[Q] Flagged apps NOT starting at startup - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This thread relates to desired startup apps, flagged to start are not doing so, or are intermittent. Android o/s 4.1
Included in these are wheresmydroid,gentle incringing,clipper,dropbox and so on...........
Sometimes some will start (its unreliable). For example, at the moment K9 mail is starting at boot, before it wasnt. Other apps showing as start at boot are not doing so; EG clipper, but if I open clipper its possible that at next reboot it will auto start.
The phone is not rooted, I have gone through some of the apps by removing them from startup and enabing them, but seems not to make difference.
BTW I use Optimize Toolbox as startup manage utility.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Regards,
Al.

[Q] Can't Detect Sim Card - Software Issue

Hi
I recently installed Touchpal Dialer to replace the Android Stock Dialer (Phone). I then used Titanium Backup to uninstall the stock dialer. (I only select Phone and pressed 'Uninstall'). However in the process of uninstall, something crashed (some process stopped working) and I was stuck on Force Close (which repeatedly pops up).
So to return to Android I rebooted. However the phone can no longer detect the the SIM card (and hence the network). I tried to access Settings>Call, but I get the error "The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly".
My first thought was to restore Phone using Titanium Backup, but this seemed to be stuck (or at least it was taking excessively long >20min).
Then I reinstalled the rom but that doesn't affect the files required to detect the sim card.
How do I fix this and get my phone to be able to dial again?
Any and all help is much appreciated.

If there was a point in time when everything was working and then one change was made, the stock dialer was removed, then things stopped working, the solution would be to revert back to the working point in time.
Curious, what guide suggested the removal of the stock dialer?
As a side note, before removing files it is always best to either make a complete backup, nandroid, or to at least backup the specific file being removed so it can be quickly and easily replaced.
The main issue here seems to be the removal of the stock dialer. On the technical side of things, the dialer is a very integrated component of Android.
In AOSP, which all ROMs to some degree are based off, the dialer apk file contains not only the dialer but also browsing of contacts and links in on the back end with a few files.
Once you restore the Dialer, I think called phone.apk or something similar, the issues should go away such as FC. If there are issues accessing the SIM card after restoring the previously removed file, off the top of my head, my best guess would be to clear out the settings stored on the data partition. A setting could have been created during the dialer removed state which might prevent the system from restoring proper SIM access.
Hope that adds a bit more detail around the standard process of removing files and making adjustments!
Cheers thanks, much appreciated.
Largely the guide of my ignorance that decided to remove the stock dialer. It's only in the last half hour or so that I've just come by a guide that specifically says to *not* remove the stock dialer. In the first instance I thought it wouldn't be such a big deal as Titanium Backup could always restore it ... in which it turned out it couldn't.
So after all's said and done, is there a way (apart from Ti Backup) to restore just the stock dialer phone.apk (say by download or other)?
Another approach I'm considering is to find a way to flash a custom / stock ROM to fix this. However as my phone is unbranded and on HBOOT 1.49.0018, I'm finding this very difficult with the standard methods posted. On the other hand, ideas are starting to run out and desperation running high!

I have had this happen to me a few times, this mostly happens when you apply a mod/tweak to a rom that is not compatible. Do a wipe and re-flash the rom that you want and it should fix the problem.
Thanks so much for this, that's fixed it.
Re wiping, since you can wipe from the Recovery and installation of the rom wipes before flashing anyway, is it necessary to use a wipe img? If so, what is recommended? (As I'm on HBOOT 1.49, I seem to only be able to run CWM 4.0.1.4 Shooteru Recovery).
ROM not booting
Looks like I've dug myself into another hole again.
The 'Sim Card detection' problem was fixed with a wipe from CWM 4.0.1.4 and flashed with ShaWn3D v1.4 rom. Everything works and I was happy.
But I was keen to try out the LeeDroid rom but the WiFi error keeps recurring despite my attempts with the solutions provided at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248838.
I've tried:
- re-flashing LeeDroid with so many versions of bcm4329.ko I've lost count
- reflashing the kernel with the LeeDroid kernel addet
- re-flashing another rom altogether (King Cobra v1.9) to see if it makes a difference; it doesn't - WiFi persists.
So now I've decided to go back to the ShaWn3D rom but now although the flash is successful, the boot is stuck at the white HTC splash screen.
What have I done wrong?

[Q] Backup via ADB and restore to Secondary identical device

Hi guys, have been searching for a solution to this for days now.
Background
I've had an android application developed which I am now preparing to roll out to our customers. We are supplying the software pre-loaded on 2012 edition Galaxy Note 10.1 3G's.
So far I have rolled out approx 30 units. But this is where I need help. I currently take approx 15mins per tablet to set it up - For each one I:
Turning tablet on
Get past all the initial login screens, dropbox, samsung update, google account etc
Change about 10 settings (sound, display, lockscreen etc)
Delete all the default homescreens and set a new wallpaper (copy a file)
Install approx 4 applications
This is both error prone, and time consuming. So I've been looking for a way to speed things up. Initially tried root > nandroid backup > restore via recovery (not ideal) - then tried some backup apps Titanium, Settings backup etc which didn't seem to work (root required for most)
Help
My latest attempt is backing up and restoring via ADB. Things are finally looking positive down this route. I am able to do a full backup, and then a full restore to the second tablet. The apps are there, the wallpapers changed, the settings have mostly been applied (some missing) but the problem comes when I restart for the first time. Instantly bootloops and I cannot stop it without a factory reset.
I'm wondering if Anyone might have some clues for me as to what I can do to stop it boot looping. Could I backup JUST the necessary files, instead of a full backup (e.g. just settings, and my apps etc?) How do I do this? I'm not super flash with scripting but it would be ideal if I was able to automate the process a little.
Any help is Greatly appreciated at this point. Thanks

