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

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..

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.
Soooo I've been using cm7 since it was still nightly 1 but I havent really had any wonk issues. However recently my camera, no longer works, the app loads fine but when you attempt to take a pic it force closes.... Heres where it gets strange apps that use the camera like google docs the camera works fine.... The other camera apps in the market work fine just not the stock camera app..
Has any one else had these issues?
Sent from my Nexus One
Has this occurring since you flashed it, or did it develop afterward? I would try clearing camera data see what happens.
it was random and I tried wiping camera data but I also tried reloading from titanium still no fix
Then maybe you will need to either factory reset or do a clean install.
Similar story
My camera app randomly stopped working recently. Not upon an update, but randomly. (CM7 stable) I wiped the device, reflashed the ROM/Gapps, and it still is broken. When you tap to launch it, it just restarts the device (same if launched from another app, such as barcode scanner, etc.). I also tried deleting its data, to no avail.
Anybody figure this out?
What version is your radio/baseband (Settings -> About Phone -> Baseband)? We go off the two sets of numbers after the underscore "_". Something like 4.06 or 5.08...
Mine's 5.08.00.04
Try a more recent version of CM7. Much have been updated since RC1.
If still having problems a clean wipe usually does the trick.
Sorry, my bad. This problem started with CM7. I then clean wiped and tried CM7.1.0 RC1, and that's what's running right now (with no difference on the camera).
When you wiped the device, was this through ROM Manager? If so, you may want to try a system-only wipe. Under clockworkmod you can do it in the mounts and storage menu. If you are running amon_ra, you will need to use a flashable zip that will wipe it for you. Temasek has one somewhere in here http://mediafire.com/temasek
Then reinstall CM and gapps. This won't cause any data loss.
I had wiped it from ROM Manager, so I followed your instructions (I am running clockworkmod). Unfortunately, that didn't change anything.
I been running CM7 stable for two weeks and that is one complain I have the picture quality sucks compare to stock android, I have to play with the contrast,saturation and sharpness every time to take a decent picture. As Far as the Camera bugging out on me I don't have any issues.
Did anyone manage to fix this problem WITHOUT taking it to the service centre?
For some reason, I still believe this is a software issue and not a hardware one.
Anybody?
Yeah, my feeling is it has to be software too, but I can't for the life of me seem to solve it. Anybody else have this issue??

Hey all, I recently followed all the guides on here to update my TP. Was runningn CM9 for over a year, and needed a change. Decided on Jcsullins snapshot, cm-10.1-20131210-SNAPSHOT-VPN-tenderloin.zip, as I need bluetooth and camera to work, and also wanted low battery drain. Did a complete acme uninstall of android, repartitioned system to 600mb, and then used tptoolbox to install.
Now, the rom was very smooth through setup. However, after I started installing apps, about 30, it became very sluggish. pressing the home button I would have to wait about 10 seconds for it to actually go home. Apps would take 10 seconds to startup. Web/facebook scrolling was horribly choppy. Interesting though, if I rebooted, the tablet would run very smooth for the first few minutes. Only after that did it start to become slow.
So I decided to reflash the rom. Did a full wipe in CWM, and reinstalled. Again, tablet was running fine. I decided to only install a few apps this time, about 6, and everything seemed fine. But after a few minutes again, it got sluggish.
I'm wondering if maybe using tptoolbox messed something up? From everything I read about that rom, nobody has any problems with it being slow.
Also, I don't really want a heavily modified rom, which is why I haven't tried the Schizoid rom. I would like to stay at 10.1 for stability. I see the official CM nightlies here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290346
However, there are no download links to that rom, the link goes to the 10.2 download page. I didn't really want to get into a DM rom at this point. And it seems that bluetooth isn't working on that rom? Am I correct in saying that besides Schizoid, jcsullins 10.1 is the only 10.1 with bluetooth fully working?
Hum, got the same problem 1 year ago, my cm partition at the time was full, Using the TP Toolbox, try to give some space to the cm partition sacrificing some from the shared partition. There are more than 1 cm named partition, i don't remember exactly which one at the time was the faulty. Maybe it was the media partition.

