firefox keeps closing!!!

Firefox force closes every time i try to do anything. Also it closes when i try to use flash. will there be another update to fix these problems?
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
It will be a Firefox update - not an Android update. The Firefox problem is well documented.

Try not to blame the platform when an application has problems.

Nexus7 4.2 jellybean SECOND USER IS NOT ROOTED?

Under Jellybean 4.1.2 Stickmount worked Flawlessly and any card reader, Usb Stick mounted and unmounted correctly.

Yesterday upgraded to 4.2 then unlocked and rooted the unit and now the same kit (otg cables, SD cards, Card readers) are seen by Stickmount but storage is empty.

As the principle user I am showing as unlocked and correctly rooted (Root Checker Basic by joekrim).

I decided to add my other half as a second user and after setting her up with her various apps I did a Root Check in her USER AREA

IT SHOWS THAT THE SECOND USER IN NOT ROOTED.

Any suggestions if I should or could root the second user?

Dolphin Browser BETA (they are working on it)
[Nexus 7 General] coversnail:
What developers need to update their apps is access to the latest Android SDK. However this time around this released at the same time as the actual update so there is no way a developer could properly update to reflect any changes. I guess they lose something in publicity if they release and SDK early because all the new features are exposed and they can't keep anything secret for a big public launch which generates press interest and publicity. And in this case it seems relatively few apps are having problems with the new update in comparison to previous new Android versions
[Nexus 7 General] _tangent:
Yeah Dolphin is running like a dog for me under 4.2. It's only been out a day though. I'm sure it'll be back up to scratch soon! Most annoying thing is apex not working for me at the mo :/ hate the stock launcher search bar.

HBO GO loads and shows the startup screens but when try to play a video, the app hangs.

The application notes say the app runs on Android up to 4.1 so this problem was not unexpected but I wanted to point this out if anyone was really concerned about this application.

I e-mailed HBO and received this reply "Thank you for your feedback. The HBO GO/MAX GO App does not currently support Android 4.2. Please stay tuned as a new version of the application with support for Android 4.2 is coming soon!"

Is anyone else having problems with Google Now? Sometimes it seems really jerky on my device since the update. Freezes during typing, huge keyboard lag. Weird. I've uninstalled kasparsky since that was crashing as soon as i tried to open it. Maybe that will have fixed it. Just rebooted and things seem a lot slicker. Fingers crossed. It's a PITA trying to find problem apps after a new update.
[Nexus 7 General] flymike2:
it does not work with 4.2
[Nexus 7 General] Omar04:
Honestly I'm sick of all the hate... people! is practically a new OS under the hood and it's almost flawless the problem is ROOT apps, Recoverys and normal APPs they all need to be updated to work properly in the OS. Chainfire and other devs are already working updating the apps and some binaries. Give them some time.

the apps needs to work/and be compatible with the OS because the OS pushes forward and apps need to adapt to it. If apps do not adapt to OS then there is no way possible for the OS to push innovation.

If you want a almost flawless experience meanwhile get rid of custom stuff and use is at Pure Android state. I have 3 accounts and more than 9+ gigs in games and apps no problems nor lag whatsoever. Smooth as melt butter.

[Nexus 7 General] coversnail:
People are allowed to rant, the app developers should be annoyed too. There is no reason that Google should have waited to release the 4.2 developer sdk until the actual day of release, it gives app developers zero chance of updating their apps in time, people then spam the ratings in the Play Store with 1 star reviews. It's not the developers fault at all but there is someone to blame and that's Google.

Asphalt 7 didn't work for me immediately after the upgrade to 4.2.

I got a toast message saying "Verifying license" and after that it just returns to the home screen.

Edit: Asphalt 7 works just fine on my Motorola Atrix. Also, my Nexus 7 is not rooted and 100% stock.

I can say Google and it finds something, then I say Google again and it finds the next thing... not sure what you guy mean by "second" Google.

My main gripe is having to sign into every Amazon app, every time. Also I "had" allow in app purchases unchecked, now it's checked. I unchecked and put in password, and it shows unchecked. A few hours later it asks to sign in again and is back to checked. Amazon needs to upgrade to 4.2!

