Kindle Fire 2 problems - Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting

I've had my KF2 for about a year or so, and it's been acting up ever since I got rid of root. (I unrooted through SuperSU, I've done a factory reset, and I don't have Gmail installed.) The notification bar has been disappearing a lot so I can rarely get into settings to do anything, and when I am in settings and try to go to the Device>Storage tab, it force quits and goes back to the main Settings screen. I have Chrome and Aptoide installed, and I got rid of half the stock apps because I was dumb. That might be something. Thanks if you can help

I would re-root and do a cache and dalvik cache wipe

Thanks. In the process of rerooting through Kindle First Aide, then I have to install a second bootloader.

I would say re-flash your rom, wipe cache and dalvik, and flash the latest gapps.
Sorry didn't say before but everything is stock

So not rooted...Its even closing after you reboot?
I would try going into applications, clearing the cache, force stop it, reboot, then try again.

If you are still FC'ing after this, try doing a factory reset, and if that doesn't fix it, i recommend taking it into a sprint store.
You should also make sure that you have a data connection where you are located, because the market will FC if you don't have data (3g/4g/wifi).
Yes and I've done that also I want to do everything before going to sprint and having to reset it

Like the other user said, you can do a factory reset.
Turn your phone off. Hold the vol+down button while turning it on, and you'll be in the bootloader, a white screen with androids on skateboards. Use vol+down to scroll down to clear storage, then use the power button to select. Factory reset done.

[Q] Really bad luck or phone issue?

Not sure if it's just me or the phone. I'm currently running RCMix3d Runny v4.0, which I love, it's great. But I wanted to try AOSP to get a more natural feel. I installed CM7, had problems connecting to network and tons of FC's. Went back to RCMix3d, for a few days, then decided to try MIUI. Looks smooth, nice features. Tried to change some settings (turn on BT, turn on unknown sources install), phone did a Hot boot, once it came up I get constant android.process.acore FCs.
Both times installing AOSP roms I did a format data/cache/dalvik, not just installing over RCMix3d. Even tried doing format x2 on all first.
Anyone else having similar problems, or could it just be something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Sorry, what do you mean format system? I'm doing from CWM, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe Dalvik Cache.
Unless you meet from the boot menu, doing a factory reset (which i'll need to reroot)

No, don't do that. In CWM, go to mounts and storage. You'll see format system, run that. Then wipe data/factory reset in the main CWM screen. Then install your AOSP ROM.

Well, I'm just an idiot. So I did the system format, still had same issues with MIUI.
Noticed that the issues start right after I restore from Titanium backup. Then realized I was hitting Restore System + Apps. Which going from Sense to AOSP, doesn't work so well.
Just reinstalled and only restored Apps. Working fine now.
Thanks for the help!
Sometimes the easiest things are the ones most overlooked!!! (been there done that.....way toooo many times..lol)
Glad ya got it going!

Cyanogen Mod - Camera just started Force Closing...help?

I've used Cyanogen Mod for quite a while without issue. Then, last week my camera started force closing. So far as I knowing didn't change any settings or install an app that would mess with it. Haven't updated radios, etc...it just stopped. I've cleared the cache in apps settings, there is space on the card.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
clear cache and dalvik from recovery, and reboot. If that doesnt work, you will probably have to reflash the rom.

Shouldn't lose anything, as you are just clearing cache files. However, it can never hurt to do a backup first, only takes a couple minutes.
Ugh. I did a full wipe and upgraded to 7.1 (was on 7.0.2)...Camera is still FC'ing...again, it works with other apps (Vignette, Goggles) but not the stock camera. It worked just fine until two weeks ago...and then, nothing. No clue why. :/
Well, now it works...I did one more wipe and it just started working. Thanks!
Try fix permissions, worked for me

"Android is upgrading:Starting Apps" Every reboot.

This is something that's bothered me since upgrading to 4.1.1. Doing just what the title says. So far, I've tried clearing the dalvik cache, wiping the cache partition, uninstalling titanium backup and restarting, as well as uninstalling ROM toolbox and lucky patcher. I'm rooted with chainfire's "quick" method but I also had root before upgrading from ICS. I also tried bin4ry's universal ICS/Jellybean method after upgrading before finding chainfire's, witch, I am suspicious of bin4ry's causing the bug in the first place. The message shows briefly after the glowing "Samsung" boot animation. I have scoured to the bottom of the internet looking for an answer, but I really, really do not want to re-flash the stock rom again. Any reason why this happens? Any way to fix it without wiping my phone; if that works?

Sounds like it's wiping dalvik on each reboot. Wipe and re flash.

