[Q] GApps Force Closing on MIUI - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alright guys, I'm in need of some help.
I've been flashing MIUI on my Fascinate for months now and recently I've run into a problem. On RickS' 1.12.9 I'm getting a lot of FCs. About 24-48 hours after flashing and setting up my phone I get a notification at boot that every GApp along with TB, Facebook, Script Manager have "stopped unexpectedly" and need to be force closed. My flash process is as follows:
1) ODIN either DL09 or EH03
2) ODIN CWM4
3) 3 finger boot to CWM and flash RickS 1.12.9
4) Everything is fine up to here
5) TB - Restore missing user apps (just apps, not data)
6) Set up Supercharger script (update9 RC5 test 2), Voltage Control OC/UV, Glitch kernel leakage/screen state
7) Reboot
8) Wait about a day and a couple of reboots later for the force close party to start.
Has anyone run into a similar problem? I've tried a few solutions (i.e. mixing up my flash routine, fix permissions...)
Thanks,
EJ
EDIT: Also, whenever I flash weblexa's builds after step 7 I get stuck in a bootloop. I'm going to try to just flash it and reboot to see if I don't get stuck (which, if I don't probably means that something I'm doing while setting up my apps and such is the cause of the problems).

I have had this same issue, and for months it drove me nuts cause I couldn't figure out the problem.
It didn't happen so much with all google apps, mainly the market, but I did get it on others.
What used to work for the market, set your language in the phone settings. Not market settings, the phone. I set mine to English (United States) and I didn't get a FC on market since.
With other google apps, or other apps in general there are a couple a things you can try.
1. If you changed any permissions, i.e. disabled apps from loading on boot, turn them back on 1 at a time. When I disable Google Talk from loading.. I get FC's.
2. Try a clearing data/cache for the app and re-installing over the app... or clearing data/cache and uninstall... and re-install.
3. Have you changed your screen DPI? Below 190ish causes problems for me, like if I dial a number it FC's.
There is a couple more, I just got out of class and can't think of em for the life of me. I will post when it comes to me.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the quick reply!
1) No permissions were changed.
2) I tried wiping davik/cache. As for the individual apps, the vast majority of the ones that are FCing are system apps; uninstalling isn't exactly an option unless I just remove them from the rom.
3) DPI hasn't been touched.

I would be willing to bet you have alot of apps installed and your datadata folder is full. There is a thread on rootzwiki on how to fix this if uninstalling or moving apps to sd is not an option for you.

