CM7 - Most Apps Force Closing

Hey guys,
I just flashed the CM7 RC, which CM stated to pretty stable and fine for everyday use. I downloaded the RC from within ROM Manager and did a wipe. Install went perfect and everything was as it should be. I then go into Market to download the Google Apps. When I try to open any of these apps though they all force close. I went and tried to download a few other apps(FB, Twitter, etc) and they all do the same. The apps that came with the ROM (Torch, FileManager,ROM Manager) all work fine...
I tried a reboot, but the problems continue.
I guess I'll try to flash again form the SD-Card this time to see if it has the same problems.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Incredible510

Read through the development thread, people are having problems with rc 1 build.
For the time being, im sticking to nightliessince they are stable most of the time.

Ok thanks.
Do you know the differences between the RC and the nightly builds?

From what i have gathered, nightlies continue to be in development wirh new rhings being added. Rc are bundled wirh the most best applicable things and left as is...or to shiw what the final build will look like.
Nightlies continue even after final build most of the time.
A senior member might want to chime in on this as well.
Edit....in newer builds my simeji app seems to be colliding with android keyboard ap via adw launcher...dont know what to do haha.

Apps will FC because its gingerbread. Also this is a known problem with GB and CM7.

Oh ok. So its on the app side.
So i went and downloaded it again, this time flashing from the SD-Card. Everything came up fine, but when I started up I didnt go through a google account setup and theres no market.
Any way to get the market app?
Thanks

Here is the deal, first the permissions are not right when you are getting the FCs. Go into rom manager and click fix permissions. Also I thought this forum had intelligent members .... gingerbread is not to blame for any force closing. It is completely backwards compatible. I am running CM7 RC and it is working after 2 tries and fixed permissions. No problems.

And you forgot to download the Google apps package with your CM7. You will have to redownload and reinstall to get the market back on until they release a separate Google apps add on for GB

Ok thanks, but where is that Google Apps Package download?
It came with the download from ROM Manager, but not when I downloaded it from CM's site(http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/file/220-update-cm-700-rc1-inc-signedzip/).
If you could direct me to the download that includes the GApps it would be really appreciated it.
Thanks.

Thank You So Much!
This fixed all problems.

I'm also running CM7 RC1 with zero problems. When I first installed it, I got tons of FC's on the first boot. I rebooted into recovery and did a factory reset. After that, everything has been running fantastic.

Everything has been fine for me running cm 7. Now today, force closes on anything internet related. Browsers, reader, market etc... Have fixed permissions, flashed clean on a factory reset. Any ideas?? Also are there other apps that fix permissions besides rom manager?
Edit: Got everything working off a clean install. Oh and cwrecovery fixes permissions (face palm).

Maybe unrelated but why does setcpu never give an accurate core speed report using the widget? Example: two hours ago I set the CPU to 1113 to test neocore. After the test I idled it back down to 998. The widget never updated and now two hours later it still hasn't updated and it still says its at 1113. The only way to get the widget to reflect my current setting is to remove it and then place it back on the screen.

[Q] How to fix GPS on GM7 RC1?!

I've been having issues with the GPS. No satellite icon pops up when I have the GPS enabled. GPS Status would run but appears to not be able to lock onto any satellites.
Read into some fix in the CM7 RC1 thread about the gps.vision file. Tried pushing through ADB. Rebooted, didn't work. Downloaded Super Manager, deleted the file and put in the file once more. It did not work.
harriz said:
GPS doesnt work for me, tried the fix and it kind of made things worse, now GPS status just force closes on me.
Glad the fix worked for others though.

Now, I have the same problem as this user. I cannot even open GPS Status anymore. I tried what seems to be the only fix on the forum. How can I fix the GPS? This is an essential function!

My GPS also wasn't working on RC1. I fixed it by flashed the nightly that came out after RC1 (#1) and instantly fixed my problem. Heck when I tried the navigation in less than 5 seconds it already started to work . This is the nightly I flashed btw, you can flash it right over the RC1 (I wiped cache and dalvik though) http://mirror.teamdouche.net/get/cm_vision_full-1.zip

Thanks I'll try it!
EDIT: IT WORKS! +1 to you!! I didn't wipe dalvik cause I forgot and that might've caused my Swype to act up. It kept force closing on me after I flashed the nightly. I had to uninstall Swype and then installed it again. Everything seems to work now!! THANKS A LOT!!

I believe they fixed the GPS in build #41, which was right after RC1. They were trying out some experimental builds for the GPS that messed it up for many people in the late #30's and up to the RC1.

[Q] Problems after flashing rooted Gingerbread.

I rooted my EVO and flashed radio 'EVO_Radio_2.15.00.05.02_WiMAX_27243_PRI_2.15_003.zip'
Then I flashed a rooted stock gingerbread/sense ROM 'supersonic_4.22.651.2_deodexed-signed.zip'
Problem 1: I reinstalled a bunch of my apps using Titanium Backup, but none of these apps are showing up in the Market.
Problem 2: I cannot sync Facebook for HTC Sense. Whenever I try to sign in, I keep getting the error "The service is currently unavailable. Do you want to try again?"
I have tried all sorts of things like uninstalling all Facebook for Android updates and even a supposed fix I found in other forums in which you edit your work information on your facebook profile. Nothing seems to work.
Can anyone help?

For the apps not showing up in your market it takes time and a reboot or two. The facebook thing I'm not sure about though, it wouldn't work right for me from day one so I haven't tried to use it in awhile.

Why do people need their apps to show up in the market if they already have them reinstalled with TB??

I just find it helpful to see which apps need updating. It's definitely not essential.

For the apps download a free app from the market and they should show up they did for me.

Normal when flashing a rom. Give it a few reboots and wait a day or so.

Thanks a lot guys. Today was my first experience with flashing. I can see why it's addicting.

I have a different problem after I flashed to the latest Gingerbread ROM, (on my eVO 4G btw). I flashed the latest ROM "gingerbread evo 1.2v", when that finished i flashed "EVO_Radio_2.15.00.05.02_WiMAX_27243_PRI_2.15_003" (was told it should fix any radio issues). then flashed "gapps 5-21-2011 with Voicemail.apk and Gtalk 1.3 with Voice and Video". My EVO restarted fine but now i cant make any calls or recieve any. In fact the status bar at the top isn't even there. When i press the phone icon i get a message saying "Application not installed on your phone". I must be missing a step or something. Any help would be great, thanks.

I read in another forum you sometimes need to re-flash the kernel after flashing new radios. You could try re-flashing the ROM now that you have the updated radios.

just tried flashing the rom after everything else and still same results. Any other suggestions?

I'm new to flashing ROMs personally, but I've also read people recommending to do a clean wipe 2 or 3 times and wipe the dalvik cache as many times before flashing again. I don't know what sort of issues they feel they are preventing by doing that so I don't know how plausible of a solution it is, but if you've got the time it wouldn't hurt to try.
Hopefully someone with more experience will chime in and you won't have to get your advice from a noob. Best of luck.

Google auto backup/reinstall of apps

Hello all,
I remember something about google automatically backing up all my apps when I first set up my phone and/or market access. I have also heard of apps being automatically reinstalled after members on this board have flashed new roms and wiped all data. I have never had this happen to me but it would be super convenient.
Is there anything I can do to activate that feature?
Thanks.

Yep install a aosp ROM .... cm9 aokp codename miui etc
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

if you are not running a cyn mod or AKOP, I suggest you use Titanium Backup to rip the apks into an archive where you can reinstall them if anything happens.

Thanks both but I installed cm9 and that didn't happen. Any ideas?

I've been a little confused on the exact procedure myself, and have felt super lucky when it just...works. lol
I do know this: if your on a gingerbread rom or even ics, once you let the market update to Google play after a wipe/flash, log in to your Gmail, press menu>my apps> slide over one pane and you will see every app you've ever downloaded under that Gmail. I found apps from like 2009 lmfao

telenav navigation help!

Here recently, when I use telenav navigation it will start to navigate for a little while and then it will just stop and turn off by itself. It does this on every Rom I have tried in the past month. I'm currently running the jackpot Rom. I like telenav over Google as well, so I would like to see if someone knows how to fix it. I've even tried uninstalling and down loading straight from the market and it does the same thing.

Fix permissions.
Sent from my Motorola StarTac magically running ICS

Try wiping Cache and Dalvik then fixing permissions... Fastest way you can do all of that from AmonRa recovery then reboot

Tried that through amon, I also tried fixing permissions through Rom manager.and that didn't fix it either. When I open telenav, I can choose a route and then it will say getting route. Then when I hit navigate, it will start to give me the directions then it will just shut off.

Are u restoring through titanium or a fresh market install. Have u tried deleting the data folder for telenav off of your SD? Have u tried the ##GPSCLRX#
Just a few suggestions. Good luck.

I tried restoring through titanium backup but that did not work. I also tried doing a fresh download from the market and it will work for a little while until I open it again, then it will stop working. I went from MikG to the updated Energy ROM so in doing so I partitioned my SD card wiping everything off and wiping everything before installing Energy, then it did the same thing. So when Karma Jackpot came out I went to that, again, clearing everything off my SD card and doing a fresh install......and it does the same thing. I can run an old version of telenav with no problems at all. I cant figure out what to try next.....What is the ##GPSCLRX#? I may try that and see what happens.

Hey Randy try this fix

I just deleted the telenav folder and uninstalled telenav.....then I did the ##GPSCLRX# trick. Rebooted phone and downloaded telenav from the market. Turned on GPS and opened telenav. Accepted the terms and it started downloading the files and got to 12% and cut off....it did this 2 times. Finally it downloaded all the files and it started up. I punched in a location near my home to see if it will work. It found the location and said "getting fastest route", then it just shut off. CRAP! I can do TB to the older version and it works, but I really want to get the new version working as I like it better than google maps. By the way, my wifes phone is not rooted and it works perfect.....pisses me off!

Thanks, gonna try it right now!

Well, flashed the fix above, rebooted phone then tried it again.........still cuts off. I dont get it.

probably need full wipe x3, reflash ROM, let it settle about 10 min then try again. it works for me most of the time...good luck

Try that method Badjoe suggested... Go into recovery and wipe EVERYTHING with the EXCEPTION of your Secure Digital Card... And just for good meassures you can even reflash your Rom. The Only downside to all that is that you'll have to start all over again but your GPS problem will very likely be fix and you can be on your way.

I wiped cache and dalvick cache 3 times and reflashed the ROM. Telenav now works. Thanks button hit for both of you. Thanks guys! :good:
