The main thread is getting over run with app complaints so i will update this thread with apps that DON'T WORK ONLY.
These aren't in the builds but arent bugs or anything else. They are just not there:
The camera button for H builds
Use K9 for Yahoo Mail if it doesn't work for you. others might work but this is what i use.
Landscape rotation in H
Astro works. wait 5-10 seconds and then press the back button. the pop up doesnt work so it shows a black screen.
wifi tethering now works
Now on to apps:
Toggle Settings(certain features)
Power Manager
Screen Crack
Any Clip Trial
SnapPhoto Pro
Useful Switchers(certain features)
Flashlight Apps
aNetShare(works on some?)
aHome Call list widget(causes frequent crashes)
Screenshot(for some)
iPing Pong 3D
Shake Awake
Scummvm
Klaxon
Wake Me
HideNSeek(0.93beta)
MyEbay
Imeem
Chomp SMS(for some?)
Alarming!
Moov(if you try to just type from the home screen it will force close.)
Dark Keys
Steel(with the slide tab enabled the screen is dark. with in not checked the url is darkened out but the screen is bright and easily readable.)
chompSMS
RTM Tasks
ToDoo
NBA 2 Go
On the latest 4.5 w/ apps on SD:
What doesn't work for me is:
Sweeter Home
Toggle Settings
Power Manager
Screen Crack
Any Clip Trial
SnapPhoto Pro
Useful Switchers (can open but force closes if any settings are changed)
FastBright
iPing Pong 3D (black screen if you try to start a game)
Air Hockey (Puck and mallets do not appear)
Backlight!
Now I didn't try re-installing any of these apps since they could have gotten corrupted when I switched over and re-enabled my pre-existing EXT2 partition. None of these are too essential and with the way these Magic updates are coming I don't like getting too comfy anyway.
Cheers.
there has some threads similar this.

I mean't for this to be about the market apps alone so that the bugs threads won't get flooded with app complaints. I'll change the title to reflect that.

Air Hockey Demo works fine for me 5.0.2H apps and data on SD.
What does NOT work for me is Market.
Note: Presumably because of /data/data on SD, I had to clear the cache/data from settings->applications for a lot of apps before they could start without force closing.
Pacman doesn't work. You can't even download it.
The market is still working for 5.02H, but I understand it's not working for 5.01g as of today.
I am having a problem with Shake Awake. It always force closes for me with 5.0.2H.
I'm also having problems with Shake Awake force closing on every phone call. Also MyEbay isn't working - just a black screen until you press back and for a split second the screen comes up.
I'm on 5.02H
Scummvm also does not work
There is a "Cupcake" version available on the dev's website, it also force closes upon startup
HideNSeek (0.9.3 BETA, the latest) doesn't work using Haykuro's 5.0.2Hr2 port. It just crashes when you open it.
You can add Imeem to the list. I tried it in both H and G builds. The music never starts. It just gets stuck in an infinite loop loading the album art over and over again.
add Quickpedia to the list
neither working on H and G builds apps NOT on sd.
Google My Tracks sorta works. If you want to view all of the textual information for your track, it crashes. The GPS will lock on and track you on the map, and it will let you record, but you can't view the text screen.
I've found most GPS applications don't work. Anything based on Maps works, but things that read out data from the GPS like speed and log/lat info don't work.

The kernel for the builds is missing something called netfilter so it won't work on them. The next update will hopefuly have a fix for this.
k9-sms?
for me doesn't work k9-sms on 5.02H
dont go to hayruko builds!!!
they're not fully stable...

None of the one thousand flashlights work, lol. Well, they work but won't make your screen any brighter like they did on the RC builds.

We all know they are a little unstable and using apps that aren't compatible makes it worse. This is not the thread or even the subforum for your complaints so take them elsewhere cause i dont want them here.

