so basically i installed firefox today, and before that i installed some other apps off ovistore.

and ever since i had firefox installed, i keep getting 'error, photo application closed' and errors like that.

most of the widgets i had on the desktop keep disappearing, and the phone become very unstable (sometimes fast sometimes slow)

and just for matters of interest, when i open firefox, everything become really slow and laggy, when i closed it everything went back to normal.

now that i have uninstalled firefox, nothing seem to be solved, im still getting errors every now and then , widgets are still closing itself off.

please can anyone shred me some light? is there a clash of apps somewhere?

thanks

Have you installed the custom kernel? revert to 27 -- 28 has bugs.

If not, give us more information in return we will give you better answers.

"went mental" -

Try uninstalling Firefox and the kernel flasher, then revert back to the standard kernel if you can:

Code:

apt-get install --reinstall kernel kernel-flasher

(as root)

Try this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=52868
that file you installed is part of the power kernel.

open xterminal

become root

Code:

sudo gainroot

Code:

root

if this does not work you need to install rootsh with app-manager first

STEP 1: uninstall the power-flasher

Code:

dpkg -r kernel-power-flasher

STEP 2: reinstall stock(this one after the previous succeeded)

Code:

apt-get --reinstall install kernel kernel-flasher

If everything went well, you reboot and be fine again!

If firefox still messes up uninstall it and reinstall from ovi again.

I would consider "dpkg -P" instead of "dpkg -r" for complete uninstallation. I would also try "dpkg --configure -a" and "apt-get autoremove" in case something not got installed or uninstalled properly.

And the most important thing.. the one i would do last is.

apt-get install --reinstall kernel kernel-flasher

To revert back to the stock kernel. In other case he would probably get a reboot loop.
