[Q] Liquidsmooth JB 4.2.2 RC2 System UI force close - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Started rooting and flashing custom ROMs few days ago and chose Liquidsmooth as my first custom ROM to use for my GS3
While on RC1, Goo manager notified me about the RC2 update. I flashed it through the Goo app making sure I checked wipe cache/system and dalvik.
I didn't check factory reset option cause I thought it's not necessary as it is update of the same ROM.
When it booted up, a message started popping up saying "System UI has stopped working". If I clicked OK it will just pop up again and again.
I went and did factory reset and also did another cache/dalvik wipe.
It booted fine. However my physical home button does not function when I press it. I activated Navbar feature to see if the HOME button is working. Other buttons such as Recent and Last App button were working fine, but when I tap Home, it also does not respond.
When I pull down my Notifications bar, there is the Quick panel button on the top right but it doesn't do anything when I tap on it.
Phone is working fine again since I restored from backup, running RC1.
Some questions:
Should I always do a clean install (including factory reset) everytime there is an update of the same ROM?
And when I do update, should I use the Goo app, or flash from TW recovery?
I skipped some steps when updating my ROM. I looked through the forums but I can only find instruction on how to flash from another ROM. Can anyone link me with a appropriate guide?
Thanks for your time and I really appreciate any help

I would avoid updating through goo manager or any rom with ota functionality. Clean install is the best way. You just need to get familiar with apps that make setting up your new rom or new version painless.

CM7 - How to upgrade?

I am running a nightly build and would like to upgrade to the latest nightly. I purchased ROM manager premium like the upgrade screen requested, and then go to the ROM manager premium page and hit "Check for rom updates" button.
Nothing happens. No error, no success, nothing.
Alright then, I go to the cyanogenmod settings page and attempt to register for push update notifications. It spins for a bit then puts up an error that says "Registration failed".
Not a great showing so far. What's going on?

lol thanks, that's not the point though. I purchased the software for hopes of being able to upgrade straight from the phone.....
Also, if I upgrade, will it overwrite all of my configuration (background, ringtones, email settings etc) and leave me with a default ROM install again?

Since we just got S-Off, it may take some time for the nightly builds to show up in RM. MIUI wasn't even available in there until this weekend.
If you are upgrading from an existing CM7 installation, your settings should remain the same. In my experience, I have done the following:
-Downloaded ROM in RM
-Reboot into recovery
-Backup current ROM
-Install .zip from SD card
-Choose the downloaded ROM under clockworkmod>downloads
-Install new ROM
-Advanced Options > Wipe Dalvik Cache
As long as you wipe your Dalvik cache after upgrading, *most times* everything will work fine for upgrades. It's down-grading that you will have to wipe your data and cache in my experience.
EDIT: I know you can choose the options to Backup current ROM and Wipe Dalvik directly from RM after the download completes, but I once had a problem and choose to do it manually since then. This was several versions ago so it may be fixed and fine to do it that way.
Rom manager was pretty worthless on my og droid, but has worked really well on my Inc2 so far.

[Q] Flashed TW-based theme, can't get home button or status bar back!

OK, I might get trolled unrelentlessly, but right now I don't care...
The girlfriend loved the look of some of these themes, and asked me to install one. I didn't realize at the time that not being on a TW-based ROM that it would fail as badly as it has.
At this point in time, I can get into the OS, see her home screen. Google acct info is completely gone, home button does not work, and no matter what order of operations I use in terms of bringing this thing back to life will work. HELP.
TB will fail to restore ACTUAL settings for "Account", etc. If/when it does finish, the phone boots straight to boot-animation, but does not go any further, period.
I've been at this for 2hrs now, and I'm getting nowhere. Do I need to install a TW-based ROM, THEN wipe again and install AOSP like she had before?
For clarification, I've tried wiping EVERYTHING, including full reset in CWM.
The problem is that I get a FC on "False.4.1.2-eng-nocoast.20121030.123453", and the status-bar is completely gone. I can use TB to remove the "False" apk, but I can't find a way to get the status bar back. I've tried installing the ROM fresh after full wipe of all caches, plus factory-wipe from within CWM. All this amounts to is the ROM booting to its splash-screen without continuing, OR getting to Android, but the home button doesn't work, and there is no way to associate a Google account with it at that point in time. I thought I could remedy this by simply having TB update.zip run before first boot after fresh install, but even though it allows the Play store and other Google apks to install, it won't let me associate an account for Google. The list consists of Exchange and something else.
Basically - I need to know if this means I have to Odin back, start over...or if there is some way to get the phone to recognize the 2 missing components without doing that.
I do have one nandroid, but it was done right after the initial realization of failure with the theme install, so it essentially puts me back to square-one.
You need to be on a tw rom; as that theme is tied into the tw framework.
What you should do is:
-do a full wipe in recovery
-download / flash your tw rom of choice
-flash the theme
In the future, tw / aosp themes are meant to be used on the respective rom source.

What recovery are you using? If you flash twrp and wipe the system, along with the caches and factory, that will definitely be the end of that.
And you flashed the same rom with the theme?

If you're able to get into the os, I would install the goo manager app > menu > install open script recovery > install twrp recovery. Then boot into recovery, make sure to wipe the system. That should do it, cuz just seems something isn't wiping. Additionally, I may re-down that rom if its giving you issues; did you modify the zip at all?

I'll give that a try. I didn't modify the ROM; I never do, I just install them. It's the Liquid Smooth AOSP, and it has been just that up until I had my "senior moment" last night.

So, I got TWRP 2.3 on, wiped everything, flashed the ROM, Gapps, and ran Fix Permissions (which resulted with "failed"), and rebooted. Same story - goes into Android, home button doesn't work, and no Google account associated with the phone. Also, no menu option to add one. There is only "Corporate" and "Email".

This particular ROM uses a different SU app that I hadn't seen before using it, but I have the same phone with the same ROM, and it runs as the title says, "Liquid Smooth". So it's not an issue with the ROM or how it was packed. I'm trying a different ROM now, to see if I have better luck.

I was going to suggest trying a different wrong, because the instructions I gave you should have worked, not to say you're doing it wrong. If i remember, that was was ported, so it could have inherent issues, or some unknown ones; I haven't flashed it yet, so I can't advise. Flash aokp, I know everything is working there.

OK, here's the latest:
-Wiped everything in TWRP - caches, system, data, basically every option for wiping in the menu.
-Flashed AOSP ROM by codefireX, yet another that I've used before, and has worked almost flawlessly for me.
-Flashed JusTunBean's Aroma installer for gapps, been using it for months with no issues.
-Boots to OS, home button now works, and the status bar is there. Immediately get a FC on Gmail, without opening any apps.
-Still no Google account, and no option within "Accounts" to add one. <----main problem at this point.

Nothing in the menu button to add accounts?
And with that aroma installer, are you adding the thing for the account setup, that prompts you for the gmail account etc? I don't use the aroma installer, but I know it lets you select which packages to install, and you may not be installing it.

Nothing at all in the menu for it :/
The gapps installer menu is Aroma-driven, but it has its own menu. It's designed to let you choose which gapps you want installed "inverted", and what, if any, additional features you'd like added. I've tried everything from completely foregoing installing them altogether, to installing all of them. There is no menu option for adding account setup.
Since all else had failed just Odin back to stock and reroot. Then you should be good to go. You also might have something on the internal sd card that is not playing nice. So id wipe that too then use odin. Make sure you get any pics etc saved first so you don't lose them.

That's really weird. Have you tried installing just the gapps zip without the installer?

