[Q] Gin2JB 2.5.2 huge problem with Force Closes. - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I've just updated this fantastic ROM to the latest version, which seems like a huge mistake...
The problem is I keep getting spammed with force closes. Random apps that run in the background get abruptly closed and I get the message about it. It's quite often.
What's worse is that some apps just straight up refuse to run and force close. Game Guides, Dolphin, Titanium Backup, Ebay, FPSe, Opera, just to name a few...
As I'm sure you can imagine this is a pretty BIG problem. Any help figuring this out would be awesome.
I'm using a Sony Ericsson Xperia Play r800i
Update: I use Link2SD and I figured that maybe that had something to do with it. I un-linked a couple of apps, one at a time, and found that after a restart of the device they'd work again. I still get FCs every now and then on the same apps, but it's progress I suppose and a sign of what the problem could be.
Update 2: I think I figured out the problem. In my haste I didn't think about the Dalvik Cache... Cleared it up and now it seems to run smoother and I haven't seen a FC yet (15 minutes in). Apologies for potentially wasting someone's time.

[Q] G2 Apps Start Force Closing

On my G2, I've noticed that previously perfectly working apps will suddenly stop working, giving me a force close error whenever I try to launch them after being installed for a period of time. The only way I've been able to fix it is by uninstalling and then reinstalling the application.
Has this occurred to anyone else? And what should I do to fix this problem?
yes, i had this problem a few days ago...i did a factory reset and everything works fine as of now.
are there any solutions that don't require a wipe?
i had to wipe, and i lost all my mileage records i had entered into the mileage app, and my text messages before i backed them up...
its not too bad when its 2 weeks worth of information... but if this is going to occur often, its not going to be pretty
The two times that happened to me a simple power off/power on worked and they stopped Force Closing. I'm taking it that it didn't work in your situation and the uninstall/reinstall was the only fix?
yea i tried rebooting it several times, but after my latest wipe, nothing bad has happened...
still an issue that should be raised if its been replicated more than once
Ive had this problem with the stock browser and twitter, rebooting seemed to fix it.
Ah, one of those times where fix_permissions would be nice.
I've had to uninstall and re-install several of my apps because they've been force closing.

I've had this happen and it was acting really weird before it did it. It did like a vicious reboot and just about any app other than stock got a force close upon opening. It's gotta be software issues, god I hate stock roms. Damn TMobile and trying to restricting our joy of root.

This is starting to happen to me on my G2 as well now. I have uninstalled the Apps I could (except the preinstalled ones) and still they are force closing on me. I also have Factory Reset the phone several times and it still is happening. I have already exchanged my G2 once at Walmart for a flickering screen but im pretty sure the 14 days are up now with them. At this point I'm sure I have to call Tmobile.
Anyone have any ideas before I call T-Mobile?
I'm not rooted at all just plain stock.
Thanks

[Q] incredibly re-engineered 2.4 keeps crashing

so i've had this for a few weeks now, it was working great up until last week, when random apps just started shutting down...today has been the far worst, i can't do anything on it right now except make calls,txting is down and all apps are randomly shutting down..."sorry application.... has stopped unexpectedly" has popped up for just about everything from internet to good framework to other things i didn't get to jot down in time. this is my first flash, and as i stated went initially well but i would like to get my phone up and running normal again, please help, thanks
You could try "Fixing Permissions" from ROM Manager.. however, if that doesn't work.. I'd consider reflashing the ROM. Are you on the stock kernel as well?
I've had problems like these with 2.4 but mine actually just started boot looping after all the fcs I got... I would just fresh install 2.4
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
so phone was pretty much a paper weight on sunday...decided to reflash ROM, working great now....but i do have to ask
-is there a way to prevent this from happening again
-still need to figure out how to update google maps and facebook, will not install from market...thanks.
I don't know of a way to prevent it from happening but, to update those apps just remove and then re-install from the market
worked thanks a lot....have u ever encountered service issues when going thru these rom changes...like txts not coming thru?
well spoke to soon....phone crashed out on me again...really no idea what's goin on..HELP!!! please thanks
edit: reflashing phone...tried fixing permissions to stop force closings..didn't work
throwing in the towel...have followed all steps to a T and still phone continues to crash and force close EVERYTHING and at this point have lost all my data in the process...giving CM7 a shot, hopefully that goes better
cm7 is practically flawless. no sense you have more space for apps

Is anyone else finding their Arc starting to lag?

I have had my Arc since it first came out in the UK but have noticed on occasions of late that it seems to have developed a lag, especially on things like accessing the gallery & messaging. Has anyone else noted this?
Nope. However I do use a cache cleaner every few weeks.
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
Yup, after about 2 weeks mine started to lag every once in a while. I just assumed it was because of some faulty app. So I did a clean install, and 2 weeks later it was the same again. (didn't install too many apps this time)
Mine is still great.
try an app called fast reboot....I find it speeds things up
No lag at all here, 2 months in.
Had the Arc (UK) about 2 months and in the last two weeks things have really started to lag. Have had to resort to rebooting and cleaning the cache regularly but it only takes a day to start lagging again. Wondering whether there is a CPU/ memory hog there in my app suite or a widget but haven't been able to identify anything yet. Once the phone goes below 40-50MB free it is all over and I have to reboot.
This may sound weird but my phone lags during the day and it runs super fast at night lol
Sent from my LT15a using XDA Premium App
I have this lags, too. But I had not to reboot the system, yet...
Any more ideas?
Cheers!

After update on Android 2.3.3 i don't hve any lag. Before that I had lag but nothing to worry about. I think it was Android 2.3.2 that cousses lag.