[Q] Market Hanging on Downloads after 1.1.0

I've searched all over the web for this and all over XDA and there has been nothing conclusive. Hoping we can find something usable here.
Basically, market hangs on starting downloads and does not progress. I can tie the failure only occurring after I install the V1.1.0_r2 update and ensuring top to bottom I have met all the requirements. I work on about 4 NCs for family members and one of our has gotten V1.1.0_r2 working with Market fully functional. 2 of the NC's fail Market and have not tested the 4th since generally, only Market fails but all other functions on the NC work perfectly.
My system:
- 1.0.1 Auto Nootered
- Gingerbread keyboard
- Sideload hack
- Telephony Hack
Here are the symptoms I have found:
- All worked fine on 1.0.1
- Initial install of 1.1 worked for a bit but crashed on adfree host file update and did not work thereafter
- First notice was on Facebook download
- market.android.com can still push installs
What has not worked:
- Clearing Market data
- Clearing download manager
- Starting and stopping downloads
- ejecting or unmounting SD card
- fixing permissions does not work
I've seen this happen on 2 different Nook Colors but not on a 3rd and my personal SC I've repeated the failure across 3 complete factory wipes and resets with the same end result of a working Market that gets stuck on Download Starting.
Any ideas?
You don't have an Android phone, do you? This happens on every device recently, something with the market, has nothing to do with the Nook.
I disagree. I have a DINC and several nooks and I can force this to happen on the nook where the market works fine until I update to 1.1
I was having the same market download behaviour you describe the first few times I attempted a 1.1 upgrade. The thing that finally did work for me was doing a complete wipe of all data, all cache and complete factory reset, even back to the stock recovery partition. Then walked through the upgrade setting things up by hand and not restoring anything from backup. The market has worked fine for me ever since.
You mentioned doing complete factory wipes and resets, and if they were this kind of thorough wipe-everything back to out-of-the-box state reset and not just a restore from an old backup... then I don't know what to tell you. I assumed there must have been something buried in my data that was somehow causing the problem in 1.1, but maybe I just got lucky that last time.
fwiw, here's what I did in case you spot any differences that might help.
- "Erase and Deregister Device"
- wiped dalvik cache and cache partition from clockwork recovery
- used dd to rewrite boot and system partitions to stock out-of-the-box state (1.0.1 version)
- rebooted and went through B&N "first time" setup process, registered with my B&N account.
- auto-nootered
- rebooted and went through google's "first time" setup process.
- performed the whole youtube -> gmail -> google talk -> market setup dance
- installed clockwork rom manager from the market
- followed the 1.1.0 upgrade process
- rebooted and tested everything (including the market)
- started manually loading books and apps back on, avoiding backups made before the upgrade
I don't know if this is of any help, but it worked for me. And I hope someone figures out where the problem actually is before the next B&N upgrade, because I'd rather not have to do all that again.
I did the same thing as you but I did not wipe the dalvik cache. Weird thing was that I was able to get market to work immediately after the update but it stopped working after a bit. Couldn't tell what triggered it and I was only doing hard installs from market. No backups.
I restored to factory via 1.0.1 image several times to try and isolate the problem. It was not decisive since I do have one nook that competed all updates including an overclock and all functions seem to work perfect including market.
issues and FCs with V1.1.0_r2 update
Keep in mind I am a noob at all of this and am barely able to keep up with you guys, but I had problems with FCs and general instability after using the V1.1.0_r2 update and flashing one of the more "stable" overclocked kernals. In general I didn't like the direction my NC was heading and decided to begin again.
I went back to stock using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945838
and then applied this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922870
and so far everything seems stable.
The people on these forums amaze me with their technical know-how.
Having the EXACT same problem here after doing a wipe and upgrade to auto-nootered 1.1.
After successfully downloading and installing roughly 20 apps, any new downloads now stop at the "Starting Download...." stage. Ive also tried everything short of replacing vending.apk to fix the problem -- nothing has worked. Ill be trying that next... I'll report back after.

After flashing RC1...

Well I flashed RC1 and "market" automatically started installing/updating certain apps including superuser. Well I forgot to update the su binary first and when I tried it would get stuck on the "checking current version" stage so I rebooted my phone and opened superuser again and it worked. Successfully updated binary after su app updated. Right on.. Time to restore my data/apps via Titanium Backup Pro... Done. Okay so I figure all is okay until I go to go somewhere that I need to use my GPS.....Then I noticed navigation is gone....so is maps...YouTube...."Google Play" is the only Google app on my phone... If I try to DL any missing Google apps from Play Store, it just hangs and will not download. Also yes I am 100% positive that I flashed the gapps zip after the update. I've tried out virtually every ROM for this phone multiple times so I have enough experience not to mess something so simple up. Plus, I've flashed CM7 on my X2 like 50 times & have the install instructions memorized and yes I know they slightly changed for RC1...
Anyways...
My question is do I need to do a full wipe and start fresh? (Sbf 2.3.4/Reinstall CM) Can I just flash gapps zip again? If I do will I have to wipe big 3 or nothing at all?....How did this happen lol? Was it because I updated su app then rebooted & updated binary after?? Was it maybe because I tried to restore all apps including gapps via TBPro?? I forgot to uncheck them and just ran the whole batch operation.
I would have posted in DZKs topic but I can't post in android development.
I would just try to go for it and flash the gapps zip again, but I'm not home anymore and won't be again for probably a week at the least. Not comfortable doing it if I get something wrong. No phone for a week is no good!! Lol sorry for the long post any help or general insight is greatly welcomed

