So I wiped data, wiped cache and wiped dalvik(sp). But whenever I reinstall my rom, it automatically installs the same apps. Like the same games and stuff. I've uninstalled them, even tried file explorer and going into the sdcard and deleting the folders of said apps. I'm guessing its the google sync? How do I manage the items my google account syncs? Or is there an app to do this stuff?
Thanks

I think it might be Settings -> Privacy -> Automatic Restore (uncheck it)
I think if you uncheck that, Google will remember it and not restore them next time
Not 100% sure about that though
Edit: actually, isn't it an option during the intial set up for the phone (ROM)?

Ill let you know. I'm going to wipe and try again.

I know when you're flashing Gapps for CyanogenMod, you have the chance to disable the restore functionality but it's somewhat of a hidden feature. The time you can disable this feature is by clicking on the Menu button where you are asked to enter your Gmail account/password. I really think that setting should be configured as disabled by default, but whatever. Hope that helps.

I ran into the same issue. It IS the google sync and there is NO WAY to manage that. If you uninstall something from the market it has to wait for the next google sync(which times I find varies) before not re-appearing after a wipe. The only way I know of to stop this from happening is to not sign into your google account when testing a rom.
If you're trying to remove bloatware from your phone, try this in Terminal Emulator:
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# rm /system/app/*name of apk file*

ROM: Cyanogenmod-7-09192011-NIGHTLY-Desire
Market version: 3.1.5
Every time I start market it works perfectly 4-5 seconds, and than I get message "The application Market (proces com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly." And "force close" option.
I had no problem with market v2.
New market doesn't like my 5MB cache partition, even though its bound to data. The logcat shows this

Works fine so far on my device running oxygen 2.2.2 and oxygen r2 hboot. No problem downloading even with bigger files.
But like mentioned before it's totally not useable under slow connections, so back to version 2 for now.
I figured out that version 3.1.3 is working normally and version 3.1.5 not.
I unistalled updates to v2 but few minutes later it has been auto updated do 3.1.5 again.
Remove MarketUpdater.apk from /system/app. But make a backup before, just in case. Or are you on stock rom?
This same thing is happening to my wife's Desire. I have her on cm7 RC1 and AlphaRev's modified partition sizes. I can't remember if I had her cache size reduced or not.
Anyone find a solution for this yet?

You could try making an expandable ramdisk for cache. Im going to try this again when I get chance.

on cm7 with 5mb cache partition it works..so i dont think its a problem with the cache..
maybe some crap market data somewhere in the rom..to make a clean thing, u should remove at all the market from ur system..reboot couple of times (without market, so the market data should be deleted) then push the new market in system and i wuould say it should work for sure

Ok, that's good to hear. I hate having to do system critical stuff to her phone cause my luck tends to bricks things time to time, and if it's my phone then no big deal, I can take the time to fix it. But when it's hers.... well, you know. Took me long enough to convince her to let me flash cm7.
I'll try to do your suggestion and I'll report back.

Its definitely something to do with cache.

But what can market data do to cache?
of course u should have the /cache/download symlinked to /data/..somewhere..i dont have that error..do u have that symlink?
EDIT: btw i found statfs errno = 13 mean permission denied..so it fails to execute the statfs command..are the permissions correct for the /cache/download/? Maybe the new market do some additional checks

Its a bind rather than simlink, but yes, same script as CM now use. It happens both with and without. I'll have a look at that though...

So I had the market 3.1.5 force closing all over me with a desire with cm7.0.2 so I went googleing and found a weird solution. Go to 'Settings > Language & keyboard > Language' and select 'English (US)'. If already selected, select it again. Works like a charm now.

For some reason I keep getting a warning from watchdog lite that Android Media process is using 20.3% cpu and Android keyboard is using 20% cpu. Please help.
Bump
This is generally caused by media becoming corrupted. Browse through any photos or videos you have and see if anything appears that way. Might be pixelated or picture may be all black. Delete any corrupted pictures and see if that corrects the problem.
Also, if possible post a logcat. This well help better to determine the cause of the keyboard as well as if the above doesn't correct the first part of your problem.

