Hi
I love Android Revolta (and of course, VI) , and I am stoked that its still being improved-upon!
However, when I updated to v1.0.2, Tasker cracks the s**ts and FC's.
I have cleared dalvik and cache.
I have uninstalled, rebooted, cleared cache/dalvik and reinstalled.
I have restored App only from TB
I have restored App and Data from TB
... all to no avail.

linqoon, you are awesome. Thank you for all your work!
Actually, there were a few apps that FC'd for me after installing this update, and so reverted to 1.0.1 to get me through the day.
Tonight I might try a full wipe (previously only formatted system, dalvik and cache, which i believe the rom's install script did for me anyway) and see how I go.

So I did this once before and had to nand restore. I just did it again on a new install of fresh 1.1 with apps2sd and it did the same thing. Instant FC on ALL apps at boot. I'm doing this from RA menu. why is this happening?!

Adb into the phone, erase *the contents* of /data/dalvik-cache (not the directory itself), reboot the phone.
I understand that but It just makes me a little nervous that it doesn't work from RA.
And I don't know why but this thread got posted twice. Mods please combine? TY
If you are using the v1.5.2 I had this same problem along with others users (i run fresh 1.1 also) and i reported this problem in the RA-heroc-v1.5.2 thread, but got thumped on about how this ROM had no problems. I didn't have this issue in 1.2.3. Everytime you do a wipe in this new Recovery whether it tells you to ADB or not, it will cause your phone to FC everything on reboot.

This made me decide to try something. The typical instructions for clearing the caches are:
Quote:
adb remount
adb shell
rm -r /data/dalvik-cache
rm -r /data/boot-cache
reboot
"I tried only the "rm -r /data/dalvik-cache" command in adb, and had the same problem with endless FCs that the wipe dalvik option in the recovery has been causing. I then used adb to do "rm -r /data/boot-cache and rebooted again. Once it reboots, everything appears to work fine.
So it seems like the boot cache needs to be cleared after the dalvik, and the recovery tool isn't doing that."
FYI the clear cache button inside fresh kitchen does do dalvik-cache and boot-cache.

No, you got thumped for recommending that people stay on 1.5.1, which has known problems with backups.

I've had the force close problem twice tonight, and it dawned on me that I had tried wiping the cache in recovery both times. I then tested it a third time and had the same result.
Edit: It would've helped if I had spelled dalvik correctly when searching this thread. Post #85 is about a similar sounding issue.
I have the exact same problem. Now with this new Recovery when i wipe the Dalvik Cache, the phone has a Zillion FC's. I couldn't even use the Nandroid backup, it still had the force closes after i pulled a backup. I just did a Factory Wipe and put Fresh 1.0 back on. Pain In The A**!!!
My Advice To All: Just Don't Wipe The Dalvik Cache Till It Gets Checked Out By Developers Or Go Back To v1.2.3 ...
EDIT: To Be More Clear, I Could Use Nandroid Backup Just Fine, But It Still Had FC's All The Time After Using A Backup.

* See people like to defend thumping, cause they didn't see a problem at the time *
Well I'm very happy to hear some kind of explaination. Thanks guys!
What's the point of wiping the dalvik-cache?

That's the cached java bytecode for your applications. If you erase it, the phone will recreate it the first time you run the application again.

Actually, to be a bit more specific, Dalvik is android's own native language based off of java. It is structured and runs just like java bytecode. Of course we don't code applications in bytecode so we use something familiar which is java source code, then with some help from an interpreter, we take said java source and convert it to dalvik bytecode for running on android.
The reason you may want to clear the dalvik cache is as follows. The Dalvik virtual machine which runs within android caches an optimized version of the bytecode to improve app loading and performance. If you get random force closures it is very possible that the cache for your apps may be incompatible with your current version of the app for any of a number of possible causes.
Clearing the cache forces the Dalvik virtual machine(DVM) to correctly rebuild the cache to what you currently have installed, and in many cases it fixes the force closures. Usually dvm and boot caches are normally the culprit when you install a new rom and experience force closure problems.
Thanks for the help guys! Mods please rename the thread "resolved"
Same problem here.
However, I don't have any boot-cache so I'm stuck with a clean dalvik cache an a ton of FC!
What to do?
Hi guys, I have problem with this tablet. Before Froyo update, it was very slow and some features like Adobe Flash 10.1 wasn't working. After the update, at start everything worked fine, but after few weeks of usage it started to freeze, more and more often.
I tried several things like:
- uninstalling latest apps, didn't help
- resetting to factory defaults, didn't help
- once again updating firmware, did help, BUT
After reinstalling latest update, everything was fine in couple of weeks, but freezing starting again, with smaller and smaller time periods between freezing. Once again, I reinstalled latest update, but this time it didn't help
So guys, what to do? Wipe Dalvik cache? How to do that on unrooted device? Something else?
Thank you in advance!
You have to root to wipe Dalvik cache, but an alternative is just to contact Creative.
Creative support is infamous... I expected that root is needed for clearing Dalvik cache, but was wandering if there is another way?

