Hi all,
Last night, out of the blue, every time I tried to download an app from the Marketplace I got the error "process com.android.vending has stopped unexpectedly" and a force close. I have no idea what would have caused this as everything was working fine up until last night, I can't think of any strange updates or anything.
Anyway, after some Googling I cleared the market cache and data as recommended but now I can't even open the Market app at all - well it opens, but force closes straight off the bat (I see the Android TOS in the background). I now get the process com.android.vending has stopped unexpectedly error on boot and whenever launching the market.
I've attempted to install a newer market.apk (current one is 1.82) but Android won't allow me.
The only other recommendations people have given on here to those experiencing this issue on dedicated Droid handsets is to either do a full format/install or to flash something via recovery (doesn't look like I can do this on my SD build)
A couple of months ago I was getting force closes on the calender app and someone sent me a droid.zip file which had a fsck.exe inside it which allowed me to repair my data.img which in turn fixed the problem. I've formatted my PC since than and lost the files and can't find them via Google, at least not one that'll run under Windows command prompt with "fsck.exe data.img" after placing the data.img in the same directory. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Or better still provide an alternative method for fixing this issue?
Using Darkstone's SuperRAM 1.5 Froyo build.
Many thanks!!
maybe you should try an other android rom ?
The best and quickest way to fix this is to use market.app from same build what u got.
So its mean u need to extract this particular app from the ROM and copy it to the /system/app
Or if u dont know how to extract it just ask in your ROM thread so someone whos know how to extract it and than can post it for download.

Not really an option - The build I use is the most stable and one of the most widely used here on XDA (outside the Nand forum) and has been nigh-on perfect up until now (in daily use since before Christmas). I can't replicate how and why this happened so there's just as much chance of it happening on another ROM. Google suggests it's a common problem with the fix (for non rooted/savvy) people to factory reset their devices.
There's got to be a better way and I'm sure the crew here will find it!

Thanks - I'll look into doing it now. I've had no luck installing various Market apks though (with the default market disabled / cleared, etc.) so I'm unsure of the results!

This should help cos if u do it this way u actually not installing/reinstalling the app. u actually repleace the sys market.app for the original one from the ROM. So there is no way it will not work again if it was working before after u flashed the ROM.
I'm pretty sure it will do the trick, but also I may be wrong .
I had some issue on my ROM with cam.app and this proced. helped me.
Hey,
you can try this (very simple):
1. Open terminal emulator
2. type "su" (without quotes) and hit enter
3. type "fix_permissions" (without quotes) and hit enter
4. wait until process is done and exit terminal
5. maybe reboot, but should be fine without reboot
This is a common way to fix force closes, so maybe this helps in oyur case too.
Greetz Dom
FIXED! [Edit: not]
Here's what I did.
Downloaded THIS
Extract it to C:\Droid
Boot into Win Mobile and move your data.img in \Android\ into the \Droid\ folder on your PC.
Start > Run > CMD
type "cd c:\droid" (without quotes) to get into the directory you've created.
Type "e2fsck -f data.img" (without quotes) and say 'y' (yes) to all the errors you encounter. There will be dozens. When done you'll be notified the modified data.img has been saved.
Copy the newly modified data.img from \Droid\ to \Android\ on your device.
Boot into Android - things might be a bit slower/laggy at first.
All should be well!
Edit: This fix seems to have really slowed my phone down. It takes at least 2x as long to run stable on boot (i.e. stop lagging, load all background apps etc). I've imported my previous data.img over and will be trying the fix by Dom (above).
Edit2: And I'm now getting com.android.media force closes with the modded data.img! Music app won't work. Jesus!

Hey Dom, terminal tells me "fix_permissions: not found" when I run fix_permissions. Am I missing something? (I've su'd before hand) Guess Darkstone hasn't included this script in his rom?
Same here ...?

How about getting a fresh copy of the ROM, and just keeping your data.img. It may not work, but it's surely worth a go.

Hmm, it seems that this script isn't inluded in your roms. But for you SMS92 it seems that it is another problem anyway.
If you wanna try sth. else see this:
http://all-google-android.com/google-android-forums/t-mobile-g1-modders/fix-permissions/
This is an "improved" fix permission tutorial which goes further than the command I posted above...quote from the link above: "fix_permissions is only intended for correcting ownership issues. It does not modify permissions, as is being requested."
In this post is a downloadlink for the advanced script so it doesnt matter if its already included in the rom...

It's a no-go I'm afraid.
So far the only thing that's worked is running the repairs on my 2gb data.img using e2fsck on my PC, but this in turn created a load more problems (com.process.media started force closing and the rom seemed to be much slower)
Will try some more suggestions tonight.
if your running gingerbread make sure the app is installed on the phone not the sd
I'm also suffering from this issue it started for me when an automatic update downloaded (which I didn't install) I will see if any of the above fixes work for me & if not I will start with a fresh copy of the ROM. Have to admit I have barely used winmo since I started using this build!

