[Q] Problem Loading Widgets on Rooted Stock

---

I am running the stock official GB Rom for my Atrix model. It is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked.

Quite after every reboot it happens that all the widgets fail to load and the message "Problem loading widget" is displayed.
This happens both with ADW Launcher EX and Go Launcher EX.

I tried to repair the permissions from the Recovery. It did not fix the problem.

Any suggestions, please?

Are you using a ROM?

I gave up running Faux kernels because of this problem. I could not find a way around it (fix permissions and certain re-unlock steps work for some people). What kernel are you running?

I wish there was a way around it for me. Between widget problems and webtop status bar issues I have not found a kernel that would work other than the stock one.

I forgot that I am using faux kernel,too! Can this really be the problem?

Yes, sir...if you flash the stock kernel the widget problems should go away. Some people have the widget problem and some don't. It goes away for some and it doesn't for others. I tried everything. Rom manager fix permissions, etc. Every time I used a Faux kernel my widget problems came back. Sometimes immediately, sometimes a few days later. I have never seen the "problem loading widget" error message on the stock kernel. Not ever....

Use ROM Manager to fix permissions (fixes issue in most cases). This is a very old problem. Simple search would have answered your question.

Besides repairing the permissions from the recovery, I also tried to fix them with Rom Manager, too.

Unfortunately, it did not fix the problem.

Update: it seems so much strange that a kernel could cause such problems. I read somewhere that the "problem loading widget" message usually appears when the widget is not able to load some resources. It smells like a permissions problem, of course.

Update 2: I also am no more able to fix permissions through rom manager, it gives me a generic error

Sorry for the bump but after reading some replies, I understand that I have not made myself clear.

Problem:

• After a Reboot, the widgets display a "Error loading widget" message

Contexts:

• Stock ROM, rooted and unlocked, Faux Kernel, ADW Launcher EX, Go Launcher EX
• NottachTrix 1.2.2, stock kernel + ram fix, ADW Launcher EX, Go Launcher EX

Tried Solutions:

• Fix permissions from Recovery
• Fix permissions from Rom Manager

I used to get this exact same thing happening. Fix Permissions in CWM for some reason isn't as good as doing it from ROM Manager, then rebooting. This always worked for me, and it was the only semi-perma solution which ever surfaced as far as I know, other than going back to a stock kernel. I too use ADW-EX.

I (sort of) solved it: it was probably caused by Titanium Backup.
Even if the applications were not on the SD-card, there was something wrong with them (permissions, I guess) and the permissions utilities were not able to fix them.
Therefore, I re-installed the ROM and tried to install the applications from the Market instead of restoring them from TBA. Everything works now.

Thank you all for the suggestions, in any case!