[Q] Froze some applictions/services with TB stuck at Spash Screen

Just rooted my phone, installed and paid for Titanium Backup, and was freezing some applications to improve system performance.
Succeeded until the last time, when I should have realized that when I pushed Home, nothing happened, instead I rebooted my phone....... (and yes, I hadn't gotten to a backup yet)
All I get now is the Splash Screen, but the OS does seem to be loaded behind it, I can access my phone by AirDroid, but only over cellular, not over WiFI.
kevin>adb devices
List of devices attached
6126185 unauthorized
(Samsung Note 2, Koodo's Stock ROM, but have never used on Koodo)
Is there an application I can side-load that will disable the Accept RSA Key dialog so that I can issue the 'pm enable' commands via ADB?
Is there an application I can side-load that will just enable all of the disabled applications?
Google searching for the past couple hours, but keep not finding anything useful.
Any other ways to fix this, other than reset?

LG E615f - Phone can't save new information

Hello Everyone!
I need some help with my phone, I'll be thankfully if some of you could help me finding out the solution of the problem.
It's a LG l5 E615f Dual Chip
No matter what I do, every time I reboot the phone, all kind of changes I do it's restored to the day the problem has started (6 july). Even deleted photos comes back, and I'm not talking about the MiniSD Card, its the internal memory, configurations changed, accounts deleted, apps deleted, even the ROOT I've tried to do gets undone when rebooted.
*NOTE: I just tried to ROOT because the problem, I've never rooted before that thing happens.
And I believe that's causing some kind of instability in the phone. It also randomly gives me the following errors:
-"unfortunately, Internet has stopped"
-"google play services has stopped"
-"google play store has stopped"
-"Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped"
-"unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped"
The frequency is about 8 seconds.
And also reboots randomly.
When I try t run an app like outlook, facebook or whatsapp for example it crashes.
The frequency of error messages, reboots and crashes makes the device completely useless...
Things I've already tried:
- Hard and Soft Reset (Soft Reset simply doesn't work, and Hard reset I get the android robot screen, but after reboot everything keeps the same)
- Rooted the phone (after a lot of failures, one succeed, after opening the KINGO Root the app crashed and the phone rebooted and the ROOT were undone)
- LG Mobile Support Tool (After update, nothing happens, everything keeps the same as were before)
- Remove google account and add again
- Delete a lot of apps (I did waste like 1 hour after reboots and crashes and uninstalling various apps, no succeed.
- Update google play services (I used an APK and MiniSD card to do that, receive the message "App not installed.")
- Tried to delete and add files from the PC (Cannot add or delete anything from internal memory, only the miniSD)
That's it, does anybody knows whats happening?
I'm desperate too
I'm having the same problem here with on LG-E612f
E6xx is the old generation L5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7
More info pls
I don't understand... I mean, I looked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7 and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7/help, but our problem is nowhere listed in those places.... =(

Device encryption questions

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S10 5G version SM-G977P on Sprint.
The issue I have is when rebooting the device, randomly it will change my userID to the point the system things it is being hard reset. All my apps force close and nothing works except wiping the data partition and re-setting up my entire device.
I have no idea what is happening, I thought I had all security disabled but something is causing a new user to be detected or whatever. All I know is its annoying. I do have EdXposed, which I want to keep, but I do not think that is the sole cause. I can't force it to happen either.
What I am looking for is someone who understands the startup/shutdown procedure for android and what things in that would cause this kind of behavior. I do have a logcat attached that was taken right after this happened.
Whoever helps me out, I wouldn't mind donating a beer/coffee, cause this is driving me mad.
Thanks,
Seth
Additional information:
So I installed an application via adb, and the device immediately showed the boot animation and soft rebooted itself. Which I overlooked, every time I would reboot the device, it was right after installing an apk via adb. Is there something with the installer that is screwing up and getting user information wrong?
Some more:
I noticed that device encryption is disabled but user_de still shows up. And when this random event occurs, apps crash because they can't read their data in the user_de location (Permission Denied) unless I set 777 to the entire contents of user_de. So the apps no longer are the owner of those files. Its so weird and I think what is happening is the device installs an app and gives it a different user or something and when I reboot, it makes all the apps have this owner and nothing can communicate.
@elesbb
If an app gets installed then by default it's always installed for the headlesss system user ( user 0 ).

That is what I thought.. But, ya know, they changed a million things in Android 10 to make it "more secure" so I have no idea what the heck is happening. Another thing I noticed is EdXposed log contains duplicate entries for loading of the classes, could this be part of the problem?
I honestly am so lost as to what could be doing this.
