I have this reoccurring issue. It seems to happen after installing apps or certain apps.
Everything is working fine and affter I install some app from the market link in my e-mail stop working and I can't add pics to my contacts. Seem as if the little chooser pop-op (to add pics from the market or take a pic/ or to shoose with browser to use) doesn't appear. The background grays out but the picker never pops up. Seem to only happen after I've installed app and reboot.
I guess the app are somehow breaking these functions. I think App stacker and Cover Art Downloader are two of the offending apps (also some live wall papers).
Anyone else?
I've wiped my tablet about five times to day to fix this. Seems removing the app alone won't fix it.
I freaking afraid to add anymore apps to my Transformer now!
I'm unrooted and running the latest update and updated from 3.1 to 3.2 as soon as I got my tablet home yesterday.
The 3.2 update introduced a bug. For the email links, rotate the screen to make the app chooser list come up. Not sure about adding pics to contacts though, maybe someone else can chime in.

Thanks for the heads up.
I think it's the same bug. It just prevents the app chooser thing from poping up. Funny thing is it works at first. and breaks later on after a some re-boots.
Is this bug also present in the custom ROMs?

The bug is baked into 3.2. The bug reappears after a reboot.

well, I guess the work around will have to do for now.
I guess Google will eventually get around to fixing it.
Well 1st there is no Tune-in Radio......and now it looks like my YouTube subscriptions from foreign countries are not showing up, it shows that i have 1 subscription, when open folder i see 2, and in reality on youtube.com i have 4
also i know there is a fix, but the lack on "settings" button is ridiculous, it doesnt even properly work in Google apps.
you mean FM Radio? It's there.

On my T-Mobile One S, Tune-in Radio is listed in the apps on the phone but is not listed in the app drawer.
However, it does have a widget, which can be added to the home screen.
I have no clue why they did it this way.
FM Radio is different that what the OP was talking about.
Another bug i noticed, cant share pictures with Picasa, i get "failed to retrieve account info" msg
this is while Pisaca sync works fine by the way, but i dont wanna sync, i always used SHARE option
also Geniewidget hourly weather results in FC.
Unfortunatly I was stupid enough not to do Nandroid backup and I cant test if thats my ROM or even stock ROM has those issues.
But development is SO slow on this, we dont even have stock ROM yet which I can flash.
I only have Nandroid of ROM with removed bloat and I still get ALL issues above

-------------------
i have noticed this also .. it was there when i first got the phone and after some PLay Store updates now its not listed in the app drawer..personally i havent used the app before and dont really know if i were to root it if i would keep the app since i dont use it but i noticed it was gone the other day..
same thing happen to me last night when I got my one s
I updated tune in through google play store and the app icon is nowhere to be seen and I cant open it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but did not work.
I use this app everyday on my drive to and from work. I listen to 1310 sports talk radio in Dallas since I was relocated to Houston and I cant go without listening to this station!
I broke down and bought the tune in pro app and it works great and I have an icon.. something is definitely wrong with the included tune in app from T-Mobile..

Its not on the app drawer because its a widget. If a widget doesn't have settings it doesn't have a icon in app drawer. Some app just don't show up on app drawer like homescreen launchers. It's installed, but you can't get to It.

Its not a widget, Tune-In Radio is an app. Tmobile screwed up launcher settings. Work around it to use Nova or Apex launchers, they both work great.

Thanks.....maybe its ICS issue. All my subscriptions work fine on GB G2x
Same problem here. I don't care much because the only reason I discovered it was clearing off photos before returning my phone. Disappointed, crossing fingers better luck with Galaxy S III.
found this apk floating around xda.
can't remember the original OP I snagged it from.
no need to flash.
no need to push.
just install the APK.

working for me on touchwiz rom(mf9).
enjoy.

Still really buggy, for some reason the panorama crashes the app and the last video Ive tried recording showed it was recording but it didnt. SSo be careful if you plan on using this as your daily camera app.

yea its still in testing according to cm..
installing the apk does not replace your current camera though so no worries really..
still fun to check out and mess around with!

Yea its definitely fun to play around with. Dont get me wrong, when the bugs are ironed out this is going to be far superior than the stock camera ui. Im going to make the switch for sure, but as it is right now I thought Id let peeps know that you may not get the video you think your recording when using this.
not working for me! app starts, all options are there, but no picture - no back nor front camera view. help? original post?
This happened to me a few times, but it always FC'd when I tried to exit out and after restarting it worked again.

try clearing the apps data
:what:
Works for me in pacman alpha cm10.2-android 4.3. Had to clear data first now works perfectly.
It wasn't this apk. Just came in the rom.

