Stopping applications force closing in Android tablets

This is example for View sonic Gtablet


Symptoms:

Many people have this issue with the stock tablet. Everything may work fine, then all of a sudden you will get applications force closing all over. You can do a fresh install of TnT stock, with a factory reset, and still get the FC's.


Issue:

We don't know exactly what it is, but is related to something in the /data partition causing issues that a regular wipe doesn't fix. For most people this fix will only need to be done once for the life of your tablet.



Solution:

Warning, this will wipe your Data and internal sdcard(meaning backups are gone)
1) Copy your backups/data from your internal sdcard to your computer
2) clockwork Install clockwork
3) Boot into clockwork by holding volume+ and power until you see the black text pop up
4) Go to the advanced menu
5) Select Partition SDCARD
6) Select 2048 for first option presented
7) Select 0 for second option presented
8) Apply the settings and wait for it to be finished
9) Go back to main menu and do a factory reset to be safe
10) Reboot, and hopefully no more force closes

    You can unzip and you will find  update.zip and recovery folder.

    pls check there is a file in the folder.

    pls copy this 2 items to internal memory or to SD card. 

    you can chose flash  with sd card or internal memory.

    Step 2: Turn off your device. Once it is completely shut down, you will have to press and hold a specific combination of buttons to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery. You can find out this combination for your device by searching on your favorite search engine.

    Step 3: Once inside ClockworkMod Recovery, take a nandroid backup. This is a precautionary measure.

    Step 4: Once backup is complete, navigate to install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > [.zip file you transferred in step 1] to flash ClockworkMod Touch Recovery.
