Exclamation Sense 3.6 Personalization Force Close Thread

I made this thread for those who continue to get an FC on Personalization when they try to add widgets, and even apps, on ICS 4.0.3/Sense 3.6 Roms such as:

Ineffabilis-Deus
Sense Redefined
Simplistic RC
Nils' ICS/Sense 3.6

Titanium Backup isn't causing it. These culprit apps causing it WILL STILL give an FC when one installs it from the market (tried it myself). So this thread is to list the individual apps causing this to happen, so these topics on the developer forum don't constantly get derailed. I'll try to keep the list updated daily, taking off apps that have been updated and confirmed working, and adding apps, with 2 separate confirmations. It will need a little assistance though, from everyone getting an FC. You will need to find the apps.

Here's the list of the culprit apps (so far):
Extended Controls
Beautiful Widgets
Circle Battery Widget

Note to the Mods: If there is any rule I'm breaking by making this thread, please PM me immediately. I'm only here to help, and I'll gladly make any fixes needed to keep this thread here, and if it needs removed, then so be it. I'm still a bit of a n00b to this, so I give my sincerest apologies now.

Note to everyone else: I'll need your help

Here is whats causing the problem...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...9#post22766589

"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."

You can add any widget app that has a larger layout that 4x4. Sense does not know what to do, so it just freaks out and crashes.

I havent had a problem with beautiful widgets at all on any of the roms.
The one that keeps giving me Personalization FC's is circle battery widget.

I believe you may have a good idea. This thread is solely to list the apps that are causing an FC to happen, so everyone can know what not to install, for now, of course. You may want to PM a dev to see what they might be able to do to fix the roms to accomodate the widgets without an FC. I had emailed a developer for Extended Controls (max 4X1) because it was causing it for me. Their latest update had ICS support, but not Sense 3.6, and they replied to me saying that they didn't have a Sense 3.6 handset to work on to fix the problem (yet).

I saw 2 different confirmations on sense redefined for beautiful widgets.
I'll need another confirmation to remove beautiful, and to add circle battery, as stated in the OP, unless circle battery is free, then I'll try it myself.
...and I thank you for taking the effort to find another app that is causing the FC. Greatly appreciated

Edit: tried the app you mentioned. I'll add it to the list. thank you
