yesterday, I pluged in my charger and started browsing.
at one moment phone freezed, purple led flashed and phone rebooted
after that a lot of apps I had installed are missing. among them are gmail, google search widget, play store, titanium backup, some office from market (can't remember which) ...
and one widget I use can't be loaded on startup but if I remove it and add again it works.
I tried all I can think off except factory reset.
I tried deleting cache, dalvik cache, switched app2sd off (which were on, although I remember leaving it off), fixed permissions from recovery ...
I even reinstalled kernel and ROM and gapps, but no change at all which is really strange.
I use MiniCM7-2.2.0 ROM and 2.6.29.6-nAa-11 kernel
SD card is working, I can browse files and swap is working.
It also seems that rebooting doesn't work well. Sometimes, I choose reboot but it doesn't boot up until I pull out battery and press power button.
I'm not sure if this is connected because I didn't reboot much phone with this kernel and ROM
Any ideas before I wipe data?
Overclocked ?

Apps2sd that's why ur apps r gone. Full wipe and reflash rom. Reboot issue can be fixed with latest flashtool reflash kernel with that. Worked for me no reboot problems no more
Hit thanx if I helped
Sent from my E15i using XDA
thank you for fast replies
phone is not overclocked.
I also guess it has something to do with app2SD
but I do not use it.
when I installed ROM I wanted to use Link2SD but it couldn't work because of build in App2SD.
I tried that App2SD but I couldn't control which apps to move, I even didn't exactly understood how it works, so I gave up of it.
Everything worked until yesterday.
and I only browsed internet when this happened. what could go wrong?
Is there a way to fix this before I wipe the whole thing?
I would like to make some backups and for that I need missing apps.
thank you
Oh,
and the strangest thing to me is that even after I reflash gapps, I don't have any google apps (at least which I use) except google talk
Try this:
Root again your phone with SuperOneClick.
Go to Settings >CM Settings >Performance >a2sd, and deactivate it. Then, activate it again.
Reboot.
Hopefully... it will fix your problem (worked for me ).
any particular version of superoneclick I should use? I tried one I have (which I used to root my phone a long time ago) and it fails to root it.
but why do you think I should root again? This is custom room and it is already rooted.
I tried turning on and off app2sd but there's no change, except some files are in one case in sd-ext directory and in other arent. but that are not missing apps :-(
Use the newest version, it will work. If not... use any method to root your phone again and follow the above guide (YES, I know that your ROM is rooted, just do it).
Why you should root again? Well, I already had that problem and all root apps were having problems (I dunno if you are having problems too, try it), so I rooted again my phone and all the problems were solved.
I repeated this with superoneclick 2.3.3 but no difference.
I had to full wipe the phone.
thanks all for suggestions.
EDIT: just to be clear, it did root this time, but no difference about this apps.

Need some help with an error. I've seen a couple of posts about this, but no one was giving their situation/phone info to make any help effective. So, here goes.
I got a new SD card (bigger, and class 6). I used Backup (root) from the Market to save everything, partitioned my SD card, upgraded the partition to ext3, wiped my phone, re-installed Cyanogen's 4.2.13 (I use apps2SD) and the Community Hero Mix Theme (Reg Launcher and Stericsson's Lock Screen). Also reset the Radio Image, and have 2.22.19.261. Restored everything with the Backup app, then re-booted.
All apps are installed (successfully tested about 20). After Auto-Sync, I turned off syncing and ran fix_permissions, then re-booted. Gmail app's cache was cleared on a whim.
Now, whenever I go to download a Market update, I get the com.google.process.gapps Force Close. Unable to update any apps, although the whole list is there. Nandroid restore fixes everything, but I noticed my phone running MUCH faster after the wipe, so I'd like to get this figured out. Have tried the above process 3 times, but no success. And, like they say, Insanity is trying the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.
you should start fresh anyway and next time please here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=507
After wipe prob should be gone.
Next time, please post your questions in the Questions and Answers forum.
Moved.
After wipe prob should be gone.
Um, unfortunately that's a no. The wipe seems to be causing the problem. As I said, I've re-done this whole process 3 times. Every time I come back from the wipe, I have the force close. Only nandroid gets rid of the problem. And nandroid returns the lagginess issues.
Could try another rom like dwang or superD1.2 and see if you get the same errors.. I was getting gapps forceclose and tried many times finally I tried another rom "superd" and been happy since then! Stable and greeat speed
You just need to uninstall market updates in settings --> manage applications.
By the way, I would suggest not using backup for root users, usually the work required to come back from that is the same as from a fresh wipe.

