[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CrookedKnight:
We've had ROMs based on 4.3 for months (CM10.2 nightlies have been coming out since what, August?), and I guarantee you there will be customized versions of 4.4 long before Samsung cobbles something together based on TouchWiz. And no custom ROM will ever re-lock your bootloader; it's just Samsung's official updates you have to worry about there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rrrrrrredbelly:
Official updates - no. Custom roms that are based off updates, yes
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgdva:
Greetings!

I have tried some ROMs -Ace I SCAPE, REINCARNATION, simplicity v5- and kernels -bieltv 3.0 for cm7, rafael 201211201515- but no matter what, after a few reboots my launcher -that is in the internal memory- and link2SD -that is in the internal memory too- just disappear, I don't know how could I track this since is not consistent -is like after 8-11 reboots-. :confused:

I don't have a clue of how to prevent this or what could be triggering it.

PS: Everytime I tried any of the above ROMs with their Kernels, I got back to the stock in ODIN 3.07 then did a fresh clean installation.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Dark:
Logcat says it all :)

Try re-creating the case scenario, then using a PC, connect your phone (make sure to enable USB Debugging after the flash) and open a command line (Start->Run->cmd.exe if on windows)

Once open, try the instructions on this thread and upload the logcat here, try to make it as short as possible, I suggest you prepare it all before taking the logcat and once you find the issue, immediately do logcat

Good luck!
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgdva:
Right after the bug right? Because I wasn't sure if the logcat would explain why is after some reboots and not in the first one.

I'll be updating this post as it happens -usually is "conviently" when I finish installing all of my previous apps, then after 8-10 boots happens-.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Dark:
it's a possible way, but note that it's useless after a reboot lol so it has to be right before you install your apps ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgdva:
I installed some apps to see if because I'm installing too many of them are making the phone to cause this -not quite sure if link2SD is working properly-. I had 140 apps before the upgrade -before switching between/roms kernels-, the reason why I upgrade was that I couldn't upgrade from the store the installed apps -it always told me I was running out of memory-.

Anyways, I have tried these days to recrate the scenario , one of the random reboots -when suddenly a message telling Link2SD was not responding- my launcher got out again, when I tried to logcat this by rebooting it worked again:confused:

But my whatsapp was gone :confused:

Here's the logcat available at paste bin of

what I think

are the problems:

http://pastebin.com/3jMNX7LV

If needed, I upload the

whole thing

in box:

https://app.box.com/s/i66rfop429c0wgwldqv4

Anyways I attach the logcat in pastebin

PS: I have read that VFY is missing / replacing in the logcat, for what I have read here

Could be superuser got messed up while flashing the cm7 kernel?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Dark:
Try reflashing... Although the issues I've experienced with Link2SD are usually related to /data/ partition getting full when having too many apps..

If after reflashing, installing Link2SD and linking your apps again you still have issues, download Link2SD again from the Play store, you could also try the following after installing Link2SD and linking your apps: connect your phone to a PC and use adb shell, while the phone boots, once shell is up, do:

su
cd /data/
ls (make sure here that you have an sdext2 directory, if not, it means Link2SD is not installed properly)
cd sdext2
ls (make sure that you have a dalvik-cache directory in this place, if not, start Link2SD for a
cd /data/dalvik-cache/
for file in data*
do
if [! -h $file] (we make sure it's not a symlink already, you don't want looping links!!!)
cp $file /data/sdext2/dalvik-cache/
rm $file
ln -s /data/sdext2/dalvik-cache/$file $file
fi
done

try that without the text in the parenthesis lol

hope that helps, it could help anyone with space issues in /data/!!

For what I can understand everything is supposed to be linked right? hence this is shown "! not found"?

