Interesting concept searching.....:good::good:

sometimes even after searching it is still hard to find the answer to a question. it is much easier and more thorough to have a conversation with someone on the forums about the problem/question.
but then there are also times where it is very obvious that the person did not try searching for their answer.

Chrome problem.
I thought I'd throw this out there. I prefer chrome as my android browser but in crashes in any AOSP/AOKP variant. I search this thread and no one has reported and I understand not everyone uses chrome and I wouldn't expect you to. General internet search reveals some similar issues without a resolution. I tried clearing history and app cache. Using default input and alternative results in same outcome.
In a nutshell, chrome is OK until I try typing, such as good search or URL, then freezes and FC.
If anyone has a suggestion it would be appreciated as this is the ROM for me, and I've tried them all (because I'm a flashaholic)...my name is blah, blah blah.
Just a shot in the dark.
Thanks.

Have you uninstalled and reinstalled chrome? what about boot and reboot? My kid had a problem with a game he dl'd from the Play store until I told him to reboot. That seemed to clear the issue.

WM6.5 Facebook app available as cab, running fine on Touch HD

See following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489379
Works fine on my Touch HD. Using Dutty's Extreme 2.1 ROM. No configuration required after install. Slight issue with the error "101: Invalid API key" thing but this is minor. A definite improvement on SkyBook.
Would be great to have this available from a seperate tab on touchFlo3D.

Yeah, OK. I promise to be more diligent in my link posting next time!
I've now updated the original post.
It's working fine for me on Duttys 1.9 rom.
Not bad, needs a bit of work.
a bit slow
works fine on the original stock rom, but is a bit slow to perform tasks inside the applications like scrolling the pages up and down. maybe due to the 3g speeds in optus in australia. will have to try using the application in wifi.
I haven't tried this app using 3G but with WiFi there don't seem to be significant speed issues.
tested it out, looks gd, but when i sent a msg, said API error, how'd i know if the msg sent at all??

Thanks bro....works fine for me...
Far from perfect but it gets the job done, I kind of still prefer the look of http://iphone.facebook.com despite the decreased functionality.
great little app, a bit buggy but it can only get better and the UI is better than anything else I have tried on the Touch HD
left this running in the background overnight and this morning it comes into focus full screen saying "internet error" every 10 minutes or so.. closed it for now but may not like being left running.
I like the idea... would be nice to be able to drill down a bit deeper into the information it gives you before diverting you to the full website - no major advantages to using this over a shortcut on your internet tab imo.

[Q] Clockwork Mod 5.0.2 Not working

I just flashed 5.0.2 and I can no longer boot to recovery. I'm running:
ILWT CM7 b2 right now.
I can't reboot to recovery from the shutdown menu, or from ROM Manager. It worked once, and now it just sits there at the HTC screen. Any ideas? I tried to reflash it too from ROM Manager - same deal.
Open rom manager go to the bottom of the page, you can see an option that allows you to install a previus version of cwm.. it is called "clock work mod recovery (all)". try the previus version (3.0.2.4) install it... It should work...
sent from my HTC vision with synergy Rom using xda app
I flashed back to 5.0.1 - same issue. Could it be related to the ROM I have installed?
No. If you bothered reading any of the numerous threads speaking of this exact same issue..or looked in the clockworkmod thread you would see that recovery 5.X have issues. That's why the initial response told you to flash 3.0.2.4 not 5.

No clue man. Idk, my account was registered a while ago... if I post something, it means I either:
A.) Didn't feel like reading 500 pages on a thread where 90% of it is "cool ROM"
or B.) I couldn't actually find the result.
A handy "Ok, here's the answer" would be awesome. But alas, elitist dicks still exist on XDA. Forgot alll about that.
I have noticed an over-bearing douchey attitude in quite a few threads... Kinda makes you think twice about asking for help, which is retarded. That's the purpose of these forums, unless I'm mistaken...

