I havent done much of the root and rom thing in a long time but it was always pretty straight forward. I don't know what is going on. I unlocked the bootloader and installed SU. Attempted to use layers and nothing seemed to work I rebooted my phone and I got an error "NFC has stopped working". I have been able to get into the system but this red theme will not go away. I have wiped davlik and cache and performed a full wipe. I have even installed a new rom and still thisbred theme wont go away. I'm sure it's something I am doing but any help would be appreciated.
If you installed the layers via Layers Manager, just use that to uninstall. Otherwise, you can delete the files from /vendor/overlay.
same thing here
after installing got same error message and unable to uninstall through the manager, cant find the folder layers. It isn't under the vendor folder.
Same problem
Nexus 6P with layers
Tried uninstalling through layers manager, overlays won't go, they keep showing up in uninstall panel. Any help?
Vendor is a separate partition and it's no longer under system partition in nexus 6p and few other recent phones.
Your best bet is to delete overlay folder under vendor partition or flash the vendor.img alone from the factory images.

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.
:good:Hits Thanks If I helped u:good:

I just removed the odex files and worked great. Thank you.
Hey Guys, anyoen have any clues on this?
All I did was swap out my boot animations.
On every boot the "Android is upgrading - Starting apps" popup
Boot time has not changed as my startup manager shows a consistant 34-40sec boot,
I even extracted the original image and reinstalled all the original boot anims.
Uninstalled xposed framework, Wanam,
uninstall titanium,
cleared cache via recovery..
Any ideas? Its annoying.
Thanks!

You're getting that message because its rebuilding your cache on boot.. when you clear it in recovery, that's normal behavior.
Getting it every single boot, now, that sounds like there is a problem.. I would check for something clearing the cache besides you doing it manually (unless you are doing this every time you get that message on boot), worst case scenario flashing the stock odin file in General should clear it up
Did you fix permissions and ownership on the new boot ani? Use Jrummys root browser and check both of those.

Finally figured it out!
What a pita. Reflashed via Odin and started
Installing all my stuff.
The app that caused this out of all the system app mods I have running was the transparent accuweather widget nodded apk. I forgot to Delete the corresponding odex when i installed it. DUH!! all Self inflicted.
All good to go now.
Thanks guys.

Thank you very much. I was having the same problem ever since I installed LG G2 keyboard on my G Pro F240L running G2V5. It was just a 3 second message at start but still bugged me.
I deleted the odex files now for the keyboard and its theme files. Rebooted about 5 times to check. Keyboard still works, startup upgrade message is gone. Didn't have to reflash ROM or clear any cache. Great solution.

Hyperdrive It does that it is normal but does not actually go through the apks.
Ok here is the situation....
I soft-bricked my D802 after simply restarting the phone today (stuck on loading screen). Dunno how it happened but it did. Luckily, I thought, I had a recovery file from TWRP.....restored it....didn't work.
So I said, 'oh well, let's just update it anyway'. So I did a simple factory reset using TWRP, and installed the latest CM12.
Not I can get into the Android System, but all my apps....gone! I am pretty sure I didn't delete the files because when I look into the settings, the harddisk space is still taken up. Also, when the new CM12 initiated it said 98 apps upgrading. So I'm pretty sure the apps are there.
The problem is, all of them are now gone. What's worse, all GAPPS except Gmail are gone too. There is no way to do anything about it even after I reflashed GAPPS.
Desperately needing help.
Factory reset in recovery delete your apps.

Use a file manager and look to see if you have more than one sdcard. This happened to me. The folder is called 0 everything should be in there
So I got a Nexus 6p yesterday, and after messing around I wanted to mess with layers a bit to make certain things more AMOLED friendly like the settings, messenger, etc. So I tried using Dark Material layer only selecting a few of the overlays I wanted. Anyway after applying and a reboot my Settings would FC anytime I tried to access...okay fine, happened on my Nexus 5 also. No big deal I would just restore the backup I made PRIOR to messing with layers at all. After doing a factory reset in TWRP and restoring my backup, settings still FC, and my layers are STILL applied! The messenger one still opens and is fine, but settings FC. In TWRP I did the factory reset wipe and a manual wipe of System, Data, Cache...only thing I didn't wipe is internal storage. What is going on and how can I fix this??
perhaps layers is stored in internal storage?
Layers is stored in the vendor partition. There's a flashable zip for the latest vendors in the PureNexus ROM thread, flash that with TWRP and it'll clear your vendor partition.
PS. This has been asked a few times, a quick search probably would have turned up the answer you needed.

