Taking some advice I saw on the BAW forum one step further, I deleted the entire /data/boot-cache directory (after doing a nandroid backup of course).
Took about 3-4 extra minutes to boot up, presumably to recreate the contents of the directory, but now all of my apps are showing the correct version, correct icon, and correct name. Haven't run into any issues yet.
I didn't want to suggest this just in case something else would mess up. If you have a lot of bad apps this is perhaps faster than deleting each one.

Hey there you are! Hah.
I did have a lot of bad apps and had some trouble finding the proper directories for a few. I had just done a backup so I thought I'd give it a try.
I also figured this was the perfect place to suggest it for people to try - around here people are smart enough to do real backups before they start deleting things
Is this with just rooting the phone or after you install the custom rom?

I haven't touched the custom ROM yet. You do need to root the phone to do this, and it must be done from a shell.

It should, yes. I had a bunch of apps misnamed in that way (EasyMoney, Spades, a few others) and it fixed them.
One of them, Buka Lite, reverted back, though.
I tried this out and all the programs I'd been having issues with were fixed. I rebooted. Still fixed.
But then I installed three updates and after reboot, the same issue came back again. There must be another cache store somewhere...maybe Android Market related, or at least the Android package manager. Either way, I guess some more digging is in order.

I think there's just a bug with the way the phone handles the cache. Did the versions go back to what they were before you deleted the cache, or what they were after you deleted the cache and before you updated the apps?
Looks like the versions didn't revert. Last night, I used aTrackDog to send myself a list of all my apps. I can't remember the three that I updated today, but the two I do remember, Flixster Movies and Handcent did not revert.
Lastnight:
Movies,2.0.1
Handcent Sms,2.9.12
Now:
Movies,2.1.0
Handcent Sms,2.9.13
Well, I decided to remove Dolphin browser since I noticed it kept opening up and running in the background (active, at least that's what Taskiller says). Of course, the next reboot caused all the icons to get messed up again.
So, I thought to look for other cache directories. Does anyone think that deleting /data/dalvik-cache in addition to the /data/boot-cache directory might help? Is it safe to try it out? I'm assuming it'll just get repopulated automatically.

After you install any updates you will have to continue to remove the /data/boot-cache version until HTC/Sprint fixes the bug.

Would uninstalling the original, then installing the newest version alleviate the issue? As opposed to just update the app...

Damn. It sounded good in theory.
I had this issue with Google Sky Maps and it worked to let me back in. What was displaying after a day or so renamed itself to 'End User License Agreement' and wouldn't let me get past the EULA screen, only offering the option to force close.
The only caveat is that now Sky Maps is still named 'End User License Agreement', but it at least let's me in.
Odd
I tried removing both boot-cache and dalvik-cache. Didn't make any difference...eventually, the errors return if/when you update or install an app.
this must be a bug with the hero. i had the Moment and no apps renamed themselves at all. reset after reset the apps were fine. i reset my hero once and it messes up the apps
Doh! Doesn't seem like there's any easy perm fix in sight... hope it doesn't happen w/ 2.0 and Sense...
Hello,
I'm hoping someone can help me troubleshoot an issue I'm having with my TF700T taking a long time to load (but is working well in all other respects).
I'm running bootloader 10.6.1.14.10, TWRP 2.8.0.1, CrombiKK, and have just done a fresh clean wipe (from TWRP, I selected wipe, factory reset (didn't do an advanced wipe or format data).
When I first booted up with minimal apps, the device booted up in 2:18 minutes (1:18 system, 1:00 other items).
However, now that I've restored apps using TiBu (restored missing apps with data, exclude system apks), it's taking a long time to boot the device (10:49, system 9:49, startup items 1:00), and I haven't even activated xposed yet, which is mandatory in my view
I've reverted to the old Android ID when TiBu asks me whether I'd like to revert to an old version. This seems to have worked because some apps (such as Viber) don't require me to enter new details. Others (such as Dropbox) force me to enter my login details again, not sure why.
Can anyone suggest what may be causing the issue? Have included the latest logcat with this post.

No, it only takes a little over two minutes before restoring the apps, something to do with the restore process is giving me grief. However, I didn't think the amount of apps I had was excessive (I have way more on my phone), and I've been careful not to restore system apps etc.
You first boot times seem normal.
So factory reset again
restore a few apps in TiBu
Reboot and check
restore a few more
reboot and check
etc
Yes, sounds like a good approach. I was hoping someone could suggest certain apps that are known to cause this sort of issue based on the logs, but it sounds like trial and error is the best way to determine the issue I'll report back once I've worked it out...

Have spent several frustrating days, and I don't feel much closer to resolving the issue. Been progressively installing apps from clean install and thought the problem was the XPosed module XPrivacy (because initially when I enabled/disabled it, the system start time alternated between about 2 minutes and 8 minutes). However, even after removing this module, the system time has jumped back up and even doing a nandroid restore to the previous known 'stable state' still results in a long startup time. The timing even seems a bit random/unstable.
I've also tried other things, like using the permissions manager to rebuild permissions (ie typing "for app in *.apk; do pm install -r $app; done" in /data/app), but this actually uninstalled a heap of apps!
Unless anyone has any ideas, it looks like I'm stuck with an unstable boot process. I guess I should be thankful that once booted things are pretty smooth.

