Astrid + ROMs based on Eris leak

Hey guys,
I've tried a few of the Eris-based ROMs, and they are all pretty damn decent, my kudos to the devs.
But one common problem I am having is that when I try to set up the initial sync between Astrid and Remember The Milk, I get a "Page cannot be displayed" error. It's as though Astrid has no access to the web in order to establish that link with RTM.
Does anyone have a solution to this, or any other suggestions I can try? I've come to rely heavily on Astrid and it kills me to change back to another ROM.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: To be clear, I have no problems or connectivity issues with Email / Browser / Maps on both Mobile and Wifi data.

There is an issue with the leaked ROM and HTTP requests from within apps. For instanc, while Gmail can get my emails, when I click the show pictures button nothign comes up. Urbanspoon has the same problem as you described above. I think it is a common problem on all the ROM's based on the Eris leak

Thanks for the response...
Bummer.

That would be the same reason why babbler and bloo cant gain access to facebook then to be granted permissions, bugger.

I think I've had the same trouble with NavLauncher's automatic brut.all maps downloader.... I've got perfect signal and mobile internet, everything else is working, but the maps.apk just won't download.

Yes, I have the same problems, but it seems that some people don't have them.
I have seen reports that Facebook sync works and have found very few other people mentioning these problems on ROM specific threads.
No solution yet

I can confirm that problem with astrid and any other apps that make http requests
its so sad, astrid is _so_ useful :/

I wouldn't call it sad. Sad is losing a loved one, or popping a testicle. I think its unfortunate, but sad is not an emotion I feel towards a week or two without the use of a task list application.

Got the same issue with a few apps (pagesjaunes, wapedia)... I'm hoping somone will find a fix! I don't want to give up my rom and go back to 1.5...
Edit : Does everybody gets this error? Is it in all eris leak based roms? (I run Defiance). I wiped everything but did not format my sdcard when I flashed the 2.1 rom, coming from MCR 3.1...

I was kidding still - its not really fortunate that it doesnt work

for tasks you can try gtasks in the market, its free and syncs with your Google task list and if you use pure calendar it will also display on the due dates.

I don't think it's everybody...
There are just too few comments in this thread for it to be a generic problem.

Nah, i think it is @nprussell has even spoken about it several times in his VillianROM thread.

Doh! It looks like this is even happening in the Legend leak! (BeHero 1.3.1)

I asked the question in the BeHero thread at HTCPedia and indeed it seems that the issue is not resolved :/
I'll have to stick with MCR for now...

This issue is not specific to 2.1: I've had this with my completely stock 1.5 original ROM back from Hero release here in .nl (august 2009).
It's the primary reason I went to RememberTheMilk, but now that I've done so I'm convinced that RTM is better for me than Astrid anyway. But that's another discussion
As to resolving the original problem: I have no clue how. Sorry...

It would be nice if the devs could at least acknowledge that this is indeed a bug with their cooked ROMs in their "not working" lists.
It may not be a big deal to some, but it's a deal-breaker to many.

Wooohooo!!!
We are back in business
I can confirm Astrid - RTM sync is working once again in the latest Legend ROM leak.
So far this leak is available from http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2275
But note the ROM is a little laggy/slow, but everything seems to working ok, from the last 20 mins i have been using it

Exchange service not working with venum ice

I have searched for and answer and have come up empty. Should start off with I love this rom I am using, fast, smooth, pretty.
I have the latest venum ice ICS rom, when I can add my work email account and see the emails and all, but after I sync my phone will freeze for 15 seconds or so, then it will say 'sorry, exchange service has stopped working' or something very close to that. Even while I am doing something else, cruising web, messaging, whatever. I can go into email settings and delete the account, then everything works fine. I have synced my work email to the exchange service on the phone with other roms with no problems, any ideas?

also, I do not have google talk, can I download a gapps.apk and get it?
EDIT: I installed the gapps.zip for ICS and I have google talk, yay!

It's a known issue with a couple of ROM's. Beejmeister posted this on the dev thread for Mijjz Blend ICS ROM.

awesome, thanks I am going to give this a try. I think my calender was working fine, but I will see if this fixes it. I searched around but didn't come up with much, but I had seen it being mentioned in a few different development threads.

ok, so I tried what they were talking about, i switched the two files, email.apk and exchange.apk. Now I am getting more fc's. saying 'exchange stopped working' and 'email stopped working', I havent even added any accounts yet.
someone else had my problem and they were told this:
If you are odexed delete the odex files.

I do not know if I am odexed, but I think I am deodexed.
any help would be appreciated, I would hate to have to start over, I would rather figure it out, I will keep messing around.

