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.

Its weird though a lot of the games will work right after install but a few days later is when they begin to stop.

Infuse Roms?

Hello everyone i just signed up and i own a Samsung Infuse 4G and ive been flashing some roms on it lately and i want to know in your opinion what is the best rom.
i tried zeus, and i like it but i hate build 5.2 and build 6, because of the fact that wallpapers do not scroll. live wallpapers do, but static ones do not. I love build 3 fixed for ZEUS because it has scrollable wall papers and the app drawer is transparent. i dont like the black background when looking through my apps i like it see through.
but, being build 3 it freezes quite a bit. i tried CM7, didnt like it. i want to try something else.
I hate flashing roms and testing them because every time i restore it gives me an error saying "No sdcard/.android.secure Found. Skipping restore of SD card apps." so i have to re install 1 by 1 the apps with titanium backup and its really annoying. once i reach my 10 post mark i will start to post in the developers thread but this is all i can do now.
in a rom in need stability, no freezing no non working elements, all that.
clean, simple and crisp.
no dumb animations to lag the os and use mass ram. clean simple and fast. id even use gingerbread with touchwiz 4.0 like on the samsung galaxy s 2 skyrocket LTE that has a very good stock OS. maybe there is a way to put that on my infuse? I want to try s.u.r.f.a.c.e. rom but that's a hard way to flash it
any suggestions?

You can always Port your own ROM. Just saying.

If all you don't like about ZEUS is the launcher's look, then you can use one of the alternative launchers available off Market... err Play... or whatever Google is calling its new and improved more privacy breaking app download thing.
Off hand, the two I can think of are GOLauncher and PhoenixLauncher. I currently use GOLauncher on ZEUS and like it quite a bit, plus it's free. I think I'm going to give PhoenixLauncher a go after some of the bugs are worked out.

I agree, and also I'd recommend GoLauncher as I use it on Zeus build 5.2 and love it. Give it a Try!

I don't like those launchers iv tried them, I like touch wiz 4 which Zeus build 3 has, so I am using this for now.
Has anyone flashed the s.u.r.f.a.c.e rom?

Yerp on the surface rom...super lite...has lots of add on apps...smooth,stable....

The reason that wallpapers don't scroll is a SAMSUNG issue, not a Zeus issue, a change they made in the new gb leaks, so they wont change, on any rom built from that leak. Build 3 is no more and outdated, so if you don't want another launcher I suggest keeping build 3 because I removed it from the server. And tw 4 is way too buggy and unstable, that's why it was removed and will not return.

Alright thanks,
And now I understand that about Zeus,
But anyway great job with it its still an awesome rom. I'll try to flash s.u.r.f.a.c.e
How can I flash surface from my current position (Zeus build 3 with the ruxk kernel)?
Thanks for your replies

Well I'm currently running Z.E.U.S Rom Build 6. When I was stock GB (for the short time that was) I used the TouchWizz 4.5 Launcher, and I'm using it now. Scrollable wallpapers plus you can flash icon themes. Here is the XDA Thread Link:

From what i understand...its bad to restore all apps from TB, as some may not be compatible with other roms due to missing or added files
At least if your restoring the data part too

[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

Bump

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

Stock ICS or JB Browser on XT926

I have been trying to find a web browser that I like & unfortunately Chrome isn't cutting it for my everyday browser. I am coming from a HTC Rezound where it automatically take you to the full website (desktop view) without changing the settings every time. I also miss Adobe Flash when visiting sites like ESPN, but could possibly live without, maybe.
Anyway, the question here is, does anyone know how to load one of the other browsers on the Droid RAZR HD (XT926)? Looking for something like what is stock on the VZW Galaxy Nexus now.
Or is there another browser that is secure that you all would recommend? Tried Opera (way too slow) and Firefox (wouldn't pull up desktop even when selected).
By the way, I am rooted running stock JB with bloat froze in case that makes a difference how or what to try.
Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

give me a few hours and ill have some stuff for you to try and see what fits you best

Opera..slow? Are we talking opera mobile or opera mini as there is one major difference between the two.
If you want the old stock browser just find a ROM with it, unzip the ROM, grab the browser apk and install it. You may need to place it in /system/app/ and set the permissions.

I tried Opera Browser, not the Mini. Also I did try loading the browser from a friends Nexus into the /system/app but it didn't want to work. Perhaps I was using the wrong permissions or the apk was set up differently.
Never thought about extracting from a ROM. Will definitely try it if you can let me know the appropriate permissions.
Thanks all!

So I downloaded another ROM, extracted the browser apk, wouldn't install so I move it & changed the permissions to rw/r/r & it still is not working.

[Q] Finally Got My Note 10.1

New thread further down the list! SWEET!
I got this tablet for school, trying to go paperless. I came from TF-101, now my wife's, so I know how things work. My question is, what is the best most stable Rom for this device? I like customizable roms but stability is a must. Any ideas out there?
I tired Omega but had problems connecting to my schools wifi, we have to use a third party app to connect, went back to stock and no problems.
Also, whats the best keyboard and word document for this bad [email protected]# machine?
pbaldw10

Unfortunately there is no specific one rom.. U will have to try a few roms and see what fits the best.
Omega rom has been the best for me, but very slow with updates..
Keyboard - best is the default one but lacks spell check.( there is a mod available in this forum) . I use swiftkey for typing and default for handwriting..
Word document -i like officesuite pro but Many like polaris , etc are good too

Im starting to think just leave well enough alone. I love it so far and each day I find something new. Tried Omega and collection v6. Stock seems to be the best so far.
Any ideas on dock able keyboards and can I use a mouse with this. Im thinking full laptop replacement.
S- pen is nice, but sometimes you just have to type.
Ps
Odin is awesome, its like flahing roms and restoring is completely encouraged.

A word app you might want to give a try is CloudOn, a free app that is as close as makes no difference a full MS word and Excel for your tablet. It's not perfect and it lags a bit (at least here in Europe, maybe it's because it's webbased and the servers are in the US) but it has the advantages that all equations, tables, pi pictures, figures and so on you have in your document is displayed properly.

try redemption rom :good:

First off congratulations on the note 10.1 !. Personally I would stick with stock, maybe root it, debloat it and enjoy. There are a lot of great roms out there but there are a lot that suffer from weird quirks and glitches, Also I would advise against using any custom kernels or overclocking as they have a tenancy of causing crashes in my experience

I'll second CloudOn, and also second the lagging. If you need to do some serious work in Excel, I don't thing it can be beat. Else you can usually find me in Google docs for first stays of papers, notes and things like that.
As for keyboards, I picked up a Microsoft wedge bluetooth keyboard and couldn't be happier. I found a new in box item on eBay for $45 shipped, in stores I think they are closer to the 60-70 range.

Nothing against any developer, but without source code hard to get perfect results. Most very good considering.

+1 to Papyrus.
As I just got this tablet a few days ago, still undecided whether I want to keep it or not, the smaller development kinda surprised me.

If you're using it to replace paper for school, you're best off with a rooted stock rom so you can do multiwindow everything but keep everything stable. Also, lecture notes + dropbox => golden notes.

Indeed, but what he is asking for is something stable and stock imo is the most stable, not saying there are not good roms out there, but the last thing he needs is his note crashing after have written a Bunch of stuff for school

You missed my first post, "the best rom is already on it".

Correct. The standard firmware is very stable.
I use lecturenotes to take handwritten notes it also allows you (with the extra plugins) to record the audio while you make your notes. You can even record the audio plus a video of the notes so you can play it back after.
Another small recommendation, if you like mind maps simpleminds is great.
