Dashboards dont open in ShadowDash

Post by walterclark1 »

I have a couple simple custom dashboards from a little over a year ago that I have used on my Galaxy S4 with SD (currently V1.32). These files are around 51KB.

This morning I decided to add a gauge to one. Simple enough thru TS (v2.6.14). I then exported it and copied over to the MS3 folder on my S4. SD doesnt see it. I get the little illustration of SD MS that shows up if there is no valid dash file for page 1 and/or 2.

I copied my old dash back over to the S4 and that worked fine. I noticed the new dash file is 1070KB.

Next I loaded the old 51KB dash into TS and didnt modify it, only extracted it. It is also became 1070KB. Transferred that over to the S4 and SD doesnt see it. Then I transferred the old 51KB file over and SD sees that. In each case I renamed the file to dashboard_0_landscape.dash before transferring it to the S4.

Any idea where things are going wrong for me?

I went back and loaded the updated and extracted dashboards again. This time I did 2 things differently. I renaimed them AFTER loading them onto the S4 (and renaming the originals to avoid overwriting them). And I rebooted the S4.

Now the dashboards seem to appear under SD.

SD may not have fully exited, so wasn't forced to do a full project reload. Reboot will fix that or if you exit with the back button twice it should fully close too.
