This is something new going on with my stock rooted phone. Once I install a new app from the play store my screen become unresponsive to touch? Any ideas?

I've got this problem too. I just rooted and flashed the stock FI27 rom the other day, and now the phone locks up each time I install a new app.
Phone is unresponsive, but holding down the power button causes a reboot.
It may have something to do with the internal vs. external SD card after root, but I'm not entirely sure yet.
Try removing the SD card before an install. See if that changes anything. Also try a different SD card when installing. I have reason to believe that your external SD is going bad.

If you have a working recovery try wipeing cashe & dalvick. Uninstalling the play store and reinstalling it may clear up problem.

Sorry for the ignorant question but does this mean adding CWM recovery? As it stands right now I still have this issue but since I just installed stock ROM I still have the stock recovery.

You can wipe cache with stock recovery. Dalvik requires CWM.

I tried wiping cache with stock recovery and the problem still persists. Any suggestions outside of factory restore.

I found that removing the SD card seemed to alleviate the problem. Or at least unmounting the card rather than removing it.

Ok, so I am completely dumbfounded by this. Here's the problem. I download an app and in order to use it, I must uninstall then reinstall it. If I try to use it without reinstalling, it just force closes. If it doesn't force close, when I reboot my phone, I lose all the data in the app.
Also, today was trying to access my sound settings and the entire settings force closed. I managed to fix that by clearing the data of the settings within the application manager.
The weird thing is, its not just on one ROM. I have tried CM7 RC1 and RC2, SkyRaider Sense 3.5 and Virtuous 3.2.0
I am currently running SkyRaider. I have the latest recovery. I have tried to do a factory reset.
Any suggestions?

Is it a phone specific app?

Does it matter if its stored on sd? Is sd formatted FAT32?

Downgrade the recovery to the 2.x series.

Yeah the SD card is formatted correctly. I have been using the same card since last July. And I don't have any apps on my SD card. I keep them all on my phone.
And I thought that you weren't supposed to use an older recovery?

UPDATE: I seemed to have fixed the problem. Insteadof doing a factory reset from the ROM, I did it from the recovery and it seemed to work. I'm still curiousas to what caused that to happen though...

Because a factory reset from the ROM doesn't wipe /system /cache /data, only your own information. You need to do a full wipe through recovery, just like you figured out
I had the same issue when I first moved to CM7 via ROM Manager. Once I followed the instructions at the start of the nightlies thread things have been perfect.

Hey all, so I flashed the chemistry ROM and Goodness 8.0.3, which both have multi window. After I try to power on my phone after a full shut down, neither ROM seems to boot without me going into recovery and clearing both cache. Anyone else experience this or have a workaround?

I just had the same issue I installed chemistry on my phone worked with no problems but on my moms phone i went into a bootloop after rebooting. I had to go into recovery do a factory reset wipe cache and dalvik cache and reflash the Rom all seems to be working now. Oh it was chemistry v5 btw.
Edit
Did you retore any system data with TB then hit fix permissions thats what was causing the problem for me.

I did install non-system apps thru TB and installed latest Ktoonz kernel. Just not sure why either would result in a boot loop now.

Try flashing a different kernel, and try fixing permissions through rom manager, then reboot wipe cache and dalvik, make it run the optimizing apps thing.

So I'm on cm10.1 and I'm wanting to go back to 4.1 probably frosty jb. Am I able to just flash frosty from twrp or do I have to odin 4.1 first??
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
just flash the 4.1 after wiping everything including internal and external storage, (I do and suggest it). This way the emulated/0 folder wont be there and cause you to clutter the threads up. Of course back up your both of your storage areas, if you choose to wipe them.
Beware, it seems going back from 4.2 to 4.1 could break your GPS. If that happens, you can look in the General section on a possible fix.
You can install any Rom with twrp whether you are going from 2.3.2 to 4.2 or vice versa.

Yup I have just be sure to wipe cache dev cache and delete data a couple times before and after. You should be OK.

I also flashed the 4.2 rom when I was experimenting when I first got my phone. When I flash back to 4.1.1 I had the emulated /0 folder. At that time I just copied everything out of that folder into the internal. Problem with that is the /0 folder can not be deleted. I have been wondering what is the best method to format internal sd. I am currently on Frosty rom and I have nothing to lose in my internal that can't be replaced. Can I just format and reboot system or do I need to reflash rom after deleting internal? On other devices I have had there was always a risk of bricking if you formatted internal. I would appreciate any advice so that I don't mess up my phone. Thanks is advance. BTW I use TWRP as my recovery method.

