Hello,
Got an S9 wich has been smoothly running SoLdierR ROM for a couple of weeks. Until two days ago, when my phone decided otherwise. If I restart the phone, the freezing stops for a bit and isn´t noticeable until I start opening apps and that´s when it starts getting really annoying. After that the freezing starts occuring in intervals every 10sec for 3-4 sec. This is making me miss messages/voice calls if these occur during freezing intervals. If I remembers correctly, this started right after I cleared phone memory a couple of days ago. Is there any way to resolve this without me having to backup data and restoring phone?
What I've tried doing so far:
Restarts, shutting down phone for longer periods of time, booting in safe mode (still freezing), booting in recovery mode and deleteing cache/dalvik, deleting apps recently installed, inactivating google apps (google, google play, google services) and deleting cache then unstalling update and then reactivating them, removed root.

when you installed your custom ROM, did you delete the folder on internal storage named "android"?

I believe I did, used TWRP and wiped everything before installing my custom ROM. I'am starting to think about doing a clean install all over again however, that won't mean that this issue won't come back later?

considering there arent that many variables that go into ROM installation, its likely just some one-off situation. If it wasnt, there would be a ton of folks reporting the same issue. Sometimes dropping fat man or little boy and starting over is all thats left. Been there so many times with the S3 and S5, i cant even begin to tell you.

Yepp! I doing a clean install atm. Got another question wich is a bit off-topic. I'am using soliders latest ROM, I noticed he did release a new firmware update. Is it enough flashing the ROM or do I have to flash firmware by itself later? Or do I simply do nothing after flashing the ROM? Sorry if I'am asking obvious question but this a all still new to me.

no worries mate, we all try to take a look at members post count before casting judgement on them for the question they asked. For that matter, we try to avoid casting judgement period, and im saying that as a member, not a moderator.
im not directly familiar with the soldier run of ROMs, but if the firmware version has changed, it is wise to install the full firmware.
Also, i wouldnt consider what you asked to be off topic at all.

to be perfectly honest, if youve done all the things in the OP and its still doing that, its time to drop fat man or little boy and start from stock tar.md5. Boot to DL mode and flash the stock firmware. Obviously something is awry and the usual tricks didnt help so far. Mushroom cloud time

Hello, I've been having some weird issues with my phone, first of all, this is ROM related.
Whenever I flash to a new rom, after using the rom perfectly for 1-2 days, rebooting ect...
After the 3rd day, or having the phone on for more than 24 hours, eventually after rebooting the phone, it will give me the dreaded "Device cannot boot, please hold volume up to reset your phone.
Then the phone works fine and the issue repeats over and over again.
using latest htc radio rom and latest htc winmo 6.5 rom
I really like the phone, but these stupid retarded issues keep me from actually considering this a stable phone to use for long-term use.
I'm at my ends with this phone and will end up loading the stock t-mo rom and selling it.

