[Q] Virtuous unity v1.25.0 shows error PvWmDrmproxy (com.pv.wmdrmproxy) Force Close

I have installed Virtuous Unity v1.25.0 ROM yesterday.
And whenever i start playing any game like Asphalt 6 Adrenaline or Gangstar Miami Vindication, it says in between that:
PvWmDrmproxy (com.pv.wmdrmproxy) Force Close
and the application stops working, everytime your whole progress is lost and the game restarts. It is really frustrating.
There was no such problem with Virtuous Unity v1.24.0, it started after I updated by phone.
Can somebody tell me what this error is and why is it occurring?
Thanks in advance.

quick question.
did you wipe the phone completely, flashed the rom, then restore your data or did you just flashed over?

Yes i wiped the phone completely and then installed the rom.
I've done it twice but still it is showing the error.

I tried deleting the file pvwmdrmproxy.apk but this resulted in worsening the situation...
although the notification is no longer showing but several other services started restarting on there own like App protector.
Also my phone started lagging.
I'm having a htc desire z..

did you Superwipe.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044992
do that and reflash and it probably wont happen again (clockwork sucks at wiping)

sorry I replied and compltely forgot to check the thread after I posted on it.
I personally have never seen this error and considering that you have already wiped, I am stumped. Is it possible that the wipe was not clean?
I know that back on Winmo, a normal wipe sometimes doesn't really wipe as you would think it did. I had to do an additional step to guarantee that it's completely wiped.

I completely wiped data, cache, system and reformat everything and then installed the rom and for now the rom is working fine.
And i'm seeing any force close error till then.
Thanks for the advice.
By the way, is this superwipe safe, as it cleans system partition.
I'm a little worried in using it.

hi all,
I also have the same problem as you.
A notification message: PvWmDrmproxy (com.pv.wmdrmproxy) Force Close
It appear when I used different apps.
I have fully wipe before flashing.
Any other user have the same situation?

yes this happens to me sometimes when im running an app for a long time

This process is a Windows Media DRM service, required every time you install a rom. It usually happens if you have a too strong ad blocker. A lot of audio and video files are made with WM codecs, which have to be registered first with Windows DRM management. Try not to install ad blockers until you have all your apps installed, then install it.

[Q] reflex s apps problem

hey guys... my apps like angry birds and so on went missing just after install them for a few days.. does anyone know how to solve this?

Sounds like you have messed up the ext 3 partition.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

Angry birds have no relation with ext partition. They are installed on fat32 and yes, my apps on fat32 don't disappear but do force close after being restored with titanium backup. I have to reinstall them manually.

the problem is that only game app missing.. that also some types of games such as angry birds.. pls help

Can't you just download them again, and then see if the "old" data is added?

Yet again I would say this isn't a 'ROM' problem... I would repartion your sd card

It's somehow a ROM problem. When I switched from IC v45 to ReflexS 2.1.6 - I had the same issue on ReflexS - it happened to my every large app (OpenOffice, Sygic Navigator, Angry Birds).
I re-set all permissions for the .apks in Root Explorer and the issue was gone.

How would you define a 'Rom problem' then?

Good question. I was thinking about that, too. But as I said - I had no promblems on InsertCoinS and RCMixS - just on the ReflexS (and i changed nothing when switched between the ROMs).

hmm... I use cm7 version with 1gb ext 4... never had a single issue I don't think... Neo's work has been my weapon of choice for a year and a half!!
Clean install again usually does the trick, and I personally only restore user apps not system
Don't really know what else would cause that?

[Q] Virtuous Unity 1.31 problem with ram management.

I am a new user so if this is answered sorry. I have searched but not got results that satisfy me about this.
So I am using Unity 1.31 on my Desire Z. I was fed up with stock rom (GB) sense ui resetting etc and rooted and installed unity for my first custom rom.
One thing is a problem. Ram management is pretty harsh. I have Juice Defender and Swipe Pad, 3G Watchdog apps which I dont want to be closed but if I do anything a little bit heavy these apps close. These 3 apps dance around imy status bar all the time. I am getting they are always opening and closing becasue of low ram but I have never seen this bad on stock 2.2 or 2.3.
1. Is there a fix for this? Like keeping some apps protected as much as possible?
2. Does Beta 2.33 of this Unity rom fixed it?
3. Should I change my rom preference to no-sense roms?
If I cant fix this really bad issue Unity is a no go.
I am waiting for you experienced users of Desire Z. I love it but I need a nice stable rom.

Check the link in my signature for vituous unity mods. There you can download the ram cleaner and htc setup remover .zip files. Just copy them to your phone and flash them. This will generate alot of more free ram for you. Also download an app called autokiller memory optimizer. Best way to monitor and control your free ram. Hope this helps

Thanks on the info. But how will I install them? from clockwork boot?
I am very new on this. So a little more help would be great.
I read here somewhere that even sms app can be killed and you cant see the sms that you receive.
Is there any document or thread for this rom cleaner so I can understand more what and how it does?

yes boot into clockwork recovery. but for the ram cleaner, you need to wipe your phone first so make a backup of ur phone with titanium backup first. then boot into clockwork recovery and do a wipe. then flash virtuous unity BUT DO NOT REBOOT, after flash the ram cleaner. then reboot your phone and set it up and restore your data. finally boot back into cwm and flash the htc setup remover.

