Apps Not Working For ICS [as of February 25th]

I have several apps not working for ICS (PyroIce 1.1.0) and. I'm wanting to figure out if it is bad installs or are others having problems with these apps and other apps as well. So I figured we can all help each other narrow down which are genuine compatibility issues with ICS from the app developer side as opposed to which are custom rom issues as opposed to which are installation (user specific) issues. Please contribute!! If this catches on I will maintain this thread so that those visiting it can add to it but will only have to look at this original post for the updated complete list.
Currently not running:
• Friendcaster Pro (installs but force closes when I attempt to log into facebook)
• Words With Friends (installs but has constant force closes)
• Shadowgun
If you are on ICS and successfully running an app on this list please post saying so. And if you did anything out of the ordinary to make it run please include that info.

The signature of this post lends to believe ICS is in play - maybe the issue?
Other people aren't having issues (noted in the thread) myself on my ROM and someone else on the stock ROM...

Trying to determine if ICS is the issue since it is not stable like our GB roms are. But there wasn't a clearinghouse type thread to determine rom vs user error/bad installation. That is what this is to determine since we may not have official ICS for a minute.

The only app I'm really having trouble running on my phone with ICS is the original freeware version of Pac-Man, and it's a graphics problem.

did you restore them as backups from other roms running gingerbread?

All of my app problems are on fresh installs from the Android market. I would suggest anyone with app problems on ICS do fresh installs as opposed to restores from titanium or other backup apps. That has fixed problems for me before.

You can add Draw Something to that list.
Its weird though a lot of the games will work right after install but a few days later is when they begin to stop.

I tried ICS and JB as well and I can confirm that, they have the same issue, I got a lot of prog which run and crash after a minuter. Never had this problems with GB.
No good at all.
Currently Crashing or not working:
Rainbow 6, HAWX, Fast 5, SPB TV, Shadowgun, TomTom.

ROM suggestions/ Virtuous Quattro issue

Now that the Virtuous Quattro's forum page on XDA is closed, i didn't know where to go...
I am having issues with the browser... All browsers i've tried, 4 to be exact, always seem to crash, regardless of which site i use. Anyone have the same issue or have a fix?
The phone always seems to reboot itself randomly, very annoying...
Secondly, there's no Mass storage/USB file transfer to the PC, has that been solved?
-------
Can anyone recommend me a ROM with full ICS Stock, (No Sense)? I've tried a few, but i was wondering if there is one with android beam or face unlock, or one where the wifi doesn't die every few minutes haha, (don't have data!)
Many great ones, but i would like one stable enough with no crashes or reboots
Or with a working video camera?
(I am new here... only 5 posts so yes, some of what i say MAY have been asked before or just seem foolish - i apologize in advance!)
Sensation 4G

I assume that your problem lies with an incompatible mod or a kernel issue...
Try CM7 or CM9? or Virtuous Inquisition...

Currently I'm using Virtuous Inquisition, and it's almost perfect. It feels just like AOSP.
Or try CM9
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

Thanks everyone!
I will definitely try the CM9, and i did use Inquisition at one point, super smooth and beautiful. However, its the sensation-Android 4 stock hybrid that bugged me, personally. The caller keeps crashing on me, but again, my opinion but i would like something different.
I'm even thinking about even trying Android Revolution HD... it looks soo tempting haha, even though i was trying to move away from sense, the speed and really customizable features is appealing!
Again, thanks everyone!

You could try HyperNonSense.

Instagram

So guys, i installed Instagram and i cannot take or upload pictures without it crashing. I i am running Shinzlon's orDroid rom on version 1.81. What should I do because i really enjoy this app?
Thanks Guys

I've uninstalled it & will just wait until instagram becomes compatible with Sense 4.0 ROMs.

That's what I said...The only ROM's it doesn't work with is Sense 4.0 because of some missing EGL or some crap that HTC took out when they decided to use Image Sense. It conflicts with the application.

same rom, but now quite working 100%...more like 90% of the time for me.

Over exaggerating how good it works doesn't help the issue. Be honest. If you search the threads you'll see that out the box it doesn't work for hundreds..Look on twitter too...We're not crazy..It's more than hit or miss broski's. It's only Sense 4. I think it's some sort of hack they did tho get around that issue with ImageSense.
Please don't read the beginning out of context

Any word yet on the updates?

From Instagram support center. "The HTC One X is not currently supported, though we do plan on supporting this camera in the future."

Yeah...It's the ImageSense chip for the camera that they can't get to work.

They updated the app but now i can load or take pics but when it comes to editing it freezes and reboots.
Sent from my Sensation 4G using xda premium

The way I get it to work is via reboot each time I want to upload a photo.
P.S. They just rolled out an update.

I'm having the same issue on sense 4.0, any word if the update fixed the issue?

