I've tried just about every reasonably rated run/bike app on my Aria (Endomondo and RunKeeper seem to be the best) and always have the same problem.
I start them before a run/ride, but shortly after I begin, my screen turns off and the app seems to close. It actually is still running (when I press and hold the Home button, the app appears), but when I reopen it, my current run/ride has terminated.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way to keep the app going when my screen turns off?
Thanks in advance.
i use runkeeper and dont ever have that problem, the screen normally stays on the entire time unless i manually lock it or change screens
i dont even know how to change the settings to make it do anything different
I also use runkeeper without any problems (running Liberated Beta 5). I start the application/activity, lock the screen, and it runs without fail either in the background or as the primary running application.
Are you using some kind of automated task killer or battery saving application? That is the only thing I can think of that would explain the closing of the app when your screen shuts off.

I never saw your trackboost suggestion. I did a search on the Market and it couldn't find it. Can you send me a link to it?

I don't use a lockscreen. I just turn off the screen with the power button.
Not aware of using any task killer or battery saving app. In my task manager, it is still running.

I tried widget locker and liked the way it looked, but you have to manually start the app every time you turn the phone on. I don't really care about all of the slide mods, but I would like to change the clock, font, etc. Is there a setting in Cyanogen that I'm missing? Any other app suggestions?
Has anyone ever tried this method for changing the clock font?
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/e1q7j/i_got_rid_of_that_stupid_lockscreen_clock_font/
Basically requires using Terminal to paste a new font over the existing font. I've never used Terminal and I don't have any experience in Linux. The program that someone mentions there (Type Fresh) has lots of bad comments on Appbrain about causing crashes and bootloops, so I think I'll stay away from that one.
are you looking to modify your system lockscreen or trying to find a replacement app (widgetlocker)?
for your widget locker problem, select start at boot and disable the 5 sec. rule.

If you don't want to use terminal, I'm pretty sure you can use ninjamorph which might be a little easier. As for widgetlocker, I'd say just do what kevina said. I've been using for the past week or so and it's been smooth and quick for me.
You could use tasker to autostart widget locker.

Ninjamorph doesn't work for this, nor did root explorer. I tried type fresh multiple times and it didn't work. After trying everything except using the terminal, I just changed the fonts in the rom's zip and reflashed it.
Thanks for the tips guys.. I reinstalled Widget Locker and I'm playing around with it again. I don't like how it takes over the Home button, but other than that it seems to be working pretty well.
Newest cm6.1 rc2 nightly has gestures and added support for phone and sms sliders on the lock screen. I can quickly access facebook, camera, sms, and phone without first unlocking the phone - I love it!
Which nightly are you on and does it seem pretty stable? I do have that same functionality you are talking about with Widget Locker... but if I can have it through the OS, I'll just use that.
I just got Widget Locker the other day. I love it!

Also make sure widgetlocker is installed on your phone and not the sd.

thank you so much!
Curious how you achieved this. Mine just closes automatically
I just tried slingplayer as well and does same thing. Some programs just won't run on it at this time I think.
I have it working...sometimes. It's strange, about half the time it'll run ok and the other half it just closes like you guys have seen. It seems to have something to do with either free memory or another program using the sound system. I'm still trying to narrow it down, but it DOES work.
Did you modify accounts.db by chance?
No. The only system level changes I've made are nooter, multitouch and direct app installs (all done to the letter by the instructions on NookDevs). I've got Dolphin HD, Angry Birds, Slideme, SlingPlayer and AndTask installed.
It works for me but sometimes I have to restart it about 10 times to make it work.
Try opening it in landscape vs portrait.

That doesn't seem to have an impact as far as I can tell... When it does start it's always in landscape regardless of what the screen was before. It starting at all is still hit or miss even when already in landscape.
Well I figured out a system to get slingbox working (for me atleast). Run advanced task killer, try to open slingbox 3 times, if it doesn't work just repeat as necessary. Now mine boots every time now.. weird...
what version are you all running?
I have it working, but the picture quality is not very good. I have the HD box, and all I get is SD crappy quality.
mines work fine
Working fine for me as well.
Most of the posts not working are old. Maybe its a 1.0 vs 1.0.1 issue?

