I loaded the ROM in this thread and am having a couple of issues...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481234
I am not new to ROMs but this is the first time I have spent any real time with anything other than a stock flash or a CM stable or nightly. I will list my issues below but am not sure if I should just pursue a different ROM for my needs or if I should spend more time troubleshooting it.
1) I get a google apps error when I first boot my phone. "Unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped"
2) google hangout sends but does not receive
3) instagram will not load my feed. I can install and login but get no content.
All I have really done is remove and reinstall apps. I did have to load the modem from the link the dev supplied to get data to work but it has been OK since. I was thinking about reinstalling the google apps package but didnt want to spend a bunch of time on it. I haven't seen huge performance differences really. I was jsut trying to save the time of going in and manually stripping out some of the sprint crap I don't use. I really only had two objectives with htis flash. First to avoid the Knox update and second, to make my life easier than going back through with a system cleanup app. I also secretly like the Sprint touchwiz interface but that is just a comfort thing really.
So what do you guys think? keep plugging at this or go to a less stripped ROM?
Hey, I'm sorry you are having issues. I don't think you should flash a gapps package. Did you completely wipe the phone before installing Barebones? I have another version you can try if you'd like. Try flashing version 1.0 and see if it works better.
Pretty sure I did. Its part of my usual routine to wipe it all before flashing anything. I did remember that I added an ad blocker app. When I removed that instagram and hangouts started working again. Now I just get the error at startup. Going to use the phone as is for a day before I decide to do anything else. Thanks for the help.
Let me know how it's working, I removed quite a bit so maybe I need to redo it. I don't think anyone had issues with v1.0 though. Thanks for the feedback

Hello,
I'm having a problem where my touch screen is no longer recognizing where I touch. I have been in the process in rooting my kindle, flashing the CM10 jelly bean ROM with SGT7 enhancements, and trying to install access to the Google Play. I did a backup before I rooted the kindle, but I haven't done any additional backups along the way.
Everything seemed to be fine until I started trying to install access to Google Play. I did not have it by default with the ROM so I went looking for it. I read the forums and tried a few things that other people had done but had no success (the google framework would not install) until I tried a procedure I found on youtube that someone else had had success with. After I installed it, I had two new icons "Market" and "Market Opener". When I selected either one of them, I was prompted to create an goodle account for my device, but the request always returned with an error saying the connection could not access the google server. So, I began looking around in all my settings to see if I could find a setting that might affect the success for failure of trying to do this, and I started having a lot of trouble with the touchpad responsiveness as I tried to navigate around the menus. It was very frustrating. So, since I had not done a back up before installing the market apps, I tried to uninstall it. But, the touch screen was just not cooperating. So, I went a step further and rebooted to recovery to see if I could uninstall the apps from there. But again, the touchpad was still not cooperating. It was very inconsistent and would respond to very few touches. So finally, I decided the heck with it and want to restore my backup to the stock kindle and start all over again. However, the touch screen won't recognize the swipe to confirm restoring the backup. So now I am hosed and I don't know what to do.
Is there any way to restore a backup through my PC using adb?
Here's what I think I have installed:
fff-u-boot_v1.4a.zip
KFU v0.9.6
openrecovery-twrp-2.2.0-blaze.img
cm-10-20120817-2143-SNAPSHOT-otter-sgt7-linaro.zip
ROOTexplorer.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
KindleFireAndroidMarket.zip
MarketOpener.apk
I'm pretty new at this, so any hand-holding you can offer would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Valerie
P.S. It's also very puzzling to me why it seems to hard to find the right stuff to install in order to get access to Google Play. Any idea why it is so hard? I'd just like to understand. Thanks.

Wow, no one has responded to my post. This must be a problem no one has seen before. Leave it to me to find new ways to screw up!
Well, I've made a little progress getting my system back to a usable state. I was able to set the system back to factory defaults. Of course I lost all of my customized settings, but at this I don't really care. The touch screen works much better now. If I had to guess (but I could be wrong) I would say that my touch screen troubles were due to having played with the wallpaper settings (and maybe combined with placing widgets on the home screen). There might be something screwy going on there, but I don't know for sure, and I don't want to go back and attempt to recreate the problem right now.
Now, I still have the problem of not being able to connect to the market. I also have read other people's posts where they refer to the "google play" app. I have not seen a google play app. All I have is a "market" app. Where do I get the google play app?