Hey, don't assume! Check his post history before you definitively say anything about him - he might just be having a bad day.
Although, I am with you - XDA has two big problems - the people who actually are forget that google/XDA search exists (not saying that is you) and the people who think people asking questions must have an IQ below 50.
The first condition comes from people not using Internet comment sections (which I am all for, and never do) or forums (which are okay in moderation), and the second condition comes from people using comment sections or forums WAY too much.
Just look at Youtube comments. On the rare occasion I actually use that site and look at some of the comments, man... people are ridiculous when handed anonymity.
I apologize for moving so far off topic!
3rd edit:
Spastic909 is actually a cool person, fyi. I can recall numerous (though not specific) times just by looking at his avatar/name where he has helped me out.
"Mama always told me, if I ain't got nothing nice to say, then don't say nothing at all."
It's all good though, life goes on. I've seen it on XDA for a long time. It's fine. I'll just break my phone a couple times and figure it out myself. I don't post dickish remarks when I see stupid ****. I usually just laugh in my head and keep moving.

Testing it now. I was too busy cutting myself for being a lowlife and not searching every page on this entire forum for the answer :\
But now that I've half bled out, yes. You've helped me. I can't say the same for that other guy - considering he basically called me a **** for not doing specifically what you said. Whoops.
Not to start a flame war but I've seen numerous threads where it is mentioned, I had the same problem but ran into endless posts about it. Anyways not sure I saw an actual thread dedicated to it though.
Right - and you know how XDA puts "Similar posts" in the box before you post? I checked those too - and it searches everything, I saw nothing. I typed:
"Clockwork Mod 5.0.2 not working"
"Clockwork Mod Recovery 5.0.2"
All I got were threads on installing it. So... yeah, I did my thing. Anywho, going to go search a suicide thread on how to kill myself. Hopefully someone over there will guide me so I don't have to search cause I'm incredibly lazy.

The 5.0.2.0 does have many issues and I met the same problem too.
Solve it: reflash the recovery 5.0.2.0 via ROM Manager and it may fix, at least to my DZ, it works.
Just FYI, I think this is what you - and many others - are looking for. The last 10 pages or so, specifically.

Grand Theft Auto III HiRes patch GN V0.2

I uploaded a new gta3.set with best improvement.
V 0.2
- Breaks and Debris
- Accelerate/brake and steer at the same time (tks mixedlemon)
V 0.1
- Car lights, Lamps and Flashing Lights
- Detailed Shadows, Traffic Lights, Blood
- Hi Resolution
just download attached zip file (gta3HiResV02.zip), and copy extracted file (gta3.set) to: /sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3
- backup existing one
Basically it is .set file specific for Galaxy Nexus
Thanks man, not only does this look better but on my Nexus it also fixed the touchscreen issue of not being able to accelerate/brake and steer at the same time.
Do you think it's possible to get a fix so that we can jump out of moving cars? There's a bug that doesn't allow you to get out of a car until it has come to a complete stop? How else are we supposed to ghost ride cars into crowds of people lol?

I'm starting to think that it may have only been the international versions that had compatibility restrictions, even when it wasn't playable on the Nexus and specifically stated "Coming soon for the Galaxy Nexus" I was always able to find it in my market and buy it from my CDMA Galaxy Nexus on Verizon.
This is just my best guess based on not reading anything, so if anyone else knows more about the subject please correct me.
Have you tried using Market Enabler?
Back during the $0.10 sales I had to edit the build.prop files on my HTC Rezound to make it think it was a Nexus S in order to buy the Gameloft games. Perhaps you'd be able to change it to identify your device as a Rezound or some other phone on the supported devices list?
I'm not seeing a gta.set file... should I just place this one in there? or am I missing somethin?
edit: Nevermind, there was no .set file in there to backup, but dropping this in there actually made a huuuuge difference. Thanks alot.
So this will not work on Galaxy Note :?

