I find it strange that this App seems to try to open itself upon startup.....even after I have wiped twice switching ROMs. How is it even on there?

Probably stores information somewhere else on the phone than normal. adb shell your phone and look for it manually

Hmm odd.. I wrote that app and I made an activity that starts on startup the normal way... not sure why it would still be there after a wipe... *shrug*
I had a similar issue with another app. No matter how many times I wiped, there it was. I think the Market got "wonky" and was downloading it each time I started up for the first time after a wipe. Almost seemed the market website didn't get notified of the successful download/install and was trying to "finish" the download upon signing back on.
whats the problem? uninstall it if you don't like it. personally, I think its a great application and I use it daily.
What should you keep your settings on with this app, both high and low. Also after applying the numbers do you need to reboot?

Seems like a silly question, but do you use apps on SD card.
One of my favorite features of doing that is that I dont actually have to reinstall after wiping, just redo the simlink
Argh! Stupid browser double posting

That depends on personal preference. I keep mine at 528/528 'cause I like me some speed
EDIT: forgot the second half of your post, you don't need to reboot after applying.
ive never been able to get open over clocker to do ANYTHING, i put values in the box hit apply and nothing happens... reboot... cpu at same speed.... its like the button just does nothing, tried the standalone app and dudecake.9 with it integrated. it hasnt ever caused me any problems and removing it worked fine for me, it just never did much of anything at all for me
are you using the dude's build? he included the app in his builds until this last build

Cool.. Just loaded it on vegan beta 5.1. Seems to work just fine. Don't know if I see any more stuff, but never really had a problem finding things with the other ones.
I do notice that the appearance seems crisper. Like maybe they are using a higher quality. Or, maybe not.
Still the same for me. Stars still truncated. Missing apps still missing.
The new apk is about 600 MBA larger than earlier one.
Jim
Just for fun I went ahead and did the market fix again. Didn't need to but I saw the earlier post and was curious. I never could get it to open after the first reboot. Had to reboot again. Then once it started working I have noticed more of the "android.process.acore" errors, and server errors then with the older one. I will be rolling back to a previous version myself since this doesn't seem to really make anything better.
I wonder if there should be an updated GoogleServicesFramework with this?

Kind of wonder that myself. Did you notice any difference in the look? Like a higher res look for the fonts? Or was I just seeing things? That would sort of make sense for the size difference of the file I guess..

Works for me
I'm running vegan 5.1 with pershoots latest kernel and here are my findings thus far. I backed up market with titanium and installed the update, immediately opened market. Everything looks to be there, I searched for a few things and installed one or two. I looked for adw and couldn't find it, I did see its themes but not the app. Rebooted, loaded up market no fc's, until I tried to roll back to previous version to look for adw because I am almost certain it was there before. Interestingly I did see appbrain which I've never been able to get before. Never tried market fix, and did not notice any image improvement. Anyone know for certain what to look for to see if it actually improves previous market? I'm going to try and fix my market now and will report back if anyone's interested.
I installed via the apk (there is also an update.zip available) and all working well. No reboot or clearing Google Services Framework required.
I had previously preformed the well documented market fixes but could never quite get the entire market. Everything appears to show up now.
I'm not sure it is complete I can't find a few things. But then again I found a bunch of things I couldn't find before either. Catch 22 yet again.
anyone else having a problem with 'Media Volume' not working after this update? The rocker doesn't work, I tried to go in the settings (I had to unmute and turn the system sound back up - no dice), I even tried to play a video and turn up the sound using the software controls within that program....nothing works.
How do I revert back? Where is the old .apk located?
....also had to turn my wi-fi on with each reboot, which is new.
Running Vegan5.1
I think it would be most helpful if you guys actually listed the names of the titles of the apps that you either DO or DO NOT see once you have tried this. Just might help in the troubleshooting aspect. For what its worth.
ckelly,
search xda for market or vending.apk and you will find many versions to play with
Volume corrected on reboot #2.
Wi-Fi still needs to be manually connected..
@sixvolt
Since this appears to not improve things, you must have had even less apps show up than we did and this update brought you to par with the rest of us. Everything is relative
First of all, read everything! Second, click the link to see a picture of what the build.prop should look like. And lastly, I am not responsible for you being lazy and inpatient.
First of all, I take no credit for it, I just want to move it here for other users who might have not seen it. All credit goes to Sprintusa.
This even makes the quality of Netflix even better! Just follow the link to the post which was posted inside a thread of the Android Apps forum. I used it and it worked great!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13952218&postcount=722
EDIT: I will re-do all my steps and check if this still functions. I will post results here.
EDIT 2: Okay, so here's something strange, before I even went back to the original build.prop settings I uninstalled Netflix from my apps. Then went into the Market and downloaded the Netflix app from there and it worked fine for me. As I'm writing this South Park (Dances with Smurfs) is streaming perfectly.
EDIT 3: I re-did everything except for use the APK listed in the link. I didn't use any APK. After I edited the original build.prop settings I saved and rebooted. Went into Market and installed Netflix from there. I can say that this works on my HD2 running latest Hyperdroid CM7. The only issue would be that the Stock Navigation app disappears. And some issues with a few apps.
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO TYPE IN "machimachi" INSTEAD OF "mahimahi"
FINAL EDIT:Okay so I figured out how to get Netflix working and all other apps that seemed to have issues to remain fine. It's rather a simple task but I will write out everything step by step in this post.
STEP ONE: Edit build.prop settings to;
ro.product.model=Nexus One
ro.product.brand=google
ro.product.name=passion
ro.product.device=passion
ro.product.board=machimachi
ro.product.manufacture=HTC
After you do so, tap the menu button and select Save & Exit, it should also save a backup copy of the original build.prop. Make sure it does because it's needed for later! Afterwards reboot phone.
STEP 2: This is an easy step, after phone reboots, go to the Market and Netflix should be there, download it. Now sign in and make sure you watch something, please do this so it can register on the Netflix site that you're on a Nexus One. After you do so, exit Netflix.
STEP 3:Now go back to your build.prop file, hold on it and select "delete."
Make sure you do NOT delete the one that says "build.prop.bak."
Okay, all you have to do now is hold onto the file build.prop.bak and rename if to "build.prop"
The icon should change back to the original build.prop icon. Now reboot phone!
And Whaaaa-Laaaaa! Netflix working as well as all other apps that were affected by the Master hack.
Worked fine for me, my TyphooN build wouldn't show it in the market.
Used ES Explorer to edit the build.prop file (enable writable root in settings).

