[Q] SHOstock3 user question: Gmail launch issue

[jtschanz]

I'm just a noob although I've been reading XDA for years, but I don't post a lot of silly questions so I can't post in the dev sections!

First, I love SHOstock3 - it's like having a new phone - everything about it is just awesome. Kudos to shoman, jeboo, and others for this awesome ROM :good:

I'm having an issue with gmail launching that others have reported in the SHOstock3 thread, but I haven't seen any solution to it. It seems that not many people are having this, and sho looked into it but there wasn't any obvious problem. Basically, at times, gmail doesn't launch from the notification area, or from the application icons. Sometimes it causes a TouchWiz Home crash but most of the time it just doesn't do anything.

I've experimented around and I can reliability re-create this:
Whenever gmail is not running and I receive a notification, gmail launches correctly when I click on it.
However whenever gmail is already running and then I click a notification, nothing happens
If I force close gmail and then get another notification, it works correctly


Attaching two logcats. The first one is when everything works correctly - I receive a notification, click on it, and gmail launches.
The second is when it doesn't work. I think the error happens around line 3720:

Anyone have a solution for this, or any ideas what is the issue? Thanks!!!

Damn - no one else is experiencing this?

Maybe I just need to use this thread to increase my post count until I can post in the dev threads

It's been covered a bit in the shostock3 thread. I think a fix might have been to delete the Gmail apk and download it from the market.

Thanks red. Yes I read all of the posts in the SHOstock thread but it didn't seem to be resolved. I have tried uninstalling and installing from Play store, clearing cache, re-flashing, etc but so far nothing seems to work. Curious whether others have seen this. Also it's a good opportunity to learn a bit more about logcat and android debugging.

Thanks

I still get it occasionally. I just double tap the Gmail icon and it seems to launch.

I have an inverted gmail apk (although a bit outdated) that I use with shostock3 which never gives me any problems. Let me know if you want it.
