[APP] SwitchMe secure login manager needs testers please!

[APP] SwitchMe secure login manager needs testers please! - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Hi everyone. Im one of the developers of SwitchMe, and app that allows multiple secure logins into separate installations of android on a single device. The pr is after the break.
I really need a few people to check into some issues people on the original galaxy s have been experiencing. There are some warnings involved:
- testers must perform a full nandroid backup before using the app, it is not our responsibility if you start getting boot loops
- if you report results or bugs, please use the "Write to us" function in the app whenever possible, and always describe the issue in the header of the logs you send
- if you post here, bes sure to include your device type and rom
- if you have apps installed on sd, be sure to mention that as well
--------------------------------------------------------------------
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple installations of Android just as you would on a desktop computer.
The technology behind SwitchMe saves all of your applications and data, protects it and stores it as a file in memory. You can then log out of an
account and log into a fresh installation of Android or another account with its own unique content.
You may create as many profiles as the memory is capable of holding. Some of these may require very little free memory because they contain few apps,
others will be larger as they contain many applications and lots of cache and data.
Why is this functionality useful?
Privacy - the most obvious benefit is that you can securely share one device among multiple users, which gives you privacy and peace of mind.
Testing - if you are a developer, you can use profiles as clean sandboxes to test your applications and their interaction with the system.
Gaming – with multiple installations of Android on a single device, you can now play online MMOs as different characters.
Speed - the games your kids play slow down your tablet, but with SwitchMe you can easily create profiles without games or instant messengers.
Battery life - when the battery is low but there are important emails or documents to edit later, switch to a profile which only contains these essentials.
These of course are only suggestions - there are plenty of other uses for the functionality SwitchMe offers.

The Lite version allows the creation of two profiles, enough to test on.

I tried this out on my xoom and it worked great. I'll give it a go

Let me know how it goes please! We need device-specific feedback!

I have been using this app since it was featured at xda front page and found no issue so far. I am not using it a lot yet but I want to try out with my app development when I start it hardcore. I am on miui.us + siyah kernel.

im using ICScrewD 2.0.1 with thunderbolt init.d scripts.
installed it today and so far its has worked, switched profiles back a forth a few times without any issues. kind of got a bit worried when the spinner stopped while switching profiles, but i just let the phone sit for a bit and it worked fine. i'll keep testing

SwitchMe 1.2 has been rolled out and now includes a lockscreen replacement:
1.2
Added lock screen for logging in and out
More stable Fast switch implementation
Reworked UI colors
Now, its very important that we get some feedback on how this big new feature works, so please read up on it in the help and post your thoughts!

1.2.2 - HOTFIX 2
Reworked widget on qHD+ displays
Fixed widget text on HC and ICS
Fast switch improved on older devices

Getting ready to wipe from SHOStock 1.9.1 and flash to 1.9.2 with the newest Siyah, ICS theme, and init.doh. I'll give this a shot and let you know how it goes.

ok, did some more switching last night after the two updates.
i can swap over to the secondary profile alright, problem is i cant get the wifi to work. i can go into settings and turn on wifi, then the phone will scan for a bit and then turn the wifi off automatically. this does not happen with the main profile.
dont know if its just something with my phone or something due to the app.

Its not the app - wifi settings are individual to every profile.

i tried a few more time. its only when i switch from the primary to secondary profile. i go into settings, turn on wifi. wifi turns on, it scans for a bit, then turns off on its own. i dont know, tried rebooting, wiping cache and dalvik, but that did nothing.
wifi works just fine on my primary profile. its strange, dont know whats causing it.

Try turning on wifi and rebooting...

ok, that did the trick. swapped profiles, then rebooted and the wifi stays on and connects.
then swapped back (which for some reason takes longer to swap to the main profile, probably due to many more apps loaded on it). after i was into the main profile, no all my settings were correct. a reboot and everything was back to normal.
so, what happens for me, swap profile, then reboot to have it the way you want it.
i tried several times and each time was the same. for instance, when i swap back to my main profile, the soft key lights and haptic feedback are turned off. reboot and its back.

Please send some logs via the app after reproducing this issue. Be sure to mention your xda name in the description!

sure thing.

There is a similar issue with volume on the atrix, i think they are related...

