So my friend has a Dinc and not so much knowledge of phones. i tell her about the awesomesauce of root and she tells me to take care of her phone. so i root it with revoked (not the forever one) and start tweaking. ok, tweaking done - LauncherPro, Swype, Handcent, SetCPU, autokiller, adfree, etc etc. all was fine for about 2-3 weeks until this morning she wakes up to swype/launcherpro/handcent force closing and all her contacts are gone...she said it reverted back to all old settings.
possible update from verizon?
i'm in CT and she's in NJ, so i can't exactly take a look at the phone. any ideas as to what could have happened? she WAS drunk as fck last night.
android market shows no apps in downloads. and unable to search for anything.......
First, it's kind of silly to customize a phone so heavily for a person who has no clue how to support it when you're too far away to support it.
Second, I hope you taught her how to nandroid because it sounds like she's going to need to restore. The only thing I can think of that would fix the issues would be to fix permissions and reboot the phone... I can't really think of any settings that would cause those issues.
crap. well agreed on the first part...second part i should have thought to make a backup when i finished...which i didn't. the few things i did didn't seem like much really.
i think something happened while drunk...which could be anything...but now i'm not sure what to have her do. she lost all her contacts so i guess it doesn't matter if i have to have her reflash some basic rom.

Did she lose the contacts from her Gmail account, or just from the phone? They will be restored if not lost from Gmail when she gets it back up and running.
there's really no such thing as "just a basic rom" nowadays. devs put a lot of effort and time and code into them, what you should do is some research and have her reinstall a STABLE rom . either way there should have been some sort of backup made, lol, otherwise id say you're a ****ty friend and has every right to be pissed at you lol. with that said have her try to get into recovery and restore a backup.

Thanks for the couple of ideas, but like I said, there is no backup to fall back on. The two things I missed while tweaking her phone was the initial backup and showing her how to restore. I'm not new to this, but not perfect.
Past those obvious mistakes, pointed out many times, right now a few things have changed. Astro no longer works either, and she can't reinstall anything because the market is blank. She did get some contacts back somehow. Is there a way to replace the market to fix it?

You could have her try installing alternative markets like applanet...if it doesn't crash on the install or launch of the app...then she should be able to get the ball rolling on a resolution... might I add, applanet is just an example of an alt market... google alternative markets, you should easily find five or six different ones... if that fails... try apktor.....

Have your friend RUU the phone. If they use Google services the contacts will be restored.
She doesn't use enough google services to get everything back...told her to usaa them for contacts at least.
Will a factory reset do the trick? She's prepared for the consequences.

Did you load up Titanium backup for her? How about Backup Assistant?
In any event, a hard reset may fix the issues - just trying to help you save some of her data / contacts.

That only happens if the contacts are Google Contacts, not Phone Contacts. IIRC, all new contacts are Phone contacts by default.
On a more serious note, this sound very familiar to something I ran into while flashing a new ROM on vacation (Note to self, dont disturb a perfectly stable phone while 800 miles away from home!). Everything I tried to run seemed to FC and I couldn't get into the market or an alternative to download fresh copies of apps. I ended up reflashing the ROM, I dont remember if I tried a factory reset or not but ultimately it sounds like a wipe and clean install of a stable ROM is your best friend right now (unlike your current status with her lol).
I just recently have been experiencing a very annoying problem and I'm not sure the cause. At first I was using Handcent, and now I'm using Go SMS. When I receive a text, the app freezes completely and I can't open it back up without rebooting my phone. I'm using everything stock except the launcher (Launcher Pro), but I doubt that has anything to do with it. The default messaging app will show a blank conversation list and when I try to write a new message, it's dial-up internet slow (yeah, THAT slow!). The only solution I seem to be able to find is flashing the phone or just trading it in for another one.... Don't really wanna do that so it would be great it someone could help me find a solution! Thanks!
I've had a similar experience. And when you say stock, do you mean as in unrooted, or like sprint lovers? But try this uninstall both go and handcent from your phone, reboot, then re-install one and try it. You're rooted, and on CM7 [happened when I was, no more though] do a clean install, wipe everything, flash the latest gapps, and then install the app.
Oh sorry, unrooted. I wouldn't say Sprint Lovers either, more like too lazy to root lol. But anyways, yeah, it's just unrooted. I've uninstalled handcent and reinstalled it twice already with the same results. I haven't tried uninsalling go sms, but since the same thing is happening I figure it's not the apps fault, but perhaps something going on with the phone itself.
Under those circumstances, I think a quick factory reset, as much as a pain it'd be, would clear it up. But look into mybackup in the market. I think its a backup for apps for non-rooted users and I believe free, that way you can just restore since you can't use titanium backup.
Aw... Well it looks that way. Thanks for your help. I'll look into that backup app. I'll let you know how that goes.
Anytime man, hope it turns out well. I'll be around if ya need anything else.
So this has probably been posted somewhere and im probably breaking some moral codes of the forum... and yeah im my world is going to literally fall apart if my problem doesnt get solved and its THE MOST important post on the forum just like every other post.
but. Im running SyndicateRom frozen 1.1.0 and i started getting these google.framework yadda yadda force closes....those are not so much the problem but annoyances.
My problem is that i go to boot my phone this morning... notice theres no new texts...which i expected at least one. go to open the messaging and BAM forceclose. no options to wait. the menu only flashes saying fc and sends me back to homescreen. after a while a little 9 appears over the messaging. Idc if i have to reflash my whole phone....i just want those 9 messages how can i retrieve them?
or rather is there a place in the phone where the sms' are stored in which i can back up to a compy and view or in the phone after a reflash it?
im desperate with curiosity. i never get 9 messages and they may be important.
TL: DR Messaging FC. want messages i received before wiping.

