I guess I did something wrong. Ill tell you the exact steps how this all happened. I was on stock 4.1.1 ROM with ktoonz kernel.

1) I did nandroid, titanium and all that backup crap

2) went to recovery (TWRP 2.3.1) and factory reset, wipe dalvik cache

3) installed (flashed) the aokp ROM, 4.2 gapps and kroonz kernel

4) I booted and it all was fine. I think all the data were there cause I remember taking pics and I went to gallery and saw all my pics there

4) I first thing download superuser because I dislike SUsuperuser

5)I went to update binary for superuser app BUT there was a problem, when it was saying "testing for new root access" it failed many times (yes it did write the binary already)

6) so I thought it was busybox fault and flashed the newest stericson busybox BUT superuser still failed.

7) so I was wanted to reflash the rom and went to TWRP AND the interesting part I saw NO FILES in both SDcard and extcard :eek:

8) so I booted up and got file manager, went to check the files and they were gone. The address destination to sdcard was different too! It had like 0/ folder emulation/ folder and stuff

9) I started majorly panicking because the only way back would be with ODIN, so I took off my ext SD card and checked it with adapter and all files were there. Oh it didnt mount through phone. All it was saying Android.media crashed so I was like wtf

10) this is interesting. I restored with Odin which went well BUT I ended up in a bootloop. So I researched and found out wiping data from recovery would solve it. So I did so and it DID solve the problem but my internal sdcard was completely wiped... :/

I'm not a noob to this, I had galaxy s i9000 and used to flash daily...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alacrify:
For future reference.

1. have a problem immediately after trying to change a new flash to something not supported.

2. RESTORE YOUR NANDROID and start over.

3. You won't have these kinds of problems.

When you have a problem (especially at the SU level) the answer is NOT to flash something else on top of it - the answer is to start from scratch with a stable system.

Sorry for the off-topic - the ROM had NOTHING to do with your problem - pure PICNIC.

I read this forum every day and rarely ask any questions because I do pretty good finding answers on my own. It just shocks me that someone would still not know these issues. It's almost becoming not fun any more because people just don't read. This is an awesome ROM and I have been rooting/jailbreaking and flashing custom ROMs for years. Most of the issues I read on here I never see. I just wish people would read the forum and there would be a ton less "issues". Thanks Task for a great ROM. I'm just really sorry that you have to put up with this bull.

Not everyone in the world fits into this community, yet they are still nice people and are asking for help. Its not bull, its life. People have to learn. Some people may think they question they are asking is important, and may be a new problem and asked too quickly in panic that their phone might be a brick after the flash they just did.

Thanks for the ROM, I too am new, and figuring stuff out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Helloworld294:
Are you serious? I was going to start from scratch, read again, the sdcard was WIPED. so there was no ROM, no nandroid no nothing. Please, read again.

Hi there devs! Can you tell me why i cant install an ota update. Cwm gives me error. I got lastest version of cwm. Thank you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
1.) So how does this help you with the situation?

2.) How is this related to this ROM?

3.) How does this help the further the development of this ROM?

If you can't answer yes to all 3 of these question then it doesn't belong in this thread. This is not a debate thread nor is it a thread for anyone to argue back and forth in. Please help keep this thread clean by not responding to posts if you don't like them or if it doesn't apply to you. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Wrong version of CWM. you need an older version or update to the latest version of TWRP.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
I totally understand both of these points but these types of posts do not belong here. It only starts arguments and in turn clutters this thread up for days. Please do you best not to post theses types of things so that we can keep a clean thread. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Helloworld294:
1) it helps with situation by knowing that on future I should not flash rom, then gapps, then a different kernel in an outdated TWRP on a single go.

2)how? Well this is your rom isn't it? The problems came from YOUR rom right? Right.

3)further development help, no idea but a mistake repitition prevention is guaranteed.

I'm not trying to be mean okay? I am just saying.

1.) This is a development thread for this ROM. The issues you had do not stem from this rom. This would've happened on any single rom you flashed. So no. All of your posts have nothing to do with this rom or thread. This isn't a general thread dude. This is a thread for the development of this rom which nothing you've posted has anything to do with.

2.) No. Your absolutely confused. None of the problems you had have anything to do with this ROM.

3.) This isn't a "mistake prevention" thread. If you feel you need one of those then go start one in the more appropriate place please. The General section of these forums would be the spot.