Should I make this everytime that happens? -if it happens again?-

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Dark:
you shouldn't need to do it every time, mainly when you install new apps, alternatively, you can check the apps' data directories to see which one is consuming a lot of space, you can do that by issuing the commands below:

su
cd /data/data
du -hc

that should tell you how much space every dir is using (I think, lol)

PS: HIGHLY IMPORTANT!!! You should no longer link dalvik-cache via link2sd with this, or you might experience Force Closes due to the apps' dalvik cache being missing, and I say being missing because if you link a dalvik-cache file that's already linked, Link2SD might move the link and overwrite the physical file, and you'll have a symlink loop :eek:
[Moto X Q&A] FSXv13:
Is it supposed to continuously flash even when there is nothing to report? My phone will flash an active notification so long as it is face up (then gain I can't tell when it is face down) even if there is nothing to report. It will just flash the key/lock pad.
[Moto X Q&A] stearic:
I think it does that when it sense some sort of vibration and thinks the phone has been moved slightly. I noticed it when it was in my generic car dock while driving.
[Moto X Q&A] mikel.canovas:
I think it's meant to do that in order to act as a sort of notification led. I personally like how it turns on occasionally so I can glance at it while it's sitting on a desk and see any notifications
[Moto X Q&A] mikeosu:
Mine does that, although I think it has to be activated. It seems really sensitive to being moved at all (not a problem IMO since it doesn't use much battery). I don't think it is supposed to do that without it sensing some sort of movement though. I also find it helpful to just be able to glance over and see if I have a text.
[Moto X Q&A] FSXv13:
Well if you have a text it should start flashing cause you have a text...

This is flashing even though there isn't anything to report. That's why I find it odd. There is nothing to report, so why is it flashing?
[Moto X Q&A] glitch003:
Because you bumped the phone and the accelerometer detected movement, and it thinks you may want to unlock the phone.

This is the feature that enables you to pick the phone up off the table and unlock it without pressing any physical buttons.
[Moto X Q&A] FSXv13:
I did not bump the phone when it is lying face up on the marble counter or when it is on the corner of my desk well away from my keyboard and mouse.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drop.of.peace:
Hello,

I have a very strange problem with my phone.

After installing the new ubuntu-touch release on the 17th October and reflashing paranoid android, I can't get any signals on pa (no imei, no baseband). The strange part is, if i install the stock rom, cyanogenmod, aokp, I can get these signals and it will display my imei.

The other thing is, in bootloader it displays the correct baseband and bootloader. (i have installed the one from date I have bought my phone and the one from the thread about paranoid android 3.99 RC2). I also have tried PA 3.99 RC 1 the last version worked with signals.

The first time I have installed ubuntu-touch I had signals and in the recovery i got two new mountpoints firmware and persist. I reinstalled ubuntu-touch and now there are also no signals. I can remember I also have formated firmware and persist. So may this could be the problem. At least I have decided to follow this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2347060 ([GUIDE]99% working unbrick method aslong you can get into download mode :D)

The problem persist, but the two mountpoints disapeared. (FYI: I have a Nexus 4 16 GB Model)

May one of the mountpoints were not restored correctly by this guide. May someone can backup his firmware mountpoint and can tell me where i have to restore it, because i think the whole /dev/block/mmcblk0 will be restored by this guide, if not so may the persist partition could be the problem and the firmware partition was created by ubuntu-touch and is not needed by android roms. (But I'am not into any android specific partition layouts)

I have backuped the efs "m9kefs1" and "m9kefs2" now. And the Phone runs now on the newest build of cm.

May someone could help me or have an usefull idea. But I can live without ubuntu-touch and paranoid android, but I really like the features of paranoid android.

Best regards

Richard
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
I assume you tried it with both recoveries just for trouble shooting. Also I know this doe not effect IMEI but did you try flashing radio after PA? Also did you have a backup of PA on your phone and did you try to restore from backup
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drop.of.peace:
Ubuntu-touch recovery, its still the same as clockworkmod (if you mean that with both recoveries). I only used cwm to wipe data and install roms.

I also have tested to install radio and boot after pa, without success. In recovery I can see persist and firmware, may it is something pa specific.

I had a backup, but I wiped it. I never thought a backup is a cleaner solution than a fresh rom installation. I thought its only for saving data.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drop.of.peace:
[Solution] [Solved]

The Problem is the newest CWM as mentioned in this thread ([EXPERIMENTAL] Semi-official builds of Omni):

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46511999&postcount=4

The solution is to downgrade CWM, you could do this by:

http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager

Chose Nexus 4 and copy the link of the version you want to download:

http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-[B]6.0.4.3[/B]-mako.img

Than change the version number to a lower version, like this:

http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-[B][U]6.0.3.1[/U][/B]-mako.img

Go to fastboot mode and erase userdata: (This will delete your private data)

fastboot erase userdata

Than lets write it again:

fastboot -w

Go to recovery mode, wipe and format all partitions, at least install paranoid android and reboot to system. Now the services should be back.