I'm very familiar with manage applications uninstalls, however, the Market Updater app does not give un-install as an option. I can Clear Data, Clear Cache, Clear defaults (these three are grayed out), or I can Force Stop, which doesn't seem to do anything. Any other ideas?
New Symptom
As a result (I'm sure) of changing SD cards when the old one had all of my apps on it, I have about 10 apps that were protected that did not transfer by the Backup process. My phone thinks I have them, the Market thinks I have them, but I can neither uninstall them (option grayed out in the Market and they are non-existant in the Manage Applications menu), nor can I update them (as the Market seems to think I already have them). The shortcuts are of course broken, and the "Open" button in the Market is also grayed out.
Any ideas?
PS-I've tried clearing the Market cache, but didn't help.

Never mind, I popped my old SD in and used Titanium Installer to take care of my apps problem.
Still looking for help on the force close. Even does it straight after a factory wipe with vanilla 1.6!
I'm betting the Market Updater is the culprit, but can't seem to find a way to get rid of it.
Thanks in advance!

Hi All!
I'm new to this forum, but I registered because I had exactly the same problem. I've updated to the latest CyanogenMod 4.2.13. Since then I had the same crash ever since, i whipped about 4 times and downgraden step by step to 4.2.12 and 4.2.11 which all worked perfectly before. But now i had the same problem.
So i went back a few steps and reinstalled the HTC image which was needed to use the google apps again. When I installed this one. Then i booted it, hey everything works! Nice, reinstall Cyanogen 4.2.13 and just whiped it again (who cares ) and tadaaa, everything works.
Hope it works for you as well!
Good luck!
i was having the same issue when i was trying to install Cyanogens 4.2.13 coming from a different rom also. i found the solution here... hxxp://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/Operating-System-Software/the-process-com-process-gapps-has-stopped-unexpectedly-on-CM-s-4/td-p/288743
(don't know if i can post direct links to other sites so i just replaced the t's with x's at the beginning of the URL)
basically what you gotta do is flash cm-4.2.9.1 1st and after you sign in let it sync, then reboot and flash cm-4.2.13 over with no wipe and everything should be fine. let me know if this helps. it worked for me
Now, whenever I go to download a Market update, I get the com.google.process.gapps Force Close. Unable to update any apps, although the whole list is there.

Had the same problems.. started last night when I tried to use my VPN on the phone to sign in to Market.. once signed in.. google accounts asked me to sign in again..(verify account) big mistake.. as it seems that it has registered me twice on the phone somehow..
anyway.. the FC on sync came thick and fast.. was out last night.. so couldn't actually take the time to check what was going on..
today did some research..
for me.. after trying a few processes.. I have gone the route of using Titanium backup and freezing the Gmail applications.. I never used it anyway.. as used the stock HTC email program..
happy to report that the FC on sync's have now stopped..
Edits: nope bloody thing.. got a few this morning on bootup.. and it seems market is dead for me..
I have reformatted the card and wiped all cache's.. but still got problems..
hesitant to do a hard reset at the moment as using the phone in China.. So dont actually know what it will wipe out if I reset it?
Can someone chime in here for me..
so the question is.. if i do a hard reset.. will I lose the actually settings that make it hook in to the phone network?
and I suppose from this we get.. how do I pull all of these settings out of the phone to reuse them again after the reset?
Thats a HTC EVO with stock rom
few specs on the software..
Firmware : 2.1 update 1

Edit: after searching the net for the last few days for a fix.. its seems to be a Android bug.. no amount of wipes and resets put me back on track..
So in the end I went for a fresh Rom... Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo - [RLS 5 - 01/07/2011] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793471

For some reason my Nexus One running FRF85B is unable to install or uninstall any apk's. It just hangs at the installing... or uninstalling... respectively. Has anyone else ever seen that?
Installing has always been really darn quick. Now it just appears to be hanging.
EDIT: Adding new symptom: "Manage Applications" shows the apps installed , but their space is forever listed as "Computing...". It's like the manage applications service is just hosed.
Randy
I have seen that as well. I would have to exit (back or home) then when I got back to the applications screen again it wouldn't have to load at all.
Same here, AT&T Nexus One using FRF85B.
The weird thing is, the app(s) actually DO uninstall or install correctly, just that the Market page shows it's not, and hangs at it.
When I force stop the market, then relaunch and check my downloads, they're now reset to the correct info.
Well I'm glad it is not just me. Thinking it was a bad ROM I reinstalled (with complete wipe) Modaco's ROM, then stock Froyo, etc.
Problem went away when I just said screw it and installed CM 5.0.8.
The only problem that persists now is the server error going to the downloads tab of the market. I can't seem to lick that one even though apps download and install fine from the market.
On a side note CM5.0.8 still is snappier than Froyo. I'm salivating at the thought of CM6.
If anyone is also getting persistent errors with the market downloads tab, please chime in. I find it suspicious that I'm having this problem regardless of which ROM is installed.

No matter what I do I still get the server error in the Android Market application when I go to the downloads tab.
I've re-flashed the Froyo Radio and tried both CM 5.0.8 and Froyo.
I don't see others complaining about this so I have to imagine there's something wrong on my end. I just don't know how to diagnose it. Does anyone have any ideas? At All?

I did see that in the CM 5.0.8 ROM, but Froyo is a complete no-go. I've reflashed the radio, and have been using Modaco's ROM because it is the only one I know of that is just a rooted update I can flash with Amon-RA's recovery, but still no luck.
This is scary.
UPDATE
I went all the way back to Stock, Unrooted 2.1 from January, and still get the server error in the downloads page of the Market app. So for giggles, I wiped, created a new gmail account, and lo and behold, everything works. I could download apps, and they showed up in the download tab as installed.
That pretty much puts an end to thinking it's an app/ROM/radio problem, I think.
I then wiped again, went through initial setup with my primary Google account and I'm back to server errors on the downloads tab.
I guess maybe it really IS a server error. Don't know what I can do about it, except gripe...but at least I can stop scratching my head over what ROM/Radio is installed.
After several days of experimenting, the fact is that on any Froyo rom, whether it's stock or rooted, google's or cyanogen's, wiped or not wiped, new gmail account or existing gmail account, what I'm seeing is that, even if I wipe, go into Android and DO NOT enter a google account, going straight to settings | Manage Applications | running applications, shows "Computing..." forever.
Now, if I do a full wipe, it doesn't know anything about my account, right? And the cache, and all that are all wiped. So, what could possibly cause the infinite "Computing..." in the apps?
Does anyone know?
It happened to me as well last night. I was installing an apk (updating over an older version), and it showed "Installing...." forever. No hardware button gave me any response and I eventually had to reboot the machine by pressing the 3 buttons (luckily this worked. I really hate the thought of pulling the battery out...). After the reboot I tried again and it installed without a problem.
I m on a stock Nexus One FRF91, never hv an issue b4 that latest system update. Looks like it is bringing more issues to me...
what 3 buttons reboot the phone?
The same thing is happening to me. When trying to install any market app, it just hangs at "installing. I have to reboot the phone to get it to stop doing it.
Every once in a while, about 1 out of 15 times, I can get an app to install correctly and quickly, but all the other times it hangs.
It started happening when going to froyo. I have tried several different froyo mods and the same thing happens on all of them. When I nandroid back to 2.1 it is fine.
It happens to me with the Rodriguezstyle mod, the Kang-O_rama mod and the evil n-one shot Noir mod.
In order to fix this issue. You MUST do the following steps:
1. Wipe the SD card.
2. Wipe ext partition (if there)
3. Delete spareparts if you have it ANYWHERE on the system
4. Reboot the system into recovery
5. Wipe all cache's
Tada! Fixed!
This fixed it for me on Kang-O-Rama.
I belive the problem is when moving ROMs and the new app2SD feature stores files on the SD. When moving ROM's, it try's to scan them but fails. Something is stuck in a loop and wont stop .
When taking out the SD card, it ALL works flawlessly (give it a go if you need to install some apps to help)