You need to flash a gapps archive appropriate for the ROM you have flashed on your system. Those other packages you have installed are for getting google play to work on the stock system. For a custom ROM, you just need to install gapps.
http://goo.im/gapps
Again, make sure you match the right gapps package for the system you are running. CM10 is JB, CM9 is ICS, etc. I'm not sure how the play/market packages you've already installed would affect the ROM. Just to be safe, I would just go back to TWRP, use factory reset to get back to a clean slate, reflash the ROM and then the gapps package. Then a reboot will take you straight into google's configuration wizard. Register your google account and you'll find google play ready for use among the installed applications.
Thank you!

Thank you very much kinfauns, I am now up and running. Your help is very much appreciated!
I'd been using FF18 for quite a while without incident, but after upgrading to FI27 (not OTA, via the one-click method), Google Play is hanging the system immediately after successfully downloading and installing any given app. It puts me on the usual page allowing me to open the app, I press open, and wham, the system freezes until it reboots automatically about a minute later. The app that I installed then runs fine.
(In testing this several times, I should mention that one time I actually was able to open an app I just installed, but it hung about 10 seconds in, and the system rebooted as usual. It ran fine after that.)
I've searched around a bit for this and see that I'm hardly the first to encounter this issue. Sometimes it occurs when no recent update has been performed at all. Unfortunately, I haven't really found a solution yet. The best I've seen is to delete the data for Google Play and Download manager, and rebooting, which I've done to no effect. I've also tried uninstalling Google Play, but I think in this case that just leaves me with the same version that I had, the one that came with FI27 (in any case, that didn't help either).
How does one go about troubleshooting this type of problem? I suppose wiping out the phone and starting over would fix it, but I was hoping for more of a surgical rather than nuclear approach. After all, on a PC, you don't reformat when you have a problem with a program.
Have you tried wiping the data for google services framework?

I hadn't, but I did just now (there was just over 4MB there), along with a reboot following, and unfortunately it didn't help. Maybe Google Play services too, or something else?
Try deleting data for anything that says google play.

You stated you upgraded so I'm assuming you didn't do a fresh install. Even if you did do a fresh install, restoring data & apps from an older version could cause problems. You should try a fresh load and work your way back from there.
Edit: Saw you did the one-click. Still think you should try a full wipe and try it again with a fresh load to see how it goes.

I've now done that (though one or two had no data), along with the framework one you mentioned earlier, followed by a reboot, but it still happens. Arghh!

Yes, I chose the nodata FI27, since it said that it was good for same-version or upgrades (in this case, ICS to ICS), but I will choose the nuke-from-space one if there's no way out of this, though wouldn't just resetting to factory defaults at this point do the same thing?
It's a little bit disturbing that an issue with one app, albeit an important (though not essential) one, can require wiping the phone. If this were to come up again for some reason, maybe just one day out of the blue and not related to putting on a new ROM, it would be nice to know a way out.
Perhaps I can grab a log from somewhere with ADB?

If you have a custom kernel with recovery make a backup. Or get one and do it and then do a full wipe and fresh load. That is the only way you'll know for sure.
Yes, I will, but I thought I'd live with it a while to see what I could learn.
I've found that opening the newly-installed app is not the issue: simply installing a new app is. If I wait on the "Open" screen right after an install, and do nothing, within a minute the system will freeze and reboot.
Interestingly, updating apps does not trigger the problem, as numerous apps have updated this week, even one that Google Play wanted me to approve manually. Go figure.
Anyway, I have a logcat of an example in case anyone is interested. In this case, I initiated an install at 15:26, which is when the log begins. It ends shortly after the reboot.

I have a ATT Note 2. I flashed a new Rom on it and some of my core apps didn't work. Message was a "app not installed". So then I tried another ROM and the I got several failures like goodle play, google mail, goodle sound and talk. Sometimes my texting would stop working. I tried to go to the cloud but continued to get network not working for that and maps also. I flashed a 3rd ROM and the same things I am currently on the NOTRtoriusrom now. I tried to reinstall the gapps zip file. No change. I do have some function of my phone. Different things stop work at various times. I cant download any apps or my back-up cause I cant get into play store. I would very much appreciate any help that anyone can give me.
Thanks Billy

