I don't know when it started, but i can definitely say it was after I unlocked and rooted the phone. I can see the articles just not the pictures in the tiles. They are grey with the article title. In setting, generic icon is shown for the news providers.
I fooled around a little in the system looking at the folder structures and tried to add a newer version of the play store to system/app. Did not work original came back and play store would not start. I reset the to factory and all was good. I later noticed BlinkFeed was not displaying pics. I have reset the phone, changed setting in BlinkFeed and tried fixing permissions. I'm lost, don't know if it was something I did.
Anybody else having similar problems?
Not sure if this applies but I screwed up my Zoe configuration last night when I moved files in an event through ES Explorer instead of through the gallery. I couldn't get things straightened out (tried restarting Zeroedit / Gallery, clearing data caches, cleaning up files in /sdcard/Android for Zoe) and just reinstalled the ROM altogether. Working again like a charm.
I would suggest not messing with any files associated with BlinkFeed through third-party apps. Don't use BlinkFeed myself so cannot say for sure.

My blinkfeed wouldn't work either after root... All you have to do is go to apps clear cache
That and redo setup blinkfeed..all mine did was keep trying to update

If you have a firewall app, such as DroidWall, you need to let HTC Sense and HTC Share through. I had that issue on my Butterfly S until I figured it out.

Their have been several reports of the widget engine crashing on some ICS ROM's in the developers forums. From what I have found out is an issue with the layout of the screen this is causing the issue. I you notice, the widgets that have a 5x size are the ones that are crashing. Lets use Jorte Calendar as an example. Install Jorte and try to load a widget, it crashes. Ok, now go into Jorte setting > widget setting, and make all the 5x widget unavailable. Problem solved. This problem does not exist in other launchers, on in the default launcher.
I would have posted this in the developers forum, but I am new to this forum.
The development area would've been the wrong place to put this. Due to the fact that that section is for dev's to post their creations and such.
As for your problem I am not sure. I couldn't open then personalize tab when I was running ICS. Usually a reboot fixed that problem though.

You must not have understood my post. The developers do not know what the problem is. I was stating that I have a clue of what the problem is.
The problem lye's in the way the launcher deals with widgets that are too big for the screen. When the launcher tries to access a widget that is too big for the screen layout (4x4), the widget engine crashes instead of ignoring the over sized widgets.
Our threads differ a little bit. I'm making a list of bad apps, while you got a potential solution. you may want to PM a dev. they can work magic
Okay. THanks
I have only experienced the widget FC on one custom ROM. I believe it had something to do with one of the apps I installed, because it worked fine until I started downloading applications from the market. I tried a few times to reflash to pin point, but I didn't have a lot of time to see if that was the main cause of the issue.
personalize problems in ICS
I finally gave up on ICS yesterday after struggling for a week with problems with personalizing screens. I tried to narrow the problem down to specific apps, but eventually concluded that it was not caused by specific apps involving widgets. Every time that I downloaded more than a half-dozen apps from the market, I would start getting the "unfortunately, personalize has stopped working" messages, preventing me from adding any further apps to home screens. I could continue adding widgets or shortcuts, but not apps. Not even rebooting helped, and I would end up having to re-flash the ROM and start all over. It seemed to depend on the number of market apps that I downloaded, not necessarily the specific app. Even apps without widgets such as quickboot would cause the crash after the first half-dozen apps were downloaded.

Joelz latest sense rom has a fix included that will eliminate this problem. It completely worked for me, and I was having it big time.
Thanks, I will check that out. You are TheMan!
Edit: actually, it was his ROM that I was using when I had all the problems. It was ICS Sense Redefined-Always Brilliant![Sense 3.6][4.0.3]. I could never get past the personalize problem to add more than a few app short cuts.
even after jolez fix im having problems on scotts rom... i had no problem on his 2.3 but when i flashed his 2.4 all hell broke lose... i cant even some apps from the market like engadget? and no i havent done any other modding except installing apps?
anyone have any ideas bc right now i only have about 20 apps installed that actually work
Same here. Lots of FC's and some apps don't work.

I had to bail on ICS after struggling mightily to resolve the personalize problem, and I was scared to death about bricking the brand new phone after fighting the mainver problem seeking a return to stock root. Luckily, I found the RezRom GB Rom that includes an automatic fix for reversion from ICS. I highly recommend it, though I quickly nandroided back to stock root. I will be going back to RezRom this weekend when I have more time to tweak it.
The FC's of Sense and personalization appears to be related to apps installed on the SD Card.
Go into settings > apps > on phone (2nd tab) and uncheck any apps that have a check mark and move them to the phone.
If you have none checked and still getting the FC's then for sure I am wrong.
^ but none of mine are on the SD card?
Getting it on cleanROM 3.0 for the first time, no apps on sd card.

