I am experiencing the same issues. I assume you have this problem with ICS roms, because that's where I get those problems. I am currently running WEUI and half my apps are not at all working. I have also flashed back to stock, tried ICS Slim and MIUI v4, but no luck. I am also getting issues, while listening to music, where the song will keep on playing, but the app will ask me if I want to FC or wait. This has only happened recently. I really do not feel like going back to 2.2 or 2.3. Any help is greatly appreciated
Have you guys tried fixing the permissions?
That usually fixes most force close problems.

Tried it, but no luck. Only option now is to flash a different ics rom, and see if that works. If all else fails I can always go back to bionix.
2 questions:
1 Can you see your internalSD with a file explorer?
2 Did you try wiping /cache and /dalvik-cache and rebooting?
I find a good wipe cure many things wrong (with my phone too )

1. Yes
2. Yes, usually before I flash a different rom/reflash rom to try and fix this I wipe data and wipe cache patition and dalvik cache.
OK. The first question was to make sure you still had access to your internal and not sole sort of veiled encryption error.
Let me think about somethings and ill get back to you. I am wondering if it wouldn't be a bad idea to format /data and /system to make sure that you don't have any ghosts lurking. If you do, make sure you back up SDs contents to PC just in case.

All those apps are still force closing on 2.2. Could it be, because I'm restoring them from titanium backup?
I'll try to backup SD onto my Computer and then format sd. It's probably some ghost file that is causing my phone to have errors. It probably is a file that has to do with MIUI since I flashed that as it happened.
Btw thanks for trying to help
Edit: I formatted sd card, put all the files back onto sd card, restored apps with tiatnium backup, but still no luck. I even factory reset,wiped cache and dalvik cache after formatting sd, but still no luck.
Thanks everyone for trying to help. I figued out the problem. Titanium backup was causing all those apps to have issues. I uninstalled all user apps via tb and download them from the market. I am getting no force close what so ever, with dl apps from market.
Usually when that happens from TB, it is from restoring system files (they show in red in the TB list of apps).
I use it to restore user apps + data every time I flash a new ROM, but I never use it to restore system apps, and I don't have any problems with it.
Since you've already restored from the market, you could try running TB and deleting it's backup data and then running a new batch backup of user apps (and no system apps) to have the freshest copy of your apps from a working system. That should allow you to restore in the future, hopefully without issue.

This could be a problem with using TB. TB gives you the option of restoring apps+data. If you're coming from a 2.2 rom to 4.0, you don't want to keep the data from a 2.2 rom. What you can do is restore apps without the data. That should solve your problem.

I tried flashing the Rom yesterday and was successful. The issues I had revolve around restoring my apps. I used My Backup Root for stock to Froyo, but this time it seemed as though the apps were on the phone and the card, which cause an error stating that I didn't have enough memory. What should I have done to restore the apps to preserve the memory? I also received force close error for SetCPU, SlideIt (which I love), and a few others.
Also, what is the benefit of partitioning my sd card and does doing so erase it's current contents?
Lastly, are the nightlies a full rom or just part that needs to be flashed? If found some on CMs website, but not here.?
Yes, I'm a NOOB.

Regarding your nightly question, they are full ROMs...the difference between them is the code that was committed within the previous 24 hours. Of course that also means that, in theory, some of the nightlies could be 100% the same...anyway, the nightlies can be a beautiful thing or a disasterous thing...usually if there's an issue with a nightly it is quickly found by those who flash each nightly and it is brought up around 3.2 million times and it is typically fixed by the next nightly.
Partitioning usually does mean a wipe of data on the SD. Careful!
When I upgraded to a 32GB flash from the stock 2GB from my Aria, I backed up the entire contents and restored on the new one. Apparently there is volume information stored somewhere (not sure where) and the phone couldn't recognize the card and asked me to partition it.
Because I had a backup, I decided to do so, but instead of partitioning for the entire size of the chip, it partitioned only 2GB!
So I had to stick it into a reader and repartition it manually and then selectively restore music, etc back on the card.
After that it worked just fine. So short version: yes it does.

You will need to creaate an sd-ext partition to fix the issue of installing (larger) apps with CM7.
The best way would be through ROM Manager.
wifi
Installed the RC2 and can't connect to a hidden SSID wifi network.
That is a known issue with the wifi driver on cm7 thus far. Not sure if it will be corrected though. Anyone else know if it is in the works?
"Do you mind if I turn up the AC?"
I believe if you flash to nightly 14 all will be good, not 100% sure though.