I would suggest using one of the newer ROMs, such as the international port available for our devices. It runs super smooth and even has a nice AOSP theme to go with it.
Also make sure that you are performing full wipes between ROMs, as some of the symptoms you have described are that of an unclean flash when switching ROMs. Losing user data sucks, but comes with the territory of being apart of the moding community.
there is no " NOTRtoriusrom" for this phone; you probably flashed something not for this phone, and thats why you are having problems...
Yes there is

sounds like you are just dirty flashing everything.
my suggestion is have the most up to date CWM or TWRP recovery and make sure you factory reset and wipe everything before flashing a rom.
I would suggest flashing one of the TW roms like Novella, Jedi, and Cleanrom cuz its just one zip and you should be good to go after that.
Hello, I apologize in advance for my writing, but I am French, I do my best not to make too many mistakes
So my problem appeared for the first time today when I wanted to change ROM, I was under ParanoidAndroid, I wanted to go under UKG (UltimatumKang), I wanted to start on something clean, so j 'I utlise Nexus Root Toolkit to do a clean install and replace the stock version before UKG. Once installed UKG, could not get my applications that automatically download normally, they are all on the waiting list, the first is in progress, but it does not move, it's like an infinite loop. When I stop the recovery and I'm trying to download only one application, it works.
Strangely it also do it for the updates, I can not update multiple applications at once, but only one by one.
I'm annoyed because I do not really want to download my apps one by one.
So, someone have an idea ?
EDIT : Now, I've the same problem on stock version of Jelly Bean.
I had this happen once a year or so ago. What had happened was, as I understand it, the Play Store only allows a certain amount of auto-downloads at a certain time. I flashed a ROM, it restored, flashed a different ROM, all downloads stopped. I don't think anybody knows exactly how many, but lets say 50 for example.. After downloading the 50 apps you are allowed to download within the allotted time, you are cut off. The Play Store will allow you to download apps again in 24 hours, you will have to wait it out.
The last time I've use the restoration was two weeks ago, but I'll wait to see.
Thanks a lot for your help ! I appreciate a lot
EDIT : It seems that it's Google Talk/Hangouts who complicate the thing. I'll see it tomorrow.
Hi
Just wondering if anyone else has this problem or if it's just my phone.
Ever since 5.0.1 upgrade my phone takes ages installing apps. 1-5mb apps that usually took like a couple seconds to install, now takes 20-25 seconds.
Bigger apps takes a lot longer to install. Seeing as updates often come in bulk, my phone can spend anywhere from 2-3 minutes to 15-16 minutes updating.
My phone is xx.401.xx . 100% stock.
Any tips on either how to fix this or if this is just something i have to live with until 5.1?
Thanks in advance.
(Did search for similar threads before posting. In case I overlooked any).
Noticed I posted in wrong forum. Can any moderator please help me put this in Q&A?
Hm i think i can see a difference compared to KK too. Its not as terrible as you described it, but the installation process definately takes longer on my M8.
But i experienced the same on my old Z3 Compact after updating to Lollipop, so maybe the installation process has been changed?
You forgot to mention that optimizing 300 stock apps takes around 30minutes instead of 5 minutes. The main reason for this lag is the art runtime vs the old dalvik.

Not entirely sure I understand what you're getting at here. I'm not talking about the initial boot up after installing 5.0.1. I'm talking about every app update from the market.
I.E. Every time facebook messenger or chrome or any other app realease an update. So this is the daily updating. Not the OTA "optimizing".

That might very well be, but that's the answer i'm looking for. Whether this is just something I have to live with, or if there's something that can be done about it.
It's agonizing waiting several minutes to use an app, when I realize there's something I need or want to play w/e.

the only app I find that takes ages to update or install is faceache I mean facebook, whgy 'o why do they have to put out a new massive update everyday.
after your update to Lollipop, did you do a factory reset ? they recommand this due to the change over from dalvik to ART.

I know. The update frequency on a couple apps is ridicilous.
However. I didn't install the OTA update. I installed the update from zip before the phone prompted. I'm way to impatient to wait for an OTA when I know I can install
Anyhow.. I guess I could try a Hard Reset. What is the best way to make sure my phone is identical after the update? I hate relying on google backup. As more often than not, I find it doesn't install all apps I had pre reset etc. Usually end up installing a ton of apps I had uninstalled, and doesn't install a lot of apps I would've wanted.
To answer your question properly; I did not do a factory reset after the install. As I did it before I even installed the update. Dunno if that makes any difference.

if you factory reset and then installed the RUU then id guess its the same as a full fresh install, the above recomendation only really applies to people who updated with the OTA.
