Hey guys I keep getting apps force closing or saying app so and so stopped responding. Tapatalk, play music, play store and whole lot more. I was on stock rooted when it started, then I flashed clean rom. And it still does it. Not sure if it could be because I have xposed installer installed with nottach xposed app. Or if there may be something wrong with my phone. I've done factory reset and I'm pretty sure it was happening before I installed xposed as well. But I can remember 100%. What are your thoughts?

Why do applications force close?
Applications rely on temporary files to keep them running, not unlike the cookies in your web browser. If left unattended, these temporary files can cause problems.
A temp file holds little pieces of information about the applications you use, for instance the way you like your camera to be set up, or the bookmarks in your web browser. Not all temporary files hold your preferences - some hold information the application needs to run; they are there to try and save you time, resources and battery life.
Every now and again these temporary files may load a pice of information incorrectly and ‘confuse themselves’.
To clear out the temporary files on an Android smartphone:
Open the Settings Menu by opening your app menu and selecting 'settings', or tapping the menu button at the bottom of your phone and tapping 'settings'
From Settings, access the ‘Applications’ or ‘Apps’ menu and select ‘Manage Applications'. If all goes well you will see a list of your current running applications
Now if you see the Application that's ‘Force Closing’ you might want to skip ahead to the next step but for anyone that doesn’t, you need to either select the option at the top that says ‘ALL’ or press the Menu key and tap “filter all by size”
Tap the app you're having problems with to enter the 'app settings' menu
Now we are in the applications settings menu, we only need to be concerned with 3 of the 4 buttons. ‘Force Stop’,‘Clear Data’ and ‘Clear Cache’.
First off, lets start by selecting ‘Force Stop’, we do this to stop the pesky application from running so we can perform this maintenance. Next, tap the 'Clear Cache' button to get rid of those temporary files we mentioned earlier.
If the 'Clear Cache' button doesn’t solve the initial problem, select 'Clear Data'. This will erase any saved data you have in the app, so it's the last resort if your app won't stop force closing.
Have you tried checking your permissions?? I usually use ROM manager to do this. This usually helps me correct force closing issues.

It's not so much of them force closing more of they stop responding. And I have tried fixing permissions.

I just got my CM7 up and running on my NC.
As someone who spend most of his life using PC applications, I think running an Android take some getting used-to.
My question, when you move from one menu (inside an app) to another, how do you navigate back, like the <- button on a browser.
For example, I was running the the File Manager, and with one false touch, it went into the Advanced Feature (Exclude from media scan). Now I am struck in this page, hitting the n button just terminated the app, but if I am to restart it, it went right back to the same page.
Now I am frustrated as hell
Dont you have the Back button at the notification area together with the rest of touch buttons like Home, Options etc?
Once inside the page (also happened in other app too), there is only two ways out: hitting n or press the power button until the menu showed up. And I don't see the kind of options you mentioned.
Go to Settings > Cyanogenmod Settings > Tablet Tweaks >
then uncheck "Disable Fullscreen".
But, when I entered the screen you mentioned, my status bar never goes away...
You should have some icons on your status bar, there..
Also under Tablet Tweaks setting, under Choose soft-buttons, make sure Menu and Back are at least checked.
Which version of CM are you running anywho? These soft buttons were added quite a while ago.
I was using the Encore 164.
When I run the Cyanogenmod Settings, it crashed with the message The application has stopped unexpectedly, please try again.
The problem just repeated.
I don't know if it will help you but this is what you're looking for.

It's in the status bar. The instructions above are to make sure the status bar is showing and that you haven't somehow removed the back button. If you still can't get CyanogenMod Settings to open you might try restarting your Nook. That's one PC trick that still applies to Android.
I rebooted the NC many times, and without CyanogenMod Settings to run, look like I am out of luck .

Use the rom manager to flash the latest nightly, the installation should take care of your issue for you.
Something else that might help:
/settings/cyanogenmod settings/tablet tweaks/choose unhide button
I have mine set for volume down.
If I ever lose the status bar, I can just hit volume down to make it show again, and get that back button available again.
Now you can make it go away when watching movies or playing games, and if you need to use it you can summon it at your whim.
Thanks to all those responded.
I have since redid my CM7 (format/clear cache, data and what not) and after that, I could see the soft <- button at the bottom of the screen and cyanogenmod settings is no longer crashed.
Again, a big THANK YOU to all of you!

Cool, thanks for this tip, I really like using this now.
How the heck do you shut the applications you are not using anymore? I have a bunch of stuff on and I cant shut them off from the task manager as they dont show there. I cant see and exit or close options off their menu either... Task manager only shows the last 6 used, I cant see all I have open. Do I need an app to close the apps?

