[Q] Google Maps 7 graphical issues - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it just me, or does the new Google Maps experience some odd graphical glitches?
I'm running schizoid 10.1.

I feel ya, bro. Serious graphical glitches on my HTC vivid running Cyanogen Mod 10. The maps continuously skip and jitter, and any window overlaid over the map interface becomes transparent.

I really have no clue what the problem can be. I suppose the transparencies are causing some rendering issues. I hope Google fixes this soon!

Many people have reported this issue on different roms for the Desire HD. CodefireX, Jellytime and CM10.1 all suffer from it.
I hope Google fixes this soon cause Maps is unusable in its current state.

Happens on my HTC Evo 3D too. The glitches are more severe when the phone is in portrait mode.

If it is Maps 7, then I think its Googles issue and not any of the ROMS or devices we are using them on... As this happens on my phone too..

did you trying re-installing maps?

Is this issue mentioned anywhere else? I checked at http://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!categories/maps/mobile-android but didn't find anything.

I am having the same problem, 'rjand' on this forum suggested for me to downgrade Maps to a previous version (version 6.*). I have done this, but have yet to test if the problem persists.

Downgrade Maps
Old thread, but this may help @xmanfit0 , @lokster and others like me who found this thread by searching for "Google Maps cyanogenmod glitch".
I had this problem on my HTC Vivid with CM10, but after downgrading to Google Maps 6 it works nicely.
The APK can be found here:
Maps-6.apk
I found the APK from the bottom of the second post in this thread.

[ROM] Ruby 1.1.4 Reports

Similar to my thread based around CM 6.1 progress and reports on the latest nightlies, I present what should become a telling collection of anecdotal evidence.
Ruby 1.1.4 was released and many users are very satisfied with its performance. As 1.1.1 now appears old hat, and its original thread is waning and reads like War and Peace, please refer to this post for future observations. What I would like to see is:
1. Bugs encountered that are repeatable only after a full wipe
2. Glowing reviews and/or recommendations for bits some users are unfamiliar with
3. Odd errors that perhaps we can assist with (ie. known fix)
4. Chatter about the upcoming release of Ruby 1.2 for the Inc
I look forward to any and all suggestions, input, feedback, and all around camradery. Also, keep the flames to yourself

Well, thanks for the opportunity...
I have been using Ruby 1.1.4 as my daily driver for the past two weeks or so and find it to be perfect for my use. Although I have strayed to check out the latest and greatest, HD, Z, Feather, etc. I always come back to Ruby.
Everything works. I've added the popular mods, i.e. signal fix, etc., removed some apps that I don't like or use and I'm really happy with Ruby overall. Looking forward to 1.2.
Can't say the same for some of the vanilla apps like mail and gallery, but there are suitable replacements for those available via the market.
My thanks to the Ruby crew...

Is this a full build or just an update to 1.1.1?

Yea it's down, teamdouche doesn't have any gapps listed at the moment. A quick search I found a mirror but have not confirmed this is the same thing. Use if you like, otherwise wait for someone to provide a mirror.

Full build. Running stable so far, no noted issues.
I've been running 1.1.4 for a couple of days. I don't use Bluetooth very often, so I've only installed the RIL patch. Together with ADW Launcher I'm very happy with this ROM.
The only bug (or missing feature) I found is in regards to the Pattern lock. When I enable it, the unlock screen no longer shows up so I can't use the music controls. However, if I enable the PIN-base lock the unlock screen works just fine. In all Sense ROMs whenver I enable the Pattern lock the unlock (tabular) screen does not go away. I filed a bug at CC ROM's website. This seems like something trivial, so hopefully they'll get it in in the next release.
EDIT: You might want to add to the OP the url link for the RIL update, I've been using it and haven't experience any 3g issues.

As far as I know, it's less of a missing feature than a feature in itself. CM, ShadowROM, all the AOSPs I've tried have that "feature."
However, I too am annoyed by it xD But it seems intentional.
Where can I find the RIL patch?

