As always, if this is already answered elsewhere then please just send a pointer, but I couldn't find anything useful after a decent amount of searching.
After playing with NookieFroyo and NookieHoneycomb, I decided to go back to the rooted stock ROM as my daily driver. I like the status bar on the bottom with soft keys embedded, and I like having access to the B&N reader without having to dual-boot. My main issue with stock was the lack of corporate calendar, but I even managed to get that working (although the Agenda view crashes it).
The one thing odd I've noticed with the rooted stock ROM is that sometimes the color scheme seems to cause fonts not to show up in some applications, primarily in their dialogs. For example, if I go into Miren and select Settings>About Miren Browser, the text in the resulting dialog is invisible except for the URL which is underlined-blue. Similar if I go into Miren's user agent selection dialog. I see the radio buttons but not their labels.
Does anyone know why this is happening and, more to the point, how to fix it?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
I've seen this too, mostly with text next to "checkmark" settings

Notes:
5-18-2011
Done and submitted to Market Place, i put to links at the bottom, you can grab the version without ads or if you wanna be awesome, you can grab the version with ads.. up to you, i dont judge!
5-16-2011
This version has ads while i test out the app. when the app is complete, the link will go to the version without ads for XDA users.
So this is an app i am currently working on. In the end it will be ad supported, but for now i will be sharing it here.
Once you are in, feel free to look me up : thefro : and say hi!
This is a work in progress, so obviously not everything is in place yet.
Working:
You and others join channels to chat in.
Settings and avatar (synced with server)
Push Messaging
Find people around you
Live Tile
Kinda Working:
All is well for now...
Upcoming:
cosmetic upgrades
All feedback is welcome!!
If you do try it out and run into issues, please let me know so i can fix it!
Usage Notes:
There will not be a list of channels, you will have to join one(by typing in a name), and tell others to meet you there. This is to keep thing private'ish... so you dont have random people just showing up. Most items will have context menus, so when in doubt, long press.
I can be found in channel : "support" - Push is done, so i will be able to catch your messages even with the app closed!
Nightly builds will always be at this link... i will also try to keep them as stable as possible. - No new builds until i need to make changes..
While there are daily updates, check the link often as i usually upload new versions as features are completed.

Hello Everyone, i found some odd bugs that may not let you log in. ( i never uninstall it, just keep updating so i had no idea they were there )
Those are now fixed as well as a few other improvements.
Check the link for the updated version.
Hello again...
I see lots of views, and some people even went far enough to create an account..
Please leave any feedback...
If something doesnt work, or makes it crash...
tell me its a horrible idea, or that maybe you like it and want more...
Well, sorry for the long delay if anyone was waiting... i was out of the country..
Later!
-Edit....
So, i decided to see why there were no users doing anything even though i see new users in the system and the fact that this has a pile of views. Come to find out, people could not complete the new user signup process... so i fixed it and now users can create accounts and try out the app... If you created an account and had this issue, i had to delete your account since the process was incomplete...
Feel free to try the app again, and hopefully let me know of any other problems that may arise.
Now that it is done, this is the last bump... it goes somewhere or it doesnt.

I'm sorry, i should have mentioned this. It's completely based on IE
Everybody who couldn't install yet, try this:
1. copy the zune-link i sent you.
2. write a mail to yourself.
3. open it on your phone.
for the 12 folks that are already in i sent a mail to their live-inbox.
hope that solves the installation issue.
Installing got no problem.Try google you tube it's quite fast and manage toplay video without any problem.The only thing I must get used to the tab.Well so far there's not any bug yet .
When I make a new tab it seems I can't search when I type xda developers it says ERROR Invalid url.I think every tab that we make if possible make to the home page.

