Android 4.1.2 E97020J. Stock. Rooted. Bootloader Unlocked.
I recently came from AOSP 4.3. But everything was wiped [internal SD card] and LNGPST'd to stock. [I couldn't get recovery to load my restores]
The Clock App keeps disappearing from the apps folder. I think it does its magic trick whenever i restart. I'll reload it from TIbackup and then it goes again after i restart. Any ideas how to fix this =\ ?

I've done some searching on Google and didn't find anything helpful yet. I am running a mostly stock (rooted) ED04 w/ OTB 1.6 Kernel.
When I boot up my phone, I get a FC on com.android.mms
When I go into my Messaging and open an existing message it force closes.
This phone is pretty freshly setup. ie: I had a couple text messages on my phone from yesterday. I deleted those with no effect. When I sent a text message to myself (from google voice) and opened it up, I still get the FC on com.android.mms
I booted up into CWR and ran the Fix Permissions. That didn't do any good. I went back to CWR and cleared cache and Dalvik cache. That didn't do any good. Still getting FC. Any advice? I have a logcat of the crash when I try to open the message.
Here is the logcat: http://pastebin.com/YHwYs7ur
Any help in figuring out why my text messaging is crashing would be very helpful. I've been using a Fascinate since September. The only thing I did before this started happening was Titanium Backup was set to backup the green system applications and the user applications last night.
EDIT:
Sending a text message from the phone is causing a force close too. The message does send (I sent it to myself and it showed up a moment or two later after the fore close).
I think the mms database is screwed up but I'm not sure which database it is.
EDIT #2:
Well, I ran Titanium Backup again (just user apps+data, with the reboot option enabled). The system rebooted at the end of the backup and stuck at the SAMSUNG logo and will not boot up and not even into CWM with the three finger salute. Guess I'm doing the odin dance. Damn it. I had just gotten everything setup the way I wanted it. I will be leary of the Titanium Backup rebooting and see if that had anything to do with it. (Titanium Backup rebooted last night, the phone was off by the time I got to it this morning and it turned on fine except for the text messaging FC.)
I've odin'd the CWM (05-08-2011 version) and it still just sticks at the SAMSUNG screen....so ODIN back to ED03. Blech.
Hi, I just updated my X10 from Oodie's MIUI pRIME rom ver. 6 to ver. 7. I downloaded the rom, flashed it with Oodie's cwm-based recovery, and rebooted. On entering the home screen, I noticed that the settings app was gone. I then rebooted into recovery and re-flashed the update. This time, I made a backup. When I rebooted, al,ost all my apps were gone! Only a random few like Pulse reader, file expert and foursquare were left. Everything except for the stock apps were remaining. I went to settings (which had reappeared) and checked th installed apps. All my previous apps were listed, however the icons were replaced by a black-n-white icon of the default no-icon pic, with a small word saying "sd" on the bottom right. They were also named "com.xxxxx.xxxxxx". It said that the apps could be moved to the ad card, and their data could be cleared. It also said that all those apps were in compatibility mode. Help!
Maybe the spare parts app i inserted in V7 turned everything to compatibility mode . Try going to spare parts & turn off compatibility mode .
I didn't have the issue because i haven't upgraded . A fresh install with a full wipe will resolve all issues
Didn't solve the problem. Everything stayed the same. Will try downloadin some apps, see if that helps.(
Hi
I recently installed Touchpal Dialer to replace the Android Stock Dialer (Phone). I then used Titanium Backup to uninstall the stock dialer. (I only select Phone and pressed 'Uninstall'). However in the process of uninstall, something crashed (some process stopped working) and I was stuck on Force Close (which repeatedly pops up).
So to return to Android I rebooted. However the phone can no longer detect the the SIM card (and hence the network). I tried to access Settings>Call, but I get the error "The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly".
My first thought was to restore Phone using Titanium Backup, but this seemed to be stuck (or at least it was taking excessively long >20min).
Then I reinstalled the rom but that doesn't affect the files required to detect the sim card.
How do I fix this and get my phone to be able to dial again?
Any and all help is much appreciated.

If there was a point in time when everything was working and then one change was made, the stock dialer was removed, then things stopped working, the solution would be to revert back to the working point in time.
Curious, what guide suggested the removal of the stock dialer?
As a side note, before removing files it is always best to either make a complete backup, nandroid, or to at least backup the specific file being removed so it can be quickly and easily replaced.
The main issue here seems to be the removal of the stock dialer. On the technical side of things, the dialer is a very integrated component of Android.
In AOSP, which all ROMs to some degree are based off, the dialer apk file contains not only the dialer but also browsing of contacts and links in on the back end with a few files.
Once you restore the Dialer, I think called phone.apk or something similar, the issues should go away such as FC. If there are issues accessing the SIM card after restoring the previously removed file, off the top of my head, my best guess would be to clear out the settings stored on the data partition. A setting could have been created during the dialer removed state which might prevent the system from restoring proper SIM access.
Hope that adds a bit more detail around the standard process of removing files and making adjustments!
Cheers thanks, much appreciated.
Largely the guide of my ignorance that decided to remove the stock dialer. It's only in the last half hour or so that I've just come by a guide that specifically says to *not* remove the stock dialer. In the first instance I thought it wouldn't be such a big deal as Titanium Backup could always restore it ... in which it turned out it couldn't.
So after all's said and done, is there a way (apart from Ti Backup) to restore just the stock dialer phone.apk (say by download or other)?
Another approach I'm considering is to find a way to flash a custom / stock ROM to fix this. However as my phone is unbranded and on HBOOT 1.49.0018, I'm finding this very difficult with the standard methods posted. On the other hand, ideas are starting to run out and desperation running high!

I have had this happen to me a few times, this mostly happens when you apply a mod/tweak to a rom that is not compatible. Do a wipe and re-flash the rom that you want and it should fix the problem.
Thanks so much for this, that's fixed it.
Re wiping, since you can wipe from the Recovery and installation of the rom wipes before flashing anyway, is it necessary to use a wipe img? If so, what is recommended? (As I'm on HBOOT 1.49, I seem to only be able to run CWM 4.0.1.4 Shooteru Recovery).
ROM not booting
Looks like I've dug myself into another hole again.
The 'Sim Card detection' problem was fixed with a wipe from CWM 4.0.1.4 and flashed with ShaWn3D v1.4 rom. Everything works and I was happy.
But I was keen to try out the LeeDroid rom but the WiFi error keeps recurring despite my attempts with the solutions provided at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248838.
I've tried:
- re-flashing LeeDroid with so many versions of bcm4329.ko I've lost count
- reflashing the kernel with the LeeDroid kernel addet
- re-flashing another rom altogether (King Cobra v1.9) to see if it makes a difference; it doesn't - WiFi persists.
So now I've decided to go back to the ShaWn3D rom but now although the flash is successful, the boot is stuck at the white HTC splash screen.
What have I done wrong?
Good afternoon.
Recently, I dealt with the message "The Contacts application stopped". The same with Calendar app and sometimes with the Camera app. The same issue I had with the original keyboard LG, which I did not use so I did not mind that. Basically, the message appeared only after backing up with Titanium backup before I switched back to Smart Keyboard Pro.
Deleting data of the application did not help. So I had to do a Factory reset. But that logically resulted in deleting Smart Pro Keaboard and thus I was done because LG keyboard was not working again. So I could not enter the password for Wi-Fi, could not log into my Google Account and therefore all my backups were useless (LG backup, Google backup and Titanium Backup). Now, as I write this, I get an idea to install Titanium Backup from the card, so maybe next time).
So finally I had to flash the phone. Then I restored everything (root, applications, SDfix, Folder mount, ... ) and the phone worked for about a week without any problems. Then Contacts started to stop (again: "The application Contacts stopped"). I went around by using another application for contacts. But then even Settings began to stop. For example when I need to turn on Wi-Fi, I'll hold the icon for a list of available networks and the app Settings stops. The same when I try to set the background image or when I try to access the list of applications or try to view Phone info.
Prior to these problems, the phone went over a year without any problems. I've got SafeRemover, but I just deleted useless apps like Google Music and so on. I cannot delete data of the stopping apps since I cannot get into the menu.
I do not I have any suspicious newly installed application. No task killer, booster, antivirus and similar crap I do. Just SD Maid.
I have a LG L70, Android 4.4.2 with the newest firmware from LG web. I can not find out more because Setting would stop. :-/
Do you guys have any idea how to solve the problem?
You could try an older version of the firmware.
You could also try clearing cache and dalvik cache through recovery (if possivle) or flashing custom ROMs (if available).
Thanks a lot for your replies. I don't know how to clean Dalvik cache with recovery. I tried flashing the same stock ROM again with normal flash. Other possibilities are (in this order): CSE flash with the same rom, normal flash with different stock rom, custom rom.
So after normal flashing with stock ROM everything seemed ok. I recovered some apps and setting from Google account and then I started recovering from LG backup. It ended, phone switched of and is dead. I can't switch it on, load Recovery menu neither Bootloader menu (with USB cable). So it look like a hard brick.
My notebook sees the phone as "QHSUSB_BULK" in a "non-determined device" category. I'm searching the unbrick method but I start being desperate. :-/
Hi, this is more of a warning.
I have a LG G4 H815 and I'm on lineage-14.1-20170516-nightly-h815-signed with opengapps and lineage su, was doing fine.
I previously (CM13 times) used emoji switcher (com.stevenschoen.emojiswitcher) to get the iOS emoji, so I did that again - only this time, I noticed that Threema would crash if I selected an emoji.. which should have been a hint..
..with a reboot it was fine again for a couple of hours, until it crashed again.
After a couple of days with this I though "hm, maybe I should switch to another emoji version, maybe from iOS 10.2 to 10?" , yeah after I did that and rebooted, my phone was in brick-limbo.
Firstly it seemed to have factory reset my phone - everything gone, SD card completely empty - safe for some apps, strangely. But it was also unable to connect to the internet, neither wifi nor mobile data...
The (software) buttons did not work, except for the "back" button.
Also I was unable to enable developer mode again....
I tried rebooting in various ways, tried clearing davlik.. I even looked into the SD folder from TWRP recovery... empty...
So I'm now re-flashing my phone, and I will try to get some old backup data on it - since, as I mentioned, it completely cleaned out my SD card, so no titanium backup either...
