[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sybaek:
My gapps is crashing intermittently with the 8-23 build. I can't seem to figure out what I've done wrong here. This is a clean install with system, data, cache wiped. I used CvD's 6.0.3.7 custom-CWM recovery to flash the latest 8-23 build and gapps and then proceeded to boot.

Everything seems to work fine, but for some reason my gapps process will randomly crash. Other times I'll see other gapps crash like Play store or Google Services Framework. I've tried flashing a few different gapps, including the 20130813 and the 20130729 builds. Regardless of the gapps build I use I still have similar problems. If I flash only the ROM without the gapps, the problems seem to not exist (which makes sense I guess). I've also tried flashing only the ROM and then coming back a few minutes later and flashing gapps, but as soon as I flash gapps on there and sign into google, it exhibits the same problems.

At any rate, it's still quite functional and a minor nuisance more than anything. I just want to see what I'm doing wrong, most people seem to be running pretty well with the new builds, but I can't seem to find anything on this gapps issue I'm having. I've tried the 8-22 and 8-23 builds in various combinations with the 813 and 729 gapps and still seem to get problems with the gapps process.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Starymari:
I am having that same issue on 8-23 as well. The problem started 8-22. If you want to revert back to 8-21, you'll be good. I'm really glad you posted this because I thought me and a friend were the only ones with that problem. Maybe [MENTION=4502411]gs2usr[/MENTION] has heard similar reports, either way, I'm going to wait to see what 8-24 is like. Otherwise, I'll revert to 8-21. I just love the features that keep popping up! This run just keeps getting better and better, like you said, the gapps thing is more of a very minor inconvenience because sometimes nothing happens, other times it will close something and you can get it right back, no big deal...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sybaek:
Ah ok. Thanks for verifying that for me. I've been banging my head for the last 24 hours tinkering with it trying to figure out the cause. I was scouring the forums to find someone else with this problem but I hadn't seen anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
Guess I'll stick with 8/21 for now. :)

I'm running the 08/17 build and its fine. Call me old fashion but if it ain't broke don't fix it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Starymari:
Sorry bud! I should have said something earlier, I was doing the same thing so hadn't really checked xda cuz I was doing everything I could think of to figure it out lol

This rom is awesome!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] m4570d0n:
I started getting the same issues starting with my 8/22 build as well (as well as a few other google processes randomly crashing, like location). Just flashed a new build that I compiled this morning and it still seems to be an issue. Also, starting with my 8/22 build, the phone will lock up and reboot in a few specific situations and upon opening a few particular apps. I'll be looking into it, but I'll be busy most of the weekend so hopefully someone else can spot the issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Weazmeister:
I am on 8/21 and sticking with it as well. Once the rest of the issues are handled I'll upgrade as well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
I'm also seeing the gapps process fc. It says "blame Tyler" LOL

Minor issue here since like StaryMari said, I can normally continue just fine...

I tried PAC a long time ago on 4.1, but now on 4.3, I've finally figured out how to use the customization tile for per-app DPI. Super-useful!

I have had problems with being able to view comments while typing them in FriendCaster on other ROMs, but not this one!

Great job on this! Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] baddgoat:
8/21 is rock solid
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
Yup. Have had no issues with it so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gs2usr:
The gapps issue came in with some aosp commits recently, they have been reverted now and tonight's build should be back to good!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Starymari:
Awesome! Hearing that and now having twrp, my weekend has officially been made! Thank you!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Thanks! I found these instructions to reset app preferences which seems to have worked to fix the gapps and other app FCs I've seen on PAC v23.1so far.

Is this related?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
2 random reboots on 8/21, but rebooted fine. No hangs. Not much help since I didn't get logs.. Guess I should start tho. Will flash newest nightly in the morning tho as a result. :thumbup:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sybaek:
I haven't had any RR's on 8-21 since I flashed last night. However, I'm seeing some issues with the GPS. Sometimes it will work fine, then other times it will refuse to lock onto any sats and continuously leave the GPS on searching for a signal. I've turned off the GPS as a temporarily fix, since my weather app keeps turning it on and draining the battery. To get the GPS to work again, it involves toggling the "GPS satellites" option in the settings. For some reason when it fails to detect a signal, turning that option off and then on seems to fix it temporarily.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Starymari:
Hey [MENTION=4502411]gs2usr[/MENTION]! Was there a build for today? I checked the basketbuild site and just the logs posted. Thanks again for your hard work on this rom!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sybaek:
Running the new 8-26 build with none of the gapps issues. I'll see if the gps issue i was having persists.

question

which TWRP version you installed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Starymari:
The newest available on goo... I believe 6.0.3.6...? It's in the all-in-one sticky
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] baddgoat:
Yep. Running 8/26 and all seems good :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Weazmeister:
Not talking about TWRP as it is at build 2.6.x.x ATM if memory serves right.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Starymari:
Yeah sorry, I am talking about TWRP 2.6.0.3 and can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44951616 or, like I said, from the goo app (by "Install Open Recovery Script) which is where I installed it.

