Help me please.. - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I see more people look at the General section more then the Q and A so im going to post this here. Im running CM7, 7.0.3. Ive been using it since the cm7 release candidates. This happened during the RC's too, i would be using it, and it would work beautifully for about 3 weeks, then near the end of the week i would boot the phone, and then a bunch of apps force close. Every app that i open force closes, i cant do anything on my phone without something force closing. I cant receive texts, check emails or anything. I open an app and it just closes. Im really really sick of it. I tried re flashing 7.0.3, didnt work. Im looking for either a fix for this, a for sure fix. Or looking for guidance to the original froyo stock rom with sense. It might just be a gingerbread problem, i was rooted on stock for over a month before trying roms. I really need my phone to be working. Please give me some help i would greatly appreciate it!!!!

Well then i make that 1%. Last time it happened when i had Cyanogens last update to CM7 i tried fix permissions, both in recovery and through rom manager. Didnt help. Only thing that helped was installing the update for the next version, worked for about 3 weeks, and now im getting the same force closes. I already tried it today before you posted, didnt help to fix permissions. I can have rom manager open for about 5 seconds then it FC's. Never had this problem on my stock rooted froyo.

Any help? i need phone working alright by tomorrow hopefully.

Can you flash a 2.2 rom.

Idk, can i? I thought you had to do something else to downgrade from gingerbread to froyo.

Nope. Download another 2.2 rom and flash back. The only problem is the kernel but that's in the rom and would change when you flash. I flash between gbread and froyo all the time. If you go Froyo I recommend a z rom. If you want you can do newtoroots new optimized shift its really stable.

Wipe data factory reset, cache. Don't wipe SD card. Go to advanced then and wipe dalvik cache too. Just don't wipe SD card.

My personal opinion it is. Very stable. But all the roms are great just depends what your looking for. This seems to be most stable for my needs but I haven't tried the dream teams synergy nightlies yet either.

That exact thing Used to happen to me all the time, that why i gave up on CM for awhile...for me it happened because i was using titanium backup...i stopped using titanium and now i never get that problem

Well its running alright, had a couple of random force closes for reasons i dont know. Its fairly slow rom tbh.. I have about 70 MB of memory normally, with CM i had about 200. Ran fast. I tried to look at overclocking, but no app would allow me to. Would any kernel be okay for it? Like chads incredikernel betas? I really need some more performance in this thing, its just running so darn slow! Other then that i really do like the rom.
Is there any way to kinda increase the memory available? Besides closing background apps and removing widgets.

Well i installed beta 8, and it wont go passed my HTC Incredible white screen now, it goes to that then goes black.. Uhhhhh what do i do now? I can get into recovery tho. I cant transfer any files. ****
Someone tell me what to do now... Im screwed..
Was able to mount through recovery, transfering the rom to the phone and going to reflash. ugh!!
Another edit, gah i wish i could just get s-on and not worry about rooting now anymore lol. I just want good performance and a useful phone.

Fresh Rom...somethings not right...help plz

ok new guy here..well not that new i used the how to that toast made then did the various AmonRA-sp updates all the way up to fresh 3.0
heres the problem (so far):
1.market opens then immediately closes, though this isnt a force close...?idk?
2. my contacts are there but they arent: people isnt working it force closes on me and i i cant recover any phone numbers through google or my sdcard backup.
well those are my problems, again im running the latest Fresh rom used Amon RA and did the apps2sd(the right way)
im really at a loss here fellas, i dont know what to do but im not gonna do anything until i can get some insight into this debacle.
thanks in advance
easy answer.... do it all again
or
dont use fresh
use Evio 1.1 or 1.2
i have tried most of the popular roms and this is by far the best, including the best battery life, stability, compatability, etc.
screw the havs and crap.. i tried those and got the worst battery life EVER from those. 6 hours tops... Evio i can go 2-3 times that, true... i get far farrr better battery life out of a pseudo stock rom than i do all the custom "stuff"
just flash with another rom... fresh is unique in itself and doesnt always play nice with certain other add-on's (from what i have read)
that is why in other threads you see custom builds for people using "fresh roms"
why mess with something that is so unique it requires its own builds for certain things.
so do i have to do apps2sd again
Just wipe your cache and davlick cache
have you tried wiping your cache & dalvik-cache and flashing gapps?
no not yet....gapps? where can i find that...forgive me i dont use forums ever lol
okay tried wiping both caches....same results.
how do i flash gapps? i searched the forums and all i get is the Fresh 3.xxx thread titled GApps and no source on the file itself.
OP of CM6. Just flash from recovery. You shouldn't need to wipe anything. But if you're gonna, just cache and dalvik.

