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

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. 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.

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

[Q] Decad3nce's 1.1r2 Youtube/Market Broken?

Hey,
So to get to this point I flashed the entire device back to stock 1.01, setup the BN account, rooted with Monster, setup youtube/gmail/market and tested. Everything works fine. I then used CWM to install the update to 1.1. Everything seems to work except that the market fails to connect and youtube just closes upon opening. I tried to fix the permissions, but that didn't resolve it. I also tried installing the Vendor.apk, but just keep getting a message about an invalid cert. Any ideas?

Yes had the same issues with R2 and also the touchscreen worked very strangely.
So went to a backup and loaded R1, that worked great.

I had the same problem. This fixed it for me:
1. Restore to stock 1.0.1 (Don't go from 1.0)
2. Register with B&N
2. Use latest autonooter
3. After you sign in to Youtube as instructed and get Market working, reboot
4. After you reboot, you'll notice that Market works, but Youtube force closes (I think this is where the problem is)
5. Uninstall Youtube (Clear Data first), and then install the signed Youtube .apk
6. After Youtube is working, then you can apply the prerooted 1.1 update.
After many frustrating hours of trying to get Market and Youtube to work, this is what worked the first time for me

I never did R2 but did do R1. My market worked fine but youtube didn't.
Anyway, if you have Titanium Backup then go in there and delete the cache from Youtube. Then go back and log into Youtube like you did with the original Autonooter setup. I think this will fix both. At least it got Youtube to work on mine

And if that didn't work for some reason try removing Youtube and installing it from the apk somewhere around page 20 of the thread.

The apk or the flashable install? The only apk I found wasn't signed correctly. I tried clearing the cache, but still no go. Just closes immediately.

I would try the flashable one. I did push the apk on mine but I think I later delete it. Besides I think the apk was the exact same as the one I had on there
I really think deleting the cache from Titanium Backup is what did it for me. Of course if you don't have it then getting it without the market makes it a little harder
Also try logging in with gmail and then going to the market. I see where one person said that fixed that for him. You might try gtalk. I just remember seeing the post and didn't have the issue myself

Some more info for you
Never tried this but if you're still having problems after all the stuff above with youtube then you may try removing data\data\com.google.android.youtube\shared_prefs That's what someone on page 5 of the thread recommended. I think I would just copy it off the nook and then remove it to see if it works
And if nothing else works with the market then there's a flashable vending app on page 24.

Not to threadjack but has anyone see an issue with DropBox with r1/r2 of this sideload? It just hangs on downloading and never does, evening erroring out.

These and lots more grievances are described in my blog. Decad3nce answered to me that whatever my experience with r1 is irreproducible to him, then recognizes he used "wrong" kernel, decided to put signed_YouTube into his ROM r2 -- instead of more stable HQ YouTube I proposed a month ago. There's tons more of broken stuff both in r1 and r2, I won't quote the whole list here. Staying on 1.0.1 with fake build.prop is probably the best way to deal with 1.1.0 "upgrade".

What else for you is broken. You state tons and yet with the exception of the XDA app and LCD density (which I suspect is more due to the B&N changes than his 1.1), everything works as good or better than on 1.0.1

How do I clear the data and uninstall the Youtube apk? It's now a system app and doesn't show up under "manage apps" I tried installing it again as an update but that didn't work. I uninstalled the update, but it still shows up under my "Extras". It just fails to open.
Market and Gmail are working fine.

USB debugging doesn't work with this update. It keeps turning off which is a real pain in the butt. That on top of the XDA app being borked was enough for me to restore my old build.

USB Debugging and Market....
I found usb debugging turned itself off once connected to PC so I'm using adb over wifi for the moment. Otherwise, USB Debugging can keep itself running without problem and button savior works fine.
The newer market(vending.apk is about 2MB) doesn't work on 1.1 preroot. It worked on the first boot but after first app was downloaded/installed the market FC and would never open again. However, the old market(file size is about 1MB) came with autonooter works with 1.1 preroot. So if you've updated the market, try the older version.
Not sure about youtube, mine works but very slow when opening videos, takes forever to buffer

I had the same problem on mine. What I did was to open Titanium Backup, find Youtube under Backup / Restore, and do a Wipe Data on it. At that point Youtube started to work again and I had to log into my channel as in the original autonooter

bitnerd, that worked like a charm. Simple enough. Thanks.

No problem. If you have other things that you can't fix otherwise it may work there too. I've noticed one or two apps that behaved strangely and then were fixed by clearing the cache data

[Q] Can't install apps from android market

I have a Galaxy S I9000M, just came back from repair at the Montreal Repair Depot.
Had some trouble unlocking it to run on Fido network, but finally got that working using Helroz's unlock tool (so, phone is rooted) and unlocked).
Used it for a little while (about an hour) installed a couple of apps, and now, suddenly, I cannot install apps from the Android Market. When I try to install, the app goes through the process of downloading, but then it does nothing. I get no error message, no notice of install failing, the app download indicator disappears from my notification area, and the app is not installed.
Has anyone else run into this issue?
Any idea of a fix? I have powered off/on, no change. I would prefer to avoid having to factory reset, but will do so if absolutely necessary.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Having the same exact problem here...

same issue

Same thing is happening to me as well. It started after I rooted my phone using super one click root.

I also used super one click root on my phone, but the if that's the cause of the problem, then it doesn't cause it right away. I was able to install several apps after rooting, then suddenly I couldn't install anything.
I have read that for some people, unmounting the SD card will work. i had an external SD card installed, but i had that in before I downloaded apps that installed properly. For me, unmounting (and removing) the external SD card did not have any effect on my problem.
For what it's worth, I'm not running any special ROm or anything - just standard Froyo 2.2 (JL2) as released by Samsung for the Bell I9000M (I didn't upgrade, it shipped back from repair with JL2 installed).

Same here

let the market update the new version of maps and itll work. its workin now for me.

How can I force Maps to update?

Just some info guys: it seems to be a known issue. Checked the help in the main Market page: http://market.android.com/support/bin/static.py?page=known_issues.cs .
It's under download and installation issues. Please report it if you're having the same problem so they can fix it faster.

Ok the problem seems to be fixed by downloading/updating the Google Maps app. If it still doesn't work make sure to:
-clear data on the market app
-restart your phone
-update Google map and let it install fully

Galaxyluv, can you tell me how to force Maps to update itself? I cannot find any option to make it update

I am not really sure, mine showed that it needed an update. Maybe you can try to uninstall/install Google Map again and make sure to clear data on the market application FIRST.

After clearing my Market cache, and uninstalling market updates, market re-updated itself, and I can now install apps again (who knows fo how long, though). Hopefully, it will stay and i will stay happy.

Under Manage Applications I can't uninstall Market Updater for the above solution.
Any help?

I personally force stopped the market App, cleared the data in Manage Applications (btw the Cache button is grayed out) and then restarted the Market app (Agreed on the terms blah blah) and still get the same issue.
Btw in Manage Applications -> All I can see a Market Updater package but I can't delete it or force stop it (both options are grayed out).

[Q] Titanium Backup issues with restoring apps

Hello, I have been experiencing a weird issue with restoring apps with Titanium Backup Pro that I have never had before. My captivate had Firefly 3.0 on it and apps were being backed up every night. My phone started freezing and restarting, so I flashed to stock, master cleared, then reloaded Firefly 3.0. I use Titanium backup pro to restore the apps it had backed up, and it seems to work fine. Once they are all done, I can access them and use them, whatever.
The issue arises after I restart the phone; some of the apps just go away from the app drawer. They are not on my sd card, so that can be ruled out. For instance, Angry Birds got restored fine, and I could play it until I restarted the phone, then it just went away. Same with Flikie HD, and many others. I look in the application manager and some apps just have the generic android icon and their names are in the format "com.android......". These are the apps that will not work.
This has never happened to me before and there seems to be no rhyme or reason for it. There is no pattern for what apps it does or does not restore. Also, unknown sources are allowed and Titanium Backup says the backup files are fine, no errors at all. I have gone through the process of flashing to stock, master clearing, reflashing quite a few times now, but the same thing every time, with the same apps it seems.
Thanks for taking the time to read my long problem, but I wanted to be as descriptive as possible. Any ideas would be greatly appreciate.

Having the came problem with Apex 8.1. Any ideas?

Unfortunately, no. I just ended up taking note of which apps screwed up on restore, and then just got them from the market. Lost the data that accompanied them, but oh well.

TIBU update
I just had this same problem but had luck by first updating TIBU from the market. Then uninstall the offending app(s) and re-install from the market. After install, just restore data only through TIBU, and voila! Worked for me but as usual, ymmv. This happened to my Angry Birds and was not very happy to lose my save game data but it all worked out in the end. Hope this helps.

This was a known issue when installing a ROM with an incompatible version of CWM. Just verify which version of clockwork mod you have and what the flashable .zip requires to load properly. May or may not be it, just figured I'd throw it out there.

Huh, I never got the option to reload only the data, it was weird. After I installed the apps from the market, the option to restore the app or data was gone totally.

I don't think that is the issue, thanks though. I have restored apps on Firefly 3.0 with the same CWM with no issues, so I doubt that is it. I appreciate the reply though.

[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:

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.

Install, do a factory reset, set the governor, and see if it does the trick.

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.

Yea, im on mac, so ncd.

OK so now my process.com android.mms keeps closing on me, effectively i have no MMS.
Anyone a solution?
I have reset Darvik Cache and normal cache. Fixed permissions. Uninstalled the app through ROM toolbox, then reinstalled the ROM. Still no joy,MMS just will not run.
Ideas?

Or should i just install Marvel v12?

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.
