[Q] Pyromod 1.6 trouble

Hello there everybody. I'm kind of new to modding my T-mobile G2.
I tried running the Pyromod 1.6 on my phone and I followed directions to the T. At first startup everything was running normally. On my previous rom (Villianrom) I used titanium backup to back up all my apps and some data. I was reinstalling my old apps using titanium and then I ran into some issues.
First, I kept getting force close issues with the android media process. I was also unable to download or update any of my apps via the android market.
Second, whenever I tried setting up a widget, I get even more force close issues with the media process and a couple others.
In an attempt to remedy this, I rebooted my phone and now its stuck on the startup of the mod. ( the blue hexagon beehive like flashing and graphic)
I'm not too sure if this is a brick or not and I'm currently just letting it run to see if time is what it needs to start up.
Any help or suggestions would be a great help and appreciated. =)
When it ran the first time it was a really cool mod so i'd like to keep it if possible.
Thanks!

if you can get into recovery i think you are ok, try to wipe cache/dalvik and run fix permissions

You're better off just wiping the phone, reflashing the ROM (and don't flash any other kernels on top of it), and then just select "restore apps with data" from Titanium's batch window.

ok, will try, thank you for now.

Didn't get FC's when you said - try to backup the data then full wipe - data/cache/sd-ext/dalvik cache and re-flash.
Sounds like updated version of market/calendar/sense launcher is causing the trouble.
also try the above mentioned aligning before re-flashing.

did all mentioned above, but decided to go for cyanogen, for now.
thank you all for help.
dik moc.

When I first installed InsertCoin ROM, my People's process kept force closing. Not sure if this is related. And when starting for the first time, quite some number of processes force closed. So what I did was, I installed ROM manager and clicked fix permissions. And restarted the phone, this made everything stable no more force closes.
However!! The people's process still force closes if I access individual contacts information. Because of this, I avoided accessing people's contacts directly. I used workarounds such as using the HTC dialer to filter out names to obtain numbers. I had no problems creating new contacts so I got used to this issue.
My friend asked me to factory reset through settings. I was confused how this will work since I thought that the people's process force closes because of an issue in the ROM (maybe a bug). I was wrong, after factory reset to default, this issue was resolved.
Now Insert Coin Rom is perfect for me. The only thing that does not work correctly is my hibernate. I am having a discussion on that now to obtain more information.

Hmm interesting.will give IC another go. I didnt have any problems you are having. But thank you.

wipe all data user
i dont have problem with this rom

W'ats? I have been using 1.0.8 since the day it was released and I have no problems at all.
I just did full wipe and flashed it...t'at is all..

I'm also using IC 1.0.8 (CM7r2, since it seemed considerably faster) - So far I've had no issues at all, loving it.
Phil

Been using InsertCoin CM7 1.0.8, with cm7r2 hboot for a few days and everything seems fine
Not sure if it's gingerbread, new htc sense or InsertCoin, or all of them but loving the new rom! (only thing that bugs me is that I prefer the old htc weather animations...)

do you wipe all your phone?
i've no problem with ic

yep, i wiped my phone - data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache.
though i sort of take back what I said... having minor problems - no FC, or infinite loadings, but i see my SIM contacts when I hit phone/dialer, even though they have been hidden in the people app. I believe this is causing a second issue with messages being unable to find the right facebook/google avatar.
but other than that, seems to be working fine

[Q] Reboot woes: disappearing/FC apps

Hi, everyone; adding to the flood of questions...
I've been having some issues after a reboot lately:
- a couple of my apps will disappear. Namely Line Runner and the Merriam Webster Dictionary. I did some searching on this earlier and people who have had similar problems said it was due to the apps being installed on SD. I moved them to the phone, which seemed to solve the problem, but:
- rebooting also seems to make me lose my latest Google Search and Maps updates. The market will prompt me to update these. These apps are already on the phone, so no clue how to fix that one. But the most annoying thing is:
- after reboot, several of my game apps will force close when I try to open them. It seems like it's the more processor-intense ones: Pew Pew, Osmos, Anomaly, World of Goo. I thought maybe it was because of the undervolting/underclocking settings I have (from GideonX), but the apps work fine (running quite smoothly) after I install them, as long as I don't reboot. As soon as I reboot, if I try to open them again I get FC. If I uninstall then reinstall, they run fine again.
Any ideas? I'm running Juggernaut 4.1 with faux's 009u kernel and, as I said above, Gideon's script. I tried one reboot back to faux's stock clock/voltage settings, but I still got FCs on the apps. Granted, I didn't try it again or give it time to settle in or anything.
Any thoughts, folks? Thanks!

fix permissions? fresh wipe and install? clear cache? fiddle around

Ah, forgot to mention. Tried all of the above (fix permissions, clear cache, reflashed ROM, even recovered to my pre-custom ROM backup and reflashed from there).

I did some more testing on this, and I think I've narrowed down the problem. I flashed back to stock voltage/clock settings under faux's kernel, then reinstalled one of the apps I had issues with (Osmos). Upon reboot it still ran okay. So it seems I won't get force closes after reboot IF the app was installed under stock settings.
Does anyone know why undervolting and/or underclocking would cause apps to force close only after reboot?
EDIT:
Well, never mind. I did some more testing, and what I thought worked last time didn't work again. Must have just gotten lucky that time. Sigh.

Try wiping your phone with darksides super wipe and clean flash a rom. Check the md5 sums to make sure youre not installing a bad download

Oh, wow, didn't even know about the existence of that tool. Will definitely give that a try when I have some free time this weekend. Hopefully I can report back with positive news.
Thanks!

Don't want to count my chickens, but using super wipe seems to have done the trick so far! Using super wipe before flashing Jugg 5.0 seems to have gotten rid of my problem of FC apps.
Thanks again!

Very slow??

Hi guys,
I've been using Cyanogenmod 7, and it was going very slow. I decided to completely wipe the phone and SD card and start from scratch with Andromadus Mimicry ROM. It is much faster I find but I still get the random slowdowns.
My biggest problems seem to be with the Facebook app, it slows down the phone incredibly. even when you exit the app, unless you force close it, the whole phone goes to a crawl.
I also find even if I uninstall the facebook app, I get lots of random slowdowns, like random times during the day I'll go to read my SMS and it takes FOREVER to load (go sms app)
any ideas?

Are your partitions ext4? Did you debug and follow the steps in the Mimicry OP?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

4EXT is paid software eh? don't really want to pay for it if I can avoid it, any other way of checking??
Wheres the debug steps?

4ext is a free custom recovery, there is an app similar to rom manager that is a paid app. if you don't want to support the developer for whatever reason your choice, but you can still flash the 4ext recoverey via fastboot or a pc10img
can you get a logcat? if your slowdowns are easily duplicated then plug phone into computer, and run a logcat through adb when you are experiancing this
*facebook apps is terrible* (so is facebook)
study the op of mimcry, search the threads for similar problems.
just an fyi - mimcry is one of the best ics roms for the vision and if you are having strange slowdowns then either a bug needs to be reported or you did something wrong
(didn't fully wipe, still in ext3, etc)
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

thanks man, I tried android market and can only find a paid app called 4ext. I use clockworkmod recovery as thats what cyanogenmod 7 recommended, I have not activley done anything to setup ext4 though as there was nothing in mimcry instructions for this.
i cant easily duplicate the issue as it happens totally at random.
i fully wiped and reset to factory defaults before installing mimcry also

go into tsubus' ilwt cm7 thread, there you will find a link to superwipeg2+ext4, this will wipe all and change format of everything but sd card to ext4
don't check the market for custom recoveries, you go there for apps, look for the 4ext thread in the dev section or just google it
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

okay thanks for your help! i got 4ext installed and checked info, so my system partition is ext4, data and cache are ext3... sd card is fat32
so I need to wipe and redo it with ext4 for all of them?