Edit: and it does support 4.3 roms, confirmed by a few people now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sybaek:
Somebody made a flashable zip in the TWRP thread somewhere. If i wasn't on my phone I'd link it. But goo works equally well.

But i can verify i used it for the new 8-26 build with no problems last night. (As far as i can tell anyways.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] baddgoat:
Hey. I know that theme :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Starymari:
Yep, it's in the 1 stop sticky by [MENTION=4057370]vincom[/MENTION]

I'm running well on 8-26 as well, except for one occasion this morning (when I flashed) I got a few System UI force closes but since then it's been smooth sailing! Thanks again gs2usr!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gs2usr:
Anyone remember this from back in the ICS days? I'm working on getting this back :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] baddgoat:
What did that do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
Odd.. Just noticed my internal is showing blank (was still on 8/21 nightly). Flashed 8/26, some apps I previously uninstalled are back and some were gone (xda for one). But when I reinstalled it, my login and everything was still saved like it was never gone. :silly:

Edit: also, temple run 2 stats got reset and can't restore my tibu of it due to sdcard being blank. Wtf happened? Lol.

Hi! Don't want to jump the gun (since its still relatively early and all) but was there a build for today? Logs are posted but no zip... just wanted to throw it out there :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gs2usr:
Yeah mostly all builds failed last night due to CM changes to frameworks_base_opt_hardware. I already pushed and merged the fix and should be good tonoight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
It's like a floating app drawer. Your installed apps would fly at you through space and if you tapped and held on the screen, they would slow down so you could choose the one you wanted to open.

Ohhhh... I see! Thank you for the reply and thanks for fixing it so quickly! Looking forward to it! :D

question

Do we just wipe cache and dalvik, then flash or would you recommend fresh install.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gs2usr:
If already running 4.3 go ahead and dirty flash, otherwise clean install.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] baddgoat:
That DOES sound cool. Wasn't on ICS very long lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Starymari:
Ok I'm on the new build gs2usr just posted and kept losing signal and then sometimes I didn't have it at all so I found out that flashing the new build changed my Superuser Settings back to "Apps only". I feel really dumb for getting caught up with this but here's my solution.

So, if you guys are having problems with connectivity, either go to Developer Options and change root access to "Apps and ADB" OR go into Settings, Superuser, three dot button (top right), Settings, then change it back to "Apps and ADB".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
Why is this affecting the signal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Starymari:
Um... I don't know.... it's sort of "take it or leave it", or "whatever it's worth" sorta thing. So if it happens to anyone else, and this helps, awesome. If not, sorry to take up space in the thread. (Maybe it was just me...?) Either way, I'm up and running now and it's been smooth sailing since, hope everyone else is too! I love this rom!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
I wasn't trying to disprove your statement, or infer that it was ill-advised or anything, I was simply trying to understand if I missed something discussed earlier, or learn what effect this setting would have on signal. Thanks for the clarification and, if I run into that issue, it will surely be the first thing I try. Lol!

Edit: any big difference between yesterday's and the build gs2usr just posted that you've noticed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Starymari:
Oh I know you weren't, I didn't take it that way anyway. I'm just still kinda new-ish at some of this so I don't want to come off as an idiot! Lol

This new build seems to have a few little extra gems... the one I'm most happy about is being able to disable the backlights on the touch keys (awesome!) But there are more brightness settings (it seems) - like adaptive, sunrise and sunset, and other stuff tucked into the corners of the Pacman settings area of Settings. If I find any others that really stand out, I'll post here. It seems there are going to be more settings added soon in a few other categories. The customization on this rom is extensive! It's fun to hunt around and see what you can find! :p This rom just gets better and better!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jiggs82:
[MENTION=4409934]gs2user[/MENTION] can you and the team please add the lock screen settings from cm that disables the camera lock screen widget and when lock screen is maximized pressing the unlock icon unlocks the screen thanks in advace :)

Hi [MENTION=4502411]gs2usr[/MENTION]! I was wondering about the new nightlies, the last two are only showing logs on the basketbuild site. Have they been failing? I really enjoy flashing the nightlies and haven't been able to so I'm going thru Pac-flash withdrawal (haha) so I wanted to ask... sorry to be a bother! :o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xxboarderxx:
Where do you go to disable the touch key lights? I can't find it. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Starymari:
Go to Settings, Pacman Settings, Buttons, Backlight (uncheck the box)! You can also change the backlight duration. I hope it works out for you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xxboarderxx:
My buttons menu only has home, menu and search options... No backlight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nthuser:
If you open the log files you will see that there are build errors at the moment - so no doubt gs2usr is aware of them and is doing his best to try and resolve those issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Starymari:
Which build are you on? I'm on 8-27 and mine looks like this...

I just disabled the Illuminate Backlight option here....

---------- Post added at 08:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ----------

Yeah, your right... I did try to read the logs to see (not great with code and such lol). I was just more or less trying to make myself available if there was something that needed testing or something needed to be checked, etc.

You're absolutely right, it's easy to see that gs2usr works very hard to bring us this rom, for which I am very thankful!!! :) Still smooth sailing on 8-27 build! This is such a great rom!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xxboarderxx:
Ah ok. I'm on the 8-26 build and that option isn't available. I didn't see the 8-27 build. Where did you get it?

