Forcing a Today Screen Refresh with Plugins - Mogul, XV6800 General

I've noticed that when I add or remove a today screen plugin, the change doesn't take effect until I soft reset. I don't believe this is normal and its caused by some app or tweak I have done.
I have tried using Mortscript to force a refresh as well a freeware app called TodayRefreshCmd, but nothing seems to work short of a soft reset. I have removed all today plugins, rebooted and tried to add one like "Owner Info" and it won't show up either.
Has anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it?

Yes Iam experiencing it. I am using a black majik rom but this did not happen before, i upgraded to black satin and now back to black majik, and later i tried to play around with the different kaiser home plug ins and now i notice whenever i try to change a background image on the today screen or any plug ins to on and off the change doesn't reflect instantly like it did before unless you do a soft reset.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks

I restored a previous backup and the problem was not there. I was using an app called HTCustom that Shadomite created for another HTC device that did different hacks for. I think that was the culprit.
If you installed any similar "Hacks" app then it may be the cause.

i had the same problem when x-button 1.5 was installed
the min i removed it big boost in system performance

problem with UltimateLauncher with more than 2 todayplugins

I'm testing this nice app but I've got several problems after the first setup.
If i insert in the varius tab more than 2 today plugins like Pockerweaver and Pocket Digital Clock in one tab and Todayagenda in other one, every time i enter into the program setup for adding or modifing something and i confirm the modification, my device hang. I need to softreset.
Does someone else have the same problem?
I've got I tyTn (I've tested with both WM 6.0 and 6.1)

I've experienced that sometimes during set up...It happened somewhat randomly, but not so much to prevent me from doing what I needed to set up. Also, it doesn't do it now that everythig is set. You might try:
1. make sure all your plugins are not enabled in the normal Today set up before you try to add them into a tab or sub tab.
2. properly set the "Activate plugin on startup" and "Save memory" checkboxes. I generally have the first only checked on the "main" tab items and unchecked on all other tabs. Also, I generally have the "Save mem" unchecked for the main, and checked for the others.
I can't say this will stop it from happening, but i did expereicnce different results when I played with them some...

Thanks a lot for the answer...I've followed you tricks...but in my case the problem appears in a systematic way :-((((
I love UL but its still a tiny bit buggy. It just doesn't seem to like certain today plugins. I don't have a rhyme or reason for it, but sometimes it doesn't play nice.
PocketWeaver?
Could it be PocketWeaver? I've used UL for several months now with MANY today plugins. Currently I am using it with both PocketDigitalClock and TodayAgenda. Since PocketWeaver is the only one I haven't tried could that be what UL is not behaving well with?
At one time I had 5 plugins running in 3 tabs and UL setup has never hung for me.

How long did you wait before a soft reset. On my device I have to wait quite a bit for the screen to refresh after any configuration changes. I have 4 tabs with 7 plugins going right now and it does not hang.
I noticed I couldn't get the Audio Manager plugin to work properly in UL, wouldn't expand on selection.
I have phone weaver running without issue. Phone Alarm was giving me problems and very infrequently batterystatus

UPDATE: i think to have found the reson why...I've set all the ico dimension to a "correct" dimension, like for an ICO with maximum of 48px i've set 48px and not 52 or something more and for an ico of 68 i've set 68 not more or less...and all is working weel now. I can do ini refresh and modify the settings without any phone hang.
I figured I try out UltimateLaunch and I made a new tab and added BatteryStatus today plugin. It locked up, after soft reset it locks up within a few seconds. Any ideas how I can fix this without a hard reset? Thanks
Chris
EDIT: I was able to get to the Today screen and disable UltimateLaunch after about 20 tries and some caffeine! I disabled battery status in the today screen this time and turned of the minimize in Ultimate Launch. This fixed my issues. Thanks anyway.

Sorry a newbie question. How do I actually put in more than 1 today plugin into the home tab of UL? Does the software allow that? I would like the whole today screen to rotate n not only part of it.
Thanks in advance for the reply.

Adjust the height and add a 2nd plugin, just like you did with the 1st.

