Apparently freezing "Factory Mode" in TB gives you this problem. Unfroze it and counter resets.
Hey All,
I decided to give the stock JB another shot (big mistake, I know). This thing is so full of bugs its not even funny. When I get an SMS and read it then go back to the home screen, it still showing that I have a new message. The only way it will go away if I force close the app. I tried clearing the cash for the badge provider, no help. Deleted all my messages, no help. I am on a stock rooted JB. Any help appreciated.

Today I took a picture with my phone and my phone froze up shortly after viewing the picture for some odd reason. So I soft reset it with a battery pull. When I started my phone back up I received a few error messages. The first one was that the DRM Content process had stopped unexpectedly (I think this was happening before my phone froze up). The second one was that the Messaging process had stopped unexpectedly, and the third was Handcent stopping unexpectedly.
After this happened I tried opening up Handcent, to which it displays the same force close error for a split second and then automatically closes. I uninstalled Handcent and tried opening the regular Messaging application, to which it displays some sort of force close error for a split second and then closes.
I was running the SyndicateROM Frozen 1.1.0. I tried updating to the ACS SyndicateROM Frozen 1.1.1 to see if it would fix my problem. It didn't
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
You had journaling off. You can't reboot the phone without powering off or you wind up with data corruption and force closes. You need to reflash your rom and then use the re eable journaling zip in the development section. Also it wouldn't hurt if you researched things before posting, there have to be > 50 posts about this.

Download enable journaling from here:

Flash it after you reflash your rom.
I flashed the reenable journaling zip after reflashing my ROM. The DRM Content force close error still pops up when I boot up, and my Messaging is still crashing :/. What am I missing? Or could there be another problem?

Have you tried a different kernel? Or something you are restoring from Titanium or Mybackup is causing.
I would start from scratch go back to stock, reroot with cwm 3.0.2.5, d/l ext4 conversion here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109362, flash ext4 conversion, flash Frozen 1.1.1, flash journaling enable. Do not restore anything see if you still have the issue. If not then something you are restoring is causing your issue.
I don't have Titanium or Mybackup. The only backups I have are within CWM, made from flashing my ROM. I will try what you suggested, thanks.
Edit:
To go to stock, do I just wipe data/factor reset from CWM? Also is there any way to do what you said while still retaining all of my contacts/texts? I cannot lose my SMS history. There is valuable information within.

Mybackup does txt and sms backups. Make sure you do a nan backup also just in case. You need to odin back to stock. Go here for step by step

Okay, I tried a bunch of SMS backup programs to no avail. Every one I tried would either crash or throw an error when it tried to back up my text messages.
I went back to stock, wiped my data/cache/system, and then flashed back Frozen 1.1.1 again. Everything worked fine until I tried recovering my data. The Messages process crashes again after recovering my data
Is my SMS history unrecoverable?
Is sms crashing or just the back up of the sms? What are you using to back up and recover your txt?

The whole reason this started was because my SMS messages application started crashing. I am trying to recover my texts. I tried using 5 or 6 SMS backup utilities, but to no avail. I didn't try anymore because I figured none of them are going to work. Something in my SMS history is borked :/
Thinking the same thing sorry. Not sure if someone else has any ideas. Do you have a nan backup from before the issue started? Yeah you might lose some txt but not all.
I've been using my phone for quite some time now, Flashing ROMs and all sorts of stuff but one day while i was running on a Darkside ICS (4.0.3) Rom when all of a sudden all of my messages were randomly deleted without my notification and GoSMS was unable to act. I immediately took out my battery and rebooted.Upon doing so i noticed all of my messages were still gone so i just opened Titanium Back Up and then Restored my messages. Shortly after doing that GoSMS froze again(Even the original Messaging App) and all my messages were deleted again.I decided to go back to a older ROM (Paradox II 2.3.6) and went there and restored all my apps and messages..Guess what?Another problem.The Phone and Contacts stopped worked every time i attempted to use it. So after messing with other ROMS(Even Jamieson's JB ROM) i just said screw it and went back to Stock and rooted again. And i once again downloaded my Titanium Backup, Restored Apps, and then Restored Messages and after my messages finished restoring and i attempted to send a messages..GoSMS froze up and forced me to Pull the battery..And it's just been freezing up badly after this. At the moment i did a Darkside Super Cache wipe and is hoping for the best.If this dosen't work then can anyone give me some Help?These Messages and Picture messages are valuable to me and i really wish to keep them..Help?
And now i cannot even attempt to make calls or send a message.It just dosn't go through at all. .

I will definitely tell you it's in you app data...wipe all data to factory fresh and replace apps without data...and do not restore any system apps!i know it's a pain to redo settings but try that...

Oh and the best way to restore is to make a nandroid backup every few days so that way of something happen that would over write everything

From my experiences restoring TI backup apps/data from one version of android to another like ICS to JB, GB to ICS just ends up in total fail in so many ways. Bouncing back and forth like that it's just best to restore with NO data and re-configure the apps which shouldn't take long anyway.. At least a shorter amount of time than banging your head on the desk wondering why your apps keep crashing
Hey all.
I've encountered a very annoying problem, for some reason my text widget starts to crash. Scrolling down to the bottom there would be a "view more coversation" option but it opens a new text window instead, and if I try to quit it, it crashes the launcher. "Unfortunately, Launcher has stopped". This never happened to me before after I reflashed the stock image.
I was using stock rom and stock kernel all the time. and everything is the same after I flashed the factory image. I did recover a lot of texts. (Around 4000). But this I've recovered more before I flashed the image and there was no problem.
I've been able to find someone having the exact problem but using the LTE Verizon variant. Mine is GSM Yakuju.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=37785
Does anyone know how to fix this? I tried wiping everything, reflash everything and it just doesn't seem to work. This never happened when I updated to 4.1.1 the first time. This is confuse the hell out of me.
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.

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"
I have been using Messages 5.0 on my Galaxy S8+ (no root) for a while now, and I decided I wanted to go back to the stock version that came with the phone. So i uninstalled the updates and I got back to the stock version, but for some reason I cannot send text messages. When I press the "send" button, the message in the box literally just disappears. The thing is, when i go back to the Messages 5.0, it works perfectly fine, and using another messaging app such as Google Messages works fine as well. I have already rebooted the device, wiped the cache on my phone, cleared cache from the stock messages , and cleared the data from the stock messages. I do not want to factory reset because it is pretty unnecessary for a minuscule problem. Any help is appreciated because this is frustrating me and I cannot find any other threads anywhere that discuss this issue.
