Hi,
I loaded Cognition 777 rc onto SGS2 i777 from the latest Cognition X2 beta 4 and got trapped in a com.android.phone force close-relaunch-force close loop. So I went back to beta 4, and loaded just the 11132011 kernel. That worked fine, so I tried loading C777 again. Same issue.
I am back on beta 4 with the 11132011 kernel and all's well. I have seen some discussion in other forums about dealing with com.android.phone FC. But I wonder if it is a c777-specific issue because I've not had the problem with previous Cognition revs.
Thoughts? Thank you very much!
Mike
I have that problem, too. I think we had to wipe it beforehand, but yeah, not sure...
Had the same issue when I attempted to flash from Serendipity 8 just to check it out. Problem went away after wiping from CWM then flashing.

Thanks to both of you. I wiped from CWM and then flashed - and it did go away. But it came back after I restored my apps and data. Tried restoring from CWM, then wiped again and restored with Titanium. I guess this latest rev conflicts with one my apps for some reason? I don't think I've got anything terribly exotic, but who knows?
I guess my options are: 1) load apps one at a time to isolate the problem child or 2) see if it goes away with the next rev ...
Don't restore all the data. Like, don't restore stuff like the phone application or some system data stuff related the phone. Call history and stuff is alright, but yeah, just go through it rather than just restoring everything.
What are you restoring? User apps are always good. System settings will cause problems. It sounds like you're restoring the call log or phone settings, use another app to backup sms and call log.
You two were right. I'd restored all apps and all data, including system data. That was the problem. It's all good now. Thanks for setting me straight.

I have always used ROM Manager to do everything, but seeing that might not be the best way to do things..I have been having some other problems with restoring, and talked about it on another forum, but can't post the link here yet.
So, my nightlys said it is time to upgrade, so I am going to completely back everything up with TB, and fire it all up to dropbox. All of my system settings are 100% the way I want them... I also clicked the beta migration option in the preferences, hoping that would help me.
Step 1 - Backup all user apps + system Data
Step 2 - Sync to Dropbox
Step 3 - Boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery, and do everything manually, not through ROM Manager
Step 4 - Clear cache and Dalvik
Step 5 - Run zip from SD Card
This time, it seemed like everything went as planned. When I started the phone back up, all the apps were in the same spot, and wallpaper was the same. Although, the first time, when the screen timed out, I couldn't turn it back on. Pulled the battery, and all is working fine now.
Step 6- went into TB and did a batch restore of all apps and data, but only clicked the green items. From reading somewhere else, it is only wise to do the green items, not the red, so that is what I did. Then reboot for all to take effect.
This is where I am confused. None of my data is restored. For example, I use K-9 Mail, and the settings aren't restored by the batch. But, if I go to that app, and hit the restore data, then it restores it fine. So, for me to do all my apps, the batch function isn't working, I have to go through and do 15-20 apps manually.
So, what am I doing wrong here? Why isn't the batch operation working properly for me?
Edit - Something else I noticed that didn't restore properly was any of my ring tones. Not a huge deal, but I thought might be worth mentioning in this dilemma.
So I assume you are on CM7 as you refer to nightlies.
You say that you wipe cache/dalvick cache and install. Then when you reboot all your apps are in the right place?
Then why on earth would you want restore your apps on top of the existing apps with TB? Maybe that is causing the problem. AFAIK upgrading with a nightly shouldn't touch your installed apps.
Did you check the app settings before restoring with TB?
As for the ringtones, I always had that problem when using CM7, just got used to fixing them after installing each nightly.
Hope this helps.
What version of TB are you using? I was having a similar problem doing restores on v3.9.0.1 and was having problems doing batch recovery with my SGS2. The status bar would come up but wouldn't successfully finish. I then upgraded to 4.0.0.0 and everything seems to work.. might give that a try if you're using an older version.

Yes, sorry, I am running CM7, but using the nighties.
As far as the apps, that's why I think I am doing something wrong. Last time was the first time everything was there, every other update, it was like I was starting off with a new phone. No app, no data, nothing. A brand new fresh start.
I will try it again in a few minutes and hope for the best..
Thanks for helping out with this one..

I am currently using the Pro, 4.0.2. It just seems that I have to refresh all the data for each app by themselves, but all at once won't work.
Upgrading my nightly now, so keeping my fingers crossed that it will work.
Hello Community,!
I have been using CM since the nighties unitl the early 30's before Kernel got hacked I have stopped using CM around that time and switch back to near stock rom (TSM Resurrection) due to force close on every single applications. Now that CM is official, I hope the problem is gone but it is still there. I can use the phone for couple hours and then force close everywhere.
I have tried the following with that I can find on the forums:
1. Fix Permissions.
2. Fix Permissions and then reflashing CM.
3. Wipe data and reflashing.
4. Went back to stock (with atlas and all that) and then back to CM.
5. Rebooting/pulling battery out does not fix it either.
I read that it would be running out of memory causing it, but closing apps did not help.
Could it be rogue app(s) causing it or something entirely different?
Thank You!

just went thru this the other night with another member...try going back to dl09 and reformat your sd card. worked for him
I have not tried in addition to reformatting my sd card whild doing the whole DL09 restoring. I will give that a go.
It would probably also be a good idea to redownload the apps fresh from the the market instead restoring them from titanium backup?

with tibu just make sure to restore app only w/ out data. Should be no different than redownloading the app from market.
Your solution seems to work so far, I did however redownload fresh copies of apps from the market and just restore the data from titanium backup just incase any full restore are corrupted. I do get random phantom keys from time to time.