thanks for fast feedback
BETA tester
My response from BETA-testing. (Note: Even if you have posted some bugs I'll still fill my list with what I experience)
Phone: LG Optimus 7
Status: Works perfectly!
My current status: Stopped BETA testing.
Positive:
100% fullscreen
Customization!
Live tile with information about current session!!
Slide up the URL tab on fullscreen to get to normal view without fullscreen.
Fast web browser
Share page function (lovely!!)
It's now my official MAIN browser!
-
-
Things to maybe improve & suggestions:
First startpage is google.de, could have been google.com (but nothing special actually)
Maybe you could make your own videoplayer to play eg. youtube videos on, instead of using the phone's player (not required since the videoplayer of the phone is also good)
Also have the abillity to press the favorites url instead of only the visit button at the bottom. But keep it.
Maybe slide with 2 or 3 fingers down on the screen for entering/exiting fullscreen mode?
-
-
Negative and or Currently found bugs:
When entering fullscreen mode, it's hard to get back to regular. I had to tap like 5 times on the black button at the bottom left. (hard to use the button)
If the application opens without internet connection it will say ERROR, no network available. But it does say it when I change to other menus such as settings (keep spamming ERROR everywhere)
Theres no suggestion of websites when entering a url for eg. if you enter www.fa it could show up some suggestions like facebook or failblog.
-
I'll edit this post with more when I find
thanks for that wonderful feedback, so much inspiration
some response to the bugs:
- i'm currently working on the suggestionlist, shouldn't be that difficult.
- for the fullscreen-button i got a new solution, what should make it much
easier.
- the Network-check must be fixxed, thanks for your discovery.
@Ttblondey: search function is now included
I have given my review here and video review here.
Overall I found the app to be very nice and smooth. A good alternative for sure but there are few things you can look into except the bugs which is already reported.
1) One is integration with skydrive for syncing bookmarks etc.
2) More Gestures
3 ) Open up option for both Google and Bing as search engine.
4 ) cookie turn on and off.
Rest is all good, keep us rolled in beta.

I'm really pleased about your review.
1) 2) & 4) are noticed.
for 3) view my changelog
could you sent me this app? [email protected]
thanks
Please read the first post carefully
I would like a "Search for text" function in the functions menu Would be awesome to be able to search for words on a page
And else I can say that I'm really happy with the browser, works well, and hopefully soon releasing? Because then you could like update with small minor updates incase something is needed
Happy New Year roqstr!
there's a search for text function ;O it's just not my own at the moment, a provisional solution,if you will
Yea, but i always find features that shouldn't be missing in the release-version, to make it working right
next week i'll be busy with school, shouldn't fail my exams
afterwards, i'd be able to release an open beta, just for some extra feedback
next step is fixing last issues and then i'll release ;P
if somebody do have experience with apphub, pubcenter & co, he can pm me to help me understanding
thanks, hope you all enjoyed New Year's Eve, i did ;P
Still waiting to test this thing
it looks nice, can't wait for release :O
I wrote a browser, based on IE its in my signature.
I'll be happy to test your browser and get better result to my and your app.
Biggest issue at the moment is the picture-viewer, but I hope I can handle this soon.
@sma6871: I'll test it and message you when I have questions or suggestions.
Unfortunately I forget to set trial mode, but now I send a trial mode enable update, and it will be up to date soon.
open beta out now. read 1st post!
Here is my feedback :
1.Dropdown to switch between search engines
2 Where did Advance Main Colour Gone ?
3. When I try yo change Main Colour Accent Colour it gives me sorry message "You Should not Overwrite the accent style"
4. Find Text Crashes the app
5. You can think of ignoring pics which are of very small size in the Picture view.
6. Picture viewer also picks up YouTube thumbnail as picture but does not display anything.
Hi guys,
anyone got an idea why it itsn't possible AT ALL with Android 4.4 to post a picture on Facebook or other sites that allow uploading content?
The maximum reaction i get out of it is "failure opening file",it just doesn't work with any browser (tried Dolphin,Chrome,Firefox,Stock)
This happens on every 4.4 based ROM somehow,can't thank you enough for any input about this matter
edit: 85 views and not a single "yeah,i face the same problem" or "no problem on my side at all",whats up with that
edit2: it tested every 4.4 ROM now,not only CM11&CyanFox.Nowhere is the upload working trough Browser

Google made changes in KitKat replacing webkit with chromium webview and broke file upload, text reflow, etc. Basically web browsing is awful in KitKat, Google is aware but won't revert the changes. The only workaround at present is to use Opera Beta, or Firefox nightlies, there are other browsers with file upload but I would not recommend them at all if you don't want spyware. CM just implemented some changes on last night's nightly to fix file upload, but it's done nothing for me so far, still broken. At least the CM team is aware and willing to fix things.

