Having forced my phone to take JPY from Keis, using the registry hack, occasionally after turning off my phone, on the next restart, the phone vibrates at various points, with warnings that several different apps have had problems and have to close, and after this some apps just wont run when started manually either. If I remove the apps and reinstall, I still get the same problem. The only way I can get back to normality is to go into recovery and restore to factory settings and start my install again. Does anyone know why this is happening? My phone is rooted. I have tried fix permissions from Rom manager, but this has not helped.Its happened about 3 times now, Most times restarting has been fine.
I would like to try and install clock work mod so that I can at least backup, so if this happens again, I'm covered for the majority of the reinstall, but The Rom manager Clockwork recovery does not install on this rom ( so I believe, it does not appear anyway)
Does any one know if I am OK to install the Clockwork mod from here, that has been linked to in some of the custom rom threads, and if not, how can I get clockwork on my phone? If I do install clockwork, does this mean I can no longer install new roms with Keis?

I wasn't sure if to put this thread in the general section or development for a best response. Sorry If I have picked the wrong area, but thought it was people from the Dev section that would more understand what I need to do
Thanks
you have kinda almost the same problem as this guy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937938 (his reinstalling helped though)
yeah thanks, doesnt quite sound the same, I never got a black screen. Always boots, but reports various apps have problems and closes them down.
Well still I do think something is not right with the either JPY or the HW. Cuz it started few days/weeks ago. I was for 2 months a happy user. Then it was sudden with those FC... Factory Reset etc
Something about a conspiracy theory:
I kinda suspect that there was either a google apps update or samsung one, the kind that you dont see , like when it updates the market. And it messed something up .
Does anyone know how or have or think its possible to install a Galaxy s rom on the galaxy tab? I know that you need a custom kernel to make it work. Anyone have this or know how to write one?
Got as tutorial? I'll learn myself.
Anyways, out of boredom I flashed a gt-i9000 custom rom on my Tab, it gets to the custom boot screen and refuses to go any farther. Because of the kernal, first off, I know.
Any input or help would be awsome. The greater good of having the tab think it is a galaxy s is enticing. I already changed the build.prop into identifying it as a gt-i9000 on sites like gameloft. So now I can legally buy games for that device since it is basically the same device anyways, you gamers know what i'm talkin about.
Am also trying to figure out how to trick the build.prop into thinking it has different android system versions. To play games demanding 2.2, 2.3 3.0(a dream?) ect. Right now in my device settings it says I am running 3.0
In the past I turned my g2 into a 4g mytouch. So I know it is possible on some devices. But currently have pyromod upgraded to android 2.3 on it instead. Sorry off topic.
The kernel......
at a german forum, many users have testet with this.
but all of there are bricked the tabs
Mine didnt exactly brick. I got past all the samsung stuff. I had flashed a recovery before boot. It got stuck on the custom roms boot animation. All i did to revert is reboot in 3.0.2.4 cwr, and redo a different zip.
I am wanting to take a Verizon Galaxy Tab that I have rooted, installed Titanium backup, froze alot of apps, hidden a few with Launcher Pro, have a particular Wifi connection with password saved, and all system settings (screen timeout, disabled mobile data, etc) and somehow clone it to other tablets (400+). I have tried installing Clockwork Mod Recovery and backing up and restoring on others but the prep process for getting Clockwork Mod Recovery on tablet is too drawn out in order to do this large of a number of tablets. I read about the Roto Backup process and was able to backup the "master" tablet and restore on some of the others but on the initial boot, it is stuck in boot loop and I have to clear system and data to get it booting which wipes out all of the custom settings. I have read through all of the forums thoroughly before hand and really haven't seen a solution for this particular need I have. The best solution would be if I would be able to flash all of the tablets using Heimdall or Odin and not have to too much else after that. I apologize if I have somehow missed a solution posted already or if somehow I am missing something somewhere.
Thanks in advance.:
My suggestion would off been the cwm way, if you got 10sd cards all with the backup data on them you could do 10 at once, are you going to flash overcome on them all?
You could possibly cook a rom with.everything already set up and just flash that.

Hi, first of all, I am new to Android devices.
I am having a problem with my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S Captivate. Games and apps seems to be running slower than normal after updating to Gingerbread 2.3.5. I have rooted my phone with Odin3 v 1.85, but it's been running slow even before the root. (In fact, I rooted the phone so I could install a lagfix, but I can't find one for Captivate I897 running on 2.3.5).
Anyway, I don't see the reason for games and apps to be running slow because I've heard that the Captivate has a pretty good GPU. Also, it's not like I've overstocked my phone's storage; I only have a few apps.
I've also made a short video explaining my problem further. Just search "slow captivate" on youtube. I should be the first video: "Really Slow Samsung Galaxy S Captivate - Fix?"
I've searched everywhere for a fix, but I can't find anything, so I came here. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this, or at least reduce the lag?
Thanks in advance,

I was seeing my phone work slower and slower on 2.3.6, I suspected that the developers of the apps I used were starting to develop for ICS and that maybe it was different enough that the updates were causing the apps to misbehave on older versions. I flashed to ICS just to see... and it was a great move, ICS on the captivate flies!!! I used SlimICS, I think it is the right way to go for Galaxy S phones...

