[Q] Gameboid won't start. - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I setup the bios and everything. I click on the rom and it stays on the same screen and on the notifications bar just says gameboid is running. And thats it. Anyway to get it working.

Load the gameboid lite directly from market. "Other" copies that can be found seem to act exactly like you describe.

Could just be a bad rom, I've had this happen to me a few times.
either re-download the rom
or
Download it from a different source.

List of *Non-working* Sideloaded Apps

Let this be the list of software that needs some loving...
General Issues -- We need the statusbar to stay on screen at all times so that we have access to the menu and back buttons, or make the nook button a toggle for the status bar!!
Not Working:
Skype
Reckless Racing
NFS Shift
New Room
ebuddy
I have some apps that stopped working... (ASTRO, Dolphin HD, YouTube, ADW Launcher) and want to wipe and start over. Is there a way to do a wipe back to factory? Will it erase sideloaded books etc?
Cheers,
Rich
I have tried the following that haven't worked:
Skype (loads but you cant do anything once in the app)
Reckless Racing (Loads to title screen and crashes)
NFS Shift (One version crashes at title scene, other loads but with no textures)
NewRoom (Loads, but the button to add new sites doesn't work)
I think this thread will be better and much shorter than the "Working Apps" thread because MOST apps seem to work fine.
Anyway.
eBuddy doesn't even install for some reason.
Citrix Receiver connects and shows the hosted applications, but does not allow you to access any of them. Multiple versions were tried, including the latest 2.0.
Kayak
TripIt
OpenTable
XDA App
Lets Golf
UnblockMe Free

Not sure why they wouldn't see your SD card. I installed both of those with no problems.
Slingplayer - older version does not work but the current version from the market works fine. The lack of menu keys makes it a bit of a pain but if plays fine.
Roadsync gets in a loop for registration and wont even launch the program (current version from the market)
Touchdown (current version from Market) runs but will not sync with my exchange server 2003.
I can't get ADWLauncher to run. LauncherPro works fine. Also, ASTRO and K9 won't start. Anyone having problems with these apps? I had them running last night, but started experimenting and somehow they got broken. Is there a log file that I can check?
Cheers,
Rich
Sketch Online won't work for me. Is appears to start but then just closes with no error.
Raging Thunder 2 fail to download game data.
Chromemarks
3d pool
Both of these crash

Beejive - times out
Grave Defense - screen issues

Same here...
I think this is hilarious. Nook Software will not run on the nook.
I can't get Grooveshark to run either... It launches, but as soon as you enter login information it crashes and doesn't open anymore.

Apps not showing on the app page

On my Archos 101 both Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons do not appear on the Apps page. They are there. If I search they come up and can be launched. If I uninstall they show up until I switch of my 101 and switch on again - then they are gone again.
Any thoughts?

Need more information. What firmware are you running? Are you using any kind of root hack? What about your UI, are you using the stock one or something like Zeam?

Ah, sorry. Im running the latest firmware from Archos. OEM loader and no root hack. I did have zeam but uninstalled it.
here's a complete list of the apps Im running at the moment
My Apps List
Well, off the top of my head, I would guess that you have them installed on your SD card. If this is the case, it might appear like they are not showing up and you have to give it a minute to do a media scan and update your system. Also, if you haven't done it this way, install them from the AppsLib market instead of AppBrain or the regular market. Although I doubt there is any difference, who knows...
I mean you are not running anything too crazy that might be a source of issue, so I can only think of the way the system caches info as being a culprit.

Thanks. I don't have an external SD card at the moment as my device is shiney new so I havent used up internal yet.
I'll give your suggestion a try. I was wondering if it could be related to AppBrain. Here's my thought. When I go to the regular market and click my apps there are no updates showing. When I sync with AppBrain it shows a few things need updating. Can AppBrain and the Market conflict.
Its weird all round
hmmm
Yeah exactly the same thing happened to me just now before I even hit xda I thought it was a mistake then I saw this post... Glitchy new firmware could be related to the icons disappearing from the original 2.0.71 firmware bug possibly hmm yupper definetly a glitch Angry Birds disappered again, so lets drop some stats I have firmware 2.1.03 with Archangel installed. Hardware Archos 70H also did a reinstall after I bumped it to 2.1.02 but not after I upgraded to 2.1.03