Mine works with no problem, but I'm running an old version.
Slingplayer works for me with my Slingbox ProHD but I can't get to the menu to change the input (device) nor can I edit the slingbox properties.
I´m looking for an app which easily let me swtich between Data-Connection on/off.
I´ve tested APN on/off widget and one which is called Toggle Data.
Both start and stop the data-connection correctly, but a few seconds after stopping the connection starts again, think thisis a HD2 specific problem, because these apps work with other phones.....
Has anyone found an app which works with the HD2 LEO?
there is a widget pre-installed that's called power control, i use it to turn on/off wifi, data, gps, and display light. I don't know if every build has it.
The build that i use has no widget called power control.....
There's plenty of widgets for this on the Market. Just do a search on there for things like "power control" or "control widget" etc..
I use SwitchPro. It's a paid app, but only cheap. It's VERY configurable and I highly recommend it.
I have tested Switch Pro.
When I try to enable/disable data connection, nothing happens.....

Are you using Gingerbread? I only ask because Gingerbread doesn't play nicely with some apps, and I found a lot of the toggles didn't work with Switch Pro on Gingerbread. I'm back to Froyo now and they all work perfectly.
Yes I´m using gingerbread.
Ok i guess this is the problem.......
Hi,
I use data enabler, its free to download from the market. It does not allow to turn off/on data connection, but it takes you to mobile network menu and with widget placed on home screen you get fast accsses to it. Works on Gingerbread without problem.
I recommend Quick Settings free from the market,does the job nicely.
Check on Market 'CurveFish'
Go to market and type in 'curvefish' They have a bunch or widget toggle switches for free. The one you will be interested in is their 'APN OnOff' app.
*Edit* Tried it, your right, turns off and then back on again. Sorry.
try Dataswitch its a free app

Agree -...it´s free and works perfect for me! (Rafdroid 2.3)
Try widgetzoid, it can do that and much more, one of my must have apps!
Apndroid works best for me, especially combined with 3g watchdog, makes sure i can't go over my limit

I'm looking to turn a hero into a media player for my daughter. Any recommendations for a rom? I have run cm7 and liquid sense on the hero. She uses my rooted evo on 3.5 sense and cm7 nook color all the time so sense is fine but am looking for a stable rom and OC kernal. Is anyone doing this? I would also like to remove the dialer.
Imo, for roms Cm7 & jbob's latest are fine if your just going to use it as a media player. Also as far as removing the dialer I wouldn't recommend that because more than likely you would receive alot of force closes. The dialer and the radio can however be disabled by doing this.
Open up your dialer and dial
*#*#4636#*#*
Then hit dial.
After that a menu will appear.
Then choose phone settings.
Then scroll down until you see radio.
Then select disabled/turn off radio.
Then press the back button until your home screen appears.
The dialer is now disabled. It can be opened but no calls can be made. To hide the actual dialer icon I think you can find a different launcher on the market that has the feature to hide apps/icons in the app drawer. I don't know of any off hand but you could try with the most popular launchers which seem to be Adw & launcher pro. But a search on the android market for launchers will give you way more results. Hope this helps.

Well, it's up and running if anyone is interested. Using the last CM7 nightly with mobo player, netflix, Google Music and other media fun. 16GB card packed with movies and music. MIUI camera but didn't see much difference.
I'm going to flash TeamheroC-7.2.0-RC over the nightly without a full wipe and see if I can avoid re installing everything.
i'm all ears for other recommendations\opinions especially for either an all in one media app or other video player with a nice widget.
I ended up not doing to EPSL code. I had gotten an app called Seal from the Amazon free app of the day and put that on instead to block the markets, phone and a couple other apps. Working nicely.
