Does anyone else at this? Just got my Bacon today and as soon as I started to move in a new game it crashes.
Tried it on stock ROM as well as Paranoid Android.
Curious of anyone else has that problem.
*edit....new update has resolved the issues*
Are you happening to be using ART?
No, using Dalvik.
I just installed the game and yup, it just closed right away as I started to move. Its the game causing the problem, contact the developers. Provide them with a logcat too.
Awesome thank you!
Started poking around build.prop and seeing what default features were configured and noticed the screen dpi is set to 480, but the natural dpi is 401?!?
SO I changed it to 401, saved and rebooted, now Respawnables works! And the entire OS looks much better because everything is nice and small!
Thats odd because I use 380 and it crashed.
Yeah I should have waited longer...it crashes after 15 seconds

So i was playing around with diffrent DPI, i had it set to 160 and it worked great sure added a bunch of space. Then i went to try what it would look like at 140. Reboot and now the launcher will not startup. =(
So now I am lost in how to try and change the DPI setting or open any other app. I was able to open the browser from the keyboard shortcut and that is how i am posting now.
Any tips other than a full reset. I am running the 9.4.5.26 and am only rooted so far with some build prop edits.
And 140 would make the text larger than 160 correct?
I saw someone say they set it to 200, wow that would be some tiny text if i am thinking right.

Install Nova Launcher via the market, it works across all the DPI I've tried.
160 resulted in text which was too small for my eyes, I ended up with 200, so halfway between the original 240 and 160.
First off i would like to say that I should have not been playing around with stuff after a 20 hour work day!
So i soft bricked my device after only having it for 4 days. It will only get to the asus boot screen with the loading circle. I can't really remember what all i did. It is not seen when i do adb devices but the computer does make a connect sound when i plug it in.
Time to do a bunch of searching around to see what i can do, or if any of you can point me in the direction it would be greatly appreciated!
Well I had to do a SD card reinstall of the os firmware. Time to just through all my set up hoops again.
To unlock or not to unlock that is the question...
So what DPI's does the stock launcher work at. I just did 200 and it doesn't run.
(don't mind me i am just talking to the internet out loud)

I think it's been said that the stock launcher doesn't work with other dpis. Next time load up an alternate launcher.

Are you still running the stock launcher? Because, if you are, the stock launcher tends to not work once you change the DPI.
You should first have a look at a 3rd party launcher (Go Launcher HD, Nova, etc.)
Change the DPI after setting up one of those launchers and you should be good to go!

That's okay! I know how frustrating it might be when no-one replies
Luckily, a lot of the members of xda are really helpful and always try their best to spread their knowledge!
When i set the dpi to 160 the stock launcher came up fine on first boot. but then did not work when i set to either 140 or 200. After i did the full reinstall i noticed a few ways that i could have gotten in and changed the build.prop file, but live and learn.
So far from the little i have tried other launchers I over all like the stock one.
Its nice to be able to have an android device that is not my phone that i have to make sure works all the time.

Hello all,
I'm having some issue with the Google Play Music app force-closing. Every time I start it, it FCs within 5 seconds and I can't do anything with it. I was originally on the vanilla version of it, but over the weekend I switched to the inverted color scheme version found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231787
In hopes that it might fix the problem. Unfortunately, that was not the case.
I've tried uninstalling and rebooting the vanilla version and the inverted one, I've tried wiping the cache and Dalvik, all to no avail. And I can't find any threads on the issue for the recent version of the app. Can anybody help?

Need more info like rom. I haven't had this problem at all because I don't play music on my phone, but my bf did. I put slim on his phone and play music did this very thing. He was fed up so told me to put it back to stock and no issues anymore. don't know what the problem was.
Definitely need some more info on what ROM you're using. Downloaded the app from the playstore and it's working fine on slimbean. Have you changed DPI on your phone, that is s common factor with apps fc'ring.

