I don't know about the rest of you, but I am so tired of all the bugs on the leaked radio/froYo. I just went back to bare bones stock with no root and guess what, everything works! I'll be waiting for the official update to be hacked for root and then install that.
"Froyo" was nice for a while, but all the problems and bugs negated the point of updating.
Anyone else feeling this way by now?

Nope. Works fine here. Some minor bugs but nothing major.

Saturday Night I went back to 2.1 using the HBOOT downgrade. I then re-rooted, and restored my Nandroid from right before I upgraded.
I'm much happier now. I posted this on android forums as well, but for me its...
Back with 2.1
Gmail is back 100% and pushing my Google apps email (second Google account on phone)
Swype is working flawlessly again.
Google Talk is signed in as my Google apps account vs. being locked into my gmail account.
My purchased market apps are now mine again (not sure what happened here, but even signed in with the same gmail account I couldn't install purchased updates). Using the 'Market fix" didn't do anything for me.
I have my under volted hydra Kernel back.
Pretty significant increase in battery life at least partially because of the previous statement.

I haven't had any of those issues using SkyRaider 2.0.1. The only issue I've had is hanging market downloads, which canceling and restarting seems to fix, and the browser crashing, but only when I'm using the back button to return to my original app.
I updated my facebook app but it keeps crashing when I click on someone profile or pic. Anyone having thia problem? I'm using CM7 Stable version. Facebook version 1.5.3. Thanks

Working fine here. Stock/rooted 2.3. Facebook 1.5.3

I have the same problem on CM7 stable, FB 1.5.3 - the application crashes immediately when clicking on "Profile", "Friends" or "Messages". I had no problems before the Facebook update.
Until the App is updated you could try the Flow-App for Facebook usage.
If you have a theme installed it won't work.... Remember they have to update the themes to accommodate the updated Facebook. It happened to me then I just went over to the stock CM7 theme and did a cache and dalvik cache wipe and reboot. If that doesn't fix it then a fresh install of cm7 or go back to the old Facebook. THIS IS ONLY FOR CM7 USERS WITH TMO THEME ENGINE THEMES INSTALLED.
It is doing the same on my phone. Installed a new CM7 this morning, no theme, and have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, clearing cache, etc. It crashes regardless.
Same problem here, reading the market reviews looks like it's a major problem effecting many phones. Hopefully fb fixes it soon!
I have no idea how they get away with publishing such a bad update!
I'm convinced facebook has no testers lol.
they're just concerned with their iphone facebook!!
All CM7 ROMs appear to be affected:

I rolled back to 1.5.2 and detached Facebook from the Market for now so it won't auto update.

The update works fine.
It's janky custom roms that are breaking with the update.
Reason number 1,038 why I run a stock rom.
Update broke Facebook for me too, even uninstalled and reinstalled still FC every chance except for first screen (news feed). Luckily I had a nandroid with 1.5.2 on it, which is working just fine for now. Keeping an eye out for a higher version than 1.5.3, judging by the ratings, there seem to be many others with the same problems.
BTW, Cyanogenmod is hardly "janky"... and I'd really love to see that list of reasons lol
Well, this thread is a pretty good example.
They take a working rom, add a bunch of features to it, and accordingly break it because their features don't follow any standardized method of doing things.

That's not quite how Cyanogen works. It's built from Google's open source code, not from the original ROM of the device. Anyway, carriers have a way of breaking working features too. Don't blame it all on the community developers

Facebook won't fix anything as their app isn't broken! It is custom roms that are broken. Ask your rom developer to fix their rom.
Hey guys... I signed up for the beta version of VIBER about 2 months ago and still didn't get my approval to use the beta-version. I really need this app!! Did anyone get it? How's it working? What do I do?
Hi,
This is a member of the Viber Dev Team.
After subscribing at http://eepurl.com/bW1Ln you simply need to wait several weeks from our invitation email. Once you get it, you will be asked to fill out a form verifying the same details as the original subscription, and then you will be sent to download the APK and complete your installation.
If you get the APK without following this exact procedure (in the *exact* same order), you will NOT be able to activate.
Our waiting list is long, so a little more patience is needed
We are considering to make the Beta version public these days, but no announcements yet. We will keep you posted.
i've got mine yesterday, so far so good

