MovieBox is just a black screen for me also, but if i touch anywhere on the screen it says it is:

Preparing 21 Jump Street

Then after about 2 min it says it can not play the video and locks up. If i try to back out of the app, it will pop up another box that says:

MovieBox Auto-Play

Bookmark 21 Jump Street at 0:0:0?

Extras Pack is the one that was put up right before the 12/01 one. Tested on both WiFi and 3G. I have cleared data from the app, uninstalled and reinstalled, and fixed permissions, all with the same results.

I am downloading the newer extras pack now but for some reason it is going at 8kb/s.

Just adding in the extra info about the error messages because i have not seen them mentioned.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Google Now was updated in the new extras. It's a hacked copy to make it available offline, so it won't update through market. Nothing erases your messages, so I don't know what is causing that.

I don't control their bandwidth, and it's been mentioned MANY times. There is a whole page about it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gobraves00:
So you mean since it is a black screen that it is just unable to open anything due to their bandwith? And I have no idea what happened to my messages but it was completely blank. Also I am trying to add my sports teams to NOW and the edit button is grayed out I ant click it. Any other way to add teams?

Guessing twisted was talking about the download speed when he mentioned bandwidth

keyboard

Has the rom been updated to include the new keyboard or do we still have to delete and move some files?

thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
The blank screen was caused by the pre-approval not registering immediately. The download speed was caused by the lack of bandwidth. I have no idea what to say about the messages, the only way they would be cleared with this is if you cleared all data, and as far as Google Now, your best bet would be to check out their help pages on it. I don't build it and I've never even used it outside of making sure it loaded.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Milimbar:
Unless twisted found a new GoogleNow that I have not seen before, any ICS version the sports teams function does not work "yet" only working on JB.

GoogleNow is working for me as it did on other ROMs, Actually a little better seeing as how this one just naturally runs so smooth.

Thanks Twisted for the work you put into this!

When I click movie box and it pops up black screen. I hit menu and settings popped up. Only movie I wanted to see was Ted. So I unchecked everything else. Hit the back arrow and touched the middle of the black screen and movie started right away.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
The preview tiles weren't working, which is why I said there was a new version up. The only thing "broken" was that it wasn't receiving the image files for the initial view because the password was getting bypassed after they were called. Updating would be a lot easier than always having to make sure the only thing checked is what you are watching.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gobraves00:
I am on the newest pack. What else to update? Also I just went in to sync my contacts since I deleted some contacts. I went into actors and clicked on my Gmail and contacts isn't an option. Everything else is still there just no contacts. Any ideas? I tried to delete acct and redo the Gmail acct in hopes to have contacts pop up. But it didn't work and now I have lost all my contacts:) any help would be great.

sent from thunda down unda
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Milimbar:
Did you check in settings>accounts & sync that sync is on, and then under your account that sync is on for contacts?

You could also try going to https://www.google.com/contacts/#contacts and checking that your contacts are all there to sync to your phone.

As a last resort you can export them from there and import them into the phone (I have never done this so I do not know exactly how)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] oreogato:
To anyone with Google now installed, does the version twisted included have the issue where you can't click the first link of the search results?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
Not true. The "mikeyxda" version from XDA works with sports teams (pro baseball, football, and presumably more) and this is on ICS.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Sky93:
One thing I've noticed is that if I do a reboot/restart through the power menu (btw what's the difference?) my data won't work when I cut my phone back on. Signal is fine and toggling won't help until I do a battery pull? Any reason or help?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
That's what's in there now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] socalslim:
Lost all my sms and mms messages too. Should have backed them up first....Not that big of a deal but i know for sure that all i did was clear cache & dalvik the same way i had previously done with the other expansion packs... Using 4ext recovery of course. :P
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
I'm still on the 11/23 version but I did NOT lose any text messages. Maybe something's different with 11/28.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Not unless the update fix is somehow deleting folders not listed on the roster. I ran it 3 times today and haven't lost anything.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ToastyZ71:
Wanted to pass along my findings since enabling the 6 bar signal mod (did it a bit before your post, after reading another user's post earlier in the thread)

I usually keep 4g off due to battery life, so I haven't tested that. 3g seems to be more accurate, or at least seems to be more comparative to how it looked on GB stock. However, when on wifi, 3g is turned off, as per normal, leaving the remaining signal bars to display voice signal only This is not displaying correctly. It's just showing the '1' bar or smallest portion of the signal triangle.

So, essentially when wifi is connected, the mobile data connection is severed and the signal bars are not showing 3G or 1X data signals. When no wifi, the 3g or 1x (or 4g technically) signal overlays the voice only signal indicator.

