[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spritualevil:
Actually, PIE is restricting some apps. So, I wanna disable it. I don't have much idea about it. I get such kinda errors using app.

Error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spritualevil:
I can disable PIE by replacing /system/bin/linker with a linker file that has PIE disabled. But I can't find such file. [MENTION=5991747]neonkat[/MENTION]
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neonkat:
try to search "pie controls" in search option for settings app(top right)..or i think there is an app also named "pie or pie controls"..have you tried to disable it from there?

i think there is one app as i used to disabled that when i was using aio v1.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spritualevil:
There ain't any PIE options except DBPie but it didn't worked.

Could you find linker file of disabled PIE?

well i am sorry as i already said i am not having the device right now(service centre)..maybe i will get it by mid-november,will flash the rom and then only i can help.until then you can keep googling..i will also search for something..

btw DBpie is the app which controls "pie controls"..try to disable that in settings-apps-all..or uninstall with some root explorer(delete dbpie.apk from system/app)or use some system app uninstaller.

i have no idea why the developer added that which is now outdated also.??

got it, I will give a try. Thank you.

I have been using this ROM since AIO-1 as a daily driver and I have been on roaming in this state for the past 4 years only because i can't leave Vodafone 3G speeds in India, also till now I have been using cellular(3G and 2G) for my Internet needs on my Grand 2 device, I haven't even tested Wi-fi on any of these ROM's yet coz I don't have access to Wi-fi yet so I can 100% confirm that data roaming works perfect on this ROM, never had a single issue since AIO-1, maybe you should try our beloved aapav's new CM12 ROM because he's using different RIL blobs from Lollipop itself to fix major dual sim issue, you can flash his ROM directly over AIO-3 should work fine .. Test and see if your Roaming issue is fixed

Stuck on Apps are starting after flashing this ROM

Team,

I flashed with this ROM and Gapps on Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 Duos. However, on reboot from Recovery Mode, it is stuck on the screen that says:

Apps are starting

I have waited for many hours, but the screen does not change.

I have followed all the steps like wiping data, cache, dalvik cache, format system, format boot, flashing this ROM, flashing Gapps, and reboot. That's when this gets stuck. I have tried this multiple times, but with the same results.

Please advise on the next step.

Thanks
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neonkat:
*which rom you were using before?

*which gapps file are you using?

*once try to flash without gapps and check if boots or not,if boots,then that maybe gapps issue.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syed.muddasdir:
- Originally, I was using stock ROM Android version 4.4.2 that came from Samsung.

* Then, I flashed with the ROM from mukulsoni, but that also failed after reboot and was stuck on the screen, "Apps are starting"

* I tried flashing this ROM mukulsoni multiple times after wiping data, cache, dalvik cache, format system, format boot, flashing this ROM, flashing Gapps, and rebooting every single time. Result: Stuck on "Apps are starting" every single time.

* Then I tried the BlissPOP ROM aapav, but with the same results. Result: Stuck on "Starting Apps".

- I have tried the following GAPPS if one did not work:

* Gapps-Stock-5.1.1-signed.zip (from mukulsoni)

* open_gapps-arm-5.1-stock-20151115.zip (from cyanogenmod website)

* tk_gapps-stock-5.1.1-20151004-signed.zip (from BlissPop recommended GAPPs)

Additional information I would like to supply:

Before I started flashing with any ROM, I had rooted my phone using KingRoot. Then, I read a post that KingRoot is not recommended and to replace it with SuperSU from ChainFire. I followed the following website to replace KingRoot with SuperSU, but that left my phone without root. Every single time I tried to click on SuperSU, it would say that there is no su binary and close. That is when I tried to flash with mukulsoni ROM, and on failure, tried BlissPOP also, but with failure again.

I am unable to post websites since I am new here. I followed the webpage from w0lfdroid with the title "How to Remove/Replace Kingroot (KingUser) with SuperSu". I don't know if this has something to do with.

Please help. I now have a phone that is not working.

***More info: I have a 64GB Class 10 SD card in the system. Please let me know if that is causing the problem too***

Many thanks for helping me.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neonkat:
i don't think full gapps package will work because our system memory is not that large like nexus phones..maybe if have seen in twrp or cwm then you must have got gapps error..please use micro or mini gapps(i will recommend open gapps)..while your gapps are downloading,just flash once more but this time,without gapps..i am sure it will boot up.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syed.muddasdir:
Based on your recommendation, I tried without installing any GAPPs, but the same result - "Starting Apps"

I did not encounter any error during any GAPPs installation. However, I found strange results on screen every single time I installed from any ROMs. That is, after installing ROM and before installing GAPPs. It would say "could not find \data"....." something like this, and then say "assuming ext4" and continue.

Is there some way where I can supply you with more information?

Many thanks

try to go to "mounts and storage"(if cwm) or "mount"(twrp) and try to mount "/data" partition(if mounted in cwm,it will show unmounted),if it gets mounted,again try to flash rom,should work,if dosen't mount(shows error)then it

seems like some problem with the partitions,an easy way to fix that is flash stock rom via odin..it will reset all partitions to stock.

Thank you [MENTION=5991747]neonkat[/MENTION]. I will try this right now and post back the results.

If the stock ROM successfully boots up,

Do I have to root it first in order for me to install CM12.1 or any other ROM? (Yes / No)

If rooting is required, do you recommend KingRoot or SuperSU from Chainfire.

If the stock ROM does not boot up unfortunately,

What options do you recommend next?
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neonkat:
*stock rom will boot up,if it does show some error,then downloaded odin rom is corrupt..download again and try.

*chainfire method of rooting or flash cwm directly(via odin mode),no need for root.

if in case you get errors(which i don't think will happen),then you will have to rush to samsung store(hard brick,new mother board)..btw the samsung store will upgrade your device or flash stock rom if you need but you have rooted your device hence they will refuse to do so.(warranty lost)
