[Q] Android.process.media process crashes - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Let me tell you! My rooted Cappy works perfectly. I have:
JH7_OTA by designgears (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790080)
Voodoo Lagfix Kernel: http://tiny.cc/da6cr
GPS Fix (works for me!): http://tiny.cc/uhg15
FightSpits Evo BlackBar and Battery gauge: http://tiny.cc/v30gf
The only thing that wrong is when media scanner kick off I get an error message:
"The process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again..."
It does it all the time. Although, it seem not to be affecting anything.
Anyone has the same issue. Any ideas? Does it has anything to do with the voodoo lag fix because of ext4?
Thank you.

Just re-applied the voodoo lag fix but it did not solve it. I guess ext4 has nothing to do it with it?

Does anyone knows what application starts the android.process.media process? Since I'm on JH7 I wonder If I can replace it with the same one from JH6.

I had all sorts of FC's with media scanner and media after applying the GPS fix, I ended up just applying the latest cognition over the top and that fixed it. There is something in all those lib files that breaks media related stuff.

Did you have to disable voodoo lag fix before applying cognition?

Yes, the instructions are pretty clear in the Cognition thread just create the file as instructed then reboot and be really patient while it is at the AT&T screen as it takes a LONG time but it eventually boots. Then you can apply the Cognition update via ROM Manager.
I'm starting to get better at doing all these flashes and using the paid version of Titanium Backup to backup and restore apps & settings but it is still a bit of a pain with things like widgets breaking and setting all my notification sounds again etc, just have to experiment more with what settings I can restore without breaking stuff.

All calls end after 36 secs-Anyone else?

Looked at the sticky, but did not see this issue. It was happening on my cyan builds once I went to donut. I swapped, updated all, wipe, install per instructions, but the prob found me again. This time I am not the official 1.6(DRC83, 2.22.19.26I) Anyone else have this happen to them?
Fixes?
Okay, so the time ranges between 30 seconds and a minute.
From what I am seeing, I may have to revert back to stock settings and give it a go. If that works, then I will attempt to ROOT again.
I only began having this issue after I upgraded to 1.6 via cyanogen.
I swapped ROMs hoping to solve the issue ( thought it may have been b/c of the experimental/beta version)
But after being on this build for one day, I am already experiencing the issue again. I even went as far as repartitioning and wiping before I started so it would be a clean slate.
ljnick19, this is an interesting problem. What call settings are enabled for you when this happens?

I have made zero changes to the standard setup there. All is normal. I have not fully customized since I applied the ROM b/c of time constraints. Just getting basic apps back on from the market.

The HTC recovery may have messed your radio up. Try reflashing the radio.
Thanks for the input! I was worried no would have any ideas. I'll give that a shot. Now when reflashing the radio, do I need to do the whole-radio, spl, rom, wipe thing? Or just radio?
I am also using Ra v1.2.2 recovery, could that be causing issues w/ 1.6, Donut ROMs?
One more issue to add: AdvancedLauncher (processandroid.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. FC almost every time i press the home button. Made the mistake of making advanced launcher my default home button action...
For the launcher make sure you have the latest version. Then reinstall or run fix permissions. U only have to flash the radio, and the recovery should only affect flashing the roms
Thanks a mill for the help, I really thought this was going to fall flat. I'll attempt later this afternoon and post results.
For those of you that took a moment to not only read, but to assist, THANK YOU!
Results are:
I went from OTA 1.6 to Cyan 4.1.999
I wiped and repartitioned the sd as well as redoing the radio
So far, I have not experienced any FC's. Unfortunately, I have not made a lot of calls either. Crazy thing was that on the OTA build today, calls seemed to be functioning, but the FC's were excessive.
I also ran fix permissions as well as cleared the dalvik cache.
Again, thanks for the support. I hope to pass it on if I am ever able to help, it is appreciated!