Long hold on the Home button brings up your last 6 recent. You still have to press task manager button.
Also Android auto closes programs when it's ready too. They say you use more battery when you constantly close them.

Thanks droidal.
While in task manager if you select the RAM tab, then click clear memory, it will stop everything and only start the necessary system apps again.

Unfortunatly if your not using a rom that doesn't have all the bloatware, sometimes it opens up things like At&t Ready2Go! Very annoying! Lol

With the way android handles multitasking, the manual shutdown of apps is unneeded unless the app is misbehaving.

I see this randomly popping up at the bottom of the screen and I'm not running any games or Feint apps (I have a few games installed that use it). How do I get rid of this?
Thanks

Press and hold the home button till the recent apps dialog opens (a list of recently used apps).
At the bottom there's 3 icons.
The icon that isnt the Google "G" or a bin will be the taskmanager - mines a round icon, with pie like sections cut out.
Select it then on the new screen that opens scoll across the top to "Active applications" - here you can see any open apps and close them - hopefully closing the Feint program - after that scroll across the top menu to "RAM" and hit the button "Clear Memory".
Any open programs or anything in the memory causing Feint to be open should now be closed, and Feint should not show any more.
RAM freeing apps are available on Google Play, and are easy to use usually allowing you to place a widget on a screen for one click access to free the RAM and kill any active processes like Feint. - This would be a much easier, quicker and convenient way to do what I have instructed above.

Thanks, I have been checking the Task Manager's Active Applications and there's usually nothing there but sometimes SMS, and I cleared memory so I'll see if it shows up again.
Hi Y'all.
I kinda like the stock browser.
The function of the "Browser home page" setting however
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Has me well & truly confused.
What is the function of this setting & how's it used?
1: It has been my understanding that this setting controls which page will be shown when the app is started.
That however appears not to be absolutely correct.
If I open a page - say Engadet for example.
Then press home button & revert directly to home screen.
Subsequently long-pressing home button & shut down all running apps & processes.
If I start the browser now, it'll open Engadet as first page. At least mine does.
I haven't found any settings to change this behavior.
2: How do I revert to the home page when the browser is running?
Do I really have to navigate backwards one page at a time?
Any & all inputs sincerely appreciated.
Regards
Elo

What you are experiencing now is totally normal and by default. However, to go back to home screen, you just have to press the home button once. Pressing it twice will open up the task manager

to go back to homepage, you just have to hit on the soft back button.. it is also by default
--to be honest, i find the stock browser a pain in the butt. that's why i use dolphin browser. i downloaded it from the playstore i don't mean to advertise or anything
Pressing back button doesn't take you back to home, it takes you back.
I understand the OPs issue, as I empathise with him. There is no way to exit the stock browser, so to end the program, you need to either long press the home button, and kill it, or do it through task manager. And even after doing this, the browser by default doesn't open the home page, but the last page left open - I guess it's like killing a browser with alt-ctrl-del on a PC, and the browser recovering the open tabs.
So yeah, a bit frustrating in my eyes, and it seems the only way around it would be for Samsung to add an exit button in the browser. Alternatively, I think closing your last open tab/window should close the browser app. That would make much more sense in my eyes.
Edit: I have found the fastest way to go directly to the home screen is by opening a new tab. Just click on view the tabs/windows button, then click plus. But you still have the other page in the background.
Well, i came across this option as i play with the recent apps. I already know how to use "Pin this App" as its been there from previous version. But this "Lock This App" looks new. I tried everything there is to try from locking and unlocking an apps, nothings happened. Really wish Samsung include the Mask & Lock App again as it uses fingerprint to lock individual apps without using the comolex Secure Folder.
Anyone knows how to use the option?

well, initially thats my idea about it. Then i tried everything there is to try including locking an app, then clear recent apps. it cleared the app. lock app doesn't do anything. or its just a bug on my device i suppose. thanks btw.
you get it wrong. lock apps will not get removed from the recent menu (and not removed from memory) when you hit close all!
that's all!
it is not a security feature.
Doesn't prevent swiping
I like the fact that it prevents the app from being closed with the close all button and even prevents the close all button from appearing all together. The issue I'm having is I swipe the apps to close them and "Lock this app" doesnt prevent that. Is this a glitch on my end or is this no longer possible? That's what I liked about the pin app feature in previous version, as I use several apps at once, like music apps in the background while working on projects, etc. So if I swipe 1 or 2 apps away, sometimes I go so fast I swipe the music away instead and stops my momentum. The recent apps section helps unless I use more than 4 apps. :laugh:
