Ok, so i was trying to use one of the apps on the market to change my DPI. I was running nova launcher (i know stock has issues) but after reboot nothing is happening, its stuck on that Asus boot screen... Any ideas?
Is there a way to force a reset or something or should i just take it back to bestbuy and have them replace it?
Decided to just take the sucker back to BB and let them deal with it.

So I was trying to edit my home screens, delteting them to start from scratch. The process was laggy. Then I got a Force Close screen
Sorry!
The application ADW.Launcher (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Dumpstate_app_201008261031_android_process_acore.log has been saved. Use *#9900# to copy out log

I hit Force Close --- and the Force Close Screen comes on again
and again
and again
Turn the phone off and on, FC screens again
reboot in safe mode FC again
How do I get my phone back?
I just tried to reboot again and now I have the yellow robot sweeping "Downloading" screen.
I really did nothing strange. Did ADW.launcher just brick my phone?
Basically, I can't do anything. I tried deleting cach. Deleting user data. Nothing on the recovery screen changed anything.
The phone boots up and gets to the locked screen, but as soon as I swipe to unlock the endless loop of ADW.launcher force close screens begins.
Kill ADW.launcher!
Nothing? Oh well.
Odin3 One Click Stock Rom. Should get you all back to usable. Personally I haven't had ANY issues with the ADW.Launcher and I've done all sorts of weird things on my phone. I didn't like LauncherPro.

Thank you so much for the response. I've seen the posts about Odin before, but I didn't know what it was, or else I would have went right there. It seems to have worked, getting back to the stock set-up. Thanks!
Definitely not going to reinstall ADW. I liked it but it just went berzerk on me.
Hi! I have a Charm/Mb502 and, after sometime that I bought it, I instaled a root apk on it and have uninstaled the original Home.apk to install other homes like Zeam and LauncherPro.
The thing is, the cell-phone was having some problems and I think I should make it factory reset. Thats what I did, but now that is reseted, it have no home because I have uninstaled previously, and now it stays on a black screen after motorola logo!
What should I do, do I lost my cellphone?
Hello, This is my first post. I have the vanilla GTAB with the 2 updates that were automatically loaded last Dec. & Jan. I frequently get force closes. Today when I booted the gtab, I had it connected to my pc, but I clicked 'hide' at the activate usb prompt. Then the usual force close occured in Launcher pro. At the same tiime there was a prompt that said something like "which app to use for this action" 1) desktop or 2) launcher pro. Since I thought I already set this to Launcher pro, I selected Launcher pro, and (this is the important part, I think) I checked the box to make this the default action. I had done this before so I didn't give much thought to it.
Well, the device immediatel began looping between to 'force closes' that look similar: 1) The application LancherPro (process android.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Pleas try again; and then the second half of the loop is 2) The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Note that in #2 it doesn't refer to LauncherPro.
I rebooted the ddevice and it immediately goes into the same loop.
Is there any way out of this? I can't help thinking it is caused by making the failing app (Lpro) the default action. How do I get the prompt back? Or have I bricked this gtab?
I was able to activate usb support between loops, so I have backed up all my data to my pc (whew!), but I can't get the device to do anything on it's own, other than loop. I do not have a recovery file or any of the suggested clock??? utilies. This is a completely vanilla device. Therefore booting with recovery (power + vol +) just comes up and enters the same loop.
Sorry if this is long winded, but I want to hear any advice before I follow Viewsonic cust support's instructions to ship it to them for a hardware reset. TIA, -Jim
Try Fix Permission in the Recovery. I face this problem every now and then and could not find a better permanent solution . Its really painful at times. It usually happens when my Gtab awakes from a long sleep (like remaining in standby for overnight).
I just experienced the same problem the other day. It is my third time with all the loops and force close and android.process.etc.etc. Unfortunately the GTab with the stock OS has this troublesome issue. I followed the instructions to install clockworkmod (CM) restore to stock with the 3389 mods, and now when it happens I boot into CM and first try and clear the cash and if that dosen't fix the problem then I do the wipe data/ factory reset option which is a pain, but if you have backed up everything you are back up and running with everything restored in less than 15 minutes. Do a quick search and you will find the CM solution to get your tablet back.
Hope this helps! I think everyone who has this device has gone through it. I guess for the price what can you expect, $799 for a XOOM without flash or $350 for the Gtab with flash and some issues. There is always a trade off.
Thanks VERY MUCH for the replies. So minardml, it seems you have done the factory reset yourself. Is there instructions for this online? You took the back off the unit to do it? I will search for the CM solution. Also, kshwetabh, you are right it had been several days since I used the gtab. Could you explain how to "try fix permission in the recovery?"

@newbieJim, before wiping cache or factory resetting try Fixing permission option. It always works for me.
1. Reboot system into Recovery (Shutdown. Press and hold Volume Up(+) button and press Power button.
2. Select "advanced" ( scroll the options using Volume up/down button). Press Home button when on "advanced" option
3. Select "Fix Permissions".
This will take a while (depending on the packages/apps installed). Note that you will not see any progress bar. Once complete simply reboot.
Hope this helps . I don't know how the system looses permissions but somehow it does.

