hi everybody. in this moment i'm going to explode like a bomb, such nervous i am. some days ago i wrote about the fact i wasn't able to freeze apps with titanium, but then i solved using systemappfreezer. the problem of that app is that it completely freezes an apps, and in the market it doesn't appear installed, and sometimes freezed apps give me error. so i tried today with rom toolbox pro, but it does the same error as titanium (the opeation of freezing/defreezing never end, but i don't know how the app is freezed, but i can't defreeze it any more). so i tried with both an operation i never use before. backup-uninstall-reinstall using backup. i can backup, i can uninstall but i can't reinstall using backup. i don't know what to do anymore. please somebody help me!!! i can't stand that with the htc hd2 and dell streak 5 i could freeze an app without problems, but in this super-phone i can't do it.

However ironic the title may be, I updated my fiance's non-rooted N1 to the official release froyo and from the very beginning, it will work for a few seconds, then it will just freeze for a few minutes. I have patiently gone through and stopped almost every process, and nothing will fix it. It still just freezes constantly and usually requires a battery pull to get it to work at all. I told her she could try a factory reset, but she would rather just go back to 2.1-update1. I'm going to try renaming 22607-ERD79-update-nexusone-stock-signed.zip (or PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_1.01.1700.1_ERD79_release_signed.zip) to update.zip and reflashing it in the stock bootloader on her phone, but I feel like that won't work because it is a previous version and not really an update. Does anyone have any advice on how to just bring her back, or perhaps how to fix her freezing problems on froyo?
Thanks
Try a fresh flash with no apps installed and see how its doing.... if it doesn't freeze then its a app probably ...
I'd like to try that, but she doesn't want to do a fresh install. I'd imagine that if an app didn't freeze 2.1, it wouldn't freeze 2.2. Besides, 2.2 freezes even after killing all applications and services.
I guess I'm really looking for advice on getting it back to 2.1 without rooting her phone.

Just do a factory reset in settings and security ... no reflash. Just cause a app didn't freeze 2?1 doesn't mean it wont freeze 2.2. And even if the apps currently not running or closed, it'll still wack ya phone. I had a freeze every hour yesterday with my chosen apps installed, flashed 3 different times to no avail. Now I factory reset with only 4 definitely needed apps installed and haven't gotten a freeze yet. So my conclusion is 2.2 doesn't like something I've installed so I'm adding a few apps every hour to fins the cause.
Since I factory reset with my few apps. I haven't had a freeze yet all night and morning long..
I'm having the same issue too. Not sure what is going on with FRF91, but my phone keeps freezing and I need to pull the battery to get it to respond again. I agree it very well could be an application, but installing every application one by one and testing would be a pain. Is there a better way to figure out what is causing the phone to lock up? Any time of log on the phone that would be helpful?

Have you tried a factory reset? That might fix it... let us know what you find. I've noticed a couple of freezes as well, but I'm not able to factory reset it just yet because I'm out of town and don't want my phone down for even half an hour.
I have to pull battery a couple of times a day.
I'm having the same issue on 2.2. I have done 2 factory resets. Nothing. N1 call center said slowly reinstall all apps to see if an app may be doing it. No luck.
Is anyone having issues with the screen still being responsive while on a call? My screen will go black but you cant still hit keys when you have up against your face.
I'm betting that you do not have a custom recovery and nandroid backup, or you wouldn't be asking.
I highly doubt that the phone will let you push the old firmware on top of the new one if you don't have a hacked recovery and a test-signed zip. But I don't know - you could try it...
Here is what I would do:
1. Install a custom recovery (like Amon-Ra 1.7.0.1), either by unlocking the bootloader, or by following the directions in the dev forum for doing this without unlocking if you have the fear. If you already a custom recovery, don't worry about this step.
2. Now boot into recovery and make a nand backup!
3. Now go ahead and try this one of two ways - either delete one application at a time until you figure out which one is killing you, OR do a factory reset and then re-add one application or a small number at a time until you figure out what is crashing you.
If it were me, with my 100 applications, I'd probably add 5 or 10 at a time. Once you get crashes after one group, try removing those applications one at a time until the crashes stop. The last removed app when the crashes stop should be the answer.
Of course, since you'll have to have adb running to get a nandroid, you could also just take a logcat of the running, crashing phone and see what app is killing it there.
I did a factory reset today and will report back letting everyone know if that has fixed the issue. Everyone else that is experiencing the freezing issue, did you have Beautiful Widgets installed?
I have that installed, is that whats cousing it?
Beautiful Widgets was killing my N1, too. Freezes, sluggishness, etc. I uninstalled and wiped my cache via stock recovery. No problems since.
I'm on stock FRF91 BTW.

It appears that's the root of my issue. I would uninstall the application and clear the cache and see if that helps. Report back with your findings.

Okay I first installed the latest stable version of CM5 on my Dream, and it loaded up fine, then I used my Backup Pro program to reinstall my programs then it kept saying that super permissions has stopped working and to end the program, and after it was done reinstalling my apps it said there was an error in all of them. So I rebooted my phone, and after the boot screen shows up I enter my 4 digit code and android shows up then it says messaging has stopped working end now, and I clicked it, and now it keeps going back to the boot screen over and over and over, how do I fix this?
Also it said something about the core not being responsive, and the gapps I installed was not working, and I really need my phone to work again, what did I do wrong?
EDIT - I wiped and reinstalled, I'll post back and see if it's fixed.
EDIT 2 - Well it didn't have any of those error messages, and I started to reinstall all my apps using my backup pro app then all of a sudden it froze for an hour and so I just took out the battery because my phone wasn't responsive at all. Then I tried turning it on and it just froze a the G1 symbol. So I wiped everything and reinstalled again, and now it's booting up again so I'll post back to see if it's working.
EDIT 3 - I was using my backup pro app again and it got to about half way before the super permissions kept force closng and then the android process kept closing over and over, so I'm rebooting my phone.
EDIT 4 - It keeps saying that home and android keep force closing, so I'm not sure how I'm going to get my apps back, I'm going to wipe and reinstall again.
Have you tried using something better than MyBackup Pro? If I ever meet the creator, I'm going to slap them and get my five dollars back. Then I probably kick their dog for even creating something that crappy.

What do you suggest then?
Okay I am sick and tired of this rom. It was working fine then I tried using some of my widgets and it would say they were not working, then acore kept closing and now none of my apps work, so I rebooted and it's stuck at the G1 screen, what the heck do I do now? So now my phone won't even boot into CM.
EDIT - Well I'm flashing Super E and hope that it's better.
Ive been running cm6 on my n1 for a month or so now and yesterday something very odd happened.
My phone was being sluggish and it was stuck on gprs in an area i always get full 3g. So i rebooted and i noticed maps decied to uninstall it self. So i go to the market and install it again and it tells me its already installed and its gonna overwrite the previous data. Then i noticed swype was gone so i go to reinstall it and again it tells me its already there and i install anyway. I try to type something with swype now reinstalled and the keyboard pops up but when i type something it just slides back down. So i reboot again and more apps are missing. So i go to the market and it fc's. then almost everything i try to do fc's on me. I tell my friend and he jokes you got a virus. So since im gonna reflash anyway i download the antivirus free app and it tells me everything is infected or whatever. So whatever i just reflash cm6 and install my apps and the only app antivirus flags is android wifi tether which i got from code.google. Anyway i reflash and just dont install wifi tether and all has been well.
Does anyone know wtf just happened? I know everyone says theres no suck thing as a virus on android and i know that the antivirus app is also questionable but i have no idea what just happened. I havent installed or done anything different than i usually do. I would really like a logical explanation of what happened.
Your apps were just taking a while to load. I've seen it happen before. I've opened my app drawer, and watched my apps slowly appear, one by one, at 5 to 10 second intervals...
Might be time to wipe?

