ISSUE RESOLVED: DISABLE OC DAEMON SCRIPTS AND DON'T RESTORE DATA, WHETHER FROM TITANIUM OR IN APP FUNCTIONS.
I haven't been able to find anyone fix on the web, so I'm taking it to XDA
So far I've gotten these issues on these ROMs, stock.
-Core Droid
-Runny Xtreme Surprise
-RcMix
Certain apps FC when they try to access the web. Off the top of my head I know Dolphin Browser HD and Friendcaster for Facebook don't work. They don't immediately force close when I open them, they FC when they try to access the internet. Only when I try to load something on Dolphin or Friendcaster does it FC.
And I get random reboots. No idea why, although I seem to only get them when the screen is on but I'm not doing anything. E.G. if I leave my screen on it'll just start rebooting.
I'm not sure what's wrong- the first two times I had it on Runny Xtreme Surprise and RcMix was with heavy modifications. I ended up reflashing and not modifying or installing any apps (Except for Dolphin to test). Still had the problem.
I don't have this issue with Android Revolution or Redemption (which is weird, I have less stability on gingerbread than ICS...), so I'm pretty sure it's not any app causing this.
All three ROMs with this issue are very heavily modified Sense, which might be what's causing this. However, they aren't known bugs and seem to be unique to me.
Any help appreciated And yes, I must have either one of them- I really like the Sense 3.5+ tweaks.
TL;DR- Random FC+Reboot, don't think I did anything wrong. HALPZ
Well best would be the roms thread that you have had issues with and see what the devs offer .

Everytime you flash a rom are you fully wiping? A full wipe is recommend between flashes.
Also make sure you watch what you restore after flashing. Do not restore any system settings.

To tie in with CW if.you restore any apps make sure your restoring data not app and data..

I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything right, but I'll post a breakdown in case I'm wrong
Before flash:
Wipe Data/factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik, format system.
After flash: power off, reboot, wait a few minutes, setup phone.
I usually restore app+data, so I guess I'm doing that wrong , but I've tested this issue with a 'fresh' flash and the app downloaded off the market, no restore. Same problems.
On the Coredroid Q&A 'Towboat_man' said that it might be an OC/UV script issue. I'm going to reflash for the third time, and disable the scripts to see if it changes anything.
Thanks for all your replies
EDIT: Just reflashed (just in case), and disabled OC scripts. So far Dolphin HD, downloaded off market is working fine. I'll test this on friendcaster later.
Yeah sometimes scripts can mess you up. I always suggest trying a rom for a few days without adding any scripts or over locking. I personally never do any of that anymore and get perfect results. Glad you figured it out.
"I am the Bacon Pope"
CRAP+ oh well
Well I ended up having the same issue with OC daemon scripts removed. Apparently this issue was two fold. One, the OC daamon scripts were causing random reboots and possibly my FC problem. The second issue was my back up. Somehow a few certain apps that relied of network access kept crashing when I restored their settings. They FC on on data restore, regardless of where that restore came from. In app restore functions could cause this, as well as titanium.
I'm not sure why this is so, possibly because my backups were from the Redemption ICS rom, whereas all the ROMs I had this issue on were gingerbread. However, I didn't have this issue with non modified gingerbread/sense ROMs like Android Revolution.
I tested this again, and gReader (by oinoin) also had the FC issue.
So long story short, if you have network caused FC's, don't restore data!

Anyone else dying to play Words with Friends on you new Inspire but keeps getting the force close everytime you run the app? I tried rebooting and reinstalling this app but to no avail.

Same issue here on custom ROM, been happening for a day or so since Words with Friends updated. Extra frustrating is the fact that the app resets itself after FC, forcing me to re-enter account info.
Good to know I'm not the only one. I hope we get an update to fix this issue soon...
Working fine here. I had issues when I did the update without un-installing it first but after I did that everything is good. I'm running CM7 if that matters.
I gave up on words with friends and went back to wordfeud. Hopefully the devs of words with friends will get it straightened out soon.

Aha! I actually tried installing the app again today and it now works. They must have fixed the issue and I'm glad they did.
Words with Friends worked for me on stock ROM since day 1. The first day I rooted and flashed Anrdoid Revolution, I installed Words with Friends and it worked fine. I've seen 1 FC from the app since I've had the phone, but all I had to do was restart the app and it loaded right back to my games
It worked for me for a little while but now it pops up with some wierd web address
Have you tried rebooting and/or installing the app?

