[Q] CM9 Problems

I have 4 problems with CM9 alpha 4.
1.I can't move/organize any of my apps around in the app drawer.
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.

That link leads to an app called Paper Camera, this is called Paper Artist. I tried to look at the video on that site but it wont run for me.
EDIT: Had to edit my response. Seems though it's called something different, it does make use of the camera. Maybe what we have is an updated version since the name is different? Anybody want to chime in?

RELEASED

http://www.mediafire.com/?tivp03d17ba1jx9
There instructions are well put and i basically followed them but i would have worded them as such.
1) Rename the app you downloaded from above to gmail2.apk
Use any file explorer app and goto system/app and delete gmail.apk and then navigate to data/app and delete com.google.android.gmail (or something similar to this). you should be deleting 2 things. Thats what i had atleast. and I am on codefirex latest jb nightly
2)reboot phone
3)at this point you should see the gmail app NOWHERE in your app drawer
4)push gmail2.apk (the app you downloaded from earlier) to /system/app
5)reboot annnnnnnnd you will have the new gmail already installed and good to go!!
issues:
my data was slow to start for some odd reason. idk if it is a remote issue but it never really happens to me.

Seriously, what is the difficulty to zoom out in email, especially a big waste on the giant S3 screen. I still have my S3 but it's just sitting there now. I do email a lot and couldn't take it any more, so I bought another iPhone. I so miss the S3's screen, but it gets on my nerve everytime I have to scroll around to read an email on the S3.
This still won't help me since it's Gmail only :crying:

The new play store does look good. I can't wait for the pinch to zoom for emails though as well. This is something that does need to be in there as the real estate on the S3 is just too big to not be able to move around in the email itself.

Downloaded/installed and everything seems to be working fine. Used Root Explorer to remove the old gmail.apk from system/app.
Thanks.

In total agreement here on the lack of zooming out. On my iphone 4 I never had to scroll around to view large images.

yes and yes. for me the text in a plain text message does not reflow well (if at all) with the new pinch-to-zoom.

Just a heads up, the "ultra pixel" is a type of camera. It's hardware, not software.

I know it's hardware but it was showed in portal news, someone modified another camera app to compress 8mp photos to 2mp. Same pixel count but smaller image. So that's making difference in photo quality. That's what I mean by ultra pixel

You can modify the Vignette application and it will work. Done that and tried on Nexus 4 but I sucks in telling what is a good image and what is bad so I cannot tell the different much.

The other features would be also great.

I'm not a dev, maybe someone work on it. I pushed apk to system too, as it's based on aosp, I think these features are not imposslible for us. We need to get some attraction from devs :fingers-crossed:

No video sharing on Group Play 4.3 updated?

So I updated my mother's Note 2 with 4.3. The phone is stock and everything, my problem is and made real angry is that I wanted to show off some of the new feature that it has. So went to group play app to do the video sharing, but when I see, there isn't any video sharing to my surprise!!! What happen? I saw all those demo showing off the video sharing option with a Note 3 and a Note 2!

I was testing that out (half heartedly) with my girls GN3 and my newly OTA'd GN2 and couldn't get them to detect with the scan... just off work so I'll try a few more things and see if I can get anywhere
Edit:
So far no dice... double checked device status and Knox counter... everything is good. I did turn on my phone afterwards and noticed several app updates (most were for newer 4.3 apps) but not for group play or Samsung link...
As of right now I wasn't able to get my girls GN3 and my GN2 to recognize each other through any of the apps when referring to videos... (we also have a Samsung TV but no dongle yet)... was able to get music to play on both devices though...
Some things that I've noticed:
1. Her group play app is about half the size of mine (even though she has the GN3 and I'm on the GN2)
2. Her Group Play app is actually an older version than mine
3. Her Group Play app has an option of video sharing where mine doesnt... I only have music/documents/etc... but no video tab to share
Really the whole thing makes no sense lol... but ill continue looking around for answers... pretty stumped at this point as, like I said, they sync for music, just not videos
Something tells me the solution could be as simple as a setting, as boring as waiting for the app to update, or as complex as requiring a dev to manipulate resolution errors/compatibility issues etc and creating a work around... really no idea at this point

This apk doesnt run as such and wont appear in your app drawer. It seems to act as more of a plugin for group play.
Seems silly to me to. I dont see why it cant be part of the app.

Did you bother to try this in the end?
If you dont trust my file you can always download a stock N3 firmware and rip the apk from that yourself

As far as i can tell it does not effect the streaming to tv function as this worked for me both with and without the share video apk.

Hi, do you guys have any idea about this? I'm trying to make the bluetooth shortcut to work but it says this app is not installed. I didn't have this problem on 4.1.2 version.now I'm on 4.3 not rooted. Thank you.

Okay after playing around and trying to figure out how to do this I find out how. You need a smart TV that's connected to your home network. That can recognize media files from your phone. Like a media server. I have a Sony TV so I went to settings turned on near by devices and allowed my TV to look in my phone. Then go to wherever on your TV to find the media connection and browse from your TV.