all but sd card should be ext4
sd card should be fat32
sdext (if you have it) should be ext4
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

you're great help thanks heaps.
so now I've got 4ext and i ran superwipeg2+ext4, then reinstalled my mimcry rom, just reinstalling all my apps i want now, will see how it goes
checked info and everything is now ext4 apart from sd card which is fat32. hope this makes a good difference!

damnit, no improovement still slow as fawk, just started up endomondo and signed in, now have a black screen and a crashed phone for the last 5 mins... oh wait now it loaded... grr

Please read the FAQ in the Mimicry OP. You need to find the apps causing the slowdowns and either uninstall them or wipe their data if you're restoring app data from Titanium backup.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

I am having a very hard time finding which apps are causing this, and none were restored, all were installed totally fresh from market after fresh install of the ROM.
I've read everything in the FAQ and can't seem to find any answer

Install watchdog, or view wakelock use with betterbatterystats. Better yet, use logcat and grab a log of the slowdowns as they happen.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

Thanks, I am happy to get a log using logcat, do you have some basic instructions for me to do this? I already have android SDK installed, is it a matter of just running adb logcat and waiting or?

Yep, though I would use Watchdog first to see if it alerts on any high cpu processes.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

Sounds good man, just installed watchdog and will see how it goes thanks for your advice

strangely enough watchdog has not found a single problem yet even though my phone keeps slowing down every now and then, seems to be slightly less frequent now after all the apps have settled in I guess? still certainly doing it though
also one other issue I found is a program I use called AirDroid stops working properly through its web interface if the phone locks, which I didnt have this problem on CM7

Mind if i but in, but this problem is discussed and handled well in the AOKP nik3rs rom EliteMod & EliteKernel ICS* (which I highley recommend!)
But Its seems one of the problems that can cause this is bcuz you some people still have there apps backed up from there GB rom with their account and switching to ICS rom will only install the GB forms of the app from the market its highley recommended to backup data from apps in Titanum, and Install all new apps to your account and then restore data from Titanium.
Also I have alsot noticed that in 4ext sometimes Superwipe isn't always the answer Try Using the "Format All (except SDCARD)" option in 4ext it seems to clear away alot more bugs then superwipe! hope that helps..
Also try elitemods dataswap and sdext patch if you stay on mimicry!

Thanks man might have to give that ROM a try. And once again I fully wiped and loaded the ROM and I installed each application freshly from the google play store. nothing was backed up or restored so thats not the problem

Maybe I should have been more clear in my last post, Are you using SD-EXT? or data swap? and The way I have to flash is sometimes is after dalvike/cache ofcourse
1- Factory/data reset
2.-Then apply the zip superwipe (let it reboot)
3.-Then apply the FORMAT ALL EXCEPT SDCARD option in 4ext
....and just to note you are mounting everything before you wipe right?
Hope this can help.
And if not I would again highly recommend the EliteMod Rom its the best!!

[Q] Help with adding lines to the build.prop

Can anyone explain to me why i lose my data connection and wifi when I add lines to the system/build.prop needed to support the Sony Walkman Xperia Z? The most puzzling thing to me is that for three weeks, over the course of more than 30 reinstalls of Blue Mynt, I added lines without any problems. I don't know what I'm doing any differently. It was almost routine. I had the walkman from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986599 with nearly every function working properly. Previously to the last few days I added the two following build properties from these two links without any problems. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2059203 and the attachment somewhere below. (I can't find the link where I got it at.) I had the walkman installed and running with every function except sense me and visualizer.
Can somebody help me figure this out please? I've got this awesome Bleu Mynt ROM running flawlessly, and it's fast as all get out. It is by far the most superior ROM that I have experienced. I would love to get this walkman running again, and then quit messing with it. Lol I know somebody has the knowledge to get me going again. IF you have time I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thank you for reading this.

Not sure why your trying to apply it manually,it will be less painless to just flash it,wouldnt it?I just flashed Bleu Mynt and this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2059203 ,the link is the 4th post down and it works flawlessly,i didnt do anything extra,but wipe cache and dalvik and flashed,then wiped cache and dalvik one more time for good measure.

