Market apps not working with GB

I didn't see a thread for this. If anybody is interested then add to this list. These are apps that I have found that won't install on that GB rom's.
Weatherbug elite
Yellowbook
Sent from this here Evo!

I don't know about the YB app but Weatherbug elite works just fine on my CM7 RC4 which is a GB rom.

It doesn't even show up in the market for me nor does yellowbook. Running EVOZone CM Nightly #37.

since more than 2 years nothing was posted I'd like to use this thread for finding apps that aren't working on GB for Lt18i (SE Arc S)

I understand your concern.
I just want members specially jader to choose the right path for future development.
I wont be posting on this issue on that thread anymore though.
We can't have all the newest of apps in GB. That's true. But, we also need to understand that our devices don't have to capability to run those apps without bugs.
I am willing to compromise on the newest features if the apps that we use are reliable and bugfree.
It's better to have a solid app that can do 2 things reliably, rather than the latest app that can do 3 things unreliably or with bugs.

so far only apex & greenify don't work, but an annoying error that appeared all of a sudden, connecting to pc only charges, no transfer, and com.google.contacts.transfer FC once in uhm 5 min.,and (almost forgot) home-button doesn't work (pressing doesn't return but long press does give recent apps). Will reflash tomorrow

That's fine. But, it would be better if you also share the alternatives for them. Like chrome have mozilla, opera, maxathon etc as better alternatives.
Greenify effect can be replicated in a better way by using rom toolbox and lucky patcher.
Also, I would like to mention here that ' adreno booster' tweak only works on GB and nothing else. And it does improve the performance and speed.

So, have you installed jin2gb rom?
Sent from my MK16i

yeah, on j2gb now, instead of Apex I got me Golauncher, Greenify: not entirely sure I need something similar, so didn't look for an alternative yet.

ok, due to several mistakes on my side, had to reflash it twice, now let's see how the batt. holds up, other that (if a there's a difference in batt. usage) I don't see (except for booting, but since I only do that once in 2 days, not affected by it) any speed increase. Testing right now, but I don't see the LED working not even with "test" in lightmanager, willl report on that and batt. later
oow yeah, using Atomic 8 now

any idea what could be causing the LED malfunction? Quite annoying cause I use it alot

Have you gotten over testing jin2gb ROM as well?
One thing I would like you to do is to flash the Xperia S launcher that is provided as addon in Atomic GB7 in GIN2GB ROM. I am using it right now and it have a lot of features with a very small memory footprint compared to other similar launcher!

Do you mean copying home.apk from atomic7 to j2gb?

[Q] Opinion on GenericGinger v2

Has anyone used this ROM
simply-android.com/discussion/1763/rom-genericginger-2.0-for-sidekick-4g-t-mobile-updated-120911/p1
I've been going through ROMs every few days or so trying to find one i like and i flashed this one today. I'm not sure how i feel about its speed, i guess i was just curious if anyone else has tried it and what they thought

Wow, didn't even know these ROMs existed

Probably the smoothest rom out there right now.

Well I just flashed this ROM, thank god I've been itching to test another ROM since the developer drought, I have to admit, this is amazing, so far, I can change my lock screen, this is very smooth and amazingly 2.3.5 like. More amazing features that I have found but I must say, very worth flashing.

yeah its not ginger clone it uses a lot of the framework of overdose it seems. I actually would like to get gingerclone going again but the links are broken.

Yeah, this rom is pretty smooth. I haven't noticed anything buggy on it yet.
Only thing I noticed is that it doesn't have a Task Manager.

Yes I do, i've been running it since early yesterday.

have you noticed the icons not loading when you resume from a lock, like a memory issue or something of that sort? Sometimes when i switch between aps the homescreen will be empty and the phone lags. it is just strange ive never seen it before

Stock KJ2 does that, so I don't think it's really a rom issue per se. Seems like it doesn't keep the launcher layout in memory during high usage or something.

Yea one of our phones main problems is a severe lack of RAM, so the launcher usually has a hard time staying open when something else is bugging out the memory.
Sent from the phone everyone has forgotten about!

You can try using something like launcher pro and setting it to keep in memory, not necessairly guaranteeing that won't have other problems though...

Use the v6 supercharged script, this will lock your home screen in memory and take care of that issue entirely

How do I run that script?
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App

Try going to this website: www.google.com, it's something called a "search engine" then type "v6 supercharger XDA" in the box and see what happens!!! It's a really useful website for finding things!!!
I use aggressive 1 settings, haven't felt a need to use the others

Haha alright

I've been using this rom now for a few days and its by far the best rom (as of right now) out there and I haven't been using any kind of task manager either and it is still smoother and speedier then any rom out
P.s. no disrespect to all of the great devs out there workin on are phone!
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App

Please know that ROM is essentially my gingerclone ROM with all the same asop apps and framework as well (with changes of course). I'm sure its updated to KJ2 with lockscreen mod by now but the poster of the ROM didn't even bother to change the OP format from my GC post. I'm not saying don't use his ROM.. if you like it do so, I'm jus speaking up because he didn't properly credit me or Sduvick. He's on XDA and used to post on the forums so idk why didn't he say something about it.

