Hi,
I use the magazine unlock screen (stock bazzar theme), and the all the buttons are grey, can't be tapped, except start, covers and settings, but the Start/Pause button does nothing. I'd like to pause it from time to time because there are some really beauty pics, and btw just wondering why doesn't it work? It used to when I bought the phone, I think changed some options or dunno.
Then I did a factory reset, but nothing changed, still bugged, now I'm out of ideas....

OK, so I successfully installed the ROM. It works fine and all until I actually use openscript on the terminal. For example, I wanted to change CPU frequency. I changed it, quit the terminal, and checked the frequency in system information. It was successful. But After about a minute my screen suddenly locked and here is the current situation. The locking screen works fine (I had the pattern lock), I can even open emergency calls. But when I unlock it, the only thing I see is the notification bar (which works btw, clock, wifi , all the icons are there, I can slide it down and up and so on). Everything else is just black. The buttons work - I can quit the notification tab buy clicking back or home or something like that. But I dont see my home screen, menu, buttons - nothing. I can lock it again, and it works fine again in the lock screen but afterwards same black screen again. Reboot does not work.
So I reinstalled the rom. Immediately after installing changed the frequency and waited for a bit. Everything was fine. I installed all the crap I usually have and kept using the phone. But the next day, I got annoyed by the music player and decided to change it again via the openscript. Same thing happened. And this is where I am stuck right now (actually this is already the third time I have this problem in 3 days and it's my third reinstall of the rom, but the first one also happened after using openscript to change frequency.)
So is there a way to fix this without reinstalling the rom again, cause I've customized the **** out of it and I don't wanna do it again. If no, how can I prevent this in the future?
P.S. If this helps, when rebooting, I hear the sound before the android splash screen which is sometimes skipped and sometimes shown for an unusually short time.
P.P.S. Also, I have the apps2sd flashed.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Got same problem
Hi,
Even I got same problem when I tried to change boot animation. Just blank screen.
But i realised it is due to, launcher app is not initiated. So tried a trick which worked indeed
Trick is when u are in a blank screen, click "HOME" button which will pop u up the list of launchers u have. Click One of them though they r not visible
Voilaa!!! Your screen is back

I've been experiencing for some time now some random freezes when trying to face-unlock the phone. When pushing the power button to wake the phone, it displays the unlock screen but the box in the screen where your face (or whatever the front camera catches) blacks out, while the rest of the screen is normal (I can see the clock, the notification bar and the emergency call), also the leds for back and menu light up. And the phone justs stays like that, all the leds lighted up and the screen on. The home button doesn't work and the power button only works if I hold it down (it powers down / restarts the phone).
This has happened to my phone from some time ago, its purely random and it always happens when I try to unlock the phone. I haven't had any issues while using the phone nor strange bootloops or sudden reboots. I'm currently on stock XXEMB5 with Speedmod Kernel k2-13 and some apps removed, mainly yahoo widgets and some Samsung apps (I think I just removed all the hubs: game hub, social hub, etc...).
I red the bad eMMs symptoms, but it doesn't seem to be the same. If I had to guess, I would say its something with the camera, but right now I don't know for sure... Anyone has any idea where could be the problem?
Favourite culprit would be a non-standard kernel, wipe the phone and return to fully stock to test.
Your collection of mods and custom changes to rom are probably unique, if it doesn't freeze when stock then add changes one at a time until it happens again.
Today I got my phone in. I was on the first set up page and it wouldn't respond to any of my touches. The buttons would glow like I was touching them but it wouldn't type or input. I soft reset it. It worked when I used assist touch. I hard reset it, wiped cache and factory reset. It fixed and I installed all my apps and when I plugged it into the charger it stopped working again. I can open the camera by double pressing the home button to unlock my phone but i can't open anything. It will glow like I'm pressing it but it won't open. I can pull down my notifications bar but none of my toggles or setting icon will work, again, they will glow just not open. I came back to my room and randomly it was working again, after 5 mins it stopped again.
Thank you for your attention.

I don't know if this is the cause/solution to your problem, but I know S Voice can cause lag issues. By default, double pressing the home button (when device is unlocked) opens the S Voice. Frankly, it's redundant and pointless, as it's a mediocre attempt at Google Now. Open it, then go into the settings, and disable it. It causes lag because it's waiting to see if you're going to press it again or not.
But if that doesn't fix it, and it's doing that stuff before you've even set it up, I'd tend to think you've got a faulty unit. The capacitive buttons are part of the screen/digitizer, so maybe you've got a bum one.
I think this is a bug – but it may be a stupid question on my part. Apologies if so. I'm primarily an iOS user on mobile, and the Gemini (which I'm loving so far…) is my first serious experience of Android.
OK, so I was playing with customisation options for my home screen, and although I actually really like the default dark blue starfield background that comes preset on the machine, I decided to swap it for an 'early morning sky' photo that I typically use on all my mobile devices. (It's a photo I took myself years ago, and works really well as a backdrop.)
After touching 'Set wallpaper', I elected to set my new background for both home screen AND lock screen. Fine; that worked OK and looks good. But I subsequently changed my mind and wished I'd stuck with the standard starfield for the lock screen. So I went back to the wallpaper options to change the lock screen only.
At this point I discovered the problem/bug. The thumbnail of the starfield picture is still there to be selected, and if I touch it, it covers the screen like it did before, so everything appears OK. However, when I click on 'Set wallpaper' and choose the option, regardless of what I choose (home screen, lock screen or both), there's a pause and then the starfield vanishes, leaving me with a completely black background. I can set the background image to any new photo that I supply myself without problems, but any attempt to reapply the original starfield graphic fails, which is rather a shame.
Can anyone tell me where I can locate the starfield graphic on the system? I've tried browsing the file system (with hidden files visible) but haven't found it. Or can anyone perhaps supply the file so that I can copy it back to the device if perhaps it only now exists in a cache or some such problem? I'd really like to get the image back.
Thank for any help.

Can confirm I have the same issue after re-flashing with the latest stock Android. Explains why I've still got a black screen!
+1 , same thing seen (or not seen if you prefer lol)

I believe this is a bug. I got around this by a long winded method. I selected the "star field" thumbnail so it covers the screen. At this point I took a screen shot by pressing Fn + R and then you can go to your gallery app, select the screen shot image, crop anything you don't want such as the bar at the top and then set the edited screen shot as your background. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the suggestion. That's a good workaround.
Hello there,
I own a Pixel 5 and I want to replace or get rid of the wallpaper during the first sim/pattern phase.
When you restart the phone the first thing you see is the spinning Google logo. That's fine the way it is.
Now the next thing you see is the unlock sim card dialogue. During that phase, till you entered your pattern or used your fingerprint the first time, there's some ugly pinkish default background picture. It has nothing to do with the set wallpaper/theme you've chosen for your desktop or lock screen. In fact, I can't even find that picture on the pre-installed themes and wallpapers that come with the phone.
Now I know, you don't restart your phone that often. But it's ugly and still bothers me. I would even prefer a solid black background at the phase. Is it possible? Thanks in advance.