odd.....sorry i don't know what to say to help, sounds like a hardware issue not being able to access the ROM files correctly. i guess you could either sell or swap back to stock and try warranty..
Here's what I'd do.
Flash back to stock SPL, and reflash to same ROM as when you first got the phone, remember to hard reset after flash and remove SIM / SD cards etc.
If that doesn't work, maybe try flashing via SD card, but at that point I would replace under warranty.
If stock SPL fixes it you may want to ask in the HardSPL thread.
Hope this helps, good luck
Hey I got my phone rooted, so I installed Titanium Backup, and then I uninstalled the stock browser, the download manager, and also android.downloader or something like that. And I broke my phone - now Google Play just crashes instantly.
I've tried reinstalling the firmware, and resetting to factory, but it's still the same.
Is there anything I can do, other than take it back to the store?
Help!!!!!
EDIT: It gives the error "Unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped."
did you do a nandroid backup?> if not we need to know the exact application you deleted. future reference DONT DELETE. just freeze then its just a simple unfreeze and a freeze also stops the app from running. you will not get more available memory by doing this because this is on a different partition. Also never delete or freeze anything referring to com.android they are core funtions that are required for your device to run properly.
You deleted a process?!
My money would be that android.download or whatever process you deleted was required for Google Play to work. Hopefully you made a Nandroid before modifying processes. If not, you'll have to flash a stock ROM to get it back.
Alternatively, if you backed up system data with Titanium Backup, you might be able to find the process in there and restore it.
Echoing drksilenc, don't uninstall things through Titanium Backup unless you're positive it won't mess something up. How can you be positive? One, deleting processes always causes problems. Even freezing them can be messy. Don't do it. Two, in the case of an app, you'll know it's ok if you've had it frozen for a week or so and the phone hasn't acted up. Even with system apps, though, I recommend freezing rather than uninstalling. It's safer, and you never know if you might want/need that app again.
It gets worse.
I went down to the Bell store (my phone's actually from Bell, but they're similar to the AT&T ones, right?) and they wouldn't exchange it. So I tried going into the Clockwork Recovery, and wiped all of the little folders in "Advanced Settings." Because I noticed that Bell's add-on apps kept coming back, why weren't the other ones I deleted? And now it's a useless brick, says SAMSUNG and that's it.
Brand new one-day old superphone, totally wrecked. I don't even think there are any stock ROM's out there for this thing yet.
I'm a meathead.
I'll try reinstalling the firmware again that I did before, maybe I'll get lucky.
Nope, still nothin'.
So now I'm going to do something really crazy. Somebody on the interwebs says you can flash the SGH-1317M with the stock rom for the GT-N7105. Says it's the same thing except it's the international version and that it's even better.
I went to samsung-updates.com and searched for the Note 2, and sure enough, it's on their list of ROMs for the Note 2. So I'm downloading the GT-N7105, and I'ma gonna install it, unless someone here tells me different!

Don't do that. For one, flashing a ROM for a different device is virtually always Detroit Brick City. Two, the guy's got two whole posts. Don't do it.

Any rom in our dev section should fix you try clean rom ans stop using titanium vackup. Why are you debloating roms when devs did it for you already and obviously you see you have no clue what you're doing?

Just flash any rom in the android development section usinf twrp or cwm, it will rebuild /system and fix any issues. In the future dont delete or uninstall system apps, just freeze them if you think yiu dont need it. Freezing stops the app from running ans taking up any cpu or memory so its almost as good as deleting (it still technically takes up space but this phone has plenty of space) with nine of the dangers. If something stopped working like play store, youvcan defrost the apps yiu froze easy enough.

Sadly, failure
I downloaded CleanROM Lite 1.0.zip, put it on the SD card, and used Clockwork Recovery to install it. The installation went without a hitch, but trying to boot the phone, all I get is the SAMSUNG logo still. So I did a factory reset, wiped the cache, wiped the Dalvik cache, and did "fix permissions", but it's the same.
So I'm downloading the other ROM ("Stock Root - De-Odex") and will try that presently.

These roms take a while to boot how long did you wait. Look you didnt break your phone from deleting apps just flash the rom and wait it will boot. Remember these roms are 750-800 mb worth of data to boot not 250mb like aosp roms, takes few mins to boot

You might have been right. I'm so used to it just freezing up that maybe I wasn't patient enough and just assumed.
But it works now! I flashed the Stock ROM, and it booted up with no problems. Then I flashed the lite one again, and it works too. So now I'm going to try the other ROM on the dev page, see how it looks.
And it's still rooted, so hooray!
Thanks for all your help.
you REALLY need to do ALOT more READING, and ALOT LESS Flashing...
Hi everyone,
I've searched everywhere for a solution so please help!
Basically i've had my note 2 for around 3 months and it keeps freezing (so frustrating).
Surprisingly this happend on stock before i even rooted or anything like that.
I remember installing some game from the app store that started the freezing but i re flashed it on stock and this was ages ago. I went to samsung and they flashed it but they said that they dont know what it is. Without sending my baby away i'd love to get this fixed.
I've tried rooting, unrooting, different roms, clearing all the cashes.. apps to reduce lagg (incase it was something inducing it).
Im really clueless where to go with it..
(Freezes up to 5 times a day)
(On 4.1.2 because of custom rom)
(On Stock rom now trying to fix but still on 4.1.2)
Thanks for all your help in advance!