You always come through with solid info. Thank you. I really appreciate it. I was going through all those troubles because the walkman doesn't like Mounts2sd. I'm gonna have to figure out how to move them where they belong, because it doesn't work once Mounts2sd takes over. I had been loading the ROM, SuperSu and busybox, Mounts2sd, Crossbreeder, then Gapps. All one at a time, in that order. The ROM was working fine, but the walkman wouldn't work. I could see the app icons in the apps manager, but they wouldn't start. Upon reading your post, I flashed the ROM and then the walkman and Hey, Hey!!! I have the absolute coolest ROM a man could want! I am so in love with this.... You could call it a ROMance! Haha... Thank you for helping me.

Okay, so I spend all day getting things organized and tested. Then I put the walkman together and got all the fc's worked out with sense me and the dnla. The download didn't work, but it wasn't flagging fc's every two minutes either. It's a common problem that the unlocked bootloader causes. Can't be fixed to work. After I got it all set up, I added the crossbreeder and Mounts2sd. No problem. The walkman still worked, along with the sony album and movie apps that I included from the same page. However, when I flashed gapps they didn't load. I can see them in the files, but they don't function. I tried to manually install them and they all fail to install. So I then go back and load up just the ROM, SuperSU, Crossbreeder, Mounts2sd, and Gapps: and It all works fine. There is some kind of conflict going on. I can't find any research material on this subject and I have no clue what to try next. I love a challenge, but damn... why is this proving to be so difficult. I could easily go to another ROM, but that won't work for me. (It's the ROMance I have with it. Haha...) I've tried many others and they don't measure up. I need Bleu Mynt with the Xperia Z. Right now my beloved ROM is working flawlessly, with the gapps, but no walkman or any components of it are installed. It's bumming me out dude. What can I try next? Where is the conflict arising?
EDIT-----> Status update: i just used the fixed permissions (smelkus 4.3) before I loaded the walkman, and after. The result was that the walkman loaded and functions and I still have my google play icon. However, when I innitiate it to take me to the store, it opens for half a second and shuts down. No message of any kind. It just stops. I also noticed that it "forgot" my wifi password. Have you dealt with this before?

Do this in this order: Do the wipe procedure,then install the rom and install Gapps immediately after,then reboot,set up Gapps and return to recovery and cache and dalvik wipe,then flash M2SD and wipe cache and dalvik again,reboot and install this: http://d-h.st/Dsl ,It will ask you to install busy box's latest update and install init.d support,if there is none and reboot,then wipe cache and dalvik again and install walkman app and wipe again,then reboot,you should be good to go,if not i have a solutuion for your sound problem.

I tried your method to a T. It wouldn't let me reconfigure the init.d script. So I went back to injecting SuperSU-1.25-Busybox-1.20.2-UPDATE and I just ran into the same problems again. I'm thinking I have something corrupt injected into my smelkus recovery or my SD card. I can't flash a new recovery with PC36IMG, ADB shell, or FlashGUI. I have something on my SD card that I can't view or delete. I have no clue what it is, but I suspect that it is responsible for my problems. Do you know how I can rip my SD card back to absolute zero? I"ve tried everything; the partition choice in Smelkus recovery, Gparted, and Mini Partition Wizard . They format and show zero content, but when I partition to ext4 I have an extra hidden partition with 33MB of script show up out of nowhere at the beginning of my fat32. I'm certain that I picked up some B.S. by gettting apps from various non-market sources. I either lose my data connection or maybe sometimes keep it, but I have no phone Icon to start a phone call and no amount of re-installing apps will fix the problem. I've also ran the team dirt apps2sd removal zip and it says it took script off, but I still show the hidden partition with 33MB when I look at it on Mini Partition Wizard.

Sounds like your sd card could be corrupted,you might need to buy a new one.

Thats what I was thinking too. I just bought a Sandisk Ultra 32Gb card a couple hours ago at Wal-mart.. Hopefully all of my problems go away.
