[Q] freezing apps problem - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi everybody. since when i started using the note i had problems in freezing/defreezing apps. i tried rom toolbox pro, titanium backup, anttek app manager and the last version of sd maid, but the only one that works is the anttek one. i wrote to every developer of each app without receiving any answer. someone of you has some ideas about the reasons of this problem?

What's the problem you're having? When freezing, are they not, or when unfreezing is it causing issues? What apps specifically are you freezing?

You don't have proper root.

As stated above you need to be rooted - as for TB: it has (had?) some problems with unfreezing apps, what works for me is Root App Delete - which surprisingly does not delete apps, only renames them to *.bak, to be removed if you want later.
It's not on your list so you could try this one as well.

When i try to freeze apps, the process never end, so i have to end it manually. After that the app results freezed. If i try to defreeze it, the process never end again, so i end it by myself, but after that the apps is always freezed. I tried to wait, but after 20 mins the process was still going.

I have also root app delete, but i would prefer a more specialized app, like rom toolbox or titanium. Anyway, if i recycle an app without deleting it, it is like freezed. I should try this if it is like that. Thanks!

Developer of SD Maid here.
Could you pm me your email adress?
I never received an email from you. I answer every email i get, if i understand it (sometimes the translator can't make sense out of russian emails ).
If you turn on DEBUG output in SD Maids settings and email me (support @ thedarken [dot] eu) an android log, i can work on fixing the issue.

Oops. Sorry my fault. I haven't never email you. I didn't want to lie, so excuse me. But i don't know how to show you the problem, because the program doesn't show any error, it can't simply complete the operation. If you can explain me how to show you the exact problem, i'll do immediately. Thanks alot for your time.

In SDMAID, go to settings, general, turn on "DEBUG" output.
Download an app like "aLogCat", have it record the android log, then start sd maid, reproduce the problem and mail me the log.
Turning DEBUG on will make SD Maid very chatty in the log, giving alot of extra info on what it is doing, which might help me pin down the cause for the problem.

Blimey, personal support from Dev... Will be taking a look at your apps Dark3n ;-)

Having the same problems as @asusgarb
I'm using MyToolbox in MyBackUp Pro. Running Stock deodexed ROM XXLC1 with franco.kernel test version (soon to be renamed v10).
As said earlier, Freeze just stops instead of giving the reboot dialog box. Manual reboot yields frozen app. Unfreeze works the same. Just stops but the app and the device are not locked up. Reboot yields still frozen. Dev has no answer yet.

Try SD Maid, does it have this problem too?
If it does, turn on debug output and get me a log.

Found a solution!
App Quarantine (free @ Play) solved the unfreeze problem for me! It unfreezes all frozen apps and then I refroze the apps I wanted frozen using MyBackUp Pro again.
Here is the developer's blog page with the easy instructions.
http://ramdroid.wordpress.com/2012/01/16/app-quarantine-solves-ebm-policy-issues-on-galaxy-note/
It took a total of 5 minutes to unfreeze and re-freeze using this method. It is similar to the restore all button in Titanium BU as I understand it. All I know is it worked for me!!!
Thanks for the reply Dark3n. I found this solution before I saw your reply.

[Q] Aps dont remember allready instaled

Hi
I apologise for my english
Thise happened 4 times allredy.
If i install app (no matter wich, last time it was Astro from market) it opens with wellcome window and setings etc.
I close it.
Next time i open it it behaves like it installed first time, opens wellcome window setings etc.
That happens to ewery app installed aftervard.
It is like aps think that they are just instaled, even if i set them and everithing.
Factory reset.
Everithing O.K.
After some thime all start to happen again.
It dosent matter wich app start thise behaviour first, it is random.
I woud like to know why thise is hapening, how i can prevent it and how i can fix it (without factory reset) once it happens.
I need detail instructions and explanation becouse i dont know anithing abaut android.
I use Galaxy S, no root, Froyo 2.2.1.

That dosent work and i have feeling that you misunderstand my question (becouse of my english).
Thise dosent have anything to do with market. It dosent matter if app is from market. Any app behaves like it is just installed. I apologise becouse my english prevent me from posting question more clearly but your answer have nothing to do with my problem.
Thank you for your answer, and i use thise trick twice before when downloads from market didnt start and market FC.
On some other forum i got replay:
Seems that your phone's NVS is not working.
But i coudnt get them to explain to me what that mean. Anybody know what that means and how i can fix it?
Thank you for your time

Anybody understand what i am asking?
Someone had problems with applications that never remembered her configurations,he had to rewrite some linux path for permissions by adb.But there is a fix permission in rom manager,don't know if it can help I'm not aware of that kind of stuff.
Really I'm giving tracks without knowing...and my english...sorry.

Don't know much either,i mean never tried it myself, the option is in the recovery menu with certain kernels.I see it in my recovery on 2.3 with chainfire CWM.
What rom/firmware/kernel have you?
I'll be sorry if that's not a solution for you but by searching google for your concern that's the only thing i can see...
Thank you.

I also had this problem.
Both my apps tweetcaster and hullinail were telling me to register my accounts even though i already did jus a few hours ago.

How to Link installed apps with Market?

Hello friends!
I updated my cell from froyo to Gingerbread as then restored all my apps with help of Titanium backup pro. Problem is that now all my apps some how got unlinked with the Market and when I go to my apps in Market, none of my apps are shown in the list. Because of this I dont come to know if there are any updates available for any of my installed apps.
Is there any way to link them back with Market without installing them all over again.
Thankyou.

