Ok guys I am starting this thread because I cannot find an answer after searching...
Basically what my problem is right now is that upon reboot of my phone, I get to the lockscreen page and there is no slider to unlock with. Just my wallpaper and notifications bar on top. This happened to me last randomly without me doing anything major (moving apps to sd card, installing new themes, etc.). I simply clicked the screen off after a text and then couldn't unlock the screen.
I am currently running the InfectedRom on my Evo with netarchytoastmod as a kernel I forget which version. I have wiped dalvik cache and regular cache and tried a reboot. Still same problem. I wiped both caches again and reflashed the rom and still nothing. The only thing I can think of to do next is to do a full data wipe, but I'm trying to avoid that cause thats always a hassle. Any ideas out there?
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm not saying its virus' rom,but i had a few bugs trying to use that rom,after the second time flashing it,for some strange reason,my phone would'nt install it anymore,it kept giving error messages.It looks like a real good rom,so whoever got that rom installed and running,let me know your trick,lol.Other than that,i can't give you an answer for your question.Good luck.
Personally I think its the best rom i've used up till now. Looked awesome and never had a single problem with it :/ Thanks anyways!

Hi,
After having the Desire for a year now I finally decided to root and flash a rom. Got through the root pretty well but am now struggling with the rom.
I flashed Oxygen and all looked and felt great until i tried to add a shortcut and widget to my front screen as it never did anything when i chose the option. Then when I pressed the lock button the screen would not boot back up. The key pad lit up but no screen. I took the battery out and rebooted but still the same thing happened.
Ive now done a nadroid restore and back to the stock rom but like the simplicity of Oxygen. Any idea's what it could have been? Can you put widgets and shortcuts on roms?
Before installing i did a facory reset, are there any other resets i need to do?
Sorry for all the questions,
Thx
Hmmmm would seem something messed up. You can try reflashing it. That usually works with a rom (has done for me before). I don't know what launcher Oxygen comes with but you can try another launcher for free and see if that's any different.
When you change to a different rom, you should do a factory reset and wipe the Dalvik cache as well. If your upgrading a rom, you don't need to wipe anything.
To be honest, I am going to install Oxygen and see if there are any errors with it because a lot of people seem to be having issues with it.
**EDIT**
I installed Oxygen RC7 no problems at all. Did data wipe, cache wipe and Dalvik cache wipe then installed it. Added widgets, apps and shortcuts to the launcher.
I guess something messed up for you to wipe as I said above and flash it again.
Cheers for that, i'll give it another try later.
Is it worth updating my radio as there seems to be a lot of debate to weather you need to despite some roms requesting specific radios?
Just re flashed it and everything is working great thx.
Flashing a radio helps if your having problems with data connections on your current radio. To be honest, I just flash the current radio anyway just in case but it isn't necessary.
I am having issues with Kingdom lockscreen. I have installed it and the ringpull comes up with the time but the widgets do not appear. I can go into personalise and choose which widgets to display but they still do not show up. On a couple of occasions they have appeared for less than a second before disappearing. I have flashed the lockscreen a number of times now and still no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

no ideas anyone? I've read of a couple of people with the same issue but literally a couple, ad even then there were no solutions posted
Not had this problem, the only things I could suggest; re-flash the kingdom lockscreen and then wipe the dalvik cache. Or possibly mount system and flash the lockscreen.
Other than that, I'm at a loss.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
In SEOs thread, in the OP, he states that some solutions to some problems.
Try 'clear data' in HTC Sense (the one with the home screen as a logo) in the 'Remove App' settings.
NOTE: it will delete your Home Screen widgets.
But go read his 1st post, and he tells you which data to clear when you have issues with some of his MODs
Thanks for the help, tried all the above and still the same problem. Really puzzles me why it would be happening and its not a more common problem. I followed the instructions to a T when flashing ARHD and the mods as I'm sure most other people did so I really am stumped by this
So I've just flashed ARHD 5.1.8 and the all in one sense 3.0 pack and still having the same issue
The sense pack includes kingdom lockscreen I should have said
Re flashed 5.1.8, wiped cache and dalvik cache, rebooted into recovery, flashed sense 3.0 pack and still the same problem. Must be something wrong with my phone, dont know what though, very frustrating
Again the apps appeared for a second and then disappeared the first time I rebooted
I think I might just have to wipe and start again from scratch. eek
Yes that seems the best thing to do. A hardware fault is extremely unlikely.
Jeez I hope not! I meant something software related though, I just did a full backup after I installed the ROM so maybe it something from that. I think I'll wipe and start from a clean install and see if that helps. Do you know what the backup of apps is like from google? Reliable? Does it backup in-app data yet?
This post is purely to get up to 10 posts so I can post in the right forum. Apologies

SILLY QUESTION from my side BUT why are you trying to flash Kingdom lockscreen? Doesn't it have that installed already?
Try just re-flashing the ROM WITHOUT full wipe. If that doesn't work then try downloading the ROM again.. fresh download, clean wipe, data, cache and delvik and re-install ;o)
Hope this helps you mate!!
Hello,
I've installed Hensemod a few times now, without any problems the first time I boot the phone.
Only after that, when restarting or turning the phone on again, it takes very long to start, like it's installing again and then the internal memory is suddenly full, even though I had about 100mb when turning the phone off. Also, all apps I installed are gone. In the applications list (in settings) they seem to still be there, but they're all 0kb and there's no shortcuts to them in the programs overview... Like I said, I've installed the Hensemod a few times now, and every time this happens.
Anyone knows how to solve this? I really like this rom, I can finally install and update all apps I want without the phone becoming unusable because of full internal memory! Thanks!

I used HenseModv3 is a nice ROM, u must have to wipe all the data, cache and dalvick cache in the CWM recovery section, then install the HenseMod ROM.
If any other problem, plz share.
I followed all the steps stated in the development forum post, it works fine, just cant restart the phone because it will stop working...
My phone just continuesly restart...
Plug off ur battery, then go to CWM recovery, try to intall any other/different ROM.
I install each ROM by above method,i didn't use fastboot uncheck option.
Never mind I was just being stupid... I wiped the cache partition and not the dalvik cache. Sorry about that! Let's see if it will work now. Installing rom at the moment.
And again... first boot worked fine, after that I'm stuck in a bootloop now... Just like couldzxz. Too bad! I'll have to try yet another mod. Hope the next update of hensemod will solve this!
yes, u can try different custom ROM if any problems with a particular ROM
wait for next updates from Henry_01
I got stuck in bootloop too. I reqlly like the rom but well.. :/

Okay, i've seen your problems.
I've tested latest build, but didnt rebooted it.
I suggest you all use a previous version (3).
Problem can be also kernel related.
I don't have time now (exams), I will make a proper working build after some weeks.
Don't hesitate to post here further, I want to know if it is ROM or phone related.
BIG EDIT: i will include link for version 3.
Thanks to djpc for a new hack which will solve reboot/kernel/overclock problems.
Expect a build and a proper test on friday or saterday.
I will change links now so that you will get a good version lol.
Somehow, the fifth time in installed the latest Hensemod rom, it worked like a charm. I can reboot, have installed and updated all apps I wanted and still got like 90mb remaining. Fantastic! Finally after 6 months I have the phone I wanted.
First and second install I couldn't reboot
Third install I got stuck in a bootloop
Fourth install gapps crashed every 2 seconds (due to calendar and contacts synchronization)
Fifth install = perfect!
I don't know how it happened, I just kept on installing this one so I could copy another rom on the sd card since I don't have an adapter or card reader for it.
Thanks!
hey, new user here, don't know if this has come up before but i did a search and haven't found anything that has the same particulars as i do.
recently my phone hasn't been responding to power button or home button wake up, intermittently. freezes up sometimes and some apps force close more than usual. then the other day, my phone died on me (full battery discharge) and when i finally got around to charging it, it charged fully but it wouldn't turn on past the Samsung boot logo, and gets real hot while doing so.
Also, the samsung boot logo appears before the AT&T splash screen tone starts.
im running stock Rooted 4.1.2 with the latest perseus kernel version.
any suggestions? i havent made a nandroid in a couple weeks, so my preferred route would be without a data wipe.
i can still access CWM recovery, btw.
well damn wheres the help?
I would download the stock rom and flash it again. If that doesnt work, custom rom time. I honestly cant see this problem getting fixed without a data wipe though good luck and keep me posted.