Here's a new one. Searched and couldn't find.
I was on ICZen 1.3, and ran a batch backup on all user apps on Titanium Backup.
I should point out that some time ago on this ROM, I did flash the datafix_11032012.zip file. I felt this could be important information in the discussion.
I then reset/wiped/formatted and flashed ICZen 1.4 goodness. Waited, rebooted. Fixed Permissions, rebooted. I'm good to go to restore my apps+data.
But on the first couple that I restored (Angry Birds Space, among them), I tried to launch and immediately got a Force Close message "Unfortunately, Angry Birds Space has stopped"
This only happens when I try to restore with data. If I restore "app only", the app launches. But if I try to restore with data (even if "data only"), the app FC.
It's not a bad ROM download or flash. I've checked the md5 and even reflashed. Even went back to ICZ 1.3. Same result.
Being this is a data issue, I think the datafix file may have something to do with it. Who knows?
Any ideas here?
Two things. Did you do the data fix on RC1.4 (was it a clean install)? and I always suggest NOT doing batch backups with TB. Sure it saves time but in my past experiences, it cause more problems than it solves.
Try this. Go into TB and hit Preferences, then scroll all the way to the bottom and hit Troubleshooting. Once that opens, tick the Follow All Symbolic Links and see if that work.
Might have to wipe data and caches since you already tried to restore. Maybe not though. See if you can uninstall some app (I do not suggest useing AGB Space as a tester, it is a little wonky) and then reinstall it with the tweak above.

I've uninstalled/restored and even redownloaded from the play store/market. The app launches with no data, but whenever I try to restore the data (via TBu) that's when it FC. I have just tried this on another app (Pandora). Same result.
I think what Woodrube was trying to say after you restore the apps with data,
did you try to reboot to recovery, wipe both cache and dilvik.
when the phone starts up again you should see a msg say "optimizing apps 1 of 123" or something like, cant really remember what it said.
i'm using iczen 1.4 too , came from 1.3 but didnt do a full wipe. so far no issues, if you have a nandroid, you may just want to recovery and flash over.
I have the same problem... Without solution? =/
Same problem. Cannot find solution anywhere
would also like to see an answer. I have the same issue on my captivate
Ever since moving up to JB 4.2.2 from ICS 4.0.3, I always get this "Android is upgrading apps" message everytime I reboot. Is this normal?
Not sure if its related but I get a lot of "corrupt messages" error in whatsapp sometimes after a reboot. This makes me lose some messages prior to the reboot as I have to restore from the backup (whatsapp only backs up messages at 4am everyday) and its getting real annoying, have gotten this error about 4-5 times in about 2 weeks so far.
I am using CarbonROM v1.7 (offical stable), and Dorimanx's kernel, from 9.14 to 9.30, 9.31, 9.32, and now 9.33 (I get the most errors in this version).
Would appreciate it if anyone could help me out! Can't find any relevant info after searching (or maybe I suck at searching).

the upgrading apps message isn't an issue, it occurs when any dalvik operations are running, or also optimisations (wheel align, zipalign, sqlite, detailing, etc.)
as to the corrupt messages error, i'm not sure at all, sounds like sd card rw errors in boot

Fully wipe and reflash Rom. That should get rid of problems. If continue to do this change Rom.

I'm trying to avoid that, haha. It was doing fine initially, then after I flashed Dori's kernel after about 1-2 weeks of use, it started popping up. I used Hawker's wipe scripts so it should be pretty clean.