Press the trackball, volume down and the power button all at the same time.
If you have root then the app quick boot is a one click solution.
When I was or do have a stalling at the install. I clear the market data and this works for me. I also try to keep the cache clear.
I have a bit of a problem here. Today I was at work and I notice that my Gmail app was unusable (it forced close on opening).
So, I restarted the phone and now all the apps I had installed on the phone are not showing in application list as well as gapps that are missing.
But the funny thing is that they are all there if I go in :
Setting>Application>Manage Applications
Everything is there, even google apps and I can uninstall them (I've tried with lookout and it uninstall perfectly). Once uninstall I can't install anything even if I have the apk file on my sdcard.
What can I do appart from hard reset? I have bell SGS i9000M UGJH2 stock, rooted and lag fixed wit OCLF. Arround 150 apps were installed.
I don't have any recent backup on Titanium and I will lose a lot of app data. It doesn't matter for sms as I had them backed up automaticaly on gmail before all my apps stopped working.
I've already tried wipping the cache partition and it didn't solve the problem.
Do you think I can flash back my firmware without partitionning and keep my data this way?
Could it be dangerous to flash gapps from Cyanogen wiki to see if once the market is back I have my installed apps showing again?
Update : I've tried to flash google apps from recovery and it seems to works at first as it showed up as "Installing package - Installing google applications" but the phone restarted before the bar reached the end and nothing changed. My phone is still showing only 21 apps (stock apps). Everything installed by me is not showing and google apps (Market, gmail, gtalk, maps, navigation etc..) are also gone.
It looks like something is preventing me from using my apps and installing anything.
Update : I just turn off the phone after I remove some apps to free space and see if it chages something but when I turn back on the phone it hangs on the big S logo.
Then I had the worst feeling ever. I tought my SDCARD was dead cause it's one of the symptoms of a dead i9000m sdcard.
So I just start in recovery and did a factory reset followed by a flash with odin of stock UGJH2 firmware and I tick repartition. Everything went fine and the phone is now factory fresh except that my internal sdcard is full of stuff.
Now my question is : Do you think this proble might be related to OCLF??? I applied the fix when I had some apps already installed (arround 100). I still had 500Mb free at this point. Had 380 when my apps stopped showing up.
The same thing happened to me shortly after I installed voodoo lag fix. Ended up having to get the phone replaced. Eventually my phone stopped booting up all together.. I would avoid lagfixes..
My phone is working fine for now. I applied voodoo lagfix right after the flash with odin and restored all my apps from a 3 weeks old back up, it's been good for today. The phone is not as fast as it was with OCLF but still better than stock. Hope it's not related to lag fix. Only future will tell. Waiting for other to comments on that!
delete.
delete this.
I'm currently on Bell gt-i9000m, and I upgraded to 2.3.3 using odin and XXJVB/JVK
I started experiencing problems with my apps, installing from Market, as well as Applanet(yes I know that app is not legal as such, but I used it to see if Market was the problem) however it happens o matter if I use Market, or install .apk files
Every time Install the app, say Boat Browser (I have tried over 20 different apps), the app works perfectly, until I reboot. I have tried powering off, and plain reboot, but every time the reboot finalizes, in the app drawer shows the icon grey'd out and with a little SD symbol at the top corner. Now I know what you are thinking, after I installed apps, I have also tried moving from SD to Internal, and back, but still same outcome.
I read in another thread that it's the buggy TW launcher, so I used Market, as well as Applanet to install a new launcher, ADW shows under applications list as com.something and it will to let me move.
I am not on a stock rom, however I have tried SimplyHoney, Juwe, and GingerReal. I LOVE SimplyHoney, the blue aura and the way everything looks, I love it. The only reason I found it is because GingerReal my apps disappeared as well.
I have also tried formatting My Internal SD, and External SD, same result.
I have also tried researching the methods on the threads already active, but nothing relevant is available.
So, no matter what App I install, how it's installed, I cannot get my apps to stay installed.
Please HELP! Thanks!
-Dave Husk
That used to happen to me!
Are you sure you converted your filesystem to rfs before flashing new roms?
Have you tried going back to stock and the flash a custom rom?
Is all apps disappear after a reboot, or it is just a few apps?
no just select few new ones i download, even the gmail disappeared, but now it stays, its so weird!
Have u try factory reset? I used to have that problem too but factory reset fixed it.
It happened with me also. For me, uninstalling adw launcher worked. Now I m usinf go launcher and no problem on reboots.
Sounds like a filesystem problem. I had this when I messed up ext4 conversion a couple of times. Flash a fresh rom and lagfix (if you want to) before installing anything.
AS the title says, phone has become really slow. Previously had no problems.
I did change the CPU settings in ROM management toolbox which seems to me to be the culprit, i changed it back but the phone is still really slow at loading app icons on homescreen and in app drawer.
I have reset permissions, scanned for viruses, cleared cache, etc. But still slow.
Anyone an idea what to do besides boot into recovery and resinstall Marvel? or is that really the best way????
Cheers in advance.

