Anyone else run into this? I've noticed with both the XDA app and NBA Jam, if I have run them recently and go to reboot, the apps disappear once I'm up and running again. Shortcuts still exist but trying to launch the program I get a message that the app isn't installed. Re-downloading and installing fixes it, no user data is lost.
When rebooting I get a dialog like the attached image shows. Stock, not rooted, running Apex launcher. Never ran into this with my OG EVO. Any suggestions?
No Suggestions. Same problem. I'm rooted and have TB backups of everything so I just search "uninstalled" and restore but it's a real pain.

For the past few days, the notification bar, when pulled down, shows my Vibrant downloading Smart Taskbar. Perhaps stopping a download is simple, but I don't know how. Meanwhile, I've uninstalled the app; reinstalled it; rebooted; but the notification remains.
FWIW, my Vibrant is rooted, with stock ROM. I use LauncherPro.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Lol how many times.did you click.download? You said you tried uninstalling it, well leave it delete reboot and see what happens

Initially, I installed once through AppBrain and Fast Web Installer. AFAIK, I've not double installed since. I've also tried rebooting with Quick Boot.
My first post here...
Anyway, I appreciate all the hardwork the devs are doing to make the G-Tab... awesome...
Well, I recently loaded the VeganTab GingerEdition RC1 - from VeganTab v.5.1.1, and I have a couple of issues. I looked around to see if anyone had similar problems... or even better yet, solutions but I did not find any yet.
So my problems are related to GPS apps. Specifically, my first issue is on the Google Nav app that keep dissapearing repeatedly when I reboot. I first noticed that the NAV app icon was switched to null (blank android) - icon right after my initial reboot after the ROM install. I did a search and found that I needed to uninstall Google Maps to get the NAV app back. So I did as instructed and I got the NAV app back and it was fully functioning... until I rebooted. It dissapeared again and I am left with an empty android icon where the NAV app used to sit on my desktop. App manager does not even list it on the installed app list, until I uninstall Google Maps app and reinstall... I am not sure what is causing this but it's very annoying.
My second problem is also releated to a GPS app. I used to run CoPliot app without any issues on the VeganTab v5.1.1. But now I get a GPS error stating "Unable to register for GPS updates" and the app quits. It stays in memory though and I have to use task manager to kill it.
Any ideas? I logged these two issues on the VeganTab bug tracker. I am hoping some of you guys might have few ideas about the issues I am experiencing.
These are more annoyances than anything... but I am thinking about maybe going back to v5.1.1. until the waters settle. What is the best way to downgrade? Do I need to take the tablet back to stock ROM before I reflash the v.5.1.1? Can I just load that ROM on top of the GingerEdition with cache wipe and etc.?
Thanks.
hey guys.
I decided I wanted to try going without sense. Installed golauncher ex and set it up. installed widgetlocker and set it up. everything was working fine.
I made a nandroid backup.
I flashed smoking1337's DeSensify script. all my widgets were gone but everything seemed to be working fine. I reinstalled all my widgets...and they started acting weird. when I would press and hold on one, and drag it, it would create a second copy...I deleted all the double copies, rebooted the phone, all the widgets were gone.
I set them up again. today in the morning, I noticed K9 was constantly trying to check email, and then started getting FCs on all the google apps...then superuser crashed.
I figured something went wrong with the script. went into recovery, wiped everything, restored nandroid.
rebooted the phone. seemed fine. then it started again. k9 constantly checking, none of my desktop visualizer widgets would work, even though they were to app organizer shortcuts and those worked going through the app drawer.
then superuser crashed again.
considering i've already wiped and nandroid'd back to before I flashed the script, what could be causing this issue?
i'm downloading the latest SteelROM to copy superuser from it and push it to my phone...but i'm concerned as to what caused this?
thanks.
Here's a really odd one. Sometime, when I reboot, I lose a couple of installed apps! It doesn't happen on every reboot, but it's always the same apps. RSA Secure ID, and Swiftkey. It's insane! I'll add an exposed module or want to flash a kernel and when the system comes back up after the reboot, those apps will be gone! I can restore them fine from TiBu, but why are they disappearing in the first place?!? I can't figure out what's happening.
Any thoughts folks? It's driving me nuts!
Thanks,

Did you manually install these apps or are they from store? Is verify apps enabled in settings? Only reason I can think of as to why they are uninstalling themselves

Hi,
I had a weird problem with an app (The Times and The Sunday Times) on my Xperia Z2 Tablet yesterday. Although I managed to fix it eventually, I was wondering if anyone might be able to shed some light on what happened.
The tablet had been repaired under warranty. Before I sent it off, I did a full Titanium backup, unrooted, and reset to factory defaults. As part of the repair, Sony updated the firmware from 17.1.1.A.0.402 to 17.1.2.A.0.314 (17.1.2.A.0.314 was released whilst it was out for repair). Both firmwares are based on Android 4.4.2.
I reinstalled all my user apps (not system apps) by restoring a Titanium backup, after which the The Times and The Sunday Times app was working. I used it several times, then yesterday it froze when loading. Killing the app from the recents and opening it again didn't work; this time it wouldn't load (the icon on the Nova Launcher desktop glowed for a few seconds, then nothing happened).
I then tried the following, killing the app from the recents menu before each attempt:
Clearing the app's cache.
Clearing the app's data.
Uninstalling the app and reinstalling.
Uninstalling the app, searching the entire device for the app name using solid explorer (rooted), removing any left over files, and reinstalling the app.
Uninstalling the app, running SD maid, and reinstalling the app.
Rebooting the device.
Still no luck. each time, the app icon would glow when i tapped it, the app would appear in my recent apps list as a black rectangle, but no matter how long I left it (several hours at one point), it just wouldn't load.
In desperation, I restored the app's Titanium backup with data, and it (sort of) worked. The app loaded, and allowed me to log in again (as if I'd just done a fresh install, or restored the app without data).
The weird thing is that the app has not been updated since I made the backup, so the backup version is the same as the version on the Play Store.
Does anyone know why restoring the Titanium backup would work where the troubleshooting steps I took above didn't? Is it possible that the app's data got given some weird permissions at some point that only Titanium, running as root, could sort out?
Thank you in advance!
Looking at the logcat might offer some insights into why it was not launching.
An educated guess would be that TiBu restored/overwrote a file that the other apps/system did not find and wipe and the app itself corrupts a file when launching and only restoring a working one from your backup fixed it.
If you find out what file that is, SD Maid could be updated to cover that and if it's reproduceable, you could also write the dev of the app instruction how to reproduce the issue so he can fix it.
Of course there is always the option that the server/connection was bad and it hang because of that.