Sorry, I hadn't included logcats because it seemed to cloud the issue. Not sure what you mean by "do they match", but certainly the logcats are showing some consistent messages that seem problematic.
However, these occur even after a fresh install even when bootup times are OK. For example, in the bundle of logcats attached, 2014-11-04-14-57-55-fresh-install-2.32.txt is a logcat for a fresh install where the system bootup (not apps) was about 2 and a half minutes, but it still contains lots of things that don't look great to my untrained eye:
Failed on audit_set_pid with error: Protocol not supported

Not sure if you had a chance to look at the logs? I'm also wondering if Odexing the ROM will help? I've read that it will break theme-ability, does this extend to things like the XPosed framework?

That's because I disabled SELinux in my kernel, should not lead to bad performance, just annoying lines in the log.

No. After dalvik-cache has been built there is no performance difference at all.
You could try running fstrim (aka Lagfix) or format /data in TWRP.

These are good ideas, I've already tried both those approaches. I'm at a loss to explain why bootup takes about 8 minutes on average
Just clocked an incredible 28:40 system boot up, anyone have any suggestions for resolving based on the attached logcat? I'm running lag fix on all partitions on a nightly basis, but this may in fact be hindering.

Have disabled and the startup time has increased to 45 minutes. Not really sure how it's possible to take so long? Logcat attached if this helps.
I'm guessing you did a clean wipe and have reflashed the rom again? I don't know if you tried f2fs but that shortened my boot time to less than a minute.

I've done plenty of clean wipes but when I rebuild it usually results in a long bootup time. I'm going to do another clean wipe and reflash. Thanks for the tip re f2fs, haven't used it before but I see that TWRP supports it and so does Crombi-KK. Did you convert all partitions to f2fs or were you selective about which partitions to convert? I'm tempted to convert all of them across.
I' m running zombie right now but I think both of them only support data f2fs. Yeah with twrp its pretty easy to just format the data partition and then reboot.
BTW did you see that post about an xposed module for long boot times?

OK, I guess I'll restrict to just the data partition then. Shame, because the bootup delays seem to be system related, so I thought converting the /system partition would provide the most benefit.
Not sure exactly which post you're referring to for an xposed module for long boot times. I'm using BootManager etc, is that what you mean or something else?
From the crombi-kk thread:
"For those of you suffering long boot times, You may want to check out this xPosed module

Thanks, I had actually seen that recently and applied to my phone, but ironically the woeful startup has prevented me from applying to the tablet. Am rebuilding now after applying F2FS to the data partition, hopefully applying the media scan optimiser will help reduce bootup times.
Alright guys I'm about to blow my top off here. The most recent Link2SD update completely messed up my entire phone.
For reference, I'm currently running an LG G3 D851 4.4.2, stock ROM and rooted. Everything was fine until recently when I started noticing a Play Store update app error "-110".
Not knowing what it was, I investigated, and found that my entire group of app installations have been completely screwed up.
1) First off, I can't install ANYTHING. No app, no nothing. I need to probably install an updated Link2SD to fix this nonsense...right? Can anyone direct me to how I would install the apk using ADB?
2) My mount script is broken and it's not working. It tells me "Mount script cannot be created. mount: Unknown error 150". As a result, my SD 2nd partition remains unmounted....which I think is the source of this entire problem.
3) Viewing my internal storage through DiskUsage, I've discovered that every single app I used to have installed has been "merged" into a single folder simply called "System data". Referenced through this photo here: http://i.imgur.com/ksukQGG.png . Instead of showing the individual folders, e.g.: Google Translate, Pocketcasts, etc, it just shows that big anonymous block of "System Data".
4) If I go to Settings -> Apps. Every single app shows up with "0.00b" as their app size.
HELPPPPP PLEASEEEE I will seriously monetarily tip someone if they can provide me with a solution to this.

Thank you so much for the detailed response. Unfortunately though, it looks like I already have the most recent version installed, 4.0.9? Would this solve anything by basically reinstalling it? I was hoping there would be like a 4.1 version that would fix the issue or revert changes or something.
Update:
Tried installing an app through ADB and it now shows me this:
WARNING: linker: app_process has text relocations. This is wasting memory and is a security risk. Please fix.

Any idea anybody? Like before, I'd be willing to donate to anybody who can provide me with the solution. Thanks!

I can uninstall apps, but I can't install or update anything. That's why I was trying to install through adb instead, which unfortunately still doesn't work. When I open up Link2SD, it doesn't give me an option to reload, it only gives me the option to "Recreate mount scripts". If I click on it, it gives me the mount script error - "Mount script cannot be created. mount: Unknown error 150."

Is there any really important data on your installed apps? If I was you I would simply reflash the firmware and start from scratch instead of spending hours to find a solution. The point is that you don't know what you changed that your phone became like this. I have send a email to the Link2SD developer but I'm not sure if he can provide a solution.