Thanks for all the help. Wiping data and both caches worked perfectly fine to get back to 4.1

Hey is Bluetooth working in 4.1 cm10? Specifically the music streaming to blue tooth?
Just went back to stock for Bluetooth but I hate stock...
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Imma say... going from 4.2.1 back to 4.1 was a b!tch. Caused me to have to start all over. And as another individual stated above, there is an emulated /0/ folder that 4.2 uses due to the new profile architecture. Basically you wiping your phone, it leaves a copy of your SD card in the /0/. The restore process in CWM (I've not used TWRP on my GS3 so I can't speak for it), it breaks the restore process as CWM can't read from other than it's predefined restore location. Now I've read on the Nexus 7 forums that do restore, you could potentially make a copy of your CWM folder from /0/ into your base sd folder.
I guess just play around with it, but personally I recommend not jumping to 4.2.1. I personally had to ODIN back to stock and wipe everything and start over cuz I ran out of space to move files and it just took too long since each time you wipe, it would embed everything in a /0/ and eventually the copies just overwhelmed.
But basically key understanding of this whole restore/downgrade issue is 4.2.1's profile architecture dumping all your SDcard (phone) content into /0/ and your CWM is used to restoring from SD/clockworkmod/backup rather than looking @ SD/0/clockworkmod/backup.
I flash from 4.2.1 to 4.1.1 and back all the time... Never ever had an issue

Hi everyone
I would like to know how to format my phone and not the external sd card. Is this something that can be done? I would like to know how to do it and what are the risks of losing imei or efs or worse.
Reason why i am doing this is because i cant get my gps to work on jedix rom. I checked with lots of people with my carrier and they all confirmed that its not the rom its my phone. I tried numerous fixes to get the gps working but with no luck. It works fine on a stock rom but as son as i flash jedi there is no signal whatsoever.
I believe something got screwed up after i flashed cm10 a while back and then flashed jedi after. I think that was the culprit and i figured maybe if i format and start from scratch i can get it to work? Please help thanks.

Have you tried getting your navigation lock on stock then booting straight to recovery and flashing. To answer your question, boot into recovery and select wipe internal sd and there's no risk. Except deleting all pics on internalvl which of course is what you're doing.

Hi
No I havent tried getting nav lock first and then flashing Jedi. I will try that. Now when I flash back to stock and get my lock on
do I need to do a full wipe (cache and dalvik) before I flash Jedi because that is what its recommended be done. I am scared to flash
Jedi without a full wipe.
If the first thing fails I will go ahead and do a wipe of the internal memory. Now will I lose root and TWRP once i do that? And also do I need to do a full backup in twrp but backup to ExternalSd because I will be wiping the internal one? Please bare with me I have never done a full format and don't want to screw up my phone. Thanks!!!

Yes full wipe. The key is to actually have a navigation lock, then with navigation still running boot to recovery and install jedi

The screen before the bootanimation. That's where my phone keeps getting stuck at. Doesn't matter if it's TW or AOSP. It will fully load once every 20 or so retries, but only on a fresh install of a ROM.
Is my phone in need of replacement? I mean, once it boots up, it's fine. It works as it should. But if there's any reason for me to reboot the phone, then that's when it gets stuck again.
I did notice that if I try to Flash a file that was on the Internal memory, it would fail...and my internal memory becomes corrupt (shows 0MB for internal memory)...until I format it...then its good again.
Has anybody run into this or something similar that maybe able to save my phone from having to be replaced? Thanks! In the meantime...I am going to try and replace my TWRP 2.6 to CWM...just for testing purposes....

Nah. It's cool. Cause I intentionally didn't get the Insurance because of the Nexus phones' prices. Also I have many backups. Warranty is out also. It was fun while it lasted, but now I'm really interested in what the next Nexus/Galaxy device is going to be!
Just to be sure, have you factory reset?
Also try without your external sd card, without your sim card, anf wuthout both. I know it may sound odd, but its worth trying.

So I went into the Stock Recovery and did a Factory/Cache reset.
Holy Chocolate Milk Batman! I've rebooted the device 6 times now and no glitch at all! Now that was without a SIM and SD Card.
Trying it with the SIM/SD in...Booted fine the first time...Second time it rebooted itself once right after the initial boot. 3rd and 4th rebooted fine!
This is great! Now I can put my S2 away! Hahaha
:highfive: Doc for the brain storming!
It really didn't make sense that the phone would boot into Recovery/Download and flash and ODIN firmware, but not boot! It must have had a bad breakfast one morning...
I guess the TWRP recovery format function for the internal SD wasn't really a format?
Twrp and cwm won't format/wipe the internal sd by a factory reset. You have to specifically choose the right option for them to do this. It doesn't actually format I don't think because it would wipe internal sd, and the point was to preserve your data. If you select format data (I think) it would do the full wipe. Factory reset with stock recovery actually formats data so it will wipe the internal sd.
Glad you got it working right! Just keep an eye on its behavior and hope it doesn't start again!
