You could always re-flash the rom again, or go under settings-applications-market-force close-clear app data. See if that helps, then delete your google account and re-setup.

If your device is booting, then just reflash with odin again. You might also need to do a factory/reset wipe after backing up critical data (such as TiBu backups, and backups from SMS Backup and Restore)
Also, only use the "restore system data" feature of TiBu when restoring from the EXACT same ROM. Otherwise you'll wind up with all sorts of weird problems.
The only times you're completely hosed are:
1) Your USB port is physically damaged and you can't charge or connect in any way
2) You flashed a bad bootloader (so far has not happened to anyone here other than Aou and he was an experimental volunteer) and have the "black screen hardbrick"

[Q] Application is not installed on your phone

I know there are a lot of questions about this on XDA, but no one seems to give a straight answer on how to fix this or even prevent it.
I flashed kh2 deodexed today via CWM, everything went fine.. I installed titanium backup to restore my apps, which I did, they worked fine until I rebooted the phone. Then the apps dissapeared, and the home screen shortcuts display the SD card icon and they won't open "Application is not installed on your phone".
Then, I did a wipe to data and cache partitions, but this time I restored apps only (without data) one by one, as I needed. Not as a batch, as I did last time, and was working ok. Though, I thought I'd try the ICBINB kh2 ROM, so I flashed it fine. Restored apps through titanium backup, this time one by one, mostly apps only (some of them w/ data) and was working fine, but suddenly the apps dissapeared again.
I'm about to wipe the phone to fix this... but, is there a way to prevent this from happening again?
Is restoring data from titanium causing this?

Well there has been many direct answers on this topic. Factory reset. restore from cwm, not TB.

hey, didn't know that. **presses thanks button**
I just restored apps via cwm, fixed permissions and it's working. It even got my settings back.. wtf. I was living under a rock all this time.
But is it completely safe? I guess that for GB builds, doing backups and restoring this way may be harmless, but probably not the same story if coming from a froyo rom.
Anyway, thanks a lot.

yea, what i did was flash both 2.2.1 and 2.3+ fresh. then backup each and whatever rom you go to, flash the corresponding backup.

[Q] GPS won't work at all

I rooted and installed the Gingerclone ROM, and now my GPS won't work at all. I've tried a number of apps that are supposed to fix it/test it but nothing has fixed it. It just says 'locating' forever and never actually locates me. I've tried rebooting, doing a battery pull, and even waiting a few days and trying again. Would I need to wipe everything and start from scratch to fix it? If so, how would I go about backing up all of my apps/settings/data? Does a Nandroid backup do that? Help would be much appreciated!

The easiest way to fix your issue would be to do a full wipe and reflash. If that doesn't work then you may have an issue with the hardware on your phone. The full wipe and reflash should work fine though...perhaps check the md5 checksum before you flash to make sure you don't have a corrupted download of the rom.
For backups it seems most people prefer using the app titanium backup. It allows you to backup and restore everything from apps to data. Its one of the best backup/restore apps I've used though it does require root to run.
I use astro file manager to backup and restore apps everytime I flash a new rom.

So what is Nandroid backup? Would that do my apps and settings or do I need to use Titanium?

A nandroid backup would restore everything on your phone (settings, apps, data, etc.) to the state the were when you made the nandroid backup. This is accessible through cwm recovery or through rom manager.
Titanium is a bit more user friendly and has more options to backup/restore.
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App

Ah okay then. I suppose I'll do both, just to be safe

Good luck with that! And remember if you're using a rom with the voodoo lagfix on it that you disable the lagfix before flashing another rom or you'll softbrick your phone.
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App

I didn't know that, thanks! That is in recovery, right?

Yeah the option is under "voodoo" in recovery. You also need to reboot the phone after toggling the lagfix on or off for it to take effect.
It'll have the womans robotic voice saying stuff when the phone is booting up and what not..
If I'm not mistaken there are also a few voodoo control apps on the market that you can toggle the lagfix on and off with without going into recovery..but again you must always reboot for the changed settings to take affect.

Ack! I just did a full wipe and reinstalled the ROM with no luck, the GPS still doesn't work

My next suggestion would be either to flash a different rom and test if the gps works..and if that doesn't work then I'd attempt to Odin back to stock and then reroot/flash the gingerclone rom.
If that doesn't work then I don't what to tell you...maybe check through the gingerclone thread to see if anyone's had that same issue.

Okay, so this doesn't really make sense to me, but I was just messing around with settings, and I think what was causing it to not work was having 'network location' enabled - it was using the location from the cell tower and wifi, and for some reason I think that was stopping GPS's more accurate location from showing up. Either way, I think it is working now - I'll be checking it when I go for a drive later tonight...

Very weird. Without having the device I can't help. I added a GPS mod to my Rom. Should make it lock much faster.

Try FasterFix, it worked great for me forum.xda-developers .com/showthread.php?t=825717
remove the space of course, I'm not sure if I can post links

I had tried that, didn't seem to do anything for me. I've worked out that I can get GPS to work by disabling network location. It's not the best fix, but it works for now.

