Rooted with Sense Rom and NEED HELP! - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I decided to switch from CM7 to Fresh today, and boy was that a mistake! I can't get most of the apps to work, and I can't get market to work so I can't re-download ROM Manager to go back, and I can't get it to boot into recovery!
HELP!
I can't use messaging, email, or phone. The dialer won't pop up when I press it, and the others force close before I can even get into the app. Settings force closes when I try to change various things. Android.process force closes every 2 seconds. Market force closes if I try to download anything. I'm getting no messages, emails, etc. I tried to download ROM Manager by going to android.com/market since only the premium license shows up, tried to send it to my phone and it never shows up or downloads. When I try to reboot by holding down the volume and power button it just goes straight to the Fresh boot screen, no bootloader. Have I wrecked up my phone beyond repair at this point? I'm freaking out oh just a little bit!
I realllly wanted to use this ROM, but not at this cost. Hopefully someone has some suggestions on how to get my phone back in working order.
*****UPDATE*****
Please excuse my panic! I fixed this issue by doing a factory data reset. So simple that I overlooked it.

Market doesn't work with any ROM

Hey Guys!
My Android Market stopped work after update to UK 3.4.2-117
When I was with FW2.21. It's OK.
I already tried to Clean Data, Cache... another Google Account... with 3G and WiFi, but nothing...
When I trying to download anything from Market... It's write "start downloading..." Then dissapear and nothing...
Sorry about my english...
Thanks a lot!
This happens to me sometimes too. When it starts downloading, go back into the app info screen and watch the progress bar.
I tried, but the progress bar show me "starts downloading" then dissapear and appear after 1 second in the same screen, for example I'm getting Angry Birds -> Install -> OK -> Download screen with progress bar -> dissapear before download -> appear "Angry Birds Free" not installed... If I install another program from my SD It's appear normally "Installed".
Thanks!
I have the same problem with the market. Help plase.
Up!
The problem persists
I got that, too, some time ago with my x10 mini. I needed to wipe the market data and created a new google mail account, though its a known googlebug and there its no 100% working fix for that.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
starting to have this problem takes about 5-7 tries to get something to download and install off the market going to see if wiping the market app data will help
I'm having the same problem with downloading from the Market since flashing to 3.4.2. On top of that the earpiece on my defy has just stopped working so I need to send it in for repair!
Please help!
Could one of the experts take pity on us and help us find out what's causing this?
Even if I reflash the SBF using RSD Lite it doesn't fix the problem.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received!
Fixed it!
I got it working again by doing a factory reset from recovery and then when setting up the google account I created a new account instead of using my existing account. When I went into the market I was then able to download.
I then did another factory reset and used my old account and I was still able to download things from the market.
Hope this works for the rest of you.
i believe contrem is the best way to sort it out.. otherwise you might need to reflash using "RSD Lite".

I did the recovery, create a new account in google, but the problem still here...
I have the same problem with the market heeeeelp pleaseee!!!
I also have this problem recently. Seems to happen after I setup some email accounts. But removing those email accounts didn't help. Also tried cleaning cache/data etc but that didn't help neither.
I've given up. I can download almost everything anyway (I read Chinese )
I have finally solved by problem. Clearing Market cache is not enough. Have to terminate Market, set locale to English (US), and turn off wifi before restart Market. After the terms and conditions show up, can set locale back to your preference and turn on wifi again.
UHUL! Finally I fixed my market
I entered in the Stock Recovery Mode and Wipe Data. Doing that you will reset your phone.
I'm using Froyo (2.2)
This is the guide to enter Recovery mode
1 - Power off your Phone
2 - Long Press the Volume Down Button, then Press the power button to power on your Phone
3 - When you see the Green Android Robot, press the Volume Down+Up (together) Button
4 - Use menu with the volume up/down and power button to confirm.
Thanks! and Good Luck!

[Q] Several Problems

Everytime i boot up my epic this appears:
The application Titanium Backup (process.comkoushidutta.rommanger) has stopped unexpeectedly. Please try again.
This also appears everytime i boot into Facebook, Rom Manager, Google, XDA App.
Im running ACS Syndicate ROM v.1.2
Also, what Kernel fits Syndicate ROM the best and how can i change my lock screen into a puzzle?
And how do I put my phone back into stock? Just in case I have to send it back you know?
Thanks For All Your Help!
Odin and reflash and don't change kernels
Srf has that problem where it well just fc everywhere after a flash
Don't bother changing kernels cause they're the most dangerous flash plus you get a pretty good one with srf
You won't have to send our back but if you wanted to use odin
If you want the puzzle lock flash a7 lock theme or how ever many locks there are
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Uninstall ROM manager. It does not work well with most Epics. Then boot into Clockwork with 3 finger from power off and clear cache and Dalvik.
Do I Have To Wipe Each Of Them 3x Or Just Once?
And will that fix all my other apps from force closing?
Also, everytime I send a text it won't go through UNLESS I stay in the text messaging area. If I send a text and then for instance go back to my home page the message won't send. Any help on that?

Well first off SRF 1.2 doesn't come with a kernel.
Now to the OP:
When I have used SRF in the pass I preferred Vision. YMMV!
One thing you want to do is enablejournaling to get that go here

For a pretty good theme with the locks go here

As far as going back to stock go here

Thanks!
But as far as apps, they still force closes
CAN THAT BE STOPPED!?
Also, what is "overscroll glow" and how can I get it?
And, where can I download the black market from?
@Taz what exactly is "journaling"?

Journaling does a extra write to ensure a good copy of data.
Not sure about "overscroll"
You might need to reflash the ROM boot up to your home screen let the media scan complete then reboot to CWM and flash journaling it won't fix the issue but will prevent it from happening again.
Okay & I just ran into another problem:
Everytime I open my music player it plays one song then freezes
By journaling would it fix this problem?
Also, it seems as if when I send a text the message doesnt send unless I stay in the message area for instance:
I send a message then go back to the home scren. The message won't send
I send a message & waits for it to send. The message sends.

Ok have you reflashed then enabled journaling? if no then that is where you start. You will continue to have problems till you do this. If you still have problems get back to us. I suspect you haven't done anything yet.
See everytime I try & download the journal, the download forces close just like the apps, so I'm sorta stuck

Download to PC and copy to sd card. Did you download the ROM wireless? If so you could have a bad D/L as well.
No i downloaded syndicate via PC, but my computer is down now so I've bee doing wireless downloading and recently used ACS Updater to get this theme.

I would recommend copying the journaling by PC. You still have to reflash.
Okay being that I cannot get access to my PC, is there any other way to do this? The only positive in this scenerio is that I can get into clockwork and titanium backup.

You need a PC if you can't get it to move over cuz of crashes use CWM and mount sd card that way. Just do your back up FLASH your ROM if it is still on the card use PC to copy then enable journaling. If you have drop box on the device and it don't crash when open drop box it. Regardless you HAVE to REFLASH before you do anything else. Do you still have a nanback up? Go into CWM and restore from that to get yourself up and running till you can get all files you need onto your device.
Thanks all I had to do was flash the rom
Now should I upgrade my kernel to genocide or stay on twilight?
And I'm downloading the journal now, but how will I know if its on?
Edit: Ahh I found out what the problem is.
I have journal & all, but whe I installed the "shake & bake" theme, my apps started force closing.
Are there any good themes similar to that particular one?
Edit2: After installing the theme and the problems occurrred again, I reflashed my rom but now I keep getting force closes even without the theme. Any help?

[Q] All of the apps on my phone force close automatically, could it be the battery?

This is quite annoying
Every time I turn on my phone, all of the apps that start when my phone boots force close. I'm not able to send a text or even use the dialer. I'm able to browse my home screen, but when I try to run an app, either it will run for a bit and then force close, or it will close as soon as I open it. The battery I have is bad, which results in my phone turning off randomly, I know it's a bad battery because I've had this issue before and replacing the battery solved it.
Today I tried to use soundhound and while it was "listening" the phone decided to turn off. No surprise. However, when I rebooted it, none of my apps were able to run. I get the "Unfortunately, x has stopped working..." and am forced to close the app. I'm not able to do anything on my phone. I can still receive texts, I'm unable to respond to them. I should be getting a new battery in the mail any day now, and I'm hoping it will solve the issue.
I'm running cm9 beta 1. I've cleared the cache and the d-cache.
Could the battery be the cause of this? Any suggestions?
I'm gonna try to temp boot to EL29. Mobile ODIN doesn't work, am I able to use ODIN 1.85 on my computer instead? I would install the direct boot v3 file under the PDA option right?
EDIT: The apps seemed to have worked when under a temp boot of EL29. I'm gonna do a fresh install to see if that does the trick
I doubt its the battery. Maybe a corrupted install. Download files to pc if possible then xfer to phone. Verify md5 before flashing. You can get software from sourceforge if needed.
The fresh install did the trick. Still not sure how this happened, but whateva. I don't need a new phone
That's good sometimes you just get a bad flash or flash a mod that just messes things up. I have flashed things that worked perfectly for others and my phone got jacked. Its all part of the game. I keep a recent one click on my laptop just in case.
It sounds like when you installed your rom you forgot to wipe data/factory rest or when you restored app backups you installed data with system apps from a TWiz rom. When restoring backed up apps you can usually restore data for system apps from TWiz > TWiz or AOSP/CM > AOSP/CM as long as they are on the same build ie ICS > ICS or JB>JB etc. You can restore data for user apps safely regardless of rom they were backed up on. But the FC issue comes from incompatible system data it screws up the system process and causes apps to FC when it tries to load the data

[Q] Arghhhhh, TouchWiz Messed Up

I had LauncherPro running and used Titanium backup to freeze it. Now I cant use my Note coz it just keeps telling me that the TouchWiz is stopped and then the screen blacks out. Cant even get to Titanium Backup to unfreeze it.
Please help to either unfreeze or to reset in some way back to anything that works.
You could try installing another launcher via the play store website. It'll get pushed to your phone providing it's got a network connection.
I'm not sure if you can unfreeze an app via adb, if so you could give that a go.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
cant go to playstore or anything else on the note. can't change home screens, cant open an app either. can only use the hardware button to shut down. the touch screen is giving a stopped message when i unlock after boot and when I ok the message the screen blacks out. the message comes back in a few seconds but I can only ok the message and then the screen blacks out. CLOSED LOOP.
I meant go to the play store on a PC, it will get pushed to your phone over the air.