If you are using Android Revolution(or some other custom ROMs), the hosts file blocks the ads in the app. Either revert to a non-adblocking hosts file or a different ROM.
they just had an update, uninstall words and redownload. i havnt had a fc since then. good luck
even on the latest version, I can't even play! Just force closes when I log in!
Judging by the stack trace I think something in the logon was breaking it. I saw in the stack trace that the app was trying to parse a null value as an integer, which isn't so cool.
I just set up for a packet capture -- but I'm now able to log in again and the game is working fine. Hopefully they don't break their login protocol again, and ideally they make the app a little more robust if the server sends back unexpected data.
I was also getting tons of FC's on custom roms until i ran a fix permissions in CMR. Now it works perfectly
So what do you guys suggest for those who are using unrooted, stock ROMs? Any suggestions?
I go into the apps settings and clear the cache and force close it.. this usually makes it reload the game data which takes a few min, but it works again for me for a while. I do need to tweak the hosts file blocking ads. It causes huge broken ads that make the game unplayable at times.
Yeah when wwf starts acting up again and comes up with a force close (or any bug at all!) all the time, clear your cache and data and try again. Reboot in between if you have to. If that doesn't work, try uninstalling, rebooting and reinstalling again. Sometimes you just need to reboot to fix the issue is what I found out based on my phone. Hope this helps!
Seems that my data for most of my wife's apps got corrupted somehow. All the apps are still installed, but about half wont launch. Deleting the DATA doesn't help, I must delete the application then reinstall for them to start working.
I changed the battery in my wifes phone to charge the backup, and now I got constant force closes. I deleted all those apps and reinstalled them and now those apps work. Also the touchwiz launcher lost all her icons, lost the sorting in the app drawer, and reverted back to the stock homepages. Also the newest contacts are missing, but I'm not sure if they were saved to the sim card or to the google accounts.
This is all on the stock software, no custom rom & rooted. The only thing I can think of is I converted from imnuts kernel non-voodoo to voodoo and I didn't flash the SD card fix afterwards. This was about 5 days ago... How can I stop this from happening again, I probably won't be near her to fix this the next time it happens.
I had to delete almost every app and reinstall, but everything seems better today.
It sounds like some app somewhere or some piece/step related to the kernal is your issue. I would suggest starting all the way over. Flash the stock version and fresh download all apps. This way you will not have to worry about her phone. Good luck and let everyone know if you find the bug. I just had a major bug with the new version of skype that includes video chat.

I installed the leaked skype version that works with 2.2 camera. I wonder if that could have been the cause?
Yep. Gotta reflash.

