Too Many App Freeze on ICS - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
This is my first post here. I hope you guys can help.
I updated to official ICS release recently from 2.3.6 (if i remember correctly). Since then I get too many application freezes. Generally games like DrawSomething, Plants vs Zombies... get frozen. I need to close the frozen app from task mngr and re-open it.
Anyone else having the similar problem or can you guys suggest me something to fix this error?
Thanks so much for all replies.

How many apps do you have installed? Have you tried to wipe dalvik and fix permissions?

1: please do a full wipe
2: most will run on stock ics
3: few won't run on AOSP.

I would uninstall all the apps you don't use regularly
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium

Thanks for all replies. So by "wipe" you mean uninstalling every app?
Sorry if I sound stupid. I am kinda new to phone terminology.
I have many apps. I use them all I guess. :-/

Wipe as in full wipe / factory reset in cwmr

Seems like "wipe" is the only solution for me atm.
Could you please suggest me a back up app? And maybe a good "wipe" walkthrough forum topic link?
Thank you again...

Google Play "Missing Apps" Issue (AGAIN!)

Hello,
My problem is identical to the one show here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377514
Basically, when you go to "My Apps" in google play, it just says "Applications and Games owned by this account will appear here."
I am unable to download previously purchased apps.
I have tried ALL the solutions on that thread to no avail.
It happened after I upgraded my Rom to a newer version (hydrogenics 23/03 to 25/03) but I doubt it is ROM related, since flashing back to the backup of my 23/03 rom does not resolve the problem.
My Google Play app is on the latest version (3.5.15) which is supposed to solve this issue.
I am really desperate and at a loss. Anyone can help?
I would be super super grateful for any form of help.
No one can help?

[App] Face Unlock for TW 4.0.4

As we all notice with the new exciting 4.0.4 release for the SGT-10.1, Face unlock is not available for unlocking the tab!
I have taken the liberty to modify the ICS-04292012-gapps to include Facelock.apk without all the rest of the gapps. So BIG THANKS to the CM team for the zip and the components outside of the facelock.apk. The facelock.apk came from my SGS3 and works perfect on my tab.
Instructions:
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS THAT MIGHT OCCUR FROM FLASHING THIS! BY DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING, YOU THE USER ABSOLVE ME FROM ANY DAMAGES THAT MIGHT INCUR FROM YOU INSTALLING!!
1: MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!
2: DID YOU MAKE A BACKUP?
3: ARE YOU SURE YOU MADE A BACKUP!
4: Download the zip http://www.mediafire.com/?pps4d43jmpoyjc4
5: Flash with CWM
6: Reboot
7: Check settings>security>screen lock
This has been tested only on the P7510. Once more people download and report back, I can say if it works with other variants of the 10.1 series.
Confirm working by RavenY2K3 that it works on P7500. He had to clear extra space on the /system partition to have it running.
Man, thanx for it!
Working on my P7510!

Scratch that, I delved a little into the system and it appears the amount of space in the ROM partition wasn't enough, it didn't give any errors on flashing to say there wasn't enough but I moved a few things around manually and reflashed the file.... Working perfectly now, thanks again for your work dude

What's needed is to get someone with a 7500 who flashed with PC Odin to see if they have had the same issue I just had, I did it with the mobile version and those people who did the same have found that the hidden.img didn't flash, so some apps weren't available after flashing.

Good call, I flashed with Mobile ODIN as well for the P7510 but I remove so much bloat I don't even think about space anymore.

Flashed with cwm - recovery, works great, had to make some room before flasing so removed bloat with root explorer.

If you are rooted, use a program like Titanium Backup in the market to remove any useless apps, need to clear at least 25 MB.

Are you trying to say that it means clear some spaces?
How much space do I need to free? or which app need to be clear ?

I removed like GMail, Maps, StreetView, YouTube, Books, Movies. And just re-downloaded from the Play Store, because it puts it in /data/apps.
This works great on Tasks ICS. I removed a few useless apps with titanium backup and it works great!

