Hello to all, I am asking for some help and advices and I think this might be an interesting problem for some of you. I can't really explain it very well, but I will try to provide as much info as I can, so let's start. Since the past 20 days, I have tried Mokee 5.1.1 Release after trying Resssurection as my first Lollipop experience and I liked it, it was stable, fluid and different. I had some bugs and issues with Ressurection which I couldn't accept, so Mokee surprised me nicely. So I arranged it all up, everything that I need and didn't face any bug or even crash for about 10 days or more. So one day I was upgrading or something like that and wiped dalvik cache and cache with TWRP 2.8.7.0. After flashing, there was that app optimization process which is normal, and after that the phone wasn't booting. It would show my wallpaper and background material for a moment or 2-3 seconds max and then rebooting again and again. So I have restored the nandroid backup and it was fine. I guess if I can remember well that I was using that backup for about a few hours and it was fine and then I did something and it couldn't reboot again and my background was blinking. So I was messing with all of that and decided to try CM12.1 R15 and Ressurection 5.3.4 i think. After wiping everything except external SD of course and flashing it, everything was fine while setting it up and restoring my apps and data. And then after some time I wiped dalvik cache and cache, for some reason I had to do it, probably to flash xcelerate kernel and boot image before it and then again the phone couldn't reboot with background blinking, so it's the same problem. But now it's even worse, when I make a nandroid backup, I can't restore it, it won't reboot which means the problem is present all the time. So I tried this :
1. Wiping everything except external SD and flashing the same or a different Rom works, but the problem appears again sooner or later after setting the ROM and apps. The last thing I tried is to wipe dalvik and other catches and rebooting few times after flashing fresh ROM without setting it up or doing anything, and everything was fine, phone rebooted every time. I am confused because I am pretty sure that the problem appeared for the first time after wiping catches and rebooting and then just remained.
2. I have tried to repair system in TWRP, didn't work. Tried wiping only system partition and catches, didn't work. So it doesn't work by wiping system, but it works after a fresh flash of a ROM. Now for the few days I am using Mokee without xcelerate and other kernels, so I guess it's not because of a kernel, which I used before when it started for the first time. I have also tried to boot without SD card, didn't work. Every time the background blinks for a few times and then it reboots from a Mokee logo, and again, and again, always the same process.
Some apps that I am using which I gave a root acess : System Tuner ( Using it only for Freezing things that I don't need, deleting things that I really don't need, managing startups, backing only apps without data and clearing cache ). For appdata I use Helium and it works every time, great program. I am 99% sure that I am not doing anything wrong with system tuner, I know what to freeze and what to delete and what to startup. And after all of that, the problem doesn't appear and appears mostly if I remember correctly after wiping Dalvik and catches. Other apps with root acess are greenify, ES file explorer, xbooster which I rarely use and maybe 1 or 2 other apps which I always use. Before I used Chainfire's SuperSU and Stericsson's Busybox too and everything was working very well till the problem appeared for some reason. I don't use xposed framework on lollipop yet if it matters. And another thing, for wallpaper I use some picture with 1600x1200 resolution or similar, but it's bigger than 1270x720. Can that be a problem ?
So, I apologize for such a long and repetitive text hehe, I am just asking what do you think why is this happening ? Should I flash a fastboot rom with MiFlash, will that fix it ? will I be able after doing that to install Mokee or another 5.1.1 rom with all my apps and settings without facing this again ? TWRP is 2.8.7.0., is this version stable enough, is that a source of a problem ?
Whatever answer I get, thanks in advance and cheers !
Hi again, I have realized what caused all of this trouble, it's a bit unusual. After flashing the stock rom via MiFlash and doing everything else, it was clear. It was all because of Apex launcher, without a custom theme. It seems that Apex was compatible with some older version of Mokee and other LP roms, but those last few updates couldn't support it anymore. Too bad, I really liked Apex, it was very practical for me with a lot of options to use, while being lightweight. Now I need to find another launcher which can offer me similar experience till Apex is updated if ever, but I am a bit sceptic. The thread can be closed, thank you.

