Is anyone else having issues with Facebook and messenger apps since rooting? It's the only thing I'm having problems with. The apps try to start but immediately crash before the login screen even appears. I'm using a clean install rooted 11b,not the upgrade option, I've tried clearing any and all fb files and folders from my device, clearing cache and deleting data, no change in fb apps, instant crash. And they were installed before almost everything else except busy box. Any ideas? Thanks in advanced!

Facebook working great here, don't use messenger so can't answer that sorry
Messenger working great here. While I don't use facebook, the other user confirmed that's good too. Try rebooting. That fixed an issue of mine after completing the process.
Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.. I had a similar issue with instagram and a simple uninstall/reinstall fixed my issue.

Nope, reboots and reinstalls didn't work sadly.
I typically don't use Messenger from the app, but I installed it to see if I have any issues and it is working well.
I would re-run your root process. I have seen this before. Something didn't quite gel on the first go-around that running it again might help.
Clean stock flash, then 11B root upgrade.

Basically what I ended up doing. Facebook wasn't the only thing not working as it turns out, Titanium Backup wasn't recognizing all the backups, out of the 140 backups I had, it was only finding 31. So I ended up doing a refurbish with a stock unrooted 11B erasing everything for a true clean start, then doing an upgrade with the rooted 11B and now everything is running smoothly. Facebook, messenger, Titanium Backup, all good. I'm not sure, but it might have been something to do with the fact that I was on 10B and tried to do the upgrade option with rooted 11B, but others say they had no problems upgrading from 10B to rooted 11B. So I don't know what happened, but it's good now, just in case anyone else is having random issues, maybe this will help you.
Thank you guys for the help and ideas!!!

I'm on 1.1 pre-rooted ROM and my gmail was working OK but somehow today it stops syncing and if i manually refresh inbox it just closes. I tried clear data but no luck. Does anyone know how to fix?
Many thanks!

Ditto, Jiang. My gmail started acting flaky last night. Crashes anytime i hit refresh inbox; randomly closes whatever message i happen to be viewing or composing; and reverts to previous viewers message when refresh does happen to work.
Afraid to wipe data with titanium for fear of even bigger probe
Any takers?
Same here. Subscribed.

I have had this issue since I upgraded. I have tried clearing data, uninstalling and reinstalling, even restored a nandroid of 1.0.1 and then reflashing 1.1.0. Nothing has helped so far. Hopefully somebody else comes up with a solution...I don’t really like L8 which is what I have switched to at this point.
I have the same problem. Started when I upgraded.
Same issue. New NC with 1.0.1, used autonooter. Gmail worked fine. Then flashed pre-rooted 1.1. Gmail flaked out.
Same problem here. Gmail just started flaking yesterday afternoon after working fine for a week.
On 1.1 rooted with unofficial AN3.0.
I tried wiping data for all gapps in tibu, also tried adding same account again... all other gapps working fine.
Getting FC's when hitting Archive, and Gmail wont sync at all.
Same here, since the 1.1 r2 update, FC on open, even after data wipe.
Had the same problem with Reader, and "un install / re install" fixed it, but I'm not sure it can be done without any consequences with the gmail apps (wouldn't the google account be wiped as well causing problems?)
I use K-9 mail for now, but I'd like to get gmail running again...
Has anyone found a fix for this? My Gmail is totally hosed up and useless at this point... which just plain sucks!
I've tried reflashing all of the 1.1 gapps using CWM, then wiping data for both the Gmail app and gmail storage app, and then finall deleting the apk and replacing it via adb... but, nothing works! FC's whenever I try to archive or refresh, and shows inbox from two weeks ago... Uhgg!
I recently upgraded to GSB v2.1 from my previously non-rooted bog standard Eris and am amazed by what I had been missing out for. I'm still pretty much a complete newbie to the whole custom ROM thing though, and have a few questions that may be quite stupid.
1) I'm getting force close crashes w/ the Facebook app. It'll load for a second and I'll see my news page, then force close comes up. Do I just need to reinstall or ... ? Edit: Facebook seems to be loading now, without force close issues. The problem was very repeatable (every time I tried to open the app!) last night, but seems gone today. Ah well, good riddance!
2) While trying to play a vid from Youtube, the sound is working flawlessly but the video doesn't seem to be advancing. I can move forward manually but all I get are still pictures from the video. This is using the browser that came with GSB; I haven't yet tried to get any other apps.
3) My wife's phone seriously needs this too, but she's leery of wiping her phone of apps. What's the best way to backup apps from a non-rooted Eris?
Thanks in advance for any answers you guys can provide!
Download titanium backup for the apps I'm new at this too I'm unsure about your problems with Facebook and YouTube did you wipe the dalvik cache?
Sent from my Ginger Tazz using Tapatalk
I did wipe the cache, although like I said, I haven't put any apps on here yet, so no harm in just wiping it all again and reflashing the rom to make sure it works. Thanks for the titanium backup tip!
No problem gsb is a great rom these Eris devs do awesome work I use gsb 2.0 no problems I'm trying Ginger tazz now I think battery life may be a little better but both are excellent. You should totally hook your wife's phone up too

