Android 4.3 Support for Applications - Nexus 4 General

Today after a reboot I noticed a little issue with app support for not-supported-by-the-developer-anymore like XDA Developers official app and tTorrent pro unfortunately.
It looks like that it is to do with the new classes which is not supported by the ClassLoader somehow.
What applications do you have which force close or in this case unsupported since you have updated to Android 4.3?

I had DroidWall completely stop working (when enabled, the internet basically broke for everything). I switched to Android Firewall by jtschohl, which works fine.

Google disallowed it on purpose for security purposes.

I had problems with MX Player, but fortunately there is a working beta version on its official page, and Asfalt 7, witch forces close and I didn't find any workaround yet.

I have problem with floating touch app, now doesn't disappear from notification center

[DEV] Pebble 2.0 with AppStore [APK] [OFFICIAL] + [BETA]

You can test test the new firmware just read instructions here : https://developer.getpebble.com/2/getting-started/
Just install the new app and flash the new firmware on your pebble.
All previous watchapps need to be recompile in 2.0 version to be compatible again.
Warning : It's currently under beta and should be reserved for developers only.
>>>Final 2.0 in the Play Store : HERE

Thanks! Going to give it a shot now. Have you noticed any improvements?
SDK 2.0 is a big change from the previous version, but as the title above, it's in BETA and IMHO is not ready for a daily driver yet.
The most annoying thing if you're on Android and running it is the major 'settings' bug for 2.0 watchfaces/watchapps. Can't seem to go into the watch/app setting without rebooting the Pebble, and this has to be done every single time.
Why did v2 break nearly every existing watchapp? From what I see, all the old functionality is still there. Using the api version info in the watchapp (I think it's in the header) would allow for legacy apps to continue to function.
Imo, breaking existing apps is almost always unnecessary...
Beta2 is available new android apps and new firmware to flash.
Currently in BETA and works only with the new version of apps, compile with SDK 2.0.
I use it daily and have no specific problems.
Beta 2 is out. Only problem I'm having is with Glance. Every once in a while, it will start vibrating non stop for about 5 seconds, then reboot...
I have not much problem with glance but the Pebble keeps disconnecting and reconnecting by itself even though the phone is next to the Pebble.

I just got my pebble Friday. I upgraded to the beta 2.0 on Saturday. Everything seems to be working fine with 2.0 and Glance.
Beta 3 is now available, feel free to flash it
The Android app fixes a large number of JS-related bugs.
The Android app fixes a bug where all messages sent to android would be automatically acknowledged. Your application should acknowledge app messages.
Some new user features in the firmware: Notification settings (with Do Not Disturb), better Alarms
Lots of small UI and stability fixes in Pebble.
Where's the 'Do not disturb' feature in beta 3?
Edit: Disregard, I found it.
Beta 4 is available :
Fixed a problem where the iOS app would get killed after a few minutes in the background
Lots of Data Logging fixes on the firmware and on Android
Added timestamps on accelerometer samples
Improved error handling for PebbleKit JS apps on iOS and Android
I don't see beta 4, the link shows beta 1 file.
Is that file the new beta 4?
BC the beta 1 I downloaded doesn't fully work.

I installed beta 5 and I've been getting a lot of reboots(3 today) bluetooth disconnects to the point that it turns off bluetooth.
Anyone else having these issues?
haven't had any issues with Beta 5. maybe do a factory reset? also delete your dalvik-cache and see if that helps.
Seems to be working better, I think it may be linked to glance. Going to try it with out that app installed.

It's very weird, what could it be? I'm personally having this problem... Are you sure you're running on the last facebook playstore version?

I am guessing all those that was listed for the preview 3 (located in the theme section). Unless the app developers make the app compatible for Marshmellow, nothing will change I dont think

It might be that they updated their apps, but I had signficantly more apps not working under Preview 3, including Bank of America and Discover.
Regardless, I'll try to do a search under the themes section for the list.
Thanks.

I had a bunch of similar apps, that were not working after the update came out. Tried uninstalling, cache clear and reinstalling. Not one of them is crashing anymore.
Is the battery usage better?

I can't get Pocket Bible by Laridian to open. It goes through the setup process when the app is launched and then crashes. I'm guessing a permission problem, but I'm not certain. This is completely stock and not rooted.

