Open Overclocker (WTF >_>)

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

Market issues ...

I am not sure how many others out there may have experienced the issues I am about to describe, but it is extremely annoying. So I am asking all devs out there to please hear out this issue. I have searched all over for a solution with no result.
ISSUE:
Every action I perform in the Market takes nearly about 1 minute. So for instance, just opening Market takes about 1 minute to load the default Market home screen. So then I see an app I am curious of and click on it. It then takes another minute before the content about the app is fully displayed. Then lets say I want to install the app and click install. If permissions are required, it then takes another minute before that dialog fully displays with the OK/Cancel buttons. Then when the install completes, I can see in the notification bar that the application installed successfully, but the status of the app in the Market remains in the Installing state until I reboot my phone.
Other issues I have noticed is that going to GAMES --> ALL GAMES or APPS --> ALL APPS, I do not see the top paid apps or top paid games.
I have seen this behavior for all apps purchased and free.
Here are other factors. I have experienced this issue on both stock and custom ROMS. I am a big fan of Cyanogen and have tried the various methods on his wiki with no success. I have experienced this issue on different phones as well (i.e. MyTouch & Nexus One). I called Nexus One support and ran through all of their usual troubleshooting methods with no success. They eventually gave up and told me it was a T-Mobile problem.
Here's the other odd issue is that if I wipe my phone and log in with my wife's account, I don't have this problem. Google suggested I setup a new account, but that is not happening. I have had my gmail account since the beginning of time when they first offered trials for gmail. I also have purchased around 70 apps through the market.
Here is a logcat output I captured while attempting to download an app:

Any help would be greatly appreciated because I am now starting to lose interest in the Market because of this issue.
Thanks!

wrong section. q&a is where you wanna be

I am having the same issues and it sucks... sorry I cant help.. just wanted to let you know your not alone and it should be looked into

I understand where your going with that. I have posted the same in the newbie section with 0 responses. This section is where the magic happens. So I was hoping one of the devs out here might give a helping hand to figure out this issue. I have posted in the Market forums with 0 replys. I have contacted Google support directly with no luck other than directing me to T-Mobile blaming their service as the issue, even though I get the same problem over wireless.

Hey I appreciate the support man and I am glad to know that I am not the only one with this annoying issue. I have been a loyal customer to allot of these great devs out there and have purchased over 70 apps on my phone and then repaid for lots of those on my wifes phone just because I truly believe in supporting great talent. But ever since I have been having this issue (since moving from my G1 to the MyTouch and still with the Nexus), I haven't even had the interest to browse the market for new apps.

[Q] New market alarm service-why?-I want it gone...SCREENIE INCLUDED

Posted this on another forum and everybody started crying about it being in the wrong section rather than helping...rude.
What's with the running service, ' alarm service' for the market? Its always running and I want it gone.
Seems to have popped with the new market...
Thank you thank you

I think this might be what you are lookig for:http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlarmManager.html
SPECULATION on my part but from what I read looks like that is what it is.

I've checked my services periodically to see if this would ever popup for me, but it never did. :/
I'd say try uninstalling the updated market and wiping the cache/data for it via the applications menu under settings - same menu you went to to take that snap shot.

Well what's the disadvantage? Do you actually notice slowdown, battery draining, etc due to it? If not, why bother about it?

cause i just want it gone...to be honest

Forget it exists and do not worry about it.

Getting the 'Click' to work again.

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:

I am trying to do a Google search on the error message itself as well.

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.

for facebook app, no error, but no photo is saved, the camera app just crashes without saving.
it has been 2 weeks now, the support suggested a factory reset, and i wont do it its too much backup and work, i believe there might be an easy way.

Seems like permissions to save to to sd card somehow got revoked. From the sounds of it since multiple apps are involved, factory reset might be better. You can use an app like Swiftbackup(cannot save data if not rooted unless you use shizuku) which will save lot of time and effort.

you sure ? because even for local storage, still same problem.

No idea what changed, facebook can save images now ! but only facebook, apps like 9gag can't, comics and manga can since ever.

Any updates ?

I found the solution, posted on reddit, precisely :

Ok. The solution is to turn off dual app support, reboot, and then turn dual apps back on again and reenable the ones you want back.
Annoying, but it works.
Screenshots work again also.
Hope this works for you, like it did for me.
Settings>Apps>Dual Apps>Hexagon>Delete dual apps' accounts>wait 5 seconds>Delete>Reboot
