So, I have no idea what has happened here, but I seem to have lost my calendar application. Is there any way, other than re-installing the ROM to get that back?
Ok, so, the plot thickens. I went ahead and just reflashed the rom through ClockWork Manager, got everything to boot up just fine, and using Titanium Backup was able to reinstall all my programs/settings. Now a really interesting thing has happened, the phone won't recognize my sim card! When I go into wireless networks and settings, and then into mobile network providers, it prompts me to put a sim card into the phone (of course, there's already one in there).
Any suggestions on this?
My plan for now is to go home, back everything up to my computer, wipe everything through my CWM recovery, and then try to re-flash again.
Also, the keyboard that I use (SlideIt) is having problems force closing every few seconds, which is becoming REALLY annoying.
I would love your input.
ok, so, after a full wipe of the phone, and THEN re-installing Axura 2.3.1.3, I think I'm back to where I want to be. Phone is recognizing my SIM again and I'm in the middle of doing my restoration with TiBU. I'm gonna go through apps first and THEN system information to see if that's what caused my problems before. Might have a corrupted TiBU file somewhere, or a rogue one that's causing these problems for me.
if calander was the only problem in the first place you could have just downloaded 1 from market ??
yeah, I could have, but I really just wanted the stock Google calendar. I'm weird like that

A little background--I'm not a newbie and have been running custom roms on my Fascinate for many months (and my Droid before it), but I'm also not an expert or programmer. OK, with that out of the way, here's the issue. When JT came out with the first version of CM7 I switched to it from the Froyo CommRom. Since CM7 had a lot of issues in the early days, I carefully followed this sticky and returned to CommRom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124391
I've since had a pattern of getting severe force closes, to the point that the phone become non-functional, after several days of everything working fine. This has happened with CommRom, Evil Fascinate, CM7, and currently JT's Vanilla Gingerbread. I've gone back to stock many times, have cleared everything (including data), have run the ext4 formatter, have tried different radios (currently on EC09), and have tried different roms. In each case everything runs wonderfully for 2-4 days, then FC's begin. I use Titanium Backup Pro to restore things, but have been doing so without restoring data, since some say that causes FC's. I've also unchecked the options to have Google back up data, since some say that causes FC's.
I'm out of ideas and am getting tired of clearing data and starting over every few days. I suppose I could restore things to stock and see how that runs, but that might be too painful to survive. Anyone have any other ideas?
You mentioned that you restore apps with Titanium. Do you restore only downloaded apps, or system apps as well? Different ROMS often have different versions of system apps, which can cause problems when restoring.
I'd like to see this topic explored a bit deeper. My girlfriend and I both have Fascinates as well, and each of us sees significant force-close rates...not to the point where the phone doesn't function...but 5-10 per day.
Is this simply a chronic fascinate problem on the newer ROMS (we've used MIUI and Vanilla GB).
Have you tried going 4 days without any restore of any kind?
Try a fresh install from atlas/pit/ed05 and go with that for 4 days... No restores.
Probably not the answer you want, but it sounds like your backups contain corrupt data.

no its not a fascinate problem, its more likely user error... you must be installing apps & data with tibu. when jumping roms, only restore app's only. Also another thing to try is, boot into cwm, wipe cache, dalvik, and fix permissions.
Fwiw I very seldom ever get a FC...
I've been following the same pattern of behavior with the switching of ROMs and backing up with Titanium by restoring data and apps. My Fascinate picked up a number of bad habits along the way: phantom back button and keyboard button pressing, screen waking back up after I shut it off, and some force closes but nothing like some are reporting here.
I recently switched to PWGB which wipes all data. I used Titanium to restore contacts and text messages only and re-downloaded all the apps from the market.
Since the wipe everything has been smooth and error free.

you can use titanium to restore apps, long as you install app only.... do not install app+ data, thats where you run into problems.
I am experiencing this same issue. I first upgraded to CM7 nightlies back around August and that seemed to be the source of the issue. Each time it occurred, I would wipe data and it would disappear for several days or weeks. I then switched to jt's Vanilla GB, and had the same issue. Now I am on CM7.1 and am continuing to have the same problem. Wiping data seems to fix the problem, but it consistently returns after several days.
I did have some success with disabling sync and clearing data for the Contacts Storage and Google Framework applications, which seemed to stop the force-closing temporarily, but they did ultimately return. This only seemed to work for me once.

download disk usage from the market and check to see how full your /datadata folder is. I bet its full. there is a thread on rootzwiki about. you can either delete some apps or jt has a tweak to fix the issue.