Did you want to try the Marvel 12 Beta?
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390362690511177071
Install, do a factory reset, set the governor, and see if it does the trick.
I recommend installing the Xperia Launcher 2.05b. Hopefully Tantrums will be including this in v12 Final:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2103403
Your issue may also be related to a specific app you've installed. I ran into issues with a particular app after an automatic upgrade, and it took me a while to figure out the culprit. I contacted the developer and he was quick to fix the issue, but this stuff does happen. Many times you can figure out what's going on by reading the "1-star" reviews for your installed apps on the Play Store. I would message the developer if you find something.
Cheers.
I was thinking of installing v12, but thought id wait until it was officially released.
I guess i will uninstall all apps, to see if it makes a difference, then if not i guess i will reinstall v11 for now.
Actually, thats just too slow, i will ust reinstall v11 ROM.
Thanks.

If you are on Marvel11 and want to reinstall Marvel11 cause you want to change anything in the settings or just cause there did anything go wrong just reboot to recovery and start the Aroma install package of Marvel11 without any whippe at all, that's all, should fix everything.

Yea thats what i did. All was ok.
but then i started to clean up files on my phone. I think i deleted some files i should not have and now i have a phone that i cant enter into recovery mode. It just boots up and shows the coloured X from the X-peria bootloader (for some reason cos i didnt install it) asks for SIM unlock, which i do, but it only shows a handful of apps, standard ones i imagine, but no fast rebbot, or ROM toolbox, or CWM app. So then how do i now enter recovery??????
AHHHHHHHH!!!!! LOL
Ah i found a possible way out of this conundrum i found myself in i think
i had access to play store, so as i couldnt see ROM toolbox in apps, i redownloaded it so i could enter recovery mode.
So that i have done, now i just need to see what i have when the phone has rebooted, but i think that will have worked.
I think i must have deleted the data files or something when cleaning up the phone :/
Yea. looks like i have to reinstall all apps. No biggy then. Phew!!
Just a little reminder: If you use Windows 'adb reboot recovery' will do the trick too.

A fresh install with v12 Beta will take less time than you've already spent. Just have your additional apps (outside the Play Store) in a folder on the SD card.

Should i preform a factory reset as well? I ask because i am on Mac, so performing any procedures where i need to hook up the phone to a computer, although not impossible, is a bit of a task. Will installing Marvel v12 actually fix the issue in itself?????
I have actually installed Go SMS Pro and Handcent, which work in terms of being able to retrieve MMS, but it hasnt done anything to fix the stock/Optimus G MMS app.
Hehe, I should install Marvel 12 i know, I am just holding back a bit.

I use Go SMS too. I liked Pansi soooo much, but the last update continually crashes on my Marvel ICS.

You install the ROM, then you do the factory reset.
The factory reset returns things to a raw ROM state, getting rid of anything you've added since installing the ROM. So yes, it will wipe anything you download from the Play Store. I do it immediately after installing the ROM.
Put Marvel 12 Beta on the SD card (root directory), and any non-Play Store items you'd like to install in a folder on the card.
