Everything force closes. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Using Titanium backup I removed Voice command and installed s voice and started playing around with it working flawlessly. I went to market and started updating my apps (Just got the phone a few days ago) and tried to take a screenshot. I forgot what the command was (Power and home?) and I held power too long not knowing it's a force restart, and my phone well, restarted.... I turned it back on and it got stuck at the samsung loading bar screen and it hung with a small chunk left. Thinking something was wrong I rebooted into recover and wiped Cache. Phone booted fine but I couldn't reset my clock settings via No-frills. It said it stuck but I didn't see a change. Next thing I know everything was force closing including process.acore.
Restarted again and same thing, it got stuck at the loading bar, so this time I wiped cache and Dcache and it hung for a little, but finally finshed and rebooted, only this time it keeps saying "Unfortnately, Swype has stopped." and I can't switch keyboards.
Stock JB TouchWiz with root using TWRP. Pretty much barebones stock rom with a few safe apps disabled and the one Voice Command removed.
Help?

Which version of TWRP? 2.5.0, 2.4.4, etc. For me to get the JB roms working I had to use thederekjay's Darkside cache wipe after install. No problems since then. You can find his super wipe and cache wipe on the interwebs, he isn't hosting them on xda anymore.

2.4.4, I was unaware there was a more recent version.
This time I tried fixing permissions and still, swype is unresponsive and keeps crashing. Could you maybe link the cache wipe? My laptop is old as hell and would take me the rest of the day trying to just navigate away from this page.

I sent you a PM.

OMG TY SO MUCH. Idk if it was the wipe script or that I shut the phone off for a little bit, but it fixed my problem. TY TY TY TY TY. Thumbs up are totally going to you. If thederekjay is still here, I'll try and thumb him up too.

NP, the scripts have saved my ass a couple times!

[Q] CM 7.1 -- Google Apps crash and/or not working

A few months ago, using ROM manager, I upgraded my ROM from Revolution to cyanogenmod 6. I then updated frequently, following all of the nightlies with great success. I jumped onto CM7 when it came out and it worked. When I tried to update past the first release candidate, however, I noticed my stock Browser, Gmail, Maps, Google Documents, and Google Reader now crash. I even cleared all caches and data upon updating.
BROWSER and MAPS problem description: Both programs begin to open up and refresh themselves and then almost immediately disappear--sending me back to the home screen of my phone.
GMAIL and DOCs let me see myheaders, but when I click on one, it starts to open, blinks and attempts to refresh a few times, then sends me back to the list of message headers (gmail) while Docs sends me to the phone home screen.
Again, I am not getting force close messages. I have tried using ROM manager to fix permissions w/ restart to no avail. I tried redownloading Google Apps from ROM manager for 2.3.4, reflashed the Gapps, still no go.
I am completely baffled. Does anyone know what is causing the problem?
Tried a complete wipe? As in wipe data/factory reset, format boot and system?

Thank you so much for your reply. I'm sweating over here.
I just wiped data/factory reset, format boot and format system, reinstalled ROM w/ Gapps from ROM Manager, fixed permissions.
(1) The stock Browser still closes itself w/o opening any pages (no force close message). Just has Google's web address in the bar at the top, looks like its going to open it and POOF. Gone. No force close.
(2) Maps - Opens, zooms in on my location, looks good and then POOF. Gone. No force close.
(3) Gmail - Shows me headers, seems stable, click on header, looks like it's opening, white screen swipes in, sends me back to headers.
Basically, not much changed after the wipes.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: I am using an Seiko(sp?) extended battery. Could this be a factor?
If you are using cm7.x.x, make sure you are installing the correct gapps. make sur you are installing the gb-gapps for cm7. Hopefully that wil work for you.

