This just started today in the middle of the day at work, for no particular reason. ADW and Swype crash in an unending loop, and any app I launch including gapps and native apps crashes immediately upon launch.

I tried fixing permissions in recovery mode, didn't help. I would try to run an update but ROM Manager also crashes, and I'm already running the most recent stable update anyway. Has anybody else run into this?

Just got the same thing. The only solution I can think of is to back everything up, wipe /system and /data, and start over. I'd really rather not have to do that.

I think I just fixed it. Reboot into recovery and wipe your cache partition. Worked for me.

When I go to recovery, I don't have the option to wipe my partition cache. What should I do? The top of the menu write HBoot and I have ROM Manager, but can't acecss it because it keeps crashing. When I access the bootloader menu from the recovery screen, green text appears with the line 'image not found!' at the end of every other line. For all intents and purposes, my smartphone has become a dumbphone over night :-(

Kenoski: i think your running into the same thing a bunch of us are, there is a thread a couple of click up that talks about app cache cleaning and such that may help you.  It may also be that your like me, have alot of apps on the phone, and it's time to re-flash the ROM , reisnstall critical apps, and do some house cleaning

Is there any more information on this or is it being investigated as a bug? This problem has afflicted my phone multiple times and it is very frustrating. I will now try formatting the cache partition when this happens, but that seems like only a temporary fix.

Part of the reason I switched to Cyanogenmod from the stock Android OS was because of a similar issue. Many users like myself have a message appear on their phone saying App Data space is low. This error appears when there is plenty of data space still available on the phone, but until you reduce app data, it prevents GMail from syncing and can potentially delete all text messages. I was constantly deleting my Facebook data, which would force me to login every time I started the app.

I expected Cyanogenmod to not have this problem, but instead I keep running into this similar issue that is triggered also by how many apps I have installed and how much data space they're using. I reduced significantly the number of apps I have installed and I have reflashed and restored from Titanium multiple times and yet the problem keeps coming back.

Booting into Recovery and formatting the cache partition doesn't affect this problem at all on my phone. After the phone rebooted, all my apps crashed immediately and any app I tried to open crashes as well. I have removed some apps, not to mention I am already using fewer apps than I have had installed when this problem surfaced previously. However, the problem is still persisting, so I am going to have to reflash the ROM and restore from Titanium.

i used to get this. something about only having 150mb in the data partition left, or something like that. moved several apps to sd card and the problems went away. try to get 200 mb free in the data area
