Hi @sdjustin, Can you post whatever you see in LogCat at the time of the crash? That'll help us tons in debugging. Mark

This line suggests that you have an unknown color specified in your Button Menu screen: ComponentInfo{com.devynmediadudezone/com.devynmediadudezone.BT_screen_menuButtons}: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown color Colors need to be hex values, and need to have a # in front of a six digit number. So, it looks like this: #000000 or #FFFFFF for Black and White, respectively. Here's a start of a list of colors: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colors.asp Check that out in the screen for your Button Menu, and let us know what happens! Mark

In the assets folder of your download package, there is a file called BT_Config.txt. In that file is a line called dataURL. Can you send that (or the whole file) to me at MrkFleming at gmail dot com so I can check it out? Also...try syncing your BT copy of the configuration data with your local copy, and then running the app again. Here's a video that shows how: Quick Clips : Sync Your Configuration Data File https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp2vL1XCPC0 Hang in there...we'll get this nailed! Mark

Thanks! I have emailed and synced my configuration data

Just sent you a response! You have this line in your config file: "navBarBackgroundColor":"ffffff" It needs to have a # in front of the FFFFFF. This can be fixed in your control panel for that screen. Mark

Mark, great job on diagnosing this! You are a one in a million.

Fortunately between LogCat and David's code comments, there are lots of clues on what's going on! Turns out the missing # was indeed the issue.

Well Done Mark!!