I'd been running rooted (Revolutionary) with the Verizon/HTC stock ROM (605.9) for awhile and fairly happy. Then I received the OTA push attempt about 2 weeks ago for 605.19... so I opted to defer the push for 2 weeks (June 1) so I could do some research and decide what best to do.
That's when the following problems began... I noticed right after the OTA request... that anytime I restart or reboot the Tbolt many of my core app defaults now go away:
GO Launcher... requires to re selected
Power widget... will not reload (but GO Calender widget is fine?)
Facebook... contacts sync have to be reset (but Google syncs are fine?)
Swype keyboard... must be re selected
Even though I could/can manually fix these disconnects, I decided to take the opportunity to try some other ROMS to see if that would correct the problem. Long story short... I have basically tried 4 different ROMS including 2 different stock ROM (650.19) variants. I am now currently running iKReaM.605.19.NOSeNSe.ROM.v1.0.RLS-R3Ds
which is a nice running ROM.
BBUTTT... with every clean and wipe and reflash, the above "default" disconnects occur? I have tried to search several sites for anyone experiencing similar problems with no success... I know this can't be a ROM issue because it occurs no matter what ROM I use.
Misc info: Several ($paid$) rooted apps that I use are... TiBackup, ADfree, Root Explorer, Superuser (DDChain), No Frills CPU, ROM Mgr... all of which seem to be working together just fine.
Thanks for reading and any thoughts would be appreciated.
I'm beginning to narrow this down to self-affliction... perhaps via something I've done in ROM manager and I keep restoring the problem (???). I deleted all backup data and have reflashed iKReam. One by one I'm adding apps back and have had no app "default" disconnects as of yet. Also I'm not going to reload GO launcher... since the default iKReam launcher (LauncherPro +) is working/reloading just fine and I don't want to chance it.
App Defaults
Sometimes weird things happen like this for the oddest of reasons.
Try running fix permissions in ROM manager.
If it doesn't work...
Did you also clear the dalvik cache when you flashed over to your new ROM?
Did you restore data only from your pervious ROM onto your new one?
Always make a backup before doing anything different, just in case.
If none of this works, I really don't know what to tell you man.
Hopefully this will bump your thread and someone will be able to help you out a little bit more.
This is the second time I've had this problem. I'm running Paranoid Android 2.52 on my Infuse, and everything's been working just fine ever since I ported it. I've installed no new apps and have changed nothing whatsoever, but suddenly, Gapps has begun crashing and this takes other processes down with it.
On boot, Gapps will immediately crash, which takes Talk down with it, and sometimes Trebuchet. And a handful of my apps are crippled by this problem, as well. I can't download anything from the Play Store, the download immediately errors out. If I try to create a picture message, Messaging will crash (though regular texting is okay). Titanium Backup crashes on load, and I'm sure there's plenty more errors I haven't found yet. And the little WiFi or mobile data icons in the notification bar never turn blue, they're permanently grey now. But I still have the ability to use data and make calls (I can connect to Facebook and dial my voicemail, anyway).
I've done some searching into other people with crashing Gapps, and one suggested a fix by wiping the cache and dalvik cache, but this didn't improve anything. Someone fixed it by formatting datadata, which I don't have as I'm on JB. Another suggested it's a shortage of storage space in the apps folder, but I'm showing hundreds of megabytes left in that particular folder alone. I've used a very small percentage of my phone storage altogether. Phone, internal, and external SDs are very low in storage use. When searching for apps, I prioritize a very small file size.
The first time this occured, it was as sudden and inexplicable. The first time was on an older version of PA JB. One day it worked, the next day, after making no changes of any kind, Gapps started crashing with the same symptoms. After enough searching and failing, I decided I was okay with just wiping back to stock and moving up to the latest (at the time) PA, so first I experimented with flashing the newest compatible version of Gapps, and then EVERYTHING on my phone would crash on boot, and it was completely unusable. So I Odin'd back to stock, worked my way up to PA 2.52 a few months ago. The release had only been a couple days old at the time. And everything was perfectly solid and stable, up until just today, again with no changes made on my part.
The only thing I can report is that this time it began happening while I was watching a YouTube video, which I tend to do a lot on my phone, over WiFi. I haven't installed any new apps in weeks, I haven't changed any settings since I first ported PA. Just, suddenly, BAM. Gapps is completely unusable.
Anybody have any idea what the issue is and how to fix it?
Be sure you are using this version of gapps http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
If not, uninstall the version you are using, wipe cache and dalvik and install from above link. Also be sure not to restore from TiBu anything more than just the app. (no data). gl

That is the precise version of Gapps I'm using. Also, I never performed any restore from Titanium, because when this happened last time, it prevented Titanium from loading, so I couldn't make a backup. I made a Nandroid backup from CWM, but then I discovered that no app could restore from the Nandroid backup because it's JB. So, this current port is entirely clean and from scratch, basically.
This is the exact process I went through when going back to stock and building up to JB:

There was absolute minimal use on the phone between steps. Only use was to prepare the phone for the next steps. All instructions I followed are found in those threads and it all went without error.
You did a great job with the process. I am on a different rom (4.1.2 using Scott's build as a base) and am using 20120726 gapps with no prob... may be worth a shot

Well, the last time I had this problem and I tried updating Gapps, it rendered my phone completely unusable, everything would crash on boot, requiring the return to stock. And to be totally honest, this is the week before finals for me, and I just don't have the time to do a whole new back-to-stock-and-build-up right now, lol. So I'm hoping there's a solution that doesn't require all that time and work, because I won't have the time until next Monday night or Tuesday morning. And that's a long time to go with a phone that doesn't work properly.
Either way, thanks for your help so far.
It also appears that some of my apps have started vanishing. I haven't uninstalled anything, but I noticed that my XDA app is no longer there. Just... vanished. And there are some apps I have on my home screen that, when I try to open them from the home screen, I get a small error saying "App is not installed," and that app is not present in the app drawer, despite its shortcut still being on a home screen.
A long series of bizarre errors, this.
How come you gt to have all the fun ?? lol
I will try to find time tomorrow to download the rom and see if I can duplicate the errors and go from there.
I made a tiny breakthrough last night. I was going through my app manager and saw that, despite my clearing the cache in CWM, some apps still had HUGE caches reserved. So I cleared the cache of apps like GooManager, Play Store, YouTube, G-Mail, and any other apps that had enormous caches, and the problem seems to have subsided as a result.
I remember doing something similar last time, and it only worked for a couple hours before the problem came back again. So I'll keep you updated on whether or not the issue does come back. But so far, it seems to've done the trick.

