[Q] No YouTube

My Nexus S is on 2.3.3 and I wiped everything on it so I can start fresh again. For some odd reason my YouTube doesn't work anymore. I see the app under manage apps & "all" but does not have an icon in my app drawer. Anyone have any idea how to resolve this?

Uninstall it and then re-download it from the market.

It doesn't even give me an option to. Under market and YouTube, I see the "Open" icon but its not highlighted. It won't let me open through there. You think downloading the same version of it and trying to install it would work?

Go to manage apps and then go to YouTube and uninstall from there.

[MOD]CM9 Alpha 5 hide voicemail notification

Seems like some of us are stuck with these persistent voicemail notifications when we aren't on a touchwiz rom. CM7 let you hide these but CM9 does not.
Until a more official solution comes along this mod simply patches framework-res.apk to use a 1x1 transparent png in place of the standard notification.
Thanks goes to [s89281b, || Acer ||] from the cm9 thread for suggesting removing this icon or blacking it out. I tried removing but that caused the phone app to force close which led me to use a transparent image which should look fine for most situations.

I don't actually think you need to wipe anything for this to work but it never hurts to wipe cache and dalvik cache. Also make a backup before flashing this.
Thanks to tbob18 for putting together a script to auto kill your phone app at boot up. Combine his script with my mod and you have a completely automated solution for dismissing that pesky notification.

Theoretically the program Autostart (Root) would be a great way to combine these two mods into one cwm flashable zip but it seems the app app does not work on ICS... And every time I tried to do it with preconfiguring script manager, it always force closed :/
I will keep looking into combining these two mods as I would love to make it a little easier.
Also thanks to a454nova for pointing out that if you force stop the phone app it will remove the notification and the icon until you reboot. I still like having icon modded to be clear so action isn't required after a reboot until you want to remove the notification.
Oh and I am not responsible for anything... at all... ever... unless it was good, that stuff is all my fault.

Yeah I forgot to mention if somethings missing it won't work properly

Thanks. Just flashed and working. Voicemail icon is gone. You will still have notification in pulldown but that's not annoying like icon. At least for me.

Yes, the notification will remain. Like you said its the status bar icon that bugs me the most as well.

Hmm, this might make me more willing to use CM9, however I've been hearing a lot of people are having battery issues. It's great that we have a temporary fix though and I'll be sure to use this method in updated versions.
I'm wondering if it's possible to locate the "Hide VM Notifications" feature in CM7, and try to port it over ourselves? I don't really have the experience, but it would be pretty helpful and would get rid of the notification in the dropdown menu as well.

Go into Titanium Backup, backup and uninstall the phone app. (I backed up the "Voicemail" [Phone 4.0.3...] and deleted it)
this will clear the voice mail anything...
restore the app and your good!
mine is gone, my brothers came back after he restarted. He just did it again and hasn't had an issue.

Click the ALL tab and go down to "Phone" and click it.

You will have to do this after every time you restart. A little easier than Titanium Backup. Haven't had issues yet and all seems to work perfect.

Works perfectly for me. Flashed the hiding notification too, in case I have to restart & forget to force stop Phone afterwards.

I was having this issue too, so I looked and noticed I had Sprint VVM still installed and not from a backup. I opened it and it said I had a new voicemail that couldn't be downloaded. I held the back button to kill the app, ???, profit!, vm notification is now gone...

That's not the type of notification this mod addresses. On non android phones your voicemail notification comes from a specially formatted text message sent from the carrier to your phone. No its not that funky one you get when visual voicemail isn't installed either. Its a class 0 message in cshp format that triggers your message waiting indicator. Its a relic left over from voicemail systems that were used before we got android phones that were not cleared out. Touchwiz roms ignore them but aosp roms do not because some carriers use them.

You say they are from an old system. The only phone I have ever had on sprint is android. Yet I still have six phantom vm. So either its still in use or it has carried over from before I was on sprint with the number I was given.
I really don't understand why its there. But ill see if Google can help. If you have direct resource pages I would appreciate it.

did your previous android phone on sprint have visual voicemail? If not perhaps that is the reason.
The message waiting indicator stuff in android SMS message is where this is happening. CPHS is the format.

Camera app disappeared

Hi, I'm new in this forum and also I'm a new android user. I got this phone yesterday and it came with the 4.1.2 update, it is working fine and all, but today something strange happened, my phone freezes up while I was watching a video, it rebooted itself and then, the camera app was gone, and the gallery app also seems to have disappeared, although they both appear on the settings/apps menu. I would like to know what can I do to solve this, please as I don't understand this system well.