Hi Broky
Its on stock at the moment and i've taken my case of because i thought it might be that before....
When i was in the samsung store it was flashed to the stock and i opened skype after the flash and it froze....
Dont know if this is much help?
Thanks!
Try super wipe script by zoot.
Then flash stock rom.
Don't tell it samsung or google account.
Play around with it like browse or do anything. If it still freezes then I am sorry then brockyneo is correct.

ya it shouldnt freeze if its been flashed back to stock rom,especially through odin as it near bullet proof
maybe try what UtkarshGupta with the superwipe and try again with a stock rom
if not then you maybe looking at a faulty unit :crying:

What firmware do you have? 4.1.1 or 4.1.2? If you are on a safe kernel (latest 4.1.2 for example) you could try "Dummy File Generator" from Playstore.

Hey legendberry! Did you fix your problem? I'm having the same issue on a stock rom. Resetting and wiping didn't help so I sent mine for repair but it got sent back to me unrepaired and the issue is still there
I have stock note 2, running 2.1 worked flawless since day 1 (was first release in France). Last 2 days been freezing. Have freed up space in internal and external sd. Still happens. Removed some apps, still happens. Reboot, sometimes it works for while then locks up. Very frustrsting as this is business phone.
......
I am in the same situation, because my Note 2 in the last few days has been freezing with maxed out cpu (as reported by the Cool Tool app).
I am now in the process of wiping everything and restoring in the feeble hope to overcome the problem.
Edit: i have wiped everything by formatting with Odin and reloading firmware, then restoring nandroid backup. So far so good, almost 24h without freezing.
Edit2: 2nd day, started freezing again 0
Same problem here, since 2 days my Note 2 freezes all the time, sometimes with 100% cpu load. Sometimes I can use it for a couple of hours, sometimes after reboot it freezes instantly. :S
I did a factory reset (stock 4.1.2), wiped everything but still the same issue...
Very, very frustrating!
To users above: When did you get your Note 2? I've had mine since Oct 10, 2012.
R: Note 2 constant freezing issue
Me too, phone bought in October 2012.
Today I flashed latest Italian firmware, MB2, and started over. No freezes. Even filling sdcard with dummy file generator, which in previous firmware (French MB2) gave several freezes.
Ok.
Then restored nandroid, data partition only, and wiped cache and dalvik. Lots of freezes again, device almost unusable.
So I thought what's the difference? When freshly flashed phone had Touchwiz, while after restore had Go Launcher.
Uninstalled Go Launcher. Bingo.
No freezes anymore so far.
Weird, uh?
I'll report how it behaves in next hours.
Edit: it was go launcher indeed. It's been updated for a reported crashes reboots problem. Now my device is rock steady.

Currently having the same issue. What i had done is cleanwipe and restore to factory setting (4.1.2).
Just the moment i finished setting up, the problem occured.
I attempted my first rooting and install of darthstalkers rom last night. the step by step instructions were well laid out, and the process was pretty smooth. however after completing the rom install, and began getting various errors such as 'gallery not responding', 'omacp has stopped working',etc. over a dozen different errors in total. kies wouldnt connect to restore my settings,etc.
i decided to flash back to stock, and followed the instructions perfectly, which again were very easy. kies connected instantly on stock, and everything seemed ok. however im still getting the same errors as i was with the darthstalker rom. now i bought my s3 outright (its not part of any package), so i have no warranty issues, however my phone is completely hosed now. i cant send texts, cant view email, nothing. i'm honestly regretting ever doing this.
any help/tips/suggestions so that i can go back to the way i was? ive tried everything that my googlefu has led me to, and nothing has worked.

I did it last night, but in my tired confusion, i may have fudged it up. going to do it now and ill update in a few minutes. Thanks for the help thus far.
when flashing to stock through Odin you retain the same cache and therefore you can have some issues of force closes..which is why a factory reset is always best....and mandatory when going from 4.1.1 to 4.0.4
That's a very stable ROM and I'm surprised at the issues you had. I have a feeling it wasn't the ROM or anything you did persay but bad flashes happen which it why most of us have a nandroid to fall back on just in case. Sometimes a re-flash does the trick to fix problems.

