I know some of you have been having problems with a force close message that looks like this: Android.process.media is not responding please force close or retry.

I have done search after search only to find one way that ultimately fixes this annoying every second force close message.

1. Make sure your phone is rooted.

2. Using a file explorer of your choice go into the directories as follows:

/system/app/

3. Delete this file from the menu, mediaprovider.apk

4. Force close messages will now stop. Horray!

If you have questions post them. I will do my best to answer.

I fixed this problem without any further issues by clearing the download cache :eek: - I'm just as surprised as you.

Or you could get it from the market, and pay for it, and support the developers. But if you want to be a thief, that's your decision.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] indymx:
It never ceases to amaze me how people can justify being a thief.

If 4 bucks is out of line, how is it you could afford your phone in the first place?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Borat38:
why patronize piracy?

I live in Asia, where pirated software/apps are more prevalent than legit ones. That is because software like Microsoft Windows is economically out of reach for the man on the street.

But $3.99? Come on! We shouldn't expect devs to continue churning out useful code without getting paid for it. If the developers of Titanium Backup or Root Toolbox had decided early on that it wasn't worth it to develop apps for Android or WinMo, we'd all still be in the Dark Ages of the cellphone era. Making custom ROMs is not the same. For one, many of them were based on stock firmware--which were made by highly-paid software engineers at phone makers in the first place.

What the Android Market offers for free, I download for free. When it has a price and I need it, I pay for it. Simple as that.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] phinkasaurus:
1) the fix listed above worked perfectly for me. (HD2, gingerbread, CM7)

2) paying for an app is the right thing to do. free ones are preferred, of course. you know it, i know it, they know it. support open source, support the community. pay it forward.

Thanks for the tip mate. I got rid of FC's after removing mediaprovider. But after removing it cannot access any sort of media like photos, ringtones etc :-D. Any other work around?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brucemccafferty:
WARNING!

Yep, this is actually a horrible fix. For me, it did nothing except stop me from accessing any of my media. So if you don't care about listening to music, viewing any photos, having ringtones, viewing video you have taken etc, this MIGHT work for you. I had to dig out the mediaprovider.apk from the .zip of my ROM and replace it.

I fixed mine by restoring my last Titanium Backup ("restore all apps with data"). Whatever was corrupted was restored back to working order. I understand that not everyone has Titanium Backup, but it has save my a$$ a couple of times now when an app or system file has started acting weird. Root your phone and get TB, it's so worth it.

EDIT: OK, so the problem came back after I replaced mediaprovider.apk, so apologies for that. I booted into recovery and did a factory/data reset, then restored my Titanium Backup, and all seems to be good now. Again, I understand this may not help everyone, but it worked for me, and it avoids deleting apk files without fully understanding what effect it will have.

I had the same problem with my Asus transformer. In addition the default Music player did not work anymore as it used to (played the wrong numbers).

The above solution did not work for me (I could get to the files mentioned without rooting).

Sofar I got the problem solved as followed.

1. I found an new version 4 of the Music player (com.google.android.misic.4.0.9.apk) and installed this version

2. This by itself did not solve anything, but now I could reinstall the factory original version and now everything is OK.

No forced closing anymore and the default player works as before

I hope it stays this way.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IphoneHater007:
Hi All - while in the process upgrading from the previous version of MIUI to this latest one, I accidentally selected the 'restart system option after formatting the system, cache and data without flushing the new ROM and now the phone won't boot up. It goes to the main Galaxy S screen followed by Galaxy S Glitch screen then it runs some coding (in seconds so i don't know what is says) and then back to main Galaxy screen in a loop.

What I have tried

> Going to recovery mode with vol up + home + power button (released @ first Samsung Screen) but then it goes back to second Galaxy S Glitch screen in the same loop.

> Going to download mode with vol down + home + power button and it does the same as going into recovery mode.

> Tried to do go into recovery and download mode multiple times using different combinations of vol up, vol down, home and power button without success.

> Read through the threads here but I was not able to find anything with the same or similar problem problem

> I tried to follow the help provided by Thyrador on this forum

I know if I can go into recovery mode I will be able to flush the new ROM but getting there is the problem.

I would appreciate your help with this and hope there is a fixable solution.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kar200:
I have done that a few times and both CWM and download mode should be there.

Make sure everytime you try the 3 buttons you actually remove the battery before trying.

K.

Edit: the coding you are talking about is CWM trying something and that's shy I think it is still there.

Did you just format system?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IphoneHater007:
Thanks for your response

I actually formatted the system, data and cache without flushing the new ROM.

I tried what you said about removing the battery but that didn't show anything on the screen when I tried the 3 buttons. Is that what you meant?

cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kar200:
What I meant was a bit dumb as since you have a bootoop you would have removed the battery anyway each time to try.

I normally flash the same way like you and I always do a factory reset (which formats Data and cache and I do the system manually. Unless soemthing has gone seriously wrong I don't see why you would not be able to get back to recovery?

I have even done it today actually and managed to go back to recovery.

