that's called a Force Close (FC). It usually happens with an unstable ROM/unstable app but more often it happens when you don't wipe (Cache/Dalvik) before installing a custom ROM.
Backup any important data that's not already on your sdcard, go back into recovery, wiple your cache and dalvik, and flash the ROM again. see if that helps you

even if im coming from the old fresh to the new fresh i still have to wipe

I'm not familiar with Fresh's ROMs, if you read his threads carefully I'm sure he'll tell you which version upgrades require a wipe and which don't. Usually a drastic upgrade will require a wipe. In your case a wipe will most likely fix these FCs

With the learning curve for the EVO still growing, its usually a good idea to wipe data/cache/dalvik when flashing new roms. Even updates. I haven't seen too many "No Wipe Necessary" around this forum. As long as you've got Titanium or MyBackup, wiping isnt as big of a headache as it used to be. Hope you get things figured out. Screwing with these phones can get frustrating. Dont know how many times I wished I hadnt messed with anything.

well i just wiped and reloaded fresh so hopefully this will fix everything

[Q] MAJOR Problems, Error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands

Alrighty....seems as if I have some MAJOR problems here.
Background, I have a DInc 1, rooted using Unrevoked, and the only ROM I put on it was Cyanogen Mod 7. S-off is all set up, and there is the Superuser features have worked fine 75% of the time. Everything was up and running quite well for some time. Then this weekend, I installed a few different DWLauncher themes, and things still seemed to be ok. Sunday night, I installed Words with Friends, and that is when all hell broke lose.
Now, I really can't run anything. Apps are force closing all over the place, Google framework stuff is force closing and when I even try to report a problem, even that force closes. So, I uninstalled the Words with Friends App, and changed themes, thinking those were the culprits, but seems like the damage has been done. Nothing really works and everything is force closing.
Went into the ROM Manager (premium) and did a fix permissions and it gave me the "error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands" error. I ran it a handful of times, and it worked once last night. I thought it would have cleared a bunch of stuff up, but it didn't really help at all. Kept the phone off all night, and when I got to work this morning, I started working on it. Fine, time to ditch everything and start from scratch. So, downloaded a different ROM (Cyanogen MOD nightly), and also tried a few others, which it let me download, but when I click to install, no matter what options I click from wiping cache, wiping Dalvik, backing up or anything, it always gave me the same error. So, back to ROM manager, trying to boot in recovery, error, boot into CM recovery, error.
Edit, as I finished typing this, I tried to install the nightly one more time, but did not click wipe Dalvik, and it is installing things. As soon as everything installed, it was more of the same, apps crashing all over the place. I was able to go into ROM manager and boot into CM recovery, which is now allowing me to fix problems. So, it seems as if was working properly, for the first couple of hours, but around 10 pm, roughly 12 hours after the install, app crash-o-rama again. Also, from ROM Manager, when I try to flash ClockworkMod Recovery, it force closes.
So, I am kinda stuck. No matter what ROM I download, it gives me the same error. At this point, I don't care what ROM is on there (I do have preferences), but I just want the phone working again. Is there anyway to force a wipe and install?
Thanks in advance

You can, instead of installing the ROM through ROM Manager, just download the ROM zip file, put it on your SD card, do the full wipe/factory reset/dalvik in Recovery, then flash the ROM zip from there.
I've had issues trying to install a ROM that's downloaded from ROM Manager.
Here's what I do before flashing the ROM zip file:
Wipe user data/factory reset
Wipe dalvik (under the Advanced menu in Recovery)
Wipe /boot, /system, /data, /cache (under Mounts and Storage in Recovery)
THEN flash the ROM zip file.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply. It has been a long day of working on this phone. I have to pull my battery so many times, almost as many times as my blackberry.
I have installed about 4 different ROM versions until it would allow me to clean everything up, Dalvik and system cache, but as of now, everything is back up and running.....for now. Let's hope it stays that way.
If it doesn't, it seem like I will go the way of skipping the ROM Manager and just boot straight into recovery and do it all that way.
Thanks again

ROM manager isn't exactly reliable software. Most devs recommend a clockwork flash rather than ROM manager. Don't know why there are so many issues with it, but its pretty much not worth using to flash ROMs. It's fix permission feature is exactly the same routine that clockwork uses though. Updating the superuser might be something to try too.

ROM manager only wipes once and cwm3 doesn't wipe properly.... I've always read that you should wipe data cache and dalvik 3 times each before installing a new ROM wich is why you should use cwm.

Awesome link!

That you all for the info. I tried a few things, installed a few ROMS, wiped them each time, and back to the CM7 nightlies and it all seems to be working fine now. Let's hope it stays that way.
Next time I have problems, I will have to do everything out side of ROM Manager and see if it has a better result..
Thanks again

Actually this has happened to me, usually happens when installing or Uninstalling certain hardware.
After reinstalling my roms to get it to work right when it did it few hours later to infuriate me. The only thing that did work was booting into Recovery and install my rom again but with what the guy said.
Wipe all data, everything, factory reset.
Then install your rom, then make sure you don't install or Uninstall certain hardware.

