Official Honeycomb - Apps do not work - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

If you are on the official honeycomb update, could you please confirm which apps do not work properly. What about gameloft ones, they are notorious for the compatibility.

Asphalt 6 works great on rooted WiFi flyer with the latest honeycomb release

Only one I have a problem with out of my usual ones (list too big) is BBC iPlayer, and that just seems to be down to BBC themselves not adding the HC Flyer on the compatibility list yet.
I have noticed the lack of the old Google News and Weather app but found that in the forum after a quick search http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695349. It also works fine.
Edit: I have noticed that Google Earth has problems. The lower buttons for Look around and Zoom controls are missing, presumably under the new bottom bar! This is probably due to the same problem as in the PocketCloud thread, however they are fixing PocketCloud in next update.

ive found all my "borrowed" gameloft games have been removed by hc drm ,all worked flawlessly on gb.
bit o a bummer,dunno anyway to get round it just yet.
dont seem to be able to buy anything on market,just keeps saying update my cc details and voids the sale.
nothing wrong with my payment details tho.maybe they dont like uk anymore.
the builtin market with the official hc update doesnt seem to find much for the flyer and yet when using ffox,opera etc to go direct to market all the top stuff is there to see.
bit confuddled by it at the moment,wait for a way to root it n go from there i guess.

Couple of app incompatabilities
So far ive found a couple of issues with apps on my honeycomb flyer compared to my honeycomb galaxy tab 8.9.
ADW Launcher EX (see attached image)
1. The app drawer button that should be in the upper left is missing
2. the buttons on the top right for search, add widgets, wallpaper, etc are missing
3. The main app dock does not rotate to bottom of the screen in landscape mode
Astro File Manager
1. App menu bar at the top of the screen is missing, looks almost like its been pushed off the top because of resolution rather than scaling
Im sure there are more, but those are the apps i tend to use the most that are not stock htc apps.
Anyone have any ideas on the ADW launcher issues? i would really like to use that one because of the dock (really miss the persistent shortcuts on every screen like the flyer GB sense had)

Oops, this didn't come up in my search. I started one too, sorry

You have not done much research before throwing these out there. You can't just install the old app from a GB backup...,
just off the top of my head:
dolphin, weatherbug and swiftkey have tablet version , work on the HC flyer
dropbox, pulse, read it later, ebay and twitter works on the HC flyer
I run these on my HC flyer so your report that they don't work is incorrect
Perhaps you have not done a proper install of HC or the apps.

thanks for the update. When I first saw that there was a update available, I wondered if it was real... I got one that was fake a few weeks ago and nearly bricked my flyer.
Then...in the.notes for the updates I didnt see anything to tell me that I needed to uninstall anything. Perhaps it is a well known thing that you have to do that.

I haven't been able to get MC3 to work on my View (3.2.1). Or most Gameloft games for that matter.

For anyone having trouble with Pulse, try switching to dark mode, and back (or vice versa). For some reason that brought back the text in the articles for me...

No idea what you are talking about, honestly.
If you are going from GB to HC all of your apps should have been wiped. Don't try to reinstall from a Titanium backup of GB , that will cause all sorts of havoc on your HC , just install apps from the market fresh.

I've never used Titanium backup, and completely wiped data before the HC upgrade. All installs were fresh from the market.

this was same with GB also... not all gameloft games are compatible with flyer... dunno y may b some resolution stuff... but other games sega , konami , EA works fine

The Gameloft stuff is kind of cheeky. I got Backstab from that awesome Ten Pence Google Sale and it only works on my Samsung Galaxy SII.
Plus the stuff I bought in the past via their wap site doesn't even show up in the Android Market.

AVG antivirus pro doesn't work. Very frustrated because they haven't updated the tablet version in months, that's why I used the normal version. Now I feel vulnerable only using the free version...
Wave launcher as well...

AVG? really? The reason they don't update it is that there are virtually no viruses out there and it really useless unless you are downloaded black market garbage.

Yep. But it's not just an antivirus app. It has app backup functionality. Also scans for spam texts, safe search on web, & a phone locator. I used AVG because I use it on my laptop. I prefer pro versions of any app, even if its just to remove ads.

[Q] Stuff I've Done, Am I Missing Anything Good?

