[Q] [Help] Constant force closing on certain ROMS - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

So I've got a strange one for you...
Here is what I CAN do:
I can ODIN back to stock 4.0 or 4.1 without issues
I can flash AOKP and Liquid Smooth roms without issues
Here is what I CAN'T do:
I can't install Cyanogenmod10, Hellfire, and Paranoid based Roms without continual systemui.exe force close errors and many many gapps force closures as well. It makes the ROM no longer usable.
I always factory wipe and clear both cache when flashing a new or different ROM. (I've done the whole "fix permissions" thing too, seems to make it worse)
I've even ODIN'ed back to stock and reflash to see if that fixed anything... NOPE!
I'm at a loss for what I've done to get these errors...
1. I have edited some files for the Google Wallet to work, but I no longer care about Google Wallet. Not sure if this would be a cause but its something right?!
I've been at this since G1 days, and I've never run into anything like this before.
Appreciate whatever assistance you can provide.

Have you tried a different gapps file? I've been seeing a lot of issues with different ones

I always flash the Gapps that is associated with the ROM. Usually a dev recommends or modifies one to use.

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.

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.

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

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.

Why is this happening to my Gnexus?

Hey fellow gnex community! I recently left stock rom due to freezes and random reboots. I've tried out various rom and kernel combinations this week such as xylon/AK, Purity/AK, AOKP/franco/lean, CM10.1/trinity/franco, Rasbean/trinity, PA/lean/franco/trinity/AK and Xenon.
The problem is they all freeze and reboot constantly after 2 minutes of use. I never changed the kernel settings and this is only happening on 4.2.1 roms. My favorite rom/kernel combo would be purity/AK, Xylon/AK but they freeze, wifi disconnects and never connects back and reboots constantly.
So the question is why is this happening to my phone recently and are there specific kernel settings that will stabilize the roms or is it just my phone?
Any help would be great,
thanks.
I haven't had that problem before, and I have flashed several roms (though not a custom kernel in a while)
Faulty hardware perhaps?

but this never happened on 4.1, 4.0.4 etc. That's what's worrying me.
4.2.1 isn't exactly highly regarded for its stability....
I reccomend going back to a good 4.1.2 rom. You aret missing anything anyway

I would do a full wipe and fastboot flash the stock images from Google to see if this helps. Mind you, your internal memory will be wiped so back up all of your photos etc..

but I heard people change the kernel settings and the phone will become smoother/stable? I really love some of the features from 4.2.1 that's the reason I'm a bit hesitant to go back to 4.1.2
Try a full wipe, and fast boot a stock image on and proceed from there.

I've done that twice already and usually wipe after it freezes but then still happens
Are you sure you know how to flash? Not trying to offend but it saves a lot of time if your a noob.
I currently wipe dalvik cache 3x, cache 3x, and factory reset 3x in twrp. I read somewhere its safer to wipe like this or use super wipe scripts or w.e
I am running the latest rasbeanjelly with latest rasbean gapps and latest lean kernel. I haven't had any resets and haven't tweak anything. May I also add that when I do get errors with roms normally when I flash extra mods I always go back to recovery and hit fix permissions. Idk why but it does solve some issues.
Good luck
Sent from a slice of Galaxy Nexus with some Rasbean Jelly!
lol. Ya I've been flashing roms for like a year and it's only recently these issues are popping up. I do pretty much what everyone does - wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash rom, flash gapps and flash kernel. I never use mods so nothing to worry about there.
Try flashing rom and gapps only without a custom kernel.
If you've fully formatted your drive, have updated recovery, and are positive you have good downloads then your problem is most likely hardware related
Try the kernel cleaner script before flashing/changing between kernels.
It's a cwm flashable .zip.
Alright will do as suggested
How about fastboot flashing the stock rom's .img-es? (Galaxy Nexus ToolKit is the easiest way to do it)

Alright so it seems like the rom HumberOS with built in kernel did the job. Been using the phone for about 4 hours non stop and no freezes or reboots so far. Finally something stable for my phone! Thanks for the help everyone!
update: After a day without any hiccups on the humber os rom, my phone finally froze and rebooted. Since I was using cwm, I decided to see if twrp would solve the problem. I restored my phone to stock and started from scratch by installing twrp. Then I decided to give PA a try and to my surprise no reboots or freezes at all but will have to wait a day to confirm.

You did restore the factory images by running the update script included in the package right? This will make sure all data is up to date.. Fastboot erase all partitions first as well..

yup did all that and everything seems to be going fine so far
So... what would be causing the problem you think?
You installed TWRP and PA both at the same as I can read in the previous posts?
So that way we will never know if it's a recovery problem, or ROM problem...
Well, as long as your device doesn't freeze and/or reboot we should be happy I guess.

[Rom] [4.2.2] Xylon 05.22.13

Second time compiling for this device, I am sure there will be errors/issues...
Xylon AOSP
Download : Xylon(k) 2.7.7 - 05.22.13
Standard gapps package is recommended. BaNkS gapps package is also a good choice.
I do -not- own this device so please be patient. This was not pretested in any way this time, so please report back promptly about any serious issues so I can try to get them resolved and so other users don't have to suffer the same fate.
for more information on the rom, please visit http://xylon.androidvenue.com or look at other xda xylon threads for pretty pictures and such.
This is -not- straight from source, there are many manual edits(additions, changes, removals) done after the rom is finished building before I upload it.
Thanks to the Xylon team for the sources.
Thanks to Chainfire for SuperSU

I wasnt able to download anything from the market, i guess you arent having this issue? I tried standard and Banks gapps? I also tried restoring the play store from a backup. This was all without restoring any other apps or data, just full wipe and flash the rom and gapps and reboot.

I wasn't able to download anything from the market either. I used latest Gapps for JB and also tried BaNks. It recognized that I had 20 apps to restore and even showed progress bars for downloading, it just never did. I did full wipe both times I tried different Gapps pkg. If I could download anything at all, this would be my daily. Blazing fast. The smoothest rom I've seen on my ns4g.

let me guess. were you on wifi? because i just tried again on regular 3g-4g and they all started downloading.....s-l-o-w-l-y... And then when i turned wifi back on they all stopped again. Turned wifi it back off and sure enough the progress bar started moving. I can download other things via wifi dropbox links etc, so im pretty sure its not the wifi here at home. Plus my laptop is on wireless and can dl stuff, but for some reason the market on the phone wont let me dl anything over wifi. very weird.

I've had no issues really, I don't even remember flashing a gapps package (I usually set everything up before flashing gapps) and the play store was there. I may be wrong and I did flash a gapps but I'd give that a try

Sorry I have no idea on the market issue. I use this rom as a daily (although on another device) with no issues so its a little upsetting you guys are having trouble that I can't replicate

thanks man.would a logcat be helpful in this case?
Couldn't hurt. And I'm open to suggestions on how to fix things and potential improvements. I am by no means an expert or real dev and as said before not owning the device makes it even harder to test out potential fixes. You can either pm it to me, or post it in this thread. Probably the thread way would be better so other users could potentially help out.
When reporting issues, please only do so from a clean install and not after restoring data. Also mention the gapps used.
unable to download from market over wifi
So i wiped/formatted everything that could be wiped except sdcard and installed xylon and banks gapps. signed into my wifi and google and unchecked restore from market option. started logcat and clicked play store and immediately tried to update nova. heres the logcat

just for fun, could you try the same thing with the standard gapps package off of goo.im? I believe I am using bank's myself but the file name is GApps 4.2.2. Multi Dpi.zip and I have no issue. thank you for the logcat and I'll try to see if I can make sense of any of it.
could also try changing your build.prop, change the dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags to
dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y
I don't think it should do it but a buddy of mine mentioned it causing issues for him in the past

[Q] Quantum Rom issues

Well, I don't know if this is how I'm supposed to go about doing this, but I've been having issues recently with Quantum rom, and was planning on posting them in the actual Quantum thread, but I need 10 posts to do that because 10 posts mean something important.
Anyways, Ive been fine previously just doing
1. Wipe Dalvik, cache, and system,
2. flashing rom and gapps
3. the wipe option you get after you flash (TWRP)
Ive been doing that since i started basically, until 1.9. Anything after 1.9, it either constantly crashes, has processes constantly stopping, or on one of the versions (2.1 i think) the screen would constantly flicker (which someone else mentioned happening in the thread). So i figured I should try a clean flash, so I try wiping everything and flashing, and doing the default factory reset option and flashing, neither of which helped. In fact, after doing the clean flash it made 1.9 stop working too, so I had to restore my 1.9 backup to get it working again.
Anywho, if anyone has any advice that could help me get the newer versions working that would be great, Thanks!
EDIT: I might try flashing a different rom, to see if the issues persist elsewhere, but firstly Id like to stay on Quantum, and secondly, iirc I tried one a different rom when 4.3 first started showing up in roms, and I kept having problems, to which I just went back to Quantum.
It sounds to me you have a bad download. Have you tried re-downloading the ROM? I run the Quantum ROM and I have had no issues whatsoever.
I'm also looking forward to your reply about flashing another ROM.

