[Q] Numerous problems with CM10 Stable ver - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone! I'm new here
My epic is driving me insane. I've been battling CM10 issues for a few days now.
I'm on Cm10 (the latest stable version) with gapps for 4.2.1. I have cwm 6 installed as well.
Here's my issues and what I've done.
The first issue was that my sd card was randomly unmounting and refusing to mount and apollo started displaying song titles incorrectly when I would go into a playlist. I wiped data and cache in CMW and reinstalled cm10 with gapps.
After the fresh install, I was getting random reboots. It would sit there and then restart it's self to the point where it wouldn't even boot. So I odin it back to stock FC09 and then installed cwm, redownloaded cm10 and gapps, and installed them.
On the first start up, it didn't even go to the setup screen like it normally does. So i set it up like normal through the systems menu. But when I got to setting up my corporate email, it would give me an error "exchange service unexpectedly stopped." I fixed that by reinstalling exchange2.apk and email.apk. But then, I noticed that the "clear all notification" button in the notification drawer was missing and would only show up if "PM/AM" fuction was disabled for the clock. and it only showed up in landscape mode.
So I odin back to stock, installed cwm, downloaded cm10 with gapps, and installed them both. Again, on first boot, no setup screen. This time, the aosp key board app kept crashing. I cleared the data for that app but it kept crashing. home button and search button does noting. In an attempt to fix it, I odin back to stock fc09 and installed cm10 with gapps. Still the same issue, keyboard crashing, homebutton and search button not responding (they blink though so I know it works).
I'm at my wits end and ready to live with stock for the rest of my life. But I can't. I need to stay with cyanogenmod because that's how I can get picture messaging to work because my epic is on a different carrier. When I'm in stock, everything works all fine and dandy. It seems like everytime I use a new download file of the stable cm10, a new issue occurs.

Use a cm10 nightly from get.cm and redownload the gapps

Make sure you're looking at the right device. There are no CM10.1 nightlies for epicmtd yet, only CM10. And make sure you use the gapps for 4.1.2, not 4.2.1.

there is the link to get the newest nightlies and here is the one for the gapps http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip

Oh my god. Thank you guys! I downloaded the wrong gapps! I had 20121212 instead of 20121011. Such a dumb mistake! Thank you so much! I was wondering why cm10, aokp, and paranoidandroid wasn't working! Wrong gapps

This is kinda off, but is there a reason why cyanogenmod has nightlies for cm10 even though there's a stable version? Are those updates or just something else like jb 4.1.2 merged with 4.2? Wait... that's probably cm10.1. But what's the reason for those nightlies and do I really need them?

[Q] CM7 Nightly not syncing + missing market

Was updating to the latest cm7 nightly from the latest Miui nightly. I don't have any custom kernels or anything. I opened rom manager, found the file, selected wiped everything and rebooted. it installed fine BUT it did not prompt me to log into my gmail account or take me to the market to install gapps. In fact, I didn't even have a market
I tried syncing my gmail manually through settings but it setting unable to connect to server, even though I have perfect 3g. I then downloaded the market apk but when I loaded it I couldn't log in either. I was on cm7 for a long time. I don't know why this is happening now. I tried flashing previous nighties like #133, 121, etc etc
I'm now back on Miui after endless times of trying to flash cm7. Miui is fine and all but I really want CM7 again.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
I had the same problem, you need to download the Gapps zip from the cyanogen thread on this site then you will have the market and gmail.

[Q] Problem with YouTube and Play Music (CM 10.1)

I just installed the CM10.1 Nightly from 1/13/13 and installed it over the last stable build (10.0). Now, when I boot my phone I get messages from time to time (a few an hour) about Youtube not working and Google Play Music not working. These are probably some of my most used apps and its really sucking not having them working. I upgraded Gapps to a 4.2 version and I still have the same issue. Any ideas?

Did you install the new "Gapps" package?
Edit: didn't see you installed the latest gapps.
Did you try going into settings>apps>all apps and hitting "clear data" for the affected apps? Also, make sure there are no google play updates for those apps.
If all else fails, I would first try reflashing the Gapps package and maybe CM 10.1 as well, and if reflashing doesn't work, then do a factory reset.
BTW, I flashed 10.1 and 4.2 Gapps over 10.0 and had no problems. There were some updates that needed dling though

My Gapps never said 121212 however it did say it was compatible with 4.2. Downloading the 121212 one now, gonna flash and try that. Also, I cleared data and checked for updates to no avail.
Thank you for the speedy reply!
Alright, so that didn't work. Still greeted with "Youtube has stopped working" and "Google Play Music has stopped working" upon booting. Is there no other things I can try? I feel like factory reset is unsafe and will probably make me lose data. haha.
Fixed it! Just uninstalled both apps and reinstalled them fresh from the Play Store. Thank you for the help either way!

