I hate to create threads, but I haven't seen this issue anywhere. First, I know all phones are not created equal. But, they ought to be somewhere in the ballpark, I'd hope. Currently, I'm running Slim 4.2.2, 3.0-based, no problems. However, I wanted to try out a few different 3.4-based ROMS to see how unstable/stable they were and what they had to offer, as I'm sure Slim will be moving to 3.4 in the future. The problem is that I can only run CM10.1's newest nightly. I don't have any problems with that. Now, any other 3.4-based ROM causes all sorts of problems. This includes, but is not limited to, AOCP, Task's AOKP, and PA (all the newest versions as of today in the Development thread). What happens is when I flash - and I always wipe EVERYTHING except external SD... data, factory reset, cache/dalvik, internal SD, EVERYTHING - the phone boots, but as soon as it boots, everything starts crashing. I can't even get past the setup wizard. I've tried fixing permissions, reflashing over and over, different recoveries, you name it. I've tried different 3.4 kernels figuring it was kernel related. Same thing. Nearly every app on the thing starts crashing. Does this sound like a case where my phone just doesn't like the 3.4 bases yet? And if so, why no problems with CM? I'm not flashing anything besides the ROM base and the GAPPS. I'm just curious if anyone else is having these issues. I understand there's some problems with 3.4 at this time, but from what I've read in the threads, most people are able to boot and get things set up. Any help is appreciated.
Not at all sure if this is your problem but are you sure your using the right gapps package. Just a suggestion.

I appreciate the response! I'm actually back on TW for a bit. I was using the correct gapps, but I never actually verified my MD5's, so it's possible I just had a few bad downloads. Once things get straightened out with 3.4, I'll make the move back. I seem to be the only one with this particular problem, so it has to be either my phone or simply corrupt files. Thanks again for your help.

For two months I have tried to install Cm6 and currently shadow rom. Every time after install from clockwork or nandroid I get the same bootloop splash htc screen. I have installed other roms with no problem....there must be a common issue with cm6 & shadowrom. I have wiped full, cache, davlik and even formated system cache etc. I have a 2.x radio kouche kernel and newest hboot. I've tried changing sd cards etc. No avail......any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would try wiping dalvik/cache before the flash, flashing, then wiping dalvik/cache again before the first boot of the new rom. I would also suggest trying kings kernel or koush's test kernel by flashing them from cwm recovery directly after the rom.
Aside from that, I could only guess that you might have a corrupt area preventing a full install of your rom/kernel which isn't too uncommon but which I have no experience with. I've heard there are ways to get around this by building the kernel manually or by restoring it from another nandroid (say king's on a ruby nandroid? though I'd venture to guess Ruby would have the same problem), but it seems fairly difficult.
I'm not a developer, but I hope my suggestions can hope point you in the right direction. I'm using the latest nightlies of CM6 and they are awesome. I hope you get the chance to try it.
Thanks jaguox for such a quick reply. So I tried this.method on both cm6 and shadowrom. Wiped full wiped cache wiped davlik. Installed rom and gapp and kernel. Tried koush and kingkernal....wiped davlik...cm6 boot loop.....shadowrom brings me to android touch screen initial setup. I try to touch screen but my phone dosnt respond....screen freeze. Sussesful installs I've had are sky raider virtuous most.sense roms...the only froyo I have that works is ruby...my fav right now. I would love to have cm 6....I've posted on this forum a few times as well as cyanogen forum. I hope im not the only one with this.issue.......

Here are some more ways to potentially solve your problem. Again, I am not a developer so I am just mentioning a few solutions that might work, I am not entirely sure what is wrong with your device. I'm just trying to help you hammer away from all sides.
Are you wiping data manually too? People have noted success before where they had none before by wiping data/dalvik/cache twice before flash and once after. Not sure why this would solve anything but it is worth a try.
Try installing cyanogen without GApps (I do this anyways with the nightlies since it seems to be corrupt for some reason) and then installing them later if it boots correctly.
I use the Paid rom manager for the ease of use for nightlies, but here is a web link to the nightlies which you can try if you don't have paid: http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=inc They are more up to date and stable at this point than 6.0.2 was (for me at least). I am using build 100 and have tried the packaged in kernel, koush test 6, and adrynalyne's, and all work well.
Adrynalyne has another kernel for AOSP roms you can try: http://adrynalyne.us/?p=79
You can also try using the phone to reformat one of your SD cards just to eliminate that potential pitfall, though I don't think you would be getting that far anyways if it was not formatted correctly (Menu>Settings>SD card). This will wipe any data currently on your SD card.
Now, I would wait for someone else to provide confirmation that this should work since I haven't done it personally, but you could also try restoring boot.img from a Ruby Nandroid with KK1/2 installed (Install Ruby, install KK, make nandroid backup, install CM6 w/o Gapps, nandroid>advanced restore>select ruby nandroid>Restore boot). This should restore a working AOSP kernel for CM6/shadow to use however I am unaware if there are any other consequences. I also suggest KK or adrynalyne since I do not know what Ruby uses and KK and adrynalyne have both worked for me on CM6. The reason I think the kernel is not installing correctly is because your touchscreen is not working and AOSP roms use a different driver than sense roms for it. I could be completely off base however.
Also, out of curiosity, which radio version exactly are you using?
Hi Jaguox,
Thanks again for the help here is what I tried. I do own the market app ClockworkMod Revovery v2.5.0.5/rom manager. I came from Ruby 1.1.1 with the newest kouch Kernal and radio 2.15.00.07.28. I then wiped data, cache and dalvik twice. I then installed cm nightley 96&98/shadowrom (two seperate installs of course for each rom). I then installed Adrynalyne/Kingkernal kernals and wiped dalvik cache once more. I did not install gapps and let the rom boot. Interesting enough the roms bypassed the intial setup and booted to the home screen. But both roms with both kernals still would not let me have touch access to the screen. So I could see the roms but I couldnt touch them...aaaahhhhhhh the irony. I also tried a reformatted sd card.....same outcome. One time out of the hundred I have tried in the past two months allowed me to initiate my account in a cm nightly and access apps. I rebooted after a fix permission and got a boot loop. That was the farthest I have ever made it. Its strange that both these two roms that share the same dna give my phone the same effect. I appreciate anyones help in solving this mystery.
Thanks in advance!

