[Q] CM9 and Gameboid not playing nice, is it just me? - Epic 4G General

I just recently started using CM9 for my epic 4g, but since i flashed it and re-installed gameboid, no matter what i do it does not want to work. ive searched the forums and tried several proposed fixes. ive reflashed the rom, tried a different kernel, uninstalled and re-installed gameboid, tried a different bios for it, and even checked to see if i had "force gpu rendering" activated, since apparently that can cause it not to work. not one of these attempts were successful. anybody got any other ideas what it could be? i thought maybe that emulator isnt compatible with ICS, but ive read about other users on this forum not having any problems with it.

I was having problems also, but since I upgraded to version 2.4.7, it's been working fine for me in CM9.
What is it doing? Does it exit back to the emulator screen when you launch a game? That's what it was doing for me.
Edit: Wow! Guess I've never posted here before. And this account was created in 2007??? I've got to be in the running for some kind of lurker award!

yea, thats what it was doing. and upgrading fixed it for me too. i was sure i was running the most recent version, but your post compelled me to check, and sure enough, the 2 versions i had downloaded were 1.7.something and 3.0.something(weird). guess i just overthought this one, haha.
this will teach me to download apks from the directly from the source whenever possible.

Android Market download problem
Same here.
It show "Starting download", but never actually gets going.
It just hangs there.
I had this problem for the last few days.
I did several fresh reinstalls with no luck.
THEN... just a few minutes ago I successfully started downloading again!
Try it and see if it now works for you as well.
Good luck!
I am now able to download from the market. Problem was apparently on their end.

Skype does't work strangely, any ideas??

Hi everyone
I am using blazan 2.2.2 of tiad8s. Everything is ok with the build. It is very stable. But i have a problem with skype. I couldn't find it on market so installed using an apk file. After i enter my user name&pass it says "signing in" for a while and wants me to enter my user id&pass again without any warning like "connection error, password error etc."
What can the problem be? Any ideas?
It seems to be something about the kernel.
It is working on the FRX6

First, if you're having a problem that occurs when using a certain build, you should probably post about your problem in the thread or on the site where you got that build.
But as far as Skype goes, and because you said you used an older apk file, there were a lot of problems with skype for android which they just fixed, like a week ago, so yeah, your older apk won't work.

I haven't tried skype on another android build on my phone so don't know yet if it works with any other android build or not. Maybe any other builds are having the same problem, this is the first reason why i started a new thread. As i said in my first post, i use tiad8's blazn 2.2 build which is really the fastest and the most useful one with every function working. I also asked about the same problem on tiad's website. But xda is more helpful about such problems so i am also seeking for answer to my problem here This is the second
I tried lots of skype builds,most of which still work on my brother's zte android phone. they are old versions or not, but they still work! But on my blackstone they don't. Only skype lite could sign in on my phone but as you know it is so unfunctioned

[Q] Why I have missing featured apps ???

I need your help guys and devs for one problem. I had to downgrade from wildhero (2.3.3 sense) to 2.1 cuz I needed more stable rom for a few days. I choosed one and flashed it, but the market didn't show most of the featured apps, like Skype, My Tracks, Google Sky Map, Xda devs, Tapatalk and many more. I used Search and it's the same - they're not in the results.I thought its location problem but it isn, cuz after a lot flashing different roms I haven't any problems till now. Tried 3 different 2.1 sense roms - its the same - same missing apps. Now when I flashed back this wildhero 2.3.3 sense rom (ver1.2.1) everything is fine , like it should be. I think its 2.3.3 Sense problem , somehow it restricts old android`s version market.. its wired... could you help me somehow ?? please its important to know !!
It is probably due to the fact that those apps need a newer API so it restricts you from downloading it to your phone with an older firmware.
BTW, you said you use Skype? Do you start getting it getting choppy after 30 seconds? I am trying to use it with Fusion (offshoot of Froyo) on my HTC Hero and am finding that happening. What OS are you using?
Thanks,
A
Yeah, mate , I supposed so, but I'm looking for solution. Skype is running well, even very well surprisingly, I'm using WildHero 1.2.1 now, but with older roms like VillianRom12 and 13 was running well too.