Thanks we will look into it monday

I recently installed HellRaised ROM, specifically this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1502426
And after creating a new profile and switch to it, my phone went into the bootloop. I saw this happened once with MIUI when I created a profile then updated kernel/ROM and the simple solution was to wipe cache and dalvik, but that method didn't work. I reflashed my ROM without wipe but still didn't help, as expected. I ended up formatting system and data partitions to recovery my phone to working state.
I don't have any log to share, but just letting you know. It will be interesting to see if anyone using hellraised ROM tries this app and see if they see the same behavior.

[Q] com.google.process.gapps crashes

Hi everyone. It's been two days since the process com.google.process.gapps has started crashing, "stopping unexpectedly" whenever i use the browser on my tab.
Reading the error report, it seems (not 100% sure about that) this is somehow related to the bookmarks sync with Chrome, but i can't find a way to disable this.
Has anyone exprerienced the same issue? Any known solution? Thanks

Go to settings > accounts and sync, click on your account then uncheck everything, then manually sync everything one by one to see what is causing the error.
Then go to manage apps and clear the cache of all the problem apps and re-sync them once you're done. It might take a few tries but it should take care of that error.

I'll try that as soon as possible, thanks!

browser sync was causing this for me

I believe that bookmarks sync no long works with galaxy tab. Google changed something on their end that should have worked fine(it still works on the xoom, transformer, etc.) but since samsung changed a bunch of stuff for no apparent reason, it is now broken. samsung is so stupid sometimes..

So you're basically suggesting that bookmarks sync should stay off to avoid problems like that?

well I don't really know. I never used bookmark sync in the first place. I'm just going by what is said in this article.
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/perlow/br...gle-or-the-oems/17840?tag=mantle_skin;content
It turns out that at some point Google started making some changes to the backend systems that handle Google’s user account data. There’s nothing wrong with them doing this; it happens all the time. In fact, no other Android 3.1 tablets had any issues at all with the changes, and their bookmark sync continued to work without a blip on the radar.
Not Samsung, however... I did some digging around the internet, and it’s become somewhat well-known amongst Android developers that Samsung actually modifies core source code in the Android operating system that handles communicating with Google’s backend data services.

Well, that's a pity. I had just started to think it was a useful tool to keep track of unread web pages between work, home and outside...
Let's hope Samsung somehow fixes that.
PS: disabling bookmarks sync actually stops the process from crashing, I think I've solved (if we could really say so...) the issue. Thanks to all!

Thanks, disabling auto sync for browser has stopped the error. Samsung developers need to fix this - I can't auto sync my gmail

What am I missing here?
Ok be prepared, this post may be rather long winded however I will try my best to prevent that. I have a Tmobile G2x I purchased on launch date. Ive not attempted to Root, change roms, or anything of the sort. (as much as I always wanted to, I always felt that my skills were not good enough to attempt these ideas no matter how easy they may seem. I just did not want to be the cause of screwing up my phone that I paid dearly for)
So I have a friend who claims to be the master (of disaster so it turns out) of rooting androids and such. He stops by my house just to hang out and eventualy convinces me to let him root my phone and install CM7. Within a few minutes the phone was rooted (super1click) and was running CM7 release candidate. (I really dont know what all these things truly are but I drilled him for answers once he jacked up my phone and left me with a half-bricked phone) So he installed Rom manager and convinced me to upgrade to the premium version via marketplace so I did. He was then showing me how easy it was to flash new roms at the touch of a few buttons. He put on some other rom which looked like CM7 but claimed to have extra tweaks. It worked fine. A few minutes later he put on some Faux Rom which gave a boot up screen like my old Nexus One did. (Multicolored X) It seemed to work fine as well. Then he said lets check out the nightly CM7 Rom so he put it on. (however I dont think it ever actually put CM7 back on.-still on Faux?) Thats when things got crazy.
Now I get the com.google.process.gapps force close message all the time. He tried to fix it for 4 hours and finally gave up. Here is what I know he/we tried: After searching the internet for hours we tried everyone elses ideas. Clearing calenders cashes, un syncing, etc. We did about 40 factory resets. We have tried to install my backup (which was from BEFORE he even touched my phone) and upon holding both volume rockers and plugging in USB (no battery installed) and it still does nothing. Windows recognizes device but phone screen stays black. Tried Debug mode while doing this as well. If we hold the volume down button and power the little install bar comes on the screen and it does its thing (whatever that is) and goes right back to the way it was. I keep getting the gapps message all the time. After factory reset I cant even type in my gmail address to start the initial setup of the phone. The force close keeps cutting me off. If I type fast, I can sync the account but I cant use market whatsoever. Tried installing Rom manager to re-flash but just sticks at starting download and gapps pops up again.
My son is starting school tomorrow and he has a medical condition. I NEED this phone to communicate with the school nurse via emails and such. As of now I can only text, call, or surf web all while dodging force closes. If ANYONE out there can please help me get my phone back to normal Id greatly appreciate it. Im sure its something easy but as I said before, Im not good at this thing and thats why I never attempted it myself. Your welcome to submit answers here or PM me your phone # if you want to walk me through it on the phone. (I have a landline phone to talk to you on) Thanks in advance for everyones time and Im sorry this ended up being so long.