I had this problem too at first. There's a number of different versions out, being in Australia I'm pretty sure we would've had a censored version. Try going to https://market.android.com/developer?pub=Rockstar+Games,+Inc. and see what shows up. I used to be able to see 3 different versions but only one was installable, though they must have updated it recently because now the other versions are hidden from me.

King Kang 3.3 on Epic 4g Touch

Hi.Last night I flashed over from PA 2.54 to King Kang 3.3. Everything works great except that my phone keypad is too large and the numbers kind of overlap. Also, on PA, I liked the tablet mode, but when I set the tablet mode on King Kang in PA settings, the status bar doesn't change to the bottom of the screen like it does on PA. is there something I'm not doing correctly? For hours, I tried adjusting different settings and can't get the same appearance as PA. Thanks for any help.

Because if they had READ the OP for the Rom, it clearly states the steps needed to be taken to achieve tablet mode.

Sorry guys. I'm sorry I posted this originally; I didn't mean to cause an uproar. Sometimes steps can be missed, even if it is posted. Evidently multiple people including myself missed it, which is why I posted the question. I've flashed many Roms, and seen this same issue in every OP.
I know what happened buddy. It's not a problem, that's what the forums are for. He was just saying most problems people have questions for have the solution right on the op. People just neglect to read it and ask questions first. NO need to feel bad for asking questions though.
Always remember almost any issue youll come across, someone else has already seeked a solution for. The op almost always has the answer you need in it. Or search will find it if not.

Strange, on my phone, after installer a couple of kitkat apps (google services, hangout, camera, keep, search, clock) there is no more "contacts" nor "phone calls" (the dialler) to be seen in my apps panel. Can't call anybody anymore :/
and hangout is always slow as hell to launch and work with (tends to kind of "freeze" on an empty screen page while loading / waiting for god knows what). Was used to this lagggggy UI with hangout, but it can't be so sluggish for SMS.

Strange, on my phone, after installer a couple of kitkat apps (google services, hangout, camera, keep, search, clock) there is no more "contacts" nor "phone calls" (the dialler) to be seen in my apps panel. Can't call anybody anymore :/

Try greenify from the play store. Your phone might be running out of memory or over loading the CPU. I don't have a single problem. The hangout app actually works faster than the SMS app for me!
Really weird that the phone and contacts apps disappeared though. Something went wrong somewhere. If you don't want to wipe then you can probably dirty flash your ROM to get them back.

No. It doesn't work yet. It FC's. Something is required somewhere. If we figure out what it is then I or someone will post it for you.
I've gotten all the Kitkat apps on my phone and I have no problems at all. I'm glad to see they finally updated their ugly email app. And the camera rotates a lot faster than before. Google Now is awesome. I had mixed feelings about the new launcher at first but its growing on me. The keyboard seems more responsive too. Also, the hangouts app isnt all that laggy for me. It does take a second to load everything when forst opened but after that, its fine. SMS works great with it in my case. Overall, they are great updates. I can't wait to try out the Kitkat OS.

First of all, I downloaded apps from here:
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/3...om-the-nexus-5-dump-search-launcher-and-more/
After you get them on your sdcard, most of them can just be installed like normal apk files.

Thanks. I am curious as you mentioned you have no issues, where others have had several; so I thought you had a particular method. Thanks, I'll check em out.

I dont know why people have been having issues. I'm running Kitkat right now. But when I installed all these apps on Jelly Bean, they were running fine for me.

This is just a thought. But when I installed most of these, I was installing them over system apps or I was moving them to system/app to make them system apps. Maybe that makes a difference.
Anyone using the new Google Keyboard? I found out you can type a whole sentence now with the swipe guesture without raising your finger. The space bar is recognized as a swipe input now. I think the developer(s) of the Swype keyboard did that not that long ago but now its in the stock keyboard. Just thought I'd share.
When you were running on jelly bean, did you had any problems receiving or sending any MMS on hangouts?

That's awesome! TIL
Would it work to add the priv - app folder? Would it be that simple?
