Hello,
on my girlfriends S4 Mini all apps force close imidiately. She said it started one morning and didn't stop since then. I tried flashing a new nightly and fresh gapps, format cache/dalvik but it didn't help. I just could installeverything again but She needs backups of some apps (data) and sms. Unfortunately, Titanium Backup is not working either.
Does anyone know a way to fix the force close or how to backup appdata / sms without using apps?

Hi there. Just solved a similar problem with one of my friend. I wiped data+cache+davik or say factory reset, from custom recovery and problem solved. But cant say about the backup thing.

I have solved the problem now:
-Made a Nandroid backup
-Wiped dalvik, cache, data, system
-Clean install
-Used Titanium Backup (Menu/Extract from Nandroid Backup) to restore sms and appdata (had to install the apps out of playstore first, then restore only data, not the app)
-Works.

OK so here's my problem.. I have backups in both nandroid and Titanium Backup. I flash a ROM wait for it to do its business. After everything boots up, I try to restore everything through titanium backup but I get a force close error. I also try to open Rom Manager to see if it works and I get the same error but for Rom Manager. So the error isn't in Titanium Backup, but I do not know where it is. Any ideas?? I enjoy having custom Roms, but not if I do not have all of my stuff on the Rom.
Well I was going to attach a picture but it will not allow me because I am " New".
The error message reads as this.
! Sorry!
The application Titanium Backup (process com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
(Force Close) <---- button
It also does it with other applications such as the Facebook Launcher.
Once you flash your ROM, run Fix Permissions preferably from recovery, else use the version(s) in either Rom Manager, or Titanium.
Once that completes, reboot device. When you restore things from Titanium, just restore apps, preferably one-by-one, and only the app, not the data.
Do not at all recommend restoring apps+data+system data from Titanium. Why?
The system data backup residing in Titanium was for the last ROM, or the last time the backup was completed. As such, if you flash a different ROM, you are overwriting the system data of the new ROM with the system data from the old ROM - that spells odd behavior, mass force closes. etc. etc.
Well I tried this solution smtom, and it was to no avail. Any other suggestions?
When flashing a ROM, are you clearing cache/dalvik and doing the factory reset on the device? What version of Rom Manager & CWM are you using?
The latest version of CWM is giving people issues.
Absent all that, try not restoring apps or data (anything really) from TB when you flash the new ROM, after having wiped data/caches/user data.
Yes I'm clearing cache and data. The CWM version is 3.0.0.5, which is the latest recovery.
What does clearing the dalvik do and how do I factory reset the device?
I figured it out, with tmtom's help of course! I had to do a factory reset and then flashed the rom and everything worked. Thanks for the advice!!
I have the same error so I'm going to try the solutions provided in this thread. I do have one question though. Kalebskalicky mentioned that he finally fixed it by doing factory reset and then flashing the rom.
Just to be clear; factory reset is the same as wiping data/factory reset? Or I need to do a factory reset from the phone settings?
Another thing. I have noticed that the FC issues have something to do with gapps, acore, and/or framework processes. When I get any of these force closes, all the other apps start to crash, but all the issues start with any of those 3 processes crashing.
However, there are 2 apps that force close from the start, even before any of these 3 processes crash. These 2 apps are voxer and waze.
Is there like a way to delete the folder where they are installed? maybe it's a problem of installation? I have no idea and haven't been able to fix it.
Any suggestions, would be inmensely appreciated.
Thank you very much.
UPDATE:
Just wanted to mention that I always wipe data/factory, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache, and then flash the new rom. Is this ok to do? Or am I deleting stuff I shouldn't?
Thanks again.
I also had this issue.
I had tried wiping the cache and the dalvik cache. Fixing permissions. didn't wont to format as everything was set-up how I wanted it and couldn't be bothered going through it again.
After some digging around I had to uninstall titanium backup first then delete the folder
/sdcard/external_sd/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
(there may also be /sdcard/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup to Delete)
Reinstalling titanium backup after deleting this folder, worked like a charm.
Apparently its to do with a corrupt database upgrade???
I hope this helps any one.
Hi all,
Would really appreciate your help! I'm a nOOb and may have bricked my phone. I rooted and installed a LeeDroid Froyo Rom last year, updated this recently to LeeDrOiD V3.0.2 GB. I got brave today and attempted to change this to RCMix S v1.3 (Sense 2.1+3.0mix) but now my phone is stuck on the HTC Bootscreen.
The process I followed was the same as when installing LeeDroids ROMs:
I backed up my apps
Re-partioned my SD card - 512md using ROM Manager
Used ROM Manager to boot to recovery
Factory re-set
Re-installed ROM Manager
Copied the new ROM zip file to the SD Card
Used ROM Manager to boot to recovery
Installed the new ROM which installed correctly ("Congrats, successful installation, re-boot and enjoy ..." or similar word to that effect)
Re-booted
But now it's frozen on a permanent HTC logo bootscreen.
I would greatly appreciate any help you can offer, or a link to the solution if there is one that may have been requested and solved before, I've spent an age searching the forums but can not find a solution.
Thanks in advance,
Karl
sounds like you didnt wipe the dalvik cache.
I would drop the battery out, replace and boot into recover, wipe data factory reset, wipe dalvik and go for another install.
Can you confirm if you did the above?
edit: oh and i dont know if its made a differance but when i install a new rom, i transfer to the SD card then, wipedata, wipe cache and then install as opposed to booting the phone after wiping data
Before flashing you always have to do a full wipe.
Your systemdata and apps can backed up by Titanium Backup. The backup don't get deleted by the wipe. After flashing the new rom (and eventually re-downloading/re-installing Titanium Backup you can restore all systemdata and apps by "Menu>Batch>Restore missing systemdata and apps".
First tip for the future: Always make a complete nandroid before every flash. If there are problems with your new system, you a running system anyway.
Second: When go from sense-rom to a non-sense-rom (or reversed), you must not restore system data, only the apps. Otherwise there can be heavy problems with your system.

