Hey guys, am I crazy or do some apps not show up in the app drawer? Is this a problem with the specific ROM I'm on, or something else? New to Android.. only had my Nexus One since the end of May. For the record, I'm using Kang-o-Rama 0.9b2 (the FRF72 build).

I'm guessing you use either launcher pro or adw launcher and the apps not showing in the drawer are the apps stored on your memory card...
the problem lies in the order in which everything loads up on boot.
2 fixes for now-
1-install apps to phone memory
or 2-simply force stop launcher (after each reboot)

Using ADW, aye. But I haven't, as far as I know, installed any apps to my SD card.

for your current rom, yes. once the final release comes out I don't expect the problem. However, this is an adw problem and not froyo so maybe anders needs to make a change.
I deal with it because I like adw launcher, but hope it gets fixed.
i'm having a problem when upgrading to kang o rama 1.0 b1 CM6....whereby my ADW launcher keep on computing....so that i can't force stop it to bring back my installed apps...any ideas?
Thanks
Easy fix! Thanks!
Guys,
I have recently started to have an issue with pulling the Notification Bar down.
Occasionally (and for no apparent reason) when I attempt to pull down the window it opens just a fraction with only the bottom grey part of the window showing.
No matter what I do I can not get it to open fully. The only course of action is to reboot the phone which then clears the problem.
Any ideas what is going on here?
I have also noticed this behaviour and wondered about it

Hello,
I get that as well from time to time. Only way to display the bar is to go in the main screen, press the menu button and sellect 'Notifications'.
Hope it will be fixed soon as it is really anoying bug.

Thanks for the tip... Forgot all about the Menu/Notification. I'll try it the next time it happens.
I have the same problem. I cannot, or only partially, pull down the notification bar. Menu -> notifications still works. It started 2 dags ago after i used Samsung's own RAM manager to clear level1 and level2 memory. First time I ever used this feature, and will also be the last. A reboot does not solve my issues.
Is there a way to clear notification bar cache, or the notification bar settings? This information must be stored somewhere, similar to that of other apps?
/edit
Yes, I also use launcher Pro.
On another note, after removing the battery when the phone was still on (so no proper shutdown) the problem disappeared.
hi,
could it be you guys are using launcher or launcher pro? I had the very same behaviour and installed adw launcher, wanted to compare those two anyway ... since I had installed adw launcher and used it the problem vanished ... so I assume its a problem of launcher pro ...

Ohh, give it time... If the little blighter has already been seen to happen there's a fair chance it will pop back up again right bang when you don't expect it.
I went well over a week without it myself then all of a sudden up it popped.

You mean you had the phone connected to a charger, otherwise it would simply reboot.
Only got to experience this once after 2.2 update. No apparent in 2.1. Here are my other observations. It does not pull down on portrait, but does on landscape. I am also using Launcher Pro, not sure if same thing happens if I am on TwLauncher. I installed z4mod lag fix thinking this has something to do with Samsung's programming. Haven't encountered it since. I would die if I would. LOL.
I just noticed that even after the z4mod lag fix, my Galaxy S is still not top notch in snappiness--lags from time to time, but way worst before the lag fix, phone was bordering useless due to how many times it froze. Kinda of irritating seeing that my X10, a much cheaper and technologically lesser phone, does not have this problem. I hope Samsung gets their act together as this phone has so much potential.
I have the same issue but I am on stock froyo, no lag fix or root. looks like a bug

I had the same problem with my galaxy s untill i uninstalled the Juicedefender app. Now it works great with no problem whatsoever (i use laucher pro).
I encounter the same issue once in a while, on stock froyo official update. Using launcher pro and zeam. Read somewhere that some apps that appear on the notification bar may cause the issue, so I've uninstalled them. Mines sticks whether in portrait or landscape format, and I believe after a notification appears. Shutting off and turning on doesn't always help but the problem usually goes away after a few days.

Don't forget hitting Menu and selecting Notifications will bring the Notification window down.
Why does my launcher pro plus v0.8.3 often restarts after i done playing a game ???? It happened lately after i moved some apps into my sd card...it really annoys me when i want to change to another game, making me wait for the apps to load...and adding to the ignorance is the apps in the sd card will take about a minute or 2 to finish loading...Any ideas to how to solve this problem ??? Your help is highly appreciated !!!!
Model : Sgs I9000
Rom : Darky v9.5
Kernel : Speedmod k13d
It's not so much of a problem, as it is a feature, of Android itself. It's called Memory Management! And if your game is using a lot of RAM, it is bound to terminate some background applications, in this case, your third party launcher. It might help though, if your launcher app is NOT on sdcard. Also, ensure it is the primary launcher. Beyond that, we can't really mod our phone for more RAM But we can give CM7 a shot...

hmm....after hearing ur advice...i went n find some other launchers and i stumbled on to "Zeam" which i believe is a light-weight launcher...but the "problem" still remains the same...issit because i got too much apps installed???
On ADW launcher u have the ability to keep it running all the time. Just by turning on the option System Persistent under General Behavior-->System Settings that would avoid the launcher from closing
Try that one

It's not about how many apps you have installed. It's more about how many apps are actively running background services...

I am seeing google maps using a lot of battery with latitude and history turned off, independently of the rom, if after I reboot I open it, even if I force it stop. This doesn't happen if after a reboot I don't open it. Am I the only one?
I always use network location and I don't want to turn it off. Is there any trick?

Did not, but since if I don't open it after a reboot I don't see it, I can't see how this could help.
The battery life is great without open gmaps (near 70% after 10h with 3g all the time).

After 10 hrs screen off with minimal usage im at around 50% propably!
I'm sure I saw google maps get an update yesterday or today to address the battery consumption problem in Latitude and Places ?
yes but it didn't really fix the issue.noticed the same here, gmaps drains too much battery got some reason.

It's normal draining battery when you're using GPS. What I'm talking about is the draining with gmaps on background, not while using it.

Hi,
I tried chivato's ROM and he implemented google maps in data folder (not in system/apps) so google maps are not loadead/active on system startup. How to do that in rebuild v20q ROM? I don't want remove this app completely just not to be in running apps list?

Nfo somewhere; blatently spying...I did some monitoring and found maps is coming out of sleep to request location. I have to wonder why.
How do we freeze it because this is otherwise a useful app.
The next thing to do would be watching the traffic to see if it'sending that location
did u know if in cm7 for lg optimus 2x the xt9 for greek language is working ?
Gives anything better from the stock rom (if you note that the crup lg puted donest annoy me) ?

Is it easy to move my apps and data to the cm7 ?

I use CM72 and love it. It's so much better and stable. Kernel I use ETANA loc. It boosts CPU speed to merely 1.2GHz. Very stable and rock solid. No crashes so far. GPS locks in seconds. RIL 725 from v20d ASIAN version since I'm in Indonesia. It's been much better than other RIL so far.

1. Install a different Keyboard. I highly recommend SwiftKey but there are other great keyboards too. This shouldn't be an issue.
2. Did you install the gapps for CM7.2? This installs Google applications such as the Market, Gmail, Talk, etc.
3. Use a different application for that. I use GoBackup to backup that stuff. There are probably much better apps for that but as long as it works I can't complain.
4. You should relax a bit, you do sound a little bit angry.

GoBackup isn't better than Titanium backup but you can backup your contacts etc. on there. You just have to restore the backup once you flash cm7.2.
Why doesn't Google Play work? Either you installed the wrong gapps or you did something wrong while installing cm7. Try the following gapps; http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
You don't have any accounts? Then add a Google account. Once your phone boots after installing the gapps it should ask you to add a Google account. Just follow the steps. Once that's done start the Market once and close it. It'll take a few minutes eventually to update itself to the Play Store. Once the icon changes you're ready to use Google Play.
Cm7.2 IS gingerbread. It's based on GB 2.3.7.

did you follow the instructions to wipe all before flashing? u must flash gapps too. Keyboard, I'm using swype and swiftkey. Swiftkey has greek if I'm not wrong. Not sure about swype. Never liked the stock keyboard anyway.
My contacts work flawlessly and even sync with friendcaster's contacts. Titanium also works great. I keep changing back and forth between CM72 and Paranoid Android. But for everyday, I use CM72. If I want to try ICS custom rom, I use PA. I backup n restore nandroid regularly. As for the data and the apps, I use titanium to backup and then after flashing new rom, I restore back from titanium. Everything works great. Except that CM72 is not ICS. I luv ICS.

That's strange. Why do they crash? They're not supposed to crash at all. I think you did something wrong while installing your ROM or the Gapps. Have you tried fixing the permissions? You can do that in the ROM Manager app or in the recovery menu.

I use CM7.2 with the Etana stock kernel and love it.
I have one and only one gripe - When I press the power button after the phone is in idle, it takes 1-2 seconds before my lockscreen appears. This lag can be quite annoying but otherwise the phone performs great.
Does anyone else experience the delay when waking up the phone from idle?

No. I didn't experience that. But sometimes I need to clear the memory. I use ics theme from go launcher that has memory management. Can't remember the name. When the memory is dark red, I just press broom icon to clean up most memory. Then it works fast again.

You can set the maximum "screen off" CPU speed in apps such as PimpMyCPU and MyrtOTF. That'll most likely fix your problem. Setting it to 216MHz for example consumes less power but your screen needs a bit longer to turn on. Set it to a higher value and you'll be able to turn your screen on quickly. If that's not the case, check whether your RAM is sufficient or not. Use a task killer to clean up your RAM a bit.

Important note; do NOT restore the calendar app, etc. via TitaniumBackup! That causes massive crashes. I bet that's your issue.
No, SwiftKey isn't free but still the best keyboard imho. That was just a recommendation, you can get a different keyboard of course.
