CM7 Final - Many Force closes from Launcher Pro

Hi, I'm running cm7.0 stable and I used titanium backup to restore my apps+data when I flashed this rom. I am continuing to get force closes quite often. I did uninstall and reinstall launcher pro once to see if that would help and it didn't help. I was running WidgetLocker homescreen and disabled that for a bit and it didn't happen as often. Is there anything I can do to correct this? I had read somewhere when installing a fresh rom to not restore data or possibly even apps? If I flash cm7 again over my current one will all apps and settings stay untouched?
I also just read about cm7.0.2.1, should I download this? I do eventually want to step forward as stable releases come out. Will I have to wipe anything again and if I were to download and install the rom through rom manager would all my apps and settings stay untouched?
I noticed Rom Manager also has an updates feature for premium users, is this the nightly updates and not the stable versions? Or is it the same as the stable versions but just updates it rather than flashing the entire rom? Thanks in advance for any help received here!

I was having this same problem earlier today. When restoring with Titanium Backup, you can't use the batch feature to restore any apps...you're going to have to go to the Backup/Restore tab and restore each app you want individually. For some reason the release can't handle the data (which I suppose makes sense because of all the irrelevant system files). (So don't worry about LauncherPro or WidgetLocker, they're not causing the problem.)
To fix it, you're going to need to reflash the ROM (or recover a backup if you made one before you recovered your apps through TB), and then when you want your apps, what you'll end up doing is going into TB, hitting the Backup/Restore tab, and go through the list of apps >> find one you want to restore and click/touch it >> hit "Restore" >> hit "App only".
Also, I would download 7.0.2.1 -- it's the latest release, and as far as I know, it is extremely stable. If you're unsure about certain releases, ROM Manager does have a comment/rating section with each release, and you can get a good idea as to how stable it is there.
I'm not too sure about the ROM Manager/updating question, though, and would be interested in hearing the answer, as well.
Let us know if you have any more questions!

Each rom is different so if your trying to restore system apps from one rom to another it usually will not work especially if your going from say a sense rom to gingerbread. Uninstall the apps that fc and try just restoring the app minus data.. good luck
As long as your using a rom manager supported rom it knows what rom your using and will give you updates for your rom 7.0.2.1 just fixes camera and is stated stable nand first and if you update w/o wipe and it messes with anything just restore and wipe before update

I have a feeling that its more of a permissions issue. Running Titanium backup and restoring your apps is not a problem at all. run the batch then select restore all apps with data. Once the list of apps comes up make sure the radio button that says "App only" is the one that is selected. If you restore the data that could cause issues.

I forgot to mention I did fix permissions with Root Tools. Anyone know about ROM manager and how it updates. If I go to 7.0.2.1 and there is a 7.3 does it install over the last one? And the update feature for Premium Users only to get access to the nightlys?

Yes it does install over the other one and you can keep all of your existing data without having to restore it. I'd suggest not using ROM manager, but I do believe the nightlies are for premium users in ROM manager.

Thanks for the help guys. I am going to install cm7.0.2.1 very soon and restore only apps without the data. It's a pain because I have so many! But I'll do it right this time. One last question, the google apps zip (gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip) I used to install after cm7.0 stable, can I use the same one for the new version? Or did something change?

That has not changed. You can use the same one

Thanks everyone for the help! I wiped my phone and successfully installed the new version of cm7 yesterday. I manually installed all of my apps again and got it setup and configured once again without any issues or force closes. My phone is running very smooth now!

I get the same thing sometimes on my phone. Launcher pro is force closing because its waiting on the sd card to finish mounting. In gingerbread it takes a hell of a long time for the sd card to mount, just let your phone sit for a min or two and you shouldn't have any problems. Also if you hit wait instead of force close it'll start working right after. No need to reflash the rom or anything else.

