Hi,
I backed up my phone with Titanium and after updating to 4.0.3 tried to restore data only, from that moment - messaging force closing.
what can I do ?
thanks
Clear any messaging related data, reboot, and then see what happens.
Thanks but it's the same - the app loads and than crashes immediately,
Can I re-download the apk somewhere ?
I know it's core element - but maybe it can be extracted from the whole update ?
Well just to reiterate make sure you wipe all relevant system apps in titanium as that should do it (just want to be sure ).
But you could reflash the rom again, or part of the rom.
And yes you could pull the apps from the rom and install them without reflashing (though you will have to use titanium to make it a system app probably).
Oh yeah you could try wiping the dalvik cache.
tried wiping the dalvik cache did not help. how can I flash only the messaging app ?

Well I haven't done such a thing for a while but when I did a similar thing I did it like this:
1. Get full rom zip
2. Open zip with 7-Zip (or similar program).
3. Delete anything you don't want to be flashed again (I guess in your case nearly everything)
4. Flash
Note: I said open the zip, not extract it.
Can't guarantee this will work though I would personally just do a full wipe, flash the whole rom again, and be careful what you restore (i.e. don't restore system data).
Never use Ti to restore data after changing roms. It's the first rule of Flash Club.
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.
hi
Ive just installed Cleanrom, and it seems slower than the stock rom i used before.
I wonder if i should have done a system format in cwm, as doing this for Slimbean on my SGS helped quite a bit...
thanks

Format system is when you delete your ROM, if you want a clean install, yeah you should format system. This also depends on what ROM you want to flash. If you're going to flash stock, format system is good. I do it all the time when I flash stock
But I can also do it whatever the rom, right ? I mean if I upgrade from Cleanrom from 3.03 to 3.04, I cannot go wrong doing that ? (although they don't talk about formatting system in the guidelines).
Thank you

format system basically deletes all your system apps, which really isn't worth to do in an update from v3.0.3 to 3.0.4 - if it's a big update with many more apps included maybe it's worth, but otherways it's waste of time...

System app? When I use twrp it said wipe system removes ROM, I guess on cwm is called format system.
Well, I guess "format system" should format system (=wipe the os i guess), not remove apps...

Guess so, I guess its no problem to overwrite CWM with TWRP (as long as I load the right version, that is, JB as im on Cleanrom Inheritance 2.7.2)...
Format system on twrp and cwm means the same thing.
When you flash any ROM, all it does is place everything in the /system partition, and sometimes a kernel is also flashed.. this partition contains all files that make up android. All the apps that come with roms, all mods, themes, framework.. everything is here.
When /system is wiped, it deletes all these files to make way for a new rom. Most roms wipe system automatically when they get flashed anyway :good:
However, I think that cleanrom 3.0.3 is a dependancy for 3.0.4, this means that 3.0.4 requires the 3.0.3 system files to work properly. Check the cleanrom changelog or install instructions

I'm sorry, I was thinking of /system/app lol
I think the updates should rule that themselves that they delete the unnecessary things of an old version, so it's only recommended if you change your ROM or update to a ROM based on a later Android Version (4.1 to 4.2 or vice versa) or from AOSP to stock...
Otherwise it's just waste of time I think, I never used it and never had problems, so I think it's pretty good ruled in the updater scripts of the ROMs
Hi, to update CM10.1 R0.2 to CM10.1 R4 it's raccomended to download rom, make full wype and install or i have the possibility to update without full wipe...like a easy way similar OTA?
Thanks guys!!!( sorry for my no perfect english)
if you don't want to wipe everything. make a nandroid backup. wipe cache and dalvik then install update. if something goes wrong you can always go back to your backup and then do another clean install

ok....thanks! i was thinking that, if i use ALL2SD to move all apps into SD and then i install new version with full wipe.
I think is the best way to do all quickly, in this way (i think) i will not have to expend much time after install new rom version.
You think it's a good way to operate?

No, they would still have to be reinstalled, use titanium backup to backup your apps, it will reinstall then onto your new Rom easily, only restore user apps though system apps will cause problems

You can make An update zip with All your apps, it's actually easier to make an update zip with just titanium in it and then batch restore your apps and data afterwards

Hi all,
I did this mostly for practice but I thought it might be helpful so I went ahead and posted.
Stock LG D850 20f ROM
[*]Rooted/SuperSu
[*]Most bloat removed
[*]Oversharpening fix
[*]Flashable zip
[*]init.d support*
[*]CarrierIQ Remover*
*Init.d support is implemented in ROM only, not the kernel. CarrierIQ is removed automatically after first boot via an init script. Say thanks to @skeevydude for his help in getting this done. I shouldn't say "help", he pretty much did it!
Installation
Flash the Lollipop modem - see @autoprime 's thread here for modem zip
Flash the ROM zip
Wipe cache and dalvik (and in some cases data) if coming from a different ROM
Download
v3* - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934548695
[QRCODE]https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934548695[/QRCODE]
*No change at all to the ROM itself since v2, I just realized that I've been forgetting to zero out the free space on the image file before uploading, which saves about 600 MB when zipped. New flashable zip is about 1.1 GB instead of 1.7 GB.
Older versions:

ATT Apps
In case you want some of the ATT apps back, I have uploaded a zip here with those apps. This is NOT a flashable zip. You have a couple of options:
1. You may be able to install these as a normal (user) app by just pulling out the apk and installing the usual way.
2. If that doesn't work as expected, copy the app folder from the zip into the appropriate system folder as listed in the "Apps Removed" section.