Hey!
Anyone else on the HTC Sensation (XE) that Instagram no longer crops but rather squeezes the picture taken, making the aspect ratio f:ed up.
This started happening to me either in the latest update, or the prior one.
Right now I'm on:
Instagram 1.0.2
Android: 4.0.3
Sense: 3.6
Non rooted
I'm using Instagram's own camera interface. It's here where the problem has started to occur.
It works with the phone's own camera interface, but that makes it way more messy.
I'm not very happy with Instagram's "half ass" release. Every one else releasing cameras for Android can make it work.

Add Volume+ app as not working with Sense 4.0!
Instagram freeze my phone when loading a pic from gallery, yes with Sense 4.0, I wonder if One X users experience these problems...

Same problem for me, freezes reboots, when photo is loading, even can't see what the iOS user's buzz is about
Also on Shnizlon's Sense 4.0
P.S. Read about the update - installed again - nothing changed..

No one is over exaggerating here, it is working without any hiccups on ARHD sense 3.6, maybe sense 4 guys facing issues not sense 3.6 i guess.

Yeah, I saw that v1.0.2 was rolled out with fixes for HTC devices, but phone still reboots when filters load.
I think MIUI.us is finally updating from 2.2.24 to 2.4.6 tomorrow, I might try that ROM & Instagram.

[Q] 4.0+ Sucks on my G2

Ok I'm going to try to provide as much information as possible in order to help me troubleshoot this issue. My computer is running windows 7 home premium 64 bit. I've got a tmobile htc G2. I bought it used off of a friend and it was previously rooted and IIRC it had 2.3.7 gingerbread on it? not 100% sure. Since then I've updated the Clockwork to 5.0 from 3.0 and I updated the rom to an ICS 4.0.3. I tried virtuous at first and I believe now I'm using virtuous quattro RC3. I don't know If I'm still in an early version or what but I hate it. My apps (mocospace) crash constantly, even from switching from portrait to landscape, even the browser version of mocospace. I even tried downloading opera and dolphin and the same thing happens. Also with youtube, when I watch videos, they are not videos, they are more of a slideshow, I've downloaded adobe air and adobe flash but the videos are still in frames. I'm looking for one of two things, A Stable ICS that will work on my G2, or to go back to a previous version of android that will work fine like it used to. this version on this phone is driving me nuts, I constantly have to power off/on my phone to reset a Blank homescreen issue, or the icons will be blurred. thanks in Advance! - Andy

Good God, Seriously?
If it sucks so bad flash something else. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=758 and look for something that suits your fancy. *****ing in a general discussion section without using the search options will not get you any help. I stumbled upon this post on accident and thought "Eh, why the hell not". Qualcomm chipsets like those in the Vision and Glacier and most HTC phones don't have stable ICS yet due to driver issues. READ READ READ READ then READ some more then flash. Otherwise you'll be this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwleOote5M0&list=FLiSUReotYhEITuOWRb6Hb8w&index=11&feature=plpp_video

I was actually reading up on some different roms while I was at work tonight and figured I would try out both the Andromedus, and the CyanogenMods. I Do appreciate your help though, and [email protected] the video. When I bought this phone off of a friend it was already rooted and had 2.3.7 on it I believe, I just wanted to try out android 4.0. I'm guessing though like you say its still too early to find something awesome. I don't even mind this one so much except that it seems like itcant handle any graphical apps or procedures. once again thank you

Yea, the GPU on HTC phones doesn't have native ICS drivers yet. Good luck chief

ROM's that run flawlessly?

As brief as possible:
A few weeks ago my girlfriend asked me to throw ICS on her phone, i'm just a novice when it comes to rooting but i mean it's all self explanatory.
The only problem i ran into was finding a working ICS rom. I didn't know what xda was till this was all over and done with.
So i flash ICS 4.03, a ROM that appeared to have everything working camera/youtube/facebook/ the works (and it all did work). It's all peachy until i get this text where she says the keyboards all laggy. She's tried tons of android market keyboards and nothing really solves her problem, and shes just been seeing her phone deteriorate.
I don't have access to her phone seeing as it's hers and all, but she's asked me to fix it this coming weekend, and i don't really want to give her back that old sense 2.1/ gingerbread stuff she had. But i also don't want to give her some super fancy ROM that this phone apparently can't handle. I've read all the ROM Q&A's but with out the phone with me i can't really try them all myself, and i can't know if don't try them myself.
So my question is which ROM runs the best on this phone and preferably isn't a downgrade from ICS, or at least is better than her old firmware. Or if there's a better ICS ROM with none of these issue's, but i've been hard pressed to find it.
Sorry if i was non specific.

I've had no problems with redemption 1.2.7 it is ics with a lot of customization.