Same issue on my Dinc. I have.wiped, rewiped and.still.the same out come on 2.1. I did not have this issue when I installed the first release of SR a while back. I have no other issues with other ROM's. Help?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
So shadow rom first release woked for you? There must be some common denominater for why our phones cannot take certain aosp roms? Ruby works but not cm6 or shadow......very strange.
So I think shadow rom found the fix to the issue I was having....hopefully this thread helps anyone in the same vote as me.

OK, so before I flash to Infamous I have a question on what I can do to stop random apps from uninstalling themselves! I just noticed tonight that Google Sky is no longer installed on my phone as well as a few others. This has happened before but with different apps.
Why is this happening and how can I fix it? Currently my phone is rooted, backed it up via computer (click and drag) and then backed it by rebooting in to recovery.
Would fixing permissions take care of this issue?
Next question!
Installing Infamous (not to keen on the TouchWiz though..), do I need anything else other than the .zip for the rom? Saw a few posts saying I would need a different radio in order to get service/data, is this not included in the rom?
Anything else I would need to make this rom work?
Thanks.

In regards to your apps disappearing.. Are you installing them to your SDcard? If you are then they will be poofed while you have your phone connected USB and storage mounted. I heard of this randomly occurred in another thread (used search) and no one seemed to have any other ideas.
As far as the radios go, Mr -X- has this thread with the latest ICS radios which would probably work best with any of the ICS roms out now. Make sure you flash the radios before flashing the rom.
Good luck, hope this somewhat helped. Remember that on XDA Search is your friend and most issues other people have experienced and already have answers elsewhere, just requires some digging..
I've been looking for a few hours for an answer to this question, and I can't seem to figure it out. Sorry if it's already been answered and I just overlooked it.
I have flashed 3-4 different ICS/JB ROMs, and each time I flash the associated gapps, those apps simply do not appear when I boot up. Each time I flashed, I wiped 3 times, and the last time, I wiped everything but system, cleared the SD card, repartitioned it to ext4 - still nothing.
Anybody else had this problem? Any ideas on what I can do to fix it?
What Gapps are you using presently?
I'm running swiperrat's Baked Black Bean 2, and I used the gapps linked off that thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836790). Right now, I'm using the inverted gapps 20121016 off of the Baked site. But, I have had the same problem with Mazwoz Evo 4.1.2 and TroNit's Provision port when I use the gapps recommended on those threads too.
Still haven't resolved this issue, but I did go to the market and d/l the usual google apps.

Btw, I'm having the same issue in an entirely different platform and scenario: I have a OG DROID with Kfazz's ICS build based on CM9.
Naturally, I need a minimal build of Gapps for ICS because my RAM is only 256MB. Anyways, I've tried many different Gapps flashes. Always, the same deal...
The apps don't show up at all when I boot up, not even PlayStore
if you are using just a gapps flashable zip, try one of the aroma installers and select which parts of gapps you want to use and leave out the rest. hopefully that would do it, otherwise maybe a different recovery program.

Hi.
I installed a custom ROM (CM10) yesterday but ever since then, when the screen is turned off, it will restart after about 1 minute. If I try to turn the screen on again before 1 min, it'll restart. In other words, when it goes to sleep, restart will be required. Please help me on solving this issue. I searched a lot and I thought maybe it has to do with the maximum CPU frequency, I tried changing it but didn't help.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
What did you wipe during the install? And what ROM did you install?
Probably to start the best thing to do is redownload the rom, do a full wipe (cache, davlik cache, data, and system), then reflash the rom.

