Applications don't start anymore after reboot (2.3.7)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install 2.3.7
2. See that some apps can't be started after upgrade
3. See that you can't install them they will give an error on installation
4. Remove the contents of the .android_secure folder
5. Observe that you can install the app now from the market
6. After reboot, the app doesn't start anymore.

anymore.

why don't you try to remove application local data. 
"Settings"=>"Application"=>"manage applications"=> select application and 
remove data.

----
you can see log messages. (use ddms or adb logcat)
it will shows you a lot of information of your application.

Because i prefer install on the SD card, more places. To re-run the 
applications I have to go at each restart, DNase storage menu and uninstall 
then reinstall the sd card. So the concern is initialized at startup of the 
mobile.

The name of the app is also not 'correct'. It shows up as 
org.ligi.android.dubwise. Same goes for k9mail or for example whatsapp. Other 
apps do appear in the list.

I think there is a problem with this release and SD card "not just the 
permissions".

I can get all my apps that were installed on the SD card working perfectly when 
I unmount and mount the SD card every time the phone reboots <<BUT>> the phone 
hangs as soon as it goes to standby or when I lock it my self. No button seems 
to wake the phone from standby while the card is mounted except for the volume 
up button which puts the phone in "Emergency Mode!" and I'm forced to take the 
battery off and plug it in again to restart.

The phone behaves normally with no problems (except for SD card apps) if I 
manually remove the SD card or leave it in the phone as UNMOUNTED.

My hunch is that it is related to the updated bootimage. I have tried switching 
the system back with the same new boot image. Still no luck. Switching back 
bootimage, resulted in instant bliss.

Checkout your cyanogenmod settings CM settings => Application
 1. Allow application moving
 2. Install location ("automatic" by default)
 3. Permission manager (introduced recently. disabled by default)

No install applications on SD. Can only be set after the forced re-connect SD.

@ste...@konink.de, how did you switch boot?

when I use the new system and new boot then install 509 boot the phone gets 
stuck at boot animation.

one other thing how can you power reset the device without battery removal 
(some key combination maybe?) while the phone is hanged or during boot

new boot, old system

1) Allow application moving is on
2) Install location is external
3) Permission manager was off, is now on. No change.

I then tried unmounting, remounting the SD card. Which in fact brought back 
life to the apps. It is a workaround I guess.

This is fixed with the latest boot. Thanks.
