Anyone know what happened to weatherbug? I was re-installing some apps and cannot find Weatherbug. It was an app that I actually made use of on a day to day basis.
Sometimes apps leave the market for various reasons, either the author no longer wished to distribute the app [in that manner], or it in some way violated or was perceived to violate the google TOS. Because of this, if you are planning to wipe your phone, it is a good idea to make a backup of all apps you don't want to lose.

Found it odd that it would be removed after having an update just last month. I had done a backup using nandbackup as well as using the one that is built into Astro. I'm at work and the backups are at home, moved them off the SD to my computer. Was hoping to get it installed after updating to the newest JF build.
Maybe they're just prepping a new version compatible with the 1.5 release?
Their site doesn't seem to indicate that they've taken it offline:
http://weather.weatherbug.com/mobile/android.html
I didn't realize there was a recent update - I would've grabbed it. I'm on 1.0.498.

hopefully thats the reason why its gone from the market.
I love weatherbug, but its still a bit buggy especially in terms of the temperature in the notification bar.

I would think they would keep the original version for those that have not upgraded and release a 1.5 update separate. I did not have a problem running it on the Haykuro 1.5 version I installed prior to updating to the JF/LucidREM update.
ok..ok..I am not crazy then
I tried to look for it yesterday and I guess it was all in vain. I do hope if comes back. It worked ok for me on the 1.5 versions.
It worked for me on Haykuro's 1.5HR3 as well, but remember - these guys are doing testing against the official releases, and they're probably testing in a lot more depth than we are. Could be they found something, and decided to push out one app that's compatible with both 1.1 and 1.5.
Just a hunch. I'm thinking if they willingly removed Weatherbug from the market they'd have removed that page from their website as well.
They released weatherbug elite on the iphone so maybe they're getting ready for this on android. the elite is 99 cents tho
ok
I want
Weather bug....the loon misses ya!
I will pay.
I ran Weatherbug earlier today (I use it almost everyday) and the ad banner at the top was about Weatherbug Elite. I'm guessing they pulled the free app, which is beta (I believe), so that we can all pay for the Elite version. Yay!... not.
Well, I hope that means they will take off the ad banner. It was a little annoying.
Can someone post the .apk for those who don't have (and want) Weatherbug (beta)?
yes i really want this please!
It's back! I just downloaded it!

It worked for me too, but as soon as I would power on the phone I would get a force close from WeatherBug (without opening the app). After that, everything runs smoothly.
So, not like it's a huge inconvenience, but maybe that will be addressed.
Weatherbug was in BETA release. I looked on the market and the BETA has been removed but there is a free version there which works just fine on JFv1.5
Hell yeah.
Works nicely on jf 1.5
Never knew how much I would miss those #'s in th top left
"Sigh"
I'm good...I'm good!
I just want to spank them and tell them to never leave me again
I don't see anything that would indicate a paid-for version - just looks like regular ole' WB to me.
Is it 1.0.774 that you guys got as well?

Uninstall market access, and any changes it made should be undone as well. You can also try restore the default back to the AT&T carrier string, but I don't recall the code. If you backed up your settings before you applied the changes, they should be stored for you.
I think the market might be down right now, as many people are reporting problems, including myself....
http://www.neowin.net/news/android-market-down-for-the-count
its down
Whew ok, I was playing with my build.prop file playing with the DPI tweak and Market wasn't working so I was playing with it's file properties thinking I messed something up rofl. Makes me feel better.
while were in the app subject.. how come there's no dedicated website for the market? Or am I just a blind man
Well, there are sites like AppBrain and AndroidZoom, though not sure if that's exactly what you are thinking of...

anyone else experience this
Noticed that as well, do you have the widgets installed. Going to try and take them off and see if that helps.

My phone is rooted, lag fix, sideloadable.
Using launcherpro. Only have beautiful widget and a twitter widget. Nothing that should create this lag. Will contact google soon.
Thanks people. Good to know I'm not the only one.
Sideload google voice
What is the point of sideloading GV? It is free already...
its the problem with google voice new version. i reverted to the older version using titanium backup, and i got it back to it speed. the newer version is causing the lag!
this is the version i had backed up and restored to: 0.4.0.12 (this is the version prior to the current one)
I updated mine as well a few days ago and I also notice the lag. Its pretty bad as far as I can tell. When I start typing, the cursor just sits there and a few seconds later the words appear. The app launch is pretty slow as well compared to the last version.
Does anyone have the old version .apk file they can send me?
I have the old .apk, would you like me to email it to you? Don't know how to post it...

