Try reinstalling the crashing apps from store if the apps are inherited from the previous rom.

If the gapps package crashed you should fix your permissions. Could you give more details about the apps? System or user apps?

It sounds like you haven't fully wiped your phone before flashing a ROM. If all your applications were still there when you flashed the ROM, then you didn't fully wipe. You have to wipe in the following order in recovery before flashing a ROM -
1) Wipe system
2) Wipe data/factory reset
3) Wipe cache

This. You must always do this when flashing.

Are you sure it won't wipe away my software information, because I thought that was in the system partition?

Do I wipe the /boot partition? I haven't, but it is an option on clockwork mod.

Default App Choices not sticking

OK guys i.'m tying to track down the file or files responsible for saving the programs I choose for my default apps. I am having my settings only stick for around ten minutes. After that time I have to choose my default app if multiple choices exist again.
I have a working theory that my permissions on said file or files are borked and I need to get them setup right again. I think they are not being written to the "save" fle and when the program chosen is killed my choice is killed with it.
I have tried using fix permissions in my recovery to no avail.
I am on MeanRom 2.6 ICS I am s-off with full root access.
Could someone tell me the file or files I should check and what the permissions should be when I look at them?
Thanks for any help,
Adan

I would try a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik-cache, sd-ext, boot) and then flash the ROM again. Some files might have gotten messed up during the flash so it's always best to start with a clean slate

Boot into cwm (vol up and home and power). Select full wipe/factory reset, wipe cache partition, go to advanced wipe dalvik cache, then select install custom zip and find its location on sd then aroma installs what u want (choose custom installation). Also yeah this info is in like the 2nd or 3rd post of omega thread but was feeling generous

Hey man, Follow these steps to the Safest way possible:
1-Backup your files or data to Pc/Make a Nandroid Backup IF you want to switch to ur actual Rom.
2-Reboot into recovery mode using CWM ClockWorkMod Manager.
3- in recovery mode choose install zip from Sdcard
4-hover into the Omega Rom which you downloaded and choose it/press Yes and flash it.
If you have any issues with OMEGA rom like force closings or bugs try to wipedata/factory reset and wipe cache and Dalvik cache.
Hope this helped !!
Thanks bro!

[Q] How to format int. storage

Flashed and used new cwm and twrp which is said that will not currupt the int.storage with CM10 and AOKP. Then my apps started force closing. Flashed back the modded stock rom. Still the problem persists. Is my data partition currupted? If so how can I recover it? Is there a way or tool to fully format them?

f you go from stock to cm you need make factory reset (wipe int storage)! You can do it in recovery or android settings.
Did a full wipe. No luck yet. Is there a way to do a full format..? In good old windows mobile days we had a tool called MTTY.

Both cwm and twrp recoveries have an options to wipe/format internal (and external) memory. Use Google if you can't find it by yourself there, it's not hard

Factory Reset/Wipe/Clear When Flashing New ROM

So almost all of the ROM listed require a factory reset, data wipe, cache clear, but the thing that's confusing me is when I do that it deletes the ROM I'm trying to flash from recovery. So I have to boot back into the newly wiped ROM, download the new one, boot back into recovery and THEN flash. So, is this still considered a dirty flash? How do I avoid this without there being an additional SD slot?
Factory reset won't wipe your data. Where are you storing the file?

The ROMs are always in the /sd/downloads folder. But like I said, after I wipe, it's gone. I should mention that I also do a format, as per the instructions.

I agree. As long as I skip the format part it stays there. So I'll continue doing so until I begin having issues.

[Q] Crpalmer's kernel issues

I have flashed the cm11 12/20 (latest nightly) and crpalmers version 5.3.7 kernel. His init.d scripts are supposed to lock in the cpu frequencies which i set to 162000 and 1026000. The crpalmer.log file says the frequencies are locked in but my min and max cpu frequencies are both 1134000 for some reason. this is on a fresh install and ive tried rebooting and wiping the cache and dalvik cache multiple times. does anyone know how i could successfully lock in the cpu frequencies? no app will do it either. thanks in advance.
Why don't you ask this in his kernal thread. He would be a good guy to ask.

What are you looking at to see what your min max frequencies are?
If the logs say they are set, they usually are.
I don't have the administrative privileges or something like that. So I decided this was the second best place. I'm looking in settings>performance>processor.

I imagine the logs would be accurate, but so shouldn't the processor settings in the settings app.

You should have administrator privileges (superuser) if you were able to flash a cm-based ROM and kernel.
Do a clean flash. Wipe dalvik, cache, system, and data. Then flash the ROM and gapps and then boot and set up the phone. Then go back into recovery and flash the kernel.
I mean I don't have administrative privileges to post in the original development forums. Sorry about the confusion. And already did a clean wipe and installed the kernel after the first boot. Should I try again?

The scripts should work as advertised unless there is another app or a script/mod you installed that's trying to override the kernel's settings.
Just try from the beginning, wipe davlik, cache, data, and system. Install the rom and let it run and set up some things. Then flash the kernel.
Do not restore anything (data and/or apps). If things are working fine, then make a nandroid. Then you can start restoring things. If anything you restore mucks things up at least you have a pristine backup that you could restore.
Okay I'll try that. Thank you for the help, it is very much appreciated!
