I posted this over on XDA but need all the help I can get so I wanted to see if anyone had and help on this site too.

My fiances phone has been force closing a lot lately aka com.android phone not responding. I saw the first force close when I tried flashing Tazzs cm7 on his phone so thats when I first put on gsb 1.2
I switched his over to Sheds GSB on the 8th and it was great everything was fine but then I decided to try to improve on a few settings and when I restarted the phone it decided to start force closing.
I reflashed the rom and the gapps and everything seemed fine but then I wanted to put cs skull theme on his phpne since we had it on Kaos v9 but then when I restarted the phone after flashing the theme it force closed again.

So then I reflashed the rom and gapps again and got all his apps and settings all back how he had it and decided to do a Nandbackup so that we wouldnt have to keep reflashing the rom again and once I restarted the phone after the nandbackup it force closed again.

Long story short I reflashed the rom and gapps and now am in the process of getting his apps and settings back how he had it once again.

Am I doing something wrong to make it keep force closing? I would like to make a nandbackup at least for him so that we wont have to keep setting up his phone.

Thank you for any help

Update on 2/21/11 it force closed again when he restarted his phone. Its working fine now but I know if he restarts it again he will be stuck. He needs his phone to be reliable again and dont know how to fix this. Going to try and format the sd tonight thats one of the things I have yet to try.

With all roms do not  need to flash gapps, they are just google apps. if the roms say you need it put flash it thats when you should, what i would say is try a different rom there are a few on here that are good....

Did you do a full data wipe and dalvik wipe before flashing anything?

i have been seeing a lot of people that i have helped at the store with roms problems with force closing and i have figured that some people have left their rom for the eris slowly die or not put as much love into them anymore.

Rip at the store i only do siks, adams or the gb one on here. they are the only ones i have found that seem to work the best

True the devos move on to other phones, since the eris is now ancient..

I know nothing about tazz's rom.  I only flash siks and worksheds gb. 

Try wiping data and dalvik again 3 times each.  flash workshed, gapps and froyocache.  Skip trying to add themes that are not included with the rom.

If you are using GSB (any version) and you had any other rom installed before that, here is what you should do

1) Format Sd card on PC, do not quick format and make sure to click on the default allocation size (only keep what you need, pictures, music, movies & such)

2) Full data & Davlik wipe x3 for each (the 3x just really makers sure it gets it all)

3) Flash rom (GSB 1.6 is great), then flash gapps & then if you want flash the froyo(cm) cache2cache zip as well. DO NOT reboot between flashes.

4) reboot and setup your phone and download the apps

5) now only move your pics, music & movies back to the sd card. NO system files or app folders that may have been left from card before formatting.

6) once done, you can install themes or anything else you like to the phone. Remember this is a new rom build and some apps or themes, etc may not work. To be honest, I haven't had any problems yet


Hope this helps

Thank you for all your help. His phone is working again. He said he wiped the phone a bunch of times the other day when he was trying to get it back up and running when it forced closed on him while at work and now i rebooted it and  backed it up and that usually caused a problem, so far so good.

I am tho going to format the sd card and redo the rom again just to be sure this problem doesnt happen again. Thank you again for all the help.
