2.I can't setup up the face unlock, I tried but it just doesn't work
3. Every time I download a new app it makes a shortcut on the home screen.
4.The clock app always force closes.

1. Get a different launcher, google nova launcher I think it has that ability.
2. You need to be in a clear place with plenty of light for facelock to configure and needs to be there for a good amount of time.
3. Go into the market go into settings and uncheck auto add widgets.

Thank you so much, but I already tested Nova Launcher, and I still cant edit my apps in the drawer.

It also helps to read the CM9 threads like the Tip Sharing thread in General if you don't want to wade through all the posts in the Development thread. The market tip was one of the first ones posted.

golauncher ex will allow you to organize and even hide apps. it will use a little more battery to also have it running, but its worth it IMO

I used to use it, but on cm9 it just "takes away" the feeling of having ICS.

Is anyone else having problems sending MMS I use Hancent...but none of my pictures ever go through?

My MMS works fine, even over wifi, with the stock application and with handcent.

When I first flashed this rom I was having the same problem with mms. I only could send them with the wifi turned off but for some reason it's working fine now.

Bloater.apk does NOT WORK

Is it me? Or does the bloater app just hardly ever work? I have to click on T-Mobile SGS2 about 32424 times just to get the 2 sub directories:
T-mobile apps and Samsung apps
then
One I get into one of those it seems like no matter what I try to un-install hangs indefinitely and does nothing un-till I hit the home button. Thus not removing what I selected. I can just never get this APK to work. I'm running Juggernaut 5.0 with the KOBALT theme. What I'm trying to get rid of are some of the Samsung widgets like:
BuddiesNOW
Accuwather
Agenda Ap Mobile Bookmark
Digital Clock
Email
Mini paper
News and weather
Voice
Yahoo Finance

never had much luck with bloater either. the apps it did restore were outdated versions of what the market had already. the apps it tried to delete disnt get deleted.
use ti backup if bloater doesnt work.
Sent from my SGH-T989

Agreed on Titanium Backup. I ate the price of Pro long ago, because it was the only thing that has always worked every time for me.
Sent from my SGH-T989

Ok sold. I'll go buy the Titanium pro app. Only thing about it is I can never seem to figure out how it works. Someone want to give me a quick walk through?
*EDIT*
Nevermind figured it out. WAY better then bloater

[Q] New Facebook Update

Has anyone else downloaded the new Facebook update? I did and now I have additional icons (camera and messanger) that I can't get rid of. Also it keeps running in the background even after I stop it from running. Any ideas how to stop it from running in background and how to remove extra application icons? Thanks

Just uninstall the newest update. Idk how else to get rid of it but it doesn't bother me at all.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

I don't like the new update because install unnecessary thing that I don't need nor use.
My suggestion is that you use the mobile browser version or use Fast Facebook (Beta)
The only bad thing about that is that it doesn't syn your contact pictures by default but you can use another app for that

It's not too bad but if this is going to be a trend for new apps, they should just make them separately and/or offer the option before installation if the user wants the said additional features or not.

Facebook cannot upload photo

I've had this problem on every single rom and even my other android phone, the sidekick 4g. I've bee using myalbum for the past month or so , but I prefer the Facebook app uploader, any solution ? Seems that many people are having this problem.

Still can't get it to work, I'm pretty sure nothing is wrong with either of the phones, i tried a 3g slide also and it didn't work. Could someone maybe give me like a step by step thing for maybe security settings? I don't see any relating to the fb app, also looking at the apps settings, theres nothing that says facebook for android.

Same problem here. No solution yet.
Anyone?

try with another device. Do you have tablet or any other phone?
How about desktop can you upload it from there?

It works just fine with other devices. I thought it could be setting in facebook but it works everywhere but on my SGS3. And I think problem started after the last update of the app.

Agree, I have latest Rocket Rom v7 on my Galaxy Note and I get same error with the latest Facebook update. It's cleary a program error since I can upload pictures to Facebook with FaceUp!
I think this is really frustrating and I hope that FB will fix this.

Works on neither of my android phones. Desktop works of course, maybe ill try from a non android phone?

Try to change visibility settings when upload a photo.

Try clearing app data in your applications settings for the app.

Nope didn't work, and for visibility , I can only change the visibility for individual pictures in the mobile uploads album , unless im missing something?

I don't know the fix for this, but for alternative tool you could use the Instagram app and it's doing great job posting pictures.
Check on Google Play for Instagram

Switched over to this app last night, also T-Mo, Southern CO and the app itself after latest update is trash. Constant FC and the like

same issue
i always thought it was a network error because restarting the phone usually worked but i was at the races in watkins glen this weekend with a full 4g connection on all areas i was in and it wouldnt load anything. restarted pulled battery i even tried differant albums and differant camera apps i tried everything it would not upload a photo. So after this weekend i believe its a facebook app error and really needs to be looked into

Inverted Google Now 2.0.5.443668

Here is the new Google Now Inverted with my touch of blue (really just blue text and some images LOL). Make a nandroid back up and then flash in CWM. If you have any problems delete your old quicksearchbox.apk from data/app or system/app and then flash my mod, enjoy!
If you use or like hit the thanks button. If your feeling particularly thankful, buy me a beer using the donate button!

Works, had to uninstall old app before flashing.

I made one too but flashing it to system/app causes the settings too force close...how did you fix that?
DarkJelly Gnex on JellyBro sent this from the app.

Actually it was by mistake,,, I was using the apk multi-tool and instead of hitting the yes for system app and then yes again, I hit no then yes and was waiting for it to compile and it didnt? Well I went to the "place apk her for modding" folder I saw it was there so I signed it and zipped it up in an older mod that I created to install apps to data/apps and it worked?? LOL I have been trying to theme this thing for days and it always force closed when trying the voice commands. I noticed when compiling before it was noticeably smaller by a few megs and when I did it this new way it seemed to work? I have made multiple edits this way and so far it works.

I was having trouble trying to install the apk files everyone has listed for ICS. This worked np after I uninstalled my previous version. Matches my inverted G+ now. Thanks a lot, looks great. One thing I was wondering is if this one has the notifications working for JB roms? Everyone says the ICS apk one does. My previous worked flawless but I had to pull the tray down to see the card notifications, they never show up top for some reason.

I might be able to help here but the reason it force closes when trying to do a voice commands while app is in the system directory is because there's a lib file inside the apk that needs to be moved to system/lib then it should be all kosher

I've been using it over a month. I gives me weather and traffic info before leaving work and home. It also gives me game alerts for the Reds and previews for upcoming games. When I pull down my notification tray it will show I have a Gnow notification, and say 2 or 3 cards in the text in bottom right of the main notification if multiple. It's just that when the notifications appear there is nothing at the top of my phone. Currently I have a weather GNow card in my tray, but my notifications at top show only a G+ and Foursquare check in.
