Proposed force-close fix

Hello,
I recently had a force-close issue on a recent rom (syndicate frozen 1.1.0) where I was overclocking to 1.4ghz and tried to wifi tether. Tether would not start, so I closed it with taskmanager, and restarted tether. Phone instantly rebooted and I was stuck with the apps that were previously running force-closing.
You need to be rooted for this to work.
Make a list of all the apps that are force closing (important that you include your launcher)
I found out that if you go to the "report" button, there is a "more info" button that opens browser (hopefully it still works). From there, do a google search for a free root file system browser apk (there are plenty of them). Download the apk. the pulldown menu should still be working. Once the download finishes, you will get a notification, pull down the bar and install the app. after it installs, you will get a prompt to "open" the app or "close" the window, choose "open". Navigate to your /data/data folder. search for something that resembles an app that keeps force closing. Enter that folder and delete all the files/folders inside. repeat for the rest of the broken apps. Reboot your phone and it should work fine now.
I am asking that all/most rom developers to add another button on the "force close" "report" notification labeled "fix" that deletes the files from the apps data folder.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this just the same thing as going to settings-apps and then clearing data for that app?

ooooorrrr you could goto menu>settings>applications>find the app force closing and click clear data and achieve the same thing a lot easier...
rom developers dont have the ability to add buttons to those windows... those reports goto google or samsung...

Not Development. Moved to General.

I just enable journaling and what is this?

First off, sorry about the misplaced post.
I know it does the same thing, but if you are stuck at a force-close loop and your launcher app will not load, not allowing you to access the app management page; you see the dilemma.

i believe this could be because journaling is disabled. After you get your phone set up the way you want it, make a backup. Then restore the backup and you have journaling enabled. Or at the very least, if you get stuck at a force close loop, you will still have a backup to restore and not have to spend hours setting up all your apps etc.
just sayin'

Can also use JournalingOn.zip to instantly enable journaling.. but always having a bckup on hand is a good thing

Just got Hd2 question

Hey guys just got my Hd2 and I asked the seller to put lastest sense on which he did it is on nand but the graphical glitches annoy me and I am playing with this phone (I am on Verizon) so I don't need data working just a non graphicl sense rom and how.to flash over this rom
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Seeing as how you have such a high post count I'd have expected you to have read up on the how to's. >.>
Anyways, opinions aside, you need to elaborate. For example which version of sense, what rom, bootloader (cLK or MAGLDR?), etc.
Also please elaborate on what you're looking for. When you say graphical glitches, do you mean "animation" glitches? Or do you mean like some things don't appear right, say the lockscreen looks messed up, or the notification bar looks wrong, etc. If it's "animation" then go to settings, display then you'll see animations and you can turn them off. Or you can download spare parts and use that to turn them off.
Anyways a basic all working sense rom is cotulla's stock desire. It's not rooted however, but you can easily root it with z4root. Or you can try imika's desire z/hd builds.

True I tried to understand how I am on a Verizon fascinate so its much easier to put find so I am stuck on trying to understand.
And what I mean by graphical glitches is that the screen in random parts there are gray scrambled bits like on a old tv

Which build are you using? Well doesn't matter which build it guess since its causing problems. Anyways are you using clk or MAGLDR?
If you're using clk then your phone should be able to charge whilst you're phone us off. To enter cwm, I think it's hold home key while you turn on the phone, which I'm guessing you're familiar with.cwm already so just flash a different rom from there.
If you're using MAGLDR, your phone should go to a menu when you turn on the phone and hold the power button. In that menu navigate to ad clockwork and that will take you to cwm. Another way to flash time through MAGLDR is through usb flasher, but may only work if the build you downloaded came with a daf. exe or something similar.

Constant systemui FCs?

Does any one else experience constant FCs with the systemui process? I get it nearly every single time I use tweetdeck. Rarely in other places. It's a pain because the notification bar with its softkeys vanish and requires a hard reboot.

Sorry, don't use MUI so have no clue, but you might want to put that in the thread title so people using it read it.....

Have you tried fixing permissions? That usually fixes force close problems.

I am not using MUI. Where'd you get that from?
It's on the sd card, samdisk 8g class 4 (I did my homework), and I did try running the fix_permissions, but for some reason tweetdeck still throws an FC say half the time.

I saw systemui in the title so I misinterpreted that to mean you were using MUI.
What version of Tweetdeck are you using? The current version in the market is 1.0.7.3 and one of the updates is "fix rare crashes". I also note it reads the phone state, which we do not have. Has this ever worked on your Nook? You could try modifying the permissions by turning that part off.

