Multiple Icons for same application on CDMA Hero

Hey, not exactly sure about posting in the right sub forum but i have a little issue
i am currently using a CDMA Hero for Sprint and everything has been going well after fixing the battery issue with a different messaging app, but now a new little annoying issue has arised.
lately when i have opened my menu bar for all my apps i have been getting multiple icons for the same apps
Examples such as Bonsai Blast and Teeter have 2 icons right next to each other that are the same. They both work but its kinda annoying
also some of the applications names are incorrect. instead of ChompSMS its titles is now com.p1.chompsms along with Google Voice being voicemail.xxx... etc
i have tried searching the forums quite a bit and haven't quite found an answer for this issue and am not sure if it applies to the GSM version (thinking it might be a bug for Sense UI)
anyone have the same issue?
i have tried reinstalling the applications and rebooting and it still keeps happening. (not really wanting to hard reset...)
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks!

you are not alone, yeah for i have two print voicemail apps one with a long com..... something same with google sky and google voice app its odd but hey hopefully we will get eclair soon

I don't think it is the Sense UI. I think it is Android. They show the long namsspace name for the application...and some apps show other weird names as well. It happens when you reboot the phone, at least for me. I think it has to do with the way the apps register themselves when the phone boots. Or it may be sloppy programming in the manifest files. Not sure.

Having the same issues. Google Sky will actually show up as the first application, and titled something with about an End User Agreement. When launched it pops up the EUA and only option is a force close.
Not sure what is causing it either.

I had that happen also. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it fixed itself.

I bet if you reboot your phone the issue will return though...try it!!!
If that IS the case, see my post in this CDMA forum about app versions reverting. what has happened is that your app, in this case google sky, has reverted to an initial version, without telling you.

Just tested this and you are correct! Google Sky maps and Google Voice are the ones that do this for me.

I've confirmed that this app version reverting issue happens with at least 16 apps, not just the two Google apps you mention. I have a support question open with Google, so hopefully they can figure it out soon. It makes people think something else is wrong entirely.

I really think this now too,
so far i reinstalled Flixster Movies and Handcent SMS and when my phone reboots i get some different weird icon for both that are not the original ones.
also with the reboot, one of my original problems happens with the names of ChompSMS and Google Voice with their com.xxx.etc names
it has to be something changed on a reboot.

Google Dev group is on it. No fix yet though unfortunately:

Mercado, would you mind also informing them that a reboot also is causing apps to revert to their older versions? I think the problems are related. Thanks!

Oops! Sorry for making it sound like I am in on the android developer work. It is way over my head. Just thought I'd share a link I'd stumbled across. If it's kosher, perhaps you might want to share the url to your version reverting bug with that group. Not sure how that works.
In any case, it does seem like this is all related (missing icons, duplicate icons, renamed shortcuts, version issues, etc.). Unfortunately, it so far HTC has not acknowledged their role in the matter. Hopefully as the bug reports add up, they'll do something about it. Or, maybe they'll simply release Android 2.0 with Sense built in.

[MOD] Spotify tablet mode

Good evening!
If you're reading this, then you for sure know what Spotify is. We all love listening to music and, ugh, that's the synonym of Spotify!
Unfortunately, this work could be used for two fully opposite reasons, one of which is against the XDA rules, so I had no other choice but to close this thread (and remove links). I hope you understand me and sorry for the inconvenience.
Feel free to read the history below. It was a fun ride!
Time ago, the app landed on our lovely Android platform for both tablets and phones and honestly who wasn't excited?
Soon after, forced shuffle mode and limited number of skips were also introduced and I agree that there must be a reason to purchase Premium after all. Luckily, this restriction was not enabled on tablets, but a problem that appears is that far from all tablets are detected as ones - mainly the "smaller" ones. This [bug/miss-code] activates the restriction on your tablet, and as a fix was needed from either side, here was my solution.
This mod was created for all those "small tablets" that are incorrectly recognized so that you can use Spotify the way it was meant to be used.
ViRb3 said:
Regarding Facebook log in issue:
The signature/private hash (or not) of this app was not matching the original one Spotify had registered on Facebook. Absolutely understandable since this was a modified version.
As suggested by Romain12345 (thank you!), can you log in with your Facebook credentials instead of clicking on the "Log in with Facebook" button.