You probably already knew all of that, just thought it may help to indicate what I'm seeing here.

Thanks! :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] libraryclg:
That is weird, I am connected using wi-fi and I'm showing 5 bars.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Sky93:
Any ideas for this?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Bwangster12:
I don't get how people are using Google Now. I have found it just about unusable on AOSP ICS ROMs. Upon pressing the mic key within the app or launching Google Now from my hard search key the MIC does NOT work or register my voice on initial attempt. The only way to get it to work is to launch the app, disregard the fact that it says its listening (cause its not), press the mic again, wait, press the mic again... and then it should listen.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] _Stomp_:
I did see the sports part in there but my Google Now is still saying there is a update and I noticed the app has a sports section. From my understanding the app is supposed to be capable of adding favorite teams, but mine does not. There is greyed out text that says edit team, but as I said, its greyed out. This Google Now app is after I flashed the latest playground pack. I'm on a clean install of the 11-23 build.

---------- Post added at 12:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------

My voice search works fine as far as recognizing my voice. I press the mic one time, speak, and it searches.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Bwangster12:
I'd love to find out what the differing factor in getting Google Now to work is. I have literally had it work perfectly on my Sense ICS ROMs and not work everytime on the AOSP ROMs. Did full clean installs, etc. etc. etc.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
I believe this is a kernel issue related to the microphone and not any particular app. I've had the mic not work for Google Now, Shazam, when making a phone call, etc.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
It was a kernel issue back when voice search didn't work at all. That was fixed almost a year ago, though.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arizonaomnia:
That's how it works for me. Is that how you define "unusable?"

[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Anything less than perfect, related or unrelated to the build, is usually unusable.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mattevandavis:
Twisted,

I recently upgraded to the Note 2 and put the TB out to pasture. I really enjoyed the latest ROMs you put out and I found that I missed Movie box. I was able to extract it from the ROM and use the APK on a non rooted phone. I wanted to know if you or I could post the APK for the community. Since its not my work that went into this I wanted to run the idea by you first.

THANKS!

[Thunderbolt Android Development] cnshough:
Just flashed the version from 11-28. Wiped data, cache, and dalvik. Couldn't get 4g, and 3g was constantly dropping out. So I went to recovery and wiped everything again, still no 4g, and 3g has dropped out 3 times in the last 5 minutes. In settings/mobile network, data is enabled along with roaming and nationaly roaming. network is set to lte/cdma/evdo, and system is selected automatic. Any help?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dark Jedi:
Radios you using? Its hard to say what causes it. I have had that happen at times and had to restart the phone to get 4g back. Might have to do a fresh install. This build isn't really stable with data due to the ril being "hacked" together.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cnshough:
Ugh! I had to pull the battery and never put the cover back on, thus no antenna! Sorry about that!

I stalled this rom because somebody recommended it because the data drops weren't as prevalent as the Liquid Smooth Rom was. Is that not the case?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dark Jedi:
Its really hit and miss when it comes to the data connection. Some people have no issues at all while others like me still have some problems. I will say data is better than his first release but till we can get some kinda official ril from HTC so it can be looked at and see what's needed to make it work.

I was looking on the rootz site and a person asked HTC an update on the release and the person said they are having connectivity problems they are trying to fix. Now that I can believe lol. True or not who knows but wouldn't be surprised if they took twisted/liquids ril and tried to see how they got it to work period lol.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
It's not even meant for other builds. I don't intend to make it any more public than here.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gokudre:
Ok then if I re flash and don't install rom manager I still get a lot of fc's.... Also one more question... One I install 4ext (which I did) I read somewhere that I need to delete the old 3ext stuff. Is that true? And if so how?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Spikelangelo:
Upon flashing your latest playground extras I too lost all my text messages. No biggie, I back them up frequently. Just fyi.

Mine works fine, try turning airplane mode on then off.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DrunkUncas:
The 12/3 extras took a steaming dump in my phone.

Killed my WiFi.

Erased my texts.

