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] Problems in Applying Themes on My Epic 4G

I hate to bother you guys, but apparently I am doing something wrong. I have searched and read and searched and read and cannot find my problem.
I rooted my Epic 4g using the following process:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074324.
I then installed the following ROM (the standard version):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976194.
I followed this with an attempt to install several themes, one of them being the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024378.
The theme applies, but the background does not appear on all of my screens, such as in the background of the program pages. Also the icons that are pictured on the theme do not appear there.
Am I doing something wrong here or have I failed to understand the process. Thanks for your consideration.

Wipe cache and dalvik. The theme you posted doesn't work for some.

I actually wiped both the cache and dalvik 3x each.

Seems to me like you're doing everything right, maybe try re-downloading the theme or try a different one to see if the results are the same.

Are you on ec05?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

I just came over from Windows Mobile, so I am very new to Android and all the terminology. I am trying to read and understand, however. How would I know whether I am on EC05 or not? I do know that I am using the standard ROM from this SRF and not the Touchwise version.

I was also wondering if it was possible that the rooting process did not completely take. Can that happen? If I have "superuser" in my programs, does that mean that the rooting was completely successful? Or is there another way to tell that my phone has been fully rooted.

I haven't tried that theme so I wouldn't know of issues, but to check for ec05 go to settings - about - baseband version. That will tell you. You have superuser and the best way to test your root, imo, is to run android terminal emulator and type "su", no quotes of course, and it should ask to allow super user rights and hit yes the command prompt will show a # symbol. The app is free from the market. Android terminal emulator by Jack Palavich. You can also open titanium backup and it will tell you. Afterwards open the su app and you should a list of allowed programs. Hope that helps!

Thank you very much, you guys have been extremely helpful. It turns out I do have EC05 ROM and when I opened Titanium and then went to "su" it listed it and a three other programs there on the first screen. That's great. I will try some other themes. Maybe the one suggested by Overstew.

[UPDATE][App][JellyBean PLAY STORE]3.7.13[3rdJuly2012]

UPDATE: 3rd July 2012
yet another update guys, this time Jelly Bean version 3.7.13
i will also leave the previous version attached.
Note: for some reason google has renamed the apk file name to phonesky no idea why, so i was a bit baffled when trying to find the apk in system/apps folder lol
i know that most people will recieve the update automatically sooner or later, but for people in regions with a slow rollout grab it from the attachment.
also any devs that want to integrate it into their rom, makes it easier for the end user rather than them having to update.
Hope it helps.
Enjoy guys.

Thanks a lot,it is faster than 3.3.11.

Your welcome.
Yeah feels much faster now.

This is how it should have been from the beginning

Thank you very much, a lot better than previous version.

sorry my bad englich...

Waaaaayyyy too fast.
Thanks a lot.

I didn't notice such a huge difference. Maybe because I use it on WiFi mainly.
The Market servers are responding better now and I downgraded to 3.1.13 without feeling a difference that justifies the memory usage.
Thanks anyway to all involved.

Did you clean cache and data from the old market? Because I use wifi too and it is twice as fast loading apps that I click and images too.

Try install it like any other .apk using a file manager don't forget to clear cache and data before first use, in application manager.
Then use titanium backup to push the update into the rom.

the market can b fix by installing this update in cm7...see improvement after reboot..

Buggy
I saw it as a fast but useless upgrade. Try relinking market links with Titanium or Rom Manager Pro. Doesn't work and loses all your market links on a recovery from backup. Shows installed apps as uninstalled, etc. It's random and buggy.
Uninstalled and reinstalled, cleaned data, cache etc.. No go.
Reverted to 3.3.12 and no problems. All my market linked apps came back and showed me all the updates I'd been missing out on since early December.
Going to wait on this one. Market 3.3.12 isn't all that slow anyways.

Yes I did clean cache and data from the old Market. It's still a bit slow loading images but I admit that it's slightly better than the previous version. Now I'm using it because basically my phone auto-installed it and I won't downgrade again.

I had to use Root Explorer, delete the system/app/vending.apk, copy the new market3.3.3.apk to same folder, rename it to vending.apk then rebooted phone and the market was there, working.
Rooted, latest RocketRom v13 with abyssnote.

This was automatically downloaded as an update for me. O_O

yes, faster but bigger.. and for s-on users is new market horror moovie...

[Q] Google Play force closes

So I have MikG 3.1.1 with ducks combat theme, although I doubt that has any relevance, but up until today, my market worked fine. I could update apps, download apps, everything. But today when I went to try and download Instagram and then some games.... no matter what I do (Besides a full wipe and reflash.) I can't get it to work!!!
I've tried clearing cache, D-cache, data from market, uninstall market and placeing it into system/app folder with the modified permissions.... BUT NOTHING WORKS?
So what the hell can I do besides a full reflash? I really don't want to do a reflash because I ****ing hate putting apps back on my phone and recustomizing my settings

Might work if you use Titanium Backup to backup apps and settings, then do the wipe and restore from the backup made. Also probably wouldn't hurt to dig around for a market update

That's just it though, I don't mind TB, it's just a pain in the ass because some of the apps I have to actually DL from the market; if it's not working then I won't be able to restore all my apps. And I've tried other apk's laying around. I don't get it... This seems recent because there's a lot of threads I see from around the start of april but no possible fix, not for evo's yet anyway

Any help here guys it's driving me totally crazy. I've tried downloading an old market version before it got updated to "Google Play" and I can't even get it to open and update... WTF is going on here?
I literally have done nothing new to my phone in the past week. I was browsing apps the other day and downloaded pudding camera fine no problem. Wake up today to download another for my tumblr, but now everytime I try and wipe data/cache of Play Store, followed by trying to download something it FC's and will further FC, not even opening up afterwards.
I really don't want to reflash my ROM but it seems like I have no other option... Come on people, I know this issues has to be floating around with some kind of fix.