P.S. I noticed that when I search for something , in this case were Skype, Sky Map, Astro file manager, and few other apps - the results are all in japanese, korean or chinese language and nothing to do with the searched word .. isnt that strange .. ??? I'm from Bulgaria , far away from these countries.

[Q] G-sensor/accelerometer/auto rotate not working

hi,i just bought zte blade, rooted, installed cwm, upgraded to gen 2 using tpt method, and installed CM7, stable 7.0.3, also tried RC1, latest nightly and a few random nighlies
and my problem occurs in all of them.... auto rotate isnt working... IT IS TURNED ON in sttings,tried to turn on of tried to reboot tried to wipe everything tried factory reset nothing helps... and i see im not the first one with this problem but all of the topics started about this issue have 0 replies.. this bug is not stated anywhere in changelogs and in fact it makes CM7 unusable on ZTE Blade.. cause you cant always message and browse and do everything in portrait view... i heard its a kernel issue that every overclock enabled kernel on device upraded from g1 to g2 makes accelerometer or g sensor or w/e you call it stop working.. i really love cm7 and i bought this phone thinking im gonna use it on it and this issue is really frustrating please help someone.. please
Try another ROM like Swedish Spring or Ginger Stir Fry and if it still occurs in those ROM's then it's probably a hardware fault.
same hi
hi there, ive bought my blade 2 days ago, and got the same issue you are talking about, i flashed it to swedish and find out that auto-rotate doesnt work, so ive tried different kernel that should have helped, but istead blade didnt even boot, ive also tried newest CM7 with no luck...kinda desperate and confused that there are just few threads about this and no real solution, thinking of going back to stock froyo, but iam afraid of bricking...if u find any solution write here or on email, ill do the same if i find one, thx
New Blades seem to have different sensor hardware. Try Sensor List from market and compare the results with this screen (from Orange San Francisco bought earlier this year):
db.tt/ms5m4i6
(can't post links)
yes your right, thats the source of the problem, my accelerometer is not the same as yours.. heres the screen tinyurl dot com slash 3tqv26o
now me and other peaople wold like to know if there is a way to modify kernel to work with this hardware... i think cm7 developers should be intersted in resolving this

didnt know that, people posting about this on CM7 forums dont get much attention
if they really manage to get it to work that will be my uber happy day like when i had wildfire stock 2.2 and alpharevx came out
I also have the same problem, will hit modaco forums n check if there`s something on it.
Can we calibrate those sensor?
Sent from my ZTE-BLADE using XDA App
Got my blade yesterday...auto rotate was working well till i upgraded to gen2 and installed cm7. I have being doing a lot of research on that...so if anyone comes up with a workaround, please inform
P.S i am not uninstalling cm7, thats the best rom i have ever seen

Now Brian n the rest, there is no work around on it, tried changing different kernels without success, finally flashed cm7 n installed Ginger Stir Fry, its been 3 days n everything is fine, but remember u`ve already upgraded to Gen 2, so no need of Tpt install, just get the Rom, its also very good at preserving power. with problems hit me up on twitter @alexakams
i also use Ginger Stir Fry because AutoRotation dont work with cm7. its a clean and fast rom, but Elitemovil Blade_Rom is also an option.

[Q] Wolfram Alpha not compatible anymore

Wolfram Alpha used to be working on my device when I ran stock 2.2 and the Gingerbread based RC2 Apex rom. But now I'm running MIUI and I can't seem to get it installed. I purchased the program on the Android Market and got it for free while it was the free app of the day on Amazon's market (just in case), and neither will install. I also tried to restore the app with Titanium backup, but with no luck.
I also searched around and tried to install the app through an Update.zip, but that didn't work either.
Does anyone have any ideas?
PS. I also saw another thread for this in the Galaxy S II part of the forums, but the person who answered didn't give a very detailed response, and I had no clue as to what they were getting at. Any help would be appreciated, even if it's telling me that I can't ever get it to work.
