Hi folks.
I am having a really odd thing happening to my home screen icons.
I have searched the viper rom threads and HTC one threads but can't find anything similar.
I decided to put a few icons on my homescreen in a grid. (see first pic)
When I go to select any icon they all jump to left. (see second pic)
If I go into apps and back to the home screen the icons return to the original position...
The other odd thing is if I try and select the far most right icon it registers as a press on a blank screen. (ie it takes me to the widget selection screen and not the app I selected. It seems as if the grid is messed up and registering hits one icon off.
Example, if I try to hit settings icon in first pic it registers the people icon...
Anyone have any idea what is going on?
If it helps, I am on Viperone 3.5 Rom with the 4.06.1540.2 firmware,Hboot 1.5.5 and I'm S-OFF.
Thanks to anyone who can enlighten me on this weird behaviour!
Anyone?
Anyway, I've found a workaround for now if anyone else has this problem...
I removed blinkfeed and added a blank screen where blinkfeed would have been and it stopped happening.
If I add a blank homescreen to the left and put icons on the screen next to it (my main center screen), this jumping around stops.
Weird but it seems to work.

Home Icons shows yellow when selected.
Just thought I'd give back a little. I like and use the "wofty" theme which in turn, uses yellow text in the start menu and on the home screen, so I edited the Home icons to show yellow color when selected. Use like any other custom icons, clocks or whatever. They're just a little different when you select them. I just wanted a complete theme w/ background, text and icons all visually working together.
great job. sorry to sidetrack for a moment, but that home plugin for bluetooth.... i have a BT headset i'd love to make a "quicklink" for like you did in those screens.... can you explain how you did it?
EDIT: I just found out it's called the "HTC BT Quicklink" plugin. Can I get a link to this plugin?

LOL, sorry guys. I logged out for a while, but it's all good. I see you found the cab. Sorry I didn't get back sooner.
I was reading around through the forums and found that you need to use Manila to edit a file "4a087e41_manila" to change the background on the home screen and all the others. Well I did this and it has yet to change anything...
Any advice?
i was able to change the home wallpaper by going to the settings tap and going to wallpaper....go figure...lol
but I still want to change all the other tabs to have the same background as I am using on my home screen.
anyone?
there's a cab that will do that

well the above cab worked great, put my background on all pages, but then also set my clock to 12:59, the date to Jan 1 2008 and set my network to T-Mobile....lol (im with AT&T)
I will mess around with it and see what I can do
ok so I think i got it now.

I went there and used nisse's zip files, then I used manila editor to change the image, the trick is that the image you replace in the files that you download from nisse HAVE to be the same size, exactly 256x256.
But the only problem now is that the picture has gone over my home screen, all i have is the background there, but its only for my home tab. I may try to load a different clock and see what happens.
All i need to do now is figure out how to change what the buttons lok like in landscape mode and I will be golden
Hi,
I want to get the background of the golden theme. I searched really a lot. I manage to change background for all tabs. In settings on today I tried too, but it isn't working. I get an image on the startup, but it isn't looking like the original image... pls help. I tried to edit in manila editor to change the image, but I get an error. Everything is looking good of the golden theme, except this background is driving me nuts. nobody seems to have this problem, am I really just stupid??
here you go.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2968109&postcount=168:)
use this method,. it works every time and you don't have to have 256x256, its 512x512.
Well the cab. works greate but the slider goes to left and the clock has goten white from incolor... have you got an answer to this too?
Thanks!
Hi,
for some reason my stock Sammy clock does not look right... Ever since loading ICS mine has a black background, the font looks different (fatter) and the day/month/date is displayed at the bottom right instead of the bottom left.
Can anyone post their std clock apk?
Also, the original picture frame widget in HC was much nicer. It used tobe rectangular with a "play" button in the bottom right. Now it is either square or displays multiple images and has a "settings" type gear cog in the bottom right. Is this an irreversible change with ICS or would the old one still work and can anyone post that too?
Cheers.
Arghhhhh!!!! Now I have completely lost the widget! I have it in system/app/ but it doesn't appear in the list of widgets when I try to add it to a screen.
I don't think it it is the correct apk.
Could someone with the official ICS upload theirs?
Here's the stock clock widget that i have. http://db.tt/FAV0kukY
Sent from my GT-P6810 using xda app-developers app
Cheers! At least I have the clock back now, although it still doesn't look the same as previously...
Normal
Mine
Anyone got any ideas?
I'm also having this problem... the honeycomb clock looks nice, while the ICS one is horrendous. It shows up looking correctly in the widget picker, but its appearance gets ugly as soon as its on the home screen, without any options to tweak it.
Can anyone post a fixed version of this widget? I'd be willing to root my device just to get it back.
Clock Widget
Same problem here,the name of the day does not show there is only number instead.
I tried to swap the clock widget but it wont allow me to do so and I cant delete it either.
Iam new to this android stuff, does the tab need to be rooted and what program is best
to change sytem files ?

I know this is dragging somthing back form the dark ages but does anyone who has(d) this issue know of a way of resolvinf this?
My screen just doesn't look the same anymore at... I used to be able to line up the clock and the weather app (stock) exactly under each other. Not possible anymore, there's a gap between the two.
Or is it just the way ICS is (if you use TW Launcher)?
Hey all,
So, I'm running Bad Boyz ROM v1.3, Android 4.3. The task/notification/status bar (I never remember the correct nomenclature) is generally transparent or black on home screens, and generally black when in other apps. However, during certain instances, like when going into settings, the bar changes to this grey gradation/textured look. This same look also pops up briefly whenever the home key is pressed, even when the phone is already on a home screen. I know that its really minor and inconsequential, but man does it ever bug the CRAP out of me. Anybody know what I can do to fix this, or can point me to a how to or available MOD? I'd appreciate it.
Hello everyone. First hope I'm posting this in the right place.
Today while moving some icons around on my homescreen (stock lg optimus l90 not rooted) I found a neat little trick and didn't see anything about it anywhere so figured I'd post it here. If it has already been mentioned or talked about please delete. If not hope it helps someone or at least someone likes it.
If you press and hold an icon on the home screen that you'd like to change till app info and delete pop up at the top of the screen don't move it just release the icon, a little blue bubble will appear on the right of the icon. Press the icon again and it will take you to a different screen where you'll have the option of changing the icon to some predetermined icons already there or as a picture of your choice. It will also give you the option to resize the icon.
If you liked this little built in tweak or have used it let us know your results.
