Dialer is gone....

Ive installed a couple roms calks evio and sprint lovers and both of them worked perfectly then just randomly my dialer (phone app) went away and the only way I can get it back is re-flash the rom. Whys this happening any help?

I couldn't tell ya. Re-flash to get it back. Are you on any custom kernel?

Yeah but it sites it on stock kernel too and it's not just the phone dialer it randomly happens with other specific apps like nba gametime

When you re-flash, do you do so on a clean install?

No I just wipe cache and it works but I think the problem is my new launcher, this started happening after I installed lg home launcher

[Q]Every ROM I flash FC's launchers and slows to a crawl for no reason.

So every time I flash I wipe data/cache/Dalvik/Battstats. I was using CWM2 for a while and when every ROM continued to slow down and lock up I tried upgrading to CWM3, narrowing my ROM choices but not solving the problem. Whenever I flash, my phone will return to it's snappy self for a varying amount of time before crapping out again. I've tried Sense, AOSP, Evo, and Z ROMs and all behave the same for no apparent reason. What am I doing wrong? My phone used to be lightning quick, I sampled many ROMs and kernels without incident, only experimented with OC briefly, and all of a sudden it's gotten painfully slow no matter what i do. Please help me make my Incredible, "incredible" again

Is it still slow on the Stock ROM? If you haven't tried that already, I would try that. It's possible something else may be wrong with the phone if you've tried many different ROMS and all do the same thing. Do you have all the same apps installed as well, or are they different for the most part?

try fixing permissions

Try wiping your SD card and when you sign in your gmail account don't let it restore all of your apps. Setcpu is also a good investment if you have not already purchased it

Nope, doesn't delete anything.

This seems to have fixed the problem, thank you so much.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Actually, on closer inspection, the permission fix only temporarily stopped the issue. I even switched to the nearly stock Nothing Special Peanut ROM and I still got a FC from Sense. Is my phone a dud?

How are you restoring apps? I would wipe everything and flash a fresh ROM. does it freeze up now? If not, my $$ is on a rogue app that doesn't like playing with your phone.

Hmm I just flashed OMFGB w/o restoring my apps. The only things I've installed are the Google Apps, Google Voice (which is my primary method of communication), XDA, and SetCPU. The fcs seem random, not tied to any particular action. They even happen when I'm not doing anything on the phone. Any ideas?
Thanks for the help everyone.

update: I think the problem stemmed from using the SetCPU widget with the refresh rate set to 5 seconds. Not sure if changing the setting makes a difference, but removing the widget from my home screen has solved all the issues insofar. We'll see if it takes this time.

setcpu is always a "use with caution" kind of app. you can get great results, but it's mostly educated trial and error with your rom/kernel combination.

Notification sounds not working

Starting today none of my notification sounds work. Not texts, email, etc. I even uninstalled handcent and installed go sms and nothing. When I try to pick a sound it just freezes. Ringdroid freezes when I hit the play button. If I try to change the sound through menu settings I get a settings force close.
I reinstalled the rom and kernel, fixed permissions, wiped caches and nothing. Other audio works.
I am running srf 1.2 with genocide 1.1 kernel.
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Any ideas?

Did this happen after you installed the kernel or rom? If so that might be something to consider
Sent from my old but still kickin Epic 4g

Mine stopped working because I forgot to follow a step in the guide it was
" If you are not on an EC05 rom or SyndicateROM Frozen 1.0.1/1.0.2/1.1.0/1.1.1: Use Odinto flash the EC05 modem. UNCHECK EVERYTHING EXCEPT "AUTO REBOOT". Ensure you are on CWM3.1.0.1. Wipe data for best results, and flash the ROM. "
Hope it helps

My fix was I went into CWM and cleared cache, wiped dalvik, then fixed permissions. works again =)

Its either a Voodoo issue or something in the kernel. Rodderik is aware of the issue and looking into it. A simple reboot will fix it sometimes otherwise, ehat Shoulon said

I tired twilight kernel and installed voodoo from market and no help. The notification works once then stops. Ring droid does not work at all.
Any ideas?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

I had this problem once SRF 1.1.1 when I was on it. I had to back up my SD card and format it on my PC; then copied all important files back to card.

I tried this and it did not help. No matter what kernel I use notifications and ring droid do not work

Force closing

How do I find out which Android process is force closing? It happens every time I restart my phone. It doesn't happen too often but it happens at least once every time I restart. The notification does not say which process, it only says Android process. Sometimes my default keyboard, swiftkey x, is replaced by swype after force closing the Android process. Thanks in advance.
Edit: it actually says the application Android system force closes
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

That actually means "Android System" is force closing. I know useful right? I don't remember where to get the information that might help figure out why but typically a full wipe and a reflash will take care of it.

yea you may have deleted something thats acting up or maybe you installed something your phone is not happy with. I would try to do as the poster above said or run fix permissions in recovery or Rom Manager and see what happens

Are you on an EL13 build? What is your exact setup? If its EL, I may know why.

Yes I'm on calks 2.5, so I'm on el13. Also I don't mind reflashing and a wipe, but if there is an easier way, I would prefer to do that.

I do know that undervolting was causing a lot of people to have reboots including myself. I reduced it from 75 to 50. Also did you use Titanium Backup to restore data to your apps. That also causes some issues

I have neither manually undervolted my phone nor backed it up using titanium, so i dont think its from that

I was told that the Android System is calling a file that doesn't exist on EL13. Is it only when you power on phone? Strongsteve found it and fixed it on his ROM but I don't have the knowledge to locate it myself. Is 2.5 Calk's latest update? If he has a newer build, you may want to update. Maybe he found it and fixed it as well.

Since installing Calkulin's 2.6 and EL13, Google Maps has been force closing on me after reboots. I'll be watching this in case it's a related issue.

Browser issues.

Hi guys, I got this device today, rooted using Odin, and am currently using stock rom and kernel(4.1.2) my stock browser worked fine for the first few hours after I rooted and then seriously out of the blue it started giving me app not responding toast and closes. Any ideas what may have caused this? I deleted a few of the bloatware apps with TB but didnt delete anything having to do with the browser or data connectivity. I even left google talk alone and I always get rid of it. Any suggestions?

Try wiping cache and davlik cache in recovery and fixing permissions. That's always the first place to start.
Also, its always best to just freeze bloat. And after a bit, if all is well, then uninstall.

I tried that after I posted, still no go. I think I may just nandroid back to before it started misbehaving and see if it happens again.
Edit: im a dumb a$$. I changed my screen density to 200. Thats why its crashing. I wonder if there is something I can do to edit the apk its self so it doesn't crash because of density.