I have deleted all photos in the gallery yet it still uses a lot of CPU. How do you post a logcat?
As far as the media problem try this:
1. Go to Settings > Apps > All
2. Locate and select "Media Storage"
3. Select Force Close
4. Select Clear Data
5. Repeat Steps 1-4 for the app: Android Keyboard (AOSP)
6. Reboot your phone
Note: The above clears settings for the keyboard. If you have modified these settings, go back to Settings > Language and Input to re-modify those settings back to how you like after performing the above steps.
You'll notice some high CPU for these processes while they rebuild their databases, but after a while you should see them go down to normal usage.
What this does is clears the database for your media. When Media Storage encounters something corrupt it tries to endlessly rebuild the database. Since you cleared your media, let it rebuild the database from scratch and hopefully it won't encounter any issues.
how to install and save logcats:
---------------------------------
Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
Installing this is a little tricky. You will need a root explorer or you won't be able to see logs. Steps below:
1. Install from play store
2. Open root explorer and browse to your system root (not ur SD card, but actual system root.)
3.) go to /data/app and cut org.jtb.alogcat-1.apk
4.) go back to system root and now browse to: /system/app
5.) paste the file.
6.) set permissions to 0644 (-rw-r--r--)
7.) restart your phone.
Note: make sure you move or cut the file so that you don't have duplicate apps. If you do happen to copy, go back to /data/app after you have it copied and delete the original.
This app has to be a system app to function in 4.2.x android systems. The above process converts it to a system app.
Open alogcat from your appdrawer and press menu.
Select save. should save to your internal storage under alogcat/whateveryourlognameis.txt
Upload your logcat here and I'll review it.

No. The problem is probably that you have some files your media scanner doesn't like and it hangs. Usually a format fixes this, unless you can find the file causing the issue.
I'm sure bwolf is probably correct but I've used rescan media when using certain ROMs ported from Verizon and it worked for me. It stops the media scanner and quickly scans. I don't believe I have any bad files so it may be a different problem altogether but maybe it is worth a try. I can't remember but I think its free.

Wasn't suggesting not to try it. Actually, the OP should definitely give it a try before formatting.
Sorry bwolf didn't mean to imply anything. Actually a full wipe of the internal SD cleared up other issues I've had with some ports and could've helped with the media scanner too but I never checked that part specifically.. If you decide to try a wipe, OP, don't forget to back up all your pics and vids if they are on internal SD and also copy any nandroid backups you want and titanium back up folder to external SD. You can then restore apps using TB from there. Just change folder location in prefrences. If you restore a nandroid backup it could also restore any issues.

Did not work. I pressed "Disable media scanner" and 3 minutes after that watchdog lite warns me that android media process is hogging CPU.
Remove all files from your sd card and then format it. It's also completely normal for media scanner service to run anytime you use it, especially during initial boot. I always stop the process after a boot, otherwise it'll run for 5-10 minutes nonstop and keep my cpu at max. It is suppose to stop eventually though.

@xperiacle found a way to enable Real Floating Multi Windows on the Galaxy Note, and thanks to @THEDEVIOUS1 this mod came to our Grand.
I've tested it extensively and it works fine, look at the screenshots below.
THEDEVIOUS1 is too busy right now to make a thread about it, so he allowed me to make one here for my fellow Grand's users:laugh:
I've improved the original SystemUi that THE DEVIOUS1 gave to me (now it's lighter and more stable) and I found a way to add a minimize button and a double tap to maximize function while in Window mode, so now one can say that we have a Full Working Floating Multi Windows Mod.
I eventually found time to make a flashable zip, no more scattered files here and there. But before you flash make sure you read the installation paragraph since there are a few pre requisites.
Two thumbs up to @xperiacle the Multi Windows pioneer, without him nothing would have been possible!
DISCLAIMER
I'm not responsible for anything that may happen to your beloved Grand:cyclops: This mod works perfectly on mine but one never knows, so make sure you have a Nandroid backup in case.
INSTALLATION
It's pretty simple, but you must be rooted, and probably deodexed (I'm not sure on that one since my phone is deodexed, it may work with odexed ROMs as well).
1-Set Androidsystem's and SystemUI's DPI to 130 (it may work with other DPIs, but for sure not with 213) using app settings (link below, in the "ADDITIONAL APPS" section) or any app that can do that kind of job. In case you changed the whole phone's DPI, put it back to stock (240).
2-Set Androidsystem's resolution to 600x1024 with appsettings (it may work without this step but do it just to be on the safe side, once Floating Multi Windows have been triggered you will be able to revert it back to its default resolution if you wish so).
3-Download the attached zip, flash it in recovery, then clear cache and dalvik cache.
Reboot. The phone will boot and freeze after the Samsung logo and show a black screen, no worries, just restart one more time and you are done.
Congrats, you have Floating Resizable Multi Windows!!!
You will notice 4 icons in the notification panel, they enable 4 different view types for the windows. From left to right: cascade (minimized), dual (like the stock multi windows), triple windows, quadruple windows.
On the left there is a pin, select it to have your window to always stay on the screen and to be able to resize the window (that can be done from the bottom, the sides or the lower right corner).
Depending which phone DPI you use you may experience System UI force close, as for me I have tried with 240 (stock DPI), 220, 200, 180 and 160, it all worked (I recommend starting with stock DPI and only after you flashed the mod to try other DPIs to suit your taste). As said above I have my Androidsystem's and my SystemUI's DPI both set to 130, but it may work with other settings...
SOME MORE SETTINGS (After Flashing - Optional)
With this mod I found the flashbar being of not much use because it can't be triggered anymore (that's because the com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml has been deleted). No worries, this bar had never proven very useful anyway, I use Side Bar instead (very little RAM hungry) and so I deleted the FlashBarService.apk.
I deleted as well:
-minimode.jar in the /system/framework folder,
-com.sec.feature.minimode_tray.xml and com.sec.feature.flashbar.xml in the /system/etc/permissions folder.
If you don't delete the com.sec.feature.minimode_tray.xml you may have an ugly bar in the middle of your screen, so if you have it you know what to do
Note that you may not have the com.sec.feature.minimode_tray.xml anyway, it depends on which 4.1.2 version you run, some have it and some haven't.
After a lot of testing I found that setting Androidsystem's DPI to 108 or 110 suits me fine, and I put its resolution back to stock (but still, set it to 600x104 before you flash the mod, once it's done and once Floating Multi Windows are working you can change your settings). The phone is more responsive, and the bottom navigation bar gets very tiny, thus saving screen estate.
If your navigation bar doesn't display properly in landscape mode set SystemUi's resolution to 480x854.
You don't have any bottom navigation bar? You want it? Edit you build.prop and add the line:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Reboot, done!
ADDITIONAL APPS
Now you have floating multi windows but not all your apps open in floating mode?
Use this module (all credits to xperiacle and rovo89):

Wanna play with your apps DPI? Do you experience System UI force close?
Use this (all credits to tungstwenty and rovo89):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072081
WHAT'S NEXT?
This mod can, and hopefully will, be improved, cuz it's possible to add a minimize button in order to have apps to shrink to a small bar (like on a computer), and maybe to have a bottom minitray showing the apps and the icons.
Unfortunately it's easier said than done, so if anyone wants to give a hand to make this mode even better he, or she, is most welcome!
To have the minitray working one needs to have real Tablet UI triggered (plus some files added, I have them ready), which means that the status/notification bar won't be at the top anymore but at the bottom, and that notifications will be triggered from there (like on a Tablet). Alas, so far I didn't manage to get it working, I changed the phone's DPI to 160, 177, 200, 213, 220, 225, I used Xposed's Tablet Ui module, but without any luck.
Ok guys, that's all for now, if I get anything new be sure that I will update this post.
Enjoy your floating Multi Windows, and report here if you have any problems
UPDATE:
I managed to have the mini tray working :good:.
What is a mini tray?
It's a tray that pops up from the bottom navigation bar, and it's loaded with all your apps. It can be used as an app launcher, and apps can be launched in cascade, dual, triple or quadruple floating view from within the tray cuz it has the mini windows icons. So no need anymore to go to the top notification bar to change view, everything is at your finger tip in the bottom bar.
I will upload the required files and explain how to install them if some people are interested by this update, cuz my connection is very slow and I don't want to loose time for nothing:cyclops:. The thing is that the files are a bit heavy, like 30 mb, it may be nothing for your connection but for mine it feels like 30 gb!
Look at the 4 new screenshots below (the 4 last ones), and let me know if you are interested...
UPDATE 2
Allright, now the minimize button and the double tap to maximize work, see post 2 below
UPDATE 3
As said above I've remodded the SystemUI, now it's lighter (from 3.5 to 2.8 mb) and more stable. I've made a flashable zip with all the required files and tried it myself, it works straight away and no SystemUi force close (as long as you have followed the "INSTALLATION" chapter).
Report any problem here, and enjoy Floating Multi Windows
Minimize Button, Double Tap To Maximize
finally I managed to make work the minimize button and the double tab function.
Look at the screenshots below to get an idea, you will see that on the left of any window bar there's a minimize icon. If you press it the window shrinks to a small bar at the bottom of the screen.
The small bars disappear if you open a new app that was not skrunk yet and you have to click on one of the notification top bar Multi Windows icons to have them back, but if you open one of the shrunk windows then the others don't disappear.
Sounds confusing?
Yeah, maybe, but try, in fact it's easy. And handy
In window mode if you double tap the app bar it maximizes, quite handy too
The zip?
Above, in OP, there's only one zip mate,and it contains all the required files:silly:
If you are on 4.2.2 be patient, very soon I will upgrade my Grand and I will make this mod available for 4.2.2...:good:
will this one work on 4.2.2?