Try going to settings>application>manage applications and clearing data/cache or whatever it lets you clear of the market app.
Go to titanium backup>options> more>market doctor.. Since you are on pro titanium backup you can use market doctor..

what worked for me was to re download the app from the market on wifi. it will error out with the message already installed then will show up as installed in google play.
An easy way of pushing the apps to the phone is to log onto googleplay web site reselect the app and select install.

Of course you can. But if the linked app is a cracked paid one(ore a free app from an other market eg getjar wich is free there) the market will show it in my apps but it won't let you update it... If the app is avaiable for free in the market and you donwloaded it else where there are no problems with linking and updating it..(and no i dont have illegal apps i know it cause the "gold apps" from getjar are not updatable after linking them to the market, it'll show you a message that you didn't purchase the app..)

They are in Titanium (root is needed). Freeze is better then uninstall, you can experiment what to remove and easily return back. And there is somewhere a list of apps which are safe to remove, search for it. Of course, you can remove all of unwanted apps from the rom before flashing it.
Edit:
Read here about what apk's are secure to remove http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=989283
Thanks friends,
I even did it through titanium backup. I took a backup and then uninstall. Its goes very smooth without much prob.

Installing apps after flashing new rom

Hi ppl
Is there any way to have all apps installed the way it was before switching to a new rom ? I mean when I try out new roms I have to install all apps again. I've tried my backup pro and titanium but they only restore all apps. Anyone has a faster way of doing this??
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA
I'm using MyBackup root therefor. Here you can restore all apps with the data in batch mode. But I think MyBackup pro should also do it.
Did u backup your apps along with all their data? There is an option in Titanium Backup to do so in the batch option. I still have my high scores of Temple Run
MyBackup Pro seems to be the best bet considering Titanium does create issues for some folks.
But do remember restoring apps can produce errors in the working of the ROM which otherwise wouldn't exist.
Safest best is to clean instal your apps again.
Tx guys but I cannot get all apps installed . It only restores them with their respective data. I don't wanna install all apps again one by one after flashing a new rom

Titanium backup has a batch restore mode where you can restore more than one app at a time. If this is not what you mean, I don't have a clue what you're talking about.
I haven't used titanium but I'll check it out. Just to make sure do the apps get installed or just restored? I mean do I have to hit the install button for every app?

Listen buddy, this is a community here. Respect others to get respect for yourself.
Your posts are quite inconsistent.
In the same thread, at the start of the post you mentioned you have used Titanium & a couple of posts later you state you HAVE NOT yet used titanium.
with incorrect/incomplete info no one would be able to assist you correctly & your frustration levels are going to rise.
@letmedanz I didn't mean to disrespect anyone but the way nonverbose responded wasn't cool.
Anyway what I meant when I said I used titanium was that I installed it and removed it within minutes. But I'm not here to prove anything so am gonna forget it and apologize to whoever I offended.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA
That's cool buddy..
Anyhow, a couple of options are available...
at most times when you install a fresh rom, android automatically installs the apps you had on earlier.
This happens when you run the new rom for the first time, in the initial setup.
Provided you have synced your phone with your gmail account.
once you provide your wifi and/or apn details android will automatically download and instal all the apps.
your second option is as you mentioned, third party apps like titanium & mybackup pro.
personally, i prefer MBP cos titanium has given me more than one problem.
MBP is a neat app, you can either backup/restore all apps or just select a few.
howevre , i still believe it is best to reinstall all apps after a new rom instal, cos restored apps may force close or have other issues specially if you are changing between GB & ICS etc
+1 for Titanium backup !!!
You can backup personnal applications, but their settings and your system settings too !!!
The retore process is quicker than google process because you haven't to download applications from network.
Settings...Image?

I have titanium backup pro and have not figured out how to restore all the settings. Maybe I'm confused, but I have to spend hours setting all the preferences, screens widgets etc each time I flash a new ROM. I've heard you can "Image" backup. Does Titanium do that?
Go backup and go backup pro is best..It don't prompt to install each and every app every time..batch restore with data..easy than titanium backup..

Make sure you know what you're talking about before you post. Titanium backup pro HAS batch restore mode in which you don't have to INDIVIDUALLY install every app.

[Q] GingerDXv027 - Youtube App

Flashed the new version of GingerDX (amazing BTW), but it has no Youtube app. =/

Still wonder why Titanium Backup done this only to this app, and how did you know this? HAHA
I'm not sure who's responsible for that. It could be Ginger DX.
Anyway, I found that while randomly browsing TB. I have also another app frozen, not only on GDX but in other ROMs too. It's "Market apps installer" with the cyanogenmod icon.

Actually it's not (same as the Market Apps Installer being talked about below your post). If you take a close look there's not a single script anywhere to freeze any of these two apps, nor is there any hack in the system.
Also, YouTube.apk is in /system/app if you look - so if you installed / upgraded correctly (flash, full-wipe) there are no problems and the YouTube app will also show in the app drawer.
I said it could be GDX but I highly doubted it. But what about market apps installer? I have found it frozen in every recent ROM I've tried.

For some odd reason Titanium does NOT show me any frozen apps.
I had the same problem, unfreezed the app and the search doesn't work on the app.
