[Q] VeganTab 7.1 Programs Force Close - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been unable to get my G Tablet running VeganTab 7.1 to run a fairly wide range of programs. Some examples Logmein Ignite, Roboform, any alternative keyboard. In each case as soon as I start the program it "Force Closes".
Does anyone have any thoughts about how I might be able to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Tom

I'm running the latest Mountain Laurel ROM at the moment but I've used VEGAn Ginger 7.1 in the past with LogMeIn Ignition and different keyboards without any issues. My question to you would be when did this start? Was it always that way since you started using this ROM or did it begin after some time? If it was always like that then I would suggest you do a total wipe and reflash that ROM since I know those programs can and did work for me on VG 7.1. Also are you using the stock kernel that VG 7.1 ships with or did you flash another custom kernel? If you did that may be the culprit especially if you're over-clocking.

It started right after I upgraded from 7.0 to 7.1. The easy route would be to step back to 7.0. I just hate to do that since this version is so much better in so many other ways.
I did use CWM to factory wipe then wiped cache (including dalvik-cache) really flashed rom with no change.
Any other thoughts?

Try these steps.
1. Boot into ClockworkMod, select "mounts and storage" and unmount all mounted partitions. Then, connect the USB cable to the gTab and run these commands using adb. Do not back out from the mounts and storage screen that you're currently on otherwise the /cache partition will get re-mounted again.
Code:
[I]Wipe the cache partition[/I]
C:\> [B]adb shell erase_image cache[/B]
[I]Mount /system read-only to use the newer FS check progs.[/I]
C:\> [B]adb shell mount -r /system
[/B] [I]Force check /sdcard[/I]
C:\> [B]adb shell /system/bin/fsck_msdos -f -y /dev/block/mmcblk3p1[/B]
[I]Force check /data[/I]
C:\> [B]adb shell /system/bin/e2fsck -f -y /dev/block/mmcblk3p2[/B]
[I]Unmount /system[/I]
C:\> [B]adb shell umount /system[/B]
After this you can use the back soft-button to go into the "advanced" menu item and then choose "Wipe Dalvik Cache".
The procedure above will fix any filesystem structure errors (note: not corrupted file data problems!) and wipe unnecessary data (/cache and dalvik-cache stuff) while preserving all your user data.
If certain apps still force close then it might be due to corrupted data files. To clear this problem, try:
a) going into Settings > Applications and then clearing the apps's data and cache
b) un-installing and re-installing the apps, or
c) using Settings > Applications, moving the apps to SD card, then back to the tablet (or vice versa).

Problem pretty much corrected
Thanks to everyone for suggestions. I saw on another thread that someone suggested re-partitioning the SD memory using 2048 / 0. It worked like a champ with the exception of Android mail client. For some reason the email client fails to allow me to add a POP3 email account. I get all the way to the end and it force closes. I ended up downloading an alternate client and it works fine.
Other than that everything is great. G tab is performing great.
Thanks again to everyone who made suggestions.

By repartitioning the SD card you've almost brought the tablet to a factory default state--by additionally wiping cache, you would, in fact, bring the tablet to a freshly installed state--but, you've also lost all your data and settings (unless you've taken a backup). The steps I outlined above was an attempt to fix your problem while preserving almost all of your data.
Anyway, happy to hear that your tablet is working almost normally now. Try wiping cache, dalvik-cache in CWM, and clearing data and cache in Settings > Applications > Manage applications > Email to fix email.

I had the same problem with 7.1. It only affected the Mail client with my pop mail. I ended up pasting in the mail program from 7.0. Worked like a charm. I attached for your convenience

Thanks man….I was disappointed when I tried to connect to our Exchange server; I kept getting force close on the email app. At first I thought it was because our Exchange server forces you to have a password on your account. Then I tried to connect to my Hotmail and same problem. I found your post Thanks once more…
I did try just installing and received a warning this is a system app do I wish to replace? I said yes and it installs just fine. Wow Hotmail works but when connect to Exchange force close….
I did get this to work….but I has to extract all files form the VeganTab 7.1 zip into another folder in the system\app folder overwrite Email.apk with the new file and re-zip contents and re-install VeganTab7.1 with new files.