Have you tried to go to settings -> applications -> manage and clear data for your SMS app?
Yeah... it was to no avail
Grab an SMS app like Handcent from the Market.
I have a feeling your /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db is jacked. See if u can open it. This is where all ur txts are stored.

i got as far as /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony and nothing shows up after that?
If you cleared the data/cache for the messaging app and it's still happening you're probably gonna have to re-flash. This happened to me once and that was my only fix. You can try backing up the messages in Titanium but if you're getting force closes I don't know if that'll help.
I am having the same issue as well. I am running syndicate rom frozen 1.1.0 with the vision kernal 1.1. A few days after The first time I flashed the rom and kernal I got the numerous force closes. So I wipe the device, cache and dalvik reflashed the rom and kernal but I only restored my apps with data using titanium backup and not the system data. Now I am just getting the force close with my messages.
i ran into this and was instructed by our wonderful mod to go advanced>fix permissions in cwm. worked beautifully, and i was just about to wipe everything
I did this...then everything died.
Once i booted back up EVERYTHING and its mother started FCing from launcher pro to keyboard to google framework to clocks....everything.
I had no choice but to reflash. Fingers crossed this round.

Sounds like bad data. I had this same exact thing happen to me. I was being a lazy ass and not shutting down properly before switching batteries. I reflashed SFR 1.1.0 and shut down properly now and have not had a problem since. Maybe a similar scenario is corrupting your data.

Thanks for this. My gf started to freak out when this started to happen to her was thinking flash was only way to fix. I ran fix permissions in cwm and now working again no reflash! Saved the day
Find and flash the journal on zip to decrease the chances you will get this again. It usually caused by an improper shutdown.including running the battery all the way down.

I recently restored, locked, and went completely stock again to test out a few things and I have realized that the device no longer automatically sends my apps to the phone as it previously did. Is there a setting in the account im missing or anything I can do? Its a pain to have to go download all of them one by one
Yeah, i have this problem aswell.. Anybody knows what's up?

Mine did the same thing, good thing I had a full backup on titanium backup to speed the process up a little bit. I was just going between ROMs though.

You have to have "back up my account with Google services" checked when first setting up the rom....

Dude.. ya think that most people don't know that?
I have the same problem. Did a clean wipe and fresh flash today, and suddenly Google Play is not syncing my apps anymore. Does fine with the contacts and everything, just not Google Play. Note: this is on a Galaxy S2, not a Nexus, but I figured it would be good to know for everyone that this does not appear to be a Nexus issue, but a Play issue.
I've noticed it depends on what Rom you use. When I was on the more stock roms it always did it but now that I'm running aokp it doesn't.

same issue had backup on stock, didn't restore to AOKP

My C2P stopped working too. I switched to Chrome2Mobile (I think is what it's called) extention on my desktop, it works again and that ext lets me send links to my iPad too.
i only ever remember this working with gingerbread on my ns4g. from ics on, the restore feature has only been good for wallpaper and wifi passwords
I found a potential fix
I want to preface this by saying I wasn't having the same problem as you all are having when I log back into my google account after flashing my apps start downloading. My issue is that after it started I ended up in area without service(subway) and then half of my apps failed. I didn't feel like clicking each and re downloading them. The only thing I could think of was signing out of my google account which supposedly wipes your info and then signing back in to restart the sync and it worked for me so try it out and let me know if it works for you all. If it does please Thank this is only like my 2nd post here.

Thanks for the idea, seems like it had some potential.
I tried signing out of my google account, then signing back in... and it still didn't help get the auto restore going.
Any other ideas?
..... I think I remember reading a solution to this somewhere...
I got a fresh new Note 7 few days ago, and installed Google Now Launcher as always, but it works in wierd way.
After few hours, it doen't show some widgets in home screen, neither on edit page.
When I reboot the phone, most of widgets were back but some have been missing yet.
Furthermore, in appdrawer there's no app at all.
I can run app from Google Now searchbar and home screen shortcuts, but nothing is in appdrawer.
I uninstalled and re-installed the launcher but nothing solved.
I tried to clear cashes and so on but app manager says there's no such a thing...
I have to reset my phone I guess, but that would be such a huge pain in the ass.
Does anyone esle has same problem with me? Any suggestions?
I had the same problem. Reading from the S7 area, it seems like it's Knox that is causing the problem. I believe they mentioned that you need to uninstall it. I haven't tried it. Need to do more research first before I try it myself.

That makes sense, I recall the problem occured just after me setting "secure foler". I have to visit Samsung Service Center since I don't wanna uninstall knox. Thank you very much giving me information.
Just played with it a bit more. If you don't need Secure Folder, you can just install that. Google Now Launcher will work correctly after rebooting. If, later on, you decide you would prefer Secure Folder, you can just reactivate it. I just tried it. I disabled Secure folders for now, since I really don't need it and I prefer Google Now.
