Tasker exits as soon as I open it - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Wondering if anyone else having this problem? VZW G2 running CleanRom. I installed Tasker from the Play Store and it installed fine and I opened it and accepted the terms and whatnot and the tasker icon is in the notification bar, indicating it's running. WhenI open the app to add profiles, it exits about a second later. It doesn't force close, it just exits and appears to still be running in the notification bar. I used it before on my GS3 without any issues. Any ideas? I have an internet connection, so it should be able to verify the license.
Edit: upgraded to latest Tasker beta problem solved. Weird.

Liberty3 V2.0 bugs

OK, I would have posted this in the Liberty3 thread in the Droid X Android Development forum but I guess I need to have more than 10 posts to do so. I admit I've never really posted on here before as I've always used Android Central. This is my first time using a custom ROM so I knew I needed to come here. But enough of that and onto the bugs.
When I go into Menu>Settings>Liberty Settings>Status Bar and then try to uncheck the Hide Alarm Icon it works but then when I back out of it will default to checked again. So my setting won't save.
The second one is also in the Liberty Settings. When I click Pulldown Text and try to save my text, "Jay's Droid", Liberty Settings will force close and never save the custom text. However when I write "Jay Droid" it will save and ask me to reset the Statusbar and it works. So I guess it does't like apostrophes?
Just trying to get these bugs to the developer.
Have same issues... however my alarm will show in status bar even though if I go into settings and see the "hide alarm" is checked after I unselected it... it somehow knows still... the pulldown text has been touch and go since version 1.0 for me, most times if you change it it'll take more than 1 reboot for it to show.

Well found a few more bugs. First, with a screenshot, is the battery percentage on the pattern lock screen. When the battery is low it just dispays "%d%%" instead of the battery percentage. The screenshot is attached to this post.
Second, there seems to be something screwy with the ringtones. First, several of the stock ones turn up twice in the list when you go to change the ringtone. However, if you go to where they are through the Root File Explorer you can verify they are only in there once. Also, on the stock ROM, I was able to delete the ringtones I didn't want and copy my custom ones over to the system file without any problems. Now when I do it on this ROM I get problems. If I would try to change ringtones after I either deleted any stock tones or added my custom ones it will cause the settings to force close. So for now I'm just leaving the ringtones alone and leaving my custom tones on my SD card.
But this ROM is still amazing for the speed and stability when overclocked to 1.25GHz. I can't get over the no lag.

Yeah I too notice now that the alarm will still show in the status bar which is good. I would never turn it off anyway so it isn't a big deal to me that it stays on and neither is the pulldown text. Just thought I would try and let the developer know.
Thanks for the info
Anyone having any problems with Google Music? It now keeps force closing on me whenever I go to play a song. All my songs are on Google's servers and none are on my SD card. The only way to stop to force closing is to re-flash Liberty and then a few days later it starts all over again.

Never mind. I figured that one out quickly. Turns out, if you block ads through the ROM Toolbox app, it blocks something in Google Music that will cause it to Force Close when you go to stream your music from the cloud.

Thanks Jay.
I had the same issue with my Bionic.(Local files in Google Music played fine, but received Force Close errors when streaming from the cloud) I didn't want to settle with ads so I manually edited the hosts file (/system/etc/hosts) and found that there was no entry for 127.0.0.1 localhost. After adding this as the first entry to the custom list from Ad Blocker in the ROM Toolbox I no longer had FCs streaming with Google Music.

Mysterious bug since last update to 7.3.0

Since the last update my Kindle had suffered an annoying bug that pop-ups intermittently a notification, changes to black the background picture of ADW Launcher, and avoids me to enter to Configuration by sliding the finger at the upper part of the screen. Fortunately it stops a minute if I reboot. Then it begins its cycles
The only cure I've found is to set off all the notifications of all the apps and reboot. Then again I can put back all notifications on until, after a few days, the error returns. It has happened to me four times.
The alleged offender appears to be the Dolphin browser, that now hangs every now and then, but as the error happens occasionally I have not been able to do more tests.
I think I found the cause of the bug. Immediately to the update I installed the Google environment, and it appears that Gmail app notifications are not very compatible with Kindle.
The solution has been to cancel them from within the program, which has a setting to prevent them.

marked.
may be helpful later.
Marked yes. Now, reading the "fixes" of Kinology, psych0phobia) says that:
"Fixed crash on Gmail notifications (this is an Amazon bug, not Google)"

[Q] Question- Mobile Hotspot modded to skip provisioning check (VZW)

Had to post here due to I have not posted enough to put it in Developer area.
VS98011A - Rooted and using Portable Wifi hotspot from Core
Instructions from this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456338&highlight=wifi
I followed the instructions in the Developer topic to back-up and replace the hotspot files,,, but,,, I accidentally started the Portable wifi app before I rebooted. Used root browser and files renamed/copied fine.
I rebooted, uninstalled portable wifi,,recopied the modded file and set permissions,, rebooted again and re-installed portable wifi and then started wifi app,,,,,,,, it then popped up the screen to set up wifi hotspot,,, done that and app went back to home screen.
When I start wifi app, screen will give a quick flash(too fast to see what it is),, stay on home screen with this this brief message "Turn on Portable Wifi Hotspot", then message disappears. I get no icon in notification bar that shows that app is running. It isn't running since other devices do not detect it.
I re-installed original files and started over and but still didn't work.
Questions/Issue
1. Do I need a different wifi app
2. Preveiously on my S4 when I ran this wifi app I would see that app was starting,,, see the warning screen, press home screen button to remove warning and get the icon in notification bar that app was running and it ran fine.
3. Is there a setting/checkbox that needs to be changed?
4. Do you leave out the odex file like instructions say?
5. Do the successful users of this method have the icon in notification bar that shows it is running?
Edit:
Do I need a separate app?
or am I supposed to be using the option - Settings/Mobile Hotspot --that checkbox?
sorry for length but newbie and frustrated............ thanks in advance for any help/suggestions