youtube stopped working

Very suddenly youtube stopped working on my NC, tried to use astro to uninstall but no joy. The app just shutdown when it goes to launch; any info on a fix is appreciated.
This solution was posted by Bimboy in these forums. My youtube tends to go wacky every once in awhile and this fix works every time.
From the Market, download Titanium Backup (Free in the Market)... You may already have it installed, if so, skip this part.
Open up Titanium Backup, it will likely ask for Superuser permissions. Grant it.
If you get a Busybox error, install Busybox from the Market.
Click on the second tab at the top of Titanium, named 'Backup/Restore', and let it populate all of your apps
Scroll to the bottom of the list and tap the YouTube app
You'll get a dialog box. Click on the 'Wipe Data' button
Just close Titanium Backup, and you're done. YouTube will work, now that you cleared your user data.
Thank you for the info, i appreciate you taking the time to spell it out for me.
The other thing that made YouTube stop working for me was that I added my account in the YouTube app, which was the same one I used to register my NC. Apparently this seems to be an issue. I cleared the data and I am back working again, but I am not going to enter My Channel again.
I used mini info to wipe data... just wanted to add that in case anyone wanted an alternative
I have also noticed that I have to do the TB "wipe data" fix every time the phone boots up. This has been annoying with the random reboots that happen with the NC. Hope there is a permanent fix for this soon.
Does anyone know if there is a way to write a script that could execute this upon every boot?

Not sure about a script, but "Tasker" should be able to do that for you (from the Market). I don't have this issue, but that would be a pain to deal with as many times as I reboot my NC during the day for testing.
I poached the "fix" portion of the script here to fix youtube... It seemed to work fine. In short, I did this:
Code:
adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb shell busybox rm /data/data/com.google.android.youtube -r
adb reboot
Hope this helps.

I've asked on a separate thread as well...what if i've deleted youtube. I don't see it in the market which doesn't make much sense that i wouldn't be seeing a general app there.... but how do i dnld it again? Hope i don't have to re root the NC.
i've tried to care about you tube. really.
but i can't.
good luck
you tube is in the market and the .apk is posted here a million times. should be pretty easy to find.
i just wipe the data and start over

