Installing apps on custom ROM causes reboots - T-Mobile Sidekick 4G

Hi!
Apologies in advance, I don't know much about the workings of android, I just follow guides!
I'm trying out my first custom rom, namely gingerclone, and am having trouble getting all my apps back up and running...
Before installing the rom, I backed up all my apps and settings with titanium backup, so I could restore them much easier after the rom change.
Although when I tried restoring them, I had lots of force closes with titanium backup itself, and about half of my apps would immediately FC on opening and didn't have icons. I then uninstalled the problem apps manually in settings>applications, and tried installing via the market. For some apps, it worked fine, but for others, whenever I try to install from the market, my phone reboots when the download is done and it tries installing. Sometimes it won't even download and just gives me errors, and for some they will install, but will not launch, just force close. I've tried cleaning the dalvik cache with titanium backup, and deleting settings files for the problem apps from my sd card, so that as far as I can see, there is no trace of them. But still, random reboots whenever I try installing, or unopenable if I manage to get them to install.
Any idea what could be going on? Plenty of other apps have installed and are working fine, so I'm stumped.

Had the same exact problem trying to install apps with titanium backup.
what i did was just slow down and install each app one by one and wait for each app to completely install before trying to install the next.
trying to download all of them all and once always made my phone reboot like it does to yours.
well hope this helps!

Wel I ended up uninstalling them all and trying to install again from the market, but I can't even get them to install individually now. It seems like trying to restore the backup has put some rogue files somewhere and is messing it up when I try to install the apps...

I have no idea why, but everything has started working again, so problem solved :/

I don't know. That never happened with me

Some things I learned from personal experience

I received my G Tab yesterday and within 4-5 hours last night I had installed 4 different ROMs, installed multiple kernels, and tested a ton of apps on each. I even got in to a boot loop, couldn't get the standard market fix to work, when installing at one point it FCd and then said it couldn't install more, etc, but I worked them all out. A few things that I learned that may help people (All instructions are with TNT 4.4 but work with other ROMs in different directories)
Market fix:
The standard market fix that is floating around is not always sufficient. To be sure that it will work, you need Titanium Backup installed.
Steps
1. Settings->Applications->System applications->Market then Clear Cache (if any) then Force Stop
2. Go back one and then Google Services Framework then clear data then Force Stop
3. Go to home and open Titanium Backup
4. Select Backup/Restore tab
5. Select Google Services Framework
6. Select Wipe Data
7. Go to home and open market (it will error and close)
8. Reboot your tablet
9. Open Market and you will have full market (I can't find anything I don't have)
----------------------------
For me, my boot loop came after installing 4 ROMS and on TNT 4.4 it crashed while using an app and went in to a loop. I had cleared everything in between all the installs but something must have been left over. I needed to repartition my sd card in CW. It worked great, but remember, select 2048, and for the second option select 0 or it won't work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
Also, remember to back up the titanium backup folder and anything else to your computer before doing this. It will wipe everything.
-----------------------------
The last issue was when I was installing a few apps the market FCd and then when I went back in it wouldn't let me install the apps that were going to install. I tried all the regular things like wiping data and cache but it didn't work. What worked was removing the corresponding asec files within the .android_secure folder at root.
-----------------------------
Almost every single app I have installed works great. The only major problem so far? The Grooveshark app. TinyShark works though.
I just got my Gtab too. I installed VEGAn and the kernel to go with it with the latest ClockWorkMod. When I installed Titanium I got an error saying 'ROM is not rooted' or something similar to this.

Titanium Restore on 3.1

3g Xoom with freshly installed BRD 3.1 packages.
3.1 update went well, reinstalled Titanium to restore everything.
Restore seems to go fine, yet virtually every app that gets restored, once run will FC. Every single time.
Any ideas???
Thanks in advance!
Im not sure, but I think it has something to do with the fact that the update gave us a new android version. I dealt with the same problem last night as well. What was weird was that the only app that restored the app+data without FC probkems was Angry Birds.
Restoring the apps only (no data) worked every time though...
Reboot into recovery, Fix permissions, reboot. I had no problems at all after doing this.
When i use titanium backup i'm only showing some xoom functions, not my apps. How do i fix that? Did look for threads before posting btw.
I had this problem also. I tried restoring all my apps + data and got force closes. I uninstalled the apps and downloaded them from the market- they'd work.. Try to restore data to the newly downloaded app and again it would FC. Market doesn't recognize the apps that are replaced via Titanium Backup so I had to download them anyway just so I would be able to stay updated.
Another problem I had- Titanium no longer recognizes that I bought the pro version. I downloaded both parts (titanium free and the pro version- that's just a key...) but Titanium doesn't open all features after downloading Pro from Market. I see donate version only beside hypershell, etc...
It also takes a VERY long time to ask for root rights when starting up... Anyone else?
I will try to restore one app from Titanium and fix permissions as mentioned earlier in the thread. Here goes nothin'....
To the guy having issues finding his apps- try installing the busybox installer from jrummy16 in the market (the other one didn't work for me), install busybox 1.9 from it because the busybox that TB installs didn't work for me (and other people) and then make sure in your preferences that you have the correct folder selected for backing up. The autodetect worked for me.
EDIT: Wow! Fixing permissions solved the FC issue- now I can restore all my apps. The problem with TB not recognizing that I've downloaded Pro version remains however.