I think the Youtube thing is a known issue, and I'm guessing that it's just because Cyanogen Mod 7 isn't completely done yet, so maybe it'll be worked out over time.

Just to let you know, you can wipe the Dalvik cache any time you want to, even after loading apps. It'll just longer to rebuild it when you reboot, but it can help solve issues sometimes.
Welcome to rooting!
That's great to hear! Well, it's not great that youtube doesn't work 100%, but at least it's not some weird problem particular to me. Lol.
I have to say, I really really have grown to like this ROM very fast. My wife is clamoring for it even knowing she's gonna lose all her apps. Any tips on how I set my contacts to import Facebook profile pics now? I did it before, but have no clue where that was or where it may have moved to now.

best option i found for backing up my wife's apps before flashing from stock was to use "universal androot" to root (it is a software root so there is no rebooting or flashing or really any risk of loosing aps). then you can install titanium backup. it will even backup protected files since you have root. when titanium backup loads, hit menu->batch and pick the backup all new apps and newer versions. after flashing, load titanium backup, menu-> batch and pick restore all missing apps (i restored them with data, but many people have had to install the app only and then put back in the other info). FYI i rooted several (5) phones this way. if you install rom manager from the market and install a recovery (clockwork or amon's) from the rom manager, you can turn phone off, then hold vol down and power on to boot to recovery. from there you can wipe and flash. it is the easiest way to root and flash a new rom imho.
sorry figured i should answer your post i quoted. lol. if under menu-> accounts and sync->add account->facebook. input your info and select sync all or sync current contacts. it should pull in the information. if you have different names for people in your contacts and your facebook (ex "wife" in your contacts and "jane" on facebook) you can "sync all contacts" and manually link them. contacts->long press on contact->edit contact->menu->join. this should link you contacts with their facebook info. the facebook pics will sync it just takes a good bit of time sometimes.
It seems that many, if not all, of the apps I try to 'update' in the Android market generates an error on the Prime that says 'Application already exists' in the menu bar with an ! icon. This is annoying... I can uninstall / reinstall the app to get an update, but whenever I just click update in the Market, I get this error a lot.
Of course the application already exists! I'm updating it. Stupid Prime.
Does anyone have a fix for this? I searched the forum and didn't see anyone mention this annoying problem.
Are you getting system reboots?
Rumour has it the system reboots are a result of a failure while optimizing apps for ICS during the upgrade process.
Sounds like perhaps your OSs view of your apps is a little messed up...

No. Actually, I seem to have the least amount of problems with the Prime compared to most on the forum. Really, this issue and the weak GPS signal are the only ones I've had. Well, and the decreased wifi bandwidth when streaming bluetooth. But everything else generally runs smooth.
Two apps for example that I had this issue with... updating Google Voice and eTrade. Both of those for sure gave me the error that the app already existed. Uninstalling and reinstalling worked fine to grab the latest version.
Actually, I take that back. Sometimes when I do an uninstall / reinstall, it still says there is an update available.

Unfortunately I have the same issue. I haven't found a good way to work around it yet. As you have found sometimes uninstalling works and sometimes not.
Sometimes uninstalling it, rebooting the Prime, then reinstalling it works. Although, that's still sometimes as far as I can tell.
I've just started getting this issue when trying to update Officesuite Pro, first time it's happened.
Oddly enough when first typing this reply my Prime locked up and rebooted itself, which it's not done before.
Never had a reboot under ICS, at least not yet. But quite frequently have this problem. So I guess there is no correlation between the two.
The only anomalies that I experience are Skype or Talk video calls that suddenly die. No FC or any other message, Skype or Talk just exit.
I bet these types of problems will go away with a root and a custom rom in the future. Wish Asus would release the bootloader unlocking tool already!
Try clearing the dalvik cache?

Can you do that on a non-rooted Prime? I'm just waiting for the official unlock tool to go through that process.
This has happened to me on select apps too. Particularly xe app and officesuite pro. Can't seam to update them to the current version no matter what I do. Unistall/reinstall, clear delvik, and clear market data hasn't worked for me

I have the same problem, and i tried everything but it didn't work
Yeah... right now for me, it's Google Voice. And the worst part is, you can't get it to stop saying it's updating the market app even though it stops almost immediately. Annoying.
I get this sometimes, but I press update again and it updates fine

Random reboot is a normal way of life with android. A reboot here or there is nothing to worry about. Most of the time its from a bad app you installed. Now if you rebooting several times a day, then that's a problem. Its actually good to reboot or at least power down n then back on device every once in a while. It'll give device a fresh start on RAM and clear any mishaps that may have or could occur. Same deal with Ipad. They recommend rebooting every now n then for a fresh start and to have more ram available for use.
I haven't had this happen on my Prime, but I was having this same issue today on my Sprint GSII.
Not sure if this is a work around, but it just worked for me. Instead of updating the app from the 'my apps' section of the market, I went to the page in the market with the full app description. I clicked the update link there and it installed fine. I'll have to test this theory out more.
i too am facing similar probs. while updating WhatsApp and Skype too it shows that the application is already existing.
pls. note. both WhatsApp and Skype are under different Accounts
can this cause a prob that previously i would have installed it by 1 account and later on by another account when i changed the phone ?
pls. guide.
Hello there.
Sorry to bother you, but I'm having some really serious problems. I am using a Oneplus One, though I don't think the problem is device specific. Every time I open a conversation in the messaging app, it crashes. I thought no big deal, I'll just download another messaging app. I tried Chomp, Textra, and Google Messanger. All of them had similar problems; they would crash. It seems to be a problem with the app trying to call conversations from the phone. I also cannot receive any messages. I can, however send them via Google now. I am using sultanxda's MarshMallow ROM, which is amazing. This problem is not, however rom specific. The first CM13 nightlies recently came out so I decided to test it out. I dirty flashed it and encountered the same provlem. I then clean flashed it and it worked fine. So I decided to experiment. I restored my sultan backup and wiped the system partition, then dirty flashed the sultan rom again. The messaging app worked fine, but I had problems with Google Play services and android.phone crashing. Then restored sultan again and this time did a factory reset(TWRP style). Again, messaging worked fine. I believe the problem to be some kind of root enabled app, but I have not idea what it could be. Disabling root also doesn't help, so that might not be the problem after all. The only root apps I have are Xposed, lucky patcher, and Awesome Pop-Out Videos. Uninstalling these don't help either. I know this is a complicated question, but I really need help. If I don't get an answer soon, I'll just have to factory reset and start over. Please help me if you can!
So not mention lucky patcher. You will not find any help with it installed.
With out the proper troubleshooting on your part there is nothing that can be done. A logcat will tell you what is causing it.
I updated to Marshmallow using the kdz and tot method, got root no issues. Phone works great, installed su, Xposed V84, again no issues. Was able to restore most of my apps via TiBu, again no issues (except a few minor ones). I'm running Nova Prime for launcher.
I have G4 Tweaks installed and running no issues. BUT, I have no second screen! It happened last night out of the blue. Not sure what is going on or why it happened. It is simply not there either when screen is on or off. I did freeze some apps via TiBu but nothing other than the standard bloat stuff.
I went back to my original, 1st backup before I modded anything and the second screen was there.
Any ideas??
Xposed breaks 2nd screen. There's a fix but I dont know what thread or how to do it since I dont used Xposed.
Just pointing you in the right direction.
Thanks, latest version does not have the issue as I understand so I don't think that's the issue

Xposed 84+ should fix any of the issues with LG software... it's been the case for me, as I currently have a fully functional device with root, Xposed, and all the while being on MM. I haven't seen anyone come across anything like your issue, so you may have to do what I just did to narrow down my issue with WiFi calling and that was to install groups of things and doing a backup in between each group until you can narrow it down. luckily you have a backup where everything was functional that you can start off on. if you do find the culprit, I'd be curious to hear what it was. for my broken WiFi calling, it happened after installing busybox.

This may be a case by case scenario. Xposed 84 almost with certainty, broke my second screen and I had to flash the second screen fix in order to remedy the situation. Been working like a dream ever since.

Thanks guys. Yes definitely a unique experience I'm thinking. I worked my way back from my 1st backup after installing MM. Installed a bit at a time, backed up and kept going. I'm now fully where I want to be and all is well. I did not restore anything from TiBu except some of my basic app data (messaging, phone logs etc). Everything else I did a clean install from Google Play.
If I had to guess, something that I restored the first time via TiBu likely borked the second screen somehow though I really do not what or how.
My best advice to all, be patient! Go slow, install backup, install backup etc.
