My first post here...
Anyway, I appreciate all the hardwork the devs are doing to make the G-Tab... awesome...
Well, I recently loaded the VeganTab GingerEdition RC1 - from VeganTab v.5.1.1, and I have a couple of issues. I looked around to see if anyone had similar problems... or even better yet, solutions but I did not find any yet.
So my problems are related to GPS apps. Specifically, my first issue is on the Google Nav app that keep dissapearing repeatedly when I reboot. I first noticed that the NAV app icon was switched to null (blank android) - icon right after my initial reboot after the ROM install. I did a search and found that I needed to uninstall Google Maps to get the NAV app back. So I did as instructed and I got the NAV app back and it was fully functioning... until I rebooted. It dissapeared again and I am left with an empty android icon where the NAV app used to sit on my desktop. App manager does not even list it on the installed app list, until I uninstall Google Maps app and reinstall... I am not sure what is causing this but it's very annoying.
My second problem is also releated to a GPS app. I used to run CoPliot app without any issues on the VeganTab v5.1.1. But now I get a GPS error stating "Unable to register for GPS updates" and the app quits. It stays in memory though and I have to use task manager to kill it.
Any ideas? I logged these two issues on the VeganTab bug tracker. I am hoping some of you guys might have few ideas about the issues I am experiencing.
These are more annoyances than anything... but I am thinking about maybe going back to v5.1.1. until the waters settle. What is the best way to downgrade? Do I need to take the tablet back to stock ROM before I reflash the v.5.1.1? Can I just load that ROM on top of the GingerEdition with cache wipe and etc.?
Thanks.

Running DJ-steve's 1.6.1 rom and I am finding it to be pretty smooth. Just don't attempt to restore apps or system data with titanium backup...I just restored apps and all the apps force close until you uninstall and reinstall.
My question is this.... When I go into the navigation (Blue triangle) app it tells me searching for GPS signal or searching for positioning ability or something like that and it just sits there searching... the GPS symbol comes on in the status bar from time to time and that is it... Anyone else having an issue regarding capturing a GPS lock in navigation? (before you ask, I did not restore the navigation app using titanium or any other program... im using the one that came with DJ_steve's 1.6.1 rom) Thanks.
**UPDATE** A full wipe and re-install did the strick
Hello everyone.
The Google plus is great. I installed the native app on my NC running n118+300611 OC kernel.
It partially works. Whenever i click the icons at the upper right (make a post/upload photos), the app force close.
Already tried fixing permission but it didn't help/
I wonder if you guys experience the same problem?
is there a workaround to fix this?
I am experiencing the same issue. Nightly 116, OCd 1.3ghz.
Same issue here on 7.1RC1 w/ stock kernel. Report to Google.
Same here, CM7.1 RC1 with latest Dalingrin OC kernel
logcat to the rescue... It's trying to grab location, which crashes a lot of apps the same way.
Workaround.. Tether GPS Lite or some other things. Sucks though.
Google Maps never crashes, but some other random apps do.
This is the same issue that WeatherBug has when it tries to find your location. We probably need some sort of a connection between the WiFi location and the GPS to spoof the GPS with the WiFi location and then stop crashing apps

Soo, like, Tether GPS Lite, or some other apps like Fake GPS, even Bluetooth GPS Provider without a BT GPS nearby works I believe. Anything that pretends to be a GPS.
IMO these apps are buggy. You can't crash Google Maps the same way, nor a few other apps, but lots of (buggy) apps will. I suspect there's some sort of API call to see if there's hardware GPS data before trying to initialize it in the case of Google Maps or other apps which don't crash.
FIX-io! Fake GPS Lite, done. Working. Nice - thanks all!
Yeah I'm thinking Google needs to put out an update for g+. I don't want to have to open another program all the time just to do a quick post. If Maps doesn't crash then g+ shouldn't either.
I'm running CM7 7.0.3 and to get Google + to not FC all I did was enable my GPS and enabled TetherGPS.
late,
Coz
Just tried your method. Worked for me too.
What about doing something like setting up Tasker, Locale, etc to start GPS Tether any time Wi-Fi is on? I figure this would work pretty well, no? Yes, it's a workaround, but a necessary one due to platform limitations.
I also was having FC issues with the app and CM7. I have since gone back to stock 1.2 MN for the moment and the google+ app is working appropriately without any work arounds. It is interesting that a work around is required in CM7 but not with rooted stock 1.2. Why would an AOSP build bork the app?
I am on Faux's latest kernet for AT&T & Ninja SF.
Everything seemingly works ok in maps (GPS however seems to not be able to lock) until I click on navigation where I then get "Maps (process com.google.android.apps.maps) has stopped unexpectedly".
Tried uninstalling maps through TiBu, have also fixed permissions in Rom Manager without results. Any clue?
Bumping this up, need the damn navigation in a couple of days .. :-(

Did you ever get a fix for this?
Having the same issue...
have you guys tried the 'default' fix
i.e. tibu/nandroid backup as a precaution, then do full wipe and re-flash of your ROM, restore only missing apps off tibu (i.e. so you're left with out of the box maps and navigation). And by full wipe I mean moto-fastboot -w, not just the cache/dalvik cache.
You can also try and see if your GPS actually functions at all by using apps like gps status. Could narrow it down to GPS specific issue or google maps app wigging out
Anyone else run into this? I've noticed with both the XDA app and NBA Jam, if I have run them recently and go to reboot, the apps disappear once I'm up and running again. Shortcuts still exist but trying to launch the program I get a message that the app isn't installed. Re-downloading and installing fixes it, no user data is lost.
When rebooting I get a dialog like the attached image shows. Stock, not rooted, running Apex launcher. Never ran into this with my OG EVO. Any suggestions?
No Suggestions. Same problem. I'm rooted and have TB backups of everything so I just search "uninstalled" and restore but it's a real pain.
Hi,
I have stock ICS CDMA RAZR, rooted, and I am trying to figure out 3.5 services.
What are:
1. ModemStatsService
2. Motorola Input
3. Homescreen -- I am just using the stock homescreen, and never saw a separate process in the past unless using a launcher.
3.5 Maps is always running, probably due to google location services, but often even when I haven't used a map or any apps there seems to be two instances of maps running -- it appears twice in the running services list.
and, yes, I googled this first unsuccessfully.
Thanks.
Where are you seeing these services? I want to know so I can see if they're running in my ROM, or if they should be running
The first sounds like it's the Modem Updater
The second sounds like MotoBlur
The third sounds like it could be either the actual homescreen or the app drawer
The fourth sounds like you have "Maps" and "Navigation" running, with both masquing as "Maps" for some reason.. Maybe?

first one is about connection, i think it's something that help battery statistics
2 probably keyboard, os something related an input (something about touchscreen)
3 in gb there was no separate process, and you couldn't change home without helping software (home manager) now is a normal launcher, you can change it without problems, so i think they made an indipendent process
maps depends, many apps use maps sdk to work (for example almost anything uses position, fuel apps etc) it's called as a service for this reason, geolocalization also needs maps if i don't get wrong...
these are in "running services" with ICS, stock. they come up on boot, and the two maps seem to come up after awhile even if I don't initiate any apps.
If anyone knows whether I can freeze the modemstats or Motorola Input, I'd appreciate it. I find that the fewer things 'running' on boot that I have no immediate need for, the longer my battery lasts.
thanks for your ideas.