I'm having the same issues you are having with TB. It takes a very long time to get root permissions and it will not recognize my pro key either. It says "Reboot / See checkout.google.com". I found a thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13728994&highlight=titanium#post13728994 ) that has mention of what at least one person was able to do to get it working, but it's not working for me. My busybox is v1.18.4, but it's just not working.
Fixing permissions didn't do it for me, but I appreciate the response.
It's weird- the apps and data install fine. I run the apps and they seem to load alright but within 2 or 3 seconds they always FC.
It's very odd....
Thanks for the replies folks!
Titanium has been updated. Everything works great now.

[Q] .apk file not found (freezing an app help)

Hi guys so I froze certain T-Mobile apps that came preinstalled with the phone and everything was working perfectly; the apps were gone. After I reinstalled the rom over the first rom (to get back to the rom's original theme) the apps are back. When I try to freeze them again it says that .apk file not found and it also shows that it's already frozen. I'm using Antek app manager and the same thing happens on Titanium Backup. Is there a way to fix this?
The obvious fix would be to flash and wipe data.
To fix without loosing your current data, one would need to know how Antek app manager freezes the apps.
It is most likely done through the package manger, maybe take a look at this:

[Q] Titanium Backup (TIB) freezes after rom upgrade

Hi,
I have upgraded my MZ604 to Team EOS latest stable ROM (EOS 3 JB).
Everything went fine since I have followed the instructions posted in this forum, like making a nandroid backup (just in case) and backing up my apps with CWM.
I have also done a factory reset and cleaned the Dalvik's cache.
The new ROM is really fast!!! Thanks to team EOS.
The problem started when I tried to recover my apps.
When I tried to reinstall them with TIB, it freezed.
I tried many times with different options and none of them worked.
Finally I reinstalled everything from the market, and my tablet is up and running again.
Since I intend to try the nitgly versions from now on, I would like to understand what I am doing wrong, since it takes a long time to download and configure all the apps I have installed.
Any help?
Thank you.
I hear ya there mine installed 28 of 31 apps and froze! Any help on this?
I had something similar a while back and in my case, the apps that would not restore with TB were in the data/app-asec directory, as opposed to data/app....
app-asec was introduced in Jellybean (I think) and is where a lot of paid apps may now reside. It's an anti-piracy measure I think and for me, TB would struggle to install them here.
My solution was to amend my TB prefs to force all restores to go to Internal Storage. It was previously set to "where backup was taken from". Forcing it to internal restores them to data/app and that has worked fine for me since....

[Q] Trouble opening Downloads app

Alright this has happend a couple times in the past to and I did not think much if it. It has began happening again ever since I flashed the latest Mahdi ROM. Now it might be a problem with the ROM but It has happend with many other ROMs as well. I was wondering if there is some sort of fix...When I go to open the Stock Downloads application it always say "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped working" now I can download everything fine but I just can't open the application. I tried going to the app and clearing the cache but that did not do much...any help would be appriciated.
Try reinstalling gapps
Hi,
Have you deleted or froze (with Titanium Backup for example) some system apps?
Because this has happened to me when I froze, don't remember exactly, some files like:
Code:
GoogleBackupTransport.apk
SharedStorageBackup.apk
BackupRestoreConfirmation.apk
And maybe one or two others..., sorry I can't be more precise because now I don't use DowloadProviderUI.apk (deleted), the stock download app if you prefer. Did you flashed the Gapps, if yes which ones?
Im gonna try and re install the gapps now, I did use bloatware remover to get rid of some apps. Im using the pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.2-20131230-signed gapps...
clear data for the app in the main phone settings, apps, all..
