[Q] process com.android.mms has stopped unexpectedly - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
For the last 4 days or so whenever I flash a new ROM I keep getting this error @ random times, not even when I go to access the stock messaging app, sms stills works perfectly as well
After lots of research I have deleted the message.db, tried to do full wipes, factory resets and then flash Wanamlite Rom and there it comes back, tried other Roms as well same thing
I have a small suspicion it could be related to flashing different Siyah kernel's form 2.1 to 2.2 and now to 2.3
It just kinda seems to disappear after trying loads of things
....really frustrating.....any advice would be appreciated

What did you do after flashing a new rom or after a factory reset, did you restore anything from a previous backup at all?

All I would restore are my apps via Titanium but not system restores.
Don't think its that because I even get it when I restore to a perfectly good nandroid backup via CWM which never gave the issue but now suddenly does, even do full wipes before the restore as well.

simple solution
I also had a same problem.
I copied an old sms from SIM to Phone memory.
Then started the problem.
Then I installed the third party app "go sms pro"
and deleted the same old message from phone memory inbox.
Now the problem has solved and able to access the default indox.

[Q] Kies not recognising after MIUI flash

Hi guys,
I'm fairly new to all of this, ive been reading up on flashing and the different roms, rooting android devices etc... i personally still using a symbian i know lol but its all modded and flashed so im not a complete noob...
My girlfriend got a sgs2 few months back, i flashed Lightening for her, she thought it was great with the speed and UI of it all..
Last night i showed what MIUI looks like and so i flashed it for, her spent a while setting it all up, she loved it with the masses of customisations etc...
Now i KNOW kies is an utter piece of crap ave had a numerous problems with it and her phone before but not like this...
Basically after flashing MIUI the phone would just not connect to Kies at all, the only thing it would do was come up as a removable drive of which i could not access half the time (told me the disk was empty) - the phone would only give me the option to mount/unmount the SD card NOT the usual "transfer data to pc" so i did all the usual troubleshooting tasks: reboot phone and pc, reinstall drivers, reinstall kies to no avail.
the ONLY reason i need to reconnect to kies is to get all her contacts msgs gallery etc back
I cleared all data and caches when flashing as i know you should when flashing a new rom.. ive only flashed lightening v5 and v6.1 but had no problems whatsoever and i was wondering if there is a known problem/solution to this?
apologies for the long post just wanted to give as much info as possible also she DOESNT have an sd card as of yet other wise i would have just used a 3rd part backup manager to backup/restore from SD card...
i did wonder (AFTER restoring back to Lightening rom backup) would it be possible to 'advanced restore' JUST the 'data' from the recovery menu whilst runnning the MIUI rom or would that just be a complete mess?
Thanks for any help you guys have would be greatly appreciated
**EDIT** - Sorry if this is in the wrong section i couldnt find anything related or a suitable thread after searching quite a bit
As far as im aware kies only recognise stock firmware. Also you could still use the third party apps and save it to the internal storage of the phone no need for external sd card, as you dont need to wipe internal storage when flashing new ROM.
Did you make a backup of the lightening ROM? If so restore it and backup contacts/messages using a third party app and re-flash then restore.

Hey Ricey thanks for the reply mate,
Ahh right ok then, i assumed that it would work with all custom roms as it worked fine with Lightening but now i think i know its because lightening is a stock firmware thats been rooted and had some tweaks whereas MIUI is actually custom.
I wasnt aware that it doesnt wipe internal storage when doing a wipe data+cache, until last night when we noticed that all her photos and apks were still on the phone just not apps lol...
I'm assuming that if i use a 3rd party app to backup contacts and msgs etc they WONT be wiped along with all of the other data for the backup app.
1 last question: any recommendations on a backup program from the market? i keep reading about titanium backup but not sure if this performs the task i want it to.
Thanks
**EDIT** sorry forgot to answer your question - yes i did backup the lightening rom and restored it after spending nearly 2 hours trying to find a solution to this problem
Sms backup+ will backup sms to your gmail account, and restore between roms.
Sync contacts to your google account.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
They will still get wiped its just gives you a backup to restore once reflashed. To backup contacts just use the stock contacts app, and export to SD. When re-flashing just import from SD using the same method. As for Messages use sms backup & restore off the market by ritesh sahu. The app is pretty self explanatory.
thanks for your input guys, in the end i just used the MyBackup app from the market and i got it all flashed and working correctly..
Now to get customising

Help! messaging app damaged

Hi to everyone I really need help, I installed the lastest leak in my photon and yesterday I was trying to install the Alien rom, I couldn't make it load so I restored the last rom (the leak), anyway when I was restoring the apps withTitanium Backup I accidentaly restored a messaging app that I have from another phone I think I got an error in the process, the messaging app looks fine but is not sending or receiving anything it's just empty when I try to send a message , is ther any way to restore this app without havinng to pass through the long process of restorng the rom, any help will be apreciated.
I recall restoring the Dialer data SMS/MMS/APN app, app+data mode and it told me that is a system app and I selected restore anyway accidentaly, what I don't remember is if this was a backup from another phone, I think it was.
Nevermind I've restored only the system partition and works fine now