Pacman works fine for me on 5.0.2Hr2. I had to reinstall it from the Market.
Sorry if this is a naive / frequently asked question, but I've searched and haven't found an answer.
Does anyone know why trackball colors only seem to work for mms/sms in CM6 / enom 2.9.2 (and possibly on other custom froyo ROMs)?
Enomther's ROM even has settings for different apps, but they only seem to work for sms. Other notifications come through with the standard white flash.
I thought froyo was supposed to have native support for trackball colors?
Is it just the apps don't support it, but if that's the case how come some of the apps that bring up colored trackball notifications on custom 2.1 ROMs don't on these 2.2 ones?
Did you try enabling "Trackball flash while screen on" on Enomther?
Trackball colors in Froyo are pre-selected and you can't change them, unless you use Trackball Alert app, or use custom ROMs. Also, the phone wouldn't flash anything by default when the screen is on.
I know you can't change the colours on stock 2.2, but I'm talking about custom roms (CM6, Enom).
The only notification color I can get to work is mms/sms, on either of these roms (screen on or off).
Every other app/notification gives a white flash (and on Enom's rom it doesn't matter what I set in the spareparts trackball settings).
Just tried it on Enomther with Email notification, indeed stays white.

Gmail app does not have trackball colors is enom's ROM, it has been this way for as long as I can remember.
SMS, voicemail, missed call and the native Email app all light up for me the colors I select.
Gmail Notifier will give you different colors on stock Froyo or custom roms. It's what I use.
In the development section there's an active thread that enables trackball flashing in succession of all the alerts you have waiting...Those mods are a hit and miss as they will work with some (CM, Modaco, and some others) but DONT work with a few as well. If you try them out, just make sure you nandroid because if it doesn't play nice you'll get stuck in a loop during boot animation

Cool, thanks. Got confused, thought that Email stands for Gmail too.
Tried using Gmail notifier, the major problem with it is that it can't be turned off. And I allow Gmail notifications only on special occasions. Guess I'll stick with the white light.

didn't know that about turning it off...Locale sort of puts my phone in the correct mode to take care of this, but I'm finding the location setting lagging quite a bit or sometimes not picking it up at all.
Colored trackball flashes for Gmail work for me on on Enom's 2.1 rom (1.9.2), but not on the 2.2 version.
CM6 you can on the MMS, the rest, there is no option for color. It doesn't support the trackball alert either.
Yup, but my question is: Why?
2.1 based custom roms had coloured trackball alerts for everything.
why not 2.2?

Enom has colored alerts for everything but Gmail, but you can download gmail notifier and get lights for everything.
Most other 2.2 roms work with trackball alert for colored trackball alerts.
Im confused on what your asking for?
As I say, I can't get any to work apart from mms on enoms 2.2.
It's not just gmail that doesn't work for me. Missed call, answer phone message etc are all white flashes too, no matter what I set (this is with a fresh install btw).
CM6 is just a release candidate. Given some time I'm sure a lot of liked features from previous CM's will begin to work there way back in.

Possibly look at your install. If it is working for everyone else and not you im leaning towards a bad install or backup.
I personally hate titanium backup as almost everyone who reports issues with installs uses it.
As a sequel to my Cyanogen Nighlies thread, I thought it appropriate to create a celebratory post linking to the stable release of 6.1.0 for the Droid Incredible.
Please reply with your experiences, inquiries, and love for one of the smoothest, rock solid ROMs available for your device. I am also open to ideas about what else to include in this OP including links to themes, juicy nuggets of relevant info, or known issues (should we find any that are repeatable).
For now, please enjoy this excellent release, and kick a few pennies up to Koush. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Download link (or just grab it from ROM Manager):
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=inc&type=stable
Known issues:
-Cyanogen default auto brightness adjusts only once, so moving from light to dark results in protracted dim settings.
-While disconnected from the charger, trackball wake will intermittently fail. This is a known bug and has been filed as such.
-Flash Test does not do anything for applications that don't have a customized setting. It should still blink using the systemwide default green when a real event comes in.
Solution Sets/Workarounds:
To install the new Market and avoid FCs:
1) settings-applications-manage and delete cache for the market
2) wipe cache
3) wipe dalvik cache

"Best" is certainly a relative term, however my personal preference for both speed and battery life is invisiblek's AOSP kernel.

