I dislike the default launcher that comes with the G Flex, so I installed Nova Launcher. Upon trying to open my gallery app, I get the error message that I quoted for the title of this thread. The gallery app works fine with the LG launcher. My question is this: is there any way to fix the gallery app? I've tried clearing the app's data and cache, to no avail.
If there is no way to fix it, would it be possible to pull an AOSP gallery app from a G2 or Nexus 5 ROM and install it?
EDIT: It seems that none of the LG apps work with Nova Launcher.
something is goofy with your phone; I have been using Nova for 6 months on this phone without issue
I'm using Kit Kat and I'm rooted, but it was doing that before I rooted. I reverted to stock JB (which did not have the same problem), rooted it then, and couldn't reproduce the problem. I reverted to stock again, ran the KK update, installed Nova, and had the same problem. I rooted the phone again, after confirming that the problem still exists.
I've got a few ROMs on my computer, like CM 11 and the new Sprint update for the LS995. I'm wondering if I can just pull the apps I need out of one of those zip files.
I dont know about mixing/using files from other roms..I would probably factory reset first, and see if that helps..if you are rooted, you can grab the GFlex Cache wiper program and try wiping dalvik/cache and see if that helps too
I've already done a factory reset and cleared the cache via the recovery. I'll try the app you spoke of, though. Now I just need to find it...
EDIT: That didn't work. Would it be possible for anyone to pull at least the gallery apk off of their phone and upload it? I'll try to install it using ADB.
EDIT AGAIN: Screw it. I'm going to back up all my crap, revert to stock, redo the update, and root it again. I'll try to see if I can't pull the APKs myself and try reinstalling them. It probably won't work, but it's worth a shot.
ANOTHER EDIT: I figured out what the problem is. I have my DPI set to 220, which apparently breaks the LG apps. I want to keep my DPI setting where it is more than I want to use the broken LG apps, so I'm going to attempt to use the AOSP gallery and see what happens.
YET ANOTHER EDIT: Trying to install the 4.4.2 AOSP gallery apk didn't work. It wouldn't install at all. I found an app in the Play Store that mimics the 4.3 gallery, and it seems to cover my needs for now. Thanks for the advice. It really helped me narrow down the cause of my problem.

Hi everyone,
I got a little problem with my market. When i try t install apps there is a delay in showing the app content, the delay is about 32 seconds.
Ok no wipe is helping i wiped everything including SD. But i think it's because the google restore off apps.
Here is a logcat http://pastebin.com/rBYNK9sd i don't know where to look at so if someone can give a look?
I also started a thread at cyanogenmod > http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?/topic/2589-market-slow/ But i didn't get reallt help there so i'm trying here.
I'm running CM 5.0.6 Fresh install
Seems to be an issue with the Market itself. Been seeing the same thing here with both my N1 running Enoms and my partners stock MT3G
it always worked till i installed a fresh install then everything broke, if its the market then a wipe should had fixed it, right? or am i wrong here. anyways it really annoying the market doesn't work well anymore.
If you look at CM forum you will see that after a fresh isntall using another google account doesn't cause a problem. so i'm 99% sure it's because of the google restore off apps. how can i delete that back-up.
I saw in settings you could disable it and delete everything but that didn't work.
I'm currently on Bell gt-i9000m, and I upgraded to 2.3.3 using odin and XXJVB/JVK
I started experiencing problems with my apps, installing from Market, as well as Applanet(yes I know that app is not legal as such, but I used it to see if Market was the problem) however it happens o matter if I use Market, or install .apk files
Every time Install the app, say Boat Browser (I have tried over 20 different apps), the app works perfectly, until I reboot. I have tried powering off, and plain reboot, but every time the reboot finalizes, in the app drawer shows the icon grey'd out and with a little SD symbol at the top corner. Now I know what you are thinking, after I installed apps, I have also tried moving from SD to Internal, and back, but still same outcome.
I read in another thread that it's the buggy TW launcher, so I used Market, as well as Applanet to install a new launcher, ADW shows under applications list as com.something and it will to let me move.
I am not on a stock rom, however I have tried SimplyHoney, Juwe, and GingerReal. I LOVE SimplyHoney, the blue aura and the way everything looks, I love it. The only reason I found it is because GingerReal my apps disappeared as well.
I have also tried formatting My Internal SD, and External SD, same result.
I have also tried researching the methods on the threads already active, but nothing relevant is available.
So, no matter what App I install, how it's installed, I cannot get my apps to stay installed.
Please HELP! Thanks!

