I loaded the syndacite rom about 2 weeks ago and i love it. Yesterday i started gettign this error. "twlauncher has stopped unexpectedly". I try to force close it over and over again and even a reboot doesn't work. I reboot twice and it appears a few times then i'm able to use my phone again. Anyone know what the problem is? I used the syndacite fully loaded rom.

I can't even get to settings. I can only pull down the the menu with the WIFI and GPS settings. any tips on how to get into settings? I keep on getting twlauncher has stopped over and over again.
If you can't open settings, try going into CWM > Advanced, and fixing permissions. Can also clear caches, and if that doesn’t work, reflash the ROM.
Actually, just curious. What happens when you try to go into settings? Does the menu come up to enter settings, does it FC when you open?
i couldn't open applications. Everytime I tried in between hitting force close it would just flash then come back and reload over and over again. I had the bright idea of pulling the battery and then it wouldn't boot at all. Had to reflash the ROM. Now need to reinstall all my apps. lol

If this happens in the future, hold down the search key and say something to search for, this should take you to the browser. Search for and download launcherpro, zeam, or another launcher you don't already have. After it installs, hit home and choose the new launcher, then you can clear data for touchwiz. This happened to me when I had one homescreen on touchwiz and it was full, and an app tried to automatically add a shortcut.

It sounds like a bad reflash though. I've had that, where it FCs so repeatedly that I can't do anything at all. When you have it all set the way you want, make a CWM Nandroid backup, and then restore that backup to turn journaling back on... then battery pulls won't affect you.
You made my day!

What a simple and elegant solution! This error showed up for me last night, and then completely ruined my morning. After searching countless forums and finding nothing but overly technical instructions containing so much jargon I had to search forums to figure out what the instructions meant....I nearly threw my phone up against the wall. Just before I was about to restore to factory settings, I found this thread and these instructions worked PERFECTLY!!! I am not a gadget guy and had a Sanyo Katana that was held together with tape until a month ago, so this solution was right up my alley! I actually registered on this site simply to say thanks. Hopefully the Thanks button will show up after I make this post so I can hit it until my finger blisters.
Props here as well

Thanks to k0nane as well. Once I got LauncherPro to download with zanderman's intructions this helped me clear and reload touchwiz.

Oh God bless you, zanderman112. I thought I was going to have to reset my mom's new phone after I finally finished setting it up and she just started getting used to it.

Sorry to drag up an old thread, but I can't find any help on this thru searches, so here goes:
Does SynFro 1.1.0 clash with CWM5?
My Epic been on Bonsai 4.0.1 (CWM 3.0.0.6, ext4, golauncherex) for a long time. I used Rom manager to update CWM to 5, and to flash the ROM Syndicate Fro_fully loaded 1.1.0 . Seemed to run fine at 1st (hr or so) then while DL'ing a goLauncherex from market, the system froze. after battery pull and reboot, I had constant FC's. Booting into recovery from Rom manager lead to a generic Android recovery system (instead of CWM).
Powered off, 3 fingered into CWM, which suddenly had reverted to v3.0.0.6 . Tried to restore Bonsai, but only got error msgs ("syste.img not found. skipping restore of /system" same with data, android_secure, cache, sd-ext, etc. )
Had to triple wipe (data,cache, dalvik), reflash my bonsai rom and re-update CWM to 5 to get back to a normal functioning phone.
If the issue here seems to be conflicts between older roms clashing with newer CWM versions, is there a way to check which ROMs require which CWM?
thanks for your time.

Gonna try to help.
Both SFR and bonsai are oollldddd roms. SFR froze up because it isn't journaled. I highly recommend using ODIN to get to stock EC05, then update to EL30. Then use qbking77s "How to root Samsung epic 4g gingerbread" video to get CWM and root.
CWM 5 can flash any Rom, but those roms in particular are so old and buggy.

I've got you man.
What you need to do is direct your attention to this thread right here by DRockstar: RECOVERY] ClockworkMod 5.0.2.7 BML Officially supported by ROM Manager
What you had done wrong was you installed through Rom Manager, which is a temporary flash ontop of CWM 3, it in itsellf is not CWM 5 installed. Within that thread you've a choice of an update zip of CWM 5 or a Odin tar, CWM zip is preferrable. But otherwise you should be fine. The zip from within that thread is more final.

Ok, I got the real CWM5 zip, flashed, now all roads lead to CWM5, so that part is fine. And I stopped trying those olds ROMs , tried to flash SynIce.
My Epic runs Bonsai4.0.1, I did the triple wipe and then flashed the rom (from CWM5) but I get the following:
SYN Ice Logo
"Take a shower, pick an outfit, put on some smell good, call my crew.."
then the yellow bar freezes about 15% into its progress. it eventually kicks back out to CWM. no msgs or errors to share. I dont have access to Odin (or a PC) and Heimdall wont recognize my epic....any1 having similar probs? is it my kernel? I see suggestions sometimes to use Odin to switch from "EC05" to "EL30"...i thought flashing the ROMs changed your base ROM (DK28, EL13, etc) to the one it needed....is that not the case?