It has not been tested on 4.2.2 and frankly I don't think it will work since the modded System UI is for 4.1.2.
You can try though, but if you do so make sure you have a backup, or Aroma File Manager (it enables you to access your files from recovery, and in your case it would enable you to change your System UI back to stock in case the modded one doesn't work), or TWRP (same as Aroma, you can navigate through your files from recovery).
Good luck, and if it works please report here

Does it boot? I mean you installed the modded System UI, you rebooted and then your phone booted?
Because if it boots with the modded System Ui installed it means that it's 4.2.2 compatible. The force close is not a big deal, I had the same on 4.1.2 until I found the right settings for DPI and resolution. The flashbar may interfere as well, and so may the TW Launcher (I replaced it with Holo Launcher HD, much nicer looking and more customizable).
But if it bootloops then it probably is not compatible.

Did you set the perms (rw, r, r) for the app? If you didn't then it will force close. What you can do is download this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108
You put the file in your phone, you go into recovery and you install the zip. Then you will be able to access both your system and sd card files from recovery. Using the file manager you can copy and paste, and set properly the permissions, all from recovery.
If it still doesn't work it could be something with the DPI, or just that, as previously said, it's not 4.2.2 compatible.
Good luck
I've edited OP, cuz I managed to get the mini tray working.
Pretty nice to my opinion, have a look at the new screenshots in OP and let me know if you are interested...
OP edited (look at post 2), minimize button and double tap to maximize work

Did you clear cache and dalvik cache in recovery?
It could be the cause, but if it's not then it must be a problem with your DPI.
Did you install app settings (see additional settings in op, there's a link for tungstwenty's and rovo89's thread)?
If you did, just change android system' s and system ui's dpi to 130, and reboot.
Or, change the whole phone's DPI to either 213, 200, 177 or 160 (see which one works and is most suitable for your taste) using the ui switcher function in the attached app.

I did not clear both cache and dalvik cache in recovery.
I tried the app settings and change both the android system's and system ui's dpi 130, and reboot but the same result.
I tried the FWC app when i change the phone's dpi and reboot the app is saying that the current DPI is still 240.
edit 1:
My bad i just saw that i need to clear both cache and dalvik cache in recovery.
edit 2:
so i cleared both cache and dalvik cache in recovery. still same result
Mmmmh, that's strange. Are you rooted and on 4.1.2 (sorry for the maybe stupid question, but some people read OPs very fast and miss some details)?
Did you delete the multi windows phone xml in the etc/permissions folder?
Check this thread, it's about the time when I was testing the mod, from message # 30 it started to work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2319592&page=3
Then read further message # 42, # 44 and # 46, and follow the settings order in # 46 (that's important), here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2319592&page=5
But instead of step 5 in # 46 just install the system ui and the etc/permissions from OP here. Reboot, it should work...
Everything I did is there. At the time I had set android system to a 600x1024 resolution and I found since that it's not needed, but you can try anyway. Let me know if it works and I'll update OP with some more instructions.
Regarding the floating windows manager, if it doesn't work (although it should, I have tested it again 5 mns ago now and changed my DPI, strange that it doesn't work with you) you can try with another DPI changer apk like ROM Toolbox or whatever from the market, there are heaps of such apps..

