Has anyone else been having trouble with the HTC widgets? As a history major, I was always a fan of Today in History, but it hasn't been loading on my home screen for months on Warm 2.2 when rooted or unrooted stock, sometimes wouldn't even download on either as well. Now I just upgraded to warm 2.3 and can't even find it.
Some help would be wonderfully appreciated.

Hi everyone,
I would like to hear what changes you noticed if you have made the transition from Liberated R12 to Liberated FroYo FR007.
I don't know anything about kernels, setcpu or stuffs like that — I'm just a regular fella who love coffee and just made a proper installation of FR007 2 days ago and reverted back to R12 today because:
1. I noticed that its' performance is a tad slower (I think).
2. eBuddy kept crashing, mostly after the phone goes to sleep.
3. Wi-fi network stopped after phone goes to sleep (but it was already noted in the thread to download FR007).
4. Responsiveness isn't quite as nimble (ie. swiping between homescreens, launching apps, connecting to networks, etc).
5. It hangs quite a bit
While it may have some drawbacks, there are also some nice things that came with the FR007 ROM, most noticeably:
1. Better UI interfaces
2. More options in some features/settings
3. Cooler OS name (what's cooler than Frozen Yogurt?)
I bet there are much more powerful stuff and greater potential in the FR series that most regular users like myself won't understand, and that this is just the precursor/preview to a stable version. However at the moment it's R12 vs FR007.
So at the moment I'm going to stick with R12 and patiently wait for future releases of the FR series.
What are your observations? Thanks for sharing!
Each to their own! I'm using FR007 on my Aria which was purchased in USA and the only problem I have is sometimes the Weather Widget sometimes hangs. That's all.
I, too, am running FR007, however my ebuddy hasnt crashed at all for me. I do notice a little bit of lag swiping homescreens but having a LWP on would affect that for sure.
i havent noticed a hang unless im tryin to multitask several apps around.
Those are pretty small issues for me for my previous phone was the Hero CDMA.. and this is like a million times better.
I agree with most of what you're saying. I've been using FR007 for a while now, but I feel like it's a little slower than R012 was. I turned off the LWP and I'm using LauncherPro, but it skips and jerks a little more than R012 did on homescreens.
Still debating whether I want to switch back, I just don't want to not have Froyo on there. I do like the apps and features that Froyo provides (Gmail upgrade, etc)

WiFi sleep policy may be defaulted to "After 15 minutes". Look into Menu>Settings>Wireless & networks>Wi-Fi settings>Menu>Advanced>WiFi sleep policy. That is one buried setting!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts everyone.
I am still running on R12 and everything is running smooth as a babys' butt! Gonna keep rocking with this at the moment.