[Q] Nook + Honeycomb + Angry Birds = Frustration

So I see all these video posts about a Nook Color running Honeycomb and playing Angry Birds. How are they running Angry Birds?
I can install them off the market place but then I just get an force close error.
I have tried installing through ADB and also installing them to system/app...
HELP! Is there a way to run Angry Birds... Frustrated Angry pig...
it's probably a DSP issue
My HC was previously unable to see AB on the NC because Google wouldn't assign it an Android Market ID for the device. Here's one way to fix it. I know it works because I used it. There may better, quicker, easier, etc ways but whatever.
From a fresh HoneyComb v4 install...
NOTE: I run it off a Class 4 16GB Sandisk SD, speed is good. However, that shouldn't matter.
1) Install the Market but don't link it to your Google account yet.
2) Download the APK from the link below, install it, run it, emulate T-Mobile.
http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess
3) Once emulation is successful, run the Market. Go through the Google account setup wizard. Accept the terms when/if prompted. You're done.
If you'd prefer to not redo your HC install, perhaps merely clearing the cache data in the Google Services Framework / Market apps under Settings -> Applications might work. I've not tried it this way. After doing this, begin at step 2 above.
Regardless, I have Angry Birds (and "Seasons) running on HC and CM7. It does work well. No issues.

Honeycomb is automatically installing it to the SD card. Go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications and move it back to the phone. BOOM, piggy killin time.
That worked perfectly... Thank you so much... I can no have some bacon... LoL

i have this problem im unable to install angry birds. I have honeycomb v4 installed on emmc. When i try to install it from the market i can download it but it never installs
I was able to start the game by moving it to the device drive, but it locks up 2-3 minutes into the game, any ideas what might be triggering the lockup or how I might go about diagnosing the issue?
Update: looks like the nook isn't the only platform with an angry birds freeze. Per Android @ MoCaDo it appears that zooming in slightly might help the issue.

[Q] Alcatel OT 909b and Play Store

I have an Alcatel OT 909b through US Cellular. It is rooted, with the stock 2.3.5 ROM and recovery. It is unactivated and on wifi (it's my wife's new phone, I'll activate as soon as I can get it running the way an android should). There are no ROMs or recoveries that I could find that were compatible with this phone.
The phone did not come with the play store/market on it. I have been attempting to put the play store on it, and I am to the point now where I can get as far as the install and accept buttons. Unfortunately, as soon as it tries to start downloading it jumps back to the home screen. It does not give an error at this point.
If I attempt to access the play store from the stock browser, an error comes up that my carrier does not allow the play store. My other browser just times out at the play store. Other pages work fine. I have tried freezing all the carrier installed apps, and there are no entries in the host file other than localhost. I dropped a proxy app on there, and cleared the proxy. I don't know how to check that manually.
I'm assuming the problems are related. I'm kinda bummed they'd even send an Android device with no play store, but I have it now and I'd like to get it running properly. Can anyone point me in the direction where I might find this block?
Thanks!
Rom/ recovery

[Q] Acer W700 Google Play Store No Connection

Hello Everyone, let me start by saying I have been doing so much reading on this webpage in the past 24 hours (and casually browsed before) and I just want to say thanks. The site is awesome and the users are even better.
I recently installed ia3 of Android on Intel on my Acer Iconia W700 tablet. The guide to install was fantastic. I've had some issues getting GApps installed but I finally got them working where I went thru the google setup and everything and logged into GMail able to see everything so I tried my luck with the play Store.
The App loads and says "No Connection, Retry" I have tried installing a new .apk a few times, I even tried some of the suggestions regarding the ETC file (editing is, deleting it and all sorts of reboots etc) I've tried deleting the apk entirely and reinstalling and I just can't quite seem to figure it out. I am even able to install play when I am in system/app and long press and click install and I notice the version of play updated. Still having the same no connection error when the store opens up.
I know it must at least have an internet connection because anything I start typing into the search box it offers suggestions based on what I am typing. Ex: when i type in "Chrome" it populates suggestions such as "Chrome, chromecast, chromecast app, chrome browser, etc."
There has got to be something I am either doing wrong, or can try a different way. Thank you in advance for any help, and I'll make sure to click some thanks buttons along the way.
-Robert