Problems with latest CM10 nightly

Need a little help here... Been on CM 10 from the beginning on my TMobile s3 with no problems. After I downloaded the 8-18-12 nightly my phone will not get past the android setup screen?? Anyone else having this issues and what can I do about this? Thanks!!

I just installed it and it works fine so far. Try another wipe and install. Or maybe your download is bad.

Tried nightly download from cyanogen site & rom mgr. to no avail?? My rom mgr is updated, did full wipes and no luck. Reverted back to 8-14 with no issues. Haven't heard anyone else having this issue and I've never had any issues downloading CM before?? Weird. Thanks for the info.

First time I installed it, it worked out fine but there was a few minor issues like camera won't upload pictures and videos to facebook, Unable to update status. I decided to flash it again but this time I wiped dalvik 3x cache and data 2x format system cache data 2x each. After doing that everything worked out fine.

Yes, I had the same problem. It seems to work sometimes, sometimes not. Just do the 3 types of wipes, and try again- it should work.
One hint: during the installation of the ROM when it says "unleashing the evil"- it should take a good 20 seconds (or so) to "unleash". On the installations that failed for me it said "unleashing the evil" and immediately finished installing- and then the boot after that failed too....

Wipe 3x's?

Thanks for all the info. This morning I tried the download again from ROM mgr. and it worked fine Didn't do anything different but it worked!! Also, when you say wipe 3 x's, how do you do this? I installed today from ROM mgr. and it pops up to wipe and I check all boxes. After install is complete it auto boots into new build. Should I go back to recovery and wipe again or?? Thanks again.

Since I used the recovery to wipe, I was taking about wiping the 1) user data (factory re set), 2) the cache, and 3) the dalvik cache. If you're using the ROM manager, I'm sure what you did was fine. Truth is, I don't think all of the 3 wipes I did are always necessary especially if you're just upgrading from a previous build... Good luck!

Thanks! Went ahead and booted into recovery and did the wipes again anyway. Seems to be working great.

I had that problem last night.
What I did was go into Clockwork and installed google apps. Then rebooted and it went through the setup without any problem.

Thanks Cyanogen & Crew
Just wanted to say thanks to all that works on CM 10. I'm running the 9-6-12 nightly on My mobile Beastly S3 & we are very close to stable! Thanks for all your hard work.

Problem after reboot

My Galaxy Nexus with the update 3.16, yesterday after reboot it forgets my google account, today after a freeze i remove the battery, i noticed that it was in a boot loop, so i decided to enter in recovery, and flash again the 3.16 and AK 207 kernel with wipe cache and dalvik. It boot,but few apps, about 10 i think, vanished and all apps data lost, my data like photo video etc. still stay in memory. When i try to install from playstore for example "switfkey keyboard", i can't it give me an error 923 or like in case of "Where's my water?" the phone freeze.
Now i flashed the 28 march update, is there anyone like in my condition??Solution? I want recover my apps data
P.s.
i used PA from 11 febbruary and flashed any update wiping only cache and dalvik
THANKS to EVERYONE help me

Seems like data loss. Start fresh, flash factory images and start over - should be quite easier now. Could have been the kernel, or the ROM.

I think that my app all are still in memory, bacause i don't notice more free space in memory, and bacause if i try to install one of the svanished app it give me error "-24" now. What i care is to recover my app data, after that i can wipe all and make a clear flash.

At this point, I don't recommend anything else than a clean factory images flash.

OK, i think i haven't got other choice...:crying:

AOSP Keyboard crashes

Hey guys... Got a weird issue wherein every rom I install on my 8.9 Kindle (JEM) ... the AOSP keyboard crashes every time i try to use it...
Wouldnt normally care, would just install a different keyboard... But it crashes at the very begining of the loading of the rom... cant even connect to the network because I cant type in a password for it...
Anyone ever have an issue like this? Any suggestions on how to overcome the issue?
Ive tried CM10 (Old builds and new) and Ive tried PAC (Old builds and new... as well as stable builds)... all have the same effect... AOSP keyboard crashes as soon as I try to use it... everything else SEEMS to work ok...

You don't want to use older ROM builds. Use the most up to date ROM's for which ever ROM you choose. So lets make sure to do a clean flash. CM 10.2 to get you started. After the Gapps and ROM are on the internal SD card then swipe to factory reset and do this twice. Now flash the ROM and Gapps. After this is completed wipe Dalvik/CACHE only and repeat this twice. Now boot into system and see how you fare.
You can also try booting into recovery and wipe CACHE and DALVIK only and see if this clears things up. The reason I give these instructions is because the keyboard crashing, to my knowledge, was never really an issue using either CM stable builds.

Newer is not always better... but that point is moot...
I have wiped, rewiped, installed, wiped, wiped cahce, dalvik, reinstalled, wiped dalvik, wiped cache, ....
If theres a combination of installing and wiping to be done, Ive done it...
Workaround Ive found has been to install a google keyboard after skipping setup and then using the replacement keyboard as default... AOSP just fails...
(FYI.. not my only android device... so not really a noob at getting these things working...)

Newer is better when working with CM 10.2 as the newest build has given me no problems ever.
