I get force closes on album app and walkman app anyone else?

I ran the album app without any issues, but didn't run it for very long; a minute or so at least. The music app I ran last night without any issues as well, but as before, I didn't run it for long, probably about two minutes before switching over to poweramp which was included and sounds better to me. I'll try them again in a while and see if any FCs happen.

flashed last night, and it was nice. the theme is slick on the S2. the ROM is totally snappy and smooth, noticeably smoother than, say, Jellybam 5.1. the only minor annoyance i had was the keyboard graphics popup glitch on 10.1. this one reminds me of a smoother version of Slim on 4.1.2. i didn't check out FB integration though, since i keep FB smacked down in its right place (a browser window, that is). good work and thank you.

You don't need to use the facebook app to use the facebook integration. Just add a facebook inside Xperia account in settings and it will popup a browser window for you to login to your facebook account. Feel free to uninstall the facebook app. I use 'fast for facebook' myself.

anyone else having problems restoring from TiBu? it doesnt hang but it runs extremely slow. After leaving it alone for 1 hour, it only proceeded 2%. I've tried fixing perms and reflashing the rom.

Are you sure it's not stuck on an app? Try installing whatever it's stuck on from the play store and see if it continues after that.

i tried that as well. It gets stuck on all the apps. Even if I manually restore one app at a time (not batched), it gets stuck. I guess I'll have to manually install each app from the market and hope the data can be restored.

Yeah I've been dealing with the same issue... Idk if it's the included gapps or because its 4.2.2...If u try to download the apps through Google play, u will get "your device isn't compatible" message :(

Ended up flashing the fixed version after wiping caches and the settings are there now. FYI . for me removing apk with a reboot didn't work. Great ROM!

turning on USB debugging seems to have fixed the problem downloading from the play store. I'll retest TiBu now.

edit #1: that did not fix TiBu but I cannot remove my default gmail account unless you have a trick that I'm not aware of.

edit #2: I restored my old ROM and backed up my data via My Backup Pro and when I reflashed this rom, that application is restoring my data as we speak. It seems as if TiBu has a problem with this ROM but other backup applications do not.

edit #1: it's in setting accounts.
edit #2: in tibu, try going to preferences, app processing mode and change to indirect
