New questions/issues haven't seen addressed yet

Hello All,

This is my first post on this thread. I just want to give a big mega huge THANK YOU to both [MENTION=2984707]gekkekoe123[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5389783]donaldta[/MENTION] for all of your research into SCT.:good::laugh:

I have a fully rooted and mostly functional unit in New Jersey thanks to you guys:cool:. I am running ADW EX launcher and have pretty much configured everything to my liking except for a few items that i've listed below. Hopefully someone can help me out or shed some insight into these issues.

I've had some trouble accomplishing the following:

1. Waze: I downloaded the asteroid market apk that [MENTION=5389783]donaldta[/MENTION] posted and successfully installed Waze 3.7.3.1 via ADB over Wifi using menu.bat. The UI functions fine but when i go to the map view, no map images load (its just a blank white screen with the arrow icon)..I also cannot perform any searches for points of interest etc.. I logged in via my facebook account and this is working fine. I am able to see warnings and other user community generate data with no issue.

2. Setting Live Wallpapers: I installed a number of live wallpapers however I came to the realization that there isnt a way to actually set them via ADW launcher. When attempting to set the live wallpaper using the corresponding live wallpaper application it throws an error stating "No activity found to handle Intent {act=android.service.wallpaper.LIVE_WALLPAPER_CHOOSER}" Is there a way to manually launch the "Live Wallpaper Chooser? I know gingerbread supports live wallpapers the apks associated with this activity should exist... (Maybe I can use Tasker to address this somehow?)

3.NetFlix: I downloaded a version of Netflix that is compatible with Android 2.3.7 however when I launch it, it immediately informs me that there is a new version of the application. I have two options. "Cancel" which exits the application, or "Update" which forces me to go to Google Play and download the latest version (which is not compatible). Perhaps there is a way to block the application from checking for an update by modifying the Host file? Not sure if this would actually resolve the issue. Has anyone had success using the Netflix app? I am going to simply try and login through Xscope browser and attempt to play movies through there in the mean time. (Havent tried this yet)

4. Plex: The application works fine but when I try to stream any video, regardless of bitrate settings, player settings, and so on it will only play Audio from the videos and will NOT display video. I tried enabling and disabling transcoding which didn't change anything. Not sure what else I can do.... Do I need Flash Player installed to get this to work? Has anyone had success with Plex?

5. Auto-hide Android status bar while in an application: I know you can use ADW EX to hide it while on the home screen but I haven't figured out a way to do this while in applications. This would open up more screen real estate for applications such as navigation apps or Milk Drop visualizations (projectM) :) Is there an Xposed framework module that can facilitate this?

I appreciate any and all help, Thank you!
