Apps crashing after new CyanogenMod 5.0.5.2

After upgrading to 5.0.5.2, WaveSecure crashes on startup and the Market crashes when I try to download something with "The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
I've tried re-installing 5.0.5.2, but it's still not working.

Did you wipe? Or maybe fix uid mismatches (or whatever it is called) in recovery?

I'm having the same issue with Power Manager when it runs on startup. Just after inserting the pin code I get an alert to force close it. It kinda sucks actually...

Cherry Rplayer (which was the only radio app I could find a liked) crashes immediately when I launch it and 'A Online Radio' crashes when I first start my phone.
60 people have viewed my post and only got like one or two replies. No one will tell me are they using the latest cynogen mod and the same thing happens to them or not? Is there anything that can be done? Is this normal? Will those apps ever work if I keep the cynogen mod?
oh and spent the whole day trying to get my iTunes to the music player. Thought it was going to be fairly easy what with programs like doubleTwist - I looked into it before I got the phone - well holy crap what a nightmare!! Besides 19 of my songs being DRM protected, doubleTwist doesnt even work that great! Even with help from programs like Mp3tag songs are still not right with a few songs showing random cover art from other songs and a whole bunch of the songs saying 'unknown artist' even though the mp3 files are clearly tagged with the right song info!!!!!!!

I had to wipe in order to successfully instal the ROM. As for uid mismatches (or whatever it is called)- is that an option in recovery? What is that for what does that do? Will I have to reflash the ROM if I use it or will I loose in any data?
Wish everyone could be a little more informative to the newbies...
I've searched but cant find any info about apps force-closing, why that happens, or what can be done to correct the problem...

I am having the exact same problem with the Market FCs every time I try to install an app. I am currently troubleshooting the issue and I'm running CM 5.0.5.
So far I've..
re-flashed Google Apps add-on -> no luck
wiped Dalvik-cache -> no luck
factory/data reset then restore -> no luck
UPDATE: fix apk uid-mismatches cleared up the problem. Thanks jsapp! Boot into recovery (I'm using Amon v1.7), select Other and you should see the option.

Thanks jsapp and travon802!!! fix apk uid-mismatches now I have streaming radio again!!

For others who've experienced this, are you using MyBackup to backup/restore apps?

Only had four or five Apps but yeah I used my backup. I think it didn't backup a few of them and had to redownload from the market...

The reason I ask is because I can reproduce this issue of the Market FC'ing by restoring any app using MyBackup with the root option turned on.

Titanium Backup Important Info

Several general things to make your titanium backup and restore experience actually work properly.....
Be sure to be in debugging mode.
When first opening titanium, hit the menu button and go to preferences. Scroll all the way down to "app processing mode" and switch to "Auto, indirect"
NEVER restore system data (red and green text in titanium). Only apps. I know its a pain, but its easier to re-setup accounts and all that than restore and take the chance of the problems that usually arise from restoring system stuff.
I hope this helps people....

Restoring the data from apps that have the Titanium Backup icon will restore your wifi settings and your accounts along with various other settings.
To restore your contacts load the data from Contacts Storage 2.2 and not the contacts application itself.

How do we get TB to save to the external card? When I load a new ROM I have to use App Brain to redownload everything because I cannot find the TB files on the Ext SD card

Just copy the Titanium Backup folder to your external SD, then copy it back over after you flash.

I wasn't sure about this myself so what I did was just copy the TB folder to my computer and then copy it back to SD when I needed it. Maybe not the preferred method but it works.

Why?
The app itself recommends AUTO, Direct, and says that AUTO, Indirect is (If you have problems).

Under preferences change the backup folder to /SD/backup (for 2.1) /SD_external/backup (for leaked froyo). Make sure to look in that folder when restoring backups after a new flash.

False information? GTFO. Many people posted that batch restore "freezes" for them. Mine used to also, every time. Then I went to a titanium forum, found out to switch to indirect, and have NEVER had a problem since.

