I don't know whats going on with my slide. Whenever i do a wipe in recovery and install a cyanogen mod. It will still have the gapps installed even though i know it shouldn't since i have to flash them separately. Not sure why it doesnt seem to be wiping the phone correctly...any ideas?

Why are you trying to wipe gapps?
Gapps are in /system/app. When you wipe, you're wiping /data and /cache. Therefore, even though you flashed them separately, they are still there.
Thank you for that bit of info. I want to wipe everything as much as possible because i am having trouble getting a theme to work. when i apply it it just causes my phone to loop. When i would reflash 6.1.1 on my phone i assumed it would remove the gapps. When i would reflash cyanogen on my G1 it would do that making me have to reflash gapps, so i assumed my slide would do the same...
This was the theme i was trying to give a try:

Also just to double check. Because we dont have S-Off we cant use metamorph?

You cant use MM b/c of no S-OFF and you can use the wipe option in clockwork by going to partitions...From there you can wipe /system and other parts.
Also, you can't just use themes for other devices, because the framework-res.apk is device specific, which is why you're having issues.
All you have to do is reflash CM, and then Gapps, and you'll be fine. You don't even have to wipe.

I was having trouble installing GAPPS in Cyanogenmod 7 stable and I then tried installing an older version. Now I'm stuck with the Cyanogen skateboard screen that then goes to the Google welcome to PC36100-Touch the Android to begin. With and without touching it it goes back to the skateboard screen and continues the rotation. Any help please?
Boot loop, how fun. Wipe and flash.
How do I wipe and flash? I can't get past the above described screens?
Go into recovery, wipe data, cache, dalvik cache reflash the rom, then the gapps. Reboot. If your still getting loops, your either flashing the wrong zips, didnt wipe rigjt, or your data is corrupted. Download it again.
Oops let me add make a nandroid backup cause all your data on the phone will be deleted. Use an app like my backup or titanium back up to save your apps if you want.
Thanks I'll give it a try.
When I flash a new rom I only flash one thing at a time. Ex. Nand backup ... wipe ... flash Rom ... reboot ... wipe cache/dalvik ... flash gapps ... reboot ... wipe cache/dalvik ... flash theme ... etc. I know it takes longer but for me it is worth it because if I get a problem like a boot loop I know which thing is causing it. May not be perfect, may not be right, but works well for me
I always flashed everything at once. Wipe data/cache/dalvik/ flash Cm/gapps then reboot. But yea that's good advice also if there is a problem, I never thought of that.
I haven't had any problems flashing the 7 Stable, but I'm finding it really hard to install the GAPPS. Any ideas or suggestions?
Make sure you have the most up-to-date Gapps

When you flash CM7 and you wipe data/cache/dalvik do all of your contacts and apps come back?

the contacts and your apps will redownload from the market when you log in to your google account assuming you had the backup checked in the settings.
Ok Great- Thanks for your help.
I did all that, and I still don't have GAPPS. And can't seem to add Google sync.

Hey guys, I'm having this issue with cynogen skateboard screen over and over and I can't seam to stop it at all. I'm going into recovery mode but nothing seams to work. Can someone help please! Is there something I can install via hboot? I'm sort of a noob at this rooting stuff. Please help!
This is really bothering me. I've attempted to flash into MIUI but I am stuck on the boot screen and it's just staying there. I tried two different sources of MIUI, the latest being from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915527 - the thread for MIUI Evo 4G.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong and I don't know how to make this work. This has been my first try at installing a custom ROM. I already have a backup readily available.
I have tried removing my battery and restarting the phone. How do I fix my problem?
Edit: I have tried clearing dalvik cache and data cache. No go.
Gad the same prob... but didnt bother to ask... i just loaded cm7.. but i would like to try miui lol

I'll first ask the usual question: did you wipe everything (factory reset/wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, system, boot, and sd android secure) before flashing the new ROM?
And have you tried to download from this site?
http://miui.us/
Use amon RA recovery, flash a format all zip (you can find it with a quick search) and then flash miui
Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.
Well i messed up oin this one, i tried to put a new lockscreen onto my EVO and deleted the .apk, and now im in a bootloop can anyone help me get out of this? is my phone screwed, and if i unroot can i still take it to sprint so they can fix it?

Flash the same ROM you were using. It should restore things. If that does not work, then just do a full wipe.
I already attempted to do a full wipe, and i was on the 2.3.3 stock ROM still. Maybe im missing how to do the full wipe, i am quite new to this, but dont you go into recovery mod and wipe everything through there because that sent me into boot loop again

Yes you wipe partitions in Recovery. Once you do that all you have to do is reflash the ROM.
This link will take you to the latest EVO Stock ROMs available:

I would pick the ODEX option.
PM me if I could be of more help.
Good Luck
If reflashing your ROM doesnt work then you most likely did something else that you didnt realize.
Well i wiped bloody everything haha. Trying ROM flash now, would it be ok if i tried to flash an entirely new ROM?
Yeah flash a brand new ROM and see if that fixes the problem. If it doesnt then you may have screwed something else up. Or there is some kind of hardware malfunction going on with your motherboard.
Once wiped, flash a ROM. You must wipe before flashing a ROM. Wipe system, cache, dalvik cache, data before flashing. I think one other but I forget

reflashing a new rom ,maybe can solve the problem^
So i have flashed for awhile and never have encountered this problem. i was on lbj7 i went back to stock. did Ota upgrade to 4.1.2, rerooted flashed another rom and now all it does is forceclose. How do i clean the system completly so i can reflash a fresh clean install. I normally wipe Delvik+cache+ factory what else can i include to insure i have a 100% clean flash?. Any and all help is appreciated thanks!
Wipe internal storage will erase anything on the internal just as it states. What ROM are you trying to flash? Also what recovery do you have and is it up to date. If you want the ultimate clean install I do this, make sure the and if you need gasps or any other file is on the external card
Wipe data, cache, dalvick, system this removes the ROM, internal and maybe even format data. Flash ROM wipe cache and dalvick and if you need to gasps the wipe cache and dalvick the boot. But make sure your recovery is up to date, I use twrp which is on 2.4.4 right now. And you have the correct gasps if needed. Good luck.

