Locale won't let me add location condition

I rooted my phone for the first time this weekend and loaded Cyanogen MOD. Everything is working GREAT, except for one issue with Locale. When I go in to setup a a new situation it won't let me add a location condition. I hit the "Add Condition" button, hit Location, and all it does is go to a black screen for a second or two and then takes me back to the "edit situation" screen. After I hit location it looks like it's trying to load the normal location select screen but can't for some reason. Anyone ever see this or have any ideas why it might be doing that? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The app has worked flawlessly for me and I have always had root but I think the latest update made this feature not work which is unfortunate.

I installed the 4.0.2 Cyanogen ROM yesterday and setup a new location in Locale as recently as an hour ago. Do try an uninstall and reinstall of locale and make sure you're running the latest version of Google Maps.

I already tried un/reinstall of Locale to no avail. I just tried un/reinstalling Google Maps as well, but that didn't work either.
Any other ideas?

Try opening google maps and finding your location in there first. I did that and it magically started working again.

So, nothing I tried worked (even opening google maps first). I started to get more suspicious when I noticed a few other map-enabled apps would work as well (mymaps editor, weatherbug, etc). So I decided there must either be something wrong with the version of the ROM I loaded or something else I had done messed up something with the maps. Loaded the latest version of cyanogen and now it works great. Go figure.
Thanks for all the suggestions anyway.

According to the developers website they know about the issue and its being blamed on people with rooted phones. Their solution is to go back to an OEM build of Android which is total bull**** so I sent them an email letting them know.
"Why can't I open Locations after the latest update?
This happens frequently on rooted phones, phones running unofficial installations of Android, or phones modified in some non-standard way (e.g. running apps off of the SD card). Try restoring your phone to an officially supported version of Android."

Locations doesn't work on hacked phones, because the Android on these phones has a problem loading the Google Maps libraries. This is NOT a bug in Locale, and there is no code change in Locale that would fix the issue.
In order to investigate this issue, I've taken these steps:
1. Contact Google: Initially, this appeared to be a bug in Android. Google investigated and found that only hacked phones had problems, at which point they considered the issue closed.
2. Contact Steve Kondik (e.g. Cyanogen): He is looking into issue, but I haven't heard anything further from him.
At this point, there's just nothing else I can do. I can only suggest reverting to an official version of Android.

removed apps from market?

Hi everyone.
I'm really confused now, because several apps like pocket auctions and barcode scanner and a few more seems to be in a "cannot find it" mode, because after my factory reset on my hero, when I search the marlket it doesn't show up.
And yes, I've tried several approaches but still...nothing.
After several hours online searching, all I found was an old, buggy version of the app for ebay, wich didn't work properly, the barcode scanner seems to have vanished into thin air.
Does anyone know/experience the same?
Any solutions?
Can someone maybe post the apk file for the newest apk file?
Please reply to this, thank you.
Btw. I'm running the modaco 3.0 rom.

I too am using MCR 3.0 and I'm experiencing the same problem: can't see all apps, for example barcode scanner...
Does anyone have any suggestion?

Now I've tried downgrading my phone to MCR 2.8 without any changes to the market problem.
I installed the rooted version of the latest official htc hero software, and guess what...no luck.
I've even changed the recovery image from cyanogens 1.4 + jf to the RA-hero-v1.5.2, then installed the different roms after wiping every time.
I'm starting to think the apps has been removed from market, but since I find them on the android market website (from my puter without the download opportunity) I'm just confused.

hm no idea sorry, but you could try market enabler, which changes the country the market thinks your in! maybe they stopped showing those apps to your country or something idk but id try it! (need root which im assuming you have)

Hmmm....
I think it's the numbnuts at google that's the problem.
I have two gmail adresses, when I use nr 1 everything works fine, but with the other one the market problem really annoys me.
And even better, the second mail adress is the one I'm using on both phones and EEE puter.
The first mail adress where market shows everything, was not intended for my phones.
Yesyes, sounds like a stupid problem, but still, open source is open source, and if google somewhat had blocked my "phone's email adress" then they should call it partially random open source!
DAMMIT this pisses me off, I've used two whole days reading online to fix this.
I hope that it is another problem and not the email adress that's somewhat blocked partially from the market app.
Does anyone know if the barcode scanner and pkt auctions ebay are protected apps ?
EDIT 1:
Now I've tried using my HTC Touch Pro running the Android port lying around in here and another place
On that phone, using both my email adresses works, wich even the one that doesn't work on my hero works on the android port on the touch pro.
This is just something that frustrates me more and more, and I'm getting more and more confused now, this is REALLY weird.

Another thing is, I cannot find Market Enabler anywhere unless I wipe the phone and use another gmail adress.
I'm starting to suspect some kind of conspiracy here now !

So far I've created myself a new gmail for phone use, that is... for my android
Does any1 know if the G. guys register the mail adress in a database of some kind together with the uniqe android ID from the phone ?
I'm just trying to think outside the box here.
Since the problem with android market solves when I reset the google.apps in the settings->applications menu I guess there is some apple-like non-open source similar going on here, much like apple store and so on.
If this is not the case, please enlighten me.
And more important, please help us all with a solution to the problem.
For now whenever I want to look at apps, I have to change the gmail adress, reboot the phone and then search.
I can change the adress without booting the phone, find the "missing" apps in market but NOT install them.

[Q] Google Maps and Navigation

Hello,
I am using a Nexus One with Cyanogen 6 RC3 on it. I have also flashed the google apps addon pack in order to have those apps.
My problem is the following; Two days ago I was able to use google maps navigation without problem. However now, anytime I use two addresses in Canada (where I live) for "Get Directions", the "Navigate" link never pops up. However the Navigate link is available when I use two US addresses. This is especially weird because if I access the Navigation app directly from my app drawer, I am able to use navigation between canadian addresses.
Just 2 days ago I was able to use navigation from within google maps and suddenly I am no longer able to. People have said to re-install google maps but I cannot seem to uninstall the maps application. Should I reflash the google apps pack?
Further, I apparently had auto updating enabled for maps but am unaware of any update that was applied.
Any help to be able to use the Navigation from within google maps within Canada would be greatly appreciated. I hope it is clear what my problem is, if you need more clarification please ask

Im not sure what the rule is about first replying to your own thread however I do have an update.
I re-flashed the latest google apps pack found here xttp://mirror.kanged.net/gapps/
The pack was the same one that I originally flashed however it seems after flashing now I have navigation functionality from within Google maps again. I am happy to have my problem resolved currently but I am curious as to why my Navigation functionality disappeared in the first place.
Hopefully someone knows or can explain what happened so I can prevent this kind of issue in the future. Thank again for all your time

you can try flashing RC2 back, couse many people are facing this issue!

I'm still experiencing this issue. I switched to Enom's rom to see if it fixed it but nope. My Google maps navigate link is sometimes available and then just doesn't show up other times. I am able to use the navigate app. I tried uninstalling maps with titanium backup and redoenloading it from the market, but I still have the problem with navigate.

[Q] device not compatible

I have searched the forums, and performed some "fixes", but I still can't download certain apps from the market. Specifically Yahoo FantasyFootball this time, but there are others that also say "device not compatible" when I try to download them from the market. Specs are:
Android Version 2.3.3
Kernel 2.6.32.36-cyanogenmod
ROM VEGAn-7.0.0-RC1-Harmony
Build number GRI40
Any help would be appreciated!
Mods:
Should this be moved to a different category?

This is the one that I used. I went through about 5 before I found this one. Been working great for me. Same kernel, VEGAn version and build, hope this helps.

I could not see Yahoo Fantasy Football 11 in Market as well, but a Market fix made it show up. I hadn't done one of these Market fixes in a while, as I could find the apps I needed with a build.prop olympus hack. So try...
Bringup Market , press Home to put it in background.
Settings->Applications->System Applications->Market->clear cache, force stop
Google Services Framework->clear data-> Force stop.
Bringing up Market now should give you an error.
Reboot
Wait a few minutes before bringing up Market after reboot.
Sometimes you need an extra reboot at this point.
This made Yahoo Fantasy Football show up in Market (the new Market) for me. Also some more apps show up as requiring update which did not before.
I am running TNT Lite 4.4

I had enough with market!

If google wants to be a serious mobile company,they should at least do the basics.
Every now and then their horrible market has problems. We are used to them,with some cleaning (cache,dalvik etc) but this time,with the newest market the situation is unbearable.
In every 2-3 downloads i get the -101 message and the download never starts...
I have tried everything ,first i thought it was an ice cream issue,i went back to 2.3.6,the same.
Later i found out is a market problem and i have to remove my account,reboot and log in again with gmail.
I did it but now in every 3-4 downloads i have to remove account and log in again...after reboot.
Seriously???
I am a loyal costumer,almost a fan boy,but the last events with the market,with ics fragmentation etc...i dont know...

Little more specifics would be good. ROM, Version, Kernel etc.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
any rom,stock,custom simplicity,ics source,any kernel,semaphore,stock,midnight etc as long as it is the new market. 3.4.4 i think.
even if i do the uninstall updates the problem is still there after a while.
i guess the market since i dont freeze it,updates itselfs.
the problem is all over the net with various users having the same problem.
it is just ridiculous. after spending a small fortune to apps to support the community,i feel that google treats me like a neanderthal.

I agree. They are few issues with the Market always. Maybe because Google doesn't release the source code for Market and other properitary Google Apps.

Remove market update!
