CM5 is acting weird.

Okay I first installed the latest stable version of CM5 on my Dream, and it loaded up fine, then I used my Backup Pro program to reinstall my programs then it kept saying that super permissions has stopped working and to end the program, and after it was done reinstalling my apps it said there was an error in all of them. So I rebooted my phone, and after the boot screen shows up I enter my 4 digit code and android shows up then it says messaging has stopped working end now, and I clicked it, and now it keeps going back to the boot screen over and over and over, how do I fix this?
Also it said something about the core not being responsive, and the gapps I installed was not working, and I really need my phone to work again, what did I do wrong?
EDIT - I wiped and reinstalled, I'll post back and see if it's fixed.
EDIT 2 - Well it didn't have any of those error messages, and I started to reinstall all my apps using my backup pro app then all of a sudden it froze for an hour and so I just took out the battery because my phone wasn't responsive at all. Then I tried turning it on and it just froze a the G1 symbol. So I wiped everything and reinstalled again, and now it's booting up again so I'll post back to see if it's working.
EDIT 3 - I was using my backup pro app again and it got to about half way before the super permissions kept force closng and then the android process kept closing over and over, so I'm rebooting my phone.
EDIT 4 - It keeps saying that home and android keep force closing, so I'm not sure how I'm going to get my apps back, I'm going to wipe and reinstall again.

Have you tried using something better than MyBackup Pro? If I ever meet the creator, I'm going to slap them and get my five dollars back. Then I probably kick their dog for even creating something that crappy.

What do you suggest then?
Okay I am sick and tired of this rom. It was working fine then I tried using some of my widgets and it would say they were not working, then acore kept closing and now none of my apps work, so I rebooted and it's stuck at the G1 screen, what the heck do I do now? So now my phone won't even boot into CM.
EDIT - Well I'm flashing Super E and hope that it's better.

[Q] Home Key won't work, screen won't lock - Cyanogen 6.2.0 10-12 Blackmod

Hi all,
I've run into this issue a couple times, and it's always required a nandroid restore, but I was hoping you might have some suggestions that aren't as drastic. Yesterday, LauncherPro crashed (uninstalled itself?) and so everything reverted back to the ADW Launcher. In reinstalled LauncherPro and force stopped ADW Launcher, so at least I have my home screen back. After LauncherPro quit on me though, I noticed that my screen wouldn't lock anymore. I've checked the settings, the timeout's still the same as before, it just won't lock anymore. My home key stopped responding too. It's still recognized as a button (i.e. it wakes my phone up), but it won't do anything (i.e. getting from the app drawer to the homescreen). After reinstalling LauncherPro, all my apps that I had moved to my SD card disappeared, and I had to unmount and remount my SD card for them to show up again. This is all after battery pulling, hair pulling, and restarting countless numbers of times.
I'm running Jaybob's Cyanogen 6.2 10-12 BlackMod. Any one have any ideas?
Thanks

I would uninstall launcher pro and then clear the data from applications in ADW. Then install launcher pro again. Don't force stop ADW, just hit your home button and then select launcher pro as default. If that doesnt work, try reflashing your rom over what you have and see if that works. Beyond that, you may have to reflash your rom, something got corrupted somewhere.

I'll try reflashing a new ROM on top of it, hopefully that works. Thanks. I uninstalled and reinstalled LauncherPro, so everything's looking normal at least. Do you think the screen lock issue and the home button issue are because something got corrupted in the ROM too?

I think that is most likely. It is possible something in the framework got messed up when you had your issues. You don't have to flash a different rom either, if you reflash the one your using over what you have without a wipe the only thing it will do is undo any changes made as well as themes etc, everything else will still be there, so you won't have to set a lot back up. Give it a shot

Flashed the 10-12 Blackmod, still didn't work. Just flashed the most recent version too, (12-31) Blackmod, and they still don't work. Screen still doesn't lock, and I just realized that, not only the home button not work, but neither does the search button. If I don't want to nandroid this, do I just have to learn to live with this?

