Anybody else have a lot of force closes on FRG83D?

Ever since I updated to FRG83D I have been having a ton of force closes with various apps like: Facebook, the market, browser. As well everything seems a lot slower like bookmarks take a bit to load and Facebook just force closes when I open a picture or freezes.
I also am not being able to unlock my phone due to the touch screen not responding or the display won't turn on at all which requires a battery pull. This occurs sometimes.
Any idea what's causing this? I'm on a fully stock ATT nexus one.

I have exactly the same issues. It's actually the first time I've experienced a "frozen" touchscreen on my N1, and it's happening regularly now.
Just hoping Gingerbread fixes it

Same here with email.apk
Constant freezes or messages that the app stopped responding and whether I want to force close.

Had a few apps that did that so I uninstalled then reinstalled. Seemed to fix it.

I don't have any problem!! I use this rooted complete stock rom FRG83D.
You can try it. http://www.mediafire.com/?bd0ira8h6rdb9jm

I have tried un installing the apps that freeze but even after that they still freeze.
I honestly dont want to root my phone yet. I want to keep it stock until my warranty is over.

Just try resetting to factory default and you should be good to go! Froyo will backup all your apps so once you are back the apps will reinstall on their own. But make sure to backup app data to your SD card if the app has that kind of option (for example launcherpro, adw launcher and card star) has in app backup option. I had some sluggishness with FRG83d but now it seems smooth!

I was hoping to avoid a full reset. I also am the 2nd owner of this phone and I read that it only backs up the first Google account. But the second one won't back up apps.

That's really strange and very weird ... are you sure about that? But if you reset, it shouldn't take more than an hour and a half to fully recover. Good luck.

[TIPS] Disable Nexus 7 OTA/Upgrade Nag

I have been trying to research a way to stop my Nexus 7 wifi grouper from constantly nagging me to upgrade to JellyBean 4.3. I find 4.3 rather underwhelming and the problems it has caused with flash crashing Dolphin or Xscope browsers almost constantly has left me no choice but to roll back to 4.2.2.
Now that I am content to stay with 4.2.2 I wanted to stop the constant upgrade notification and the process to do so isnt clearly laid out anywhere across many fragmented threads about it.
Here is how I disabled the upgrade prompt on the Nexus 7 grouper wifi 4.2.2 - You of course need to be rooted.
Get Autorun Manager from the market - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autorun&hl=en or http://goo.gl/xdLmO
Launch Autorun Manager, select Advanced mode.
Click the wrench, check off Show system entries and Enable system app disable.
Click the refresh icon to reload the process list.
Search for "systemupdate" and open the Google Services Framework entry.
Uncheck com.google.android.gsf.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver
Reboot your tablet and be nag free.
I am not certain at this point if this disables market app update notifications but I would rather manually check for app updates than be constantly nagged to upgrade android.
Edit - Market update notifications for apps is functioning normally.
Enjoy.

Worked like a champ....thx

With the imminent release of 4.4 for the Nexus I wanted to remind people of this procedure for the purpose of disabling the upgrade prompt or restoring it if you followed the above procedure in the past.

i read this might cause partial wakelocks.. is this true? I absolutely hate 4.4.. the ugly white color, single screen settings, unstable apps, etc etc
It's absolutely ridiculous how google is shoving its stupid updates down our throats.
+ i deleted the downloaded zip update.. but when i go to about tablet > system updates > it still reads that download is ready.. what does that mean? anyway to reset and clean that crap?

No problem with wake locks.
I actually didn't need to freeze the update file.. The reason I was receiving an OTA notification after sideloading 4.4 was that the update that was trying to push was the smaller update (KRT16S) that followed KitKat (KRT16O).. which I was unaware of at the time. I wish they would put the build # on the update screen.. instead it just read 'you have an update to KitKat'. I assumed it was the same ota update that I already sideloaded.. not something that was new.
Also not sure if there's a way to get rid of that info for a new update in the settings. You can remove the notification reminder.. but under system updates, it will always read that an update is waiting. Best advice.. Don't look at that screen lol.

Best way to fix the OTA nag.
Use the OTA...

I was just receiving the OTA nag as well . Went into TB and froze the Google Services Framework and the icon is gone.

Yeah... that will get the job done... but it will 'break' a lot of other stuff as well. Google Services Framework does much more than just handle OTA's... so, not a good idea.

Also go to settings > apps > Google services framework > un-tick show notifications. This stopped my stock unrooted nexus to nag me to update to 4.4

1. What other notifications might that also disable?
2. What is the file name of the 4.4 ota update and where can I find it so I can rename or delete it?
Thanks

After a reboot I got notification to update apps so It doesn't break playstore updates. Gmail, I can hear the sound when an email arrives but no notification. It will do for me, tho not sure if it's for everyone.

What about the one called
com.google.android.gsf.update.SystemUpdateService$SecretCodeReceiver ?
Does that need to be disabled too, or does it do something unrelated?

Why not just make a copy of system/build.prop, and change the version to one that was never released, like 4.1.3?

Thanks OP.....this worked for me. I'm sticking to 4.2.2 stock and rooted now. And no more nag.

Horrible Multitasking?

I posted this in the Sprint HTC One forums and got little in reply, let me know whose you guys think
I don't know if this is an issue with 4.3 specifically because I don't recall if this was happening since I installed the update..but my multitasking with this phone has been horrible lately. I mean no matter what app I switch to it begins to reload, even if it's the last one I used or a light application (ex Google Now to Messaging). I already found it frustrating how upon switching apps with this phone it would show you a frozen image for a brief moment before before allowing you to interact with the actual application, but now apps are actually having to reload. I'm using apex pro and it's also redrawing nearly every time I go back to the homescreen, be it from internet, floorboard, messaging etc. Not sure why it's happening but it started like a week ago and my phone has been feeling pretty ****ty because of it. My GS4 w/touchwiz has less multitasking issues than this phone right now, any ideas on what's going on? Stock unrooted 4.3

Isn't there a specific setting that locks the launcher in memory to prevent the redraws? Are you running a custom rom or you're using apex on a stock rom?

There is that setting, but when it's enabled a notification sits in the dropdown that says to remove apex from the permanent memory, you can't swipe it away either. Really stupid, never seen a phone with that notification before, my s2 with 1gb of ram multitasked amazing. Regardless it's all aspects of multitasking not just launcher redraw, if I switch from messages to setting and then back to massages, it'll have to reload regardless of how light of an app it is.
Stock unrooted 4.3. Rebooting gives me a few days without hindrance but eventually the problem resurfaces, I barely have any apps installed and none of them are out of the ordinary.

I noticed you had changed kernels. I did that and got all of the problems you listed. Trust me, its not L its whatever kernel you're using or even user error. Even greenify works now, but most root apps require a permissive kernel...sounds like you don't have one possibly, if you are rooted there's an SELinux policy changer app that will at the click of a button, modify the kernel between enforced and permissive. I use code blue, FK didn't work for me. Also not sure this thread will be open much longer. All the best.
Try posting this in general in the Lollipop thread.

Yea I don't have those problems either. I have had the keyboard predictions not come up some times though. I have also had the play music app bug which is really annoying me because I just bought some Bluetooth headphones and its ruining the hands free experience.

In recents/overview, after clearing all apps sometimes apps pop up if you tap the recents button again like Phone, Android System etc. Anyone else having this issue?

I'm having almost all those same problems as OP...I have it with FK. KitKat was way better and buttery smooth, no issues really. The one thing I really like about 5.0 is the lockscreen notifications..long overdue feature. Missing feature though: control time of music from lock screen.

No offence mate, but calling this thread "all you need to know" is wrong.
I disagree with everything you said, having used heavily since about an hour after the image was posted by Google.
To suggest that your opinion is all people need to know is just plain wrong.
90% of root apps? Nonsense. Every root app I need works.
Crashes in chrome? None here. Same with all the gapps.
Most apps don't work proper? Really?
Launcher lags? Nope. And that word is thrown about all the time with no explanation or quantification.
You should at the least change the title of the thread.

Ice box

I've recently been using an app called ice box. I removed greenify and wakelocks. Been using this app solo with great success. Letting my Nexus 6 homies know about it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.catchingnow.icebox
Give it a try, let me know what you think. Hit thanks

personally its far too simple, there are more advanced tools out there if you have root.

Simple is not a bad thing if it does everything a more complex app does.

I use this functionality in Titanium Backup. It can deal with system apps in several ways

I agree 100%
I've tried Servicely, Amplify, Greenify, and Boot Manager (the last three with Xposed integration) and have removed all of them.
Ice Box beats them all hands down in ease of setup, ease of use and, most importantly, it actually keeps unruly apps from restarting themselves.
Somehow they would always spring back up when using Greenify and the others and I would always see them in the "Battery" screen as have used some % of my battery even though they weren't used.
:good::good::good: for Ice Box!
Give it a try, the free version can deal with 15 apps and is definitely worth a look.

I used icebox for a while too and thought it was the solution to all my life's problems but had to find a different solution after I realized that app keeps a constant connection to some mysterious address in China and sends data each time anything happens on your phone

Is that really happens? What's your source? I can't find anything on Google regarding this...

AFWall logs, NetworkConnections app, traceroute, google play store developer info. Trust me. I wouldn't say anything if it wasn't true. I really...really liked the app. It may be nothing but app analytics but I could never get the dev to reply and the address provided on google play appeared to be bogus when I looked for it in Maps...which I did report to google along with my firewall logs. Maybe its fixed. I get that developers make better results when they get feedback but I don't like unnecessary connections especially ones without an off switch. The amount of data sent appeared to be miniscule but very constant even when the app wasn't in use. I end up making my own using Everywhere Launcher + Secure Settings + Macrodroid. Secure Settings does the same thing but appears to be abandoned and the licencing used for it doesn't seem to be affected by being blocked from the internet.

How do I see which apps are always running? Im afraid that I'll freeze a app and it'll break my phone lol..
