Installed 2.3.3 but...

Hi all, encouraged by all the positive comments about JPK I decided to go on and install it.
All went well, rooted without trouble then went back to the stock kernel. I restored all the apps and system data with Titanium Backup and suddenly the process com.android.systemui (the top taskbar) crashed. I rebooted the phone but the error stayed.
I tried reflashing but this time I installed the apps from scratch and used Titanium to restore the apps data, after that the system responded very stable until an hour ago when the com.android.systemui error and crash appeared again.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any fixes?
I was on JPY before, I guess I'll try JS8 or go back to JPY
Thanks

never restore system data unless whatever ur running is the same thing you were running when you did the backup.

I absolutely agree with you. That's why I flashed again with no system data restore. But the process crashed once more.
Thanks for your input Runedrune
Any other thoughts?

But did you wipe everything before/after the flash?

Yes, everything but the (obviously) external sd card.
The only thing I didn't do was repartition. Do you think that could fix it?

Try repartition. I did with 512 pit and no problems installed this way on 6 phones.
Good luck.

This to me seems like a problem with Titanium Backup: because both times you experienced it after using it, and no one else here have reported anything like that with JVK.

Best thing for contacts is to sync with Google. As soon as you sign in to market after wiping and flashing things all contacts are restored. Clean and simple and always on hand if you lose your phone.

It explains everything related to the backup with TB and why you're experiencing this error.

It happened to me exactly the same..its because you used Titanium and restored system data.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

I've had the same issues with TB, i used it in the beginning. But now i just keep a list of have-to-have apps and i sync my calendar & contacts with google.
I'm also running on 2.3.3, it runs much faster and smoother than 2.2, some lags but a lot less then stock 2.2.

Ok, I'll give it Google sync a try and backup my data using other means. Does anyone know how long does it take to make a full backup via Google?
And will this include wifi and apn settings?
Thanks again

As far as i know, but i could be wrong, you can only sync calendar & contacts via Google. So settings of your phone won't be backed up.

Success!! Thank you all for your suggestions. Gingerbread works smoothly now. Working through the first battery depleting cycles now, time will tell.
Sadly my car home app from samsung for the vibrant car dock doesn't work anymore. It does trigger car mode but it won't play the music through the dock's line out nor keep the screen on. Anyone else experienced this?
Maybe wait for a Gingerbread supported version of the app?
Thanks once more

Everything keeps foreclosing!

Hi guys i've been noticing since last night that my home screen keeps foreclosing on me and whenever a message comes in it comes in slow. At first I thought it was my launcherpro acting so I decided to go back using the stock launcher but then the foreclosings kept occurring and even when opening Apps it would seem slow to open them. Can anyone help or tell me how to fix this? Thanks

I'm really sorry, but I couldn't help this...
Blame the bad economy if you're foreclosing!

Lol nice one
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Whenever i get forces closes i usually solve it by clearing the data in the app manager or uninstalling and reinstalling.
Are you using a stock rom?

Are you using stock ROM or custom?
Try reflashing the custom ROM if you are. Remember to wipe data / cache / dalvik. This usually solves most problem

My phone is not rooted its stock everything

Also when I flip through my home screens the contact is very delayed
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Did the forcecloses start after you installed launcherpro?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Ive had launcher pro for about 2 months and it would fore close once in a while but nothing too bad. I uninstalled the app and it then the stock launcher started foreclosing on me

I think one of the system file is messed up. I'm not sure though. Maybe you can try to unroot it and flash a stock rom (or hell, just go with a custom rom) to see if it's fixed.

I ended up doing a factory reset on my phone and everything is back to normal thanks for the help guys

I don't think you told anyone if you are rooted or not? I'm curious

I mentioned that I was not rooted and everything was stock

Fingerprint reader stops working

It seems that if I use my phone (ie, run another app or basically minimize the call status and do anything) while on a call using bluetooth I cannot unlock with the finger scanner any longer. Im not sure if that is the exact scenario that causes it but it always seems to happen after I use bluetooth which I only use for long work calls. A restart fixes it. Anyone else seeing this?
Tnx, Mark

Happens to me too
Yep I have the same problem. Seems like it always occurs after phone calls when I haven't restarted my phone in a few days, so I just restart and forget about it.

+1 for me...same exact scenario.

Same here, but if you bothered to search you would of found that it is a known issue with this phone and there is nothing to do to fix it besides rebooting.

It's a known problem with 1.8.3. I had it so I went back to 1.5.7 and now I'm on gingerbread. Widgetlocker does seem to fix it.

is this fixed on 2.3.4?

It's a APP problem, not a kernel issue...
I have this too... I think after installing the chrome app...
Do you have the chrome app?

I've only had this happen while running Miui gingerbread roms. Which rom/kernel are you using?

I HAVE THE FIX. Go so settings>apps>all apps (you will have to scroll the bar over to see this option)>download manager (not "downloads")>clear data. Should fix it.

With gb miui, that only worked for one or two downloads, then the behavior would return.
Not sure which rom the op is running, but that was the case with some gb roms. Luckily, I've long since upgraded to ics and no longer have that issue.

Same here but it gets annoying having to clear data a few times a day

I agree, it sucks (I'm using ICS rom.)
I usally try to download using another browser(firefox beta) when download fails.
It is a lot better than clearing app's data.

I use 5 different browsers then download the file using 1 browser at a time. So far. Most of the time the browser that least use do the job. In my case Mozilla Firefox

gapps crashing

I occasionally get a message that an gapps service has stopped. Is there any way I can find out why? I am Rooted, and running Rasbean and MKernel.
Thanks.

Does it tell you which specific service has stopped working?
You could always try reflashing the gapps to see if that would solve your issue.

I tried reinstalling them. It doesn't specify a specific App. When I get the message again I'll write it down.

The error is:
Com.Google.prowess.gapps has stopped.

Clearing data on Contacts Storage solved this issue for me on my S2. You could try the same to see if it will work. No guarantees though.

As it's a problem with gapps, try clearing data on Google Services. Beyond doing that, I'm afraid i don't know what it could be

Looking into it more it seems to be related to my Google + account not syncing correctly. I disabled sync on it hand I havent seen the error return.... yet.