Great input from everyone. Thanks! Following up on the sd-card partitioning... I have a new 8g card and want to more to CM7. If I partition it, what happens when I restore the backed up app using My Backup Root? And, what is the best partition configuration, why, and what info get store in each section (ext)?

The easiest way to partition is using your ROM manager.
Just select the max size for SD-EXT (I think it would got to 512MB), and none for swap.
I'm not sure if this would have any effect on your backup - I myself started out from scratch and got my apps from the market even though I had made an Astro backup...
You will store all your stuff - music, pictures etc in the normal partition. The SD-EXT will be automatically handled by the phone.
Tried flashing Nightly 22 on my Aria from 17. I spent a lot of time customizing 17. Is there a way to keep all of the old home screens? Also, GPS lock isn't working for me. Using MyBackup Root for Apps, but it seems to duplicate the apps?

You should be able to flash each new nightly without losing any of your settings/customizations/homescreens and apps.
While upgrading from ROM manager, just check the backup option, don't check wipe data and cache.
I can confirm this works transitioning from 14 to 22 because I just did it yesterday night
As for the GPS problem, thats a known issue - the workaround is to make a nandroid backup of your current cm7, then do a complete phone reset, then do a nandroid restore of cm6 or 6.1 (hope you have one), do another factory reset, and restore your cm7 from the backup you took in the 1st step

first of all, i would never suggest using rom manager for things such as that. historically it has only caused problems and has been more of an inconvenience than anything. second of all, when you boot into CWM and do it the right way, don't wipe data, it's suggested but not necessary that you wipe cache and dalvik, then flash the rom and you'll be good.
Thanks to both of you. Big help and not deleting the data did the trick. Looks like I'm good to go and GPS is working well again. Is there a way to ensure I don't have duplicate apps taking up space on the card and phone? I'm getting errors on moving some apps to the sd card.

Not all apps can be moved to the FAT32 partition on the SD card. Widgets also, won't work properly if moved to the SD FAT32.
If you need more memory, look into (read up) partitioning your sd card with a ext3 partition and installing S2E or Dark Tremor a2sd (DT a2sd).

Oh, I had no idea about that, thanks for the info.
I've been using ROM manager without any problems so far, apart from one lately, that when I reboot to recovery, I always get an error screen - exclamation mark in triangle...but I just pull the battery and reboot into recovery manually and it starts whatever command I had given it (backup/new rom) automatically...
Recently I have been having this problem. I go into system recovery and make a nandroid backup. then tell recovery to reboot phone. when the phone loads. I check the backup directory and there is no new backup. I do however get a rather large file in my lost.dir (I am thinking this is my backup?) I am using the system recovery that comes loaded with eclipse v0.6.1 and have it installed and set to recovery. also using the supplied charger from VZW.
So when you go into nandroid restore there is no backups there?

right. I load BSR make a Nandroid backup, reboot the phone and it is not there. I do however have a large file in my lost.dir folder. This does not happen every time, but recently started happening, seems to happen more than not. I have been able to get a backup but it took 2 or 3 attemps for it to "stick"
Had a similar problem recently. I did a nandroid backup, but got some weird message about it not being able to backup sd-ext (which was my target). When I checked, there was no backup created, but in addition my entire Titanium Backup directory wound up in LOST.DIR. Dunno what happened, could be related to some other TB problems I'd had recently, but it was annoying as hell.
Deleted the contents of LOST.DIR, recreated Titanium Backup, and tried to do a nandroid backup again. Still got that weird "could not backup sd-ext" message, but it seemed to take this time. Might have been an error on the SD card?
I have ALWAYS gotten the line about not able to backup sd-ext no partition found.
I don't need to backup my external card anyway. It never gets deleted unless I specific format the card.
I have never had a problem when making my nandroid. I ALWAYS backup to external and it shows up in a folder named clockworkmod>backup>then date and time backup was created.
Are u trying to backup to internal or external? I have noticed that even tho sd flip is installed with eclipse that system recovery does not see this flip so if u backup to external and look for it in root explore it will be in the sd card folder(which is really ur external due to sd flip) sorry if that's confusing how I wrote it.

I believe the message you're getting is normal. I've seen that message with every nandroid backup that I've created. Not sure if it is related to the problem, maybe? Thank you for the reply.