I knew I forgot something in the OP. I'm on the 4.2.2 version of PAC-man. If I recall correctly mine is the 22.1.0 version, flashed it two weeks ago.
I didn't think about the DPI, I'll give it a go.

I tried playing with the DPI in the PA settings, and sure enough it closed if I changed it from default. But, it only FCs in portrait orientation. If I use the application in landscape, it works fine. In addition, it only FCs at the all music menu when in portrait mode. And the music is still playing even after the FC... I'm quite thoroughly confused as to what could be the issue. Also I have reset to default DPI and it's still behaving this way.

Hi all,
I have had my Nexus 5 phone for a few weeks now and I love it.
Before that I owned a Galaxy S2, running on CM10.2 with Dorimanx Kernel with Nova Launcher.
I really love the N5, it really is a beast and answers most of my expectations.
However, I have recently been confronted to a problem : my homescreen widgets are not syncing/updating anymore...
Not much of them though :
- Beautiful Weather 4 x 2
- Stock Agenda 2 x 3 redimensioned at 4 x 3
- Today 4 x 2 redimensioned at 4 x 3
Before that I also tried on my N5 : Dashclock + Widget Locker and some extensions for Whatsapp, Google Music, Hangouts, Gmail, etc...
Lockscreen widgets worked fine and were correctly synced and updated.
I have noticed that my homescreen widgets are only updated once : when I set them up or when I turn on my device. After a few seconds they stop updating. Even the update button in some widgets does not work.
This is really annoying as I really like my N5 and this is really bothering me.
I have searched through all the web and through the forum and I have not found anything useful. I have tried uninstalling all these apps and reinstall them. I have tried installing them one at a time and it does not work.
I have seen your N5 homescreens in the forum and it makes me jealous as they are really looking good and rely on synced widgets.
Has anyone got a clue ?
Thank you all very much.
Marc
Hi all,
Just a quick update : I have installed Nova Launcher 2.3 Beta and all my widgets seem to be working fine in Nova Environment. Well synced and updated.
Has anyone kept the default Nexus 5 launcher (Google Experience) and observed the widgets are not syncing ?
I have tried to reset the Launcher by going into the app details and stopping the app and resetting the cache and data. It still does not work.
The weird thing is that I seem to be the only one experiencing this issue as I really have not found the problem stated elsewhere. Or maybe for other devices and particular widgets but I have tried all the solutions and none worked.
Are you running Google Experience on your N5 and are you having these issues ?
I do like Google Experience feel and is there another way to reset it ?
Do you have any clues on how to debug this ?
Otherwise, do you know where I can post this problem and find help ? Is there any Google support for this Launcher ?
Thank you all so much for your help !!

Same issue here...
EDIT
After fighting that problem for 2 days without any luck (tried restarts, reinstalled beautiful widgts, widgetoid etc.) the problem is gone now after posting yesterday into this thread.
Nice.
The only thing that changed since then is that i deinstalled tapatalk - but I can hardly reproduce the problem or solution...
Really a small chance but maybe the OP has tapatalk installed too?
Hi licht,
Thanks for your feedback though you are right, I don't know how I can reproduce your solution.
And by the way, after a successful day on Nova the problem has appeared on Nova now !!
So I guess this isn't launcher related...
There is a pb with Kit Kat somewhere...
How could I debug this ? What is the process responsible for updating home screen widgets ?
Thanks to the community !
OK I've had this problem too.. Very occasionally.. But it's happened in holo launcher..
A restart fixes it..
And I do have tapatalk installed too though am not sure it's related

Hi letmedanz,
Thanks for sharing.
I have done the restart, of the widgets, of the launcher and of the phone...
I just don't get why it works and then just stops working...
I wish I could find the process responsible for the update and my monitor it.
Thanks anyway.
Having the same issue, i guess it's only a few of us. Have you tried reflashing stock img? i might give that a go.
Actually, on Nova it runs just fine. I think I'll just keep Nova. I'm too lazy to reflash...