Extremely Buggy
Will be my favorite camera app when it works. All kinds of problems. Sometimes clearing the data works, but the next time I want to use it, I have to clear the data again. But even so, it may or may not work... If you open the picsphere deal, then close it, and try to open it again, it won't open. The settings allow you to change them, but they don't change the image at all (unless the data clearing works...). It also should allow us to save to SD card. I use the version(s) deployed with CM Nightlies. I wish they would give this some love... They may be working on it, however, the change logs don't reflect any updates... Please make this app stable!
Using CM10.2 Nightlies on Sprint Galaxy S 4...
This app is now available in the google play store in beta form. I have to say it's pretty good, not quite ready for prime time but definitely puts the stock camera app to same in many places.

Only issue on my end is that the pictures are warped. Both cameras seem like they have a fish-eye effect.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Great beta app! This will be great when completed! I just downloaded the beta from the play store (since it's not included in CM any longer) and it's still super buggy... So, is there any recommended course of action to clear any data that may cause issues for users? I read somewhere to simply clear the data via app settings and reboot, but it didn't help with my in-app settings issue. Basically, I can change the exposure setting, yet the image does not change at all. I also attempt to change the white balance, yet the change never applies to the image. Every once in awhile, the app will mysteriously work, until I close out of that particular instance. Then it reverts to the preformentioned state...
I've been hesitant to make this my default camera because I kept having issues with it and photo sphere is broken. ;/
^ don't dig up old threads. Focal is on the Play Store.

Hi
Seems like Google Photo's is hard coded to be the default picture viewer.
If you install something else you are not prompted to choose the new default as you would expect.
Disabling google photo's and trying to force new default doesn't work either.
Perhaps with future ROM?
Anything anyone achieved without root etc. till now? Thanks.
Reorienting back and recent keys seems like a no go either, what do people do to get round that?
Thanks for any tips already.

Tryna different camera. Counterintuitive? Maybe. Probably. Definitely. But you will get the option that you want.
But this has ALWAYS been the case with HTC. I have installed the HTC camera app on other phones, and it was imperative to have the HTC Gallery app to be able to review the photos after they are taken. I know that it's a different gallery app that we are taking about, but I think have the Camera App is the real issue here. The app defines the default photos app.
I may be wrong, but that's something that I discovered a while back.

You could use a custom rom like leedroid, there you can define your favorite app for pictures and it will launch from the camera.
And you can use custom roms without root.

Sure I know about that, it was just a hint to the right direction.
There are some very good guides for it.
What if you sideload the old Gallery app?

install htc album from apk mirror, then disable the google photos app. It should default to htc album then.
It should but it doesn't, and I don't know why... When I disable google photos and install htc gallery nothing hapens when I try to open photos from camera.
Any fix for this yet?
Would love to see a fix too!
I got around all the little issues with Photos by disabling that app.
Then got "QuickPic" from Google Play and made it Gallery app in it's settings.
Aggravation instantly gone. Works fine without giving an argument about everything.

on our rom you can pick any gallery app as preview album in the camera app.
I've tried many apps as I've never really used Google photos before and had no luck with any. But I've started to like it now. Especially since they added opening straight to albums in the settings.
I'm looking for black themed apps specifically for like Gmail. I've come across in GB insta YouTube vanced and even face Slim. Those have been great, still looking for a decent email application with a black theme. If anyone knows the best apps to get on f-droid share them here.
I'm interested to see who considers what app to be good and why. Also there was a YouTube alternative app that allowed downloading app videos what was that app called? I'm sure someone on here will know.

I think the YouTube you're thinking of is called OG YouTube.
As for black email clients, I've been using the Samsung one. It's a little different to get used to but not bad.
Bromite, open source Chromium without Google's crap, if you care about that
Newpipe, very lightweight YouTube client with downloads and dark mode.

Check out YouTube Vanced - it's the regular YouTube client but with all the ads removed, has black mode, background play, and a lot more features! It's basically the way YouTube should have been designed in the first place!

i second that. youtube vanced all the way. been using it since my s8+. can't be any happier
even though download doesn't actually work for me. never seen the option even
so i use snaptube along with it
For email im using TypeApp which has a dark theme and fairly customizeable appearance and can support multiple email accounts. Its not on f-droid however so if you dont have/want to use google play store you may be able to find the APK for it online.
If you use the hex theme creator it sets gmail background to whatever you themed background colour to.

If you personalise, setup the colours and settings you want. Then at the bottom build theme. Once that has finished, go to theme store and apply the hex theme.
Gmail, Google Photos, Play store and some others will theme.
The only issue I have found is multiple accounts in gmail I have to select the account swipe out of the app and back in every time I change account.

Interesting, I'll have a thorough look at the app hopefully it's as simple as you make it out to be. Cuz it comes packaged with two apps one being the theme selection store and then one of your own personal customisation. Also do you have to reapply the themes after every boot up? Or after every update do you have to uninstall each overlays like substratum if you wish to update?

Forget to mention that you need to turn on night mode in the hex app.
No the theme stays there all the time, when you make changes though, it seems that you have to apply the default theme then apply hex theme again.
