App suddenly force closing immediately... - Galaxy Note 10.1 General

I'm having a strange new problem on my Note...
Yesterday I downloaded the new sketchbook pro for tablets update (version 2.5), and it worked fine. Drew a picture, everything worked, was all good. Last thing I did before I went to bed was finish off a picture, then put the tablet on charge for the night.
Today, I dont think I used the tablet at all until a couple hours ago. (I may have used the browser, or done an update of something, but I dont recall)
First think I did a couple hours ago was try and open up sketchbook... and it immediatly force closes back to desktop, no error message or anything. It happens after literally a split second, the app screen open up (plain black, with the sketchbook logo in the top corner) and then closes to desktop.
I have tried:
Uninstalling/Reinstalling
Wiping app cache
wiping system cache
wiping dalvik cache
deleting the apps folder off my sd card
I have also done a full system wipe, wiping all cache and user data and reinstalling my ROM.
I then reinstalled sketchbook, and it has the same issue.
Sketchbook mobile works fine, its just sketchbook pro.
Which is strange, cos it worked yesterday and it hasnt had an update since then.
I did also try installing from a romtoolbox backup of the app which I did while it was working yesterday, but that has the same problem.
So, any ideas? Is there any data area on my sd card that wouldnt have been reset during all these wipes? Should I totally format the internal sd card (making sure to copy the backup onto the external sd) and start from a blank slate?
Or is this caused by something else? other apps seem to work as normal.

It's a bug. Autodesk has acknowledged the problem. How fast they fix it is another matter since they're not known for rolling out updates quickly. Just wait it out.
Or you can try downloading Sketchbook express for tablets (and do not update it!). Then, using file manager, copy (not cut) all your files from Sketchbook pro to the corresponding folders on sketchbook express. You should be able to open your work from Sketchbook pro on Sketchbook express.
The only down side are the missing features on express. But its a temporary fix while we wait for a proper update.

That is such a strange bug... seeing as the app worked fine for a good 12 hours when I first got the update!!
I wonder what could have changed overnight that caused it to become totally broken.

I'm wondering about that myself since it worked fine after the update...then nothing. Made me very upset about this too and so are a bunch of people. Look at the rating on play store. Sketchbook pro is racking up 1 star ratings pretty quickly.

We are all having the same issue. I am sure their email are flooded with feedbacks.
It should be their top task to fix the terrible bugs for now. Haha.

An update is available now. Seems to have fixed the crashing issue with Sketchbook Pro.
That was pretty quick of them.

Iwant to throw my archos 70 out of the window

Hello everyone
I have been a loyal archos user for a year now, first with the a5IT and now the 70 internet tablet. As form factor I love the Archos 70 internet tab but the software is killing me it is so slow, what can I do to make it fast again?

What in particular is slow?
If scrolling home screens is slow, or icons are taking time to show up (or refresh) try a different launcher than the default. Popular ones lately have been Go Launcher, ADW.Launcher, and Zeam.
Are you using the most recent firmware update? (2.0.71 has sped the systems up quite a bit from the older versions)
http://www.archos.com/support/support_tech/updates.html?country=us&lang=en&#firm
Are you using an SD card? (If so try adding a file named .nomedia to the card to reduce the gallery from spending time scanning).
Did you install Google Voice? (If not, you should refrain from it since, it is dragging down a lot of systems).
What speed (in settings) do you have your processor set to run. (The most responsive is the Overdrive setting).
If you want to know how to speed your system up you'll need to tell us what is slow about it.
The overall system is getting really unresponsive and what bugs me the most is when I try to install any app through .apk the device fails on me and freezes. Basically when I try to instal any app it freezez when I try to use an app it freezes most of the time
I am using the latest update with the middle setting for power but overdrive doesn't make a big difference. I am running adw launcher which helped and is really good compared to the stock launcher.
The device freezes a lot and thats not because of me having a lot of apps when I get home I will try reinstalling the update keeping the device on overdrive for a long time and will report back

i would do a reset. it really is not as bad as it sounds.
market will tie your purchases to your account, just power off, hold vol-down and power up. choose reset, and then reset device( i do & storage). make sure firmware is 2.0.71, and install gapps5. then just watch what you install, and uninstall things you don't use.
Yeah, it sounds like you need to do a full reinitialization and then reinstall the newest firmware.
My A70 was literally not usable after I tried to upgrade. It was freezing every minute. After a reinstall, everything works great.
And don't forget to set your CPU to overdrive. Really doesn't affect battery too much, and the speed is noticeable.
I turned off the animated live wallpaper. Made my 101 noticable faster.
Deinstall VoiceSearch
You should deinstall the updates of VoiceSearch ....
thanks guys I did a full reinitiolization (not sure bout spelling) and now it is working better, i chose not to install the market and just use applanet for what i want to download, working good now but we'll see how it ends up after a few days of use.
thanks guys you were really helpfull.
dont know if the contents of your memory were wiped with your full reinitialization but i have noticed that every time i install an app i get the little pop up saying that the device is updating its library. this would explain why it would appear to grind to a halt when you install anything

the contents of my memory card did get wiped and i've noticed the less things in the internal memory the better. this is because archos did not partition the internal memory for the users the should have left maybe 2gb for the system and apps and the rest for us to use like what is on the galaxy s, that is what mae the device not lag.

I had the same issue. I had a photo app syncing online and it downloaded 30,000 thumbnails. That with the screwy "update multimedia library" really brought the 70IT to a halt. It would "sync" for about 1 hour leaving about 75% battery left.
I reinitialized and installed gapps4archos v5 with only the market and gmail (no voice or maps) and it's flying now. I wish I could disable the multimedia library sync permanently.

[Q] Metro apps won't launch

Hi,
I installed the consumer preview on my HP touchsmart tm2t-1100 and all works fine, just that not a single Metro app will launch! I look through many forums, blogs but couldn't find anything to fix my problem. What I checked already:
Resolution is 1280x800, so sufficient
UAC is on default
Graphics card updated to ATI catalyst for win8 consumer preview
tried using both, Live and local user, but neither works
Please help so I can enjoy some of that Metro beauty too..
Try uninstalling all your metro apps and reinstalling them from the Store.
Problem is not even the store app opens :/
Hello!
Same problem for me..
Did you upgraded from Seven too? If yes, it seems to be a known issue... No solution yet except format and do a clean install. But personnally, I can't do that because of my files on this comp, so... If anyone has got an idea...
PS:Installed on Asus K52JC, 1366*768 resolution, UAC set to default, tried with Live profile and without it, no apps from Metro except Settings works.
Registry fix here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com...l/thread/b0e4f9a3-4c96-4e6f-9399-71fc5813853c Make sure you reboot.
it's most likley the graphics card. When i loaded the Intel HD on my asus, the experience went up, but all metro crashed. When i went back to the basic MS provided, experience dropped from 3.4 to 2.2 and all metro apps worked and crashes went away.
@thereverend999
Thank you so much! Worked Perfectly <3 Now I'm looking to delete the watermark on the desktop, and it will be perfect ^^ Thanks again!
Had this same problem, it would just hang at the Logo screen (for the app), then close, multiple times. then I just went to desktop mode, and restarted, then came back and everything worked. Go figure.

