Try wiping data/system,cache partition, and dalvik 3x and reinstall. If that doesn't work, really download the ROM. Didn't do that for me. But...check his new rom..Urban Fury...

Just did all that and it's all good now.

Is there a bug with browser??

Ok so im having issues with the browser. On calkulins 2.8.1 i touch the browser icon and it locks me out (black screen). My work around lock and unlock until the lockscreen appears then i unlock and quickly press the home button, because if i dont it locks me out and i get a black screen! Unfortunately its happening also on the Blend rom! So as im typing this i just remembered it did not use calkulins format all zip! Could that be the issue? I personally dont think so but would lile to hear what you guys think and if you are also experiencing this issue also!! If theres already a post on this ill delete this thread!
Thanks in advance!!

If you are having it on different roms but aren't wiping between flashes that's probably your problem. Use the format all and reflash. Then report back.

Actually doing it manually i go to wipe data then wipe cache then wipe davlik you know were im going with this! But that my method i use wen i flash another rom! Im going to flash Blazer rom and flash the format all zip as of now! Will report back if this is an issue! Odd thing is no one else said they have this issue maybe i do need to flash format all zip... And i thought i knew it all lol

I have this issue on all roms I try. I've wiped everything and gone back to stock but still no luck. I opened a thread on this a while ago but no answer. My only solution was to use another browser. I use boat browser as an alternative.
Sent from my SAMSUNG IMPALER 4G
Yes FLASH Calkulins format all zip and as of now im on Blazer ROM and stock browser seems to work! Maybe that format all was the key... So far so good FOR NOW THAT IS.... Hmmm will continue to test the browser functionality...

Was it just the shortcut km a home screen? Or from the drawer too? I get this problem at times on my home screen. Deleting the shortcut and making a new one usually fixes it.
No not a short cut!!.... Im reporting that the format all zip cleared that issue for me! 6hrs of testing and still no issue not complaining lol

Rule of thumb. When wiping dalvik/cash allways do it three times. I never use wipe all script and have never had an issue. Im just oldschool I guess.

if you don't format your system before flashing a new rom, you will have problems like that..
wiping cache/data/dalvik is NOT enough..you must format your system...

Phone just suddenly started rebooting on me today!!

I have had this phone for a good 7 months now and never once has it rebooted but today it rebooted 2 times in a matter of 30 minutes. What could be causing this? I am running Phantom Hackers blazer rom with stock el26 kernal and el29 modem. I did not make any changes to the phone not even any new app downloads or changes in settings. What could be the problem?
Try wiping cache and dalvik in recovery . If that doesn't help all I can think is a fresh install.

Ya, I just did that I will let ya know how it goes. Thanks for the advice though. Is wiping the delvic and cache something that should be done every once in a while? I know with my evo I had to every couple days or the phone would lag down to nothing..
If you never wipe eventually ur phone will freeze.. if it doesnt work u will have to do a clean install. A clean install will work wonders if its been 7months without cleaning your phone lol no wonder its rebooting

Well I have flashed multiple roms in that time frame I was just saying it had never rebooted. After clearing the caches it seems to be doing good so far though.

The clearing of cache and delvic seemed to do the trick. It hasnt rebooted once since. Has only been a couple hours but it looks good so far.

What recovery are you on?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Vital? You don't need a super wipe. And you only need the cache wipe if you're using CWM5. If you don't know how to properly wipe..
1. Wipe Factory data reset
2. Wipe cache
3. go into mounts and storage
4. Wipe system
5. Wipe data
6. Wipe cache
7. Go to advanced
8. Wipe dalvik cache
Simple eh? Is this your first device? Super wipe scripts are very uncommon. Better that you learn how to do it the old fashion way for your next handset than rely on a shortcut.
But... if you insist. Google the derek jay source forge. Its in there in dark side tools. There's a reason he discontinued them.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
What he said.. I recommend upgrading to the newest cwm or twrp recoveries if you haven't done so yet.. The superwipe scripts are not needed on them
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Well I guess the Koodo version of this phone is **** because Ive done a factory wipe twice and wiped the system partition twice then wiped cache and dalvik twice each then flashed PA ROM and CM10 and neither of them will go past bootloop, but hey aokp works fine except for random reboots and rare sod's.
Just saying, I know what Im doing btw guy
and yes 5.0.2.6 cwm

Thederekjay has move on, and he has removed the link to his creation "superwipe" ,development of the superwipe is discontinued. If you really need a copy of it, you can PM him (nicely).

I understand that but don't take it so personal.. CWM 6+ is in the development section or flash twrp all your bootloop problems should be gone!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Ive always been a CWM guy.. but TRWPs wipe is much more convenient. All wipe options are on the same screen and they work pretty quick. There's a flashable zip somewhere in the twrp thread. Flashing it through goomanager is a pain. Also how exactly are you wiping? The only way I know to get a boot loop is to wipe your cache and dalvik after flashing the ROM or you're on CWM 5.0.2.7.

My bad, I didn't know you were a sensitive chick.
So I went to the Google.com, it's this private website, and typed in "Darkside super wipe" and the first link that came up was this one:

There's a download link.

+1 I switched to TWRP and never looked back.

Aaanyways I was about 3 letters and the enter button away from switching to twrp when I wondered what will happen to my old restores, I need one

Unfortunately cwm restores do not work with twrp.. That may be a deciding factor in which recovery you use..

Flashing kernels?

Are there any steps I do to flash a new kernel? Like wipe the cache or anything?
And let's say I have the deviant kernel, how can I switch to the faux kernel?
Thanks in advance!

I'm still pretty new to all this stuff, from what I've read, it's all different, noone ever is really specific, which is annoying imo. And a lot of guides/tutorials are very vague. Step by step guide, my ass, lol. I think if ur flashing a new rom, u wanna do data, system, cache and dalvik. If ur jus restoring a backup, I think all you need is factory data reset which is basically data, cache and dalvik. But hey, WTF do I know, hopefully someone can fill us in, I originally posted that link, because I remembered it because it was the only one that was pretty specific. Good luck man.

In almost any ROM i have ever flashed its been recommended to wipe System,Data,Cache,Deviant Cache Before you flash the Rom after you flash the ROM wipe Cache, Deviant Cache.
With Kernels wipe Cache,Deviant Cache Before and again after.
Just in my experiences.