So I've had my gtablet for a little while and found some things I really like. I'm going to list them, and maybe say why. There are a couple things I couldn't get working. Really though, my purpose with this post is to see if anyone knows about anything really cool I'm missing!!!
The ROM: Calkulin's 1.1 - this ROM has been great. VERY responsive compared to TNT lite, a couple of the CM's, and Vegan that I have tried. I'm also running it with Clem's kernal. Still haven't been able to change anythign to fix the random shut off problem, but it restarts pretty quickly and I'm still getting 10+hrs batt life if I just leave the screen on when I'm at school.
Thumb Keyboard: From the market - this keyboard is awesome. It costs a couple bucks, but it's worth it. The keyboard is optimized for tablet use (ie - letters on the sides, so you're not reaching over the middle). Using it for a week now with no complaints.
ADW Launcher: I paid. Used it on my fascinate. Like it on my tab. Are there launchers optimized for tablets or anything cool/unique?
Hard Keyboard: it's a "genius" USB keyboard. It was 18 bucks. Kids at school make fun of me for having a corded keyboard but I don't care. It's light weight and works well.
Calibration.ini on my SD card. IT'S LIKE A DIFFERENT SCREEN!
Carbon Fiber Pattern Stick on from Ebay everyone else seems to have found. Like it a lot.
Market fix, although once in a while appbrain has an app the market can't seem to find. No real complaints yet though.
My biggest complaint is a widget problem - the Widget for SPRINGPAD does not exist! It's not even on the list. I wish I could find it.
I really enjoy using OFFICESUITE for taking notes in class and it supports keyboard shortcuts like copy/paste, save. 30 day trial is nice, too. RepliGo Reader has been my go-to pdf reader (I read a lot of those in PT school). Alkilido (sp?) Ebook reader is my go-to for ebook readers. Dropbox, and the titanium media sync for dropbox is great! I've been switching between Firefox Browser and Miren Browser for web browsing, but haven't found a browser for the tablet I'm completely sold on.
What i'd really like to find is a stylish looking folding case I've read through the posts and I'm not really excited about anything I've seen on amazon or etsy.
I guess my big question is: am I missing out on anything really cool?
Nice timeline of what you've done. Looks like you've tweaked the system to your liking.
As I thought about things you might have missed, it occurs to me that there isn't any one or several things you just have to do. It's more about the process of tinkering and playing with a new toy.
as for ROMs, I've tried TNTL, Vegan 5.X, and currently Vegan Ginger. They've all been great. Each has their own little quirks, and if you put made me use one or the other, I would be less upset about the actual choice, than the lack of choice.
I guess all I'm saying is just keep tinkering. Make sure you get comfortable with CWM backup, and flash away into new territories.
bah stupid forward button
Only thing I did in addition to those things was d isable the hard menu buttons on the side (I kept hitting them when I didn't want to) using button remapper and used button savior to make software keys that are easy to use.
As far as accessories VS dropped the ball in that area, from what I can see they are getting a nice penny from slapping their name on the tablet and paying for someone to update it a few times and they'll quit supporting it. I don't expect to see any "official" items for this tablet no matter what VS says.
A cool home launcher that's been optimized for tablets is VTL. Check it out in the Gtablet Apps section of XDA. It's based on ADW and is a work in progress but runs really well.
vtl is awesome but it doesnt play nice with caulkins
What is the "calibration.ini" all about? I am running TnT lite (though I an a CM7 fan on my phone), love almost everything but the viewing angles so if you have something that helps I'd love to know about it.
Thanks!
Create a file on the SD card called calibration.ini if you are unhappy about he responsive ness of your screen. I was, and the difference it made was like it became a completely different device!
Better yet, download this App and calibrate at will:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934500
The 'problem' with calibration.ini is that if you leave it on the SDcard, it recalibrates everytime you reboot. Not a problem unless you happen to be touching the screen while it does it!
With this app you can run the calibration at will.

That's the first thing I tried. Unfortunately, like some others on here, it did not fix the screen at all time. It worked the first day, but not anytime afterward for me. I then tried the .ini file fix, perfect!
I did the ini before I saw an app was released. Deleted after boot n its worked well since but thanks a lot! Can anyone recommend a good mobile web browser? I'm using Miren and Firefox. Tried skyfire and don't much care for the dolphin apps.