I don't know if this'll help, but have you tried booting into recovery and fixing permissions.
Sent from my EVO using XDA

Go over to the Samsung epic touch 4g forum, go to themes and apps, find the thread "inverted Google apps" by rujules23 and go to his site. Download the market v3.5.16 for the evo, should just be called market v3.5.16 and not have E4GT on the end the E4GT version is specific to the epic touch and flash the zip in recovery that market should work for you, it will say market and have a blue and white shopping bag icon, it's inverted black with blue trim and modified to say market instead of play store on the icon. It fixed my play store problems when it kept acting weird(purchased apps saying they weren't purchased, FC's, apps incompatible, etc)

Yes I have tried. I've even tried the modded apk.
I will however, albeit being inverted, try the other suggestion with the flashable zip and post back with results

There's been a known issue with some of the new versions Google Play Store not downloading and throwing up error codes and such.
So I just downloaded one of the early versions until they iron out the kinks.
Here's the one that seems to work ok found here: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-google-play-store-apk-3-4-6/
Its the 3.4.6 version. Scroll down.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5

Tried the inverted, no dice. In fact, worse than before. I can't even agree to the TOS and it instantly FC's on me. At least before I could wipe data and cache and browse, until I tried to download something.
Going to try the previous version as mentioned. However, won't it try to auto update when I open it?

Still nothing. Constantly getting the error. The only difference now is I cannot even browse the market now. I aknowledge that market is changing to play store, it crashes... I open it again and asks me to accept ToS. Then instantly FC's.
Any other fixes guys? I'm beginning to think I have to reflash my rom which I really don't want to.
Any MikG users here can confirm if I can just flash the Update version over my current setup to maintain my apps and settings or will that break my theme and everything else? CUrrent theme is Ducks Combat

Did you delete the market completely before installing the inverted one?
Sent from my lair.

Just re flash mikg it will wipe system for you but all your data will remain. I've had that happen with other things, you may have changed something that caused it and not known. Re flash, no wipe it will do the trick!

Reflash with the update version? Cuz the other version is a full wipe inside the zip. More laboration please?
And yes I did delete the Vending.apk, market.apk, reboot, install, reboot, and try. Still errors

*sigh*
Checked on some of my old posts and may have found a fix to my FFC camera issue which is unrelated to this thread. What IS related however, is when I was flashing it, I accidentally wiped my sdext and now I can't unlock my phone for some reason. Just my wallpaper and my status bar...
So against my wishes it would seem I have to reflash the entire mikg rom. (
However, in my previous post about simply reflashing the rom OVER my current setup, anybody care to explain still?

No worries guys, had to eventually reflash anyway and working even better than before. Making nandroid to prevent any future errors. Proceed with closing thread

[Q] xElite Gamer - Can't install anything, low memory alert

Hi guys,
i came back to Gingerbread from over a year experienced on ICS, why?
Is impossible to play, that's all.
I've tried this rom "xElite Gamer" as many of you suggest, but i've another kind of problem.. some apps cannot be installed!
Not all of them (that's very strange) but only some of them.
Play Store tells me that there's not enought space free to install apps like Facebook or the SwiftKey keyboard but allows me to install apps like ADW.Launcher.
If i try a Titanium Backup restore it restores successfully the SwiftKey but not Facebook.
I've tried by installing them from the APK but unsuccessfully, gave me error on the package.
So.. what's happening?
That's the ROM discussion thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2366002
I'm using the last one with his own Kernel
I've tried by reinstalling the rom, deleting everything, using a full wipe many and many times, nothing changes.

I had this problem some time ago. It's something with partition (i guess) and you are not allowed to install bigger apps than certain size. I had fix from Google Play but sadly i forgot the name of that app. I'll do some research and try find that app.

Hi, thank you!
I've actually solved (10 seconds ago) using Lupus Kernel instead of xElite one, so it confirms my theory about a wrong partition dimension.
I'll try in the next days again, i'll let you know.

Sorry for the missunderstanding
The important thing is that we understand what created the bug and how to fix it, i thing that it was created by a small cache partition (only 2mb) of that kernel instead of the internal memory full size of the lupus cache partition that work as a folder.
On other hand, just to talk, i notice a lot of cpu governor on the lupus that the ExtremeKerned doesn't have, so seems to me that Lupus is still the best choice even in that case.
Thank you all guys for the help provided me :cyclops:
