Home and messaging keep shutting down!

its happening alot in using cyanogen 1.4.11 on a 32b magic.theres a link on the cyanogen website that might fix it but its not working.
bumbum

Can you please explain more? Whats going on with what. That way we can help you

If I want to write a text message (usually when its important ) I click messaging and it doesn't open and crashes, forcing me to quit. The same thing happens when I I exit an app or come out of suspend. Also occupationally when I receive a call my phone doesn't come out of suspend and stays in suspend but the tracker ball remains flashing

this is the fix i wanted to try but the link doesnt work

fix_permissions is already embedded in the cyanogen 4.1.11.1 rom.
just open a terminal window and run the file (assuming you have root).

what do i type in terminal? Im sh1t at it

Me personally would just reflash the Rom>Theme since it sounds like something got corupted some how

I did a fresh install and the first thing I got on top on the android begin screen was "the application datatraker (process com.fvd.datatracker) has stopped unexpectedly please try again"

And you cleared your ext3 first?

I didn't know it was needed. Formatted and reinstalled now

[Q] Booting

When I try to load a custom build of Android, it proceeds like it has already booted before, eg just a few lines of text, vs a bunch of text like the first time I booted Android (The stock desire build) Is this normal?

It depends of the build you are using. Most of them only show a few lines and then an Android logo til installation is done...

Screen turn into black
Hi,
first i copy the andorid to my SD Card. If i strat the "runapplication" @ the andriod folder, the system is booting but after 2 sec. the screen fades into black. After that there is no reaction.
Can help someone? Please
Im using a normal (OEM) HTC HD2 with only CHT.
Thanks!!

I'm having the same problem (using CoreDroid).
I've flashed my HD2 but I did run the CustomRUU.exe because I don't want to lose my pre-installed stuff.
When I try to run Android it won't go any further than the black screen saying "Jumping to Linux kernel.."

If you used the tool in my sig you would've known that you must change your radio (read the guide in my sig to know how to change it)

Thanks for your response.
Before running this update ROM it gives you the warning it will delete all your personal installed files/data. A friend of mine still had all his pre-installed applications and such, can you give me more information on this?

If you flash just a radio then you will not lose anything on your device. If you flash a ROM (either on its own or with a radio) then it has the same effect as a factory reset - you lose all apps and data.
Look for just a suitable radio if you don't want to flash a ROM.

This is about the CustomRUU.exe file running through active sync..

Hi,
I'm back I have fixed the problem.
@ my hd2 is the spl version 3.00 installed also I can't install the hspl and i can't update the radio (my oem radio is 2.18).
I have only uploaded the android files to the card an run it. After 9 minutes the device restarted and now is froyo with sense running on my phone.
Special thanks to all (the xda app is great)

Market won't stop force closing! - PLEASE HELP!

Hi all,
Last night, out of the blue, every time I tried to download an app from the Marketplace I got the error "process com.android.vending has stopped unexpectedly" and a force close. I have no idea what would have caused this as everything was working fine up until last night, I can't think of any strange updates or anything.
Anyway, after some Googling I cleared the market cache and data as recommended but now I can't even open the Market app at all - well it opens, but force closes straight off the bat (I see the Android TOS in the background). I now get the process com.android.vending has stopped unexpectedly error on boot and whenever launching the market.
I've attempted to install a newer market.apk (current one is 1.82) but Android won't allow me.
The only other recommendations people have given on here to those experiencing this issue on dedicated Droid handsets is to either do a full format/install or to flash something via recovery (doesn't look like I can do this on my SD build)
A couple of months ago I was getting force closes on the calender app and someone sent me a droid.zip file which had a fsck.exe inside it which allowed me to repair my data.img which in turn fixed the problem. I've formatted my PC since than and lost the files and can't find them via Google, at least not one that'll run under Windows command prompt with "fsck.exe data.img" after placing the data.img in the same directory. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Or better still provide an alternative method for fixing this issue?
Using Darkstone's SuperRAM 1.5 Froyo build.
Many thanks!!

maybe you should try an other android rom ?

The best and quickest way to fix this is to use market.app from same build what u got.
So its mean u need to extract this particular app from the ROM and copy it to the /system/app
Or if u dont know how to extract it just ask in your ROM thread so someone whos know how to extract it and than can post it for download.

Not really an option - The build I use is the most stable and one of the most widely used here on XDA (outside the Nand forum) and has been nigh-on perfect up until now (in daily use since before Christmas). I can't replicate how and why this happened so there's just as much chance of it happening on another ROM. Google suggests it's a common problem with the fix (for non rooted/savvy) people to factory reset their devices.
There's got to be a better way and I'm sure the crew here will find it!

Thanks - I'll look into doing it now. I've had no luck installing various Market apks though (with the default market disabled / cleared, etc.) so I'm unsure of the results!

This should help cos if u do it this way u actually not installing/reinstalling the app. u actually repleace the sys market.app for the original one from the ROM. So there is no way it will not work again if it was working before after u flashed the ROM.
I'm pretty sure it will do the trick, but also I may be wrong .
I had some issue on my ROM with cam.app and this proced. helped me.

Hey,
you can try this (very simple):
1. Open terminal emulator
2. type "su" (without quotes) and hit enter
3. type "fix_permissions" (without quotes) and hit enter
4. wait until process is done and exit terminal
5. maybe reboot, but should be fine without reboot
This is a common way to fix force closes, so maybe this helps in oyur case too.

