Banking app not working on CyanognenMod 10.x - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I'm running CM 10.2 (also tried CM 10.1) but my banking app BNP Fortis Easybanking doesn't work. It works if I flash a Samsung based rom like Omega or Echo, with CM it installs, but when I try to login in I get a error (generic error saying sign in is not available for Tehcnical reason). I suspect it's doing some sort of security check, but since it works with rooted roms Omege/Echo, it's not the root that's causing the issue (note I also tried Hide my root).
In the app reviews in Play I see some others have the same issue (so it's not just me), anyone have any idea of a workaround or what the app might be checking?
Thanks
Running S4 i9505 with CM 10.2

The best bit of advice I can give you is, if you there's any app that you absolutely must have work, run stock. This sort of thing isn't specific to the I9500/I9505, it happened a lot with the S2/S3/etc & people have tried all sorts of things which just don't work. Run stock - problem solved.

Thank you, but that wasn't the point of my question. I know I can run stock, isn't the point of XDA to customize and solve problems, I love to play with my phone and love CM, the performance, features and battery life is better than any stock rom. The only thing that doesn't work for me it that banking app and while it's not critical it would be nice to find a solution.

Is Hide My Root the same as temporarily disabling root altogether? In my country there's a television app which only let's you watch live television if you have an unrooted phone. So in SuperSU/SuperUser I disable root, watch television, enable root.
This works like a charm, haven't tried your app so no idea if this is something you could also try...?

Do all/most of the custom roms have the dialer enabled?

I want to use the built-in dialer for sip, which is inaccessible in stock. part of the reason I want this is I want to use bluetooth and still haven't found a voip/sip app that supports bluetooth. Others say grooveip works fine, but I'm Canadian so no use.
Or is there an easy method of enabling in stock now? I read before of some method where you had to change the dpi and do some other things and then add your sip credentials and then modify the dpi back.
But I'm curious to know if most custom roms have it enabled.
I'd also be interested getting the stock dialer for sip. Preferably in Stock rom.
do you mean the phone.apk ?

Thanks, but the thing is phone.apk is already there, part of the Android system, it's just disabled somehow. And not the typical way that can be unfrozen.

This post describes the method of enabling the sip dialer. A little clunky but doesn't sound too hard, haven't tried it yet though. He mentions bluetooth is a little shaky which is disappointing. Does bluetooth just suck in general with android or what?
But anyone who is running a custom rom, can you tell me if the dialer is enabled, if so, what are you running?

4.2 has really irked me and I'm looking again at installing a custom rom, probably cyanogen as that's what I ran on my old nook color.
So can someone running cyanogen or any custom rom tell me if the dialer is enabled?
I've ran lots of custom roms and haven't seen a dialer once. We've never had 3G.

Can you not download Go Contacts. This comes with a dialer. I've used this successfully to make and receive phone calls on the Nexus 7 in conjunction with tablet talk and a Bluetooth headphone.

Thank you for answering! Now at least I know custom roms don't have it, but it's disappointing. You mention we don't have 3g I know that, and that's probably the logic why google disables it. But carriers also disable things like that to prevent voip usage, so it's kind of irrating, and surprising that custom roms wouldn't enable it either. Especially since I know it was there on cm7 on my nook which didn't even have a mic. I put in my sip creditentials in cm7 just to test a call and it worked fine, but again obviously it had no mic. I thought oh well, next tablet. Well now I have the next tablet and I was somewhat hoping google wouldn't do what the carriers typically do. I think it also avoids confusion because people think it's a phone as well, but why not at least have a developer option to enable sip dialing or something.
I may request on the cyanogen mod forrums if they could please enable it.

[Q] Lots of Apps not functioning on N10

It seems like a lot of the apps that i try don't function properly on the Nexus 10. The ones that don't work that bother me most are the TiVo, Netflix, NFL Mobile, and Draw Something. I have tried a couple roms(ASOP by Craig, and Modaco), and the apps didn't work with either. Is there any mods or tricks to get these apps to work? It's enough of an issue that I will probably be selling my nexus 10 in the very near future if this isn't rectified. I just feel that a "Google Nexus" device should be the most compatible android device on the market, and not the one with the most issues.
Draw something works on a stock n10. Rooting seems to break it. Probably something to do with the way rooting works with the new multi user stuff in android 4.2. Most of the apps that I use that have had problems on the n10 have been receiving updates recently to add proper android 4.2 support.

interesting.. I wonder if Draw Something will work if I set up another user account and use it on that? If it works it'd be worth the trouble. Because, root doesn't work [SuperSU] on anything but the main user. I hope it works because I was looking forward to using a tablet for Draw Something again.. just to find it wouldn't work.
Edit: didn't work!
What issue have you been having with Netflix?, I just watched Sleepwalk With Me on my N10 tonight through it without issue.

