Got a gtab few days ago and installed vegan ginger. Mostly good and working, but a few minor issues:
1. Everytime i reboot the tab wifi is off even if on when shutdown. Each time i turn on i must manually turn on wifi.
2. Dolphin hd browser crashes a bit often, but each time it happens i do not get force close message or application killed message, i get no message. It just disappears and when i relaunch none of the tabs i had open are there, so its defintly auto closing for some reason.
3. Even with market fix i am missing some popular market apps. So far i have seen i cannot find official ebay or amazon app, and clicking links for those from app brain, when it trys to take me to market for the app it says cannot find it.
Also nowinstock product links in browser say page cannot be displayed, but on my home windows 7 pc the links work fine.
If it's a fresh install, you might have to nvflash it and start over.
I don't have any of your problems on my Ginger yet.
also dd you do a factory reset after installing? i forgot to do it on mine and it was hung on boot up for a while. then it hit me and after everything was working great.
I did both wipe data and wipe cache after loading the rom, is there another step for factory reset?
Hi - So I have this issue where opening google maps crashes back to desktop. The interface opens, the place where the map is stays blank, and boom, crash to desktop. Of course this means navigation, places also do not work as intended. Ironically other mapping apps including locus (which uses the google maps api) work just fine.
Now, I tried:
- Deinstalling via titanium backup and reinstalling from market
- Factory reset THEN reinstall the whole rom (cognition)
Still not working. Looks to me like another app conflicts with it. I have 205 user apps. I'm not going to be able to take one out a time and test.
I tried reading from the catlog via system tuner. Unfortunately all it says in there is that maps crashed (oh really?? ) and not much else.
I guess my questions is, where can I find logfiles, or anything else that would help me discover which application is crashing my map tool.
I've found a couple pages on this throughout the forum but nothing definitive to fix this. A couple people responded on my reddit thread saying they also have this issue but could not be fixed. I really hope someone has an answer for me because it is extremely annoying
When clicking certain links, the complete action using (application) dialog shows up even when *always* is clicked.
Per the advice on other threads, I have tried: 1)Clearing defaults 2)clearing cache on the apps I think are the culprit 3)uninstalled apps I thought was the culprit 4)going to application manager and resetting app preferences (this brought back all the apps I froze but did not fix the problem)
Under the launch by default I can see that the default apps I chose are there so the system is receiving my request but is not executing it. This only happens with certain launch types, as Nova launcher is launched probably when I press home button, phone calls are dialed with my preferred dialer, but links that require a browser, apk links (play store etc) and youtube links will always ask
I think I have done everything short of just reinstalling my phone which I don't want to do. For reference I have a Note 3 / 4.4.2 / Stock fimware / rooted.
I am running some XPosed frameworks, the only one that might conflict is CompleteActionPlus but I have tried uninstalling it already and no change.
This didn't use to be a problem but I can't pinpoint exactly when it happened. Another app I thought might be the culprit was Link Bubble but uninstalling that didn't help either.
Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.
Anybody with any ideas?
Hi
I have a big problem with slightly lesser known web browsers on Kitkat. If I set browsers to automatically clear data (history, cookies etc.) at exit they can't actually clear it. No error message or anything displays but they just can't do it.
I've tested this on both 4.4.2 & the recent 4.4.4 but the issue is present. So, please help me.
Steps to reproduce --
1. Use browsers such as Next Browser, Lightning, Naked, Lucid etc. and set them to clear all data on exit.
2. Surf some site where you can see your history without logging in (e.g. in Google homepage if you search for something & then go again at the search box your recent searches will be there).
3. Exit browser normally i.e. not by swiping out from recent apps.
4. Now, when you again go to the sites you visited on step 2 you will notice your history with them is kept. This data shouldn't be kept if the browsers clear all data on exit was actually working, right?

i think this is just the odd way android works (at its weirdest)
when you hit the back button and there is no more fallback processes to go to, like any app it would just minimize. its not neccisarily a bug but just weird design within android..
data should be wiped when asked to close (aka via recents or anything else like such, or even using a exit option within the browser)
I think its maybe a KK bug because in ICS and Jellybean this works. Why would developers give such an option in their products if this feature doesn't actually work? This issue is present in my friend's non-sony kitkat phone too. Google changed so much in KK, you know! No flash support, no text wrap etc.
Also, in stock Firefox v33 or later this clearing data at exit works 99% of time. Chrome too won't remember data if incognito mode is selected. So, what's going on? Is there no way to solve this problem cause I really wanted to use those browsers especially Lucid browser. Firefox, Chrome are so bloated!!
@XAoler you seem slightly confused, the browsers are set to clear data when the app is closed, you aren't closing the app, as @Envious_Data says your just opening a new window. If you want the data clearing you must manually kill the app.

No, no I am closing the apps from the exit option available in their menus. If the menu option is exit and I select that the apps should close, no? Also, I actually used force stop option as well from system settings. The data will stay even when doing this.
I don't think @Envious_Data said that I am opening a new window. He said its the way android works.
i did mention its the way android works
you have to kill the app for it to be concidered closed. pressing the back button doesnt always work even on aosp, cm11 or anything alike
Uh....none of you seem to really read my post. I am not exiting them using the back button. I exit the apps using the exit button from their menu. So, tell me is it not the correct way to close them???
Also, I used force stop option in android system settings\apps. Data will stay even when using this method. What do you mean by manually killing the app!! How else do you manually kill the apps?
Sorry, if you are killing the app using the exit function provided then yes the app should be clearing data if set to do that, to me it sounds like an app issue rather than the OS. Is the browser still present in recent apps after exiting this way? (should be without a preview) If so that suggests it's incorrectly closing down.
Actually I used 4 different browsers and all of them have this problem. So, clearly this is a OS problem. But I have now switched back to firefox. Mods can close this thread. This was of no use.
Hi all,
I have a problem: sometimes (not always) when I open whatsapp it opens and then it freezes and I can't type anything until I close and re-open the app or switch off and back on the screen.
This happens both with stock and custom roms and with stable and beta versions of whatsapp.
Can someone help me?
I also have this problem
Try clearing app cache & data through app management... and reopen whatsapp. Hope this will fix your problem..
your database might be getting too big as well. delete old videos.
just installed whatsapp on a fresh rom, no previous videos in my phone, everything clean
try a different keyboard?
Are you fiddling around with it? For example, installing themes or tweaking WhatsApp?
