Starting to hate gb ota. System keeps closing sense after using one or two apps. It's pissing me off, anyone else have this or know any fixes? Thanks.
End of line.
Have you tried clearing cache/dalvik And fix apk mismatched in recovery? And I would clear apps' caches
Other than that, Titanium Backup and do a full wipe and go to a dev's ROM, like Steel's or TI-X or Fresh which are based off the OTA and enjoy some nice extra features.

In Amon Ra recovery, select 'other'. Then choose 'fix uid apk mismatches' (it's something close to that, there's only one or two options in the 'other' section. you'll see it)
Which OTA rom are you currently using?

Official rooted. For some reason recovery can't mount dalvik.

Just for fun, try clearing cache/dalvik. That seems to solve a lot of issues for me.

Thanks, ill check that out.
I just installed a new kernel and afterwards read about clearing the dalvik cache before installing kernels. Since I never did this should I clear it now, or do I have to clear it and then install the kernel?
clear then install
Is this the same thing as "cleaning" the dalvik cache using Titanium or do you actually have to delete the entire cache folder?

To be on the safe side i do it both in Titanium and then when i am in Clockworkmod, I do it in the advanced section too - by the way if you do not have partition done on your sd card u will see an E: error message. You can ignore that.

Thanks alot .... I did it the way you suggested and am rebooting now. I appreciate the help.
For kernels, you want to delete the cache partition, kernel stuff usually isn't help in the dalvik cache. On Amon_Ra style, it's wipe cache. On CWM I think it's wipe cache partition (Don't know, have not used CWM in a while).

Cleaning in Ti only deletes unneeded files. Do this after you uninstall an app or two. Wiping in Recovery clears it out completely, so you'll have a longer next boot time while it's rebuilt. You only need to wipe it when changing to and from one of King's with HAVS.

So I don't need to wipe when updating Chads incredikernel?
You should always wipe caches when swapping kernels, even it its switching kernels from the same dev. It takes like no time to do so why not? I've forgotten to and usually it makes no difference. Sometimes its just forced closed's until I can restart and do it right.

Just for future reference, it never hurts to clear your cache or dalvik. I do it whenever I flash anything...or sometimes just because it's been a month since I have rebooted.
is there any benefit to clearing your cache or dalvik after deleting anything from the sdcard?
or should this be done regularly?
Just curious.
Thanks.

Here's the way I think of it...some flashable things require it (and usually say somewhere), but you don't HAVE to do it if your phone is operating normal, and your not flashing anything...BUT, it never hurts to...and the rest is me just being anal.
Whay exactly does a full wipe consist of? Using RA 2.3 recovery.
I usually wipe system, cache, and dalvik that way I keep all my dl app but some wipe data also. U can wipe boot as well.

A full wipe, in preparation to flash a new rom would consist of wiping:
data/factory reset
cache
dalvik cache
boot
system
I always wipe everything 2 or 3 times. I also flash Calkulin's Format All after wiping all of the above. That might be overkill, but it makes me feel better before I flash a rom, lol. You get a completely clean start.

What would happen if i wiped everything and rebooted? not that i wanna try it or anything just curious
My definition of a full wipe using amon RA is EVERYTHING in the wipe menu except the SD card and when I flash a different rom, I wipe everything on that list with the exception of the card itself. Technically speaking, however, the list that k2buckley posted is correct.

If you tried to boot after wiping what I mentioned, you will either hang at the splash screen or it will boot you right to fastboot (not sure really though, as I've never tried, but it wouldn't boot, for sure). Since it wipes system and boot image, there would be nothing installed for you to boot into. Btw, I would avoid trying that lol.

That's crazy. Wiping everything like that is over kill. No need to wipe data as its all the apps that uve downloaded from the market. The only ones really needed are dalvik, cache, boot, and system. And I've only ever had to do it one time then flash a rom and it works everytime plus I have all my data and apps there still

He asked what a FULL wipe was. Not if it was necessary or required. And not wiping data when going from one rom to a different one (not an update of the same rom, but to a totally different rom) has ALWAYS left me with weird issues, such as wake locks, cm Widgets on salvage mod, reboots etc.
Oh well, we all have our own methods and rituals for flashing, lol. I will stick to my methods, and everyone else can use theirs.

I'm guessing u know this but have u ever looked at ur data folder with root exployer or what ever. The app folder might have 5-6 apps in it and the app-private folder holds the apps u dl from market. So wiping it in recovery makes little sense. I've flashed plenty of different roms without wiping data and never had a problem. Plus on an upnote all ihave to do is flash the roms and gapps if needed and restart and that's it. No need to sit there for an hour restoring apps or settings

I believe you and don't have a problem with you doing it that way, however, like you, I, too, have flashed a great deal of roms and my method has also served me well. It is not wrong for me to use my method. It's just a matter of preference and nothing more.

I've used Cyanogen Mod for quite a while without issue. Then, last week my camera started force closing. So far as I knowing didn't change any settings or install an app that would mess with it. Haven't updated radios, etc...it just stopped. I've cleared the cache in apps settings, there is space on the card.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
clear cache and dalvik from recovery, and reboot. If that doesnt work, you will probably have to reflash the rom.

Shouldn't lose anything, as you are just clearing cache files. However, it can never hurt to do a backup first, only takes a couple minutes.
Ugh. I did a full wipe and upgraded to 7.1 (was on 7.0.2)...Camera is still FC'ing...again, it works with other apps (Vignette, Goggles) but not the stock camera. It worked just fine until two weeks ago...and then, nothing. No clue why. :/
Well, now it works...I did one more wipe and it just started working. Thanks!
Try fix permissions, worked for me
