[Q] CM7 Issue - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been following the CM7 nightly builds on my Incredible with no issues at all, I love it.
The problem I've been having is my girlfriend has an incredible as well and wanted to try out CM7. Rooted her phone no problem, installed the free copy of ROM manager (I have the paid, was wondering if maybe thats where the issue was coming into play) and dropped the latest nightly onto her SD Card.
When I install the ROM manually through recovery (wiped both dalvik and cache first) the ROM gets to the CM7 logo and then just sticks there, looping the logo over and over.
I restore the backup of sense, then install the ROM via Rom Manager's "Install ROM from SD Card" option, choose to wipe data and cache and it installs and boots no problem..or so it seems at first.
Even after repeated attempts at installing there are a lot of random issues that I never ran into at all. Every time she'll have a few contacts missing, and the bigger issue - she can't launch Facebook or any apps that have Facebook (Tweetdeck etc) they just force close instantly. Many other apps seem to just force close at random as well.
I installed CM6.1 just to see if it had any similar issues but it went smooth. I've run out of ideas so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Once it boots up, go into rom manager and fix permissions.

First, how long did was the boot animation going for CM7? My first install of CM7 took anywhere between 5-10 minutes of the logo looping (shocked the mess out of me cuz I never sat so long for a load). Maybe giving another nightly a try and waiting out the initial boot will resolve all issues. Personally, I flash rom's manually and have had little to no issues.
Second, maybe this was a specific nightly issue. I was running nightly #31 then switched to #36 and both ran perfectly. Try reflashing the rom and wiping everything again. Also, if your contacts ARE NOT stored under her gmail account this may be the reason you observe missing contact. All her contacts linked to her gmail should instantly reinstall each time you flash a rom/nightly/etc.
Did this help?

[Q] HTC desire Cyanogen Mod 7 "New Market" Problem

I recently flashed the new Cyanogen mod 7 nightly and The new google apps. As I started to experiment with this rom, I noticed that i cannot download any market apps at all. Whenever i press download, the "downloading" notification would pop up for like a second or two and it would then disappear. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
-Dan
Did you try to clear data and cache for the market? That might help. It does not seem like a CM7 issue as it is working perfectly here.
Yeah I have tried that actually. Still the same problem..
Wipe all the data including both caches, flash the build and then flash the apps. Things are working fine with the CM7 builds since I use it. Maybe a radio update if your not up to date ish?
Same Issue
I'm having the same issue on my HD2 Typhoon Cyanogen 7. I was able to download apps from the market for about an hour, right after first launch - now (3 hours later), nothing. I don't have the ability to click 'clear cache' for the Market and I can't seem to download from the online market, either. I don't know whether I should try to clean-install Typhoon or switch to another ROM - or if this problem will just 'go away'. If anyone has further advice, or wants any info from my device, please send me a message.
Update: ROM Manager won't do anything, but I'm not too worried about that. Booting while holding 'Power' gets me to the Bootloader, from there I can get to the Clockwork Recovery. I tried 2 fresh wipes of Typhoon CM7 before throwing in the towel. Another ROM installed and I can download anything I want from the Market.
Ditto here. I installed on a full wipe and market is not working. Are you using wifi or 3g?

I have the same problem, i tried to solve it doing everything (uninstalling and reinstalling market, full wipe, re-flash the rom) but nothing.
I noticed that every time i re-flash the rom market works for a period but than gets stuck !
- download "zipsigner" from market
- select the new market apk (the one that didn't install and fc's)
- select "platform" as key/mode
- sign the file
the resulting apk can be installed as every apk
cc to c3k
wel then you are one of the lucky ones i have tried wipe cache wipe delvick cache reinstall nothing works

I have your same problem on DHD CyanogenMod 7 RC2 (uninstalling and reinstalling market, full wipe, re-flash the rom) but the Market don't work!
I got the same problem and solved it by simply wiping my device (Desire) again without flashing CM7 (RC1) again.