Hmmm, well if I am gonna have to wipe for this I may as well SBF back and get the official OTA.
Seems pretty decent so far. My linpak and quadrant scores are even with what I was getting with the OTA after getting rid of some bloat. Calendar fix hasn't fixed my sync issue yet. Any idea why when I post my scores to linpak my notes show build 2.2.20? I'm not familiar with that particular version. Phone info shows 2.3.15 as it should but this is obviously not built off the official 2.2 as I've notice certain things change back to leak versions.
I'll give this rom a few days but I'm probably heading back to the OTA.
Can someone share the stock backup assistant apk with me? I'm lazy enough that I was just using that instead of a3rd party app so now I'm missing a HUGE chunk of my contacts. If it can't be used on this rom I'm doingan sbf right away when I get home.

Why would you want the OTA? There is nothing magical about it, except Moto decided to lock the system down some more with new Bootloader keys.
Check out the threads around the forums, everyone is enjoying RubiX.

There is in fact a difference. Newer Baseband and New Kernel which results in better performance. These two objects were left out of the leak for fear of it leading back to the leaker.

Flashed it. It's pretty damn fast. Perhaps this is Jake's reconciliation.
Fast is true and easy to install when following directions. The one thing that is strange and wondering if anyone else is experiencing.
I keep getting FC when trying to access my calendar. Yes I am trying to access my google calendars with default calendar program and even Jorte.
Anyone else?
Perhaps ideas for me?

Happened to me...flash the rom zip following the instructions. Reboot the phone. Then bootstrap and reboot back into recovery and flash the calendarfix zip from page 7 of this thread: http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-roms/8428-rom-rubix-focused-0-3-a-7.html
I had this instaled but could'nt get google maps to work so I went back to flyx rom. The market is stuck downloading google maps I hit cancel and it has force closed
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I also had some FC problems. It FC's everytime you try to stop a download in the market. It FC's every time you click on the battery manager to see what's sucking juice and it FC'd when messing around with the Calendar.
Because of those reasons, plus not being any faster than I had gotten my OTA after bloatware removal and some build.prop tweaks, not being able to use Backup Assistant (losing 80% of my contacts) and the fact that I actually like the native 2.2 txt app led me back to my OTA 2.2 through the nandroid backup I made before installing rubiX.
This is one I will definitely keep an eye on and will be testing in further revisions, but it's not where I want a rom to be right now.
I appreciate all the hard work that went into it but it's just not for me right now.

It's hosted there, as well as alldroid, and androiddoes.net.

Hello,
First off let me say I'm not great at rooting my phone. When I had a Samsung Infuse I did it on accident pretty much and now that I have an Atrix, I'm no good at all. I'd like to be able to remove my internet browsers, the default one and Chrome, and I'd like to remove the Google Play store too. Basically, I just want my phone to have my email, 2 or 3 other apps I use, and that's it. Last time I removed my browser on the Samsung Infuse, I lost my data connection. Does any one know an easy, safe way to remove both browsers and Google Play? I'd almost be willing to pay for this if it's possible.
Thanks!

Kind of a personal thing, with the main thing being I love the phone, but don't like wasting time with the internet. And if I have access to the internet, I'd be stuck on it all day. Thus, I'd like to remove the play store to block access to doing that. Just using the apps I normally already use and keep those and remove the rest.
I've tried rooting Super One click but that doesn't seem to work. What is the best/easiest/fastest way to root my phone?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976956
Basically what you need to do is flash the stock ICS image (4.0.4), root it, then install an app called "Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper" (on Play as "OTA RootKeeper" by Supercurio). Then you "temp unroot" via Voodoo and apply the 4.1.1 update. After you install the update you install Voodoo OTA Rooteeper again, and voila, you can restore your rooted phone.
There are posts in the thread I linked where people ask "can you flash 4.0.4 over 4.1.1" and have been answered "yes," but I didn't have to do it personally.
One of the steps is to update superuser and then update the superuser binary. There are 2 ways to do this, one through the app store & with the superuser program, and the other to "replace the apk in /system/app with the one in /data/app." I struggled with this step. I could update Superuser via the app store, Superuser would detect that its binary was out of date and then try to download the new version, but the installation would always fail. I ended up copying Superuser.apk and "su" from the Superuser website and copying them to the phone using ADB. Since you've said you suck at rooting, this might be too much for you. I don't now how necessary it is, maybe others can comment.
Good luck! Although I'm somewhat in agreement with other sentiments regarding your post ... a dumb phone & a dumb iPod would solve your Internet-distraction problems for a lot less hassle... plus put a decent wad of cash back in your pocket.

Well, I've thought about that, but I really like several apps that I don't want to lose, such as Google Maps/Navigation, Google Music, Sermon Audio, Google Drive, and Bank of America among the main ones.

Alright, this thing is ticking me off a little. I think something went wrong around restarting samba servers: restart: unknown job: smbd
Also, my phone won't recognize the remote storage. IP address is either 192.168.0.8, or 192.168.0.255, and I've tried both.
Any ideas?
Ok, here's another question:
If I buy a Nexus 4, which comes unlocked, from Google, should I be able to just install Titanium Backup and remove what I want?
Anybody know??
I would assume you'd have to root it first but maybe not.
