Do a clean install, wiping cache and Dalvik, and may data as well.

[Q] Problem flashing GingerTiny

Just did a clean install of Anthem v2.1 and everything booted up fine. I went into recovery, wiped data, dalvik, and cache, and installed the latest gingertiny kernel. When I reboot from recovery, I get bootloop. What's wrong?

Thats because you wiped data. You should only wipe dalvik-cache and the cache partition.

Just to add to this. NEVER wipe data after flashing a Sense 3 or Sense 3.5 ROM. Actually even some Sense 2.1 ROMs that is a bad idea.
This is because the way these ROMS are built as the storage in /system cannot hold the whole ROM so they have to build part of it in /data. So wiping data will clear the ROM components as well as the user data. If you have to wipe data, plan to reflash the ROM again. So I say don't wipe data AFTER flashing the ROM unless you plan on reflashing the ROM. You can and will probably need to wipe data before flashing the ROM though.
Is there a reason why Titanium Backup isn't working? When I try to restore the progress bar just doesn't do anything...I had this problem with my Galaxy Tab and I had to change the app processing mode but is there a different issue?

Make sure USB debuggging is on. If it is, I don't know.
I think the problem is that I ran out of internal memory, I have a huge sd card so I think I can solve this problem. Thank you for replying though. I would've posted something on the actual rom page but I don't have enough thumbs up

Paranoid Android System UI

I have installed the Paranoid Android ROM on my S III, but I am running into problems:
- System UI stops working on reboot / wallpaper resets
- When I open the recent app switcher it shows what was open previously for brief second
Is their anyway to fix these bugs?
Thank You very much for taking the time to read and respond to me.
Did you come from a full wipe? Wipe data, cache, dalvik, system.

i wiped data, cache, dalvik, was unaware I had to format the system. Going to reflash my phone following your guide, cant believe I never saw it before.
the best way to transition from one ROM to another is to perform a full wipe. when flashing an update to the same ROM, just the cache, dalvik and wipe data options are recommended. cheers

Thank you very much. I just had another question about using Titanium Backup, wanted to know if i could backup applications like email which are system apps as far as i know.
Cheers.
Edit: The recent app animation lagg still hasn't gone any thing that could be done?
Restoring system apps is generally not a good idea. You might try just the email data and see how things function. Maybe someone with more TiBu experience can chime in.
As far as rom and battery performance, give it all a day or so to settle in. also, remember PA is a ported ROM. its not always this way but i have had buggy experiences with ports.

Camera only works w/o flash after rooting (several roms) only stock rom allows works

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with a strange issue I have.
When I flash to stock root ROM my phone works fine, including my camera, however, when I flash to ANY custom ROM my camera only works when my flash is off. If I turn the flash on the camera attempts to take a picture and then freezes and I have to do a battery pull to get it back on.
I will through a curveball here and say that I have had extremely limited success (but success nonetheless) when I use my original OEM battery.
The flash itself works fine as I can use apps like flashlight no problem.
Oh and app's from the Play store work fine as well w/ flash on.
Anybody experience this before? I have searched and found nothing,
Thanks everyone.
How are you wiping before flashing? I recommend wipe data, cache, dalvik, format /system.
And by "any" ROMs do you mean 4.2 ROMs or both 4.1 and 4.2?
Well the stock ROM was 4.1.1.
The thing is I've had this problem for a long time now so it would be on both 4.1 and 4.2.
New development though, I just re- flashed to PKD ROM and the flash works intermittently. It seems when I take a picture if something closeup with flash it works but when the subject is far away the camera app just goes black.
So, about your wipe procedures...

Sorry,
So when I flash a ROM I wipe data/factory clear dalvik and clear cache.
I've done that from stock to custom.
The next time you flash, have everything backed up/saved to your sd card or pay and follow the wipe procedures I recommended above. It wipes the OS completely off, leaving you a completely blank slate for the new rom. Have your desired rom and gapps on your micro sd card

You forgot to format /system manually in mount/boot, that causes a lot of errors (it caused a bootloop issue when going from stock to Slim for me)

I flashed grakernal recently. Bt may b becos of the kernal, the camera photos became red or yellow tinted. So i restored my CWM backup (boot only) bt now everythng works except wifi..when i flash grakernal again, it starts work ...plz help
Did you do a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik) before restoring your backup? That's the only thing I could think of.

Unable To Properly Install Pure Nexus Nougat & Nandroid Not Working

Hi! I went into the latest TWRP recovery with unlocked bootloader, and I wiped system, cache, dalvik and data. Then I flashed the proper vendor image, the ROM zip, Gapps and then Elemental X kernel. However, when I reboot, it just boots me into TWRP recovery. I have tried wiping dalvik cache and cache. I then tried restoring a nandroid, but it just got stuck on the Google screen. Didn't even get to the colored dots screen. I ended up flashing factory image, but I would like to get my Nandroids working and this ROM. Please help! Thanks
I'm no expert but I think it might be happening because of encryption. Did you disable encryption before doing all this stuff?

Encryption in stock Android? As far as I know, I can't turn it off. It says that the device is encrypted in settings. I think nougat forces encryption.
Unless maybe there's a patched kernel that can do that?

I dont think is your problem , im encrypted and never have issues with twrp! Never!! What version of twrp you running? Theres an unofficial kicking around that is much better than official! Maybe you got a bad download! I would redownload all, find and download unofficial twrp 3.0.2.3 I believe. Let your phone boot before you flash custom kernel, thats always worked great for me. The latest official twrps 3022 and 3021 both have nandroid restore issues as well efs restore issues that could ruin your day

What's the difference between wipe and format? On TWRP there is only WIPE for all partitions, but a format data button.

Wipe just deletes all data on the partition. Format makes the partition again, therefore it removes encryption, repairs potential problems etc. Format data has dedicated button in TWRP, for formatting System go to Advanced Wipe, check system, tap on Partition details, check EXT4 and perform format.

There is no Partition details button. Just fix partition or something like that.

A Thought
Dunno if this will help, but whenever I flash a ROM/kernel combo, I always flash the ROM/gapps, boot up with whatever kernel is included in ROM to make sure it boots properly, and then after successful boot flash EX kernel through TWRP.
OK, so I formatted DATA and SYSTEM, and I wiped CACHE and DALVIK. I then flashed the proper vendor image, pushing it to the device with adb push, and then adb sideload for the pure nexus ROM. It's currently installing. Then, I will adb sideload the gapps ZIP file. Then I'll reboot and see if it worked
EDIT: It just said "No OS installed"
EDIT 2: Just flashed the ROM again, and it is showing the boot animation. This time I did not do Gapps. I also wiped and formatted everything again. Hope all goes well.
EDIT 3: The ROM booted fine. Glad all is working now

So I had flashed the ROM with no Google Apps or anything, just the ROM. But when I add a Google Account, I can't because it says Google Play Services has stopped. I just noticed that the build number is one of a Nexus 6P, and the vendor image is different, the one I manually flashed.