[Q] Gapps not able to run with PACman v20 rom

Hi, I've looked around quite a lot and I can't seem to find a thread that answers my question or even one that has the same issue.
Basically, I want to install the PACman rom with JB 4.2.2. I can get that working pretty well by itself, but the issue comes in when I try to install gapps. I've tried several different versions of gapps and every time, the second the phone boots up it says gapps has crashed. And it continues to pop up. The Play store crashes as soon as it opens, Gmail crashes. the Browser doesn't crash, except on download. And with certain versions of gapps, the Android Keyboard will not run (it crashes before it even opens every single time).
I've found other threads that talk about similar issues with the Galaxy S3 that tell me to go into Settings>Apps>All and enable Download Manager. I can't find that anywhere (which might be the real root of the issue I suppose). I see lots of other activities, all of which are enabled, but no Download Manager or even anything that really sounds like it could be a renamed Download Manager. I've hit the "Restore App Preferences" button too. No good.
I've deleted everything, wiped all possible caches, and repeated the process about 15 times. I've used different orders of doing things (that I find on different forum posts), and different versions of both gapps and PACman. I don't want to go below v20, I don't think, v20.1 doesn't work because WIFI doesn't work (known bug) and I can't find anything higher than that even though I believe v22 is the latest.
I have installed custom roms before. I'm currently using AOKP 4.1.2 and everything works fine with that.
Any help fixing this issue or any alternative suggestion that gives me jb 4.2 would be GREATLY appreciated. I am going for a daily driver rom, not something experimental and (overly) buggy.
THANKS!

I tried that yes. Though all the PACman stuff says to use 4.1 and it'll work fine. I tried both. Though 4.1 seemed to work "better" than 4.2. As in the keyboard worked.
I think I fixed it
Pretty sure I fixed it. The issue seems to have been that PACman didn't come with DownloadManager.apk ..... Not sure why or if I just happened to download from a bad source, but in any case, that would certainly prevent gapps from downloading things.
So I edited the rom, added DownloadManager.apk from another rom I have on my computer and flashed that with the 4.2.2 gapps. Seems to work great so far!!!!

Google Play Not Working

A few days ago I updated CM10 RC2 and Play Store quit working on me. I Googled around, didn't find anything -- didn't really care either. Figured I'd just wait until the next build came out and it did, today. I'm on RC4 and it's still an issue. Just wondering if this happening for other people and what can be done about it
I've tried installing Gapps 20121011 and 20121212. Neither worked
Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It's CM10.1 RC2/RC4 (Android 4.2.x), not CM10 (Android 4.1.x), so you should be using a new gapps. Probably the 20130301 one (I don't know if it's the latest as I don't use gapps at all). Better do a clean wipe, install ROM and then install the new gapps.
Sent from HTC Incredible S @ CM10.1
I have the same problem, but I am using the most recent gapps. I updated from the last monthly to RC4 from settings -> about phone -> cyanogenmod updates. What's the difference between this and wiping the cache and flashing RC4? What exactly is the sequence of steps and which caches need to be wiped?

[Q] KitKat 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 Villuminati

I tried posting about this on the actual Villuminati thread [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540250]
but can't because I haven't made 10 posts, it would make more sense to me to ask for help for it on that actual thread, but whatever.
anyway, I keep getting a notification from Goo.im about an update to my ROM, however when I tap the notification it opens goo.im and nothing happens, I got a popup a while back about goo.im not being used anymore, but for the life of me I can't remember what I'm supposed to use now. currently I have Android 4.4.2. Villuminati has been updated to 4.4.4, but I'm not sure how to update manually without re-flashing everything. Can I just install the ROM from the recovery menu without messing anything up?
I'd love any help that anyone an give me.

I use ROM Manager in place of Goo. If you want to update Villuminati, you will have to go back and reflash the Gapps. The good thing is if you do it from the installer located in about phone, you will not lose any apps you have installed except Google apps. they will have to be re-installed. I went through this last night when updating Liquid Smooth ROM. The ROM installed and I lost ALL my Gapps.