Update: nandroid restored it. Restored apps and data with Titanium Backup. Plugged it in to delete the nandroid backup to free up some space on the SD card, and the issue came back. Seriously contemplating a factory reset. Ugh.

I remember hearing stuff about this when people were flashing the tiny gapps. Did you flash the gapps from 12/18 in the OP of jaybob's thread? If not give that a try. Screen lock may be spotty if you have disabled window animations, so if you did that go enable them, then for speed you can go into spare parts and set them to fast.

I may actually have flashed the tiny gapps...the strange thing is that my phone was fine for almost 2 months before this issue came up. Are the window animations Cyanogen settings or LauncherPro settings? I'm pretty sure I didn't disable them...I ended up factory resetting it and flashing the updated ROM and 12/18 gapps, and everything looks like it's running pretty smoothly now.

Just got those. Yup, those animations are real nice. Loving my Hero again.

Please help

Okay so I rooted my phone and i removed some apps that were safe to remove using titanium backup pro. I then was having some problems with my phone where it would just start hitting the space bar until i hit another button, same thing with back space. So I factory restored it because I read somewhere that if you factory restore it'll still stay rooted.
So now that I factory restored it and wiped the cache. I am stuck trying to move past the add your accounts. If i click next I get to the part where my gps is. but then I get the problem of click 1 of the 3 for your gps. I then get a force close for my account.
I made a back up of everything using titanium back up. but I can't do anything.... Please help me

Was your phone plugged in? Idk if this is something others experience but if my phone is on usb debug and plugged in everything acts stupid and I end up having the same type of issues you started with. They disappear once it's unpluggged, tho. Sorry I can't help as far as restoring **** goes but I'm sure someone else may have some advice for that, I'm still not sure how to restore anything myself if stuff goes wrong.

Nevermind i got this taken care of. =]
I restarted again deleted everything again by wiping it. then I logged in and waited for my old launcher pro to download. I went to the market after they downloaded by dragging down and clicking home. I ended up clicking launcher pro instead. I then was able to just restore bloatware and then remove it after everything was okay

[Q] Having problems with rooted SGH-T679 running CyanogenMod 10

Hello everyone, thanks for taking the time to read my thread. i'm really having a hard time here. I'm trying to take pictures, but it has become so unstable, and I can't reply. and it keeps saying i don't have any space in my SD. I've NEVER had this problem with my other ROM/Default.
There are 2 SDs, one is the one i bought and put it, so i can put all my music and i thought the other i would be able to have it for pics and other stuff. But I can't see it. i've taken out so much music to try and make space (like 10 folders/albums). But it's still saying it doesn't have enough space.
I'm right now rooted. used ClockworkMod then installed CM10 I believe. or CM11 and right now i'm running android (I went from a 2.3.6) to 4.1.2. on an SGH-T679 and the ROM is CyanogenMod version, Build date Apr 2, 16H EDT 2019, CyanogenMod version 10-20130402-UNOFFICIAL-Ancora_tmo. I hope that's enough info.
So I'm guessing if anyone from these forums. Has anyone been through this? Or has heard of someone else having problems. Because my #1 thing is just walking around NYC, taking pics. But when I can only walk around and like take 3 or 4 pics. i'm like :crying: all day. And i don't have the $ to just buy a camera like that.
P.S. and since yesterday, It takes longer to load the battery while charging unlike before. I thought that it was weird. But then to waste/discharge the battery.
Thank you

This may or may not solve your problem, sometimes there are hidden files that stay on your internal storage and eat up all your room. In your file manager enable hidden files, then look for things you can remove. One of hem right off the bat would be .thumbnails, I'm sure there are more but honestly you have to look around your storage, there may be old downloads or cache files that are still there. Hope this helps.

