Okay I have this problem in JB TW based ROMs I have tried (SweetROM, ULTIMATE, SuperBean) that whenever an app is gonna force close, the phone soft reboots without the popup "unfortunately, blah blah blah has stopped...". Is this a known issue or I'm the only one facing this? Thanks
try a later build of the ROM in which this particular problem may have been solved. These problems are quite common with the primitive versions of a ROM when it's in the development stages. Try sending PM to the ROM developer if you have such problems.
Like Varad said, make sure to also perform a clean install before you flash a ROM. This includes wiping system, preload, cache, dalvik cache, factory reset.
Always make a backup too.

Hi, im having problem with my o2x. Frirst phone started to behave strangely and every application has stop working. Error was
"uids on the system are inconsistent you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable"
and then every time i restarted the phone it was the same error again so i decided to reinstall rom. Than error was gone but other problem appeared, now after 3 min of use phone get frozen and than i reinstall rom again and phone get frozen agan.
Please if someone can tell me what is the problem and how can i fix them.
You have mentioned reinstalling (reflashing?) the ROM but you haven't mentioned a factory reset so I have to ask... Have you tried a factory reset?
Should i do factory reset on rooted phone? if yes how can i do that. I read somewhere that factory reset should not be done on rooted phones. is that true?
In CWM, You always have to Wipe your Data,Cache,Dalvik Cache,Battery stats.
Optional : Format System.
For a rom to function well, else it will get all kind of problems, like you have.
Of course if you install a update for a ROM, you only have to wipe the cache/Dalvik Cache.
Remember to make a Backup of your apps with Titanium Backup.
I didnt wipe Dalvik Cache and Battery stats. I'll give it a try. What does Format System do?
The factory reset basically resets your phone to as it came from the factory. It erases all your settings and apps, and is recommended that you do that when you change from a stock ROM to a custom ROM.
Having root has nothing to do with it.
Me personally I like backing up my apps and doing a factory reset each time I change/update my ROM. This way I make sure I always have a clean system each time. Of course this might not be convenient if you like flashing a new ROM twice a week
Wipeing Dalvik Cache, Battery stats and factory reset didnt do the trick. I flashed cyanogenmode nightly now and its ok for now. Could it be problem with the rom?
"Factory reset" (/data wipe) doesn't wipe system apps. If you had on your old ROM some "broken" system app, you most likely still have it. First thing i would do is full device wipe (/data and /system partition wipe). If you dont know how to do this here is the script and how-to. Be aware of that this script can brick your phone (ofc then you can fix it with smartflash) is you won't follow instructions.
After that wipe and ofc flashing clean ROM (btw. which is it?), it still isn't working, it's most likely ROM's fault. It could be Baseband<->RIL problem eaither but i've never saw RIL problem which has influence of system stability.
Are you flashing back to stock or a custom ROM?
If you are flashing to a custom ROM, you need do all the wipe-steps and then do BacktoEXT3 before flashing the custom ROM,

Hello , i have a problem that started happening after I installed KD1 modem, i'm running Slim ICS 3.2 mnics-143 kernel ... I try to send SMS and always says sending failed... I tried installing stock modems like JVU , JVT but still same error happens ... Anyone with some experience that can help?
tyvm...
Have you tried clearing the data from the sms app? (This may delete your messages, use sms backup and restore to back them up)
You should have made a nandroid backup before flashing the modem, do this next time so you have a easy way to revert...
If the above does not work then you may have to reflash the rom...
First try clear cache and dalvik and see if that works if you haven't already. And if that doesn't then do the following,
Make a nandroid and back it up on your computer (just to be extra safe).
Flash with no wipe but this has caused further problems for me before where i started getting multiple apps force closing. At a slim possibility it may cause a boot loop. If any of this happens, then just do a wipe and flash, wipe cache and dalvik before flashing. (You may have to flash the rom twice (Not very likely).
I'we tried that reverted back to GB and still i cant send sms... anyone with any hint on why or what? i can receive sms no problem but fail to send em..
ahh i now see message centre not set think that is the issue ...
Whenever I receive a call or try to make a call the phone freezes and ultimately crashes. I can hear sound of the person after a minute or so freezing. This doesn't happen at every call, like 8/10 times it will FC. This has made it impossible to use the phone.
The following message appears everytime it crashes:
The process com.android.phone is not responding. Would you like to close it?

If I am in contacts com.android.contacts crashes.
I have tried clearing the phone application cache but it doesn't help.
I am running Slim ICS (4.2) with no mod or anything installed. Its completely clean. I have tried CM9, AOKP on my phone and my brother's galaxy S. All have the same problem on both the phones.
Here is some info about the phone:
Baseband version: I9000XXJVT
Kernel version : [email protected] #` Wed May 23
Build number: 4.2
Mod Version: Slim_ICS_4.0.4
I am using this phone in India if it matters.
What can I do to fix this problem?
EDIT: I update my baseband to XXJVU. Didn't help. What now?
Have you tried clearing cache in recovery and all that jazz? Be sure to do a backup while in recovery before you do!!
Yes, I cleared all kinds of cache before installing.
I did wipe data/ factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache.

This is guess work but maybe a different kernel would help, try out this Semaphore kernel and just flash it in recovery.
What is this kernel? Semaphore ICS 1.2.6s
The Semaphore kernel project is in a lot more detail here and here.
The problem was due to faulty proximity sensor. I had to install MIUI ROM to disable it. Its the only ROM that has the option of disabling it.
I was able to disable the driver of proximity sensor (GPA2) using hardware disabler app but the phone was too slow hence MIUI.
hi i recently just rooted and flashed the dark raider rom on my vivid with being s-off. the problem im having is my phone keeps force closing every 2 seconds! is there a fix? or am i screwed i cant even set an apn due to it force closing so fast please help thanks!!!!!!
Try and reflash the Rom , the flash the kernel and make sure to do all the wipes.
Should fix it.
Yep, bad flash. You MUST do the two wipes (cache and dalvik cache).
If you're moving from a different ROM, you really should do a FULL wipe (system, data, boot). It really does make a difference.

Which kernel do you have installed?
Hi,
I've been using galaxy tab 8.9 with custom ROMs for more than a year and a half now, and sometimes it was acting strange, like flickering dialogs and crashes. Usually this meant an unstable ROM or just cache wasn't cleared when a new ROM was installed. And it was stable for some time, till I did a reset. Now no ROM is stable any more in addition to this, the battery sometimes says it is empty, but after restart it is back to normal status. I tried number of ROMs without luck, all are flickering lately which must mean it is not ROMs fault.
I am running out of ideas what to do with this tablet, so I'm asking if you guys have any suggestions, what else can I do to fix it.
NOTE: when installing a new ROM, I always did it with CWM recovery from internal storage with data, cache, dalvik wipe and factory reset.
regards, Daniel

Do you ever wipe the system partition?

Agree. In TWRP, a factory reset only wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. You have to manually format system. A clean install requires to wipe system, data, cache and dalvik-cache.

Try flashing the original firmware via odin.

Flashing original firmware would be my last resort. Is there any difference between odin and CWM flashing?

Of course. Flashing original firmware via odin brings back the original setup that came with the tab out of the box. I just don't remember if it will delete the contents of internal sd card. In any case, you can flash original firmware thru CWM as I always do, though I only flash boot and system images I modified in Kitchen. It will still be stock but only that it has been debloated, rooted, busybox installed, init.d enabled, and some system apps replaced.
Just remember that when flashing ROMs via CWM do a factory reset (wipe data, cache, dalvik-cache). In addition to the wipe, the rom.zip itself formats the system partition prior to flashing.
