After nightly 12 is released, I need someone to make list of apps that force close and how to reproduce the fc.

So far I've tried gun bros and xda. Gun bros worked fine for me. I played through a few waves. I did get a force close from the xda app though.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Will do. Thank you and the CM7 team for your work. Look forward to the next nightly.

I finally bit the bullet and decided to copy the patched framework for my 1.1 nootered NC. I used Root Explorer, I copied the framework.jar file into the /system directory. BUT, when I tried to change permissions, Root Explorer FC'd back to the home screen. After that I couldn't launch any programs and eventually my NC rebooted itself. Now it sits at the "N" boot screen and does nothing...

Looks like I'll be restoring via the CRW stock 1.1 image later today. :mad:
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
I apologize for your situation. This hasn't happened to me, or some of the others that have tried this.

If you know your way around the command line. You could try to adb shell to your nook while in CWM and rename the framework.jar to framework.jar.bad --> Then rename your original (which should be framework.jar.bak) to framework.jar. And try rebooting and it should work. This way you won't have to do a full restore. If you need more guidance PM me and I'll try my best to help.

[Nook Color Android Development] kwheaties:
I have extension UNIX experience, so I should be able to figure this out... thanks so much!

Now I need to find an old sdcard to flash the CWM stock image from these forums.
[Nook Color Android Development] eyecrispy:
i've had the following fcs on nightly 12:

market

superuser

titanium

i'll report if i see more.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Nightly 12 is running pretty well for me except for:

1-XDA app force closing when logged in and browsing a thread.

2-Skyfire browser would FC sometimes when I'm trying to load a flash video.

3-Printershare FC on me when I choose Gmail

I'm no developer and not as experienced as I would like at coding and wish I could contribute more, but I revised the telephony patch for CM7v12 and patched the framework and now the apps that were FC'ing above are running fine again. Hopefully the devs can figure out a way around this issue. I'll try and get a logcat for the FC'ing issues when I get my new PC laptop.

Thank you devs for all your hard work at no cost to us. But of course we look forward to "donating' when we can.

P.S.

I know this still isn't a solution, but it will at least give everyone the wonderful experience to keep using their XDA app on their nook for the time being.

**Check OP for CM7v12 Patched Framework"
[Nook Color Android Development] lekofraggle:
Hello,

Any idea if this will allow Readers Hub/ Zinio to run on rooted stock 1.1? It works for me on HC and Nookie, but not stock. I do not see an emi error in logcat.

Thanks. Leko

Bump... any patches available for CM7 cause most Gameloft games crash.
[Nook Color Android Development] hallandnash:
can the CM team please fix the Sirius App .. which gets stuck on "checking for updates" without the patch.. works fine after.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccossin:
I swear, everytime I look at an app on the market it requires more permissions than it should need. Especially games.

Am I paranoid or are they really out to get us?

Are there any apps we can trust?

Anyone with info on how we can recognize thieving apps please tell us.

This has been a paranoid telepathic transmission from the Outer Limits.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] novanosis85:
You got something to hide?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Games just want to track how you use it. But some things [sketchy apps and you know them when you see them] ask for ridiculous things indeed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrimReaper24:
I know what you mean man kinda got watch out for keyloggers and some apps out there can get your phone number hint all the annoying unknown callers calling your phone. It's getting annoying.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccossin:
Well, I don't want my contacts and whatnot spread around all over the place.

This has been a telepathic transmission from the Outer Limits.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Gotta check the permissions, or find a different app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccossin:
Understood. However, it's sometimes hard to tell the apps that need permission for legit reasons and those that don't.

This has been a telepathic transmission from the Outer Limits.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
Is that why I've been getting a lot of unknown calls and weird numbers calling me? I don't owe money so I know it's not BC's.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xrdodrx:
This is not an answer to privacy concerns. Yes, I do have something to hide (my #, contacts, SMS, GPS location) from shady developers releasing crap apps that ask for way too many permissions, and you should too.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
I think for the vast majority of apps, they're not trying to do anything wrong. Of course, you should always check and see if they make sense. But often there's a legitimate reason that isn't immediately obvious. The Angry Birds debacle with SMS permissions a few weeks ago is a good example. It turned out to be that they wanted to implement carrier billing via SMS (they've since removed the permissions). Granted, that itself could be abused, but it's theoretically legit.

