Force closing apps problem

I have JACMan Hero r1.62, and when i install another firmware such as the JF 1.51,CyanogenMod and even SuperHero v1 i get force close for all my applications when i use apptosd.
I wipe before i update, im tired of Hero...force close like every minutes...so i want to move back to normal JF v1.51, but everytime i use apptosd the apps installs and i see the icons and everything but they force close when i tap it. But when i use apptosd on JACMAN hero i get no force close.
Help please :]

Run fix_permissions and if that doesn't work try reformatting your SDcard

sounds like permission issues
search for that.

ahaha
10 chars

Okay running it, lets see if it works.

I still get tons of force close after running fix_permissions.sh

it doesn't sound like a permissions error it sounds like a corrupt file system, either do a file system check using cyanogen's recovery or reformat your ext2/3 partition. if the file system check won't run it's cause you need to reformat

the force closes are coming from the apps...i think the cause may be the hero apps that are still on my SD, anyone know of a way to get rid of them easy?
Also I don't think is a corrupt file system, since all my apps works for the JACMAN builds and not for others.
and could you provide a link to cyanogen's recovery, thanks.

Bump, for helpp.

Sorry couldn't resist

Okay i installed cyanogen's recovery and ran repair ext file system, and i got "error checking filesystem! Run e2fscl manually from console!" so i go to console and run e2fscl and now im stuck from there and have no idea what to do now.

If it failed running you have a corrupt file system, I don't care what you say you're wrong and need to reformat

Thanks.
is there a guide reformating my ext2 without destroying another gb on my sdcard?

Market thinks I still have these apps installed. how to Re DL ?

On Dwangs latest. Darn thing wont ever work with nandroid. Had to wipe my EXT3 to recover an old image. All my apps are gone. I had most backed up via Astro.
BUT
Theres a handful that I didnt have but now the market says "Installed".
Ive tried clearing all caches and data that pertain to market. Reboots... no luck.
Is there a way to fix ?
And for future reference ..best way to backup EXT3 without ADB ?

Try downloading the apps on an online market, then installing them off the SDCard.

this should work.
remove the folder /data/data/com.android.vending
then restart. it should refresh you're market.
if all else fails. re-flash.

if removing the vending folder doesnt work, just uninstall the app, and then try re-installing it? if it says it is installed, this should work.
ALSO, if you're apps2sd wasnt automatic and you had not rebooted since your last install of a few apps, they might still be in your internal phone memory. a wipe of NAND and EXT might help resolve any problems if all else fails

how many more of these threads are we going to have??!!!

IMHO we should clean up the forum and have one thread for "what rom do you like?"
Anyways.... I really like DarchLegend. Fast, responsive, and saves a bunny's life if you use it! It kills a bunny if you don't.

I do really like damagecontrol, but... it doesn't work. In logcat it always says "exit zygote because system server (100) has terminated" and bootloops.

Honestly, if you're getting that in logcat or ddms then you messed up the install somehow.

I don't see how I could have messed it up. Data wipe, dalvik wipe, and flash-reboot.

i was thinking the same thing. it all depends on you which is the best rom if you are here then it must mean youve rooted your phone so go and experiment but make sure you read the instructions given. Try them all is my opinion. Enjoy!

flash them all...then you decide which ones you'd like to use the most..

Android uses a system similar to Java. Where the code for apps is portable between different platforms. Like phones and computers with entirely different CPUs. It accomplishes that using a virtual machine(computer) called Dalvik. All of Android's apps you use come in a format called Dalvik-Bytecode the VM (virtual machine) can interpret and execute. In order to do this more efficiently, dalvik caches, or saves a copy of the bytecode somewhere for easy access and faster loading of the app for future use. Sometimes when switching roms, the cached version of an app is incompatible with the newly flashed version and causes errors forcing them to close. Wiping the cache can in certain cases correct force close issues.
Hope that helps.

yeah factory/data, I wipe all 3 before flashing a ROM, works everytime my problem is restoring the apps using a backup app (titanium, mybackup pro, etc.) but I think I have figured that out too with the UID mistmatch but don't have the sanity to do it again manually if it doesn't work
problem I was having after I restored the apps, and rebooted FC's out the ass and freezes, didn't matter what ROM, Darch, DC, Flipz, etc.

