Ok.... I just realized that this has nothing to do with the Play Store App or updating your apps.... Your actual phone system is optimizing at boot screen.... like this pic, right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
I'm not in any way a developer or expert.... this stuff is just a hobby for me...so please understand these are just my thoughts to hopefully help and not make things worse for you. :) With that said, I suspect you have an app or script (or something) that is doing something like wiping the Dalvik cache with each reboot, which is triggering your phone to run through the optimization process each time you boot. I am pretty confident this has nothing to do with SDM being frozen. I'm not sure about gapps with stock. Why do you need that if your running stock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] doctor-cool:
Anyhow, What ROM do you recommend ? I'm using my phone to do Wave Accounting and Pay Pal transactions so I cant have down time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
Sorry for being off base with my initial thought on your above post... It's been a long week at work and I'm tired.... so that's my excuse... :)

I hope you get it sorted out with what's causing your phone to upgrade/optimize apps at each reboot. I did a Google search just now and apparently, this is common issue asked on XDA. I found several comments from people saying they think something causes the Dalvik/Cache to get wiped on reboot. I also read where someone reported that flashing Gapps did the same thing to them. If you're going to flash a new ROM, that should take care of the problem when you wipe things for the new flash.

On the XDA forums, it's generally frowned upon to ask for ROM recommendations. But for me personally, I have decided to settle (for now) on Beanstown106's JellyBeans ROM Build 22 which is based off of 4.1.2. I think this was the last 4.1.2 based Rom (for our SCH-I605's) that he did for his JellyBeans ROM before he moved on to developing for 4.3 MJ9, so I think a lot of the bugs were worked out of it.

I love the ROM and I've tried out several others. I always end up coming back to it because it's really stable and (pretty much) everything works. And with Xposed Modules and his built in options, I can tweak everything to how I like it.

You can still grab his older JellyBeans ROM build 22 by going to the current Alliance Rom Thread here: ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2032447 ), and then going to the "Downloads" area right above the thread title. The ROM Filename is: note2_JellyBeans_B22.zip.

There's tons of great ROM's for our phone and there's so many talented developers..... so I truly think you have to read through the threads on each of the ROM's to make a decision for your personal needs... but I know that JellyBeans Build 22 is very stable if that's what you're wanting. If you decide to try out JellyBeans Build 22, let me know if you need help with instructions for flashing it. I saved the install instructions for future reference when I flashed it the first time last year, but I don't see those old install instructions any place now that he's moved on to developing for the updated 4.3 build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] doctor-cool:
Thanks and right on time, After I did my return to stock I thought I needed to wipe both caches' and the system to be able to do a Titanium backup.

I lost my operating system and Odin didn't recognize my phone, I was looking for a 4.1.2 zip file at the time I found your post. THANKS!

I'm downloading now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
When you say you returned to stock, I'm hoping you didn't ODIN flash a full stock version of 4.1.2, because that would have relocked your bootloader and removed the custom recovery and root. If you were able to use Advance wiping features, you must still have some sort of custom recovery on your phone.

Hopefully, you do so you can flash a zipped ROM back onto it. If you've still got an unlocked bootloader and have a custom recovery, you may want to try to flash this root/modified version of "stock" 4.1.2:

( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2261478 ). It was also made by Beanstown106 and the thread still has instructions.

Also, you may do some Google searching to find tips on how to get your computer/ODIN to recognize your phone in download mode again... the most common tips I've seen are to try to uninstall and reinstall the Samsung drivers on your computer...and to try different USB cables and different USB ports on the computer.

I'm exhausted and I'm going to bed, but here are the original install instructions posted by Beanstown106 for JellyBeans ROM Build 22 if needed.

------------------------

"(INSTRUCTIONS) YOU MUST BE UNLOCKED

Step 1-

Make sure u are unlocked

Step 2-

Wipe all(factory reset and davlick wipe) if coming from an old build

Step 3-

Install the Rom (flash it in your custom recovery)

Step 4-

Reboot and Enjoy!"

-------------------------------------

Hope that helps. (Also, if Beanstown's stuff helps you... I'd encourage you hitting the thanks button for all his hard work :D )
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] doctor-cool:
Thanks I used JellyBeans ROM build 22 just to have a system so that I could get to Odin. Then I did flash the full stock version of 4.1.2 then I used the Casual method to unlocked the boot-loader and reinstall WIN recovery and root. As explained here http://xdaforums.com/note-2-verizon/help/rom-optimizing-t2817294. ( I ran into some driver issues between Casual and Odin but they were resolved)

Actually I have three Samsung i605's.

I have one that has got all the Verizon OTA updates, never tampered with it's on 4,4,2.

I have the one we have been talking about I have restored it to the fully stock version of 4.1.2 with Root.

And the last one I am experimenting with DN3 (Ditto Note 3) for fun and knowledge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
doctor-cool,

That's great. Glad you got it fixed.

And that's pretty cool to have extra devices to work with. Must be nice. :)
[Moto G Accessories] Semseddin:
Hello guys,

As an ex razr owner, i miss the premium,grippy and sturdy feeling of my phone. Unfortunately, our Moto G 's come with a cheap plastic backcover that would never feel premium. After all you get what you pay for. :)

I had a spare xt912 backplate lying around so i said why not apply the kevlar on the G backcover as an experience. The result i could achieve in 10 minutes with sticky tape is visible in photos below. If i had more kevlar, i would have done this more professional. :rolleyes:

Btw i'm not using this cause it looks so bad. Just looking for an online seller where i could get the OEM Moto G Ferrari kevlar backpanel.