[Q][Resolved] VEGAn-Tab 5.1 but no Market whatsoever

Received my gtablet two days ago from the Woot sale. Went to modify it yesterday. First installed ClockworkMod, which was easy. But then I got ahead of myself: I tried installing the VEGAn-TAB 7 GingerEdition experimental release, which left the tablet stuck at the ViewSonic 3-bird screen.
So I partitioned the built-in SD card and backed down to VEGAn-Tab 5.1 Beta, with the suppliment package by Roebeet. That seems to have worked, until after I installed the Google Apps package (gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip). After booting it up, there is no Android Market anywhere. I read quite a bit on the forums here. Every one is talking about fixing Market after it is running. But my situation is different -- Market is not running. Furthermore, I could not find the Google Services Framework process either. Looking into the gapps zip file, I do see GoogleServicesFramework.apk and MarketUpdater.apk in there. I also find them in /system/app on the tablet. So why are they not running?
I have re-run the installation process a few times but nothing has changed. What else can I do? Any pointers are greatly appreciated. Should I try another ROM like TnT Lite?
That's a good question. I installed VEGAn 5.1 a couple days ago, but I don't' remember if it had the Market there... I'm about to reinstall it now and will post in a couple minutes.
However, I did just try the last experimental version of VEGAn and there too was no Market.
[edit]
Sorry, I took so long... I got side-tracked.
Anyways, I just installed VEGAn 5.1 and I have the Market installed. I did not however, install the supplemental package. So, I'm not sure what you did. Where did you download your ROM from? Is it the full version or just the update?
What I just did was:
1. Download VEGAn 5.1 from their site: http://vegantab.gojimi.com/download/gtab.VEGAn.1.00.beta5.1.user.final.zip
2. Then boot up in CWM, repartition the internal sd as 4096/256.
3. Then mount the USB so that you can copy that zip file onto the internal sd.
4. Then unmount the USB, then install that zip from the internal sd
5. Then I mount /data and /system
6. Then I Wipe data/factory reset
7. Then I Wipe cache partition
8. Then I reboot
I just do steps 5-8 because it makes sense to me, but I'm not sure if I'm doing those in the correct order or not.
[edit again]
I just read this:
If you are having issues with the new market telling you you don't have enough space to download then your SD Partitions are incorrect and need fixed** -Boot Clockworkmod, select advanded, then partition SD, 2048 for first option, and 0 for second.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And I am having this problem now, so don't partition it as 4096/256 like I stated above, use 2048/0 instead.
Wow! Thanks for the quick and thorough response. I'm going to go through the whole thing again while writing them down step by step.
1. Booting the gtab into ClockworkMod Recovery >> Advanced >> Partition SD Card;
2. Partition: Ext Size = 2048; Swap Size = 0; (Pour myself a cup of coffee while that's done.)
3. Connecting to PC via USB; On gtab: Main menu >> mounts and storage >> Mount USB storage;
4. On PC, open File Explorer >> G: >> New Folder >> downloads;
5. Copying files to gtab:/downloads (MD5sum):
gtab.VEGAn.1.00.beta5.1.user.final.zip (a01171d77f25444088ecc884c793d105)
gtab.VEGAn.1.00.beta5.11.suppl.zip (7f3920a3ef2dabf264bfc8550d8f6d00)
gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip (29efd1cc5457849b10d4f0dc31f7f04c)
6. On gtab: Unmount (USB storage);
7. Back to Mounts and Storage Menu: Mount /system and /data;
8. Back to main menu >> install zip from sdcard >> choose zip from sdcard >> downloads/ >> gtab.VEGAn.1.00.beta5.1.user.final.zip >> Yes - Install ......
9. In main menu >> wipe data/factory reset >> Yes -- delete all user data >> wipe cache partition >> Yes -- Wipe Cache;
Wipe cache seems unnecessary as wipe data includes "Formatting CACHE".
10. In main menu >> reboot system now.
11. Well, this time I see "Market" in the all apps screen!
12. Back to home >> Settings >> Applications >> Manage applications >> Running: I find Google Services Framework as well!!
I still don't know what I did wrong yesterday: Maybe I shouldn't have installed gtab.VEGAn.1.00.beta5.11.suppl.zip? But I am glad I am over one hurdle.
You don't install the google apps package with Vegan 5.1.
The main apps are already included including Market.

Insufficient Storage - Android Market App Download

Okay... I searched the forums and didn't see a good answer to this question so I thought I'd post it here along with what worked for me.
I flashed over to GeeWiz recently from a rooted, stock Fascinate (and I love the new ROM). When I was re-installing my apps, I started getting an error message in the market saying I had insufficient storage. I tried manually remapping the cache using a terminal emulator with no joy (I may have screwed it up).
I finally got fed up and wiped my Dalvik Cache and voila, it started downloading again. I got about 60-80 MB of apps downloaded and hit the wall again. After rebooting into recovery and wiping it again, it started working again.
Problem: Insufficient Storage Space Available (Android Market)
Possible Solution:
1.) Reboot into Recovery (if you don't have Clockwork installed, flash it, then reboot into it)
2.) Using the volume keys, scroll down to advanced
3.) Press the return/go back soft key to enter the next menu
4.) Scroll down to Wipe Dalvik Cache, choose it
5.) Scroll down to Yes - Wipe Dalvik Cache, choose it
6.) Wait until it's cleared
7.) Press the Menu key to go back until you see Reboot System Now
8.) Reboot - It will take a few minutes for the cache to get rebuilt so be patient
Hopefully, this will help some. If anyone else has any ideas, please post them!