Which version do you prefer?
Incredibleks. Best Kernel ever. Seriously, for AOSP Roms, it is the choice. Seriously, overclocking on a snapdragon is pretty pointless. The speed differences are pretty much non-existent.
op link is messed up. you got an emoticon stuck in it
wow.. it took a while but nice to see it make final.. seemed like it was never gonna make it past rc status
I'm on 17 and love it but it appears that different kernels are acting differently on different phones. I was on 18 for a while an noticed that battery life wasn't as great and went back to 17, while other people said that 18 was better than 17 on their phone. Now 19 is out and if you look at the last couple of pages half the posts say that 19 is the best yet for battery and the other half is reporting ridiculous battery loss. You're probably best off getting the most recent one listed on the first post (#18).
Great ROM. I was running the nightly for literally a day only to come back at night and see a stable. This + the Gingerbread theme + Gingerbread Launcher will hold me over until the source drops for GB and we get a port
L.E.D don't work when getting text,mail,etc... other then that runs smooth. Thanx for all the hard work u guys put into these!
One question I have is this: I know how to remove the status bar widgets, but after doing so I'm stuck with that blank space normally occupied by the Verizon Wireless banner. Is there a way to put that back in there so there isn't that gap?
Odd that I want it back I know, but some things I'm just anal about.
Is there anyway to make it so that when you unlock and turn off the screen its instant instead of the fade out effect?

What's wrong with the stock kernel? Invisiblek are very solid but going to give koush's stock kernel a try.
On a side note, does anyone know if the stock kernel has smart ass governor on it?
Optical pad wake
Is anyone else having a problem with the optical pad wake only working once in a while? It always works if the phone is charging but if it isn't charging it's like a 30/70 chance of it working. It seems to work if you hold it down for like 5-10 seconds but that sucks.
Does anyone know how to make it so when I install this ROM all of my apps do not auto reinstall from the market...? My old wallpaper from an AOSP i had like 4 months ago still pops up as default also!
Even if I select "do not backup apps with google" it does not work. I have also tried formatting my SD card, and phone storage to no avail...
I want to install this, but everytime I have installed an AOSP ROM and then a theme, it goes haywire because there is some sort of backup file I can't find.

I noticed this as well. Also on lockscreen when phone and messaging tabs ate there the messaging one doesn't open messages. Hope I made sense new to xda forums and trying to help.

There's a bug report for this but no one has been able to fix it. I believe it's the trackpad sleeping when not on the charger.
Sometimes a long press and then a short one works.. sometimes it just works.. other times you have to hold it until the screen comes on..
My power button is broken so I live with the press and hold..

During the first setup, skip when it asks you to set up an account. Then run a google app like Market, GMail, etc. and sign in. Contacts will sync but applications will not.

What about the calendar? Same deal?

Hi to all
I have a N1, and I'm pretty happy with it with Darktremor A2SD that solve the memory problem...
And I use the nightly of CyanogenMod 7 08.21.2011
I have this issue and I'm pretty tired of rebook my phone everytime:
1. sometimes and I don't know why, my keyboard became crazy, if I press letter A became Q if I press Space became N and if I press Enter became Backspace and starting to delete everything I've wrote...
Then everything is crazy I can't even tap on the option menu so I can select reboot, or shoutdown....all is solved with a reboot
2. Facebook and twitter notification or even whatsapp notification are really strange...sometimes whatsapp doesent ring, facebook sometimes alert me for a new notification, and some times not, and when I open the app I have no new notification, but I've recieved a mail from facebook that I have something new on it -.-
Even if I pull down to refresh nothing happend, I've tried friend caster and it's the same thing...
Then everything works like usual, and I don't know why...
For twitter it's the same...
I thought it was DT A2SD but I'm not sure...and 192Mb of internal memory are really too too low
Of Course it's a bit annoying...
do you think that I have to use cyanogen stable or at least 7.1 RC1? or I have to use another rom?
thanks a lot in advance
1. It's called "crazy screen", not crazy keyboard. Solved with turning the phone's screen off and on with power button. No way around it whatsoever. You can read tons about it in the forum, and read FAQ, question 5.
thanks a lot, and for the notification and rom?
Facebook notifications are horrendous for working properly. If you are getting notifications for new messages, then it is most likely people using the IM client trying to message you. Facebook still hasn't figured out a good way to notify people of that.
But I am not having notification issues with any other apps, so you might want to try uninstalling those apps and reinstalling them. Also, make sure that they are stored on "internal" memory (according to the app properties, since it doesn't take into account ext partitions).
I think the latest nightlies are far more stable than 7.0.3 or 7.1 RC1. There have been a ton of bug fixes and improvements that have been added since RC1 was released.

