I downloaded Age of Zombies from the Amazon App Store freebie list, and aside from refusing to run, it locks up my NC. I get a black screen and when I try to close it, it resets ADW Launcher and screws up my background. If I just let it run with the black screen, after about 30 seconds my NC reboots. BTW - I'm running Phiremod 6.3.
Anyone else get it to work, and if so... how?
I ran it with almost no issue on my Nook, CM7 Nightlies w/ OC kernel on SD.
The only issue I had was that it slightly over-scaled to full screen, cropping off some of the dialogue & menus; other than that, it ran fine.
I ended up uninstalling it though, not because of any technical issue, but because it got kind of boring after a bit.
Edit: I just thought to include that I'm also running Zeam as my launcher, seeing as AoZ conflicts with your ADW.
Are you running Chainfire 3D? I tried it with the driver on and off, and still no luck.

I haven't installed chainfire yet, so it's the default drivers.
I'm using CM7 nightlies, no-OC, Chainfire w/ nVidia plugin (not sure this is needed, it's just what I have enabled) and normal ADW launcher and it seems to be working fine. The initial startup seemed to have some issues, but after that it worked. The screen size does need some tweaking tho, probably need to re-enable the full screen in CM settings.
Good luck
Maybe a phiremod issue? But if memory serves (it should, I'm 11) phiremod is based of of CM7. Try a CM7 sd card to eliminate that variable.
I have been running this with no issues besides a little bit of cropping.
- CM7 Nightly 102
- Chainfire3d
- ADW Launcher
Try turning off compatibility mode. Or re-flash.
IT's basically Robotron updated. Fun.
I also have phiremod 6.3 and when i run it, my screen just stays black. When i exit my wallpaper is also just black but no FC's or reboots. After about a minute my live wallpaper was back
I initially had FC issues running cm126, oc kernel and adw. Fixed permissions and rebooted. Seems to be running fine now. Try fixing permissions in rom manager or recovery.

I have a buddy who recently rooted (1.0.1 autonooter) and has the paid version of ADW as his launcher. He's getting a lot of trouble when he tries to use different themes. His NC will freeze, reboot, and sometimes boot loop and he has to force it to power off, boot into recovery and reflash back and reroot to restore.
I can't imagine this is common or i'd see more info about it. Anyone else have these troubles?
I used it for awhile with no issues. I switched to LauncherPRO tho and used the fix to remove all the unworking shortcuts.

i rooted using autonooter 1.0.1 and rock ADW EX with the Minimalist theme and haven't had any issues. does this happen with all themes? has your friend made any other mods to his nook besides the root? has he tried LP or used LP themes? i'd be interested if LP gave him the same issues as ADW EX.
Running Blackhole 4.4 w/Black Alien 2.2 theme, got everything set the way I liked it with Launcher Pro Plus, then on battery pull with a SetCPU related lockup all my LP widgets are gone, as well as all launcher pro icons, and now it says I don't have an unlock key installed. Gone through and checked, uninstalled and re-downloaded unlocker, tried everything short of another flash. Anyone know what's causing this? Second time I've had it happen today, I'm rather tired of re-flashing and reorganizing everything at this point.
I had the same issue and asked LP. They replied with the following:
"You can solve this issue by using a root explorer and erasing /dbdata/databases/com.fede.launcher"
I did this and it worked. You will need to rekey the unlock code. This can be obtained by saying you forgot the code on the phone and they will send it to your email.

Launcher pro does have a few issues I use it and every other time when I reboot my phone I either have to task kill it or it force closes. Its the only launcher that does it but its the most complete launcher in my opinion. Although I wish someone would make a gingerbread standard launcher that's able to use custom homescreen iconS.
Hey guys,
New Market (3.2) from ICS has been leaked. I tried it on my Tab (Blazaar's 3.1 non-TW rom) and it force quits on me. Tried clearing data.
I installed it through ADB and made sure to change permissions after pushing it. No go.
Anyone have any luck? Not much seems to have changed aside from the icon but I like having the latest and greatest.
Not many ICS apps are gonna work on HC bro

