Jumbled text - Paranoid Android Q&A

I have seen a few with the same "jumbled texts" but this is the first time from stock and came from a fresh install then updated to beta 3 via 'dirty' install. A restart fixes it.

Problem with Flip board!

Hey guys i have been using flipboard app which was taken from the galaxy s3.But today i received an update when i tried to install it ,it gave me some package parsing error.So i downloaded it from the web and side loaded it myself but now the app wont work....it just gives a blank screen whenever i open it...is there any way to fix it or should i go back to the previous version?...
Mine did it too, I uninstalled completely and then installed again and it worked. That said in the two hours since I sideloaded the beta they updated from build63 to build 65 which fixes the blank screen when updating from the leaked S3 version. Try downloading the beta again from FB site and it should update fine if you want to keep your data!
I have no problem updating to the latest version.
Attached here the latest apk (Flipboard 1.8.4 beta 1, 65)
Has the 3 dot issue been resolved in this update?.....i always get that annoying 3 dots at the bottom of the screen!...

[Q] jandycan no longer updating apps - help please

Hello. I installed jandycane like 6 months ago on my kindle fire which I rooted and then installed jandycane.
Like I said - awesome and works great.
Over the weekend, any app that I have which is refreshed to fetch latest updates no longer works -
for example, my mail for hotmail and gmail i get error message stating cannot connect to mail server. my flipboard will not refresh. youtube will not let me sign in - i hit the sign in button and get "an error occured" and the trending youtube video page is no longer updating.
I have rebooted 3 times and nothing changed. My linkedin will not refresh - basically everything seems to be stuck on last Saturday....
HELP PLEASE.
Woww good time for a fresh flash after a full wipe. Start new new rom new gapps.

UI crashes on CM11 M6

Hi there,
I got a refurbished otter at the beginning of the week. I followed the guides here to install FFF, TWRP and CM11 on it.
First, a big thanks to everyone involved.
I'm getting what look like UI crashes, which I've been able to reproduce with Firefox but it seems they are not limited to it.
To reproduce:
flash FFF, TWRP and CM11 M6
install FF from the Play Store
configure Firefox sync
browse to any page
I should note that I configured my Google account at boot, and that I use a Hebrew locale.
On my device, I get a blank screen, followed by a return to the launcher or previously opened app, followed by more crashes until the CM boot animation shows on top of the launcher. When it completes, a dialogue appears noting the system UI has stopped working. It returns after confirming the message.
Should I report this to Mozilla and/or CM? I'd like to collect more information, where can I find any relevant logs? If so, is it possible to increase the logs' verbosity?
Thanks in advance.

I'm getting those same notification/notification bar/UI crashes on Nook HD+ using CM11 (nightlies and M6). I don't use firefox, so that is not your problem
I was actually getting them more in the previous nightly builds. CM11 M6 seems to have helped a little.
Mine happen seemingly randomly when I get notifications for a new email or hangout and I try to swipe down the notification bar to see what they are.
I've tried wiping the davlik, the entire cache, and even doing a factory reset. Nothing seems to work.
Anyone else have some advice?

I have the exact same issue for about 2 months i believe.
This happens usually when pulling the notification panel down. It think it happens when you chain a lot of actions one after other. Like unlocking phone and pulling down the notification than tapping another thing etc...etc...
Hope this will be fixed soon, it usually disturbs the usage a lot. I was hoping M6 would solve that.
Back to m5 guys, my Galaxy Nexus has the same problem here, so I revert back to m5 and everything works fine, except the stock browser has startup crash sometime
Does anyone know if the devs are aware of this issue?
I just reproduced this on today's OtterX CM build.
I'm having the same problem. Had been running one of the earlier nightlies without any notification bar problems at all. Updated to the M6 release and now this problem occurs every few minutes. System is now totally unstable with M6. Firefox crashes more frequently now too.

ARG! Sure wish I had seen this before spending the whole day restoring my Kindle to the older nightly after having to wipe it.

I followed your steps exactly and I am not able to get this problem to occur. Are there any other steps you you may have omitted? Any other apps you installed or any other actions you performed in addition to what you listed here? Also, are you sure it's "any page"? Is there a specific site you were trying to go to when this happened? I'm trying to work on a fix for this issue and was hoping I could reproduce the problem based on your information but my device is still functioning fine. The more information you can provide the better and ideally I'd like something that can be reproduced consistently.

