Went in and changed background on facebook app and pandora...now my facebook account is gone and won't come back and pandora widget disappeared. All I did was change backgrounds...ideas?
Sent From My CELB2.3 Eris
Mine did the same thing running kaosfroyo v32. Not sure about Pandora, but for Facebook, go into the Facebook app, go to settings, then under other settings where it says sync contacts it probably says "don't sync". Change that and you should be good. You may have to go into your contacts and manually link them, but it should work. It worked for me.
You may have better luck with an answer if you post in the Q&A section, sorry I can't help you though. Hope you solve this.

My best suggestion would be to uninstall Pandora, remove your Facebook accts on Settings and resync Facebook. Make the changes you want, then redownload and install Pandora.
Had this issue as well for Transparent Chaos. A couple different things might help, one, rebooting. Two, make sure that when you change something in Market apks, it often helps, or is even necessary to sign the apks. Apk Manager is helpful for this (suggested by Daneshm90). So, all that combined with jsuh's suggestions should put you on the right track.
I will be updating this as we get more info in. Just post a reply and I'll edit the top here.

Titanium backup or use es file manager with root access checked off in settings and delete them or any file manager that has root access really but you shouldn't delete them..just move them to a folder on your sd card or rename them to .bak or freeze them with titanium backup..this way if anything goes wrong you will be able to fix it
Hope I helped

I remove the video editing app without any problems.
EDIT: I froze all the "authenticator" apps without a problem.
Code:
rm /system/app/VCA*
rm /system/app/IM*
Remove most Vcast
IMPresence that is all over the logcat (hoping to see some battery saving w/ this)

Im not so sure about removing anything blur or moto related. It was said that com.motorola.android.buacontactadapter was removed, but does anyone know what it does? The main thing I dislike the most is the way the camera handles flash and the way it is linked to gallery. (I hate the moto gallery, QuickPic FTW). If camera360 supported FFCs I would be much more likely to use it.

Also - word of warning - do not remove VSuiteApp.apk - I thought it was the VCast Media Manager, but removing it puts the phone into a "Force close" loop, which even ADB can't get you out of (can't SU while in the "force close" loop). I had to reboot the phone to get it working again and restore the APK file to its correct location, which was a pretty tense experience.

I removed the VSuiteApp.apk just fine. No issues here. the force close loop is caused because the application was running at the time of deletion. VCast Media Manager is known as NewBayVault_4.2.99.36.Market.apk . this can happen to any of the apps if they are system apps that are running during time of deletion
@Darksurf -thanks for that, VCast media manager now removed.
Edited my earlier post to add that APK to the list.
On removing VSuiteApp.apk - what does that app do? It seems to be related to the voice recognition system as far as I can see. Be safe to remove if you don't want voice IO, perhaps?
I removed the DLNA app, it started giving immediate problems with repetitive force close notices. Pulled the battery, restarted, never happened again.
So I used Root Explorer to rename most of the same apps everyone is listing as .bak. I then gave my phone a few hours run to see how everything behaved and that I didn't freeze anything important. Once I was satisfied with that I started actually deleting certain apps (ie. blockbuster, zumo, any vzw app) because all we kept saying was "remove the bloatware." Now I'm seeing everyone say we shouldn't have actually removed anything. All that being said, how can I replace the apps I actually deleted and simply go back and .bak them?
Can I delete GlobalNWSwitch.apk? Is this what makes the phone keep on asking whether you want to switch back to Global mode once the signal is lost for a while?
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!

Hey guys, I've come across a problem I've never had before. Recently I've had errors popping up of low memory and a lot of FC's of Facebook, messaging, browser, pretty much everything. I'll look for apps in the play store or browse games and can only scroll down about 2 inches before I hit the bottom. I've used various cleanup apps and still low on ram. Been running aokp jellybean build 5 for months without problems. Any suggestions?

what is actually running after you boot phone? settings, apps, running tab will show.
have you tried booting into recovery and wiping both dalvik and cache?
other suggestion would be to deny startup or else freeze various apps to see if that helps.

Perhaps a little update wouldn't hurt, there's AOKP JB milestone now. Little backup, clear/wipe and flash it.
But like laughingT mentioned, chances are that you have a app draining your RAM.
Well I updates to milestone 1 originally but when I did the lock screen theme never changed when I changed themes as well as other things (keyboards etc) so I went back to build 5.
After rebooting my phone and seeing what apps are running after starting up and its 3 Google maps, Google, voxer, gmail, OMC widget, Facebook, play music and stuff like that before I've even opened anything

Maps can be stopped (make sure GPS isn't on). I heard OMC Widget caused a lot of battery drain but might've been updated since then. And Voxer, you can stop it and only start it when you need it.
you could try System Tuner, available on google play.
the startups button, gives a list of all apps, system and user, has ability to selectively disable apps at startup.
I use it to prevent Google maps and many others from loading at boot. don't go overboard, say by disabling keyboard or settings, obviously.
I think OMC widget has been updated, but batt use may vary with which widget you select and how frequently you set it to update.
I'm using OMC with the clock weather batt bubble thingy widget, and from what I can see, it suspends updating when screen is off.

After the Verizon OTA JB update (4.1.2), My Gallery will not open. It just says "Error while launching application." The default camera app does the same thing.
Third party apps (LittlePhoto and Camera ZOOM FX) seem to be working fine, and I am looking for a good Gallery app in case I cannot get this fixed.
I tried clearing data/cash for Gallery app. I found somewhere that this was supposed to fix this problem. It didn't.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

i would just wipe data in recovery
you will need to backup, texts, call logs, contacts… if you want to save

Really hoping there is an easier way to fix this. Looks like several people have the problem (judging by a google search), but no solutions yet.
Motorola's "My Gallery" was removed by the update and replaced with Google "Gallery" app.
If My Gallery is still listed (and tied to the camera) it sounds like your install didn't install completely or you restored things after the update.
You may want to flash the JB fastboot files, factory reset and reconfigure.
That was it! Looks like the camera app was also replaced. I was using App Manager. It kept the "links" to the old apps in the icon folders. After removing the old camera and gallery icons, and then adding the new ones, everything works fine.
Thanks tcrews!