Thank you I didnt realise that I have to reflash the rom.

[Q] xElite Gamer - Can't install anything, low memory alert

Hi guys,
i came back to Gingerbread from over a year experienced on ICS, why?
Is impossible to play, that's all.
I've tried this rom "xElite Gamer" as many of you suggest, but i've another kind of problem.. some apps cannot be installed!
Not all of them (that's very strange) but only some of them.
Play Store tells me that there's not enought space free to install apps like Facebook or the SwiftKey keyboard but allows me to install apps like ADW.Launcher.
If i try a Titanium Backup restore it restores successfully the SwiftKey but not Facebook.
I've tried by installing them from the APK but unsuccessfully, gave me error on the package.
So.. what's happening?
That's the ROM discussion thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2366002
I'm using the last one with his own Kernel
I've tried by reinstalling the rom, deleting everything, using a full wipe many and many times, nothing changes.

I had this problem some time ago. It's something with partition (i guess) and you are not allowed to install bigger apps than certain size. I had fix from Google Play but sadly i forgot the name of that app. I'll do some research and try find that app.

Hi, thank you!
I've actually solved (10 seconds ago) using Lupus Kernel instead of xElite one, so it confirms my theory about a wrong partition dimension.
I'll try in the next days again, i'll let you know.

It was also a problem in lupus ics/gb V1 kernel, this app was workaroound. Wedgess fix it in later versions. I toutght it might help here also

@thejaman
This is not a rom Problem First of All
2nd of all its not MY Kernel, its the Amazing ExtremeKernel by @extremetempz , He will probably fix the errors eventually in r3

Sorry for the missunderstanding
The important thing is that we understand what created the bug and how to fix it, i thing that it was created by a small cache partition (only 2mb) of that kernel instead of the internal memory full size of the lupus cache partition that work as a folder.
On other hand, just to talk, i notice a lot of cpu governor on the lupus that the ExtremeKerned doesn't have, so seems to me that Lupus is still the best choice even in that case.
Thank you all guys for the help provided me :cyclops:

[Q] Xperia PLAY keeps rebooting

After i installed 15-20 apps, and rebooted phone once, my xperia play just keep rebooting, i can only boot it clearly when i enter cwm and clear cache and dalvik cache, but again if i reboot phone, it'll keep rebooting. So I think that the problem is in one of the apps i installed, how can i find which one?
I don't want to delete all apps i installed, just that one that's forcing my phone to reboot.
If anyone can help, please reply.

I uploaded logs, both (catlog and alogcat)
If someone can understand from logs what is causing my phone to keep rebooting constantly, please reply.
I thing that one of the apps is causing my phone to reboot but don't know which one, and i don't have much knowlage to find a solution of my problem from logs :/

350 mb free internal memory
i have Liquid_speed for xperia play installed in init.d but that tweak wasn't problem when i installed it 10 days ago.
My problem came yesterday when i downloaded 15 paid apps from internet and installed all of tham.
Seems that i'll need to delete it one by one to find which one i causing my problem

start first with those apps who needs root.
you could make backup of those apps, so you can reinstall them

Deleted all of tham, but still rebooting, in fact i had to reflash rom to fix it :/
now i must install one by one and reboot every time to see which one is causing reboot

Now installed all of tham again, and there is no rebooting, WHO IS CRAZY HERE ?
I hope it won't come back again
 @Bakisha thanks for helping

I'm using ics hyper gamer with lupus ics v7 720p kernel
i tried to uninstall all of apps i installed earlier, but still the same rebooting...
Maybe some of the apps cache took some place on the phone and that is causing phone to reboot
tomorow i'll try to clean install new rom and see what will happen

I did it, i made clean install of new rom and installed all of my apps again, entered in every app i installed(reason for this is that apps can make its cache) and than i rebooted phone, reboot was ok and there is no constantly rebooting anymore, i can turn on bluetooth now without problems, i'll keep using it to see will it be ok in future 2-3 days.

Even if it's all ok on new rom, you could post in few days or a week, is it rebooting or not.. Just for future reference, if someone else is having problem with same rom and apps...

Of course i'll reply when i test it 2-3-4 days.
I'm still on the same rom (hyper gamer) but now cleanly installed and for now don't have problems

Sometimes a fresh install fixes problems with previous Rom u had let's say first flash something didn't get wiped and then new Rom gets install and there conflicting parts of the rom it would cause reboots or the burstly camera app u had may have been a required app that you had uninstalled

It could even be a problem of the ROM...