Hello,
Based on your post, I would suggest that you search your phone's development forum on XDA for a compatable clockwork recovery mod which will install a custom recovery on your phone. The thread will give you instructions on how to do so and how to enter recovery mode.
You can then enter the 'Backup and Restore' part of the recovery and restore your backup manually without using ROM manager. If this doesn't work, I would suggest that you then download the ROM of your choice and install it from the clockwork recovery. Make sure you clear user data and wipe the cache before you install.

Any fix yet? This is really annoying me as I rely on my bookmarks tremendously.

try this:
Open stock browser and under settings choose clear cache and deletehistory

Template for testing ROMs v1.0

ANDROID ROM TEST v1.0 Evo 3D
**************************************
The purpose of this is to create a cut and dry template to develope, test, and troubleshoot ROMs. This provides the users and developers the ability to test key functions of their phone to verify functionality and stability of functions (small and large) based on an organized series of tests. When I have some time, I will also go through it and add notes to help troubleshoot issues (based on my own experience and other's) so the user can (hopefully) solve a problem on their own and learn along the way. I'll also do the best I can do discuss why a given problem occurs (this is also where the rest of you can provide very useful information as well).
**NOTE********************************
There are more little odd-end tests that I run on the ROMs I install on my phone. But this is a basic breakdown. When a ROM passes all of these tests, I conclude to myself that it is extremely stable and I can rely completely on it to work 100% of the time. I will update this more tomorrow. It's late and I have to work in 4 hours lol. Feel free to distribute this or use it, modify it, add to it, however you feel. Dev's are more than welcome to use this and add to it. As I add more, and all of you add more, I want this to become a very in depth, micro-analysis/test
template for our ROMs. Eventually, and as we develope this more, we can use it as a very accurate check-list to determine complete and total stability of a ROM. I tried to organize it as best I could based on what functions should be tested and in what order (first to last) based on priority and logic. Please give your input.
**********************************************************************************************************
I have attached a .txt file to this post so you can download this write-up, change it, modify it to your liking, add things to it that you think are better... whatever you do with it, if you have something you have added that could benefit everybody else all I ask is to please share the useful information
Let's begin...
ANTENNAS AND PERMISSIONS (ROOT)
-verify 3G and 4G antennas are functional and transmitting data properly. Browse internet on both 3G and 4G. Sync your accounts, verify contacts, access market, and download an application on both 3G and 4G settings.Download app that requires root access. Download cache cleaner NG, and My backup root (if not included in your rom). You will need both of these later to test other functions.
*****note, sometimes general issues occur with apps, and accounts, and you are not able to sync them for unknown reasons. Double check passwords, and if that does not work, boot to recovery and do a factory reset or flash a .zip to format your data. This has worked for me several times when encountering these types of errors. This is sometimes applicable to applications in general but be cautious of what apps/programs you decide to wipe data from.
-verify root access. Open cache cleaner and my backup root. You should be prompted to allow super user permissions. Afterwards, open up super-user application and verify events are being logged, and that apps are indeed being saved as being "allowed" permissions.
*****note that sometimes problems can occur with your system permissions and how your system is mounted. If you are being denied access to root, try powering down the phone, booting to recovery and navigating to and selecting "FIX PERMISSIONS" then boot back up. This usually works for me and most others.
-verify phone can make calls, receive calls, and call voicemail with no issues. To do a basic check of system stability, turn screen off and on manually by hitting the power button while in a phone call.
-Browse around settings, apps, and perform basica multi-tasking functions to ensure phone stability during a call.
-Verify both callers can hear each other.
-Verify volume rocker adjusts in-call volume appropriately.
-Verify speaker phone is operating properly.
-Verify proximity sensors are working in phone call (screen shuts off with an object in front of the sensor [located at the top of the phone near ear speaker])
