I have a rooted Acer Iconia A500. Working pretty well. However, starting this morning I am getting an error whenever I click on the content folders, the message is "The application ApinAp (process com.acer.app) has stopped unexpectedly" and I have to force close. I was able to access it yesterday. In manage applications, the cache for this app is empty, and I tried clearing the data twice and rebooting the tablet. I suppose that I can unroot, and do a factory restore, and re install my apps (I did a full Titanium backup, but unfortunately only after this error started), but does anyone have a simpler suggestion to fix this?
Bill
So no one has suggestions? Does anyone least have a copy of a working version of the app so I could uninstall and reinstall it?
Hmmm...okay no replies here, so I restored re-rooted, and Apinap was working again. Then I restored all my user apps from Titanium backup, and it was not working again. So I knew it was an app, not the rooting that caused the problem. So I batch uninstalled all my user apps, and sure enough it was working again. Then I reinstalled the apps one by one, being very conservative about which ones I pulled data from, and checked the Apinap program after every restore. Well now I have just about every app restored, and it is still working. So I am still not quite sure what the problem was....
I have the same issue launching hero of sparta from the games app that came with the iconia. I did buy hero of sparta direct from gameloft.

Just started happening to me, seems that Juice Defender is the culprit, uninstalled and all working again, reinstalled and apinap forece close so Juice defender removed until an update.
sorry guys for interruption , but i can i ask a question? why do u need this "appinapp" app, is it difficult to just launch needed app without it? ive deleted it soon as ive bought a tablet
Same here. the culprit was juice defender. uninstalled and everything went back to normal.
First post here!
I got my Iconia yesterday. I rooted, I installed Titanium and copied the backup folder from my phone. I installed most apps (apart from some phone specific ones) with their data (hoping to keep things like angry birds scores ) and got the same Apinap error. I removed a few apps but still no improvement. And I haven't installed juice defender or something like that.

a) It looks cool and it's a nice option to have
b) If you delete it, you won't be able to update, apparently.
Ditto. Juice Defender did it to me as well! Uninstalled and everything is back to normal. Funny that it decided to take a dump all of a sudden. I've been using JD since I purchased my A500 a couple weeks ago.
I am new to Android, still got my iphone 3GS as a backup. One reason for switching was to be able to watch flash video, the problem I have is because apps and services never seem to close, no matter what I try, video too slow to play with everything else running.
Is it possible to stop services on the Galaxy Note so they don't restart automatically, unless I want them to? I have tried several killer apps, but does not really do it. Why is not possible to only run one app and service at a time or why I want?
Help!!!

There are some apps and services which restart upon closing manually. The only way to have them remain closed is by freezing them or uninstalling them. You have to first root your phone and then install Titanium Backup. In there you will have to either uninstall the apps/services or freeze them. It also works on stock apps which came pre-installed on the phone. Just be careful not to uninstall any apps which are part of the O/S.
you need to root your phone, and rum a root level app manager.
This method worked on my Galaxy Note:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830969
once you rooted, install titanium backup. To back up all you apps. If you are willing to pay, this app will let you freeze apps not to run in the background as well.
Or install gemini apps manager, it allows you to change the autostart, block, and uninstall any apps you want.
Just becareful not to block or uninstall importNt system apps.They are addictive because you feel powerful and in control.
Hi there.
I have a Xperia Play with .042 firmware (stock ROM), and only rooted (locked bootloader).
My phone works well, but sometimes feels a bit laggy. I've noticed in the Running Apps list that a lot of times Google Maps turns on even if I didnt open it, and it causes me a lot of that lag, so I have to close it and then the Xplay works well again.
So, my question is, can I uninstall Google Maps and then reinstall it from the Play Store as a non-system app? This should stop thet the app opens itself on its own...
What problems can cause uninstalling Google Maps?
I don't think making it a non system app will stop it from running in the back. I just uninstalled it altogether

It's just Google spying on you. No need to worry.
If you are not sure just freeze it with titanium backup or system tuner pro or something. Nothing will happen if you uninstall it tho.

Use an app called Autostarts to control which apps start automatically and when. No need to uninstall or freeze anything. Its like msconfig/startup manager for android. Its a root app so it gets the job done properly, meaning it stops apps from starting in the first place, not one of those useless apps which kills them after they start.

Good idea. I've frozen it and for now my Xplay goes perfect.

Hey guys,
After I rooted my S4, I went in Titanium and uninstalled a lot of the bloatware, including ChatOn. Now I'm having issues with the Samsung text-to-speech engine, which I've heard is attributed to the lack of ChatOn. However, I did make a backup of all the apps, but restoring ChatOn didn't fix the problem, and when I start ChatOn, I just get a black screen. And any time I open the text-to-speech options, it just starts giving me "Unfortunately, Samsung text-to-speech engine has stopped." I can't look at the settings, change the language, or anything.
Does anyone know how to properly restore ChatOn, or some other way to circumvent this problem?
You can only download it on play store or samsung apps and just go to titanium backup and "convert to system app" is that I would try. Anyway I don't think deleting chaton may get you this problem, once I always have deleted it.

I'm no developer but I don't think ChatOn is the cause of this because I've deleted it before on my Note 2 and it never gave me any problem like that. Although I was running OS 4.1.2 and S4 is 4.2.2. But I think it is something else you have froze or deleted. I would recommend go through TB and search the apps you have frozen or deleted that has to do with txt to speech like Talkback or something like that & restore them one by one to see if that corrects it. Just a suggestion.
Change your text to speech provider to google and that error goes away.

Thanks for the responses, everyone.
But yeah I guess I got the idea from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41287449 and another thread somewhere.
So, I guess my problem is a bit complicated, and pretty difficult to explain.
1) I already have Google TTS checked, and I don't get the Samsung TTS error unless I (a) open a Samsung app (like S-voice), or (b) open up my TTS settings.
2) I don't really care about S-voice, although when people ask me to show me S-voice, I'd like to have it functional.
3) The only reason I bring this issue up is because I'm trying to enter my TTS settings in order to enable Light Flow or LEDBlinker Accessibility.
4) The reason it's making me enter TTS settings is because for some reason my system language and TTS language don't match up. >_<
It's all very bizarre and roundabout, but I've just gotten a feeling from some threads that uninstalling certain Samsung Apps (like ChatOn) can cause these TTS problems. I don't have any other apps uninstalled with TiBU, although I do have a few ATT apps frozen.
I'm beginning to think Odin'ing back might be my only option, though I'd like to avoid it. :/

I'm with you on this. I wish I could find more help on this problem. I did the exact same thing and had the same results: I backed up and then uninstalled ChatOn and ChatOnV using Titanium Backup. That made S-voice and S-Translator stop working. So I tried re-installing ChatOn and ChatOnV but they would just freeze when opening, so I uninstalled those again and searched for ChatOn in the play store, installed the two apps (ChatOn and ChatOn Video & Voice) and now ChatOn works, again. The problem is, S-Voice and S-Translator do not. I also switched to using Google TTS in the settings, but I really would like to get S-Voice to work again (S-Translator I can live without, but I'd love it if S-Voice worked). I can't figure out how to get that to work correctly short of Odin-ing, which seems like a lot of effort.

After I froze some bloatware, I actually started having problems with the Samsung text-to-speech (FC's repeatedly, very annoying). To fix the issue, I switched away to Google's TTS, and then froze the Samsung TTS to get it to go away. This, in-turn, broke S-Voice. To fix S-Voice, iirc, I ended up converting it to a User App and it began working again. Quite strange.
Try fiddling with these in different orders. Take backups with TiBu first, of course. As a last resort, Odin'ing to stock should fix anything.
EDIT: also, for broken apps (like Chat-On), try clearing the cache and data for each using TiBu (cache option is on page2).
Change text to speech to google it goes away.

I tried clearing the cache like you mentioned, but I didn't try freezing the Samsung TTS. I didn't have Titanium Backup Pro, so I couldn't do that, but I went ahead and made the purchase and froze Samsung TTS and that fixed it (I also changed S Voice to a User App, although I'm not sure if that is what fixed it or freezing the TTS).
At any rate, thanks for the help! S Translator works now, as well. I went ahead and froze several other apps that I don't need (rather than removing) and everything is smoother and less bloated
FIXED!

I did the exact same thing. Deleted some bloat ware (including chat on) and S Voice stopped working correctly. Even though I had a back up on TB I it didn't fix the error message. Finally I just unrooted it (just youtube how to unlock & unbrick galaxy s4). Very simple and straight forward. It took it back to factory firmware, then I just rooted it again. And no I'm obviously not going to delete chat on.
How to convert it to user app?

I used Titanium Backup to do this. I'm not sure if this option is available in the basic version - I purchased Pro a very long time ago. Reply if you need some specific instructions.
I do not know what this is, but google it and it has something to do with a call recorder software I wqs trying to install on my galaxy s4, but I wasnt able to get any of those apps working on my phone I lost hope on that, but every 6 hours or so my phone is saying that is the storage is low, so I go and see why and it's this killermobile thing. I delete it but it comes back again, I dont want to keep deleting that log file, and I dont have any call recorder app installed. Thank You if you can tell me how to get rid of it. The phone is rooted too, but I had the problem before I rooted it

first off, uninstall advanced task killer...
Go in to manage applications and look for the killer mobile app or something possibly related
If you can't find anything there, then download a file manager from google play store and search for it under data/apps