just downloaded it, it doesnt work. as soon as you boot it says there is a new version that you must install before you can use the program. after clicking ok it searches the market (?) and it says it's unavailable. rederening this version useless. manual search on the market doesnt make it show up either. i'm using gbx v12 if that makes a difference.

This hack does work but be aware of odd issues noted afterward.
I edited my build prop file exactly as shown in the post and installed the posted apk, and although the attached screenshot shows "mahimahi" not "machimachi" as the post itself shows I used machimachi. But on my hd2 when I shut off and restarted the phone I found these settings immediately breaks the GPS and makes my stock navigation (blue arrow) icon and its associated app. Inoperable. So I reverted back to my original build prop settings, saved, rebooted. Then downloaded the uppdated Netflix app (will add link to this post when I find it again), and Netflix, GPS, Navigation icon and it's app works normally again.
Edit: found link to working apk.

Yes you have to do what's explained in the link. I used root explorer. And make sure you type "machimachi" instead of "mahimahi".

I would now guess I should have just added these lines to the build.prop? And not just delete what is inside and leave it the only thing. Well that bricked my phone, now I guess I have to do a install of E19 again and start from scratch, unless someone knows how to restore the backup? My phone won't boot now..
Well adding them didn't work.. (I also managed to unbrick my phone)

When you first sign in are you still on the edited Build.prop? Make sure when you download Netflix and sign in that you're still on the edited build.prop and not the original one.
Yes, I haven't restored it yet.. Very frustrating, I downloaded and app that now won't let me logon, says wrong password. I might just give up on this Netflix thing soon, my free trial will run out soon.

Hmmm I might pass then. I have a tablet coming in, might see if it works with that.
ok i searched this issue but found nothing useful or helpful to fix this but every picture i take seems to dissappear after a few minutes and all i get is a gray triangle with an ! mark inside it for all pictures taken by the camera. anyone else have this issue?
im on bady boyz rom
rooted s-offed
h/k m8
No body is having issues with pictures not displaying correctly?? Im on ViperONEM8 rom but it did this on the stock rom and badboyz as well. must not be rom related but i dont know so sum one have any ideas what the issue is? thanks
Have you tried changing the storage location? Also, are you restoring your gallery each time you try a new ROM? You could have the folder hidden on accident and as you restore the gallery that folder becomes hidden again. See if you cannot find the photos another way, for example: Quickpic or ES File Browser.

unfortunately yes i did try changing the storage location, in the camera app i changed it to ext sdcard & phone storage both same issue. also i used the Xposed module "Downloads2SD" & "Pictures2SD" both to change the location but still same issue. as for restoring my gallery, no i dont restore it at all when installing new rom. unless somehow it automatically restores from my google account but i dont think it does.
I also have used Root Browser & ES File Explorer to look in every directory on phone and sdcard for the pictures and they cant be found anywhere.
thanks again for replying and trying to help appreciate it much. any other ideas tho?

