Is it possible to makean exception for some apps to not be killed ever in Android. The reason why I ask is because the stock browser cannot download all file types. Specially files from filesharing websites,such as uploaded.to, filesonic and a lot of other ones. That's extremely important to me. The only browser which handles these files properly is Opera. Downloads in Opera are managed with the browser environment unlike the stock browser which continues downloads in the OS even after the browser is terminated. Opera doesn't stay alive for too long tthough. So for downloading huge files I have to leave it open the whole time while the download completes. If I switch apps Opera gets terminated after some time and there goes my download. Can I somehow set an exception for this app?
Second question: Can someone tell me why cut the rope doesn't work on the the Tab. Both stock honeycomb and touchwiz are unable to run the game. It FCs as soon as I tap on it.that's the only game I play lol
When i upload video to YouTube and exit that tab, i can no longer get back to it later. I think this also happens with other uploads. The only way is to upload something again. So far i can only see "Downloads" in Android menu.
Recently updated to Ineffabilis Deus and have some annoying bugs with the different reddit apps I've tried. Not sure if this is an ICS problem or an Ineffabilis problem.
50% of imgur links display for a split second and then go to blank screen. If I zoom in, the picture comes back.
All youtube links open in Chrome rather than the youtube app. I tried clearing defaults for Chrome. I also tried the "App associations" menu in settings, but I don't see the youtube app as an option for anything in there. I also used to have (on Gingerbread) an option to send youtube links to xbmc, via xbmc remote app, but that's gone too.
Anyone know if this is an ICS thing or an issue with the ROM? I don't think it's a problem with the apps, since the same thing happens on both reddit apps I've tried and I don't see anyone complaining about it in the comments for those apps.
Any other redditors on ICS had problems (or solutions)?
On ICS with exact same ROM and issues using baconreader here.
Will troubleshoot.
Mine shows some, while others do as you explained. I am stock rooted 3.14.

Youtube links won't play in YouTube on Ics or sense 3.6 I don't know which controls what. Something to do with an Apple patent lawsuit if I'm not mistaken
To allow yourself to be able to select apps to launch instead of launching chrome or the default browser automatically, you must uninstall "htclinkifydispatcher" using titanium backup or something similar. This stops the phone from automatically choosing default apps and will let you choose from whatever browsers you have installed (or youtube, if you are trying to watch a video) instead. So far the only issue I've found with eliminating this app is that whenever I try to launch a link sent to me in gtalk, gtalk force closes. Otherwise I am given the freedom of choice of which app to launch when browsing reddit. If you don't care too much about a partially malfunctioning google talk, uninstall htclinkifydispatcher. Back it up first (just in case other apps start malfunctioning, for me only google talk is affected, but it may vary for others) and then uninstall. Freezing it will not work.
Hope this helps

Issue with all direct link static images in baconreader. Animated GIFs or where it renders the website too are fine. Also only has an issue on first load, have to zoom or back out and reselect link to make image reappear. Once cached, the image renders fine on a re-read.
Yet to find any combo of Developer options, Display, or stock browser settings (assuming baconreader may render links with stock browser settings) to address that particular problem...
Edit: Recommend deselecting "Open links in app" in baconreader and in other apps if available, if that issue cannot be resolved. Feedback from other ROM users appreciated. May ask the developer about bug.
Edit 2: Stock browser settings have no influence on the issue, app renders direct link images independently.

Yeah I use google talk a lot but not nearly as often as I browse reddit. It's so frustrating trying to watch a YouTube video in chrome instead of the designated app. I think this problem (feature?) alone makes me want aosp more than anything else about sense on ics. Give me freedom to choose my apps!
I found this problem with baconreader and reddit is golden. It's annoying but but I just double tap the imgur and it shows (zooming).
I have Nexus7 with stock JB system and I often use it to review files with code hosted on https github pages. The issue I ran into with all browsers I've tried is that when the page is loaded, it remains in browser tab for sometime but eventually (maybe in a few hours), the browser "helpfully" tries to reload the page and if I'm online, it shows the error. I couldn't find a way to get the page to show again.
I'm not exactly sure if this behaviour is somehow related to github.com, or maybe to pages being https.
The only workaround I found is to use 'save pages' feature in Opera Mini, but it's awkward and takes 3 taps to save a page and deleting old saved pages is awkward, too, and I don't think there's a way to update the page to a newer version.
I've also tried some 'save pages for later' apps but they don't work with https pages.
All I really want is a very simple behaviour: load the page, keep showing it in offline mode and allow me to reload in online mode. Even better, it would be great if the browser could be set to load the page from cache when clicking on a link in offline mode.
Any help / hints appreciated!
Hello Gurus.
Does the Gallery app communicate (with Goole Photos maybe?) when you delete photos? I almost feel it is worth installing a network monitor /snoop to check this out.
My problem: My Galaxy S6 "lags" after deleting a photo. After a second or two, the gallery works fine again, but during this lag it feels like the gallery app freezes, i.e you can't swipe to another photo, bring up the options to delete another photo, etc. Some times it takes a moment before this "freeze" kicks in, so it is then possible to delete a second photo before it starts. But that makes the freeze double as long. As far as I can tell it is just the gallery app itself that freezes.
A replacement photo viewer/gallery app might be in order >:-/
Thank you
...bump ?