That's the last thing I was gona have him do, but avoiding it if possible.
I figured it out. It had nothing to do with remnants of whatever messed it up in the first place. For the first time since I've used that specific gapps installer - it has failed me. You were right when you said it should be creating a google account prompt as a result of installing the gapps (I always thought that was part of the ROM, not the gapps zip).
I loaded the previous version of the gapps zip, it still uses Aroma, and it worked like a charm.
Thanks a TON for the persistence responses, I sincerely appreciate it. Nothing like looking like an ass to your girl when you think you know your Android...heh

I have a problem

Hello,
I am just starting with all romes and stuff.
I hope i am posting in the right place.
I got my ATT Samsung galaxy s3 a few days ago:
1. I have downloaded CWM6.0.1.2 on it with oding pulled the battery and went to recovery.
2. then installed CM10 stable (cm-10.0.0-d2att).
3.then installed gapps-ics-20120317-signed.
4. today i found this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1965290&highlight=gapp and installed the Gapps from here according to the post (http://d-h.st/sPL , which is New ZIP by garner (JB-4.2-Gapps-signed.zip) (11/11/2012).
Now I have a problem:
After those steps. when ever I press the home button I receive a message "complete action using" options are LAUNCHER or TREBUCHET and then "always or just once"
If I choose TREBUCHET I receive my phone and my setting as usual.
If I choose LAUNCHER I receive a new phone as if I installed it again with the JB-4.2-Gapps-signed.zip
a few questions:
1. does anybody know what to do and how to resolve this?
2. which Gapp works with CM10?
3.I repeated from above, steps 2 and 4 hoping install ROM and gapps , and the same happens again (I have wiped everything in CWM). how can I whip or delete or format the phone to default so I can repeat the process again? (I think when I wipe in CWM and install the CM10 again some data remains like photos or I had a problem where i did not have camera on my phone i resolved it by installing the gallery2.apk from CM10 zip - that added me camera icon and gallery icon in the phone which i did not have before and now after every re installation of the ROM they are still there) so how can I start the process from beginning so all will be wiped ?
Thank you hope you can help me....

if u install CM10 alias Android 4.1.* than u don't can install that Gapps pack, it is for CM10.1 alias Android 4.2.1.
if u are safe in Android and what normal should be in ur Android /system partition, u can delete all apps from AROMA Filemanager.
but the safest way is u start from begin. go into cwm and do a factory reset. this erase all data. after that use the latest Gapps from goo.im for Android 4.1.*
Can you point me to gapp that is for CM10?
and also where can i find CM10.1 and his Gapps?

I think i can kinda help you
1.
Trebuchet and launcher are just different launchers for your phone, they provide you with different user interfaces. If trebuchet is the one that has all your settings then you can select that and select 'always' so it will autmatically do that when you press the home button. If you want to change it later you can always go to settings>applications>whatever launcher you are using>clear app defaults
2.
I'm not sure, maybe check back on the original cm10 thread and see what that says regarding GAPPS but I think you can also flash this package. Also, i believe CM10 is a jelly bean based rom so you have to flash the jellybean GAPPS package not the ics one
3.
Go to settings>storage>format sd card to wipe your external sd card
Then go to settings then backup and reset and uncheck 'Automatic Restore' and 'Backup my data' This will prevent your previous apps from re-installing. Then press Factory data reset to clear all data. After that go to CWM and wipe cache, dalvik cache, and factory data reset to completely wipe everything on your phone. After that power off and go into download mode and reflash your stock firmware.
Hope all this helps
Additional advice: try flashing a stock based custom rom, those tend to be less buggy than original roms

This is the best help I could find for backing up the IMEI, but I've NEVER had an issue with it and I flash ROMs all of the time.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946915
1.First off, it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766684 and yes. That is correct.
2. Correct
2.5 You don't need to, it is already packed inside the ROM.
3. I always do a Nandroid within Recovery. I didn't know you could do it anywhere else.
4.Yes
5.Yes
6. Yes
7.Yes
8.Yes
9. No, Kernel is already flashed from inside the ROM package.
10.Yes
11.Yes
12. No
Here are my steps. First I am rooted on 4.0.4. Then I download goomanager from the android market. Open goo and hit the menu button and install open recovery script. This will install twrp recovery. Then I reboot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset and clear cache. Next I make a full back up in twrp. After that I reboot the phone and back up the imei with nv backup and peoples army method. I did both because im paranoid. Copy your files to your storage. Next I go back into twrp and wipe again,flash the latest work from task. The underwear kernal is included. Last flash gapps. Reboot and feel pimp!