Perhaps you should also wipe regular cache...
Has anyone seen John Connor?
Similar problem on Samsung Vibrant with CM7
Thanks for posting this solution. I just wanted to add on that I'm having a similar problem (Samsung Vibrant Cyanogenmod 7) but it's only when downloading large apps from the market. I can download as many as I want that are a few MB but trying to download one that is around 40MB says I don't have enough space. I've tried wiping Davlik cache and eventually reformatted all partitions and reinstalled ROM clean and still get the same error.
I actually just posted a thread on this and then noticed your solution (even if it didn't work in my case
Might be a different issue, but maybe related. So if anyone has run into similar issues and found solutions I'd appreciate hearing some other solutions too.
I posted a thread on my issue here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18991642#post18991642
but i'll follow both these threads!
That one I think I understand... but, unfortunately the answer is that the Dalvik cache partition (where the market APK's are downloaded to) on many original Samsung devices (i.e. Fascinate) is only about 35 MB in size. Anything larger will get rejected as being too big. Most of the newest devices have a larger download partition.
I've seen a few posts on different forums on remapping the download cache to a different, larger partition... but nothing specific to our devices. I've tried following other posts just to see if it works, but suceeded only in either having no effect or messing it up worse and having to reinstall the ROM (not a big deal, but frustrating).
Until one of the smart people here tells us how to remap **our** cache to a larger partition... I'd do a Google search for the APK of the app you are trying to install. That worked for me to install an app about 40 MB in size.
** edit **
I see that you were able to download the app after deleting everything in the cache folder. I guess your device is lucky enough to have a larger download partition than mine does
Glad to see you got it to work!

-- UPDATE -- (Thanks to grickson here at XDA)
Problem: Insufficient Storage Space Available (Android Market)
Possible Solution: Remap cache folder to your SD card
** WARNING **
I am not responsible if you mess up your device doing the following. It manually remaps your market cache to your SD card to give you extra space. The only caveat is that if you remove your SD card (or while the SD card is unmounted) the market will not work. If you are worried about losing market functionality, DON'T try this. If you mistype (or the world suddenly tips over or some other unforeseen consequence), you can ruin your ability to run the Android Market at all. Please remember, you can repeatedly clear your Dalvik cache as often as needed to continue downloading apps. you can also get most larger APK's if you spend a few minutes browsing for them. You have been warned!
** END WARNING **
1.) Download and install a terminal emulator
2.) Open the terminal emulator and type su
3.) Allow the app to always have root access and exit
4.) Restart the terminal emulator and type su, the prompt should change to a #
5.) Type the following commands:
# cd /data/data/com.android.vending
# rm -R cache
# mkdir /sdcard/cache/
# mkdir /sdcard/cache/marketCache
# ln -s /sdcard/cache/marketCache cache
- What these commands do are (in order): change directory to your cache folder, delete the entire cache folder, create a directory on your SD card named cache, create a subdirectory in that one called marketCache, link the phone's market cache to the newly created folder on your SD card
To reverse this process (hopefully):
1.) Open the terminal emulator and type su
2.) Type the following commands:
# cd /sdcard/cache/
# rm -R marketCache
# mkdir /data/data/com.android.vending/cache
# ln -s /data/data/com.android.vending/cache cache
Alternately, (from what I understand) you can just repartition your device and reinstall your ROM of choice using ODIN and your market should be back to the way it was.
I'd seen that same remapping to sdcard idea as well, I just didn't want to mess with it, figured there had to be a way to get it to work right how it's supposed to, but maybe not.
Clearing /cache worked for me though. On my Vibrant with with CM7 market downloads are cached directly in the /cache folder. there's a dalvik-cache folder in there too. but i just deleted everything out of /cache, then downloaded ok, then rebooted and it recreated dalvik-cache folder and other sub folders in /cache. another work around option for people.

hi, sorry to butt in, but I've been browsing all over trying deleting caches and dalvik caches (which deleted a few of my apps for some reason) and just tried this method but no luck. just wondering if you have any other ideas?
Hello,
Having just encountered the Issue of Insufficient Storage Space Available (Android Market) after loading a recent ROM, it ocurred to me to do just that-Wipe dalvic. I was hoping that would work, rather than having to Odin, etc.
yeah, the remapping cache to sd card, didn't work for me either
I had this problem as well after flashing the stock EH03 Odin package and then flashing SuperClean v3.05 in cwm. I forgot to wipe cache/delvik and had some fc's and got the "Insufficient Storage Space" warning when attempting to download apps from the market.
I booted back into cwm, cleared cache/delvik, went into "mounts and storage" and made sure dbdata was mounted and repaired permissions. Rebooted and all was well!
MOD EDIT: No warez discussion please
Thank you rxwookie :good:, the sd remap worked fine* for me and I did and a wipe dalvik also. On Nexus One ICS BCM-RC4.1U2
*two folders were created with files inside the /sdcard/cache/marketCache after installing a program, but I saw no apk
@gentle_giant: I tried your way but it seems that removes the curent patches and you have to repatch again.