Url is on my previous post...is the same for CM and Ruby. Has also been added to OP.
Nice to see my patch is still doing something for you guys. I wonder if they will ever release an official version again.
I almost feel like pulling down the code and compiling a version with the fixes in it...
Can we use the Gapps zip from 1. 1. 1....
How is GPS working in this version? I don't know if it was the RIL or 1.1.1 but I noticed that the cell triangulation (ie. the blue circle that pops up when you first open maps) broke somewhere along the way. Pinpointing GPS would work but it was very slow (takes at least a minute or more).
At first I didn't mind the wait but I realized it caused a lot of apps that require your location (Poynt, Where, etc.) to stop working.
Odd thing is on a clean install GPS pinpointing would always be almost instant but subsequent to that it would get slower and slower. Curious if anyone else is encountering the same.
I have three questions about 1.1.4:
Does EMMC work on Ruby? I mean like in gallery and music. Itt works on Cyanogen but now Shadowrom or inc does. Thats the biggest determining factor of my using Ruby.
is it possible to get the black vanilla messenger from Cyanogen?
Also, the black bar theme that Ruby has, gives you the HTC battery icon, however I prefer the vanilla android battery. Is it possible to make a theme from the changes I made in Cyanogen?
Also if you want EMMC to mount on windows, this fix was posted I dont know if it works on ruby, if you're brave you can give it a try:

Ok. So im a little confused on the bluetooth issue. Is there a link to the fix or no?

I would suggest using the one posted in the 1.1.4 download link. The op in that link also suggested to use only 1.1.4 themes...meaning that if the 1.1.1 you were using has not been ported over to 1.1.4 don't try to install it.

I've had the 1.1.4 (clean install) for 4-5 days, so hard to tell, but on Tuesday I used the GPS with Maps for about an hour and it worked great. I'll report in a few weeks if I ever use the GPS again.

EMMC works on Ruby. However, it seems that you can only mounted on a Mac, not on a PC. I connected the phone to my PC at work and it only recoginized the SD card. However, when I connected it to my Macbook it detected both EMMC and SD card.
By "black vanilla messager" you are referring to the Text Messaging app or the Google Talk? If you are talking about text messaging, there is a setting that allows you to change the background to black. In regards to the themes, I would suggest you stick with the themes made for 1.1.4 (as in the download link). If you want specific changes to the them the OP suggested contacting the created of the specif theme you are interested in.

If you go to the url link that has the "RIL update" in the first post it has a link to another thread where you can download the Bluetooth fix. It is called "BT" something.
Okay thank you, for the info. Is Ruby more stable then Cyanogens stable release?

[Q] IceColdSandwich reboots.. launcher related?

I've been using the cold sandwich since 5.xx and always used the trebuchet launcher.
Love it, but I get reboots in google maps all the time (read the latest posts in the dev thread, several people experiencing the same issue, while there are others who are baffled!)
I did something bold and switched to apex, and went wild on the gmaps, no reboots.
I might be way off... but could this issue which several users are experiencing in the dev thread be launcher related?
No I was using apex and version 7 kept freezing so you had to pull the battery

I haven't had to deal with any battery pullings so far with the rom in question, it's just reboots in my case.
Intriguing.
I only used the Trebuchet launcher and didn't have any reboot issues.

My GMaps crashes in ICS (6.2/7.0) too. Most of the time it just freezes the phone and I had to remove battery. Sometimes it reboot by itself. I have been using Apex all along so I guess it's not launcher related.

Do you use Google Maps often? I only have crashes when using Google Maps occasionally.
Maps (6.5.0) with opening GPS Wifi has no problem for me. Have you flashed the kernel that from the first post?
345-1190Mhz ondemand
Kernel: x-ICS-v3-VDD from the first post.

