Clockworkmod cannot mount internal sdcard problem and the solution.
Good news first. You might not need to reflash your device. Bad news. You need to know what the hell you are doing to fix it. I recently stumbled into a nasty little problem and I'm apparently not the first and probably not the last. I wanted to update my CM10 nightly. After booting into clockworkmod recovery I had no access to any storage on the device. The apparently notorious E: cannot mount /sdcard problem. My first guess was a broken sdcard in the device as the external sdcard did cause some issues and in fact might have been broken.
Top 2 reasons why apps force close on your new cyanogen installation
A big problem and two simple solutions that cover most force-close problems with fresh cyanogen installations.
You have just upgraded your shiny phone to cyanogen and out of a sudden the new freedom is brutally stopped by force closing apps all over the phone. It is terribly annoying and it's mostly easy to fix. The somewhat obvious solution is to clear the caches and reset the phone. This however is a pretty drastic step and in many cases it's simply not required or it's not required and will not fix the problem.
Microsoft starts beta for on{X} for Android. And it's a great toy.
Microsoft recently started on{x} for Android. The app is kind of a rule based programmable scheduler. A rule can basically be broken down to a trigger and an action. What makes this extremely flexible is the programming interface. You are not just limited to predefined rules or rules that you can 'click together'. In fact rules are defined in JavaScript on the on{x} website. They can then be pushed to your phone or shared with others.
Chrome 19 syncs tabs across devices
Chrome 19 syncs tasks among registered devices. Required is - as usual - to register that device with your google account. I always failed to see why this is a specific handy feature. But since I'm using the beta of chrome mobile this is actually a pretty handy feature if you're leaving home or the office and want to continue reading within your tab chaos.
You just don't get 'open tabs' from another machine. You actually get a list of machines and their open tabs. So you can pull tabs specifically from various machines. IMO a much better feature than just sync'ing them.
