Android is Upgrading at every boot

I'm running [ROM][28 Aug] [UVALH2 v37] XquiziT TMO ONLY!...
Whenever I turn on my phone, I get: Android is Upgrading... Starting Applications.
Although I don't think it affects the phones performance... it started happening after flashing Wildchild's ROM.
Of course, I have Wiped data, Dalvik, cache... and re-downloading, reflashing.
I also tried Wildchild's Superwipe [wipes EVERYTHING].
Some see it completely normal [SEE THIS POST], while others think it's not normal.
Any enlightening will be appreciated.

could it be updating your apps and checking for ota, abd that why it says that a boot up?

Why does it bother people so much? It isn't a big deal and it isn't affecting performance save boot up time but honestly how often does your phone boot?

is your dalvik\cache being wiped before rebooting?

It sounds like its wiping dalvik on every boot for some reason. I would try reflashing and if that doesn't work try flashing a different rom.

What? Nothing is wrong.

Well, its not exactly behaving the way that it should. Its rebuilding dalvik every boot. Not supposed to do that, so if its not acting right.......
Additionally, (and I know this isnt a very big deal, but to others it is) thats a lot of extra writing that is totally unnecessary.

It's not... I don't think it is. No apps are being updated: 1 out of 85
It just says "Starting Applications"
nothing else.

Thanks! And like the post I linked... some people have experienced it since they got the phone out of the box. Weird.

I flashed and reflashed with triple wipe [internal SD/system/etc]
I guess I'll try a diff ROM. I'm just happy with the current ROM though.

Have you flashed any mods or themes?
Just a shot in the dark, but heres a couple things you could try.
Install the deodexed UVALH2 rom, see if it still happens. If it does try to use Odin to flash the pure stock (will lose root). If it still happens I would try a different release at that point, just to narrow it down.
If it stops happening try flashing xquizit over top of the full version and see if it starts again.
Something else to try is use a different recovery. If you're still up for troubleshooting at that point!
How did you update to UVALH2 in the first place? Did you flash one of the rooted versions, or did you update with the full firmware or ota via Odin?
Like I said, its a shot in the dark, but im just wondering if something happened or got left behind when you updated.

Sorry, missed that a minute ago. Can you get a logcat? Youll have to conect to your computer and run it at boot. Dont want to try to guide you through that from memory but there should be some good guides here on xda if you dont know how.

Dalvik?
This happened to me after I did a Dalvik wipe while in recovery. That is the only time it happened. For a minute, I thought I lost root. Have reboot many times and have not seen it. Mine goes to 205 applications though.

Because it happens when the phone is rebuilding caches and goes by the number of apps you yourself have installed..

pretty sure wild child's builds have the ROM fix perms each time you boot. this is the cause of this message. don't worry, you are fine.

Mine just came back to normal and i dont see it anymore. Also i think my phone boot faster than the normal.

It's usually from an odex file being put into a deodexed Rom find that file and delete it and you should be fine.

[Q] What's wrong with my phone? Help!

After rooting to CM2RC2, when rebooting it stuck at "Samsung Galaxy W Wonder GT-18150 cyanogen(mod) page.. & I did do back up at first, but it failed and damaged my SD card, after that I thought it didn't matter because the zip files were still visible, and that sometimes when I reboot, my SD card is working, but not showing on comp. And yes, I skipped the Nandroid backup. PLEASE HELP. :crying:

Seems you experience an awful lot today. But it happens to everyone's first time.
Go to recovery mode, reflash CM9RC2 and Gapps. Then factory reset - Clear cache - Wipe Dalvik Cache - Fix permission. These are important steps. If you miss either one it might cause problems.

Try going pristine and btw I'd you post a brick problem you need to say if you can access download/recovery mode.
Go to the general section to know what, why and how to do a pristine flashing, it will end your problems.
Just to make sure, did you follow Arco's instructions carefully? Pristine is always better but those instructions some times work great.

[Q] Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card after update to GB27

Hey everyone,
I recently updated to GB27 from GA10 and somehow Nova Prime and Swiftkey were removed from my phone. I visited the Play Store to reinstall them but I get the following error:
Error - Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card.
I'm getting along but it's been a pain in the butt. I've looked all over but can't find a solution. Some posts say to unmount the SD card and others suggest trying to delete a file named "smdl2tmp1" but unmounting the SD doesn't help and the named file doesn't exist. Does anyone have a fix for this? Please! I'm tired of the stock keyboard.