I downloaded the newest gapps in Rom Manager and applied. Same issues.
Just to be sure, this is what I consider a full wipe:
In recovery:
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Under Mounts and storage:
Format boot
Format system
Format cache
Format data
Under advanced:
Wipe dalvick
Back to recovery:
Install rom/gapps
Use cwm 3.0.0.7 for amoled
Use cwm 3.0.0.8 for slcd
Do all of this from recovery, not through rom manager.
That was some seriously detailed instructions. Wow - much appreciated. Followed to the detail in case I missed something that I didn't wipe. *FINGERS CROSSED*
Argh. When I booted, punched in my Google account, the Market installer came up, checked all, ended up in endless Market white-screen loop. Let it sit for quite a while, the beast never stopped, restarted. Got to the home screen and tried opening the browser... still not working.
Between this and last message, I restored my old 7.0 ROM and like I thought, it was still working. *MIND BLOWN*
Not sure what else to try at this point. I've never had a problem installing gapps on cm7. If I think of something more, I'll certainly repost.

Thanks again for your time and advice. I just hope someone else sees this and has more suggestions now. Take care.

[Q] I fixed permissions in CWM... now my phone is going haywire!

I just updated to ACS SyndicateROM Frozen 1.2 from CWM. It updated successfully. Everything is great... until I had a bright idea to go into CWM and select "Fix Permissions".
Now, the phone successfully boots up and into the ROM. However, all the apps are going haywire! Everything keeps force closing. Nothing will work long enough before it force closes. I can still lock the phone and shut the phone down from the ROM, but I'm stuck. What do I do? HELP!!!
WHEW! Ok, it worked after I went back into CWM and did fix permissions again. BUT, a bunch of apps are still force closing whenever I load them up. Swype and Google Frameworks keep force closing on their own.
How can I fix those issues? Go into CWM and do it again?
Depending on the number of apps you can just goto settings -> manage applications -> wipe data
If its more than a few just reflash the rom or load a recent nandroid backup.

Good news is that I think I got everything back to normal. I went back into CWM and did the Fix Permissions 3 times in a row. Except my contacts are all gone. Luckily, I have them all saved to my Google account. But, for some reason they won't sync. Any ideas?

[Q] Reboot woes: disappearing/FC apps

Hi, everyone; adding to the flood of questions...
I've been having some issues after a reboot lately:
- a couple of my apps will disappear. Namely Line Runner and the Merriam Webster Dictionary. I did some searching on this earlier and people who have had similar problems said it was due to the apps being installed on SD. I moved them to the phone, which seemed to solve the problem, but:
- rebooting also seems to make me lose my latest Google Search and Maps updates. The market will prompt me to update these. These apps are already on the phone, so no clue how to fix that one. But the most annoying thing is:
- after reboot, several of my game apps will force close when I try to open them. It seems like it's the more processor-intense ones: Pew Pew, Osmos, Anomaly, World of Goo. I thought maybe it was because of the undervolting/underclocking settings I have (from GideonX), but the apps work fine (running quite smoothly) after I install them, as long as I don't reboot. As soon as I reboot, if I try to open them again I get FC. If I uninstall then reinstall, they run fine again.
Any ideas? I'm running Juggernaut 4.1 with faux's 009u kernel and, as I said above, Gideon's script. I tried one reboot back to faux's stock clock/voltage settings, but I still got FCs on the apps. Granted, I didn't try it again or give it time to settle in or anything.
Any thoughts, folks? Thanks!
fix permissions? fresh wipe and install? clear cache? fiddle around
Ah, forgot to mention. Tried all of the above (fix permissions, clear cache, reflashed ROM, even recovered to my pre-custom ROM backup and reflashed from there).
I did some more testing on this, and I think I've narrowed down the problem. I flashed back to stock voltage/clock settings under faux's kernel, then reinstalled one of the apps I had issues with (Osmos). Upon reboot it still ran okay. So it seems I won't get force closes after reboot IF the app was installed under stock settings.
Does anyone know why undervolting and/or underclocking would cause apps to force close only after reboot?
EDIT:
Well, never mind. I did some more testing, and what I thought worked last time didn't work again. Must have just gotten lucky that time. Sigh.
Try wiping your phone with darksides super wipe and clean flash a rom. Check the md5 sums to make sure youre not installing a bad download

Oh, wow, didn't even know about the existence of that tool. Will definitely give that a try when I have some free time this weekend. Hopefully I can report back with positive news.
Thanks!
Don't want to count my chickens, but using super wipe seems to have done the trick so far! Using super wipe before flashing Jugg 5.0 seems to have gotten rid of my problem of FC apps.
Thanks again!

