Apps Disappearing / Crashing - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hey all,
TMobile HD2
ChuckyRom
Froyostone 3.2
Everything runs fine and then after a reboot (or sometimes not), apps start to not work and I have to force close them. Or app settings get lost, or I get "application is no longer installed on your phone".
A re-install of the apps temporary fixes it, but they crash again after a certain point.
Any ideas why this happens / fixes?
Thanks!
Jon

1. If you're running an overclocked/undervolted kernel, then don't!
2. Try not to reset the phone in Android. Make sure you shut it down.
3. Run "fix_permissions" for a shell. (Google if you don't know how).

I always shutdown my phone (unless it resets on its own which hapened a few times).
Not running an other kernel than what froyostone 3.2 came with.
"fix_permissions" looked like it would have worked, but no dice. I ran it and restarted the phone and more force errors appeared.
I guess its time to start fresh again. Can anyone recommend a different build than darkstone's? (mdeejay, etc...)

Android "Force Close"

I have rooted my girlfriends phone and have yet formatted the SD card for the "Apps2SD". So far the phone is been working good with the modaco 1.1 ROM but for some reason she was on her phone today and it made her force close the apps she was using and some others things and deleted all of her SMS messages. Im not sure what happen? I am new to the android world and just trying to fix the issue before it continues and gets worse
Really depends on what's going on. There are known issues with downloading too many apps and while you have Apps2sd I'm not sure if that's what's going on here as someone over at ppc geeks (thacounty I think) had mentioned that he has his rooted and is running Modaco and Apps2sd and had around 60 apps installed and after a soft reset everything force closes.
This is an issue HTC & Sprint are in the process of fixing (issue with apps & memory that is) and it may solve the issue she's having but for now I'd try to delete some apps if this continues after doing a soft reset and if all else fails do a hard reset (hope you have a nandroid backup made before the issue started).
Maybe someone else can chime in but that's the first thing that comes to my mind.

Alot of force closes

Does anyone else keep getting force close errors? The last 3 builds ive tried keep force closing to the point where I have to delete the data.img and start over. I have tried changing the rom and have tried formatting my sd card. Is anyone else having this problem? Any body have a possible solution?
Which applications do a forced close?
mms, phone, a bunch of other ones. it restarts itself and resets my wallpaper if that helps at all
go into any terminal application (ex: Terminal Emulator)
type in and press enter afterwards
su
fix_permissions
let it do its thing then restart. i make it a habit after a fresh install or after installing many applications to fix permissions.
hope this helps.

I had the same problem when I switched android builds and tried to restore all my apps. If you clear the problem application's data, uninstall and reinstall, then it should work fine. Statics way might work, Ive never tried it. Jus sayin how I fixed a few of my apps,

Force Close Issues

I have a really bad issue with this process.android.acore thing. Whenever I install darkstone's FyoroStone 3.17 build, it runs fine and I restore my apps and whatnot and go on my merry way. After 5 minutes the HTC Calendar process force closes and after any future restart, I get the process.android.acore force close issue, where I keep getting the little box that asks me to bloody end the thing.
I have reinstalled and reformatted my SD card several times. Anyone have any ideas?

How are you restoring you apps, from the market or titanium backup?
The reason I ask is because if you're using titanium backup, you might be messing with the settings, but that's if you're restoring system settings with you batch also. Only thing I can think of.
Also, have you tried using another build to see if you get that issue?
I am using Titanium Backup. I am only restoring the settings that have been backed up from earlier iterations of the same build before this error started.
Furthermore, I am currently downloading mdjeey's build to see if that fixes it.
I'm also flashing to a different WinMo Rom, but that's a different story.

Yeah, try Mdeejay's build and see if you get the same issue; and when you restore just restore the apps and not the system settings. I personally like his latest Froyo HD.
I prefer the Sense build. Makes me look totally awesome when I pinch and show all 5 windows and pick which to see in front of my friends.
That one is a sense build, based on the new DesireHD ROM. It's pretty nice
Only problem for me is the camera not working. That's a deal breaker for me, but it's still nice to have it on my SD
You can have more than 1 Android on your phone without it messing up and going all wonky?

yup, I haven't had an issue and I've had up to 4 different builds on my sdcard. As long as you rename the android folder to something else, and change the rel_path= in the startup.txt
I use EBL which comes included in the WinMo ROM I use (on my sig if you want to give it a try)
Edit: EBL is the program that autoboots the android builds. Or you can just manually do it by going to the folder and clicking the CLRCAD and HaRET.
Is there any way I could talk to you directly sir, say through Skype or AIM or something of the sort?

[Q] Installed CM7 and it's working...a few questions

I am up and running, so I think I did everything right!
However...
Angry Birds won't open. I've installed from Market, from backup, uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted...any other ideas?
Facebook app is glitchy.
My Nook app is force closing when I try to open a book...I'm thinking maybe I did something wrong...
Is there a way to remove the phone related apps and references?
I do miss the BN Library Shelves...I think I'll get over that though...or attempt a dual-boot.
Overall, it is so different than what I'm used to that it's a bit intimidating...but I'm sticking with it for a while due to all the over-the-top positive reviews here!
Nook app update...I had downloaded a book and it was in the notification list that it had finished...cleared it and the app is working now.

I know that Facebook version 1.5.3 had bugs that caused force closes on MANY devices. They released 1.5.4 last night to correct these issues, but I have not tested the new version myself. Others have said the app works great now. I downgraded to 1.5.2 which works fine, but I will try 1.5.4 later tonight.
Unfortunately I don't know about the other questions you had so hopefully someone else can help you there
Im no expert, but have you fixed permissions in rom manager? thats been known to stop force closes
I tried to fix permissions, but it says I don't have permission to do so...something's not quite right.
Yes, 1.5.3 caused problems for many. So far 1.5.4 works for me without any problems on my Droid X and Nook Color.

How are you showing phone references? You mean the apps?
If you're talking apps, get root explorer, nav. to system/app/
mount r/w, then add the suffix .bak too app phone related apps (doing phone.apk LAST). It doesn't do anything, but helps some people sleep at night.
mms.apk
telephoneprovider?.apk
phone.apk (will cause force closes...just hard shut down and reboot)
Haven't run into any apps that need these (dropbox used to), but good to keep around.
Try moving angry birds from sd card to "phone" if that is where it is located.

Hmmmm... Strange. Have you tried to boot into clockwork and fix permissions there?
Just want to make sure-- you did format your data & cache partition as ext4 right?
I'm not sure about the ext4...is that something different than just formatting through CWM.
Angry Birds is installed on 'phone' and not the SD card.
I did figure out how to remove phone apps, thanks!
We have multiple nooks so I tried Phiremod's on a different one and really liked it. I ended up reflashing this nook to Phiremod and am so far, really pleased...angry birds still won't load, but I guess we can live without it!
power button and home button problem
I just installed the latest cm7.0.2 build, and I found that my home button does not work...
also, the power button only has reboot and poweroff selections, the other selections in cm7.0.0 were lost...
Anyone saw this problem?
I tried to set the home button settings in ADWLauncher->General Behavior->Home button binding, but it does not work...
anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks

I don't have any of those problems. I just flashed 7.0.2 Stable build too.
Did you wipe the Dalvik Cache?
Just a thought.

If Rom Manager doesn't allow you fix permissions, open superuser and make sure it's allowed superuser access.

[Q] Manual Nooter Market Issue

Hi - I just downloaded the latest Manual Nooter and applied it to my NC. My market visability seems fine, but when I select an app to download it just hangs there and nothing happens. Anyone have a fix for this? I haven't seen an answer to this anywhere.
i am having the same issue too
well i rebooted with memory card removed and the apps installed fine. when i inserted memory card it stop installing apps. still looking for answers on how to fix
not really liking the rom too well. having a hard time restoring my apps with titanium and the whole process to install non market apps is a pain. hope the fix it with future releases.
Same issue here, with and without the SD CARD. Went from a stock 2.1 no rooting to the ManualNooter 4.5.6.
Trying to install Perfect Viewer and ASTRO File Manager.
I get the "download unsuccessful" which was supposedly fixed with ManualNooter 4.5.6.
*sigh* just going to wait until an AutoNooter comes out, I'm tired of check back all the time, seeing updates, and them not working.
i m also facing the same problem....

Hang in there. Market on mine (after MN 4.5.6) crashes when downloading/updating on occasion but like most early releases it's like a game of "Whack-A-Mole"...fix one thing and two others pop up. I'm positive GabrialDestruir and HamNCheese are working on the irritants and forging ahead. FWIW mine runs well (OC 1.1 also) on both except for the pissy Market (but like I said it works nevertheless).