I agree with this. Last summer I ran into a series of similar issues (fc and what not) on several roms. What I learned for myself is i never restore ANYTHING. What I do use tho is APP LIST BACKUP which is a very convenient and fast way to download apps fresh from the market. I currently enjoy a fc free phone

Not really a question so much as a rant/discussion/question mix.
To let it be known up front... I use Ti Backup for backup and restore of apps.
But the built in Google Android backup...
Its just so inconsistent... and not from the "not all the apps and data backup" perspective...
But from the "sometimes it never restores and sometimes it does" perspective.
I just flashed a CM10 nightly on my Gnex, after running CM9 for a while. It started restoring all sorts of apps imediatly, some I stopped using months ago. I went into the market to download Ti Backup, and there it was, a huge list of apps being downloaded.
Thing is, I had just done a factory reset and reinstall of CM9 the other day to fix a persistent bug with Gtalk... I got no automatic app restores when I did that. I used Ti Backup as normal.
I have noticed this odd behavior many times... even when using the same ROM or merely an update to that ROM.
Whats everyone else's experience with it? Anyone find some sort of pattern to explain its behavior?
I recently rooted my revo and never really done a lot to it but uninstalled a lot of bloatware that I had found in these forums as being safe to remove. My problem is that the other night I went to download a new runner game and noticed that it wouldn't work, just sound no screen. So I tried to play Temple Run 2 which had worked previously, now it no longer would play. Naught no longer played either, I just then downloaded several of the 100 series games and they won't play as well. Can someone help me and tell me what I may have uninstalled that is causing this to happen and how I can fix it?
Still looking for a possible answer to this question, any running game I try doesn't work, yet it will play Angry Birds or games like where's my water.
I'll be honest: I have no idea what went wrong.
But, some useful debugging ideas, maybe?
1) Happen to have a Nandroid of pre-root/pre-debloat? It might be one of the things you thought was bloatware. Maybe, then, debloat and test after a few?
2) How did you root? Did you install a new ROM (which could be causing issues) or some root injection method like CF-Auto-Root, which is less likely to cause a weird issue like this.
3) Just games? No other apps? Do all of your apps that don't work have a commonality? Like they use OpenFeint or something?

No I never installed a new ROM, I actually used a one click method, it took me days to find one that actually worked. I don't have none of the things you have listed. No other apps appear to be harmed, the only games that are harmed the infinite runner type games and Naught. The runner games load with sound but no video, Naught begins to load and then it just stops. I did do a restore with clockmod. I had set up a back up after I had uninstalled a few basic things such as bing, the games on it and things like that. My girls actually played the games after my first round of uninstalling bloat. I never noticed the problem until I got bloat freezer and began to experiment, I actually froze the sync program and google+ and then I noticed that my contacts was deleted and I lost them all, after I went back thru my numbers and renamed them, only after I unfroze both, did I start checking things and those games where what I found that never worked anymore. Where could I find a debloat program for my revo, it's the v9 one. Was hard enough finding a root program, as I am not very inclined in programing. Wondering tho if I where to do a factory reset it should fix it shouldn't it, but will I lose my root, synced emails and other thing, I know I can move my programs to the SD.
Right. Titanium Backup is a very reputable debloater. Maybe try that instead and maybe others remove things that don't cause issues for them, but for you?
You could try reinstalling the games, too? Using Titanium Backup, you can keep your progress by backing up all the games' data.
A factory reset might work, but your root may remain as it is integrated into the system. The absolute fix is flashing the stock ROM.

Well I have restored everything that I can restore using TB and CWM I lost all the tweaking and custimizing that I had done but still the running games or Naught won't play, tried uninstalling and reinstalling all them more than once.
Was hoping that if I did do a factory reset that I did keep my root, don't want to lost it because I think my gf deleted the file from the desktop that it took me days to find LoL. Does a factory reset back up unistalled programs or do you know, I've never flashed a ROM but I can learn anything. I want my phone rooted and custimized the way I want plus as you may know the revo sucks in the processor, ram and battery life department, but I'm stuck with it for another 8 months cause I'm to tight to buy one that isn't free with my contract or cost less than $100. Wishing I would have just spent 80$ and got me a Motorola Razr Maxx HD like the one I got my gf. Rooted it and have had no problems with it so far:victory:

Shucks, sorry to hear that! Hmm...restored everything = from a Nandroid backup? So, you're now at a Nandroid backup where the games used to work, but they don't? That's odd....what partitions did you back up? I'm curious if you somehow flashed a kernel that OC/OV'd your CPU or GPU and that is causing issues--but, one-click roots shouldn't do anything like that.
Check out this write-up on Android partitions (http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...plained-boot-system-recovery-data-cache-misc/). It'll show that a factory reset wipes data, so it'll uninstall apps, but root is in /system, so you're OK there.

