[Q] ROM request to devs who might care

I have tried a bunch of ROMs and have liked many features of each of these but now I know what I really want and would be eager to try a ROM that might be the closest in terms of fulfilling my needs below:
1. A combined mail inbox & a combined mail widget. This is extremely critical and is the main reason I stick with the Incdoes sense despite other issues (camera, force closes) and I have not seen it in others except Cyanogen (but the limitation was it showed only 30days email, not all)...
A gmail widget too - strange that there is none currently from android. Very odd. In fact, why cant I just have 1 combined inbox and 1 combined widget for all my 5 email accounts (2 gmail accounts, 1 exchange, 1 yahoo, 1 hotmail)?
2. The bottom launcher row (think they call it ROSIE) should be 5 icons - 3 is just a waste of space, I want buttons for:
a. Phone
b. App drawer
c. SMS/MMS app
d. Email
e. Contacts
I have seen these floating around but not sure which 5 icon rows are compatible with which ROMs...
3. Functioning camera (ID has not been able to solve this yet, fingers crossed)
4. Stability (tired of phone rebooting once in a while)
5. Very good battery life (surprised that my jailbroken and heavily modded iphone 4 has much better battery life than the droid inc - its not even close)
6. A theme such as rEVOlution (love this theme)
7. Fast as a bat out of hell (but obviously)
8. Smooth, minimal lags, no jerkiness (Obviously)
9. Reboot options built into power button press (recovery, etc)
10. HTC or Google News kind of app & widget with google reader sync (hated newsrob and other market google reader apps and love the news widget in the desire hd port - another reason I cant move away from it).
11. Friendstream or similar widget for facebook and twitter - many people dont seem to like the htc widget but its perfect for me.
12. At least 7 home screens - cyanogen had just 5 - not enough for me... And why do all the ROMs stop at 7?
13. App organization within the App drawer. Sorry google, but alphabetic only sorting is not good enough. Can anybody help with this?
People, please feel free to add your list of desired features and hopefully the ROM devs will add the features many of us request.

I like your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter. No seriously though. I am creating a ROM. I'm new at this so it might take a while though. It will be called conical. I have thread going about it.

hahahaha. i know it was long. i know i know. just could not stop myself once i started. will def check out your ROM.

2 - Have you tried Launcher pro? You can customize the dock icons to whatever you want.
5 - Mostly life is related to your kernel. Try KK#5 w/ setCPU
I've been using uncommon sense for a few days and it seems to hit on quite a few of your point.
Good luck!

Sounds like you need Virtuous 3.0.1 Rom with the Custom Kernel and Launcher Pro (Paid version). This will address these items
#1 - Good luck with this. I like mine seperated but suspect this will be an App thing not a ROM thing...
#2 - Launcher Pro has up to 15 customizable dock buttons (three 5 button docks)
#3 - Camera works great (720p video too)
#4 - The custom kernel is stable and the ROM is only lightly modded so less to crash
#5 - I use SetCPU and underclock my phone to 806Mhz and my phone is still smooth and has much better battery life (Also use screen off profile to set 384Mhz)
#6 - Revolution Theme is an option through Rom Manager for this ROM. Easily flashed.
#7 - Battery Life and Speed will be a trade off. I find the ROM smooth and nice to use.
#8 - See #7 (Sort of redundant)
#9 - Easily done with a mod that works with Virtuous. I have it on mine and was as simple as a flash through ROM manager. Also smooth sense Icons mod works so I have % on my battery icon.
#10 - Good luck with this. This isn't a ROM thing it is an App developer thing and is a serious hole in the Reader Market. I totally agree with you and currently just don't read my Google Reader content on my Phone.
#11 - Launcher Pro has the Twitter, Facebook and Friends widgets you want (Paid for version only but TOTALLY WORTH IT).
#12 - Launcher Pro has up to 7 screens (Not my thing I only use 4 but you can pick any number you want)
#13 - Check out App Folders in the Market. You can use it with Launcher Pro and map the App Drawer to App Folders and then customize away. Want a Games folder in your app drawer? Go for it...
I've used Uncommon Sense and Virtuous a lot and am back on Virtuous 3.0.1 with the custom kernel and Launcher Pro and I am getting batter battery life than I had but as mentioned I've underclocked my phone (except when plugged in) and have the screen off profile max speed at 384.
Just tinker a bit more and you'll get everything you want with what is out there except combined mailboxes and a google reader app worth a crap. Good luck!