Since I have now reflashed back to my older nightly I can't give you exact steps but here is what I experienced. I also got a stock KF a while ago and since I didn't want the stock release, followed the instructions to reflash it. At that point I did the full device wipe and flashed the 20140407 nightly build. No problems at all, the system ran beautifully. This week, I got the notification that M6 was available for installation so I went to Settings->About tablet->CM Updates->Available Updates and clicked the download. It downloaded and installed without any problem. Rebooted and problems began immediately. Firefox was immediately unstable and began crashing frequently. The "UI" would hang and go black then crash and come back up in lock screen. Pulling the notification bar open would hang and then the system would crash. Things really became completely unuseable.
So today I tried rolling back to the previous nightly that had worked well. This time, I didn't wipe the device, just reinstalled the nightly and wiped the cache after installation. See my previous thread about how that turned out. The status bar was totally hosed, the quick settings panel didn't work, the home button didn't work, the extended power menu was gone. Just a complete mess. So... I wiped the device and reinstalled the nightly and brought everything back to life again.
Now I don't know if the issues were caused by a flakey M6 release, or the installation process which left some droppings behind as I didn't try installing the M6 release after a full wipe. But I do know that after a full wipe the 20140407 nightly is working without a problem. I can't say for sure but my expectation is that it had something to do with the installation process not doing a clean install rather than a bad M6 release.
I made a test build which reverts a change I suspect may be the culprit. If anyone cares to try it out, here is the link. Please do not go around sharing this will a lot of people since it is currently hosted on Dropbox and they will throttle it if too much traffic is received.

Dropbox is still syncing so if you get an error 404 just try again in a couple minutes.

I saw in the bug report you've already found a way to reproduce, but just in case, as I wrote there I've found it reproduces by installing Adblock Plus - I close the app completely in the app drawer to make sure FF restarts with the add-on installed. After it restarts it should show a quick configuration page where you can enable blocking of secondary things like tracking and malware. In the first paragraph is a link to another settings page. In this other page all I have to do is zoom in or scroll around and most of the time I'll get a crash within a minute.

It looks like there has been a fix for this problem. Has the fix been incorporated into one of the nightly builds or is it still only available as a patch?

Does anyone know if this has been fixed in one of the nightly builds? Has anyone tried any of the post M6 nightly builds yet?

Had the same issue with M6 but now I thing they have fixed the issue, not sure which nightly build but build dated 20140602 fixed the issue for me.
I did a clean install.
Followed following steps.
1. Boot into recovery(CWM).
2. Factory Reset.
3. Cleared Dalvik cache.
4. Installed zip and run "defy_fullwipe_ext3.zip"
5. Installed "cm-11-20140602-NIGHTLY- i9300"
6. Installed Gapps for kitkat.
7. Reboot.
I have not faced the same UI crash issue so far will update if I face in future .
For "defy_fullwipe_ext3.zip" refer following link(I used the first one):

While downloading, file disappears before 100%

I have an issue that sprouted about a month ago. No matter what ROM I'm running, if I start to download a file (a new ROM zip, for example) it just disappears mid-download. I'll get to maybe 30%, then it's just gone. I have to go back to the link and click download again.
The only way I can sometimes get through a whole download is to change display settings so that my screen stays on throughout the whole download process. If I close my screen or do anything else, like go to another app, the download disappears at some point, every time!
Any suggestions? Phone didn't do this when I first got it or even after I rooted and ran a custom ROM for a while. It just started randomly..
Happened to me too. Was downloading a ROM and it just disappeared twice (once at 99%). Had to download via ADM.
Same here happens a lot to me, happened in community beta and oxygen os.. So using adm now
yep same here too. FreedomOS 1.5.1 (oos 3.2.6)
Same problem for me too. Even while downloading from play store(1GB+ games etc)
Hopefully this is addressed then, because obviously it's not just me.
Is anyone here using chrome as their browser?
I was told to try an alternative. Now downloads are fine. I'm using Pyrope browser. It's great and it's in the play store.
So i had this issue. Last few days nearly all rom downloads from different sources got aborted. I had a homebutton that was a bit wonkey so i decided to wipe all partitions, including internal storage and sideload oos 3.2.7 to see if it would solve that issue.
So i did. And then after reading this thread decided on a little test. I downloaded 4 roms from different sources including from afh and none aborted.
I can't be absolutely sure at this point that the the full wipe did the trick but it sure looks like it. I'll keep a lookout to see if the issue remains solved.
Here the same probmem ... Corruopted file system?
Still happening for me. Is it because of Chrome?
Play store downloads and third party downloaded are fine
It'a a chrome issue.

Two versions of Contacts app. Won't upgrade.

I downloaded the apk from apk mirror for the new 2.0 contacts app. Instead of upgrading the current app, it installed it next to the current app, resulting in two versions at the same time. I don't see contacts in the store either. Has anyone seen this happen?
My system app is still on 1.4.17. I'm completely stock.
I reset my phone with the same result. The contacts up won't update. Installing the newer version installs it separately.
