MetaMorph Close Fix - Android Themes

I want to make metamorph work on my device without givving me fcs after i reboot. This happns when i try to change the boot animation by writing to framework-res.apk. i have a working busybox and nandroid backups so i am willing to try anything...please help.
i have tried running fix_permissions which didnt help
i have tried the linking solution
the process works fine because u can see the new boot animation load up fine but the phone gets a billions force closes for almost everything as soo as i unlock.

switching on/off or rebooting...... = crazy things

hey there fellas
(i'm sorry to post my problem here in the development section but i guess it might be related to the lag fix)
My SGS is acting weird lately , dunno if its related to the lag fix ( [UTIL] One Click Lag Fix 1.0 - 2.0 ) ever since i got the phone with normal use iv never seen anything funny like this. it all started with lag fix version 1 , the phone was fast and with that fix even faster , the phone was all good started with the root as step 1, then it was the market fix, after that i was tempted to try the lag fix which was amazingly effective, went from version 1 to version 2 of it and then it started.
the phone took long to respond 'sometimes' when the screen was off and after a day the phone simply didnt want to get out of standby ( black screen ) so used the boot mode and formatted the phone , once the phone started i formatted the internal sd and rebooted and applied the Root-market fix-lag fix ver 1.0 in that sequence, now the phone seems a little weird . by weird i mean strange things r happening like when i goto the apps menu the icons move by them selves in a random way after a reboot. I set it up to show apps in the first couple pages followed by games , now its all messed up and i didn't mind it at all.
with my internet provider i really have to keep an eye on my 3g usage, and have been using 3g watchdog to keep track. now i notice everytime i restart or switch off / on the phone, the counter goes back to 0 which really gets on my nerves.
now to track the problem would someone point me in the right direction ?
could it be the lag fix ? could it be the program itself ? should i switch to another ? would i need a fresh flash ? my phone is working on eclair 2.1 version I9000JXJF1 , using kies since day 1 there has been no firmware update for the U.A.E and i dont want to risk updating to anything unless its official from samsung.
any help is much appreciatted ^_^
it's interestingly weird case.
i'll start by suggesting to wipe the cache data, and data in recovery mode or
*2767*3855#
WARNING! FACTORY RESTORE, DATA WIPE AND RESET TO FACTORY STATE, as soon as you enter the last # use it only if you want to clean wipe your phone
i started with the first and then was like WTH and went with the second only to find out its the same procedure hehehe..... anyways phone is fresh now , started with rooting then off with lag fix 2.0 ( hope it dont get that same problem again ) . Now i notice there's no bootup logo when starting the SGS ( the swirling S ) but the sound still plays , is this normal ?

I had this exact same issue when I was using SetCPU. Uninstalled it and the problem was gone. Also some of the custom kernels are having wake-up lag.

Are you using LauncherPro? If so, this is common behavior and might also be so with other launchers. After booting up it will sequentially load your apps and that's why they will seem to popup in a random order bouncing about in the menu. After it's finished loading everything it will all be back to normal.

Seems to me that you had a problem with applying your lagfix and that the phone doesn't store your app-data properly.
My recommendation is to update to the JM5 firmware. It's the version that's been most tested with the lag fixes. I'm running JM5 with RyanZA's Lag Fix 2.0 and SamSet 1.9e (except kernel). It works like a charm and have done so for the past week. No wake-up lag, crashes or other weird behavior.
Hope this helps, and good luck

First boot will always take longer time and might also affect the sync between the sound and animation. It's normal!

thank you very much for your informative reply
let me start replying to what u just told me
#1
I had this exact same issue when I was using SetCPU. Uninstalled it and the problem was gone. Also some of the custom kernels are having wake-up lag.
i dont have SetCPU installed as i have tried it for a few days and found it useless , since i dont have the 1.2 ghz tune i dont see why i should even keep the app, yes i saw how the app messes with the phone so i removed it.
#2
Are you using LauncherPro? If so, this is common behavior and might also be so with other launchers. After booting up it will sequentially load your apps and that's why they will seem to popup in a random order bouncing about in the menu. After it's finished loading everything it will all be back to normal.
no im not using Launcher Pro and i could see how it would affect the arrangment of the programs but it wasn't that. My guess is it might probably be 1 of 2 , either titanium backup or Mybackup pro after restoring the data and not the apps.
#3
Seems to me that you had a problem with applying your lagfix and that the phone doesn't store your app-data properly.
im guessing a maybe here since i dont know how it would affect my 3g watchdog's app or make it reset the counter, i switched to Network monitor ( not as good as 3g watchdog but it does the same job ^_^ )

just like i said id love to go that way but can wait a month or 2 till froyo joins the fun.

