After rooting, froze some of the bloat, but now when I click on a contact's name in the Contacts app, it Force Closes.
I'd read in the forums that the Yahoo Mail Authenticator was the cause of this, so I did not freeze it, but I'm still getting FC's.
Anybody got any ideas, other than one by one going through them all?
Well, step one would be a list of everything you've frozen, so people don't have to guess which one of the 220 system apps you shouldn't have killed...
I was messing around with freezing too and had the same problem; I could view the list of contacts but tapping a contact for their specific information would cause a force close. I fixed it by un-freezing some of the social apps...I think they hook into the contacts app somehow.
Did you by any chance freeze "Yahoo Contacts"?
That causes contact FCs for me.
Just tried to repro the issue with the social apps and couldn't get it to break. I also froze yahoo contacts and no breaky either. Hmm... When it happened to me I just un-froze anything remotely related to contacts, restarted, and checked. Can't say for sure exactly what it was, but try that.
I ran into this problem as well. Went back into Titanium, defrosted both of the "Yahoo" .apks and it fixed the problem. Of course there are other things that could break it if you froze them so it's not necessarily an all-in-one fix.
i know for sure that the yahoo ones were part of the problem, but i also think it could be the email and other things that contacts use even if you aren't using those specific things
hey guys I'm having the same problem but I removed the apk files instead. yea I know. I figured I could restore with Titanium backup but it just locks up. is there a way to manually reinstall? I already tried copying the apks to the /system/app/ folder but TB still reports the apps uninstalled and if I manually install the apk it says install failed. TIA!

Does anyone know what com.google.process.gapps is? I think, im not quite sure, but it might have started coming up randomly after I moved the caches to my sd card. It doesnt do anything when I hit force close, everything im still doing stay the same, its just annoying having it pop up periodically. Does anyone know how I can fix this without having to wipe my phone or anything? Thanks
wipes suck..
I used astro to copy all my apps to my sd so all I have to do is install each one , one at a time which is tedious but better than the market and, I have now noticed if I hadn't done that Id have to buy all the apps since I bought a second G1 in white gave my black one to my wife after a wipe, then used the same sd to re install stuff to the albino one.
But it seems to me that this point other than pinpointing the problem to 1 or 2 apps then kill them and hope it fixes the problem, not alot is known about these lil' suckers so most of the time wipe is the only option, but all your contacts mail & stuff is sync'd from the goog servers so its not as bad as rebuilding most pda/smartphones.
soon im sure things will get easier and better
bhang
Yea I think im jus going to backup my stuff with mybackup, then wipe it, cuz its really annoying
Be careful with that. I encounter problem a while back, cant remember what I did to cause it, but when I rebooted I had to sign back in to my gmail account and couldn't get a data connection with the setup wizard. I had to reflash all the way back to rc29.
I jus wiped it and and used mybackup 2 restore everything, but I encountered a problem with Download Crutch, whenever I tried to install another app after I installed Download Crutch it would ask me to choose what app to use to install the other apps, Download Crutch or Package Installer, and it would freeze at [email protected] screen and say "Android has enountered an error" or smthin, and ask to wait or force close, but it wouldnt allow me to choose, it would just freeze. So I uninstalled it and successfully reinstalled my other apps, everything is fine now, im leaving Download Crutch uninstalled
Linda File Manager has a "download crutch" built in (lets you pick what to associate files with). Download crutch seems to be just that small part of linda file manager. best file manager, imo. Astro is juuust behind it

You should have just clear data of gmail application and error would have gone.
How do you "just clear the Google data"?
hcleared gmail data but the error still comes up...

com.google.process.gapps
I narrowed the problem down to "google talk" on my EVO. I went into settings about 30 mins ago and i haven't had a pop up yet.
If you frequently use Gtalk, there are other messaging apps such as Palringo that syncs with gtalk. Hope this helps!
try disabling Gtalk...worked for me.
How did you disable Gtalk? I removed Gtalk and it started having this issue in gmail... the only way I fixed it was by putting Gtalk back.
wiped entire phone and reinstalled everything again... dunno why this happens but when it starts I cannot revert it.