I didn't accuse you. "Cause it works" isn't an ideal explanation. So what you're saying is. "hit the menu button and go to preferences. Scroll all the way down to "app processing mode" and switch to "Auto, indirect" ...if you are experiencing freeze issues." He asked a simple question, why post a useless/snarky reply to him?

Looking back thru this thread, i see that i may not have explained WHY i posted this, so i will. As i said in the quote above, I searched a while to get ANY tibu support. That tip was THE MOST RECOMMENDED for problems, and it worked for me, so I thought I'd try to help others by posting. I apologize for not explaining further.
As far as being a little short in the last replies, i did not like being accused of posting false info.....

I do apologize for saying it was false. Just bad wording on my part, and could have been said more... politely.
Also, being pretty new to Android. It actually took quite some time to find out some the TiBu information you posted.
Thanks for the tip!

I was pulling my hair out for a whole day searching for good support for titanium, and FINALLY found that 1 tip, and found it worked EVERY time for me on batch restore. So i just wanted to help others by posting it, and felt offended by the wording.
Let's say "no harm, no foul" =)
And I'm glad if the tip benefits you!!! =))

It's something you'll see in the list of system items you can back up in Titanium Backup. Basically, scroll down the list of things you can back up, and anytime you see the Titanium Backup logo next to a system-type item (it'll usually be green) that's some system settings thing you can backup to later restore. It won't be an app, just some settings. I don't know if the Contacts 2.2 will show up for a 2.1 OS. Can't test that myself at this point.

Hey, thanks for the post, but question since you brought it up here and I was going to start another thread but you seem pretty knowledgeable about this...
When you install a new ROM or backup and restoring apps, is using TB really "clean"? I am so used to Windows crapola, that someone told me it is "cleaner" to just reinstall all your apps instead of risking some "crap" getting transferred over through TB's process.
I understand to not backup and restore system stuff now, but what if u do apps only, which is really the better, cleaner way to install in a new ROM?
Thanks.

i guess if you want the "cleanest" possible way, you should just reinstall the apps, but honestly i've never had a problem restoring with tibu (well that's not entirely true, but that was due more to user error )
if you do have a problem with a restored app you can always uninstall and reinstall from the market.
but everybody has their own voodoo rituals, so just find what works for you and makes you happy.:highfive:

What APK's are secure to remove.

Let's make a list of which apk's we can remove without the phone giving forcing close issues....
Code:
AnalogueAlarmWidget.apk
AnalogueClockWidget.apk
AppAdvisor_v1.5.78_production_signed_aligned.apk
CarHome.apk
com_lge_christmassnowcity.apk
com_lge_lgfirework2.apk
cyon.apk
DigitalAlarmWidget.apk
DigitalClockWidget.apk
EmailWidget.apk
F-Secure_Mobile_Security_Android22.apk
LGEmail.apk
LGLauncher.apk
MessageWidget.apk
PreloadedApp.apk
SNS.apk
Stk.apk
WorldClockWidget.apk

"App Advisor" and "Preloaded Apps 1.0" are fine to freez on uninstall from Titanium. no problems.

What is cyon.apk?
And why is it "safe" to fremover the og launcher? At least you should put your launcher of choice in system/app first....

Nothing will happen, you just will miss apps.
When you hard reset your phone it wiil just delete user data and cache partition.
Any changes to system folder means you make changes to rom and cannot be undone without reflashing or restore backup.
Be careful with deleting of apps! If something goes wrong and the phone is not booting we don't have any global rom and flashing tool for now.

Just freez them with Titanium backup if you want the free mem.... space wise deleting them is not really nessecary.... or pull them out with adb first.

