2 Apps force closing after root/ROM instal

Well I took the plunge last night and rooted and installed the Cynogen ROM and after some pretty tense moments everything worked!!
Only thing is Cherry Rplayer, a decent radio app I liked will no longer work: I get a "Sorry! The application Cherry Rplayer (process com.leadapps.android.radio.cherryrplayer) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force close" message immediately upon launch.
I searched for a similar app & found 'A Online Radio' (which looks exactly the same as Cherry Rplayer in the screenshots in the app store?) and it does the same exact thing.
Other radio apps continue to work fine such as 'NPR News'. I've also tried re-installing and still does not work.
What's up with that?
Thanks in advance

Did you flash with the latest version, ie, 5.0.5.2? One of the changes include
* Disable V8 in Webkit and switch back to JSC due to app incompatibilities

No, I used 5.0.5.1. But I just upgraded to 5.0.5.2 and launching these apps result in the same immediate force close message.

In case anyone else is having the same problem, I was able to find in another thread that fixing uid mismatches in recovery (THANKS jsapp & travon802!) solves this problem...

I'm having the same problem with Power Manager Pro (I bought it, so it's kind of annoying) and fixing uid mismatches didn't solve it.
Happens since CM5.0.5. I'm currently on 5.0.5.2

Issues with Swype, Shapewriter, SlideIT

Hi,
I've been using Swype for some two weeks now, today starting having massive problems with it (huge lagging of the application affecting the entire system, rendering it nearly unusable). I don't know if this can attributed to this, but at one point today I did a battery stats wipe, after some time when I checked and it turned out that Swype had been using some 20% of my total battery usage. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but no improvement (still massive slowdown). Then I flashed from CM 5.0.5.2 to 5.0.5.3, still no improvement. Afterwards I tried installing ShapeWriter and SlideIt- both force close the instant I try to enter into their respective settings, or select them as the input method, Swype did not force close.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

At least you can still use it. Mine has been disabled for a few days now and the old trick to use it doesn't work anymore (switching to another kb and then switching back to swype)

Actually the lag was so huge that it was unsuable. I uninstalled a couple apps I didn't use and that seemed to have worked - swype works normally again, but I seem to be experiencing another problem - newly installed apps from the market force close upon launch.

I think am experiencing similar problems also, when ever I try to bring up the keyboard to type it freezes up, so am using stock kb at the moment and all this started happening after I installed cyanogen 5.0.3.n1.

Did you import any word list into your user dictionary? I discovered that this why swype froze.
Also, slideIT and shapewriter force closed because because of user permissions.

[Q] Notification Bar ~ Refuses to Pull Down/Open

Guys,
I have recently started to have an issue with pulling the Notification Bar down.
Occasionally (and for no apparent reason) when I attempt to pull down the window it opens just a fraction with only the bottom grey part of the window showing.
No matter what I do I can not get it to open fully. The only course of action is to reboot the phone which then clears the problem.
Any ideas what is going on here?

I have also noticed this behaviour and wondered about it

Hello,
I get that as well from time to time. Only way to display the bar is to go in the main screen, press the menu button and sellect 'Notifications'.
Hope it will be fixed soon as it is really anoying bug.

Thanks for the tip... Forgot all about the Menu/Notification. I'll try it the next time it happens.

I have the same problem. I cannot, or only partially, pull down the notification bar. Menu -> notifications still works. It started 2 dags ago after i used Samsung's own RAM manager to clear level1 and level2 memory. First time I ever used this feature, and will also be the last. A reboot does not solve my issues.
Is there a way to clear notification bar cache, or the notification bar settings? This information must be stored somewhere, similar to that of other apps?
/edit
Yes, I also use launcher Pro.
On another note, after removing the battery when the phone was still on (so no proper shutdown) the problem disappeared.

hi,
could it be you guys are using launcher or launcher pro? I had the very same behaviour and installed adw launcher, wanted to compare those two anyway ... since I had installed adw launcher and used it the problem vanished ... so I assume its a problem of launcher pro ...

Ohh, give it time... If the little blighter has already been seen to happen there's a fair chance it will pop back up again right bang when you don't expect it.
I went well over a week without it myself then all of a sudden up it popped.

Got exactly the same problem, and yes I am using LP! Very irritating!

I get this sometimes. Not often. Reboot cures it. Running 2.2 and launcher pro

You mean you had the phone connected to a charger, otherwise it would simply reboot.

Only got to experience this once after 2.2 update. No apparent in 2.1. Here are my other observations. It does not pull down on portrait, but does on landscape. I am also using Launcher Pro, not sure if same thing happens if I am on TwLauncher. I installed z4mod lag fix thinking this has something to do with Samsung's programming. Haven't encountered it since. I would die if I would. LOL.
I just noticed that even after the z4mod lag fix, my Galaxy S is still not top notch in snappiness--lags from time to time, but way worst before the lag fix, phone was bordering useless due to how many times it froze. Kinda of irritating seeing that my X10, a much cheaper and technologically lesser phone, does not have this problem. I hope Samsung gets their act together as this phone has so much potential.

I have the same issue but I am on stock froyo, no lag fix or root. looks like a bug

I had the same problem with my galaxy s untill i uninstalled the Juicedefender app. Now it works great with no problem whatsoever (i use laucher pro).