I think I had similar problems with my Googles Apps, and a few other apps. What I did was installed Titanium backup. Backup up the apps that I was having problem. uninstalled the apps, and reinstall them from the Market. And that solved my problem.
Hi!
I was experiencing the same problem, and I couldn't install anything from Market. The problem is caused by the gtalk service. If you have it uninstalled, you can get it from a dropbox link. Here it goes: dlDOTdropboxDOTcom PERuPER15246936PERgtalkservice.apk
Of remove the spaces and the other stuff. Unfortunately the forum does not let meg paste external links since i'm a newbie here.
A guy named SAPS uploaded it. Say hallelujah It solves both problems.
Cheers
Could you please give me some more details about what i have to do with this :
dlDOTdropboxDOTcom PERuPER15246936PERgtalkservice.apk
I also have the same problem. I can't download anyting from the market. And my knowledge about computers is not too much.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You press menu from your home screen
click on setting
click on applications
click on manage applications
click on all
click on "app name"
click on clear data
Don't ask me which app, cause I am still looking for it.
On my galaxy tab from tmobile, I cleared the following: contacts, gmail.
It fixed it
But on my G2 from tmobile, i ****ed up the sync, and had to restore it.
The app that I think that cause the problem for me was the bump app.
So I installed Cognition 2.1, and everything seems pretty awesome. However, every time I open Google Talk, it closes. It doesn't prompt me to FC, but it pops up briefly and disappears. Task managers say that it's running, but I can't receive any messages nor can I open the program.
I tried restoring the app and the data in TiBa but no luck. Same results. Any thoughts?
This happened to me when I restored the accounts using Titanium Backup.
Someone else said to restore everything again with Titanium to fix it, but I don't know myself if that worked. I wound up re-flashing to stock and then when I restored with Titanium I just didn't restore the accounts.
When you say "Accounts," do you mean just the one called "Accounts" with the Titanium Backup logo next to it? Or are there other things you're referring to as well?

That's what I'm talking about, yeah. I don't know with 100% certainty if it'll work but it seems like that was the culprit because my Market wouldn't download anything either. When I did the same exact process again I manually added my gmail account before I did Titanium restores and I stayed away from the Accounts item in there.
Try restoring everything again, in Titanium, all system data. Someone here said it works to do that. Maybe it will? Only other option at this point is to reflash to stock and update it again. (as far as I know, I tried quite a few things and nothing else worked. I didn't try restoring everything again with Titanium though)
Yeah I have the exact same problem: market downloads won't work either. I wonder what causes that?
I just clicked restore all data on Titanium Backup (didn't feel like reinstalling every single app again), and it worked! Also restored all my homescreen data: didn't realize that got backed up.
Thanks for the help!

Ok so after months of trying to figure out how to get facebook and twitter for lg off of this phone, I figured it out. My revo is rooted and I have cwm with the decrapped rom from thecubed. The actual apk file is called sns.apk (short for social networking service). I backed it up, then froze the app using titanium backup. Voila! No more facebook or twitter for lg. I don't know if anyone else has figured this out, but I thought I would share
SWEETTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most Excellent find. This should go in the list of useful apps to freeze. Great!!
Any non-rooted solutions??

I really doubt it, but is there a way to remove or freeze apps if your phone isn't rooted? Also, can't you just uninstall the apps instead freezing them? Or does that cause a problem somehow?
Thanks! I was wondering what SNS was...frozen now!

