i found that manually formatting /system in recovery and reinstalling CM from scratch fixed the contact fc's.  "full wipe" does *not* format /system, so you need to do it manually.

This issue has come and gone for me over the past few months.  I believe I was dealing with two separate issues.

I compulsively moved apps to the SD card to avoid filling up /data/data to 100% because I would experience the cascading force closes.  When I updated to 7.1, I started to experience the freezing issue.  The freezing issue went away after an SD card reformat... until the $0.10 app sale.  I bought some big apps (20-30mb), and .android_secure on the SD card was approaching 1GB. I started to experience the freezing issue again.  I wiped/restored with TitaniumBackup, freezing starts again when I install my big new purchases.  Even without the new apps, it still took 3-5 minutes to load the apps from my SD card after a reboot.  Also, every time the phone booted and attempted to load apps from the SD card, ADWLauncher would freeze and need to force close.  If I missed the prompt asking me to force close ADWLauncher, the phone would freeze up completely.  I decided moved the smallest apps back on to my phone (anything 2mb or less in .android_secure) and now there is almost no delay loading apps from the SD card, and no freezing issue.  I am not sure if it was an issue with the number of apps on the card, or with the size of the folder, but it's better now.  /data/data is still okay too, since most of the apps I moved were small.

I created an account just to put my thoughts in.

When I was running 7.1 RC1 I never had one problem with my phone the 7 months I was deplyed with it. The day I switched over to 7.1 stable I had nothing but a crap ton of problems, Force Closing everything. I have since then moved to the nightly build 258 and am back to having no problems what so ever. No force closing anything. There is something really wrong with the stable build. I thought is was just my phone but as it turns out it is not.

[Tothinator]

I had a lot of similar problems to those above. I've been stable for a few days now since
1. cleaning out some apps that showed up as having a lot in /data/data
2. Switching over to nightly 258

Not sure what the real root cause is, but just thought I'd add my results too

Hello,
I was going to take the plunge on CM 7.1 stable (first time ever modding) until I read this thread.  Now I want to try out nightly 258, but when I go to http://download.cyan...e=RC&device=inc , I'm getting a "Website Offline, No Cached Version Available" CloudFlare error.

Are there mirrors available elsewhere or when will this problem be fixed?

Thanks!

[RoninX]

Well it's back online!   I just needed more patience, I guess.
Flashed to 258, running great so far.

I know the Incredible's an old phone, not even supported by HTC anymore, but is development on this still continuing? (nightly 258 seems to be the latest which was 11/16/11)

The good thing about CyanogenMod is that most development applies to all supported devices.  The nightly build server just had some issues, and I think decided not to bother rebuilding it for CM7.  So yes, new stuff has been added in the meantime.  There will eventually be a 7.2, and you can get a preview with one of the KANG builds floating around on XDA or RootzWiki.

[RoninX]

Thanks, I'll check those out also.  Loving CM 7.1...wish I tried this out sooner.

You guys are doing an amazing job!

Garaxiel, that logcat show sqlite IO exceptions, which probably means your /data/data is full, a common issue.  I'm working on getting this handled better, but in the mean time you should try a cache cleaner to free up some space manually.

@CUViper - do you know if this has an issue associated with it on google code? searching the issues I could not find any mention of it. Also how would I know which app in my /data/data folder is too full without checking every folder? use the --recursive option and --size (I can't remember the adb/busyBox options)? Could I just wipe the entire /data/data folder and then restore user data from Titanium?

FYI, nightlies starting from 256 should manage cache cleanups automatically now.  It's still a problem if you have too much genuine data though.  You can see each app's usage with a command like "du -d1 /data/data | sort -n" to find the biggest offenders.  Maybe you can also compare that from your time at 69% to 90% to see what grew so much.

@CUViper my version of BusyBox doesn't have the -d1 option (although I'm using teminal emulator from CM7.1) maybe this is only available from adb shell?

Hmm, CM actually comes with BusyBox and other utilities already.  The version in /system/xbin/du should support -d1, I just tried it.

You can get a similar result like this: "du -s /data/data/* | sort -n"

[bwanamarko]

@CUViper my bad, "du -d1 ..." work fine. I was misreading the --help, and didn't interpret the -d N directions well. Thanks for the response, and sorry for being such a n00b.

hey, i am brand new to rooting.  literally.  less than a week old.  however, i rooted initially to fix the low storage space issue on my Incredible.  


I used this mod...
"Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.zip"

http://forum.xda-dev....php?t=1315372r

based off of these directions...

http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1488351



and, it works!  it moves everything in the /data/data partition into the 750mb of internal storage, so now there is a lot of room!

and i think that this mod works on Cyanogenmod.

would this Mod fix these force close problems?  

Susan, did you ever find a solution to this problem?  is it still happening, everyone?  I am very very very curious about trying CM7.1..... but maybe I should try an earlier release?  which one would be more stable?

thanks, and hope this Mod i mentioned helps.
