lots of force closes - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am running cyanogens 3.6.8.1 with the palm pre theme. I am getting alot of force closes on certain programs. I have been getting these force closes Since I updated from 3.6.5
The programs are twidgit lite the Htc muic app and touchpal which is included in the palm pre theme. last is sherapa .
Ive wiped and gone back to other builds. I did wipe before I did a restore.
I was wondering if there is a way to repair these ?
thanks ahead of time for any replies !

Have you tried reinstalling them? That could be a problem, or if there new programs or new updates, it could be the actual app itself.

Run "fix_permissions" in Recovery. It's a problem created when something gets broken, and they can't access their data connections needed to run. I had the same problem.
If all is lost, you will need to reinstall them.

did u wipe before you updated?? worked for me after i tried it

I always wipe before i flashing an updated Rom . I dont wanna bring over and problems from the last build. I will try a permissions fix first and then a reinstall if that doesnt work.

If all else fails... Do a backup (Backup for Root users). Clear your EXT partition if you have one, wipe, flash. Should do the trick.

Force Close of com.google.process.gapps

Need some help with an error. I've seen a couple of posts about this, but no one was giving their situation/phone info to make any help effective. So, here goes.
I got a new SD card (bigger, and class 6). I used Backup (root) from the Market to save everything, partitioned my SD card, upgraded the partition to ext3, wiped my phone, re-installed Cyanogen's 4.2.13 (I use apps2SD) and the Community Hero Mix Theme (Reg Launcher and Stericsson's Lock Screen). Also reset the Radio Image, and have 2.22.19.261. Restored everything with the Backup app, then re-booted.
All apps are installed (successfully tested about 20). After Auto-Sync, I turned off syncing and ran fix_permissions, then re-booted. Gmail app's cache was cleared on a whim.
Now, whenever I go to download a Market update, I get the com.google.process.gapps Force Close. Unable to update any apps, although the whole list is there. Nandroid restore fixes everything, but I noticed my phone running MUCH faster after the wipe, so I'd like to get this figured out. Have tried the above process 3 times, but no success. And, like they say, Insanity is trying the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.
you should start fresh anyway and next time please here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=507
After wipe prob should be gone.
Next time, please post your questions in the Questions and Answers forum.
Moved.
After wipe prob should be gone.
Um, unfortunately that's a no. The wipe seems to be causing the problem. As I said, I've re-done this whole process 3 times. Every time I come back from the wipe, I have the force close. Only nandroid gets rid of the problem. And nandroid returns the lagginess issues.
Could try another rom like dwang or superD1.2 and see if you get the same errors.. I was getting gapps forceclose and tried many times finally I tried another rom "superd" and been happy since then! Stable and greeat speed
You just need to uninstall market updates in settings --> manage applications.
By the way, I would suggest not using backup for root users, usually the work required to come back from that is the same as from a fresh wipe.

I'm very familiar with manage applications uninstalls, however, the Market Updater app does not give un-install as an option. I can Clear Data, Clear Cache, Clear defaults (these three are grayed out), or I can Force Stop, which doesn't seem to do anything. Any other ideas?
New Symptom
As a result (I'm sure) of changing SD cards when the old one had all of my apps on it, I have about 10 apps that were protected that did not transfer by the Backup process. My phone thinks I have them, the Market thinks I have them, but I can neither uninstall them (option grayed out in the Market and they are non-existant in the Manage Applications menu), nor can I update them (as the Market seems to think I already have them). The shortcuts are of course broken, and the "Open" button in the Market is also grayed out.
Any ideas?
PS-I've tried clearing the Market cache, but didn't help.

Never mind, I popped my old SD in and used Titanium Installer to take care of my apps problem.
Still looking for help on the force close. Even does it straight after a factory wipe with vanilla 1.6!
I'm betting the Market Updater is the culprit, but can't seem to find a way to get rid of it.
Thanks in advance!

Hi All!
I'm new to this forum, but I registered because I had exactly the same problem. I've updated to the latest CyanogenMod 4.2.13. Since then I had the same crash ever since, i whipped about 4 times and downgraden step by step to 4.2.12 and 4.2.11 which all worked perfectly before. But now i had the same problem.
So i went back a few steps and reinstalled the HTC image which was needed to use the google apps again. When I installed this one. Then i booted it, hey everything works! Nice, reinstall Cyanogen 4.2.13 and just whiped it again (who cares ) and tadaaa, everything works.
Hope it works for you as well!
Good luck!
i was having the same issue when i was trying to install Cyanogens 4.2.13 coming from a different rom also. i found the solution here... hxxp://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/Operating-System-Software/the-process-com-process-gapps-has-stopped-unexpectedly-on-CM-s-4/td-p/288743
(don't know if i can post direct links to other sites so i just replaced the t's with x's at the beginning of the URL)
basically what you gotta do is flash cm-4.2.9.1 1st and after you sign in let it sync, then reboot and flash cm-4.2.13 over with no wipe and everything should be fine. let me know if this helps. it worked for me
Now, whenever I go to download a Market update, I get the com.google.process.gapps Force Close. Unable to update any apps, although the whole list is there.

Had the same problems.. started last night when I tried to use my VPN on the phone to sign in to Market.. once signed in.. google accounts asked me to sign in again..(verify account) big mistake.. as it seems that it has registered me twice on the phone somehow..
anyway.. the FC on sync came thick and fast.. was out last night.. so couldn't actually take the time to check what was going on..
today did some research..
for me.. after trying a few processes.. I have gone the route of using Titanium backup and freezing the Gmail applications.. I never used it anyway.. as used the stock HTC email program..
happy to report that the FC on sync's have now stopped..
Edits: nope bloody thing.. got a few this morning on bootup.. and it seems market is dead for me..
I have reformatted the card and wiped all cache's.. but still got problems..
hesitant to do a hard reset at the moment as using the phone in China.. So dont actually know what it will wipe out if I reset it?
Can someone chime in here for me..
so the question is.. if i do a hard reset.. will I lose the actually settings that make it hook in to the phone network?
and I suppose from this we get.. how do I pull all of these settings out of the phone to reuse them again after the reset?
Thats a HTC EVO with stock rom
few specs on the software..
Firmware : 2.1 update 1

Edit: after searching the net for the last few days for a fix.. its seems to be a Android bug.. no amount of wipes and resets put me back on track..
So in the end I went for a fresh Rom... Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo - [RLS 5 - 01/07/2011] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793471

Insufficient Storage Available

Hi All,
I got the above error when trying to perform market update for following applications:
1) Fring
2) N1 Torch Light
However, I still have 55% left for my internal memory and 58% for my SD memory. The strange thing is I still can download and install new apps.
My phone is rooted with latest CyanogenMod installed. I think the problem only started today after I had done the below:
1) Download a "build.prop" and push to my phone
2) This item claims to improve the HSDPA speed
3) After installed and tested no different
4) Then I extracted the "build.prop" from Cyanogen zip file and push back to my phone
I'm not sure whether this problem is related to the above but my other function is working fine. I even tried to reboot my phone and still same problem :-(
Same problem here on both bakedgoods 1.1 and desire a16 just started happening today. Same apps as well.

Yours also happened to Fring and N1 torch? I just wonder will it happen to others apps as well (which needed to update too) and I don't think is a good idea to always need uninstall and install again
happening on 5.0.4.1 with torch. for kicks I uninstalled another app and tried to update torch again. no luck.
completely uninstalling torch and then installing the new version solved my problem.
There was no way I was out of space seeing as I have a 2gb partition on my sd card for apps

2gb?? Damn, man. Well, that's a definitive indication you're in NO WAY out of space (I hope). I've run into this problem too. An uninstall/reinstall always fixes it for me, as well. But the other day it happened with RDC by xtralogic. Now, that's no N1 Torch in terms of setup, so I just backed-up the currently installed (old) version via Titanium...then: Market>RDC>Uninstall>Reinstall>Titanium>Restore>RemoteDesktop>Data Only
Worked like a charm.
Mine just started doing this with Nimbuzz and Smart Keyboard Pro...
All I did was install a fresh CM 5.0.5.1 (Full wipe) and then did a Tittanium app backup..
EDIT Unistall / reinstall and all is fine...
Turn on the app2sd from the 'Settings - applications - apps2sd'

Yeah I got the error and for kicks, increased my partition from 512->2gb and still got the error
That error is misleading, it happens or certain apps only.
To update: uninstall and then install those apps.
Has anyone found a fix that doesn't require uninstalling and reinstalling the app? For the most part, that works fine, but for one of my games, I lose all my progress if I do this. I've tried backing the game up via Titanium backup, uninstalling, installing the new version, then restoring data only from Titanium, but that just seems to make the new version crash back to Launcher every time I try to start it. Starts just fine if I don't restore the data, but then I lose all my progress.
The game actually runs fine for me on the version I have installed, so I don't really need to update, but it gets a little old having the market constantly telling me that I should update it.

Back it up with titanium back up. Uninstall it. Reinstall from Market. Then use Titanium Backup to restore data only for that app.
Happening with the latest shake them all. Sadly, the 30 seconds I spent setting it up has to be repeated

As mentioned, I've tried that. For some reason, restoring the data from the previous version causes the new version to crash on start up every time.
This thread really helped me. Do we know if Google is looking into this problem/bug?
Turn on the app2sd from the 'Settings - applications - apps2sd'
I try it and now i can install App from Market. Thank you.

market Delays

Hi everyone,
I got a little problem with my market. When i try t install apps there is a delay in showing the app content, the delay is about 32 seconds.
Ok no wipe is helping i wiped everything including SD. But i think it's because the google restore off apps.
Here is a logcat http://pastebin.com/rBYNK9sd i don't know where to look at so if someone can give a look?
I also started a thread at cyanogenmod > http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?/topic/2589-market-slow/ But i didn't get reallt help there so i'm trying here.
I'm running CM 5.0.6 Fresh install
Seems to be an issue with the Market itself. Been seeing the same thing here with both my N1 running Enoms and my partners stock MT3G
it always worked till i installed a fresh install then everything broke, if its the market then a wipe should had fixed it, right? or am i wrong here. anyways it really annoying the market doesn't work well anymore.
If you look at CM forum you will see that after a fresh isntall using another google account doesn't cause a problem. so i'm 99% sure it's because of the google restore off apps. how can i delete that back-up.
I saw in settings you could disable it and delete everything but that didn't work.

new market force closing?

The new market keep force closing...can't even get it to open. I tried clearing data and cache and that didn't help. Uninstalled updates and downloaded an early version of the market and that one tries to open but FC's too. Running Miui 1.8.5. Any ideas on how to fix this. Annoying.
Did you ever get this going? I am having the same issue, tried all I can think of.
I had this problem too one one nook (have access to 2, both on miui). Only solution so far was rolling back using titanium and the renaming market updater with .bak to disable it. If i didn't market would update and fc again.
Strange thing is - the other nook is still fine and is on same market release as the other was when it was force closing.
Hoping for a better solution.
I dont like the new market, its design sucks and it lags terribly..
The solution is easy. Use Titanium Backup to remove the otherwise impossible to remove Market Updater application.
Then go into your System > Applications menu and choose to uninstall updates for Market.
This way you can use the old, properly working market, without worrying bout the OS to redownload the new one.
I hope I was able to help you.

[Q] P970 with Marvel v11 ROM becomes slow

AS the title says, phone has become really slow. Previously had no problems.
I did change the CPU settings in ROM management toolbox which seems to me to be the culprit, i changed it back but the phone is still really slow at loading app icons on homescreen and in app drawer.
I have reset permissions, scanned for viruses, cleared cache, etc. But still slow.
Anyone an idea what to do besides boot into recovery and resinstall Marvel? or is that really the best way????
Cheers in advance.

Did you want to try the Marvel 12 Beta?
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390362690511177071
Install, do a factory reset, set the governor, and see if it does the trick.
I recommend installing the Xperia Launcher 2.05b. Hopefully Tantrums will be including this in v12 Final:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2103403
Your issue may also be related to a specific app you've installed. I ran into issues with a particular app after an automatic upgrade, and it took me a while to figure out the culprit. I contacted the developer and he was quick to fix the issue, but this stuff does happen. Many times you can figure out what's going on by reading the "1-star" reviews for your installed apps on the Play Store. I would message the developer if you find something.
Cheers.
I was thinking of installing v12, but thought id wait until it was officially released.
I guess i will uninstall all apps, to see if it makes a difference, then if not i guess i will reinstall v11 for now.
Actually, thats just too slow, i will ust reinstall v11 ROM.
Thanks.

If you are on Marvel11 and want to reinstall Marvel11 cause you want to change anything in the settings or just cause there did anything go wrong just reboot to recovery and start the Aroma install package of Marvel11 without any whippe at all, that's all, should fix everything.

Yea thats what i did. All was ok.
but then i started to clean up files on my phone. I think i deleted some files i should not have and now i have a phone that i cant enter into recovery mode. It just boots up and shows the coloured X from the X-peria bootloader (for some reason cos i didnt install it) asks for SIM unlock, which i do, but it only shows a handful of apps, standard ones i imagine, but no fast rebbot, or ROM toolbox, or CWM app. So then how do i now enter recovery??????
AHHHHHHHH!!!!! LOL
Ah i found a possible way out of this conundrum i found myself in i think
i had access to play store, so as i couldnt see ROM toolbox in apps, i redownloaded it so i could enter recovery mode.
So that i have done, now i just need to see what i have when the phone has rebooted, but i think that will have worked.
I think i must have deleted the data files or something when cleaning up the phone :/
Yea. looks like i have to reinstall all apps. No biggy then. Phew!!
Just a little reminder: If you use Windows 'adb reboot recovery' will do the trick too.

A fresh install with v12 Beta will take less time than you've already spent. Just have your additional apps (outside the Play Store) in a folder on the SD card.

Should i preform a factory reset as well? I ask because i am on Mac, so performing any procedures where i need to hook up the phone to a computer, although not impossible, is a bit of a task. Will installing Marvel v12 actually fix the issue in itself?????
I have actually installed Go SMS Pro and Handcent, which work in terms of being able to retrieve MMS, but it hasnt done anything to fix the stock/Optimus G MMS app.
Hehe, I should install Marvel 12 i know, I am just holding back a bit.

I do a full factory reset after any ROM install.
I use Go SMS too. I liked Pansi soooo much, but the last update continually crashes on my Marvel ICS.
Remind me please, if the full factory reset means i will need a PC to fix anything, or if i can perform a full factory reset and install either Marvel v11 or v12 without needing a computer?

You install the ROM, then you do the factory reset.
The factory reset returns things to a raw ROM state, getting rid of anything you've added since installing the ROM. So yes, it will wipe anything you download from the Play Store. I do it immediately after installing the ROM.
Put Marvel 12 Beta on the SD card (root directory), and any non-Play Store items you'd like to install in a folder on the card.