[APP] One Click Lag Fix APK

Hello,
I take no credit for this at all. I saw it on the I900 post. and it works on vibrant. It gets rid of the sleep->awake lag.
NOTE: YOU MUST DO THE UNLAGFIX. DO NOT RUN THIS IF YOU HAVE NOT!

I helped RyanZA test this when he was still developing it. This is the 1.0 version of the lagfix, not the newer version, but it's great for people who aren't comfortable installing 2-3 or one of the update.zip versions
coolbeans, so I should be set on installing this apk because I've never tried applying any form of lagfix before, right?
This works great on the captivate. All un-lagfix is is simply removing the lag fix.
Great to hear I'll try this or when I'm back from school or.. I'll download it from school woo

OCLF
Ok so after hours on end of deciding what to do about the lag issues I decided to go with the OCLF 1.0. Man did I make a good choice. I was barely at 900. I am now hitting 2100+. My firmware is stock version 2.1-update1. The baseband is I897UCJF6. My phone has lightning speed now it is truly amazing. For anyone debating on whether or not to do it I say go for it.
pardon my ignorance...but this one focuses on the sleep to wake lag?
This would be fantastic, it annoys me to no end that when I hit the power button I have to wait for it to respond...
is this required to root my phone?
Im sorry i'm a noob.
or need micro sd?
If I run this, will it erase any of my personal stuff?

unlag fix?
what is the link to the unlag fix so i can do this
Works great. Asphalt loads so quick now.
I ran this last evening, and at first boot there was a massive delay of the boot screen running, it stayed on the "AT&T World Phone" screen while all of the boot audio ran. Then the screen switched to the "3G" and "Galaxy S" screens. Rebooted a second time and it's back to normal. I ran Quadrant and found went from a 885 before to a 2160 after. The I/O is running thru 3X faster than it did before the lag fix, the 2D and 3D FPS didn't seem to have changed at all. In normal use, I do see the Music player opens noticeably faster.
Nice work, VERY simple to use.
Thanks for the hard work on this one
Seems to be stuck in between lag fix and undo lag fix
Hi,
I have a captivate that I bought from Rogers.
I rooted the phone, then I applied the lag fix using OCLF lag fix.
I decided to undo the lag fix in preparation of the rogers froyo release...
It seems that the undo succeeded (no obvious errors anyways)
When I went back to the OCFL app, the oneclicklagfix v2.2+ and v1+ are unavailble in red, when I "You already appear to have another lag fix installed! (/system/bin/playlogos1 less than 5KB)"
I did a restore boot animation to restore the playlogos1 file... but nothing changed.
the undo lag fixes (2.2+ and 1) are also unavailable
I tried Uninstalling ext2 tools (option available) I got this error:
Remove EXT2 Tools failed with error:Couldn't remove library libext2_blkid.so:rm:can't remove'/system/lib/libext2_blkd.so':Read -only file system.
I've checked the internal phone storage available space: 1.69 GB.
Can someone please help? Did the lag fix undo work? is it safe to upgrade to froyo with this issue (once it is release from Rogers that is)
Thanks
My girl has that on her Vibrant and she is always saying your phone is faster and better then mine.I'm running voodoo on P8

Looks like it removed parts, but not all. I'd be hesitant to do the upgrade. Back up your apps, and use Odin(the full odin, not the AT&T one click) to flash the stock firmware. It'll wipe any remnants of the lagfix off.
i897 OCLF install help ..pls
So I downloaded oclf.2.3.0.apk. Installed EXT2 Tools, however, I get an error msg when I try to run either the OneClickLagfix V2.2+ or OneClickLagFix V1+ (which one should I be using anyway?).
"You do no have a /system/bin/playlogos1//system/bin/ playlogo file!"
I try to run Restore Boot Animation and get:
"Restore Boot Animation failed with erro: ....No such file or directory"
Please help or point me in the right direction. Thx!
BTW I'm on Froyo Cognition V2.4.1
I installed OCLF, installed EXT2 Tools, then look at my screen1st pic)OCLF2.2 is unavailable! After I click on it, i get the "no space in data folder" error(pic 2). The 3rd pic shows the space available. So what do I do? I need that fix badly!

[Q] I9000M and Voodoo or OCLF lag fix

I was reading forums about lag fix.
I wanna install one but it seems like possibility of bricking phone after installing lag fix is higher in I9000M (Bell model) than any other galaxy s models.
Is there reason for it? Can anyone share their experiences?
Also, I read somewhere that JH2 fixes the lag. Is that true?
I was doing benchmark but never got past 950 with quadrant....
I had no problem with OCLF until I did an upgrade of th app trought android market. Then OCLF didn't recognise that I had a lag fix install and I tried the option to repair the fix and it made my phone lag like hell. Then I tried to flash and repartition with odin to wipe this but I surelly made something wrong cause it bricked the phone. I had to buy another one used over kijiji.
Been using OCLF since then and I didn't had any other problem. I even uninstall it completly a few hours ago cause i want to try froyo. I think it's safe but don't try the repair option ever and try to install and uninstall the fix with the same version of the OCLF to avoid recognition problem.

Sorry i didnt really get how you bricked yours. So were you upgrading any app with lag fix? Do you mean you shouldnt upgrade any app after you installed lag fix? So to upgrade, i should uninstall any app completely then re-install new version?
Thats one downside....
I'm not sure how I bricked my phone but it's related to the re-partition option in odin and me flashing a froyo firmware. I did this with XXJPH and it was after the problem with OCLF.
What I'm sure of, is that OCLF (the app from the market) didn't recognise that my phone had a lagfix and didn't allow me to un-lag fix it. So I tried the option to repair the ext2 tools and it failed. After that the phone was really lagy and a lot of forced close happened. That why I wanted to repartition with an odin flash.
The probleme is that I tried with the only firmware (at the moment) that requires to never use this option. I should have tried to go back to UGJH2.
For OCLF i'm gonna try something. I have an update showing in the market so i'm going to install the lag fix whit my application and then I'll do the update to see if it can still see the lagfix. Maybe it was my fault in the first place. You'll have feedback in 5 min.
Ok I confirm that everything is working fine. See screenshot. I don't know what was the problem I had but it seems to work fine and there is no problem to recognise the lagfix once updated.
Hi, my SGS is now running Froyo, and all apps and settings are restored. I thought that I should reinstall OCLF 2 again to maybe get some more juice from the file system, and after installing from Market and rooting the device everything seemed fine. But during installation of the actual Lagfix, I noticed an error during the "dd" command (unable to mount device, device busy, or something like that). I was offered to send the log to the developers which I did. I tried to run it again, but get the same error message. But this time the device was hanging hard and nothing I did made the error screen go away. So I removed the battery and restarted the phone. Now when I enter the OCLF app, I can only select the "Unroot device". Both "One click lagfix" and "Undo one click lagfix" are red and not selectable.
If I look (with Linda filemanager) in the root filesystem, there are two zero length files, /dbdata and /data, both created at the time that I tried to apply the lagfix. Do I dare to remove these to and see if they are causing the deadlock?

Try removing your SD card, and then run the OCLF
If OCLF can't remove the lagfix you'll have to flash a firmware with Odin and repartition you'r internal sdcard at the same time. Just be carefull and chose a firmware that you can use to option to repartition with. Usualy all the 2.1 firmware are compatible with this option.
Then flash back with your desired froyo firmware and try CF root before you start OCLF. OCLF should not be use to root 2.2 device maybe your problem was caused by this but I doubt it.
I used OCLF with XXJPM without any problem but I flashed JPM over a clean 2.1 firmware (fresh flash with repartition option and no apps install).
Did not help. Do/Undo both still red.
I will first find a tool to backup all settings and apps before trying a re-flash. The question now is - is it worth to go through all this just to get OCLF up and running.

Definitely!! Try Titanium Backup. It can backup all your apps and data attached. Moreover it'll be able to re-install them without prompting you for every apps. You just start the backup before the flashing and start the restore after and let it go by itself. But be carefull to backup only user apps if you go from 2.1 to 2.2 or vice versa as it's gonna cause a lot of force close if you try to backup and restore system apps that are not right for your android version.
I'm running with OCLF and I can assure you that you won't regret. No more black screen before you launch an app. Installation and or uninstallation are almost instant so your update are done faster over the market.

[Q] Phone Force Closes, Just Flashed Cog 3.01

Hey guys,
I'm brand new to this stuff, and I've searched the forums to the best of my abilities and I don't see a fix yet.
I just flashed the new Cognition ROM and used Titanium Backup to "restore all apps with data". During this process, it went through my apps one by one, and asked me if I wanted to install them or cancel and not install them. I picked and chose which apps I wanted to keep and which to discard. As an aside, the apps in question were things like games/puzzles for my kid to play with, and games and such that I had downloaded from the Market to try out but forgot to uninstall.
So, after everything was restored, I started to test stuff out, and everything works...except incoming calls. I get the "The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. please try again. force close"
Is there any fix for this besides going back to stock and retrying the new ROM? If there is a solution to this a link to the thread would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for posting this, I am having the same problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, what is the best way to go back to stock?

So I use ODIN to go back to completely stock and try the ROM again, but use the "restore missing apps with data" option?
You should click restore missing apps + data. That should fix it
Sent from my phone
Maybe I'm just picky or don't trust TiBu completely, but I always restore my apps individually. Never had a problem. I've been back and forth between Cognition and darkys ROMs and (of course) stock on my AT&T Cappy.
Yup restore back to stock... and if you had issues with doing a TiBu restore with "Apps and Data" I would recommend just using "Apps Only" option in TiBu.
BUT... I would test the ROM out before doing the restore to ensure it's not a ROM issue first.
If you do not wish to go back to stock, there were quite a few suggestions in the Cog 3.0x thread on this issue. A few people in that thread simply had a bad flash. One just needed to do a good solid reboot to fix it. Another suggestion was to clear the dalvik and cache using ClockWorkMod Recovery (red version). Lastly, lots of people FC'ing with the phone process were experiencing problems due to the ogg files in phone.apk being compressed when they should not be (reportedly) and was fixed by disabling the "Call Status Tone" in settings/call settings/all calls/call status tone. One of these could be your problem.
If you wish to just try again the simple way, it would probably be your best bet to Odin back to stock, do the master clear (it seems to be a topic of debate if this is the best thing to do, but it is mentioned in a few different tutorials), and flash again. Then TiBu to restore your apps+data (as mentioned... no system data, just app data) again.
If you wish to try to fix the problem, one place to start might be a fixed phone.apk in the Cog 3.0x thread in the Development section for Captivate. It is posted by Andrewk_77 somewhere between page 85 and 90, I think (sorry, I've been trying to keep up with the reading of that thread for days in order to head off any problems I may run into with Cog 3 and it's kinda blurring together). Otherwise you'll have to try to search out other solutions in that thread.
Edit:
Found that post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10685612&postcount=861
I know that they don't seem to be describing the exact same problem, but might be worth a shot.
I reflashed Cog 3.02, didn't use TiBu to restore anything, just set it up myself again. Phone works fine now.
Though I do have a question about flashing back to stock: would I just put the stock ROM (in this case Rogers 2.2) onto the SD, and flash it using CWM? Or do I need to use ODIN, in which case I would get the AT&T ROM? Thanks for helping a newbie out.

[Q] Galaxy S upgrade to Froyo from rooted and lagfixed phone

I have a Galaxy S which i rooted and installed a lagfix on. I think it was Ryans OCLF i used for the lagfix.
I want to update to the official Froyo available from T-mobile via kies but having lots of problems getting it to connect (as everyone does). I have backed up contacts etc. I havent bothered backing up apps as i just wrote down the settings i have in each one and will just reinstall them after the upgrade.
What im planning on doing was completely resetting the phone back to factory settings and wiping it altogether so i have a clean phone to do the upgrade.
The problems im expecting or want to know how to avoid is with the root and lagfix i have installed. Will doing a factory reset or other reset (hopefully somebody can tell me another way of resetting) get rid of the root and lagfix or do i need to do something manually before wiping the phone? I know of something about the lagfix creating partitions etc so would a factory reset cancel the lagfix or would it cause all sorts of problems?
How do i go about removing the lagfix and resetting to the standard software that came with the phone? Also i have apps that require root so if i unroot the phone will this cause problems when they try to start or will they just not work and not be an issue?
Im not running any custom roms just the original one that came on the phone.
Sorry for all the questions and a rather long first post but im hoping to do this soon as the phone is running like a bag of smelly brown stuff lol.
Disable the lagfix first and then wipe. Root will not go away but I dont think that would be problem.PS. If I would be you I would just use odin to upgrade, there is plenty of good guides including how to use odin
Undo lagfix before any firmware upgrade .Then factory reset then go to Kies .
Remove lagfix as per the instructions with whatever lagfix you used .
Unroot not a problem its only a user administrative rights fix giving you greater access .
Personally i undo anything i can before an upgrade .
jje
Yes i would definitely undo everything before upgrading its just a question of how i do it.
I used Ryans OneClickLagFix app that was on the market at the time but now it has been altered because it allowed you to root and google didnt like this. I still have the original version i downloaded on the phone so is it just a case of clicking on "remove lagfix" and that will sort it?
Also if the root remains on the phone after i have wiped it, will this cause any problems when i put froyo on it? Is there not a different method or file for rooting froyo to the one i have used on 2.1?
on "remove lagfix" and that will sort it?
Correct .
jje
Also click Remove Ext2 Tools, and the go into the Scheduler changer and return it to CFG and uncheck the tweak buttons, if you messed with any of that.
In which order should i do all of those?
Should i remove the ext2 tools and return cfg settings etc to default before i remove the lagfix or after?
So just a quick update.
Something went totally wrong the other night on its own. This is before i had even thought of upgrading that night. Was sitting on facebook happily playing away when it started force closing within a few seconds of opening. Tried to open the market to reinstall the facebook app and the market force closed in a few seconds. It did this with every app including the email and phone etc. Even the RyansOCLF would forceclose so i couldnt remove the lagfix or unroot etc. All my settings for apps and launcher pro settings had disappeared. Only a couple of icons i had set on the home screen of launcher pro remained but i couldnt use any of them. All my phone logs were there and so were my texts etc but everything else had reset. When i tried to reapply some of my settings and then restart the phone, when i had finished the restart the settings i had reapplyed had defaulted again. Disaster!!
The only thing i could do was run a factory reset from the options menu. I crossed my fingers hoping this wouldnt brick the phone and alas it worked perfectly. Sorted out kies and connected the phone and installed 2.2.1 android. The lagfix had been cleared by the factory reset. I keep wondering if this is why i had so many problems with it taking ages to start up before. Maybe because the lagfix never really worked properly it never fully rebuilt the file system so was removed easily? Although the benchmarks were coming up double the speed of the fastest device on the results so not too sure how it was performing so fast with a duff lagfix...who knows. Anyway got it all up and running and rooted and lagfixed using the voodoo fix. Stuck launcher pro on setup everything. Got the apps i previously purchased reinstalled and restored any apps i wanted from titanium backup. Works like a dream and alot better memory usage aswell.
Thanks for all the help guys but it seems although i didnt follow any of the instructions you all posted (not out of choice...just because the phone physically wouldnt let me) it seemed to get the upgrade done without any problems.
