What's causing my app drawer problem? - Sprint HTC One (M7)

Hey guys.
About a few times a day whenever I go into my app drawer everything seems to "blacked out". Icons are barely visible but if I simply back out and re-enter, everything is back to normal.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

That's a. bug with sense 5.5 4.3

Gotcha. Thanks. It's strange though, I've been running the same Insertcoin ROM for months and it just started to show up less than a week ago. N

Need to go into Settings/Developer Options/Advanced/
Scroll down and make sure Window animation, Transition animation and Animator duration scales are set to 1x. And also make sure Animation is checked.

Hmm never seen that bug on the 5.5 i use

Yep. That was it. My window animation scale was on. 5. I must've been in there and turned 'em down and forgot.
Thanks.

GoTo Lockscreen

Had never heard of this app until today and I love it... Thought I'd give it a mention.
It's a complete lockscreen replacement.
does it feel as smooth as the standard lock screen? or does it cause some lag?

I haven't noticed any lag.
The only downside in my opinion, so far, is that the gmail icon counter only shows the count of your primary account. Hopefully they enhance that to show counts of multiple accounts soon.
The biggest down side about apps like this is its not a true replacement for the lock screen.. It is just an app that runs over top of the default one.. I bought widgetlocker and now dont use it. I will sometimes see the stock lock screen or it wont have lag when locking it.. I tried GoTo and its about the same..
I came from the iPhone and used intelliscreen which just added stuff to the default lock screen.. Was amazing.. Wish someone could come up with the same type of mod for the android lock screen.. =[

Testing more, the only time I ever see the normal lockscreen is if I enable the option to disable the volume/camera buttons. I reported it, not sure what they'll do about it.
That said, I don't actually want that option enabled so I never see the normal lockscreen in my real use.
I also still have not run into any lag, but I guess that will vary based on a zillion different factors from person to person.
You're right though, I wish that things like this could be true replacements.
Theres a way to disable the lock.screen on htc devices but that's cause its a .apk with some digging around I'm sure someone can disable the tw lock screen. Doing so would allow you to use the app without the stock lock screen showing up. Not to sure about lag thought

That'd be cool... I'll have to search around.
I need to use the phone for a bit longer and test more, but I went into Titanium and froze TWLauncher and I am no longer getting the normal lockscreen, even if I disable GOTO, so I think it is gone.
I do see the normal lockscreen very briefly if I reboot the the phone, but it goes away in a split second and I don't see it again unless I reboot again.
Perhaps that is all that is needed.
This app is the bomb

Nevermind... that SEEMED to work for a little bit, but now if I have the disable volume/camera option enabled I see the normal lockscreen for a split second again. It goes away quickly, but it does appear.
That said, I still never see it at all if I don't enable the disable volume/camera option.
Ok, I installed NoLock (free in the Market) and disabled the lockscreen with it and that works. I see the normal lockscreen very briefly upon a reboot, but never again after that.
I tested a bit longer this time before saying so, lol.
This thing works flawlessly for me. Sometimes my fat fingers have a hard time stopping on the text message one, but that is user error.
Goto is awesome... it even ran with no lag on my hero
Traced with Ultra Keyboard from my *Epic*
So I've been using this for a day now and I love it. Can change the shortcuts to similar apps, can unlock, doesn't make phone lag and it's only .99c

I've also been using it for a day now, and it's a really nice app!
Been seeing the regular homescreen quite a few times though, will try to disable the "enable the disable volume/camera option"' option...
yeah as someone else said you have to use nolock (market) with any lockscreen app but i've heard that it does make it pretty flawless
You can do this and it's probably easier to change your lockscreen over and over, but you can navigate the system, or apply a new theme which either way can change the system files. Someone more knowledgeable than me can chime in as to what you need to do, I'm not sure if you can delete it and disable it that way or if it just puts something else up instead, but I definitely know you can theme the lockscreen because I have seen different ROM's have different lockscreens.
Thanks for.posting this app. Its pretty good.

ive been using goto for roughly three months now.....

What about the power consumption?
After 7 hours the battery is completely empty. This is not normal, right? ( HTC DESIRE HD )

Unlock results in very dark screen

I recently installed widgetlocker, very cool app, but since then whenever I unlock the screen it come on very dark. I have to open up the quick settings and then hit brightness and press the slider to fix it every time. Not sure where to fix this in setting and not sure if it is widgetlocker related or not.
Thanks.

Wouldn't imagine so, since I use it on mine and have never noticed this.
I uninstalled and reinstalled widgetlocker and this does not fix the problem. When I say dark, I mean darker than if you pull the bar in the settings menu all the way to the left. really dark. And a reboot does not fix it either.
more info: when I lock with the app the screen is bright, when the power button is pressed the screen does this fancy fade animation and blanks. When the screen unlock shows up the brighten animation, assuming tha there is supposeed to be one, does not run.
did a restore from a backup and the problem went away. I have not reinstalled widgetlocker and I am not sure that I will

Problem with TouchWiz Home

Hi , i just bought a new SGS3 i9035. My problem is when i try to delete one of the pages, it stuck for few secs then it force close. Im not rooted and im on 4.1.1.
check my screenshots
That's a bug that happens when you disable the animations found in Developer's Options. Set the animation scale to 1x or 0.5x again, then reboot the phone, and the problem should go away.
Hey, thanks a lot! Problem solved thank by me

Missing animations

Has anyone noticed some missing animations like when you hit the recent apps button it will just bring you to the screen not like swoop down. but when you click on an app in the recents menu then it shows the animation. there was another one but i forgot what it was.
I tried to factory reset, turn animations on an off and nothing.
And from what Ive seen in some youtube videos everyones is like this.
Am i crazy or is is just me?
I have noticed this too with the recents.

Probably an attempt to speed up the Rom and make it look faster.

Custom quick settings (no root required)

I stumbled across a custom quick setting app yesterday and I thought it was worth sharing. It's kinda limited at the moment but you can change tiles, hide status bar icons and enable percentage in the status bar battery icon.

The app does allow you to add a custom tile though, which is more than you can do with the system ui page. Hopefully it gets more features soon.
I'm on stock and neither of these work for me.

Did you hold down the cog at the top of the quick settings pulldown, if it's active you should have a little spanner next to it.

Yeah holding down on the settings great does nothing for me.
I need to get did of that stupid do not disturb option that's there.
Very annoying
your doing something wrong, i'm on stock and works for me

Dunno what in doing wrong all I gotta do is hold it. Weird
Worked for me although I had to try holding the cog down twice before it opened up the options in the settings.thanks for sharing the secret!

make sure you hold it down in the center of the cog and I would give it like a good ten or twenty seconds if need be. Mine took two tries and then it worked perfectly.
Still no go..
I'm using a rro layers theme but don't see how that can effect it.
You have to hold it down for a while. I did it for 10 seconds.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Makes no sense why this doesnt work for me..Guess I'll just wait for the settings in a custom ROM or something.
The cog actually spins under your finger, use a stylus or something that will allow you to see the cog whilst you press it.

Do you have a little wrench near the cog? If you do, it's already enabled. Then, go into settings and scroll to the bottom.
ill give it a shot but none of that is there...no wrench and no action when holding.
also make sure you dont have animations in dev settings turned off. animations must be on for it to work.

Try rebooting after after turning them on?

You dont actually need this app. If you hold down the gear in the top right of the drop down for about 5 seconds it will have a pop up saying you enable the additional settings. there is additional menu in settings now. Best feature is being able to see battery percentage.