-Verify GPS and network location antennas are working by enabling them and opening google maps. Verify accurate location and compass direction.
-Verify wifi is working and stable by connecting to a home-based internet connection and browsing the web.
-Verify bluetooth is fucntional and stable by connecting to a bluetooth device.
-Verify "update profile" is functional under settings>system updates **do not update anything else***
-Verify wifi hot spot is functional
SMS, MMS
-verify phone can receive and send text messages and multimedia messages. Send both group and individual messages. Perform these tasks while in a phone call (note that MMS messages will only be allowed from 4G if you are in a phone call as 3G gets disabled).
-Verify MMS function has no issues sending various types of media such as sound clips, recordings, videos, and pictures. Verify camera works properly from the SMS/MMS application.
-Verify keyboard is working properly and accurately. If keyboard seems to be inaccurate, try navigating to settings>langauge and keyboard>touch input>text input and calibrate the keyboard. Also, try disabling vibrate while typing to have a little bit smoother operation if you have quick thumbs
CAMERA
-verify camera has no issues capturing various types of media such as pictures and video recordings.
-Verify the resolution selected for said recordings is the one recorded by navigating to SD card via a file explorer (Root Explorer, ES File Explorer, etc.) and checking properties of recorded media.
-Verify sound is working on selected media where sound is applicable.
-Verify indicated special features of camera (as indicated by your ROM dev) are functioning as they should.
-Verify the 3D function is working properly and that media is appearing in 3D when viewed.
MEDIA
-verify all downloaded/installed media is functioning properly and being utilized by the system properly by moving various apps back and forth from SD card with no errors.
-Verify drivers are being detected by computer (sometimes if errors are found here, you can fix it by simply disconnecting phone and reconnecting or by restarting the computer).
-Verify external storage (SD card) is being detected by the system in settings. Verify phone can properly mount to a computer as storage and charge only.
-Verify pictures can be viewed by gallery application and "x" file explorer with no errors.
-Verify native screenshot function is functional and that such media is viewable via SMS, gallery, and "x" file explorer.
-Verify youtube, FB, and all other media applications (where applicable to you) are allowing media uploads directly from your device.
SOUND
-verify sound is working throughout the device. Check notifications (Gmail, SMS, MMS), media sound, incoming phone calls, and most importantly your alarms. Set multiple alarms for various times throughout the day, with different types of ringones such as a music file, a stock ringtone, and downloaded ringtone.
-Verify volume rocker adjusts volume properly for phone volume and media volume.
-Verify different types of media are playing through speakers and through headphone output. Check MP3's, games, videos, and web-based media such as youtube with this criteria.
-Verify haptic feedback is functional and vibrate mode is also functional.
BASIC ANDROID SYSTEM FUNCTIONALITY
-Verify the following functions are working:
*blinking LED's for notifications
*auto rotation
*auto brightness/manual brightness settings
*long press home button (this should bring up your recently used apps. This function can be performed at any time, on any screen, regardless of what app or task you are performing.)
*long press search button (this should bring up your voice recognition)
*from home screen, tap search button (this should bring up google search. You can search internet or installed applications from this function.)
*camera hard button
HEAVY MULTI-TASKING (these are just some I like to do)
-while in a phone call, open up my backup root and perform a full data backup, and a full applications backup. After initializing backup, connect to 4G and browse around the web. Periodically check status of backup by long pressing the soft home key on your phone and selecting my backup root. When it is
finished, open up root explorer, or another capable file manager, and extract (decomress) a .zip file. I like to use ROM.zips for this as they tax the system pretty hard for resources. After that finishes, send an email with a video attached to it. While all of these are happening, engage in a SMS conversation. Eat it iPhone.
SYSTEM LONGEVITY AND SELF MANAGEMENT
-Run phone for a week without shutting it off or powering it off and with no reboots.
That's it for now. Off to bed. Let's get as much information in here as possible. Tomorrow I will include various problems I have encountered when flashing ROMs, kernels, etc., and how to troubleshoot such issues.
Nighty folks.

