Status in Settings Force Closes. - Acer Iconia A500

Okay, so I have the Acer A500 with Flexstriker's Rom and everytime I go to..
About Tablet >> Status it force closes saying the application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
It is seriously pissing me off, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Collin

Did you ask Civato about it on his thread?
I will only guess, some other app might be messing around, like a battery app or Task app. Utility apps, are known problem makers.

no i didnt - i was just curious if anyone else was having the same problem...

You should post it there on his thread. Civato is very good about taking care of his roms. Most Rom modders are. Myself included. And if there's an issue, I promise, we do our best to find a solution.
I myself found 2 users, who had an issue with my rom last night. 1 was user error, the other may or may not have an issue. But, neither was posted on my thread, and I don't know why.
Anyhow, Civato knows his rom, and he'll be better able to help.

Does this make sense to anyone?

I installed G-Alarm (latest version) and it kept crashing randomly (although the program worked and saved settings). I got tired of it crashing so I uninstalled it from my phone and installed an older version 1.5.1, it went through the install fine and asked me to save settings and reboot, upon rebooting the phone I'm greeted with the dreaded "Your device cannot boot so press volume up and it will erase all your information".
Ugh, WTF. How can uninstalling an application from my phone cause it to not boot?
I can't believe the lack of responses people get in their threads on this forum.

Do not complain
Have patience, as everybody has a life out there!
I would try another version of the app, if not re flash another ROM and try installing.

Lol, and the only reply I got was an off-topic one from someone telling me not to complain because other people have lives. I guess I'm used to forums that reply because they have answers to the questions.
I'll just browse this forum instead of asking questions, because it seems like many users don't get replied and that is including me.
so I'll just be the general user and download roms and stfu.
It'll work
Your question "Ugh, WTF. How can uninstalling an application from my phone cause it to not boot?" is a legitimate rhetorical one. It's not suppose to happen, but sometimes it does. It happened to me when I tried to uninstall a particular build of Opera Mobile 9.7 recently. Nobody can explain it. That's why you're not getting a response.
And you're sure you've provided all the information needed for us to answer your question
You did not mention anything, not the ROM you are using, no other programs, if .NET is installed and so on.
I simply can tell you that I never had such a problem with GAlarm as long as I am using it (must be a year now).

AOSP Dialer w/ DC or Fresh??

Is it possible to use the AOSP dialer (not the HTC stock one) with DC or Froyo. Right now, every time I make a call using Google Voice or something, the HTC call screen comes up. I don't want to completely scrap Sense because I like some things like the alarm app. Is there a solution?
Yes I posted this in Q&A, but there seems to be more Q than A there.
help please
I would like this too.
bumpbumpbumpbumpbumpbumpbump
I posted a reply on the thread started in dev and moved to QA, and I'll paste it here also. Hopefully we can either combine findings or someone will know the answer:
I'm hoping to do the same thing. I like the AOSP dialer and contacts much better.
I have been able to get the AOSP calendar, calculator, clock, browser, etc. to install on DC from bugless beast, so far with no problems.
However when I install some of the phone stuff I just get FCs for everything.
I installed the following apks from bugless beast on DC:
contacts
contactsProvider
Phone
Telephony
FutureDial
And got FCs. I haven't had a chance to try any further. Anybody else have ideas?
halp plz anyone
Can anyone do it?!
I can just install this and it will replace the sense dialer and call screen?

I didn't mean it could be done. I meant it in the Billy Madison sense.

That seems a bit harsh, considering my post with some valid information to get closer to an answer. I think if a few of us work on different ways of doing this, we will probably figure it out.
I appreciate your response, but it wasn't an answer to my question so much as a question in itself. Does anyone know how to install the AOSP Dialer?
I pulled apart the apk and I am in way over my head. Not sure what I'm doing.

i would like to see the aosp dialer too. i dont like the sense dialer at all.

I did answer how to install the AOSP dialer, it just didn't work. I'm hoping more people than me can actively try to get this to work (I work 50 hours a week and have a kid so I don't have a lot of time on my hands). I'll try to stop arguing and explain how people can work on this
The needed files are contacts, contactsprovider, and phone. However there is apparently something else needed to make them work properly. It could be adding another apk, or removing another apk, or even editing some other file (config file, framework file, etc.)
So I'm trying a post in the development section. Hopefully they don't kill it. I have included careful instructions on how to install this stuff, and my progress so far with the dialer. If other people keep trying, hopefully we can figure it out. I can say that just installing that contacts.apk will probably not work, since contactsprovider.apk is almost certainly needed.

This error is because the nand partition isn't mounted yet. Issue "adb remount" before.
It will clearly work with a rooted EVO Rom. See the thread below for an example:

Yes, it certainly CAN work. I wish some of the people that have made it work in those ROMs would follow up with us and let us know.
Most interesting thing so far: in that thread I posted in the dev section, someone said it worked with pre 1.47 OTA ROMs. I'm hoping to try a few things soon to see when it does or doesn't work.
Fresh 0.53 is a Pre 1.47 Rom. I've been trying with that for almost a month. I even tried porting over the files you listed in your other thread. All I get is force closes.

FIX - How to stop the "Unable to start tethering. Please try again!" message and conn

FIX - How to stop the "Unable to start tethering. Please try again!" message and conn
I'm so proud of myself for getting to post a fix, even if it is the most obvious fix in the world.
Evo is my first Android. When installing new roms, I would sometimes get the error of "Unable to start tethering. Please try again!" So I would update the Wireless Tether app, reload the ROM, etc.
Today I did the easiest thing and I've never seen it documented before, so here it is. When you get that message, just hit the menu button and select Settings. While on the Settings menu, hit the menu button again and click "(Re)-Install binaries/configs." It's the only option. It is immediately updated and then everything works again.
I've seen thread after thread on this while searching and nobody mentioned this. I don't know why it took me/us so long to find this option! Anyway, if this is common knowledge then who cares, somebody will search for and find this fix at some point.
Later!
I just learned about this yesterday and it fixed my tethering issues. Good work posting it up for all to find!

been there done that...it does need to be a sticky untill they figure out the problem...
^^Ha ha. Ok, so I'm not the first. But yes, this drives all new rooters crazy including myself. The problem is that there are so many threads about the problem that just go nowhere that the few actual answers are drowned out in the search results.
I appreciate the thread... such a simple solution and yet it seems to be getting past a lot of us. Thanks, fixed my problems!

EB13 Market Issues...missing apps

I loaded up EB13 last night and had no issues until I started downloading my apps. I have Slingplayer that I purchased to watch my Slingbox on my phone while on the go. If I search the Market it is missing. At first I thought it was something with paid apps, but I noticed my other bought apps were listed. I also noticed Ringlert was not listed in the market...a free app.
If I login into the Market on a PC web browser I can find those apps with no issues. But it says I have them installed on my phone already. Umm..no I don't!
Anyone else having issues like this?
There seem to be some people, myself included, that are having issues with protected apps. I noticed that NYTimes is not showing up and neither is TMZ. I need to try a clean install and see if I still have the problem, I cannot tell if this issue is happening after a data restore from CMW, or if its a real bug. Did you do any data restore?
The problem is the market does not recognize this release as a legitimate. It will take a few days before it does. There is a fix you can apply if you search for it in the device section.

Kinda figured something like that... think that's the i9000 fingerprint fix or something like that.
Also, try to contact the developer of the app. They might be able to change something that might make it work.
Just for the Record, I'm having the same problem as well. I Installed the EB13 and Slingplayer isn't listed in the Market, I'll wait a few days to see what happens. Hopefully it's back in there cause I really don't feel like screwing around with crap.
Im having the same problem .... cant find Slingplayer in market after EB13 ... Does anyone have the fix??????????

metallica said in a previous post that there is a fix somewhere the development section. it has to do with the i9000 fingerprint. search for it.
I can not find it. I wish someone could post a link to it. And do I have to root the phone to use the this FIX?

I'm not sure about the i9000 fingerprint, but here is the Nexus One fingerprint.

And yes, you must be root to use this fix as you will be editing a system file (/system/build.prop).

This is the old fix here
Same problem. I have eight or so apps that I used to have that either can't see in the market after applying EB13, or that come up as "not found" on AppBrain now. Google customer service suggests that I reboot my phone. *sigh*
From Google:
Hello Rob,
Thanks for writing in. We believe we have identified the cause of this issue and should be able to resolve this within next seven business days.

I had the same problem. Try clearing the cache and data in the market app.

I hope this helps.

Slingplayer still missing. Missing on another phone that isn't rooted. He refuses to root his phone.
Clearing the cache won't help with this problem. It's on Google's side.
If you are rooted, you can always backup the apk file while on the old 2.1 or DK28 build when it showed up in the market, then reinstall by hand after loading EB13
This is now resolved for me.

Yep looks like Google fixed it...Slingplayer is now showing with an update to boot.

Apps Won't Install

Hi,
*** PLEASE READ THIS THRU CAREFULLY BEFORE RESPONDING ***
I apologize. I am not trying to be rude. But I'm sure that we will all agree that it is simply wasting time and energy, when people do not read something thru and just paste in fixes that have already been stated as not working (below), or asking questions that have already been answered (below).
Anyway folks.....
I have read the various threads that I could find on this, but none of the problems are exactly like mine and none of the fixes helped me, so I thought I would try in a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 area. I hope I haven't violated any rules.
I have a 32GB Samsung Galaxy WiFi 10.1" P7510 Tablet and at least 8GB of free speace.
I am running the Factory ICS v4.0.4 ROM Rooted, with the A1 OverClocking Kernel & CWM added to it.
What's happening is the following:
Apps in Google Play will install fine. Updates also work.
Apps from Amazon App Store/Market will no longer update, nor "Reinstall".
Apps that I have downloaded from web sites (Apk files) will not install.
If I try to install one of the second and third options, I do get the box that pops up and it shows both the "Install", and "Cancel" buttons.
But if I tap "Install", nothing happens. No error messages, nothing. The button doesn't even visually indent like it normally would when you tap a button on your Android device.
I have tried uninstalling apps, to see if it was messing up on the amount of free space, but that didn't help.
I tried clearing the Cache and Data in both the Amazon and Google Stiores/Markets, but that didn't help.
I tried uninstalling one of my apps from the Amazon Market, to reinstall it, because it wouldn't update, but now it won't even install again!
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!!!

Maybe an over-kill question, but have you allowed 'Unknown Sources' to be enabled? If so, then this is a stumper indeed. Your story looks so much like that -should- be the issue... Good luck if that is not the issue...

That is a good question, but yes, I do have it enabled. I even tried enabling and disabling the "Debug" setting just in case it would make a difference.
Thanks anyway.