Unfortunately I have only used Venom's ROM twice and I didn't use exchange on it. Sorry!
If you want an ICS ROM known to work with exchange I'd suggest either Mijjz's Goodness our Calk's stock.

[Q] question for people running decks reloaded

I've been debating trying out Decks Reloaded ROM, the only other AOSP ROM I have tried was CM 7.1 and 7.2rc2. With both CM versions I had the phantom voice mail issue. Does Decks have the same problem or is that just a CM thing?

You need to clear your voicemail with sprint. That's the only way to get rid of it once and for all. Anyways, their should be a setting that hides the voicemail in the deck Rom.(I think all aosp roms Have this option) If you like decks Rom then try it out, you'll def like the reloaded series.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

Just moved to Reloaded last night and can confirm that I get no phanton voicemail txts. I've tried a ton of different roms over the past year, and this is one of the few where visual voicemail just works out of the box.
FYI, I still have voicemails in my inbox (old ones that don't show up in visual voicemail) so for me I didn't have to do anything to get voicemail working as it should. Your results may vary though, as typical with the phantom voicemail issue.
On a side note, this ROM is pretty amazing....I'm not a fan of the color scheme but functionally it's the quickest I've used, so incredibly responsive.

Hey thanks for the interest in ReLoaded! We included the VVM fix for the phantom messages. Nice huh?! By the way there is another aosp rom with the fix.... check my sig for KWIQ rom. I've neglected it since begining the ReLoaded project, but it will see a resurection here real soon...
-jamie

Google voice + Decks reloaded = winning combo.
I fought google voice at first but I love that I can flash any rom, install the app and all my voicemail is right there.
Plus as an added bonus, while I'm flashing or otherwise screwing around with my phone I can still see my voicemails and send/receive texts through voice.google.com
Big thanks to Jamie, rope, deck and everyone involved with this rom to put the effort in and fix the small things (like phantom vm) so we don't have to.

AOSP newcomer.
Hi guys. I'm pretty new to AOSP based Roms. I have mostly used Sense based roms and am bored with them. I am now using Deck's Reloaded .44 and Im loving it. I have had a couple hiccups here and there and have managed to find the answers to most of them through extensive searching and reading, but I'm stuck with a few questions.
Here is my setup:
EVO 4G
16GB Class 10 Sd Card
Using "default" mason kernal
dta2sd selected
Full Wipe, Superwipe, Ext 3 Partition
1. I can't send or download mms messages with wifi connected, but it works when data/3g is connected. Thoughts?
2.On reboots I would lose widgets and apps. I performed a2sd repair in terminal emulator, seems to have worked so far, but every time I reboot I lose dropbox login and am forced to log back in everytime. I have never had this happen before. I use KeePass so have very strong passwords that I can not remember, so this is a hassle. Anyway to have it stay logged in like I am used to with other ROMS?
3. The phone dialer threw me off before I realized that the auto predict dial does not work with this framework. Can anybody suggest a good 3rd party auto predict dialer that will work with Deck's and where I can find it?
Thanks devs for your dedication, ability, and time you commit to providing these amazing roms for us lacking these skills or the time to learn them.
This is the first time I have been Deck'ed and I like it! (No homo!!!)

I have probs with the native MMS, too on several AOSP ROMs, so I just use Go SMS. It's nice.
Go to Recovery\partition SD Card\Repair EXT Partition. That helped with mine, but eventually, it reverted back to losing apps/widgets on reboots. I know the team is aware. One thing, if you flashed A2SD in Aroma, is to not do that and then flash it manually
Use Contapps. Free in Play. Has killer contact list options and dialer (And SMS which I chose to not use)

Thanks HipKat, that is good to know. I will try the repair EXT partition. Stinks it only seemed to help temporarily. I did install a2sd in aroma, but did not do in again manually so I know im good there.
On reboot, I am now losing the theme entirely (those chosen from theme chooser) plus widgets and login syncs to apps such as FB and Dropbox. Also, many apps are missing and not showing in the app drawer. Ugh. Glad to hear the devs know about some of this.
Anyone else having these problems? Are people using partition ext 4 having these problems?

When I first flashed ReLoaded, we saw that this problem existed and Jaime said to just not use A2SD in Aroma, but flash it manually. I never did do a reflash, but I might, just to see if that really works.

That or just flash ReLoaded RLS, Dta2sd works brilliantly with full functionality and is still optional. If you experience any issues on Rls chances are you either changed busybox and are on 18-4, or have corrupted ext partitions.