3.2 works fine on my Tab and Nexus S; rename Vending.apk in system/app, drop in replacement market, rename, set permissions, however 3.2 is not optimized for the large screen, have a look for 3.1.5 for honeycomb which will give you the new market style for big screens, including portrait mode.
Go to System/app/
Rename vending.apk to vending.apk.old
Move this attached vending.apk to system/app
If necessary reset permissions to rw-r-r
Restart Tab and enjoy
Edit: anyone having luck with this one I have posted..it is made for the tablet. Supports both landscape and portrait
Hey guys,
Thanks for your replies. I did install through ADB and set permissions (chmod 644 which is rw-r-r) but it still doesn't work.
As far as not working on Honeycomb...the 3.2 works fine on Gingerbread, assumed it would work OK on Honeycomb (I know this doesn't mean anything - just figured I would try).
Which ROM are you guys using that it's working?
Also, as far as not being for tablet screens - don't think that's true. When I launched 3.2, it launched full-screen with the little menu in the upper right - a sure sign it is tablet optimized. Was it just not working for you in Portrait mode?
However, seconds after it launches and tries to load, is when I get the force close.

On 3.1.5 for honeycomb I have the menu plus My Apps in the top corner and a two column menu in the main part of the screen, 3.2 doesn't show My apps on the main screen and it is a single column on the main part of the screen.
3.1.5 Honeycomb vs 3.2.0 ICS markets on the Tab:
To be quite honest...I don't see how having different market versions really changes anything. Just get one that works and leave it at that. Every version is gonna have the same apps anyway..

True, although 3.1.5 offers a nice improvement in the form of portrait mode, a feature sorely missing from the original honeycomb market.
Just because an app is designed for ICS it doesn't mean that it is an improvement for Gingerbread/Honeycomb users.
Thanks was an accident btw

I only use my tab in landscape mode unless I'm on an app that doesnt support landscape. Market supports landscape, so thats where I am. So that update doesnt affect me personally at all. Others may like it though.
It's preference. To some people it doesn't matter - to some it does. So far the leaked ICS apps have been an improvement over the existing released versions.
For instance, the 4.0 Music app is an improvement to me over the 3.0 app. And the changes to Google+ in the ICS version are very nice and makes things better. Market, doesn't seem like much has changed except the icon but it DOES seem faster than the 3.1.5 or 3.1.6 versions out there now.
On my phone, Samsung Galaxy S II, these apps are working flawlessly. It's on my Tablet that they are force quitting.

a random question. anyone here encountered slow laggy scrolling through menu when using live wallpapers with go launcher ex? is there any solutions to rectified it? thanks for any help given.
I've just tried and no lag for me!
Maybe to many apps running. Is the lag still there just after a reboot?
When using LWP lag will be there. It's simple. Still you can use a still Custom image or the theme background in App drawer, which will reduce the lag a bit.
Lag
Hi,
for me it works ok - but try to kill some background Process.
I do this sometimes and it speeds up the phone ...
You can use the GO Taskwidget or any other Program.
The reason I came back to TW
as TW uses GPU to make it super smooth, live wallpapers works perfectly.
with Go, it runs fine whilst nothing else is running in the background, but once you get a few apps open the lag starts to show, best have a static wallpaper when using GO.
thanks for all the help given. yes vegaznc. it does still lag a bit when i reboot the phone. i downloaded the go taskwidget as suggest by NobbyLk and it does slightly improve the smoothness but not as smooth as the original TW launcher. i will try out different method and see how it goes.
So, I have narrowed down my own lag issues to being caused by the samsung widgets. I been really annoyed with this phone and the redraws/home screen lag. Now, I have wiped, and _never_ added a samsung widget to the TW launcher, and my device is running very smoothly, with 3 home pages populated.
I came to this conclusion when I tried ADW. ADW was running well, slightly sluttery, until I added the samsung power widget. ADW was completely crippled, which makes me beleive drawing that widget takes a lot of processing. I then tried the myagenda widget with the same results. So, now, as a rule for myself, I am not running any widget that came stock on the phone.
i dont have the lag ither but i use a diff homescreen widget.
I have used launcher pro for my phones before but stayed with touch wiz on this one. I removed the stock clock and weather Alps and installed beautiful wigets and the screens are a bit snappier.

not sure i'm comfortable removing all these yet since Clockworkmod is still beta and having issues (means no nandroid backup).
I also run ADW - You should definitely run the V6 Supercharger script version 9.3.6 on setting 9 ( ends with 250,300) and i saw a big difference... also using setCPU performance setting gives me great results. still about a 10% lag i notice.... i've been bugging the devs of golauncher to optimize galaxy note and they been working with me so don't worry.... we will have our cake and eat it too, very soon!

I should have been more specific. You don't need to remove them from the phone, just remove them from your home screen.