[Q] Touchwiz Application Manager Doesn't Stay Open

I'm running SACS TW ROM and for some reason when I long-press the HOME key, the application manager (recent apps) comes up, but disappears if I let go of the home button. It doesn't matter when I let go of home, it disappears. If I keep it held in, I can use the application manager fine, but as soon as I let go, it goes away. What could be causing this?
I have S-Voice turned off and I used Home2Shortcut to replace it with Google Now. Then I uninstalled Home2Shortcut to try to fix the issue, no luck. I also restored TW to defaults by clearing data and cache, no luck there either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
It's S-Voice.
Disabling "Open via the home key" in S-Voice settings makes the app manager not stay open. When that's re-enabled, the app manager will stay open. Ridiculous.

LIght Flow/LLight Manager

I have tried every single combination and can not get either of these apps to even blink once. I have unchecked under LED settings, I have turned off LED completely under settings, I've even tried alternate mode and back again. Nothing works.
I absolutely rely on this and it worked flawlessly with my S3. I'm close to returning the phone but really like it so hope someone can help.
Thanks.
PS stock notification works (green light)

If anyone is interested, factory fault makes the LED work with LED Manager. However whilst it works under test mode, the reality is, when a message/email comes through it defaults to green at the blink rate set by the stock notifier. Poor.

Is there no-one that has got LED Manager/Light flow working correctly on the LG G2. Surely someone has and can tell me how they did it!

Light flow worked for me. I believe it had a "Root helper" option I enabled. It did change my LED color, however, the wakelocks resulting were detrimental to my battery. I had to uninstall it.

Thanks - that's a start. It all works fine under test mode but as soon as notifications arrive it reverts to default green.

There are some that won't work, seems like Missed call/voicemail simply cannot be changed. However, I got Gmail (white) and Facebook (Blue) ones to work.
I still would not recommend using it. If you try, use Wakelock detector and check for numerous wakelocks. Maybe light manager works better, but you still won't get missed call/voicemail to change at all I believe. I would test with Gmail and if you get that working, then try others.
It seems like the G2 stock apps can't be overridden. If you must have different led colors for Missed call/SMS, I think you'll have better luck with 3rd party apps. The light managers seem to have better ability to override the led than with stock apps. That's my suspicion.
Just throwing my experience out there, I got frustrated with the battery drain. FYI there's also an xposed module for led control. Don't try it, it doesn't work.

Sadly none work. Only in test mode.
I couldn't get any of the above to work, then tried Prof Reminder on Play store and it seems to work fine for missed calls, SMS, etc. The interface is less than intuitive and was not easy to set up for me, but it worked. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153923 also.
Lightflow does work, at least on the Verizon variant. However, it took a while for me to figure out the proper configuration. You must leave the G2's stock LED notifications enabled, but disable all the individual apps/notifications (incoming call, missed call, etc) except for the one labeled "Downloaded apps" (make sure that one is enabled/ticked). *This particular option/setting may only be available on the Verizon variant*
In Lightflow's settings, have "root mode", and "Run in foreground" enabled. Seems that "Nexus 5 force LED reset" is enabled by default, so I left that alone. "Reduce wake" is optional...seems to work either way.
For some apps to work properly (Like Facebook Messenger) you must have "Accessibility Services" enabled for Lightflow as well (on 4.2.2). On 4.4.2, the new "Notification Service" should be enabled (Lightflow should request this when you run it).
Hoping this helps.

So far, Prof Reminder app works for everything I have tried for both my and my wife's LG Verizon LG G2
I didnt have any trouble with LightFlow on 4.2.2 and it works probably 90% on KitKat. It seems like some stock apps force their notification either briefly or permanently, but i haven't troubleshooted at all. Also I did a factory reset after upgrading to KitKat and I forgot to back up my LF settings so I may have an option off that was on before.
I used Light Flow on my Samsung GS3, my G2 D803 on 4.2.2* and on 4.4.2. Everything is working perfectly (native and 3rd party apps).
*That said, I initially had trouble when I first got my G2, Light Flow would not work, and the LED only blinked on native apps. I tried everything I could think of, including contacting the developer of Light Flow, who was very helpful but we could not resolve the issue.
Finally, I did a factory reset but prior to that, I turned off backup/restore of data to Google servers, and also turned off the auto-updating of apps in the Play Store. After the reset, Light Flow started working and has worked ever since including after update to KitKat.
It is my theory that a setting from my GS3 was restored onto my G2 automatically when I changed devices (i.e. shortly after signing in to my gmail account when I got my G2). Some setting I think somehow interfered with Light Flow working. While it's possible that the factory reset itself fixed the problem, I still think it was the data restore that caused my issue. In any event, that data was just a few preferences, wifi access point, bluetooth pairings and such, no big deal to set up again (you do NOT lose email, contacts, calendar, etc. -- that is entirely different from what I mean about backup/restore of data on Google Servers).

That's it - you solved it. I had tried everything you said but had never left downloaded apps checked!!
Well done and thank you!