Yes, I'm also using this kernel in order to solve the YouTube issue. Again, in my case, the crash is intermittent but frequent enough to be annoying if you really need to use GMaps for navigation.
Yes, but only a few times to use.
I've modified the ROM. I edited the egl.cfg from "/system/lib/egl/" and delete "0 0 android". Maybe this can solved it.

I removed the line "0 0 android" last night and played around Google Maps for several hours and encountered no issue. But the phone rebooted after exiting Star Chart which is another graphics intensive app.
Then I flashed PlayGround ICS. So far I found no stability issue but I can feel the phone is a little bit less snappy than IceColdSandwich. Will keep on testing.

Yeah, I had already flashed the kernel from first post. Same problem.
But I have never changed anything in ROM Control/overclocking.
Is '345-1190Mhz ondemand' working best for you and others?
What's recommended in terms of performance/battery life?
Thanks
I've just switched from IceColdSandwich to PlayGround (7 beta) for 2 days now. I've encountered no stability issue with Google Maps or other apps so far. Even the previous issue that GPS will cease to work after using for a certain period of time is gone.
So it's highly recommended for those having stability/GPS issue with IceColdSandwich.

I've been running the playground since yesterday. I did get a reboot on Google maps when test trying it.
I'm not complaining, just curious to find out what's causing it

Finding reasons for reboots

Hi,
Im just curious how to track down the reason for reboots with stock ROM and stock kernel, not rooted. I had one random reboot yesterday (when watching trailers in the IMDB app) after almost a week I own N7. I know that one reboot in a week is nothing, but its my new toy and Id like to know how to track down the reason for that in case it happens again.
I found out some threads about this and generally it says I should use LogCat - but I dont know how to use it. So I please ask for help! For now, I started Stability Test (CPU+GPU) and wait ...
Happy New Year, Y'all !!!
EDIT: Ghardashyan a bit lower mentioned hes been having reboots when watching youtube videos. Anybody else having this kind of behavior? Also, I had my reboot when watching trailers in the IMDB app - its playing via youtube, right?
The ONLY reboot I have ever seen, is when the default lockscreen widget gets updated by the marketplace. It's guaranteed to reboot on 4.2. It does it every time on both my Nexus 4 and my Nexus 7.
You will only ever see it, if you remove the default android 4.2 lockscreen time widget and put something else there from the marketplace, and only when that widget gets a marketplace file update.
Perhaps you are seeing this? Do you have auto-update apps enabled???

I dont have auto-update enabled. I added another time/weather widget to the lockscreen but I dont think it got updated yesterday ... I will remove it and hope it wont reboot again. I sure think it was some app as the stability test goes for 2 hours without problem.

Its to do with location based services, HD Widgets is a major culprit and stated they were talking to Google to try and resolve the issue, it is also as stated before mainly because of the new lockscreen widgets, which HD Widgets also provide, so the stock widget could also cause the same issue?
Mine have pretty much stopped with the last update of HD Widgets, but it does still occur.

Since you're on stock rom and kernel, I think the best way would be to reset your device and keep track of what applications are installed, one at a time.
My guess is that one of the installed apps are causing it..

I know that, but as it was one reboot only in less than a week, it could take months to track the app down ... :laugh: Im about to restart the device myself and then use alogrec to continually record stuff.
EDIT: Alogrec is not recording a thing, so I rooted my phone. In case of restart, I believe it should be enough to save last_kmsg. Am I right?

Correlation does not equal causation and it seems some are eager to go barking up the wrong tree. As has been stated here, as well as confirmed by Google, it is a bug at the OS level. It has nothing to do, per say, with HD Widgets, YouTube, or any individual app. It affects all products running 4.2 and 4.2.1.
Until Google fixes the issue, there are only two guaranteed workarounds- disable location services or downgrade to 4.1.2.

Settings › Location. Bear in mind that the tradeoff is that, among other things, Google Now will no longer be functional.
For me, the reboots haven't been annoying enough to warrant disabling it on mine just yet.

