apps force close on Hero - G1 Apps and Games

I have found a few apps that force close as soon as I try and launch them while running the Hero build. In both cases the previous version works on Hero but their update does not. Any thoughts or help I can use or pass on to the developers?
Thank you,

Snap Photo Pro

Hmm, can't seem to download this anymore, stuck on Authorizing Credit Card...
I'm on Haykuro's ADP1.5Hr3, but mainly was wondering if others have checked out the Cupcake-compatible version. The note mentioned that you download the original version, go to About to find the link to download the Cupcake-beta version (DO NOT PUBLISH LINK, I'M NOT LOOKING FOR THE LINK, Bratag specifically said LINK is private for paid owners, I'm an owner, but can't prove that here).
If you have played with the beta version, can you do a review here? I'm really curious.
Basically, its the snap photo pro you are used to. No zoom or video. When you click on video in the app, it just takes you to the stock video recorder. Looks like all the options are the same tho
Just email him he'll send you a apk.That's what I did but you have to send him a copy of the receipt that you paid for it. It's pretty much like the dudes build camera.
hope this helps

Yeah, pretty much same app, just, at least for me, a bit more force closing.

I reported that it force closes for me when I go to settings (I wiped my phone) to the author of the app, hopefully a fix will be out soon
Ok the force close issue is fixed in the beta for cupcake as I have repeatedly said.
Ok to address the issues
1) This build is jsut to get the app stable on cupcake I am not adding new functionality. This may come as a surprise to everyone but cupcake isnt a magic wand that put new functionality into the camera.
2) yes it takes you to the standard video camera. I have two open bugs with google which deal with the fact that when I try and set a camera device as the input fr the video it force closes. This despite the fact the function setCamera has one purpose and that is to set a camera device as the input.
3) Zoom. It was in the sdk - it wasnt in the sdk. Dont blame me. HTC's camera is obviously built off the old sdk as it would seem is the device driver etc to go along with it. It sucks I know - deal with it.

whoa man I don't think anyone here was speaking badly about it, the op asked for a review. I use it as my regular camera again. I don't have any issues with it.

All I know is I paid for the app, put have no receipt to forward for proof. Worked fine and now does not with 1.5 build when applying settings.
Bratag, rather than get ruffled, why not wait for the final 1.5 build (which is now) and base the official update on that? The camera is way faster with 1.5and even more so than your app. Trying to update without a stable 1.5 build seems a little futile.
The combination of the 1.5 updated camera speed and your app features will be like peanut butter and chocolate (good stuff).

The update I have prepared is based on the final build. Sorry its been a bad couple of days. If you paid for the app then you know where to go looking for the beta version for cupcake. I have to say that the shutter speed etc in cupcake has been improved and you can see the difference in that and several other things in the pro cupcake release.
I'm really liking the new release for cupcake. Even if there's no new features, it's good to have a better camera app on the phone, I can't stand the default app. Keep it going, Bratag, and I look forward to future versions of Snap Photo Pro!
I was the first one with the cupcake build. It works great, a few force closes here and there, but overall pretty stable. When I first got it, there was a bug where you couldn't set it as the default camera app. I let him know, and he fixed it the next day.
Bratag thank you again for all your work, I hope you you solved your problems with those websites. It's a shame some people are assholes.
I know this thread is a bit old, but wanted to relate my own experiences:
I PURCHASED it, knowing that I needed to email Bratag for the 1.5/Cupcake update, and did so.
This was almost 2 weeks ago, and although I was sure he'd want to wait until after my refund time limit expired, I'm still waiting...
In case, Bratag, you need my email, it's [email protected], and the fee was paid thru Google Checkout. I can get my receipt, if you need it, but I already emailed it to ya'...

You were supposed to install the latest version and go to About to get the link for the Cupcake version.

Yup, that's all you have to do.
i downloaded the apk for pro....but it "force close" whenever i go to settings on my 1.5
Yes, it will F/C on settings. Instead of hitting Settings, click About instead, and download that APK it links to.
Install that, and you'll have a fully-working Snap Photo Pro on 1.5.
OK, that would be wonderful, except that I can't get SPPv1.30 to OPEN AT ALL. It F/C's as soon as it's opened, so how am I to get to the link in the about screen? I've tried on JF1.5 and Dude's newest (as of yesterday).
As well, WHEN I BOUGHT IT, the instructions were to email the developer, and he would SEND PURCHASER THE CORRECT VERSION. That is what I did, and am still waiting for him to do...
In the meantime, I'm stuck back on SPPv1.2.6/7 (still works OK), and waiting for a workaround that works...
Not sure I understand why he doesn't just separate the releases, and put them both on the Market. It would eliminate this whole issue, IMHO.
Well, elaborate, but what you could do is...
Make a nandroid backup. Flash back to RC33, and install Snap Photo Pro. Open up about and jot down the link. Navigate to it just to be sure you've got the right one.
Flash back to 1.5 and restore your nandroid backup. Download Snap Photo Pro for cupcake on the link you wrote down, and voila!

If he separated the releases, everyone would have to purchase the program again to have the 1.5 version. Obviously you would be just as pissed off about that as you are about not being able to get the 1.5 version to download.
Now, have you tried completely uninstalling the program, install the latest version from the market, and ONLY going to the about screen once it opens? I am actually running the market release on my ADP1.5, I can even use it (provided I don't try to enter the settings screen).
Or, maybe, just maybe... show some patience. As Bratag said, once firmware 1.5 is widespread (not just some EU/UK users and ADP phones, he will update SPP on the market.
Cupcake version is on Market now.

