I'm not sure how to search for this better than I have, so I'll try asking. I use game killer and gamecih and after searching my phone locks up and then reboots. Has anyone had this happen? I'm on CyanogenMod 10.1 with a recent nightly (I think 8/8/13) I was thinking of wiping system and caches and reflashing. Will that help? I'm tired so I didn't wanna try it right now. Hopefully someone can help.
I'm not sure what I did that made them stop working but apparently I did something! If anyone has any thoughts at all I'd be happy to try just about anything. I might just wipe and flash tomorrow if no one answers but I'd love to try other options first since it's good to learn something instead of just wiping things out and starting over.
how much ram does your phone have?
2gb and I used a memory cleaner. There's never much running since it's CyanogenMod

Try Booting into Recovery, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik, Fix Permissions, and Reboot. See if that helps.
Hey I had tried deleting the caches already but not fix permissions. I tried all three and it didn't work. Oh one thing is after a cache and dalvik wipe it usually works to search a couple values then shuts down... I noticed that just now and also earlier but didn't think to mention it.
An update to lbe security seems to have fixed it. I have no idea how or why but I'll allow it lol
Edit: I was wrong!
At this point I would suggest a Full Wipe. Then flash the Rom again.

Well this was a surprise! I wiped data, caches etc FULL reinstall of cm 10.1 of the latest nightly and it still crashes.....? That's so weird.
Is there another really good rom that's like cm that I should give a try?
Maybe try to flash another rom (at least for a while) and see if the same thing will happen?

Going to agree with simonna. Try a different Rom. See if you can recreate the issue.

I went with cleanbean. I don't totally love it but it works. I need to make a list of annoying things about this touchwiz thing and then just go through checking out how to get rid of stuff lol
I guess if I want perfect I'll have to build my own rom haha it's like the keyboards all of them have one awesome feature but no one seems to have figured out a way to put them together..... I might have to figure out how to do it myself eventually.

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.

So the other day i go put on a new rom and boot into TWRP to wipe and install. so i do my normal thing (wipe data/system/cache then install rom and gapps then wipe cache again. then reboot. i let it do its 10 min thing. then start to use the phone again. same problem as before (launcher constantly crashing) so i do my wipe and install again. this time i notice i have significantly less room on my data partition. so i go and do another wipe and install to check. this time even less space. i do it a couple more times to see if maybe it will fill up the space and then maybe completely wipe everything. no such luck. no my phone is basically useless with no way to install an OS or boot into the current one. any help on actually doing a real full wipe so that i have room again? i prepared to use odin or whatever i need to do to revert back to full stock then start all over again with the root process just to refresh my skills and get everything brand new again.
please any info would be great since id like to have a working phone again (pulled out the old iphone 4 in the mean time)
thanks guys!
Did you try a full system wipe using Infamous or Dark side to begin with? Try that first before doing anything else and see what happens.

TWRP has a Dalvik cache wipe which, IMO, is basically a factory reset. There may be more to it than I'm aware of. I'm not a dev, so I really can't say one way or another. Infamous and Darkside both have the full wipe which does everything. Anytime I flash a new ROM, I'll run Infamous followed by the TWRP wipe. Haven't had a problem, yet.
Glad it all worked out for you. I know what it's like to be in a situation like that. Been there, myself, a couple of times.
Ok here it goes. my network service is off so i use my droin inc for games and such. running custom rom wildstang83 IceCream Scencless 1.0. im not sure what happened to my phone but i left for 3 days and come back to my phone being totally jacked up. It wot dl apps the google play reverted back to the old market icon. wont save my passwords for google sighn in. every time i go to youtube it says to re dl the google play services. im sure other stuff is messed up too. i have tried to flash another rom but when it gets loaded back up it keeps saying process. whatever failed and there a bunch of those that loop and i have to pull battery. when i try to factory reset it says everything was formatted but when i reboot phone its the sme as it was before apps and all. So is there anyone out there who can help me with this. Sorry if i posted in the wrong place or what not. i wasnt sure where to post it cuz its kinda an advanced question but not really a question just need help.
not a virus but it does sound like your phone might have exhausted all the space in the /data folder. I had a similar thing happen to me before I rooted and fixed my phone where i exhausted the space, itt went a factory reset and put the phone into an unusable state.
i don;t know anything about the rom you are running but are rooted and have CWM installed? if so, you should be able flash a new ROM to your device, GAPPS and optionally, the low space disk fix.

Yes i do have cwm but i tried to flash a new rom via the recovery section. after i choose the zip to flash everything goes as expected untill after the reboot and it goes into the setup part where u have to put gmail password and stuff in then it basically freezes up with unlimited process failures. but i will try again. cant hurt from where it is now.
if you are not doing so already, i would wipe cache and dalvik cache after flashing the rom. that may fix the FCs.
I would also suggest you run a newer jelly bean ROM like Tiny;s 5-16 with his version of GAPPS(4-05) version plus the low space disk fix so you can maintain parity with what is the latest.
I am currently using evervolve 6-25 and it is working well for me.
the reason I say that is these newer JB roms have the ability to let you skip the activation easily. I don;t know if it was some feature of GB roms but the activation wizard in the JB roms seem to be better my opinion.
When switching to a different ROM, it is crucial to wipe /system. This can be a source of FCs. Also, if switching, it is also a good idea to do factory reset.