Hmmmm don't care for nova, unnecessary memory usage. I thought you said earlier it wasn't a launcher issue?
Will try to solve it tomorrow, perhaps it is as simple as wiping cache? Will keep you guys' updated.
You are right to point that out because I thought it was also not t refreshing on Nova. But it actually did, and for some time now it runs fine.
Thanks for trying it. I'll be checking your results in here.
The only modification i have done is installed AdAway other than that i am stock. Oh i also have gravity screen off installed.
I found out I had this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=spinninghead.talkingstopwatchlite running in the background still doing a timer, so many hours! =]
Exited it and now my widgets refresh. Can anyone explain how this app would get in the way of the widgets updating?? =\
problem solved
My nexus 5 block sync all widgets:
The solution is, deinstall phone weaver!
Sören
What is Phone Weaver ? Is it a specific program ? Because I don't have it.
I thought it was the stopwatch app i had running causing widget freezes, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Widgets are still refusing to refresh. Will flash 4.4.2 (clean install) hopefully that helps.
Issue is well documented here http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=28216
See if this works for you guys https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/nexus/uu27aDrcwFs/9L9JRo6kXqkJ

I've found solution which works for me. I hope it could help others as well.
all that I did is ran in CMD:
adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity
after this nexus asked for locale and name again. Then I've put back my widgets.
I had no problems about a week.
Please, notice that it could be done at your own risk!
I tried the above and it seems to be working so far. Post your results =]
So i have found a temporary fix without needing to reboot.
I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.systempanel.r1 to kill all processes and tasks, the widgets start to work! The bug will occur again most likely.
Now when the bug does occur again i just have to go kill the process/task 1 by 1 to figure out which one resets the widgets, probably google search (launcher)
This must confirm there is conflict with ram! any insight?!
Anyone figured out a solution that does not involve booting, restarting the phone or manually running an app? that is no permanent fix. and this is extremely disappointing.
I'm running Screw'd with PA Gapps beta 01/11 version, with DPI changed to 346. Maps FC's about 2 secs after I open it. I think it might have been working on stock DPI. I've run many different ROMs with reduced DPI and Maps works just fine. Waze works fine so I know it's not a GPS issue.
Anyone seen this and know how to fix? I hate the stock DPI setting, it's way too large and I also like to have 6 icons in my menu bar at the bottom of the GEL home screen.
Try xposed and app settings module. You can change dpi per app. Change whatever you want to and just leave Maps on stock dpi.
Tho, if that rom is Lollipop, xposed won't work.
Yeah that ROM is lollipop.

Then apparently maps doesn't like your dpi.... Keep trying different ones maybe til it's fine. You may not need to go all the way to stock dpi. ?
Yeah good call I'll try this tomorrow. Thanks!

Google apps like certain dpi more than others and they seem to be multiples of 80. Try 320.
Did not know that. Thanks I'll give that a shot

That worked, briefly, then it started crashing again. Can anyone help determine what's up via these logcats? The first is with "maps" in the filter (using the Catlog app), the 2nd is without any filters. These were recorded the other day but same issue with crashing.

Did maps flash with the gapps or did you download it from the play store? I always flash minimal gapps and run DPI at 340 with no issues. I would wipe map data delete or uninstall it and try to download it fresh. You could also delete it from sdcard /android/ data/ maps and see what it does?

Maps flashed as part of gapps. I will try these and circle back...

Just got my Edge 7 for VZW and I'm loving it! :good:
One thing which bothered the hell out of me is the Font size. This phone looked like it was designed for blind people. Even after setting the smallest font, everything is setup so big. Everything appears huge. Did some googling, and came across this tip to change the DPI settings..now the phone looks much more appealing. VZW edition doesn't have root yet, so this is a great workaround to change the DPI.

The link isn't loading for me for whatever reason, but if this is the method that requires adding an action to Nova Launcher, this works wonderful. And for those of you like me that are thinking "but I don't like Nova Launcher", once it is changed you can uninstall Nova and your DPI settings will stay even after reboots. It stays until you change it back or do a factory reset.
