No Vanilla Clock After Lockscreen Fix...

Hey guys, I just got done flashing the third update on Flipz's page that fixes the Vanilla lockscreen problem and deletes the stock world clock/installs the Vanilla Android clock. I'm running the latest version of DamageControl, and prior the flash I had installed JsChiSurf's Rotary-Style lockscreen without time and carrier that's downloadable OTA from DCUpdate (I went in through adb and also removed the HTC lockscreen prior this so that things would be transparent). I didn't care to lose the Rotary-Style lockscreen because I needed the alarm clock fix.
The new locksreen works like a charm, but I have been unable to find a Vanilla clock app in my app drawer (and of course, my stock clock app is gone). The time displays fine on my taskbar and my lockscreen--just no app to be found anywhere. I did a nandroid backup, so I could in theory just go back to what I had, but I really needed the alarm clock fix and don't want to do that.
I hope I'm not just missing something obvious. Any help is appreciated. I've been a lurker here for a couple of weeks and have benefited greatly from all the info...I searched and searched to see if anyone else had this problem, but couldn't find anything (even searched the replies to the issue on Flipz's page).
Thanks in advance...

Anybody...?
I applied the one that didnt delete the original clock app, but i still want the fix. I want to be able to use my alarms without having to run desk clock every night or have to restart whenever the alarm goes off.
Alright, I'll answer my own question since I figured it out by accident.
Long story short, re-flashed my ROM yesterday, opened my apps drawer this morning, and there was the new clock app.
Don't know why. Just posting in case someone else has this issue in the future. Won't guarantee it'll fix anyone else's problem, and quite frankly I don't really know why it fixed mine. Didn't wipe, nothing. Just re-flashed.
If someone could explain, that's cool, if not, that's cool too--my phone works like I wanted it to now.

Google Maps update

Has anyone done this on their Xoom?
Any obvious changes for better or worse?
What version is the update? I have 5.1.1 but IDK whether that's an update or not.
EDIT: Nevermind. I just saw the update. Google Market needs to work on the notification system.... Gonna try it now.
UPDATE: No problems so far. I love Google Maps BTW - One of the reasons to get the Xoom
it adds dynamic traffic rerouting. but yeah, for some reason google apps don't show up under my apps thats why we aren't getting notified on them; you can search the app and it will give you the option to update.
This should be interesting. I'm in NYC several times a week and notice that the traffic on GM is generally wrong especially in Manhattan. Even using it on the approaches into NYC from NJ, I find Inrix and MSN to be much more accurate.
The Latitude launcher button moved from next to the menu button to the left side of the screen, all by itself. Took me a sec to find it, but I'm glad I did cause I almost just complained that they removed the button altogether

[Q] Tasks Widget and editing not 100%

Hi All
To my question:
I do love the S-planer and the widgets that comes with my note (Running ICS LPY) Synced to Exchange 2010
And her is my problem/Question:
And that is that i can not when i edit a task/outlook-to-do-item set it to be like 40% complete as you can in outlook. And when you "tick" the task/outlook-to-do-item in the Widget it does not mark the task/outlook-to-do-item as completed and you just end up with alot of tasks/outlook-to-do-items that are marked as OVERDUE!
So here is my question. Is there a way to solve this two problems or do i have to get a new widget and an app for properly being able to edit task/outlook-to-do-items ??
I have looked for some time to solve this but now i have to admit defeat and ask for help.
SO is it ONLY me that this is bugging?
Guess soo
Yeah I've got the same problem ever since the ICS update. l can manage without it for now. But we're getting Jelly Bean sometime soon. Maybe that'll fix it otherwise it's ask Samsung.

Galaxy Gear Working GOOD on s4 NOW

I purchased my gear yesterday and after finding and instaling the gear manager via samsung's app store I am happy to report that the only 2 things i don't have working at the moment is Svoice... seems to be a bug telling me to accept a disclaimer on the s4 itself but I have already done it and am using Svoice. Two is Notifications of txts and some others... got google now notifications to come thru but most others won't push to the watch. Contacts list... Phone dialer and speakerphone call log and apps work GREAT!!

Running HyperDrive from sbreen latest release.
Same here on an ME7 Verizon S4. Looking forward to the 4.3 update.
Working on GS3 too
Bought the gear today, hoping it will show the time at least until 4.3 update is out for gs3 in December, but happy to report that it's working with the gear manager downloaded from the Samsung store. Also notifications aren't working, same message for S Voice as above, can't download new apps and weather isn't syncing - everything else is working great! Call quality is surprisingly good, camera fun... really happy Samsung customer here
With the recent release of the MJ7 update for the S4 have either of you seen any issues fixed with notifications?

No calendar notifications on lock screen since update to LineageOS 19.1

Hello
Since updating to LineageOS 19.1 I no longer receive notifications from the calendar app. The notification only appears after I open the calendar app. Does anyone know the problem and can help me solve it?
Many thanks
Found this thread, says apps such as cleaner master can cause such an issue.

I have the same problem. One thing to try is long press on the calendar app and tap the "i" to see the app info. Make sure that alarms are allowed (at the bottom) and also try changing Battery to "unrestricted".
I have the same problem in a Pixel 4a (sunfish). I was going to open an issue at Gitlab, but haven't been able to narrow the focus. Last week I got a notification (right on time), while I was on a phone call. However, I can't figure out when it works (almost never), or why.
As you said, sometimes I get old notifications (24+ hrs old) while working on the calendar app.
There's another issue with Calendar. It crashes when you try 'search'. I saw this on Gitlab. That can be fixed by installing the FDroid version of Etar 1.0.30. However, notifications aren't fixed by using that version. I tried.
I just changed Battery from 'Optimized' to 'Unrestricted'. I don't have much hope, though.
I'll post if that helps.

Changing battery to "Unrestricted" made the difference for me. I've not missed a calendar notification since the change. Thanks for this.
However, is this a bug? Should it work with battery 'Optimized'?
BTW, you might consider having this discussion within the official LOS19 thread.

Yes, this method seems to be working for me as well. May be good to mention it in the LOS19 thread. It is sort of a bug in design if anything. Since the calendar app may not be accessed much or have constant reminders, it might not be given high priority in the optimization.
Thank you for that information. Will try that with changing battery to "Unrestricted".
Thank you! Everything now works perfectly!