You can uninstall them.. but freezing to me is better.. if we do get the gingerbread update and you are still pretty stock with some frozen apps, you can un freeze and then do the update and you should be fine.. much easier than uninstalling the app and then having to reinstall them.
I noticed after reflashing decrapped 1.1 the facebook for lg icon came back and it also showed up as an option for sharing a pic. I looked in titanium backup and it said it was still frozen, when I hit unfreeze it said apk file not found, so I hit uninstall. That was successful, then I flashed mtmichaelsons revolt rom and since he hasnt gotten bluetooth working on it I reflashed again back to decrap 1.1. The icons came back and I went to tibu again. I hit restore and it said it was successful, but then the icons disappeared. I don't really care if this program is deleted permanently from the phone, but I am wondering why it keeps popping up like that and why it's acting like that in tibu. Not a major issue for me, just odd
So now that we have root and we're all getting rid of the bloat, can someone help me understand the difference between using Titanium Backup to 'Freeze' an app, and using Root Explorer to semi-delete it by renaming it to .bak?
Which is better? They're both reversible, so does it make any difference?
Thanks!

They both have the same effect; the file is no longer able to be executed. If those are your 2 options, I personally would prefer freezing with Titanium Backup because it's much easier to do and much easier to reverse it.
I, on the other hand, did a factory reset, immediately backed up everything to my SD card (after uninstalling Nova and that stupid Golf game), and then used Titanium Backup to Uninstall all the bloatware I did not want. I ended up uninstalling 32 apps. Freezing would've had the same outcome, but I prefer those apps to be completely gone on my phone...I despise them that much.
If an OTA is ever released, I'll simply reinstall all of them from the Titanium Backup on my external-SD and voila, phone is as it was right after a hard reset.
Hope this helps.
Don't make the same mistake I did and freeze/uninstall "Yahoo Mail Authenticator" ... it causes the contacts (when you open a particular contact) to force close.

Maybe because he hasn't came across the issue yet. I had the same problem when I froze this app. Contacts would FC. Restored it and it returned to normal.
It's best to try freezing (or renaming) one or two programs at a time, test the phone, then continue. Doing them all at once makes for a big headache when trying to find the offending program.
I had same problem with contacts also. defrosted yahoo and worked done

Okai.
Maybe we should have a list of things not to delete, rather than what we CAN delete then.

Hello all, so the full error that reads is
The application Contacts Storage (process com.motorola.contacts) has stopped unexpectedly Please try again.
Then I get a Force Close
I really have no idea what I did to kill it, but its broke. I was already updated to 5.6.890 and -55 firmware. I had a bunch of apps installed and had ran the bloat remove and then re-added it and decided to "freeze" applications with TI Backup. Somewhere in there it all broke. I have searched online and only found a couple of people saying yahoo contacts is broke and to re-install. Well I tried that didn't work. I have don factory reset and nothing, even booted into safe mode and contacts still broke. It happens when I open my contacts and then go to click on a name. So I can not use my contacts to dial any number. The only way to make a call is to direct dial the number.
Anyone have any thoughts or fixes for this at all?

This has been asked countless times, please do some looking around. I mean, this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235391) is literally like 4 posts down from the top....
You need to unfreeze the authenticators (yahoo, orkut, etc) or contacts will crash.
That would be great to do however, I have unfroze everything, still not working, re-installed "bloatware" had everything like factory except for the upgrade to 5.6.890 and firmware at -55 did a factory reset several times, still broke then un-rooted, still broke, re-rooted then factory reset again and still broke. I have looked around and all options do not fix my problem.
Anything else you might be able to think of?
And just for good measure, I just rooted it and did the process that is supposed to fix it and it didn't work again.
Are you sure that you didn't uninstall anything? If restoring all the bloatware isn't helping you might just need to flash system.img and get it over with.
I am not sure at this point what I did or did not install/un-install, I have been fighting this and trying different things for the past 4 days. I would be fine with flashing the system.img if I knew how. Sorry to ask, but might you have a link to where I could find that info?

com.motorola.contacts has stopped unexpectedly
when i tried to use the original contacts storage of my Atrix 4G it presented me a sorry message "process com.motorola.contacts has stopped unexpectedly". I tried many solutions from internet. All of them fail. So I entered in Google Play Store and install the app "GO Contacts". Now I can use my contacts to make call and better organize it. Please try it.
