"Manage Applications" force closes - Click General

Yesterday when I tried to uninstall some app, I went into Settings -> Manage Applications to remove it, and it said an unexpected error has occurred and showed me a button to "force close".
It first loaded the list of programs though, and while it was "computing" their size it crashed.
Do you have any idea what might be the problem?
Do you think it would go away if I uninstall everything with astro file manager?
Is it possible that some app has altered some system file irreversably, thus causing this problem?

Was the App installed on SDcard?
What kind of App was it?

After uninstalling applications, they still show in the "manage application" section

After uninstalling applications, they still show in the "manage application" section
Hi,
I don't know if someone else experienced the following issue. I tried to search it on the net but couldn't find something similar.
a few days back I purchased the autodesk sketchbook mobile and I also downloaded autodesk Pixlr-o-matic from the market and I also downloaded Trial Xtreme from Samsung apps, and they all worked fine. But I realised that everytime I reboot my phone those apps started to Force Close.
I decided to uninstall and install again and they worked fine, but again if I reboot the phone, they will stop.
Another thing I found when I was uninstalling those apps, is that some apps that I previously uninstalled are still listed in the manage applications section but with no icon and 0 bytes size. and if I click uninstall they disappear and when I reboot my phone they show again.
My phone is rooted and I tried wiping the cache and the dalvik cache, but the problem is not solved.
I wonder is those issues are related and if someone else experienced the same problem.
Thank you for your help.
Regards
Bassem
anybody ??

[Q] MN5 - Downloaded market Apps won't install

I have a new Nook Color running 1.4.2 and followed the instructions with CWM 3.2.0.1 and MN 5.02.19. Everything looks good except apps won't install. I see the Android market and have downloaded all apps from my Google account. I can see they are downloaded but when I try to install, nothing happens.
I've used NookColor Tools to force stop, clear data and clear cache in the Market app but still can't install.
Edit: I've reinstalled with the apps2sd version plus the stock kernel. Still no joy. Have spent an entire day getting nowhere. I see that NookColor Tool doesn't have any hidden white text on a white background. It's all white text on black background. Toggleing the tick box doesn't seem to do anything.
Can anyone please help me?
heh... toggling that select box breaks app installs for me. I fixed it by rerunning the sd-boot root again. After the root, just verify that the box is selected.
There's also the solution from old_fart
you try clearing the cache and data of both the Google Play Store app and the Download manager
1.Visit Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications
2.Tab over to "All"
3.Select the Google Play Store app, and then tap "Clear data" and "Clear cache;" then, select Download manager and tap "Clear data" and "Clear cache"​
Good luck

Thanks Ron, I do remember the select box in NookColor Tool was already ticked after I ran the sd-boot root. I'll try once more.....Could the problem be that the Market isn't updating to Google Play Store? I'm stuck with the old Android Market. I can see my paid-for apps but it won't download them for installation. Can I force an update?
ps. old_fart's solution didn't work for me
Third time lucky....I tried the root again and this time I didn't toggle the NookColor Tool tick box. Market started it's upgrade to Play Store within seconds and Angry Birds installed first time. Thanks Ron

"files" app doesn't start anymore

Hi,
Since a couple of weeks now every time an app tries to invoke the "files" app to allow picking a file or selecting a destination I see the files app appearing for a fraction of a second, but then seems to die or get terminated.
Didn't change anything since a while on my op2, so far I haven't figured out what happened at a certain point to cause this.
Anyone else ran into this problem? Any idea how to fix it? I tried to clear data and cache of the files app, force stop, rebooting, restoring a backup wit titanium backup. No change.
Rooted op2 with latest oxygen os (3.0.2)
ok I sort of "solved" the problem by disabling the "files" app from TB -- so now I'm given the choice of picking another file manager.
For me it was the Box app that somehow made my Files Manager app crash. I removed it and it is back to functional.

Disable Software Update

Every 15-20 minutes, a popup message comes up with telling me there is a software update available. I have already rooted my phone, and attempting to install the update just fails, but the popup continues to come up even when it fails. Is there a package I can disable/freeze or somewhere I can go to get this annoying thing to go away? It's got a notification that appears with a little syncing icon in the bottom corner in the notification bar, so I figure there is something somewhere I can disable, but not sure where to look...
Use a root file explorer to delete this folder system/priv-app/wssyncmldm or you can freeze it.

Removed the folder and reset the phone; notification still came up in the notification bar. Popup also still comes up on the screen.
Got rid of it for me, I also removed the 2 other folders below it. The other wss.... folders. Hope that helps. Edit: forgot I was in the VZW forum, I have att maybe there is another app for updates. Sorry
Try to freeze "SDM", that should do the trick. If it doesn't clear it, then clear the cache for SDM and then freeze it.

Searched for a package named SDM, couldn't find it; same thing searching for an app named SDM in the Application Manager. Is there another name for it? Because I searched also for something with the name of "Samsung D... M..." and couldn't find anything with that name...

I'm sorry, it's both of these I believe
System updates (com.samsung.sdm)
System updates (com.samsung.sdmviewer)
Right on the nose. Disabled and haven't seen the messages/notifications since.

Make sure you disable securitylogagent also.
I disabled these two with package disabler pro.
System updates (com.samsung.sdmviewer)
securitylogagent
I don't see this package:
System updates (com.samsung.sdm)
I am still getting the annoying notifications. Search has not revealed any other solutions.

Try to disable diagmonagent in package disabler it should do the trick.
This did not work for me.
I enabled all the packages. I then force stopped, cleared cache, and memory in application manager. I then disabled all three again and restarted.
The next day the popup returned.
In Titanium backup, simply open up both system update packages, freeze them then long press them each till you can select "open system details"
Once you open system details force stop and select notifications
set all notifications to off.
Once completed you can go into settings/ and select System updates, it should FC
Hope this helps.

Doesn't Titanium backup require root?

Yes. Maybe you can disable the same apps going to settings/application manager/ more -system apps/ system updates
As i have located them.
I think this is the fix! I have not received any update notifications since.
More comprehensive instructions?
G935V non-rooted (came from rooted) and I cannot get rid of the OTA notifications. I found and disabled securitylogagent and com.samsung.sdm.sdmviewer but cannot find com.samsung.sdm Still get the notification, can disable temporarily by clearing cache of system updates through system app manager, but they return later. Did someone figure out how to disable update notifications, as they do annoy me! Thank you!
Go to Application Manager for Samsung Galaxy S5 SM G-900V and "Turn Off"
1. System Updates (about 1.6mb or more in size)
2. System Updates (about 156 kb in size , rIght below it)

Question com.google.android.documentsui keeps crashing

Hi,
My stock "files" (com.google.android.documentsui) will not open anymore.
I've tried clearing cache and data but it will still instantly crash.
I've also tried uninstalling it with terminal.
That helps with choosing what file manager to choose in some apps.
But a few apps are dependent on com.google.android.documentsui and will not open a pop-up screen to choose a different file manager.
I've searched through the web without an answer. I don't know what to do except factory resetting.
I'm rooted, running the 1.1.3 update, is anyone else experiencing this?

Try a factory reset and if it keeps crashing, I recommend upgrading to 1.1.4..
