my theme
I only have problems with haxzmatics theme... all other themes that come with cm7, the widgets stay.

That is my theme of choice also
Have you tried any other theme that does not come with CM7? I have tried a couple from the market and the widgets disappear with those also.

RC red in the market... no theme Widgets, red statusbar and everything else and Widgets do stay.

That's odd. I don't even use any themed widgets. The only one I use on the lockscreen is AgendaWidget

Home.apk gets frozen

From time to time my widgets on the home screens are getting stuck. for example clock widget, weather widget, music widget. clock stops on a random hour. Music widget is completely not working., The only solution is to restart the phone or "Force stop" the Home.apk. I´m on 10H firmware and I've already restored the phone to factory defaults. Just wondering if someone experienced same thing? if yes can you advise how to fix it? The non stock widgets I´'m using are: BeWeather Pro and ClockQ Premium.
Have not yet heard of that problem?
May use another launcher (apex for example)
and see if it occures with it the same way.
Greetings
It looks like BeWeather was doing it. I've removed the widget from the screen yesterday and since that time no issues at all. Will report that to developer of the app.

Home screens settings lost upon reboot.

Every time I restart my phone, it forgets all the home screen settings. When it starts back up, it asks which launcher I want to use (I prefer ADW EX), and when it gets to the home screen, all widgets and wallpapers are gone. I thought it might have something to do with ADW, so I restarted the phone, and chose the stock launcher. Again, all widgets were gone and the wall paper was changed.
Any clue why this is happening?
Mine is similar on cyanogenmod and removes the messaging icon after every reboot.

Ok, some time after reboot if you see a Green Android Icon instead of the Application Icon that mean the app is not yet loaded so my advice is to leave the phone few minutes alone after rebooting to let him load all the stuff. Also I had this issue with my Z1 at the beginning when icons disappear and instead of the App Icon I had a empty space. I update my launcher to newer version and I never saw this problem again. Can be the Launcher it self, try to switch to different one.
May I ask you which rom give you the option to move the apps to SD?

Not Rom gives u that option but u need to install third party apps like ROM Toolbox ,Link2SD,App2sd etc for moving apps to sdcard
I have the same problem. Where is the link located when moving apps to sdcard? I find no link of the app anywhere.
there is the logcat while moving apps to sdcard...
while rebooting, it is saying that metadata is missing.
I think its cm issue, no launcher shows the app
To solve this problem I used SiMi Folder. see this link

I've tried clearing cache and data, I completely disabled closed, IT EVEN BOTHERED ME SO MUCH I RESTORED A NANDROID AND IT'S STILL DOING IT! Anybody else ever have this problem??
Forgot to add, I'm stock Rom rooted Verizon 4.4.3, s-off bootloader unlocked.. This is really driving me nuts for some reason

to have clock and weather displayed on the blinkfeed screen you must have set blinkfeed as default page like you did. If the weather icon disappear, I think its because weather data are not available for some reason.
Is the weather icon working good if the widget is on another screen?

Yeah It always works good on the actual widgets, it's weird, it was there when I woke up this morning... It seems to only do it at night when it's the moon animation n the weather says clear... I always have BlinkFeed set as home screen, n when the icon disappeared, I can make it reappear If I switch the home screen to a regular launcher page n then set it back to BlinkFeed, but occasionally it just disappears again.. it's weird but oh well I'll just learn to deal with it. I'm just really OCD about my phone n get irritated as [email protected]*% when things screw up

I know this is an old thread, but did you ever figure anything out on this? I just had this happen and can't figure out why. The weather icon on my lockscreen disappeared (time is still there). The widget on my homescreen is fine and shows both time and weather icon. Not a huge deal, but I'm OCD too, so it's going to bug me....

As a matter of fact I did. It only happens when the weather icon is the half moon, if u look at it's animation, it SPINS AROUND, and at some point it spins to where u can't c it, but can fix or reset by going to edit home screen pages, and then set a different page (NOT BLINKFEED ARTICLE PAGES) AS home screen, n then change home screen back to BLINKFEED, and the animation will restart