Launch Google now by pulling the lockscreen ring up. Say "Google" and it will open the search. Then speak what you want to search for. Make sure your volume is turned up and that you have hot word detection in settings turned on.
[Nexus 7 General] Beards:
One point to note in making Google Hotword detection activated:-

1. First go to Google Now and tap on Settings

2. Next, click on Voice and then Language..

3. From the selection select English... and then English (US) and go back to the Voice window.

3. You will now see the selection 'Hotword Detection with a tick-box. Select this and close Settings.

Note: If you are in the UK you will have English (UK) selected. In the Voice selection window you will not see the hot word detection line nor the selection box to tick. Google Now Hotword selection does not work with English (UK).

You have to change the language from English (UK) to English (US) in order to see the Hotword Detection line and check box.

You have to be extremely persistent. I was so passed I went home from work early but I kept refreshing the 8gb Page and it seemed like it would let me add it to cart every minute or so. But every time I added it as soon as I got to the next Page it would empty my cart. I thought it was just a bug and I wasn't really adding it but since I was just sitting on train I just kept at it. It took me about 45 minutes of refreshing but I finally got to the payment screen then it emptied my cart. Then finally after a bunch of retires I got the payment screen to go through! I can post the pic. Confirmation email came almost immediately. Bought it 1:24pm EST

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Discloner:
Hey folks,

I installed Helly Bean a few months back and just downloaded an updated version of the ROM - when I went to flash it I discovered that I can no longer get to Recover, when I choose 'Reboot' and select 'Recovery' the phone reboots but just lands on a black screen. The touch buttons at the bottom of the phone light up when you touch any of them - but otherwise nothing happens; I have to hold the power button to reboot the phone again and it just starts up as normal.

I tried using CWM ROM Manager to flash a new recovery (Choosing 'Samsung Vibrant (MTD)') - but it says there's no officially supported CWM Recovery yet for my device, and asks if I have installed one manually. I've looked into it...but I can't seem to find HOW to install one manually.

It's really not a pressing thing as my current ROM works well enough...but it'd be nice to figure out a solution. I'm still pretty much a noob at all of the Android development stuff...so please bear with me. Any advice would be most appreciated!

There was a build of helly that caused this issue. What is the build date you are running?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Discloner:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsgun357:
It was actually the kernel that caused the issue, I'll look into the build date/number.

Edit:that is the build, flash the latest .tar kernel in Odin, then boot to recovery and flash new ROM.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Discloner:
Thank you for checking!

Quick follow-up! Back when I flashed the ROM (and previous ROMs) I had a PC - so I'm familiar with Odin, but since then it crapped out and now I'm saddled with a Mac. I've investigated a Mac alternative...but all the threads I've found have dried up download links and don't quite explain the process of setting it up. Any advice there?

Worse case scenario I boot up the PC and try to get through the process of using Odin - but as the problem is that the graphics card is dying; the thing could crap out again at any moment - which I assume could brick my phone if it happened mid-flash.

Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsgun357:
Not real familiar with Mac. Heimdall is the only program I'm aware of, Im not sure if you can flash a kernel with it. Sorry

One Stop Theme Guide

This method is for all system apps so not only for the sytemUI.apk you can also try this on a app or Framework-res.apk

Hello Guys (And Girls)

Always wanted to theme your rom or a app then this is the guide for you!

What i will explain to you today is how to theme your Rom​

What you will need is the Following:

- 7zip

- Windows Pc

- Winrar/Winzip

- And some Hands :p

Tutorial Theme SystemUI.apk

Step 1:

What you do is the Following take the systemUI.apk from your rom and follow then the instruction i will give you!

Step 2:

Copy the Systemui.apk and open it with 7zip

Step 3:

In 7zip go to res/drawable-mdpi it can also be Hdpi or xhdpi or ldpi that is depending on your phone!

Step 4:

when you open the folder you see a lot of .png's that are all the .png's you can theme but remember this you must esize every picture to the original size of the normal stock .png in the systemUI.apk

Step 5:

So now i take for example the battery icon of my rom and i want to theme my stock touchwiz style battery icon to the Jelly bean one now this is what you do!

Take a Jelly bean battery icon and look at the size of the jelly bean battery icon now also look at the Touchwiz style icon and scale the jelly bean icon to the same size of the touchwiz icon!

Now you see that the sizes are diffrent. resize the jelly bean icon to the same size of the touchwiz icon!

Step 6:

Now put the new resized jelly bean battery icon in your SystemUI.apk from your rom and close the SystemUI.apk put the SystemUI.apk back in your rom and flash it Enkoy Guys.

I will give you people a couple of .png's from diffrent styles they are in the attachments!