I think i've just got my head around ROMs and all the other millions of acronyms. I do like the look of the Oxygen ROM, only i'm not a fan of the green icons in the status bar, is the colour changeable, and does anyone suggest Oxygen as a good ROM to flash for a first timer?
I must add i love the dark bar and prefer having a dark background, so silver/bright etc task bars are a no no
Cheers.
Oxygen is a great ROM, but i would reccomend u go for a froyo rom first so u got more options with themes and such. but rly its a matter of taste and what u want .. stability or experimental.
Experimental: CyanogenMod 7
Stable: eMIUI, Oxygen 1.0.4
Sense roms?
Hmm im using Sense HD port now, since everything works. its stable¨
im using InsertCoin with my own tweaks and theme
u can allways check out my FroSTeD GingerBread theme for Oxygen 1.0.4^^
Rom and theme here
BUT, if u decide to go for a Android 2.3 Rom i rly recommend CM 7, Oxygen 2 RC7 is just as good but less theming options i think.
Heres a nice theme for CM7 Rom

I tried the insert coin 1.8 and got caught in a never ending bootloop lol.
I have Leedroid 2.3d A2SD. It's slick and stable and had no issues with it.

then u did not do it right. read the whole first page. then u can complain if u did everything 100%. ive not had 1 single rom on bootloop. to get insertcoin to work u need EXT 4 partition with 1gb recommended. its not hard if u actually read what to do istead of just trying the easy way like Leedroid is. and leedroid was boring and old news
Well im now running on Oxygen 2.3.2 which is really nice.
However...i keep getting a message saying "The application settings (android.process.media) has stopped unexpectadly. Please try again"
This is ALWAYS the case when i choose the "sound" option from the settings menu.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
It means you didn't wipe properly before installing the rom. Boot in to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache (under advanced) start up and see if the problem persists, if yes you need to do a full wipe(data/factory reset, cache and dalvik cache).
Shall give it a go. Odd seeing as i did wipe it all before 0_0
Also, i assume if i factory reset, is that from the recovery menu, and then re install the ROM?
Yes, all wipes from recovery and then reflash the rom. Keep in mind all the data on the phone will be gone.
Exactly the same problem...i'm using Launcher Pro Plus if that's any help.
This is precisely why i've put off flashing ROMs for this long, to prevent naffing up my phone, and now
Well if you don't want any issues I don't understand why you would install a RC, also I'm pretty sure the fc is not a rom issue but a user issue.
If you did everything correctly you should have a normal functioning rom (except form the know issues), even with launcher pro plus cause i have the same setup.
Have you ever disabled signature verification? If yes there is a small chance your issues are caused by a corrupted zip file.
If you can't get oxygen to work and want a really stable custom rom use Leedroid. If you are done with rooting and custom rom's just run the latest RUU.
Thanks for the quick reply, where can i access the lastest RUUs to flash them from please? I may well try again at a later date, but it seems too much hassle currently with having to reset and change everything *sigh*
I've just reset to the last point using Nandroid before i flashed the ROM. I've still got root access which is good, but everything runs back to normal now.
A brief foray into the murky waters lol!
mrfish123,
Pretty sure I know what is causing your problem as I recently resolved this issue myself. If I'm right you did a full wipe before installing, but the issues started after restoring your apps (titanium backup?).
What I was doing was wiping and then restoring all apps with data. Lots of these are system settings/apps which come from the old ROM, so in effect you re restoring all the stuff you wiped in the first place.
What you need to do is:
Wipe (system wipe from recovery, and do the chache and dalvik cache too for good measure).
Install ROM
In Titanium select 'restore missing apps with data', but before you run it, go through the list and uncheck absolutely everything which is not obviously an app you have installed yourself, so anything HTC, system etc. You only want to restore your apps.
Once I did this I had no issue installing a custom ROM, and have had no problems running it for over a week.

Hello,
I've installed Hensemod a few times now, without any problems the first time I boot the phone.
Only after that, when restarting or turning the phone on again, it takes very long to start, like it's installing again and then the internal memory is suddenly full, even though I had about 100mb when turning the phone off. Also, all apps I installed are gone. In the applications list (in settings) they seem to still be there, but they're all 0kb and there's no shortcuts to them in the programs overview... Like I said, I've installed the Hensemod a few times now, and every time this happens.
Anyone knows how to solve this? I really like this rom, I can finally install and update all apps I want without the phone becoming unusable because of full internal memory! Thanks!
Carolien
I used HenseModv3 is a nice ROM, u must have to wipe all the data, cache and dalvick cache in the CWM recovery section, then install the HenseMod ROM.
If any other problem, plz share.
I followed all the steps stated in the development forum post, it works fine, just cant restart the phone because it will stop working...
My phone just continuesly restart...
Plug off ur battery, then go to CWM recovery, try to intall any other/different ROM.
I install each ROM by above method,i didn't use fastboot uncheck option.
Never mind I was just being stupid... I wiped the cache partition and not the dalvik cache. Sorry about that! Let's see if it will work now. Installing rom at the moment.
And again... first boot worked fine, after that I'm stuck in a bootloop now... Just like couldzxz. Too bad! I'll have to try yet another mod. Hope the next update of hensemod will solve this!
yes, u can try different custom ROM if any problems with a particular ROM
wait for next updates from Henry_01
I got stuck in bootloop too. I reqlly like the rom but well.. :/

Okay, i've seen your problems.
I've tested latest build, but didnt rebooted it.
I suggest you all use a previous version (3).
Problem can be also kernel related.
I don't have time now (exams), I will make a proper working build after some weeks.
Don't hesitate to post here further, I want to know if it is ROM or phone related.
BIG EDIT: i will include link for version 3.
Thanks to djpc for a new hack which will solve reboot/kernel/overclock problems.
Expect a build and a proper test on friday or saterday.
I will change links now so that you will get a good version lol.
Somehow, the fifth time in installed the latest Hensemod rom, it worked like a charm. I can reboot, have installed and updated all apps I wanted and still got like 90mb remaining. Fantastic! Finally after 6 months I have the phone I wanted.
First and second install I couldn't reboot
Third install I got stuck in a bootloop
Fourth install gapps crashed every 2 seconds (due to calendar and contacts synchronization)
Fifth install = perfect!
I don't know how it happened, I just kept on installing this one so I could copy another rom on the sd card since I don't have an adapter or card reader for it.
Thanks!
HI all,
I've flashed CWM5.5 from the recomended thread and installed Cyanogen 9 Alpha 1. Unfortunatly the phone seems to boot up but does never leave the boot animation screen (yes I've also flashed gapps after cyanogen).
Anyone can identify this pattern? On a normal device I could hook it up through a serial cable and try to debug the boot... Eventually how can I do that with a I8150?
Well, any help would be most welcome. I'm totally available for testing and I do have some experience with Linux even at a very low level/system space.
Install
Use CWM5.
Warning: Only use this recovery to flash CM9. Otherwise, you risk bricking your phone!
Wipe data and cache.
Flash update*.zip.
Flash gapps*.zip. You must flash gapps after every upgrade to CM9 since /system is formatted, wiping your previous add-ons.
Reboot phone.
After you setup your Google account, reinstall the three apps from Market in order to restore most of your apps, call log and SMS history.
Warning: Do not restore backup data of system apps!
If you restore a bad backup with cached settings in telephony.db in data/data/com.*.*.telephony it can break MMS.
It seems that restoring backups can also break Calendar sync.
read it thoroughly ...
1st you must flash update*.zip
2nd gapps*.zip
that just about it ....
what is your current kernel ?
That was pretty much it... I've restored not the original operator crap ROM, but instead the Value Pack ROM.
CyanogenMod9 seemed to install ok, but just looped and the phone didn't finished the boot. I'm not really sure on what happened. I'm just finishing restoring the stuff
I'm guessing you didn't wipe data/cache.
I did a factory reset, but sure, it might not have wiped the whole thing... Going to try again.
@argo68
True mate, the issue was not wiping the user cache. I've wiped the cache now from ClockWorkMod and it worked ok. Takes some time to boot compared to the stock samsung ROMs but it works fine
Anything you need tested ? I can most likely help.
I do have a problem with apps though, for example, GMAIL doesn't show the body of the message... as you can see on the screenshot, but I guess this is a app related issue maybe?
http://susepaste.org/images/39081870.png
After a reboot somehow it boots a bit faster and the gmail app is now displaying the body of the email and it seems a bit faster...
Good work, gonna ride this for a few days and see what happens.
@argo68
If you need beta testers, let me know. I'm off work this days but can't wait to get into my lab and check this stuff deeper

