Ever since I downloaded this one theme and it didn work, My phone cannot install themes. Every time I install a theme, I will boot up, get force closes that I dont even know what force closes because im stuck on a black screen, and I always have to restore back to my last save. What is up with this.
What rom are you using? That would help out things a lot better
We need more info. We need to know what ROM you are using, what theme you tried flashing, and any other info you can provide. Otherwise, you just have a story for a first post that no one is going to do anything with but read over and move on.
Sounds like dbdata issue. Try adrynalyne's 2.7 fix. He has a tar/odin file in there that will fix your phone.

Had the same issues. Had to flash to bare bones stock via Odin and start over. I was running sc 2.6 voodoo.. Flashed 2 themes, on the 3rd it was FC hell; even if I restored my very first theme (VA Green at that time) it would FC hell. Only think g that wiould load was my theme free sc 26voodoo
Did you figure this out?? It's doing to me again. Sammmme ****, on my 3rd theme i get fc loops and cannot flash any themes... currently on sc 2.8voodoo

I have stock eb01 deodexed. Some themes work once I install a theme that gives me force closes, then install another theme over that. I really have gaven up and Dont care anymore. I guess the fix is the re-flash stock eb01 with odin, but im way to lazy

Market started force closing whenever I try and install something I just download. Not to mention 3 downloads are frozen at the install part. Is there a way to re-install market?
have you applied the lag fix (voodoo)? Or any theme? The reason i ask is i ran into this anytime i would apply a theme and then re-apply the puzzle lock screen. My market wouldn't download or it would work for a few hours, then after a reboot it would stop again. The only way i got it back working was to start from a stock DI10 rom and build it from there...
Just go to thee odin posr

As much as I loath asking questions I feel I need to ask one. You don't learn anything having all the answers givin' to you.
Well I have been working with a stock Optimus P509TN the Wi-Fi update one, I have switched Kernals, I have Deodexed it and applied the Dalvick to ram. All works well it seems. But then I install a Gingerbread theme as i much prefer the darker color, using ADB, However on restart i am immediately greeted with the lock screen and a lot of force close. I wipe the data partition and restart and it hangs and i have to restore the nand back up from before applying the theme.
Can anybody explain what happened between point a and point b that I missed, did i forget something when i deodexed, is the theme perhaps not compatible, maybe i should find a theme that is flashable with clockwork?'
edit-used the rom kitchen to edit joemomrom to be flashable in clockwork, made many tweaks for stability but the rom was already almost like i wanted it anyway. Moot point now, but I believe that it was the stock launcher causing it to keep looping at the second boot animation.
Hi guys,
I am new to the XDA forums so forgive me if this is really stupid or if someone has posted the same problems. I searched for an answer but couldn't seem to find someone with my problem. Forgive me if this is long. I just want to make sure you guys know all the details so we can figure out what went wrong.
I recently flashed the Evil Fascination 3.6 Rom from a modified stock version of ED04 (debloated/debinged). I believe that my version of CWM recovery was 2.5.1 or something like that (w/ voodoo lagfix). I am pretty new to the Android world but I do believe I did everything correctly. I wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache and Data multiple times and made nandroid backups etc.
I flashed the Rom with no problems and everything worked just fine. I was trying out Regina 3D launcher at the time (I regularly use Launcher Pro), and for some reason it seemed a little slow to load up (I figured it had to do with it being the first time with the new rom). I kept having loadup problems with the launcher so I uninstalled it and went back to Launcher Pro. Launcher Pro even seemed like it was acting weird but I didn't take much notice to it.
Now yesterday I downloaded the OTB 1.6 Touchwiz kernel. Everything I've read said it was compatable with Evil Fascination. I tried to flash it from CWM recovery and it didn't work. My phone stayed stuck on the Evil Fascination boot up screen and finally I just popped the battery out. I went back into CWM and just wiped everything and reflashed Evil Fascination. It seemed to work fine with Launcher Pro (again a little glitchy at times, but I took no notice really).
I again tried to flash the OTB 1.6 kernel. This time instead of doing it from the recovery I downloaded an app called SGS kernel flasher. I did what it said and it flashed the kernel for me with no boot up problems like CWM did. I rebooted and then booted into CWM to check it and it was changed from version 2.5.1 (voodoo) to 3.2.0.0.otb. I figured this meant that the kernel flash was sucessful. I went to reboot my phone and when the home screen came on it was a froyo style launcher with only 2 or three icons on the page. I pressed the app drawer and none of my apps showed up that were on my sd card. finally i pressed the home button and it asked for which launcher to choose : LauncherPro or the default and I chose LauncherPro. My regular setup appeared and my apps were in the app drawer. I found it weird that my apps showed in LauncherPro but not in the default launcher.
Now with doing phone reboots my phone always goes to the default launcher with no apps from my sd card and I have to wait to press the home button for LauncherPro to appear. I set it as my default launcher but it never loads when my phone is rebooted.
I was just recently (within the last hour) doing regular things on my phone (texting, internet , email etc) ad all of a sudden I got the shut down boot animation from my rom and my phone turned off. I went to turn it back on and my phone stayed stuck on the boot screen again. Now you can figure what I did again. I went through and did everything over and reloaded the rom and kernel. I am still having the same problems with the launcher as I did before and I have no idea whats going on. I just want to avoid going through this again. Anyone have any idea what the heck is going on???
If I were to guess I would say your problems comes from trying to flash the otb kernel with a 2.x.x.x recovery..i don't believe that recovery supports edify scripting.....i would odin a 3.x.x.x recovery and re flash the otb kernel...and I don't know much about that app you are referring to, but I wouldn't use a market app to try to install a kernel unless specifically directed to in the author's o.p.
I'm not a dev..just a flash-a-holic! but I think that should help your problem

I'm also no expert but after running into constant force closes and random problems with launcherpro I decided to go with go launcher and its been a great switch for me.