Well on TB I just restored some of the items that I actually did back up. Nothing fancy on those, and with CWM all it said was to restore from SD card saved backup. It's a version where I must boot into CWM and it appears as tho it's in terminal mode. Far as flashing or anything else the only thing that I really did that may have done anything was installed a cpu governer so I could overclock, nothing fancy there either just set it to 1.02 GHz ondemand and that's all. Tried turning it off, setting it to performance and lower cpu speeds and still got the same thing.
So a factory reset will basically just uninstall the programs I have put on it, delete my data that's not on SD but does it reinstall the bloat that I removed that I may have lost hmmmm.
turns ttlinko

Ok I don't know if your still reading on this thread. But I just installed Dead City, it plays great, I also installed a shark evolution game. When it loads up the screen appears scrambled out. Do these games work from flash for some and another type of player for others?
Not sure what is causing this to my Nexus 9 lte on t-mobile. It has been working great then today this message will just not stop popping up.
I've trying going to the apps area and uninstalling play store update, clearing cache but it's tough to do since when you click ok on this message, it immediately pops right back up.
I've tried wiping dalvik and cache in recovery to no avail.
I have even nandroided back to the stock with root I created immediately after I rooted using the wugfresh program.
It boots fine, then I install the programs I need to install and update the apps. All works fine. However, when I reboot, this message comes back again and pops up immediately again once I hit the ok button.
Please help. I figured once 5.1 came out, I would just wipe and flash the 5.1 but the way this is going is pretty much rendering my tablet useless since the message is always popping up.
Please help. Thank you,
Whiteice

Same here. Untouched stock 5.0.1 ROM. WiFi only tablet.
Might be worth mentioning that I got a google app update today before this started happening.
What the **** Google!!!!!!!
Tablet has important work stuff and its unusable now.
Weird. I just had the same thing happen on my MotoX (2013) yesterday, but my N9 is fine.
My MotoX is rooted, so I manually deleted all gapps from /system/app/ and /system/priv-app/ and /data/app/ then reinstalled SlimRoms minimal gapps package. I never did figure out what the exact problem was.
---update---
Rats, I spoke too soon. Got this error again on my MotoX today. Fortunately, it only seems to pop up once a day, so I can live with it for now.
Sent from my Nexus 9
mine is doing this today too. first time I've reboot in a while and it started up after the boot. im on stock with fire ice kernel. musta been a google play service.update that broke something.
I had this happen today: constantly popping up making tablet virtually useless.
tried various things, wipe cache/dalvik, reset all app preferences, and others.
This is what finally worked:
Settings->apps->all->Google play services->manage space->clear all data
This is a rooted WiFi N9 running stock 5.01
Hope this helps!
i cleared data and cache of just about everything and unistalled everything i could (tedious task trying to hit the screen before the anr pop up). i just used this as an excuse to switch from stock to AICP - i'm on wifi only. so no biggie and i got a better more customizable version of lolli. still PIA that it even happened.
This just happened to my N9 wifi this morning. It rebooted on its own (stock but rooted) then the message came up. The problem I had was that the message wouldn't stop so I couldn't access anything in the Settings. I tried the no wipe with Wug's but no change. Trying a wipe mode. What a PITA. Heading to google forums to see what's been reported.
The problem is being reported at google products forums--happening on N5 also. So far, wipe with toolkit (even using the factory reset mode) hasn't done anything. On to checking which recovery I have and do on tab reset.
Happened again this morning!!!
Tablet startup was unusually slow then i was greeted by gapps crashing over and over rendering the tablet unusable.
I'm starting to think this is caused by data corruption. Filesystem or nand problems?
Lollipop is killing lots of nexus 7 devices, I'm worried we might be next!!!

Google play services was updated to 7.3.28, see if that's the version you have. Also try clearing cache for it.
Sent From Capsule Corp.
I followed jetfin's suggestion and cleared all data and it worked!!
A Google search reveals that a lot of people have had this issue for the past couple of months.
It saddens me to see the state that android/Google are in.
Edit: looking at battery usage, I found that the dex2oat utility has been working too hard. I'm guessing the problem is with ART corrupting the play services update. Either a ROM issue or a bad update from Google!!
Works!

this has also been happening to me over the last few days - mine was occuring on galaxy s5 though, had to keep re-installing a backup (lucky I had a recent one). fixed it by wiping google play data.. popups stopped immediately
