Hi,
I have updated my XZ1 C. to this new build and I have noticed that when I unlock the phone my homescreen remains "stuck", doesn't refresh itself and widgets, for example the clock widget, shows the old time when I locked the phone. If I swipe left or right to next screens all widgets and app's icons remain still and I just see to slide the background image. To interrupt this behavior I have to tap the button to launch xperia home and show all apps icons.
Does this happen to you?

All those bugs and glitches are usually caused by updating the way you did. I stopped using this feature because i had similar problems. You need to perform a clean install using newflasher. Download newflasher and the firmware through XperiFirm (its boundled with FlashTool). Back up your contacts, pictures and any data you do not want to loose as this procedure will basically make your phone brand new. Remember to delete persist.sin file from the files extracted from firmware file(.FTF file).

i don't think this is needed. Instead of flashing anything anyhow, it's usually a good idea to try factory reset first. It's simple and you can't brick your phone. If that doesn't help, then try other stuff.

I would just restart the phone first and then maybe try to wipe the cache if needed. If that fails then I guess its time for a factory reset.
I would love the clock back in it's old Oreo position.
It's awful ''they'' force us to get used to the clock on the LEFT, without the option of putting it back to the RIGHT.

First off I want to give props to outerdepth and the rest of the developers for the time and effort he has given to the development of this ROM. I just downloaded this ROM and like I normally do on a new ROM I first start by trying to make the lock screen changes. In the OP you state:
"*Note: Use personalize/lockscreen shortcuts, window will popup saying use Rosie Utility or Shortcuts Lockscreen.
To edit shortcuts, choose Rosie Utility, then edit your shortcuts and hit done. VOILA!!!
To get weather lock, choose Shortcut Lockscreen, then click the checkbox for weather and hit done. Don't edit shortcuts from this utility."
When I go to the personalize/lockscreen I do not get a popup window at all. Can you please advise if I need to wipe again? I followed your instructions and wiped everything three times plus a factory wipe including extsd. I have not gone as far as installing my apps yet so if I need to reflash let me know. I would of posted this on your thread but not enough posts.
I have the same issue. I had the previous version 2.1 installed and this featuyre worked just as he described...but I did a full wipe/userdata/factory reset and installed the 3.0 themed version yesterday and it doesn't work. When I use the personalize>lockscreen it takes me right to the edit screen where the check box for the weather is...there is no other options that I can see.
I just downloaded the ROM again and still the same issue with the lock screen. Do you have any icons on the lower bar, all that I have is the apps and the personalize the other three are blank. If I look at the screen captures that were on post 9 of OP it shows that these control something. I thought that it might of been a bad download but after numerous downloads from the first link on the OP that were not successful and then finally using the link near the end of the post but still can not get this ROM to work.
Working and easy way (at least for me on Rom I'm using) how to remove anoying system update message. This should work on every Rom version. I didn't tested. Phone need to be rooted.
It's stupid but works.
For people who need this info I'll explain how I manage to do it.
This is for people who getting update message and they don't want to update to official 4.1.2 or newer version.
-Download "System tuner" app from Google play store. (green android icon with blue monitor)
-start app and on main screen of app with a lot of icons choose "Tweaks"
-choose "Build" in upper menu list
-about at middle of list find row which saying "ro.build.version.release 4.1.1"
-press pen icon on left side of same row to edit version, just rename 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 and press OK
-reboot phone to load again system files edited.
-check for updates and you already will see, system is up to date. last checked time
easy...
-After this I think you can uninstall app if you don't need
After all you done, system won't be updated to new version but will pass system version check, may be it's not perfect solution but this works for me.
Would it work if I don't want to go 4.2 from 4.1.2 ?

So I am not sure what is causing this but after rooting my phone, I installed Xposed, G3 Tweaks, did some tweaking, rebooted fine a couple times, then I decided to see about changing the system font. Downloaded Fonter, an xposed module and chose Roboto (after downloading).
Then when I rebooted, my home screen just keeps refreshing, alternating between black and the wallpaper. I can't open anything on the home screen, not even the appdrawer.
I can open the notifications panel, and go into settings and Apps...which is where I uninstalled Xposed and Fonter, etc but on reboot - same thing.
Any ideas? Oh and I can boot in safe mode and everything's fine there.
Thanks in advance.
download exact same ROM from LG or elsewhere and install with LG flash tool 2014 etc, nothing will be lost in terms of apps(everything back to normal) as long as its the same ROM version and you select "normal flash" gl.