FIXED! [Edit: not]
Here's what I did.
Downloaded THIS
Extract it to C:\Droid
Boot into Win Mobile and move your data.img in \Android\ into the \Droid\ folder on your PC.
Start > Run > CMD
type "cd c:\droid" (without quotes) to get into the directory you've created.
Type "e2fsck -f data.img" (without quotes) and say 'y' (yes) to all the errors you encounter. There will be dozens. When done you'll be notified the modified data.img has been saved.
Copy the newly modified data.img from \Droid\ to \Android\ on your device.
Boot into Android - things might be a bit slower/laggy at first.
All should be well!
Edit: This fix seems to have really slowed my phone down. It takes at least 2x as long to run stable on boot (i.e. stop lagging, load all background apps etc). I've imported my previous data.img over and will be trying the fix by Dom (above).
Edit2: And I'm now getting com.android.media force closes with the modded data.img! Music app won't work. Jesus!

Hey Dom, terminal tells me "fix_permissions: not found" when I run fix_permissions. Am I missing something? (I've su'd before hand) Guess Darkstone hasn't included this script in his rom?

Same here ...?

Did fix_permissions via the app ROM Manager and the Market force close still remains

How about getting a fresh copy of the ROM, and just keeping your data.img. It may not work, but it's surely worth a go.

Hmm, it seems that this script isn't inluded in your roms. But for you SMS92 it seems that it is another problem anyway.
If you wanna try sth. else see this:
http://all-google-android.com/google-android-forums/t-mobile-g1-modders/fix-permissions/
This is an "improved" fix permission tutorial which goes further than the command I posted above...quote from the link above: "fix_permissions is only intended for correcting ownership issues. It does not modify permissions, as is being requested."
In this post is a downloadlink for the advanced script so it doesnt matter if its already included in the rom...
@ricardo: see here if you still wanna try it: http://modmymobile.com/forums/567-motorola-backflip-general/556261-fix_permissions-script.html

It's a no-go I'm afraid.
So far the only thing that's worked is running the repairs on my 2gb data.img using e2fsck on my PC, but this in turn created a load more problems (com.process.media started force closing and the rom seemed to be much slower)
Will try some more suggestions tonight.

if your running gingerbread make sure the app is installed on the phone not the sd

I'm also suffering from this issue it started for me when an automatic update downloaded (which I didn't install) I will see if any of the above fixes work for me & if not I will start with a fresh copy of the ROM. Have to admit I have barely used winmo since I started using this build!

I have the same problem using froyo 2.2

Any chance you could walk me through the steps you took for a fresh install? I am at my wits end with the FCs and a mount/partition error. Here is my setup:
HTC Hd2 Leo
HTC Desire
Android 2.2.1
Mod darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1.5
Build FRG8
I am up for a new ROM or whatever to get my phone back in order. Thanks so much!

[Q] Dual Booting goes straight to WinMo!

Hey guys~
I just installed Android for the first time using this detailed guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881958
I was able to successfully boot Android and make calls, download apps, send messages, etc.
The problem I'm having is this:
When my phone turns off and I turn it back on, a window appears that asks me to choose if I want to run Android or WinMo. I choose Android and then hit OK. The phone then loads Winmo. Right now, the phone is set to start up WinMo automatically if I do not make a choice, but I have been trying this a bunch of times now and the same thing happens over and over again.
As the guide suggested, I installed Android Loader v6.0 Final for HD2. When I was installing the loader, it asked me if I wanted to make WinMo or Android my default OS and I picked WinMo just because I didn't know how I could go back to it if something happened (I am very new to this afterwall).
I read the all 14 pages of the guide to see if there were any similar problems and I searched the Q/A too but didn't. Hope someone can help me!
Thank you~

You will also be asked on installation to select the folder where your Android files are (no typing needed). This NEW feature means that when developers bring out Android Builds that arent in the standard 'Android' folder you can still auto load it without any problems. If you make no selection or cancel then the default location will be set (Storage Card\Android)

Did you select the proper location for the folder your Android build is in, the part I have in red? If yes then try uninstalling and reinstallind the launcher app again.

Thank you so much for your reply!
I had installed the Loader before I had installed the Android ROM because I was going in the order of the guide so I had probably messed that part up. I uninstalled the Loader and reinstalled it and this time saved it in the correct folder.
I never would have though of doing that if I hadn't read your reply~
Thank you~

Can't find my 2.3 update

I was out of the country and used my phone on wifi. Of course as soon as I am gone, I get the notification for the 2.3 update. I downloaded it (160 megs or so) over wifi, but didn't install it since I wasn't sure if it would turn off my airplane mode and I would get slammed by tons of txt which add up $$ quick. It was always in my notification bar for the update and when I cleared all notifications it was still there under "ongoing". I landed back in the US and turned on the cell. A few minutes later I looked in the notifications and the update was gone. Anyone know where the file was saved on my phone so I can go ahead and run the update? Thanks in advance. I checked the "about" screen and I am still running 2.2 (was hoping it automatically updated without me knowing it).

here, download THIS FILE, and rename it to "PD15IMG.zip"
place it in the root of your sdcard, reboot into hboot/bootloader by holding power +volume down buttons, then follow the onscreen instructions.
good luck

That file saranhai gave you is exactly what you need. Do as he says, and you'll get what you are wanting. Its the least dangerous flash you can make to your phone. If you walked into T-mobile and asked for the update they would pop in an sd card with that file and follow the same procedure.
BTW, its important that the name be all caps.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe doing this manual install will wipe your device's memory. Just a heads up as a reminder to backup your data beforehand.

Yeah, it will. Sms backup & restore will save your sms messages at least.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Thanks for the help. Is there any way to run the update that I already downloaded ? I assume that it is stored somewhere, and wanted to see if anyone had an idea where.

Hello,
I really dont know if the file has the same name but you can try using find.
Something like that :
Code:
adb shell find / -name PD15IMG.zip