You can check the size of your partitions by typing "df" without quotes into terminal emulator.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the suggestions. I checked the partitions, and they are all good. I ended up reflashing a third time, and I've been running it for two days, and it's been fine 90% of the time. A few slow downs, but nothing like before.
However I do have another problem, and I don't know if it's rom related or not. I have an HP slim bluetooth keyboard that paired successfully with the tablet. Works perfectly, except if I leave the tablet unattended for about 15 minutes or so, it doesn't work. I'm fairly sure the keyboard itself is going to sleep. However, when I wake it and the tablet up, the tablet freezes completely. Tonight it even rebooted itself twice. Once was on it's own after I tried to wake the keyboard up by pressing a few buttons. The other I turned the keyboard off and back on, and when it was connected the tablet rebooted.
Seem related to a rom problem with drivers support for bluetooth accessory. If it was working before with the same roms, try to reflash it, otherwise, try another roms or early/newly build.
I had the Nook HD+ running CyanogenMod for a few years.
I changed nothing, but lately it stopped working, complaining about Trebuchet, so I changed the launcher and it worked again, but giving occasional errors about an app not starting.
In the last few days it also started sporadically rebooting itself. Plunging it in did not seem to change anything. Lowering the max CPU speed from 1.5GHz to 1.1 did not help.
Now, it would not start at all – it would always get stuck at the circling CyanogenMod boot screen. It would still shut down using a long press.
I can start the rescue fine, with no unwanted reboots.
I do have a small amount of data there that I would like to be able to take out, if possible.
I don't care for any specific OS version/mod.
What do you think is the cause of this issue?
How can I fix this? Can I get the Data out?
Btw, in the years it was working, it did have an issue of sometimes restarting instead of shutting down.
I never knew if it was a fault with my device or the with latest CM.

Hi Kov8.
I was running CM 11.1 for ovation and experienced the same thing. My solution was to install a newer version.
To save your data, set up an SD card (be sure you have enough extra room for your data) with the TWRP 3.0.1-0 version here:
https://notredame.app.box.com/s/26a4bygh9vbaw7jjq08xr5evomvaw5ww/folder/3332706778
Load TWRP and look for the File Manager. I think it's under "Advanced." You can use that to copy or move your data to the SD card.
After that, consider upgrading to AOSP or LNOS. I can install AOSP without much difficulty, but LNOS doesn't go well. More on that in a later post.
If you need more detailed information, look at this post and download the pdf at the end of the first post:

Yes. I've been reading that all the recent ROMs do that.
The solution is to do a standard shutdown followed by a hard shutdown (by holding the power button for 8 seconds).
I suspect that going straight for the hard shutdown caused some file system errors that made installing new ROMs very difficult.
I'm OK now, though.
Thanks for the detailed reply! I will try.

That's funny. I just downloaded two copies from that link.
For version 3.2.1-0, it sounds like you're looking at the version from the team win website. I haven't tested that one thoroughly, but I have tried out their version 3.1.1-0. It works pretty well. It gave me some minor error messages here and there, but if I just repeated what resulted in the error, it generally went through on the second attempt without an error.
The link worked for me later. I managed to change to TWRP 3.0.1-0 only after removing the version identifier from the zip file. I later easily upgraded TWRP to the newest.
I also upgraded to the latest AOSP from the same source, without deleting, as I couldn't get the data from one app. I then installed ARM 7.1 pico gapps. Some apps kept crashing, but removing and reinstalling seems to have fixed that.
The only problem, is that now shut down never works, and restart always takes me to recovery. So I just hard shutdown there.

Mind telling how you managed to update twrp from 3.0 1 to the latest? I successfully installed 3.0.1 to my nook hd+, then flashed 3.2.1 img to recovery, now the device stuck at boot.
I simply downloaded to img file from their website (for ovation, my device), placed on the micro-sd, and installed it from TWRP itself. As simple as that.
Are you sure that you got the correct version for your device?
I also always verify the integrity of roms after writing them to a card. I've seen bad cards.