That used to happen to me!
Are you sure you converted your filesystem to rfs before flashing new roms?
Have you tried going back to stock and the flash a custom rom?
Is all apps disappear after a reboot, or it is just a few apps?
no just select few new ones i download, even the gmail disappeared, but now it stays, its so weird!
Have u try factory reset? I used to have that problem too but factory reset fixed it.
It happened with me also. For me, uninstalling adw launcher worked. Now I m usinf go launcher and no problem on reboots.
Sounds like a filesystem problem. I had this when I messed up ext4 conversion a couple of times. Flash a fresh rom and lagfix (if you want to) before installing anything.
AS the title says, phone has become really slow. Previously had no problems.
I did change the CPU settings in ROM management toolbox which seems to me to be the culprit, i changed it back but the phone is still really slow at loading app icons on homescreen and in app drawer.
I have reset permissions, scanned for viruses, cleared cache, etc. But still slow.
Anyone an idea what to do besides boot into recovery and resinstall Marvel? or is that really the best way????
Cheers in advance.

Did you want to try the Marvel 12 Beta?
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390362690511177071
Install, do a factory reset, set the governor, and see if it does the trick.
I recommend installing the Xperia Launcher 2.05b. Hopefully Tantrums will be including this in v12 Final:

Your issue may also be related to a specific app you've installed. I ran into issues with a particular app after an automatic upgrade, and it took me a while to figure out the culprit. I contacted the developer and he was quick to fix the issue, but this stuff does happen. Many times you can figure out what's going on by reading the "1-star" reviews for your installed apps on the Play Store. I would message the developer if you find something.
Cheers.
I was thinking of installing v12, but thought id wait until it was officially released.
I guess i will uninstall all apps, to see if it makes a difference, then if not i guess i will reinstall v11 for now.
Actually, thats just too slow, i will ust reinstall v11 ROM.
Thanks.

If you are on Marvel11 and want to reinstall Marvel11 cause you want to change anything in the settings or just cause there did anything go wrong just reboot to recovery and start the Aroma install package of Marvel11 without any whippe at all, that's all, should fix everything.

Yea thats what i did. All was ok.
but then i started to clean up files on my phone. I think i deleted some files i should not have and now i have a phone that i cant enter into recovery mode. It just boots up and shows the coloured X from the X-peria bootloader (for some reason cos i didnt install it) asks for SIM unlock, which i do, but it only shows a handful of apps, standard ones i imagine, but no fast rebbot, or ROM toolbox, or CWM app. So then how do i now enter recovery??????
AHHHHHHHH!!!!! LOL
Ah i found a possible way out of this conundrum i found myself in i think
i had access to play store, so as i couldnt see ROM toolbox in apps, i redownloaded it so i could enter recovery mode.
So that i have done, now i just need to see what i have when the phone has rebooted, but i think that will have worked.
I think i must have deleted the data files or something when cleaning up the phone :/
Yea. looks like i have to reinstall all apps. No biggy then. Phew!!
Just a little reminder: If you use Windows 'adb reboot recovery' will do the trick too.

Yea, im on mac, so ncd.
OK so now my process.com android.mms keeps closing on me, effectively i have no MMS.
Anyone a solution?
I have reset Darvik Cache and normal cache. Fixed permissions. Uninstalled the app through ROM toolbox, then reinstalled the ROM. Still no joy,MMS just will not run.
Ideas?
Or should i just install Marvel v12?

A fresh install with v12 Beta will take less time than you've already spent. Just have your additional apps (outside the Play Store) in a folder on the SD card.

Should i preform a factory reset as well? I ask because i am on Mac, so performing any procedures where i need to hook up the phone to a computer, although not impossible, is a bit of a task. Will installing Marvel v12 actually fix the issue in itself?????
I have actually installed Go SMS Pro and Handcent, which work in terms of being able to retrieve MMS, but it hasnt done anything to fix the stock/Optimus G MMS app.
Hehe, I should install Marvel 12 i know, I am just holding back a bit.