Some Insight
Let's work top down guys, no panic, no alarm.
There are "system apps" and there are "system apps"
Most people refer to any app that's installed on the system partition as a "system app" but the real definition of a "system app" is one that is signed with a root or platform key. This key allows the app to interact with the OS at the lowest level, manipulating resources and other apps.​
It's safe to remove either
You can remove either types of these apps but some may be dependencies for other apps and removing these can cause Force Closes.​
A Factory Reset does not touch the system partition
As stated above, any modifications you make to the system partition (/system/*) will withstand a Factory Reset. This is why root still works after a Factory Reset.​
Safe-to-remove apps
I personally provided the list above and can confirm that these apps are safe to remove but you need to be aware:
Some apps are required (like a Launcher), if you remove it, make sure you have an alternative installed.
Some apps are not available on the Market, you may not be able to substitute them.
Make a backup before you delete any apps!
Note: For critical apps, like a Launcher you *must* have one on your system partition! Do *not* remove your only Launcher from the system partition!​
Additional Apps
A lot more can be safely removed from the system partition but they do not consume real-time resources and therefore there is no substantial benefit in removing them. I will post a full schedule of these apps later if somebody doesn't beat me to it.​
Enjoy.

More safe to remove: All widgets (loads of them), livewallpaper, protips, maps, lg memo

instead of making backup of the APK files with ADB... can't i just use root explorer to copy the APK files to a folder on my internal sd or computer ??

Errug bedankt ! Nice overview.
Since space isn't an issue just freezing them with Titanium Backup should free up the memory as well right?
I'll be waiting for a conclusive list of "freezable" apps. ( And patiently await a custom booloader so we can get some really good custom roms.)

@Xmoo
Haven't see inside the ROM but I assume googlefeedback.apk is in there.
Wouldn't hurt killing that to.

I wish I've red this thread before tinkering around witgh my phone. Seem to have kinda bricked it after owning it for 3 days.
I was playing around with it trying to get rid of the facebook, twitter & myspace for LG apps but I couldn't figure out what they were called in the Titanium Backup Pro list så i backed up LG Home (or was it just called LG) and naively thought the worst thing that could happen was that I would have to do a hard factory reset if anyting went wrong.
But as the android n00b that I am (first android phone) I should have known that LG Home is the launcher! So know I have a phone I can check emails on but if I go past the startup guide it crasches and im stuck at the startup LG logo until I do another hard factoryreset.
Anyone know if the default image/ROM is soon to be released or should I take a shot and send my phone in for repair hoping that they never pick up on what I did?
Sorry of this is offtopic.

There are a couple of threads with similar problems, so search a bit and you should find a way to fix it

Have someone send you the lg home apk via email and install, or perhaps another launcher if you want. You'll get the "Install ?" question when you open the mail.. do so and you have a launcher again.

When I check out my Active Services I can see the following programs: Whatsapp services (2), Twitter (1), Sim-toolkit (1), Google Services Framework (2), Media (without anything beneath it), Music (2), com.lge.omadmclient (1), Bluetooth Share (2) weird cause bluetooth is OFF! , Wheather & clock update (1), On-Screen phone (1), DRM Service (1), Maps (1), LG PC Suite ObexManager (1), and the Gingerbread Keyboard (1).
Big list in comparison to my G1 and I guess there can be SOME things deleted. Altough I don't know which ones. A guess:
1. Media (what does this do?)
2. Music (I disabled the music bar, and don't want that service running all the time!)
3. com.lge.omadmclient (what's this?)
4. Bluetooth Share... weird thing because I have my bluetooth OFF all the time... how to get rid of these?
5. Wheather & clock updater. I don't use that widget so...?
6. On-Screen phone, what does it do?
7. DRM Service
8. LG PC Suite ObexManager?
Can somebody please tell me if I can get rid of (some) of these services, and if so, which programs to freeze Thanks!

[Zeus 6.2x] Apps disappearing in Zeus?