I would say try and boot into download mode. Did you use Download Mode in the past? Are you sure it is there?

I read somewhere else someone saying that it does not always work the first time. Give it a few tries.

Your last option would be the JIG obviously but hopefully you should be able to get it sorted without.

K.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IphoneHater007:
To tell you the truth I always use an app to boot the phone into recovery or download mode however one of my work colleagues has always being able to reboot my phone into any of these modes using the three buttons - not sure how. I will continue to try anyway.

Thanks again for your response and for give me hope that this has happened to you in the past.

cheers

Card is mounted and everything, but still everything wants to be moved to 'media area'. How can I change this?
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
Thats correct move it to "media area".
[Atrix 4G General] iOSlulz:
but isnt that just the internal device memory? I want to put apps i can on my external SD card.
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
Are you sure they are suppose to go to the ext?

On my apps2sd pro it prompts me to move to "media area".

My TiBU screen here show internal, sd, ext sd..? Can someone explain this for us?
[Atrix 4G General] iOSlulz:
how big is your sd card...8GB?
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
Yes 8GB.

Edit* the external (for purposes of this thread) is 8gb
[Atrix 4G General] iOSlulz:
kk. I have been messing around with this and no dice...its starting to annoy me.

i want everything i can moved onto the ext card to cut down on fragmentation and so i can use a SD speed booster.
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
Afaik the sd speed booter increases the cache size, thats what mine does. Increasing cache size will load thumbnails of pics and vids faster, but not necessarily boost the performance of a game or something..

As far as fragmentation, ive never thought of that, im sure there is a defrag app. Ill look tomorrow im sleepy. :)
[Atrix 4G General] ChongoDroid:
Media area is SD card... right?
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
Yes but we are confused if "media area" is stored on "internal sd" or "external sd". I believe the apps in media area are on internal sd. The op is asking can they be stored on the external sd.?
[Atrix 4G General] markh7999:
Media area is the internal phone storage not ext sd card.
[Atrix 4G General] ndevries64:
Is this common for other android phones? I mean, doesn't the move to media area option on other phones actually move it to external? It seems to be pointless for move to media area just to move it to internal storage.
[Atrix 4G General] iOSlulz:
Never had this issue on the N1....and yes very pointless I think.

This 11GB partition is called /sdcard/ in addition to media storage.

Android phones without the atrix configuration, like the N1, will see the microSD as "sdcard" and app2sd will move apps to the microSD card. I'm running GladAtrix and Ririal enabled the "preferred install location" option under application settings and i set it to removable sd card. I haven't seen it anywhere else but i did pose the question about enabling it in this thread.

[Desire HD General] CodeNameUnknown1:
hi, if you have S-OFF (if you dont know what it is, google it!) then find the GingerBreak thread, follow its instructions.

If not, then you have to downgrade, root, and upgrade to 2.3(find a stock-rooted ROM). - (first link in the post above)

you could, alternatively, then S-OFF after downgrading and rooting, and officially upgrade then use GingerBreak.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gohkc90:
To all the developers and members of XDA,

I bought an X10mini and found out that the firmware version is 2.1.1.A.0.16 , can i flash it to MiniCM6 2.2 ROM ? the baseband is M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 but the firmware is not 2.1.1.A.0.6..

I tried to to reinstall the ROM using PC companion and the version that i get is still 0.16 and not 0.6 .

I wonder if anyone here have the version same as mine and can i flash it to custom ROM ? i search throughout the treads and did not found any 2.1.1.A.0.16 available, is this the latest version or because the version is differ because of countries?

Any helps will be well-appreciated, thanks !

This is because you have the 2011 X10 Mini. Everything should work normally.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] phenriqueff:
You have a previous FW, if you want to flash without fear, flash to the new FW and them flash it to MiniCM6 2.2 ROM.

You can use WotanClient, sign in the site of the program, it is free, and very easy flash with this program, and you can downgrade or upgrade your phone.

Hi guys,

I'm completely new to this so please go easy on me :)

Basically, I'm wanting to install Cyanogen CM7.0.3, for my Xperia X10, from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=911364

However, I'm now really confused. There are 2 versions of the kernel mentioned. So I have a few questions.

Which version of the kernel do I need for my device?

How do I flash the kernel with xRecovery? Is it just a matter of booting into xRecovery, selecting restore, and then browsing to the kernel file?

When I do a backup with xRecovery, does that backup EVERYTHING, including baseband and kernel?

If I just update the kernel, will the stock ROM still operate correctly? Basically, I'm in the situation where I'm only interested in getting iptables, so if I can just update the kernel and not the RON, that's what I'd like to do.

I've searched for ages but to no avail. If you could help or even point me in the right direction for just one of those questions, I'll be in debt to you :)

Thanks in advance!

I'm only selling it because I swapped over to a Tmo Vibrant (running CM7, ahthankyou) to hold me over until an Nvidia quad-core something or other comes out at the end of this year, so I figured I'd post this here for the up and coming WP7 developer.
