Potential solution
Ok I think I might be on to a solution here. Root needed + own risk.
My SGS3 is unbranded, on the LG8 update.
The following steps worked for me.
Using es file explorer navigate to /data/clipboard/ and delete the contents (backup first just in case). Then long press on the clipboard folder, properties>permissions> change. Ensure everything is ticked. Restart.
Please report back. Good luck!

I visted their site but this fix is only for rooted phones. Is there any type of fix out there that doesn't require rooting or a factory reset?
I've had my phone siince July & received only one OTA update & that was soon after purchasing the phone so I'm a bit puzzled as to why I'm encountering this problem.
Thanks!

Starting happening to me out of the blue from within certain applications like facebook, whatsapp and sms... have tried uninstalling recently installed apps, wiped cache, fixed permissions... still getting fc'd
I'm on the att gs3

Found this on androidforums and it worked for me
delete files under /data/clipboard
in application manager got to *all, search for testservices and clear cache/data
reboot

Thanks a lot... Works like charm... issue fixed without factory reset on Galaxy Note 10.1...
I too used the method of clearing everything in the clipboard folder and it worked. I can't imagine doing a factory reset and then having to go through that all again later on without having the apps backed up.

WOW, Thank you much ! It worked for me. You made my day !
I just started having this problem too out of the blue.
Only a hard reset fixed it since I am not rooted
I ended up hard resetting my S3, it took me a while to get everything (settings, apps, etc) back. It was not worth the effort to get copy and paste working again.

Deleting the contents of /data/clipboard, permission changes and a restart worked perfectly for me. I did not need to take the extra steps listed in the androidforums link. Although this might not work for everyone, its worth a try to save a few steps.
Thanks for the tips, now I have copy/paste feature back again. It was driving me nuts not being able to use this feature.
I have the same problem but only in my browsers

READ AT THE END OF THIS POST FOR THE SOLUTION
I accidentally used Titanium Backup's widget to frost all system and user apps, leaving mi phone in a infinite boot animation loop. I dont have aNandroid Backup and I would really love to solve this issue without flashing.
I found at Titanium Backup's troubleshooting webpage that I could use this command with adb to solve my issue:
Code:
Type the following command (replace with /dbdata/system/packages.xml if you have a Samsung phone):
busybox sed -n 's/<package name="\([^"]\+\)".*enabled="false".*/\1/p' /data/system/packages.xml | while read PKG; do pm enable "$PKG"; done
but it just says: No such file or directory (yes, I changed /data to /dbdata as stated in the webpage)
Any idea on how to solve this issue?
Thank you!
**EDIT:
This is the way I managed to get my phone working again without having to flash or wipe:
1. Boot in recovery mode and used adb pull command to extract "packages.xml" and "packages-more-backup.xml" from /data/system/
2. Open both files with Wordpad and replaced all protection="2" or "3" lines to protection="1".
3. Also, and very important, replaced all enabled="false" lines to enabled="true"
4. Boot in recovery again and used adb to delete old "packages.xml" and "packages-more-backup.xml" files and push the new ones.
5. Reboot and Voila!
6. Boot once again in recovery mode and fix permissions to avoid any problem.
Hope that this could be usefull to someone else having this horrible problem.
Thank you all!
Checked for that file on my phone, it doesn't exist in /dbdata/system/, but it does in /data/system/
It's probably fixable from the command line with Linux but that is over my head, one option would be to Odin or heimdel back to stock, and start from scratch. You might need a jig to get into dlmode.

I wonder what would happen if you removed the app (its apk) via adb from /data/app. Would it retain the freeze settings? Something to consider trying.

I tried doing that right now but it didn't worked
I got a little too punchy with titanium on my 3 year old original Galaxy tab 7 and froze a samsung system app. Got irreversibly stuck is soft brickland - Tried various methods before giving up and hitting the wipe and reset to factory restore in the system recovery mode. Everything was backed up except recent photos, so it was more annoying than the end of the world.
Odd thing was when it reset to factory, it appeared to do just that, yet when I plugged it into PC and mounted it - the memory was full and all my files and app data files were there - untouched. The apps themselves have gone except one - Superuser is still there, Does Superuser somehow override being reset? and act as a guardian of your data in the event of reset?
Odd. I was expecting to run some file recovery software to a salvage what i could, but viola - it was all there.

ZIP for unfreezing apps
For those, who accidentally frozen important system app: here quick solution without factory reset, reflashing and ADB
It automatically edits files as described in first post.
You should have unlocked bootloader. If no, ZIP useless because unlocking wipes all data.
Download both ZIP's and just flash them via custom recovery (TWRP / CWM)
If first throws error try second and vice versa. 2nd with mark "New" contains newer updater-binary that must be compatible with recent TWRP.
Then all apps will be unfrozen, so phone will boot.
Fix compatible with all Android versions.
Note: also you can somehow (ADB or filemanager in TWRP) delete file /data/system/0/package-restrictions.xml
More correct to edit that file which ZIP actually do, but deleting not harmful too.

Same Problem
Does anyone have an updated version of that zip? I also froze an app linked to the device and it won't boot, even after factory resetting it. Tried running the zip on my t-mobile GS4 (probably newer than that zip) from the SD card in recovery mode, however it didn't unfreeze it.
Any help greatly appreciated!

1. To flash that ZIP you need have custom recovery (CWM or TWRP), not stock.
No update needed, it still works in this case.
2. That strange. Maybe you not really performed reset?
Double check all and try again.

Yup, unfortunately I did select wipe data on the recovery screen. I am also stuck in an infinite boot up loop and cannot access the phone to install any apps. How can I use a custom recovery to run the zip file if i cannot access the phone? Instructions much appreciated. Thanks again.

ZIP – it's not app.
Again, you need to install custom recovery.
Here link to TWRP and how install it via Odin on PC.
You need place that ZIP on sdcard.
Enter in recovery (don't know how on your model), select Install > find ZIP > confirm > reboot,

Downloaded TWRP with Odin and ran custom recovery without a change after the zip (this must have been a deeper-rooted problem in the OS itself), however in the meantime I formatted the system partition, removing the operating system. Installed Kies and ran the update. It reinstalled the OS and I'm good now. Most stuff was backed up anyways. Thanks guys for your time :good::good:
Which apk is the culprit?
Man, I wish I'd found this thread before restoring my phones internal ROM. Had it rooted and set up in every way I like except removing bloatware.
Using TB, I froze a system apk that shut down my System UI and sent the phone bootlooping. What I'm trying to determine is WHICH apk(s) I froze that caused this. I thought I had researched each one that didn't seem obvious, but I musta missed one or one of the 'obvious' ones wasn't so obvious.
Boy I'm not having great luck with my hardware atm. My Nexus 7 has got some serious lag issue, probably needing a factory restore, and now my SGS2 is playing up and looking like it might need the same. I'd appreciate the help before I go to that - not sure where I am on backups, I think this problem has been lingering for a while unnoticed, and its possible my scheduled Titanium task hasn't worked in a while because of this.
So let me run through. I was trying to update a few apps in the app store, and I got 'the package file is invalid' errors over and over. I was a little confused, and suddenly I was getting a flickering alert for 'low on application space' that would come and go.
I went into applications to see what my space was and it was fine, 400mb free. But I noticed that all of the apps were reading as zero size. I tried removing one I knew was big, and the free space adjusted by a real amount, but no change to the sizes in the listing. I went thru and uninstalled a bunch just to be sure. Even after this, I could still not install any apps without getting the invalid message.
I decided to restart and wipe the cache, thinking maybe something had gone wrong there. No change. All the installed apps were working ok, though, no problems running things. So, I decide that something minor has corrupted, and that a reflash of the current firmware would maybe do the job (which is a stock XEU build of ICS). I have 'Mobile Odin' and keep the current firmware file on the SD just in case. I of course want to run a backup first, so I fire up Titanium, which fails to do the backup, with an error about something catching fire trying to 'do calculation'. I begin to figure that something worse has happened by this point.
I decide to go ahead with the reflash using Mobile Odin. It seems to load fine, I tell it to wipe the cache and so on. The flash goes fine, and the phone reboots. I expected it to go through the little optimising applications thing it does, and true enough I see this box load up, saying 'start applications' and the spinning wheel. Then, it abruptly closes, and I get my home panel...
But here's where it goes severely wrong - every app I can think of now crashes, displaying the 'unfortunately XXX has stopped'. Boxes and boxes, for basically every app that in any way runs at startup, every widget, even my Swift Key and Swipe keyboards. Yikes! After clearing the huge backlog of boxes, I start trying to open stuff, and it quickly becomes apparent that no app will work, save for those that are physically part of the firmware (such as Settings, Messages, Phone, Contacts, Memo, Camera). Basically, unless its a stock app, it's just dead. My SD apps show up as if they aren't found, with the little grey SD box. I can't even open the Play Store to try redownloading an app.
I'm going to try, once I'm home from work, reflashing the firmware using desktop Odin. But, failing that, I will need a factory restore it would seem. Basically, I'm looking help either fixing the problem without a factory restore, or a way to back up my data (messages and app data) in case my Titanium Backups are old or broken.
Thanks :/
Edit: When I do a *#1234#, my CSC comes up as 'Unknown'. Would this cause these issues?

Flash a CF root kernel using desktop Odin, reboot into CWM via hard keys vol+ home and power. Find fix permissions, run it, reboot, hopefully work...
Most apps that aren't granted the right permissions that allow them to fulfil there main task will usually end up in a FC.

1. Backup your important data.
2. Uninstall apps you don't use
3. Using a ROOT capable explorer goto /data/app on your phone, delete all .odex files you find there
4. Disable System apps you don't need/use
- Goto Settings - Apps - All - Select the app you want to disable, select FORCE STOP, then DISABLE.
Repeat the step for each app
- Alternatively you can use titanium backup pro to freeze those apps
You can find the list of apps you can disable: here https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...1gdDJRekl4QmkyNmIzUmRvX2h3UDVkQXc&output=html
5. Boot to recovery (the stock recovery)
- clear cache
- reboot phone.
6. If any user / system app gives you force stop warning, then clear the days of that/those app(s) in settings.
You should notice the difference!

Thanks for that, but I'm sorry, what? I seem to be missing something - you've answered something that seems to be an entirely different problem! I can't even RUN an explorer let alone grant it root - so I can't reach the ODEXes, which aren't the reason for the FCs anyway.
This 'fix permissions' sounds like a good plan, I just need to know my best method for getting CWM onto the phone given it's state. I think I can use the update.zip method, but I may have to just wait until I can get to a machine capable of running Odin for me, to flash the CF kernel.

Ok.
Let me tell you some things you need to know
1. Fix permissions only has much effect on system apps, only if their permission is broken
2. Flashing a new Kernel will never fix many FC
3. Have you booted to recovery and wipe cache? If after doing this and your problem still persist, then you might have perform a Factory Data Reset.
4. Flashing a new firmware via Odin will not dramatically stop Force close errors. You will still need a factory reset to fix that.

I've tried wiping cache in recovery, yes. The only apps that run are the system ones. I can't explain why permissions may have been broken on the other apps, but it may be the case, so I'd like to try it. And, it was a flash via (Mobile) Odin CAUSED the FCs, so I don't know if that's true. Regardless, I'm heading home now, I can try flashing the CWM and run the fix permissions, and otherwise I need to figure out a backup solution before I factory restore.
I don't mean this wrong, but I'd prefer you don't just throw generic (yet good for general faults) advice if you don't have personal knowledge of the particular problem. It could be misleading.

You know my aim wasn't to mislead you but to help. I actually missed somethings in your Original post like "Every apps now doesn't work" etc
Because the only apps that run now are the system apps proves that there is something wrong in the /data partition, a location where all user apps, settings etc are stored.
Anyway, it's always very good to try all other means possible before factory reset.

Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to offend you or have a go. I appreciate all the help about to try flashing the rooted CWM kernel, to try the permissions fix. If that doesn't work, I need to figure out some way of doing a backup of sorts, before I do a restore :crying:
UPDATE: After flashing the CF-Kernel to access CWM, I'm getting a message I'm unfamiliar with "The System UIDs are inconsistent" yadda yadda factory reset. I'm currently 'fixing permissions' It looks like it's stalled, but it may just take a while. I have a lot of apps. Anyone understand the UIDs message in my context?
Update 2: Had to factory restore, but was able to restore almost everything with no problems from a CWM nandroid backup. Thanks for the help.

Hi,

2. Have you tried a full wipe?

Hey, thanks for your time.
1) How can I uninstall the APK (I'm noob in Android, I come from Windows Phone..) ?
2) If I do a wipe, will I lose everything ? And to proceed, do I have to enter CWM then "do a wipe/cache" ?
3) I'll do that if nothing can fix it.

If you do a data wipe, you will lose everything. Let's try just the wipe cache and wipe dalvik, don't do the data wipe to preserve your apps and configs. If I doesn't work, try the data/cache/dalvik wipe. You are right, just enter on CWM to perform cache and dalvik wipe.
3) I'll do that if nothing can fix it.

Yes, lets hope for the best, maybe it wont be necessary. Good luck! If you need help on step 3, just say it.
Just checked and the APK isn't in the list. There is no way to have a *.zip with the stock files I could install to fix my problem ?

This mod is probably made for deodexed rom
You run a rooted stock rom which is probably odex
So:
-use root explorer (or similar app) and move secmms.odex file from /system/app to your SDcard (internal or external) as backup
-restart in CWM
-wipe cache
-wipe dalvik cache
-restart your phone
-check if you still have your issue

Happened to me once: the app disappeared from dock
Check if the app is still in the app drawer.
If it is still there, then just move it back to dock

Sadly it's not here...
Problem solved thanks to Mopral who managed to extract SecMMS.apk and SecMMS.odex from a stock DDLIH and send them to me.
Hi! Long History, Yesterday I tried "Android Tweaker" app from one guy here on XDA.. BIG MISTAKE.. I select the tweaks i want and apply them all! well, first, I lost root access.. (lucky me i was on release4, so i can root again without problem) second, the tablet now is so unstable, sometimes is really fast.. and other times, (most of the time) is just SO SLOW! even my xperia 2010 is faster! so, i decided to root again and try to fix everything.. i fixed some things but still i have so much lag!, so i decided to install again my firmware.. I boot on the recovery and i tried to install my firmware (release4) again.. no luck .. the recovery says that i can't install the same version.. so my last resort.. Factory reset, i do it from recovery.. now on the first boot I have to type my name, my gmail account etc, so I can see that the factory reset works, .. but when I see my homescreen.. i realized that the tweaks ARE STILL THERE! :crying:
So, how do I perform a FULL WIPE?
Thanks!
btw.. DO NOT INSTALL "ANDROID TWEAKER" here is the forum thread for this app.. i you want to see it..

1. Root again using AiO
2. Use AiO to install 'rescue backdoor', Tweaks & Mods Submenu
3. Reinstall R4
4. Re-root
5. Don't f*** with this tablet, they are very easy to mess up and hard to recover from...... In saying that most of the time you will be safe when the incremental is lowered (rescue backdoor)
6. Enjoy your "NEW" Tablet
Thank you both! I'll try right now! :good:
@<robin> really? thought that it erased too... because on the recovery says that "System and App will be erased" but thanks for the info!
@stifilz You're right! All sony phones that I used were incredibly "open".. and you could do whatever you wanted .. If you had a problem, with a simple wipe, everything work like new!.. Is sad that this tablet is so limited.. :crying:

sure!
a wipe only clear partition data,cache,log,staging,
(system app and user app data save in data)
do nothing to system0 and system1,(all system app and config file no change),
eg your root will keep after wipe

if it still does'nt work for ya..
you gotta do the factory reset.. it wont affect your intrenel data.. and if you got important apps, try backing up( if rooted, titanium or if you are not rooted.. there are some backup apps for non rooted but they wont manage torbackup data)