For your backup issue of Whatsapp... Just click on that " backup conversations " tab. Yes its given that the backups occur at 4:00 am but that's the automatic backup. Tap that box and it backs up real time
Go Bk to stock kernel if dori is upgrading all the time. well the message. Reflash Rom no wipe will give you stock kernel Bk
Alright, I hope I have this in the right place. I just recently flashed the TerraSilent Kernel for the Galaxy Player 4.0 US version. The Flash went fine, but my device was running extremely slowly. A re-flash didn't solve it either. I figured that wiping the cache partition might solve the problem - I decided to do this before running a backup, since no important data is stored in the cache (...right?), and since I was worried that backing up while I had this problem could make things worse - so I went ahead into CWM and did just that. Then, it reboots, and I nearly get a heart attack. The stock wallpaper is back, it's using the default launcher again (I had LauncherPro installed), and pretty much only system apps work, all the others have an icon with an SD card on it, and when clicked on, it says something like "application not installed". I did some searching, and it seemed like a reboot might help (although I didn't find anyone with a problem like mine anywhere). The reboot didn't do anything, so now I have it shut down, so that nothing can happen. The odd thing is, it doesn't seem to me like the system messed up and did a full wipe instead, either, because a couple of things I have are still there - for example, some of my bookmarks I made on the homescreen while still using the default launcher are still there. I'm really confused because I have wiped the cache partition before, when I was still on an unmodified stock kernel, and everything stayed the same, the way I thought it was supposed to. And now this happens. What do I do now? I exported my absolute most important data (Astrid Tasks and Calendar) before I installed TerraSilent (but I obviously wasn't able to do a full backup because I wasn't rooted, I figured installing TerraSilent would root it), so my absolute most important data is on my computer. I also did a simple file backup of the internal USB storage and external SD card to another computer before flashing TerraSilent. However, there is still a good deal of data still need, and a lot of data that would just be a pain in the rear to recreate, not to mention my (valuable to me) game data. What did I do wrong - or did something in the system mess up? And - what do I do to get back to where I was before?
It happened to me when I was on gingerbread with terrasilent. It's a known issue with this kernel. In fact, you didn't wipe the data, but the recovery contain a bug wich format the data as soon as you do an operation wich mount the data partition(I think it's this but I can't remind) but it doesn't wipe the system or anythin else, so the icon, setting and everything else stay there but without anything attach to them. I don't remind what was causing it, I only stopped using cwm with this kernel unless I wanted to flash something or to wipe everything. Sorry but I can't help you more as I don't remind everything, it's been a while since I've been on gingerbread.

Wasn't that problem solved with a later version of the kernel though?
And, assuming that's what happened (what you describe sounds pretty much like what happened to me), would that mean that the only way to try and get it back would be by trying to recover the formatted data?

It was said to be resolved, but it happened to some peoples even thought. Maybe you can recover some of your data with your computer and some tools that let you get the erased data, but I can't guarantee the integrity of your data and you would need to replace every bit of data that was there before to get it running nicely. The easiest way would be to try to recover some of your important data, put it on your computer then wipe your player and start from scratch (wipe data/factory reset) and reinstall your apps. Then put back the save, or setting or files that you got back in your apps. Hope this help, I'm not a proffessional with data recovering or where to put it back after you got it, maybe someone else could further help you with this.
And the conclusion...

OK, my reply is late, but thanks for your help. I managed to copy the partition with all the deleted contents over to the computer, and I'll have to study the contents some other time, because I've spent about 24+ hours on this problem in total, and need my device for more important purposes - those for which the data I managed to copy before the custom kernel and everything else. For those of you who have a similar issue, this is how I managed to save (or that is I am 95% sure this will have saved at least some, as I said I haven't studied it yet) what I hope is a good chunk of my data.
Have you tried flashing a different kernel? Terrasilent also gave me some weird in that after a few days my device would boot into recovery by itself then wipe all my data in that only my system apps would remain. So it's a little different than what's happened to you. I ended up using klin's R3 kernel or Steven's kernel that fixed the issue.

I've got huge issue with steve's kernel. You can get into recovery, but once you booted in it will simply bootloop. Then you have to flash back with odin. So if you go with steve's kernel, don't boot into recovery. As for klin's kernel, I've never tried it, and will probably never as we have some really nice jellybean rom that I recommend you.
I never got that issue with steve's kernel.

Actually, with my problem, my system apps did remain, so it's almost the same problem, only my device didn't boot into recovery on its own (seriously, it booted into recovery on its own and wiped the data? ). I only installed the terrasilent kernel to be able to upgrade to JB, so I'm now on JB, running into different problem (the wrong settings are being backed up from google backup, they're restoring from my galaxy mini 2), but thanks anyway. I am really not having any luck at all with this whole update . But ti-pich, I agree with you, that JB rom is awesome

Yes it did, after 1 week. I was like ???. I reflashed it again and it did the same exact thing, and it happened to me while I was at my college too.
I also had that same issue where it was restoring from the wrong device. I just had to reflash the rom, and install stuff manually because it was making my device horribly slow.

Wow that is some scary stuff, now I know why every kernel/ROM/mod has a disclaimer at the beginning ... I'm glad I'm off that now and on a stable JB build now. I found a way to have it restore at least some of the stuff from when it was on gingerbread (mostly apps and appdata, no WiFi passwords or other settings - at least I'm pretty sure, I'm still working on getting all the stuff up and running) - go into a terminal, and type
Code:
bmgr list sets
It will probably have two different sets, one for when it was on GB and one for JB - or that is, if you had the problem, there will probably be a third set for a different device (maybe more). Then, choose the one you want to restore from, and type
Code:
bmgr restore xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
and replace xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with the apropriate ID from the command before. I'm having to type it several times in order to get it to work - I type it once, it restores some apps, then stops, I type it again, and it restores some more - but I'm hoping it gets as much possible onto the JB build. I guess this won't help you much, I've seen you saying on the ICS and JB threads that you've upgraded a while ago, but I guess if someone else comes along with the same problem, I hope it will help

hmmm. I'm about to try Terrasilent with my YP-G1 (US version) running 2.3.6. This is giving me second thoughts. Does this kernel still cause issues with SGP 4.0s running GB 2.3.6?? Maybe I should try the old Steves Kernel? I just want to use voodoo sound - thats really the only reason I want to root and get these kernels.