Dude really SynIce is SRF lol wow how did that not click.
So I've been running MIUI for half a year. Just now I flashed the supersonic stock sense ROM 4.22.651.2, so I can update my radios, etc.
After I updated my profile and PRI, I turned off the phone then went to hold the power and volume - down and the recovery white screen isnt coming up.
Once I release the power, it boots up with the spring 4g bootlogo.
did I do something wrong? Please someone help
Sorry, please delete thread. I believe I figured it out.
Just installed ROM manager from the market and selected reboot into recovery. Now installing the radio combo update. Then ill flash my backup from my MIUI NANDROID.
Hopefully this helped someone else
You need to uncheck fastboot in settings. I'm not sure exactly where, but if you'll look at the posts in Q&A you'll see the question asked and answered multiple times.
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
Fastboot setting is in Settings > Applications
Thanks to you both. I guess I've been away from Sense for so long that was a new feature added.. Oh well!
I partitioned my sd card and flashed Synergy. Every time navigate from my home screen , I press the home or back button I get the htc screen. Then my phone loads to my home screen. How can I fix this , its getting annoying ?
I was having the same issue, the thing that I think helped out was to go into amon ra recovery, reflash the Rom **without wiping anything**, reboot phone let it simmer for a couple minutes, going back to recovery and fixing uid mismatches under other, try that and see if it works
http://infectedrom.com/showthread.php/426-Sense-Reloads
This is a known issue with all different builds of synergy. Synergy, synergy kingdom etc. Try this and see if it works, it has for most people.
Sweet I just tried this hope it works. thanks.
which themes work on this rom, I really like the latest burst theme but I just got the rom working fine and I am afraid that it will mess it all up.

Well let me know if it works, I don't know about the themes though. Any theme that says synergy should work.
Another option would be to try out this script, using the option to make the launcher hard to kill and try some memory tweaks..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
I tried reflashing and I didn't work. Im gonna try changing the script.
Yes that script makes your phone run so awesome!
On both Blazer (w/ rogue and Lost Kernel) and Calks 2.0 (only tried rogue) whenever I reboot my phone nine times out of ten, it hangs on the lockscreen with a random date and random time flashing back and forth between no signal and the regular status bar symbols. It is unresponsive to touch and repeats the process of the keys lighting up, screen comes on for about 4 seconds, keys turn off, screen turns off. Repeat... If I hit the power button, the pop up shows up but I can't touch anything so I end up having to do a battery pull and reflash the rom. I've re-downloaded both roms to rule out a bad copy. I over-wipe every time I flash a new rom formatting system, wiping data, cache, and dalvik, and then flashing Calk's format all.
I messed with it last night and it seems pretty random but more often than not, it happens. If I try to restore a nandroid I had made recently, it does the same thing. In other words, there were multiple instances where I flashed the rom, got it set up, booted to recovery to make a back up, and then it wouldn't boot back up NOR could I get my back up to boot up.
What in the hell could be causing this??? Please and 1000 thank you's!!!!
First of all, sorry to tell you I don't have the answer.
I have this exact same issue and have tried almost everything you have tried, (I didnt have a back up since I just got this phone not too long ago).
My issue started at work when my battery died really fast in the middle of the day after being fully charged. The phone got hot and I just pulled the battery to stop it. Then I came home and am having this exact same issues.
I've spent the last few hours working on resolving this without success. Hopefully someone out there knows how to resolve this issue.
Edit: I am on Rogue recovery 1.10 (cmw v 5.6.2.7) and on Blazer ROM [11/26/11] [v1.2]
Might be the rom since we are both on Blazer...Im gonna try another. Hmm we are on the same recovery too!
Thanks!
Why not flash back to stock and start over?

I've got it working finally. For me, I just had to check Go Launcher as my default launcher. Now when I reboot, it loads up just fine. I guess it was hanging when it tried to open up the pop-up where you select your launcher if you have more than one and don't have one set as default. So, to the few people affected by this, set your favorite launcher as default and give it a try. Thank you to everyone for all of the suggestions.

Yes this has been an ongoing issue and posted in a few places. Also remember that when Go Launcher updates this may happen to you again. You can always use adb and push a launcher over to your phone incase you find yourself stuck like this again. Or delete launchers so there is only 1 choice
I finally got rid of this loop. I was able to flash a rom via the recovery menu in clockworkmod, since for some strange reason it won't recognize my sd card now.
Playya, so if I wanted to push a recovery on my phone (I have clockworkmod v. 4.015 installed but it won't recognize the sd card no matter what I do to it), can I do this from Root Explorer? ADB? What commands would I use? I am on Linux and am looking for a guide. Thanks.