Trouble installing 3rd party apps.

I'm trying to install some of the Humble Indie Bundle 6 games on my N4 and I'm running into a problem I've never faced before. The APK files download just fine, but when it comes to actually opening them to start the installation, it won't install. The button that says "install" does nothing when I press it. I checked in my security settings and "unknown sources" are allowed. I included screenshots of both these in the attached files. I even tried un-selecting the "verify apps" option, in case the humble bundle app had been removed from their white list for some reason, it still won't install.
I thought it might be a bug with the Humble Bundle beta app so I tried to uninstall and reinstall it, but it too is getting stuck on the installation. It downloads just fine but it won't install. I've tried rebooting my phone, still no luck. I'm on the latest Jelly Bean 4.2.2. Has anyone else been getting this problem, or does anyone have any idea on how I could fix it? I didn't pay much for the games but it sort of sucks to have bought them and be unable to play any of them like this.
I'd like to try with some more third party apps to see if it's all of them, or if it's just the Humble Bundle APKs that are causing me trouble (if it's the later I can probably contact Humble Bundle and ask them for assistance), but I'm not familiar with those. Could someone please recommend some good safe ones I can test out?
My humble bundle beta installed fine. So at least you know the app should work. Sorry can't help you more. Hopefully someone else has a solution. Silly question... have you tried rebooting?

are you running paranoid android? disable halo, or so ive read.
Any app that requires permission to draw over other apps can potentially cause what you're experiencing. Examples include but are not limited to:
- the HALO feature in PA ROMs
- Screen filter apps
- Other floating apps

Could any of that happen if I haven't rooted?
Also,
I've just tried to reinstall TubeMate, another third party app I like. It's APK also refuses to install, which probably means there's a problem with my phone and not just the Humble Bundle app. I'm starting to think I'll have to factory reset the phone, which is certainly do-able, just... not very fun.

Yes, this can happen without root access. I've seen your problem addressed several times in multiple forums and ALL of them is because of a floating app.
Look through your app list. Is there ANY app that, as a feature, floats on top of other apps?
Eg, Facebook Messenger, Screen Filter, Floating Stickies, AirCalc, etc
Just force stop them and you should be able to sideload apk's again.

The phone says 1.68 GB are free, but when I plug it into my desktop it tells me 1.57 GBs. So... somewhere between those two.
EDIT:
Found it... It was the Twilight app (no, not THAT Twilight... lol), it's an app that tints the whole screen a slight redish color so it doesn't hurt my eyes too much when I use the phone in the evening. That must count as a "floating". The moment I disabled that I was able to successfully install the APK. YOU SIR, ohyearar, have won a thanks.

Reasons not to update your N7 to Kitkat 4.4 (yet)

Here are some reasons that you should not update your Android OS to 4.4 for the time being (as of Nov 15):
1. Flash is broken. The sideloaded Adobe flash no longer works (at least with Firefox)
2. Stock email app is not fully functional. Issues are reported with Exchange sync. In my case, I use imap mail. Stock email app even had problem syncing with my imap server. Emails deleted on my computer still showed on my N7.
3. XBMC (nightly built) is only working after you disable hardware decoding.
4. Most of the improvements in UI (launcher) featured in Nexus 5 DO NOT appear on Nexus 7. Your launcher looks nearly the same as 4.3.
Anyone else encountered issues with KitKat? Feel free to add to the list above.
[Update]
In case you updated to 4.4, and want to revert back, this is one way to return to 4.3:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...stock-using-a-full-factory-image-and-root-it/
Warning!!! You will lose your data. So backup anything important.
After you put 4.3 back, here is how you remove notification to automatic update to 4.4:
1. Go to Settings - Apps - ALL - Google Services Framework (Uncheck "Show notifications")
2. This doesn't stop Android from download the update. If your N7 is rooted, you can delete the update file. It is in /cache. (If your N7 is not rooted, you are out of luck)
3. In the future, if you want the update again:
Go to Settings - Apps - ALL - Google Services Framework (clear cache and data, restart)
For the reason 4, you can download and install Google Home launcher. It work perfectly ☺

I don't count this as an issue. If it looks just the same, but has the software improvements, then why not? Just saying....

