[Q] App Force Close Error In Custom ROM

OK so here's my problem.. I have backups in both nandroid and Titanium Backup. I flash a ROM wait for it to do its business. After everything boots up, I try to restore everything through titanium backup but I get a force close error. I also try to open Rom Manager to see if it works and I get the same error but for Rom Manager. So the error isn't in Titanium Backup, but I do not know where it is. Any ideas?? I enjoy having custom Roms, but not if I do not have all of my stuff on the Rom.
Well I was going to attach a picture but it will not allow me because I am " New".
The error message reads as this.
! Sorry!
The application Titanium Backup (process com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
(Force Close) <---- button
It also does it with other applications such as the Facebook Launcher.

Once you flash your ROM, run Fix Permissions preferably from recovery, else use the version(s) in either Rom Manager, or Titanium.
Once that completes, reboot device. When you restore things from Titanium, just restore apps, preferably one-by-one, and only the app, not the data.
Do not at all recommend restoring apps+data+system data from Titanium. Why?
The system data backup residing in Titanium was for the last ROM, or the last time the backup was completed. As such, if you flash a different ROM, you are overwriting the system data of the new ROM with the system data from the old ROM - that spells odd behavior, mass force closes. etc. etc.

Well I tried this solution smtom, and it was to no avail. Any other suggestions?

When flashing a ROM, are you clearing cache/dalvik and doing the factory reset on the device? What version of Rom Manager & CWM are you using?
The latest version of CWM is giving people issues.
Absent all that, try not restoring apps or data (anything really) from TB when you flash the new ROM, after having wiped data/caches/user data.

Yes I'm clearing cache and data. The CWM version is 3.0.0.5, which is the latest recovery.
What does clearing the dalvik do and how do I factory reset the device?

I figured it out, with tmtom's help of course! I had to do a factory reset and then flashed the rom and everything worked. Thanks for the advice!!

I have the same error so I'm going to try the solutions provided in this thread. I do have one question though. Kalebskalicky mentioned that he finally fixed it by doing factory reset and then flashing the rom.
Just to be clear; factory reset is the same as wiping data/factory reset? Or I need to do a factory reset from the phone settings?
Another thing. I have noticed that the FC issues have something to do with gapps, acore, and/or framework processes. When I get any of these force closes, all the other apps start to crash, but all the issues start with any of those 3 processes crashing.
However, there are 2 apps that force close from the start, even before any of these 3 processes crash. These 2 apps are voxer and waze.
Is there like a way to delete the folder where they are installed? maybe it's a problem of installation? I have no idea and haven't been able to fix it.
Any suggestions, would be inmensely appreciated.
Thank you very much.
UPDATE:
Just wanted to mention that I always wipe data/factory, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache, and then flash the new rom. Is this ok to do? Or am I deleting stuff I shouldn't?
Thanks again.

I also had this issue.
I had tried wiping the cache and the dalvik cache. Fixing permissions. didn't wont to format as everything was set-up how I wanted it and couldn't be bothered going through it again.
After some digging around I had to uninstall titanium backup first then delete the folder
/sdcard/external_sd/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
(there may also be /sdcard/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup to Delete)
Reinstalling titanium backup after deleting this folder, worked like a charm.
Apparently its to do with a corrupt database upgrade???
I hope this helps any one.

have you cleared cache partition,dalvik cache and wiped data properly....

Did you wipe the dalvik cache and perform a factory reset?
If not, that's probably what you need to do, CM9 kept force closing everything and it fixed itself when I did these.
Hope I helped :fingers-crossed:

Thanks..did that and worked well till last day, but the in the evening I again got same error
Don't know what to do...

hmmm...
The only thing I can think of is to free up some RAM, maybe they're force closing due to not enough being avaliable.
Try to kill some ram hungry apps,
Go to
-Settings
-Apps
-Scroll to Running
-Kill them.

[Q] Phone keeps rebooting and closing apps after 4.2 flash.

Well.. Just got my gnex and its rebooting about every 5 mins and all apps, even settings, close after I open them. Sometimes the apps work and most of the times it immediately closes it and goes back to the homescreen. Tried MMuzzy, and XenonHD, both 4.2 builds. can anyone help?
Ive use the stock kernel or the kernel that is packaged with those roms. I used CWM 6.0.2.3 to flash and wiped data/factory reset before both, cleared cache, and wiped dalvic.

[Q] Wicked v8 calendar bug

Default android calendar stops responding and will not load, and any apps that attempt to use the default calendar info from system cause the same prompt to occur.
Any one know a fix for this, or can post the most recent android calendar.apk for our tmo sgs4?

No problems with Calendar app here. First try wiping data for Calendar in Application Manger. If that don't work try wiping cache and dalvik cache in recovery.

[SOLVED] - Factory reset results in Google play FC

Hi.
Using stock, rooted,s-off.stock kernel.
Recently battery life decreased, so I want to do a factory reset and start from scratch.
Went into twrp, selected wipe, and after the reboot the system start at setup screen and I get non stop FC of Google play.
I Had a nandroid backup, so I have restored it, and when system finish boot, I'm still getting this Google play FC.
Tried installing android revolution he 8.1 that I had as backup on my microsd, and after the boot finished everything is fine.
After that I tried restoring the nandroid backup, and this time I did not get this FC.
I have also tried reset via settings -backup and reset, and it will just get me into twrp recovery, tried only wiping user data, but FC saga continues.
Right now I have restored my nandroid back(by installing ARVHD 8.1 and restoring backup).
Anyone have any idea what could have happened and how to resolve that?
Any other way getting a clean system?
*I don't have access to a computer right now...
Thanks.

Tried flashing CWM recovery and doing the wipe from there, i'm still getting this google play FC

Try wiping playstore manually, 1 settings 2, scroll down to apps 3, find the playstore then clear cache & data, can then try unistall updates then try open the playstore again to see if that has helped.