One thing that would improve the permissions system - Allow developers to (optionally) specify that a permission is to be confirmed upon use, and not just at install. I think that some people would be a lot more comfortable knowing Android will ask them for permission prior to actually doing something, rather than granting permission for an app to do it whenever it wants. Obviously some permissions do need to be full time, but a lot of the permissions (especially ones that freak people out) are only needed under specific situations, and often for rarely performed activities. Take the Angry Birds situation. Rather than them needing to ask for permission at install to send texts whenever and to whomever they want, people would be much more comfortable if Android would prompt "Angry Birds wants to send an SMS to #####. Do you wish to proceed?". There's no such mechanism, so if an app wants to do something under ANY use case, they have to ask for permission to do it whenever.

It'd also be nice if developers could enter a description in the manifest of WHY they need a permission and have Android include that when it prompts the user. Granted, this would be on the honor system, as they could make up something legitimate sounding and not disclose a nefarious use of the permission. But it would still provide more clarity.

...or you could root your phone and just hope that the ROM devs are on the up and up. Being relatively paranoid myself, some ROMs seem like they would steal credit card or paypal payments made into the market, one in particular

Not true, but just saying
[Atrix 4G General] computermilk:
Is there a way to change the lock screen animation?

it's SUPER slow for me... everything else on the phone is amazingly fast so i can't understand why the lock screen swipe is so slow.. =X
[Atrix 4G General] waltah!:
I've only used the fingerprint reader and it's working really well. I know the lock screen animation on my Captivate (froyo) is very slow.
[Thunderbolt General] Sleeper69:
Will the camera be as fast as the iphone in taking pics?
[Thunderbolt General] chadstone30:
Yes.

Agreed, pics are pretty quick on the Evo I have.
[Thunderbolt General] Sleeper69:
Good to hear.
[Thunderbolt General] stangmatt66:
Played with the Thunderbolt cam yesterday. It's very fast. Didn't have an iPhone to compare with, but it's way faster than the Eris.
[Thunderbolt General] Philosophre:

Hate to say this as I type this from my wifes iPhone lol while my phone charges but the iPhone 4 takes absolutely wonderful pictures from what I can see.

It's official!

OTA url. Do not flash this zip. It is for ROM cookers only.

UPDATE

I've just noticed that this thread has been moved from the development section. For those who aren't aware of the significance of this update, it is useful to us Desire owners because it will allow us to use stock, AOSP based Gingerbread ROMs with improved stability, graphics performance and battery life. It will also also give ROM makers more straightforward access to camera hardware.
[Desire General] mattman83:
goodbye bootloops!!
[Desire General] TomWan:
Gingerbread (Android 2.3.3) update now rolling out to Nexus S and Nexus One. Be patient, may take a few weeks for OTA to complete.

this is news.

a good news. I can't wait to try it .
[Desire General] jeffreyljb:
Great news,here we,HTC DesirE users can not wait to download via OTA now...
[Desire General] stsandi:
That's some great news, but since I read that HTC (pocketnow.com/android/gingerbread-coming-to-htc-desire-this-spring-or-summer) is waiting for the Desire S to come out first, we Desire users might have to wait quite a while before getting an official update!?
[Desire General] iromek:
Yes, that's true... if you have some sort of love affair with HTC Sense! :p

I've the new Sense (Froyo build) from RCMixHD on my Desire and have to say... it's okay but man is there a lot of HTC crap running on it!

Since most of us are running Cyanogenmod, Oxygen, etc... it's great news for us! We'll have a nice clean ROM in a matter of weeks (if not days). So I don't see how HTC dragging their feet matters at all. And just so you know, another reason they (HTC) might be slow to upgrade is because the new Desire S and Wildfire S models are coming, and they've changed so little on them that I'm sure they want to give users more (artificial) reasons to update. Thank god for our Rom Chefs! :cool:
[Desire General] EddyOS:
I'm waiting for Sense personally, stock Android is fugly - even with different launchers. Only one remotely good is the MIUI launcher
[Desire General] blud7:
I agree, MIUI is great but HTC Sense is beautiful. Stock Android....bleh, it is fast and smooth but ugly. (not quite fugly)
[Desire General] chris100575:
Get in! Looking forward to Oxygen 2.0 final. :D
[Desire General] LuffyPSP:
seems like we can CM7 RC2 or CM7 final soon!
[Desire General] dj-darkside:
Stock Android is ugly? Look at my Signature ;)
[Desire General] wph:
In my opinion Sense is more beautiful than stock Android, but at least Gingerbread has a black bar instead of the hideous grey bar in 2.2 and also the icons are a bit nicer. Combine 2.3 with LauncherProPlus and a few other tweaks and it looks good. Altough what I really don't understand is why the stock dialer sucks so much. Unable to call a contact by pressing the first few letters of a name... Phones did that already at the turn of the millennium, maybe even before that. (Yes, I have DialerOne)
[Desire General] Hafficci:
Really good news for all of us indeed!! Sense and clean Android followers will have our update, and all (our at least most of it) the issues will be fixed!!