[Q] Making the Switch from iPhone

I'm making the switch to the GS3 from several years of iPhones. Its been a while since ive had an android phone and it looks like a lot has changed. I had a few questions I was hoping the brilliant minds at xda would be able to help me out with. After being on the iPhone for a while theres a few features I have become attached to that I cant seem to figure out on the GS3.
Firstly I have gotten attached to the security features on the iphone. Setting a pin code but having a proper delay on its activation. So if pick up the phone and use it gain within 5 minutes the lockscreen still works but it doesn't prompt for the passcode. however, after that 5 minutes it will start prompting for it again. Maybe its just me but I have not found an effective way to get this working on the GS3. I have tried the delay settings but not matter what is set it seems as if the power button makes it prompt for the code again. Does anyone have a good solution to this? another small thing that annoys me about the pin unlock is having to hit the ok key after entering the pin.
Secondly I have become accustomed to the email client on the iPhone. While I do like the priority inbox and other features that the gmail app has on android I really miss the unified inbox. I have about 6 email accounts that I keep synced with my phone. Some gmail and some not. Can anyone recommend a really good email client that has unified inbox. of if there is any way to achieve this using the gmail app. I would prefer to use the gmail app because some of those gmail accounts sync with other parts of the phone such as contacts and calendars it seems kind of unnecessary to have accounts set up in settings to sync everything else and a separate app to just sync all of my same accounts for email.
Thanks for anyone who responds. I am also open to any custom rom options that people have to suggest that will help me solve my problems. I have been playing around with CM10 and I like it but theres still a few kinks to work out. I hope I am posting this in the right area.

First, welcome to android For the lockscreen thing, you have it set up to delay the lock screen 5 minutes after the screen times it, go under your lock screen settings and make sure that where it says "lock instantly with power key" is unchecked. For the email client, I haven't used them as I have made the switch over to having all of my emails as gmail. Have you tried the one pre loaded with the phone? If not then I'm sure a simple search on the market will provide what you need. Just keep in mind that the best part of android is the customizability and the freedom to change everything if you are willing to put in the time!

In regards to an email client, try checking out K9 Mail in the Play Store. I believe a unified inbox is one of its features.

Thanks for the reply. Happy to be owning an S3 now. That seems to solve my problem with the lockscreen. Thanks for the tip. I don't know how i messed that. lol As for the email most of my accounts are gmail, but 2 are not. The issue is just switching between 5 different inboxes every time i want to check my mail. I hope google adds unified inbox to gmail soon.
Does anyone recommend any good roms to try out? I would like to run something based on JB, but it still needs to be reliable for the most part it is a daily driver. I would like to add google wallet and check out google now. I do like a few of the features of the stock rom and am curious if anyone is just running a debloated stock rom and installing wallet and google now on that inorder to keep sbeam and a few other features that samsung baked in. If so hows the performance on that?

Welcome to Android, fellow previous iPhone user!
For the multiple emails: if you want to use the gmail client, you just need to add those other accounts to your Gmail. I used to do this with my school's Exchange email and my Gmail.
Basically, Gmail can attach POP3 and I think IMAP, too, accounts. This way you can send and receive from those accounts. It might be called forwarding. Look out up in the gmail settings.
But, if you don't care for archive or priority inbox (gmail specific features), then the default email client can combine inboxes (mine says combined inbox even though I only have one account)...

If you're looking for a stable JB ROM, check out Task650 and Ktoonsez AOKP 4.1.2 or CM10.

Yea i noticed that the email client that samsung baked in handles combined email well, but i don't think theres a way to use that client if I decide to switch to a custom rom. I'll definiteley check out k9 though.

I just put CM10 on my phone and I was going to spend a few days playing with that, but whats the word on any samsung features being ported to that? I know there arent many that are any good, but I do like sbeam's ability to send larger files (which i think is just wifi direct, correct me if im wrong), gimicky things like the swipe to screenshot, the calendar widget, that picture in picture feature(which i probably will only use twice), and some of those motion options.

You should try and read up over in the development sections. Those gimmicky features built into the S3 stock are from Samsung TouchWiz. CM10 is based on AOSP which is entirely different. So those Samsung features aren't going to be available on CM10, period.
I believe if you spend some time with the new ROM, you'll find yourself without a need for those TouchWiz gimmicks.

Ok I'll definitely spend some time with CM10 and see how I like it. I read this morning that Stable releases have started showing up for CM10 for some devices. So hopefully it will be a good daily driver.
Thanks to everyone who responded and gave me suggestions.