Thanks guys. Appreciate still the help! Only thing I can't figure out is how to use app folders with the app drawer. Need some help please. Rest all made sense and have been making those work.

1) Long hold the app drawer icon in the dock (For Launcher Pro)
2) Click Shortcuts
3) Click Applications Folder
4) Click All Applications Radio Dot
5) Click Menu
6) Click OK
Then you can click the app drawer icon to open app folders as all applications and then start making folders inside the new app drawer presentation.

Thanks! Will try right away.

Not choice "Just Once" "Always" to set default app Lollipop 5.0

Not choice "Just Once" "Always" to set default app Lollipop 5.0
Hello to all, I have 6 days trying to find out why I can't make default applications in my note 3 SM-N900T Lollipop 5.0 API 21 Rooted Xposed Frmkw 89
The apps show up, but the "just once" and "always" are like off.. i touch it and nothing happen.. i got Better Open With, but still showing all the apps to pick one, means that it did not set any to default...
For example, if i choose Chrome to open a URL, ok,---- but when i finish, and another URL to open in Chrome --don't let me do nothing,, i have to pick another app, them close, and open de URL and them pick again Chrome ( hope you fallow me )...
Now I'm trying to open a video, Open with VLC ---- "just once" "always" .... touched and nothing.
Use a different application ... "Video Player" and works. but not the VLC i want for first choice.
I hope some one could tell me what is going on..what is blocking my decision of a default app of my choice... because i think everything was Ok before..
if there are some module xposed... or edit inside.. or something...
I did all i read in many google web pages.....
In the setting-- Default Applications:
Home: Nova Launcher
Messages: Messages
CLEAR DEFAULTS
Nova Launcher
Nothing else....
Hope to have some suggestions from you... and thanks in advance.
Herm.

Hello... Any help..?? Suggestions ??
Thanks H.

If this does not happen with a stock ROM too, then you know it is a software issue as a result of rooting, Nova launcher, etc.

Applocker not working android 9

Just asking if someone can help me or knows something about future patches.
To reproduce the problem:
Settings - utilities - app locker - add some app
Now open that app, you will be asked to enter password or fingerprint
Now close the app and open recent apps, the app is visible, and also you can see an app called applocker
Before Android 9 the locked app would get his content hidden, now this don't work
Also, now recent apps is horizontal and not vertical, seems garbage like iPhone, 3 hours to find an app
Installing a different launcher solves the problem for recent apps.
Installing old oneplus launcher will crash almost all times.
I see that instead of adding new features, oneplus and Google is removing some useful ones and putting copied garbage from iPhone that no one asked about
Can't believe that in 2018/2019 i still need to search for custom rom to get BASIC features for better productivity

Nova Launcher, Google Keep and other widgets not working properly

Hi, I got a problem with my Redmi phone.
I set up Nova Launcher and I am using several widgets. Some of them work without any problems, but Google Keep Widget and Event Flow Calendar widget gets deleted after one or two days. So basically, every second day, I need to set up it again. That's annoying.
Does anybody know this issue and has a solution? Should I go back to the standard launcher?
Cheers,
Sven

I've got the same issue -- was using Nova - using Evie now, and have the same issue...

Well, good to know. But I don't understand why this is happening. Makes no sense to me. Did you try with the original / standard launcher?

