Bootloop on Goodness 1.0.1 MA4 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Ok. So, I'm stumped. I'm trying to install goodness ma4 1.0.1 (which i have before) and i at first thought titanium backup was causing my issue. but, i keep having it not boot.
I've done this many times, just trying to reinstall my ma4 setup as ive done at least 3 times now. I cant seem to find a common cause for my noboots. I've deleted all init.d scripts except zipalign, sqlite, and 00random, I set the permissions, i debloated using the lj7 safe to remove apps, as most are just updates, and i restore my apps. I thought it was pimp my rom, so i left that out. Ive ran restore then restarted then removed bloat, done that in reverse, pimp my rom no pimp my rom, sometimes i just reboot it and it starts bootlooping.
Someone please help
Also does anyone have a safe to remove apps list for ma4?

Asop 2.1 R5 brick

Hello,
I tried installing aosp-2.1-jnwhiteh-r5-beta2.zip, after that it worked, but I couldn't import my contacts + the gallery crashes just like on r4, so I decided to go back to r4 again because i couldnt load contacts. But once installed it crashes completely, I get a ****load of messsages that certain applications dont work. Then any other rom I tried on every rom I get crash messages of all applications I get flooded with them.
I made a nandroid backup before, but what could have caused this weird error.
Did you wipe before installing those ROM's, that's what ****'s up these kind of things most of the time. And you're device isn't bricked.
Yeah wiped it, it is fixed now, restored a nandroid backup, but I always wipping it.

[Q] Pyromod 1.6 trouble

Hello there everybody. I'm kind of new to modding my T-mobile G2.
I tried running the Pyromod 1.6 on my phone and I followed directions to the T. At first startup everything was running normally. On my previous rom (Villianrom) I used titanium backup to back up all my apps and some data. I was reinstalling my old apps using titanium and then I ran into some issues.
First, I kept getting force close issues with the android media process. I was also unable to download or update any of my apps via the android market.
Second, whenever I tried setting up a widget, I get even more force close issues with the media process and a couple others.
In an attempt to remedy this, I rebooted my phone and now its stuck on the startup of the mod. ( the blue hexagon beehive like flashing and graphic)
I'm not too sure if this is a brick or not and I'm currently just letting it run to see if time is what it needs to start up.
Any help or suggestions would be a great help and appreciated. =)
When it ran the first time it was a really cool mod so i'd like to keep it if possible.
Thanks!
if you can get into recovery i think you are ok, try to wipe cache/dalvik and run fix permissions
You're better off just wiping the phone, reflashing the ROM (and don't flash any other kernels on top of it), and then just select "restore apps with data" from Titanium's batch window.

[ROM][7/6] GSB v3.7 NAVIGATION FIX

Hi All,
Being a newb, I couldn't post in workshed's thread. I found a solution to the navigation issues (The cause is well over my head, so someone please forward to workshed for me??)....
After flashing to GSB-3.5 I noticed navigation would randomly freeze, then cause a full reboot, not just a force close usually after about 10 minutes. I waited for 3.6 assuming Shed would catch it and fix, but the problem persisted through 3.7-odex with gapps 0613.
Reading through his thread; other's were suggesting the issue wasn't in the rom but in the GAPPS package or possibly in the CM themes or supercharger script, or possibly the titanium backup-"restore apps and data settings"...
I religiously Nandbackup and Titanium back-up all system and App data (due to all the scary phone brick warnings)
Anyway whenever I flash a new Rom, I run titanium backup, nandbackup, delete the android secure folder, then reboot into recovery wipe the caches, flash the rom, then the recommended GAPPS, cach2cache (sp?), CM and android themes, then reboot, allow the GAPPS to full install from the market installer (some addition apps install since i have the backup apps to google account option checked in CM settings), then i download titanium backup (pro) and I only restore the user apps with data (never batch restore system data.) I selectively restore my user dictionary, bookmarks, wifi, bluetooth settings.
This time I restored all of the user apps without data and only selectively restored data to a couple of apps like cardiotrainer
I remembered someone suggesting to delete the maps data and cache in settings>applications>manage applications, so i did that, then uninstalled MAPS, then redownloaded from market. after the install I rebooted and drove home from work...
navigation was perfect, I restored a couple of app's data, then drove to work the next morning...perfect...when it hasn't gone for more than 10minutes in the last 3or4 weeks without restarting my eris. I'll continue to test for the next few days, but i believe the solution was to not restore user app data for maps and possibly other apps.
background:
I had tried wiping and flashing gsb 3.4., 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7 and both 0dexed and non odexed 3.6 and 3.7 with and without themes and with and without supercharger., while running supercharger I'd use agressive, ballanced, and multitasking settings. after reading the one comment about wiping the map cache and data then reinstall, i tried it too (but without the whole re-flash process... with the same affect full reboot in ~10minutes) after every iteration I'd reboot and drive to or from work ---2 attempts per day for a while... I realize it was a little naive to assume that it was something to do with my setup and not the code somewhere...
All that to say with every new flash i always restored user apps with data, but never restored system data like people have said, but this time i dawned on me not to restore any data and try it.... i drove home it worked, i restored the data i mentioned above, and drove to work it still worked.
Sorry for being so wordy, but i wanted to give the dev's enough to troubleshoot or at least note for people not to restore all data...
Thanks for all the great work guys I really appreciate all the effort!!!
*update- worked for a day then the same force close issue happened.
I also tried Telenav GPS-nav with the same force close results. I'm a newbie so maybe don't take much stock in this but I believe the issue is in the memory management setup either with CM7 or GSB3.4-3.7, to test the theory I flashed the macdroid's Everevolv port which only contains "bits" of cm7 and an older release of Google maps... if google maps works in the older release, i'll update to the newest release and try it using this Rom
Maps issue
*update 2- I flashed Macrodroid's ported Rom found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134907
He had pre-installed an older Maps version (be careful, it tried to auto-update right away) NAV worked perfectly for a couple longer trips... then I updated to the newest Gmaps and crash city!!!
Nice Rom!! less customization than GSB 3.7, but quick, no crashes, Macdroid included a flashable launcher pro (which I use), cache2cache works fine, I haven't tried supercharger but i will.
I'll try to find this maps version.apk to install on gsb 3.7 to see how it works... if it works fine I'll have to apologize personally to workshed and the CM team for having a smidgen of doubt. I totally dig the work those guys do!!
If you're still working on this there is a thread going here ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185340&page=5 ... about the Navigation problems. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a fix for it yet.
Thanks, I'll make sure to share anything that might be useful

