[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SynysterNate:
I am kind of stuck and have searched endlessly...

I am rooted and running AOKP - d2att (4.2.1 JOP40D) Build 1.17.2013

AT&T Samsung Galaxy SIII i747

I am trying to update the Rom - Everytime I have updated, I get the "unfortunately, android keyboard (aosp) has stopped" error. I just restore a backup and go to my older version again.

I was preparing to make another backup and noticed I'm out of space, my System Data is taking up 7,938MB!!! I have no idea why or how it got so out of control. I attempted to just do a Factory Reset, it looked as if it worked... however nothing was wiped.

Right now I'm just at a crossroads. I like the custom Rom (minus some serious flaws) but want to be able to update and have some free space. But I'm starting to think returning it to the stock firmware and just settling might be easier?

Any ideas on where I can clear up some space or what I can do to battle the AOSP error? Is there another Rom that may be a better choice, iI know they aren't "better" but an equal alternative maybe. I'm fairly new to all of this but have a decent understanding, I made a switch to Android after owning purely Iphones since the 3G.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
Have you tried reflashing the ROM completely again from scratch with a full wipe ?

HOw are you installing the ROM ? When people say update I wonder if they mena a full wipe and flash of the ROM or are you using an updater
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SynysterNate:
Once I download the update I reboot into recovery. wipe cache and dalvik cache. I make a backup and then..

-install zip from sdcard

-choose zip from sdcard

then pick the downloaded update and then repeat the process with the gapps.

Once it loads, all my contacts and things appear there.. with the AOSP error.

I think after explaining this and reading your post, I should do a full wipe and install the newest version of the ROM. I hate to be a pest, what would be the best way to do this. I have Titanium Backup Pro. I really only care about my contacts and text messages and some apps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
You have have to flash the updated gapps if you aren't. They are made for 4.2.2 and nothing earlier. If you flash the same gapps as you flashed earlier you'll get loads of issues.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SynysterNate:
Ok, so I have ran the update gapps as well previously. A current status update. I backed up all my pictures, contacts and ran backup of system data with Titanium Pro. I wiped cache, cleared the Delvik cache, wiped data.. just realized I wasn't going into Mounts and Storage and not doing a format /system. That might explain why it was getting so massive. After doing those in the correct order, I flashed the ROM and Gapps and new Kernal. Its currently booting...

Success.. Its up and running the new Rom, however.. I have a new question. I have no apps and everything is back to how it all started. I know I can run titanium backup and restore things. But google is automatically installing my apps back one by one. There has to be a correct way to do this? I'm patiently waiting for it to install titanium so I can restore my texts and settings.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
you dont have to make a backup every single time you want to update. thats whats taking up all your internal memory. i have 1 stock backup that i made the day i flashed aokp 4.1.2 and then 1 backup of my current setup. if i ever want/need to restore, i'm all set. if you want to make a backup every single time, move the older files to your PC and keep your most recent 1 or 2 on the phone. that'll give you enough space to move forward
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cehf:
Google restoring apps is an option you set during the one time initial setup.

you shouldn't be restoring system data, and it sounds like you're doing that. there are apps to restore texts easily. one that I use is sms backup and restore, which works well and takes maybe a minute.

it's cumbersome to remember every setting so I'd suggest writing them down or something similar.

good guide although existent but well compiled, you can add more later
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] samersh72:
you are right about *#*#44336#*#*, forget about it. the manufacturing date of hardware is "RF Cal date" you can find it when you dial *#12580*369#.

or type *#197328640#, This will open the Service Mode menu on your Galaxy device. Select the option N. 2, that is “Version Info”. On the next screen, select ‘HW Version” (here HW means hardware). Now you will see another set of options on the next screen. Now tap on “Read CAL Date”, and bingo!

Actually, the Y has an LCD screen, not an AMOLED one. This means that if it displays white, it only keeps the LCD turned on to display it. If it displays darker colors, it needs to fill the screen with black colors, using up more energy. So white wallpapers are more battery efficient.

Edit- this article proves my statement

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=fact-or-fiction-black-is
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] :
+1

but , LCD actually uses different angles of the crystals to creare different colors where the backlight is always on leading to more battery consumption

whereas an Organic LED or OLED uses very bright light for white and dim for darker colors and no light for black and saves some precious juice . Each partical or pixel of an OLED screen is independent making this possible .

All this makes me think Why Y ? :P
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] samersh72:
thx for clarifying. Makes no difference, lcd back light is always on regardless of color

I have a caution for those who want to boost their volumes using Volume + : Do not make the phone super loud or it will break the speaker hardware .. Set it at a decent level where you and your friends can hear your music loudly but not very loud or the speaker will break.

Odin troubleshooting:

If Odin accidentally gives you "fail" try the following:

- Repeat procedure.

- Make sure that all actions of Kies are disabled from task manager.

- Change usb port.

- Try another usb cable (make sure it is the original).

- Try another Odin version.

- Uninstall and re-install driver.

- Try another computer.

Anyone else gotten a weird update to Facebook this evening?

My app just updated, but not through Play Market.

My version as of now: 2.2.1-g1

It seems like Facebook did an in-app update itself for some reason, though still had to accept the update,

but my gf's version is still just 2.2.1...with no update in Market.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaos67731:
I just got it, at first I did not do the update and then tried to update with the market but nothing was found.

then when I went to open Facebook again, it told me to update again but did a in app update, its very odd.

My best guess is that they changed something in the system that makes it so you have to update and they dont want people to use the market as some people (me) will not update apps but every few days and this is a needed update to make things work again?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atomic2mod:
Very odd - stopped the first attempt last night, to see if it was for real. They seem to prompt different version updates for different devices. When I click on "menu" before updating, the proper fb app was showing the proper menu screen. So I installed the update. Seems okay for now. But very odd, not to go though the market...

My update (At&t Galaxy note 2) reads:

Version Name: 2.2.1-g1

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgrid:
Anyone of you guys NOT running a custom ROM like CM and did anyone get this update notice with side channel installations turned off?

Captured the download? The URL mentioned in the screen points to facebook. But it's a dead one.

I'm having a hard time believing fb is pushing a side channel update for no reason at all and no proper potice. There's nothing new in that package and if it would be required - as stated - it should be in play. It however is not.

The only place I actually found this version of fb on is aptoide. But I never used aptoide and certainly have no installer for aptoide apps.

&

Sungsonic HD on Galaxy Tab 2 7.0

Don't see how it could be fishy,

different roms,

different devices.

& stock Facebook app from market...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dstech:
I received this today with my Galaxy Note 2, running CleanROM ATT 1.5. I said no to it and it disappeared and hasn't come back yet. Doesn't show up in the market either. I also thought it was malicious. Good to know it isn't. I'll get a screenshot of it before I do the update, if it ever comes back.

*EDIT* I found out when it prompts you. It's after you reboot or restart the app. I killed it in JB 4.1.2 using the built in RAM manager and it immediately gave me the update suggestion. Screenshot pending.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Lumafox:
I recently got an asus transformer prime t700kl, bought some apps for it (wolfram alpha, MX player PRO, CR2 thumbnailer and DSLR controller) but after rebooting the device all the aforementioned apps give me an error message stating that the process has stopped working (eg. "unfortunately, com.wolfram.alpha has stopped"). The strange thing is; all the apps work fine when I install them and i can open and close them any number of times. But as soon as i reboot my asus t700 the apps won't work, but only the paid apps, not regular free apps. What gives? I can "fix" the problem by uninstalling the apps and then downloading them again, but once i reboot it acts up again (this also happens after doing a factory reset/wipe) I tried installing all the apps on my samsung galaxy s1 and then rebooting it and it gives me no problems at all. the samsung is rooted with custom 2.3.4 android rom while the asus is completely stock android 4.1.1

If anybody can help me I would be extremely grateful!

Bonus info: the asus pad is using Firmware: V5.0.4.10 WW SKU