Just curious how many people are having issues with stock Google apps and the stock browser after the ota update. The Gmail and maps will get stuck on a white screen as does the stock browser and the play store will just lock up on whatever screen it was currently on. Google wallet will freeze during the unlocking your device notice. These are the only ones I have found so far but I had none of these issues before the ota update. A phone restart will fix it for a period of time but I'm currently having to restart my phone 2 times a day to get the apps to work properly again.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
I also forgot to add that during the restart after the screen turns off you can will change the ring volume up and down and hear it change for 2-3 seconds before the phone actually does restart. I noticed this when I had my Bluetooth headset still connected and it was not telling me it was disconnected for at least 4-5 seconds after the screen turned off unlike before the update when it was no more than a second.

Mine does this as well, the only "fix" I have found for it is rebooting the phone. Then it works for a few days until it randomly decides to freeze again.
I was having the same problems where the browser will be a white screen and not work. I went twrp and wipe cache/dalvik cache and haven't had a problem since

After the update! The stock browser doesn't highlight the the URL address when tapped like before...Instead we have to manually delete the URL to search something else or press the little X after tapping on the URL.
Wtf!? Yeah count me in too. I just did a restart and it didn't fix problem. Gwallet still in notification bar saying initializing.

Also been having the same problem since updating, most noticable with the browser just being a white screen. Tried wiping cache & dalvik cache again, doesn't seem to help. Stock ROM with S-OFF. Surprised I haven't seen more mentions of this problem, but perhaps it's not widespread?
Well as I've learned over my time at xda updates are always catch 22's. That's why I choose to wait and read users feedback on how the latest ota is functioning. However none if this is revelant to your issues just figured I'd post it for future reference. Also have you guys tried a full wipe of your current rom? After you make a backup of your data of course to see if that will help ??

Yeah...I was having the same problem after the ota, but after a couple of reboots things started to work right.
Im having this too, is getting very annoying. Sometimes i just want to use the phone quickly for something and have to re-start the phone... I feel like breaking it against the floor.

I wound up here after searching for this error, which just started with me yesterday with the browser (stock). It just displays a white screen when I try to use it.
I've had the latest update (flashed with 1.22.651.3 odexed ROM from xHausx and firmware from Captain Throwback) about a week now and this just started happening yesterday.
Yesterday I somehow got it to work again by clearing the Internet cache and then I performed a search from the Google search bar and all was well. I was thinking at the time that it was stuck on a particular page and that this got around it. But that fix isn't working for me today, so I'm going to try to clear dalvik/cache from twrp as recommended here and see where that gets me.
It's good to know I'm not the only one though... I wonder if there's anything else more specific we all have in common since we seem to be a fairly small subset. Maybe we all flashed the Odexed update for example?
EDITED TO ADD: Appears to affect Gmail too. And possibly several other Google apps as mentioned here and in other threads. Since there was a Gmail update I did yesterday, I'm going to try to uninstall that as mentioned in this other thread I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810829

NOT helpful at all since it affects not only the stock browser but other Google apps as well.
Refer back to my original post which I updated with additional information.
I've found if I reboot and never use the stock browser I don't have the white screen problem. I set maxthon as the default and act like the stock browser doesn't exist.

I reverted back to the previous version of Gmail yesterday hoping that would fix the problem but it still happened. This morning when I clicked an email notification from my status bar, Gmail did the white screen thing and needed to be shut down manually. Just to verify that this and the browser incident were related, I tried to launch the stock browser and it too was white screen.
So those of you suggesting to install an alternate browser to get around this issue need to understand that this is a lot more widespread than the browser alone. For me, both my Gmail and Google Offers were white screens this morning upon trying to launch them so it definitely appears to affect all Google apps.
Yeah this happens to me as well. Its really bad now. Nothing fixes. It does it on all the roms with newer OTA for me. Only two roms will work for me without this problem. I have tried everything. Wiped everything, Reflashed, Checked my sd card, factory reset, you name it. It even does it on restored roms that didn't have the problem before. I don't know what to do....
A developer told me to try and manual flash boot.img through fastboot but I'm not even sure how to do that. Need to read up on it.
I have had the issue to wear when I am trying to open the browser app, it will actually freeze the entire phone until I hit the home button repeatedly in play store will not load anything until I fully restart the phone I've tried fixing for missions do a nandroid restore nothing seems to work

Hello everyone, I got the Inc4G on launch day. It's rooted, but still running everything as stock. One of the problems I've been having is that from time to time, some of my app assocations (default apps) will reset -- not ask me what I want as default (like when you install a new app or an update), but it just resets. It's happened with a few, but the most common is the "Web URLS" (which should probably be "Web URLs," now that I look at it) reseting from my choice, Dolphin Browser Mini, to the default Android browser.
Has anyone else seen this and/or have any ideas as to how to fix it?

