Hi all,
I am running CM9 20120720 nightly on I19100. A few days ago when I was running CM9 RC1, I noticed thee was an extra Music app in the app drawer. So I decided to uninstall it (hold down on icon and drag to uninstall). Shortly afterwards, almost every app and service (eg., Browser, Dropbox, ES File Explorer, Superuser) started to randomly crash. So I tried rebooting, same problem. I cleared the cache, and dalvik cache, and fixed permissions in CWM, and this didn't help. So I tried flashing a new nightly, cleared cache etc... and that didn't work. Even flashing RC2 didn't help.
So basically the only thing I haven't tried is wiping data and starting from scratch. Obviously I would rather fix this than have to reinstall everything, so I have attached a couple of logcats. It looks like it has something to do with /data not being readable by apps, or something. They can't access their sqlite databases and apparently that makes everything crash.
I also checked from an adb shell, /data has 300MB of free space.
I just realized it sometimes can't connect to wifi.
I have no idea what is really going on here, so any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: OK I just had to resort to a full wipe. It is fixed for now

On Dwangs latest. Darn thing wont ever work with nandroid. Had to wipe my EXT3 to recover an old image. All my apps are gone. I had most backed up via Astro.
BUT
Theres a handful that I didnt have but now the market says "Installed".
Ive tried clearing all caches and data that pertain to market. Reboots... no luck.
Is there a way to fix ?
And for future reference ..best way to backup EXT3 without ADB ?
Try downloading the apps on an online market, then installing them off the SDCard.
this should work.
remove the folder /data/data/com.android.vending
then restart. it should refresh you're market.
if all else fails. re-flash.
if removing the vending folder doesnt work, just uninstall the app, and then try re-installing it? if it says it is installed, this should work.
ALSO, if you're apps2sd wasnt automatic and you had not rebooted since your last install of a few apps, they might still be in your internal phone memory. a wipe of NAND and EXT might help resolve any problems if all else fails

This should work nicely
Thanks for the help guys. Got frustrated just wiped and started from scratch.
Appreciate it.
I just recently updated from CM6 to CM7 RC2. I flashed the ROM, then the gb gapps (03-07-2011 version), then darktremor's a2sd. I wiped data and dalvik. All of my apps on my external partition appeared upon reboot. When I open the Market, it works fine. However, when I goto the My Apps section, several apps automatically begin downloading automatically, but they never make any progress. When I cancel the download, and restart it the market crashes. If I try to download a new app, the market crashes. All other apps work fine.
My settings are set to save apps internally (so they will goto the ext partition). I've tried the following things, to no avail.
Deleting the smdl2tmp1.asec file
Reflashing gb gapps
fixing file permissions with rom manager
fixing file permissions with a2sd via terminal
clearing market, downloader, other-seemingly market related caches
Is there any other fixes for market force closes? If you need a logcat, let me know.
Bump.
Market still not downloading...I may try making a Nandroid, then flashing straight CM7 & gapps, without dta2sd....
UPDATE: I fixed it. I uninstalled the market updates, which didn't appear to have any effect, other than fixing my problem. I don't know how it updated, unless flashing gapps did it.

How do u uninstall the updates. Cause I'm having the same problem
Thanks

I don't uninstall market update,and my market is fine.strange...
OK I performed the install per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1165998 and have read every single post as of about 5 minutes prior to writing this.
Everything went perfectly fine. Installing over a stock 3.1, except for rooting. I'm not completely new to this... not a master either. I've rooted my Atrix with every official update, and rooted my dad's Verizon Incredible, I think that's the name, and installed Cyanogenmod 7.
MY problem is I can't open any "links." In either gmail or e-mail clicking on a good URL and get it to open in the stock browser, Opera or Firefox (it prompted me before the update). The screen just dims and nothing. I tap the screen and the screen "undims." This also happens when I download a pdf in Firefox and try to open it. If I use Astaro File manager I can open the pdf with out any issues. It appears to be related to the browsers only so far.
I've already performed a restore missing apps and system data with Titanium Backup Root.
Do I need to clean Dalvik cache? Do a factory wipe? Hopefully something less drastic...
Any help or pointer to resources I missed are appreciated.
P.S. I did try posting on the developer thread, and I can't post. Since I'm not experienced enough to be of much help and I prefer researching and learning without asking questions previously asked and answered.
Checked Defaults...
I just tried settings--->applications--->manage applications---->pick your app and clear defaults? No default set for the Browser, Firefox, Gmail or Opera.
CWM Cache Partition Wipe
Sorry for multiple posts I'm trying to troubleshoot my problem...
The problem still exists after clearing the cache partition with CWM.
Removed Opera
No change except I've noticed it is faster since I cleared the cache.
Removed Firefox
Now the builtin browser works!
Reinstalled Opera
Initially the same issue... and then the option to select between the Browser or Opera!
Second try the selection box appeared quickly!
Restored Opera data via Titanium Backup and all still appeared well.
Rebooted same issue... Uninstalled and reinstalled again. No change.
Rebooting...
Redo
Uninstalled Opera.
Used CWM to clear the cache partition.
Reinstall Opera.
Reinstall Firefox.
And I'll post this before my session times out. I hop this may help someone else someday.

You must have missed a post on this topic --default app picker--and someone's solution. I think I saw it in the development section. The solution was to make sure that auto rotate was set to on, and then make the screen redraw the grayed out app default picker screen by rotating the Xoom. They said to do it for each app that was causing a problem. Sounds crazy, but it seemed to work. Look for the post, or just try it. It can't hurt.
Working... Why
Working now and survived a reboot without breaking.
I haven't restored any data. :-(
Anyone know why or where I can look to try and figure out why. How about if I can recover some of the application data selectively?

Check out post #3 on this thread.
Aha
Thank you!
Good news that works great.
Better news I learned a few new things.
A good day if I do say so myself.
P.S. Note to self App Picker not file associations for Android
I can't figure out how to reset an app's data on the nook touch. On a standard android device, going to Manage Applications and selecting any app gives you the optiosn for clearing defaults, cache, and clearing data. Clearing the data is essentially the same as uninstalling the app and reinstalling it fresh.
On the nook simple touch, there is no option for clearing the app data. When you go to the app, there are options for uninstalling, clearing cache, clearing defaults, and force stopping, but it is as though B&N specifically removed the ability to clear out the data.
Does anyone know of a way to clear out the data manually? It would be nice to be able to do it on the nook itself, but I'm fine with adb.
In the end, I could always uninstall and reinstall, but that is a hassle, and I would have to back up the apk beforehand or re-download it.
You need NookColorTools for that.
I might be wrong tho as I don't currently have it installed
I do have the NookColorTools app installed. That's how I got to the manage applications menu in the first place. But the particular option for resetting the data is missing. Other than that, the screen looks exactly the same as a standard android screen for managing an app.
Could it be missing because nook touch is running android 2.1 and that feature was added on 2.2? I only have 2.2 and 2.3 with which to compare.
Ah oh well, I take that back then
The app data can be found in /data/data so you can accomplish what you want quite easily with adb.
Thanks, I figured it had to be something simple like a directory or a file.
I could probably clear out the directory using es file explorer; no need to involve the desktop.
Disclaimer: I do not recommend trying this. This is just me documenting a bad idea, mostly to get my post count up so I can start contributing to Pawit's ICS thread.
Purpose:
Document installing Pawitp's ICS release 10 over Cyanogen nightly 181 WITHOUT a wipe. Mostly just to avoid reinstalling all my apps, SMS's etc.. and to see how badly this could go.
Background:
I have been using Pawitp's ICS since the first release and upgrading with each new release. Sometimes with a full wipe, sometimes not. I was on a stable version 9 when 10 was released so i installed V10 and had a very good experience with it. I was not having any FC's, superuser was working and generally everything worked well except the browser was extremely laggy. So on a slow Sunday afternoon I thought I'd do a full wipe and reinstall V10 to see how the browser worked like that. After the factory restore and reinstall I started getting FC's and my superuser was not functioning. I played with it for a bit but eventually wound up restoring a backup of Cyanogen nightly 181 as I needed my phone working again at that time.
What I've done so far:
From Cyanogen nightly 181 I rebooted into CWM recovery, chose "install .zip from SD card", and installed Pawitp's V10. Then I installed gapps v5.3. Then rebooted the phone. (As mentioned, I did not wipe anything, not even the cache.)
The phone rebooted with 2 issues:
1) The process android.process.media FC's a lot, then eventually stops
2) The clock process FC's occasionally.
I rebooted to recovery, cleared the cache and restarted and still have the above problems. (I will work on these shortly, for now I want to see what all works.)
What is working:
1) All apps are still installed
2) Tried google earth and it still functions
3) Wifi still works and all connections are still remembered
4) Gmail upgraded and works.
5) Bluetooth turns on. I don't have any devices to test connecting to but my previous pairings are still listed.
6) Mobile Data turned off. (This is a documented bug in V10)
7) All settings work except going into sounds causes more media server FC's. It looks like this is maybe caused by my sounds being set to Cyanogen sounds that no longer exist?
8) In Accounts -> Sync, setting the browser to sync caused the error "sync is currently experiencing problems"
9) SU apps are still allowed SU rights.
10) UI still seems smooth like butter.
11) Receiving SMS worked and a sound played (and vibrated) but caused the media server crash. SMS's were kept from Cyanogen install.
12) Notification lights work (menu and back buttons light when receiving text etc.)
13) GTalk -When logging in I get the media server crash, then gtalk closes.
Now to work on the clock and media server FC's. If I figure out how to work those out I'll come back and post. If you want to know if anything works that I haven't listed let me know. If you have any thoughts on the android.process.media please let me know. (I've already cleared the cache in CWM, force stopped the media process and cleared its cache.)
Edit 1:
Clock FC fixed by finding the clock in Manage Apps, force stopping it, then clearing its data. This also deleted my alarms.
Edit 2:
Added bookmark widget and selected to sync with my gmail account. This activated browser sync in my Accounts and Sync settings suffessfully.
Edit 3:
All done with no happy ending. Talk was working but no longer opens. Calendar sync is not functioning. Market is unable to download files due to an error. Gallery works but FC's when exiting. And I never could get the media scanner errors to stop. Oh well it was fun while it lasted.