What happens when you use a different camera app? If that doesn't work either I would suggest an RUU. If an RUU doesn't work I would suggest returning the phone.

im beginning to suspect that KK write protection with the external sdcard is the culprit for this but im on viperonem8 and have tried the fixes i found that are suppose to fix the write protection issue and still having same issues. so anyone have any working fixes at all please let us know thanks

I am having the exact same issue and it is frustrating as hell. Especially when I get a great picture, then I go to show someone and it is ****ING GONE.. The only way that I can seem to save them if is when I take them, I immediately share them. After doing extensive research, I have narrowed it down to 2 possible issues.
1) The SD card is somehow corrupted, I purchased a 64GB SD card from eBay and I just recently read about an SD card scandal that was going on which could be the culprit. To test this, I am first going to try with a smaller card that I know works. If that doesn't work, I am going to have the pictures stored on the phone and see if that keeps them.
2) This problem really started to show itself after I downloaded an app called OneGallery, I don't really know if that has anything to do with it, or if it is completely coincidence. If replacing the SD card doesn't work, deleting this app will be the next step.
I love the phone too much to just turn it in or swap it out.

Yes, I know that the filename is "Effect_Tick.ogg" located in /system/media/audio/ui. I also know that the 'setting' is in "Settings -> Sound and notification -> Other sounds". But for some reason, it just will not play.
Yeah, I like to hear that click when I press things on my phone(s). So much so, that I have kept the old ICS sound around to write it to my other phones since.
I'll try to make this short. I had my old Nexus 6 go into a bootloop about a year ago so I restored it with a factory flash and then re-rooted it and flashed my favorite Rom, Pure Nexus 5.1.1. It (the click) had worked before, but I do not know why it stopped working. There were other problems still on my phone so I finally bought a new one and flashed it to this ROM. I used MyBackupPro to restore my apps as I do not care for some of the newer version of apps that I use. I was also trying to flash the TBO market on my phone as well. When first I flashed my phone, the click was working, but somewhere along the line it stopped. If I use root explorer and go to the file's location and press on it, it will play just fine. So I'm just not sure what's up.
I did get a big hint. I installed "FP Click sound changer". Within that app, when I press on "Effect_Tick.ogg" I get the following message:
"java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.media.MediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(int)' on a null object reference"
This leads me to believe that is is something inside of framework-res.apk or systemui.apk or something like that. I didn't see enough in build.prop to make me think it would be in there. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
The error you're getting with FP Click Sound Changer is because the app likely isn't properly initialized. Meaning a change in Android between when the app was last updated and now has broken the app. The error has nothing to do with either of the .APK files you mentioned. If I recall correctly, neither system app deals with media to begin with.
The most obvious question here is whether you have tried a new copy of the audio file, even if it appears to work perfectly. If you have done that and are still having issues, one of your apps that you are using is causing the problem. You're going to have to do some troubleshooting to resolve this, namely starting with a blank slate and reinstalling apps one at a time until you find the one that causes the problem. Before you protest, any answers without you attempting some troubleshooting on your own are merely guesses made off of inadequate data.
Thank you for the reply, however my ROM was 'cooked' up on Sept 2015 and FP Click Sound changer was released/updated on Dec 26 2015, so what you suggest cannot be the cause. Besides, it only throws the error on Effect_Tick.ogg and no other system sound. And yes, I do have fresh copy of the file from ICS days.
But you are correct, if nobody knows which system app would throw that error message, then I know a fresh start is in order.
On this forum, many people have updated their N6 to more up-to-date versions of Android than the version you had. However, I wouldn't have provided that answer had you told us which version of Android you were running in the first place as well as the fact you built it yourself.
In any event, I hope your fresh start works out for you. You may also want to consider building a newer version of AOSP for yourself as well.
Thank you again for the reply, however:

Well, I certainly meant no offence. Some years back, I used to to help folks out with their Android phones/problems and would at times be about the same way as you. Many times the details were not there. However equally so sometimes, the OP did provide the answers but the others that would chime in did not seem to read all of them.
With that said, I was thinking about rewording my question to perhaps ask if anyone knew which system apps on Android 5.1.1 would call for Effect_Tick.ogg so I could try to find where it had been set to 'null', but I stumbled across my solution after all. File permissions. So for any readers:
Yes, using ES Explorer, I copied again my good Effect_Tick.ogg to /system/media/audio/ui and it still didn't work except in music player. So I thought since ES would allow me to see and change file permissions, let me take a look. Sure enough, the file permissions for Effect_Tick.ogg were different than all the other sounds in that location. It was set to rw,rw and group sdcard,s. All the others were rw,r,r and group root. Changed to match the others and problem solved. :highfive:
Thanks very much again for trying to help, at least someone (you) did and that does mean a lot to me on such an old(ish) device since as you said, many have moved on and/or flashed much newer versions of Android to the N6. :good::good:
I'm glad you solved your problem. Even better, you came back to tell us about it.
Too many find the solution and don't say anything.