i hope its just a sync problem , but the phone gave up on the animation , after a couple of tries yea the logo simply isn't there anymore just the sound but i did notice a little faster boot up time this way with only a small vibration to indicate the phone has started.
i'll redo everything again 1 step at a time 1 app at a time , i'll delete my backups as i could do it just this time to get a good fix after a clean boot , and i guess i'll just stick with version 1 as i didnt see anything wrong with it so no need to jump to version 2 of the lag fix
could anyone tell me what app will back up all my sms/mms/call log without any trouble ? does titanium do that coz i looked everywhere and couldn't find anything regarding that
Thanx to everyone for your help ^_^
now to find a fix for that gangster game after redoing everything
ok new discovery
using mybackup pro to backup all the sms's and mms's restarted after the restore and boom
what i see now is the old background from before the *2767*3855# method and the apps linked to homescreen from before , could it be the trouble maker ?
ok now im not gonna use it and test the whole procedure all over again
ok i guess thats it... even after a factory reset the logo wont show up again T_T
any tutorials on how to flash the original FW safely ? where could i find my original FW ? thing is i need arabic lang and doubt the JW5 has it built in anyways im off for now....... ~ spends the night googling~

[Q] market problem wont install apks

Hi ppl,
First of all I am from Turkey. Market is not allowed for us to use here..
I have been trying to make it work. I have got the vending apk installed. I can see applications when I try to install them they just wont start. I can see them downloading but not progress..
I have changed the dns but ntahing has changed..
any suggestion?
I'm having the same issue. Some apps will download to 100% then just sit there and never install. Doesnt happen with all apps but a lot of them.
I need some help pls some one help us
Try to clear all market data in Settings-Applications.
Worked for me. Thanks!

[Q]Unable to install apps

Hey guys...
I had Phoenix 4.5 VA Themed, than later with glass dialer mod and GO launcher EX...
but after awhile when I went to download apps from the market it just wouldnt download...
The screen kept at the download accept permission "ok" button screen... no loading bars or error pop ups or anything...
just plain idle screen
So I than went to my files and tried to install using apps in my folder...
well "My File" was missing and so was "TiBu".
So what else could I do?
I did a full restore and that didnt work so I did it again.
It didnt work.. the second time so I gave up but all of a sudden it worked...
so I DL go laucher ex and it worked...
yet again after an hour or so...
it stopped working....
is this a compatibility issue or my hardware issue?
any help will be really grateful.
Thanks in advance.
***Also when im manually installing through the phone... it will hang on installing app with the bar moving but nothing happening.
I even let it sit for 30mins.***
well I did everything except odin....
did a restore and it still didnt help....
anyone have an idea why this is happening???
maybe in an internal problem?
Clearing the market cache usually fixes most of the problems you described. Go to settings, applications, manage applications, all, then scroll down to market. From there, I force close the market and clear the cache and clear data then reboot. Hope that helps.
I found out why....
GLE with their custom theme and my LWP raindrop was the problem.
When I got rid of the LWP it worked again....
Thanks for your help though ^^
never mind... it stopped working again...
it wont install or uninstall anything...
sigh...
anyone might have an idea as to why?
I am guessing noone can help me out on this.................
T.T
Have you tried clearing the market cache?
yes i have done everything there is...
even went to stock and tried downloading...
it didnt work and than it started working...
all in all
i got fed up and returned it because mine fell in the "phone keeps resetting" range in the imei number or whatever......and got it replaced....=/
thanks for the reply though
Well the new phone is the same....
i install a new rom and i cant install any apps...
WTF
it works when i first turn it on through wifi without sim card....
but once i sign in with my sim card and sd card... it just doesnt want to DL or install anything...
Anyone else having this problem???
Please help!
ok....
Can the sim card be the cause of this problem?
I put 1 card in at a time and it doesnt work with the sim card in......
While noone seemed to want to give me any answers or help other than think its a cache thing...
I took my captivate in and told them to give me a new sim because of this problem and they did without asking anything else...
and it looks like it was the sim to cause the unable to install apps or download apps from the market...
So to those who might have a similar issue try getting a new sim card and see if that helps.
and those who replied before thank you.
hopefully this is will help someone.
Never mind...
it did it again...
new phone new sim new rom phoniex and SN....
am very aggrovated...
I can install all apps by dl it through maket tibu or from apk ONLY if i have no sim in the phone....
help still needed...
Something new to add to this...
When I used Apps2SD and put all of the apps in SD
I take out my sd card and put it back in.
All the apps in the SD card do not show up and when I go to manage applications then to the on SD card tab.
They all show up but the words computing.... is below the app names and they arnt able to run...
any takers on what the problem might be?

