Hey everyone!
Been running Skrillax's latest Jellybean 4.1 Rom and very impressed at how smooth it runs, along with the fact that it runs at all! So kudos to all the devs here whove made my device run for so long!
I've been trying to install some non google market apps but, cant for the life of me find it in settings! When clicking the prompt to enable it in settings, I get a 'settings force close' error.
Anyone know any alternative ways of turning thos on?

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.

I know many have been eagerly awaiting the 10.2 flash release. when i searched market on my gtab i could not find it today like i could on my captivate which conviently updated to 2.2 today (joy!!). Long over due ATT...
anyways since the stars lined up just right i thought i would leave the .apk up here for all. i have run this and it is flawless on cnn....no more hiccups or freezing like previous versions!
Thank you so much for this. I couldn't find it either running calkulins rom
try going to market.android.com. I found it there and tagged for download to my "G" ( running Vegan 5.1 ) loaded and runs fine.
Thanks for the apk. I used to be able to see flash in the market, in fact that is where I installed 10.1 from. I'm on the new vegan and I could see the xoom games as well but I couldn't see some other stuff I wanted like evernote and dolphin. Online market just blocks me with compatibility errors. After doing some messing I got it so I can see those things but no longer can I see flash or the xoom/tiaga games. I can't even upgrade flash through market even though I installed it from there. Google's dictatorship over the market is in its own way is as messed up as Apple's market censorship and it is downright frustrating and disappointing. So again, thanks. I've tried to get my market back to displaying what it originally displayed but not luck. Either way I'm still only able to enjoy half the android experience.

Thanks OP.
Yes, I agree with you. Market originally let me dl Cordy, but now since it has been updated for more gameplay its not in native market, and its not compatable with online market.
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

Hey everyone
Here is the problem: Recently I decided to update google maps to the newest version 6.0.0. This update made it simply useless for me. GPS locking is good, however scrolling around and zooming in and out is just plain terrible. Anyone know why this is? I tried to uninstall updates but it reverts back to 5.8.0 which is equally as bad. Is there anyway to improve Google Maps? I know that it has a lot of features however the usability is completely gone now for me it is very slow and laggy every time I start it.
Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you !
I do not know ..
I also have a similar issue though I don't have a Galaxy S - I have a Galaxy Ace running BehradGH's Cyanogen mod RC2.2.
I often got very laggy maps (totally unusable) and also many "this application has become unresponsive" messages and the options to force close or wait.
I have had to roll back to 5.11 which I had a titanium backup of - this works fine/normally.
I really don't know what causes the issue, I just hope its fixed in the next incremental update.
Hey every been a while since i posted. Recently my play store auto updated itself. I had thought i properly blocked this but I must have inadvertently changed a setting while switching accounts. I had a modded apk but cant find it. Im back to stock but rooted kitkat. The thing is I started noticing im getting these annoying messages about wannam being a harmfull ap. I am suspecting I updated google services? No clue
Please I am not looking for a "cracked" playstore apk, ive got a dozen or so paid for apps I want to keep just want to go back to my old play store version and not have ps auto update. Ive already done the obvious: unistall, go back to factory, block updater via Tb, etc etc. Any one have a modded apk they could share? Please no cracked free app mods. I am 100% against this kind of stuff, its actually stealing. Any help would be great. Thx! Tmo Galaxy n4 rooted and running on att android 4.3.
Figured it out. So far so good. What ever happened to google being the "dev friendly" "open source" system? Android is turning more and more into ios. Damn play store app updated itself like 3 times. Sad. I wonder where my d2 is prob still runnind rooted ics. I get the feeling that google is trying very hard to eliminate the ability to root all together. Hope im wrong. /rant