I haven't noticed any of my presets change. I put everything to my SD card, and it stays. I don't use Dolphin, so it could be specific to that browser.
I have not seen this, either. However, my ringtones always seem to change after connecting to PC (as storage). Looking forward to root so I can put all of my custom ringtones in the system area.

Thanks guys! It hasn't happened recently, so I'm not sure what caused it. If it does start happening again, I got the idea from a different thread to disable (not uninstall or remove) the stock browser, so maybe then it won't be able to change it back to anything?
Unfortunately you cannot disable the stock browser without root.
I've had my app associations reset once already. It also happened on my old EVO 4G LTE (Sprint).

Yeah, that's not a problem. I got root as soon as it was available, luckily for me.
I can't post on the Liquid ROM page (been reading XDA for 1 1/2 years but never really post, only learn) otherwise I would ask there.
I downloaded the ROM ZIP file to my sd card. Wiped Cache and Davlik, then flashed the ROM. When it booted it "updated applications" and then opened. It seemed to have saved settings as my old wallpaper, widgets, and applications where in place on the homescreens. Did I not wipe system info or something I must have missed? Things mostly work with the rom, except I can not get mobil data to work at all. Yes I have read all the pages of the post, and realize many have issues with it. I have tried 3 sets of radios and they don't help. Currently I am running the radios from the .9 OTA which several here are using and working fine with the rom. MD5 sums check out fine.
Also Apps placed in my App Dock keep dissapearing, sometimes when I reboot, sometimes when the phone is active.
Further, it seems hard to scroll between screens, whether on home pages or in the app drawer. Maybe it is ICS (this is my first real experience with ICS), was looking for something in settings that would make scrolling easier but could not locate it.
Any help would be appreciated especially with the data..(WIFI works fine). I don't think it is the rom, my initial thoughts are why so many of my settings carried over from CM7....I have flashed many roms in the past, did I just space on a step?
guess I missed wiping system stats, thought all I saw was factory reset, I don't want to do a factory reset though correct? that would unroot...
You need to get 4ext recovery and use the wipe all except sd and then reflash the rom.

thanks, downloaded that the other day, just haven't used it yet. Will give that one a try....
Just installed and looked into 4ext and it gives me the following options:
Wipe Menu:
Stay inside...
Battery stats
Davlik
Cache
Data / factory reset
there is no option for wipe all but sd card. I have the newest version of 4ext v1.0.0.5 RC5 (not the one in testing)
Maybe try using apex launcher instead of the stock browser too. I found it to be a lot smoother than nova.

Why would my email mess up? I can't send mail from either the gmail or the email application. The gmail has a bunch of blank messages with 12/31/1969 as the date.

I don't know if it will help the email problem. You can uninstall it from the app manager just like any app. I found if I restore gmail from a backup I get the blank messages. Try just downloading it from the market.

I'm ready to go back to stock. How do I do that? Too many bugs especially since I do alot of emailing.
I'm getting pretty frustrated... my HTC One M8 is a GREAT phone, I really love it... BUT!!! I had a minor hardware issue with it and Verizon just replaced it with a 'Like New' HTC One M8 via VZ Extended Warranty. The thing is, I was going app crazy a while back and I had over 200 apps on my phone. They were very organized into folders just like I was on my home PC... true. I had apps the helped me keep it running smooth and they did fine.
When I went to do the Marshmellow update though I decided to slim-down the app count, so I used a few different apps to wipe caches, data, history, etc. I reset the phone to factory... but when it was booting up on the install it said it was optimizing 200+ apps!!! I was pretty irritated because it didn't have that from factory some why am I seeing this on a factory reset. I went into several menus and changed settings. I don't remember which ones I changed but it worked. I did the update and it now was saying at boot it was optimizing like 20 apps.
So I get the new replacement phone and have to do it all ove again but I don't remember what I did. Right out of the gate as soon as I got this phone it did the same thing. Said it was optimizing 200+ apps that weren't even on the phone. I hadn't even logged into my gmail account yet. It must be linked with my SIM card???
I don't know but I have to update this to Marshmellow now and I'd prefer to be starting with a clean slate. Anyone???
I haven't had time to search yet for this but I also am looking to root this phone (HTC One M8 Marshmellow) if anyone knows the easiest way, one-click would be great.
Thanks so much for your help!!!