I'm actually backing up all my app data as I'm typing this. The only concern I have though, is that my phone is actually on the stock recovery. I only rooted it because I didn't want to deal with the potential for something like this to happen (which would suck up all my time, haha). As a result, I can't flash anything. So if I decide to stock factory reset, would that clean the /system /data, and everything else that needs to be cleaned for my phone to work properly again? I thought that root (and potentially whatever screwed my phone) persisted through a stock factory reset, which would make trying to do that pointless.

Well, I solved the mount problem by formatting my SD card. But that didn't fix anything else unfortunately.
I also noticed a couple interesting things:
1) Android and Link2SD show my data and cache for ALL apps to be 0.00b. I know that's not true because I went to the /data/data/app directories and found the data exists.
2) I can use all my apps normally with no problem. that means all the files are there, and can communicate correctly(?)
3) I still can't install any app at all.
Next course of action: Completely disable link2sd's boot script perhaps? So what would that entail, deleting install-recovery.sh from /system/etc/ ? Anything else, or would that be good enough?

the google and gmail apps are used for authenticating the user. remove those apps and you remove the OS's ability to recognize a user. from there, it will just crash because it basically doesnt know what to do with the holes in the code created by removing those apps

is that a question or statement?
if it is a question, i would advise not uninstalling anything that is included in your phone and google related for the most part. Of course you can remove hangouts, calendar, calculator, gallery blah blah blah, but its never a good idea to uninstall the email application that google uses for authentication on the phone itself.
from what you listed, if any one thing in that list caused your issue, its removing gmail

They're two totally different things. TWRP to root and install system stuff, tib for deleting and freezing apps

factory reset. also, delete the folder on the internal storage called "android". That folder contains app information and isnt formatted during a flash via TWRP or even in Odin. Itll cause app crashes left and right. Delete the folder from within the file manager in TWRP, reboot to download mode, flash whatever firmware youre wanting on it via Odin, let it boot, reboot to stock recovery, factory reset (at least once. i always do it 3 times, and no, im not kidding), reboot and it should be fine from there. The problem youre facing has been experienced by countless people over the years and phones. Ive seen issues VERY similar to this over the last 8+ years, and this is always the easiest fix for it

Did not know about the android folder, but it was solved with simple restart of the OS.

Do you know if the Samsung Connect app can be deleted?
Two applications are not working properly, due to root, they are: Healt and the safe folder, have any idea what to do?
You can remove apps without root using adb. I dont have any email app or google search on my s6 and no problems
Has anyone else tried backing up all the new "apps" with TB? I installed my wife's P3 (upgrade with flash-all minus -w) and have no issues at all except that media storage "app" will not backup. It never moves and even after 30 minutes of waiting crashes the system to the point of needing a reboot even if TB is force closed. All other new stuff backed up fine.

It gives me the same failure and I notice that it is mostly because of the root that app is handled with that I am waiting for the root to be able to use it in the betas if it could be rooted but in this version I am suffering the same as you

Not sure what you mean by "root that app is handled with." Canary Magisk is the only root that works on 11, and I wasn't even on the beta 11.

Of course, if in all the betas I even solved it, I already have root, a youtuber who is dedicated to pixels in all android betas made him root and today I root for pixel 3 and I have it

You mean the media storage app backed up? That is the only one failing for me. I just have to remember to unselect it.

Thank God for XDA.
I think the answer to why Titanium Backup can't backup Media Storage is in this article:
Storage updates in Android...
I just can't figure out where. LOL
Have a great day!

Not sure I understand your question, but if Media Storage is included in apps to be backed up you need to force close TB to even make the phone respond to much of anything since it is hung in the backup process that never completes. Either way, you need to reboot completely to function normally again.

Now I get your question. Fortunately, that has not happened to me. I have not had to reinstall or even clear cache/data in TB. The only thing I have done different is I've hit the home button that still responded (once I considered it frozen) and then opened TB in settings and force closed it before the reboot. Everything was fine after that.

No real steps. Just uncheck it from the list of "apps" that are checked when you go to batch actions-all/[run]backup new user+system apps & newer versions. Then execute the backup.

Done!
This happened to me too. No update yet for Titanium backup that fixes it.

I think this might cause some issues for Titanium backup:
If your app targets Android 11, it cannot access the files in any other app's data directory, even if the other app targets Android 8.1 (API level 27) or lower and has made the files in its data directory world-readable.

Is this issue fixed now, or not?
Can't run my backup, because it hangs @ Backup "Media Storage", how to fix it?
I use LineageOS 18.1 on my Samsung Galaxy S10+
Same here. Pixel 3 running latest update from March. Titanium freezes on Media Storage.
I get the same hang on Media Storage App on Pixel 4a (5G) with Magisk 22 stable.
Any workaround yet? Also, has anyone actually tested a backup and restore of an app? I read elsewhere that the restores are hit or miss.
I got the same problem here on a 1+9 Pro with stock (rooted) Android 11.
Titanium Backup Will always get stuck on Media Storage 11.