[Q]problem when Ti restoring app on my SII from Dell streak

Dear all,
I've experienced two problems when using Titanium Backup (newest version) restoring app from Dell streak (Froyo) to my new I9100 (UK O2 2.3.5), spent whole afternoon today search around and they seem to be quite unique... :
1, App-only restore works fine. However, if restore the data at the same time, apps always crash. Would this be because of the I9100 has "SD" and "external SD" while Streak only has "SD"?
2, The second problem is a long one and by my own fault. I accidentally "restored" the contacts system app and data from Dell streak to I9100...
This crashed my I9100's google framework, the phone dialer, the contacts, and the Messaging. The dialer and contacts icons simply disappeared from the launcher and the application list. A factory reset would not solve this problem.
Error messages were like "The application Google services Framework(process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly. " and "the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly" etc.
I ROMed the phone firstly with a customer 2.3.4, the dialer etc. back to work. Then I ROMed it again with O2 stock 2.3.3, the dialer etc. icons were back too, BUT couldn't open with same ERR messages. Finally ROMed it with O2 stock 2.3.5, the dialer etc. back to work again.
Have I done this correctly and is there any better solutions? Shall I do a clean up to eliminate any bad residue files or better just leave it for now?
BTW my Kies recognize my O2 Stock ROM now so guess my future upgrade to ICS will be fine?
Many thanks in advance.
Anyone knows the answer to problem #1 with my titanium backup between 2.2 and 2.3.5 systems?
I'm about to add apps back to my I9100 today using Android market online. But would be very delighted if I can restore the data using Ti Backup as well. I have lots of personal data with Apps like Notes, V1golf, whatsapp, etc.
Thanks!
apps designed for froyo will not always work properly with gingerbread as the file structure is different, you may have to reload the data manually so that the sd card formats it correctly.
you should have wiped the cache and daavik cache before flashing, if the porblem persisted, you needed to do a factory reset to get rid of any stray code from flashing a back up that is in a different format.
Many thanks.
I'll manually reload as much data as I can...
The problem is not showing up after the 2.3.5 update. I'll backup my apps + datas every two months from now on, and keep the 2.3.5 O2 stock ROM.
Just in case the problem comes out again when upgrading to ICS... Is it likely to happen again? Or ICS upgrade via Kies will wipe the cache and daavik cache automatically?
It should not happen again as 2.3.5 and up will be compatible with ICs but when flashing it is always best to clean them yourself before flashing.
When ICS comes out read carefully and foloow the developers instructions as it will most like come out as a custom rom before official stock firmware comes out.
Is there any method of doing this cache cleaning during normal operation, which won't affect any personal data etc.?
Well, even this won't do any harm to the existing system, I'll backup everything on SD also copy to my PC before doing anything... Lesson already learned...

Can't send SMS'es from CM7 sms app

I guess this goes beyond the Defy forums...
I have a Motorola Defy with CyanogenMod-7.1.0-11-Defy on and since about 3 days ago I noticed that it doesn't send SMS'es. At first I didn't care, but today I looked more into it.
The message center is the right one. Wiped the Messaging data, restored it from an earlier backup with Titanium Backup. Wiped the cache partition. Nothing! I even freezed some apps that I recently installed (nothing that might have to do with SMS'es).
Strangely, Handcent SMS sends the messages.
I've had a similar problem some time ago (before using CM7), but that time it was because of the CloclworkMod recovery. After I uninstalled that (not the market app) everything went back to normal. This time the recovery is included in CM7....
Any ideas what should I try?
I have the exact same problem. still haven't figured out a fix short of wiping your data and re-flashing your rom.
In the end I've made a back-up with Titanium Backup, wiped, installed ROM (newer version of CM7) and restored the backup.
Everything seems to work now.

[Q] Plethora of ROM issues

So, I had liquid gingerbread 3.2 running on my bolt for the last few months. After I started having issues with almost every app in the market saying "your device isn't compatible with this", I decided to go back to stock, and re flash lgb.
Problems!:
1) on boot, lgb can't connect to any network. Tried flashing a PG05IMG from clockwork recovery, said installation aborted. Link to proper radio?
2) in liquid gingerbread, home key does nothing, and app drawer frequently closes without my input.
3) regarding titanium backup pro, when I backup "all system data and user data," why don't my text messages and new contacts get restored? The most recent messages I'm getting back are from when I backed up my system before first installing lgb. Why? When I try to do all this through My Backup Pro, some messages are restored, but handcent doesn't match numbers with contacts, so it appears that in texts,I have no recognized contacts when in fact they are present in "people" or "contacts."
what's going on? How can I get liquid working again, WITH my contacts, WITH my current texts, and WITH data/network connections?
Anyone else have any of these problems? Wiped cache/Dalvik cache prior to installation, and also did factory erase both through clockwork mod recovery as well as the built in android technique.
Possibly because i selected to recover all system apps and data in titanium backup, but I think nearly all these issues occurred before I restored any of that.
I don't have any problem but I'm on thunderstick...
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Well, this latest install worked ok. Just took me a number of tries. My guess is that I was restoring some system app or another somehow.
I haven't tried thunderstick. Can you put up some screenshots? I haven't found any other rom I really like. I don't care for sense, which it seems most are based on. I love the style of liquid. Love the battery bar on top, love the widget shortcuts in the dropdown menu, love the power conservation, love the customization....