Teddy I thought so, I've used all of your roms. I can't wait for your next release. It also uses your kernal. I'm just a flashaholic, love changin it up every time I can

So is teddy really doing a new ROM? This would be fantastic news. Maybe have roboto as font and use ics icons?
And is it not possible with any of these roms to do the whole notification drop-down clearing of messages? Is that something that id definitely need ics for?

Just started using it, I like it so far, loads of custom options!

Issue found in system Setting, selecting List of apps.
1. Select Paranoid Settings
2. Scroll to List of Apps.
3. Select List of apps.
I am receiving a, Unfortunately , Settings has stopped message.
Have also received the same message when Selecting Data Usage.
Also what is the best logcat app to use?

Also running the tablet configuration as "small" there is an UI fail message.

@mguelph use alogcat from play store
The data usage is a cm9 issue but the app listing in paranoid settings would be a porting issue

which is somewhat odd, because when I first installed and ran the 2nd CM9 release independent from AOKP or Paranoid, I had no system menu issues, so has to be something in the porting.

Guys noted I will check all the bugs for you

Anybody have an idea for fitting the Gmail compose/reply window in the screen better. The left side gets cut off and you can't get to it. Same thing when trying to set custom lockscreen apps, I can't get to the right middle one.
I have it on Tablet Mode Optimized, as I had the phone FC with it on Phone Optimized.
This is a cool ROM though! Thanks Team Unknown!

Awesome, thanks! I should clarify it wasn't Gmail that fc'd it was the phone when receiving a phone call using the Phone Optimized setting.

Found a fix for the fitment, under user default dpi, I set it to stock dpi tablet and everything fits great now, however everything is much smaller, but I like it, and you can adjust font size after that. Thanks for the info...it certainly pointed me in the right direction, even if individual apps aren't adjustable right now.

I am seeing a lot more lag with the update than before....not sure if I should just do a full wipe.
Was the modified build.prop included in the rom update? Or do I have to reinsert it after the new rom install?

look you must do a full wipe and about the build.prop you can still have to push if you want the extra benefits

Awesome Framework Animations!!

These are in no way mine guys! But I have tried them and they work Amazingly with Blue Kuban just wanted to give a heads up!
Not sure about flashing them. I extracted the zip from the post then decompiled with apktool and then recompiled my framework-res.apk and they do work and look Awesome!!

Any idea if these would work on Sonic Rom?

Just got done flashing on stock odexed MDL and I gotta say that it's alright. I'm gonna give it a few more hours and see. Initially, what I don't like about it so far (or not used to it so far) is the abrupt way in which the screen pops off and pops back in.

Hmm, I'm not seeing anything different.
Does it depend on the launcher?

Shouldn't depend on the launcher...my guess is that it's one of a couple things:
1. Go to Settings>Developer Options, scroll down, and make sure that the window/transition/animator durations aren't at 0.0x. If you want to feel the full effect of the animations (and tweak later based on your performance preferences), I recommend starting them all at 1.0x.
2. Go to Nova Launcher Settings>Look & Feel, then scroll down to "App Animations" and make sure SYSTEM is checked. It's possible that you have a custom setting here (I remember I did at one point) that is overriding the framework anims.
Good luck!

Thanks, the developer settings were all OFF.
I set them all to 1.0, now I see some differences.
But, I was expecting extreme differences from all the posts.
Thanks again.

So, before installing the CrossBreeder mod, http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2113150
I was saying, okay, it does something, sometimes, but now it is way cool.
Guess CrossBreeder kicked my phone in the ass!
Sprint S4, stock odex MDL, CF-Auto-Root, TWRP recovery, Hot Spot mod, XPosed Framework and mods,
[KERNEL] (004_r3)TouchWiz(UV/Intelliplug/dyn fsync/FauxSound/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) -
[MOD] CrossBreeder - 6.13.13-Lag Reduce/Entropy/DNS+/Tether+/Adblock/Censor Bypass

After setting the Window Animation to 1x, this mod became smooth and less abrupt and therefore more pleasing.

These are really nice, good find indeed, thank you

That might have something to do with what kernel you're running.

Blinkfeed keeps on working in backround no matter what...

I flashed the clean install rom which was offered by Scot in the android developer section. Not sure if it has anything to do with it or not... but even when i send blinkfeed to the trash can when i pinch the screen and drag it there, I notice in battery usage that it still keeps on draining my battery. not to mention it is doing the biggest drain...
anyone else bumped into this ?
( P.S : I dont think the flashed clean rom has anything to do with it. its a rom to just remove all the verizon blotwear etc... )
Edit :
does it effect battery life if my unlocked htc on m8 is on global settings for call network ?

What launcher are you using? The default launcher is blinkfeed.