Could be your recovery too. I believe the Quantum ROM developer recommends CWM than TWRP.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
If you do decide to change to CWM, make sure you revert to your TouchWiz backup first since TWRP and CWM backups aren't compatible. My best recommendation is to re-download the newest version (2.35 as of 11/7/13), and wipe data/factory reset, wipe /cache, wipe system, wipe dalvik cache, then install ROM and Gapps, wipe cache and dalvik again, and reboot.
iirc, i noticed a fair enough number of people on TWRP that I would prefer to stay on it (since it *should* work). I did, however just update it, tried again. For 2.31, i just get constant for closes on phone and SystemUI, and others iirc. Im trying carbonRom right now, and its working perfectly fine.
EDIT: I did get one SystemUI force close, on it, but its literally constant on quantum sadly.
also tried a couple random other roms, all work, but no Quantum rom will work after 1.9. I also tried just flashing it and not gapps, and i end up with the same thing. Now its just constant force closes though. I don't think i remember seeing any flickery screens like i was getting around 2.1X i think it was.
What bootloader and firmware are you using with the later quantum ROMs.... I believe that the more recent ones need the dmg2 or emj2 boot and firmware to run properly.... Also what were your settings in trickster did you disable mp-dec and UV... Were you OC using stock quantum kernel etc.

I think that the leaked 4.3 bootloader (whatever end code they gave it) isn't necessary yet, since it hasn't been officially released by AT&T. I'm personally holding off on flashing any 4.4 rom until they're a bit more mature and don't have as many hiccups (although pwncake's work is superb). The UV depends on your device and how it handles it, usually, mine needs +25 than stock but it doesn't seem to shorten battery life. All throughout 4.3, it was best to keep MP-Decision off since he built one into the rom. In the case of 4.4, IIRC from Quantum v3 beta3 and forward, he removed his own MP- Decision, so you could keep it switched on.

I just flash the ROM and boot. If I should be flashing a seperate firmware slash bootloader, I'm not (and never have to my knowledge). I couldnt have gotten to the trickster settings if i wanted to due to the constant force closes.
Would anyone know why when I enable ART mode on Quantum 4.4 Beta3 Rom, my phone continually has pop up messages with unexpected errors? -Such as calendar storage issues or the google keyboard(This should probably be in the ROM section but I can't write there.)

Can't run Quantum either. Same boat. I think it's an issue with the Core kernel and Rev0 processors.

I tried flashing the new beta 8 of v3, and it worked with the odd restart and FC on the side. But the restarts were starting to get a bit annoying so I tried reflashing, and now I just get infinite boot animations no matter what I do. And if I try to restore my nandroid backup, there's this flash every 2 or 3 seconds around the boot animation. Sigh
EDIT: actually, completely reflashing works, but still ends up with the random reboots when doing random things

sorry to hear of your problems. it is not the rom. enough folks are running it and I have had flawless installs. Read the OP and follow the directions, it works.
there is a new TWRP (from their site) that I downloaded as a .tar file and flashed with odin. flashes 4.4 roms now so you might try that rout.
my suggestion, in its limited knowledge is this:
put the rom, superuser, and the gapps on your SD card.
Reboot into the new TWRP and format the system- your phone is now blank.
install rom zip
install superuser zip
reboot.
first boot may take a bit, but not forever. Set up CM stuff and go from there

search the quantum thread about google settings. you have to turn on google now and disable notifications. also, I've been using the swift keyboard and don't have to deal with the google or android keyboard. that seems to have helped.
enable art after loading apps and be prepared for a wait for android to upgrade.

Cm11 apps not responding

A couple apps on my cm11 will work for so long or will work till I press certain buttons then they stop responding anyone have an idea why? Thank you
Which version of Gapps did you flash? I stick with the minimal version of Gapps.
Also my phone will just turn off or reboot out of nowhere for no reason
The gapps is 20131103 I think it night have been the 2014
Are you using the latest nightly or stable CM11? Have you tried AOPS-based custom ROMs to see if the same thing happens? Which CM11 apps stop responding?
Showbiz and YouTube haven't seen anything else and idk how to flash other ROMs. I'm suprized at myself that I even got this one one What is a aosp rom
AOSP (Android Open SourceProject). Custom ROMs tend to be based off CM or AOSP.
You could try something like Liquidsmooth which is a very nice ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49905722#post49905722 http://www.drdevs.com/devs/teamliquid/Nightly/S3_Unified/

Yes. To be safe, you should wipe cache, Dalvik, and data before switching ROMs.
If you are still getting random reboots, turn off and remove and replace the battery. If it turns on by itself you probably have a bad power switch.
Too many random reboots can cause data corruption too, which could be a potential explanation for the app problems you mentioned.
