Constant force close applications....Need Help ASAP.

I am running stock 2.2 and I was removing the AT&T bloatware usting TiBa. Was only able to remove AT&T Navigator and AT&T Radio before the TiBa was no longer able to find the following apk files for some reason.
# AT&T Maps
# AT&T Music
# AT&T Mobile Hotspots
# Mobile Banking
# Mobile Video
Then all of a sudden the phone started giving me a message that:
LogsProvider has stopped unexpectedly and needs to resart and makes me force close but is in a constant loop along with TwLauncher. When I click Force close it closes the boxes but the screen stays black. I cannot see anything unless I hit the power button to lock the screen but it keeps popping up these stupid messages. What is wrong and how do I remedy it? Please someone help.

Now it is also saying Messaging, Daily Briefing, Google Services Framework and Calender is needing to force close.

you removed something you shouldnt have. and unless you can list everything you removed for us... you are going to have to flash to stock~! learning is fun!

The 2 bloatware apps listed are the only things removed. It may seem like stock is my only option here because the phone isn't letting me even access my applications menu to access TiBu to try and restore stuff.

Sounds like another deleted launcher. Use the search key on your phone to look up apps on your phone. Try searching for market and launching it from the search box, then look for launcherpro and install it. If not just use the search key to open TiBu and open it from there lol

It's basically locked in a force close loop. Bottom buttons won't respond. I take it I will end up using Odin3 to fix this whole mess? I just read up on it and seems like that is my option.

That'd be my last resort, but it seems that's where you're at.

I chock this up as a learning experience. LOL Is there a safer way to remove the bloatware without possible deleting needed files?

I just flashed a custom rom and made my cappy happy.

If you insist on keeping the stock ROM, I would recommend SGS Tools. It's capable of removing stock apps

Difference between 'Freezing' with Ti, and renaming to .bak with RE?

So now that we have root and we're all getting rid of the bloat, can someone help me understand the difference between using Titanium Backup to 'Freeze' an app, and using Root Explorer to semi-delete it by renaming it to .bak?
Which is better? They're both reversible, so does it make any difference?
Thanks!

They both have the same effect; the file is no longer able to be executed. If those are your 2 options, I personally would prefer freezing with Titanium Backup because it's much easier to do and much easier to reverse it.
I, on the other hand, did a factory reset, immediately backed up everything to my SD card (after uninstalling Nova and that stupid Golf game), and then used Titanium Backup to Uninstall all the bloatware I did not want. I ended up uninstalling 32 apps. Freezing would've had the same outcome, but I prefer those apps to be completely gone on my phone...I despise them that much.
If an OTA is ever released, I'll simply reinstall all of them from the Titanium Backup on my external-SD and voila, phone is as it was right after a hard reset.
Hope this helps.

Don't make the same mistake I did and freeze/uninstall "Yahoo Mail Authenticator" ... it causes the contacts (when you open a particular contact) to force close.

Maybe because he hasn't came across the issue yet. I had the same problem when I froze this app. Contacts would FC. Restored it and it returned to normal.
It's best to try freezing (or renaming) one or two programs at a time, test the phone, then continue. Doing them all at once makes for a big headache when trying to find the offending program.

I had same problem with contacts also. defrosted yahoo and worked done

Okai.
Maybe we should have a list of things not to delete, rather than what we CAN delete then.

[Q] Lag after freeze apps

Hi bros,
I have noticed an interesting thing happen here, always that i flash a new rom (with root access) and freeze some apps like google+, yahoo! weather, talkback and Google talk i see lags and freeze on S Advance. I only freeze safe apps, almost no system things. I freeze the same apps that everybody do to make an smartphone smoother and smarter.
I never saw force close or error message, just lag and freeze, but freeze apps was not to just let the phone lighter, stopping with default applications not use and thus avoiding freezes?? Why I'm noticed the opposite thing that i should?
Today I flash LQ4 again, and i'm thinking to uninstall this apps instead of freeze. What you think, guys?
Thanks!

Normally it shouldn't but....
Edit: Someone created a topic before, can't find it, he deleted the Playstore APK and Playstore stopped working, so if you're going to delete the stock apk's do it 1 by 1 and test if the app still works after you deleted the apk.

This is why I prefer freezing apps instead of deleting them, using titanium backup. (This does require root.)
Pulls the frozen apps from the menu, but you can unfreeze then on the go and use them again.
Ofcourse also prevents them from automatically starting, hate it when apps run that I do not use.
Kind regards, Stefan.

Samsung keyboard?

Anyone know how to permanently disable the keyboard? I turn it off and it auto turns back on. I have SwiftKey installed, but I keep getting the select keyboard notification.

You can't quite "turn it off" but you could always freeze it or uninstall it with Titanium Backup. Although I wouldn't personally recommend it, since Samsung apps have strange linking and uninstalling a seemingly unimportant app could cause a permanent TW crash.

Thanks. Wasn't quite ready to root.

the samsung keyboard being removed or frozen won't cause TW crashes. there is a way to remove it without rooting. you can boot (not flash) TWRP and then flash a zip which will remove it from it's location. i'll get to it this weekend. should jump start the modding.
alternatively, there's a mod which can just disable the IME switcher notification. i'll need to make this one as well.