Yes i am rooted on 4.1.2, yes i did delete the multi windows phone xml in the etc/permissions folder,
Ok i will read all the message posted and try all of your suggested solutions. Will update you if it finally works, thanks for the help anyways.
edit 1:
so finally it works woo. all apps are now able to float. but there still some problems.
1. i still cannot pull down my notification shade
2. i still cannot access recent apps (or is it a part of the new system ui?).
3. and i will monitor if the system ui still fc.
edit 2:
this is my installation process please check if i made mistakes.
1. i change the android system dpi to 170 and system ui dpi to 130
2. then change android system resolution to 600x1024
3. delete com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml in system/etc/permissions.
4. i delete my stock system ui in the apps folder using root borwser then copy the new system ui in the same folder, then set the permission to RW, R, R
5. then clear cache and dalvik cache using clockworkmod recovery.
6. then reboot
the floating multiwindow works but as i said
1. i still cannot pull down my notification shade
2. i still cannot access recent apps (or is it a part of the new system ui?).
3 and system ui fc every now and then but not that often.
Cool, you are getting close!!:good:
The recent apps should work, and the sytem ui shouldn't close, so it means your DPI settings are still not optimal. The thing is that it's hard to give a general rule since it depends on one's phone. Mine is heavily skinned, permissions restricted and modified, and for this reason my settings may not work on somebody else's phone.
Androidsystem, I don't know about 170, at first i used 130 and it was fine. Then, after a lot of testing, I found out that 108 or 110 suits me fine, and I even could revert the screen resolution back to default (but then I changed it to 480x854 cuz with default resolution the navigation bar didn't display properly in landscape). The phone is more responsive (including the recent apps button, so maybe your problem comes from there), and the bottom navigation bar gets very tiny, thus saving screen estate.
If the above settings don't work then you will have to test by yourself and find the right dosis for your phone. Reading the links I gave you yesterday may help, and if it doesn't at least you will see that you are not the only one that struggled to get this mod working:cyclops:.
I struggled mate, believe me, but the result was worth the effort.
Check post # 2 in this thread, I just uploaded the new files to get minimize button and double tap to maximize...

ok i will play more with my setting and keep updating you. thanks for the help again
edit 1:
i forgot to tell you that my phone is odexed maybe it's factor why i cannot pull down the notification shade and cannot access my recent apps because i tried different dpi settings and i still cannot fix it. I'll just be patient and try a little harder.
edit 2:
from what i have observed the floating MW only works for me when the android system resolution is 600x1024 and up, and it works even when the android system's and system ui's dpi is default. Aso i cannot resize the floating MW, will try more settings to make my notification and recent apps to work.
edit 3:
Another thing i've observed is that when i unistall my mw apps manager module, not all apps can float.
Your phone behaves strangely, you can't resize windows, not all apps float, you can't pull the notification bar...
The only explanation I see is the fact that you're on an odexed Rom.
You know, deodexed Roms have many advantages, specially when it comes to customisation.
Maybe you should consider flashing one of the various deodexed Roms there are in the development thread, not only to have multi windows but to be able to better tweak your phone and to install some apps that work only on deodexed Roms like for example xprivacy.
It's easy, just download the file and flash it in recovery...

For now i'm having with the mod i installed some apps to act as my notification panel like floating notification and go toucher. Maybe i will install a custom rom if someone will integrate this mod on their rom like in moon rom and maybe also integrate pa's halo. But for now i will play more with the mod and maybe try that minimize button. . Thanks for the help
I'm quite busy at the moment (I didn't even find time to make a flashable zip for this mod), but when I have time I'll download 4.2.2 and I'll make a nice deodexed custom Rom including this mod. Don't expect fancy colors and bla bla effects though, my roms are fast, functional and efficient but I don't care about that kind of customization.
For now, apart from being busy the thing is that I wait for a bugless 4.2.2 to be released cuz I see many people complaining about the russian update.
Hopefully it will come soon, otherwise I'll download the russian 4.2.2 and see what it's worth...

Go back into Settings > Apps > Files and go into Storage within the Files App and clear the data and cache and see if that helps.

There's anyway to save all app data ?

No. The method I mentioned will only wipe the Files App data and cache (Hence from Settings > Apps > Files > Storage). This is not a global wiping of data and cache of your entire device (this would be the last resort).
I had the same annoying problem. I finally tracked the issue to another app called 'Box' which is a cloud storage app. Once I uninstalled "Box" the Files app worked again. I located an earlier version of the Box app (v.3.7.5) and it seems to work properly now.
The was incredibly annoying to track this problem down. I hope this helps my fellow OP3 owners...

I am an engineer on Box Android team. We have fixed the bug in today's update.
Awesome. Great job!
I don't have the box app installed and the files app still crashes everytime I need to use it... I can't even download a document to my device
