Which version of Android are you running? If you're running Android L Preview Port, I suggest you updating it to the latest version as ART was unstable in previous versions. Otherwise, you should try finding an OTA update to your current ROM, backup everything (Titanium Backup or Nandroid backup) and erase /data partition, wipe dalvik cache.

Dalvik Cache Wipe triggers Starting apps dialog box every boot

I have got this issue since I wiped the dalvik cache on Android 4.2.2 to fix a Play Store issue which I should of deleted that dalvik cache file with Titanium Backup or use Lucky Patcher to remove that left over file in /data/app/ but also wiping the cache somehow broke the APN API not allowing me to add the wiped APNs and such.
Since then I had to reflash EVERYTHING using the Nexus Stock Image flasher from Google Developers, since then I had no issues until a recent Android 4.3 update which caused the dalvik cache issue to arise since it wiped the dalvik cache.
I also do not have root because of the update but the su binary and SuperSU is still there so I cannot fix the issues manually.
When I come back on holiday I will root the device to see if I can fix the issue
but if that does not help then I can use the root to backup ALL the user apps, backup ALL the internal SD contents and reflash also rooting it.
Because I paid for the TB licence I can just restore my stuff in a touch of a "button".
I have removed apps which I don't use and the ones which I suspect is causing the issue but that does not help.
It seems that wiping the cache partition now does not break anything.
The dialog box says in the title "Android is upgrading..." and it says below "Starting apps..." and then gets off in a second.
I have seen forums of people having this strange issue but there are no replies.
I am getting back from holiday on the 31/8/13.
I really want this haunting issue to stop so please help so others can fix this issue without going though annoyance caused by this issue.

that android is upgrading dialog box is the dalvik getting rebuilt, it get rebuilt after you wipe it, it is SUPPOSED to happen when you wipe your dalvik. it isnt an issue. if not, you wouldnt have a bootable or usable phone. the real issue here is you using lucky patcher. we all know what it is used for, and is disrespectable to the developers that hang out on xda.

I only use Lucky Patcher for important stuff and not really for what you think so that is NOT the issue what so ever and misleading to this thread and plus, other people use it.
I mean that in EVERY boot it says that it is starting apps, nothing to do with building at all.

Late reply, but Lucky Patcher did this to my phone just now and I don't know what to do, other than reflash. Which sucks because I spent all night modding out my phone and was stupid enough to not to a nandoid backup.
Edit: The first boot it upgraded everything then everything force closed, 2nd boot everything upgraded, but seems to be working fine. Woo. Was scared for a moment.

Well you was LUCKY (pun alert!).
Anyway it seems that the stock rom was always the issue, even reflashing does not fix this issue when you wipe the dalvik cache.
I am on ParanoidAndroid 3.98 at the moment and I am not getting any issues just by wiping the dalvik cache and/or the cache partition.

I have found fix for this error, it is mainly due to odex files which are created by lucky patcher so deleting these files using lucky patcher itself will surely remove this error with 50 percent success rate. Here's the fix; open lucky patcher, there in lower left section you can see Toolbox, click that Toolbox then select 4th last option i.e Remove all odex files.Thats it android will reboot on itself and vola no android is upgrading. .
Check out attached image for help.

[Q] How do I update my rom?

I am running aokp 4.4 kitkat nighly and I wanted to update. When I update without wiping anything on top of my previous rom it works, but my google play is missing. Also , my folders and widgets went away leaving me with only gallery and setting on the main page. Google now was not there either.
How do I update without losing my data?
Do i have to wipe anything before flashing?
Thank you in advance
Gapps are stored in system which is formatted when you update, you have to flash gapps again.
Nightlys are not really for normal use so you shouldn't have any data that you're worried about losing on there.

I would think about trying another rom. You should be able to dirty flash an update for the rom that's already on your phone without losing anything.

Some nightlies can be a daily driver, just have to pick a developer who is well known for their work and not someone who just started learning last night!
Sure, you have to start somewhere, but I think you know what I'm saying.

Nexus 7 ART runtime help

Hello, I recently successfully unlocked the boot loader and rooted my device running stock Android 4.4.2 but I'm having a problem with the Dalvik and ART runtimes. I've read that when you change over from Dalvik to ART it takes about 20 minutes to change everything as ART requires about 10% more space for each app. But my problem is that whenever I click on "Use ART" and my tablet reboots, nothing happens. It turns off and boots up like normal without any changes, so I looked in the options and nothing changed. I'm still using Dalvik. I've tried this process a few times but still it boots up with Dalvik.
I have 3.5GB of space left on my device with about 8GB used so I don't know if that causing it not work or whether because I've rooted my device.
Any help would be appreciated

Are you using Xposed? Can't use ART if you are.
It could be Xposed.. the developer said Xposed relies on Dalvik, and it requires basically an entire rewrite to even test if its work porting to ART.
By the way I've switched from Dalvik to Art and so forth a few times now (I don't have Xposed) and I've had no issues. I prefer ART though.

Using Xposed with Art will most likely end in a bootloop. Art is faster but still a bit in Googles experimental phase.

The latest version of Xposed forces you back to Dalvik if you attempt to enable ART.
Thanks
Thanks for the replies everyone. I am using Exposed. I think I'll just keep using Dalvik for the moment instead of going through the hassle of deleing Xposed

[Q] Installing any app makes the phone to reboot

Hey guys.
Phone is CyanogenMod 11 (Android 4.4) and Paranoid Android (Android 4.4)
What happened:
Phone crashed (screen became full of colors and phone restarted). After reboot everything on the phone was gone - GApps, all my apps, save a few of like a 100. Basically a fresh CM install without GApps.
What I did was flash GApps (correct package). Everything worked fine until I've tried to install an app. Phone immediately rebooted.
I've tried wiping everything, doing factory resets, installing older CM builds, now I've even installed Paranoid Android ROM. Still the same problem persist:
If I try to install any app from Play Store or just from an apk with I file manager - phone immediately reboots. The only way I can now use it is by disabling Play Store so it doesn't start to update something
Has anyone ever encountered this?
Is this the right forum to ask?

Maybe you just need to flash gapps right after the rom. I flashed cm without gapps once and when i booted back into recovery to flash gapps my phone crashed.
Doing them one after the other is the way to go.

Thanks for suggestion, I've tried that several times, didn't help...
I had the opposite after a crash on a nexus 4 over a year ago.. phone would reboot unistalling any app wether by play store or settings/apps.
after trying everything for most of a day, the only thing that fixed it was formatting the data partition.. not wiping, there's a format data option in twrp

I'll try this! But when? Before installing CM and Gapps, after?
Tried various ways, no game

Play Store Access

A bit of a weird one.
Updated to CM12.1 Atares ROM :good: I have been running CM12 ROMS for ages and updated to the 12.1 via the OTG in settings and using Nightlies.
I have only noticed problem yesterday and going back to CM12 just causes more problems, also going back to the previous Nightly doesn't help
I cannot access Google Play Store. 'Check your connection and try again' All WiFi settings are correct etc... even when using mobile data, I still cannot get access.
My GT1905 has disappeared off my devices list on the play store too! I've also noticed that Google+ has disappeared off my phone too, but more interestingly my SUBCARD app has gone too! (not sure if others have gone but I noticed this as I like a subway :yum: ) But... if I go to the playstore on my phone (or PC/tablet etc...) via chrome it says it's installed! I cannot access it via my apps list.
So other than doing a wipe of my phone if there any other suggestions?
Did you perform a full wipe before updating?
You cannot just flash it over an old CM 12 you need a fresh install.

Well I would of done if it hadn't come via the OTA updates, never noticed it went from CM12 to CM12.1 until Monday/Tuesday last week.
Will do a full wipe later on today and see what happens.

Custom rom OTA's are not like official rom OTA's. Doing a wipe is still recommended. Anyway, force stopping google play and clearing app cache and data might help you in this case.
Had similar issues on other roms, even though I wiped before flashing.

I tried clearing all data and cache and also force stopping. WhisperPush kept crashing too.
Wiped the phone and started again, all sorted now with CM12.1 latest nightly build
Cheers for the advice guys.