Nevermind....Phone started acting real laggy and buggy once I got down to around 20% battery life. I plugged in my phone and rebooted it. All Google apps are back now however they showed up in random order in my app drawer. Instead of being alphabetical like it usually is, it's completely random. XDA is on page 2 and easy tether is on the last page, lol
Edit: just had to re-sort apps by alphabetical order under go launcher app drawer settings. All okay now

Same apps were missing for me after I did a batch install in TB. I looked in Backup/Restore selection, second on top in the main TB screen and found them at the very bottom as uninstalled. I just selected them there and restored app plus data. My wifi is still iffy and I get a lot of process system force close notifications that dont seem to do harm when I click force close or 'wait'. I do get more FC on RC1. I can't remember if you talked about that last half in your thread. Since I'm typing on my phone I don't feel like going back to check so yyyaaaaa
Hmmm. In RC1 I get 2 force closes right off the bat as soon as it boots up. Says Process DPS Manager has crashed. I hit force close and another one pops up. force close that one as well and I'm all set. Don't usually get any more FC's. Only other thing is I can't get Opera browser to work on this ROM. It boots up and says opera then it just closes. No FC or anything. Oh well back to dolphin HD. Rebooting nor clearing apps data will get opera to work for me which I find weird because I was actually using it the day I flashed rc1. Hasn't worked since
Hahaha had to edit....soon as I posted this the XDA app FC'd

Play Store Bugs

Hi everyone, this is my first post and I precise that I have done as many and accurates research for my problem, without answers (on both XDA Forum and Google). So this is my problem:
I have a Samsung Galaxy SII AT&T(obviously) and since a while, I am unable to download any applications from the market properly. This is how it happens:
-When I accept the terms and launch the download, it keeps on "Downloading" without starting properly and is cancelled after several minutes.
-When I accept the terms and launch the download, it keeps on "Downloading" during several minutes before starting.
-And some VERY RARE times the download starts automaticly just after hitting "Accept..."
I also noticed that when I try to download applications from the play store via the mobile network, all works fine but whenever I go back on the WiFi network, I face the same issue. I have also tried to flash different ROMS(JellyBean). My phone is also rooted.
Thank you for your consideration and help if possible.
Did you try to clear data from Google Play and Google Play Services?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
Yes I did. And it seems that it's a problem with all Google's services:
-I can't watch any videos from on YouTube, same problem of infinite loading without starting.
It's not a problem of slow connection as I download ROMs and other stuf without major or significative network speed problem.
By the way, thank you for your care.
Wipe everything and do a fresh install.
This what I do each time by reflashing the same ROM or flashing others one.
-Wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-format system(when asked)
-wipe dalvik cache
-Flash the rom (and latest gapps when necessary)
-Reboot system... set up my phone and restore user apps via Titanium Backup.
Also of course if you change your DPI to a non stock value or use inverted apps packages that can cause the issue. But in assuming you know that already so if that's not the issue i dunno what it could be.
No inverted apps neither non stock dpi since it happens even from MIUI roms to Shostock3 pasing by AOKP and CM ROMs. I'll try with a different WiFi later as I think it's a problem with my WiFi but it was working fine before those 4 weeks.
Edit: Problem solved! Looks like it was an issue from nowhere.. Anyway, Thank you all for your help, it's good to get one's updates back

[Q] Force closing process and apps

I've been getting systematic breakdown of my device whereby processes and apps will suddenly for no reason on their own be forced to stopped unexpectedly. So for example Google Framework, gapps, acore, play store then apps will be unable to start and force close immediately e.g. swype, titanium backup etc etc. Now this has happened on many different ROMs e.g. DSC, Longhorn, PCM7, Mokee and now even on the AOPK CM9. So it isn't down to a particular ROM as they always flash fine and my device runs fine otherwise.
A complete data wipe and re-flashing of a ROM always restores the phone to "normal" but I fear my device is dying. Has this happened to anyone else?
try installing different launcher...
Really? Why should that make a difference? They mostly have different launchers though.
It doesn't.
Does it do this without any of your apps added?