Depends on the location of your dalvik-cache, it is usually not accessable without root.
You could use the app in my signature (SD Maid) or any other explorer tool and try to see if you can access your dalvik-cache folder without root. But i doubt it.
Thank you very much, I will try it and will leave back feedback.
Unfortunately, SD Maid is not much of a help without root access. I couldn't clear Dalvik cache within. Is there some way to track system events, and to find out exactly which task is responsible for freezing, or at least to have log with list of active tasks done periodically?
Hi, I have a Samsung Admire and have been using Adfree perfectly fine before. However, after upgrading Android from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 to fix the WIFI error, I can't seem to get Adfree to work again.
I get the following error message when trying to install the Hosts:
java.io.IOException: Error running exec(). Command: [su] Working Directory: null Environment: null
How do I get this app to work again?
Uninstall & reinstall. Try to clear cache & dalvik cache in recovery. Worst case scenario, I think, is to wipe everything and install from scratch.

I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, and wiping cache in recovery before, but to no avail. I didn't try wiping dalvik cache before. After uninstalling, wiping out cache and dalvik cache in recovery, and reinstalling, the error is still there.
I am not sure what you mean by "wipe everything and install from scratch". I would understand how to do that if it was on my PC, but not on my smartphone.
By that I meant, as a last-resort option, to completely wipe everything as if you're gonna flash a new ROM. Format everything through recovery, flash ROM, kernel (if applicable), gapps, whatever else. Then set up your google acct. & restore apps from titanium backup, or reinstall all apps from scratch.
BTW, you shouldn't restore Adfree, it should definitely be installed fresh from Google Play.

As much as I would like to give your method a try, it seems too complicated to do. First of all, I never format my phone before. Even though I know how to format a PC, doing the same thing on the phone seems to be new and unfamiliar to me.
Second of all, it seems to be quite a lot of troubles just to fix that error. I wonder if there is a manual method of removing the ads.
Ok, just to be sure you don't have a problem with su, go into the Superuser app, check for updates, and force an update even if there's no new version (it also makes sure the file has the proper permissions).

Yay! That was the problem. Thank you so much! Wow, AdFree app didn't get rid of most of the ads as it used to, but oh, well...it is better than nothing.
Ok so. Yesterday I was testing around some new games. When I installed a shooter game that I found Panda Mobile Security recognized it as a generic virus so I uninstalled the app just like the antivirus told me to. Then after some time playing the other games I had found I noticed that most of the UI sounds were not working.(like when i tap somewhere the usual "tick" doesn't hear or when I type my PIN in the reboot I dont hear the "tick" either. So I tried to reboot hoping that would fix it but it didn't help me at all. At last I decided to reflash my ROM without wipes and I was sure that was gonna fix that. After reflashing my ROM again, wiping cache, dalvik cache and fixing permissions nothing happened at all. Then I tried wiping only /data in CWM and wiping cache, dalvik cache and fixing permissions and thus time when I rebooted the sound was back!!!! So the "file" causing this problem is in /data. Any suggestions? Help please
I think I should also mention that the other sounds(like in games and music) is perfectly fine and I'm running CM9 4.0.4.
I have an LG G3(D851) that seems to be infected by Adware. Last night my device was fine. I was on crdroid 3.6 since it's release with no issues. To prepare for crdroid 3.7, I backed up all my user apps with Titanium Backup and then rebooted to TWRP and ran nandroid backup. I then wiped my data, system, dalvik/art cache, and cache. Flashed crdroid 3.7,opengapps micro, and magisk 13.3. Rebooted and installed TiBu from the play store and restored all my apps. I downloaded 2 new icon packs for Evie launcher from the play store. Suddenly I started having random ads pop up on my screen while in use. Naturally I removed those 2 icon packs thinking it had to be one or the other(one said it contained ads). Despite deleting them both the ads continued. I grabbed ESET from the play store and made a scan. No results. I removed ESET and tried Malwarebytes but again it found nothing. The ads continue and I am sick and tired of them. Any help?

The easiest solution without doing all the monotonous hunting through system files?
Boot to TWRP, select wipe, then select advanced wipe, select system, data, cache and dalvik cache, swipe to wipe.
Go to home in TWRP, flash your ROM, gapps and magisk, reboot, install TiBu again and restore your apps. This should bring you back to what you had before installed the icon packs, this time don't install the icon packs.