This is a very strange problem indeed.
I have created and restored backups consistently over the past few days due to all the activity here with roms but I haven't had the issue of it not "sticking" when making the backup.
I wonder if a reinstall of system recovery could help with this
Um could you possibly reflash your device? This might be a bug buried deep inside the rom, if you use ti backup it restores your data almost 100 percent.
Make sure to clean data, cache, and dalvik cache.

First id like to point out some roms delete worthless directories. If it keeps being put into a lost.dir maybe it actually was a needed directory that was deleted. In which case you can just make the dir "clockworkmod>backup>" maybe that's all it needs. Im not 100% sure
I have read a few posts across forums saying to ignore that error of not being able to backup sd-ext ... although I've also never had an issue with using the backups I've created.
However I hit install system recovery and it does. I go into recovery mode and it does. The strange part is every rom I install takes out my recovery. On my DROIDX I never had this problem. And it makes having a backup a little worthless because if the phone boot loops I only have the option of rsdlite then reinstalling recovery and then using the backup. Yes that keeps it worth it but it loses the usefulness. Does anyone know how to make it permanent? Or at least survive a data wipe... my last rom was ATRIX which did a data wipe without asking in past roms I do a cache wipe and leave data on to make sure it is usable. Then I wipe data and reinstall recovery...

I think that rom makers might be able to male it permanent by having isbn debugging already on and have the hijack charge only mode script system recovery uses already installed. I don't know if that is possible tho.

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.

For instance, I delete most of the notification and ringtones that come with a mod. In fact, I've deleted all of them. I've achieved this using Root Explorer with RW enabled.
But when I go into Settings > Sound > Ringtone\Notification, some names show up. I've tried deleting cache, etc. But no matter how many times I do this the names show up; even after restarting my phone.
2 vanished somehow, but I still have 1 left. Specifically it's called "Teleport". There's no real file and no sound to play from. So when I highlight it, it doesn't play, because I've deleted it. I just want the name gone. The nonexistent files don't show up in any music list or even in file manager such as Root Explorer.
It's been like this for a while. How can I fix this? Any apps, tricks or something?

I think I'm going to update to the latest CM7 rom, as mine is months old. So I'll just do that for the new rom.
Just a few quick thoughts...Have u tried clearing dalvik cache in recovery? Also if u are flashing the same/similar ROM u may not need to do factory reset / wipe data. Though u may need to clear data for Media Storage (and possibly wipe dalvik) before flashing so it has to recreate it after flashing the new ROM.
Odd little problem u have there. Could be worth while to just flash a clean rom and try deleting the files to see if it still happens. Also, u could always delete them from rom before flashing and then try to only restore data from a backup. Kinda doubt that would work but if all else fails.....

Yes, sir (sir?). I have done that as well. No luck.
I deleted the ringtones/notifications in the latest CM7 RC2 released on May 9th before flashing on a full wipe and it worked, but unfortunately the rom kept freezing and restarting so I went back to my nandroid backup. No matter how many wipes and cleans I do on this, plus fixing persmissions etc, nothing works. It's no big deal, really. It just bothers me because I've got OCD and I refuse to believe it's there, therefore not allowing me to pick what I really want (maybe I'm stupid about it that way).
I'm just going to wait until there's a stable release and just start over from there by getting rid of the ringtone/notifications in the rar.
Thanks!
I installed V1 of barepop on sunday and everything was working perfect. Today I remembered that I had some memos in quick memos that I needed, so I restored my backup (I think it was ZV4), exported the memos, and then restored the backup of Barepop that I made right before. However, now most of my apps crash or don't open. For example, when i open instagram it stays open but when i begin to scroll it FCs. And when i check the app info, it says that it has 100MB of cache. I tried doing a clean install again, but I get the same problems. Most of my apps crash or don't open. Does anyone know how to fix this? Is it a problem with the modem or conflicting data with KK and L?
Did you wipe:
Dalvik Cache
System
Data
Cache
All of these?
If you didn't wipe data from a past rom it can really mess things up. Try wiping those four partitions and then restore your backup.

Maybe. The modern isn't backwards
compatible. When you go back to zv4/6 you should flash the modem also. And maybe the rpm,tz partitions. Not sure on that yet.
It almost sounds like your internal SD for corrupt. You might have to format it. Backup your files first though.

Okay I wiped internal and installed barepop v1, and now i have no softkeys at the bottom of the screen and the status bar does not show up either.

I was able to install CM12 with no issues. I don't if this helps narrow down the problem
Use the flashtool and go back to zv4 and reroot and then do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/help/fix-missing-wifi-calling-zv4-t2842102