Are you using a custom launcher? Most custom launches have the ability to hide apps in the app drawer. Check in the launcher settings for an unhide option.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Go to the app menu where you see the apps. Touch and hold your finger on the app for a second or 2 that you want back on one of your home pages. The home pages should show up and simply drag the app where ever you want it. Move your apps around like this and you can change the apps on the bar on the bottom of the screen the same way.

Thank you for the suggestion but it didn't work out. Unfortunately, I didn't had any other choice but to factory reset my device and now I have the camera back, but thank you for the fast answer!

[Q] Slow Share menu

Since the most recent update, my Share menu takes a long time to come up when I share a link from apps. Apps I can duplicate the issue with (because I use them all the time) are Reddit Sync Pro and Reddit Now, but it seems to be system-wide. It takes a good 5-10 seconds for the share menu to come up.
I cleared Dalvik and cache and the issue persists. Once, I took a screenshot and when I tapped "share" in the notification shade, it rebooted the phone. Is anyone else experiencing anything like this? There's nothing else weird on my phone. I don't have Xposed or anything. It's just rooted.
I installed the application "appchooser" as a replacement for the system app chooser and now it's back to being fast like it was, but I'm trying to confirm whether or not anyone else has seen this issue after the update, as it's definitely something i have never seen before.

No issues here
I just performed the same steps and my share menu options come up for me instantly, but the only options I have beside the default are Skype and LINE. I would suggest trying to uninstall the Reddit apps, then try again and see if it's still slow. If that resolves it, I would write to the developer of the Reddit app and make them aware of the behavior.

Thanks. The thing is, it was coming up instantly in both apps before the Cyanogenmod update. And it's weird that it wouldn't affect a share app replacement like appchooser.

Quite... I'm on 30O as well. It's a rather bizarre issue isn't it. Nonetheless, I'd try what I recommended first. This is the troubleshooting process mate. It's a process of elimination.

I have two One's both updated to 4.4.4 and both share functions are messed up. It's definitely the software. Here's how I came to that conclusion. One of my phones is stock everything, no mods and or root. I took the ota the conventional way. The share feature no matter what app I'm using displays an black screen. The second phone is modded, rooted, custom recovery, and it was updated manually using Caulk's modded files. Its share function does exactly the same thing as the non modded phone does. It worked fine on 4.4.2

Well that's quite bizarre then. I have unlocked, rooted, with OTA 30O and my sharing functionality works just fine. I've shared several things since my update as well.
Report the issue on the official CM site so the developers can look into it.

You should be able to set it as your default app chooser. I did.

I have been trying to find that option in settings but don't see it, I see the set SMS app. Usually on a TW or non CM ROM it always asks you the default app but it didn't ask me. Maybe I'll try clearing defaults and see if that helps.

Nah. The first time you share something after you install it, you should have the "always" and "just once" options.

Strange because Google Chrome doesn't give me that option. I understand what your saying. What I did was installed a different browser and sure enough it asked which default app I wanted to use. So I cleared Chrome and same as before it doesn't ask me for the default app. So I think it might be the updated chrome.

OK, so honest question... What's wrong with the built-in chooser? I mean, what's the advantage to using a third-party one? I generally prefer to run as close to native as possibly for performance reasons and to avoid bugs just like this one.

Did you read ANY of the thread? The bug is in the stock chooser, at least for us. We're only using a third party one to circumvent the bug.
To answer your question, the only real advantage otherwise is that you can remove things you don't want to see on your share menu. So, if you NEVER share to Google+, for instance, you can remove it so it doesn't show up as an option. You can restore these later, if you want them back.

Nice! Glad you got it working. I use Chrome Beta as my default browser.

I misunderstood then because I thought it was the app you were having issues with. In that case, I refer back to my first reply. I am also using the stock chooser and have not had this issue after updating, so it seems it's not universal. For whatever reason you guys got the bug while I did not.

It's amazing how much damage theming does. It even causes issues with Play Store.

Yeah, sadly there are some issues, but this is the biggest I found.
How long does the share menu need to show up on your phones? On my OPO it needs about 1 sec in chrome and under 1 sec in every other app.
I have a feeling that the menu opened quicker before...

I'm having this issue too and its so frustrating. It started happening when I updated to Marshmallow. I'm using the default theme, so it's probably not what causes it for me. Sharing from Youtube isn't slow though, but that's a different menu I guess.
Any suggestions?