Have you run any tools to see what is sucking up your phone's resources?

No, I don't think I've checked that. What app do you recommend on checking that?

First of all, lagfix isn't really used anymore. Also, I would say to get rid of those task killing apps. They don't help and only add to your problems. A lot of the symptoms you encountered are pretty common, and I was expecting something much worse. You seem to be running a different kernel that allows overclock; which is it?
If all else fails, try ICS

Hey
I tried to upgrade to ICS with Team ICSSGS [Android 4.0.3]. I followed a step by step tutorial using CWM to load "ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_Captivate.zip" and installation seems to go well. But after I try to reboot my phone, the AT&T logo comes up, then the "Google" logo comes up, but it just stays stuck at the Google logo forever. ICS never starts up. I've tried removing the battery and then going back into CWM and restarting the process but the same thing keeps happening. What should I do?

You flashed it twice, correct? Try wiping your data.

Yeah, I've flashed it a few times. Each time, before I install it, I clear data/factory reset, clear cache, and davlik cache, but it's still just getting stuck at the "Google" boot screen. It's weird because every time, CWM says it installs successfully. I'm starting to think that the .zip I downloaded isn't so good...
Do you know of a good, stable version of ICS I could use instead? Maybe even the same one you're using?
Thanks

Maybe don't wipe dalvik cache. That can sometimes result in that happening

I gave up on ICS... I could not get it to work for the life of me and it was getting me extremely frustrated. I almost bricked my phone (I think).
Maybe I'll try it again if someone could link me to a detailed step-by-step tutorial to upgrading to ICS. I'm very new to the way android works and a lot of the tutorials are just plain confusing to me...
I ended up reverting back to GB 2.3.4.
Thanks for helping me out though.
Try reading some stickies, there are some great guides. There's also one in my sig.

GUIDE TO INSTALL ICS, my way at least
Hey if you're looking for a good guide to putting ICS on your captivate I can help, The first time i tried ICS i messed things up and angrily decided that i wouldn't try it again and reverted back to 2.3.5, after carefully trying ICS again i love it so much. I won't ever go back to android 2.whatever.
I used CM9 ICS and have no issues or bugs. It's possible there are other better ICS roms but i prefer this one since i know for a fact that it works great.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363760
You'll need to download CM9 v17 and a gapps package on your SD card.
trust me, ICS is worth it, it's much better than 2.3
if you have titanium backup backup your user apps (NOT SYSTEM APPS/SYSTEM DATA)
Rom installation:
First things first always do a nandroid backup so you can go back easier, if necessary.
once thats done go to CWM recovery and do a wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition. once that's done install the CM9 .zip package for the rom.
IT WILL STOP HALFWAY THROUGH AND REBOOT ITSELF, as this is the new kernel being installed. while it's still rebooting pull the battery and let it turn off, reboot straight into CWM recovery.
once this happens go back to install you CM9 .zip file again. it will finish all the installation after that. once it finishes the install you should definitely install the Gapps.zip. it will load up your google apps (market,gmail,youtube,etc and your google account sync) if you don't load the Gapps you will not have very much functionality to your captivate.
once you have your google apps installed you should be ready to fly with a fast responsive captivate. Hope this helps, it took a few trial and error runs before i figured it out.
If you used titanium backup to backup your apps you can restore APPS ONLY!!! don't restore any system data/system apps!!!! it's very important that you don't do that.
that should be it. enjoy your ICS, it's much better than android 2.blah
Fastness: CM7
Sexyness: CM9
That's the answer to everything.
I have run aokp (my current) and doc's master. Both have been great!
I'm far from an Android guru but if you follow the directions, you will be ok. Both also have relatively supportive forums if you get in a jam.

Hi, I flashed CM 10.2 on my Galaxy S4, and I used titanium backup to restore all my apps, only apps I didn't choose was TouchWiz and the TouchWiz simpler one. And it said I needed to reboot my device for the changes to apply, so I did that. When I rebooted it said everything stopped working. Even the core thing. Screen went black. Then I took out the battery and when I tried to go to my custom recovery, it just skipped the recovery screen and booted into cm again and same thing happened. Everything just stopped working. Help please. Also I am able to get into download mode. I just don't know how to recover from this. I am running 4.3.1 cm nightly, well I was. I don't know if I could count it was 4.3 I am still really new and I just want to reset my phone so I can actually use it. I hope I did not hard brick it. I'm on the verge of crying.
Try flashing it with something equivalent to Sony s ftf flashtool