before you get started, in Rom Manager, update your recovery to the latest version if you have not already done so. back up your IMEI then proceed. cheers
Thanks for your help. Final Question: I noticed that Tibu has a option to turn all of my backed up apps into a update.zip. Can i just do that and use it to restore my apps in the recovery menu once im done? Or do i have to do it the long way through the Tibu app?
Or should i do it another way?

you can use the paid tibu to batch backup your apps in a flashable zip, yes.
do NOT include system apps/data in this backup. you will only have problems if you do.
I don't recommend that. Last time I tried that, it corrupted the app data, so I had to restore the normal way with TiBu. It might be better now, but just the issues I have ran into.
Okay, everything worked great! I only have three problems. First one is my notification bar at the top of my phone is clear. Not 20% tranceparency but 100%. Is there a way to get the black bar back? Also, How do screenshots work? And is there a way for enable landscape mode on the home screens?

i dont know about your notification bar. maybe someone running tasks 4.2.2 can weigh in.
to take a screenshot, hold vol down + power buttons together
unless task has landscape mode built into the ROM control settings, you'll have to use a launcher like Nova to enable that

Notification bar might need a reboot to take effect once you set it to 100%. Also, try setting it to 0% and back to 100%.
Nova is the main launcher with Task's AOKP, go through the settings if you want your homescreen in landscape. Also, you can just use the auto-rotate feature (in the pulldown menu).

To get the black bar back at all times go into settings->ROM Control-> General UI->Transparency settings. Uncheck "Match lockscreen alpha" and turn them both to 100%. This will give you a black status bar and will stay consistent.
With the screenshots, voldown/power button. Sometimes you have to hold them for like 1.5 seconds to get it to work.

Samsung SGH-T989 - Issues with ROM upgrades, CWM and Titanium Backup

I'm new to rooting phones and have run into an issue with my SGH-T989. First let me say that I did several days worth of reading and investigation to make sure that I was comfortable moving forward. I rooted the phone without any issues using ODIN3 v1.85 and CWM SuperSU v0.87.
After that, I decided I'd like to try installing a ROM - Beanstalk-4.4.2_R1-v205-Linaro-20131216-hercules.zip. Again, I followed very specific instructions but ran into issues first with the version of JB radio I had on the phone (T989UVLI1).
When the BeanStalk ROM install failed, I tried using CWM Recovery to restore my stock ROM but that also failed on an MD5 hash mismatch. I suspect that's probably because I modified the folder name after I ran the backup- again, following some online instructions but wasn't really thinking when I did it.
I rebooted the phone after the failed stock restore, it went back to a semi-stock state like it was a new phone set up however I was having issues with entering recovery mode through CWM and TitaniumBackup was acting a bit flaky as well.
I was finally able to get the phone to enter CWM Recovery mode by holding down the power and volume up/down buttons and then proceeded to flash the radio to T989UVMC6 and flashed the ROM- however I forgot to wipe the flash before I installed Beanstalk.
Now the phone boots into Beanstalk, but none of the GAPPS work and I can't get into Play Store to try and install anything to fix the problem.
I'm also starting to suspect an issue with the rootware since I'm getting messages to that effect through TB and CWM ROM Manager won't launch without immediately force closing.
Anyone have any suggestions to offer?
Thanks in advance!
Quick update - I got GAPPS installed and so far things seem stable. Still not able to restore my stock ROM though, so I may be stuck with BeanStalk 4.4.2 for now.