Hi,
thorughout the last updates of Zeus, 6.2 through 6.28, I've had apps disappearing from Zeus after the updates.
Some may be related to the fact that they are included in Zeus, like e.g. Titanium Backup. After each update titanium backup disappeared even though I did not install it with the Zeus tweaker tool but regularly through Play store. The Pro-License key "app" was still there.
Also, some apps have broken shortcuts on the homescreens after the updates. Are those the apps that were automatically installed to the SD card?
In the last update (6.28) an app disappeared that had nothing to do with Zeus, some app for local gas prices.
Anybody know what might be the reason for these effects?
Thanks
Jo

I'm not sure if this can be categorized as the same problem but i don't actually have the LG stock clock app on Zeus 6.28

As to the apps like titnium backup, look what is included into zeus 6.28 updater script:
Code:
delete("/data/app/com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk");
delete("/data/app/com.adobe.flashplayer-2.apk");
delete("/data/app/com.alensw.PicFolder-1.apk");
delete("/data/app/com.alensw.PicFolder-2.apk");
delete("/data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk");
delete("/data/app/com.android.vending-2.apk");
delete("/data/app/com.devuni.flashlight-1.apk");
delete("/data/app/com.devuni.flashlight-2.apk");
delete("/data/app/com.splunchy.android.alarmclock-1.apk");
delete("/data/app/com.splunchy.android.alarmclock-2.apk");
delete("/data/app/com.teslacoilsw.flashlight-1.apk");
delete("/data/app/com.teslacoilsw.flashlight-2.apk");
delete("/data/app/jackpal.androidterm-1.apk");
delete("/data/app/jackpal.androidterm-2.apk");
delete("/system/app/Flashlight.apk");
delete("/system/app/OperaMiniNext.apk");
delete("/system/app/TitaniumBackup.apk");
delete("/system/bin/wmdsi");
delete("/system/build.prop.bak");
.
.
.
You can see, that there are lines couses deleting some system data which is going to be updated, there are also lines deleting some apps data.
More you can see when you open the zip and go to: META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script <- open the file as text and look into it
maybe there is the answer.

It happend to me.. but.. try to unmount your SDCard them mount it or just reboot your OB

Yes, I thought that something like this is happening what you're showing in the script. Haven't had the chance to look at all the different files yet. Thanks for posting.
As far as the other apps go, I always reboot at least once after the device comes up after an update.
The user data of the missing apps still seams to be there when i reinstall (e.g. alarm clock settings of th AlarmDroid), favorite gas stations in the app mentioned above, etc.
It's not a big deal, anyway, but just making sure that those side effects are not something pathologic.

Some Rom questions about apps

Hello, i have some questions about the inbuilt apps in a rom.
1. There are always tons of useless apps in the roms, are there roms without apps? i mean why the hell is someone preinstalling facebook, twitter, google+ apps for me??? If i need them i can install them... :/
2. Can i remove the normal "browser" or will the phone get buggy then, couse who needs 2 browsers?
3. Why are so much Rom builders are using this ES filebrowser? I never saw a bad app like that.. it can't even tell me how much free space my sd card has..

1. you can just uninstall them by rooting your phone and use titanium backup to remove those useless application, there are no rom without any application installed if there is the phone will not work on how it supposedly work
2. yes you can use titanium backup but do nandroid backup just to be sure that you can back to phone normal state if there is a problem exist
3. for this i really don't know just wait and there's someone surely answer your questions more intelligently

Ah okay.. yeah well sure an android phone need apps to work, but its just that i had to remove them all again
about the browser... i also can freeze them - if i freeze an app it won't use any ram memory right? so i could just freeze the browser.. Apps that are not system relevant i really delete.. speak memo, twitter, google+, googlemail and so
I made a backup of my CM7 with titanbackup - how can i get some data out of the backup? like phone numbers that aren't synched with google - or whatsapp messages? The first time i did recover the whole CM7 was recovered
And is there a way to "cook" the rom myself? i hope its the same word like it was for nokia roms there you had a rom browser and could delete apps or add apps you wanted to install with the rom and that was called cooking.. So if i get a rom i would check what apps are in and could remove the .apk

Yes you can free ram if your browser keep running but you can force stop the browser in "manage application"
In backup i think you can extract it? Not so sure so we should wait for answer for this