Can you please explain more? Whats going on with what. That way we can help you
If I want to write a text message (usually when its important ) I click messaging and it doesn't open and crashes, forcing me to quit. The same thing happens when I I exit an app or come out of suspend. Also occupationally when I receive a call my phone doesn't come out of suspend and stays in suspend but the tracker ball remains flashing

fix_permissions is already embedded in the cyanogen 4.1.11.1 rom.
just open a terminal window and run the file (assuming you have root).
what do i type in terminal? Im sh1t at it
Me personally would just reflash the Rom>Theme since it sounds like something got corupted some how
I did a fresh install and the first thing I got on top on the android begin screen was "the application datatraker (process com.fvd.datatracker) has stopped unexpectedly please try again"
And you cleared your ext3 first?
I didn't know it was needed. Formatted and reinstalled now
Decided to help out and with the ok from ihtfp69 i wrote up a FAQ page
for everyone who uses Sky Raider Rom 3.3 Final
feel free to add.
zip is 180,304 kb
Sense 3.3 Requires a FULL WIPE
to avoid reboots make sure you have S-Off, Upgrade the radio to the OTA version
Wipe everything:
Factory Reset
Data Cache
Dalvik Cache
then apply SR 3.3
The initial boot animation is only there for the first boot and reverts to the original thereafter.
The fix for Rom Manager for fix permissions requires you to open Rom Manager once and then it will work after a reboot
Q: How to flash the ROM?
A:good info here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709220
Q: Since 3.3 requires a full wipe, due to all the changes, I was wondering if the MM mappings for the rosie launcher are still compatible with this new release.
A: All of the mappings are new so make sure you clear out the old ones and download the new ones.
Q:how to Change your lock screens from adb or terminal shellLock
A: there are 13 different lock screens including the HTC one
You must be on SP1 or higher to use them
Change your lock screens from adb or terminal shell
Type 'tabunlock' or 'rotaryunlock' to get the menu seen below
Please choose from the menu - S-OFF REQUIRED
1) normal
2) normal+menu unlock
3) normal+trackball unlock
4) music buttons
5) music buttons+menu unlock
6) music buttons+trackball unlock
7) restore HTC lock screen
8) get me out of here!
reboot
Q: how do you get a logcat?
A: Run CMD prompt and in while in the root folder sdk/tools/ run the command "adb logcat" copy paste all you see onto pastebin.com and post the link. or download logcat from market
"HTC Mail Mod for EAS Admin Removal" You just go to settings -> security -> remove admin policy

Hello,
I would like to know what is "HTC Mail Mod for EAS Admin Removal". Is this some kind of feature?
I would like to disable the PIN Lock on my phone that is enforced by my companies security policy. I used to use LockPicker on Android 2.1 but that no longer works. Is there another solution for Android 2.2?
Thanks.
Nevermind I found it. You should add this to the FAQ. You just go to settings -> security -> remove admin policy (forgot the actual name since after I removed it, the option is no longer there)
Im having a couple of problems
1) I cant get my Yahoo mail account to set up, I have installed the Mail Mod from ROM manager.
2) I am trying to install an application from the market and i am getting the error saying I dont have enough space to install. I really dont have many apps so i dont think thats accurate. I have cleared the market's cache, data, and restarted the application, problem still persists.
Thanks for the help

Check to see how many saved backups you have. Each backup can be upwards of 300mb's. If you have more than three that could be the problem. Happened to me once before. I got rid of a couple unnecessary backup files and freed up over half a gig of space. Apps from the market installed with no problems again afterward.

Q: How to enable Tab Lock Screen with Sound Controls?

How to fix this?
2. OC not remember last setings after reboot. it have to be set again.
any way great rom and nice work.
1. Press option button, tap in 'Toggle soft keyboard'.
2. In set cpu you have to check 'Set on Boot'. Becareful, if you set the freq too high you might get boot loop.

Hey all,
running CM7 (in particular this), and have always experienced these random reboots since I rooted/ROM'd etc.
I have worked out it is to do with 3G/4G data connection and/or swapping back to 2G to save battery or something along those lines. I have tried different radios, but not other ROMs (dont particularly want to change ROM).
My question is, is there a log file or some sort of diagnostic i can run to see exactly the cause so i can better find a fix/report the bug?
Cheers.
Ye, just write su than logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt in terminal emulator this will save the logcat to the logcat.txt file, you can than copy that to your pc and see what happened before the reboot.
I'm going to try and provide a log too. Problem is, I usually only notice it after a while, when I take my phone and see that it has rebooted and waiting for PIN.