What!? I didnt know thats even possible! Spotify app for android got 100000x more useful for me. I can finally skip forever and even fast forward the music. Its sooo much better. You deserve a medal and million likes. :laugh:

Op pls can you upload this mode in a diff site cos mega is down. And secondly can you help me with little explanation as to how to install this or all I need is to just install the apk after the download. I haven't installed spotify b4 that's why . Thanks for the response in advance

MEGA is never down, it only needs the app for android if you want to download from phone. That's the reason I personally won't mirror.
About installing, you need to have "Unknown sources" enabled in your Security settings. Then just open the APK and install it as normal. If you still can't figure it out check YouTube for thousands of tutorials.

Server is down

Op u can as well check again, it's no longer a news that mega is down for now. You see people testifying. You can check up urself

@ViRb3 It doesn't work on gingerbread android again...
I think it's a problem of apk version because on Google play it was written that the version varies with device.
So please If you give me your email, I'll send the last apk version of spotify compatible with gingerbread to you.

OP I could possibly kiss you all day and it wouldn't be enough. Worked like a charm.
Also the server seemed to be down only in parts around the world. So anyone being unable to connect simply use a VPN. Works perfectly with a VPN.
Though it is currently up again.

Op finally I got it downloaded. Thanks so much but I have a question. Is it possible for me to download for offline for free with this mod?

CM 14.1 Google Camera crashing on startup

I like Cyanogenmod, but the big issue I have with it is it's 'incompatibility' with Google Camera; it crashes every time I open it.
On stock ROM (RUU) the camera works just fine. The main difference I notice just before it crashes is that it uses the new look as seen on the Pixel/Nexus phones.
The other issue is not being able to restore from a backup when setting it up.

Thanks. I didn't get a chance to post back yet, but I tried the paid version of Snap-HDR that I've owned for some time and it works okay after disabling the stock camera app. It works, so far as I can tell, but it had force-closed on me a couple of times. I might try wiping and reinstalling with a slim set of Gapps without the camera app. Then install Snap-HDR as the primary. It is MUCH better than anything CM or Google have introduced to date.
Will post back the results.

OG YouTube (non root)

Hey guys came across this site today with an updated OG YouTube. Works on non rooted devices such as my G950W.
https://www.official-plus.com/ogyoutube
Everything you need to get it running is there. Have fun!

I use TubeMate and always have done.

@thatsupnow
Wasn't OG YouTube discontinued due to Google sending the developer of the app a cease and desist? Who's the developer of this one?

Thanks for the link OP. I remember when the original Dev announced the discontinuation of this glorious app. I'm glad someone else picked it back up.
For those who want quick links:

Remember to first remove the original YouTube app (via ADB) and install MicroG first and then OG afterward.

Try videoder, its the best out there. You can directly download from yourube using share button. You can download 4k 60fps videos unlike tubemate etc. And also facebook videos, just click copy link, and you get a nice pop up for download

I loved OGYoutube and used till yesterday when I found the IYTBP app which is simpler and cleaner and updated. But it doesn't have features that og has such as swipe to change volume and skip forward or backward and also have a floating window.. And downloading capabilities (though I didn't really use that as TubeMate downloads are much faster because of acceleration). So OGYoutube isn't useless. Btw just a note, microg of one program needs to be uninstalled fro the new one to work. You need to search within you system apps to uninstall as it doesn't show up in apps.

Ogyoutube sometimes lags phone and causes problems later. I used it for yeqrs and have found snaptube to be much better and reliable

Remove ads completely

Hello! Sorry to bother you again, but I have a question about ads/publicity in the device.
A month or two ago I had oxigen 11, everything was working just fine, no ads, no problem at all.
But I made the mistake of update to 12. I didn't like it and then I downgrade to oxigen 11 again, only this time the phone has ads everywhere, on YouTube, redit, even the music player or the appstore.
Is there a way to remove ads? Using another rom or system? I know I can't remove ads from some apps, but is there a ad blocker on the phone or something like that?
For YouTube I was using vanced but they abandoned the project
I hope you can give me some advice about this!
Sorry if this post doesn't belong here, or if it's wrong to ask about this, but I don't know where to ask haha
Thanks again!

About vanced, yeah I downloaded an apk but it had ads too, I think it has something to do with my rom (even if its official) because before my first update to os12 I had os11 without any ads, or very few. Now when I use reddit, or 9gag app I get flooded by ads.
Do you know where can I find a Vanced apk that works? I would really appreciate that!
Thanks again!

You can use private dns feature. Also here is a github link for youtube vanced https://github.com/cuynu/ytvanced