Hi I'm using this cyanogen mod for quite a few days now. The back side of the phone is always warm and the battery is drained very fast. Anyone have this similar problem?
I'm sure that I install the ROM correctly as i cleared everything on the phone with CWM 5.0.0.4 before and after. (Phone data / Cache Partition / Dalvik Cache / Battery Cache)
Any help would be appretiated
No such problem here. You should use an app to check what frequency the phone is running at in idle, and also how much load there is on the cpu.
I was wondering if anyone could help me out please. I've tried searching the forums, but I haven't been able to find my exact issue. Basically, I feel as if my phone seems to have increasing issues with flashing through Clockwork Recovery; here's the details:
I originally rooted my phone using the Odin flash method. I flashed the Juggernaut available at the time, wiping data/factory, cache, dalvik, and battery stats through clockwork first, and letting it chill for 15 minutes with the first boot. I follow the same steps each time I flash another rom ( I've read that I should also wipe /system, but Juggernaut seems to do that itself, so I haven't ). A month and a half ago, I wanted to add a few things, so I wiped, then flashed the latest Juggernaut, rebooted, let it settle,and then flashed the ICS Ultimate Theme, no wipe, then after another settle, flashed the Pdroid zip ( no wipe ) I made with the v1.27 auto-patcher. Everything seemed to work flawlessly for a month or so, then I started having issues that just kept getting worse: phone freezing while installing market apps then unfreezing, camera lagging, random freeze & reboots, etc. I tried fix permissions, and no luck. I wiped and tried reflashing everything the way I had, and the phone kept freezing after the faux kernel loading screen. Installing Juggernaut or another rom by itself, or a nandroid restore, is the only thing that got it past boot. Not even themes flashed over roms that they're made for get past boot. I restored my phone to stock using this method, wiped both SD cards, and re-rooted then flashed Juggernaut again, but this time I used clockwork's wipes and darkside's super wipe before flashing, but I still can't flash anything but the rom itself without a boot loop, even with fix permissions. I had a similar issue on my old mytouch Espresso; consecutive flashes seemed to almost eat away at my phone and make things worse, but that phone also had hardware issues. I'm using a new MicroSD since then. Also, if it means anything, I tried flashing the new clockwork touch from the zip on these forums after these issues started, and it never took, however, flashing through Rom Manager's after I purchased it worked fine.
Sorry about the long post, but I wanted to detail everything I've tried that I could think of before bothering anyone here. Does anyone know what could be the issue? I would really appreciate some help, because this issue is really frustrating, and I have no idea what's causing it.
Could someone help me with this please? I can try and get a log cat if needed. I'm just really hoping to get to the bottom of these issues.
I will be glad to help you out!
One big problem I see is that your not using Darkside Superwipe before flashing new roms.
So I would highly recommend you flash Darkside Superwipe first (clears all cache, partitions, ect very very thorughly) Better option than manually clearing cache and all that in clockwork mod.
Try Darkside Superwipe install the rom and see if you get any problems.
Here's how to use it if you dont know how to:

I'd like to point out that he does in fact use tdjs super wipe.
OP: have you tried other ROMs or kernels. In my past experiences, faux kernel did not meet my expectations so I moved along to another one. Give my configuration a go (refer to my signature) and let me know of the problem persists

Thanks for the replies!
techfanatic9 - I originally just wiped through clockwork ( before darkside superwipe was standard ), but now I use that too, and I'm still having those issues. I watched through the entire video just in case, and I'm doing it just like they say to.
iLeopard - I have tried Digital Warfare, but I still have the same issue when flashing things over it ( ICS Theme and/or PDroid ), even if it's supposed to be compatible, though I haven't tried kernels yet. I'll give your sig's setup a try and report back.
Meanwhile, could anything else be the issue? As you can probably tell, I've tried almost every mistake I could think of, and since my last phone had the same issue, a similar hardware issue seems unlikely.
All right, I've been running that ROM and kernel combo for a few days now. I don't seem to have any issues when I just flash the ROM and kernel, but I get stuck at the boot screen if I try to flash something else on top of it. Also, when I try to restore my text message backups through Gosms ( around 9800 texts that I want to keep ), the phone freezes halfway through the restore, and from that point on, the phone will freeze 5-10 minutes after rebooting, unless I reflash. I make sure I don't have the phone running and I leave it alone while restoring, and it doesn't help. I've only had this gosms issue since my flashing issue, and sometimes it restores fine.
Does anyone know what could be causing that?
So I'm having a problem I can't seem to fix.
I'm rooted, have been running the stock everything but with a few tweaks and some bloat removed. Everything works great but I am hoping to improve battery life. So I researched a few ROMs and pick a couple to try. I can flash them just fine with no problems, get all my apps back and set up with no problems. and I can use the phone all day just like normal.
Now the problem: if ever I have to restart for some reason, or even after I make a nandroid back up, when it restarts and boots up I eventually get several messages where processes are one by one stopping. until the phone is useless and froze up.
So it goes through 10 or more of these:
Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped
Unfortunately, the process android.process.phone has stopped
etc, etc,etc
I have tried everything I could find on here to fix, but it seems all fixes are for a single process failing. This happens to me on all Roms I have tried, but I am just wanting to run Sonic. Even if I restore the nandroid I get the messages. If I factory reset or restore my kid-of-stock backup I am fine. If I start over and reflash a clean Rom I can set up and use but as soon as I restart it happens again. Sometimes when restarting I get a message about android updating but can't figure out how to stop that from happening.
Thanks in advance for any help!!! This is very annoying.
Are you doing full wipes and factory reset? If you are doing this between each flash then it sounds like you are restoring bad data into your apps.

