After I root my galaxy s3, I installed titanium backup and freeze some of the Samsung apps. But somehow whenever I reboot I get error message "sorry, settings has stopped". Well after that everything is normal, but sometimes when I switch between wifi and data network (using go switch) this message also shows up. Does anyone know what I did wrong? Thanks!
Go back, unfreeze everything in titanium then boot into recovery. Clear dalvik, cache and fix pemissions.
Thank you! I did what you told me to, unfrost everything in TB, reboot into ClockworkMod recovery, clear Dalvik Cache and fix permissions (I didn't find the option of clear cache, only the option "clear cache partition", not sure if that's the one I want). But the problem still exists...
I also found out every time I turn on/off GPS, the error message comes out...

have you delete the apps in the system?
Yes I uninstall all the apps that possibly cause the problem. Go launcher, go switch, superSU, andorid task manager, titanium backup,... Still the problem exists. It's not a big problem because the error message just shows up and after I click "OK" everything backs to normal. But I still want to solve the problem so I clean up the data and do a factory reset and then reinstall the original firmware. Finanlly the error message problem goes away, now I need to root the phone again and try to install the apps carefully...

Sounds like another app you have downloaded that for you. Have you tried tibu to find and uninstall that way?
I will check on it I already rebooted,fixed permission wipe both caches and still there I can long press it because upon pressing it it goes to the app.
I will try restoring my nandroid I guess maybe that should fix it since my backup is a clean copy with few apps installed

If you find the culprit app that installed it without your permission, make sure to let us all know so we don't run into it. Good luck.
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.

Unsure. Most likely not. It would be like running 2 kernels at once... just wouldnt work. Wouldn't risk it. Could hard brick the phone.

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.
I am facing a strange issue in my GT-I9300 Baseband:I9300XXELLA, Build:JZO54K.I9300XXELLB after a software upgrade from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2. with the exception of some apps like watsapp and default system apps, messaging dialer etc etc. system vibration intensity settings do not work, they are max always.. like when ever i get msg or call on viber it vibrates with full intensity,irrespective of my phones vibration intensity settings. similarly if i use dialerone dialpad haptic feedback is operational, although its disabled. skype vibrates with full intensity also.. so on.. so here is wat i have done so far.. i was able to resolve the issue by downgrading to 4.1.1. but i think 4.1.2 feel lighter and faster.. i have tried re upgrading to 4.1.2 and reinstalling fresh apps.. (not restoring).. wiped cache and user data via power+homekey+ volume up button menu... nothing seem to work on 4.1.2.. so i was hoping if any of you folks could help me out.. it will be better if someone who knows where these system vibration controls reside and how can i reset them, to clean things which could be messing with vibration controls, answers me..
These are app problems not the phones problem.Can be caused by the restoreing of the data that the app has.Try booting to recovery and wipeing cache partition and dalvik cache and then go to advanced and fix permissions and reboot.Should clear up all bad data.

Sure mate. If you boot to recovery you can wipe cache.To wipe data for each app one by one if you want you can do it in settings/application manager then select the app and wipe data if you know what app is causing the problem. For dalvik you will need root unless you can find a file manager from the play store that will do it.This can be a common problem when restoring data.That's why people root their phones to get this type of wipe access.It also allows a proper restore without data problems.

but dude i have wiped everything other than dalvik cache.. only downgrading to 4.1.1 solves the problem.. but i want 4.1.2 cuz its faster...btw what do u mean by advanced options and fixing permissions? how can i do that... just to clarify again.. i have tried even manual fresh install of the apps after the upgrade and wiping cache's n user data....
Those extra settings you get when you root and install a custom recovery.They aren't available in the stock recovery.upgrading to 4.1.2 and restoring apps with data from 4.1.1 is obviously the problem seeing as they are different firmwares.it can be done though with root and a custom recovery.

i rooted the phone. wiped cache, user data, dalvik and fixed permissions...all useless.. system vibration intensity level fail to override third party software's..haptic feedback and alert vibrations alert with full intensity... any other suggestion ?
It would have most probably not have happened if your phone was rooted in the first place.Then you make a backup of your apps + data with Titanium Backup.Its the best there is for this type of thing.Then when you flash the 4.1.2 (if its via kies you need to root again cos you loose it and if its via Odin its full wipe so you root and download Titanium first) you go to TB select the restore option and select "let me choose" and the phone will do it properly for you.
When dowmloading TB on a new firmware after a full wipe you will get a prompt asking to keep or accept the new android ID.Always restore the old one so you dont have problems with old backups and data.
Fixing these things before root is more difficult cos you already have the data backup.You may need to full wipe back to stock then root and try again.It depends on you if you want to try it installing some apps without data.Some like viber and FB dont need data for example as you can just sign back in.If you dont want to loose games data the just instll them.Viber,line,FB,WhatsApp can just be re-signed in and set up.
Seeing as they are the ones causing vibration errors then dont restore their data.