Sms issues

For some reason my messages keep deleting themselves for no apparent reason. I do not use handcent or any other secondary messaging service. I've checked and double checked all of my settings and i do not have it set up to automatically delete anything at any time. I'm currently using Incredibly Re-engineered v2.3.1 and Lou's #8 kernel. The problem didn't ever occur when i was using the stock rooted rom.
So does this happen after a reboot, or just something you notice after putting your phone down then coming back to it...? Odd.
Try flashing another ROM, Lou makes a great EVO based ROM called Incredible Revolution. Give that a shot just to see if it is a ROM based issue.
Its a known issue... really annoying.

Nope. Only full wipe when switching roms. Although if youre switching kernels like u said, if youre going from one made by 1 dev and switching to another by a diff dev i would wipe the dalvik cache under advanced in recovery

Thanks alot, and another quick one, if i were to flash a rosie mod, would i do it just as i would flash a rom/kernel? And would I want to wipe the dalvik cache for that too?

MIUI Force close

I'm running the latest version of Clockworkmod which looks like it is most likely my problem for constant force closes on all my apps but i'm wondering if i can downgrade clockworkmod version to fix this if rom manager and all my other apps keep force closing? Any suggestions would be VERY appreciated. Sorry if this is posted somewhere else also I tried a search but didn't see any solutions.
I think you and I might have the same problem going on. All of my apps are force closing, but I am not sure if mine has to do with clock work mod or not. I still have not found a solution to my problem.
This may seem obvious to you and I apologize if it does but, did you wipe data and cache prior to flashing MIUI? I was running it recently without any issues at all. And I keep the latest version of CWM. It's an excellent rom. Smooth as butter.
Edit: I was running MIUI 1.2.19 with invisiblek, #28, by the way.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
There is some speculation that CWM3 isn't wiping as well as CWM2 did... I can certainly confirm that it does not seem to clean everything out for a new MIUI install. On MIUI forums you can find a script to wipe everything first, or you can just open the "mounts" section and manually format /boot and /system. This seems to do the trick.

I can't say I've had any issues, personally but, I've definitely seen several comments about this around the forums. I plan on flashing back to MIUI soon. Just to be safe, I'll be looking for that script before I do it. Thanks for the heads up.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
The way I solved my mass force close issue was to do a factory reset and then flash the rom I wanted. Maybe that will solve your problem also?
I ended up just uninstalling and reinstalling an app a couple times and it started working just fine, another question though. What's the best version of miui? And also what are the miui ports for? New to this Rom but its pretty seemless
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Alright so this is odd, just updated to 1.1.28.1 version and none of my apps whether from the market or SD card will work on the first install, I must uninstall then reinstall for them to work. Anyone else have this going on? I guess its not a HUGE deal but still just weird
Sent from my HTC Incredible using XDA App
It seems likely that cwr 3 is a pos that is causing all these issues. I have started manually wiping everything needed to be wiped in mounts and my problems went away. Another alternative is to go back to cwr 2.5

MIUI Ports are the current versions of MIUI. The person who was creating the Inc builds used to be NIX, but when he passed the torch to Warttack, they needed to call it something different in ROM Manager (different packager, different section I guess). So basically, you should always be using the latest in MIUI Ports.
Everything is force closing on my nook color cm7 SD card. I am not much of a techie...any help would be appreciated. thank you.
Try fix permissions in ROM manager. You should post this in the nook color forum though.

[Q] Paranoid Android ROM Help!

Hello all. I wish I could post this in the actual thread, but I am a new user with less than 10 posts haha! But I am having an issue with Paranoid Android ROM booting. I have tried like every way imaginable. Here is the logcat form my phone: h t t p :// pastebin.com/mukxdDDM. So does anyone have any sort of idea as to what is goin on? I'm starting to learn my way around Android code and I still don't have much of a clue. Thanks for your help!
Flash cm9 sign in the works.. I then wipe everything format system and flash are u on mtd or what?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I'm having the same problem, friend.
I am. I have been on cm9 for a long time. I tried flashing cm9 clean first and flashing PA but to no avail.
I had this problem when I tried restoring to the paranoid. I fixed it by clean installing aokp with nyan v5, then clean installing paranoid and Google apps nothing else in twrp recovery and it booted. It should work in cwm also but I have not used cwm for a while because twrp is easier although a bit buggier.
My recommendation would be odin back to stock and then odin cwm and flash
I got it to boot once, but it was missing the notification bar. I redownloaded it, but now it gets stuck at the boot animation, and the phone gets warm to the touch.
Edit: Tried CM9 first twice after fully wiping. I hope to get this working, because it looked pretty cool...