Great, thanks. :good: I disabled that for now and will turn it on only when I need navigation. I dont use Google Now anyway.
BTW, when Google finds a solution for this, should I expect a full system upgrade?
Just experienced my first random reboot while streaming a flash video on Firefox Beta..
Random reboots are annoying me as well with my stock unrooted n7
Mostly though its during wifi/network activity not just in one app, have had reboots while in youtube, ebay, chrome etc. I have also seen it reboot while in standby
All started from 4.2
Would be interested to know if these reboots are reported back to google?

[Q] CyanogenMod DPI Issues

Hello, been reading the forums for a while, new to posting in it. That said, I'm not allowed to post in the CyanogenMod 10.1 thread because it's in development, and I need more than 10 posts to post in there.
I have an issues with the screen resolution on my HTC One. It's the same problem as in the post below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41803030&postcount=1120
The buttons and text for certain apps become extremely, extremely small, as if I'm using a tablet. I'm running the latest CM nightly, and so far I've noticed this bug in Google Currents, Minecraft PE, FPSE, Broken Sword, and Canabalt HD. Is there any solution or workaround to this?
I've already read through all 190 or so pages of the CM10.1 thread, and tried changing the LCD density in build.prop. All to no avail. Help please?
So... nothin? No one had this problem? Or no one has a solution?

I have this problem... (although on a Galaxy S2) I was using CM10.1 for a while, then recently tried a few other ROMs out and came back to a fresh clean install of CM10.1 latest release in the past few days and the fonts and the whole screen resolution is weird and fonts seem tiny, icons are smaller - it's just weird. I had flashed back to Samsung stock and that was bigger and more readable as I expected.... so what's changed I wonder?

Thanks friend i really apreciate this new
Don't install now. It is full of bugs for me.... (not a clean install, update from 10.1 nightly build).
Here is the bugs list I am having for now.
1, Play Store can't connect
2, Google Map won't able detect my position (GPS and wifi turn on already)
3, All my 3D games can't run at all (Turbo, Blitz Brigade)
4, Some of my downloaded apps disappear after updated including Goggle and Google+ etc.
5, Google Now's card disappear.. (maybe it is just I dunno where is it)
Goodies
1, surprise that MHL works on portrait (720P only and it still won't work on landscape mode)
2, newly added powerful camera apps Focal (but none of the advance function seems to work for now)
3, new google search.. you can define where do you want to search.. (don't find it useful for now....maybe will be better after I get used to it)
4, some new menu on setting.. like buttons, color calibration etc... (no idea what will it helps me... so I just ignores it..)
5, new image editing tools on gallery.. really nice.. If it will include some more filter like area blur etc, I will consider to uninstall all other 3rd party image processing apps.
I just play with it for a few hrs. and I am using 14 Aug nightly build. Hope it helps.. I will keep post it if I found any errors and goodies. Thanks

I just play with it for a few hrs. and I am using 14 Aug nightly build. Hope it helps.. I will keep post it if I found any errors and goodies. Thanks

OK... The problem of missing apps, google now's card and google map positioning has been resolve by re-install(flash) the newest version of gapps + remove and add my gmail account again. But all other problem remains.

so, if there is nightlies can we assume it will have a stable version in the future, or it could never reach the stable version ? i mean, there are 10.1 nightlies after stable version that probably wont reach a new stable 10.1 version , right ?

Yes, we will have a CM 10.2 stable version in the future, I read in Cyanogenmod that the final stable release of CM 10.1 will be 10.1.3:

Yeah right, just warn somebody who want to install if it is their primary phone.
1st of all it can boot and all the other normal phone function works. (wifi, 3G, SMS, whatsapp, call out and call in etc.)
uninstall and flash the gapps 1st and re-install those apps that didn't run seems work on most cases. That's also what I did when I face apps problems on this nightly... ie.. clean install might be a good idea, I just dun want to lose anything from clean install.
But honestly...from the user side, there is nothing really special between 4.22 (CM10.1) and 4.3(CM10.2). Personally, if I know the difference is not much, I will stay with 4.22 from now.
Thanks,
Mike

