I wanted to back up my nook using rom manager today, it said it needed to downloaded something in order to backup, did the download and proceeded to backup. Now when I go to read my book I get "process com.mantano.reader.android has stopped unexpectedly". I have repeatedly tried to open books and keep getting that message. I did a restore from the backup I just did, tried uninstalling and reinstalling, also tried something in rom manager that said it could help with force closes (I get an error near the end with that).
Also will not show all my pictures in the image viewer, but I can view them when I go into "my files"
Ok, this is gonna sound stupid now, but think I figured out the problem. I forget where I saw it but something said my SD card was full. I deleted my two backups that I had in rom manager and guess what? Everything works fine.....

Something happened to my over the weekend. I found it had reset and kept resetting on the loading screen. I took the battery out, popped it on and turned it on. It made it to the home screen but all the apps I had stored on the SD card would close unexpectedly. It looked like ext2 partition crapped out or something as none of those apps would run. So I restored a backup from Nandroid and everything was working again EXCEPT for my SMS/MMS.
Whenever I go into messages, it crashes with a "force close" prompt stating com.android.mms closed unexpectedly. I'm thinking if I could clear all the messages I had save that would solve the problem, but I have no clue where they're stored.
Any advice?
Found what I needed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2976069&highlight=messages+stored#post2976069
I deleted the DB with the messages, all is well.
same problem here,
clicking "sms" pops up an error msg "com.android.mms ended unexpected"
I have not found any .db files yet :-(
Hello,
Did you deleted mmssms.db or some of "PART_XXXXXXXXXX" files too?
Thanks!
Deleting the mmssms.db file
For no apparent reason my phone's messaging app suddenly started force closing. After multiple reboots, even taking the battery out while phone was on, changing the language settings, and even doing a data factory reset, nothing worked. Found this post and deleted the mmssms.db file, now messaging app works fine, tho I lost all the old messages. That's ok, I had all but the last day backed up to Gmail anyway. So, just delete the database file.

I have the same problem. Did you permanently delete the database or is it still there? Cos I tried to delete the database throught root explorer but it still remains altho it has deleted all the messages saved in it.
any news on the com.android.mms subject????? I feel very frustrated with my android and i looked everywhere on the internet and can't manage to fix it!
A possible fix
Here's what I did that fixed mine:
I think the root-cause of this error occurred from restoring old messages. There must have been a character/corruption somewhere that was screwing everything up.
Please note the following: I'm using an Evo 4G, running gingerbread-evo-deck-1.2 ROM. I realize this is a G1 thread, but this came up first on google, so I think it would be most helpful here. I was getting the error as described when using the "Messaging" app.
What I did:
Terminal Emulator
su (allow root if prompted)
rm /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
Menu > Reset terminal (probably an unnecessary step, but it's what I did)
home screen > remove battery while running
wait 20 seconds
reboot
I don't know why removing the battery that way works. I did try force closing the "Message" app and it didn't work. I realize now I probably should have tried to figure out how to kill the underlying framework, but oh well. I'm not going to try breaking it again.

Works for me thanks
Hi all!
Quite the n00b at this forum, so bare with me. I've tried to search for a solution to my problem, but haven't been able to find any.
My problem started with me having several app crashes, even those native to the phone like the Market app. I guess it happened after I installed several apps, and also a couple of launchers (ADW and LauncherPro). I decided to uninstall several apps to see if I could get the system running without any more apps crashing when using them. What happened though was that the apps I uninstalled just appeared again after doing a reset of the phone... I've tried it several times, and can't seem to get rid of neither the apps nor the launchers.
After this I thought doing a hard reset might solve the issue, but no go. I got an errormsg in the reset, and when the phone started again, all of my data (contacts, sms and such) was deleted, but most apps, and those launchers, was still there.
Would have posted a picture of it, but since I'm "new", I'm not allowed. The msg was:
multicsc : can not acces to /system/csc/XEE/system/
I don't know if the error is related to the uninstalling problem at all though..
What to do?
Have you tried all ways of uninstalling?
Market/ File Manager/ Managing Applications / Edit Menu?
If not sounds like a factory reset may be in order :/ Or even worse you have to format your SD card as a lot of app data gets saved onto it.
I've tried the factory reset as I also wrote, perhaps I shouldn't have called it a "hard reset"
I guess I can try to format the SD card, perhaps the problem lies with the card. Seems strange though that I don't get an error when trying to uninstall the apps from the "Manage applications" menu..
How can i uninstall via File Manager?
Update: Formating SD card did nothing..
No one got any clue? I just got the phone a couple of days ago, and its quite frustrating not being able to use it properly.
Yet another update: Seems I can't delete _anything_ on the phones internal memory, it just pops up again after doing a restart of the phone. I've even connected it to my PC and deleted some files via explorer..
Maybe its time to install a new rom like Samset 1.9b
As it fully wipes and reinstalls the os. If you don't want to do that I recommend you get it repaired or replaced. I find that factory reset sometimes don't actually work but a new rom does.