I deleteed TouchWiz launcher with Titanium and now I don't have any FCs or problems with my Nova Prime launcher.
The white LauncherPro installed over the air from my pc but it didnt help as I dont have a way to activate it on my Note. Would need to see the screen to go into settings to activate it.
I'll have a look at adb even though I am quite sure it will not have the unfreeze option. Maybe I can reset to factory or similar.
Any other ideas are welcome.
It should have detected a new launcher and given you the option to select it, try something like GoLauncher (different from Launcher Pro you installed).
I'm still trying to think of ways to do it without resorting to wiping the phone.
If I do I'll let you know.

Just use odin to flash a stock rom. Or wipe your phone from the recovery.

You can just reflash the to stock again.
i tried the go launcher and it worked fine but the ended up with google play and titanium backup missing among the installed apps so couldnt unfreeze LauncherPro and the if selected TouchWiz was still messed up. I finally gave up used adb to reboot into cwm and reset to factory.
Really confusing the TouchWiz is still an issue after the reset. and can't do any action on the phone. Looks like I will have to flash back to stock unless somebody can come up with something else otherwise please point me to where i can find the stock rom and flashing instructions.

I had a similar problem as the OP and though this thread didn't really help me, I figured I'd post what wound up working for me.
For starters, I was going to follow what was recommended on the Titanium Backup FAQ Item#21:
titaniumtrack.com/kb/titanium-backup-kb/titanium-backup-troubleshooting.html#frozen-too-many-apps-now-cant-use-device-to-launch-TB
However, I wasn't in front of my computer and I didn't want to be phone-less all day, so I tried to find some work around to get where I could unfreeze the important apps in TB.
My main problem was that I couldn't access any apps due to the fact that the home page would immediately fail and give me the "Touchwhiz Home has stopped working" error.
I still had partial access to the phone in that I could still access the pull-down menu.
Blocking mode was enabled so it showed up in the pull-down menu and I could click on it and then get into my phone settings.
I tried going through settings to get to TB and while I could get to the Application Manager, I couldn't directly launch it from there. I force-closed TB and rebooted the phone...big surprise, nothing changed.
I figured wiping Dalvic was worth a shot too (from CWM), but that didn't have much of an effect either (though it did force an app update on reboot).
Anyway, since I still had access to the pull down menu and notifications, I decided to see if I could txt myself a link (from another phone) to the TB googleplay location since you can launch the application directly from the Play store. Well, I got the txt, but I couldn't open it due to a "messaging has stopped working" error every time I clicked on it.
Since I got the notification, I knew information was still obviously getting to my phone, so I figured I'd give it a try via gmail since it is less tied to the phone launcher than messaging.
Sure enough, I got the notification and I was able to open gmail from the notification. Clicking on the googleplay link in the email successfully launched the Playstore. From there I was able to launch Titanium Backup and unfreeze Touchwhiz Home.
Hope this helps someone else, I was really not looking forward to doing a complete wipe and re-install of my whole phone.
This simple jumping around to get to TB does obviously require that you can access your notifications and that you have them turned on...otherwise you're still screwed.
If your phone is rooted and you have a custom Rom on, just Reinstall the Rom again without wiping anything through recovery. It will bring back the touchwiz launcher without touching your data. It might reset your app settings back at least all your contacts, messages, etc will still be there.

I just went through this. And maybe this will help the next person searching for a solution.
I froze touch wiz in Titanium and could not boot. So I went to Google Play on my desktpop and logged in. Then installed "Smart Launcher". I had no idea if it was installing or not but on Google Play on my desktop it said "installed" so i did a battery pull and restarted into Smart Launcher. Then rebooted again to get the prompt which launcher Iwanted to use and I chose "touch wiz" and "don't ask me again"

Help, systemUi pop ups after trying to install Rom!!!

[SIZE=""][/SIZE] I cannot figure out how to get pass these pop ups. I had just flashed the insane hybrid rom using CWM, I made sure to do a clean flash. But right after it booted up it just had a completely black screen with pop ups saying,"unfortunately, the process com.android.system ui has stopped & unfortunately, application has stopped." And that's all that I get over an over making the phone unusable. I tried wiping it an then restored back to my stock Rom, but same problem. only now it's not just the two pop ups it's popping up saying all my apps have unfortunately stopped an after it finally goes thru all my applications the systemui and Google services ones won't go away still.I've cleaned the data for all my applications an even turned my Google play services off an all that did was stop the pop ups from happening every 20 seconds now rather than every 10. Haha please any help would be much appreciated.
Oh an I just realized that after I installed the Rom it had an error that says busybox was not installed Idk if that's the reason or what. Thanks again.
What stock rom did you flash back to? And did you have any pop ups when you restored it?
