The good news is it isnt due to YAFFS errors anymore from what i've seen, meaning it should be a simple fix.

Yup, i have a 8925 tilt.... I have http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837706no choise but to change the build, I'll use fat free rls5 and see how things go on....
Edit: I don't like odexed builds cause i can't theme them! but.... its a smooth and snappy build! Scoot I think u're right, its something about ur release because I've got no freezes, fcs or reboots, for now, but as I always say (for experience ! ) maybe im talking too early.... I'll try it for a couple of hours and post results....
ok ok folowing aceoyame's advice, FYI:
Model: Att Tilt 8925
Build (for now): Fat free RLS5
Kernel: l1qu1d's 11-12-10
Instalation: [email protected] / [email protected]
Apps i use a lot: gmail, facebook, ebuddy, music pro, google maps, xda app, os monitor, rogue tools, astro, OfficeSuite Pro, etc ( cant remember... they're a lot! LOL)
Widgets: SD share, power control, Weather Widget (stoled from warbyte's build! cause he made it work on landscape mode!), google search, music pro widget, facebook widget.
I had another question: when i boot, there's a line that says somethng like mount MD mtdblock3 or something and then: block "89" is bad is that normal???
Edit2: had a FC over system.android but this time it didnt reboot! I just pressed Force Close and system started up normally... Rebooted, FC on officesuite, astro and other apps where missing.... Im so confused at this point... dunno whats causing the problem....

It's probably for the best, i wouldn't be using it either if it wasn't stable but luckily i have no issues. Like i said if i was getting the same issues it would be easier to solve.

That is the problem, both of the CM dev's are not experiencing the exact issues many people are referring to. I think if whoever was having the issues detailed what kernel they are using, how they installed and a time frame of when it happened and what apps are installed it would help a lot to figuring out whats going on.

Yep, that's normal, don't worry unless you get loads of them, i get 2 bad blocks at the minute but yaffs automatically doesn't use these.
The only other thing i will say is that i only use 1 home screen with no more then 2 widgets loaded because it saves a lot of ram, it can easily be a widget such as sd share causing the issue. It sounds like your quite settled on fat free froyo but if you do try cyanogenmod again try using it for a while with minimal widgets loaded, like google search and power control for example.

Ok... reduced to 3 (cant use any less!! ) removed officesuite pro, remoded facebook widget and SD share widget... actually i dont need it if I can unmount my SD but im too lazy... I ended up with a more stable system! I noticed that if I run a lot of apps at the same time (music, fb, maps, wifi, gps, etc) the charge stays at -30 mAh even with the phone plugged in! I think the problem was migrating from donut to froyo! i was used to have a lot of apps loaded, and a lot of homescreens and widgets....

[Q] sense roms and force close

Ive looked all over the net and xda for what this means and what's causing this, but its one of those ask 10 people, get 10 different answer type things. It seems that every sense rom i flash, i end up getting "process com.htc.bgp" has stopped working or something to that effect, then it force closes. Not sure what this is and any help would be nice. Thanks for taking the time to at least read this.

it usually is when you remove to much htc stuff

lol...guess that would explain most of it. I do remove a decent amount of apps, guess i shouldnt. Thanks for the speedy response too, Joel.

not sure if this already posted, but wondered if i froze certain apps via titanium backup, would it cause that message to appear also?

yea freezing them is sort of like removing them because HTC no longer reads them as apps

the following i have found to be safe to remove
stocks app and widget
flicker app
twitter app and widget
peep app and widget
facebook app and widget
friendstream app and widgets
I have not recieved that message on the following roms
kingdom all versions
uber shift
redemption rom 2.4
nils business gingersense all
uber kingdom all
my guess on what you cant freeze or remove are:
Mail app
messaging app (i know it sucks compaired to market ones but if you remove it issues arise)
clock app+widget
calander app+widget
htc likes
htc hub
dialer (duh no dialer cant make calls)
sense can be removed but not with titanium backup
people.apk (address book dialer will use this)

Google Now working on T Mobile GS3

Full credit goes to author of the below thread. Got Google Now working 99% on my stock rooted Tmobile GS3. What is the 1% not working? Once you launch the app if you dont perform any search, back button does not exit the app. So need to close it from task manager. Also sometimes after you enter the search text, enter key does not initaite the search, so hit menu -> refresh. Other than that the cards, talk back, quick and accurate response, voice search etc works just fine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224

Try to reinstall it beacuse on my device I am able to exit Google Now with the back button. I am rooted running FreeGSM R5, Faux Kernel and High Def In Color theme.

i'm guessing we're ARMv7? and which of the 5 apk's did you use?

oh wow. lol they over-complicated it for no reason then.
so even if we already have an older version of Google Now, same steps? it'll overwrite the old one, right?

y sir, atleast with me it did.

Do the cards take a while to show up because I've had it installed for a few hours but still don't get the weather card. I'm using the mikey m6. Everything else works.
t-mobile sgs3 stock rom/rooted

Stupid question but have you asked for the weather ? Because that was the first thing I asked and started getting cards. Also when in the app hit menu and go into settings I beleive that there are more options.

I have been using it for the last 2 days and it's such a gimmick. It doesn't give me the cards that I am expecting and need and most of the time I do a voice search instead of a card I get thrown to Google even tho I have a card set up for let's say my favorite sport team. Kind of wack.

How do I remove it? Google Now is one of those products that's probably gonna follow Google listen etc after a few years...

See u guys are getting the wrong impression of google now it does not work right with stock roms and has a phony voice. It was awesome on my gnex and was super quick and cards showed up when i needed. It finally is working great on cm 10 ....p.s. the inverted google now looks sick

Google Now will keep me from flashing to JB if the only thing that I can do with the double tap home function brings up Voice Dialer instead of Voice Search. Only fix is deleting the entire Google Search apk, which nullifies any benefit Google Now brought to the table. Sad, I actually liked the app...

Anyone having issues?
Hey guys. I was able to put Google now on my rooted SGH-T999 and it works wonderfully. I'm running CM9 and I can't wait to see what this can do. I was experiencing one issue though. Sometimes, after I search, I will click on one of the websites it shows me and the link won't open. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Or any other issues with Google Now? Thanks guys!

The only issue i have is that if your launch Google now and don't search anything, pressing the back button won't exit the app. Need to use menu > refresh. Not a big annoyance since most times the app is used to search something. I wish location services would work just using gps, but you need to enable cellular triangulation too for that. I feel like triangulation will drain battery unnecessarily.

They have fixed that issue, I am using reekotub's v3 of Google now, and it works almost perfectly. They have also made a fix where voice search can be mapped to double tapping the home key!

[ROM][JB]UNOFFICIAL Codename Android 3.3.1-- questions

I can't ask in the dev forum and I don't see a General thread for this ROM. Since this seems to be the best JB rom for our phone, we probably need to have a place to discuss things outside of the Dev thread. Anyway, I have some specific things I want to ask about...
1. Lock Screen question -- Is there a way to add actions like the unlock or mute? I wanted to put the unlock in a different spot but don't know what Slider shortcut to use. I have tried looking through both the Activities and the Nova Activities. I just don't see how to do either of those two. Anyone know, short of installing another app or lock screen?
2. GMail double notification -- I may have done something wrong, but I can't find it right now. When I get a GMail email, I get two notifications. They are both the GMail symbol. And the notification drawer shows two items, one with a big chunk of the preview and one with the subject and "Important". I suspect I did something in GMail to cause this and it isn't ROM specific.
3. Pandora doesn't seem to work. I think I saw in the Dev thread mention of people having issues too. I only ever use it at work where I only have 3G, so I haven't tested on WiFi. What is irritating is that on my last ICS ROM I was running I had this issue solved by uninstalling it, rebooting and clearing caches, and reinstalling. I have tried that and fixing permissions. All in multiple orders and combinations, no luck.
Other than those three things and the standard 4G/FFC known issues, this is a great ROM. Thank you Mazda.

#1 issue.........this will come in the next update, stay tuned and it will come
#2 issue.........Try to uninstall gmail and install it again, I use gmail most then anything and I've yet to get this issue
#3 issue.........What exactly is the issue with Pandora?? If is a FC or something, could you pull a logcat and post it on pastebin and then provide me with the link?
Thanks and look forward to improving the ROM and making it great!