i even tried that.no restoration from backup options.. (zero third party apps after upgrading to 4.1.2)..the moment i installed any third party app the issue came back again..n its for all the apps.. except the "watsapp".. i dnt knw y not watsapp ! i dont think its the problem with apps.. the interesting thing is.. if i create a keis backup from 4.1.2 along with the 3rd party apps,, after downgrading to 4.1.1 and restoring the backup from 4.1.2 does not create any problem..all settings seem to work fine as far as i am on 4.1.1..i think its the problem with OS which is unable to override its current notification/alert settings for 3rd party apps, instead it keeps them to max vibrations!..
If you upgraded via kies it may be that something didnt go completely right.You could always flash the same firmware or a 4.1.2 firmware for another region via Odin to see what happens.Also there are custom ROMs which take out all of these bugs that stock firmwares can sometimes have.
I can confirm an oddness with haptic feedback in 4.1.2 when compared to 4.1.1.
Seems like it's somewhat more intense in general.
In apps, such as emulators, that have the option to have vibration when pressing a button the intensity is too high, clearly not the one I have in my settings, which was at lowest.
Even if you disable it it'll be on when dragging icons etc.
I upgraded from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 via Kies and did full reset to no avail.
My region update is Portugal and build JZO54K.I9300XXELLA. Other regions such as Nordic countries XXELL4 makes no difference, so I guess we'll have to wait for a fix.
So yesterday, I updated an app but then my phone says "storage space is running out". And then, everything that I tried to open just crashed with all these popups
"Unfortunately, Google Play services had stopped."
"Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped."
"Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped."
"Unfortunately, Nova Launcher has stopped."
etc.
So i can't even access the home screen or any settings to make more storage space...I was looking online and a few people suggested deleting the dumpstate files but I can't even connect my phone to the computer
Any advice??
Try to boot into recovery to wipe dalvik and cache. If that works and allows the phone to boot without crashing, delete the app that you updated, and do the wipes again......
Then download SD maid (or similar) and perform a system cleanup.......
If none of that works, it may be necessary to factory reset in recovery........

I wiped dalvik and caches...still not working, is a factory reset the only option left?
in recovery, should i change the mount settings? i got an error "E:Can't mount /sdcard/"
what should be mounted and what should be unmounted?
Yes.
If you can get your phone to boot and remain usable for long enough, download SD Maid and use it to get rid of any temporary/old/unused files that may be lurking in the phones system.......

[HELP] Unable to install apps from ".apk" files
Edit: My phone is running AOSParadox.
This is what happened. I hope you read this fully.
(But still, you can skip to point no 5 , if this? looks long/big ? And if you want to know the "actual" problem, skip to point no 10.)
1)I downloaded new "phone" app apk and installed.
2)new app got installed as a separate app as a result of which there were 2 'phone' apps (one of which is a system app)
3)To make the newer 'phone' app as system app, I deleted the older one(yes, I had rooted the ROM) , and using ES file explorer, I copied the newer 'phone' apk to /system/priv-app & changed the permission to rw- r-- r-- . Rebooted.
4)After this, I could make phone calls...BUT, after dialing a number, the dialer interface ( the screen where the controls like disconnecting a call, loud speaker toggle, mute toggle exist) was simply not appearing. Hence, I could not do anything but listen to the calls that I dial.
5)So, I uninstalled this app, and reflashed the whole ROM and rebooted to system.
6)'Google play service stopped' kept on popping up. So,flashed open gapps nano.
7)now, 'setup wizard stopped' started to pop up.
8)Hence I deleted setupwizard.apk from /system/priv-app in twrp file manager & rebooted, And the pop up stopped.
9) But, many other app crashing messages started to pop up.( like Google+, Google play games, messenger(Google) ie, all the 'Google' apps that are NOT part of Gapps).So, I wiped ONLY system and flashed the ROM and Gapps. After this also, 'setup wizard stopped' started to pop up. So, I repeated step 8.
10) Now, I cannot install ANY "apk". If I try to install , it says that there is "parsing error". But, I can install an app if I download it DIRECTLY from play store.
Help me to install the '.apk' file.
Edit: do NOT suggest me to perform a full wipe/clean install of the ROM. please.
Thanks everyone!
try this, take a nandroid of only your data partition (without compression) , change your file systems on /data & /cache (if its ext4, then okay, but if its f2fs then change to ext4) , the do a clean flash, boot into the rom, then reboot back to recovery, wipe ONLY DATA and restore the nandroid backup, wipe cache & dalvik and reboot.
see is it helps
Also, fix the title of this thread

best i can say is that you tried messing around symlinked system apps, the gapps problem confirms that, maybe Googlepackage installer got screwed up, try installing gapps again without any wipes, if that doesnt work, maybe a full wipe is the only option.

I re-flashed the Gapps without wiping anything. After booting into the system, after unlocking, 'unfortunately setup wizard has stopped working ' kept on popping up.
Why?
Anyway, I think I have to do clean install. Just curious about what's happening.