With the non-response issues you describe, and the fact that you are seeing multiple force closes on the device....start with a wipe of the cache and dalvik cache in recovery.
It sounds as if the device is having cache file management issues, and trouble within the file structure.
While I dont think you have any hardware issues, it does sound like the software is suffering for one reason or another, and a base cleaning of the caches may help.
If no improvement is seen after cache cleaning, then we move to the data next.
I realize you want to keep your data intact, but if corruption has occured, you will have no choice but to factory restore the device and test again.
Try the cache cleaning first, then boot and test....
Beyond that...as the above poster states...a fresh install may be needed....g
Before a data wipe try reinstalling the kernel, and also try dirty flashing the Rom.
Not sure I would recommend a dirty flash to him. Plenty of times the result for users has been bad. Though as stated above yours, It does appear to be a file system error. He is probably right and I should have thought about wiping the dalvic cache first.

i was afraid this would happen....
tried wiping both caches with no new results.
ive read that dirty flash has had mixed results. if i can at least get the OS booted so that i could backup what i need to, that would be a good thing.
im thinking its a kernel issue, since the phone gets real hot while stuck on the samsung screen. could i be right?
thanks guys:good:
i also tried reinstalling the kernel through cwm recovery, nothing new
FIXED
did a data/factory reset from recovery. it kept everything! thank god for cloud backups. Google is the JOINT!! i even kept my kernel and root, and at&t backed up my texts and calls....thanks everybody for the help, i really appreciate it!
its still kinna hot though...turned it off to let it cool down and see what happens when i start it back up....will keep posted if anything
Great. Know I didnt help too much but glad you got it worked out. :thumbup:

Great news ....
Data corruption is so very easy to get.
As we mix and match pieces of code, those issues do arise.
Sadly, the causes are often elusive.
But the plan "B" wipe generally does the trick, as is the case here.
Happy flashing....g
Okay, so I have been a flashaholic for the past couple of years and been on the AOKP nightlies for a very long time.
However, since the last month or so, every time I try to flash (clean and dirty) a new ROM or upgrade to a newer nightly, the flashing process goes on pretty smooth as expected. But, here is the thing.... after booting up fine, it starts to optimize the apps and I see it going through the entire cycle of apps. When all the apps are optimized, it says "Starting apps" and this is when I feel a vibrate and the phone reboots and does this over and over. My only way out of this is to boot it back into Recovery (TWRP 2.5) and restore my backup and sadly continue using what I had before this exercise.
I have tried various combinations of wipes, fix permissions, kernels, radios, etc. and am totally stumped here!!
Help please as it bugs me to no end when I see crazy new features the newer ROMs are dishing out and I cannot taste them
by clean what are your actual steps you mind elaborating a bit more of your steps, and with which ROM this happens on have you tried a stable as oppose to a nightly to see if it will fix your errors, as far as flashing do you ever format system in mounts and storage when you flash ROMs ???
Clean: Wipe Cache, Dalvik, Format System, Data. I haven't tried formatting the Internal SD or Preload partitions yet.
This happens with quite a few ROMs... I have tried SlimBean, CM 10.1, AOKP M2, PA so far. See the same behavior on nightlies or stables. I haven't tried Stock ROM yet... maybe should give that a try as well.
Let me know if I can give you more information to help me out.
since it seems to be happening on every ROM for you i would suggest you try going back to stock and re-root and try again, it doesn't take that long it just really sucks to do everything from scratch, but its the only way you are going to know where this problem is coming from also if you are on TWRP 6 that might be the problem everyone has been having lately it sometimes works sometimes doesn't have you tried opening ROM MANAGER and fixing permissions only from within the app...see if that squashes your bugs just trying to give some ideas ....
I would hate to go back to stock and re-root all over again. But if all else fails... I guess that remains as my only option.
I am on TWRP 2.5 for quite some time now and have successfully flashed using that numerous times before this problem started... not sure what you mean by TWRP 6 (you mean 2.6?)
I do not have ROM Manager on my phone, will give that a shot as well before resorting to the "Stock" option.
Thanks for your help!
yeah i ment 2.6 lol DOOHH!! and yeah you def sound like you know what you are doing so im sure you will figure it out just wanted to give you some ideas ... and for the record its always nice to take a break but good luck bro sorry i couldn't help you more
It was an issue with the Kernel I guess!!
Flashing SlimBean b8 + gapps followed by the UBER Kernel after wiping the hell out of everything as my last ditch effort I went past the "Starting apps" while I was feverishly holding onto the Vol UP + DN to get into recovery if it fails again.... to my surprise, it went past that screen and there was the start screen I have been looking forward to.... what drama )
I guess will follow all my flashes with the UBER kernel going forward.
awesome man!! glad you got it fixed - Like i said i knew you would figure it out good stuff man, now you got more knowledge and can help others if they run into the same issue happy flashing ! take care