I'm using the latest version of TweetDeck. I keep the market apps updated when they become available.
TweetDeck works great on the Nook, it's just half the time I enter it, I get a systemui FC (which is the notification bar). Once that happens, I lose the soft-keys and my notification bar. There's no way to do "back", "menu" or any of that then. End up having to restart the nook to get the softkeys/noti-bar back. When the systemui FCs, everything else works fine - tweetdeck still does its thing, i am just now missing my notibar/softkeys at the bottom. The NC continues to operate fine (I can go to the N/home button and continue using the screens, the app drawer, etc - just lost my noti/softkeys).
SOMETIMES, the system reloads it. Maybe 5% of the time when it FCs the systemui - about 2 seconds later it magically re-appears.
No other app or action on the NC gives me this crash, so I'm not entirely sure what is causing it. If I was getting random FCs elsewhere, I'd start thinking the SD card - but for all intents and purposes, the thing runs solid on the card. I use it for Netflix, DLNA apps to control my laptop and blu-ray players, Angry Birds, N64 and SNES ROMs, Google Music beta - and it's all champs.
Something about TweetDeck, though, is causing this silly systemui crash on me.
I've never had any other issues with apps that read "phone state" (and assumed that its that reason why we still have dialer and phone apps installed on our builds, so those apps won't crash).
Heck, I don't even freeze anything - it's a base CM7 install, no special tweaks. I even tried installing the Notification Restart app which is supposed to restart the notification bar - and that doesn't do a damned thing.

No, the reason is that CM7 was developed to run on a lot of different platforms so we get everything whether it is needed or not. I'm not saying it will work, but try killing the phone permissions.

CM7 is, yes - the specific ports, no. The Nook Color CM7 build (encore) keeps the camera, phone, etc - in there because some market apps, and market themselves won't work without them.

Anyone else get odd behavior when both volume buttons held down simultaneously?

Pressing both volume buttons on my N7 at the same time seems to peg the CPU causing really bad performance for about a minute. A little later on, a blank email pops up with a screenshot and system dump attached. The email has no to address.
I also get a bunch of notifications from superuser that Shell has been denied root.
Does anyone else see this? Trying to figure out if it's a CM issue or a JB issue or what. Any help appreciated.

Mine does nothing...
I'm stock

Seems like some debug feature built into the rom then.

Does the same on a stock (rooted) HTC Sensation running ICS. I get a vibration, then the CPU lags for around 2 minutes, then I get 2/3 short vibrations.
Some people think it's CM related, it isn't, I haven't had CM anywhere near this phone.

It is dev feature. It is creating a log which can be found in a folder on the sdcard
Can't remember exactly what It's called now but it's the same on the one x

Just had a look through the developer options, can't see anything for generating a log. Would be useful if you could find out what it was called.
I was otherwise unable to reproduce (no log on my SD card either, in-case it's an "always on feature), however I did just install the updated drivers.

It won't be in dev options, the Nexus S has something similar to this, that pressing a key while booting will activate this logging thing and can't be turned off, that's what this sounds like to me

Easy guide to improve jelly bean experience

Hello guys. I've been playing around with Jelly bean official, deleting some apps, adding other apps, and together with members on this page we were able to find some bugs and some workarounds. Well, i have some suggestions so that you guys can improve on speed (at least seemed to have worked for me ).
1) Download from Play Store app: Android Tuner (link for freeversion, has less options), Titanium backup, Gemini app
2) At Android Tuner, Go to Main Menu then again on the option One-Click (with the blue android) and it'll appear 2 options. One wich says One-click reset (it'll put all the buttons blue with on), and the other ont wich says "on boot" . Click on both, Leave the last one unchecked (it is not necessary to constantly do this, you can do it manualy later.
3) On same page, at the top wich says "build" click on it. Below you'll find a option wich says Presets, click and then Apply all presets. (later search for debug.sf.nobootanimation (click on the red cross, to remove it in orther to keep )
4)SysCtl, click at Recommended, the app will calculate for your phone automaticaly then click on boot so that it'll boot always with same configuration. (we can test this later, other configurations suggested by the users)
5) on the tab, scroll to your left untill you find the option SD, select cache size :2048 then click "on boot)
6) Slide again to the option OOM, and basicacly is setting same configuration as we use on Maximum Overdrive to max usage of RAM :
Select light preset
Then click on boot.
7) Using this app or titanium backup freeze or remove:
Samsung Push notification app
Email.apk
ExchangeServer.apk
8) Using Germini app ,click Menu then expert mode search for the following apps: Maps.apk, talk.apk, select each of them, select configure autorun, then press menu, and Disable app. (The app will still work, but use less the CPU usage, leaving free for other apps).
9) Go back to Android Tuner and On the main menu running click on One-Click (with a toolbox) -> Manage and it'll appear 5 options , click 1 by 1 on each.
10) reeboot
Optional: 11) Remove all live wall papers or convert to user apps, and free till 130 MB memory, using titanium backup, press menu then integrate dalvikcache.
12)Convert database to WAL(faster database).
13)On Android Tuner run again Defrag registry​
Now you should have a much smoother experience.
I've tested this with Wanamlite wich is free of bloatware.
I hope this helps to get a better experience.
Note: In touchwiz launcher, when you create a folder at the menu, and you insert there your apps, if after a reeboot for some reason the apps are not there it is because you have your apps instaled on your SD card, go to app manager, select the app and move to Internel SD Card, and it is solved.​

For now no. I've made this guide more and less three days after testing. Never has issues. Seems to be working great and fast battery life, With wifi off and power save on. Had an estimated of 7 hours screen watching a movie. When I can test ill share the results. But if someone could test this would be great. Once I had 2 hours and 30 min of display use and still was 78%.
