What ROM are you using? If its not stock, did you try fix permissions? Reinstalling app? Wipe data for the XDA app
I'm using tapatalk (which is XDA app.. but it is not just limited to the XDA forum) and its working fine.

Just downloaded the XDA app and have no problems here.

I cleared the cache and deleted data but crash on search still happens
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Its weird, if I go from top menu,more, search it seems to work but if I search using the search button immediately after app launch, it crashes. Sometimes after searching via app menu, the search key seems to start working properly
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

i get the crash from this exact sequence: load up an individual thread, leave the app for a bit, or pull down the status bar to do some other task, when you return, then press back, force close. its done this for a few months now, always.
other than that itst great and no issues.
also everyone remember to use the black theme! enormous battery saver, i LOVE forum browsing with the app cause it uses like only 110mA power draw. try the browser, its like 550mA.

Didn't realize there was a black theme, awesome ..
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Yeah, black theme works and looks great on the Nexus S.
Also, make sure you install from the market not titanium back up. Titanium is a GREAT app but after too many reinstalls of any app, the apps tends to bug out.

How do I get the black theme on the XDA app? Also, does anyone know the link to the black Google page? I had it on my Epic last year, but I don't recall what the direct link was. Thx!

It's in the app settings.
I forget the link to the black Google page. But cyanogen browser has an invert colors option so all white becomes black. A must have.

Thank you! Found the app settings, and changed it. And found the Google black, it's bgoog.com. There are a couple of others that offer a Google black search page, but this is the one I was looking for.
Wasn't able to find the Cyanogen browser, I am guessing this is a rooted feature? I am not rooted, and I am still learning about all this. Anyway, thx again!

Well I altered the battery driver for instant readings over the sense resistor, and wrote an app with graphing at 2 second sample rate.
Your best bet would be to use the current widget, but you will only get 1 minute intervals. You'd have to edit driver and compile your own kernel.
I've started looking at the nexus s driver, maybe we can get the same thing going and update the app to support it. Depends if its really worth it for people I guess.
Edit: duh I forgot to say your options stock is just use OS monitor and view the dmesg log, filter for "batt", and you'll at least get rough readings.

using the hardware search button to search forum FC, re-install doesn't solve the issue... any idea? i'm using CM7 RC1

Search (via hard-button) is 100% crash for me.

[MOD]Dedicated camera button

So I never use my Search button, but I always use my camera.
I decided to give a quick guide to remapping a soft touch button to launch the camera, and setting the power button to act as a shutter button.
NANDROID BEFORE IMPLEMENTING!
1) Go to the market and search for "button remapper". It will return multiple apps, you are looking for the one with a green icon that costs $1.00

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) Get the latest SGS-Tools from http://www.mediafire.com/?xtw16417su40j7b
3) Open SGS-Tools and select "upgrade stock apps" then "hacked camera apk" (this is the i9000 camera.apk hacked to use the power button as a shutter)
4) Open Button Remapper and click "search button" you'll see a menu. Change the app to Camera and click ok. (leave the other option alone)
5) Your phone will automatically reboot, wait for the media scanner to finish and then push the search button. Your camera app will launch hella fast and just tap the power button to take a quick pic!
ENJOY!
NOTE: most apps that appear to require a search button have the search option in their menu.

Fantastic man thanks! I have been wanting to dump twiz but liked having the camera attached in the bottom row of apps since it is always there even on diff pages. This fix is great!

if i flash another rom, this WILL go away right?

What font are you using there, out of curiosity?
Its Auxura's font from Master's ROM.

Sorry!
correct section, now!
Great workaround. I use my search button often, so I use something a little different.
I use SwipePad in the market. Its a pretty responsive app which let's you swipe from a zone on the screen (in any app) to bring up a grid of designated apps. I set one to the camera so I have quick access to it anywhere.
You're solution is definitely best at achieving a camera button, but for those that use their search button, often, I thought Id bring this app to peoples attention. The dev is very nice also, and has quickly fixed issues I've reported.
For those emailing.about a search button, holding down the menu key will bring up search.

does it still break 720p?
Great tutorial! This makes taking pictures so convenient. Thanks.
ETA: I don't know if this is normal but my Camera app disappeared out of my app drawer. The search button link me to Vignette app. I was able to fix it by extracting the Camera app from the Bionix-v ROM and adding it to my system/app. It works now and I'm able to select the Camera app instead of Vignette.

Some of the settings in Preferences don't work. :Z
I tried setting 5 homescreens and putting 3 as default but it doesn't register it. Tried restarting it, no dice. Continuously kept going back to screen 4.
Other than that, works perfect!

That's a known issue with that particular setting, it actually sets it one screen ahead. So if you want 3 as default set it as 2. Its getting worked out soon.

Anyone having problems coming out of landscape mode? I was using PicSay Pro in landscape mode, hit the home button and it only showed the icons in the app dock but nothing on the home screen. When I flipped to portrait mode the screen went black only the showing info on the top of the screen (battery, time, signal, etc). I tried holding the power button and selecting 'Shut off' but it froze up. Had to pull the battery.

Thanks. I bought "Screenshot It" because the trial app worked great. Unfortunately, the paid app doesn't work... all the screenshots come out with a red tint. "Screenshot" works, but won't save my settings. No big deal. I'm just glad that it works.
Triskite, have you tried Quicksettings? It's free in the Market. Quicksettings is very handy and has a button to turn mobile data on and off. I know you asked for a widget, but Quicksettings is so useful, I tought I'd mention it.
To switch 4G on and off I use LTE Switch by Geoffrey Buttercrumbs. It's not a widget, but works like one. All it does is open the built in Mobile network settings screen where you would normally switch LTE off. Just saves a few clicks, but it is handy.

This is my latest creation. The idea is accessing as many tools in an organized fashion as simply and quickly as possible (minimalist):
The only thing I have not included here is the other page (I use a 2 page model). The purpose for not showing that page is it has my minimal IM client and minimal Facebook. I achieved maximization of information in a small space by resizing the two clients. And yes, that's an LWP in the background.
The reason you see all those screen indicators on the top is because I was showing my dad how to add screens on my Android....lol

Chrome, chrome, chrome.....

Ordered my nexus 7 (x2) as soon as there was a button on the UK website. Now I know chrome is the default browser, so I thought sweet, I'll install it on my a500 so I can get used to it before the tab arrive's.
Omg, what a piece of rubbish, every time I change tabs from XDA to another site the page is just plain white, then back to XDA since it was already tabbed and loaded you'd assume it would still be, but no. Its plain white. Then to piss me off even more halve way though writing this post it crashed lol! What kind of a browser crashes inputting text lol. I wanted to like it, in fact I do like the interface but the bugs are just not fun!

I don't know about A500 roms but to me it sounds like a memory issue or something, its sort of "killing" tabs to save memory and then reloading them once you need them again. Maybe some background processes eating memory?

It does crash occasionly if you keep getting a white page it can clear by going back a page then trying again if not close it then task kill it after that it will be fine.
Overall I find it to be far better than std browser.
I'm a very "clean user" I have fb opera order and chaos, that's it. thinking though maybe one of the processes I have disabled, chrome uses, I disable everything I don't use, camera Calender live wp themes etc, maybe that's the issue?
It don't crash for me at all...works fine and it doesn't look bad enough to use something else

Chameleon Launcher

Hey guys,
Some of us backed up/pre-ordered this app/launcher from Teknision. Compared to the touchwiz UI, it seems better but it's so limited.
Any feedbacks?
Sent from my GT-P6800 using XDA Premium HD app
I gave it a go. The real value seems to be their widgets of which there are only a precious few. With some trivial exceptions, the basic blank Chameleon screen looks and acts like every other blank launcher. The ides they promote of a "Morning", "Work" and "Evening" home screen can be accomplished whit any launcher that allows for multiple home screens, which should include everything ever produced since the second Regan term.
I do have to say that the Gmail widget looks great. I would prefer to just have them make that and their other widgets available in the market for a price.
However, the most glaring flaw I saw was that their launcher seems to only work with their own widgets. So the 4 zillion widgets already available in the Play Store do not work with Chameleon. I may be wrong about this due to the next paragraph as my testing/fiddling was forcibly truncated, but I don't think so.
I tried Chameleon for about 45 minutes. After I installed and played with it for a bit, my Tab 7.7 locked up. I got stuck in a boot loop with the Tab 7.7 splash screen; it never even made it to the Verizon 4G splash screen. The only way I could get out was to do a bit of gymnastics with the power and volume buttons between loop sequences and do a complete factory wipe through recovery. I have yet to find a widget that makes a factory wipe seem worthwhile and this was no exception.
So I am done with Chameleon Launcher. Based on what I saw in my 45 minutes, even if the bugs were worked out, I would stick with my current set-up. As always, your mileage may vary.
Doug M.
I agree. Also I noticed that the memory consumption was too big. I hope there would be changes on its way. I expected too much on this and it doesn't beat my stock ui. It always needs Internet connection making it annoying.
Not using it as of now, but still waiting for better offers upon updates.

It is hardly a beta version at the moment. I doubt their concept of html5 widgets will achieve broad acceptance.
Tried to apply for membership on their Site hoping to share my opinions but seems hard to get it.

I had mine installed before I decided to pre order so I just activated my account. You might try opening the beta launcher in Google play, click uninstall, reboot then go back to play store and install the launcher again.

How about un installing it inside the settings>applications>downloaded menu? I since its installed, it might be there. Honestly, I haven't encountered any issue as you did. Just thinking of other options that might be possible. Otherwise, it might be another bug on Teknision's part.
Nope it does not show up, might have to send them an email
Edit: I can now download it

Another option chameleon added is the ability to customize wallpapers. No widgets added so I won't be using it till some improvements are added

Chameleon launcher update goes 0.9.8 lesser memory Consumption, faster processing and new widget (API). You can now make your own widget using this.

Chameleon has been released already in Google play. Is there any difference between the beta version and the tablet version?

I think only some bugs may been worked out but still pretty much the same IMHO

i have been using it since it went 1.0 but it i cannot find any difference between it and the beta before it... it is very buggy... and a constant internet connection requirement is something i do not like as i only use wifi... you cannot install your own widgets, which is a negative thing too... and they have such a small number of widgets right now that it is hardly worth your while... but i like the look and it is exactly how i always wanted it... the only thing i care about is that they stop the constant need for widgets thingy, increase their number of their widgets or allow us to install other widgets....