I did search for layers not uninstalling...and I did see the vendor solution however I figured since I was wiping system during my wipes I thought that wasn't the issue(I should have checked the actual folder, my misake). I also even did a full wipe and clean install, and still my settings and layers were installed. I couldn't understand why. After reading your suggestion I finally checked the vendors folder and seen they were still there...I removed them and after a clean install all was right with the world.
However I'm having a problem now with my password not working. I restored my backup I made prior to applying any layers and now my phone is saying my password is incorrect....ahhhh I'm getting so frustrated. Anyway thanks for your help!

The password problem is fixable...within twrp you need to delete the password file. See this thread for details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3245070

Vendor is independent of system now, so wiping system doesn't affect it. There's a sticky thread in the general section detailing the problem with security and backups, very easy to find.

I didn't know about the overlays being stored in vendor at the time so the sticky thread wouldn't have stood out as being helpful [emoji14]
I never messed with layers on my Nexus 5 as I like the stock MM theme, but now on my Nexus 6p with it having an AMOLED screen I wanted something dark for battery savings and such. Also kinda wanted to switch things up being a new phone and all.
If my settings keeps FC when I apply dark material layer, what could be the culprit? Someone mentioned needing to installing busy box since I'm on Cataclysm... Well I have the app installed, but I'm not quite sure how to install it further... There is smart install and the other option. Not even sure what busy box does lol.

Fixing permissions in twrp fixed my FC's when I first installed layers.
Hello XDA community,
I recently purchased the Nothing Phone 1 running on the latest version of Android 13. After rooting my phone using Magisk, I installed several Magisk modules which worked fine initially.
Here's a list of Magisk modules that I installed in chronological order:
Font Manager
NotoCJK
Fullscreen/Immersive Gesture
G-visual (later closed as I didn't see any effect)
Shamiko
DRM disabler
Revanced Youtube
Webview Manager (replaced with ungoogle chromium)
Nexus Media Before installing the 10th module, I took a full backup of my device using Titanium Backup. However, during the backup process, it got stuck while backing up a file named "Media 13-9427200." After several attempts, I had to cancel the backup for this file to complete the backup process.
Pix3lify (failed to unpack boot image and finally used slim mode)
Safetynet fix
After installing the 11th module, I went to bed and installed several applications before sleeping, such as Kiwi, Shizuku, App Ops, Buzzkill, Automate, Vmos, Brevent, and Greenify.
12.Audio Modification Library
13.Ainur Narsil
After installing the 13th module, I noticed that my phone started behaving abnormally, and it would automatically reboot. Every time I start the phone, the interface freezes after two minutes, and it restarts automatically after several seconds. This scared me, so I uninstalled all the Magisk modules and applications installed after the 11th module and disabled the two audio modules, but it didn't seem to work. So, I turned off the phone for a few hours, and it seemed to work fine after that.
When I tried to log in to my Reddit account, I found that I couldn't use "Continue with Google." When I went to the Google section in Settings, I found that I couldn't open it either.
I searched for solutions online and found that the problem might be due to the Webview. I replaced it with Ungoogle chromium and downloaded the latest version of Android Webview from the Play Store and disabled WebView Manager. But nothing worked. I tried updating the Carrier Services and clearing the Google Service's cache, but it didn't work either. (All Google apps can be opened and used normally.)
After updating the WebView, things got worse. I use a third-party launcher called Smart Launcher, and I have many customized app icons. I found that all customized app icons no longer work, only the native icons can open the app.
I am really frustrated and everything seems out of my control. I decided to restore all the data from the backup I made last night using Titanium Backup (in snap mode). Unfortunately, after the restore was complete and I restarted the phone, I found that my phone was bricked. I can see the boot animation and select the launcher, but once I choose the launcher, the screen goes black, and I cannot do anything. I am also unable to enter Safe Mode as it keeps restarting.
At the same time, I used a software control my phone. I can see NOTHING in sdcard.
What can I do? Is there any way to fix my phone and preserve my data? If not, I am willing to wipe all my data. Also, if I restore my phone to factory settings, can I still use the backup data I made with Titanium Backup?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Additionally, please find attached a screenshot of the only interface I can see on my phone after booting up.
Seems you've broken lot of system apks , clearly Nothing Launcher is first . See if you have a intact bootloader and use fastboot commands to flash the launcher but I'm quite sure there many culprits in system .
So maybe short way is to flash entirely system image shown here in one of all threads about phone unbrick
