Ok newbie here. - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry tried to post this on the related forum page but was told could only enter it here.
Right..
I have flashed ICS 333 rom 1.1/2.0/2.01 to my I9000 every thing is great until when I exit out of some apps it causes gapps to crash. This obviously diasbles Navigation, Gmail Chrome etc basically anything to do with google.
No problem I'll reboot....I reboot and it just hangs and cycles the multi coloured tile boot sequence, I have tried everything cleared all types of caches, Devlik and re-flashed the gaps zip all with no result. I have to each time basically re-flash the rom and it sorts itself. But its a real pain in the ass, I have done this four/five times on all three versions now.
To me the gaps has a fault and its not the rom, I really hammer the google tools basically I use evertything that google provides for android, so it makes me wonder if it one of the apps thats killing it, I have looked at the logs but nothing stands out.
Kernel is Semaphore 3.0.8 ICS 1.2.2s
Build: IMML76L ICS333-2.0.1
Baseband: I900XXJVU
Network: 3UK
Usage: Heavy multiple applications and syncs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is starting to test my patience.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried fixing permissions?

Thanks for the reply.
Yeah did that on the recovery but that did nothing seemingly.
It basically mid process says that gapps has stop unexpectedly. The phone continues to work normally but without gapps. If I reboot it hangs.

I've read others say that this usually is due to an incomplete wipe. Old apps or information conflicting with new. You could try clearing data on gmail, etc but you may need to wipe completely and reflash

Thanks for reply.
I have wiped totally... 4 times. Perhaps sd card apps? Surely not. I'll have a look in there to double check.

Maybe you are trying to use wrong Gapps version? PS. My dad served with gurkhas in Burma in WW2
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Thanks for reply.
Its the gapps that is recommended by the dev on each version. So other people should be getting it.
As for Gurkhas, my Great grandad a high ranked commando also served with them as part of a small detachment of men working behind Japanese lines disrupting supplies. He had huge admiration for their loyalty and fearlessness in the face of danger. So for that my online name has always been Gurkha to remind people of that.

why don't you try another set of gapps? check this out http://goo.im/gapps/ oh, and also wipe everything except sd card, this means factory reset! and use titanium backup to backup everything including data. dont forget to hit thanks if you find this helpful!

isn't the solution there in ICS333 FAQ?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

Hi thanks for the replies
Do you refer to point 6 of the faq and the partition being full?
On all my re flashes I have basically wiped the phone dead inc partition, davlik battery stats anything that I thought might be causing this error. This also refers to all apps I'm just talking about Google related because it only seems to impact them.
Thanks

Do full wipe befoure installing rom and gapps then after installing gapps again wipe cache and factory reset .From recovery flash datafix it will solve the problem i think for your rom
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

i have the same problem

Thanks for reply.
I will try that datafix flash if it happens again. Only just reloaded everything back on so not doing it again until I have to but thanks.
I will report any findings.
Thanks to all again.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

Happened again.
This time
Cleared davlik and cache
flashed google apps
Then flashed data fix
Without doing a wipe.
Works fine everything back without stopping.
Thanks for help
Will report any further issues.

Just rooted, Now what?

This is the first time I have ever been near or used an Android phone. I got my i9000 a few days ago and have started messing about with widgets etc. I have been reading this forum for a few months prior to owning an Android phone as technology interests me. I was following a home screen thread and realized I had to root my Galaxy S to be able to take screenshots. Then I found the One Click Lag Fix app that was on the Android market. The lag was something that was really bothering me and now its running really smooth.
So now I have root what else should I do to my phone?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
A couple apps I use that need root access: mybackup pro and root explorer.
Have fun
I'll be sure to check them out. Anyone else?

Flash roms, overclock cpu, clear app caches. Modify system apps (eg make browser fullscreen).
Anything really.
Clocksync - if cell-network time sync sucks.
MarketAccess - if you can't purchase apps on market
Autokiller or Minfree manager - to keep memory tidy (less necessary on the most recent firmwares)
Screenshot - should be obvious.

how to update to new marketplace using cm7 rc1

I can't seem to find a thread detailing how to do this..
Doesn't it just come with the tiny gapps that you're supposed to flash alongside cm?
Or is there a newer market that I am unaware about?
The one that comes with cm7 rc1 nightly 3 is 2.2.11
It happens by itself.
Since installing cm7 the normal marketplace doesn't work

This.
There seem to be a lot of small screwy things related to the google applications on Gingerbread-based ROMs. Best shot for getting everything working correctly is to do a full wipe and reflash. I know I had to do that to get GTalk working.
What about the not so easy answer?

