[Q] Phone stuck on Android is upgrading.. Starting applications - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Last week I rooted my Xperia S, unlocked the bootloader, flashed XZXperience 2 and flashed RaymanX kernel.
Everything was working fine, today I formatted the Internal Storage using the Android OS and from CWM Factory reset, wipe cache partition and Dalvik cache. Phone booted ok again.
The problem is I installed something called Google Play cracked installer without thinking too much of what it was, and after formatting the phone my google play looked like a smily face still. From this Google play app I selected to reinstall stock Googleplay and reboot.
Now, the phone rebooted and said optimizing applications 1 of 1, and is constantly stuck on Android is upgrading.. Starting applications.
The battery cannot be removed and I cannot turn the phone off.
What should I do now? Before this I had Fastboot and CWM installed, now stuck in this loop
Thanks.

Found out if you hole Volume up and Power button for 5 seconds it hard resets/turns off.
Did that, turned phone back on and seems to have booted back into the phone.

The thing is that I had that Cracked Play Market too, just wanted to unlock the country restrictions but it didn't work, you could have just deleted the Vending.apk from system/apps and then reinstall the original Play market : ) It worked for me.
Maybe you know but, always try backuping your rom before doing something, I messed up my phone once and after that doing backup everytime when trying something new

Dude,
Don't use any cracked apps or installers. They carry viruses and other dodgy push apps which can fill your phone with rubbish and worse case leave it bricked.
Just leave them well alone.

Crash and reset when trying to update apps

Hey all,
My note 2 is locking up after I install or update an app in the play store, then restarts. The app update goes through successfully, but then locks up afterwards regardless of what I do next. This happens on both Wifi and HSPA.
My phone is rooted with the stock ROM.
Some apps were backed up and restored via Titanium Backup. I believe it has to do with these apps. Some apps' data was on the SD card. I uninstalled those apps, but it hasn't helped. The crash happens regardless of the app I update or install, whether or not it was restored via Titanium, downloaded for the first time from the market, or an app that came stock on the phone.
I tried clearing dalvik cache, but that hasn't helped. I tried pulling logs via logcat, but I can't find anything useful.
Any suggestions before I start uninstalling those apps one by one?
Thanks!
Here are three log cats from the time of crash.
File 1044pm: Updated an app via WiFi, then opened another app; it froze up on the Loading screen and restarted after about 1 minute.
File 1108pm: Updated an app via Wifi, then pulled down the notifications bar; it got stuck about 90% of the way down and locked up and restarted after about 1 minute. (System starts killing processes around line 32178)
File 1140pm: Updated an app via HSPA, then did nothing; phone restarted after about 90 seconds.
(System starts killing processes around line 28248)
If anyone has enough knowledge to tell me what might have happened, I would be very grateful!

[Q] Incredible reinstall CM7.2, gapps issue, and Force Close problems

I have been very thankful for CM7.2 and my rooted Droid Incredible. Its been a great phone for me and saved me tons of money by staying a great device to use. However I recently ran into some issues that made me think I needed to do a factory reset, wipe, and reinstall CM 7.2 and google apps.
So I downloaded the CM 7.2 for droid Inc and the gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip file. I did a factory reset from within the phone privacy settings and rebooted into recovery using Rom Manager. I then wipe the data and cache and installed CM 7.2 and then the google apps. After a restart though, the google apps had not installed and I got multiple force closes. In addition, all the google accounts were still saved which I didn't expect since I had done a factory reset and wiped all the data. Even the Wifi passwords were still saved because I didn't have to enter any to access wifi. Some apps were still installed as well like Contacts +. So it seems like something didn't go right with the install.
If I installed gmail, google voice, etc from Google Play store on my phone, then I would get a Package Installer error and it would force close causing the app to not install. I could install apps to my phone using the Google Play store website on a computer. When I restarted my phone though all the newly installed apps would be gone and I would have to install them again. I made sure I was installing them to the phone and not the SD Card as well.
Other things aren't working right either. For instance the adw.launcher home button doesn't take me back to the default home screen. Pushing the button I get haptic feedback but no action for it. No setting for it under "settings" caused any change.
I did clear data on the google play store thinking that would help with the install of the apps but that didn't help either. I still get force close issues.
I am at a loss at this point and not sure what to do next.

