Today my GSII (CM 7.2) froze up and rebooted, which has happened several times before without any problem. Except this time when it came back up, instead of taking me to the lock screen it went straight to the home screen and showed me force close messages for practically every app I own.
ex:
com.android.phone
com.android.deskclock
com.android.email
com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
com.google.process.gapps
com.android.vending
com.google.android.youtube
com.google.android.gm
com.swype.android.inputmethod
android.process.acore
android.process.media
-those were just the ones I could see before more started popping up
Once I am able to dismiss all of them the screen goes black except for the status bar and then the screen turns off complete with the CRT transition.
It seems like all of the force closes are related to apps that create a background process when the device boots.
My problem is that i can't get the reboot menu to come up so I can't get it to boot into recovery anymore; I was able once and cleared the cache, devalik cache and battery stats but none of that helped at all, It just made the boot a little longer.
Any help would be appreciated greatly.
Hold power button + volume up + volume down at the same time - after the initial boot splash screen flashes twice it will boot you into recovery mode, just hold all three buttons down until recovery comes up.

After you do that, try a factory reset, or data wipe. That should fix the issue...

This just happened to me as well. It was working fine 6 hours before and after I woke up everything force closes even after cache/dalvik wipe and reflash of the ROM and GApps. Although I hadn't tried the factory wipe before I screwed it up even more.
Anyone know what causes these mass force closures? Can it be prevented?

Problem: My Nook Tablet has become unresponsive. It boots up and shows the screen where I should be able to enter my password. However, the touchscreen does not respond. The N button and power buttons also do not respond. To reset, I have to hold both the power button and N button. I believe that the device is still running because when I plug in my charger, the notification comes up declaring how much battery is remaining.
How it happened: I was using Dolphin HD browser to set an image as my wallpaper. It sat there setting my wallpaper for a long time, until I got a message saying that Go Launcher EX was not responding. It asked if I wanted to wait of force close, and I chose to force close. After this, my NT reset.
Additional Info: Rooted using Indirect's method, no debloating done. Using Go Launcher EX.
Any ideas? Is a factory reset necessary to recover from this?

its probably your best bet to factory reset (8 failed boots). since the touch screen is not responding ur NT is kinda useless...

Have you tried taking out your SD card? I had something similar happen and I popped out the SD card and it solved my issue.
I tried that, but it didn't seem to make any difference.
So, I've done a factory reset. But I cannot access the browser! When I rooted, I chose the option that makes pressing the 'N' go directly to the home screen. That is still the case.
I installed Indirect's method to gain root access and now the N button on my tablet won't work. I tried to post on the development board but since this is my first post it wouldn't let me. Any insight into how to get it to work or why it stopped working?
Because of home catcher, fix: 8 failed reboots

what does that mean? how can i fix it?
What I mean is how exactly do you get 8 consecutive failed reboots?

when your NT boots up there will be a black screen with the n logo. right after that black screen disappears, hold the power and n button at the same time until the NT shuts off. repeat 8-10 times and you will be greeted with a factory software reset screen.
at that point, the NT will be booting into it's own recovery software. once that process is complete, you will be starting off with a fresh NT, assuming your original software was 1.4.0, otherwise it will be 1.4.1
hope this helps!
Do a factory reset. I had the same problem - N button stopped working. Password protection stopped working also. Only help was a factory reset. At the time, I didn't have home catcher installed - still don't.

Let me think about this... N button doesn't work... Hmmm, hold down the N button... but, the N...
If the n button has failed in that regard, no amount of resets will repair it. That's a hardware failure and you would need to return the unit.
Try it. The n button may just not be working as expected from software.

Hi everybody,
I decided to change my wallpaper on my phone and the app seemingly crashed to the point where the power button won't turn the screen on. Plugging the power in will power the screen on, but an error comes up saying that Go Launcher is experiencing problems (force close, wait, etc). Regardless of what I hit, I'm forced to unlock my phone as usual, but it doesn't unlock. I'm stuck staring at a black screen...can't get to settings, notification bar, anything. Help please?

i got a mip 67 error and just tried ##SCRTN# and update profile/prl, but the whole android system keeps freezing after 20 seconds when i reboot. odd thing is that the hardware buttons still repond and i can reboot my phone, but the onscreen keys and anything involving the screen doesn't respond (unless i make the reboot menu come up). any ideas? using BareCeeV2 as my rom and recently tried using http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/app-fly-mod-app-2-0-alpha1-feel-t3213642 and used the build.prop tweaks. thanks