Thank you for passing that info,this problem was/is driving me nuts and not reading anything about it other than my ramblings was the icing on the cake.
Maybe they can make it work again on CM

I'd blame developers just as much as Google though. I understand it makes sense for them to use a web engine that Android provides for free and save time and money, but this is what happens when Google breaks something, suddenly 90% of browsers are broken. Firefox uses its own gecko engine and thus is unaffected, Opera shows a bit of spirit and patches chromium to fix these things, on the other hand. And then most people use apps instead of a browser to do things, so if some of us protest, it's not relevant.
Anyway, know that there are lots of complaints over at AOSP, but Google's reply is that these changes are intended and won't be reverted, so that's that.
Edit : "From what I understand the following is what is broken in KitKat webview :"
• text wrap no longer works
• cannot upload files
• cannot save passwords
• cannot force enable zoom
• no inverted rendering
• cannot play Flash videos (broken in 4.3 too)
Woa,the rabbithole goes deeper & deeper.I thought this was a weird bug that just happens with custom ROMS of not officially supported devices but reading that it comes from Google (and they saying "deal with it") pushes this to a whole new level.

KitKat is such a kick in the ... for anyone developing on Android or just using it. Here's another jewel.
It looks like they're trying to restrict more and more things. The very reason many of us choose android over ios....

This whole KitKat issue transforms to a scandal of some sort.If Google doesn`t change its current course,we will be on full lockdown like iOS in 2 or 3 revisions (Android 6 for example).This roadmap doesn`t make me happy at all
Hi All,
I know this is a fairly new device, but I was super keen to get it specifically to put cyanogenmod 11 on. After having some trouble with the current version of TWRP posted in another thread here on XDA (which only worked when the phone was in an "out of the box" state, requiring me to do a factory reset due to a mini android update that was automatically applied between reboots - resolved), I got the stable channel release of CM11 which is listed as not having any issues, flashed it, and am having some issues.
The main problem I am experiencing is that regardless of which player I am using, if I open "Settings" from the status bar, whatever media I am playing goes silent. The player appears to still be playing, changing tracks, removing and reinserting headphones, clearing the playlist, re-opening the player...nothing fixes it. And then randomly some time later it will start making sound again if I leave the player running. Is there anyone else that can provide insight into this one? I have heard the problem is addressed for some in CM12, but that is not yet stable for our device.
Cheers.
I can confirm that you also lose system sounds, and that it applies even if you have no headphones plugged in and instead use the phone speaker. Total silence after accessing the settings from the statusbar. I have of course posted this on the Cyanogenmod system, but they have closed it pending a report dump which I cant produce till i am back at my android modding PC.
You have to remove the equaliser from quick settings. You can also use cm 12

As much as I understand you requiring help, you should post questions in the Q&A section and not in the development section.

Is this not a cyanogenmod 11 development issue? Happy for someone to shift it to Q&A if its not a development issue (I dont think I have that ability). Or are development threads only for posting finished products?
CONFIRMED: Problem is caused by equaliser quick settings tile
OK, so I can confirm that the problem is indeed the equaliser quicksettings tile/animation. So as described above there is a work around, and for anyone that needs to know the actual steps to disable the equaliser quicksettings tile please see below (it took me a while to work out as you cant just remove it with a drag/long press the way you can other tiles):
Go to settings>Notification Drawer>Quick Settings Panel>Dynamic Tiles
This is a list of the quicksettings tiles that pop up when triggered by a system event, disable the "Equalizer" (Sic) by unticking the checkbox and the bug goes away.
The equaliser continues to work, you just dont get the quicktile popping up and causing the bug.
Cyanogen Mod developers appear to have picked up the bug so maybe a fix coming to stable release soon?

The latest nightly release of CM11 now includes a fix for this bug. Official release channel still contains the bug, although it does not list it as a known issue for some reason. The next release M channel version should include the fix.
Calendar Not Working CM11
Next problem: trying to add anything to the calendar results in a user prompt that an account must be added first. I only have the cyanogenmod account linked to the phone, and that works fine for contacts. But in the calendar, if you select the cyanogenmod account, it tells you you can only have one account per phone. If instead you add an email address and set up say, work email, when you go back to the calendar it gives you the same prompt again. Does anyone know exactly what kind of account it requires to add, as nothing seems to work. Someone suggested to me to install the Google Calendar Sync component fro G-apps, however this would presumably share my calendar with google, which is precisely what I am trying to avoid by having cyanogenmod. Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

Then you can use the standard calendar app with the created offline calendar database.
No more need to sync anything with google...
