CM7 - Most Apps Force Closing

Hey guys,
I just flashed the CM7 RC, which CM stated to pretty stable and fine for everyday use. I downloaded the RC from within ROM Manager and did a wipe. Install went perfect and everything was as it should be. I then go into Market to download the Google Apps. When I try to open any of these apps though they all force close. I went and tried to download a few other apps(FB, Twitter, etc) and they all do the same. The apps that came with the ROM (Torch, FileManager,ROM Manager) all work fine...
I tried a reboot, but the problems continue.
I guess I'll try to flash again form the SD-Card this time to see if it has the same problems.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Incredible510

Read through the development thread, people are having problems with rc 1 build.
For the time being, im sticking to nightliessince they are stable most of the time.

Ok thanks.
Do you know the differences between the RC and the nightly builds?

From what i have gathered, nightlies continue to be in development wirh new rhings being added. Rc are bundled wirh the most best applicable things and left as is...or to shiw what the final build will look like.
Nightlies continue even after final build most of the time.
A senior member might want to chime in on this as well.
Edit....in newer builds my simeji app seems to be colliding with android keyboard ap via adw launcher...dont know what to do haha.

Apps will FC because its gingerbread. Also this is a known problem with GB and CM7.

Oh ok. So its on the app side.
So i went and downloaded it again, this time flashing from the SD-Card. Everything came up fine, but when I started up I didnt go through a google account setup and theres no market.
Any way to get the market app?
Thanks

Here is the deal, first the permissions are not right when you are getting the FCs. Go into rom manager and click fix permissions. Also I thought this forum had intelligent members .... gingerbread is not to blame for any force closing. It is completely backwards compatible. I am running CM7 RC and it is working after 2 tries and fixed permissions. No problems.

And you forgot to download the Google apps package with your CM7. You will have to redownload and reinstall to get the market back on until they release a separate Google apps add on for GB

Ok thanks, but where is that Google Apps Package download?
It came with the download from ROM Manager, but not when I downloaded it from CM's site(http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/file/220-update-cm-700-rc1-inc-signedzip/).
If you could direct me to the download that includes the GApps it would be really appreciated it.
Thanks.

Thank You So Much!
This fixed all problems.

I'm also running CM7 RC1 with zero problems. When I first installed it, I got tons of FC's on the first boot. I rebooted into recovery and did a factory reset. After that, everything has been running fantastic.

Everything has been fine for me running cm 7. Now today, force closes on anything internet related. Browsers, reader, market etc... Have fixed permissions, flashed clean on a factory reset. Any ideas?? Also are there other apps that fix permissions besides rom manager?
Edit: Got everything working off a clean install. Oh and cwrecovery fixes permissions (face palm).

Maybe unrelated but why does setcpu never give an accurate core speed report using the widget? Example: two hours ago I set the CPU to 1113 to test neocore. After the test I idled it back down to 998. The widget never updated and now two hours later it still hasn't updated and it still says its at 1113. The only way to get the widget to reflect my current setting is to remove it and then place it back on the screen.

Setvsel won't start?

Just rooted my Defy with Superoneclick and downloaded Setvsel. My problem is that the oc-program won't start. The screen just goes black and after i while i have to force it to shutdown. Anyone knows why it does this?

Do you have 2nd Init instaled? If so, there's an option to enable oc and after that setvsel will work. Another option is install Droidoverclock(if a remember well), and enable oc, then setvsel works too.

No i dont have "2nd Init" installed, didn't know that it was required to run Setvsel.

It's not a pre requisite, but it enable oc feature in android. Install Milestone Overclock from market. Milestone OC will enable the same feature, and after that setvsel will work.

I've just installed Milestone Overclock and when i start it comes to a screen where i have two options: "Load module" and "Refresh". Under these options is a slider that says "Selected frequency: 550MHz 56 vsel (Default)". And under the slider is an box greyed out due to the fact that i don't have my sd-card installed (took it out when i rooted the phone). Sadly none of the options, "Load module" and "Refresh" that is, seems to work. What am i doing wrong? I thought it was as simple as rooting the phone and then play around with Setvsel.