Nice! There is an app in Play called Cachemate (free) that I like for stuff like this. I use it every 2-3 days.
Welp, it's been about a week since I cleared the caches and things. I also moved all the apps to the SD card that would still work. I found an app (DroidSail) that will force-move apps to the SD, regardless of whether or not the stock app manager will allow it. Such as Facebook. There's no reason the 33mb of Facebook can't be on the SD. And a couple other apps like that, the real unimportant, non-functional ones.
Anyway, it's been about a week now and so far, so good. That seems to've done the trick. But why does that happen? What makes this kind of maintenance necessary? And, actually, while I'm at it, what cache am I clearing in CWM if it's not this one? And why does my phone require somewhat regular cache-clearing? Is it a PA thing, or a JB thing, or is just a me thing because I've done all this to my phone?
Either way, final verdict:
Anyone having these problems in the future. just clear your caches using the above methods.
Hello all,
Having a problem with my unmodded XT926. Apps are crashing frequently during the day. Phone is usable but I get messages saying that Google Play has stopped working or Fleksy has stopped working. Keyboard app stops working multiple times a day. At first I was using the native keyboard app, but for the last three days I switched to Fleksy to see if that worked better but no dice. When the keyboard app crashes, I have to force reboot the phone. Do I need to reload firmware or something to get my phone stable again?
Phone has never been rooted (company phone). All I've ever done was disable some apps listed on the Xt926 Bloatware post on this forum and played around with Nova Launcher and Tasker.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it has not resolved my problem.
You can always try to enable certain things that you have previously disabled to see if that helps. I'm not sure what you have disabled but what works for some, may not work for you.
Since your rooted, you can also use Titanium Backup to freeze apps.
Are you familiar with RSD Lite?

The app crashes were happening prior to me disabling programs. I have tried enabling everything again and the results are the same. Most of what I disabled are the bloatware apps (Amazon, MC3, Real Racing, Spotify, etc.)
I am not rooted.
Have never used RSD Lite but will look into it.
You can try going into the "Apps" menu in settings and clearing the caches for individual apps. Some of them get quite large, and the cache only stores temporary data for reasons of convenience.
You can uninstall apps you don't really need (some of them run in the background and use up memory, look in "Running" apps in the system-apps listing).
Tasker is always running in the background; do you really need it?
You can try going into developer options (go into "About phone" in settings, then tap the build number many times) and reducing the background process limit.
If all else fails, you can do a factory data reset, or even more drastic, you can reflash the stock firmware.
Also bear in mind that this is an old device, and current apps expect devices with more memory and faster processors. Every time an app is updated with more features, it uses more memory on your phone and makes it run slower.

Backup important data (pics, music etc.) and try a factory reset. This should cure all you problems.
If this process cures your phones problems, you can root your phone if you like. Look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-razr-hd/general/index-motorola-droid-razr-hd-2015-t3167557
Factory reset was done prior to my post on this board.
Don't think tasker is the problem. After the reset, I manually added apps one or two at a time... Tasker was the last one added, but crashes were happening before that.
Previously, I had been using tasker for about 6 months with no crashes at all.
Right now, I'm leaning toward flashing the firmware. My company has put a temporary ban on issuing droid phones due to that big exploit that was discovered a few weeks ago. I hate iPhones and am trying to keep this one running until they lift the ban.
Thanks for all the help so far. I'm open to trying anything to just get this phone back to a stable condition.

so here is the latest.
Phone rebooted itself, after an app crash and is now stuck on the Droid Eye bootup screen thingy...
Force reboot doesn't fix it. Took it to Verizon store downstairs for sh*ts and giggles and they were no help. No surprise there!
Does this sound like a hardware issues to you guys?
Guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get an iPhone from my company as a replacement.. unless someone on here has some miracle suggestion.
It sounds more like a software issue to me.
I would see if you can get into fastboot or ADB and flash a fresh copy of the firmware before giving up entirely.
A full flashing of the firmware via RSD Lite will probably fix your issues
So I was able to Flash firmware to 183.46.15 and I also rooted the phone using sd_shadow instructions. Took me quite a while to actually download a working firmware file. The only working link I found was here: http://download1520.mediafire.com/rnbmstjwc1wg/du1p88ti1esd5fk/VZW_XT926_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_1FF.xml.zip
I guess I'll see if the phone is any more stable over the next few days.
Thank you all for the suggestions. Much appreciated!
Was this ever resolved?
