So i no to take a screenshot you hold power button and home at the same time, then release I've done this before multiple of times. Well today when i try to take a screenshot I get a notification saying (unable to capture screen, try again) every single time. Tried just waiting it out, reboot. Don't no what else to try.
Last night I flashed clockwork mod for the first time, and made a backup. Could this be causing this issue?
I took a screenshot yesterday, haven't removed any more bloatware then I already had since last SS. The recovery is the only thing I can think of.
If anyone can help it will be greatly appreciated and thanked properly

Hi there! I'm running a 'vanila' ICS 4.0.4 Nexus S. After the last reboot i'm having multiple pop-ups about applications that were forced to stop. Literally all system apps (Contacts, Messaging, Market etc), Google apps were forced to close. Phone doesn't rings and so on.
Most sad fact is that i can't even manage to install any program for backing up the phone and make a factory reset.
What can I do now?
Any help is much appreciated
Thanks in advance

try this first: go to cwm, choose fix permissions, and see if it works. if not, you can do this: do a nandroid backup with cwm, then, factory reset everything. cache, data EVERYTHING. install any rom of your choice, then, download the titanium backup app, and you can extract app and data from the nandroid backup using titanium. never tested this my self since i backup everything before flashing and clear all data, so app crashes.
hope this helps and please hit the thanks button of you find this helpful!
Thanks for the tip, but i doubt i can do that since i can't install a thing, even appInstaller crashes for me

why do you want to install any apps before fixing it??? do you have a custom recovery?
no, i run a clean version of ICS, i haven't even rooted my phone.
i need to install a cwm app which you offer me as a fix

Oh, I see. You must have installed the update from 2.3 without wiping. Or something like that. Based on my knowledge, the best things you can do are:
1. Wipe/factory reset then reboot.
Or
Root your phone. Which wipes everything including the SD card partition. You can back up the SD card easy. I suggest the latter. So you can flash custom recovery images and do lots more than 'clean' ICS. One more thing, unrooted and unmodified is technically called stock. You will see this word a lot of times. Hope this helps.

I had similar conditions, I thought it was kernel/rom problem. and now it seems not!
I fix it this way: go into CWM recovery, backup, and then immediately restore. and the problem is gone. I know it sounds crazy, but it really works for me... every time.

And also, try clear data of the apps that had been crashing, go to its app info and click clear data. See if this solves the problem.

ok guys, thanks for the help. but i'm thinking of the other way around
can i copy stock ICS 4.0.4 fw file on to internal storage and try to update the phone from HBOOT menu (the one called up with holding 'volume up' key)?
the thing is i have some info on the phone such as sms that i'd like to keep
or perhaps copy whole 'content' of the storage to my pc and move sms base or whatever back after factory reset?
is there a way to access internal storage while in HBOOT menu, cos in the loaded up state i can't copy fw file due to crashing system apps?

You may try backing up SMS with GoSMS to SD-card

I suspect the SMS are stored in the system partition... Google it. If it is, again, you need root to access those files.

First a BIG THANK YOU, FJ for the great job.
I have some problems with a build from 16.07.2012
First i can not move app to SD. I can move only 5-6 apps, and no more, so after i installed 10 apps my storage was going to full. /Sorry about my bad english/
I have tried to install Link2SD, but it says Link2sd is updating and did not have icon of it. I lost my PlayStore and have to reinstall the build. After that it was the same problem with a Link2SD and moving apps. My second partition is FAT 32, because the previous build and Link2SD did not work with ext partitions. I see that the second partition after moving 2-3 apps is empty.
When i click on Manage Apps it is closing and nothing happen. After 4-5 times of clicking it is opening.
The Cam is working well, Camcorder too.
I have a problem with a virtual keyboard. It shows for a while and is hidding.
I have tried many ways but still can not flash it. I am an amateur. but I can not ask in the official topic. My posts are not enough.
Can you give me detailed instructions please?

You must have OpenRecovery installed.
Just download the build and gapps. Copy in the Updates folder of OpenRecovery. Go into Recovery mode
Apply Update, search for the file that u have copied.
After Update do 3 Wipes
after that install gapps
Did you find any solution for missing apps problem?
I tried this build couple of times. Its pretty great. Sync with Google-account didnt work but biggest problem was that app thingie.
Everytime i rebooted the phone,(or it rebooted itself) after the CM9 booloader logo a box appears saying: "Updating Android. Optimizing apps xx/80".
When the phone finally starts, ALL my installed apps have vanished. Every time. And the are installed in the phone, not on sd.
Is this a common problem?