Which version of android you're running?
I'm running leaked 2.3.3-112, with enabled oc in 2nd init.
When Milestone OC starts on my phone, the first button is "Unload module", because the oc is already enabled, and in your case, you have to click on "Load Module", but if is not working, i don't know why. This module is used for setvsel.

I'm running Android 2.2 (Froyo). But during all this time i have had the usb-cable connected to my computer and USB debugging enabled, But that shouldn't matter should it?

install milestone overclock...click on load module..dont care wat it does or wat it doesnt..now open setvsel..it should be working by now..
if it is still not working then uninstall and then reinstall milestone overclock after a reboot
hope it helps

So this is excatly what i did yesterday, i describe it thoroughly so someone with more knowledge maybe can spot what i did wrong.
1. Downloaded The newest version of Superoneclick
2. Downloaded the newest drivers for my Defy from the Motorola website, named "Download Motorola 5.0 Driver with MotoHelper", and installed them.
3. Dismounted the sd-card
4. Turned on USB-debugging in the settings-menu.
5. Connected my Defy to my computer and rooted it (since i'm not on Vista or Win7 i just doubleclicked on the program and pushed the root button). Everything worked fine so far and the "superuser" icon apperad shorlty after.
6. Now i downloaded Setvsel and tried to start it up. I was treated to a black screen but i kept on waiting for something to happen. After about 30s i got a message that the program can't launch and internetaddress.
7. After the advice that i should download "2nd Ini" i did so but that program wouldn't launch either. Then i tried with Milestone Overclock but only got to the screen where the "load module" option is and after having pushed that button the program just hangs and i have to push tha backbutton repeatedly to force the program to shutdown.
So i don't understand what's wrong i thought it was as simple as rooting my phone and then install Setvsel and play around with it? Never heard that Setvsel requires 2nd Init or Milestone to work.

yup.it will hang...let it hang...did u see whether setvsel was working after tat?it should work

No, i uninstalled it after Milestone OC just hang. I reckoned i must get into Milestone first to make SetVsel work. Don't understand why SetVsel won't work after i rooted it and why i must install another program to make it start. No one mentioned this to me, all i heard was "root your phone, install SetVsel and give it a go".

same thing used to happened to me too..milestone OC used to hang when load module was pressed...but after tat setvsel used to work...
do this..uninstall both and reinstall both..dont run setvsel...first run milestone OC..and click on load module..now open setvsel...this should work..it always works..

Ok. I'm just so fed up with the whole business right now, but i'll try later this evening maybe. I just want to understand why SetVsel won't start the easy way (without involving Milestone). For alot of people it does, maybe i'm doing something wrong that will brick my phone somehow?

nope this wont brick ur phone.even i was fed up of this setvsel problem in the beginning..i rerooted 5 times to make it work...atlast i thought to use milestone oc instead of setvsel..but later i noticed tat setvsel was working...after few hrs i installed new rom..followed same process..and it was working..make sure u have latest version of setvsel...

But didn't Milestone OC hang for you aswell? So what you suggest is. Install Milestone and SetVSel. Start Milestone and push "load module" and then when it hangs, what should i do? Force it to shutdown by pushing the back-button and then try to start SetVsel?

it shouldnt hang...and even if it hangs then close it and open setvsel...see if its working or not...hope for the best

Yeah will do so. It's just frustrating that SetVsel won't work from the beginning the way i've read it does for alot of people. Maybe there's a OC-program that works right from the start on my phone. Will post on other forums an see what they have to say about it. I'm a curious person and it's in my nature to want to understand the reasons when i encounter a problem rather than go around it without understanding what i'm doing. I've overclocked alot ot computers and now my way around a BIOS, but on my phone i can't even get in at the moment

After install setvsel, run it. Superuser permission will pop out, then allow it. After you allow it, it should run ok. If nothing pop out, setvsel cannot run and will hang. Try reset factory first then re install

No "superuser permission box" popped up when i first started SetVsel. Strange since i can see the superuser icon clearly among the apps meaning that i rooted it correctly. Am thinking of trying to install CM7 instead. Have read how to do it and sadly it seems as a rather lenthy process. I fear that since the simple process of rooting and running SetVsel didn't work ,installing CM7 will be impossible

