News360 for Phones widget does not work on GN/ICS! - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I'm pretty sure it's a ICS issue since both myself and a friend with a LTE Nexus have same issue but wanted to know if anyone got this working. The News360 for phone app works perfectly when launching the app directly and the widget displays fine. However, when I try to launch a story from the widget I get a black screen and the phone starts getting unresponsive. I have to hit home a bunch of times to get out and then eventually the app crashes. I've opened something on their GetSatisfaction page so if you are having this issue please go there and vote it up so they will hopefully fix it. It's a great app and the widget looks/works great on our GN but we just need it to be fixed.
Thanks.

[Q] Twitter app

The standard twitter app constantly crashes on my Galaxy Nexus - does this happen with anyone else? Tweetdeck doesn't exhibit this behavior but I would like to use the generic twitter app.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
No issues myself, bar it not notifying when it should
Mine doesn't crash per se, but it is still not optimized for ICS as far as I can tell. Like hitting the home button does not take me completely to ghe top of the list.

I wonder why it crashes for me...I am running 4.0.1 straight out of the box ics. Frustrating to say the least.
Yeah I am getting crashes sometimes as well, usually when I scroll through the list of tweets, always opens back up and runs fine after the crash

[Q] Tiles not working?

Hi guys from xda,
I often get the problem of tiles not working after using my surface RT for some time.
I am still able to scroll around and live tiles are still working therefore it isn't the tablet hanging, or anything that has stop responding.
Tapping on any tiles just would not launch the app.
I'm wondering if anyone have the same problem as me ????
Please help!
Thank you

Oddly enough this happened to me for the first time yesterday. The Google app quite working and crashed, and after that Google and the Store app wouldn't respond to a tab to open. I don't remember if I tried anything else. Desktop apps still would open. System was feeling rather sluggish too. I hadn't rebooted in quite awhile though. A reboot fixed it, but I too am curious if there was a way to resolves this sans reboot. I suspect some process related to the Google app got stuck, but I don't know what was up with the Store...

PAC-Man ROM problems

This is the first time I have used a PAC-Man rom, and I have spend a half hour trying to find a couple of settings. If anyone else is familiar with the ROM, and can lend a hand, I would GREATLY appreciate it.
Ok, first off, where to I set the screen timeout? I don't see the setting under the normal settings->display options.
Second, I found that when I look at my recent apps, I see a little app bar with Apollo music player, camer, calendar, calculator, twitter and a couple others in it. Is there any way that I can customize these shortcuts? I play all my music through Google Play Music, and would love to substitute Apollo for it.
For now, that's all I can find (or can't find) wrong. Finally having an S-Off One is really showing off how awesome this phone is.
For the display timeout. Settings>Display&Lights>Sleep.
As for the bar in recents, I'm looking for a way to customize it as well.
Have you noticed any problems with WiFi or loading videos at all? For some reason I can't play Videos through the web or app for YouTube. And my WiFi seems to run at about half speed when I run a speedtest, compared to other devices.
I had problems for a while with YouTube, but without really doing anything it started working (I may have rebooted due to problems with my home screen). I haven't seen away to customize the shortcuts on recent apps yet either. Have you guys charged at all? Mine phone got pretty hot.

I've been running the ROM since we got rumrunner, and I've noticed my phone actually runs cooler while charging and normal use.
I just happened to wake up in the middle of the night and checked it. It was cooler than usual like you mentioned. I dont know what the deal was.

Have you had problems with a laggy launcher at all? Sometimes when I return to the home screen from an app, none of my icons or widgets show up until I hit the app drawer.

I still have yet to figure out how to change the recent apps. I haven't noticed my phone getting hotter than normal, so I'd check to see what apps you have running.
I also haven't had any issues with YouTube, but for some reason, Google Search doesn't want to work. It just looks like it keeps trying to load and nothing ever comes up. It states that a new version is available, but when I try to update, saying that the "Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again." So, whenever I need to search for something, I have to go into chrome and search, which is a pain.
I updated to the 10/13 nightly and it seems to be running pretty well. Battery life is a bit better too. In the PACman thread it sounds like the 10/14 nightly didn't quite build right.

PAC-Man seems to be the best of all worlds. Unfortunatly, I have had little luck with it on any phone I have tried it on. Works great on my Samsung 7.7 tablet but tried it on my GNEX and S3 and I would have constant issues. Very laggy and random reboots. Some apps also did not place nice with it on the GNEX and S3. I have not tried it on the One as Vanir seems to be running really good.

I did have some issues with lag, but after switching to Nova launcher I haven't had any problems. It does sound like the most recent nightly has some fixes for the laggy launcher. Other than that minor issue, this ROM has been pretty stable.
I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

[Q] Cannot run splashtop in background

So I recently tried splashtop and was amazed. It's an incredible desktop remote app and works perfectly from even external networks. Any who... I noticed that the app crashes anytime I try to run the app in the background and go do something else. At first I considered this acceptable because I figured the app would naturally be unable to be run in the background.
Well I showed my mom this and installed the app on her Note 2012 model and tried running it in the background. It didn't crash. It didn't turn off. It ran perfectly in the background and when I brought the app back up it was where I had left it, still connected to the PC as if I had not pressed the home button at all...
So whats the deal here?
Try not the HD version. They are the same. I had bought the HD version. It doesnt crash, but it is impossible to quit with back key. You have to push the Home key. The standart version doesnt have this bug.

laggyness with certain apps

I've had the zenwatch for almost 2 weeks and i will be keeping it. That being said here is a heads up, i found that using the app facer to make watch faces and using wear mini launcher together causes a good bit of lag when performing any action on the watch. to remedy this issue i downlaoded watch maker and low behold the lag went away. so if anyone is haven a lag issue check into what apps you are use to make your watch faces and also what launcher u have choosen. hope you guys find this helpfull .
So, did you uninstall wear mini launcher ?

no i switched to watch maker it works better with min launcher
I've actually had this happen a number of times and I'm not sure why. It doesn't seem to have a consistent cause. Usually it'll be when I install a new app or something, but it's happened other times as well, but it doesn't happen consistently with one app or another. For me, the lag shows up as the screen basically being frozen without being able to control anything. Eventually, it will unfreeze and I'll usually see the mini-launcher screen, but even a restart with the back button won't solve the freeze.
For me, it was worse when I had Mini Launcher installed, but it still happens occasionally without it. I no longer have either Facer or Watchmaker installed, either. I'm using the Weather Watch Face, though. I wonder if it has something to do with watch faces in general?
When I was using Mini Launcher, apps would almost never launch the first time I tapped on them. It would go back to the watch face and freeze for a few seconds, and force me to go back to Mini Launch and tap again. Without Mini Launcher, this still happens occasionally from the built-in Start... item, but much less frequently.
I have all 3 installed and it doesn't seem to lag too bad. I guess I don't interact with it the same as I would with a phone so it doesn't bother me at all. Whenever I get a card it interacts with it seamlessly, that's about as much as I need it to do

Interacting with cards hasn't been a problem for me, either, it's launching an app that's not already running that seems to be the issue. Sometimes (or almost every time for me with Mini Launcher), the new app doesn't come to the foreground, and the watch appears to hang for several seconds. It then has to be launched a second time to become visible.
I've definitely seen it lag like that. Hopefully it's just a software issue with android wear being so new and updates will help fix that. It's got plenty of processor and ram torrun the tiny apps no problem
I noticed a considerable amount of lag while using mini launcher. To the point that I didn't even want to show off the watch to other people because it made it seem terrible. Major difference since uninstalling, lag free now. I also use Watch Maker and a few Play Store watchfaces with no lag issues.
Wish we could move the start menu to the first selection on the tap screen instead of the last, then I really wouldn't care about a separate launcher.
1+ for deleting mini launcher. I like the app but its so dam laggy. As far as Watch Maker app works at times for me so I deleted that as well. I was using Facer until I ran into Intellicom which seems to be very easy to use and no change in my battery life.
I think this is more of a symptom of using a single core A7 processor. I imagine all of the governors and IO schedules are set up for battery life so that probably doesn't help either. It might just be coincidence that you are running something while a background task is also running.