could you be more specific on 'wiping'? how did you do it? having the same problem here.
EDIT: reflashed rom and wiped data and cache. market is now working.
EDIT AGAIN: market only worked to download GAPPS eg gmail, youtube, google maps etc etc. when tried to download other apps, a prompt comes up saying "the process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. please try again."
Hi,
Had the same problem, with cyanogen Mod 7.
First with stock (cyanogen) Market, then even after updating with the new market 2.3.4. Always the same, trying to connect and failure when downloading, no FC at all.
I just solved the problem by flashing again the radio 5.14.05.17 ! (I had this one before flashing Cyanogen and all the other communications were ok, except the market downloads so I didn't think it could come from there ...)
Hope it helps you
I simply solved this problem thanks Titanium Backup that takes back the Market (app+data). Obviusly you had had a backup!
EDIT: doesn't work...after reboot market doesn't exist... I've to rebuild it from TB every time.. that sucks
RE-EDIT: finally works!! I installed it from a backup and then I started it after flashing again gapps(if you don't have a backup you can unzip gapps.zip on pc then move the apk vending to the phone: install it with a file explorer) Then I entered my gmail username and psw(<--- important step) and now it works great! I've made also a reboot to test it.
Solved Problem
After flashing gapps, i had the same problem....
Try a restart - It worked for me!
Yeah, I have the same problem with my freshly installed, latest stable CM (7.0.3-desire). Not all downloads are affected, it's about a third to half of them. If I get the apk file in some other way, installing it works fine. It's just the download from the market server that stops after a second or so (or perhaps never even starts properly).
I've tried to clear market cache, tried rebooting, tried versions 2.3.3 and 2.3.6 of Market app, to no avail.
When you guys say "flash this" or "flash that", does that mean "update"?

i've manage to fix it.
first i backed up my SD card, partition it with ROM Manager, downloaded S2E from the market, check Download Cache, reboot. done. anything and everything can be downloaded now.
I managed to fix with re-flashing CM 7.03 and wiping data. For a couple of days it worked properly. Now from time to time it happens again and the only solution is restarting the phone. Probably I found a similar problem when I tried to install Cut the rope apk from my sd card, CM just did a warm boot. After a several try I restarted my phone and installation worked like a charm. Any thoughts?
what do you mean by using the term "flashing" ?
I am a noob and I am having the same problem too.

[Q] CM7-RC4 Market Closses right after starting

Hi
I just flashed over to RC4, wiped the card and the cache before flashing it. When I start up the Market, it instantly closes. I have flashed other roms in the past and never seen this happen.
Thanks for any help
Next time search..
Go to settings>applications>find market clear cache/data
If that doesn't work, reflash gapps (make sure you get the right ones, the most recent)

OmniROM 4.4 Randomly Crashes

Hey,
Sorry if this not the place for posting this.
I followed this "Guide: and installed the Rom
Flashed TWRP 2.6.3 with odin from the Toolkit (selected the TWRP instead the one in the toolkit folder) FR and FS, Installed the Rom without any problem, rebooted again into dev mod, installed Google Apps, DATA WIPE, Reboot and SuperSU. Everything works grate.
The only (biggest) problem is that it crushes randomly. Cleared cache and delvik cache, after "opt apps" complete - Nothing helps. It's not a specific app it can crash on idle too. After holding power and rebooting everything come to normal
I did search on those threads but I can't find someone with this issue. Again, The OS itself crash - not an app.
Anyone can help?
Same random freezes here on my N7100.
Mine seems lock up/freeze more often when I have WiFi on.
I tried everything possible, every tweak in Android Tuner, still a no go.
At the moment, I'm on the 11/28 nightly after using Homebrew. Both present the same issue.
Just flashed 11/28. No apps installed.
Im also experience the crashes on Omnirom first dec nightly. Specially twitter. FC on launch.
I've got to say, I don't know what I did but the FC's stopped. There some minor App's getting FC's but that better then the issue.
Although maybe changing form delvik to art did something, My guess the problem is in the gapps, and after some updates the sys stabilized...
I still don't know the exact cause or the way to solve it...:S