I encounter the same issue once in a while, on stock froyo official update. Using launcher pro and zeam. Read somewhere that some apps that appear on the notification bar may cause the issue, so I've uninstalled them. Mines sticks whether in portrait or landscape format, and I believe after a notification appears. Shutting off and turning on doesn't always help but the problem usually goes away after a few days.

Don't forget hitting Menu and selecting Notifications will bring the Notification window down.

Touchscreen occasionally unresponsive. :(

Hey guys.
I've had this issue with YouTube being unresponsive in portrait mode after going to the main menu after I've watched a video. Hasn't bothered me because I'd just go to landscape to choose the video I wanted.
Today its now gotten worse. After a random xda force close, the shortcut on the homescreen isn't working. Every other shortcut works without issue though. Deleted and re-added the shortcut isn't working. Neither is an uninstall/reinstall. Its also spread to a few other apps.
Anyone encountered this before?
Just a few details:
Overcome 1.4.3 - Hevent upgraded yet, might later to see if the issue continues.
OC 1.4ghz
Nothing strange has happened prior to these random issues (no drops, rom flashes etc)
Sent from inside a whale.

The new xda app did the same to me after it updated itself, so I went to titanium, deleted the new version, then reinstalled the old from backup. No issues since.
Youtube has always had a mind of it's own, whether it's changing orientation, or even playing. Patience is all I can suggest there.

I had a similar problem (somewhat sporadic) and after the overcome 1.6 I don't notice it any more. although it's early days

I'm having similar issues with the keyboard - regardless of the type - stock or purchased - they lag or do not rwspond and all randomly

Clear the youtube data (wipe it from applications). Always helps me with youtube quirkiness.

Have you tried going down to 1.2ghz instead of 1.4? The FC's could be happening when it peaks 1.4ghz and doesn't like it. *shrug*
Only thing similar I've experienced is sometimes the capacitive buttons don't respond, but it's totally random and usually gets fixed if I hit any other button (even one of the other capacitives)

Amiga, is there any chance all your cavorting with gingerbread is a cause?

Its not force closing, it doesn't respond when its in portrait, if I switch to landscape everything is fine.. Really struggling to figure this out. And I've tried going back to stock (dissabling setcpu) and it still happens.

You. I read a thread where you slugged it out with an attempt to install GB or HC. Or was I sleep tabbing?

I think the 'Amiga's but threw me off. I tried to install Honeycomb (and eventually did)
YouTube was being strange before that, and its only recently that its spread to other apps.

Swype Beta

Google: "Da Swypes"

Do you have the swype installer? It should update swype automatically
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

or go to beta.swype.com

Storm, what if you can't get the installer to work? I am running a phoenix rom and the only swype I have is the beta. Unfortunately I can't run the 3.26 installer (which just came out, thereby deactivating my copy) because I'm getting an error "Swype Beta is currently unavailable for devices that have Swype preinstalled" - since my cracked copy had a beta to begin with - when a new copy was released, my copy was remotely deactivated. Is there a workaround?

I'm having an issue updating swype as well, when I go into the swype installer and hit "update" I get an error saying "There is a problem parsing the package."

Here's the new beta http://jbthemes.com/djdarkknight/darkswype-morph/

When I try to install that app, I start installing and a few second later it says "application not installed"

Wipe data and uninstall Swype using Titanium Backup. Boot into Recovery and clear cache and dalvik cache. Then install. PROFIT!

I'm using the new Swype to type this. You don't need to clear your cache and all that. Just uninstall Swype and the Swype installer from titanium backup. Then download the new installer. Reboot your phone and run the installer and it should go through just fine. Just so you know, its really good looking.

I found his themed swypes... oops, but now after doing some more reading I see Swype has cracked down on "unofficial" themes and XDA is closing threads related to them. So I guess you'll have to find them yourself - shouldn't be too tough though.

Here's where you can get every new swype beta. Just sign up on the official site and download the installer:
http://beta.swype.com/
The latest revision works great, but I'm having, like many others, issues downloading alternative languages pack on ICS/CM9. Did anybody figure out a workaround?

Yesterday I installed swype on CM9 B16. within an hour i was down 40% battery (edit: phone was sitting idle, screen off). Put it on charge an even that was going slow and the top of the phone was warm. Switch the keyboard back to the android default and the phone cooled off and charging went faster (from laptop USB). Using the show cpu usage overlay, it seems like the swype keyboard is always cranking away on cpu usage even in the lock screen.
Has anyone else had this battery drain issue with swype? is there a workaround? Swype was the best thing going on my carriers GB rom.

Nope I dont have this problem, ive been using it on ICSSGS Roms, no glitches or bugs works flawlessly. It might be a bad install, remove the app and redownload it..

Ive noticed that no matter what there is almost always a swype background process running so that can contribute to your batter loss.

I realize its always going to be a looming process. I did try reinstalling a couple hours ago. Its not popping up so intensely on the cpu usage monitor and have only dropped a normal amount (a few percent) of battery since then. I think the reinstall did it.
ps. I also had wiped my Dalvik cache before the reinstall for unrelated reasons, could have this been the atual fix rather than reinstalling swype?
