I've tried the DirecTV tablet app on multiple 4.2.2, 4.3 and 4.3.1 custom Roms (CM, AOKP, Omni) and it keeps rebooting my tablet. The app will start and I input my credentials but after about 5 seconds I get a reboot. The tablet will keep rebooting over and over so I have to go to recovery and flash a nandroid.
On stock 4.3.1 the app works fine. Is anyone using the app on a custom ROM? I wasn't able to find any posts about the issue here or other forums.
I have also used both CWM and TRWP to flash each of the Roms with the same result.

I've been using the Directv app on Carbon 4.3 nightly with the ktmanta kernel w/o issue. Not sure what else to tell you. Are you using the tablet version?
My app version is 1.2.3 if it helps.

Ditto, I get the react same results as you, running ParanoidAndroid 3.99 rc2.
In reading your post I realized I had the stock phone app installed on my Nexus 10. The second poster said he was running the Tablet version without issue. So I uninstalled the Phone app and d/l'ed the Tablet version. I got the exact same result as you. It'd run for about 5 seconds and reboot the tablet. I also had to restore a Nandroid.
I just updated TWRP to the latest, so maybe that'll fix it. In the mean time anyone got other thoughts?

I Installed the latest Carbon nightly and the app works fine, no rebooting. CM and the others I tried must have commits that cause the issues and Carbon must not have them. Strange.
Guess its Carbon for me for awhile!
Thanks!

I use the DirecTV tablet almost daily on mrRobinson AOKP rom.
It would cause reboot loops on any version of CM 10.2 just a you describe.
The other day I tried Trinity kernel with CM nightly after a clean install and before starting DirecTV app. it appears that the kernel was at fault. The DirecTV app now works well.

Same here. Flashed Trinity over my ParanoidAndroid 3.99 installation and wiped caches. The DirecTV Tablet app now works flawlessly. Gotta be a Kernel conflict. Thanks!

is this app working on cm9 02232012
for me says device not compatible is there a fix i tried looking with search but no dice
I'm not sure about that specific nightly, but I was not able to get it to run with the 05272012 version.
I'm guessing the app just doesn't work on the Nook for CM9 yet.
I had version 2.0 of the Sirius app running fine on CM7 version 177 after updating the IMEI, but when I tried to go to a CM7.2 nightly, it would not work either. It seems the app stopped working at some point in the evolution of CM. I'm going to try CM7.1 and see if that works.
Anyone else using the Sirius app have any success with later CM builds?
I've succesfully flashed cm9 0.2 beta (from jokersax's site) and everything is working fine. However, after flashing the gaap's there is no change. I am not able to get the android marketplace app or any of the google app's in the package.
my CWM gives no errors and it says the package installs properly.
If anyone has any suggestions I'd be very greatful!
has anyone had an issue similar to this?
version 10? Did you install AFTER you flashed the Rom?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I've tried both v10 and v9. - and yes I flash them after already installing the rom. I've followed the procedure properly but nothing's showing up.
Have you tried re-downloading the gapps zip and flashing again? Try doing a system wipe, wipe all of your caches and whatnot, then re-flash 0.2 beta and gapps v10. My atrix has flashed everything properly, but then again this is still in beta so there's going to be problems somewhere.
I've literally done exactly that 3-4 times and it doesn't work. The rom installs perfectly but there are no google apps in it when I'm booted in.
these are my steps
- boot into recovery, perform wipe, including cache
- install 0.2 cm9
- flash gaaps v10 in the same way as 0.2 cm9
- turn on phone
the os is great but there is no market or any google apps. I was hoping to get face unlock going ><
Wipe dalvik too.

Oh OK my bad. This has never happened to me. Gapps always includes atleast the market. Maybe try another cm9?
I've trued turl's aswell using his gaap's and it still doesn't work.
Geez. The only things I can suggest is a fasboot wipe or PM Turl or joker.
That's really odd.

What version of CWM are you using? If you're not using the latest, GAPPS may say it installs ok but will not actually install. I believe the latest is 5.0.2.7 or 5.8.1.8 if you're using Touch. Others have reported this same problem and updating worked for them.
Yea... that is quite odd. I've installed i believe at least 2 or 3 different versions of Joker's CM9, along with the Gapps kit, and have always gotten at least the Market, which is the general requirement for just about EVERYTHING.

Easiest thing to do would be to probably install Rom Manager and then update CWM through it.