[Q] Reboot woes: disappearing/FC apps

Hi, everyone; adding to the flood of questions...
I've been having some issues after a reboot lately:
- a couple of my apps will disappear. Namely Line Runner and the Merriam Webster Dictionary. I did some searching on this earlier and people who have had similar problems said it was due to the apps being installed on SD. I moved them to the phone, which seemed to solve the problem, but:
- rebooting also seems to make me lose my latest Google Search and Maps updates. The market will prompt me to update these. These apps are already on the phone, so no clue how to fix that one. But the most annoying thing is:
- after reboot, several of my game apps will force close when I try to open them. It seems like it's the more processor-intense ones: Pew Pew, Osmos, Anomaly, World of Goo. I thought maybe it was because of the undervolting/underclocking settings I have (from GideonX), but the apps work fine (running quite smoothly) after I install them, as long as I don't reboot. As soon as I reboot, if I try to open them again I get FC. If I uninstall then reinstall, they run fine again.
Any ideas? I'm running Juggernaut 4.1 with faux's 009u kernel and, as I said above, Gideon's script. I tried one reboot back to faux's stock clock/voltage settings, but I still got FCs on the apps. Granted, I didn't try it again or give it time to settle in or anything.
Any thoughts, folks? Thanks!
fix permissions? fresh wipe and install? clear cache? fiddle around
Ah, forgot to mention. Tried all of the above (fix permissions, clear cache, reflashed ROM, even recovered to my pre-custom ROM backup and reflashed from there).
I did some more testing on this, and I think I've narrowed down the problem. I flashed back to stock voltage/clock settings under faux's kernel, then reinstalled one of the apps I had issues with (Osmos). Upon reboot it still ran okay. So it seems I won't get force closes after reboot IF the app was installed under stock settings.
Does anyone know why undervolting and/or underclocking would cause apps to force close only after reboot?
EDIT:
Well, never mind. I did some more testing, and what I thought worked last time didn't work again. Must have just gotten lucky that time. Sigh.
Try wiping your phone with darksides super wipe and clean flash a rom. Check the md5 sums to make sure youre not installing a bad download

Oh, wow, didn't even know about the existence of that tool. Will definitely give that a try when I have some free time this weekend. Hopefully I can report back with positive news.
Thanks!
Don't want to count my chickens, but using super wipe seems to have done the trick so far! Using super wipe before flashing Jugg 5.0 seems to have gotten rid of my problem of FC apps.
Thanks again!

[Q] Can't get flashed ROMs and restored apps to play nice. What to do?

I posted something similar in the general questions subforum but of course there was no response.
I'm on stock rooted 4.3. If it matters, I ALWAYS get a message about gapps crashing.
Basically, I'm sick of ****Wiz and its continuous bulkiness and slowness. Tried a few ROMs, settled on PacMan. Trouble is there just seems to be NO way to restore my apps.
Titanium is no good because it breaks push notifications for any app that uses them - unacceptable.
The Play Store just refuses to act right. At first it wouldn't restore anything at all, then on one of my million flashes, I started restoring from Titanium one-by-one, then got even MORE frustrated and stopped. Now that list of about six apps is what the Play Store tries to "restore".
I've flashed and Nandroided back so many times because of this. And no matter HOW many times I manually sync, or how long I leave my phone on Wi-Fi to do it itself, when I flash it's those same six apps restoring.
Today I thought to make an update.zip in Titanium before flashing. Flashed the ROM, then Gapps. Tried the update.zip and it wouldn't work. Booted, then tried it. It worked, but didn't "reboot in 5 seconds"... had to battery pull after 10 minutes. Then the apps didn't have data. Titanium restored them and recommended a reboot. When I did that, the menu button no longer worked. At all.
I'm really ****ing sick of this. What am I supposed to do? If I have to stay on TouchWiz I'm getting rid of this phone. It's counterproductive at this point.
Are the custom ROMs based on the stock Samsung kernel? If not, that may be why your apps are crashing after being restored.

Well, they're not crashing. When I restore them with Titanium, everything works fine about them except push notifications and that just can't happen.
And the ROM I've chosen for now is PacMan. I don't think it is?