Cheers Vis-tec,
Yeah, it was the dalvik cache, I did exactly what you suggested and it worked perfectly. Never heard of dalvik cache before but wiping it did the job.
Thanks again,

Thanks MatDroid,
Good tip about the system data when moving between sense and non-sense roms - I would have found that out the hard way for sure!
I know nothing about nandroid so I'll start reading up on it!
Thanks again,
Karl

Another good tip, I assumed that the wipe would delete the back-up, or to be more precise, I was unsure where it backed up the data/apps to. So I uploaded to Dropbox using the Dropbox feature in Titanium Backup ... this takes an age so it's good to know that the backup doesn't get deleted by the wipe for future rom changes!
Thanks again,
Karl
Try using RaRecovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839621
It's the recommended recovery for RCMix S. I got stuck in splash because of CWM.
hi,
just installed the rom. but now i got problems with contacts. the contact app won't
load the contacts. and if i try another contact app it just crashes. any ideas why?
thx...
were you coming from a different ROM? did you do a full wipe?
I've got the same problem. I can see all the contacts from "call" menu, but when I want to enter details the app crashes. Whn I simply open contacts app, loading circle appears and nothing happens, sometimes also crashes after few mins of "loading".
Had the exact same problem weeks ago on InsertCoinHD 2.0.0, got used to it but it's kinda annoying. Both times I did full wipe of everything, however I restored contacts data using Titanium (from stock rom).
Tried to fix permissions too...
Used to get this too. Found out I hadn't done a proper full wipe. Now, after nandroid b/u, my procedure goes:
- Wipe data/factory reset
Then in mounts/storage
- format sys
- format data
- format cache
- format SD-Ext
Then advanced
- wipe Dalvic
Flash ROM.
I came from a LeeDroid ROM and until I tried this, I got the same problem with contacts every time. It drove me nuts! All good now!

well, i did following things..
i did a fullwipe, then, wipe-dalvic and after it flash rom again..and now it works
perfect

format your sdcard with ext2,3,4 and so on..
Sorry to hijack this thread but I am using this rom and have a problem with text messages disappearing. When I receive a text, read it and then go back in to messages the inbox is empty. The option to delete old messages in settings is unchecked.
Any ideas?
Cheers

I normally wipe data, cache and dalvik, then install ROM and restore settings using Titaniuim - always the same problem. I'm starting to think that it might be related to my contacts data, did you have that problem even without restoring your contacts on a clear ROM install? Or, as you managed to fix it, can you restore your contacts without problems or you just sync them using Google account?

Try backing up your contacts/data with "mybackup root". Heard of a lot of problems with Titanium.
I have all my contacts saved on the google account (nothing on the phone itsels) and never had any issues like you're describing with viewing/editing contacts.
so the idea woud be... back-up -> wipe all + dalvik ->reflash ROM -> restore
I've flashed my phone with the latest Cyanogen mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957344)
I flashed the radio, then the ROM and in the end the latest Gapps... But now several things don't work. Facebook can't start and when I try to set a new ringtone, it gives me the 'process media stopped working'. Any idea how to fix this?
Ow. It also happens when I try to visit Facebook and when I try to create a ringtone via Zedge.
Nobody with tips or hints what I did wrong?
Did you wipe everything before flashing it? Data, cache, system, battery stats...
Did you restore any system data e.g. via Titanium Backup?
Have you got a nandroid backup of where you were before?
1. Yes I wiped everything.
2. I did both. First I restored with Titanium Backup. Then I tried without a restore. STill the same problem.
3. before this I used a MIUI ROM but I didn't like it.
Hi Everyone,
Trying to see if there is a simple fix for this without having to wipe the device to factory.
Working with 4.4.4 on an insurance replacement (old power button went bad). Ran a Nandroid backup on my faulty device using CWM, and when restoring to the new device (after flashing the 4.4.4 deodexed rom, permissive kernel and modems) I am getting a looping error on process.gapps and Google Play services.
Looks like something got hosed post-restore and need some assistance wrangling this without having to do a hard reset.
I've tried:
- Clearing Cache
- Clearing Dalvik Cache
- Clearing cache on Google Play Services
Unfortunately, none of these options have been successful. Does anyone have a hammer and nails approach I can use here to stabilize the device? I have no problem with reinstalling Google Play Services or GApps, but in this state the device is challenging to navigate (popup after popup).
Thank you in advance for your feedback.
Did you wipe everything and then restore your nandroid?

Yes, wiped cache, dalvik cache and data/system.
Worked around CWM by installing TWRP and converting a spare MicroSD card to Fat32. From there was able to run a TWRP System/Data backup and image the new phone.
I've experienced this issue before with CWM, so assuming it's a defect in the System and or Data backup process.
Glad to be back up.