[Q] Gio + Cyanogen 11 - Wifi

Hello all,
I need some advice. I have tried CM11 roms and Gapps packages, only to break the keyboard or break the audio or severely ruin something, or have no working market place (google play)
I finally got everything working perfect and rebooted to do a nandroid and now the wireless is greyed out and will never turn on. I wiped and started over, setup my phone rebooted, wireless stopped working. I have come to realize that I can never reboot or power down or i have to wipe my phone and start over, as wifi is effectively permanently disabled, I have tried clearing cache and data on the settings app, i have tried rebooting, using CWM recovery menu to "Fix permission" or try reverting to previous backups like the ones i took after i setup my phone, but they no longer have wifi since i rebooted them too. for some ridiculous reason. I cannot ever reboot, run out of battery, etc,.. or i have to reformat and reconfigure all my settings its driving me insane. I've spent a few days with holding swears and refraining from throwing the phone lol.
Please help
I used KitKat 4.4.2 (CyanogenMod 11.0) 20140116 From NovaFusion and i found a Gio-Gapps-4.4.2.zip online it appears to be the only combination that isn't a total horrendous broken mess without audio, keyboard or play store can't even find google servers. Please any recommendation for fixing my wifi or maybe links to an updated or better version of cm would work?
P.S. Jenkins CM11 just says (Status 0) Installation Exiting, and won't install either.
For latest cm11(from jenkins maybe), u need CWM 6.0.5.3 recovery.
Thank you very much =), I have a new problem now though. I installed CWM from the link you gave me and Jenkins installed, then i factory reset, wiped cache, and wiped dalvik, and rebooted. The Setupwizard crashes though and I can't go any further, I tried flashing Gio-KK-Gapps-4.4.0.zip and rebooted and its still crashes. Any advice?
Follow this process:
1. Do a clean install of cm11.
2. Reboot & wait for home screen.
3. Switch off & then flash G-Apps.
4. Reboot.
If still force close occurs, just press home button & wait until home screen appears.
Or u may try different G-Apps.:thumbup:
Hope this helps...!!
Btw...there's thanks button for ur ease
Everything works except the keyboard, but i uninstalled the keyboard and used ADB to install a new one. Thank you very much for your help =)!
ur welcome bro

Pandora stopped working, stuck at splash

Hello all. Hoping someone can help me figure out why Pandora has stopped working on my N7 2013. It is fairly new, got it for Xmas. It is unlocked and rooted, but running the stock 4.3 rom (no interest in 4.4+ at this time).
Pandora was working fine at first, but when I opened it yesterday, it gave me an error, saying something like "your pandora session has timed out", and kicked me out of the app. Opened it back up, and it was stuck at the splash. Left it for several minutes, and nothing. So I force closed it, cleared it's data and cache, and reopened it, same problem. Uninstalled it, reinstalled it, same problem.
Went into recovery, cleared dalvik and cache, booted back up, reinstalled Pandora, same problem. So finally, I made a titanium backup of all my apps (no system settings), did a factory reset, restored my backed up apps, everything EXCEPT Pandora, downloaded that fresh from the play store, opened it, same problem... wtf???
Ok, fine, it wants to play hard ball... so I did another factory reset, then wiped data, cache and dalvik seperately. Booted, set up my google account, and didn't install ANYTHING, EXCEPT for Pandora.
SAME PROBLEM!!
What is going on here??? For what it's worth, Pandora still works fine on my phone (Rooted 4.3 GS4). So it's not a server outage or anything like that. This has been going on since last night.
My last ditch effort would be to restore the factory image, then unlock and reroot again but damn... what could possible be stuck so bad as to survive all that? I have not modified /system/ at all except for installing busybox and supersu.
... well... what the heck. So I flashed the factory image, and now, finally, Pandora is working again.
I can't think what the heck would have happened in /system/ or anywhere else other than /data/ that would stick through a factory reset and keep Pandora from working....
Any ideas? I really, REALLY want to avoid this happening again.
Upgrade
I have installed Pandora v5.5
I don't think it is available in the Play Store yet. It could be an issue with ART and Lollipop. Flashing a stock older image could be what works with that version.
I only see Pandora 5.4 in the Play Store.
5.5 brings a new Interface and some really cool features. You have to find it online and side load it. Probably what your problem is/was.

HELP!!!

Hello. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 that I rooted several months ago. When I rooted it, I removed bluetooth drivers on accident. Today, I decided to backup all my data to my SD Card and factory reset it. And I did. That's where **** went downhill. Upon the tablet rebooting, I discovered that I cannot download anything in Google Play (mind you, SD Card has not been put back in since I removed it before factory reset). Now I have spent 8 hours googling how to fix it and everything I have done does not work. I have removed the google account, rebooted, and re-added the account (exactly 21 times now), I have factory reset it a dozen times, I have cleared all data and cache (in system settings for the apps (Google Play and Google Play Services) along with in the tablet's boot settings as well. I have logged into my account on a computer and removed the tablet and re-added it. I have tried downloading it from Chrome and it won't download at all. I even went as far as to un-root the tablet and do everything over again, step by agonizing step. And no. Not. A. God. Damn. Thing. Has. Worked. By now I am extremely pissed and I would love to get this stupid problem fixed. I would greatly appreciate any and all help sent my way.
The time and date is set correctly and the Root Explorer didn't work. Thank you for your reply though.