Thanks alot for answering
I've considered it. But I'm not sure I want to break my warranty which I guess flashing it might do? And also, if thats the case, it would be real bad to flash it/void warranty, just to find out I need to get it repaired anyways. That would suck bigtime..
I can't for the life of me figure out what might be wrong, seeing as NOTHING stucks to the internal memory after a restart of the phone..
Noone that has got any clues on what to do?
New update:
I've tried updating FW to JM2, seemed to go fine. But after update/flashing, I see that I still got the same apps and desktop background and such lying about.. Nothing seems to have been deleted.. And now I also get app errors immediately after starting up the phone. Menus and such seem to work fine.
hi i am currently unrooted after i recently restored my phone using the 2.2 SBF. i redownloaded most of my old applications but a few of them for some reason will just not install and i just get the yellow /!\ mark that says "install unsuccessful" everytime. specifically angry birds and i few other paid apps do this to me and i really want to install them. i tried clearing market data and cache in settings but still did not work. so any help with this?
I know you sbf'ed. But is it possible some data got restored and possibly corrupted since when you log into your google account they automatically restore data for you? Have you tried using root explorer to browse through /data/app and see if there are any files there?
Of course you will have to be rooted to do that. just a thought. the only thing I could come up with.
hi, i installed mdeejays android version succesfully, however some apps fail to install via market.
for example angry birds and the latest facebook app. the smaller apps will install without any problem. but the important apps wont. what can i do about this?
i read something about unmounting SD card. i tried that. But still got the problem.
What should i do?
I really want the facebook 1.5.0 app
tnx
Do you get an error or do they just stuck on 100% after downloading?

I get an error. But sometimes the download just cancels itself.
however, the main problem is the error. because i could download the apk file via rapidshare etc.
But the problem is the error. the error says after the install bar runs:
Application did not install. (in dutch)
The other problem, with the download cancelling is like this:
when selecting an app for download, the download bar starts running.
But after a few seconds the download bar disappears by itself. so eventually, the app never reaches my phone. in fact the download never completes.
so there are 2 problems. but the first problem is worse than the second.
However, it would be great if you could help me to solve them both.
First problem: i get an error when installing certain apps.
second: My downloads from the market wont complete.
sorry for any weird sentences, english is not my first language.
Kinda glad to know that I'm not the only one with the same problem... still trying to figure out what happened.
I know a clean install will fix the problem but I don't want to go through that again...
My phone is a Motorola Milestone running CM6 10.12.22
i just did a clean install from the latest android out there (darkstone superram 0.1) with the dutch vodafone data mod and i cannot download a single byte from the market. the market itself works fine over wifi or G3, but all files refuse to download.
thing that sucks as well is that i have the apk for applanet on the sd card but a cannot get to it as the darkstone lacks a sd card explorer app....
When that happened to me, Market reported an error -18. An online search recommended deleting a hidden directory ".android_secure" on the SD card. I'm running CM6.1 on a CDMA Hero with most of my apps running from the SD. From what I found online, that secure stuff is for Froyo apps2sd... which is why some apps downloaded and installed okay, and why some apps downloaded, but failed to install.
You can also try some cache dumps including Dalvik. Run "Fix Permissions" in ROM Manager. Then try the downloads again. If that still doesn't work, you might want to delete the ".android_secure" hidden directory.
Make sure to do a Nand backup and copy the contents of the SD card onto your computer before attempting any fix. Play it safe.
Good luck.
This is in response to the thread "[request]Possible to get kindle default reader on rooted Fire?" in the Dev area which I can't post to, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437047. I fully agree with darkstar765 who wrote:
"One of the main reasons i continue flashing back to the stock rom is because of the awful reader apps. Is it possible to get the stock reader flashed over?"
Running the stock rom with GO Launcher I found that in order to run the reader app I really needed to start the stock launcher. If you just tap on the Amazon Kindle app nothing happens. If you start the launcher you can select "Books" and it will run the reader app.
With that in mind I restored the stock rom and used Ti to backup the Amazon Kindle app, the Launcher app and a few other system apps that looked like they might be useful. Then I went back to cm7 and started restoring.
First I just restored the Amazon Kindle app. It was backed up as another version of the market reader of the same name. I restored the one I backed up from stock rom and tried running it. As expected, nothing happened.
Then I restored the stock Launcher. It FCs immediately and bounces me back to ADW launcher. It closes so fast I can't read the message that pops up, so I don't know if it's trying to tell me anything useful.
At this point I'm pretty much out of my depth and just trying stuff. I don't know what to try backing up and restoring next. Just for grins I tried restoring "System Browser Provider" but it didn't make any difference. Next I tried restoring the Silk browser. Now the FC pop up stays on screen! It says: "Sorry! The application Browser (process com.amazon.cloud9) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. [Force close]"
Update: There are actually two FCs back tho back. The first one says application Launcher has stopped. It just flashes for a moment and then is replaced by the Browser FC message.
Still missing something. Anyone have any suggestions as to what apps to try restoring from stock rom? Is it even possible to do this via Ti backup?
Thanks
Well, thanks for the post with what you have found .
I think, generally speaking, I might like the stock launcher, but as it turns out, you get better use of screen space out of the android market version of the reader. I asked a friend of mine, C0deMaver1ck around here, and he mentioned he didn't think it was possible to port the launcher over due to its use of proprietary frameworks. Can't think of anyway I'd go about it, but maybe someone else will know better.