I do a full factory reset after any ROM install.
I use Go SMS too. I liked Pansi soooo much, but the last update continually crashes on my Marvel ICS.
Remind me please, if the full factory reset means i will need a PC to fix anything, or if i can perform a full factory reset and install either Marvel v11 or v12 without needing a computer?

You install the ROM, then you do the factory reset.
The factory reset returns things to a raw ROM state, getting rid of anything you've added since installing the ROM. So yes, it will wipe anything you download from the Play Store. I do it immediately after installing the ROM.
Put Marvel 12 Beta on the SD card (root directory), and any non-Play Store items you'd like to install in a folder on the card.
Rooted (stock) VZW moto x
A couple days ago my phone app started force closing immediately upon opening it every time. It doesn't work at all now. I am rooted, but I rooted weeks ago and this just started yesterday or the day before. I haven't messed with anything. The only thing that I have done is download apps from the play store... None of which 'should' mess with the phone app.
I have since downloaded an alternative dialer app which works, but I'd rather use stock. I tried rebooting, tried clearing the app's cache and data (in system settings - apps) and no luck.
Any help would be great. Either finding/fixing the issue or a way to reinstall the stock phone app? I am rooted and I believe write protection is off, which I had to do to install busybox. Thanks!

What version are you on. 4.2.2 or 4.4
There is a couple things i would try i have had to do it with other phone specially my old S3
1. restore from a backup when i the dialer was not FC
2. try reinstalling the dialer from the APK located here device/system/prvi-app/dialer.apk
3. pull the dialer.apk out of the correct stock ROM or recover img and replace the one located in the above folder and install it.
but to be honest option one is normally the best way to go and the fastest.
Thanks. I'm on 4.4. I'm going to try option 2 when i get home. I'm not exactly sure how to restore a backup on this phone yet being that i dont really have a recovery.
Edit: option 2 installed ok, but still force closes
let me get you the .apk from the restore img give me about a hour to download it and get you a link
also do you know how to use titanium backup if so i would install it and back up all user apps and data because you might have to do a factory reset. but if you backup with TB you and restore everything right back to ware you was
In advance: I may be a idiot.
I received my LG L90 D410hn yesterday and was happily fooling around. Summing up, all I'd done was:
instaling LG OTA update
successfuly rooting it (towel)
installing greenify pro/donation edition
installing Classic Messaging
Installing Google Launcher (sideloading apk)
Greenifying the bloatware described all along this thread
Eveything was running smooth and crisp, but the dialer design really got to my nerves. So I decided to try to install my LG Optimus 2X custom rom's dialer (The ROM) because that is NEAT.
I backed up my original Phone apk and other related apps with ES File Explorer just in case and uploaded the apks to my Dropbox.
Then I proceeded to uninstall the Phone app. The try was rewarded with a "unsuccesful" message, but the app was seemed gone from the system apps list. So I tried to install the dialer from the Custom rom... no success. I decided to give up, restored the back up and everything was OK.
I went to bed and even dreamed about this marvelous phone, just to wake up to a... Well:
"com.android.phone crashed" messages
no access to any of my SMS apps - stock or Classic Messaging. It just closes with no warning or error message
No data connection. Actually, my SIM wasn't recognized at all after a while
I took my SIM card and put it back in my old phone and, until I rebooted for the second time, the card was problematic, but now it's ok.
How can I clean this mess? I tried to clean the Phone cache to no success, then proceeded to a factory reset with the same outcome
(I have no MicroSD card on the L90)
Follow this Guide and reflash stock rom. :good:

When you place your original dialer back into its original place, make sure the permissions are r-w-rr, and then reboot. If that doesn't work, I'm sure someone else can help you out. There's a fix for this besides reflashing the KDZ.

Thank you, guys! I ended up reflashing KDZ. It was a breeze though, so no hard feelings.
I did, indeed, read about the permission settings, but couldn't find a good guide at the time so I let it slip.
Reflash KDZ didnt fix it for me
I have an almost identical problem after attempting to install the google dialer. I reflashed the phone but it still had all the previously loaded apps still in it including the dialer and services. Any ideas what to do next? The dialer and services have the correct permissions. I noted in another post that the version on these is 0.