well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. lolz

Cool, ill look into this more when i get off work.

good intentions bud but not the root of many probs on the rom front are from users NOT flashing properly and having other stuff mess up the base rom they installed.
I'd put a big note at the very top to tell people when they flash a new rom to do a FULL WIPE DATA and everything else, then flash the rom.
Once this is done restore NOTHING from TB or anything like that as it can sometimes cause problems. THEN just use the phone as normal and put it through the motions to see if everything is good to go.
Too many times people do not do a full wipe and have issues OR they restore something from TB or MyBackupPro, that causes issues.
Also along the lines of battery life i am an avid user of SystemPanelPro in the market. I strongly suggest installing that and turning monitoring on as that will give you the best detail about your battery life and also makes it 100000x easier to see when a rogue app is killing your battery as opposed to it being the rom/kernel itself.

You can add StabilityTest app as way to ensure the phone is stable if OC or UV.

Good ideas...
and yes, it was merely an idea. i have had something similar to this written up for a long time. i use it to test roms.
and i thought about that but figured putting a header at the top is useless because people don't freaking listen. lol
"oooohhh waaahhhh i dont want to wipe my data"... it's just laziness. then those same people come back crying about some rogue issue they have that nobody else has. hahaha

This thread has potential. I like what it could be developed into.

Yes that's kinda the idea I had in mind. I will work on it more tonight. If we can develope it into something extremely thorough we could sticky this and have a very solid platform for testing troubleshooting/roms
bastardized rom. it's fast. get some.

Not dissing your idea our intentions in any way, but I think that most of what you posted is just basic use of the phone that everyone already does anyway... maybe even on a daily basis . Well, except for doing a backup, browsing the internet, and sending a text while in a phone call. I also agree with starting the thread by saying that you should do a fill wipe (cache, dalvik, and factory reset) before flashing ANY rom even if it is a update/newer version of the current rom you are using. Also, all of these tests should be done before syncing or restoring ANY thing (except for the tests that are actually testing the sync and restore functions obviously). As stated before, most issues do come from the user either not wiping correctly or from restoring something they shouldn't be. Plus, thanks to our amazing devs, just about every rom in this section is pretty solid except for the AOSP betas...

working on this now, due to a few people i have seen post about their alarms not working in the morning.
stanglife, i understand your point, however, sometimes it is hard to remember to test EVERYthing vital as a user. my goal here is to prevent people from having the "oops this doesn't work, now i am late to work" scenario happen to them.
i strongly feel that once this is fine tuned and dialed in for every key function of the phone, it should be stickied in the development section so it is more accessible to people just passing through. dev's work hard, but sometimes one user will experience a glitch that NOBODY else has, just a fluke... and performing tests like this will help people get a solid idea of how reliable THEIR phone is before they decide to use it.

[App] SwitchMe needs some Prime testers

You had me all the way up to "testers must perform a full nandroid backup before using the app, it is not our responsibility if you start getting boot loops". That's when you lost me.

Hi,
I'm using the app for some days. First version works fine but I was not able to generate a cloned profile, the new profile was always empty. Next version was able to generate cloned profiles, but after installation of the update I was stucked in my second profile because the switch button don't work any longer. Todays update fixed these error.
I have a Prime 32 GB with dock, ICS 4.0.3 and I love this app. Now I can share my tablet with my wive without having trouble with emails and highscores.

Sorry guys, i spent my cash on a 7.7 instead so there isnt a Prime in the office yet and i wasnt aware that you had no fully working recovery.
In any case, Titanium and the stock recovery should be just fine in terms of fixing the device if you have any issues!

No issues here for 3 days.
I get the pro version

Let me know if you have any issues please!

Just finished my backup with titanium, I just hope you are right with the stock recovery in case of problem! I will post comment soon!

Recovery is recovery. This app will not affect it...

