Hi All,
Running ViperOne on an M7 One. In Venom Tweaks I'm attempting to change the icons that appear on the lockscreen from the defaults. If it's relevant, I'm coming from ViperOne 4.7, and did a wipe in aroma when installing 5.8, I'm having no other issues with this ROM and had no such issue in 4.7.
Anyway, as soon as I toggle the "custom shortcuts" option in Lock Screen->Misc->Shortcuts, I get a "com.android.ui has stopped responding..." message, and then loop. All types of reboots continue the loop as soon at they hit the initial lock screen. So far only a factory reset in recovery has been able to fix the loop for me.
I found the error hard to Google, due to the common name of the process that's involved. One solution I did find involved those who removed all traces of Sense during ROM install, as that apparently would leave you unable to change the icons on lockscreen (I'm not sure about this, but I didn't remove Sense so it doesn't apply anyway).
Any pointers as to what I could try would be appreciated!

Hi, encountered this error when trying to install themes (anything UI related). I'm on stock LRG and appreciate it if someone can enlighten me on why that error pops out. Thanks.
Which themes you're trying to use? Maybe it's time to wake up, dragon...
Tried everything actually, anything that's related to the UI, the 15 toggles systemUI, iceyblue theme etc.
Nah, no need to wake the dragon
Hello,
I have a question to You guys about the multi user stuff in android.
I know it has been implemented in android 4.2 but I have never used it so far and now I've flashed jellybam (android 4.3).
The problem is I just can't switch the users. I click on the "setup user", the phone changes to the other user I want to set up (restricted permissions) and I can't go back to my main account. The only way is to reboot the phone.
There's nothing on the lockscreen to change it, neither in the power menu
Do You know how to change users?
EDIT: Ok, I've changed settings to display users in power menu.
Thread can be closed.
OK, I have searched for this, but have not found it in this context. I did a flawless OTA and install of 4.3 on my S4 Active. After install I had an image of an open padlock and the word "custom" show up on a boot screen, Used to get this in the early root days, but not for several month after following some tips elsewhere in these forums.
I also had trouble connecting WiFi unless I rebooted. Whether I needed or not, I did a complete factory restore, which seems to have cleaned up the WiFI thus far, but not the lock/custom situation.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Root, TWRP 3.0.2-3
Problem appeared on: SLICK-S427-ROW_by_SHENGE 6.0 rom
Problem:
notification icons on home screen top bar are gone
quick settings/notification pull down menu (the one with wifi, flashlight, airplane, etc.) on home screen cannot be accessed (neither by swiping down nor by using a Nova Launcher widget)
On the lock screen they both work. On a 5.0.2 rom (miui7_v6.5.26) they both work as well.
I have tried options, different launchers, TWRP factory reset, TWRP full wipe, TWRP format data and flashed several other top 6.0 roms - nothing helped. Even a full format and installing a 6.0 rom that I know worked before!
Cheers.
Same problem
I have exactly the same problem. Even the alarm wont go off because for some reason the notifications dont work. The problem happened when I tried to put in a second SIM and since then I can't get to fix it.
my solution
I probably should have posted this long ago, but forgot. Anyway, here's my issue:
it's the additional security PIN.
I have tried multiple unofficial ROMs for my phone. Some of them had the option of setting an additional security PIN (10+ characters) for situations like SIM card change (anti-theft measures built into the ROM). The problem is, when you later change the ROM to one without such an option, it will somehow "remember" (I guess the info is stored on a different partition or something) that it should ask for the security PIN upon changing SIM cards, but the current ROM lacks this functionality. This is why the phone acts so weird.
The solution for me was: flash a ROM that had this security PIN anti-theft option, enter it and disable it completely. Then you should be able to flash and enjoy whatever ROM you want.
Hope it helps.
EDIT: this could possibly also be achieved by installing an anti-theft apk that has this functionality, but I have not tried that.
Which ROM
Do you remember which ROM has the feature? Cause I cant seem to find one.
I don't quite remember, but most likely it was one of the AOSP LEMONADE family, a Lollipop.
Thank you very much sir, my problem finally got solved. For future reference, the ROM I used is this one: http://www.needrom.com/download/aosp-lemonade-v3/ although I' m sure many more will have the same anti-theft option.
ROMing virgin, so be gentle.
Regardless of which ROM I use my phone stalls at the ROM logo and just cycles through the logo animation.
I have TWRP 3.0 loaded and most installs seem to load fine but cant boot up.
Viper ROM loaded but a lot of the services kept crashing so now I am looking for something else.
A lot of the instructions to loading ROMs seem inconsistent on the process so if anyone has some words of wisdom it would be appropriated.
Ok I finally found a ROM that installed. I ended up installing BadBoyz but it has some bugs i need to figure out. The HOME button doesnt work or when i slide down the shortcut menu from the top there are no shortcuts except for settings and it doesnt work either.