Going to cm7 will be a good choice. Read cm7 faq before proceeding

[EC07][KERNEL] Hacked Stock Kernel

Still haven't figure out how to build a kernel from source for the Continuum, but I can still hack the stock kernel to add some functionality to it. Since this stock, you can't expect to much, but I did what I could. I made a few memory management changes to try and get the phone to run a little better. Added a root script that will auto-root the phone on boot, you'll still need the Superuser app if you don't already have it (find it in the market). Also added init.d support for those that have busybox and cleaned up the ramdisk and such a lot. Also, this should enable custom boot animations. Put a bootanimation.zip file in /system/media/ or /data/local/ and it should display when your phone boots up. I had one person test it, and they say it works for them, so I'm hoping it works for everyone else here. Download and flash in CWM.

ChainsDD updated Superuser and the su binary tonight (of course) so I updated it in the kernel. No need to re-download unless you really want to, you can update the su binary via the Superuser app. Download link remains the same, so anyone that hasn't yet downloaded will get the updated version.

So youre saying you have source but dont know how to do it?

The source that "we" have is from the Fascinate/Mesmerize. It has the stuff in there for the Continuum, but the times I have tried to build off of it, the resulting kernel doesn't boot. Not sure if what is there is just incomplete, or if the config is off. Feel free to try and get it working. Use the garnett_03_defconfig (or similar) as the base.

Since i already had root, bb 1.84 and su installed, i should be good. I'll run su and update the binaries to be safe, though. Thanks for the heads up

Uh is there a reason my phone hangs at the Samsung logo after installing this?
EDIT: ...Forget I said that...

yea it will probably take a minute for the first boot since ite rewriting most of the system but after the first one u should be good.
imnuts thank u so much for this u have no idea how bad ive been wanting to get rid of the verizon boot lol

imnuts! thanks allot! You rock! testing now.
Animation works! so far all running good! gonna get some scripts in and let it run!

After installing my phone seems to stall a little on some apps. Like I was listening to music using UberMusic and it would skip kind of like an old CD player. And while I was listening to music I tried to open the XDA app and my phone completely froze. I couldn't open the task manager or anything. Had to pull the battery. With every reboot it seems to get worse

Try setting your cpu min above 400
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App

I had my first ever auto-reboot on the Continuum just a few minutes ago. Brought me back to my days of toying with my Hero. And things do seem laggy since the install.
Guess I'll need to install the old kernel back, if'n it's a separate installable download. Can't remember.

If more people start having issues with it lagging or rebooting, I can undo the changes to the memory management and create a second version then. I used the same settings that I had setup on the Charge, and small hardware differences could make the settings not work properly.

Isn't there a fundamental flaw with memory management in the Froyo builds for our Continuums? I have programs running that load from scratch when I switch back to them all the time. There are games on my phone that I lose all my progress if I switch from the game to anything else. I had the Fascinate and pushed it hard and never observed any of these issues, and I was using a Froyo build on there. As I understand it, the Fascinate and Continuum have basically the same hardware.
Granted, I hadn't had any auto-reboots until this last kernel, but I've had memory issues ever since putting any Froyo build on this Continuum.
I've just held out hope that someone will either release a new rom or find out how to make these Froyo builds run as efficiently as the ones for the Fascinate.
Either way, my Continuum is a more enjoyable phone today than it has ever been before!

I've had two auto reboots since I installed the new kernel and it never happened before

Itvhas to be the changes he made last night. My phone is running fine. Not much snapper, but no issues either

Ok, I've updated the OP with new download links. The original one is the first download, custom boot animations and custom memory management settings. The second download has the custom memory management removed. The third download has the custom memory management, but retains the stock boot animation, and the last download is stock boot animations and stock memory management.
As for why people may have issues with memory on the Continuum and not the Fascinate, which is the same basic hardware. My guess is that it's due to the ticker. The fascinate doesn't need to have softkey images loaded into memory, or any of the ticker functions/images/services/etc. It may not seem like much, but a few added MBs of memory usage could make the difference people are seeing. I did have a few games on my Fascinate, and now my Charge, that would re-load if I went back to the home screen (Angry Birds and Plants v. Zombies). Hopefully the stock memory settings clear up the issues folks have had. I may also be able to add a few items back in as I suspect the major culprit was the low memory killer settings.