Well it's very hard to say that because it generally progresses in how bad it gets. I've had ROMs working fine for a week or so before they give up the ghost. I'd be inclined to say it maybe a dodgy app but I've had a huge range of different apps because my knowledge and ability with Android has come on since I first started with custom ROMs.
Bump.
After reboots, I lose data of all my apps so they're like they've just been installed, e.g. Whatsapp asking to verify my number etc. Also after a reboot none of my installed apps are in the launcher but in the settings they are listed under their process name (e.g. com.adobe.flashplayer) with a grey SD icon next to them. Multiple reboots and wiping of Dalvik haven't fixed this. So I really don't want to wipe data but looks like I will have to.
Furthermore, an app can be "restored" simply by re-installing it, the device says that I am replacing an already installed application.
This is a huge problem because the pins in the device's port are bent so I have to charge batteries externally.
I'd spend a little bit of time and attempt to straighten out those pins, as it will help. However, while I do believe wiping data at the very least is in order, I'd be more inclined to go with the full factory reset and start over.
Yeah always happen to me too..
Can you try to check via Recovery Mode and see if Cache partition is OK?
Because I always get that error if Cache partition (innersd5) crashed..
and to fix that I must disassemble DS and takeout the internal SD card and mount it to PC..
Then you can format the Cache partition to ext3 (the partition is small size around 230MB)
Hope this help you

Strange App crashes

Hi,
I have some really strange App crashes since a few weeks: Google Photos won't run, an app from my carrier (MeinVodafone) and Google Search. The strangest thing is that Google Search is working...partially. I can not open the app directly, but I can open it via voice (timer etc is working and search also has no problems) and I can open the settings in Google Settings (Play Services). Attached are some catlog logs.
I'm running ParanoidAndroid 5.1 (5.1.1) on an d802. Build is from 1st june.
I'm also running XPosed Framework. I already thougt that WebViewGoogle could be the cause for that, but that would affect more apps and I haven't found any hint on that in the logs.
Any tips what could cause these strange crashes?
UPDATE: I just changed my system language to english (from German) and at least Photos is running without problems...
I have 3 possible solutions..
1. Reinstall apps
2. Wipe /data, /cache from recovery
3. Reinstall the rom or choose another rom.
Third should work but idk if you want that.
I already reinstalled them and I'm already running the second or third update. I'll try it with wiping /cache and /dalvik-cache, /data would delete all apps
Ok please update the thread with news
It looks like I cannot wipe /cache, it says done but shows the old "E: cannot mount storage" and then I stuck on boot animation for over 15 minutes, way longer than normal. Repair it also doesn't help that.
I know I can delete dalvik-cache by deleting the files in /data/dalvik-cache/arm. Is there a way for cache too? That would be the only way to do that
@Artim_96 yes there is a way but I think its pointless. Try flashing stock rom or any other non-lollipop rom and then return to lollipop.
I don't think that's the only possible solution. I'm on PA since January, the bug with Google Search and MeinVodafone is only since a few weeks.
It surely isn't only possible solution but it is recommended.
it is pointless to flash a KK ROM, restore the apps, install an LP ROM and restore the apps again. It just makes no sense to do so.
I never said to restore apps, wipe everything (system,data,cache) and flash rom and gapps.
So you want me to reinstall everything, right? Are you kidding me? And what should I use? A blank system just with Google Apps?
I now got search to work again, the problem was the XPosed Module "Force Immersive mode", the other app is still not working, so I made another log with all modules disabled.
But I found another bug: the location service seems to be not working properly: no app that should be shown is there and Google Fit was not working today. (I never really use it, so I just saw that and because Fit was draining the battery to much I just reinstalled it to test it)