Original Tmobile Aim, Msn Application

Does anyone have them so that I can install them? It didnt come with thedude's cupcake
From what I seen , I think the cupcake update removes the "IM" messenger and just has google talk
Cupcake doesn't remove it, thedude, anf jf's and h's builds of 1.5 are made from the adp version of 1.5, so you lose the t-mobile apps (aim, msn, favefive, amazon store).
The only ones of those I ever used was the fave 5, and I just installed anycut and made myself direct dialers on one of the screens, its faster anyways

I doubt you will find it and I suggest that anyone who has it to not post it as it's closed source software.
If you want it that bad then maybe you should go back to RC builds.
You could always wait for T-Mobile's official builds.
Then again, you're going to get much better battery life if the MyFaves app isn't continuously polling the T-Mobile servers for updates.
I just want the "im" app , cause I have Thedude's cupcake with app to sd.

If you use a 3rd party IM client it won't use up messages, meaning you can probably save money on your phone bill by ditching them.
Even if you did get the IM app from the RC33 build or whatever it probably wouldn't work. When Haykuro's 1.5 builds were coming out the IM app didn't work at all. There are several third party IM apps that work just as well. Use Market until the official T-Mo rom is released.
Here ya go, its an early beta of Hi AIM modded by me.
When is the tmobile cupcake rom going to be released?
Soon™
(filler)
no need to get out of topic, I bet everyone sees that question everywhere
but back to topic....yea that's wat I ment lyingit not that "cupcake removed it" lol, and there's I think any other apps for other messengers are better that the stock ones. but that's my opinion

did an adb install and got an error:
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
any ideas?
you must not have root? or havent turned on programs from unknown sources in options... try putting on your sd card, and installing using appinstaller.
No I have the same prob. Runnin lucidrem mod of jf 1.5 and I've been installing non market apps fine till I got this. So any resolutions to this?

how to get older version of market apps?

Today i downloaded the newest version of Babbler for Android. i use Babble as my main facebook app because the official one is still lacking a bit. i do infact use the widget that comes with the official app though because its very nice. the newest version of babbler is pretty lame and a lot of the functions dont work as well as they did on the last version. is there anyway to revert back? i looked at the developers website but i couldnt find anything useful there. any help would be great!
More than likely if you weren't able to make a back up of the older version your out of luck. IMO the best thing to do is let the developer of the app know what problems you're having with it. Most of the android app devs are pretty quick to respond to issues with their apps. If it affects you it probably affects others.
Make a comment in the market or even better if available send them an email with as many details as possible.
go to the website cyanogen provided for the adp 1.6 image and download the 1.5 image
im not trying to go from donut back to cupcake. i am using a hero rom so im on cupcake by default. i want to downgrade to an older version of an application (babbler).

Fennec???

Could someone put the app together or post an APK that WORKS, please and thank you
P.S. Im assuming this will get moved to themes and apps
your talking about Firefox Browser correct?
if you are, then its in a very early pre-alpha stage. the only know build is for the nokia handsets running the maemo OS, which is in beta 5. there is also a alpha 3 version for windows mobile 6. there is still a lot of work that the Mozilla team has to do before they can even get anything running on the android OS.
If you assume its going to get moved, then you posted it in the wrong spot.
I have a build for the Android, and I have the error logs from the crash. I will work on it when I have time.
Please stop posting in the wrong forums if you know its the wrong one.

Wow, amazingly searching the forums may have worked for you guy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654951
Has anyone been able to get this to load? I get as far as the "launch" button then it disapears and goes back to the home screen (if you launch GeckoApp with your phone in landscape you dont get the force close...)
Thinking this phone does not have enough power since this installs to a 40+mb app. looks like it does have a lot of bloat installed with it for other OS's.
At least we know they are working on a android version!!

Market and the new upgrade

In trying to "fix" the Market app, I tried to follow the instructions posted in the other posts. I start Market, go to the applications, and under running, I am supposed to close out some buttons. But since I have upgraded on Christmas eve, I cannot find Market or Google.services.etc, that I am also supposed to close out some buttons. They are neither in the running, or systems section. I don't know if this is relevant, but on my gTablet, the only "settings" I have is the tnt setting app. I cannot get to the usual Android setup screen. I am using stock F/w. Thanks for any help on getting wide access to the Market.

Hey Reggie777, I don't run stock and have only really used ZPad and Vegan ROMs, and the method you've described works flawlessly on both those ROMs. I can't speak with much authority about the stock ROM, since I installed ZPad within a few minutes of getting my G Tablet out of the box, but I do know you can also follow Roebeet's method with Titanium Backup that will certainly work on stock or on TNT Lite.
See this thread here for Roebeet's method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845175
Thanks for the reply, rcg. But I was hoping to do the wide fix to Market without any flashing of the ROM. I am coming to the realization that that will be the only way to get the most of this otherwise excellent tablet. It is such a shame when the "official" software/firmware actually detracts from the usefulness, and the value of the the product. Grateful to VS for the recent upgrade, but still a long ways to go.