[Q] [URGENT HELP] Nothing is working!

I have a HTC Wildfire S, rooted, with an AOKP rom.
One day, my phone was running slow, so I rebooted into recovery and cleared dalvik cache and system cache. I rebooted the system and absolutely NOTHING is working. after I unlock the phone, a bunch of processes stop working. Pressing the home button makes Nova Launcher crash. I have since uninstalled it, and still nothing is working.
I can't even turn the phone off using the power button. The only way I can shut the screen off is by removing the battery manually.
EDIT: I tried a factory reset, and it's still the same as before. NOTHING is working. I can go into Settings, that's about it.
A list of apps that stop working:
Link2sd
facebook
outlook
yahoo weather
google.process.gapps
nova launcher
swiftkey
superuser
ETC..
I have attached pictures so you guys can have a sense of what my problem is. Sorry if the pictures are blurry, I had to use my Ipod touch to take them.
Sorry If i have made any errors in this thread. I am new here, I just created an account right now so I can find some help to solve my issue.

Thanks @Guitarfreak12 and @aWFSuser
I did what you guys said, and I reflashed the same ROM and everything is working fine. The only downside, although, is that I have had to re-install all my apps again.
Also, would you guys know what caused the problem? I'd like to know so that I can ensure it doesn't happen again in the future.

Did you had a lot of applications installed and linked along with dalvik to sd-ext?
Then after clearing the cache on reboot the dalvik files will regenerate in the /data partition if there are a lot of apps and the /data overflows then your apps will stop working without the dex files. And clearing the dalvik cache usually doesn't help in increasing speed.........next time you should go into link2sd and use the "clean dalvik cache" option there.........

This actually happens because Link2SD can also link dalvik cache files as well, what the recovery must have deleted would be the symbolic links that the Link2SD script creates, so next time if you want to clear the dalvik cache, use the option found in the Link2sd app
Alright so it seems, instead of using the dalvik cache cleaner on recovery, I should just use the one located in Link2sd. I'll be sure to do that next time to ensure that no problems persist.
Thanks for all the help!

Strange things happening

Today I wanted to upload the new P5210 OEM Rom P5210UEUANB2. So I set up ODIN and loaded without issues. I then installed TWRP and rooted. After all that was done, I started setting the system up to the way I like it by using NoBloat to remove apps. I must have removed one that was associated with my Play Store app. This app opens and then closes just as fast.
So the next thing I did was to restore to my last save which was yesterday. I restored and the problem followed. It should be noted that when I restored, the system went back to the previous version. I am guessing that it was something in one of the caches that did not clear. So I wiped all the caches and restored again. Same thing, Play Store opened and closed just as fast.
Next I loaded the OEM Rom of the version P5210UEUAMK1. Now I get to the setup wizard and it FC's in the middle of me answering questions.
I would like to completely clean this things clock and start fresh with the AMK1 rom. How would I do that in TWRP? Would I wipe both caches, data, system and internal storage? Or would I Format Data? I guess I could try, there has to be a very basic boot level eprom in the system to at least get it into download mode.
Waiting for some advise and appreciate any you can give. Thanks.

I think I found the problem. It was not anything I did last night, it was what I did a few days ago and saved as part of my backup. It would appear that I broke the Play Store but did not realize it until now. I restored the next oldest backup and everything is working as it should. I knew I should test certain apps before I do a backup. LOL
