Develop Bugs

My Review so far on the new with sense 2.1 (4/23 Build)

this is just personal opnion, but this version blows away the 3/31 build. i juss had issues with data not wrkn but i fixed it with the tips in the threads. I hear people talk of stability. well, to me, this new sense version moves way faster and smoother. really. juss make sure to cut off the 3d harware box..it isnt wrkn and will slow things up. i have more features working in this install than the 3/31 build.
my last install didnt load all the folders right and i never saw a keyboard selector or update. checked thru everywhere in device, no luck..but it still worked, i juss couldnt auto update and i was getting hung up trying to change the files. Now, with this new install...everything is perfect..lol i know have "andboot" folder....my last install named it "Android" and no matter how many different ways to change folder name or replace, it didint work. Now all i gotta do is auto update..which i did with this install also..wrks perfect. now my my dual boot wont recognize it...i tried to different versions the 1.05 and 1.06 Gene Y dual boot cabs, no luck..not worried though, i figure it soon enough.
almost half the day been on Sense...i always keep a charger close by. lol for all the skeptical people, wifi does work..i tested it..its pickn up signals...my 03/31 install didnt wrk..as far as wifi goes...im making and recieving phone calls...juss set your calls and txts and emails to vibrate...it works..all my data wrkn perfect...i got opera mini 5 up here along with a ton of stuff i downloaded..lol
A smart move to do is to use your Astro Explorer and press menu to back up data/apps..u can bck up all ur dwnloaded stuff from the market or wherever..and be able to reinstall them if u ever reinstall a new xdandroid version or somethng. ive did install/uninstall numerous times already..so knowing i still have my programs backed up is good. get opera if u havent....its way faster thn the android one. i got programs im dying to use once everything wrks on this build like my morse coder or the virtual walkie talkie apps..i cant say enuff how truly amazed with this forum, its members, and the Feats being accomplished here. and they do this for free...Unbelievable...THANK YOU DEVELOPERS N ALL WHO MADE THIS BUILD POSSIBLE. i cant wait to show this off to my pops and friends back home...ima blow their mind...
Im staying with Sense 2.1........cuz IT MAKES SENSE...lmao
to me this is better than last version and moves faster, at least on my tilt2 it does...oh and if u want true speed readings, get the Speedtest.net app frm da market..its free... if u think im pulling your chain on this build, juss look at da sig..im on android sense now on xda app..wit no problems..im goin crazy ova here on how cool this is...i just joined this site not too long ago n already got my phone on a whole new level of being upgraded..i got all da fixes. 3D DRIVERS...DA LIST Goes on and on..too cool

Or if you're using the startup utility then just uncheck the box.

i think I've confirmed that rooted apps and WiFi tethering works on this build. i downloaded barnacle wifi tethering app from the marketplace that said ur device needed to be rooted in order to work. well it seems to wrk. i know wifi wrks for sure and data, so therotically should. i gave my old tilt to my mom so cant test right this second but the program runs fine and commands say its broadcasting successfull. goodnight..lol

Which installer did you use? The .cab or the .rar?

demandarin- would you say the new build is stable for the majority of Android features? What's your opinion on using it as your default OS system for the Tilt 2?

hey
this is a great version and i think its basically usable for people who arent dying for the GPS, bluetooth, and camera. the one thing that is killing it for me though is the lack of the speaker and headphone jack working. that is the only features preventing me from using it all the time.
i know these guys are making great progress but does anyone have any idea when theyre gonna at least solve that issue? because im sure that would bump up its mass appeal

I had marketplace wrkn but I messed around and now its saying serve error but my gsm and data wrk fine...marketplace acts funny at times..lol ill get it wrkn again soon, already deleted data img. I get tired of reading all my settings and apn and downloads..I hve alot..there's some good tool apps on mrktplce

I personally think its SO annoyingly slow. I'm constantly waiting for screens and lists to populate, and it makes me feel like I am using WinMo again. Contacts take forever to load, and the sms app, takes FOREVER to populate. Then when you're trying to do something sense will force close itself, and then you find yourself staring at a black screen with "htc" on it, and you have to wait for it to completely start Sense again. Personally if I want sense UI, ill use WinMo ROM with it, at least everything works that way.
The AOSP 2.1 is WAY smooth, and SO fast, and a more "official" release. 110Mb free ram vs 45Mb sounds WAY better to me.

ok well that is a damning summary coming straight from the horses mouth! Thanks for all the advice everyone, sounds like AOSP 2.1 is the way to go for stability. Can't wait to try this out. I won't have to switch between my G1 and Avantage for much longer.