Not sure why there are so many problems just to get it to boot. If one way works for the majority of people, shouldn't it work for everyone if the steps are followed exactly?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Nope...too many variables. Every phone is different, bad downloads, bad flashes. If everyone Odin'd to FC09 stock then rooted with cwm 5.0.2.7 then flashed CM9 98% would be fine but still 2% would have trouble.

Just in case anyone stumbles upon this thread, the booting issue for this ROM has been solved by the ROM porter. Anything passed the June 30 build has this issue resolved.
Also, anyone willing to help me with another issue? Or should I start a new thread? I want to post all these in the main thread, but I can't for 5 more posts. My issue is that I can get this whole ROM running, but I have no statusbar at all. I am not sure why. Can anyone be of assistance?

[Q] Anything other than a TW and my camera just wont work, Help?

Hi there!
I have had an s3 for a few days now and love it!.
Any TW rom and my camera works just fantastic.
Any cm10/aokp/miui/etc rom and I just cant use the camera no matter what app I use to try it, whether it be the built in app or camera360/etc.
Driving me nuts and would love someone to help me. Anyway research I have done hasnt told me what I'm doing wrong.
I wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset/system before each rom. I have tried different kernels but nothing has helped.
Any gurus out there have any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
Your install process would be and please link the files you are flashing... I'll try and help you. I've seen a few people mention this the past couple days.
The most recent I tried to flash was Illusion v1.1.18 - (d2tmo, d2att & d2vzw) - 1|18|13 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037028
I downloaded Illusion-v1.1.18-d2tmo.zip and gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip.
I went into recovery which is twrp and the most recent version. I installed it with the goo.im app.
When in recovery I did:
1) Factory Wipe
2) Wipe Cache
3) Wipe Dalvik
4) Wipe System
I would then click Install and select the rom file, and after it succesfully flashed I would then flash the gapps file. All were successful.
I would then reboot and the rom would boot up fine. I setup my google account and all that then for the heck of it I would reboot.
I then would try the camera app and it would complain that it couldnt connect to the camera basically. I went into the play store and tried a free version of camera 360, puddle camera, etc and all would not work.
I went back into recovery, wiped cache and dalvik again, hopped on one foot, faced east, and clicked my heels together. Upon reboot the camera does not work.
I have wiped all that and tried to install [Kernel][JB] Leankernel: Minimalistic Kernel for D2TMO/D2ATT (AOSP) v2.3 [1/17/13] which flashed fine. Upon reboot I could change voltages to undervolt, mess with governors but cameras still do not work.
I have a backup of two TW roms (one stock) and both of the those roms work beautifully with whatever camera I try, including the built in/stock camera.
I hoped I didn't leave out something. If there is something I missed than I'm an idiot because it seems like I am really missing something.
Thanks for your help.
I don't see any reason your steps lead to that, the exact steps I take every time to flash. I'm researching but in the mean time, go to app manager and wipe cache and data from gallery... Are you using the same Gapps over and over on each try? Might wanna try a different set.

I did that earlier with no luck.
I just force stopped on gallery, wiped cache/data, rebooted, and I tried the camera only to get the same message.
Thank you for that tip but I will continue my research also.
Just because I looked at about phone.
Model of phone is SGH-T999 (just in case someone thinks I'm in the wrong forum"
Baseband version is T999UVDLJA
Kernel is of course 3.0.59-leanKernel

I have downloaded this gapps twice for the last rom http://goo.im/devs/itsmikeramsay/gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip.
For the miui rom there was a gapps that was specific to miui and had miui in the name. The miui rom's camera didnt work.
I'll look for a different gapps if that might be the problem but since I have tried a couple roms and a few different gapps I feel that might not be the issue.
I still will give it another try though. Just have to find another gapps to try.
try these just in case they're corrupted. http://d-h.st/dtk these are the ones I use

It was new, out of the box. I watched the guy unrap it. It is one of the newer grey metal color looking ones. It was not rooted. I did that. Should I do an Odin to bring the device back to complete stock and start from scratch?
Will take a while since I have no idea where to start with all that

Hey thanks again for your help. I ended up falling asleep but installed Wicked V6 (tw based rom) and liking it enough that I will wait on a aokp/cm10.x rom until I get up the motivation to try again.
I'm sure I'll get an itch for a different rom in about a week though