Can you be more specific? I'm running Calkulin+Clemsyn Froyo combo and VTL is included in that ROM. Seems to work as advertised for me.
Great thread OP!
Im running skyfire for now as my browser. Firefox all the way for my macbook and pc! The reviews for firefox in market make me not want to bother. Is it any better than skyfire? Only thing that bugs me is can't delete tabs, you've got to wipe cashed or after a reboot they are gone.
So what's the issue with the calibration of screen? Is this something everyone with a Gtab should do? Only just out of bootup is my screen unresponsive.
EDITI ran it and can now tell a huge difference! Everyone run the app that was posted.
Can't wait to run VTL once launcher widgets work.
Running rockplayer with no more HD playback issues so far (wish VLC would put out an app).
Ive noticed FF renders some pages a little smoother, is a big different from Loren or skyfire. But it takes a little longer to lad.

[Q] Force Closes, factory reset and other sundries ( I have 7 days left )

Let me start by saying, i'm running stock untouched, unrooted, i turned it on and installed apps from the market, version of Gt10.1. It is the 32Gb version and came with 3.1 on it.
I've had my Gt10.1 for almost a week now and I must say that I'm stunned at the frequency of FC errors from various apps. I mean even my "Samsung Account" force closes after each restart.
Anyone else noticed that the screen isn't calibrated correctly. Seems I have to touch to the right of what I intend to select. This is particularly noticeable when selecting text in the browser or in text editors such as this app.
Should I reset to factory?
A lot of apps that work just find on my Epic4G are unstable or not available ... like where is facebook???? And how come nearly every game is either buggy or not available... EA games are just unsupported?
Is there a place anywhere that filters the marketplace by supported os version ? I.e. what is proven to work on HC 3.1

Facebook has been pulled from the tablet market for a while.
The samsung force close is on every tablet I think after reboot
I'd try resetting and see if that helps with the force closes and the screen inaccuracy. Maybe try not loading every app you had before. If that doesn't work, take it back to where you bought it and see if you can get an exchange.
Yeah its disgracefull that samsung have released the tab with so many bugs. Im writing this now on my tab and the text cant even keep up with my typing...the whole gt 10.1 is an unpleasant experience, the amount of force closes is staggering and unaceptable. theres no filterin the market to show only tab apps, it gives off a high pitch noise after every selection from the speakers, theres no predictive text input, the video play back its utter crap,why dont the home buttons auto hide to give more screen space, reading books is awfull due to each page being out of focus for a split second before being displayed properly. Theres people with dust under the screen, oh and the batteru life is in my opinion well below stated. and last but definately not least yeah it does flash in websites but not 100% some sites work and some are awfull,,,,

I feel for u. I've resolved the laggy keyboard by sticking with either the Android keyboard or Thumb keyboard. Both perform excellently. My experience has been that hidden home buttons seem to be a per app behavior. Example. Kindle app does it beautifully. I also have not experienced the out of focus issue. The video / screen rendering is unparalleled. Ive only experienced poor battery stats when I'm streaming from a weak wifi connection.. like being tethered to my phone running 3g 3bars or less.

-There is a problem with the way the stock browser handles text selection in web fields, it's probably related to some of the JavaScript problems the browser has. Until it gets patched a workaround is to use the Opera web browser.
-There are a few lists that people have compiled of HC optimized apps and games: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032381
@richie_jones:
-Turn off audible selection under settings>sound
-The default Samsung keyboard has XT9 predictive text, but you have to go into settings to enable it first. There are also numerous alternative keyboards to use if you don't like that keyboard.
-Video playback is very good on the tab. But like every tablet on the market you should convert your video to mp4 first for optimum results, or use an alternate video player such as MoboPlayer, Rock Player, Vplayer etc. If you don't know how to covert video files then check this thread for some simple instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060825

Yeah I believe the samsung force close is caused by an authentication issue on the samsung account. I looked in log with aLogCat after a force close (they always come at boot and always twice) and there was an exception logged from the samsung account app.
This happens when connected to a wifi network and also when not connected. Whatever causes it to bw unable to authenticate, the Samsung Account app certainly doesnt handle that condition well.
And finally, you think Samsung would have caught this one....
I took my Tab 10.1 back and got a Tab 7" instead. Honeycomb has a long way to go really, and all the issues the OP had I can attest to. Hardware was nice, slim and tight but given the software issues I couldn't justify the $500 tag when a 7" tab was going for $200 brand new. Very happy with my decision.