Good news
I just bought the app, because this is a feature requested in android since a long time and I think this is a really good start and I want you to still improve the app! Like switching without reboot or have a lockscreen with the possibility to switch profile
It's just bad that the average people can't use it because it require root, but I understand you have to follow Android limitation... Anyway, you did a good job!
Here's my test so far:
Clone current profile => Woking ( takes a while but I had a lot of apps )
Create new profile => Working
Fast Switching => Working
Problems or questions:
- Bubbleator "live wallpaper" seems to crash after a "profile switch" but to be honest it can crash by itself easy... lol
- Is it normal I can Access pictures/video folders of other profile ? ( if it is, that could be great to have an option to "lock" a folder so only the "owner" will be able to access the files )
- The "Asus" apps installed by default like SuperNote or mylibrary (ebook reader) seems to have access to notes or books stored in other profile ( again maybe this is normal )
I don't understand how the space usage is displayed..In one of my new blank profile there's 53.29mb available for apps same for data and same for Dalvik and it's filled at 84%. In another new blank account it's 246.54mb available for every categories.. So why the space allocated to each profile is different and when/how this is determined ? Is it fixed ?
That's pretty it, thanks for this good work! And thanks in advance for your answer!
Is there anything else to test ?

Problems with games
Hello,
I haven't try games in my previous test. After few profile switchover I can't play all fullscreen games.
I got problems with:
Tinytower (not tablet optimised), Zen pinball, Shine runner, they all crash at sometimes during the loading, 2-3 seconds after the program start or during game play. I can't say if it's the game itself having problem, but I can tell you tinytower as never crashed on my device before and I have played Zen pinball 2-3 times and it was ok.
Example of game that still work: mx moto, Angry Birds, Tank Riders, Air Attack HD, SiegeCraft THD. So far I haven't got any problems with normal apps other than games...
Most of the games seems to run ok... I don't understand why few of them are crashing.
Does SwitchMe will use more "ram" for other profile or it just don't have a footprint at all once you switch and "reboot" ?

Fullscreen games? Maybe you have them on the SD in some broken ways? For me every game works just fine.
Galaxy Tab 8.9, KANG

Yeah forget about the fullscreen.. lol it's just my bad english. I tried to reboot the device and the games worked again. It appear to happend when I do several consecutive profile switch. I will try to reproduce tonight and let you know if this happen again. The games wasn't on the sd because I have no "external storage" on my tablet.

I have been using the paid SwitchMe for a week or so now and have 3 profiles. One for my wife and me along with a "guest" account, so far its been great, I would, however, like to have an icon or section that would show the memory taken per user. That would be killer for me to see it visually at a glance like that.
My one question with the app as is I get toast notifications granting the app superuser access from time to time long after booting. It's the only app I have that does that. Not a problem at all, just curious about it.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium

Works great here
Hello,
Succesfully rooted and created 3 profiles with switchme.
Everything works smoothly, from clone to fresh profile.
Fast switching works great, no problem so far...
One question though: I though there was a widget to switch profile... I need to go to the app (through notification's bar shortcut) to switch profile. Anything like that planned?

[Q] Long delay in dialed calls

I've been struggling with a problem with my Samsung Fascinate for several months now.
I've tried a number of ROMs, kernels and even going back to stock without any success.
My problem is a severe delay when placing a call. Whether I select a call from my contacts, my favorites or manually dial a call, there is a delay before the call goes through.
Sometimes it's 30 seconds, sometimes 1-2 minutes.
Anyone else out there have this problem or have any suggestions.
As noted above, I've tried a variety of ROM's and kernels. Currently running TSM with KGB kernel.
Often times, the problem appears to diminish after installing a new ROM but after a couple of weeks, it returns.
I've uninstalled alternate dialers that I've tried but still am perplexed...
Help !

Exactly when does the delay happen? Is it when you hit enter on the dial-pad but before it goes to the call screen, or is it after it goes to the call screen but before you hear a dial tone?

After I hit enter....the call screen doesn't appear for some time

Did you try upgrading your radio/modem? Instructions in Droidstyle's guide.

I've upgraded to EHO3 some time ago....is their a newer radio modem to try?
thanks

You should download logcat app from the market. Run the app, then press home, attempt to dial like normal. Call voicemail or something. Then pause the log and read through to see what its doing or saying during this long delay.

There is not a newer one per se, but people have created better ones on their own.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I've attached a file that contains device information and a logcat file.
Appreciate any insight you or others can offer.

You have a lot of low memory conditions. That probably doesn't help.
You notice the log repeats a lot of stuff making request, crashing activities, then low memory and it repeats.
Do you have some type of audio manager? Or audio policy manager?
I would suggest uninstall unnecessary apps to help isolate the problem.
Group on and awesome player make your phone do a lot of work from looking at this log alone. And yahoo mail. Those might not be direct causes but it looks like your phone is processing constantly and dumping apps to get memory back.

