[Q] Android version? - Themer General Discussion

How far back is Themer supported?
I attempted to install it on my Optimus U and it just force closes :/

As last time I checked, it was API 17.
And that's android 4.2.2.

Well that's not the case as I'm on stock 4.1.2 and I've used themer from day one
4.1 is the minimum at the moment but 4.0 is being worked on
All the best

This is apparently expected behavior at this point. If you have less running in the background, it won't happen. If you reboot, you should see it stop until you've got too much going on.
I have had good success messing with the performance settings and ultimately using the "V6 Supercharger" with this rom. The lock screen is much more reliable for me now. Do a search for it in all forums and I'm sure you'll find the thread.
mount sd card issue
Hey guys, I installed the latest smoother bean and everything is flawless but my SD card does not mount. It is inside the tablet and in settings there is an option to mount the SD card, I press on it but nothing happens. Is this common?

Reboot with your sdcard in then check in file manager to see if it mounts properly.

Tasker - Your device isn't compatible with this version
I am getting the dreaded "Your Device Isn't Compatible with this version" error in Google Play for tasker on this ROM. I didn't have this issue with GHarmony ICS. The tasker developer says it is a ROM issue.
Anyone know of a quick fix?

I really liked Smooth Bean but I couldn't use it because a lot of games were incompatible with it. The games would load up fine but then freeze at certain screens. It was a different screen for every game, but it was always the same screen for that particular game. The few that come to mind are Cut the Rope HD, Slice It!, Jewel Star, and Open Sea.

I have been playing some hardcore games such as FL Commando, Dead Trigger, and with the latest audio fix was able to get Speedx 3D to run without any hiccups. I haven't heard of any issue with game play with latest addon's that are linked in the OP.

I am using the latest, just downloaded it today, barebones version. I just installed the GHarmony JB ROM and it had the same problem. I then went back to the GHarmony ICS I was using previously and tasker install was fine. I tried to take the build fingerprint out of the build.prop from HarmonyICS and apply it after installing Smoothbean and run market fix and still can't load tasker.
ro.build.fingerprint=asus/WW epad/EeePad.4.0.3/IML74K/WW epad-9.4.2.21-20120323:user/release-keys
It looks like the GHarmony ICS rom which works was 120dpi, and I am running 120dpi on smoothbean...
I may just have to load the ICS rom and try and backup the apk, reload jb and install...
Do others using this ROM have tasker installed? It may be that I am doing something wrong with the market fix, it seems like there are several versions of the instructions out there..

Okay, doing that helped with the games. However, some apps still don't work. For example, the weather app, Eye in Sky, shows up in the Play Store as incompatible with the device, so I tried to side-load it and it wouldn't install. It just says "app not installed." Should I change the build.prop?
Edit: I think my problem with Eye in Sky is the same as wuench's problem with Tasker.
You guys might want to think that it is the app and not the ROM. The same thing happened when ICS Started out with HBO GO for me. Not all apps have been converted to work on the Jellybean framework. They may seem almost the same at most points, but since I just ripped through a crap load of HTML files and smail files as well. They are quiet different. I am sorry that those particular apps will not work, but the best suggestion I can offer is contact the app developer. My current work is using a clone base of a Motorola Xoom which is widely supported in the Play Store Market. When it come available for compatibility then it will work, trust me.
Sent from the Darkside Via ME.
Yeah, I don't know what it could be. Eye in Sky works with Dirty Bean. It shows up in the Play Store and it can be side-loaded for that ROM. Oh well, it's not the only weather app. It has a nice UI, though.
Well, tasker will not install from the backup. I found the developers website and downloaded the apk directly, that install failed as well. I found a reference in their forum about needing the maps library installed, I was going to check the logs for errors but I can't find a log viewer application that works on Jelly Bean ATM. It sounds like some permissions were changed for log viewing and a lot of the apps need to be updated.
It seems like a really great ROM, these app issues are the only things I have noticed. I think you are right, these developers just haven't had time to support JB yet...

Ok, looks like Tasker installs ok on BlAcK_jElLyBeAn CM10 4.1.1. Maybe all it needs are GApps? Does anyone know where to get that as a package? I tried installing Google Maps on Smoothbean and that didn't help....
Like i stated in other reply. Framework res difference. Black Jellybean is a 4.1.1 vs. Smoother Bean is 4.1.2. Black Jellybean is using team DRH as a base that's why it works.

The apps work on my Motorola Xoom running stock 4.1.2.
Yes it does but you cannot run this framework.res from this device to another device. Each device has a different framework-res configuration. There is a lot of changes that need to be done and since I am still considered a novice dev. I am learning the different things to do with the ROM in order for it to work.

i777 Stock Music Player?

(Fairly) new S2 user here. Gotta say, coming from an Apple device, Android is leagues ahead.
I've got a particular question regarding the music player in Samsung's stock 2.3.6/4.0.4. Is it possible to use either of these with a Jelly bean ROM? I've tried installing them both at random times, and the phone will immediately state "App Not Installed." However, I've seen people do the same thing for other stock samsung apps that work just fine.
If it helps, I'm running Jellybam 3.3.0. Patiently waiting for their servers to come back from the dead so I can get 4.0.0
Thanks in advance!

Man, use the sony walkman that i think came with jellybam or install google play from store.
I was using that before buy poweramp that is the best player on last 12 months.
You can also try Xenoamp beta from xda. Search for it.
About sansung apps you do need to know 1 thing.
There are 2 kinds of Roms.
1- official sansung release base
2- aosp roms
Exclusive Apps from 1 wont work on 2.
Not a big deal cuz there is better options out there.

Check this thread - I installed this in my root folder and it works. The only thing iffy is the search function which if you select from the "suggested" items that pop up - crashes the app. But if you type it in and hit the search button (not the suggested) it works flawlessly.

Any other INC4G people checking out the Kit Kat goods?

Hangouts with sms is great along with the other updated apps, but damn I love the Google Experience launcher. Way less options than nova or apex, but the always-on hotword detection on homescreens is great. Just wondering if anyone else here is trying them out?

i think i installed 90% of them, so far so good. i cant wait for our phone to have it.
Apparently CM will continue to focus on 4.3 builds, so I don't expect a CM11 anytime soon. Knowing our luck with this device, we'll probably have issues with kit kat builds anyway. Still, the launcher and hangouts are pretty badass. It's just a shame there's no official support for icon packs with stock launchers. I have to use an xposed module to use my icon pack of choice on this new launcher and I sometimes feel like it slightly slows the device down.

I had most of the 4.4 .APKs (including the launcher and Google Now) installed on my cm10.2 build for the past day or so, but today I experienced the crash/bootloop scenario that's been plaguing the nightly builds lately; after a forced reboot, all the 4.4 apps were gone, and since I had frozen Trebuchet in TiBU, I was without a launcher and had to restore a NAND backup. Was I supposed to lock all the 4.4 apps into the system folder or something?

I don't know why they would disappear but you could have enabled trebuchet without restoring. You could have accessed the settings through quick settings, went to the apps section, found trebuchet and hit enable. Also, there's no reason to freeze it. Once you switch to a different launcher and reboot, none of your other installed launchers will run. Just for future reference.

Settings was even crashing upon opening; it was incredibly odd. As for the freezing, I and many others who installed the 4.4 launcher were experiencing the default launcher setting not sticking even after setting it to the 4.4 launcher; freezing Trebuchet (the only other one I had installed) fixed this. But that obviously didn't work out so well for me...

I browse /r/Android on reddit often, and people were going nuts posting links to all the apks. I'm sure they're all over the internet by now.
But yes, that's the launcher I'm running. It's so limited in features compared to others, but it really does everything I need. Some people don't seem to like the google now to the left of the main homescreen, but I'm digging it.
I'm really hoping for kit kat to make it's way to our device though. I saw there's a CM11 branch, but who knows what kind of code needs updating and/or compatibility issues.
Do you need to be rooted to do this I keep getting a parsing error
Sent from my ADR6410LVW using xda app-developers app
Checking it out myself, thanks to your thread, however after installing the apks I somehow seem to have broken the "okay Google" feature. Google search updated itself and all after installation but even if I choose search manually now it still won't respond to the command.
Your right tho, the launcher is simple but works well. The only thing I don't care for is the constant Google search box on the home screen especially when all you have to do is say the command and it goes straight there.

I've been using the nightly from 12-26 and it is 4.4.2 I have had no issues at all, and it seems to be running smooth. Battery is draining pretty well, but it does in any rom due to the lack of signal from my house. I'm at the office now, running wifi and it seems to be draining less.

Is there a specific app you're in when the screen goes black? When I first upgraded to 4.4, a few of the games I played would cause the screen to go black. I read that I had to delete the app and re-install or see if the app has been updated to 4.4. After I re-installed a couple of my games, the screen hasn't gone black again.
Good luck

[Q] Returning tablet back to stock?

hey guys I'm new to posting here but have found some very good information here over the years. My question today is I just purchased a nook tablet 8 gb for my child. The guy I bought it from says that it has been flashed over to liquidsmooth rom version 4.4. I'm not very familiar with liquid smooth or the nook tablet. I also am somewhat paranoid about using hardware that was rooted and flashed by someone that I don't know. My main questions are can this be flashed back to the original b&n rom? Does the current up to date factory rom for a nook tablet have access to google play services? I am under the impression nook devices have all been given access to google services since nook store is being phased out. Does the factory rom include decent parental control provisions? Or as an alternative, is there a better rom to use that include a good set of parental controls and also runs pretty smooth without a whole lot of fluff? It going to be used by a 9 yo to play disney game apps, hay day, and the occasional other child centered apps that she may be interested in.

I think you should be able to get a good degree of parental control with CyanogenMod CM10.2 or CM11 multi-user capabilities.
I think I was getting the nook tablet and nook HD confused when I made the purchase lol. I done some more reading and found out it's the nook HD and HD+ that have access to play store with stock ROM. I have used some of the older versions of CM on the HTC droid incredible I had several years ago, but haven't touched any custom Roms since. Had anyone used the liquidsmooth ROM on the nook tablet? If so, how did well did you like it?

Did you flash the 10-touch touch-screen FW while running custom ROM?
If so, you'll need to back to custom ROM and use the Touch FW Flasher app to revert it 2-touch (since stock ROM only works with 2-touch FW).

The "Touch FW Flasher" app is included in CM10.1/CM10.2 as well as CM11. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51377882&postcount=163 for info/pointers on how-to flash CM10.x. If you rather not install CM internally on emmc, you can just burn onto SD a pre-made CM10.2 SD-card image from http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013...id-4-3-for-nook-tablet-imgsdc-boot-09aug2013/ and run CM10.x and its apps (including the Touch FW Flasher app) off SD.