You need to flash a stock jb kernel back to your phone. There is issues with the repacks. until we get source always flash the stock kernel back.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

I am just capable enough to do some damage, forgive me for this possibly stupid question...
Will flashing only a JB kernel wipe any data from my phone? I do this from the PDA section in Odin, is that correct?
Thanks by the way!

No should not wupe anything. Download stock zip and flash in recovery

This did it. Thank you!

Ok, so I'm having the same issues OP was having, but OP never mentioned whether or not he was rooted. Plus mine seems to be behaving a bit differently, so here goes:
I had flashed a GB27 rooted restore ROM to my phone that I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191954. Prior to that I wiped and formatted both the USB storage and the SD Card and everything worked great. Yesterday, I used ROM Toolbox Pro to use the root browser to install Mobile Odin Lite so I could put AGAT trec_0.3.2 on the phone so I could do nandroid backups for security purposes. At this point both ROM Toolbox Pro and NOVA PRIME are installed with no issues. Checked phone a minute ago for a facebook update that woke me up and all of a sudden ROM Toolbox Pro is no longer installed, and neither is Nova Prime. It was just installed less than 24 hours ago and I didn't uninstall it. It still shows in the app drawer. Icons are still in place. But when you tap on them, it says "App isn't installed." I try to re-install from play store, and run into this issue. So not only am I having this issue, but apps that were previously installed are simply "disappearing" and then falling victim to this process. I can't find smdl2tmp1.asec anywhere on the phone with any root browser I download, and simply un-mounting and re-mounting the SD Card doesn't work. I can't un-mount or re-mount the USB Storage, only format. Haven't tried this yet. Rebooting the phone doesn't work. Cleared the Delvik Cache and system cache to no avail. Even tried fixing permissions in the AGAT recovery menu and still nothing. Oh, and it seems to only be affecting the apps I've purchased, none of the free apps on my phone seem to be affected in any way...
I don't quite know which kernel to flash and if there is a rooted stock kernel I can install with Mobile Odin Lite... Links and help would be appreciated, because I've been scouring the web for an hour to find a fix and nothing is working. T_T

I found the kernel in zip form here. You can find it through the forums on this site but the link I am posting is a few pages deep so you don't have to go looking. Anyway, just place the zip on the SD card, reboot into recovery, flash the zip, and reboot the phone. This worked for me and it was like a breath of fresh air after being choked for a week. Good luck!

Ok, so maybe you can answer another question I have that is a bit off of the topic, but:
I just found a setting in the Data Programming mode (##3282#) under the advanced section that states: "LTE Status: LTE: <not set>." What is that about? I thought the phone was WiMax only...?

No idea what it means. It is probably left over files or settings. This phone is WiMax only so those settings will either do nothing or if changed, will mess up your phone.

So I found out what caused my issues with being unable to install to USB Storage or SD Card. I flashed AGAT_GB27_repack.tar to my device so I could do those nandroid backups... and that has to be what caused the issues because after flashing a stock GB27 kernel to the device it wiped my AGAT recovery tREC_v0.3.2 back to stock recovery... and now the device is functioning perfectly. Could you possibly link me to a kernel that comes built in with some custom recovery so that I can have something like CWM or AGAT, and one that's functioning perfectly by chance? FML. >.>'

Go look in the development forum. We have source built CWM now so that issue is no longer a problem.

What I did, was restored version before this release, dirty flashed the new, and bam, it all started working, btw this problem is happening randomly on all of the multi-carrier roms for some reason. Can anyone en-light us on this issue?

Im not using this rom anymore but had it a few days ago. What I did to get it working was simply flash the fix then let sit for like 3-4 minutes after firat boot before it starts working. If it still doesnt work then do reboot (not quick restart) and that should get it working fine.

lost+found file struggle

Hey, guys. I posted here a while back that I've been having some major problems with my phone. It randomly reboots, does not properly wipe in recovery, will not properly install ROM's or recovery updates.
I think it all stems from me seeming to remember deleting a lost+found file that I thought was a dupe. Anyway, I assume that restoring the phone to factory is the only way to fix it, but I'm hoping somebody has another idea because I use a mac and Idk how to root it again if I have to do that.
Thank you for any help or suggestions.