i downloaded that 2.1 no sense last night after i posted. I installed it juss like any other build but couldnt get it to finish the haret loading. 3/31 2.01and the 4/23 2.1 w/Sense builds i had no problem installing and running. I even checked the folders and it was all correct, in the andboot folder with all the necessary files in it. Even updated the 2.1 AOSP b4 running it the first time. the first time right after haret started up, it got hung up in the beginning..so i rebooted to try again. this time the haret ran the loader all the way till the end and got hung up right b4 the startup screen. said something about trying to init. pid or something. it kept on searching and repeating the command but no luck. i shut it down after i seen it aint gonna load up..lol i really do wanna try this build also but get tired of uninstalling and installing and setting up all my settings again. i have a ton of downloaded apps for the android already. after no success, i just installed the sense one again. Wrks wit no problems..lol
Theres ways to make it run faster within the os itself. I found alot of good memory manager apps and startup auditors. The reason i believe it runs laggy at times is because of all the programs always starting up without u even doing anything. U gotta kill apps all the time. I cant remember the name, but i have this memory app tool that lets u set a minimum and maximum MB for ur programs. For example i set it to 50mb, the program starts killing off apps in order of priority in order to maintain at least 50mb threshhold. works pretty well to me. i might try that 2.1 no sense build again another day but im stickin with the Sense build for now. It has potential..lol

yeah im glad theyre working on it either way, but ill only start using it as my full time OS when they get that feature in at least. but it sure is fun to mess around with in the meantime

yeah, i believe its gonna come soon. I be away from my phone alot and need to hear it when a call comes in or i get txts, or "BACKGROUND Notifications"..lol that made me laugh...thinkin of somethin someone else told me in another thread.. I believe Reefer posted up the new cab for the 2.1 non-sense version. I havent gottn to try it out yet. Im still havin fun with the Sense version. Plus finding out how to cut the Sense UI off is a big plus for me. Now everytime my device boots into Android, It asks me what UI i want to use. Either Home, Sense, or Launcher. if i use home or launcher , it loads right up. Not like when using Sense and its loading forever. I like it cuz i have the option to choose.

CM 6.1.2 mod... NOT SENDING TEXT ANYMORE!

I cannot send text messages anymore with cm 6.1.2, it keeps saying it's "sending." I flashed this rom three days ago and it was perfect until tonight!
What is going on help!

Orly?

Should be in the Q&A section. Not in development. Do a clean wipe and load a sense based rom. Refresh your profiles and reboot. Then try sending your text message using HTC's messaging app. If everything works, then do a clean wipe and go back to 6.1.2. and try texting again.

I sure would like a robster craw.

Your not alone. I put this rom on my girlfriends EVO 2 or 3 nights ago and she just started complaining of the same thing about an hour ago. My first step was to reboot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, but the problem continued. Did a full wipe/flash again and still, same problem. Very odd! Also worth mentioning, market and many other apps are now FC continuously. I will be putting a HTC rom back on until CM7 is finalizes I suppose. Sad too, I finally convinced her to go with AOSP : /

I like cheese.

Thank goodness!
I thought I was the only one.
I love the rom though... It's really smooth and quick.

usually happens in AOSP ROMs when you are sending a larg (161+ characters). For some reason it is unable to break up the SMS. It's the only reason keeping me from flashing CM again.

ComputerJunkie, Which Rom are you using then? I love VaelPak, but CM 6.1.2 is so smooth and so fast! I guess I'll flash my Vael Pak mod that I backed up with CLockswork Mod. I tried to clear data from the applications settings, but still doesn't work.

I just got myself a new 004 evo the other day and so far I've been using Myn's Warm. It's very smooth and stable. The only problem I'm having with it is some SMS are getting put in a weird order (timestamp issues). Minor annoyance but I can deal with that since the rest of the ROM is very smooth and stable. I used to use launcher pro for my launcher but this sense version is so smooth and looks so good i can't go to launcher pro

ive heard people fixing the problem with handcentsms since it will break the msgs up into sections

same here with the sms and im on myn too..takes forever to get a text reply. idk if its the rom or sprint towers cos my friend with stock EVO has the same problem..
EVODOES

My texts are coming in just fine so it might be a network problem for you. I just had a problem with timestamps which, after a full wipe and fresh flash, seems to have fixed the issue (so far).

That's true, I just hate using 3rd party apps since the one included is already good enough. I'm not looking for a ton of options. The more options, the more things can go wrong. I just want a good, solid, stable SMS/MMS client which the stock app does well.

Daytonaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Damn...
Guys I have a question and yes, it's probably a noob one.
I took your advices and download Handcent, but how do I stop the notifications for the stock messaging app? When I get texts now, I get both notifications. THANKS!

Go to the settings in the messaging app and turn off the notification. Also, uncheck auto-retrieve.

Yea when you almost get to page two, just stop typing, send the text and resume.

[Q] Black Market keeps unistalling Itself!?!?

Hey devs and other...im currently on phoenix rom...i believe i had the black market fine at one point but now the market is downgrading rapidly. i have tried freezing the market updater and also system update but no go. I have tried searching for anwers but most are from 2010 and versions the black market of the old market. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance

ahhaaaa...........i see the key is.....data/app folder...delete apk.vending...working great thus far...of course...you always find the answer ....right after you ask the question lol..story of my life!!!

OKKKKKKKKKKKK SO I LIED!!!! It just took longer to revert...ughhh....

I think it's outdated.

Any version of 3.x Markets seem to have a built in updater. So even though they are themed it will update. If you think 3.1.5 may be around for awhile then have someone theme it black and it will stick. The other option is to find an old 2.x black market and install that, then you can freeze market updater to keep it.

Wow..thanks guys..i guess it was fun while it lasted...so i can unfreeze everything..its not gonna change anything either way huh?

Unfortunately not. Drove me crazy for 3 days before I gave up and accepted the new market. Resistance is futile!

Here is the link in themes which claims to keep it from updating but it takes a bunch of reboots to get it to take, plus there are some themed 3.1.5 markets in this thread:

If you open settings, yes. Just close the tab.

Right after installing and testing the new Flash App I had the first crash and reboot of my Nexus. So still a bit buggy...

mine's working fine. I use flash for very few sites, but at least it works so far.

How can it be disabled after install?
Thanks

i think ill pass.. my phone has been working great without it thus far.. lol

Unistalled it anyway. The minute I added it to the phone it started to hiccup. F#$#ing Flash.

yesss! i love it! I just came from froyo and i was really upset that the latest and greatest android phone didn't support flash! I called up samsung twice to vent about how pissed i was that the principal selling point of android phones over apple's phones is lacking on google's flagship model.
It also give me a great argument at Bell's loyalty department to get my self a KILLER plan
But now its here! and i am ever so happy!

I agree what a disappointment. Sure it works but it completely ruined the browsers buttery smooth scrolling.

Just install it and set plugins to 'on demand'. That way it won't ruin the performance, but you have the opportunity to start flash if you want to.

don't miss it. So won't bother installing it until I need it for something.

It doesn't hurt to have it especially if you set it to on demand. Surprised at how many people are unaware of this option.

Google Keep crashing

I am not on your phone platform, but found this thread searching for others with Google Keep problems. I installed Keep last night, fired it up and it crashed. Tried again,, crashed. Rebooted the phone and when it came back it was like it had lost a bunch of 'data files' . By that I meant the phone acted as though it was factory reset, yet all apps were there. 90% of them would not run and those that did acted like they were just installed and had none of my settings. Restored data only via Titanium Backup and had to reinstall a couple apps. I may wait awhile and see if it was just me that had this kind of failure.

It works fine for me.
It's not all that exciting, but it's functional.

same here, used to work with stock 4.0.4 but since I have installed (from scratch) Alliancerom 4.1.2 on my S2, it keeps crashing on launch...
any idea ?

Are you guys having issues while running a custom ROM? I had issues with Keep on NoWizAOSP until the developer tweaked something and then it started working.

I had problems with NoWiz. Other ROMs worked fine w/Keep. I'm going to grab the latest NoWiz and see if it's working now.

if it can help, in my case it was caused by a customised Google Play (official Google Play but with a dark theme) bundled in Rom Alliance.
I had to uninstall it and reinstall the standard Google Play and it worked.
hope it will help.

Thanks for the hint. I don't have a themed or homebrewed version of Play, so no luck there. I can find random reports here and there of people experiencing this, on various phones with various - but always cooked - roms. So my guess is that Keep calls on something possibly not included in some of the roms out there... Speaking out my **s of course, as I have in fact no idea
Guess I'll have to wait a few days/weeks and see what the deal is.

I figured out the problem. You have to edit your build.prop file located in the system folder. You have to be rooted to do this.
Look for the line that says ro.build.type=user and change it to ro.build.type=userdebug
Then make sure to reboot the device.
Now it should work. I was having the same problem. ?