Cheers for that!!
[Desire General] andQlimax:
Ya, but show me ur dialer, ur calendar, ur contacts app, ur settings, ecc? How does these look? Sense look more beautiful, of course aosp is faster and can be customized a lot, but the look of the sense is fantastic
[Desire General] ShotMe:
dude the answer for you is miui... :)
[Desire General] hover99:
Hopefully it is possible to port the Desire S Android 2.3.x ROM to the old HTC Desire. I think this should work much better then the Desire HD port..
[Desire General] Large Hadron:
Subjective - personally the fat, dark (but not quite black) borders in Sense apps were something I was glad to see the back of.

In fact the aesthetics of Sense were a major motivation in ditching it (I stopped using the Sense launcher within a couple of days, well before rooting).

It's all a matter of taste - but at least we do have options :)
[Desire General] Dirky:
Is there anything special I need to do if I wish to take advantage of a new ROM which will be based on 2.3.3 stock but still have the chance to take the HTC OTA update for 2.3 when it becomes available??

Thanks

I'm going to buy a Gtab and i'll install the Tnt Lite, but i wanna know if i can use a usb or bluetooth keyboard with it.
[G Tablet Accessories] usafle:
I have had ZERO success getting a bluetooth keyboard to work. It won't pair. Keeps asking me for a security code when there is none.
[G Tablet Accessories] Matheus562:
and an usb one?
[G Tablet Accessories] anjenaire:
USB Keyboard

No problems. Works ok on TnTLite as well as VeganTab; now a USB mouse is a different story depending on the ROM you are using.
[G Tablet Accessories] 999ping:
My USB keyboard works fine on TNTLite 2.2 (rather old version now). Haven't tried a Bluetooth keyboard with it.
[G Tablet Accessories] -me-:

I've had no problems plugging in a USB keyboard

BUT I have had no success using TNT Lite and bluetooth.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Just a quickie...haha My wifes ipad will run iphone apps, it just blows them up and it looks like a$$. Does anyone with an android tab know how this works with android apps? Are all apps pretty much for all android devices?
[Xoom General] kenhunt:
Google has taken into account a "Fragmentation API" this will ensure that all apps off your phone will work and look good on your xoom.
[Xoom General] jaeisber:
But, this is assuming the app has been coded using the new SDK. It does not automatically take in to account apps that have been coded for Froyo or before.

My guess is that it will be the same as the iPad. Until the app is made specifically for large screen devices, it will be like blowing up a low resolution image.
[Xoom General] Pazzu510:
This is kind of stupid. there should be an option to resize it or just center it. I got a g tablet and it is horrible that some apps just get to the left corner but the controlls get where ever they want. Some apps are unusable with this kind of things. I bet that some apps for froyo will do the same thing on the xoom if the same thing happens and it get resized by default.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
On the ipad you have iphone size which is centered or 2x...2x looks like a$$ and I didn't buy a 10 in screen to look at a cell phone sized app. Thanks for all the replies.
[Xoom General] Pazzu510:
yep, it would look like a$$, but it is much better to have a centered app than an unusable app. XD
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Android scales apps. So for something like a music player it will probably look like ass. For a game it will scale very well and should look relatively OK until they update the graphics to fit the resolution the Xoom is hitting.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMJpkQ2flss

That should show you approximately what will happen.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
This is 100% what i wanted to see thank you.
[Xoom General] Pazzu510:
Yep some of them do, but they are usually the high quality apps like angry birds and tank hero. Some other´s, many, just get deconfigured in the screen or just force close.:(

Hope honeycombs fix this in an inteligent way. I agree that games might not be playable, but many apps that can be just not resized and used well enough.

