Just tried... wiped / installed same rom.... 80 Apps Restored Again... Im on froyo by the way... im going to try to uninstall everything one by one... see what happens...
Edit: Uninstalled Everything 1 by one from the market and wiped again... the applications are still restoring what do I have to do? somebody plz help this is annoying...

Are you restoring a nandroid when changing roms?

Don't set up the google account right after the first boot after the wipe. Skip that step.
Do that step after the initial setup by going to settings->accounts&sync.

i had this problem and it irked the hell out of me
my solution
i used root explorer and deleted the googlebackuptransport.apk from system/app b4 i signed into my google acct

[Q] Sending Blank emails when replying

I upgraded to the leaked OS 2.2 Froyo and now I am getting the below issue when I reply to emails. Doesn't happen to EVERY email but several to cause me issues at work.
I am using Exchange only.
I reply to an email and it is recieved but all text I typed is missing and it actually looks as if I forwarded the email back to the sender.
I saw on another forum some other were experiencing this issue but none had a clue how to resolve it.
Anyone know how to fix this? Others seeing this?
Any help would be appreciated!!

???
Is no one else having this issue? Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve it? Do I need to wipe the deivce?

I've had this issue as well when using my exchange.

I had the same issue with email after cognition2.2BETA5.5. It seems that designgears had installed the AOSP email app but removed it in later versions due to too many complaints. I find that the AOSP app is much better then then TW Email apk. I performed the steps below to install the AOSP Email.apk. Replies work everytime without issue.
1.) Get the Email AOSP app from a different rom or make a request and I will happily provide a link to download the apk.
2.) Connect your phone to the computer and move the Email.apk to the root of your sdcard.
3.) Backup your current Email.apk with Titanium or manually copy it to another location on your phone.
NOTE: You may need to backup your phone settings so you can restore your launcher after clearing cache in the final step to avoid having to replace all of your home screen icons.
4.) Using Root Explorer or Astro, copy the Email.apk copied to your sdcard into the folder /system/app/ to replace the current app.
5.) Return to the home screen. At this point you should no longer see an email icon on your dock.
6.) Go to Applications->Settings->Applications->Manage Applications
7.) Clear the cache on the TWLauncher Application.
8.) Return to the home screen and you should now see the email icon has returned to the dock.
9.) Restore TWLauncher settings with Titanium to restore home screen icons that were removed in the cache.
Please let me know if you need the email.apk from cognition2.2beta5.5

Aosp email.API link request
Is there a copy of the email.API that doesn't have the blank reply issue yet has all the features of cognition latest release?

I have attached a working Email apk to this post. Down load it and follow the steps in the post above to resolve the blank email reply issue. Let me know if you have any issues.

I followed the instructions, however, I did not have a backup of twlauncher, so now I don't have an email icon on my home bar

So put the icon back on your launch bar. It is configurable. (doing this from memory, so i may miss a step). Go to your list of apps -> menu -> edit and you can configure 3 of the 4 icons on the touchwiz launcer (you can't get rid of the apps shortcut).

Alright, hopefully you all are still willing to help somebody else out on this issue, as I am in the same boat as gibgib3. I have followed the steps above using the attached email.apk from f13nd0.
The issue I get is that launching email cause an immediate crash of the application, as well as attempting to add a new "Corporate" email account.
I am not an Android development power user myself, although I've used adb in the past sparingly. I really just am clinging to the leaked Froyo build from October, and just want working email (TouchDown is crazy slow and expensive) until Samsung finally pushes out an official Froyo build.
Any ideas here?

Flash a new ROM that has the email bugs fixed.
From the interwebs via fast thumbs and a faster phone.

That is the "nuclear option" that I'd like to avoid. While I have everything backed up with titanium, I already am planning to flash back to stock when the official update comes out, so I'm looking to minimize the necessity to flash a ROM again.
I'm hoping that there is some "tried and true" way to swap out my email.apk with a working version, as the previous steps just result in a "Force Close" whenever I try and run it.

So the solution here, for anybody having this issue, is to remove the existing email.odex file from the /system/app directory, which was associated with the original Samsung email app.
All systems go here.

How do you remove the email.odex file? As it is in the system folder, the file permission is ready only and I cannot delete it. Is there a util in the market that you can download to change file permissions?

Root Explorer did the trick for me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Does the phone needs to be rooted (my phone has the leaked froyo but do not think it is rooted) for the root explorer to be able to change the permission?
I download other free utils that has access to the file but cannot change the permission in order to delete it.

Yes, it does.

Rooting is the key to doing all "magic" stuff like this. What good is a wizard (user) without his magic wand (root access) to work on any magic (his captivate)?

Okay, I finally learn how to root the phone and was finally able to remove the existing email.odex file. Now I don't have the email icon anymore. I must assume you have replaced this email.odex file as well as the apk file??? I tried clearing the cache and everything on the twlauncher and it's a no go.