I just flashed another rom i used in the past by the same dev and so this is my step by step. 1. choose zip from sd. 2. factory reset. 3. wipe dalvik cache. 4. wipe cache partition. If this doesnt work i will try jb roms but i would hate to have to dump the dev that im useing. there the most stabe roms i have come across so far

what do u mean wipe /system. where do i find that. only reason i ask is cuz maybe ive never done that. but i have never had a problem withthe other 15 roms i have flashed before so thats why im so confused about what happened to my phone. all i did was shut it off and leave it home. nothing changed from my daily use before that and it was working top notch before i shut it off
im getting settings fc. youtube fc, my uploads fc, market fc, clock widget fc, internet fc, rss reader fc, htc sence fc, all those off of a fresh flash ad new sd card
Just lost my bckups that were saved on sd card so now i cant even get on it i dont get it. its not bricked but yet it i unstabe to run any rom but the preivious saved backup (now there deleted)
maybe the rom you downloaded is corrupt. worst case scenerio is that your phone is on it;s last legs.....
i would suggest you try downloading the JB rom and Gapps plus the low space fix.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050930
it;s kind of proven to work in my opinion. the 5-16 build is pretty stable.
what I do is flash the rom zip, gapps zip and low space zip, then wipe cache and dalvik. it probably should not make a difference but I am using TWRP as my recovery instead of CWM.
goodluck!

Thank u and its still not working. probably just takeing a dump on me now it is just bootlooping.
when i do a factory reset i get a wipe completed. but it says "no app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext" could that be part of the issue?? ive never noticed that before
i don;t know if switching to TWRP might help you but it might be worth a try. maybe a coincidence but the last time I had a screw up on my Dinc installing a ROM, i was using CWM. I switch right after that. I think i did read something about TWRP specifically supporting the EXT4 Low space fix.
maybe someone more knowledgable can chime in.

i will try it but it is doing the same thing on every rom i have tried to flash. ive tried 6 different roms so far and i have ran them all in the past so im incined to think its jacked. and is there a specific twrp for the different roms or can i just dl the latest version and it will work
Okay, so I have been a flashaholic for the past couple of years and been on the AOKP nightlies for a very long time.
However, since the last month or so, every time I try to flash (clean and dirty) a new ROM or upgrade to a newer nightly, the flashing process goes on pretty smooth as expected. But, here is the thing.... after booting up fine, it starts to optimize the apps and I see it going through the entire cycle of apps. When all the apps are optimized, it says "Starting apps" and this is when I feel a vibrate and the phone reboots and does this over and over. My only way out of this is to boot it back into Recovery (TWRP 2.5) and restore my backup and sadly continue using what I had before this exercise.
I have tried various combinations of wipes, fix permissions, kernels, radios, etc. and am totally stumped here!!
Help please as it bugs me to no end when I see crazy new features the newer ROMs are dishing out and I cannot taste them
by clean what are your actual steps you mind elaborating a bit more of your steps, and with which ROM this happens on have you tried a stable as oppose to a nightly to see if it will fix your errors, as far as flashing do you ever format system in mounts and storage when you flash ROMs ???
Clean: Wipe Cache, Dalvik, Format System, Data. I haven't tried formatting the Internal SD or Preload partitions yet.
This happens with quite a few ROMs... I have tried SlimBean, CM 10.1, AOKP M2, PA so far. See the same behavior on nightlies or stables. I haven't tried Stock ROM yet... maybe should give that a try as well.
Let me know if I can give you more information to help me out.
since it seems to be happening on every ROM for you i would suggest you try going back to stock and re-root and try again, it doesn't take that long it just really sucks to do everything from scratch, but its the only way you are going to know where this problem is coming from also if you are on TWRP 6 that might be the problem everyone has been having lately it sometimes works sometimes doesn't have you tried opening ROM MANAGER and fixing permissions only from within the app...see if that squashes your bugs just trying to give some ideas ....
I would hate to go back to stock and re-root all over again. But if all else fails... I guess that remains as my only option.
I am on TWRP 2.5 for quite some time now and have successfully flashed using that numerous times before this problem started... not sure what you mean by TWRP 6 (you mean 2.6?)
I do not have ROM Manager on my phone, will give that a shot as well before resorting to the "Stock" option.
Thanks for your help!
yeah i ment 2.6 lol DOOHH!! and yeah you def sound like you know what you are doing so im sure you will figure it out just wanted to give you some ideas ... and for the record its always nice to take a break but good luck bro sorry i couldn't help you more
It was an issue with the Kernel I guess!!
Flashing SlimBean b8 + gapps followed by the UBER Kernel after wiping the hell out of everything as my last ditch effort I went past the "Starting apps" while I was feverishly holding onto the Vol UP + DN to get into recovery if it fails again.... to my surprise, it went past that screen and there was the start screen I have been looking forward to.... what drama )
I guess will follow all my flashes with the UBER kernel going forward.
awesome man!! glad you got it fixed - Like i said i knew you would figure it out good stuff man, now you got more knowledge and can help others if they run into the same issue happy flashing ! take care
Hello,
I installed today's nightly on my phone and once it would be done starting the OS, I would see the unlock page, then I assume it crashed and reboot over and over again.
I have tried installing older builds (a day old to a few days old) that used to work, still on sd card, but it crashes-reboots after the whole "optmizing apps" thing, and then gets stuck in bootloader loops.
I have wiped cache and dalvik, not yet done a factory reset as I'm hoping to find another solution if possible.
If not I'll just do that.. but hoping something else is feasible
Any idea?
Thanks!
edit: ooooh I just realized today's nightly was for 11.0, I guess no choice but a wipe then.
edit2: yup that was it, and it feels so much faster... or maybe it is because I have not bloated it yet...
