Galaxy tab 8.9 LTE force closes - Galaxy Tab 8.9 General

I have been getting a lot of force closes on my AT&T LTE tab over the last couple of weeks. Mainly gmail, Android browser and the google services framework.
Is anyone else seeing this same issue?
I rooted the tab back in December, but haven't had any issues outside this recent spat of fcs.

I havent seen this.
Did you install CWM? if so you can try fixing permissions.

I get the same issue. orlando where do you change the permissions at in the file system?

You can fix permissions with CWM recovery.
Are you guys using the regular root kernel, or the OC kernel?
This stumps me, because I cant figure out why it would work fine for a month and then start to have FCs.
If you have CWM try clearing your cache and dalvik.
Since the tablet is so similar to the skyrocket, I would suggest reading this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386234
*dont do what the OP says though, just read it for info*
This also may be of help, but it would have to be modified. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487706
I don't have a clear answer at this time.

I am running the normal root kernel, and no cwm installed.
I will read those threads, try the cwm permissions fix, and report back.

My force closes only happened after installing the OC with the LIB's pushed. I did the permissions fix and cleared the cache and dalvik. I'll let you know how it goes.

Hmmm. Started getting FC on YouTube now. Also am on stock. Not sure what happened but has been like this since yesterday. Not getting any other FC's though.
Sent from my GT-P7300 using xda premium

this is weird indeed.
The YouTube issue is widespread across tabs.

Yup I'm experiencing the same issues with Youtube. I didn't pay attention to Youtube because I don't watch videos via Youtube on my tab that often.

Looks like YouTube issue was fixed last night for tablets. This might not resolve OP but thought might be linked hence brought it up.

I have been talking to thederekjay, and he has written a tool for a more complete wipe than CWM can provide.
read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487706
I checked out the script and the partitions are the same.
I am thinking that maybe running this after flashing clockworkmod and the custom kernel would aleviate FC's if multiple people are having them.
I dont know though, and the tool needs to be tested. I will let you know what he says.
EDIT: He said this should work. I sent him the output from my adb shell mount with partition layout.

I used the script. it ran fine.
really scary when i flashed the stock rom through odin and it froze at the ATT logo. wouldnt boot past.
i booted into 3e recovery and wiped data factory reset and it worked fine after that. feels slightly faster but that just might be a placebo effect.

yea its fixed.
my only suggestion to the other people seeing force closes is to maybe flash stock, and root without using a custom kernel....
OP, are you still seeing FCs?

OP...has your problem been resolved?

Since fixing the permissions I have had any force closes

I am getting a massive amount of force closes on my i957. Stock kernel with cwm and root only. Fixing permissions in cwm does nothing and neither does rom manager. Incredibly annoying.

try fixing permitions its not the update mine works fine
Go to applications and clear the data for the market app. It sounds like you have a permissions problem and hopefully that should fix it.

cleared data and fixed permitions, still no my app in market. i went strait from 5.5.886 to 5.7.893. wonder if that had anything to do with it
Same issue here -
"Applications and games owned by this account will appear here"

I have a similar issue only the my apps page is just a black screen. I have fixed permissions, removed the market updater, cleared data and cache and even reinstalled the .apk. I can't figure this out to save my life!

For now you can use AppBrain to make sure you don't miss any app updates -- still annoying because you have to accept each one, but the only good way to check until this is sorted out.
i fixed my market isues with my apps not showing up. i did a factory reset and they now show up. i kept root and i am still on 5.7.893 and all is good thought i lost rorever root but just redownloaded the su app from the market.

How about just restoring your apps next time.
When you restore your settings and data, you are reloading your problems back in to the device.
If that doesn't work. Just restore one app at a time until you find the culprit.

