Rooted MyTouch 4G CM7 issue.

I have recently rooted and installed CM7 RC1 on my MyTouch 4G everything seemed to be going well for the first about 30 mins i got gapps installed (manually btw) but suddenly after the phone started to install apps from the android marketplace i can no longer long press on the home screen nor can i move widgets i can still feel the haptic feedback but no response.

Sounds like a bad install, reinstall clear all user data, cache, dalvik-cache and fix permissions before booting back up.

Thanks ill try that right now and come back with any other issues. That presist after re-install.
Also wanted to state that for installing Gapps i had to do it the Manual way if that matters or if anybody is having trouble installing them.

Manual as in flashing the zip file, we all had to do that.

No i mean instead of having RomManager do it i did it manually in recovery.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I never do anything important like that in rom manager, always boot into recovery.

i had that same problem and it was a simple fix on my part. i actually had accidently hit lock desktop under the more menu on the desktop screen. u can long press and nothing happens or cant move widgets while the desktop is locked. try seeing under the desktop menu if it is locked if so unlock it and that should work. hope this helps some

Are you using magldr or clk?
Note: deleting data partition will delete all your data including apps and settings.

cwm7? Never heard that before.
If you know how to boot to ad recovery, that is, by pressing red/power button while phone is booting then choose Ad Recovery. Then choose wipe data and cache partition. This will restore back everything just like the first time you boot after installing the rom.
Again, wiping data and cache partition will delete all downloaded apps and user and syatem settinga. Be sure to make a backup.

Better do a task29 then install radioand reinstall magldr or clk then install cwm then install rom. In short, start from scratch since you are selling it.

If I was to clear the cache, then turn the phone off, wohld it just reboot like it was first flash. I have already sold it and I am trying to explain to the guy how to fix it so the easier ther better, cause he is more of a newb than I am

[Q] Android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly

I am running a stable CM7;every time I install a new rom I get the error message "The Process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly". This keeps on going and eventually causes some sort of boot loop, I just go back into recovery and restore to my CM7. I've done a great deal of research, and still can't find the solution to my problem. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Full wipe (data, cache, dalvik) and reflash

I've already tried doing that, it would work up until I rebooted the phone; then I'd get the same problem.

What roms have you tried?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App

Miui, synergy, virtuous unity. Got the same problem for all.

Do you have the good or bad emmc chip?

I have the good one I believe (SEM04G 2.17GiB)

That's the good one...hmm..go in to mounts and storage and wipe everything (except sdcard)

That worked, but after restoring with Titanium I got the same message; this time it didn't shut down though. Could it be a bad back up?

I've run across this issue a few times myself. If you Google it, the process is an issue with syncing a contact. The easy way to fix is wipe your contacts using titanium. Otherwise, if you've restored your contacts, search through them for a contact with information but without a name.

Whenever i restored with titanium this happened. Turns out that if you restore your "system" that it will mess up. so only restore apps when flashing different roms

My wife's with original ROM and not unlocked and not rooted is having the same problem.
I will look through the contacts, but that is VERY difficult, as it stops unexpectedly soon after showing Contacts.
It seems to be something with her contact list from Google that gets onto her phone that causes Contacts to crash. Any ideas what I need to look for, or some utility to clean her contacts?

Google Books!

I downloaded Google Books today just to play around with it and now I cannot uninstall it. I don't want to root my phone just to get rid of it. Will a hard reset help?

Not sure bout a hard reset. When i got my phone, this was already preinstalled. Your phone might think its a system app and not clear after a hard reset.

Hmm.. that sucks.
By the way, is there any difference between a factory reset done via the settings menu and the hard reset done by booting into the special menu?

All Nexus Ss come with Google Books preinstalled after the 2.3.1 or 2.3.2 ota. So nothing can remove it unless you root. Why so annoyed by it? you never noticed it being installed on the phone before and it doesn't take any resources if you disable books syncing from Accounts and Sync under the system settings.

My phone did not have google books preinstalled. I installed it yesterday just to see what it was and now I'm stuck with it.

Pretty sure it's still the same as it use to be
Soft reset is like rebooting
Hard reset is like unplugging something while its on( removing battery without turning phone off first).
Factory rest wipes it to stock, or original rom that you may have flashed. All setting revert to default.
Don't quote me though

Actually, I wanted to know if there is any difference between the two methods of performing a factory reset -
1. Settings> Privacy> Factory Data Reset
2. Power off phone. Power on while pressing the volume up button. And then reset.
Does the latter method perform a "deeper" reset?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App

Its a preference thing.
If I'm on stock, prolly do it through settings.
Or through bootloader if i can't get it to boot.
If rooted and unlocked and custom rom, i do it through recovery. Cause i can flash and clear stuff in 1 shot.

I want to "root" my phone only for the purpose of getting rid of some pre-installed stuff. I do not want to have a custon ROM, at least not now.
I've seen this thread which explains rooting the Nexus S, giving 4 steps in which to do it.
At what step can I stop if I want just a simple root as stated above? Or will I have to go through the whole process?
Will the procedure erase anything from my phone? If yes, how do I backup?

I believe both reset methods do the same thing, which is format the /data partition (and maybe a bit more?).

The process will wipe your data, and you need to do the whole thing.

I just checked, it only takes up 4M, which is nothing. I wouldn't worry about it so much.
