Fix permissions

Why do most roms OP state to "fix permissions" directly after flashing the rom, when that does nothing... it fixes them in .3 seconds? lol.... pretty sure it's best to do it after setting the phone up the way you want. Where it takes a couple minutes and actually gives you a log of what is fixed. Just curious if I'm wrong in thinking all this jazz.

I had no idea either. But this cleared it up for me.

Probably just because it can't hurt to do one, that and if an issue arises they can be certain that it was done.

Ive wondered it myself. Never do it though. To me its there for when you run into problems with FCs and such. I assume its the devs trying to be proactive for those who dirty flash.
Ive seen it screw things up to btw.

I know what Fixing Permissions does, just why they tell their users to fix them before anything can be broken, is where my curiosity begins, if I remember right even after a dirty flash they don't wont be fixed til after a reboot...
my way of doing things
wipe data/system/cache
flash rom
boot up>let sit for 5 minutes>install through TB or recover data
boot into recovery and fix permissions, which takes a couple minutes, if I have errors.

Congratulations, no one cares.

only fix permissions if you have issues of force closes or log cats are showing files as unreadable... basically if you are having issues of some sort.
also, good idea to fix permissions from terminal while booted into android if you are using a recovery that has not been updated in a long time

Oh, I know how to run and use fix permissions. I'm just curious as to why some rom cooks give instructions that are useless.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

That's a valid question.
I think it's an instruction for crack flashers.
It levels everything out.
Especially, if you are trying to keep your data

Ktoonz tweaker not sticking

So I've seen parts of posts about Ktweaker with ktoonz not sticking. But comenly people have freezas script installed and usually removing it fixes the problem. But I'm on free gs3, ktoonz latest version for touchwiz. I don't have setcpu or anything else installed. I did have setcpu but I used titanium backup to wipe it's data and uninstall it, but even after that, Ktweaker won't stick. Every time I open it, the things pop up saying my current set stuff isn't the same as what I have it set to. I can restart my phone and it will stay, but after like 15 or so mins, it happens again. Anyone know what will fix it?

Sorry if you didn't read it, you can only help yourself by reading it. getting settings to stick has been discussed several times and in the OP it has specific instructions on getting them to stick using rom Toolbox.

No lock with gps..

I have never had this much trouble with my S3 to get the gps to work. Its always within 1200m range and never at 10m like I'm use to. What can I do to get this problem fixed. I live in Canada.

Are you using Google maps?? If so clear the cache/data then restart the app should help. Was having that issue b4, and that fixed the problem..

tried it - same thing.

Well,
It's a drastic method, but it seems the galaxy series of phones is plagued with left overs in the hidden file structure.
We root and can see it, but if the devices are stock, that data sits and churns forever, causing what I believe to be, many of the device issues we can't explain.
I suggest a factory data reset, as this will reset "ALL" of the device sensors, and the data contained within the applications that use them.
It is a bit problematic to set up the device again, but if you backup any important info like e-mail etc. and do the wipe, it is pretty quick to set up again.
At least this method will tell you the condition of the sensors within the device.....g

I have the same issues that you... since install the v10 and my S3 is also slow .. I like the version v10 .. but i had to return to v9.1

Haven't tried any version other than 10, but will give it a shot. Now that I think about it my s3 is kinda slow. Thanks for the idea!

V10 works absolutely flawless for me. I have none of what you mentioned.

Have you read thru the rom thread? If its a rom issue others surely will have reported it.
Otherwise it may have more to do with the flashing method you may have used than with the rom itself.

Just love how ignorant supposed techies point blame instead or correcting the issue. Dont be ignorant.
I wasnt aware of an existing post on this or I wouldnt have asked for help.
I did ask for help and not complaints.
Other than that this is by far not my first time loading roms, I think after the 20th or 30th time I would say I know what im doing. So again save your ignorance for yourself.

Md5 check the download . Try again with a full wipe? I. I'm v10 and have no issues. Usually a clean install will resolve most problems. Good luck.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Only a few problems here!
I've been using Wicked since ICS days with very few problems. Had an issue with Bluetooth that was resolved by wiping and reflashing the ROM back on ICS.
Since switching to Jelly Bean, about the only issue I've had is S Beam and/or Wi-Fi Direct connection/file sharing. In the two cases I've had, a dirty flash has fixed the problem.
Other than that, the ROM has been great for me!
Good Luck!

LMT Stopped working
I have been using Wicked Rom v_9.1 for about three months with NO problems. All of a sudden LMT service stopped working. The pops up. Unfortunately LMT has stopped working. So I see that V10 is out so I Flasj V10 the proper way thinking that would take care of the problem. NOPE same thing happened. Any ideals?

How in GOD'S name do I do that? I was under the impression that when I flashed a new rom that would have cleared out everything.

Its an option during flash. Or boot recovery and factory reset.

Are you restoring data or any backups?
Have you searched in or asked in the rom thread to see if its a common or known issue?
I think someone else had a similar problem. (Isnt lmt related to some app called pie?) If so uninstall and reinstall the app.
Otherwise, try clearing data for lmt and force stop. Then reboot and see if it still acts up.

I'm personally glad you started this thread. Because of my low post count, I can't post in that forum.
I've only been using this rom for a couple days and I love it. The only problem I've had was that I can't seem to get the Awsome Beats to do anything. Changing the settings doesn't seem to make any noticeable difference in sound quality. I know it's not a big deal but I think it would be a cool thing to have since I use my phone to listen to music almost as much as I use it to communicate.
I'll admit that I didn't read through the 1000+ pages but I did do a search of the thread and didn't come up with anything.
Oh, I'm using the stock Samsung music player, Songbird and Pandora to listen to music.
Stock kernal as well.

Click on the link and it will take you to the download page for both separate downloads. You will see the descriptions of each being self explanatory. MMS works perfect. I flashed via TWRP and all was good afterwards.

Thank you half sleep so just read the first part of each file and didn't realize the name was different after the first part.

I tried the Wallet fix. After reboot, tap and pay sets up, but my NFC services STOP on boot up. If I try to restart the service, it stops moments after. Have to do a restore on the rom. NFC works fine before applying this "FIX". Please advise.

Ok now this is strange. Followed directions and after reboot nfc services crash. When it restarts and I tap phone to phone it instantly crashes after it vibrates. But even though the nfc services crash, wallet does setup.
So went to the store to get some smokes and I used tap and pay to try to pay, knowing that the services would crash, but what happens is the payment goes through and services didn't crash. I get home and try phone to phone again. And services crash again. Any ideas?