In ways of the UI, no there is not much different, however 4.3 changes are more "under the hood" in general it Should require the use of less resources which would free up more Ram, it should have a smoother UI and feel snappier as well as handling Games better, However in the stages of nightlies nobody can be sure whether it will show/feel any different to 4.2.2, Nightlies are more about "Bragging Rights" until they become more stable.
On my Nexus7 running stock 4.3 i have noticed a difference from when it was on 4.2.2, however that's stock to stock and Official 4.3, however hopefully when the stable version of 4.3 is released we should then hopefully be getting confirmation of our device receiving Nightlies of Key Lime Pie :3
It's more then capable of running it!

But opengl es3.0 is a update in android 4.3 but tegra 3 don't support 3.0 and opengl is important for gaming and makes the phone smoother, our phone is not smoother on 4,3 i think

Thanks for let me know about it, I dunno if there is any "under the hood" between 4.22 and 4.3. My sister is using Nexus 4, but I dun really tell the differences. It is good to know Nexus 7 will perform better in 4.3, coz' it is also using Tegra 3. I am also looking forward if CM can provide Key Lime Pie to our 4x HD while google mentioned 5.0 can be good even on those 2.3 generation device. Sometimes I found our device is just lack of RAM to have this nice processor, but heat problem is still the main concern on our device. It runs super slow when it is hot, not even mention about the battery life and charging problems.
As I said from my previous msg. This phone is nice on its price tag, but it has some technical problems, but I still like about it.
Sorry I think I was out of the topic. OK now I get back to it. For now, (my nightly build is up to-day) it is still very unstable. A lot of apps get stuck and ask for stop(terminate) even for the UI and Chrome. Response is worse than 10.1. As it is a nightly, I am not complaining. I just want to warn the ppl try to use it as primary and list my opinion.

As I know supporting something on a OS level means they have api (talk to hardware) for it. It is nothing about the smoothness.
You can think like opengl es3.0 has more function on it but if the apps dun use it, it has nothing to do with it. It is not like anti-alias that it can override on it.
the mean of "under the hood' is more like it has better code or use less ram to provide better overall performance.
Hope I am not wrong.

My Google account is not working anymore. I tried to flash new gapps, remove Google account from system. But nothing seems to work. Play Store, Gmail and gtalk dont connect. What I have to do to fix this?
I was using CM10.1 and update to cm10.2 using cm updater.
Ty!

Gapps are not compatible is all, nothing too major bro, have a googl search for some gapps for 4.3 or CM10.2, you can find minimal ones i'm sure, then simply flash them through your current recovery and bingo! However 10.2 is still buggy.. You sure you want to be on it? :s
Here's what I did and haven't had any issues:
- backup
- flash CM 10.2
- boot
- notice play store not working, apps that use Google maps missing
- flash new gapps from goo.im
- boot
- everything working as before

I think that I've downloaded the incorrect package. Can you give me the link of the package you have used?
I'm flashing this: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip

Yes, that's the one.
Slight correction, however. I just noticed Play Store and YouTube not working. I cleared data for Google Services Framework and removed/added my Google account and they're both working again.
CM 10.2 Aug. 17 runs amazingly well... Camera flash lag is fixed, Titanium backup still gives a parsing error when reinstalling apps from backup. Oddly the draStic DS emulator closes when trying to switch screens.. And Need for Speed for Speed Most Wanted stops right before the title screen, FF III work surprisingly but not the others still haha. Otherwise it is handling itself quite well even on the 2.5.3 Prime Kernel that is out temporarily for it. I'm sure it will be ironed out. Only difference is just the Gles 1.1 picking up more points on the fps and a little boost of the score. I do like the RGB color options and the vibration strength option. The other CM 10.2 Roms are problematic for me.. So far Team CM is on-point. Much props to you Penguin449 for that Kernel post.
