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.

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?
I've installed Cyanogenmod 7 today on my Motorola Defy. It works nice, but I cannot install any apps from the market. They start downloading, but immediatly stop and it briefly says 'download failure'.
I've been looking into this and it appears it could be a problem with the cache space.
What I've tried so far:
- Wiping cache from market, download manager..
- Wiping cache partition in boot menu
- I've also tried creating a cache on the sd card in terminal emulator. I have found a command on the internet that should work, but when I start it states 'mkdir: no permission to create directory'..
I'm really tired of looking into this now, I hope anyone knows a fix for this. Thanks!
I had the same issue occur on my DeFroST HTC Desire.
I've tried wiping marked cache and what not -- didn't work.
BUT -- the next day it for some reason started to work and worked without issue since. Maybe the problem wasn't actually on my end -- maybe in your case it is the same -- see if waiting a day helps?
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.
Hi everyone,
I have been using my nexus 5 since 4-5 days now and everything was working fine till last night when whatsapp started giving me errors (unfortunately app has been closed). I uninstalled whatsapp and when I am trying to re install it, its now giving me error "unknown error code on application install -24"
I have tried installing via apk, playstore's website, cleared the cache and data of playstore app, rebooted phone but nothing works.
I am hesitant to root my nexus 5 as there is no official recovery available and people are having issues when rooting the device and I cannot afford to have an unstable phone. Hard reset is an option but I would like to avoid it if possible. I have read that if I delete the related whatsapp folder from data/data folder somehow then it will fix the issue. Is there any way I could access and delete that folder without being rooted or if someone has any other solution to my problem.
Any help is much appreciated

Same thing happened to me, Did you enable ART? Because that's what caused my errors (force closing). After switching back to Dalvik and trying to re-install, i was getting -24 error on the play store. I rebooted a few times and left it for a few hours. Tried again and it worked.
Whatsapp is i believe in-compatible with ART.

Okay, As for as i know, it did fix itself when i rebooted a few times and after a while it just worked.
Things i also tried that might have helped. Clear cache for the playstore which you tried. i would do this again after you switched back to Dalvik. and make sure whatsapp is uninstalled before switching to Dalvik. Once you switch back and have cleared cache from the playstore, try to re-install Whatsapp.
As for the backup, on your phone is a whatsapp folder that has a backup of your messages and photos etc. When you re-install whatsapp it'll pick that up and restore your stuff. There is no need to delete that folder.
I Hope that fixes it for you.

Right so far thats what i did, and thats exactly what happened to me. I just left it for a few hours and tried again it worked. Just give it a few hours and re-try / reboot and re-try.
It didnt work. I had to factory reset my phone eventually and wasted my evening doing all the restores, I wish Android had a seamless backup system something like that of Apple's. Helium/Titanium/mybackup, all of them have some kind of flaws

I am not rooted at the moment so TB wasnt really an option. Helium works fine only for apps and their data but I am looking for something that can restore my phone exactly how it was before the reset including home screens, settings etc without being rooted.

That what you are looking for would be a nandroid backup made in a custom recovery, that restores everything. But not possible without root.
Hi,
I have the same problem. Error -24 if I want to install Whatsapp from Google Play Store. Local installation after downloading the APK from Whatsapp gives also an error (app not installed).
Tried several times to delete the cache and setting of the Play Store app and the Google Framework. Followed by restarts of the phone. Until now I was NOT succesful.
As far as I read on other forums, the problem is, that in data/data/ already exists a Whatsapp-directory and therefore Whatsapp doesn't want to install. You could delete this directory, but only if you are rooted. I avoided this step until now, because it's a new phone with warranty and after rooting, all data ist wiped.
I also tried adb to delete this directory, but same effect. Because the phone is not rooted, I can't remove this directory by remote shell.
Is there no way to clean up such remains WITHOUT root?
Greets,

Yes, this is a straight-forward fail - I am running a CM13-based ROM and flashed a nightly build (has been redrawn meanwhile) onto my N5 without backing up first. Right after the first reboot, I received a "Play Services has stopped working" error message and this keeps appearing all the time. Additionally, the Google Now Launcher has disappeared from my launcher list - and of course, all the Play Services-dependent features don't work, i.e. Chrome, Contacts sync, Play Store and so on. So, my phone basically is useless.
I suspect all the problems arise from the non-working Play Services. I managed to uninstall them after deactivating the Android Device Manager and re-installed the latest version, but this didn't fix the problem. Is there anything else I can try? Or is there no way around a complete wipe?
have u flashed Gapps?
Tried it, but didn't help either. I'll just go for a full wipe now. But thank you for answering!

try clearing Cache and dalvik cache and then delete the host file from "etc" folder!
I should've tried deleting the host file. Wiping Dalvik and Cache didn't work before...
Anyway, I took the opportunity, put my 32GB mainboard in and set up everything from scratch.
Are you using amplify?
No, I didn't use that.