It's not wiping the dalvik cache. The system displays the message briefly with no application count. I just assumed it was normal on 4.1.1

Several people seem to claim otherwise, Google shows. My tenant's and several of my friend's phones don't do it. I'll try reverting to factory and upgrading again in a few days if there are no other solutions.

Mine showed up after the Google wallet mod. Also had it happen after removing some stock apps although I'm not sure which caused it.

I've removed a lot of at&t's bloatware, along with S-Suggest, "help" and ypmobile. I've also frozen s-voice and the samsung keyboard in favor of SwiftKey. I've removed bloatware in both so far. Maybe once I revert, I'll try to find out more about the problem. Until my phone is sick of the cache partition wipes and ruthless dalvik cache destruction, I will continue to try in vain. For the good of my OCD.

Many ROMs and Kernels are set to ziplalign apps on boot to improve performance.
I want to say this was also implemented in stock JB, or its set in CWM's init.d script for the newer versions.
This also happens each time you wipe dalvik and/or if you have Titanium Backup set to intergrate sys dalvik into ROM
I just did the HOWTO root after upgrading to stock JB, and after reading this post I did a quick reboot and yeh, the message appears for me as well.
Never integrated sysdalvik w/ titanium backup. I've also rebooted the phone without clearing dalvik, and never had cwm. Probably a few things I should have mentioned earlier, but they never crossed my mind.

Fixed the problem. Turns out you do need to re flash the whole phone. Reset to factory in recovery, then wipe the cache AND the dalvik, then reset to stock using ODIN. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU RESET TO FACTORY. The phone will remain soft bricked otherwise. A tutorial can be found here: http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-unroot/how-to-unroot-att-galaxy-s3-sgh-i747/. The only tried and true way to get the bug out. As far as I know. If anyone has any more ideas as to how this problem occurs, I'd still like to hear them.

I rarely reboot these days. I do my CWM backups online.
But when I do reboot, I do get that updating message and have been seening that from as far back as I can remember. It bugged me at first but not now. For me, it only does it for about 2-4secs so I don't bother trying to fix it.
I have the cause in my case but I don't have the solution. I flashed a mod I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044449, apn_editor_1.1.zip. Now every reboot I get Android Is Upgrading.... Starting apps.
How do I stop the phone from trying to add this mod?
Just got the same problem. Had super SU on the phone (soft root), so i tried to fully root (i installed xblasttools, and had to flash pa-icons, so i could change the color of the battery, but i couldn't because it said signature failed). Downloaded philz kernel/root, flashed with recovery. Then i uninstalled the Super su rebooted and there it was; Andriod is upgrading ...
I'm on 4.1.2, Samsung GT-i9100. Help !
P.S Uninstalled the superuser that i got with the phil kernel and installed Super SU. Also i did wipe the davlik and cache. Same stuff.
I got the Android is upgrading message before. It was because I tried to convert a user app to a system app. Converted it back to a user app and it went away. I think it had something to do with having an apk file but no corresponding odex file for that app in /system/app
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
I have found why this happens, issue is with lucky patcher, when you patch application it creates <appname.odex> this odex file is somehow diffrent than real odex, so when you wipe dalvik cache it caches all your apps and then you have Android is starting apps on each boot. The solution is to delete all apps odexes wich you patched, reboot phone, this time it will not display "android is starting apps" and will work until you delete dalvik again. It is possible to apply patch with Lucky Patcher to dalvih cache instead of creating odex, but you loose your crack when you wipe dalvik again.
This is the solution, if someone have better way of doing it post here, also sorry if thread is old.

Thank you for pointing out Lucky Patcher. The "android is starting apps" notification started when I deodexed my rom. I uninstalled those patched apps, reinstalled and re-patched normally with Lucky Patcher 3.9.9.1 and that notification is gone.

Next time just cut odex files to other location, reboot phone and copy odexes back, this should be alot easyer
Try to reflash your rom that may help some how

Phone not rebooting properly on multiwindow ROMS

Hey all, so I flashed the chemistry ROM and Goodness 8.0.3, which both have multi window. After I try to power on my phone after a full shut down, neither ROM seems to boot without me going into recovery and clearing both cache. Anyone else experience this or have a workaround?

I just had the same issue I installed chemistry on my phone worked with no problems but on my moms phone i went into a bootloop after rebooting. I had to go into recovery do a factory reset wipe cache and dalvik cache and reflash the Rom all seems to be working now. Oh it was chemistry v5 btw.
Edit
Did you retore any system data with TB then hit fix permissions thats what was causing the problem for me.

I did install non-system apps thru TB and installed latest Ktoonz kernel. Just not sure why either would result in a boot loop now.

Try flashing a different kernel, and try fixing permissions through rom manager, then reboot wipe cache and dalvik, make it run the optimizing apps thing.