Your on XDA, and your telling them not to flash the new update...? Irony?

I came from CM10.2 and glitch kernel to stock Kitkat then kitkat with glitch.
Things I miss from that transition:
- In the close programs area I miss the close all the programs at once ability.
- I miss being able to swipe down and hold on the WiFi toggle to switch networks
- I miss my USB DAC working (this is no big deal to me but it is cool when it works)
I am beginning to come to the understanding though that regardless whether you are on a Custom ROM, Stock 4.3, Stock 4.4, whatever......
it really all looks the same, and acts the same. I think you just pick what you like and go with it and that's what is wonderful about the Android platform......the ability to pick and choose.
If I want my USB DAC back I'm quite literally a ROM flash away from doing it.
For now I'm going with kitkat and glitch kernel which nets me a 3G wireless dongle. If it weren't for the dongle stock 4.4 would be just fine for me.

Not true for all of my Android (4.3 or older) and iOS devices. When you move an email to trash box on one device, all other devices sync to remove that email to trash automatically.

It works for me, as well. Nice new feature, especially once Google Search is updated to v3.1. Thanks for the tip!
I don't see very many reasons NOT to upgrade to 4.4 on a Nexus 7 2013.....I've lost two apps: wifi manager and Xposed framework to activate the "experimental features" of Greenify. Greenify still works, of course, and Xposed will soon be updated.

The two things I miss are Xposed (and the Gravity add on). I also didn't want to give up Multiboot. So, I left 4.3 as my "internal" OS and loaded 4.4 as a secondary in Multiboot. I then set 4.4 as the default. Elemental kernel works fine with the WiFi fix posted. Now I need to go back and trim a lot of fat off my 4.3 "base" install.
When I can get Multiboot and Xposed I will probably flash 4.4 as the base OS.

Hey, I waited.. about 10 seconds!
Flash is dying. I don't think adobe is developing it any longer for android. They only have older version without support on their website.
Good, then we shall fight in the shade!
The biggest 4.4 issue for me is that text reflow is broken in lots of apps including Yahoo Mail and browsers (Next, Opera, etc). (Text reflow reformats the column of text partially visible on the screen to fit the screen. ie. zoom in until it's big enough and the the text is reformatted either automatically or by a double tap.
It's a huge issue for me as I find mobile web sites a poor substitute for their full featured desktop siblings. Without text reflow, I'm stuck scrolling horizontally to read each line.
I don't use flash a lot but find it pretty essential when I need it.
Web browsing also seems significantly slower with multiple browsers than 4.3.1,
I'm restoring my backup and going back to 4.3.1. Kit Kat didn't bring anything I've found significant in my use but has broken stuff that's important to me.
Kitkat doesn't bring anything significant, but brings problems (which will be ironed out over time, but now they are there).
It's definitely best to stay on 4.3 until it really pays to upgrade.
Sometimes the Android community appears to me like a religious cult where people dance around a golden calf and don't want to see reality anymore. "Holy update! Save my soul!"

I don't feel like downgrading since I got sick battery life with 4.4 but what I miss the most is app ops. The best feature from 4.3 and almost no-one is talking about the removal of it.
I'm not going to upgrade my 2012 N7 though, it has great battery life already.

It's normal for a device to slow down or lag a little when installing apps sometimes, the screen locking definitely isn't normal though.

It's an issue with aosp package installer. You won't see it on other devices as the oems re-write that code.
It's mostly noticeable on anything FB puts out. As they are known for having the worst coded apps on the market.

Well as the custom roms sync their source with aosp, then Google has not pushed a fix if there is one. This is happening more and more. Google fixes something but doesn't push it to aosp so it stays broken in 3rd party roms until the devs find a fix
Has this been solved? It's happening to me.
facing same issue. Also my YouTube pause video whenever some app gets updated in background.
Noticed this along with horrible battery life due to system ui restarts or something in all latest may version of Roms. I went back to b29I or whatever "I" version stock rom. No problems since. Goodluck