My zio is messed up too. I have no home/launcher or whatever you wanna call it. I can't get to settings to enable usb debugging either so none of the adb stuff works for me (so far). New to this and I don't want to buy another phone just yet. More details can be provided as to how this happened if needed. ty.
Not sure where it is but there was a fast boot zip of launcher apk. If you boot your phone into fast boot and cwm copy the zip to the phone and then flash the zip to your Zio it should resolve the issue

openZIO Rom issue
Hi, I just installed the openZIO 2.1.2 ROM. Everything worked fine, but after rebooting and going through the initial set up (i.e. the google user setup blahblah) the VTL Launcher continually force closes and I can't do anything but go back and recover my original boot.img has anyone else had this kind of issue? Any possible fixes? Any help would be appreciated, I know not to many people are in using the Zio forums anymore... but yeah.. Thanks in advance
Try Reflashing again
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium
I've actually already done that, and it's still doing the same thing. I've deleted and re-downloaded the ROM, and re-flashed it to my phone, and still having the same issue. VTL Launcher just continually force closes, and it sucks cause I've been waiting months to get to install the ROM cause I couldn't afford a new USB cord. I've read so much on this ROM and everything for the Zio and was excited to actually be able to overclock my phone, and get some pretty good performance boosts out of it. Now I got one, and can't get it to work.. what a sad day
Could you explain your steps when flashing?
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium
well I first move the .zip to the sd, then power down and boot up CWM, and "install from SD card" and once it's finished flashing, I reboot the phone. when it comes back up my kyocera logo comes back up and it takes me through the first-boot programming (google sign-in) and once I input my un/pw and sign in, it tells me that VTL had an error and must hit force close. and once I hit force close it continues to come up saying the same thing over and over again. so I rebooted my phone, still the same thing. SO I go back through and flash it back to my original boot.img. I have gone through and completely deleted the openZIO 2.1.2.zip file and re-downloaded it, and gone through the same steps to see if maybe it was just a bad file somehow. But to no avail, still having the same issues.
After you boot into cwm : wipe cache partition, then go into mounts and storage, format: system, data, cache :then go into advanced and wipe dalvick cache.
Now flash rom
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium
Ok just went through with what you had mentioned, and still getting the same results. "Sorry! The application VTL.Launcher (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. with the only option to force close. As soon as I force close, the same message pops up
Have you tryed flashing my rom?
I would try that, and see what happens.
You can always push a launcher with adb or Droid commander.

doing this now actually.. been reading for the last hour or so and seems like you did some good work on the ROM. it's flashing now, hopefully all works well I'm excited to see how it goes.
Well it flashed and well... seems to be having a strange issue.
When switching screens, it seems to glitch out? Like you see the icons, and when you switch screens, it's like the icons move but it freezes different frames. imma re-flash it in the morning to see if that helps any.

Both my phone (updated from BO 1.1 without wiping data) and my wife's phone (newly rooted straight to BO 2.0 with wiping data) have errors when trying to open the google calendar app. Had issues with the gmail app too, but I was able to reinstall that from the market.
In case others have the same issue the calandar app isn't on the market, but I found the apk here (haven't tested it with my phone yet though).

Edit: Uninstalling and restoring with Titanium Backup fixed the problem.
I had a problem with my clock, Callender, and calculator not working. There was also a problem with the ROM and it didn't De-bing anything. so I had to reflash my nandroid back up, only to discover I didn't have busybox installed. easy enough fix.

I just got BO 2.0.1 installed last night and I was having this same problem. Both youtube and gmail crashed at reboot and when I tried to launch them, Play and Maps worked fine. I cleared Caches without any luck, but an uninstall and reinstall of the apps from Play seemed to fix it.
Last night the wifi tether was working fine once I set it to use the Optima S profile. But this morning turning it on reboots the phone.
Over all I like it so far. It's alot more responsive than GV1.3 that I was running before.
Is anyone else having music playing issues? For me it's super choppy, and when using play music it makes weird noises. I have it OC'd to 1.9ghz on 2.0.1 on the blitzkrieg 3 beta kernel. Thanks!

Calendar app not sync'ing
Hey all,
Searched the thread and still haven't found a solution that works for me.
1.) I started on BO1.1
2.) Flashed BO2.0 and encountered multiple FC errors so....
3.) used LGNPST to go to Z8
4.) OTA update to Z9
5.) Flashed BO2.0
Calendar app doesn't sync
I have tried wiping tha app cache, wiping cache and dalvik through CWM.
Any other suggestions? I've been thinking about using titanium to backup and restore w/o restoring the calendar app and see if it will automatically dl it.
Thanks in advance!
And Thanks to MT and all the others who had put in so much time and effort to make the REVO a usable phone!
Rip the Calender app from a previous back up and push it to your phone with adb. Should fix it. When I get a chance I will rip mine and post it.
If someone beats me to it, a flashable zip would be nice.