Great, thanks for the response.
#1, yea, it will work the way it is, I just thought the existing actions would do it and I just missed which one.
#2, thanks for that idea, don't know why I didn't think of reinstall, I guess I had it in my mind that Gmail is part of OS, not really a specific app. I just did it and will test. I am sure that will fix it since I think I did something obscure.
#3, Pandora acts like it is all working, I have logged in and have my playlists but when I select something is just doesn't play the music, sits on a song for some time (maybe buffering but not always) and then moves to the next song and tries to play that one but never does, then next song. Never playing music...
Thanks again for both responding and for the work on the ROM.

Just a thought on #2, but go in to your account settings and make sure you don't have notification settings for more than one inbox (ex. Inbox and Priority Inbox). I've had this happen in the past. Just change your account settings.

Sorry, I should have posted again. Reinstalling worked for me. But I think you are right in your suspecision, I think I might have had that Priority Inbox checked. Reinstalling resulted to starting over with configuring it though. I think it all started going downhill when I didn't have the sync set right, so I wasn't getting notified due to the sync not running, then start checking everything. Thanks.
Now the only mystery I have left is Pandora...

Not sure what the deal might be with Pandora. I've used it on and off in the past with mixed success. It might be worth seeing if it works with a different ROM. That might narrow down where the issue is, at least.

Question Facebook and Instagram FULLSCREEN

It took me a long while....
But I'm back one more time!
I've finally got Facebook locked into phone mode with the bar across the top not the side!
This
1 Stops cutting the sides of pictures
2 looks way better imo with it FULLSCREEN and the pictures nice and big
3 finally figured out how to stop auto updating.
I went as far as disabling play store to test if it was play store... Still updated..
So I've used app cloner with a few tweaked settings and she's now done updating finally!!!!
I was testing some modded apps but they all broke the stories button to add a story.
This works 100 as it should!
If anyone is interested let me know I will do a step by step!

One issue.. No notifications. I'm still on it will update later

if you need some additional users let us know. Whoever designed the apps for foldables was definitely smoking something lol

Please share a step by step method to optimise Instagram, thanks in advance.

I've been working nonstop to try and figure this out.
Facebook:
Option A
For Facebook, I can lock it from updating with a step by step guide the only issues are
1. I doesn't push notifications but does retrieve them
2. If a marketplace listing or Facebook link is sent to you through messenger it opens in the browser not the app, cannot get this fixed..
Option B
Install a certain version of Facebook and don't ever close the app out (this way all links open and messenger and Facebook read each other as they should) found the right app that keeps stories intact!
Guide; install 376.0.0.12.108 (arm64-v8a) (nodpi) (Android 10+) login force close once it will update once then leave it alone no closing it out. (App or phone restart will call for a reinstall)
Option c
I found an older modded Facebook app that will auto update after the first close to a current version without forcing the app to tablet mode
(This app blocks ads reals and stories but breaks connection to messenger completely, meaning if you click the top right messenger button in Facebook it will prompt you to install which it already is..
Instagram:
Download version 253.x.x.x.x and block auto updates
Messenger:
Found an ad blocked version that works but completely breaks connection to all fb apps.
Instagram is flawless
Facebook is silently updating every night at 12.. it's NOT play store, I disabled to test.
My current setup is option B for Facebook. I'm sure I will have to reinstall every now and then but it's worth having the full screen
I've been fighting this hard as I feel they really wasted some space and cut a bunch of all the pictures to make it work..
I've tried cloning the apk with messing with Android version, play store ids, everything
Option B is the best option with everything working nothing broke

Coming back one more time...
After trying to get Verizon on esim I had to restart and lost my Facebook and it has been fighting hard since....
Facebook setting, search media, device settings, media and contacts and shut off auto update app. I finally found it! Was hidden deep in the settings

Last reply. Updates turned off and I can finally restart my phone and do whatever without it silently updating.
Finally have won this battle !

You don't like the updated Facebook look with the toolbar on the side?

So what steps do I need to take to get INSTAGRAM full screen please ?

Interesting, I guess I don't notice pictures being cut off. I thought the new layout was better optimized for the fold screen. To each there own though.
