I understand that, but per the referenced post, for whatever reason the 'startActivity()' method *is* occasionally throwing an ActivityNotFoundException for a validly defined (and working on other clients) activity - **exactly** the same APK - working well on dozens (hundreds) of G1's - throwing the exception on one.
I don't know if this is possibly caused by a problem reading the manifest at startup, or for some other reason (I see other issues possibly related to reading the package - per http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/8d20aadddd2e1203?hl=en# ). Perhaps you could answer this question - I am willing to step through the source, but once java goes "native" the debugger loses all control, and when the method returns the error has already occurred. Assuming I have all the source (I do) is is possible to debug past the native call?