Great questions.. I also switched from iPhone after owning every version up to the 4S... I miss it less and less every day. I currently use cm10 nightly build ROM and update every couple nightlies I also use apex launcher because I like the notifications on the icons and ability to rename icons and change their pic.
I missed the simplicity of ios when I got my gs3 2 months ago but after getting familiar and finding solutions for my individual needs I don't miss ios anymore.
I do find being left handed the gs3 too be a little too wide of a form factor and I accidentally hit the volume rocker often. I have contemplated getting a thinner android device but will hate it prob after being use to the screen size... I have been changing things daily and spending a lot of time trying things.. I enjoy it. Feel free to inbox me if you need insight. I use my gs3 for small business and personal needs.. lots of YouTube. Texting...Facebook.. and my scheduling invoicing company has a mobile cloud site I use daily to run business.

i too made the switch from an iphone 4
dont really miss it all that much since the benefits of swapping out the battery, roms, etc outweigh the simplicity of the iphone
it would be nice if theres a way to scroll to the top of a website like IOS did for many of its apps

I am so far enjoying the CM10 Release although honestly I miss a couple features in the touchwiz rom. I'm kind of torn. I definitely want to try out the JB OTA update and see if its enough for me to settle. The features I'm torn over are:
CM10 Pros:
Always up to date regardless of carrier holdups(bugs are fixed quickly)
a lot of additional options that allow me to fine tune the experience far beyond what is allowed in touchwiz
overall the phone is MUCH smoother without occastional hangups and whatnot(but im not sure how much of that is just the improvements of JB)
Google Now
improved notifications
pure google experience without all the touchwiz stuff slowing things down
love the sms app vs the samsung app(much cleaner and faster in my opinion and I don't like the market alternatives for sms they feel just as slow and cumbersome to me. The only one that comes close to being acceptable is gosms)
the sms popup is really nice even though it doesn't always work perfect
prefer the lockscreen style to that of the ripple effect on touchwiz
Touchwiz Pros:
Sbeam(only because my brother and a few close friends all picked up an S3 and I have been using this feature a lot with them)
Samsung Calendar widget(for some reason really like this specific widget)
I like the camera interface a little better in the touchwiz
The best shot feature in the camera is nice
strangely enough I have come to like the voice control with the alarm clock and phone calls
Smart Alert is nice but ive noticed its randomly going off while im in a phone call which is kind of annoying
I enjoy using the swipe to screenshot
I like the notification icons that are on the lockscreen for quick access to missed notifications
May just be a bug but I don't seem to get LTE service properly on the CM10 rom
Again I'm torn between the two but I've realized the only things that I'm clinging to in touchwiz are pretty much small interface things or gimmicky features that could possibly be solved with other apps from the market. I would like to try the JB touchwiz rom when it releases and see if it is enough to appease me but I don't want to give up my root and risk not getting that back if I don't like it and want back to CM10. What do you guys think?

[Q] stock email and s voice apps.

Hello All,
I'm new to the forums, new to android, and new to rooting. I recently switched over from iphone, and it has been a bumpy yet fun ride.
I have an unlocked Galaxy SIII SGH-i747M running the Illusion ROM, android ver. 4.2.2 illusion ver. 4.2.2.2.1 beta
I really miss the stock email app and S-voice, I'm trying to get them back. I've tried the email app from this package:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28000240
as well as this modded app here, which installed OK but doesn't seem to be working as it will not sync any mail no matter what sync settings I choose.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28246860
I don't know what to do about the S-voice. So far what I've read says it cannot be done. Any ideas guys? Please go easy on me, as I am new to this stuff and yes, I did do my research on the forums and wasn't getting anywhere on my own. Thanks!

While I'm only 99 percent certain, I'd say this is not going to work for you. From what I know, both of these apps are integrated and reliant upon the Touchwiz interface to work correctly. May be a stupid question, but have you correctly set the incoming/outgoing servers in the email app?

Yes, I believe so. I used the same settings which did work when I had touchwiz. I could tell it was talking to the server because it still prompted to accept all the security settings, etc. it requires, just would never display anything in the inbox.
I did get the s voice to work last night, though (yay) a couple bugs but will work for me. If I cant use the stock email app, do you have any other suggestions? Something lightweight and clean?
Thank you.

When you installed the email APK, did you use a package installer or did you place it in system/apk? If you took the latter step, you may have needed to fix the permissions of the apk. If you used a package installer you may want to try the system apk method. Let me know if you don't fully understand and I will try to be of more help. BTW the permissions should read rw x r x r
. Another thing to look into would be to install the secemail.apk from the S4, as it may be an Android 4.2 thing.