Hey guys, still no luck. I don't know what it is. I wish I knew more about hacking and doing all this kind of stuff
Try flashing a PBJ kernel!
can you get into CWM with the three finger salute?
[hold down the two volume buttons and the power until your phone reboots and you see samsung then let go]
See if you can mount as usb to get the kernel on there, if that doesnt work go to staples get a microsd card reader [under $15] and toss the pbj on your card then flash that.
When i was on EF and Comm Rom my phone didnt like the OTB kernels
Good Luck!
My recovery menu works fine and I can boot into it from the ROM without problem. My problem is that when I reboot the phone the ROM's default launcher is setup (and it is missing all of my apps) even though I set Launcher Pro as my default. I have to reset all my defaults in Launcher Pro every time my phone is turned off or rebooted. I would be on PB&J but I like to overclock my phone and PB&J doesn't support voltage control and I don't want to pay for and overclocking app.

From what I've read many people have disagreements on whether 2.5 supports Edify or not....because a lot of people have success with it while others don't so I really don't know. Its never given me problems in the past. I actually had more problems with 3.X recoveries (It wouldn't allow me to make nandroid backups and other things that were essential) so I flashed 2.5 and it worked perfect (again I've read about people having the same problems with 3.0 versions of CWM).
Okay what I've found is that this has nothing to do with Launcher Pro. I downloaded He Launcher and when I reboot my phone everytime it asks me to pick a default launcher. And when I'm using He Launcher, none of the apps on my SD card show up in the app drawer (they don't show up in the default ROM launcher either, they only show up in launcher pro)
Efan450 I tried what you said and it worked! I odined a 3.X recovery and wiped everything oof my phone then flashed the ROM and kernel and everything is working perfectly now. Thank you very much!!!
I saw that there was a similar thread in the Epic 4G forum, but I wanted to make sure before I start trying something that might mess up the phone even further. My wife's vibrant will start having everything force close on her after a few weeks. This has happened on 2 or three different ROMs, and I'm not sure what's causing it. I saw the similar thread where it might be related to "journaling", but we don't change her battery out at all or even reboot the phone that often, so I'm not sure if its the same issue. I've done a reset of her phone a few times, but I'm on a GB ROM so it doesn't go completely back to factory. Should I try to ODIN to stock? Any ideas why this happens? Thanks in advance.
Try fixing permissions in CWM first and see if that helps.

Fix permissions worked for a while, but not anymore. Everything's force closing again. Will the journaling fix help?
Anybody have any ideas? Gonna wipe then install a newer ROM, but I want to make sure this doesn't happen again.
Only titanium the "necessary" apps that you wanna keep your data from. Then uninstall it - often I find that this helps for some odd reason.

Get into recovery:
wipe dalvik
wipe cache
fix permissions
reboot
wait 10 mins reboot into recovery again
fix permissions
reboot
open rom manager [worth its weight in gold!]
fix permissions
reboot
Thats what I did with my cm7.1.0.1 but I also installed eugenes streamline 110411 ver and [knock on wood] havnt had any more issues with fc's.
And yes even if you follow the installs to a "T" some of us still have the FC issue!
Good luck!
3 weeks later and I'm back to square one. I'll try the above, if it doesn't work, i'll have to wipe and reinstall. thanks. What's eugene's streamline?
Id flash to stock, flashing different roms wont help if theres a ghost in the machine, what launcher are you running...touchwiz sucks on my wimpy replacement phone.

MIUI's launcher. I'll probably try flashing to stock soon. :-(
No go. I'll have to look into Eugene's streamlined 110411
ok just for future sake, 3 rule's of flashing,
it's better to reinstall your applications manually then to trust titanium when bouncing between roms with different frameworks, versions, partitions, etc.
always flash from stock unless your updating a weekly rom ie cm7/miui
after flashing power off screen and have a cup of coffee/beer/shower. give the OS time to do all it's background configurations and setup.
now if you follow those 3 rules you "should" have no real issues.
My phone when texting on sense 4.0 will force close when i back out of one message to check another. I am currently on bulletproof and it has happened on nightmare as well. The phone was flashed from stock s-off of course to bulletproof. I always go back to stock before flashing. This rom also causes a audio issue sometimes where it will jump in the middle of a song or stop playing and make a loud buzzing then reboot itself.
Any one having the same issues or a solution. Other roms have no issues like this and stock works perfect. Thank you Guys!
you know you don't really have to flash back to stock in order to flash a rom? and you should try fixing permissions once you flash the rom, and to make sure you flashed the rom properly
I dont flash back to stock everytime but i do if i go from CM10 to sense 4 or Miui. Just to keep from left over junk. I always wipe everything but sd card. I flashed one of the color themed messaging apks and It hasnt forced closed yet. Thank you. I will try fixing permisions after install. I tried that when it started acting up and still did it. So maybe it would work after flashing