Ok tried installing a clean calendar apk with root explorer and still no sync.

Constant VOD
I am also having constant VOD on my revo. I flashed BO 2.00 last night and only had 1 VOD. I used the phone today and had 5 VOD. I will try flashing the BO 2.01 patch and the blitz3 beta. I hope this will solve my problems.
One quick question about installing the patch. Do I have to do anything special with the patching or is it as simple as flashing 2.00?
I keep getting constant reboots and many VOD(usually only when its charging/plugged in.) This has been for me the least stable ROM. When it works its great, but lately it seems every time I pick it up its either rebooting or had just rebooted. I even completely wiped everything and started from scratch and it's still rebooting.

Same here for me!!! My phone now after several VODs wont even turn on. I think the battery has been discharded beyond the recharge point or my phone has a hardware failure from to much heat. Not sure. But looks like im going to buy a new phone.

It's the push command.

wipe dalvik and cache
reboot.
worked perfectly for my wife on her revo, and hers is the same as mine just no theme.
i keep getting constant reboots also, ive tried complety wiping and reflashing to no success, im on zv9 and tried BO 2.0 and 2.0.1 and Blitz 3.0 but nothing works and also most of my problems are when im on the charger also i don't know what to do????
I keep getting the vod's as well. So I Reflashed 2.0 again and it seems to have stopped. I like to use the go launcher ex, could that be the cause of it?

[Q] "Package file is invalid." When installing from Play Market.

I have already tried reflashing gapps as well recovering to a point when the market is working. I have also tried wiping all of my caches. This has now happened to me 3 times. Each time I have been able to resolve it by doing a system the problem by doing a factory reset from TWRP. It should also be noted that when I try to install apps from my SD card, it also says install failed, but when I am not getting the "Package file is invalid" from the market the apps install fine from the SD card. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

[Q] Help Flashing new ROM, Fresh Start needed.

Hi all, I have looked all over the place, I need help.
Here are my Current "About Device"
Hardware Version: I800.0.3
Model Number: SCH-I800
Firmware: 2.3.5
Baseband Version S:I800.0.3V.E104
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-dsb9938.VZW.GTab.E104.1.1.2
I have looked at the "back to stock" threads, multiple DL links are no longer available.
I had rooted, and Flashed a "Cube" ROM quite some time ago. A while after that I messed something up with the built in "overclocking" type app. Set it to the side and kind of forgot about it. Fast forward to know, I would like to get it working for my son to use, but there are a few issues that keep us from using it. I kept getting all sorts of random force closes, so I was able to get in recovery, and tried to wipe everything. This somewhat worked for a while, but now I am getting a force close from Facebook (which isn't installed, and I have narrowed it down to a contact synching issue) and I keep getting a popup for an OTA system update. I have tried to do the update, but I think the recovery is keeping it from completing.
Long story short, I know this device is a bit older, but where should I start from? I am ok with a fresh, wipe everything start. Not looking for a crazy ROM, but just a everything works ROM. I am ok with GB, ICS, etc, I just want it to be fully functioning. I plan on adding the tablet on my account so I can stop tethering for my son to use it. This has been the only device I have ever needed to ask for help, I am just not so used to the ODIN type stuff.
Thanks in advance.
I tried to do a reset, and wipe from CW recovery. Then restore, it has been stuck on the black with white Samsung screen for about 10 minutes. Don't know what else to do right now.

There's a very new thread that should help you get back to stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383201
As far as what to put on it, I highly recommend this CM10.1 ROM. It runs very smoothly, but if you want to activate data, I think you have to go back a bit for a working kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2043421 The CDMA version is the p1c.
I don't know if you have come across this yet, but unlike any device I had flashed before, the GTab recovery has to be flashed with a corresponding kernel. You can't just flash the recovery to get into recovery.