Force Close on every app

Every time I try to use the keyboard it force closes the running app.
For example I open gmail, I click on reply and it force closes. (because it automatically wants to pop up the keyboard) same goes for chatting in Trillian and every other app that uses the keyboard.
By default I use Swiftkey X Tablet, I turned that off and it still forced closed, I uninstalled every keyboard (except the default Samsung one) with no luck or whatsoever.
I tried googling but I couldn't find anything related, is there a quick fix or am I bound to flash a new ROM on it?
I am using stock ROM on the GT-P3110 with the android version 4.0.3.
Cheers.
Ditched stock for CM9, everything works again.
I still wonder where the problem was though.
The keyboard closing everything problem happened to me when the clipboard became corrupt. I have a post elsewhere on this board that describes how I fixed it. Search is down or I'd find it and link to it. The basic idea is to nuke the contents of /data/clipboard. You lose your "pinned" clipboard items but you can then get things to quit closing.
I am thinking about going to CM9 but wonder if you lose anything other than the dumb Sammy apps? For example, the IR blaster (which I don't really use anyway) or anything like that.
Update: Ok Google knows all: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1655619
Brilliant, if it happens again I will use that. Still an annoying bug.
Also would you need root to nuke the contents of that directory?
I have the European version of the Tab 2 7" so I don't have an IR blaster, but I suppose you could just extract the .apk (it could be included in the ROM I have no idea.)
Everything feels a lot smoother on CM9 to be honest.
Thanks for your help!
I don't know, but I bet you need root. Then again, the clipboard must be writable so maybe not. I had thought I would not root this device right away but 5 minutes after I booted it, I realized I needed root for Titanium Backup and that was that.
I recall copying a 5k line javascript. Odd bug. Though I suppose going into Recovery mode and then wipe data would also do the trick if you indeed do need root access.

[SOLVED][Q] Pen Window and Scrap Booker don't work; other Pen features do. Rooted

I know they worked when I first got the phone, because I played around with them a bit just to see what they could do. I rooted the phone a few days ago, I think it was Sunday, and then just earlier today I saw a thread about how to add other apps to Pen Window. So I installed BusyBox and Pen Window Manager to do so, added a few apps, restarted. Now when I bring up the Pen menu, clicking on Pen Window makes the usual sound and the menu disappears, but nothing happens. Same with Scrap Booker, but the other 3 work as they should. I don't know whether this is a recent change because I hadn't tried to use either of the two broken apps since just after I got the phone (Oct 10). How do I troubleshoot this? I have XPrivacy installed, I don't know if it's related to that, but the only thing I have restricted is Facebook. I also have App Settings for Xposed installed, but I don't think anything in there is changed that would relate to this issue. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Edit, Solved: Answered my own question. Went through Titanium Backup, where I was pretty heavy handed freezing apps I considered bloat. Unfroze any that might be related, and Pen Window and Scrap Book worked again. So I went through and refroze one-by-one until they stopped working again. "RakeIn 1.0" was the culprit that disabled both, so if you have a similar issue, make sure that is not frozen or deleted.

Are you asking about it in relation to adding more apps to the Pen Window list? That went fine. Busybox installed without issue (well, I had an issue at first because XPrivacy had blocked some permissions from the installer and I didn't realize it, but that was an easy fix), as did the installation of Pen Window Manager. In the future, I hope to be able to have more control over how the Pen Window renders -- maybe with options to have minor cropping of specific apps in order to keep a more ideal aspect ratio, or have the window auto-adjust a bit to give a better aspect ratio. The main issue I have with Pen Window is just that it's too easy to have distortion by drawing the window even a little bit off of the ideal shape, and I'd rather not have to adjust the size manually to get text inside to look nice. But it's a very cool and useful feature still overall.