Pocket Legends on SGS3

Do any fellow forum members play Pocket Legends on a SGS3?
I have massive issues with the game on mine at the minute where the game frequently freezes and kicks me back to my touch wiz home screen.
I've tried several custom jelly bean roms and a stock one and also ics roms and I still experience the same issues.
Has anyone else had similar issues, and do you have any work arounds?
Thanks in advance!

What do you mean? The game comes off the android market and updates are stored in the games cache which can be up to 30mb.
I don't think installing/downloading the apk from another source will make any difference...? Unless you know otherwise?

Ive downloaded it from other source not from the market and I dont have any problem. The only problem is when a new release is available it doesnt refreshes so you have to wait 1-2 days until someone makes that version cracked and then you have to just redownload.

Ahh ok, I only tried downloading straight from peacetime studios site and I am experiencing the same problems. Could you email me or message me a link to where you have downloaded the apk from please? Also, what Rom and kernel combo are you using please?
Thanks in advance
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I dont remember but if you google it im sure you will find some matches. I am using Omega v30 and cm10 with siyah kernel 1.7rc1 at the moment but always changing them.Last time I was playing with that game I used Omega v28 and Perseus or Siyah kernel.

Google Now on Stock Rom.

Alright, following This Guide I got Google now working.
To summarize what I did
1. Root phone using the Korean Root method
2. I unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM using Project FreeGee
3. I booted into CWM and installed This zip.At the I was writing this guide, I freegee was on version 0.5
4. My phone restarted and froze up about twice before finally staying booted. It seems to have normalized now.
edit:Right now most things seem to work.
If anyone finds a better version of Google now, please let me know and post the how-to.
I didn't make the zips and all I have done is follow the instructions and write down my personal experience. I give full credit to the author of the original post for their instructions/work they did. However, since the LGOG doesn't need project Butter, Google Now is the main thing we are missing from 4.1 and it should help ease the wait for a stable AOSP ROM. If anyone has any issues let me know and I'll make a list.

Right now the main thing that doesn't seem to work is Calendar/setting alarms.

THis is great news. Right now I'm pondering whether to get this phone or the Note II, and Google now (which I have on my Captivate running SlimBean 3.0) is the one thing I really cannot imagine giving up.
Question: when you say that Calendar/settings alamrs don't work, do you mean that they don't work at all, or that they don't show up in Google Now?
I was referring to not working in Google now. Although i did manage to set an alarm with it shortly after this post.
Also fwiw I had the captivate too. I try to stick with nexus hardware.

OK, I can't get it to launch links for me after searching. Anyone else? I'm wondering if it's because I removed Chrome and the LG browser?
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk 2
Edit: Works most of the time but I also have issues launching links. I still have chrome and the stock browser installed, it will launch them I just have to click on them multiple times. I'm also occasionally having issues exiting to the home screen using either the home button or the back button.
Links can be a little stubborn for me but, usually open.

Titanium backup.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Uninstall stock voice search with titanium backup or you will get problems with android keyboard. It makes it try use them both for voice typing. I'd assume it may be the cause of any and all problems.
Edit: scratch that... Since installing Google now I get all kinds of freezing reboots. Caca. Then again it just be saying f u to nova launcher. Clearing cashes fixes it until it happens again.

One of the cards says there's an update available in the Play Store. When I go there it says my device is incompatible. Is there something we could tweak to the build.prop in order to get this update? Or will that mess things up due to the nature of how it was installed?

Google play store

Anyone else experiencing trouble with the Google play store. It goes to update/download an app and then force closes. It won't open back up unless I clear the data via the app manager.
Didn't take the new update and my device is rooted. Does anyone have ideas to help me out will be Mich appreciated. Thanks
Edit: fixed, flashed stock me7 ROM and did a factory reset. Just in case anybody else has this problem.