Any issues with storage space? I've installed two apps since updating to the latest nightly and I can't install anything else due to inefficient storage space. Can't seem to figure it out. Thanks in advance. Wiped cache and full data reset. Never experienced this.

On boot, said it optimized 99 apps but I have hardly any

What am I missing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MobiusShazarr:
Backups take a lot of space and unless you clear them out you will run out fast
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dynojunkee:
I decided to start over. Deleting all data, cache, formatted everything. Rebooted, was able to install quite a few more apps than before but I've once again run out of space, way too fast.

Internal storage reads 1.97 GB. 200 mb apps and 2.4 mb cache data. Yet somehow I only have 220 mb available.

Any ideas?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Starymari:
Hey all! I'm on the 8-31 nightly and was having issues and fc's whenever I tried to access Themes. I wanted to let everyone know that all you have to do to fix that is clear data for Theme Provider and then all will work properly. It won't delete any of your themes. I think they updated Theme Chooser so since I dirty flashed, it was having issues.

Just wanted to let anyone know in case they had issues. Love this rom! :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nateysmith:
Just attempted the install of this rom. The boot logo is just spinning. I was on 4.0.4 official build from ATT. I did a factory reset, installed the rom and 4.3 gapps, then I wiped cache and dalvik for good measure. The boot logo comes up, but just spins. Any ideas? Did I miss something? Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Starymari:
There's no spinning in this boot animation, it should be (Andy) Pacman. What build did you try to flash? What recovery do you have? What radio are you using? Need some more info....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jiggs82:
Make sure you use the right recovery cwm 6.0.3.7 or twrp 2.6.1.0 and the right radio
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nateysmith:
I tried to flash pac_hercules-nightly-20130901.zip. I installed the recovery via the GSII toolkit. Radio was whatever is stock radio with 4.0.4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
GSII toolkit? Not sure if that even works with our phone? Or is it something available in the Hercules side? Not sure which radio that would be either, but it isn't the right one.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
Just do a little reading before you get into it. Don't end up with a paperweight. To run 4.3, you HAVE to use the right recovery and radio.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nateysmith:
Is there a radio that is recommended with this ROM? I am going to put on the latest TWRP. I am going to be putting on UCMC1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Starymari:
Yes it's UCMC1. The 1 stop sticky will be very helpful to you, you should read that, download all the files (radio, recovery) you must have to run a 4.3 rom (which had changed a lot since your previous build) and then read the cm10.2 discussion thread and some others to get up to date on the current situation and then try and flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nateysmith:
I appreciate the insight. I will be following the info found there.

---------- Post added at 08:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 AM ----------

I also just realized I grabbed the hercules rom and not the skyrocket rom. That would have caused some issues. I am attempting the skyrocket rom now.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Starymari:
Yes, I'm on UX now because of service but they're all relatively the same.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DSDONE:
Okay, thank you so much... I will be going to 4.3 really soon and that's what radio I am currently using
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shadowswittness:
Where is a good 4.3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Starymari:
Good to hear! You're really going to enjoy it and especially with Pac, the features are just amazing and keep getting better! Focal works (with maybe a few hiccups but still works for me), I haven't had one Bluetooth issue - which has been an ongoing Skyrocket issue. On the current 9-4 nightly, I haven't had any rr's and it's been fast!

Just remember, you need one of the new recoveries, your radio is good, 8-13 gapps (8-12 is 4.2.2 - don't use with a 4.3 build) and when you flash any (Pac) build after like 9-1 you're going to need to clear the data for Themes Provider if you have an issue applying theme chooser themes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xxboarderxx:
Bump - I am just asking this again because I find it pretty odd that I'm the only one with this issue. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?

For example, I'll set up my home screen and if I reboot the phone, without fail, the homescreen will either be missing icons that I put there before the reboot or an icon from the dock has moved to another position.

This is all from a full wipe, clean install...

Puzzled. Love 4.3 but back to 4.2 for now...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] m4570d0n:
Never heard of it. Pretty sure it's just you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] x2o:
I wish I had an answer for you, I was experiencing these same problems back on 4.2 once upon a time.

For me it was the Messaging app in particular, everytime I'd try to put it on the home screen or dock, it would be gone after a reboot and I'd have to drag it back out from the app list.

Sadly I don't have a solution for you, but just know you aren't going crazy and it has happened to me before :p. Hope you get it figured out. After a couple new versions my problem fixed itself, this was back on 4.2.x though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
Are the apps on your external SD card? This was an issue on 4.1 and this was found to be the culprit. May be worth looking into
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xxboarderxx:
No. I never do that. I've got plenty of room on my internal.

No big deal, 4.2 is running fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Starymari:
I'm not having this problem and don't think I ever have... are you using the stock launcher or a custom one? What apps are disappearing? Is it always the same app(s) or totally random apps disappearing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xxboarderxx:
Launcher is stock. I installed the rom and let the phone automatically download and restore the apps. Then I proceeded to customize the home screen and rebooted and found apps disappearing from the homescreen or moved to a different location. Apps are random... That's what is making it harder to figure out.