May you could skip the fastboot steps, but I stuck at a very long boot (I interpreted this as a bootloop and decided do format all partitions with cwm, install pa and reboot again. That worked for me)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
Glad you fixed it but thats why I asked you if you tried both recoveries... I also know some versions of TWRP had that issue but its since been resolved in the latest version. Most have more success and less issues with TWRP not CWM...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jixbo:
I updated normally my Nexus with the last nightly aviable of CM, the 10.2 20/10, with the cyanogenmod tool. I had the Semaphore Kernel and color-fix and it did't boot. I thought was because of the scrips of semaphore, it was stuck in the google screen. So I boot into the recovery, I flashed the kernel and the color fix, and now, I don't have recovery, I cannot boot the bootloader mode, and I cant even shutdown the phone.

I can use adb (I dont have root permisions), but fastboot is not working so I cant flash.

Any idea?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
try force rebooting the phone, hold the power button down for 15-20 seconds(until it reboots).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jixbo:
Thanks for your answer.

I already reboot the phone in all the different ways I know. With volume up, volum down, with both, with none, from the terminal, with adb reboot, adb reboot-bootloader, adb reboot -p (I tried to shutdown).

But it's always stuck on the google's screen :crying:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Your'e stuck in the Google screen because you're using incompatible kernel. Just boot into fastboot mode and flash a compatible kernel the cyanogenmod kernel. Why is fastboot not working?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jixbo:
OK, I have fastboot again. I flash from sideload cm, but It didn't work. Is not the kernel reflashed when I flash the full rom?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Yes the kernel is reflashed when you flash the rom, if the rom has boot.img in it.

You should also do a factory reset and format the /system partition before flashing. Just remember nightlies are daily automated build for testing, they are not recommended for daily use, and not being able to boot is not out of ordinary. You should try a different version.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
Not sure if you have fixed your issue since you have not responded for a while but the post above is some good info. Definitely wipe everything and format only system like noted above. This has helped me in the past and normally what I do when flashing new roms.

Also may I add in the future not using the word "bricked" since in reality you were able to get into your phone and it turned on. Maybe soft brick as to not be misleading especially for those who fear flashing as it its. Hope all is well and you are back up and running
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jixbo:
Thank you guys.

I could shut down the phone, holding power off a little bit more than rebooting. From there, I could boot fastboot, and recovery.

Then, I tried flashing the full cm nightly, but it didn't boot either. So, I installed the nightly from the 18, and it booted, and also didn't boot. I don't know where the scripts of the kernel are, so I tried to flash semaphore again and it worked.

I'll try later to format the /system partition and reflash, as you guys told me. Thank you so much!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
If you want to use a custom kernel with CyanogenMod know that they recently changed their code and there has been incompatibility issues. If you get issues, either use Cyanogenmod with its own kernel or try a different rom.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jixbo:
I knew I needed fix colors before the 18, but It seems now it's worst... I don't like cm don't mind about custom kernel... I will think about what to do :S

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iPwnAndroid:
There is very slight difference between them... first off lets note the sprint and att version are only different in terms of bloatware that comes pre installed on the devices. the only real two that are different are the verizon and att or international(sprint too) The buttons and curve are different on the two devices, as the att version goes for the bump to indicate where your power button is, the verizon version dosnt do that and has a more sleek design with the buttons, which can take some getting used to... im not sure if the back button on the verizon version has the LED light as does the international sprint and att versions do, other than that its just little software differences here and there with icons and what not... one more big difference is out of the box the att/international/sprint versions have the brightness and volume slider as the verizon does not... a less cluttered notification bar (: volume slider is still there but comes only when needed...

hey guys

sorry for bothering you. i know asking which ROM is the most stable is frowned upon. but I'm asking it because it is not my phone. it is my sister's and she is killing me. so, which one is the most stable ROM?

things i care about:

working camera

working wifi

working gps

working gprs

working ...(all the essentials)

good performance

thing i dont care about:

the android number ( it's not like my sister is the most tech savvy person). i dont care if it's android 4 or 4.1 or 4.2 or 4.3 . i just want it to be north of the android 4 and capable of getting her happy and satisfied with her phone.

thanx in advance

P.S: if you think there is a kernel or something that i better hear about, please let me know about it.