To install TWRP the easiest way just download Goomanager from the Play Store here https://play.google.com/store/apps/...anager&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd open it go to settings and select Install OpenRecoveryScript, This will download and install TWRP's newest recovery. You could also check the md5sum to see if it's a good download. Sometimes the files that you download are corrupted but I have never had it happen, and I have flashed endless amounts of ROMs on different phones, but it happens people say. I am unfamiliar with that specific ROM but try searching in the thread for it to see if anyone else has had similar experiences and have a way to fix it. Searching is your friend, search and read a lot will ussually solve your problem, and if you don't turn up anything don't be afraid to ask a question instead of doing something that might be unsafe or worries you.
I did as u suggested and just tried re flashing using Twrp. Awaiting Results as first boot aproaches. Thanks again for the helping hand.
Just a heads up. Try and hit the thanks button on these forums if people help you in any way. I don't really care about it but it helps some people especially devs and what not.
[Q] Help? I get this when flashing a new rom "Unfortunately setup wizard has stopped"
I have a Galaxy s3 and I have twrp installed. And so far I have tried flashing 4 or 5 different custom roms and every time I end up getting this message "Unfortunately setup wizard has stopped" and then some message about ".com.goolge gpapps has stopped".
I am flashing the rom's and gapps from trwp. And I get the success comment after both the rom and gapps flash. I then restart/reboot and the new rom's custom boot animation comes up, like with cm10 the blue clockwork logo spins, and then after 10 or 20 seconds I get the two error messages and thats its. And when I flashed liquid smooth, I got the Liquid Smooth boot animation.as well and the the two messages. I eventually get my phone tuned off and I get it booted back into twrp and restore my backup to my stock rooted setup which is what I currently have running and so far is the only thing I can get to boot up. I have tried cm10 nightlies from the past week and cm10 stable and liquidsmooth, and a couple others. I downloaded several from goo.manager but i most recently tried a cm nightly i downloaded directly from clockworks site.
Any Idea's. I have seen a couple other threads on other devices with a similar problem but most seemed to have the wrong gapps, and I am using the most current gapps, i even downloaded it from multiple sources to double check.
Does the fact my phone is android 4,1,1 and most these roms are 4.1.2 or newer matter? And if so what is the fix?

Are you wiping system and data before flashing? This is most likely your issue.

Ok what you have to try is this.
Boot into recovery and wipe system and data (removes settings so you will need to reset up everything) They wipe delvic cache and normal cache, then flash the rom and the proper gapps for the rom.

On the wipe screen in twrp there is a system option but for data it says format data? Do I need to wipe "system" and "format data"? or does the wipe system option take care of what i need to do? If I need to also select "format data" which do I do first ? format data or system wipe? will i need to wipe cache or dalvik as well, or will those be wiped in the system wipe? Sorry for all the ?'s I am a real noob at all of this.

No wiping the system doesnt format the data partition. Wipe system then format the data and then wipe the caches and then flash the rom.

Most rom threads have a download link to the gapps that work with the version of android that specific rom is on. Look in the rom thread for the one you're currently running. There are different gapps for each android version (4, 4.1, 4.2)
I have that same problem too
I was trying to install new roms for my phone i tried liquid smooth and avatar and CM 10. I also tried install a new kernel and also different recoveries but nothing seems to work. I never "dirty" flashed and i use the right gapps. Someone please help me here i hate stock roms!
No matter what Gapps version I've tried I still get this same error. This occurred after trying out the Dark ROM modeled after CM11, but now no matter what ROM I try, this error still occurs. The only time I was ever able to get passed it was using a backup, but that has mysteriously gone AWOL. With that in mind, has anyone actually figured this out? Is there anyone with any USEFUL input? So far all I'm seeing is a bunch of suggestions that don't work.

Is your recovery updated to the latest version? Do the roms you are trying support the recovery you are using?

I use the latest CWM. I'm a creature of habit. The first Samsung I ever put a custom ROM on was done with CWM, so I stick with it. I finally got it to go, but it constantly froze, tried to reset, stuck with the same issue. Never used TWRP, so if someone could actually point me in the right direction, that'd actually be helpful.

I have no idea how to use TWRP...it only lists a .img file and no instructions on how to use it. zip files can be used from the bootloader or recovery. WTF am I supposed to do with an .img file. And it can't be to use the terminal emulator because to do that I would have to be able to get passed the Setup Wizard...which is the issue.
I finally figured it out with CWM. Thankfully. The phone would've went flying otherwise.
If anyone else stumbles upon this thread (so they can find the answer for CWM also), you have to format the device from the CWM Recovery to get rid of the crap that is blocking it. I did the following:
Once in CWM Recovery, Remove your SD card to avoid formatting it by accident.
Use the Volume Key to scroll to "mounts and storage".
Format all existing options (this is why the SD needed to be removed); this will blank out the phone's system which was causing the Setup issue to begin with.
Put your SD card with the ROM to be installed back into the phone.
Follow the guide as normal after this (install ROM, then reboot, then KK_gapps, then wipe the two caches, then reboot.)