If you want to have more than one today plugin on the same tab (i.e., HTC Home with another plugin underneath it) be sure to "combine" the tab.
FYI, the perfect fixed height for UL, with the system tray still visible, is 245 pixels.
Thanks very much for all your help. I got it.
Maybe you Gurus can help me....
I wish to have MyFaves as a UL plug-in but it will not show up unless I have it checked in the Today screen items, then it shows up twice (once in UL & once on my Today screen). Can anyone help me? BTW I have a cooked ROM & am using DuPrade's MyFaves cab file.

...267 if you don't have the system tray.
I too experienced some lockup issues using Battery Status. I have since unloaded it and no lockups since. I'm thinking it's anything actively monitoring the system that UL doesn't like. Although i have RLToday installed and using it for my msgs notifications, but that is a registry read.

Scheduled Programs Problem (Notiweather, random reset, random wall)

Whats up guys
I have a problem with my phone with certain software, and I'm trying to figure out why. I cannot run a scheduled program and have it keep working. For example, I can run notiweather and it will work and change the wallpaper for s2u2, but it won't do it again, even though its scheduled every hour. A soft reset scheduler will also not work, along with a random boot screen changer.
I reinstalled mortscript but still am getting nowhere. What else could be the problem?
I am running UL with batterystatus, s2u2 and a few more today plugins.

Start by checking your power settings under you system settings. I have known devices that when the power setting is set to Power off instead of suspend then routine programs won't run. If that doesn't work check your batterstatus settings. It sometimes can be the cause. I would recommend if these 2 do not work remove everything like it from startup and see if your scheduled updates work. If it does, manually start 1 program at a time and see if it continues to function. when it finally doesn't you probably have located your conflict and need to check it out more thoroughly.

Opera closing after flipping!

I hate to waste space and start a new thread .... but searching for this fix isnt working.
Backdrop: I used an Opera tweak located on the Tweaks for HD thread. Did the copying so I can speed up the Opera. .... Okay!
I'm not sure if this is related, but everytime i start Opera then flip it to view/navigate in landscape, it closes/minimizes Opera. Why is that? I had to reset it to make it stop. Once I use Opera and close it out....the problem comes back.
Has anyone experienced this? Is there a fix without hard a reset?
Thanks in advance!
BTW...I got an HD...please ignore the avatar and "Device" below.
I dont have a fix, however I can confirm I have the same issue. Rotating thru 90degrees seemed to start Pocket Informant, causing Opera to minimize. I have also seen it trigger the Volume app, which strangely also rotated 90 degrees?
Im sure its a problem I've caused, tweaking the touchHD with lots of apps (and sometimes removing the tweaks) so Im currently doing a hard reset now I know what tweaks I want to use!
I had this to after changing some settings with 'advanced config'. I reset most of the settings and it stopped doing it, but im not sure which ones fixed the problem.
Well that sounds like a problem easy to reverse engineer then, if you already concluded that changing some settings caused the problem.
@Kenjari: what tweaks did you apply?
@rovex: Can you change back the settings you did in ACT one by one, to find out which one caused the bugging?

I had the same issues; within Opera, watching photo's or playing movies with Coreplayer. I think it's more Gyrator related, because the applications Opera build-in photo viewer and Coreplayer have those functionality as well. Together with Gyrator 2 it can get confused after a while... however it sounds odd, because after a restart it seems to work perfectly, but after a while it comes back again. Just shut-down Gyrator and start it up again will work. Still have to see how to exclude those apps from within Gyrator though...
@Kenjari: you have Gyrator or Gsen installed as well?
GreenFrog
I think it is Gyrator related, but ive removed my copy and it still does it sometimes, so i think something in the registry is messing things up.
I dont have gyrator installed.
Only think I installed and changed was the Ssmpsa change for the Home tab. From the there the problem started. Oh...I made the tweaks; cache size, file cache etc. A while back but it didnt start then.
Just noticed something else, if i open a link from within the RSS reader or the RSS reader is open Operas flipping fails, but if its closed it works.
it's gotta be app related (based on my experience); i did a hard reset reinstall half of the apps i had before and it's working (for now), lol.
Yeah I'm certain its an app or a tweak. The next step is identifying which one so it will stop.
Hi,
I had the same problem, i desactivate all option energy saver in advanced config and it works again. But I don't know which one is the one.
Hope this will be helpfull
Sorry for my english
i have this problem if i install microsoft dot net framework 3.5 compact
for gyrator
same problem here...
I also think it's something with Gyrator 2.
I hope we will find a solution soon.
Same problem here. after soft restart it looks OK. I don't have gyrator. Looks like it is not working after I installed some clock skin.
Same here, gone back to basic build me...hard reset, my money is on gyrator 2 or .net
seems ok now
OK, so far i've only installed after hard reset
sdkcerts
coloured top bar
skype
And i get the flip, lose focus thing too. I guess its not .net 3.5 or gyrator
Was it like that in the original build...hmmm