Let me know if you figure one out. I spent about two weeks trying all sorts of off-the-wall stuff to get around having to wipe to get GTalk to work. As soon as I wiped (as I should have in the first place) it worked without a hitch.
It should auto update, at least for me it did.
If not go here

I flashed CM7 RC1 and I automatically got updated to 2.3.2.
Just give it time. It'll happen. Market updates by itself without user intervention.

It seems to be half working now but I can't look ay my downloaded apps list without it crashing. All other apps are fine

Have you tried clearing the Market app's cache and data?
Clear Market data in "system / applications / manage".

No joy. I'll go for the wipe later on

Thank you very much for your response, but the problem is I can't access the market to get rom manager to flash the rom.... or get recovery. Again I'm extremely noob (not to android) but the nook color in general. So what's up with this 8 fails attempts n stuff? I just don't fully understand how to get into recovery...

Unknown app?

I have a problem and need help to resolve this. Ok there is a Japanese language app that keeps popping up on milestone. It will show up most of the time overnight and will be in my status bar and don't have a clue what it says? Sometimes the pic of a Oriental girl when I click on the notification I have ran anti virus, malware, spyware programs that never help if I click on anything it starts downloading something that is impossible to stop! Help please

I would back-up all my stuff, do a full wipe and install a fresh rom.
But if you dont want to do that, you should try to install Titanium Backup and remove all suspicious app.
You have encountered a virus it is a rare virus and Google has fixed on gingerbread but all it does is fill up your memory and pop up annoying adds sorry but a full system whipe may be your only choice

First try. Issue with kk's 2012-11-11 JB ROM

Hi all,
My first post, and as of yesterday my first custom ROM. Despite some sweaty moments it worked fine thanks to the guidance on this forum and some leaps of faith Can't reply to the relevant thread directly since I'm n00b.
Was very happy with this, however one killer issue that's meant I've had to revert to stock is that Google Talk (installed via GApps link with the ROM) crashes to desktop (no FC dialog) when i attempt to use voice or video within it. Skype seems to work fine though. Anyone else experienced this? I haven't seen it previously reported on here which makes me think maybe I didn't clear something properly (I used cwm recovery 5.5.0.4 to wipe cache, factory reset and clear dalvik prior to flash). I tried repeating the entire upgrade twice from scratch but same issue is still apparent.
Thanks for the coolness and hopeful for some help and further development.

Hey.
You're not the only one. I have the same issue with Google Talk. I, like you, thought that I wasn't installing something right. I even went as far as using an outdated gapps package, namely 20120726, to no avail. If you've gotten help with this, please let me know. Otherwise, I have no idea what else to do. I don't want to revert to stock because, quite frankly, its terrible. Also, to anyone else reading this, any help would be appreciated.
Try uninstalling talk after you've flashed the Rom and then reinstalling it. Had a similar problem with Google search.

I just checked the tablet and i dont see an option for uninstalling the app. just force close and disable. I also checked the play store to try and download the app, but i dont see it in there. maybe i'm missing something? like i said before, any help would be appreciated.
I'm not familiar with Google talk, is it the same as voice. To uninstall you'll need tibu or something like that.
I did find talk to chat in the play store which maybe the same thing you're talking about

Hey, I just want to thank you for your response. Its been a big help. Unfortunately, google talk isn't the same as voice. Its the chat client that is found in gmail and stuff. They just have a separate app for it on android devices. I think i may just use skype to video chat since i can't seem to find a fix for this and I can't bring myself to go back to the stock rom. If anyone happens to find a fix or knows of one, please let us know. Thanks.

gtalk doesn't work
My first ROM as well and facing the same problem with GTalk. Skype & Hangout on Google+ works fine. I was also wondering probably i missed a step.
But this ROM is so awesome don't want to restore. Other problems I am facing is that USB is not getting recognized on tablet and 3G not working. Any of you facing similar problem with 3G and USB?

As far as 3G, my tablet is the WiFi only, so I can't help you there.
With the usb, have you tried turning on the MTP setting? When you connect the tablet, go to settings>storage> and in the upper right hand side of the screen, if you press on the 3 dot things, you are going to see USB computer connection. press that and you will see the option to turn on MTP. I hope this helps.
Thanks for the replies, glad to know I'm not alone with g talk. Finally got stock ics ota but it's terrible! Prime example is Swype keyboard often appears the size of a credit card. Going back to cm as soon as talk fixed also had the USB issue but didn't try the workaround