Sorry if I led you to think that I took the back off as I did not do that. The options that I was refering to are in the menu of clockworkmod. If you haven't found the fix I was talking about (installing CM) post again and when I get home later today I will see if I can find it. I think I may have bookmarked it on my laptop.
I just keep the home button prompt on. it seems to prevent 90% of FCs and also improved the screen lag i was getting.
it may be another step, but it's less of a pain the the ass in the end.
Once again thx to all. I will attemp recovery again, but I don't have high hopes because, as I said, the loop happens even in recovery (or safe) mode. IOW, I cannot get to any menu or screen.... Only the loop. I do not think I can install any new app., but I will try tomorrow when I return.
Hi there. I'm very new to the whole Android thing, but I love it. I have an ATT Inspire 4G. Here's my problem, and I know its picky, but its annoying. After I use the messing service and I hit the back arrow, my phone just gets stuck on a white blank screen. It will not change unless I hit the home key. I had been using the GO Launcher EX home replacement app. I never had the problem until I downloaded Ultimate Faves Pro and started using it. I deleted the app thinking that was the problem, but I'm still having it. I deleted most of my apps and all home replacements. It is still doing it. It looks as if something is trying to load before it goes into my messaging app. Please help! I'm not sure if it was the Ultimate Faves Pro or a notification app.
Try the Full Factory Reload....
You can erase all DATA by going to MENU>SETTINGS>SD&PHONE STOARGE>FACTORY DATA RESET
This will return the phone to its "Out-of-the-BOX" condition when new.
I had my Asus since Wed and everything was good. Last night I decided for the first time completely turn it off for the night. This morning I hit the power button and it will not boot up to the OS. It right stuck at Asus welcome screen. I try several times and its still hangs at the welcome screen. I had no issues with the update from last week (the one where others were bricking their tablet) Last night it had 50% battery life. Any suggestions?
Anyone? I try the recovery mode and it goes into recovery all I get is the little green android robot with triangle....and after five minutes it reboot by itself and then get stuck at the Asus welcome screen
How long in minuted do you let it sit at the Asus screen and did you have a notice about an update?

Its been sitting at the welcome screen for the last ten minutes. I am able to turn it off and on..but it does not get past the welcome screen. I did that update (which bricking others tablet) two days ago and everything went fine.....Last night was the first time I completely turned it off..and now this.... I dont know what else to do....I try the recovery mode several time and after five minutes it reboot on its own and then goes back to the welcome screen and sits there...... The only thing that works is the sleep mode for the screen. every 5 minutes screen turn off (sleep mode) Asus support suggest I let the battery drain and then try again.....this completely sucks.
You tried the force power off 10-12secs power button trick yet?

I went back and read up on the bricking thread...and instead of trying to go into the recovery mode I did a data wipe and now it working (VOL UP after the prompt) .....I am new to this android thing but just wondering how could this happen? I did install some new softwares yesterday could that have cause this issue? Any way thanks guys for your help
It's pretty rare for an app to make a device need a full reset nowadays, but it can still happen. It's more likely you had some OS bug though to be honest. If your transformer gets into difficulties in the future then try the force power off method as it seems to right quite a few wrongs. Anyways glad you got it working again.
To me it sounds like the update was still actually stored in your memory and ran itself again which is why you saw the android screen with progress bar. Looks like you clearing data got rid of the update file.

I have no idea what happen. Couple of days ago I did drain the battery and it after charging it up it did boot up fine.
This just happened to me......and now my transformer isn't wanting to boot up using volume up+power.
Doh, volume DOWN + power lol. Wiping data, hopefully it fixes it. Hassle though. Gonna have to redownload a bunch of apps now ugh.
Happen again....and it looks like VTL Launcher.1.6.2 is the software that is causing it to not boot up correctly. This is the same app I installed Sat. night and come Sunday after a shutdown it will not boot up. Tried it again today, and its not booting up.....ahhhh
What is this hard boot up you guys talking about? I held onto the power button for 5-6 seconds and I got the Asus EEE pad screen and then get the welcome screen and it just stays there. ahh looks like I have to wipe out the tablet again..not cool at all....... btw after installing VTL Launcher I also set it to default could this be the cause of it not booting up?
Same issue here...
So, I am getting the same problem here...
Wipe works and then it loads the rest of the way, but I cant get it to load without a full wipe.
I do have VTL installed, so that may be the case. I cant imagine that doing it though.
Anyone else have any more information on this?
Thanks!

Yeah my advice dont use VTL.... IF VTL is set as default launcher and if you try to reboot it will get stuck at the welcome screen. The issue is VTL. I am using ADW right now and the issue is gone.

Gotcha... VERY good to know. Do you have any idea if the problem persists when VTL isnt the default launcher but is still installed?

If you dont select VTL as a default launcher then you shouldnt have no issues rebooting your TF even if its installled. Its just annoying cause every time I hit the home button the system ask me which launcher do I want to use. So if you want to use VTL as default then make sure you dont reboot. If you need to reboot then remove VTL as default before rebooting your TF

sounds plausable - i had a similar problem on my HTC Desire with early releases of SPB Mobile Shell. Fine until reboot and then just looped. luckily i had a nadroid i could recover to.
My advice is always keep at least one backup on your device
Fixed: stuck booting when VTL is set as the default launcher.
Yikes found this thread, Why would ASUS make the default launcher so tightly coupled???
Edit: heres the easy fix using adb to uninstall vtl launcher
Install java/adb
plug in your transformer to your PC using the propritary dock->usb cable. Your transformer should be at the ASUS loading page (stuck indefinitely)
install the usb/adb driver. On windows 7 this was automatically downloaded and installed from windows update. size=8.5MB
open a "cmd" window, run this command: "adb devices"
This is what I get and it verifies that adb is talking to the transformer.
Code:
C:\Users\meeeeee>adb devices
List of devices attached
37c624540e14597 device
run this command at the cmd prompt to uninstall VTL launcher. Root not needed, usb debugging needs to be turned on.
Code:
adb uninstall com.vtlab.launcher
you should see a "success message"
Look at your transformer it should be at the login screen.

Hmm - maybe we should pay attention to the description of the application....

you'll have to be in Recovery and remove the launcher apk and then reboot.... or wipe data....