Nice work, but note that the issue is not market-specific.
If you were to try and sideload that same app, you would get the same message -- it is from the device, not from the market.
I know this to be true since I tried it. I regularly backup all apps with ES File Explorer's App Manager (I also do the same with TB and NAND backup). When I came across the error message, I tried sideloading with no luck.
Since I am able to do updates and a rare occassional new download, I wonder if there is something about the specific apps involved.
It also is not the quantity of apps installed. I've read of someone having six apps installed. I have almost one-thousand (my dalvik resides on my Ext4 SD-EXT partition, so it can grow).
There is probably a solution staring us all in the face, but as for me, I seem blind to it.
I guess problem [RESOLVED]

I recently had the same problem on my device htc explorer. I had rooted my device so i used The APP LUCKY PATCHER and selected Options>Troubleshooting. There i found out an option called Insufficient storage available so when i selected it , it had done something and when it was over i could install the app that was causing the trouble!

Ola,
I copy-pasted the lines below. It did fix it for me. And I have been spending many, many hours if not days digging through search results..
My thanks go to GTAFan9999 on AndroidCentral for pointing me in the right direction.
After this some apps that refused to update in the past, updated just fine, I could reinstall Facebook and Whatsapp.
BTW, you will have to google Lucky Patcher, you won't find in on Google Play.

Thanks for that, I'll give that a try if I see it again. It seemed to only be specific ROMs for me at least. I always got it with CM7 and 9, but other ROMs like AOKP and team passion ROMs never gave that error. So it must be something in their coding as well. Maybe CM just hadn't bothered to fix/patch it and AOKP/Passion had, I dunno

If any of you have Titanium Backup installed before, try uninstall it and delete App Manager folder from you sdcard.
It worked for me, no idea about you guys though.
I have xperia neo, and I am probably in "the wrong part of town", however I wanted to share some of my experience. When I was running stock Gingerbread I had no problems at all with this, with CM9.1 I tried the lucky patcher thing and it seemed to have worked. But when using stock ICS after downloading around 10 apps, and the free space going down from 300mb to below 90, the problem is there. Any thought on why GB was ok? I am considering going back to GB.
Seems to be finally fixed
I've been poking about trying to find a solution to my "insufficient space" issue, which as most of you seem to be in agreement is a blatant lie you are being told by your phone.
Anyhow, a reboot to recovery and a cache wipe is certainly now allowing me to update the apps I couldn't previously.
Thanks to the xda community, once again.
Incidentally , I'm running a Galaxy S2 I9100, with CM9 RC1

[SCRIPT][ZIP] Free ~30 Mb on /system partition on Jelly Bean /w Google Now

Attached is an updater script zip to flash via recovery. It does not install anything, but rather only delete files. It will free ~30 Mb on your /system partition, while keeping full functionality!
How it works / What it does?
While I was playing with Google Now, I noticed that there exist some (big) files that are actually not needed. These files are used for a new feature in Jellybean - the offline message dictation. However, since most services connected with Google Now require a network connection anyway, you should be fine with removing this functionality.
Overall, deleting the "offline dictation"-specific files will free 30.53 Mb on your system partition! Without any other offside than the fact that you require a network connection for Google Now Voice input. Again: as long as you are connected to a network, you won't notice any difference - everything will just work as before!
Alternatively to the zip, you can - of course - delete the files manually. Therefor, use:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm -rf /system/usr/srec/config
adb shell rm /system/usr/srec/en-US/acoustic_model
adb shell rm /system/usr/srec/en-US/clg
adb shell rm /system/usr/srec/en-US/g2p_fst
adb shell rm /system/usr/srec/en-US/offensive_word_normalizer
adb shell rm /system/usr/srec/en-US/rescoring_lm
brilliant..
Works excellently, thanks....Ive been racking my brain as to how I can keep Dalvik on internal and still have Google Now. This should do it!
Thanks for that!
It would be good if you could include an option to install GNow with or without the offline dictation on your gapps aroma installer.