Thanks - this worked, although it failed to get into download mode on the first two tries.
But I still don't get it....why didn't Factory reset clear everything? When I rooted the phone, did it stay rooted even after the factory reset?
Thanks again.
Factory reset , afaik, doesn't clean up the system partition thus root and any system tweaks remain intact.
solved without reflash
I had the exact same problem on my d855......my method was more straight forward than reflashing the Rom...Google now seemed to open with no problems....did a phone search for fonter from the Google now search.....fonter shows up as an app.....open fonter and quickly hit the 3 bar menu on the left to corner and settings in the fonter app....you have to be really quick in order to open the fonter settings page before it refreshes....try using multiple fingers at once ...once in the settings page in the fonter app...choose the "restore default" option and reboot......everything should be them back to normal.....
It might take a few tries....but this is definitely easier than reflashing the Rom

Yeah I realised I could have done that but I wasn't 100% sure it was fonter since I did other tweaks and was pending a reboot.
Also I could have switched the shell to Easy Home instead of the default and that would have given me an app drawer. I would have left it like that if the flashing didn't work. Finished everything about 4 am.
An interesting sidenote....the battery life on the phone is *considerably* better, even after installing all my apps
Just received the update to Android 11. MIUI version is V12.0.1.0.RJSEUXM. If you want to update go to Settings > MIUI Version > Update settings and check receive updates early' (Note this is a beta build).

Android 11 screwed up system gesture navigation in 3rd party launchers (again). I've just returned to 3 button nav bar + edge gestures app. Now I have the best out of both worlds. Quick and easy to use nav bar and also swipe gestures.

Thanks, I had tried setting the stock launcher to check if this was the case to no avail. Evidently I hadn't opened the home screen to let it load. Now have it working with no custom launcher and very slow animations... Hope MIUI can fix this soon.

I find stock animations very slow too (be it "clean" Android or MIUI) - enabling 0.5x speed for all animations in developer settings feels much snappier.
Btw. it's not a fault of MIUI, this time Google is to blame.

Yeah I've since found other complaints of broken gesture navigation with third party launchers on Samsung devices. I guess hopefully it's either patched in upstream Android by Google or Xiaomi patch it within MIUI.
Unfortunately, the MIUI stock launcher and Recents doesn't respect the 0.5% animation speed setting!
I've also found that you can no longer change individual app dark mode settings. The app list is just empty, still respects any that were setup prior to the update though.

I can't comment on stock launcher as I'm on Nova launcher, but recents screen seems to be snappy. I don't use it that often though, so maybe it's with 100% speed.
I can still change individual apps in dark mode - but only when the dark mode is active. It takes about 3 seconds for list of all apps to appear though, on the first sight the feature seems missing/broken.
The two main things I've noticed is the notification led is now bright enough to actually be useful.
And on poco launcher 2 if you keep pressing back to exit from an app or push the home button sometimes you get the apps icon appearing at the top left of the screen for a few seconds for some reason.
But if you switch to system launcher and back again this bug goes away until you restart the device.

Are you sure that you are flashing the same version of ROM as you have currently installed? You can use recovery update only from the very same region - Global or EU or China or Russia or another.

You might find the culprit with logcat - enable usb debugging, start "adb logcat" on the PC with the phone connected and run the update again. There should be an error message displayed with more details.

Hello, for some reason it is working now. It is currently updating. How can I later update from beta to stable, or is it already stable?
And it really messed things up. Device not seeing other launchers, and the native launcher is 'stuck' - any modifications I make (icons/screens/widgets/positioning etc) resets after every reboot.
Cleared cache, but no luck.
Help.
And notifications don't show on the top (only when I pull down, and not all)

I made an account just to post here cause I'm having the exact same issues. I've had so many issues and I thought things would be better, but this update completely ruined our phones. Not only is the phone even more dysfunctional now, it's uglier too. The cosmetic updates are gross, the new emojis are gross, AND they added software that's unremovable.

If you guys read my mega thread you will see there is a fix for the launcher customizing resetting there in tge fidst post under the change log.
But i also have a list of bugs i will forward to Nubia once the community have found them all.
For alternate launchers, be sure to set it in the App Info settings > 3-dot menu > default apps > Desktop.

Try doing an in place update of the full rom zip, then clear cache and data of launcher.
During beta test clearing data fixed it for all testers. So its possible the OTA had an additional bug for you
Can confirm on the update the method you described doesn't work (on mine the alternate launchers don't show up in the defaults list for desktop).
@Nyanwiz - I ended up flashing the latest Q stock rom, but would be willing to try your suggestion. Can I just flash the full zip of new R build over it without losing data? And if it doesn't work, can I flash the 10 back?
Or do I need to do through the front end system updates UI?

By any chance do you remember which rom those testers used for their testing? The fix hasn't worked for me, and I was running the US rom
Hi, I also had the same issue where any app icon when dragged onto a home screen would disappear. Tried to force stop the native launcher and restart the device. It worked after a few goes and my old home screens were restored and i am able to add apps onto my home screen. Haven't tried any custom launcher like nova yet. I'm guessing its a bug I was about to submit a ticket before it "fixed itself".