Try re-flashing the latest Gapps and seeing if that will help.

I thought the same thing so I tried without putting back in any apps. And still happened. And if I flash Sonic with TB it does it right away when I get booted up for some reason.

Thanks, I'll try to find the latest Gapps now and report back if it helps out. But I'm not real familiar with the Gapps part so it may take some searching to figure out what theya re for Sonic Rom if it matters the rom.
This is the reason why I do not do any backup.. Most stuff on my phone is not important enought to require a back up.. If I have issues, I just reinstall the rom and my apps from the market.. I have only reinstalled my current rom once, and that is because I was not able to change my current prl...

Sounds like you need to do a FULL Wipe before you Flash. Also make sure your Downloading the Rom over WiFi, or Hardline.

Do not restore anything with TB whatsoever and I can assure you it will work. There is corrupt data somewhere.

The process I use for Flashing Roms is the same one I've always used. It's the one that's in my Sig. I'll also relink, in case your on the mobile. I have used it for a very long time now. It avoids a lot of the hassles of a bad flash.

Thank you all for your help!!!
So far I have managed to flash the rom and reboot several times with no issues.
I have only had this GS3 for a week now and I feel I can finally play with some roms and see what I like. I usually find one I like and stick with it. On my EVO Shift I used the same rom for 2 years.
Here is what I did for anyone that may have same problem:
Wiped everything, per-normal.
Loaded ROM.
Loaded a few of the apps I wanted to keep some settings for (like GO Launcher and Handcent) using Rom Toolboxes App manager.
I then rebooted to see if I had any problems... none.
Used Rom Toolbox to install just the apps and no data for my other 50+ apps I wanted to keep.
Made Nandroid backup, which forced reboot... no problems.
Installed Titanium Backup, this is where I was nervous because I thought it might be that app causing problems with asking about new ID and such. Installed just 2 apps that I wanted to keep data for that Rom Toolbox for whatever reason didn't have, maybe I didn't have a recent backup. 2 apps were Tasker and GO Bookmark widget. When asked to change ID I selected "later" and after restoring 2 apps I imediatly deleted TB.
Reboot to see if I got errors... none
Setup all settings and tweaks I wanted.
Made Nandroid backup... no issues yet
I then deleted all TB backups I had on SD card figuring one was the culprit.
I am still nervous to re install TB but at least as of now I have a working nandroid to revert to so after a couple days I will reuse it.
As of now I have had no issues what so ever... and I can tell battery life on this Sonic rom is much better.
Glad your all sorted out . I do not think that Titanium Backup the App itself is was causing the issues. Although I do recognize somethings that could. Restoring GoLauncher with settings Data could cause issues. Especially from one Rom to the next. Hopefully your not trying to restore the Data settings you had on the Shift. Also with Handcent, I would not restore settings across different Roms.

I had the exact same problem with a reoccurring message that would flash on and off every second or so. I did both a data restart then a reboot of the android software by pushing the down volume button then holding the power button. When the LG logo appeared I released both buttons and followed the instructions for an android factory reboot. Apparently it is the SIM card. The android com.android.phone communicates with the SIM card and allows calls and texts to be sent and received using the android software. My SIM card got damaged somehow and could not receive the call from the android app com.android.phone. I had to buy a new SIM card for ten dollars and had my stored files on the SIM moved to the new one and no more problems. Telus and Bell move the files to the new SIM for free i'm sure other major service providers offer the same free service.
@pokey2000 Thanks for that info. But this is the Sprint S3 section. And the user you are replying to has a Sprint S3. Sprint phones are Cdma and do not have a removable sim card.