Due to some APK updates I will update the installer package anyway - and I will include that option, too.
Does this need to be flashed immediately after a fresh install? I've been using Evervolv's JB for a few days and was hoping I wouldn't have to start fr scratch.
Thanks.

With this option we can use stock hboot partition ?
My rom just shed 30.. System gone from 210 to 180 on paranoid

This can be flashed any time. However, it will only free space if you have installed Google Now in addition to the ROM.

Nope. The JB system itself is still too big for stock hboot.

What do you want to tell us? That it works?
why not just remove /system/usr/srec/en-US/ and leave /system/usr/srec/config then at least you can re-download it which then installs to /data
Tried to move it to sd-ext a creating a link for /system/usr/srec/en-US to /sd-ext/us-EN...
Dunno if it works, but it could 20 megs on system partition is worth trying...
Thanks...

How do I apply it?
Do I flash 260/8/168 hboot, flash rom (final one) then this, and then resize hboot and wipe data?

[SOLVED][Q] Low Storage Space Warning

I had flashed RootBox, the most recent one, and I started getting Low Storage Space warnings after every reboot. I thought reflashing might solve this problem, so I did the following :
1. In recovery, Wipe Data/ Factory reset
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe Dalvik Cache
4. Format /system
5. then Flashed SlimBean 4.2.2 v1 Stable
Now, again I am getting the same problem, I haven't installed many apps though, the list of apps installed are:
1.Chrome
2.Download All Files
3.ES File Explorer
4.Titanium Backup
5.instagram
6.Maps
7.jetAudioPlus
8.MX Player
9.ROM Toolbox
10.Viber
11.WhatsApp
12.YMail
That's All...
I don't know what problem might be.. I have also searched a lot, in XDA as well as Google. but no suitable solution.
Anyone can help me solve this.??

Its viber thats causing your problem look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2117444 under the letter S for storage. I found this answer in 15 seconds under the root box thread. Please look at rom threads for solutions before posting.
Viber Low Storage error when pressing "Hold to Talk"

None of the suggestions in this thread worked for me. Including the alternative thread you suggested.
Although my problem has very similar symptoms - the cause (and therefore the solution) is different.
Symptoms: Viber (version 4.1.1) gave me a "Low Storage Space" message whenever I pressed the "Hold and Talk" button.
My Solution: I discovered that there was a file called "_ptt_id_counter" in folder /data/data/com.viber.voip that had incorrect uid/gid.
The uid/gid were not the same as every other file and folder in this subtree.
I guess that "ptt" means "press to talk". I also guess that the id_counter (4 bytes in size) is probably a long integer and should be able to be
both written and read. The permissions were only 600 on the file. So, I used adb to chown the uid & gid to be the same as the other files/folders.
It then worked.
I am not an Android programmer. However, I have worked with Unix since 1982 and Linux since 1997.
I also tried booting into recovery and running permissions check/fix. But, I guess there isn't a manifest that specifies what the correct file permissions should be? (I haven't got that far in my OO learning).
I think the culprit that (somehow) caused the error was the Backup app I was using. (Ultimate Backup by Jrummy) but, I can't be sure and I don't want to "point the finger".
If someone could please tell me where in an APK one could locate a "spec"/"layout" of what files should have what permissions - it would be helpful. I know that uid/gid doesn't need to be specified generally because each app runs in it's own sandbox and the uid/gid is set to that of the owning pid. But, there must be something somewhere that specifies what the "chmod" permissions are. Isn't there?
If not - then I just have to assume it's a memory corruption and (perhaps) related to the CM11 Nightly that I am using. But, I am a Newbie and I am not permitted to post in that forum (yet).