Lag on every single rom

Hello!
In last few months I've installed many roms on my wfs. When I install the rom everything is okay. No lags, everything works great. But then in few days rom starts lagging, some of the apps crashes and that is annoying! Got that lags even on stock rom!!
What is the reason of that lags? Can it be fixed somehow?

do u wipe data on ur phone as well as cache??
u shud atleast wipe cache in a week so as to free space.
lagging is caused due to various app activity in background. so free up ur ram and unnecessary apps.
make use of adrenaline engine,v6 supercharger and all stuff.
theres also an app calld pimp my rom.
Do check if its available fo ur device

I have tryed some Sense 2.1 and 3.5 roms, cm9, cm10, cm10.1 mod, paranoid android, roboto mod, speed droid, jelly king, I don't remember any more. Stock kernel

whether you install those mods everytime you install a rom ??? (those on your signature adreno200, link2sd, beats...)
or is this lag persist even you flashed rom only without mods.. ??

Actually it happens with everyone. The problem is apps start to collect the data and the memory gets full bit by bit.
Also you may not realise manu apps automatically run in background. Try some of these tricks which i use to keep the phone healthy.
-Download sd booster and set cache to 1024
-Download ram manager and set the profile to balance and lock launcher in memory
-Integrate the apps you use a lot like whats app into system so as they are a bit faster to run. Remember just crucial coz system has its limit too.
-Download rom manager pro coz it has a great startup manager and jut untick the profiles. Remember only untick those which you don't want to run.
-Keep clearing cache every week.
-Disable all stupid apps from startup.
-Find a good frequency and governer for your phone.
-Uninstall crap apps and stupid system files.
I hope that'd help.

Auroraplay v1.1.0

Hi,
Since i can't post in the thread, so I just highlight in here.
I've been using this rom for about a month. This rom is really nice but since the new update, it gets even better. Only one small thing, the LED flashlight widget in the quickpanel didn't show up although you have tick it in the settings.
That's all. I hope someone could tell this to Spizzy01 so that he can fix this.
Thanks...

Aurora Play Problems
Hello,
I just installed Aurora Play 1.1.0 and I am having problems which I think might be related to superuser.
The Rom works fine, but anything that requires root access gets frozen in place. My phone is rooted, I am pretty sure of it - not only the bootloader is unlocked but also, I did manage to initially change the clock speed to 1.4 ghz, and that change has remained so far.
However, if, for example, I try enabling root access on the ES File Explorer, it simply freezes the app (sort of like it is waiting for the confirmation from Superuser, but it never comes). I only ever saw the superuser authorization screen once when I changed the clock at first.
I am pretty sure the OC is not the problem, since I reinstalled the rom and did no OC on the 1st time at all, but the same problem persisted.
I would try uninstalling SU and installing that other superuser app on the market to see if that would solve the problem, but I couldn't manage to uninstall it.
Any thoughts on this? I would love to solve this problem since this room is outstanding on all other accounts.
PS.: I followed all instructions to the letter, and like I said I tried reinstalling the rom already. I am using Lupus v10 (tried Lupus v11 before on the 1st installation).

Can CWM coexist with TWRP? I think I only have TWRP installed. Or can I just use TWRP instead?

missing pixels in landscape app drawer
Spizzy, first and foremost congratulations on this great rom, it is fantastic! The only gripe I'm having is that when the app drawer is in Landscape mode it is cutting some pixels on the bottom (can't see the lower end of the blue highlight when using the ps controls). Other than that, all is perfect so far.

It worked!
Thanks a lot, Spizzy! Whatever that package was, it worked great and now superuser is not giving me any headaches anymore. Everything works great and the rom is blazing fast!
Just one thing - when I checked the info that comes up on the pachage before installing it, it said it was for locked bootloaders, but I assume that was a typo (since the zip file is for unlocked, and mine is unlocked as well). Just mentioning since it could maybe cause a little confusion on people downloading it in the future.
Oh and I did use TWRP in the end - I guess it's the same thing.
