[Q] XDA Premium on Bionic uninstalls randomly?

Has anyone else been using XDA Premium and go to fire it up with the shortcut and saying application doesn't exist?
This has randomly uninstalled two times on me while the phone was just idle. Then I have to go re-download it from the market. Any hints to what could be causing it?
I'm rooted and debloated via TBH Bionic Toolbox.

I had some weirdness with the xda app as well - the icon from one ofnmy home screens was a generic icon, while the one in my app drawer was the correct xda icon. After I rebooted while I was installing the extended battery it came back. No clue why
The app itself was fine, just the icon was missing.

Same happened to me. Shortcut stayed on the home screen but app wasn't installed anymore.

Right on, thanks!

It's not just XDA. Other apps also randomly disappear.

Randomly deleted apps

My d3 is randomly deleting app on its own. First it deleted xda and androirc, then the market update(lost new market, went back to old that shipped with phone) was deleted, third was droid forums app. Happened before and after rooting. 3 separate occasions. Any ideas?

As crazy as it seems I've had my XDA premium app disappear on me 3 times already as well.

Just now it deleted my google account. Went to call someone and none of my contacts are there.

Try moving all of your apps from Media Area to Phone in Manage Apps. The Droid 3 seems to not like apps being stored on the internal sd card.

I actually haven't moved any to the sd card. Good suggestion though. I didn't think of that. I welcome any more ideas.

I was just about to say that lol. My friend had the same problem yesterday but on a different phone. The leaked GoogleMusic app is build around processes for ICS and won't work right on GB/HC.

Ics camera concept for Droid ?

I found this over in the Droid 3 forums. I was wondering if this would help with fixing the camera on the ics roms for the bionic.

I can confirm this is working on the Droid bionic. Not the front camera but the back with flash & video

How you get it to work on the bionic?
Did you just flash the file?
Which ics rom will it work with?
Sorry for all the questions

Running this rom. Flashed rom the gapps after that flash camera fix works great is flashlight finally work

If it works on one, I'd assume it works on all of them since they all have very similar issues with what's working and not working. There's only one way to find out for sure though. Have fun.

I had problems with getting 4g to stick when I tried it, and it didn't seem as smooth to me. I do like the options of aosp roms though.

Axiom has ran the smoothest for me. I can't wait until Motorola releases an official version so I can have my Motorola email app and eat my ice cream too. (Motorola email app is a necessity for me. There isn't any as good that can do what it can do, least for the one feature I need it for. Copying email addresses out of the middle of a message by hard pressing on it)

I'll have to try those out. The Motorola email and all in one messaging app are the only things holding me to blur. Most mail apps I've found will allow you to send an email to the email address found in the middle of a message but won't let me copy and paste the email address from within the message.

Here's something else for the Droid 3 that we may want to keep our eyes on.

Brighter days are ahead for the people who stuck with the bionic. Personally, once we get more roms, I like the bionic more than the nexus. Just don't like the 3 button setup on the nexus.

Properly working screenshot app...

I have tried many screenshot apps but I have not found one which works properly. 90% of apps I've tried produce completely distorted screenshots with heavy shear effects. The app I am using now is one that at least produces a screenshot but with a big black band on the right of the actual screenshot.
I am running a rooted .232 leak...
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Have you tried the built-in screenshot by pressing power+volume down?

The timing for Pwr+VolDown is very tricky. It must be done in order (Power, then VolumeDown) with a very tiny delay between the two button presses. Basically less than 1/10 of a second. If that window is missed then you just get the power menu or volume options.

Definitely works!