After many hours of reading posts, installing different roms, installing all the flash apk's floating around the forums and trying every available browser, I decided to post here. I have not been able to get flash player to work at all with 4.2 on any custom rom. Every browser I have tried has crashed. I have been at this game for several years, so I have jumped through all the hoops, fixing permissions, fresh installs, etc... My question is, has anybody else had this experience? I am not really looking for testimonials of it working for people right out of the gate, because obviously it is by the lack of postings on this issue. If you fall into the category of struggling with flash on 4.2 and found a combination that finally works, please pass that info on. Thanks and have a great day.
Flash on 4.2
I don't know about on a custom ROM, but this browser plays flash on stock 4.2 with a custom kernel
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/52089051/HoloWeb.apk
Worked out of the box for me.
Hi OP,
I am facing exactly the same problem as you. Mine is a Nexus 7 3g model running on android 4.2 which I got yesterday. I have also try installing every possible flash apk that i can find...tried on alot of browser. Firefox beta, boat browser, dolphin version 8 to 9, holu as recommended by the post above. None can get to work. Its either the browser crash or some can't even display any flash plugin.
Did Google did any modifications to 4.2 that prevent flash from working?? If anybody has solve the problem please share your solution. I am also not a newbie to rooting and custom Roms as my mobile is galaxy s2 and is rooted with custom ROM. Just that I tot nexus 7 can install flash without Going through that. By as the op indicates, even that did not help him.
Thanks for any help in advance!!

Thanks for the reply. I was really not wanting to go the stock route unless necessary. I will tuck the download away and use if need be. Thanks for the response.
Flash is working but only for really small videos.
When it comes to bigger videos or apps it freezes the browser.(Both with Custom and normal kernel)

I tried that combination, didn't experiment with any other kernel but the one built into the rom. I don't know, hard to imagine it being a hardware issue with my device.

Use the AOSP stock browser mainly, but tried boat, xscope and others that I have had success with on 4.1.2. I will try adfree with a fresh install and see what happens. Thanks.
Same problem here. It's working with some flash but definitely not all. Even the one on adobe website that checking whether flash is installed make browser crashed. ><
Hope to find solution too.
If you have flash can you watch hulu without a plus subscription?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Well, only solution I've found for now.
Use Firefox for android. It's only browser I've found working with almost all flash.
If you'd still prefer other browser as default, just switch off flash/plugin option in that browser to "on demand" (not always).
Then download Flashify from playstore, it helps share link to other browser with ease.
I use AOSP as my default browser, when I browse to a page with flash and I want to see, just share it to Firefox via Flashify.
That's my solution for now, hope this help.
Hi guys,
Seems like there is a mixture of success and failure of getting flash working on Android 4.2.
Care to share what device you are using be it success or failure?
I still can't get mine to work.
Nexus 7 (3G Model)
Stock condition: Andriod 4.2
I even come across a thread where after he did a factory reset the flash got working. I did my factory reset...still no luck.
Well, I'll share my detail.
Nexus 7 wifi model 32GB
Stock JB 4.2 Rooted
Flash player 11.1.115.27 (Try other version - same result)
Flash working on Firefox for android only, no other browsers.
Should I try factory reset then ?
I have it on my 32GB Wi-Fi. 4.2
Used the info from here (I take no credit for this) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774336

Hi OP,
Do you mean when you flash back to AOKP 4.1.2 you got the flash working perfectly? The choppy happen on the 4.2 is it?

Sorry, flash was too choppy for me with Firefox on 4.2. I reverted back to 4.1.2 until things get ironed out with possible updates or a solid solution.

Install Jelly Bean 4.2 Keyboard from the market and use that one instead
I can't download from the market on account of I don't have a working keyboard. ill try downloading the apk.
there must be something wrong with gapps. it runs fine before installing gapps. after installing gapps i installed the keyboard but the rom is very unresponsive, the account setup kept glitching, couldnt get the market to connect to the internet, and the home button doesnt work. whats going on? would someone mind sending me a backup that is working and already has gapps installed or point me in the direction where i can find that.
Maybe you flashed wrong GAPPS package?

What's the deal with cm development on this tablet. I even just tried to download the play store apk and it force closes.
Idk I am pretty dissapointed because I've always loved the CM ROMs but thats what XDA is for.

I'm having the same difficulty with CM 10 on a Sony Xperia Arc. Have tried multiple kernels (included with CM Roms, or not) and Gapps packages. If it is possible to load a stock or other keyboard after flashing a ROM, I'd like to hear about this.
I wanted to post this in the paranoid android forum, but I'm not allowed to since I don't have 10 posts.
Google search is crashing on me, I had the Alpha two version, and I've re-flashed the previous nightly. Still not working. I wiped the cache for the app, still no help.
Wasn't an issue with cm10
Any suggestions?

Whenever you flash an AOSP ROM, you always have to flash the Gapps as well.