I noticed the "Awesome Media Player" entries and was puzzled a bit...I don't use the phone for music and don't see that program listed in my applications or with Titanium Backup. Do you know which program uses AMP, perhaps as a service
I've frozen a number of apps that appear to refer to music or media.
Is there a program you can suggest that shows which apps are most active on my phone...perhaps there are other hidden apps that are using more memory than they are worth

Any you would suggest?

A good indicator could be to look at your battery stats and see what's causing drain. There are probably other tech apps that can tell you. It's also possible you have spyware. Get ome of the spyware/antivirus apps from the market and do a scan. If nothing turns up remove groupon or freeze it. Do you facebook? There was a lot of entries for that. If you do, adjust settings if possible for the frequency of checking for updates.
I use a terminal emulator and run the top command for the top processes running on the phone. That can help.
Also, even though you froze an app there could be an old cached process still. Go to apps in settings and see the cached processes and stop them.
What rom are you currently on? There are memory settings to set the minimum ram free. I use 100mb on the aokp rom.
Task killers aren't recommended for ics but as a test you could use one, run it, hen try to dial your call. If it works better then apps may be the problem. If it doesn't then you may need to do a clean wipe/data factory reset/wipe cache.

Same problem here
" I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM""""
especially the second call right after i finish a call.
sometimes it's actually funny, i dial and i wait for the phone to make the call, i get a call, and after i finish it, THEN my phone makes the call i wanted.
it happens even right after i fully format my phone or reset.

[Q] Experiencing very specific force closes.... possible causes/solutions? Any ideas?

