CyanogenMod 6.0.2 - Email Force Close
This week I managed to
brick my phone, then with help
unbrick it, and like an
ID10T, I messing with it again.
After getting it fixed yesterday, I reinstalled CyanogenMod 6.0.2. Lo and behold, those Email Force Close errors showed up again. Great.
Fortunately I use GMail, so it doesn't really affect me, but it is very annoying.
With a trick I learned yesterday, I decided to see what was going on.
The trick is the Android Debug Bridge, or ADB. Among other things, it allows you to run shell commands
on your phone. Since I have had Ubuntu for close to 2 years now, I'm naturally a Linux expert (quit laughing).
The specific command I am talking about is logcat. You plug your phone in, run
adb logcat and you can
see what's going on...it's a log file.
With it turned on, I went to applications and selected Email.
Sorry! The application Email (process com.android.email) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.I then checked the log output...and what could it be? I'm thinking it's some sort of java error, but after reading more closely...
I/Database(19754): sqlite returned: error code = 1, msg = no such column: accountColor
D/AndroidRuntime(19754): Shutting down VM
W/dalvikvm(19754): threadid=1: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x4001d7e0)
E/AndroidRuntime(19754): FATAL EXCEPTION: main
What's that? Database? Really?
A little further down:
E/AndroidRuntime(19754): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create service
com.android.exchange.SyncManager: android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: no such column:
accountColor: , while compiling: SELECT

senderName,
ringtoneUri,
protocolVersion,
newMessageCount,
securityFlags,
securitySyncKey,

FROM Account
(formatted for better readability)
So someone forgot to add a column? Nice.
Now I know I can put a database on there, I'll be more likely to write something for it. :)