Xposed Info
cmulk said:
Xposed has a couple of bad side effects at this point, so before doing anything you need to use Titanium or something similar to Freeze (this basically what the "helper" does):
LGSmartCover
Weather
Weather Theme
WeatherPlatform
Then you can install xposed as in the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
However, there is still one more bug to keep in mind: Xposed will crash the Tethering and Networks menu. There is no fix for that yet, but as a workaround you can download some apps from the play store (like Mobile Network Settings), to shortcut around the menu that force closes.

CarrierIQ Removal
CarrierIQ has now been removed!
The removal is done via an init script that runs at boot to disable the IQ service before removing the files in order to prevent a force close. However, if you have to wipe data/factory reset without re-flashing the ROM, you will get a force close on the first boot. The good news is that I've tested this scenario and it should fix itself if you just wait about 20 seconds. In other words, the mentioned script does it's thing to stop the service to fix the force close and you are good to go after that.
Old info below:
cmulk said:
On the 20f lollipop rom (either mine or stock, there's no difference) either freezing LADDM or removing the libraries and LADDM as you mention will cause a force close unless you disable the "IQService" first, which is built into the framework-res.apk. I have repeated it multiple times and it has been discussed quite a bit in the Lounge and other threads. Disabling the service is easy for users to do with the "DisableService" app, and then you can remove LADDM and the libraries as mentioned. The difficulty is that disabling a service is a user setting, so, for example, if I reflash my ROM without the IQ files onto a phone with clean /data, I will again get the force close and an unusable ROM.

Manual Steps
In the meantime, here is how users can manually disable CarrierIQ. I take no credit for this method, it is posted in several places by several people, I'm just putting it here for convenience:
YOU MUST DO THIS IN ORDER (or at least the first few steps)
1. Download the "DisableService" app from the play store
2. In the DisableService app, go to System -> Android System and disable the "IQService" service
3. Use a root explorer to delete the folder /system/app/LADDM
4. Use a root explorer to delete /system/lib/libiq_client.so and /system/lib/libiq_service.so
5. (Optional) Uninstall DisableService
Remember, disabling the service is a user setting, so if you need to wipe /data for some reason, you will need to re-flash the ROM (which has the CarrierIQ files included) or else you will get a constant force close when your phone boots.
I'll give it a try, thanks
Flashing now. Will report.
I will be watching this ROM. Thanks for posting.
Exactly what does " if coming from a different ROM" mean? I'm on 4.4.2 10f Wulf (stock - rooted) ROM

Just clean flash to save yourself a hassle

Thanks for your work. I wish I had some skill in this realm. It'd be nice to pick and choose which apps you wanted removed. I prefer the stock ATT Visual Voicemail app over the one in the Play Store as its more reliable. I also use some of the Google Apps that are removed here as well. But great job in getting something debloated out there.

Flashing lollipop Issues
Thanks for your work.... When flashing the 2 lollipop roms, 9 out of 10 times I get just a screen with icons, no wallpaper, no notification pull down no buttons at the bottom. I flash the modem the rom then SU and clear cache. I have only got the other ROM to flash successfully once. The same is going on with this ROM, is this happening to anyone else. I flashed it 5 times with the same results, would anyone know why this is happening, seems others dont have this issue. Thank you again for bringing us a debloated Lollipop rom.

Here is what I understand for a clean flash:
"1. Boot into Recovery
2. Make a Nandroid backup
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Wipe cache partition
5. Wipe Dalvik Cache
6. Flash ROM
7. DO NOT REBOOT – STAY IN RECOVERY
8. Select backup and restore
9. Select advanced restore
10. Select the Nandroid backup you made above
11. Select Restore data
12. Select Yes – Restore data
13. WAIT!
14. REBOOT"
What I do not understand is step 8, which selects the backup made in step two... and then flashing the backup over the (new) ROM flash in step 6. Wouldn't that overwrite the new ROM you just flashed?

I have not seen that issue, but in case you are not clearing data you may need to try clearing dalvik cache.
Also, (and this is just a shot in the dark) you could try formatting system before doing anything else just in case something strange is left behind there.

You can try dirty flashing first without losing any of your data.
1. Back up your current Boot and System
2. Back up your current modem (if you're coming from the Kitkat modem), or just download a flashable KK modem already posted on XDA
3. Flash the modem and ROM in this post
4. Wipe cache and dalvik
5. See if it works
If it's not working, then you will need to restore your boot, system, and modem to go back to your original kitkat setup without losing data.
Otherwise, you'll have to backup with Titanium and do a clean flash (wipe data) as already mentioned. Using Titanium makes clean flashing not so bad
I do clear Wipe cache and dalvik I wipe everything and it boots back into a desktop and thats it no notification, the same thing happened with the first lollipop.. but after 10 flashes it finally took... so I thought Id try your de-bloated and the same thing is happening again, not sure why this is. I can jump back to kk after flashing the modem without issues. Thank you again for your work.

I agree that I use most or all of these Google apps as well. However, they update so often anyway that I prefer to just have them as user apps (otherwise you end up with 2 copies - the old static version in the system apps folder, and the updated version in the user apps folder).
As for the visual voicemail, I have posted the ATT apps in a zip in the OP. Visual voicemail is in the VVM_ATT folder.
Thanks!

Sure thing! That's actually what I meant to do in post 13. I am not sure if you can flash over 10f without wiping data, but you could give it a try without losing anything (except time) if you look at post 13.
You should clear cache and dalvik mostly any time you are flashing, unless you are just flashing over another stock 20f ROM.

Thanks I do clear everything but my external mem.
Ever since flashing this I'm getting "no sd card" messages every time I try to download anything ( I don't have an external sd card) but it's never been a problem before. I've restored a backup of my stock Tim and the problem followed me after full wipes.