[Q] no data and "insufficient space"

Super boob. I rooted, installed clockwork mod. Made lots of changes and deleted lots of stock files (music widget hanging in my notification bar) I was working then I downloaded "atorrent" just to see if torrents were good for mobile. Now I have no data signal, will not download anything due to insufficient space. I did a factory reset and that was the wrong thing to do!! Got another phone coming tomorrow but I WILL figure a way to fix this! Help would be appreciated tho!!
Ok could you tell us what it does when you turn it on? Does it go into cwm? Does it go into download mode and any other info about whats rong with it now that you did a factory reset?
It boots normally and phone and txt msg work, also wiring works just fine. I am not sure if the atorrent download had anything to do with but its the only thing I did between total normal operation and what I have now.
Factory reset removed titanium and other root tools I had along with everything else. Still have superuser but not sure if still root as there is no way to know and cannot download anything directly. (Wifi, not wiring)
To clarify, It seems like I can download anything except market Apps. I have more more than enough room for files, it will let me dl asphalt 6 because I have to launch the game to do so. U Prolog know that's 300 MB. Plenty of space. Settings, about this phone, status, mobile network state = connecting.... been stuck there for 2 days. Called att and they said possible similar card error. It works just fine in the wife's phone. ( same also rooted)
have you tryed reflashing the kdz with lg flasher tool?
if you dont know how follow these steps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491870
Not near a comp I can do that with but I will give a try either later tonight or tomorrow. Hope it works and I will post as soon as I do. Thanks a bundle!
Ya np if that dosent work might wanna talk to dark in the free assistance thread just below this one he knows more about this stuff then me.
the phone lost root. i cant get it to root again. "permission denied" i am getting new thrill tomorrow so i will root and be a bit more carefull. use this one as a practice phone. i really want to make it work. i will tinker with it and if i can get it rooted again i will try the above.
i really appreciate the help in any case!
You dont need root to flash a kdz its just tricking the program into thinking its an update.
ok so i got it fixed be flashing a new rom (cyanogen nightly) works faaassssttttttt!!!! only problem is i cant get market to work. unable to open connection to server error. lookin for a fix to that now. everything else is superb!! this forum is freakin awesome!!

[Q] Perpetual "System UI has stopped working" message after changing boot animation

[Q] Perpetual "System UI has stopped working" message after changing boot animation
After changing the boot animation on my Moto X by using Matthew Pierces program Mbat my phone perpetually receives the message "unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped" on startup. If I select Ok the message reappears shortly and prevents me from using my phone for more than a few seconds. When I tried to revert to stock boot animation using the program, the program tells me rm failed for /data/moodle/bootanimation.zip Any help on how to fix this???? Thanks

I have some questions for you before i can help you out
What Carrier is your Moto X
Is your Bootloader unlocked
what version of Android are you on
Moving on....
OK next what ever program you used stay away from it uninstall it asap.
Next i would download this program for locked bootloaders. to change boot animations
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590034
read the Whole first post before you do anything at all. that way you know how the app works and what to do.
Next lets get you a Bootiescreen from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2417961
i know these ones work correctly.
so get everything installed and install your new BootieScreen and see if that stops the system-UI error.
If not we are going to move on to more drastic options
If you have a nandroid backup then this would be your next option if the above dose not fix your error.
if you don't have a nandroid back up then i would do a factory Reset or reinstall your firmware via RSD Lite or Bootloader/fastboot method and i know that will fix the issues.
Good luck i hope the first option fixes the issues so you dont have to start from scratch

Hello!
Thank for the really detailed response and all the help, but I just figured it out. It turns out that it was a problem with one of the modules I downloaded for the Xposed Framework. The module I downloaded wasn't compatible with my device but I didn't realize this until I rebooted my device to change the boot animation. Once I figured this out I was able to flash the Xposed-Disabler.zip and return to stock with no problems. Thanks again for all the help and I will definitely use those provided links to change my boot animation.