Cheers for honeycomb. :D
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Hoping once its hacked up, i can run lcd density on it also :)

[Xoom General] setite:
The apps look fine. The only thing that would look like ass is really low quality, low resolution images. The phone scales properly made elements so apps coded right will scale. They might not utilize the space properly.. but they wont look bad. I used ES File Explorer and it scaled really well.. and a comic reading app was perfect.

[Epic 4G General] antila:
Hello!

My question is not about Epic 4g and I've already asked about it not long ago. So, I'm trying to ask it again because it is a problem for me and I don't know how to fix it.

Until today I've had Bonsai 4 all 2.0.1 Rom with EXT4. And my problem I couldn't pair any device on my system. Tried everything. When is it a new system, I mean without my user data in it, Bluetooth pairing is easy and working. After I'm trying restore my data, I'm loosing all of my pairings and can't pair anything. I have one backup with pairings in it and when I'm restoring from that backup all devices are working. But my problem is it is an old backup. After I tried to restore my Bluetooth Pairing from that backup with the Titanium Backup PRO I couldn't do it and it is not working.

Today I've installed EB13 and have RFS. But problem still here. It was pairing when system was new but after I've restored my data I couldn't pair anything.

Can somebody give me some advice how to fix the problem? If I will try to install fresh system and pair my devices first, what is better way to restore my Call logs/ SMS/MMS/Accounts info? I can think of something else but I think those I'm really need to restore. Can I restore all of it with MyBackup PRO? IS it working? What is better way to do it?

Please, help me?

Thank you very much and God Bless you!
[Epic 4G General] darkfire79:
I had to use (turn off bluetooth), adb shell, su, go into /data/misc/bluetoothd/ then I renamed/added _ to the file there. "mv xx:xx:xx:xx:xx to xx:xx:xx:xx:xx_" (which should be the MAC address of the phones bluetooth radio)..

Then turned back on bluetooth.. And that fixed pairing. Good luck.
[Epic 4G General] gremlyn1:
I was running into a very similar issue as the OP. I had just switched to EXT4, but otherwise my device was 100% the same as before, and every time I tried to connect my headset to the phone, I would get a force close with Settings. I tried what you suggested above, and low and behold, it seems to work just fine.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bash_array:
Does anyone know if someone has created a deodex .zip file to flash via customer recovery?

For those that don't know, many of the apk files installed by an official rom will have a .odex file associated with them which slows down your phone considerably. These odex files interact with delvik cache and java VM and from what I understand wreak havoc on data access times and are largely uneccessary. Other dev platforms such as the droid x and evo have a .zip file that you can simply flash via recovery that will "deodex" your apps in system\apps folder. Basicially this zip will take your odex file and associated apk file and take the important information out of the odex and input it into the apk making just one streamlined faster file.... with all of your odex files gone, your phone will spend less time executing programs both for end user and core google apps and your phone will be way faster. Any idea if someone has developed this yet for the streak? Thanks
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
For others who, like me, didn't understand the question - read this.

But what I gathered from that wasn't that de-odexing speeds anything up, more that it makes it easier to make modifications.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alperin1:
Why are you posting this in more than one forum? This is the same as what you posted in the dev forum, right?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bash_array:
wasn't sure if anybody would follow what I am posting in the QA as most noobs are in here. Why do you care? I meant delete this one and go with the developer post anyway.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bash_array:
Marvin my man.... deodexing more than doubles data access speeds for core google apps and makes the phone more snappy. Seen this performed on a droid x and an HTC evo... works wonders.

I just want to know if someone has developed a simple flashable .zip file that will deodex my system/app apk files so I can speed things up and modify my self. I don't care that dj steve's rom already has this done... I don't care for steves latest roms as they are very buggy on 3g, wifi, gps, notification bar hangs, drops data when wifi toggle is enacted, gmail won't sync... I got tired of messing with he streaddroid roms (for now) and went to stock 318 with just smokku's dj steve kernal mod which allows me to OC to 1.19ghz. I get 2000 quad out of that and I am happy, plus I get the added bonus of having a 99.9% stable rom. Can't wait to see what steve comes out with next. i always try his roms out first.

Thanks
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3105162:
You could probably copy you're system/app folder and write a simple batch script to use baksmali to deodex *.odex, use 7-zip command line to put the .dex file in the apk (I assume that is what has to happen), and then push that folder back to your phone with an adb push. I dont really want to try this because I'm on 319 and cant make a nandroid backup but since you can on 318 it never hurts to try.