I think i flashed my ROM, data, cache, dalvik-cache and I think data was the last one. and since i've done that. I can't start my phone. It says samsung. then the samsung cyanogenmod start up screen, and it just hangs there. can anyone help me with this pls? I pressed
start button + down volume button. Then it says that it's going to download the OS for me. But i think that just hangs too cause it takes a while. and then it goes back to the start up screens that won't go anywhere.
Thanks D'vari, but unfortunately i think i'm passed that. Now i need to know just how to start my phone and get it past the phone.

You probably have conflicting data somewhere. Try power + volume up. That should get you into recovery. Then wipe everything except system and you should be able to boot up.

It took so long, because i read somewhere else to press vol down + power button. so i was trying. And It got me into Odin, and that said an OS is important, do you want to dl an OS now? so i said, well, i don't think i even have one left, so i chose yes. then it would say it was downloading for hours. but then it would boot up into the boot up screen loop. which was kind of good, but i didn't think so at the moment. Then i read how to get into cwm in my phone. so then i did it, and i had to do an advanced restore before regular restore was coming back MD5 mismatch. So It's like i flashed my old system, restored it to factory cyanogenmod factory. Tomorrow i'll flash cm10 and google apps and something else that had swipe working on this phone. maybe it was just upgrading to CM10, because now it's in version 9 and swipe is not working.
Thanks for your help

cyanogenmod issues as well
I had the same issue last week when updating to 10.1. but it did say that it may take a while to boot up. I didn't stress it. I just plugged it in by my bed and went to bed. when I woke up the next morning, I had it!
I did the volume up/power-wipe clean-reboot and then I slept. give that a try. maybe you are just like me and worrying that it is taking too long and you have F-ed up your phone!
On a different note, this 10.1 is awesome. But I can't get it to recognize my sd card. it does show that one is mounted but wont save anything and wont let me access the files. I have wiped the sd card clean and formatted to fat32. but that is doing nothing for me. any other suggestions here? I need my music and the space! this is taking so much time, it almost isn't worth the effort. but I love the cyanogenmod 10.1. but can't keep if it wont work right. ???

I'm using pac 4.2 and I can switch were I want my pics stored from the camera settings maybe that ROM would help your situtation.

Thank you for all your help. But i decided to switch over to JellyBean. But i've been having some minor problems with it. I just flashed this ROM after doing something stupid in CWM (as you all know) while using cyanogen. I actually really like this ROM. I though CM10 futuristic looking. this beats that by a lot of points. I just have a problem now. The icons in the apps menu/section, are spaced too far apart. IDK what I did to cause this. Cause i was messing with those options of icons rows and colums for the desktop, but i set it back to default and that still didn't do anything to the apps section.
The other problem I'm having is with the camera. I try to open it, but it just says camera can't go on, 'wait-report-close'. That type of message. IDK what it is because the main reason for switching was to be able to take lots of pics. I love taking pics with my phone. And i found out what had my internal memory soooo clogged up. I had a .txt music cache file that was 848MB. Once I erased that, I know have 50% free space.
It looks really retarded . I know i'll fix it somehow, someday. I think there's even an upgrade now for slimbean, maybe I should try that. But right now i'm in google play store. in the 'my apps' list. and going through what i used to have, and installing my old apps, one by one. a grueling task, but I really want to use this ROM as my main rom.

