Hi there,
Longtime lurker, first time poster! Before I get into my issue, I would like to let you all know that I did do my due diligence and didn't find a concrete course of action to address this problem.
Here is what I did (as per Cyanogenmod Wiki)
1. I downgraded the phone to an exploitable version of Froyo
2. I rooted the phone
3. I installed Cyanogenmod 6 (because 7 wasn't working)
4. Installed Google apps for the above version.
5. Market and account wasn't working
6. Found CM version 9 beta
7. Installed that - it worked
8. Installed Google Apps ICS version - worked well
9. I finished doing this sometime in the morning, and the phone worked a good four hours before trouble began
10. I got a call, and post call the call manager (or equivalent Android process) stopped responding. I restarted the phone
11. Since then it has been rebooting after loading the home screen.
12. Post this, I searched online
13. One recommendation was to clear data, cache and restore factory setting via recovery.
14. I also formatted SD card and reinstalled CM 9
15. Issue persisted.
16. I tried another mod (Audacity 3) didn't work and has same issue.
Someone suggested I do a SuperWipe and reinstall the mod.
I would love to hear from you guys in terms of what I can do next. I am sure the device hasn't been bricked - I can still access recovery and bootloader.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Found the solution. The phone was rebooting because of an in compatible build of Google Apps. Downloaded the right one from Cyanogenmod Wiki, and its golden!
ive had the same and android revolution, just flash a rom like andromadus beta 4. or another rom
Thanks!
I did do that for a bit. I tried A different ROM but liked CM better. Also, I made a mistake with the build of google apps - which was the reason it kept rebooting. Have been using it for a couple of weeks and it works great.
Hello guys,
I've been using the Beta 4.0 for a while now and it works brilliantly, so I saw an update beta 3 I had to download it.
It has some bugs, not much apps like how you get in the beta, gapps not installing and my data is off but it is switched on.
Having a android phone with no gapps and data is useless, it's like having a nokia 3310, just phone text and that's it.
Please fix if possible.
Thanks

I installed PA 4.0 Beta 3 as well (yesterday) and I have none of the bugs you're describing: data (3G/2G) works, and Gapps not installing, that depends ENTIRELY on which Gapps you are using. I'm using the latest PA Gapps complete package (23/01/2014) and they just installed for me. So both of the bugs that you're experiencing are only on your end. Are you absolutely sure you set the Data icon correctly, because since Beta 3 PA uses a new Quicksettings systems. See in your systems if it's really working. Also check if your APN is still correct. Download and install the latest version of PA Gapps. If that still doesn't work, you should do a clean install (even though I didn't, I'm coming from CM11 Beta 3, just flashed the latest Gapps and PA 4.0 Beta 3 and everything was good to go).
To be honest you're being rude here and you obviously only tried installing everything once. Well this is a custom ROM scene and you need to do an effort yourself. What I see now is that you're using a "thumbs-down"-icon which is extremely discouraging, comparing this phone to an old dumb phone is also completely out of line because WiFi still works, and there are a ton of other things you could still do even without Gapps and data. This post just smells of you having a sense of entitlement, but don't forget that we're not paying deedwar. If a dev decides not to release a ROM that's very sad and it's all due to threads like these.
So what I'd like you to do now is rephrase your OP, use a positive icon and maybe we can turn this wasted thread into a discussion thread for PA Nozomi instead of a shouting contest.

That is very well said redstarr1 but i dont quite feel as strongly about it as you. I just see it as a logical statement. However it would help if you can expand on your issues somewhat. Did you do a clean install (wipe data / system / cache / dalvik) or just a dirty flash over the top. What network do you connect too and have you tried Changing your carrier in "access point names". Creating a whole thread for an issue but not elaborating on what you have and havent tried really makes it hard to help.
Beta 5
Hi guys,
The latest update beta 5 works just fine but a few bugs.
Sometimes the back button doesn't work, have to restart the phone for it to start working again.
When charging the wireless is activated, and the battery takes longer to charge.
The phone lags now and then but other than that works fine.
If anyone who can post this on the Xperia S development thread I would really appreciate it, I don't have rights to post on the development thread as yet.
Thanks
Beta 6
Hi guys,
The new update of Beta 6 for Paranoid is brilliant.
After the 1st boot the phone is a little slow but after the rom has settled it's very smooth.
So far all I have tested works perfectly, don't like the launcher much though, so I have my own custom launcher, Next launcher works brilliantly and very customizable. The new launcher's that are added aren't very good and would like if they could get the original launcher if possible.
Other than that all is well.
Thanks Paranoidanroid.
Pa beta 4.3 13052014
Thanks deedwar...the rom(PA 4.3 Beta 13052014) works like a charm. My battery lasts for a day...with data on(3G)....although there is issue of random reboots and the date setting to 1972th year...but i think it will be resolved in the next version i.e. Beta 5/6....Love your work..really appreciate it. :good:
Beta 6
Beta 6 is out..!! Great...!! Trying it now..!!
What about VOIP apps(Viber, line etc.) ? do they work on the latest build ? Cheers.
The latest build
Yes, the VOIP does work..(Viber, Skype etc.,)on the latest builds ..however, I am having a few system UI crashes while using option of any app from the notification bar..like when you're downloading an app from Playstore and which you wish to stop or pause from the by pulling down the notification bar. or using controls of the stock android walkman app.

is this room can accept for xpeeria sl lt26ii
plz help me ti find room to my phone 4.4.2
and how can use this room to my phone
I had installed beta 4. A few days ago I installed beta6 but after install and reboot sony logo appears and mobile does nothing more. I restored a backup and today I tried to install beta7 with the same problem. Has anyone the same problem or have any idea to solve it?
How did you install the ROM?
I assume you did wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing any ROM since you've installed several ROMs. If not, please do so.
Try flashing (with fastboot) a new kernel (twrp or cwm) followed by: (1) factory reset, (2) wipe cache, (3) wipe dalvik cache and then (4) install PA Beta 7.

I did factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik but It didn't work.
I had some troubles trying to restore an old backup after the last failed installation. After the failed restore I tried to install Beta 7 again and It worked. I do not know why, but now I have beta7 working perfectly.
Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately, ant+ does not work with android version 4.3 and onwards. This has something to do with the drivers I believe (not sure though). So it doesn't matter which ROM you try: all 4.3.x or 4.4.x will not have ant+ support...

Hi, I flashed CM 10.2 on my Galaxy S4, and I used titanium backup to restore all my apps, only apps I didn't choose was TouchWiz and the TouchWiz simpler one. And it said I needed to reboot my device for the changes to apply, so I did that. When I rebooted it said everything stopped working. Even the core thing. Screen went black. Then I took out the battery and when I tried to go to my custom recovery, it just skipped the recovery screen and booted into cm again and same thing happened. Everything just stopped working. Help please. Also I am able to get into download mode. I just don't know how to recover from this. I am running 4.3.1 cm nightly, well I was. I don't know if I could count it was 4.3
if you are able to access the download mode then flash a stock rom. then root your device again.
New to the world of Custom ROMs. A week ago I installed CM 13 which took great courage on my part and wanted to share my experience, issues and discuss possible solutions.
My phone had the latest lollipop on it. And McCafee locked. The steps that worked for me where
1) Did a factory reset and bumped into mccafee.
2) Tried download mode but kill switch was enabled.
3) Rebooted the phone to face mccafee, tried 123465 pin which worked.
4) Disengaged McCafee but not before transferring ownership to my email.
5) Tried rooting didnt work with any method.
6) Rolled back to d software version stock lollipop.
7) Rooted with PurpleDrake
8) Replaced with CM recovery didnt work.
9) Replaced with TWRP and rebooted directly to recovery
10) Installed CM and gapps mini. Worked fine. Voila!
Issues:
1) No Custom recovery sticks, whenever I flash with a custom recovery like TWRP or Clockwork. I have to reboot into recovery immediately or the custom recovery is replaced by stock. It happens on every second reboot.
My concern is here if I get stuck into bootloop and dont have a custom recovery I might not have any other option than the stock ROM which does a full reset. How can make TWRP stick forever?
2) After installation of Custom ROM there have been random reboots, I suspect there is something here with phone app or voice. So far the reboots have been when I try to call using fb messenger, appear.in and phone app itself.
Is there a guide that tells me how to track this down?
Can I install a newer Nightly and hope this get fixed?
How can I retain my apps and data when installing a newer nightly? since all guides ask to wipe everything :S
I have a backup of system and data partitions, can I use that with other ROMs.
What ROMs have a better chance of fixing this issue?
Coudnt find Stock M for D850. Why arent those available?
Should an Official ROM be more reliable than CM for this?
3) Bad signal reception so far. It may be a generic g3 issue.
Can I hope that this issue be fixed with a different ROM or updates from Cynogen?
Someone said you may have to flash the radio partition. My question is where can I get a brief understanding of what partitions there are in android and which are risky. Which ones can be replaced, backedup and replaced back.
4) Whenever the phone reboots, it gets stuck into bootloop unless I remove the SIM card. Then I power off and install SIM Card and reboot and it boots fine.
I am already tracking CM changelog for something important. Cant post urls as of now :S
Hello droiders,
Bit of a noob here. So I decided to try and jump up 4 versions on my I-9195 from 4.2.2 to 8.1 to give myself a phone that actually can use some stuff!
as i'm on a Mac, i used Jodin to root (wiped phone first), installed TWRP and superSU, then flashed Ressurection Remix v6.0. It works smoothly enough on the ROM's apps, but the stock open G-apps I flashed on it are not really happy at all and keep crashing and repeatedly saying they've 'stopped'. Connected OK to wifi and can use phone. No interface slowness or anything. Just the darn g-apps.
Any suggestions?
edit: FIXED!
I simply flashed G-apps directly after the ROM, and wiped caches. Phew, no one told me that coudl avert such a ****-up so easily
Make a new full wipe, flash ROM and gapps at the same time and than reboot.
As Gapps Version is pico or nano recommend
Thanks, that's what fixed it.
Do you know why I keep getting 'program not responding' messages, and then when I press 'Wait', they immediately start responding? Is there a way to get rid of these annoying popups?