Are you using any screen shield? If so, peel it off, it would make this issue a lot less annoying... I was using one and like 4 or 5 times a day my screen went completely crazy, I wasnt able to do anything about it, I remember rebooting the screen and neither it fixed the issue... It all got fixed when I took the ****ing shield out...
If that doesnt fix it... Get use to it, thats the only thing I REALLY HATE about my nexus...
Hi guys, I really hope I can get some help here, can't find anything about the problems I am encountering.
I am using this phone for about 4 weeks now, and it's working fine, except for some problems with widgets. I have problems with 3 apps/widgets now; they all worked fine on my old phone, a HTC Sensation XE (rooted, with different ROM's and Android versions). They all have strange behaviour. At first I thought I had some settings set wrong in the apps themselves, but I tried everything I could think of and now I have to conclude that the problems start with the phone itself.
I am encountering problems with the following apps:
aCalendar+: widget, but also opened app get in some kind of update loop; sync icon starts spinning, stops and immediately starts again, and on and on. It does sync properly though in the meantime.
Plume: Most of the time the widget does not respond to manually syncing. Only after I open the app and sync manually (which works fine), and go back to the widget, I can finally sync using the widget.
Transparent clock & weather: Most of the time, the clock does not keep track of the time, it just hangs. Only when I tap the widget, or refresh the weather, it syncs with the internal clock, like it should. Sometimes though, the clock does keep track for a short time, but in the end it will hang again.
I tried out a lot of different things with the P7 energy- and network apps settings. Also I upgraded to firmware version 126, but it all doesn't make any difference. It's all really annoying, especially because I never had those issues on my old phone.
Anybody got a clue?

I was able to reproduce your problem and solve it.
Please set this app as "protected app". You didn't have set it, so the app would be closed then the screen get off.
You can set this: Settings -> Protected Apps -> Check the checkbox of this app.
Then your widget is working.
Then an app don't set up as protected, the app would be closed on screen off.

Thanks for your help, I already tried that out before. It do not think it made a difference though. Anyway, the time freezing issue also happened when using the phone for some time, I mean without screen off time, so it should not make any difference. But in the meantime I updated the app, and that seems to work.
The links for the other apps:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.withouthat.acalendarplus&hl=nl
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.levelup.touiteur&hl=nl
I contacted the developer of Acalendar+, and as far as I understood there should be an update coming in the near future that should resolve the problem. I installed another calendar app in the meantime, which just works flawlessly, so maybe I just stick to that one...
I hope Plume gets a working update too, so I can enjoy me phone without being annoyed
Thanks again for your effort!

Oops, I just found out you were right about the protected apps thing. I have not had the issue with the screen active since the last update, but indeed, after screen-off time, the issue is back again. So I guess I should indeed use the protected apps setting.
I don't understand why this is necessary though. I mean, the internal system clock just carries on ticking in standby mode, so why wouldn't the app just sync with that automatically when I activate the screen? Or would it be so that the app has always been active in standby mode on my old phone, and is it only because I now have this protected apps mode on this new phone that I am getting aware of this? If you understand what I mean, this is quite hard for me in English...

I've experienced similar issues. Like you I use aCalendar+ which is very good. However I don't use any of the widgets that come with this app. I prefer Smooth Calendar instead. So far, no problems at all. And as for the clocks, it seems a bit hit and miss. I was using DIGI Clock Plus but had no end of trouble with it. It just won't update on wake up. Protected or otherwise. I've given up on it. The clock widgets from HD Widgets work just fine. There's an amazing array to choose from. Maybe it's an Android issue, maybe Huawei. Who knows? I think the best solution is to find apps and widgets that work and discard those that don't.