Rooted HTC Vivid. Big Mess. Need Help

Ok, just to get this out of the way, I am an idiot.. Many points in this post will verify this fact. I apologize in advance, but sincerely appreciate any help.
So, this issue started badly and has gone down hill from there. I will try to go step-by-step with what has happened and will probably use too many words because I usually do.
To start, I have an HTC Vivid, rooted with the Vivid All-in-One Root Kit V2.2. When I got the phone nearly 2 years ago, I rooted it as soon as I got it out of the box and the root went flawlessly. I am still on stock ICS 4.0.3 and HTC 3.6. I have CWM Recovery 5.5.0.4.
While on vacation last week, my phone was being buggy. Shutting off, taking forever to reboot and once rebooted if you touched in less than 5 minutes, it died again. It has done this in the past but was getting worse. So, Monday night, having just got back from vacation, and utterly exhausted, I decided it was a fine time to move some media files that should not have been on my phone storage to my sd card. I grabbed the DCIM file in ES Explorer and moved it to ext-sd folder. In my tired state, I did not realize I was not moving it to the right area. I fell asleep while it was transferring.
I woke up the next morning and saw some type of notification from ES Explorer, but was running late to get the dog from the kennel, so I dismissed it and ran. While at the vets, I realized my text message tone had reset to default. I went back home and looked and all my vacation pictures and videos from Sunday and all my ringtones were gone. So, I start trying to find my pics and ringtones on my phone and it starts crashing again. At this point, I can't get it to stay on for longer than 5 minutes. I could get the phone to behave if I mounted as a disk drive on my PC, so I copied all the internal and sd files to a folder on my desk top.
After working on things for hours, at my husband's advice, I did a factory reset. I opted to do this from CWM. I thought I had been backing everything up on Titanium (nope, apparently not. I thought I had it backing up all user apps and system data). So, since I didn't have a proper Titanium back up, I reinstalled all the folders from my desktop back to my phone. In the past, when I have done this (long time ago, first phone I rooted, then when changing phones), the phone was restored exactly like it was before. This time, nope.. Several pictures still gone, SIM card wiped of all phone number data (have no idea how), call logs and text messages gone. APP data gone..
I used Disk Digger to find the missing photos and videos which have now become corrupted. (I am hoping to be able to restore them, we'll see). I also found my downloaded ringtones. They were fine.
So, then I start trying to restore my phone to how it was before, but nothing was working. I looked at the files I transferred and can see all the information is in there, but not loading correctly. I had my phone numbers backed up to Google, but even though I had them set to sync, none of the numbers I had on my SIM card were on the Google contacts list. Well, several factory resets and idiot moves later, I have managed to delete a system file or two by mistake. I can't even make a phone call at this point.
Here's what I need to find out:
I know I probably need to reflash the ROM. I want the ROM to remain stock 4.0.3, because I like it like that. I still have the All-in-One Kit and all it's associated files on my computer. Can I run the Vivid All-in-One again starting at a different step since it is already rooted? Can I just go to the "extras" menu and select Flash Factory RUU Zip, or should I do what I saw on this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836. I have Odin on my PC as well. Should I reinstall from there?
Once I have restored my ROM, is there anyway I can restore my phone to the state it was in Monday night before I screwed everything up. So sorry for the long post, but I figured the more details the better. I truly appreciate any advice. I know I have pulled some seriously stupid mess ups here and just need some help.
ETA:
I found I was backing up w /Titanium correctly, but forgot to mention after ES did whatever it did, my sd card was completely wiped as well. I did not move anything or format my SD card.. Apparently ES or whatever was wrong with my phone did. I had my Titanium set to back up to some cloud, but don't remember the settings.. (Again really, really stupid of me.)

No... Odin is for Samsung phones...
Yea you should RUU...
While your at it... Ditch CWM for TWRP... Even if you don't use recovery all that much...
The only way to put the phone back to where it was... Since you don't have a nandroid backup is to change the settings yourself...

Well, after 5 days of fighting, only after I put my business online for all to see, I found my back up from Titanium!! It had been moved to a subfolder of a subfolder that I had looked in multiple times before. Ran it and phone has been restored including system files. It's back running normally now!
Lessons learned:
Do not decide after vacation and after driving for several hours to move files on your phone. You will mess it up!
Only after you have written an overly long post will you figure out what you did and fix it and feel even dumber than before..
Many, many thanks.
BTW, I am a bigger fan of Titanum than ever before. I can't how perfectly it restored everything, down to what panels I had my different apps on.