Huge problem with ICS Leak

After installing the ICS leak and rooting it, I can barely use the phone. It freezes constantly (for about 15-20 seconds) after any type of touch input, then I get an error message
"Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped"
Going to try clearing data, etc. but I'm not sure what is causing this, it might be the Play Store
Edit: I realized that the issue occurs after restoring using titanium backup. Not quite sure what specific app is causing the issue. Going to factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik, restore using titanium until it works!

Wrong section buddy but ya just boot into cwm and wipe cache and dalvik

I've got no problem. Keyboard lags a little but that's fine.
Try a factory reset

Amidst a bunch of problems
I've had, I've found wiping cache & dalvik and doing a factory reset cleared most of them up. Still have issues with Rom Mngr.

Wiped cache and dalvik but still having issues. What's happening is that it will vibrate once, freeze, vibrate three times, then say "Unfortunately, the process android.proces.acore has stopped." after about 15-20 seconds. I'll try a factory reset but I might have to end up reverting back.

re-flash the rom. I have had this issue before. You HAVE to re-flash.

Through ODIN?

Ok well it seems a factory reset solved the problem (for now). I'll try another Titanium Backup and if that causes any issues I'll probably go back to GB

factory reset solved the problems that everyone is having with serious ICS issues.

Well I think I found the problem. It did happen again but I found the source. After the factory reset everything worked fine. When i did a Titanium Restore, however, I then rebooted, but the phone froze (or so I believe). I pulled the battery and turned it on and experienced issues

Sounds like an issue with something that was restored then...?

Ok, even more issues now. Without doing titanium backup, just a factory reset, the home button doesn't work, the phone doesn't shut off without pulling the battery, and the lock screen doesn't appear. Reflashing the ROM through ODIN to see if this will work...

When jumping between versions(EX 2.1->2.2, 2.3.5->3.0.4, sometimes even 2.3.3->2.3.7), I've never seen a full TitaniumBackup restoration work. Literally the exact same issues you are describing.
At most I can restore games saves/app settings, and I have to use something like SMS Backup and Restore for text messages.

I guess I'll give up on the Titanium restore for now. I've only had this phone for three weeks so I don't really have any data that can't be replaced.
Thanks for everyones help

You want to keep resetting. I had that problem as well. It took 4 tries to get it to work.

Were you using titanium backup?

I wonder how moving the data from /mnt/sdcard to PC for backup and then moving back to /mnt/sdcard after the ROM upgrade will affect the ROM stability...

Ah, I see.
I seem to have fixed most of the problems with before. I'm noticing a very slight delay with the home key, but none of the other capacative buttons, only home. Slightly frustrating.

if a titanium restore is truly the cause of your problem you should tryto restore apps only (not apps & data) you will have to re sign in to everything but you shouldn't have any freezing and such going on....
*note you will also lose any progress in any games and such but already your phone will be functional again!

[Q] I need help.

I'm not a dev, but it's obvious to me something is wrong.
I re-flashed the eaglesblood ICS rom using clockworkmod recovery v.5.8.1.3 (touch version)
everything seemed okay.
until i started putting apps back on my phone with app backup and restore.
I was getting "process syystem has stopped responding" all over the place.
Then the phone crashed.
it keeps booting, only three apps seem to be running that show themselves in the taskbar, Groove IP, GV SMS integration, and Battery Notifier (Big Text)
It sits there, one one of the home screens, LW animating slowly as it will.. then the phone reboots for no reason.
I installed 4 or 5 different logcat apps but i can't make heads or tails of them
and adb logcat > logcat.txt just spits out this :
/sbin/sh: exec: line 1: logcat: not found
dmesg spits out the log i'm attaching.
Can anyone help me? If i can save the log from one of the logcat apps, will that help?
I'd rather not have to reflash and re-install apps AGAIN.

Where you flashing EB 4.0.4 from gingerbread ?
In any case a full wipe and reflash of the ROMs would work fine. Then reflash the appropriate gapps, But when restoring the apps using TB just restore at apps and not their data. They sometimes don't play well.
I had a similar issue when I tried flashing the 4.2 gapps on 4.1.2 keyboard would crash everytime and any app that uses even one of the google services would crash right away.
I cleared dalvic cache did a dirty flash over my existing 4.1.2 , reflashed the 4.1.2 gapps then I fixed permissions and in was good to go.

so a dirty reflash and fix permissions might help?
Funny enough, after posting that, and hitting reboot on CWM recovery.. the phone came up with the cord plugged in, and seems to be stable for now.
Uhm. i was flashing from.... heck if i know, i've tried a bunch of roms.

*grumble* damn sun-downer phone. SO all night it was crashing.. So i finally got irritated when i went to bed, yanked the battery out and plopped it on my night-stand by my fan.
This morning i put the battery in, turn it on, and it seems stable.
What the heck?!

logs.
So... between all the log apps i've played with i have a bunch of logs.. if anyone could look them over and tell me if they see a problem, i'd appreciate it.

Re-download Rom+Gapps
Place on SD card
Re-nvflash cwm recovery 5.0.2.0
Wipe data/cache/davlk/battstats/format system
Install rom+gapps
Wipe cache/davlk/battstats
Fix permissions
Reboot
Using touch is sometimes buggy, 5.0.2.0 is most stable. Restoring apps/data is sometimes a messes things up.