You guys with Snapchat issues using an updated version? Sure you haven't restored an old version?

I didn't restore anything. Do videos work or saving pictures work for you
can anyone give me the list of preinstalled apps that can be uninstalled.

Chrome custom tabs not "activating"

The title might be a little misleading, but links are not opening in Chrome custom tabs, but the full browser instead. I have tried on CM and on stock. Meanwhile, just about everything opens in the Chrome tabs on my wife's phone (Galaxy S5), and this includes the news feed in the Google Now app. At first, it would open them intermittently, and now, it completely stopped opening custom tabs.
Did any of you get it to work consistently?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
Chrome app provide the necessary stuff to apps to make them open their link into custom tabs
As an exemple the Google search remove this feature from time to time (don't know why in the last update the features is in it)
But It is an option in Google+ app check if it is ticked
In Google news and weather app it is force enabled now
So it's really depending on app i guess our nexus receive more update or maybe you're in the beta build of Google now?
Well...after no, and I mean, NO app updates, Chrome custom tabs are working on my phone from both the search results and the Now cards. Whatever...
And I wasn't referring to custom tabs from apps...I was referring to custom tabs from Google Now itself. Still doesn't make sense to me, but whatever.
Edit: But using the custom tabs for Google searches...it works a lot faster than opening the full app. The loading speeds are awesome!

I don't understand if you want them enable or disable
Anyway go to parameters -> account (the first one) look at the pic now the arrowed one is the switch for this
I wanted them enabled. I checked those settings, and it was enabled. I toggled it off and back on, and they started to work after a few minutes.
Thanks, though. Fixed the problem since my last post.

Here's another way for you to use custom chrome tabs. Just download this app from Google Play : Chromer
It's not a browser app but it forces links to be opened on custom chrome tabs. I'm using it and it works perfectly.

Multi window apps not working properly

Ok now I've never had issues using multi window with my slingbox app but I cannot get it to work properly! I used to always watch the game on slingbox app and look at my fantasy team without issues.... Now when I interact with second app other than slingbox app it stops and goes to connect screen! This also happens while I search for opponent in my clash of clans game! It always worked before but same thing if I interact with second app it resets the game! This is frustrating the f out me so if anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated!

I also have this issue. I'm on Verizon. I used to be able to play nfl mobile and waze at the same time on my note 5 but the nflmobile will stop if I touch anything on the waze app. Same thing applies with nfl mobile and any football fantasy app (nfl, espn). Would be a shame for such a powerhouse of phone to now be limited.

I'm currently having the same issues. Would be nice to know if its just on some device or every device. Do you have a different launcher installed other than the native Samsung? I currently have Nova Launcher installed, not sure if that is the problem but if I remeber correctly when I first obtained my Note 8 I didn't have this issue. I just realized it recently, not sure if its because of the Update or the Launcher.
I was running the stock Samsung experience and had the same issue. I can't say if it did prior to the update though.

Same issues unlocked N8. If i open a game (Dominations) and Notes...the game turns all pink and it times out.
@On another topic - does anyone know if we can work 2 apps in landscape? I'm quite surpised that the note with its unusual long shape cant do multi window on landscape
Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk
I am also running Nova launcher but apparently that's not the issue! I have a feeling that the issue started when Android went to native multi window so its an Android issue! Apperently when Samsung provided the os with multi window everything worked! I could be wrong but it makes sense and I believe multi window came on nougat but it's just a hunch. Regardless it's really annoying and I hope someone knows about it and is working to resolve the issue!
Sent from my SM-N950U using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I was thinking the same thing, but then was wondering why I can't find anything on the web regarding this problem. As if it doesn't bother anyone else or it might just be my device that is having this issue.
Yeah did a search before even posting a question and came upon this thread. I guess only a few care about this lol. Hopefully a solution does comeby :/

I have been running Waze and another traffic app next to each other in multi window mode (portrait and landscape mode works). Initially it was working more or less fine. It does happen that if the traffic app is the active screen, Waze would not show any updates on the map. Waze does show updates on directions as text on top of the screen. However after the last November update, only the active screen is working and the other screen does not update. I noticed if you have two apps that plays media, it cannot be played simultaneously. Using Whatsapp and something like Youtube doesn't freeze the media playing.
Anybody found the solution yet?