I reset to default and everything works perfectly now... the text SLOWNESS is limited to the default browser app.. I use either Opera or Dolphin now.

So you have no lag on the home screens when scrolling from one to the other, you have no typing lag on google browser. I don't think so....
Smooth it definitely is not"..."
no lag with he screens. Keyboard lag yes. Otherwise its running nice. It is a leaked tw rom that has been modified. I expect a custom rom based on the official release in a couple days.

You can change the timing on updates. Mine was defaulted to only update when charging when I installed, and to only check every 6 hours.
So far, I think currents blows pulse away. Time will tell.
I never used the Andriod version of Pulse... didn't to pay for it.
I thought the iPad version allowed you to add your own RSS feeds...
Hopefully Google builds in the functionality to sync or import Reader feeds.

the ability to add feeds from Google Reader is already there (add, scroll down to "Google Reader") :S
what i find shocking (or loling) is that you can't mark items as read, just like on Pulse, which makes both apps nothing more than eye candy, or only useful for people who just want a cursory glance at what's happening in the world and aren't really concerned about content
In case you haven't noticed lately the average attention span for media users these days appears to be about half that of the common fruit fly, so eye candy is exactly what most apps are trying to achieve.

Overall I'm liking it better than Pulse. To me, Pulse is better at updating the feeds you add manually, that arent already there from their selection of content.
For me, these feeds in Google Currents, updating a bit slower regardless of how often I set it to update to.
For example, I read ProPublica. On Friday at 6 pm. I updated the ProPublica app, as well as add it to my Pulse and Currents feed.
The app showed 4 new articles posted on Friday. Pulse had all of these available , while Currents only had the first two articles of that day.
Later on that evening, when I checked again, Currents had all 4 posts from Friday
I am noticing that more as well, even when I manually check for updates. I still like the layout of currents better, but when I am bored with nothing to read, I still find myself going to pulse when my currents aren't updating.

ICS not worth it yet too many incompatible apps

I don't feel ICS is worth it yet. Too many incompatible apps that will not launch or start at all in ICS or crashes.
I have not yet found a single app that I use that doesn't function.
I've heard something about Instagram that doesn't work on our ICS Sense 3.6 leak, but I don't use that.
And I haven't seen anyone else making posts like this, so the issue lies with your own device I believe.
Try doing a superwipe and then a fresh install, and not reinstalling apps through various backup apps (Like Titanium Backup, MyBackup, etc) as that can sometimes cause issues like the ones you're describing.

There are "incompatible" apps that won't download (app makers fault for not updating) but will still run on ICS with no issues. At Bat 12 paid app will not download because it says it is incompatible, but I restored from my Titanium Backup from my GB ROM and it runs just fine.

Every one of my apps works perfectly fine on ICS, except for iHeartRadio. It starts up and runs fine, but it likes to just close out every once in a while, either while I'm listening to it or when I have it paused for a while.
Hulu Plus is my only issue.
When I flashed 4.0.3, I did so with CF root 5.3. This caused me tons of issues with apps (12 vanished and would not let me reinstall). After flashing CF root 5.4, the problem went away. So, probably most issues are related to how you root the device (if you did so).
Like I said in my previous post, only Flext9 crashes/freezes and can't be used. Too bad because someone recommended this keyboard to me and I wanted to test it.

Maybe he's talking about apps that come with carrier ROMs. Or ROM specific system apps. This is just a troll.

Actually, I can't get gameboid to run properly on any ICS rom if someone else wants to try it out. I was playing a link to the past and it just keeps exiting out completely, no FC notice or anything.

3DV Player (The only alternative 3D Player)
Games by gameloft the videos will not play like Asphalt 6
HTW Weather Wallpaper would randomly crash
Volume+ crash
FlexT9 (awesome keyboard with swype, voice, and normal typing in one) crash
As well as some other applications that would just randomly crash at times. I tried several ROMS and all had these issues with the games, 3DV Player, FlexT9, Volume+.
CleanROM
MeanROM
Nocturnal
Booster Shot
And I'm not trolling I have been restoring my ROM back to a standard ROM and restoring my Apps so have not been available to respond in a timely manner.

Fair enough, and youre sure that this never happened on GB Roms?
Nope I reinstalled CleanROM Reborn 1.1 and no more crashes.