Hey guys
I seem to have this odd problem. A week or so ago my Official Twitter app had a update so I clicked update as i normally would. But a few hours later I noticed that it STILL said installing. I ended up uninstalling the app in my system setting and nothing changed. Now on the marketplace it always says installing twitter. It getting REALLY old now. Worst of all i cant get twitter back now because it thinks its installing. Any ideas??
Thanks,
-Cyg
It ends up with re-flashing the phone for me. :-D

I was having a problem installing my apps, a simple reboot seems to help cure the problem temporarily.
However, I'm looking for more of a long term solution, and if I find one, I'll be sure to let you in on it.
I have the same problem. I installed a couple of programs and after uninstalling them, the download section of my market app, shows the 2 apps installing and I have no option of cancelling them or some other way of getting rid of them. Its quite annoying and i dont know what to do.
Any help would be appreciated
Update: After a few days of this problem, I went to download a new app and it just got fixed by itself. Odd cuz Ive downloaded apps during this period and tried other things to fix it, but with no success. Thank god its fixed lol
Had the same issue with a couple of apps, usually this helps:
1. Force close market
2. Clear the market cache
3. Reboot your phone
4. Install the app
FIXED IT! Tried everything and nothing worked. But what did work was finding the app online and manually installing it from the SD card. POW!
Ok, this is getting really, really annoying because i have to wipe data every 1-2 days, luckly i have Titanium Backup...but i can't keep doing this forever!
The issue started using Eclipse ROM, i was using Holo Locker, and one day the phone refused to unlock...i clicked every bloody button on the phone, i tried everything, and i got something only plugging it to a PC... the screen turned on, and what i saw was disheartening: The wallpaper was gone, it was black, and the touchscreen wasn't working...rubbing here and there i managed to make the touch working and managed to unlock the screen...but it didn't unlocked it just stayed...black! Totally surrended to my phone, i wiped everything and patiently i reinstalled some apps... and then it happened again! I initially thought that the issue was caused by Holo Locker, but i was wrong because stock locker was stuck too..but it was messed up, with some elements shifted a little lower...and this time, it didn't unlock!
As of now, i tried this with 3-4 Gingerbread ROMS, SBF'd 2 times, and nothing changed...sometimes, it just freezes...here are my guesses:
- Something messed up with phone itself (dunno what could be, maybe something that didn't get involved in flashing ROMs and SBFing?)
- Something stored into Google Backup (probably, it's this too, because i noticed that if i choose to put backups on the phone, at startup, it freezes after a very few minutes)
- It's something involved with the kernel, because it doesn't happen (for what i tried, it didn't) on ICS/JB ROMs
- I thought it was launcher's fault, but i tried multiiple launchers and it didn't worked anyway so...
Any guesses guys?
This doesn't happen to me, so I'd say it's either the phone or perhaps it's one of your apps. An interesting experiment would be to run the phone stock (i.e., install no apps, do not restore from Google during setup, though Google calendar, contacts, Google+, GMai, etc., sync should be ok) and see if you can get past where you usually see this happening. If so, then it's probably one or more of your apps. So, at that point, rank your apps from most to least important, and then install them in batches of 5 or so apps. If the freezing happens again, then maybe you narrow it down to one of those 5 apps.
Which SBF have you been using?

Yep, already done this, i ran the phone as stock, but nothing happened, now i flashed once again minimoto, AND restored from google account, and used the titanium backup from earlier...as of now nothing happened...i'll wait...
Thak you anyway
Ok, if anyone could ever have this problem, probably the issue was caused by the application "Wallpaper Changer" that i used to switch wallpaper every 2 hours...it probably got stuck somewhere and freezed the phone...as of now, it didn't freezed yet so i think i found the solution.