4.) I'm not trying to be "mean" either. I'm just telling you the facts of the matter here. Everything you've posted has nothing to do with this ROM. Please don't post here anymore unless it's relative to this ROM and this ROM only. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Urinophoria:
If I can horn in here (i know its not ROM related, so sorry if I'm cluttering)... if by "start from scratch" you mean Odin to stock... That completely wipes internal storage. Wasn't the ROM or twrp that did that. That process basically makes the phone what it was shortly after you took it out of the box.

Generally speaking, and I know this doesn't help you now, and its even further off-topic... I don't keep anything I like on internal storage. There are lots of cloud service (pretty free or cheap) that will backup selected folders automagically.

When I saw how long it took for the first 4.2 preview (tasks) to go online, I just assumed it was going to be s pretty extreme update, did a full nandroid, then copied everything off my phone.

Guess all in really saying here is: slow down, keep copies of everything important to you off the phone, and don't do anything if you're not 100% certain of your ability to reverse it.

I also would strongly advocate NOT keeping the only copy of your nandroid on internal storage.

Edit: task or mods, please let me know if this was out of line, and I'll edit out the body (or you can just delete it, lol)

You guys need to search and read the TWRP thread for an explanation - this is how JellyBean works, thanks to Google's mult-account "feature". And it really doesn't belong here - it's not this ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
It has nothing to do with the ROM. Its googles multi user implementation. Just need to search a little.

Its a "problem" that just a little research before flashing something to your device could've been easily avoided. Again dude. This has nothing to do with this ROM. Please take it elsewhere. Thanks.

I have been running the latest rom (1/4) for couple of days and have not noticed any major issue. It is fast and runs very smoothy. Thanks for all the hard work and thanks for sharing it with us. I appreciate it.

One thing I noticed is that when I open google search (or google now) and click on the little mic icon on the right the app FC. I searched and did not see anybody mentioning on latest rom. I tried to follow task's advice and cleared the data for google search, but that did not help either.

One thing i've noticed with the audio issue, and I don't know if this will help you track down what is actually causing it, but occasionally if a notification comes in quick enough to stack on an old one, it sounds fine. Not sure if there are any logs I can pull to help, but i've just noticed it today as my girlfriend has been texting.

Anyone know how to fix this behavior?

Not being a smarta$$, but how about turning off the headset when you go to bed?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jchap2k:
A fair question. I usually don't remember to turn off the headset before I go to bed. Its not something I ever had to do before, so its hard to develop new habits based around phone behavior that shouldn't be happening. I've had to do that in the past when this happened, and even then I found that I forgot to turn it off every now and then.

Severe and none stop android.process.acore has stopped

Task,

I was upgrading from your 4.1.2 rom from late last year to the most recent rom you posted. And now, I am receiving severe error messages and none stop of "Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped."

I ALWAYS use the default kernal that came with the rom, and did a dalvik wipe and cache wipe before upgrade.

Can you help please.

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alacrify:
Follow the instructions in the OP completely - you have to FULL wipe going from 4.1.2 to 4.2
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
You didnt follow the installation instructions that clearly state to fully wipe your device. Please do that. You wouldn't be having any issues. ;)

P.S- You can't just flash Two totally different Operating Systems without wiping and not expect problems to occur.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] johnson8c:
Thanks, but since the messages keeps poping up nearly every 2 seconds, I need to backup some apps or and files I have on hand and communication chat logs and such. Is there anyway I can do that? I dont need full system backup, because it wont even go into the launcher screen, it kept stuck on the "Google Sign-In" Page.

Thanks in advance!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
You should've made a nandroid backup prior to even flashing this rom so you can just go back to that. Otherwise you need to fully wipe. Please just follow the installation instructions next time. It will save you this hassle.

If you search this thread for "acore" a workaround/way to get that notice to stop has been posted. I have learned the hard way (more than once) to nandroid before any ROM update so you could always restore, save your data, then full wipe and reflash again.

Real quick question!

Do i have to flash the ktoonsez kernal? Or can i stick with my stock kernal (caue i am moving from STOCK)? Also do we have to wipe everything, everytime to update the rom, cause thats what it says in guide and I wanted to double check.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jgaf:
The rom comes with a packaged kernel, underwear. If coming from different ROM always fully wipe before installing. I personally prefer to do a fresh install each update, just remember to do nandroid and backup apps using titanium.

Edited to be more clear.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alacrify:
Please don't feed people bad information. Coming from ANY other ROM including Stock a full wipe is REQUIRED as explained in the OP. It's better to just refer people to the OP since those are the correct instructions.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