Rights problem, add Android background capabilities to your app

Update: I changed back to standard/system launcher, added the widgets and they disappeared after 2 days. One of the widgets was Google Keep, the other one event flow calendar and Google Calendar. When I started Google Keep from the app, the widget came back. I just had to choose my Google Account again. But it works.
Is there anybody out there who found a solution for this issue? Looks like it loses the connection to the app or something.

Hello i had the same problem. Because i have install almost my apk direct from my backup (file explorer) and many widget (agenda business, digical, aquamail dont working). I have reinstall from Play Store and problem solved... And Nova Launcher working now... (just problem accessibility if you use gesture).

The thing is that I did not backup anything. I did a fresh install from Google Play. Nova launcher actually worked, also the gesture. But not the widgets. But as I said, they disappear even with the system launcher.
So it is not related to Nova Launcher I guess.
I did not find a nice solution so far. Just the one I described, but it is rather a compromise instead of a solution. Damn Xiaomi

tried the standard launcher and from what I can tell, it didn't affect the widgets. which sucks as the standard launcher is weak sauce.

I gave the app of the widgets that didn't work in Nova Launcher all permissions, and they worked after that.

Question Widgets causing pixel launcher to crash

Since updating to the June build the pixel launcher crashes every time I press on a widget. I've tried deleting the widget and readding it and clearing the cache in pixel launcher. I haven't cleared data yet because I think that will lose all of my home screen setup. Is anyone else experiencing this or know how to fix it?

Updates/upgrades can and do break things.
Try -if- possible updating the app.
No easy fix if the app is no longer compatible with the firmware though and hasn't been updated.
Try clearing the data, reinstalling said apps.
Or simply don't use them for the time being.
If another app like Google play Services is used by the problem widget, dependencies, clear it's data.
A factory reset may solve the issue but don't count on it...
My stock N10+ firmware hasn't been updated in 2.5 years, current load is 2 yo, still fast, stable and fulfilling its mission. Security is not an issue. However resolving app updates issues has cost me more wasted time then anything else. All were resolved without a factory reset... easier said than done
Google makes changes for the sake of change alone. All too often not in the end users best interests. Just because you're busy doesn't mean your productive... Gookill.

I just temporarily switched from Nova Launcher Prime to the Pixel Launcher on the June update and clicked on the At a Glance widget, and it loaded the weather fine.
I hope you find an easy solution.
Using any Magisk Modules? If so, disable them, reboot, and try again.

I'll give that a shot. Widgets that open an app work fine but the ones that do an action like pressing play on my Audible widget cause it to crash. I only have some basic magisk modules but I will try disabling them and see if it helps. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm not rooted or nothing and just applied clock wiget to pixel launcher nland opened it worked fine for me no crash must be a magic mod that's efecting you

I confirm here that this is indeed a problem with the new June security patch.
Here are some widgets I found that have this problem (crashes Pixel Launcher when tapped)
1. Galaxy Buds Manager
2. Habits (blue reload icon) with it's checkbox widget (you must create a habit and select it to reproduce)
3. All Google Fit widgets
In fact most widgets I tried worked, but there are those which crashes every single time you tap on it.
Not sure what is going on.

Maybe try the Habit app too, I have confirmed with another person and it does crash.
Have to create a habit and then add it to the home screen.

You have to create one first in the app and then add the widget

Ok ill give it another go

As can see no crash for me

Uh couldn't upload so done this way no crash for me

I can open the app with any widget but it crashes when the widget has to do something. For example my audible widget will open the app but clicking the play button causes a crash. The same thing happens with Google calendar and my Authy widget.

Sometimes or even often if a simple copy/paste of an image to a post doesn't work, you can download your image to a file, click the Insert image button in the post, click where it says click here, add the image as an attachment, then from the successful attachment you can choose whether to insert the full image or a thumbnail into the post. This works for me almost all the time that pasting directly into the post fails.
So, sounding like the widget problem is with the Pixel Launcher.

Thank you I was using mobile and didn't see the insert or attach file

hi, any solution for this? other than installing other launcher
this is the crash log that i received
