I've been running Open Home on my stock MyTouch, and after I got the donut update today it's been running a force close loop for the app, and I can't seem to access the menu or anything else to turn off the Open Home. Only thing I can really do is turn my phone off. I was wondering what can I do to fix this if anyone knows? Thanks.
Nevermind got it!

Okay, here's the sad story so far:
I have a (previously) unmodded G1, with normal T-Mobile software. Yesterday morning around 5AM I get the little notice that I can upgrade to Cupcake. Unfortunately, it's 5 in the morning, I couldn't sleep, and I wasn't thinking all that straight... so I decided to root my phone and upgrade it to 1.5 instead.
So I downgraded to RC29, got myself root access, and installed the latest Jesus Freke build. Now the fun starts. As soon as the phone boots into the JF build I get constant android.process.acore force close errors. And I do mean constant, I force close, and it pops up again, force close, pop up again ad infinatum. I reflashed a few more times, varying the order of installing the radio update and misc. stuff like that, but still no luck.
So I decide to go back to the T-Mobile build without root access. I mean, I lived without it before, and not having root is better than not having a functioning phone, right? So I download the official cupcake update from google's dev site and install that. Woohoo, no more force closing, it looks like everything works!
Orrrrr not. I can't get into Settings now. I've tried to open Settings from the home menu, from a shortcut on the desktop, and through the menu button. Every time I try to do so, it will open up a black screen (like it's starting to load the settings menu), stay there for anywhere between 1-4 seconds, then go back to the main desktop screen. Everything else on the phone works, Market, Camcorder, soft keyboard, everything. Most apps I've downloaded also seem to work. However, when I installed the Toggle Settings app and tried to toggle the GPS, it popped into the settings menu with a black screen with the Security and Location text at the top, and then promptly went back to the app without changing the GPS.
I've tried everything I can think of at this point and the almighty Google doesn't seem to have any answers, anyone else able to give me some help? It would be much appreciated.
Update and bump, because I really need some help here:
I flashed the phone back to RC30, and left it overnight. In the morning there was an OTA update to cupcake available, so I installed that. Unfortunately, even with the OTA update the settings menu still won't stay up. Any advice?

Silly question, but did you do an alt-W to wipe the phone?
yep, wiped it many times during my trials and travails.
before or after the issue with the settings menu?
I've actually tried it both ways, wiped or not wiped, the settings issue remains the same.
I had widget locker installed, it was working great since yesterday. Today this problem started.
Once the screen goes off/sleep, I can not turn it back on. Using either the home or power button. I removed widget locker, and set the home action back to ADW Launcher.
The phone is seemingly still working, because I was on a 10 min phone call, but after the screen would not come back on, so I couldn't end the call or use it at all. I have to pull the battery, and turn the phone on to use it, of course that's only useful until the screen goes off again lol.
Any ideas? I am going to wipe it/reapply the rom tonight to see if that fixes it, but not sure how it could be software now since the only new app lately was widget locker and I've uninstalled it. I also got rid of NoLed just in case it was that, although it wasn't enabled.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
I also noticed something while using Widgetlocker, sometimes when i unlock my screen, the "BACK" softkey when pressed does not vibrate the phone! the menu one does... I need to lock the screen and unlock again and voila... its working
Seems like Widgetlocker is bringing lots of problems
check what software you have installed recently
most likely one of those apps is keeping the screen off

Well the ones I installed recently was Widget Locker. Before that I didn't have the problem, and I've removed that app. I haven't installed anything else in the past day.
I was just reading about setcpu potentially having this problem. Which would be weird since I've had that installed for a week and just now am having issues. I'm playing with it's settings now.
you can always to a quick format and restore the settings to ROM default
*2767*3855#
and reinstall each app, to see which one caused the problem
Hey,
So I just completed a factory wipe and set up my phone again. Strangely though, the middle button on the phone that is defaulted to close all windows/applications and go "home" doesn't seem to do anything anymore. I can tell it still works as when the screen is off, pressing the button wakes up the phone, but after that it does nothing.
Anyone know how to fix this? Not sure where it would be in the settings.
Thanks
I had this when I installed a new launcher...the ONLY thing that fixed it for me was to reinstall the rom. I tried wiping everything I could without getting rid of my data...but in the end that is all that I could do. But it did fix the issue. Sorry if you were hoping for something easier...maybe someone else may be able to help you.
I am still using the stock launcher :S
Try with another launcher to see if it works. If it does, go back to the standard launcher to see if it now works.
So, I have just gotten my Kindle Fire. I decided to install Go Launcher EX on it and it seems to have messed it up. My Kindle is not rooted (and I don't want it to be rooted).
When I installed Go Launcher, it froze my device so I restarted it. When I turned it on, a selection comes up for which launcher i want to pick. Then it says unexpected error in the notifications and freezes...
How do I fix this? Also do you think customer support will accept this return to get a new one?
EDIT: It seems only the interface is frozen, because when I hold home button the shut down menu comes up.

It's bone stock. I haven't even bothered to root it yet. Recently in the last week or two, sometimes after I updated to the most recent update the phone has become sluggish. The keyboard will sometimes take a long time to pop up and then when it does it will be laggy to type. It reminds me of how the stock messaging app was which is why I installed Textra.
Hitting the home or power button doesn't always take it up, I've tried holding the home button and still doesn't seem to work, still just a black screen. Holding the power button down it will eventually bring up the menu with "power off, reboot" etc on it and then I can use the home button but still sluggish.
I tried booting into Safe Mode and that seems to make it work normally.
I can't remember installing anything new recently so I'm wondering what could have caused the issues I'm experiencing? I know the boards are mostly geared towards people that root their phone and install custom roms but this is driving me crazy.
I uninstalled Yahoo Weather. It had been acting weird lately anyway and it seems to have fixed things... no idea why. Very strange.
wow--weird, but glad you got it--:good:
if you reinstall yahoo weather try clearing data and cache for app in settings/apps and see if that helps