Same here after about 1 to 2 days the phone memory goes to about 25MB and is practically not useable and need to reboot. I am on 2.3.3
I went through my apps & by trial & error ended up removing a particular app & that seems to have sped things up a bit. Also downloaded a history cleaner & used that & that has improved things a bit as well. But in certain areas it definitely still seems to lag. Have to wonder now if it is something to do with the Arc's hardware?
ok guys after using SeePU+++ i think i found the process that uses the most cpu power and lags down our Arc is "ndroid.process.acore"
not sure what it does but i believe it is the culprit for random slow downs and lag on our phone...
does anyone know what it does? can anyone confirm my findings?
P.s. I am on global generic 2.3.3 firmwre 145
This problem may be caused by a bug in the Google Contacts Sync , just as seen in this bug:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2377
In other devices like HTC Evo this problem persist

I don't have the Google Sync activated and i don't feel my Arc Laggy
This phone is incredibly laggy. Many FCs or lags when I open the messaging app or other apps... Very sad and frustrating.
One of the major causes of lag on the HTC hero was having too many text messages stored on the phone. Ever since then i tend to not let the numbers build up too much, and i havent noticed any lag problems on the arc (maybe it's a general android problem).

one of the main android apps, your keybord and other important funtions are here, so my advice : dont touch it or you end up reflashing ROM

Bad piggies keeps freezing

I installed Bad piggies on my Arc S (stock .587 with root and xperia S lockscreen + keyboard, tho i dunno how that could be related),
and the game keeps freezing, not FCing, but buttons become unresponsive, sometimes for up to a minute. But the music keeps playing and animations are still playing (the waves and pigs). It's really annoying, coz sometimes timing is crucial and all.
Sometimes it works for 5 minutes straight, then it lags a little, then works again, but other times its unplayable.
I tried moving the game in internal memory, but that doesnt resolve the issue. Restarting the phone doesn't either.
Anyone else has this issue? I tried searching, but it doesnt seem to happen to others as I cannot find existing themes with the same issue (at least not for Arc S). What to do, what to try?
Thanks!
Please ask your questions in Q & A next time. This is not the forum for questions.
Yes I experience this problem as well. Might be because of our dated hardware but when it works it works fine. Don't let it bother you too much. ICS isn't the greatest platform for gaming on the arc anyway.
Clear your dalvik cache with app2sd, otherwise you dont have enough ram/internal memory to play the game
Indeed wrong topic mate, but further i play it a long time now and no probs with it
Best Regards
..:: [email protected]€m!c ::..
Sorry, the topic has been moved, Ill pay more attention next time.
I cleared dalvik cache with link2sd (it offered to clean 3 entries, not the whole thing). Is that okay? Or do i need to wipe the whole thing in recovery, as its still freezing.
How did you guys get it to play?
thanks!
i reckon cleaning 3 entries should be fine.

Nexus 7 2013 Becoming Slow.

Hey,
I got my N7, 16GB WiFi, 1½ month(s) ago, and it was amazing. I was playing games, like Modern Combat 4, at a super smooth frame rate, I was browsing the web at amazings FPS's, just the general UI was so fluid.
The day I got it, I unlocked, flashed a recovery and rooted. I play the game I mentioned above, MC4, a lot and am quite good at it. I though that it would be a good idea to record what I was doing and show the world! (www.youtube.com/user/StealthGamingAndroid if you want to see)
The game was smooth before, just playing, and was still smooth after. What impressed me was that even while recording, it felt like I still had amazing frames.
About a week or so ago, that stopped. I was getting lag, the game was jittery and making the whole thing unplayable, even when not recording. But it wasn't just the game. The whole UI felt, even though it wasn't terrible, sluggish.
I didn't/haven't changed my setup, regarding ROM, Kernel or Processor Speeds since the day I got it. It is running the version of 4.3 it came with out of the box. (My choosing to keep it on that and not update)
The only things I have done regarding root have been using SCR Pro, the recording software, and using Xposed and Gravitybox.
I do not know what is causing this sudden lag, and how I can fix it. A brief search on Google didn't turn up anything that I could relate to. So I present to you my question.
How do I fix this lag?
I do not mind if it means using root, flashing a new ROM or even a new kernel. (Never flashed a different kernel on all 4 of my devices) Over clocking I also haven't done, but if it means removing the lag, I will consider it.
I am extremely grateful for what ever solutions or suggestions you give me, and will happily look into them.
Thank you for your time reading this, and for helping a confused user out.
Faithfully,
-R
Boot into recovery, clear you caches, boot normally, see if that fixed it, if not...boot into safe mode and see if the problem persists, if that fixed it, it's one or more of your apps, you'll have to either flash to stock and reinstall one at a time, when it starts lagging again you've found the app, or remove one at a time and see when it stops, if the problem still occurs in safe mode, backup and flash back to stock and see if it persist, if it does, maybe it's hardware.

That has fixed some of it, but it still feels choppy. (The wiping of the caches, I mean)

I use an app called Clean Maste. You can get it in the Play Store. It's basically like CC Cleaner on the computer (if you don't have it, get it!). Just clear all the stuff in the junk option EXCEPT obsolete APKs. If you know what you're doing, cleaning in Junk Advanced can help too.
Also, be sure to delete all the apps you don't need, and clear your multitasking often.
For a big performance boost. you can overclock your tablet. First, tell us if the other things work above. If not, PM me and I'll be glad to teach you to overclock

Did you try uninstalling Xposed?
When my tablet lags a little, I usually turn it completely off for a couple minutes. This helps me quite a bit.
This may sound dumb or crazy but you got to remember that it's a computer and turning it off once or twice a week will clear the cobwebs.