For 1.5, I've taken quite a liking to Pancake with the theme "Darkstar" installed.
For 2.1, I like DamageControl because it's quite fast and has 2.1 features.

Stock 2.1 build.prop fingerprint

I have a rooted Aria running a stripped down stock rom. Unfortunately, this has some unwanted side effects on the android market. Does anyone have the factory fingerprint lines from the boot.prop file?
Mine is:
ro.build.fingerprint=cingular_us/htc_liberty/liberty/liberty:2.1-update1/ERE27/1.25.502.12_192055:user/release-keys
ro.product.version=1.25.502.12

This is from the rock-stock HTC rom from htc.com:
ro.build.fingerprint=cingular_us/htc_liberty/liberty/liberty:2.1-update1/ERE27/179042:user/release-keys
ro.product.version=1.25.502.2

I have one (I assume you meant build.prop) from Liberated Aria r012 that works fine in the market:
ro.build.fingerprint=cingular_us/htc_liberty/liberty/liberty:2.1-update1/ERE27/179042:user/release-keys
ro.product.version=Liberated Aria R012 (US)
If you don't like that, there is another thread in this forum where Attn1 has posted the stock roms that you can unzip and get that file.

Yes thank you, that's what I needed. It looks like the liberated rom I am running has an update to fix this issue for me, r012. Which is good because I couldnt get any of my apps to mount /system in r/w mode. Unfortunately, new rom don't seem to fix this for me, still can't see square on the market... Must be something to do with the date wipe requirement. Need to find out how that works.

You need to wipe market data. You can use Titanium backup. You can mount /system r/w from recovery only.

bkmo, your the man (twice, once for the other post! ! Downloaded the free version of titanium, selected the market app for backup, deleted all data and it worked like a charm! Excellent advice, none of the other methods were working for me!

Hurray!
Using the following instructions and the old Aria fingerprint from here I was able download protected apps from the market again. I did need to reboot my Aria into recovery mode to move the build.prop file and clear the Market app cache before it worked though.

Someone should make an app for this (and that would remove it when its finally fixed for real), just like the Eris Market Fix app.

an app won't do it till we can write to system without having to be in recovery.

I have updated my iconia to Acer_A500_4.010.42_EMEA_GEN1
No problems here..

try uninstalling market and then reinstalling from here...
http://androidadvices.com/downloads/com.android.vendingAAD.apk
v 3.0.26

Also, are you running the new 3.0.27 that's been floating around the sites recently?
That version while running great on my phone, caused nothing but issues on my A500 - actually had to "uninstall updates" to get the market working right again (nothing would update, and some of the columns in the new design wouldn't lineup correctly) - I'd make sure you are still on the stock market for now.

uninstalled both markets and updates related to market using titanium,do i need to be unrooted.
still crashed....stupid thing

could use some help, cant get a500 to boot into recovery mode so i can wipe devlik and cache i get android triangle, i am rooted and and have acer recovery installed send help please

From the Acer recovery app you need to flash clockwork recovery. The app itself only allows you to manage which recovery you have loaded.

i have done a factory reset and still cant get market app to load, i assume my rom image is corrupt how the heck do i flash a new rom on this thing if i cant get into recovery mode

Yo can try this if still encountering FC/not dowloading apps for Playstore or market, it might also be the cause of new partition or something like that, you can try this another option freely other than fixing permission of vending.apk on /system/app/..
This might help you guys .
1. check if cache folder has "download" folder inside it, if it no download folder then create one inside /cache, e.g. mkdir /cache/download.
2. then chmod the /cache folder to 777, also make sure the com.android.vending folder is present inside /data/data/ folder.
3. You can achieve it through shell terminal.
Hope this helps you guys fix the FC(Force close or not downloading apps on playstore or market).
Hit thanks if it helps.
Thanks
