Beautiful Widgets

Anyone else having lots of force closes with this recently? Suspect it's the recent app revisions and not anything on the phone, but you never know.

I have had none until today..

I have been having problems for a few days now and have been wondering if there was something I did to cause this. Hopefully it gets adressed, may have to change widgets because of this.

Every day. It seems to be the only app that fcs on my phone

ditto for me as well.
had to uninstall it until i hear of an update that addresses the issue...
running stock kernel (did the same with birdman's test20, and JT's OC and stock clock voodoo kernel's as well.)
no task manager, and using the blue breeze clean rom

I've been having FC issues with Beautiful Widgets for a couple weeks now. I, too, uninstalled it and will go back and try it every time there is an update.
Kind of unfortunate, liked the weather.
Weather Channel and Weatherbug don't cut it, at all.

Dunno what changed but I haven't had another fc. Running birdmans kernel and bunny's magic rom

I have had the exact opposite experience with BW. With Voodoo and Birdman's kernel, BW would FC at least 3 times a day. It would also play havoc with noLED when a notification would come to the phone. BW would FC and i couldn't get to the notification for about 30 seconds. While in my car dock it would do it 5 or more times during a 5-6 hour road trip. I will caveat that by saying that along with BW, several other apps would FC when using my car dock and having the Voodoo and/or Birdman's kernel installed.
I went back to the stock kernel and all seems well for the past 3 days.

I've had FC issues for a couple weeks with BW. Thought about uninstalling it several times but really love having it on my home screen. I'm presently running Dirk's LV 1000 Vodoo kernel and have only had a couple FCs over the last few days.

I have FC notifications at least once or twice a day, but i hit the force close button and it doesn't actually stop the widget or anything, I just continue on with my day.

I have not had any problems. I occasionally get a FC here or there. but it is not a common occurrence.

i ended up switching to weather & toggle widget. no where as good as beautiful widgets but it has an awesome htc skin, h7c

Are you guys running adw? Mine was doing the same switched to Zeam problems went away.

I also just recently ran the Fix Permissions Utility in ROM Manager and that seemed to have fixed a lot.

No force closes ever here. Launcherpro plus via JP6.

[Q] Anyone rooted users having problems with google maps update??

When i navigate it finds the gps great but it says "getting driving directions" and wont go past this, im running dj05 and 1212 test kernel from jt.

This should probably go in general.

sounds like it's trying to access the internet and can't.

Works fine for me.

Turn off your Wifi if it's on, make sure it launches a data connection. make sure it sees your position with less than 100 meter accuracy in maps before getting directions. If it doesn't, GPS isn't really working and it's going off cellular position etc.

I posted about this in general and didn't get anywhere. I have the exact same problem.
I tried reinstalling, changing kernels, changing dns, even uninstalling then loading a new rom, kernel, dns, and then installing. All with no luck.
It appears to not be able to use the data connection. I say this because just using maps i get up and down arrows on 3g but while "getting directions" neither arrow lights up.
Would love a solution as i love my navigation.
Sent from my stupidfast fascinate through xda app.

I had this same issue. Maps would work fine and I could get written driving directions but the navigate function would freeze at downloading directions. I wiped my system, installed a different rom, and it works fine now.
Edit: I did not restore maps with titanium, I downloaded it from the market after reinstall.

[APP] Genius Button for CM7

For those people that enjoy the use of the Genius button and Dragon Dictation.
This is the Genius button app that came stock with Espresso Froyo put into a flashable zip. It was taken from the Espresso Sense Rom and has been confirmed working on CM7. I have also included the app called Button Shortcut (free on market) in the zip to make things easier. It can be used to open any app using the Genius Button / longpress search button. The Genius app should also work on HTC Froyo Roms too. Much thanks to the CM team for making CM7 compatable with these apps.
This needs to be flashed/installed from ClockworkMod Recovery. Install it just
like you would flash a rom. You should not need to wipe anything first.
Please hit the "Thanks" button if you like this.

Yes it actually works very well. There is a setting so it doesn't have to verify your contacts now. You can get to it by pressing the button and when it asks you to speak you can hit the menu button.

I'll give it a whirl since vlingo hasnt been working for me on cm7

Works like a charm.
EDIT: LOVING being able to put the genius app on the genius button again. Stuck Navigation onto my camera longpress . MANY thanks for this!

not nearly as fast as vlingo, but has gotten way faster from the 2.1 version. thx bud

A couple of hours after flashing this I begin to have problems with my market and maps. I restored my backup and it works fine. I have tried this on several builds and have the same problem. I use the same builds without it and everything works great. Anyone else having a problem with it? Hope I can get it to work. I want the genius button back. Thanks for posting this.

What kind of problems are you having? I haven't had any issues at all. This should have absolutely no effect on your market. What type of wipe have you done? The slide isn't my primary but I going to sim it up and run it for a bit see if I can help.

I wouldn't think it would cause a problem either. It's the only change I made though. I do a full wipe between each build I try. I have tried on build 19, 21, 23, all with full wipe. On build 19 my market wouldn't download anything. My maps also started force closing. I cleared data and flashed gapps again. Still didn't work. I restored backup and it was fine. On build 21 and 23 my maps worked but my market would not open. It would start to open but close itself again. It doesn't happen right away. It starts several hours later. I have tried each build without and no problems. I do appreciate you posting this though cause at least I can try to get it working. Thanks for trying to figure it out.

whats the difference between the genius button app and google voice search? i bought the slide, flashed Cyanogenmod the first day i got it, and never looked back.

Private message me. I have a few things for you to try.

This setup gives me absolutely no problems on my CM-6.1.1, Though there have been problems with the market on CM-7 builds 19 - 23 and I haven't tested this on CM7 due to the variation of people having infrequent problems lately.
One thing I have done though was removed the 'flashable' aspect of it and simply added it to the main ROM being sure to include the /lib folder as well. Works great!

Works on CM 6.1.1
Had to download button shortcut from market. But after I did that and configured it-all is well. And yes it's a bit faster than it was on stock 2.1.

It should have automatically installed it for you. Are you sure it didn't?

This is working great now! I really appreciate having my Genius Button back. Thanks go out to Drew for pointing me in the right direction. Thanks again bro!

Can you get the driving mode to work as on the stock ROM? I flashed it twice and ran fix permissions but when i say driving mode on it responds with hand free is on, but no icon on status bar and wont announce caller or announce theres a new text. Voice dialing, composing text and web search work though. I was just hoping for the driving mode to work.

This is awesome!
I got my search button and a working Genius Button at the same time on my favorite rom (3rdSense)....sweet!!!!

Unfortunately I have done it multiple times and continue to have the issue.

Read the reviews. Everyone said it sucks. Granted most of those people dont know how to operate a phone. I installed ran fine, just drained my battery in like 2 hours, with the status bar temp thing, so its gone now.

That's why I don't allow programs to run in the background and give me "updates". If I want to see the weather I'll pull up the program.

I pulled a noob and just created my own thread about the same problem... oops!
I've been having the same problem, it also happens with Shazaam. I have to delete and reinstall both every time I reboot the phone.

Talk about pulling a noob, I responded to your post not realizing you asked for it to be deleted! Here was my response to your post:
I also have this issue with both WeatherBug Elite and Shazam Encore. I actually uninstalled Shazam (at the time I noticed it) because I installed SoundHound Infinity.
However, I just manually rebooted my phone and, yes, my WeatherBug Elite came back with the error (after re-installing and setting it up).
I tested my other Amazon apps (Airport Mania: First Flight, Angry Birds Rio, Angry Birds Seasons, Diner Dash 2, Doodle Jump, Flight Control, Fruit Ninja, SoundHound Infinity, and Talking Tom Cat) and it's only the WeatherBug Elite and Shazam Encore.
Something is going on with the rebooting for just those two apps. I can't believe it's an Amazon specific thing.
I'm running a Droid X with Liberty 1.5 ROM.

Hmm rebooted and got the same issue... interesting. Ill try deleting app data and using TiBackup the next time after that.
In Amazon app store you can send issues to the developers.. i sent them this issue. Hopefully more users do the same and we get an update.

What was weird is that it alerted in the taskbar just fine.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App

Doing a little research with a few people here (with Droid X's) is that it only happens on my phone.
The difference between mine and the others is that I'm running a custom ROM (Liberty 1.5).
It works fine for my Droid X friends that 1) is stock and 2) rooted, but stock ROM.
So, for me, it looks like there is something with the app and the fact that I'm running a custom ROM.

I too experienced fc on weather bug and shazam on Phoenix Ultimate and current rom Unleashed. May be it's an issue with the app itself. Other than those 2 apps, all works without any issues.

I think it's an app problem... All my other free paid apps work fine.

I was having an issue where Weatherbug Elite would say I had to enable one of the location services (GPS or Network location) even though I leave network locating on. I tried clearing the app cache by going to menu>settings>applications>manage applications, hit the ALL tab at the top, go down to Weatherbug Elite and hit Clear Data. This cleared up my problem. Maybe it'll help yours.

I have the same problem. Everything else works fine but this thing is the Devil. I cannot get it to work on my EVO. I have tried everything. I mean everything and now I'm more confused then an Amish Electrician.

Nook Color with Cm7, Missing the status bar and buttons?

I've been looking around on the web for a solution. I had this problem when I flashed my nook color a month ago. The girlfriend's got hers now, and we are running into the problem of no status bar. No home or back buttons or anything. And the Market doesn't work... I remember I installed a different version of cm7 on mine, after I had this problem the first time. I found a page talking about it...now I cannot find that page. Mine says 7.1.0 encore and works, as does hers...but it doesn't work...So...Hm.
Pardon my noobergy...but... Could I get a hand here? haha.

There's an app on the market called Status Bar Restarter.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.khanning.statusbarrestarter&hl=en
Two comments say that it works with CM7.
For the market, try going to settings/manage apps/market and clearing the cache. You can also try uninstalling the market update and letting it update again. If all else fails, you could reflash CM7. (Or maybe just gapps - the market is in there.)

We cannot use the market mate :[ , both it and the status bar just instantly crash, or Force close I think it's called. I was told before to use a different version of 7.1.0 encore. But I cannot find that thread anymore.
Have you heard of this? Or am I talking nonsense haha

Hey there. you don't have to open the market to go to settings, click "manage apps," click "market" and clear the cache and maybe uninstall the update.
If you can't get to the settings, you can make a shortcut by long pressing on the launcher and selecting activities (I think) and choosing app drawer (If I remember correctly) and you get the icon with four squares in it.
The market link was for when you got the market working, obviously And you didn't say that the status bar was FCing, just that there was none. In that case, the app probably won't help, anyway.
Like I said before, last resort is to reflash. (Either full or gapps.) hth

Btw, you might try MiRaGe's build. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344873. The changelog mentions your statusbar problem as fixed. And I'm guessing that reflashing would fix the market problem, anyway...
There are a bunch of alternate builds you could try, too. I'm assuming you are using the official CM7 now, since you didn't say.