I have all 3 of those and I think it happened after installing skype. Besides I had to reset it because skype crashed when run for first time.
i removed the colored icon bar and installed the latest version of Opera.exe and OperaL.exe and no more issues with opeara when flipping to landscape.
EDIT: as a test i reinstalled the colored icon bar and (so far) no flipping issues in landscape.

Problem with Volumeoverlay

I am experiencing a rather frustrating problem here. When I change the volume in HTC's audiomanager, it appears a grey column on the left side of the screen (see pic) instead of the green overlay in the middle of the screen as it should be.
What is the problem here and how can I solve this? IMHO, there is a PNG missing. But where do I find that PNG and where should that be stored on my device?
I just found another user with the same problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5028797&postcount=192
It seems that by installing A_Brians WM6.5 Taskbar gfreek edition, I did change HTCVolumeControl.dll.
I will try to change it back to the original DLL.
OK, I have reinstalled the original DLL from the ROM using SKTools, after changing HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\OverlayUI from 0 to 1 the grey column has disappeared, but the overlay stays also disapeared.
I'm having the same problem. I think it has something to do with the custom taskbar you have installed. I installed a custom taskbar myself and it caused my music volume graphic to disappear too. I beleive it has something to do with HTCVolumeControl.dll which has been changed. I re-installed it but it made no difference. If anyone has a solution to this, it would be much appreciated.
Happy New Year!!
*EDIT* Snap! It looks like you found the problem at exactly the same time I posted this. Spooky!!!! If you find a solution to the problem, please post it here. Thanks.
Well I simply gave up after long horus of REG tweaking and changing files from the ROM and from the internet to get it back.
I hard resetted the Phone yesterday and voila, the volume overlay is back. It's an awfully dirty procedure, because I spent half of the night and a few hours today to get all Programs and Settings back. Unfortunately I had only backed up the whole system (including that overlay problem), so the backup was not very helpful at all.
I remember reading, I think its to do with that taskbar you have installed, I had it and had the same problem, now I dont (hard resetted) and my music bar is sorted
I uninstalled the taskbar. No change.
Then I tried to get HTCVolumeControl.DLL back from ROM, no change.
I treid to install a HTCVolumeControl.DLL from the Internet, no change. Well, there was a change here. I had WM Volume control suddenly. You know, the black and white control bars at the top right corner we all remeber from WM5.
Then I gave up.

bad alignment in sense and other programs

hi everybody, i installed my mobiler (so i can control my hd2 from my pc) and since then my sense main screen 'moved up' (hard to explain..look at pics).
i can see in the bottom right the my mobiler icon..but even if i disable it and softreset..well the screen is still miss-aligned (the icon is not there anymore).
my guess is that even other programs that have this type of icon would cause the same thing..
anybody experienced this b4? any help
much appreciated
Yeah, MyMobiler shows down there but only when you have the standard wm 6.1 plugin home screen. It shouldn't appear there while sense is activated. I have it installed also and it doesn't show up. Try disabling sense and enable it back and see what happens.
yup..i already tried uninstalling..disabling and deleting reg and then restart phone and/or sense...it stays the same .. pls help...i dont wanna hard reset again...just got everything working as i wanted...
oh..and by the way, de unde ai gasit un hd2 in rom?
i had the same problem just after the install of e-Natives Showcase
i don't know if is this program to create the issue but just after i removed it the phone went back to normal.
Just a thought, but in
start - settings - all settings - today - items
is there anything more than just HTC sense ticked? Could be that it is trying to show the app, and then show the senseui which is then trying to stack.