The build is great. Google account sync works by me, but the problem with apps still persist. I have tried a couple of gapps but is the same.
I'm waiting for the new builds or for JB )

Yes it is! Beautiful and fast.. Well, loading of the main screen took 4-5seconds when sim-card was in the phone.
Except that, build was faster than Froyo I used. Hope it gets fixed soon.
Is the smoothness of this rom,the same as froyo??..i mean is it stable enough??..
Question for CM9

Hi,
After installing today the new google camera app from play store I noticed that it does not show as installed on play store but it was. So I decided to run uninstall all updates of the camera app with the settings. After the next reboot my phone showed me that I have to sign in to my google account (like on the first boot), so I did it. I checked the accounts on the settings menu and noticed that all accounts was cleared even my wifi settings. Now I wanted to delete this buggy camera app and restore it with a zip file, so I booted into recovery and noticed that cwm can't mount E (my SD Card).
It is the first time something like this happened to me. Do I have to be worried about my phone?
Phone details:
Nexus 5 with root with unlocked boot loader
Cyanogen mod 11 m5

ok, then youre not as bad off as i was fearing. first, if you dont want the new camera app, go to the phones main settings, apps, find the camera app, open it and press uninstall update. the issue with your recovery is different, ive seen many people with that issue these past few weeks, honestly i dont know how its solved, but people have solved it. id go to the thread for your recovery and ask about it there.

My English is not the best, but (like I wrote in my first post) uninstalling the update caused this problem. Any idea how something like this is possible?

it didnt "cause" the problem, it was just coincidence. installing/uninstalling apps have nothing to do with the recovery, nothing. the "cwm can't mount E" is a very common issue though.

Hi,
After problems with insufficient memory on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S I decided to partition my SD Card using Link 2SD. Apart from the fact that it took 3 days to get my head around some of the more technical stuff I managed ok..and was pleased with myself when i finally had it all done on my phone with the 2 partitions.
I then used Link2SD to create links to my SD card for those apps that allowed it. However, after doing so, my phone came up with a message telling me that Facebook (kahuna?) app was broken and not responding (sorry, I can't remember the exact message now) I waited, rebooted and tried again but still not working so went back to Link2SD to remove link for this that I had previously created. (Figuring this would put it back to before i moved it) Rebooted phone and now Facebook, Google Play etc have all gone off my phone menu. They were still there as available apps, but when trying to launch them from Link2SD the message displayed that these apps had been removed. I then managed to uninstall the apps that were causing the problem, rebooted and tried to do fresh install of them. However, when going to Google Play via my p.c I am told these are already on my device!?! I cannot find them anywhere on my device at all
I hope I have explained this well enough for someone to offer help as to how to get Facebook and Google Play back on to my phone. Everything else seems to be working ok, it's just these two apps that seem to have gone awol.
To clarify, I just need to know if there is a way to get Facebook and Google Play back

have you rooted your device before using link2sd...?
see this application requires root permissions to work properly...
secondly..it depends on by which method yu have partitioned your sd card...

Thank you for replying. Yes, I did root the phone before starting, and confirmed this was active by making sure the superuser app was on phone. To partition the SD card i used mini tool partition wizard.

OK, Thank you. Though, repeating the process again won't bring back Facebook, GMail & Google Play Store etc, will it? Which, is really all I need to do now. I did follow proper guides when doing all this, I researched it for 3 days solid making sure I knew everything i could before beginning something like this and followed it all to the letter so really am stumped as to what went wrong. Everything else worked ok when linking to sd card via Link2sd...it's just Facebook, Gmail & Google Play Store that have somehow been corrupted.
Thank you anyway, though, I appreciate your advice. I'll keep trying:fingers-crossed:

Like you I also installed Link2Sd on both my tablets and phones and they have never been the same since. Constant FC on anything that the app touched. I've sent repeated emails to the developer that have went unanswered and also posted in his thread. I fear your going to have to wipe and reload. I did that with a spare phone and it was back 100%. Hate to have to do the others as no matter what type of backup I use I always end up loosing something

That's just it, I can't download them, and as I said at start, really and truly that is my issue.
Link2sd has corrupted them to the point where the phone doesn't recognise them as being installed anymore, but google play etc will not let me re-download them as they say my device already has them on. That is the problem i'm having. The apps are there but not there!