Moviebox wants a password

I didn't wipe anything. I'm on the latest build.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
The update does not choose options by default. There isn't a single thing in there related to texts and the update fix only clears out the system stuff for wifi that is rewritten on boot. MovieBox is currently disabled until everything is done getting moved.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DrunkUncas:
My bad on the WiFi. It cleared the key.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
That option is only meant for coming from CM7. I looked over the exact files it clears, and on CM9 it stores a copy of the sms database in one of the folders. Somehow I have cleared it 4 times and not lost any messages, but unless you're coming from CM7 the Update Fix option isn't needed.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] _Stomp_:
Yea the extras cleared my text as well. I dont care because I always use back up to gmail and I was sorta expecting it after reading all the post about it. Just figured I'd mention it as well.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DrunkUncas:
I needed a camcorder so I was on Thundershed for the last couple of days. I installed your latest build earlier, after superwiping, formatting ext4, and finally wiping manually. I then spent a couple of hours setting the phone up. My Ti aps backup was from one of your earlier builds. There shouldn't have been a trace of CM.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Well the only thing I can say is now the updater-script is three miles long so that each file is removed individually to make sure nothing gets mixed in. I still don't understand why it didn't do that to me, but it shouldn't happen to anyone else now. It will, however, delete the access point list. I found out a while back just killing the config wasn't enough because some of it gets hidden in the file with the saved access points.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:
Twisted do you have your sources posted anywhere?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DrunkUncas:
How often do you feel like smashing this cursed phone with a hammer?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RossLH:
Flashed the newest build, then tried to flash the update package and got an error that simply said "Cant open package (bad)". Am I just being a noob again, or am I doing something wrong?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Not a merged copy. It's all been by hand.

Pay $400 to replace a phone with the salesperson asking how it fell off a desk and managed to be in so many pieces (after explaining the hole in the wall to your roommate) and you'll reevaluate doing it twice.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Link_of_Hyrule:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Bwangster12:
By no means am I saying that the build is the cause of Google Now not working correctly for me. This build of ICS is far better than others I've tried. I'm just saying that the majority of the time I have issues with the mic picking up my voice in Google Now when using ICS AOSP ROMs.

Bluetooth Mic Issue

Has anyone else been experiencing Bluetooth microphone issues? I can connect my Thunderbolt to my car stereo via Bluetooth. It shows that the phone audio is connected (with the headset w/mic icon) and music audio (with the headphone icon without the mic). Both boxes are checked, however, when I go to make a call from Bluetooth in my car, the audio comes through, but the microphone isn't working (i.e. I can hear the other line, but they cannot hear me) Sometimes the audio doesn't work, but if I change from Bluetooth to handset and back to Bluetooth I can hear the other line, but they cannot hear me.

I'm trying to see if it's a ROM issue, or if it's my car stereo.

Thanks,

P.S. The latest Playground Extention .ZIP isn't on the main post. Did it get removed for technical issues, or was this oversight? :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dark Jedi:
The playground extra apps was pulled as the zip was bad and no one could get it installed. Covered a page or two back.

Far as Bluetooth goes I think I remember there was issues with it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kylebenton:
OK. Thanks for the update on the expansion. That's weird about the Bluetooth. I had it working the other day. It took some fighting with my car stereo, but it worked for a short time. Now it's not. That's why I think it's my microphone. The wiring harness has a 3.5mm jack where you hook up the mic. The microphone was plugged in, but the cable looked kind of squished, but not frayed or exposed wire. I figured maybe it was a short because the audio for the phone and the music work every time. I dunno? :confused:

Thanks,
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ABN85:
I've had problems connecting to the Bluetooth CB in my 18 Wheeler. it connects fine but when I make a call I can't hear the other line. I just switch it to handset speaker and then switch back to the radio after I hear the ringing start.

battery suddenly draining

Gentlemen,

got a question, not sure if its hardware or the ROM. Yesterday my phone died quickly, like within a few hours. I managed to charge it back up, and it showed my primary power comsumer is the screen. Well, today, I went from 90% to 40% in 2 hours, again, screen taking up 60% of battery. I know its off, the CRT shows, then the screen goes blank. My kernal settings are set to 1024 max with 245 min on ondemandx. All my data is set to sync once every hour, and I usually go with Wifi when able, leaving 4G off when able. My screen is set to sleep won 30 minutes of inactivity, but I always turn off the screen when I am not using it or its not plugged in.

I recently installed JuiceDefender hoping it would help, but apparantly not.

Any suggestions?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
See what apps you have with background services or widgets that update often. They aren't listed since they are background processes.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jerrya:
How do I check that?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
There are apps out there for it, or you could check stuff that you know has updates, such as weather, stock apps, etc and verify what your sync settings are.

Set your dpi to 120

Eventually, for now it is best to just replace them. No good comes from going back.

Yeah, apparently moviebox was a little too insecure. I was sharing bandwidth with three device types I don't even build for. The new one has the new login bypass info and stuff.

To make life easier on everyone:

If there are issues with the extras and stuff that isn't directly related to the build, that should be submitted -> https://code.google.com/p/cupcake-frosting/issues/list

That stuff isn't really high priority and the thread has become more focused on the apps in there than the build itself. Plus even half of the posts going there instead will cut the number of new reports (of old issues) in half.

It will also allow everyone to see the current status of stuff, so common issues are being added there as well.