So, I found this ROM on the forums that say install using recovery, and since I can´t reply yet (Ty xda mods) I wondered if he means install using Androids "Install update from SD Card" or the Recovery mod.

is there anything I can do?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stathis95194:
If it boots and just system.ui is crashing, try to connect via USB and fastboot reboot-bootloader.

Or else try to press power + vol-up for sometime and as soon as it reboots keep pressed vol-down it might need a bit of timing though

You can root and flash if you already have a custom kernel with a recovery installed. You cannot unlock bootloader without a PC connection.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digger16309:
Greetings,

I had an AT&T S4 and after the last OS update, suddenly my Spotify app was passing through song titles to my Toyota FJ factory radio display, streaming via bluetooth. Prior to that, streaming occurred but, the radio just said, "No Title".

Now I have an AT&T G3 and after pairing up fine with the radio, I get great music streaming in, but "No Title" on the display.

I'm rooted, froze a bunch of apps, and changed some permissions as well.

So, I'm trying to track down whether this is an Android version issue, or a frozen app/permissions issue. I would really like to get this passing through song titles as the S4 was.

Anyone have any ideas as to what drives that functionality?

Was this an update to Bluetooth included in an Android version after the 4.4.2 I have on the G3 now? If so, since I'm rooted, is there a way to side-load that into the G3 so I can recover this functionality?

Thanks,

Digger
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] eris170:
Thought I'd try out the encryption in AOKP on my Nexus 7 (2013) and decided I didn't like it. I read that a "factory reset" in TWRP was supposed to remove it, although it would nuke all my files, sdcard, apps, etc. No problem, the thing is brand new so nothing really on it. After wiping however, when I boot into recovery now, TWRP is still asking for the encryption PIN. I thought I would just get into the shell over ADB and see what's going on but not able to do that either. I just get "?????????" when trying to view the device with "adb devices". I read something about erasing userdata, system and cache from fastboot and also another piece of info about flashing the stock recovery back to it, but not sure that's the best route. Any thoughts? Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] wantabe:
A factory reset from inside TWRP does NOT wipe internal storage/sdcard. If you want to wipe everything you can either do it from inside TWRP with "advanced wipe" or just do a normal factory reset from Settings/Backup and reset. If you fastboot flash the userdata and cache images that would also be like a factory reset. If you wipe/erase the system you will need to fastboot flash the system image or flash a rom BEFORE you try and reboot.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] eris170:
Sorry, I meant to say I did the advanced wipe and smoked the data partition. I was going to go back and edit my post but it wouldn't let me do it for another five minutes and I went off and did something else. When you say "fastboot flash" the system image, do you mean re-install TWRP with "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" ?

I tried a different comp and was able to get to the device over ADB so I pushed aokp_flo_jb-mr2_milestone-1.zip over ADB to /sdcard and did the same with gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip. TWRP installed them OK, but after reboot, the zygote process now keeps trying to restart com.google.android.setupwizard which errors out with a dialog box which says "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped". I touch "Ok" but the dialog just comes back. Looks like I've made a real mess of things.

Should I just go find the stock OS image and recovery image and flash them over?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] wantabe:
I'm pretty sure that wiping data from inside advanced wipe will have wiped everything, that should have been enough to get rid of your encryption.

No. The system image I was talking about is from the factory image. You have to extract/unzip the factory image a couple times before you can see the zip folder with all the images ( boot (kernel), cache, recovery, system and userdata). You had mentioned in your first post "erasing userdata, system and cache." If you erase system you will need to replace it otherwise your device does not have an os (operating system) anymore. One of many ways to replace it would be to fastboot flash the system image (fastboot flash system system.img) that is extracted from the factory image.

. I've always used the stock rom on my Nexus devices so I'm not much help with anything else. But... just from looking at the names on the zips you installed I'm guessing the "jb" means Jelly Bean and the gapps you installed are almost a year old. So... WTH? ; )

I think in your case the easiest thing to do would be to flash the factory image and start over. You will then need to reinstall TWRP and then use TWRP to install/flash the supersu zip. My advice would be to do lots of research before flashing custom roms and custom kernels. After you get back to the factory rom you really need to use TWRP to do a backup (nandroid) BEFORE you flash any custom roms and kernels, with that done it will be easy as hell to get back to stock after experimenting with whatever! Don't rely on toolkits, install the android sdk and learn adb fastboot commands, it's not hard, hell even I can do it!

One of the great things about android is having the ability to change what you don't like and for the most part it isn't hard to do.

Sorry, currently a new member but being the noob I am- it seems I flashed my International I9300 to a different device (SGH-I747)...

My device is stuck on the Samsung start-up (no biggie), and I believe it's soft-bricked but currently I have no idea what to do.

I've been on Odin and followed many guides to get it back to stock but to no avail. It all fails. I believe something with the MTP failing to install is also a problem. I've done the CMD command and went into regedit and a number of other things.

Right now Kies can't even do an Emergency Firmware Recovery won't pick it up.