[Q] restore apps from market after full wipe

Hi all I got this problem and it happened only once that after a full wipe, my apps has been reinstalled by theirself when i booted up for 1st time.
now it is not happening anymore and when i do full wipe, i have to remember all the apps io downloaded and reinstall them again.
is there a solution? dont tell me to use titanium bck please cos android should do that automatically! thanks
i looked around on found this, same problem different "phone" but none solutions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117511

What ROM were you on and what were you going to? I've found if you've wiped and got to a new build (e.g. 4.0.3 to 4.0.4) then it doesn't automatically do it

thanks for answering!
Im using AOKP, 21 before and now 22 (403), always used this after the stock rom, with AOKP have never been restored :/

I think it has something to do with your Google account. I have the same problem and it was ages ago the phone auto installed my market app. I do change rom quite often and i do not like TB to restore apps.
In your goggle account, I don't remember exactly where you can se a list of your devices and their apps. Same device can show as different ones in your account probably due to different build.prop or something like that.
So my theory is that you can only have a limited amount of devices with auto restored apps. Or Google doesn't recognice your device as the same one after you have flashed it with some custom rom.

[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.

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.

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?

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] Grey Signal Bars on JellyBean

Ever since I got my phone onto the Jellybean update I've had Grey signal bars on my phone and have no idea why. I am connected to WiFi and data works just fine, sync is working just fine too. I'm connected to the house WiFi and even that comes up as grey.
I had to do some small things to my phone which may have messed this up slightly to get the Jellybean upgrade. I ahd to reflash stock 4.0.4 via Galaxy Nexus Toolkit because when I got the update message originally I had CWMTouch installed, when the device tried to flash the update CWM said it wasn't a valid file and didn't flash it. My phone then insisted it was up to date until I reflashed. Upon reflashing I didn't go through the normal setup procedure. I skipped adding my Google Account because I knew I ahd a TitaniumBackup to restore from which I thought would restore my account (it didn't... possibly due to JB vs ICS). So I connected the phone to WiFi and let it downladd and install the JB update then ran Titanium Backup and then added my Google Account. Since the JB upgrade its been constant grey signal though. Could adding the google account via settings have messed it up?

what happens when you open gtalk?
also, never use titanium to back up anything but apps and their data. anything system oriented thats backed up and restored will cause these gremlins eventually. what you can do is data wipe(factory reset), sign into your google account, then restore your apps via titanium.

Gtalk shows my contacts list but with everyone offline including me. So yeah looks like **** ain't working... Do I need to reflash or will a data wipe suffice?
In future I'll just restore the Apps using TItanium.

wipe and reflash is usually best.

Just wiping has done the trick. Back to Blue bars.
Just an aside though: Why the hell is everything in the market showing as incompatible with my device? This is stock 4.1.1, rooted and with the DPI reduced to 280 by a build.prop editor. What gives?
Just a quick edit: Decided that I should probably reflash to be safe anyway. Doing that now.

your dpi breaks the market, and some other apps. bring it back to 320 and itll be alright.

Oh ok... makes sort of sense. There's something in JB that has the Market check the DPI before installing. Ok, I'll stick to the default then.
Problem now though: Its not seeing there's an OTA update for it after going back to 4.0.4.

[FIXED] "Your Device Isn't Compatible with This Version"

IT IS WORKING NOW.
Quick background. I have the SPH-L900, but I am on Sprint's MVNO Ting. Before I activated it, I rooted it and downloaded several apps. Some of the apps are Paid apps, the others are free. During activation Ting asked if they could do a factory reset and I said yes. I never lost root, but lost all my personal information and my apps. Now the apps that I had successfully downloaded before, I cannot download now.
I do have Rom Manager Premium and Rom Toolbox Pro, if that will help solve my problem.
Be clear, because I am new to all this.
Oh, I did send an E-Mail to Cloud.TV for HD Widgets, but didn't get a reply.(2 days) Since I did pay, I hoped they would solve the problem for their app and maybe I could use that information to fix the rest.
Please help

Re: [Q] "Your Device Isn't Compatible with This Version"
I had the same problem and it turned out to be the dpi... make sure your build.prop has 320 dpi in both parts and clear cache
after you do this and install your apps you can revert to whatever dpi you want

It didn't work. I made sure the DPI is 320. (Yes, I had changed it to 280) I then used ROM Toolbox to wipe both caches. Rebooted and still got the error on the Play Store.

It is working now. The only thing I did, after trying everything in search, plus what reinaldistic suggested is to go to Settings and then to System Update. Then asking for an update for every choice they gave me.
I do not know if that is what worked or it was something else.