Thanks man, will do this very soon and post my log (if thats ok? and if there isnt anything personal in there)
EDIT: Holy c***. its 14,500 lines of code... what should I be looking for?
I have found there are several errors relating to GTalk (which i never/cant use). I didnt realise I hadnt Frozen this with Titanium Backup, so I have done that now.
I was also getting errors relating to sqlite and the Market, but not sure this is causing any reboots as yet, the error was as follows:
Code:
I/Database(12351): sqlite returned: error code = 0, msg = Recovered 8 frames from WAL file /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/databases/downloads.db-wal
I will see if I get any more reboots and let everyone know, but I suggest freezing GTalk as a start if you are getting reboots.
FWIW the culprit in my case was SKYPE

Really! Interesting. Did you uninstall or freeze?
Also, I can tell you that freezing GTalk definitely has reduced the number of reboots, but not eliminated it. I have just tried uninstalling Skype (I never use it anyway) as wintermute000 suggested, and will follow up again in a few days.
Uninstalling Skype has greatly helped. Thanks wintermute000!
No worries. I just run skype when I need and exit fully when done, no need to freeze or uninstall

First, Thanks to all people around this work, specially Laidaxin for good work.
Well, sadly... I also still stuck on install the FlipSide recovery option of the first post... I did all te proccess by eleven times, testing different details that may be not clear for me (as run as administrator, with abd CMD screen closed and opened, if the version of adb never shows me the logs that appears in cmd screenshot... several times I got on the FlipSide the screens talking about su and later 2ndinit script got superuser permissions... but the screens of cmd generated by the script are so fast that was not able to read or check if the 2ndinit script was succesfull or if there something else that may be failing/missed... so by now still no luck)
as a resume, in hope that may help to test from new friends around here:
1) I reflashed my FlipSide to stock with sbf from the other thread tutorial (I use sbfflash in linux and everything works fine, using Power+UParrow in keyboard to enter in bootloader mode my Flipside)... and then I insert my SIM and SD card wiped with only the CM7-Laidaxin.zip file on it, ...complete setup as minimal possible in order to be able to set USB mode to memory access, and turn on usb development in applications menu.
2) Then I ROOT with SuperOneClick version 2.1.1!!! and connect my phone in normal use screen home (NOT bootloader mode!) with UBS debugging turn on and with USB mode set to memory card access (NOT Moto Portal No Media access...), the other methos with Z4root and newer versions of SuperOneClick FAILS for me...
3) I then try to install recovery with Laidaxin installer and procedure, but as I said after some attemps I still not success in get the recovery working, also try diferent ways... removing battery then reboot with VolumeDown pressed, Turn off normal and repeat, turning ON AND AFTER see the Red Moto press the VolDown key short time, later maintained it long, then pressing it several times, etc...
So, I made this resume in order to share info from my side and hope to save some time to other friends that may want to test the CM7 from Laidaxin, than in fact seems like a GREAT work for our Flips... so please if any help to get this fully working and tested will be very gratefull...
Best regards!
Ok... since I still can't get the automated installer working... I would really appreciate if someone could direct me to the forum/website that that installer came from... I would love to try to push it myself... but I'd have to do some reading...

Hi!
Ok, I am not totally sure, but I suspect that this is the original link of this recovery, however, just now I need to go to my work, so, I do not have chance right now to check it, but hope may be usefull.

You should be able to install it like this:
- Extract everything in the "data" folder into a folder called "bootmenu" on your sdcard
- Then use either "adb shell" from a command prompt, or Terminal Emulator on the phone should work:
Code:
su
cp -R /sdcard/bootmenu /data/bootmenu
cd /data/bootmenu
chmod 0755 *
./install.sh
And it should say "Install complate...."
You can also remove the folder(s) if you want:
Code:
rm -R /data/bootmenu
rm -R /sdcard/bootmenu
Then to get into it, reboot the phone and once the notification light turns on, hit volume down
You my friend.... are the ****ing man...

One thing doesn't work though... it can't unmount system... so I was unable to do a nandroid restore... rather depressing....

I ran into the same problem but mine also stopped me from installing any other rom to test, run, or otherwise. I'm at a standstill in terms of helping test.

laidaxin's rom replaces this recovery with one that doesn't quite work perfectly yet...
You should be able to boot back into CM7 and re-run the above commands and it'll work again
That doesn't change anything for me... it still won't unmount system...
I think if I read the output from the script install...
Our recovery installs to system... since Motorola doesn't love us

Maybe try "rm -R /system/bootmenu" then install it...

It does the same for me, which is what's keeping me from trying CM7, as I have no way to restore my current nandroid. The defy installs their recovery to /system as well and I gather that it works as intended, I wonder if it's that we need our own build of CWM. Do we know if whoever built CWM for the defy has their source tweaks available?
Unless you have something irreplacable in your /system or /data... I would just have RSD lite and an sbf ready... and take the plunge...
Because....
When you use CM7... apps2sd moves not only the apk... but also the lib files to the sd card...
As long as you switch the 'network operator' to GSM only (in wireless and networks)... laidaxin's kang runs beautifully... much much faster than stock

Link2SD has no problem moving the lib files in our stock rom... I'm no stranger to reflashing with RSD Lite, it's just tedious to get everything set back up JUST right, and this is exactly the kind of thing nandroid is great for.