Straaange things happened this morning

Seeing as though there's no more BajaROM thread, I'll post this is in the general Q&A section. Of course, while I am running BajaROM, I can't be sure that the ROM had anything to do with it.
Something weird definitely happened to my phone last night... at exactly 2:28am, it would seem.
When I woke up this morning, my live background changed to a different static background, my normal keyboard (thumb keyboard) was replaced by the samsung one, my clock widget was frozen at 2:28, the battery level read 87% (after charging all night), and hasn't changed all morning, even after an hour commute of phone calls and media play... tasker had inexplicably turned off... and I'm still finding odd things.
I restarted my phone, and my clock is more current now, but my clock widget and the statusbar clock are a minute apart for a portion of every minute (like they're offset by <60sec) Tasker still didn't turn on like it should have, until I started the app to spark it... as if it was the first time I installed it. (It does the same thing when I restore the app through Titanium Backup on a new ROM install)
I checked to make sure I still have root by starting Titanium Backup... I have root, but titanium backup says it's the free version now... when I normally have the Donate (Pro) version. I had to reinstall it from the Google Play store
I have a few nightly backup/refresh items scheduled in Titanium Backup at 2am and 2:30am... so I wonder if something went wrong.
If anyone has experienced similar issues, leave a comment.
Thanks!

This won't help you understand what's going on but for what it's worth I'm running Baja 16.1 and it's just fine. I don't use any exposed or wanam modules. Think that might be the culprit? That is if you run any..

I do run some (several) xposed mods and wanam/gravity box mods, and have been for quite some time on several devices. A string of bizarre events like that hasn't happened though.
It is strange, though, that I did install XToast just last night. This is an xposed mod that gives you more control over the toast messages received under different circumstances. Could be the culprit... not sure. I think I'll disable it and go back to BurntToast, a mod that does similar stuff.
Maybe switching from one to the other borked something?
Thanks for the input.
I also experienced some weird behaviour. I do suspect Titanium tp cause the problems, but I'm not yet 100% sure...
Not all of my issues are completely the same as yours, but still similar.
First of all, my device is a Galaxy S3 mini, CM11 installed, rooted, XPosed installed with several modules (but no Gravity or Wanam). All partitions are in ext4, external SDcard is in exFAT.
(1) root: During startup, Titanium asks an awful lot of times for boot access. Sometimes it does for 50-100 times. In the end, devices will still be rooted but startup takes a long time.
(2) startup: As mentioned: takes really long. With EVERY reboot, I get the "Android is upgrading..." message for about a minute.
This issue is solved by clearing all .odex-files with Lucky Patcher.
(3) Keyboard. I used Google Keyboard as my standard keyboard, but a while after installing/flashing (10 minutes to an hour) Google Keyboard uninstalls spontaneously (without interaction). This happened with all Keyboard versions I tried, in system and in data. And with or without it checked as primary keyboard in language & input settings. (because of those issues I switch to SwiftKey)
(4) Background: Background (custom wallpaper) disappears after a crash, and instead I get a static generic Android wallpaper. Also, every time I try to set my wallpaper back, device instantly reboots. (soft reboot which crashes and goes into a full reboot)
(5) Clock freeze: I've had those clock freezes a few times, but months ago. I think in my case it was due to some bad code in the ROM, not Titanium.
(6) Root: Even though in SuperSU settings I asked to remember autorisation, and automatically grant access, but after every boot, I had to grant permission to all apps using root access over and over again.
In order to try to solve my problems, I changed a few things.
- Google Now Launcher + XGelSettings instead of Nova Launcher. This didn't solve any of these problems, but I do like GNL more now
- I'm using Titanium Backup 6.1.5.4 stead of latest version, installed as a data app.
- I'm using SuperSU 1.98 instead of latest version, flashed as a system app.
- I'm using an older ROM version (CM M5 instead of CM M9/latest)
Most of my issues are gone now. I didn't check for (3) anymore.

Thank you for the information. I kind of suspect that Titanium Backup had something to do with my problems, as well, since it happened right around the time that a scheduled action was to take place. I think that TB was still in the middle of the previous operation at 2am when it tried to start the next one at 2:30. This has never caused a problem before, but maybe it was at the wrong place at the wrong time, as odd as that may sound.
Your problems seem to be a more constant hassle. Especially the parts about granting SU access several times. I'm leaning toward the fact that your external SD card might interfere a little. External memory is handled a lot differently in kitkat builds, which CM11 is. In newer custom ROMs, there are attempts made to "fix" it... but in your case, maybe it was counter-intuitive.
The issue is that, to paraphrase... Kit-Kat imposes a lot of data access restrictions on external media. So... if you create a file in one app... you can't modify that file in another. That's a bastardization of the whole thing, I'm sure... so look up the particulars from someone more qualified than I. haha
If I were you (and I had a few hours to burn)... I'd back up everything on your external card and your internal memory (a good idea in any case),
clear EVERYTHING and reinstall the latest versions of everything without the external card in your phone. See if you still have issues. If you don't, then the card might be a problem. Then, wipe the card and put it back in your phone, and let your phone reformat it. At that point, copy your backed-up card data to your external card in whatever way is best to keep KitKat from messing it all up again.
Luckily, I don't have issues with my external card, except for the fact that, say, if I want to put a picture of my son as my wallpaper or notification shade background... if I pick a file from the card, it won't load after I restart my phone. For stuff like this... make sure that you put the pic ON YOUR PHONE STORAGE. Consider it like this... you wouldn't have a lot of luck if your PC's desktop background or screensaver ran from the CD drive, as opposed to your hard drive.
@DrPhant0m
I already went to that process of backing up, wiping and so on. Actually, I already did it twice.
The first time, I cleaned my device, installed latest versions of everything, went through the restoring process. But most of my mentioned issues still existed.
The second time, I cleaned my device again, did about exactly what you mentioned, but I restored some older versions of the ROM, SuperSU and Titanium Backup Pro. And right now, my issues are gone!
Actually, I didn't realise there are so many KitKat-related issues with SD. Maybe my pictures indeed are/where stored on a faulty SD. But it's reformatted now, and it works. And I actually don't know if that picture is stored internally or externally, I selected the picture with/by Google Photo. No idea how it handles is
I'm not saying Titanium certainly will be the bad guy, but I'm quite sure it plays it's part in it. Other issues are caused by the custom ROM. In the last few months, developers of that ROM don't give a **** about solving issues, and introduce one new feature after the other, most of them still highly experimental. Maybe that's another problem I can't control at all
I have found that Titanium always deletes my custom wallpaper and replaces it with the Samsung default every time I do a backup. It also changes my keyboard (normally Hacker's Keyboard) back to Samsung keyboard. It started doing this several updates ago.

Every time you do a backup it does this? That's bizarre. Or, do you mean when you restore a backup? I want to say to update to the paid version and see if it fixes it, and if not... request a refund.
What info do you back up when this happens? I could see restoring a backup working against you. For instance, if you restore your keyboard and maybe even some language/input system files... it might default back to the standard keyboard because your confirmation to use a 3rd party keyboard (which could theoretically log all of your keystrokes) is no longer valid.
The background thing is a different story. When Titanium Backup works well... when I restore all of my "MUST HAVE" stuff after a new ROM install... it will restore my live wallpaper, too. There are often times that TB will NOT "work well" and the widgets and wallpaper (among other things) aren't restored properly... not to mention the fact that I can not get my bluetooth pairings and known wifi networks to restore, whether I use snapshot or XML.

Every time you do a backup it does this? That's bizarre.

Yes. It is.

Or, do you mean when you restore a backup? I want to say to update to the paid version and see if it fixes it, and if not... request a refund..

No, I don't mean upon restoration. I mean I take a full backup (user apps + system apps), go off for a cup of coffee, come back, see that it completed OK, exit TI, and then I see that my background is back to the Samsung default and it I open something that needs keyboard, the keyboard is also back to Samsung default. I guess it was never enough of a bother for me to go to the trouble of buying it and then complaining. I figure that for free, I can put up with a minor annoyance.

What info do you back up when this happens? I could see restoring a backup working against you.

I can see where you're thinking, but it happens right after *doing* the backup. I haven't even had the need to do a full restore yet, so I don't know what that would do.

It's very odd, that's for sure.