I believe that Liberated FRxx ROM is waiting for HTC to release the 2.6.32 Froyo kernel source for the Aria/Gratia to see how to fix the trackball wake issue.
The trackball wake is working in CM 6.1 RC2.
Hello,
I have a strange problem with my HTC Hero GSM, no SIM lock running either stock 2.1 with latest OTA, or rooted in VillainRom 12.
When I use my phone the touchscreen randomly becomes totally unresponsive at all or it marks things on the bottom when I press the screen in the upper half. This is very frustrating when you want to write messages or just want to navigate through webpages or a menu. When they keyboard is active it starts warping between letters and I have to turn off the screen and turn it on again in order to be able to continue writing on it. It works for a random amount of time and then starts acting on its own again.
During surfing I've also noticed that it randomly started to pinch-to-zoom in and out when trying to scroll with my finger up and down. It also breaks the scrolling inside menus and kinda lets the slide movement getting stuck and bouncing back at random spots.
All in all it's totally frustrating, because I treat my phones really good and don't throw em around or abuse em in any other way. My warranty is also already over that's why I tried to root my phone to find out if this still persists in other roms.
I rooted my phone with UniversalAndroot.apk and used recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img in order to be able to flash custom roms.
I have also tried FroydVillain 1.6.1, Floyo 1.1.9. and Froyo 2.2 and while running these roms I had no problems at all with my screen being unresponsive or not reacting at all.
All those roms are really very very nice and I'd also like to thank the developers for their great job. I was astonished what my Hero can do and how much it still rocks. But I miss HTC Sense, because I'm used to it for more than a year now and I just don't want to work without it. I know it's not perfectly coded and costs some performance, but to my knowledge there ain't anything on the market that comes close to the fancy widgets and addons.
I would really highly appreciate if you have any idea what I could do in order to get a 2.1 rom with HTC Sense up and running properly.
I don't want to buy a new phone yet, because I want to wait for the new Nexus S. Yeah I know it will not have HTC Sense, but I don't want to wait for any update for more than a year again.
Thanks in advance for your kind help and assistance in this matter.
Cheers!
So today while in class at college, my phone was acting very funky. I noticed that touch screen response was going crazy (Even the capacitive buttons were freaking out). Pushing on the screen would type randomly, bring the notification bar down, etc. Pushing on the capacitive buttons would usually do nothing, vibrate, or do the exact opposite it is suppose to do. I can usually alleviate the issue by turning the screen off and turning it back on, but it will only be responsive for a very short time.
So, I was thinking there was something wrong with my install of the CM 6.1.1 ROM, so I flashed the Liberated Aria FR008 ROM and... it does the same. So then I load the CM 7 (18 nightly) and it seems fine with it happening every now and then, but I don't want to use CM7 (Albeit great, it's sluggish and isn't up to what I want to use as my daily driver).
I've treated my Aria with care ever since I got it after my transfer from Alltel. I'm usually able to fix my own problems, but this one has me stumped. Any ideas as to why it's freaking out?
CM7 is now up to nightly 39 and there was a big improvement in speed/performance from 34 and later.
I have 34 loaded right now (Just found it in my Dropbox folder); however, the touch screen is still very sensitive.
I've been having very similar problems with my Aria recently; unresponsive, misreads where my finger is, Swype goes nuts, but a quick lock/unlock will correct it for a little while. I thought it was just that my cracked screen was finally giving up. Now I'm downloading CM7 build 39 to see if it's something else.
EDIT: The CM7 build didn't help my problem. I'm upgrading to an Inpsire 4G tomorrow, but I might try a few more things first or while I'm rooting it.
So I found my backup of the stock ROM and flashed it back on there. Still getting the same issue.
I upgraded the stock ROM to the "latest" AT&T version and I'm taking it into AT&T tomorrow.
perhaps its an isolated defect on your phone. hopefully your hardware is still under warranty, but alas we already flashed. maybe you can get a technician to look at it.
Took it into the store and the guy said it's "shot". I'll be able to replace it under warranty.
I should be fine. I'm still confused about how the touch screen became unresponsive, and like I said... I'm usually able to figure this stuff out (Going to college for computer engineering).
I have been hoping that this would be corrected once the OTA dropped, but that is not the case. Also, I have come across people having this issue with the Asus Transformer, however, it seems that they had a bad piece of hardware. I doubt that is the case with my Epic, as the error only occurs on Gingerbread roms (including CM7).
On the left side of my screen, in either portrait or landscape orientation, that will be unresponsive for what seems to be a random period of time, or until I turn the screen off and on again. It is in the left-center of the screen, all the way to the S key on a soft keyboard, down to Z, and up past the text entry field.
Has anyone else experienced this, or have any recommendations on correcting this?
I have experience that exact same issue on both ACS ICS Rom and ERA RC1 rom. I'm currently on ERA rom and switch backed to the Android keyboard because it seems like the Swype keyboard was giving me more issues. Hopefully someone looks into this because I really like the swype keyboard better.
I have experienced this on Froyo roms as well. Mine has always been down the center of my screen. That really sucks since most notifications are in the center. When I upgraded to Gingerbread this got much worse! I filed an insurance claim with best buy yesterday for some physical damage on the phone, so i am hoping my new epic doesn't have this issue.
oh and on GB, my phone does this on stock without root. it is maddening i tell ya lol.
So was it deemed a hardware problem?
I haven't had this problem and i've been running Cyanogen on it for a while, my girlfriend is running stock and hasn't mentioned anything like that to me.Revert to stock and do an OTA to the stock gingerbread build and see if it still happens.
I just got my update to ICS 4.04 and it's made my xoom worse! Things have got really laggy, it sometimes freezes when selecting things and typing has become a nightmare again! Has anyone else experienced any problems :-(
Iam a bit annoyed now, might just go and root.

Well its just gone from bad to worse...my xoom went to sleep and when I tried to wake it up it would not come back on. I had to do a soft boot but now its stuck on the Motorola screen. I have tried to go into android recovery and do a factory restore but it comes up with an error
I am really stuck on what to do next, can somebody help please?
Thanks
Hmmm mine went to 4.0.4 and I was thinking the opposite! it seem alot smoother and faster
Mines seems to run slow too after the OTA, but i'm not sure if that's the tTorrent app, when it's running it makes the xoom lag out like crazy, when its off everything runs fine.

You could go into Developer settings and switch off animation or set to .5. That should help with lag. I never use live wallpaper either. A big download may also make it lag .
Well the lag didn't last long because I actually had a complete failure after installing 4.0.4. My Xoom went to sleep and would not wake up, had to do a soft reboot and then could not get passed the motorola boot screen, was stuck on it for hours! Tried to go into recovery to wipe and reset but that would not work either. Tried to push a rom image from my pc but then my xoom decided that it didn't want to be detected by my pc anymore so it looked like my xoom was bricked :-(
Luckily I had some help from some great people over at xoom forums who helped me to get it back up and working by using RSD Lite and a stock Rom SBF file.
I now have a working xoom updated to 4.0.4 with no problems at all
Not sure but I think it may have been a freak accident that just happened to me.... I just hope it doesn't happen to anyone else

Mine has gotten really bad with scrolling lately...
Seems that I can only scroll either up or down (or both) for no more than a couple seconds. Ive been able to move my finger up and down on a scroll area and it only lasts a couple seconds and seems to "lose" my finger press even though my finger never left the screen or the area. I have to wait a couple seconds before I can scroll again or else it doesnt recognize the finger press.
Sometimes I think the lags just android its never constantly smooth. You'd think dual core would be as smooth as butter but it really makes no difference. Still waiting for Google to fix it. I've had months of smoothness then the odd time something slows it down
I agree, 4.03 was great with no lag issues then nightly 90 had some lag again with scroll issues, so far on #91 I'm not having any issues. I had the biggest problem when I was trying the OC @1600, I slowed it back to 1408 interactive and all is smooth as glass:thumbup:
