[Q] Forcefully remove few home screens - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi people...
As you are aware Galaxy S has maximum of 7 home screen and it can be easily removed or added from EDIT option or NEW pinch grid edit option.
But my problem is, that i am not able to remove home screen panels, every time i try to do it the twlauncher hangs and ask for force close.
Surprisingly right now i am having 9+1 (hidden) home screens.
What should i do now?? ...i am ignoring formatting option.
Regards

Come on please reply something i am still stuck with 10 home-screens and i guess because of that my phone hangs frequently.
i don't want to format my phone because all the downloaded contents like Hero of Sparta, Splinter Cell, Bother in arms 2 and similar downloaded game data will be lost + all the saved/played game will be lost too.
OR
Please suggest me some good application which can backup my all apps + its settings or saved data.
Regards

Issue solved. No help from here, i did a format.
Please close this thread.

android.process.acore crashing

So it doesn't matter what radio/rom/custom kernel I load on my phone right now, the phone keeps crashing (not rebooting, just a popup that crashes programs) with "Sorry! The prossess android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try agin."
logs are attached, any advice is greatly appreicated. I'm curently deployed in Afghanistan, and plan to be at Black Hat in two weeks, I would prefer to have a working Nexus One with me, not my touch pro.. geek cred depends on it.. please give me some suggestions.
thanks,
HattZ
This link mentioned something about the possibility of a corrupt file system on the SD card causing these issues. I didn't think it likely, but removed SD card, cleared cashe and dalvik, rebooted, same errors on boot. http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f28/g1-crashed-android-process-acore-17386/
#$% changed two things at once. Did a restore of whatever OS/build/mod I was using two months ago, and pulled my SIM card... no problems... except for wave secure locking it.
replaced sim card, remembered pin for wave secure.. phone was running modaco custom desire port r21 firmware 2.1-update1... custom build and kernel.
.... no ideas... on the root cause. I'm almost wondering if it was a poorly seated sim card and contacts on the sim card being junk..
So 20 minutes later... succsessful
android 2.2
baseband 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.12_7
kernel 2.6.34-925mV-BFS-OC-Monks-070110
build FRF91 MRCr21/CM6 mod by rodriguezstyle
running just fine. still no idea what was causing the problem, but it's solved.. enough flashings later.. moral of the story, always have a good backup when $%^&ing with your phone.

It's the home launcher running out of memory, isn't it?
I got rid of my issues with "android.processes.acore has crashed" by disabling screen cache in adw launcher settings...
I'm a widget freak, and I do like a large home..
After setting up cm6 and importing my own adw settings, I kept getting the .acore crash.
Flicking a few times back and forth between screens and scrolling the widgets (pure) would cause the error time and time again until I disabled that. It hasn't crashed since.

I think mine was related to a database that was corrupt and wasn't being erased when I was flashing new images, it was however cleared when I did a restore of an old image.
the excerpt from the logs, it errors out trying to change a DB:
I/ContactsDatabaseHelper( 690): Upgrading from version 105 to 309

You pretty accurately described the situation I was in, though. I'm using LauncherPro Plus with cm6-rc1 and was getting that crash consistently and randomly. Same scenario otherwise. I've been toggling settings & widgets all day trying to figure out a reliable fix. Changing that setting has done wonders for my issues. Thank you.
It may have not been related to the poster's original issue, but you saved me a ton of aggravation and the integrity of a couple small breakable items on my desk.
xperia x10 android.process.acore crash
I believe it has to do with the way my xperia x10 was reading the filing system on my 8Gb micro sdhc card
I renamed my music albums via the usb connection "while the phone was on" in ascending order and it seems the music apk: "music play" play list got corrupted or soemthing
I reopened the apk and let it reorder its self and voila everything seems to work as normal again

[Q] What Bloatware have you frozen/uninstalled without incident?

On my LG Revolution My SystemPanel App shows about 350 MB memory and 12 GB on the SD card. It also cites System Storage 1 GB, Application Storage 1.5 GB and Cache 193 MB. The SuperBox app shows 1.5 GB "Phone" memory. With about 25 applications "active" and several widgets installed, I still have 134 MB memory left
So far I've found the battery life not great, definitely have to charge during the day with 4lte and wifi on.
Noticed a bunch of the bloatware widgets took up memory even when I deleted them from the homescreen. Used TitaniumBackup to Freeze
Apps I've frozen with no apparent problems (yet).

Ya, coming from the incredible, even stock I would have 100-150 mbs of ram, and rooted I'd have usually 180-210. This phone, having the same amount of ram as that, will be anywhere from 30-100 usually. That's some pretty bad bloat.
In 3g only network, the phone actually has a really good battery(compared to the incredible), I can go all day without root so far, the baddest part is the % i lose just sitting there without use and the screen off, it sucks.
And have you been able to assign Google where Bing had priority before? I have the bing search relatively good, just really laggy.
Thanks for this list! I had started to experiment but kept it on the safe side since we don't have a recovery yet.
I noticed that there is quite a bit more listed in Bloat Freezer over Titanium which was my first freeze app. I tried Bloat Freezer when I noticed that some things that were frozen were still showing running processes.
A couple of notes to add on to this -- I'm running Go Launcher and cannot use any of the LG specific widgets, Friends+, What's New, etc. but:
What's New is still running and has functionality beyond the What's New widget. I forget the details but I think on a missed call I got the What's New app to display missed call, sms and email count from the pull down alerts. It was late and I didn't think twice about it until the next day (which is what prompted me to find out what was still running in the background even though I'm using Go Launcher.
I'm not sure exactly which Verizon app is responsible, but i recently unfroze all Verizon specific apps while experimenting and I was prompted to try the new data usage widget from Verizon. When I originally froze all these apps, that widget had stopped working in stock home. So it is not dependent on your home/launcher, but it is dependent on one of the VZ apps.
I'm tempted to just go down your list and freeze everything all at once, but maybe I'll do it in small batches and report back any findings.
Again, thanks for the list!
Wow, that is a ton of frozen bloatpops... didn't think too much of it but that's more apps than i had on my Inc. total on CM.. lol.

I also just completely uninstalled bing search + bing voice.
I seem to be experiencing a couple issues:
1. Search button did not remap to Google Search... so it does nothing at all
2. Lockscreen music controller seems to control a separate instance of the notification area music controller
Avail: 154MB +29MB in 4
(bah!)
I've gone through most of these without a problem -- the last one is VZWSERVICE which is now repeatedly popping up:
Sorry!
The application com.vzw.push.vzwservice (process com.vzw.push.vzwservice) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Every time I click on "force close" it just pops up again. I'm about to pull the battery.

Rebooted OK.
I'll add a few more to the list:

I'm curious though what purpose do these serve:
SNS
VZW SMS Filter
VZWService
I have them frozen and already recieved an SMS, so no hindrance there. I recognize the SNS icon from when I first got the phone (one of the widgets I think). I can't see any effect of having them frozen other than the obvious of course.
Be careful with these, I used Bloat Freezer to freeze a small subset of the apps listed in this thread (and none others) and now don't have a home screen. I turn on the phone, slide to unlock, and then the screen is black (normal indicator icons at the top). Holding home gets me to a recent apps page with no recent apps. Nothing else does anything, I can't even turn off the phone without taking the battery out. Any ideas?
the ones i posted can be frozen with no incident.
of course i use a custom launcher (launcher pro) so i can't attest to the home screen working
however, after freezing some other apps listed in other posts my bluetooth wouldn't work...
I use Go Launcher and I was able to add a few to the lists above:
Tunewiki
Sync Service
Mobile IM
Messaging Widget
Messaging (I use GO SMS)
Does anyone know what the LG and Verizon hidden menus processes are?
System seems a lot faster now and has better battery as far as I can tell.
Only issue I can think of, is that When I have my BT earpiece on and connected, I can not seem to get music out of the 3.5mm jack and into the car's aux.
Anyone else have this problem? What is the solution?
What wifi tether is everyone using? My market won't update. So if anyone can post an apk that'd be great.
Also don't freeze autorun 1.0 i think it is. That is the connectivity option for our usb and hdmi slots. Without that it'll work but you can't change the options ever. So you'll be stuck with hdmi off or on and usb charge only cause i think it always starts as.

OP:...just a thought, take it or leave it haha
It would be greatly appreciated if you could update the list every so often with new ones added throughout the thread. Then maybe this could become a sticky at some point.
Also:
Anyone else realize Latitude and Twitter for LG doesnt show up in Ti Backup yet is running every once in awhile.... or maybe it's just my phone?
Um I don't even remember twitter being on my phone, I use bloatfreezer and pretty much froze everything on the OP list. I don't think there is to much else that you want to freeze with out risking your phone

If you use the stock launcher and then freeze Home 2.2.2 then you will have no home screen.
I use Go launcher EX so I was able to freeze home with no problems.
Only thing I can think of is a factory reset. But I'm sure others have better ideas.
I don't think Twitter for LG (or anything for LG) is active without the LG Home active.
I left lg home active, twitter doesn't show up anywhere in bloatfreezer. I have nothing on my phone that even refers to twitter.
Yea i'm not really sure where it's at. I think it's a sub-app(?) of something like one of those facebook/twitter/etc feed widgets. But every so often it shows up in my "running" folder on Go Launcher EX, and I used to see it in my task killer when I had one but i've never seen it on a list anywhere else.
rogue bloat? a new age in ruining our phones haha
As major said, and from what i've seen he's right 99% of the time, I haven't seen it since I froze/.bak LG Home. I'll post a screen shot if I end up seeing it again though
is there a reason that we can not just delete the .apk files from /system/app?

we're pretty much able to do that....but the hesitation has been because we have not had a recovery system and it's risky to start deleting any files at all.
However....a recovery system has been through testing lately(yesterday/today) and was released. There's no saying it's perfect but I haven't heard of anyone having big issues. So if you are comfortable with the recovery system available, delete away.

I will pick one up tonight and see what I can do once I get root and CWM on there. I will post my findings.

Hopefully you have this fixed already if not:
not sure if this will work but...connect your phone as a USB and hope it connects as a Mass Storage. Go into data/app and delete the Titanium Backup .apk
No idea if this will work, but it's possible that with TiBackup gone it will unfreeze everything.

[Q] Severe Lag issues with stock GB ROM - how to diagnose?

Hello!
Recently I am having a problem, which started with only the calls being "lagging" - meaning, that I press the green button to dial (or swipe the finger left to right) and the phone would wait anywhere between 3-10 seconds before it starts to actually dial the number.
Later, the problem worsened - now sometimes it would take even 30 seconds, and in addition - when exiting applications (even light such as EZ PDF reader), I would stare at an empty desktop for around 10-20 seconds, BEFORE the icons start loading
This is not funny anymore.
Any suggestions as to how to go about diagnosing the cause?
You could try using an app like Watchdog to monitor which apps you have installed that are using too much CPU, Then uninstall / disable it
Or you could try a full wipe from recovery (Need a safe kernel) and see how things go that way, If you have a lot of added mods & tweaks installed they can eventually start to conflict with each other, So thats also something to look into

Can you please link to the app you are talking about? Market has a lot of apps called Watchdog.
And waht do you mean do a full wipe needing a safe kernel?
As I said, I am still on the stock GB 2.3.6 ROM - if I am to do a full wipe, might as well stop waiting for Samsung update for my ROM and just install one myself, no?
My point is - how to debug and resolve this problem without resorting to "warranty voiding" actions? There has to be a way, no?

[Q] Slight lag/delay noticed

Hi there, if however my thread is redundant, please advise me to close this thread and further bring my inquiries in a more appropriate thread. Thank you
Anyway, recently, I have had an issue with my Ascend P7, and I have since sent it to the service centre to get it fixed as it was beyond my inept capabilities and knowledge of the android phone.
And since returning from the service centre, I have noticed a lag/delay everytime I press the home button. I.e., I'm smoothly browsing Google Play and upon pressing the Home button, there is a very noticeable lag, manifested as a lag/delay in the app icons populating my homescreen, as well as the clock widget lagging behind to appear (not the time lagging behind the actual time following my timezone) on my homescreen. But soon after it populates my homescreen, there is a few short seconds of lagginess? and then it returns to it's smoothness as usual. This occurs everytime I hit the home button from an open app or everytime I try to clear the memory.
Anyone might have known what could have been the culprit? Also, I don't have any games installed on my phone, just a few social apps to go with it. Otherwise, my phone is pretty empty. In terms of theme customization, I'm still using the stock themes preinstalled with the phone.
Please advise me on what should I do with hopes to help alleviate this lagginess/delay.
Thank you