Thank you for the response.
Yes I did wipe the tablet (a full wipe as you mentioned) before flashing the ROM.
First I had tried Jellytime Sosei and when I realized the problem, I tried "Build 4 Linaro Stock" from this post but still the problem exists :/ Before installing the first ROM, I had done a full wipe, but not for the second one.
Thanks again for helping me.
Try a full wipe to build 1 from the sosei thread, build 1 or 2 from the linaro thread, or the original cm10 thread. Those were the most stable for me. It's a weird issue, so it's probably a bad download or flash issue.
Its screaming bad install or bad settings, wipe twice then flash again, make sure to change nothing for speed, governor, io scheduler, and stock included kernel.
Don't even install an app for OC. It may be a huge bug showing for the first time, if we go carefully we'll find it, or get it going properly again. Occasionally the blackhole wipe used can clear up flash issues, but wipes internal sd as well.

I'm gonna give those three that you said a try, when I get home. But, can you give me the link of the original CM10 thread that you're saying? I thought there isn't one for A100, since I didn't find it on their website. Is there a official CM10 ROM for A100?
There is no Official CM10 for the A100, Romman was referring to this link for the original CM10: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792634
OK, after wiping everything twice and also wiping internal SD, I flashed "Build 2" from CM10 Unofficial Builds thread. Apparently this one doesn't have that bug and everything is fine, but the problem is that it's buggy and clock doesn't show well and when you press recent apps button, the overlay doesn't cover the bottom of the screen. So, I'm gonna try and flash Build 1 or maybe newer Builds and see what I get.
But is there a work around for the clock and other bugs problem in Build 2?

There isn't one, no, but it was corrected in B4. I think. I'm building this stuff without the device so I can only go by reports. You're reporting issues that no one else has, is your device functional otherwise? Like is it ok on a stock Rom? Using the correct gapps, any other changes or mods?

It was totally OK on the stock ROM and this never had happened, not even once.
I'm using the gapps that I got from your CM10 ROMs thread, which is apps for v 4.1.2. I haven't changed ANYTHING else in the tablet, no mods or customization at all... :/
P.S. I tried Build 4 again, this time I fully wiped everything before flashing, but again, the bug still exists. gonna try some other guys' ROM to see if the problem is with this ROM or it's from my device.

If its fine on stock then its gonna be Rom or kernel, just never heard of this happening before. What governor did you use?

Alright, so I am having this weird issue. I thought I found the fix for it several times, however, NO dice.
I've researched for a few hours now, I just don't know if I have over looked it or what. If it has been answered, I apologize.
I looked at the modified recoveries thread for newer s3 devices, but it doesn't seem to fit my area of error.
The Details:
I've been really curious to try some 4.3 roms. Of course, they are for D2SPR. I get them to flash correctly, after a full wipe. The issue happens right after I set everything up in the phone, and reboot. When I reboot I get hung at the splash screen. I have tried to reflash the rom muliple times only to fall flat on the splash screen again. Now, I don't have an SD Card in the phone, except, I left a TW rom in a folder. I use twrp, forgot to mention that. I rewiped the phone and installed that touchwiz rom, and still it wouldn't allow me to get past splash into that tw rom.
So the only way that I could think of to get out of this hole was to flash the rooted LJ7 tar file I have through ODIN. After getting the S3 into download mode, Odin successfully push LJ7 into my phone. Now again, I had an issue getting it to boot. I read somewhere that when this happens, I need to check the Erase NAND option in Odin. So I tried that out and forced LJ7 back on. After successfully flashing, it boots but gets stuck on the boot animation; the fix to that is booting into stock recovery and wiping once more. Then you are able to get into the OS.
I let the phone sit and take the OTAs till I get from LJ7 to MD4 so I re-root the phone using Odin and Chain Fire's root method. Now I am able to flash the recovery (TWRP) using OpenScript through Goo Manager.
I've only tried flashing Illusion and Carbon's 4.3 rom. The second time I used Carbon's rom. Same results. So I have no Idea what the heck is going on. Can anyone explain this to me better or point me into the direction that I need to go?
Thanks much!
your not the only one that has this problem i have the same thing have tried everything and most of the 4.3 roms same thing. no one on xda seems to know at least i havent gotten any help or responses i have just given u on 4.3. good luck finding any ideas.
Set it up I'm sure you restored some apps and data which may no longer be compatible. Or data which is corrupting the 4.3 rom. Try just flashing the rom setting up your Google account and don't add any apps. See if it does it.
Either way this seems to be a common issue across different devices and 4.3 seems it's part of using roms built on leaks and ports. None are bug free. Very similar to all gb leaks back in the day that would go into bootlooping.
Have a great day!

When I go to set up, I just install about 15 apps, I don't restore. I just download them fresh. I had a habit of doing that and it just stuck. I don't restore anything with Titanium or and root backup/restore app. Could one of those apps not be updated then that causes the partitions to get locked up, or just corrupt /data in general? If that's whats happening.
I just find it extremely odd that I (maybe others), can't wipe, and then re flash another rom; actually I can, it just gets stuck at the splash and never goes forward, that is what had me confused most. If I had an sd card, and formatted data itself, would that fly?
thanks Ed i have tried this after the first 2 tries . i dont have any problems installing 4.3 its just after rebooting it gets stuck. Like you said there are always bugs Im fine with using other roms for now. Hopefully when an official 4.3 drops problems will go away
