Hi,
I am having major Force Close issues on multiple applications. I've posted my logcat here: http://pastebin.com/m51550315
I've tried doing a system wipe, installing the Android 1.6 Recovery image, installing the latest cyanogenmod MOD, wiping Dalvik cache and running fix_permissions but I get the same problems. When I follow these steps I am missing all of the Google apps and when I try to install them I get error messages saying that they can't be installed.
Is there anywhere else besides Dalvik cache that retains settings that will throw my phone off? It seems like even after doing the system wipe and Dalvik-cache clear there is something causing problems.
I have a Rogers G1 but followed Haykuro's root guide to change my radio image so that I don't need a custom kernel.
what exactly is the dalvik cache

A place where the system writes things about your apps. Every app you've ever had installed gets it's own little file in the dalvik-cache, wiping the dalvik-cache tends to fix issues with apps.
But wiping my Dalvik cache didn't solve the problem which is why I want to know if there is another cache that needs to be cleared or a better way to wipe previous data.
You could try to wipe the /data/data/

Iam in no way a dev or mildly knowledgeable about these things really, So DO NOT CARRY THIS OUT, IT IS MEANT TO POSSIBLY POINT OUT SOMETHING (Possibly) TO OTHERS WHO ARE MORE SAVVY............
Is signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721 Needed?
I'll Wait for someone else to say Yay or Nay, I suggest you do too

Is /data/data/ wiped by factory reset? What is stored in /data/data/?

Sweet! Knew someone would know better then me!
Back under my rock I go...
I tried deleting /data/data, /data/dalvik-cache, reinstalling the 1.6 recovery, the latest Cyanogen ROM and then running fix_permissions but I'm still getting errors. I even get an error trying to open settings: "Sorry! The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Is there anything else I should try clearing?
With everything you try, your ext partition is untouched. There is something left in there messing you up. Reformat your sd card. Then flash the HTC recovery, then Cyanogen, and you should be set.
BACKUP anything you want to keep on the sdcard first.
How do I know if my sd card has an ext partition? I haven't used apps2sd. When I get home from work I'm going to try a new sd card.
I tried a new sd card but that didn't have any effect. I cleared my dalvik cache and wiped /data/data and then updated my Cyanongenmod from 4.2.11.1 to 4.2.12.2 and the Force Close problems were solved.
I have some new problems now:
When I try to install apps I get the message "(application name) could not be installed on this phone"
I can't receive calls
My screen doesn't lock when I press the End Call button
My Home button doesn't return me to the Home screen
I'm guessing there is still something stored during updates. Any ideas?

I think you can probably fix this by flashing the HTC recovery image the CM 4.2.12.2 (probably do not need to wipe, but it would not hurt).

I've tried that and it didn't help. I've tried wiping, not wiping, using the defanged image, using the HTC recovery and I'm always missing the google apps.
OK, just a quick background:
I have a G1,
running Amon_ra's Recovery Image
CyanogenMod-4.2.13
OK, so I love Amon-Ra's recovery because it makes all the maintenance things very easy. Wiping the Dalvik Cache is a quick task.
Here's my question: When folks on here say they wipe every month of so, or wipe before each new Cyanogen update, do they mean wiping everything? SD card reformat etc? Or do they just wipe certain things?
I had never wiped before 4.2.13, and found each Cyanogen release more sluggish and crashy than the last. Then I wiped, installed 4.2.12, and it ran like a brand new phone. I loved it. But now a couple weeks has passed and my phone is slowing again. I tried wiping the Dalvik Cache but didn't see any real improvement.
So do I need a full wipe to get things back to speedy? It seems like a big pain in the ass to have to reinstall all my apps, reset notification tones, etc every time the phone gets slow. Is this the case, or is the general term "wiping" refering to a lesser operation?
Thanks for any help,
Tony
It is easy to backup the apps with the command 'pull' in adb, then use the command 'push' to push them back and the phone will install them.
I would just bite the bullet and redo your settings. I know there are programs like backup for root users that will redo the settings, but I have had problems with it and would rather reappy the settings myself.
One other option to try first: download "Cachemate" from the market. It's a paid app but so worth the buck.
The app clears all the temp caches - you would be amazed at how much memory is taken up by the caches as apps run. And the apps often don't release those caches even after reboots.

You can also do it manually by going "setings->apps->app management->select the app, then wipe cache" And sure it will take longer, but hey, for me it is one of the joys of using a phone, actually performing those tasks.
As for wiping, in ArmonRA, wipe data, wipe dalvick, wipe ext, then go to sd partion option, and repair ext, then wipe data one last time. That is the proper way to do a full wipe with ArmonRA.
As for wiping at home, I like Charmin Ultra Soft.

LOL! and for the thread, when they say rewipe, they don't mean to reformat your whole sdcard. That would be such a pain. You just gotta wipe the ext, (if you have partitions on your sd card), Cache, and data.
-EDIT-
Oh wait he already said that..
Hey guys, I have a memory issue with my Nexus One when it comes to available storage space. The rom available memory seems to get lower and lower everytime I flash a rom than the previous time. When I load roms like CM6 or Kang-o-Rang or MicroMod Supercircle 2.7 or any others I have 4-16 MB available and nothing has installed yet. I usually use A2SD EXT3 for these but now its extremely difficult to do anything when booting with so little space to begin with. A week ago, on most roms I have well around 150 MB free before installing anything. What may have caused this issue? I even tried booting CM6 with a different SD card not partitioned for A2SD and wiping everything and same result and now I really can't install anything. So is my phone faulty or is there something I can do? I am currently running recovery Amon RA 1.7.0.1 and issues seemed to have come up since using this recovery. I was using Clockwork Mod latest one before this a few days ago.
Any ideas?
Have you been wiping data + cache each time you flash?
Make sure you're calculating data space and not system space (which can be as low as it gets to be, it doesn't matter).

I have wiped, cleared cache, delvik many many times. I suspect that the wipe is not working properly. I have tried two different recoveries and nothing works. My available space now running on Nexus FRF91 stock with root only I have 53.64 MB free. I have installed no third party apps yet whatsoever. I have not even logged in to google yet because it will download all my apps again. I have rebooted as well. I think theres an issue with my device and memory. Should I call HTC or my warranty is void?
Sounds like a weird problem, I would've tried to wipe a time or two more. I just wiped my device after flashing nightlies for the last two months without wiping and I noticed I had 170MB free when I booted up with a few apps installed.
I agree with SBS_. It sounds like the wipe isn't doing the job properly. Try to do it in all the possible ways (wiping through the ROM - using "Factory Reset" option, wiping through recovery - clearing data, cache and Dalvik-cache, and wiping through ADB command line), see if it changes anything.

I've tried everything except ADB command line. I will have to read into doing that as I am unsure what to do. I have wiped from recovery and through the rom at least 15 times each! lol
When you load a new ROM, did you try to use Root Explorer to see what's on your DATA partition? (under directory /data).

Great idea. Actually I have but not sure what suspicious files I should be looking to delete. I do own root explorer so any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

I have this exact issue. I know how to wipe. I have gone as far as reloading HBoot and placing the stock EPF30 image. I have gone thru using clockwork and Amon. I know how to do factory resets. I know how to go to storage options with clockwork and format all partition options. I have spent months on this. Below is a readout, after blowing away everything.

Another user that I have been working with has the exact issues as the user here and me. He contacted HTC. They are replacing his N1. There is something weird going on with some of these units. Just like a few months back, no one knew anything about the bad boot blocks issue causing many developers to change their ROM installs to accommodate those users with this issue. This low space on /data issue is another one that sooner or later will start to show up more and more, IMHO. For instance, at best using either Evils Sense Roms or MicroMods Hybrid sense Roms, I have 23MB free on initial install. This is after basically wiping formatting, resettings factory Data etc etc. At best, lets say using Enoms latest AOSP, I have maybe 75Mb free Internal memory, after initial install and NO applications downloaded installed on my part.
I really wish that folks here and on other threads would start to take this issue a little more seriously than basically saying a user isn't properly wiping his setup prior to an install. I have my beloved N1 since third week of January this year. Never had a problem with rooting, installing any of the original CM, or Paul M stuff from the early days here and on their Kitchen setups. Something has basically changed to cause these issues on a number of Nexus one setups. I have root explorer too and no manner of deleteing, via changing partition permissions from RO to RW makes any difference after wiping, formatting whatever prior to a fresh clean install of any current ROM.
I have approximately the same issue. I can't install anything..
Even after a full wipe of /data and all caches, I installed latest nightly-219-passion and the only possible way to install apps is by manually typing the adb push commands in commandline. It DOES NOT WORK using Market, File Manager, Titaniumbackup, ....
When I nandroid restore I have all my apps back but still CANNOT install any new apps using Market, File Manager, Titaniumbackup, ....
I already tried the fix_permissions script in both Amon_RA and RomManager but without success. I have system:system permissions on /data.
Is there a way to wipe /system aswell prior to an install, or does that happen when you flash a .zip?

How did you install the nightly. Even with my issues of 109Mb used up on data before I install anything, I have the latest nightly running along with latest Gapps and approx 50 of my own apps, with 79Mb free internal. I used clockwork recovery, then under storage options, you can run format options, on boot, system, data, cache, and SD-EXT and then under advanced, wipe dalvik-cache. I also added the data factory reset option also. I then clean installed the nightly. Then after an initial setup to just have it running, flashed the gapps. I did initially have approx 75Mb free Internal before the Gapps install. Then I went down to 53MB after gapps. I verified I had the correct settings in settings:Cyanogen Mod for the file system. I then flashed the latest Dark Tremor script, ran the commands for a2sd check, a2sd reinstall, a2sd zipalign and a2sd cachesd to move the dalvik-cache to sd. I have an EXT3 setup on my SD card. After moving Dalvik cache I jumped from 28Mb free to 79Mb free where it's pretty much staying now. Not as much as others that don't have the issues on /Data but at least useable.
Hello eveyone!
I was updating my apps on the phone and during the process, my phone crashes and reboots. This happened while trying to install the CPU Tuner and ever since all my apps that are on the SD won't load or work. They don't even appear in the app drawer. I checked the in the Applications list from the Settings menu and it shows that they visible but they are not installed. Market does not recognize them as installed either. I'd hate to have to start from scratch re-flashing the rom and re-installing apps.
I've tried to:
*wipe cache
*wipe dalvik-cache
*wipe data/factory reset
*fix mismatched apk uid
(not in this order tho)
...without success. I hope someone can help! Currently running CM6 RC3
Reported earlier by someone else, and he had to reinstall them all. The apps don't mount correctly, but the reason for them not to mount isn't clear.
Thanks for you response. Unfortunately I tried reinstalling those apps but they won't install. Same thing happens when I update apps that were installed on the phone, not the sd card, they get stuck on the installation part. Sad to say I had over 200+ apps
I suppose re-flashing the rom is my only option for now...unless someone has a solution.
Once again thanks.
Captivate, build 1007, current rom cognition
I've gone back to stock with odin, things look normal, but when i root and flash back to a rom [cognition] i am unable to add few, if any apps. manage applications has any apps in this "computing" mode that never changes
when i try to wipe Dalvic cache, it appears to wipe, but "E: can't/ mount/ dev/ block/ mmcblk1p2 (file exists)" Does that mean i'm not really wiping dalvic ?
I've also wiped partition cache, formated system, data and cache, should i format sdcard?
I have several apps in TiBu, can i copy that folder back to the sd card if i format the sd card?
I've also also wiped data/factory reset ed from both CW recovery as well as in android.
This question has come up in other areas but with either no answers or to delete cache from market, which of i cannot do when it's 'computing'
Any thoughts or assistance will be appreciated
thanks
I'd imagine that you already found a solution to your issue, being that it was posted a while ago. I wanted to post what worked for me, with the same issue. Look in your SD card for a folder called .android_secure. There you will find all your downloaded apps, delete all the apps with a -2 in the extention. They are duplicate apps that have been stored. Once I deleted all thos it worked for me!