[Q] Incredible reinstall CM7.2, gapps issue, and Force Close problems

I have been very thankful for CM7.2 and my rooted Droid Incredible. Its been a great phone for me and saved me tons of money by staying a great device to use. However I recently ran into some issues that made me think I needed to do a factory reset, wipe, and reinstall CM 7.2 and google apps.
So I downloaded the CM 7.2 for droid Inc and the gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip file. I did a factory reset from within the phone privacy settings and rebooted into recovery using Rom Manager. I then wipe the data and cache and installed CM 7.2 and then the google apps. After a restart though, the google apps had not installed and I got multiple force closes. In addition, all the google accounts were still saved which I didn't expect since I had done a factory reset and wiped all the data. Even the Wifi passwords were still saved because I didn't have to enter any to access wifi. Some apps were still installed as well like Contacts +. So it seems like something didn't go right with the install.
If I installed gmail, google voice, etc from Google Play store on my phone, then I would get a Package Installer error and it would force close causing the app to not install. I could install apps to my phone using the Google Play store website on a computer. When I restarted my phone though all the newly installed apps would be gone and I would have to install them again. I made sure I was installing them to the phone and not the SD Card as well.
Other things aren't working right either. For instance the adw.launcher home button doesn't take me back to the default home screen. Pushing the button I get haptic feedback but no action for it. No setting for it under "settings" caused any change.
I did clear data on the google play store thinking that would help with the install of the apps but that didn't help either. I still get force close issues.
I am at a loss at this point and not sure what to do next.

[Q] Gio + Cyanogen 11 - Wifi

Hello all,
I need some advice. I have tried CM11 roms and Gapps packages, only to break the keyboard or break the audio or severely ruin something, or have no working market place (google play)
I finally got everything working perfect and rebooted to do a nandroid and now the wireless is greyed out and will never turn on. I wiped and started over, setup my phone rebooted, wireless stopped working. I have come to realize that I can never reboot or power down or i have to wipe my phone and start over, as wifi is effectively permanently disabled, I have tried clearing cache and data on the settings app, i have tried rebooting, using CWM recovery menu to "Fix permission" or try reverting to previous backups like the ones i took after i setup my phone, but they no longer have wifi since i rebooted them too. for some ridiculous reason. I cannot ever reboot, run out of battery, etc,.. or i have to reformat and reconfigure all my settings its driving me insane. I've spent a few days with holding swears and refraining from throwing the phone lol.
Please help
I used KitKat 4.4.2 (CyanogenMod 11.0) 20140116 From NovaFusion and i found a Gio-Gapps-4.4.2.zip online it appears to be the only combination that isn't a total horrendous broken mess without audio, keyboard or play store can't even find google servers. Please any recommendation for fixing my wifi or maybe links to an updated or better version of cm would work?
P.S. Jenkins CM11 just says (Status 0) Installation Exiting, and won't install either.
For latest cm11(from jenkins maybe), u need CWM 6.0.5.3 recovery.
Thank you very much =), I have a new problem now though. I installed CWM from the link you gave me and Jenkins installed, then i factory reset, wiped cache, and wiped dalvik, and rebooted. The Setupwizard crashes though and I can't go any further, I tried flashing Gio-KK-Gapps-4.4.0.zip and rebooted and its still crashes. Any advice?
Follow this process:
1. Do a clean install of cm11.
2. Reboot & wait for home screen.
3. Switch off & then flash G-Apps.
4. Reboot.
If still force close occurs, just press home button & wait until home screen appears.
Or u may try different G-Apps.:thumbup:
Hope this helps...!!
Btw...there's thanks button for ur ease
Everything works except the keyboard, but i uninstalled the keyboard and used ADB to install a new one. Thank you very much for your help =)!
ur welcome bro