I have been experiencing a series of force closes. I am posting this to see if anyone else has experienced this, and whether anyone can suggest a fix. I'm pretty sure it was something I did, but I'm not sure what. I'm hoping that this can maybe narrow it down.
Device: SM-N900P
Firmware: OC5, stock, rooted, with several tweaks and modifications(detailed below).
The problem: I am getting several force closes. They only occur when I am trying to open certain settings. So, they aren't just popping up at random. They are slightly troubling, but not really problematic. Which is to say, aside from the actual force closes themselves, I don't really seem to be experiencing any major problems. Here are the FC's I am experiencing:
-Menu> Settings> General> Battery: This one results in a "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" dialog box, and an immediate return to my home screen. So, I can't check out my battery usage. I'm not seeing any crazy battery drain. By opening Root Explorer and navigating to data> system> batterystats.bin, and deleting batterystats.bin, the problem is kind of fixed- I can open battery from the settings menu after that. But there is only battery level and state displayed, no usage information(just a message saying it is not available).
-Menu> Settings> General> Developer options> Process Stats: Results in the same dialog box, and the background turns black if I don't press "OK". I'm not even sure what this does, but after my Battery started force closing, I started checking the rest of the settings out.
-Menu> Settings> Connections> Data usage: Dialog box, immediate return to home screen.
The probable cause: hard to say, I've done a few things to it. Like I said, I was hoping that someone would be able to figure out what I've done from the following information about what I have done so far. So, here goes.
I was on NK4, running Priest Punch ROM. I reverted to stock and took the OTA about a week or so ago. I immediately rooted and installed TWRP using the method in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/how-to-root-note-3-lollipop-t3089382 .
After rooting, I didn't see a whole lot of OC5 development, so I started poking around to see what kinds of mods I could use. First thing I wanted to do was remove bloat. I started off using Root Explorer, then I happened upon this thread featuring a bloatware removal tool for the T-Mobile variant: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-tmobile/development/tool-utility-sgn3-sm-n900x-bloat-t2813036 . It worked. I removed a bunch of apps, but nothing I wasn't sure I could safely remove(I had to check Google a few times). I did not notice any problems at this time.
Then I installed this mod to pump sound out of both speakers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/development/mod-sm-n900p-surround-sound-t2966042 . I did not notice any problems at this time.
Next, I decided I wanted more fonts, so uninstalled the preloaded fonts and pushed the apk from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2752379 . Again, no problems.
I decided that a working hotspot would be nice, so I used the method in this thread to get one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/general/lollipop-hotspot-root-flashing-t3048163 . I tested it and it worked. No problems.
I really wanted to silence my shutter sound, and I happened upon this Galaxy S4 thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261789 . It worked, and there were no issues. This was my first exposure to csc codes. I found a similar thread for the s6( http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/quick-guide-enabling-hidden-features-t3087506 ), and followed the instructions. I was able to enable the camera during calls and enable call recording. No problems here. I tried a keyboard mod from the same thread, which had no effect at all(good or bad), so I reverted the code for that one back.
This is when I think I started to go off the rails a bit. I saw a thread for the Polish variant of the Note 3, N9005. http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...camera-mod-note-3-n9005-lollipop-5-0-t3067827 -it had a neat sounding mod designed to improve camera quality, remove recording time and snapshot restrictions, and make 60fps HD the default camcorder mode. It took a little trial and error to get it installed, but I was making backups of files I was messing with, and was able to quickly and easily reverse any missteps. Again, the mod works fine, and I have noticed no issues. So, I started looking at the dev's other work. Which led me to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/themes-apps/secsettings-mod-17-swipe-charging-t3046032 . I wanted some different unlock effects, and I wasn't really finding them, so I tried his mod out. It was a 3 step process: replace a SecSettings app, copy paste some .ogg files, and finally, copy paste a SustemUI .apk. The first two steps went fine, but the third resulted in a persisitent, repetitive dialog box. I forget what this dialog box said, but it popped up almost as soon as I could press "OK", and I had to restore the backup of SystemUI to make it usable again. Oddly enough, about half of the new unlock animations still worked fine, and I wasn't seeing any problems after that, so I left everything else there. I liked the unlock animations, and they didn't seem to be causing any problems after I restored the original systemUi .apk.
Let's see, what else might be relevant? I was using the built-in task killer quite a bit. I'm also using SetCPU. I have 2 profiles: Screen on, 1728 MHz max, 300 MHz min, governor ondemand. And Screen off, 1036 MHz max, 300 MHz min, governor interactive. And I have installed the Material Power Menu from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-materialpowermenu-reveal-animations-t3059169 .
I started to notice the battery FC last bight. So, I wiped the battery stats as outlined above. Noticed it again today, wiped stats again, and kept checking it. After about an hour, it was force closing again. That's when I started poking around and found the others.
I dunno if anything can be done about this, or if anyone might know what's wrong. And, like I said, Aside from these FC's I'm not experiencing any real problems. I'm a little worried that they may get worse, or turn into something more serious, but I can always restore a backup if that happens. But if there is some kind of fix for these issues, I would use it. Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read this wall of text, and tale of irresponsible phonery.

These are all settings that monitor usage.... should that tell me anything? I have tried wiping cache and dalvik, but that only seems to fix battery usage and data usage very temporarily(like, for a minute or less). And it doesn't seem to have effect on Process Stats.

My thoughts:
Seeing as you have flashed a lot of mods, it could be anything. If it were me, I'd start the rom from scratch. Then for the first step, instead of removing apps, I'd freeze them with titanium backup and give that a day or two to check the stability.
If that works, I'd continue with the mods one by one, giving a day or so for stability checks.
If you'd rather not do all that, you could use a logcat to find the origin of the problems.

I'd probably try the logcat first. One, because I hate doing stuff over, and two, Ive neber done it before and it should be a learning experience. Is it complicated? I'm assuming there is a thread here on xda about it...

It's fairly straight forward. I did one to see why an app wasn't loading, didn't need instructions. But that was a fairly simple check, yours sounds more complicated. I'd do a bit of reading on it.

Will do. Thanks for your help!

Okay well I decided to re flash OC5 and start from scratch.
I took it back to stock and re rooted. Am now debloating....no isssues yet.

I have flashed everything except the Polish camera mod and the wallpapers. Having zero issues of any kind. I know it can take difficulties some time to manifest themselves, but I'm betting it is either the lock screen animations or the camera mod. Leaning towards the lock screen animations because it involves messing with system.ui...

Okay, made a new backup and flashed the camera mod. No issues. After every mod, I have been going back and checking for issues. This is all stil pretty new, but if everything is still fine after a couple of days, well, I will be convinced that it was the lock rings. Not surprising obviously that flashing stuff meant for foreign variants can wreck your sh*t, lol.