Ok well i wiped cache/data in recovery mode and all seemed ok (not sure if its worth noting, but the recovery menu/screen was totally different from last night - the one last night was touch screen with ++++ before and after each menu choice, and the one today has me using the volume keys to move and power to select).
i went to do kies restore and it went smoothly, but is now sitting on the last option, 'restoring call log', for quite a while. So i guess ill update this again when kies finishes up.
10 minutes later and its still sitting at restoring call log. should i abort this?

seems to have worked. all my contacts are there, and i can send/receive texts. only issue is, none of my apps, settings, layout, wifi,etc transferred over for some reason. so i guess im stuck manually entering in all of this data. what a ****ing hassle this was.
do any of you trusted members do this for a fee? i really liked what i saw with darthstalkers, but cannot be bothered to go through this again.

Settings, not much can be done about that. It's needed to wipe them when going to a custom ROM (same goes when updating to avoid issues).
Titanium Backup can save your Wifi, apps and apps data (requires root). Also can save your texts and call logs with it.

Sounds like you booted into stock recovery which is what you wanted.
I used to think it was a pain restoring settings all the time but after 100 or so ROM's over various devices its takes 10-15 minutes to do that and install my apps form the market (I only use maybe 20 or so and maybe are one I have apk for already.
Everyone's first time is a bit awkward and messy... gets fun after you do it enough
So its possible it was just a bad install? This isnt a very technical or tough thing to do, but becomes a serious pain int he ass when things go awry. Would love to have the darthstalkers setup, though. I just hate to do it and have it all be FUBAR'd again.

Keep in mind that flashing a custom ROM also means flashing the updates (as it can always get better and there are bugs to fix), meaning that you will have to factory reset every time (which resets your settings, cleans your apps and such). So it's something you kinda have to get used to when flashing.
That's also why I suggested Titanium Backup, it saves a lot of time when it comes to apps, wifi, call logs, texts, etc. You'll still have to go through your settings, emails and accounts though.
If you wanna go ahead and give Darthstarkers another try, re-download it and make sure you follow their full instructions.

its true. the first time around is always a little bumpy. as long as you are doing things correctly and installing the correct files, things will only go smoother with time.
this is just my preference, but once i've transcended stock (to aosp), i dont mess around with kies anymore. i know you had your things backed up via that route but ask around and you'll see, there are a lot of useful apps out there that can backup and seamlessly restore everything you want after flashing.
dont give up. everyone deserves the performance and style they want on their device. next time you're ready, let us know. between myself, hednik and a few others, we can get you the best way to do this right here in one thread versus 20 different sites/threads/opinions. cheers
I didnt think about the future and rom updates, etc. I think ill pass for now, my time for this is limited. I'd love to have something like darthstalker working, but i cannot afford to spend the time if it all goes to hell again.I do sincerely appreciate the help, and if theres some way i can say thanks other than clicking thanks for each of you (already done), please let me know.

It's basically the way to show your gratitude, you've said thanks and pressed the button, can't ask for much more :highfive: Especially from a new user.
I hope you find the time to enjoy one of those custom ROM at some point and we'll be here if you need help again. Good luck!
Hello all,
I ve been dealing with this issue recently and it pisses me off! I feel warmness in my pocket and when I check it, I see "Android is optimizing apps" or similar kinda thing, and eventually It makes me install android system again. Luckily I back up my data daily, but everytime, I have to log in to my several apps, re arrange them, wait them to be downloaded again. It happened once when I was using skydragon v8, but happened several times with v10. So I am not sure if I should upgrade it to v10.2 because it can happen again.
Has anyone experienced this before? I even think to switch to original rom, because basically I use no features of being rooted. What do you recommend?
p.s: apologiez for the language mistakes.

If you are already regularly being forced to restore your data from backups and setup the phone again, what harm would it be to try v10.2?
I seem to recall v10 having some issues, but don't remember if it was this problem specifically.

Again, it won't hurt to try since you are already being factory reset on a regular basis, anyway. So what do you have to lose?
Not that I necessarily encourage moving away from SD, or advocate any ROM in particular. But its an option, to at least see if you can eliminate the problem.
