Official Broken Apps thread for Froyo

[kodiak799]

the pure widgets can't sync with the new google calenders, or atleast that's the problem I've been getting. (i.e. pure music, calender, grid calender)

Audio manage, large, widget doesn't show bars.


Tried watching hulu on phone.. frames were skipping just a tad. the audio was off a bit too.

Same issue with pure messenger widget. I haven't tried, but guessing re-installing Corp Calendar would do the trick.

If you guys are not sure how to get busybox, then I would advise to go to the market and download Titanium Backup and once that is open. Hit the Problem thing in the app and it will install the latest busybox without having to do silly commands for those user not ready for ADB.

EDIT: Looks like someone has said the same thing. For emphasis then.

I lost all my stuff (again) in Home Run Derby 3D.

In the P3 2.2 ROM Helix Launcher 1.4 went in a force close loop but I got it running on the UD 2.2 ROM

That is what i used... and it was a breeze.. Simple!

Anyone been able to get Swype to work on 2.2? I've installed two different versions so far and neither become selectable in the Input Method menu.

I can't find an led flashlight app that works with 2.2... any ideas?

This sucks for me also as I always use this.

I figured "Quick Settings" but it doesn't work with the LED either, only the screen

that won't work for programs like metamorph i don't think, just fyi... you have to move it to the xbin or bin folder

No issues with Swype. Seems to work fine. I re-installed the apk with Android Mate.

I had both keyboards enabled (did not give me an option, probably had Swype as the default). Also de-selected stock soft screen. Both cases Swype worked.

Astro will not install backed-up apps. I get a "none selected" error.

LEDsHack - it works as in it does turn off the menu lights, but when you do it's impossible to play some games. for some reason things refresh every 5 seconds thus resetting or blacking out the game. even astro's icons refresh every 5 seconds.

Aldiko pretty much works fine, just has the same title bug in recent items like cyanogenmod has; titles are all dots.

For a LED flashlight app search of Sun lite. It's not very pretty, but its the only one that works so far..

 

[mcapozzi]

I've tried just about all of them. Camera flash works fine, but none of the led flashlight apps do. 2.1 and 2.2 specific ones... has anyone found one that works??

Same here, none of them work.

The one from Motorola FCs and the B&B Widget pretends to work (changes widget state without actually turning the LED on).

Hopefully someone is cooking up one that works.

I hate to ask, but what apps were tried?

more broken apps

I been finding that alot of my paid epps are getting updated but I have to go on my other phone to d/l them. In froyo it says I didn't buy them yet I did.
seen it on 2 or 3 apps. One being setcpu, which works fine for me as is. Another is audiomanager but even after its update its still not showing the bars at all. as someone else mentioned.

I been trying to get my Jorte callendar to work I can turn it black ok but cant get into the menu to set it transparent as I usually have it. it just force closes the settings when I try. the callendar itself works and let me turn it black atleast.

Another app I use alot is automount which will not work on froyo I hate manually mounting as often as I connect to and from pc trying different things or editing things to my liking.
As I stated earlier I have 3 moto droids and an incredible. I only pay for 1 phone number for me so I have to *2289 to switch between handsets. I currently still run BBv1.1 on the one I have setup with my number on it. the others work for all but phone calls just on wifi. so again I really want my automount fixed or rewritten to work on froyo.

still cant get Metamorph to work. I ttied putting busybox in both system/bin and system/xbin with no luck not sure what other's are doing to make it work.

Haven't tested all my apps yet. I'll edit this post if I can when I test out more apps.