I was hoping to get a new app to login to sipgate but unfortunately this one won't do it

Important: those of you who were testing our Beta (after getting the invitations) will have to uninstall Viber, and only then install the Market version. Thank you!
As usual, I'll be here for your questions, suggestions, bug reports or anything else really
Thanks,

Just completed the Dexter Mod to allow Google Play on my A7.
All appears working fine, except that Google play will not allow me to purchase any apps. I get an Error ("An error occurred, please try again"), everytime I touch the price button on any app or music.
I've rebooted the device without clearing the issue.
Any ideas?
Oh yeah, this device is not on Googles list of supported devices.
Thanks
Update - Still no joy. Free aps download, but cannot buy
I decided to try to re-do the mod.
I first went to Google and deleted all my accounts.
I did the Dexter mod again from scratch and set up a new Google Acct after the reboot.
Going to Google Play updated the Android Marketplace to Play Store on the tablet.
Using Google Play I still cannot buy an app, but I can download a free one. There are only two apps listed anyway. Missle Command which I cannot buy for $0.99 and 8Track, a music app which is free and downloaded fine.
The first time I did this there were a bizillion apps available, although I could get to none of them.
Any ideas here?
***** Another Update: I discovered I can buy apps using Play Store through my PC for the A7 which upload fine, but still not directly thru the A7
Another Update: Success
Seems like after waiting a while and not using the tablet's Play Store, when finally returning, I have a full list of games and apps.
I also just successfully downloaded a free game (Angry Birds Space) directly from the A7.
This is good news!
I had read elsewhere that on another tablet (Samsung, I believe), ignoring the Play Store app on the tablet for a while would eventually alloe it to work properly.
Seems like that's the case here.
Wow, quiet group here! Lots of views on both of my current threads and not a single comment. I know everyone was just waiting for me to figure it out myself ;<)
Dexter has more than a dozen Mods for at least 3 OS on at least 6 platforms. Probably that is the reason that no one replied ??

I haven't been in this forum in a while just pop in once in a while, might find better help for the a7 at tabketroms.com, but any ways have you tried clearing the cache and data of the google play store in your settings?
Thanks for the recommendation on the other site. Everything works fine, but the device is listed as not supported by a great majority of the apps. It's kind of a worthless tablet, at least it was free.

You can update manually.
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/google-play-store-5-0-31-apk/
Try this
Just download the apk lol.
I have a friend with oneplus one and n5 and he didn't receive it either, so it doesn't mean anything
Google for most of their apps (esp Play Services and Play Store) roll out updates in stages usually over a week or two, you just get it when you do, I don't have it on any of my devices yet but it will come.
Like others have said you can manually update with the apk if you want it faster.

I got it last night. Must say not quite impressed. Minor UI changes & nothing else. So all those who have not received it yet, you ain't missing much guys. :good:
Miner UI changes. But its awesome.
And i feel now its double fast too.
I got an update today on 5.0.31 ....
Update manually
I found a way to update manually without having to download any apk file. You can do it right from Google Play Store. Here is how:
-Open Play Store
-Press the menu button (top left of the screen, 3 horizontal lines)
-Select "Settings"
-Scroll down and under "About" you should see "Build version". Press it and it should say that "Google is going to download a new version of Play Store and update it" or something similar
-Wait a few minutes
That's it. You should have the latest version of Play Store now.
I was just about to check, but then realised, it's already v5.0.31 :good:
I just got the update, not much but good ui
me too checked today and it was updated
I am on v5.0.32 due to force update through normal apk installation.