[Q] Fixing the "process.com.google.process.gapp" error message

After TRYING all kinds of suggestions, none of which work, I found one that says:
- copy all google talk service and google talk app to system/app folder
- Grant all possible privilages to them
- Restart the phone.
In what folder is google talk service and google talk app located?
How do you grant them "all privledges'?
Seems to me the last time I attempted to CUT AND PASTE a file to the system/app folder, it wouldn't let me.
This message has come up EVEN AFTER I have installed numerous ROMs.
I appreciate any help!

Did you flash stock in between flashes?. To move a file rlto system/app use adb or super manager
If I have helped press thanks.

Clean install of ROMs
Every time I flash, I go back to stock and do a Master Clear, so my flashes are clean. I use Titanium BU Pro to reinstall apps, BUT do NOT restore system data, just app data.
I'm thinking that the problem MIGHT be related to the syncing of my calendar with the google calendar I have online. Triied doing the data clear, etc....
Like I said, I've tried everything except what I posted in my first post. Problem is, I don't know where the files are located so that I can transfer them to the system folder. This seems like the only other "solution" I haven't tried at this point.
Hate to do it, but I'm thinking about going back to stock 2.2 and see if that makes a difference.

[Q] Contacts process force close after removing some bloatware

Would really appreciate some help.
Removed some bloatware via Titanium Backup, and of course, I got trigger happy.
process com.motorola.contacts (Contacts force closes)
process com.motorola.conversations (text messaging force closes)
So I have Root Explorer and got a hold of a system dump for Bionic.
I started by moving YahooContacts.apk (one of the apps I guess I shouldn't have uninstalled) back to the /system/app folder...but it doesn't show up anywhere as an installed app (just that the .apk was moved). If I try to actually select the .apk and try to install it says "Application did not Install" but the .apk IS moved.
Processes still don't work after moving.
I would appreciate any help, at this point I can't text or place calls. Thanks in advance, this forum helped me with the entire root process.

You cannot freeze/remove ANY of the other authenticator apps, it will cause contacts to freeze. I ran into that on the Droid 3.

First off there is no need to delete/remove, Freezing them accomplishes the same thing but most importantly it allows you to reverse what you have broken by Defrosting it. Do yourself a favor stop deleting and start freezing. If 16GB is not enough internal storage for you then you might consider an external HD from Seagate!!!!!!! LOL

I realize I made a big mistake. That's totally on me But it's in the past
Do I have any options to get this working again? I am definitely going to freeze apps in the future.
If I did delete an authenticator process, is there any way I can get those back? Would they be available through a system dump?

I believe that you need to make sure the permissions are correct after reinstalling an apk to the system/app folder. I've never done this, so I'll let you do the research. I've heard you can use root explorer to do this or a script with terminal emulator. Sorry I can't help more

I have the exact same problem, and am attempting to troubleshoot this issue on a different forum, however I am not allowed to post links but I'll try and keep you updated.
Edit: It's not a problem with permissions, I've made sure that they're correct with root explorer. It seems to be a Bionic-specific issue. I might just return it at this rate.

Thankfully, there's an unroot to use. I think im in the same boat. re-added all the yahoo related .apk and .odex and set permissions/owner, still nothing. Unroot and hope the Verizon dude is in a good mood!

Except now ADB is throwing "ERROR: ADB could not be granted root access" when trying to unroot
excellent.

Someone in the thread I was talking about had some success, its on droidforums dot net, droid bionic forum, bionic support, HELP! accidentally deleted IMSCServer from Droid Bionic thread. Maybe you can try something I haven't.

just do a factory reset thats what i had to do as I had the same problem.

I tried that, it didn't work... Did you actually get your system apps back? Did you do it through settings or the recovery menu?

i froze my bloat thats prob the difference and it was yahoo that caused the problem for me...

It really begs the question why anything with Yahoo is required by the system. Furthermore, why did they make it so frustratingly hard to reinstall system apps on the Bionic? Really disappointed in Motorola for this.

Here is the fix for Contacts, restore these files and set correct permission, reboot and presto Contacts fixed

That did it.. I have been looking for the YAHOO Contacts.apk file for 3 days with a bloody wortheless phone that I spent 300 shells on!
BTW I agree with Glimmerman, WHY DID YAHOO get involved in contacts? Talk about a sneaky way in integrate them.

Sorry if I'm newbtastic here but what do I do with these APKs and odex. I tried installing with ES explorer but it would not install. Am I supposed to move these files somewheres? /system/app then try install ? Thanks

answered my own question. I WAS newbtastic afterall. LOL. Thanks anyways. This did it. Dang Yahoo!

lol yep my girlfriend did this yesterday fortunately i have a bionic too so i just pulled the files from my phone and pushed to hers.
damn you yahoo.
also, apparently go contacts EX will 'fix' the problem (you must use their app however)

"android.process.acore"

solved the "android.process.acore" problem
hey .
i hope it would help the most of us.
its propebly is contects problem , that raises from syncing with facebook.
1. uninstalled facebook app.
2. got into app manager -> contacts storage, and pressed "clear data".
im not sure how but the problem disappeared.
let me know how it worked for u guys.

I've uninstalled facebook app.. Where is application manager and contact storage ?
Edit : Yep I found that. If I install facebook app now will I get the issue again ?

it works, mate. somehow, i just restore my nandroid backup to where the last known good position.
if it's because of facebook, how about changing the app into any facebook app, like friendcaster. will there appear any prob too ?

Cool, I was looking for the solution since a long time. I ll try that and post the results. Well thanks BigBear in advance.
Guys: dont forget to backup your contacts before you clear the contact storage becuase once you do that all your contacs are gone.
You can backup and restore contacts from here
People->Menu->Import/Export
You can select all or perticular groups and then save the export on SD card and then same can be restored.

Did not work

I did the same thing yesterday. It did not work at all, On the contra the error started coming very often and i had to restore my previous backup.
Any other ideas to fix this?

Its something to do with Facebook, don't sync any contacts....I haven't and I've not had a single problem since. Do the first post again, and when you log in...don't sync anything.

Yep.. thats the problem, if you dont sync the contacts there is no problem at all. However I want to see pictures of people in my contact book and those pcitures should come from their fb profile.
I wish there is a solution.
On a different note: yesterday I tried to optmize the STOCK rom for salsa. is there any way i can install CWM recovery in my STOCK ROM without flashing CWM ROM?
I m asking this because STOCK ROM works well if i sync contacts with FB. What I can do is simply use the stock rom and customize it to have optimized behaviour.

yes cwm works with whatever rom! thats the idea. you have the latest hboot, flash in the cwm 5. done. you install any rom you like and it will not affect cwm.
as for the fb pics.....is it really worth it? if it is...save the contacts you have with pics to Google contacts..the pics will be saved there, sync again with Google contacts and they reappear.
it takes up space syncing contacts with fb just for photos lol

BigBearEvo :
Yesterday I spent some time to flash CWM5. Then I went to fastboot and flashed only system.img and left out other things.
I extracted this system.img from STOCK RUU.
FB works just fine now, as i expected. But the real problem is the speed fo the phone. It has become terribally slow. I am not sure why. Here is the complete configuration.
CWM5
Stock System partition
data2st-ext3
ROM Manager 5 installed
Busybox 1.7latest SU installed.
Everything is so slow, that i cant even wakeup my phone quickly to make calls. Is it because I have just falshed system and not other partition from the same RUU? (i dont think so thoug)
It shows .88gb free space on internal memory. still runs like a turtle.

Use a CPU control app, setcpu, CPU master and turn it up! You'll be running between 245 and 480 normally.
And if that don't help you then you have done something to cause it I'm afraid....best way is to back track what you did. Post up your findings ...
What rom are you using? Was it stock anyway or a custom? In all fairness you may find it easier backing you priority apps upper, and wiping the rom, flashing a new one and starting again!
But try the speed up first. See what happens.
I don't ever flash seperate parts, allways a full rom image.

Sorry I was away for a long time..
Ok back to the topic...
Changing the CPU speed scares me, I dont want to screw the hardware as I dont have enough money to buy a new phone.
So here is how i solved it.
Reinstalled everything same as i did last time. Same configuration. (Stock ROM System partition only)
However this time i did not run data2st-ext3 script, and that solved my speed problem. Speed is pretty better after this. I suspect that my SD card is not a High Speed Card so that might have caused the problem; as i shifted all the data to SD card.
BUT BUT BUT...
I am now using link2SD and all my apps are installed on SD card and it works fine this way. No noticable impact on the speed.
I am not sure what was wrong. Any guessess? I might try Data2SD again, if you guys really want me to drill this issue.

Bigger SD card requured lol.....I don't get any lag and all mine are on internal memory
Sent from a 3.5 Sensed Salsa

ha ha ..
I have got 8bg SD but I suspect its not high speed. Do you know any way fo checking if its high speed or not..?
I hope the setCPU or CPU master wont screw my phone for ever..

I've just flash a new rom (Clean Rom) and this error occurs. Since it's a "clean" rom and doesn't have fb app installed, how do i fix it? Any help will be appreciated.

I have the same problem with the android.process.acore and I resolved in this mode;
Settings –> Applications –> Manage Applications –> All (button on the top that lets you see all applications) –> scroll down to “Contacts Storage” –> Click on “Clear Data”.
after that the phoe is working fine.
