After some time with CM 10.1, which started to crash and reboot randomly from time to time, I decided to revert to CM7. I flashed completely new stock rom, flashed the recovery and then CM7, the latest nightly, and then I flashed Gapps. But every app that is Google-related is working suprisingly slow. Play Store takes like one minute time to start and Youtube, which is not even included in gapps pckage, is not even launching until my screen goes off which means that it takes at least two minutes for the apps to show me my subscriptions.
But on JB everything seems to work just fine, except random reboots here and there. I tried to reflash the whole ROM, reflash gapps a few times and nothing seems to work. Any suggestions? Maybe there is a way for the phone to mimic JB and then everything will be fine? Or is it gapps' fault? Maybe I downloaded wrong package [but it was signed gapps-gb, so...]?

how about downloading play store(com-vending.apk) n then manually downloading the required gapps! also u can place them in system\apps.
Usually GB should be faster than JB/ICS on our ACE. It should be a problem of your rom or of the gapps-package

I'm running Aosp's Gingerbread Alpha on my Hero, but I haven't been able to get any of Cyanogen's gapps files to install. Every time I reboot after installing a gapps pack I go straight to boot-looping. The phone works fine though without any gapps installed though.
I'm thinking that one of the many apps in gapps isn't compatible, and causing the reboot. I have a backed up copy of my Vending-2.apk, but nothing else. When I go to open market, it immediately closes -- probably because it never presents me with a TOS screen.
What other apks do I need to make *just* Market work?
I could not get the market to load with the 10/25 gapps.. I used the 10/20 gapps and everything loaded no problem...

Weird! For me, the 12/25 gapps were the only ones that wouldn't cause a continuous reboot cycle. I installed them after I'd already booted into Gingerbread once, per the instructions.
I like having a clan system, so I was happy to see that Titanium Backup was on there and would let me remove unwanted gapps in "Chuck Norris Mode"

I'm been playing with ICS Roms on my captivate for the past few days (Team ICSSGS and Dark Knight ICS) and for a while, everything works perfectly. Installs fine, smooth, but after a while of customizing and installing apps, the phone starts going to hell.
I start to get all these force closes, app's don't open and then when I reboot the phone, it just doesn't go past the boot animation. (remember this is post install) I've wiped user data/installed other roms and I'm still having the problem.
I'm also experiencing these bugs which may or may not be related:
- Market/Play Store only allows me to download one app after a time. If I try to install more than one, I get a "Invalid package file" error.
- I get a message in the notification area that says I have low space (which isn't true)
- Also, when I was playing Modern Combat 2, all of these things in the background started force closing. Some were apps (widgets, gtalk, etc.), most others were background processes.
I understand this all alpha/beta builds, so bugs should happen, but I haven't seen anyone else report it. (unless I missed it....went through more than 50 pages)
Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong.
FYI, was coming from Serendipity Froyo Rom. I used GB bootloaders from here:

It seems you are restoring alot of apps. If you restore data it could cause funky behavior, specially if it's froyo data. If it isn't data then few apps are causing you issue.

I'm just installing apps from the Android Market....the last time I only had a few installed and still the same problem.
Don't install the game you mentioned. And try again from fresh. I've used ICSSGS, CM9 and many flavors of AOKP never had any issues.

This happened to me earlier. Uninstall/move apps to sd until the low space notification goes away. After this, reboot. Then, everything should work fine.
I just made the leap from the latest stock AT&T ROM to the latest Holics ROM. I'm really liking it so far... everything is working really smoothly, with two exceptions. Google+ and Google Keep do not work. Google+ simply will not open and freezes my phone for several seconds. Google Keep opens and immediately closes with the error "Google Play Services are not available". These are the only 2 apps that appear to be affected. I have done the following...
Cleared data from both apps
Uninstalled and re-installed both apps
Cleared data from Google Play Services
Uninstalled and re-installed Google Play Services <--- I don't recommend this step to anyone. It completely screwed all my Google apps.
Factory reset
Re-flashed the ROM - Step-by-step to make sure I did it right
Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

I have no problem here (not holics rom) Maybe try a different ROM?
Resolved - Sort of...
I discovered that the problem was not present when I would initially flash the ROM. I could install all kinds of apps and make all kinds of tweaks and changes. It wasn't until I powered off the phone AND pulled the battery that the problem would present itself.
Here's the kicker. What I found was if I simply went in and uninstalled the updates from Google Play and then opened Google Play and let it re-install the latest update the problem would go away.
So, while it's not a resolution per se... it is an easy 5 minute work around. The phone works perfectly as long as I don't pull the battery. I've tested this work around 3 times and every time the problem went away.
At least now I won't have to worry about flashing another ROM until the call volume issues with the Jelly Bean ROMs gets resolved.
:good:
same problem, resolution not working

I tried your trick, after the 3rd time it work for me. This problem also affects the YouTube and Foursquare apps as far as I can tell.
However the problem returns each time the phone is restarted. Is there any other permanent fixs? Any similar ROM suggestions? (S-ON HTC Vivid)
You've had a bad flash. Wipe all partitions and start fresh. This happened to me before as well. Only way to fix it was to wipe all partitions and reflash

Same here. Been running Banancakes ROM for over a year, and loving every minute of it... But this issue with Google Keep is driving me up the walls. Thanks for your workaround, it saves the day for now, but this is one annoying bug. I don't use YouTube so wouldn't know, but I'll give it a look see to find out if the same applies.

I had this same issue with keep and google plus using codefire desensed Rom on my vivid. I was able to fix it by wiping everything and reflashing the Rom but I also flashed ics gapps right away after. Don't know if that was necessary or not but now I no longer get that play services error. Also my play store app updated automatically to 4.0 right away where before it did not update.
Just a thought, but reflashing fixed my issue.

I'll probably give it another try, but I flashed it again recently and did exactly that : full wipe, gapps right away and I have the same issue as OP. I did restore a bunch of stuff via TB, so maybe that's where I screwed up...
Hey all
I've had my vivid for a while, I'm running CM10 with sultan kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39590429). The other day I rebooted my phone and it took longer to boot than usual, it randomly reset itself and I lost everything (luckily I had a backup ). for some reason the kernel had downgraded itself, went from beta 14 to beta 12. I restored it from my backup but then it kept resetting itself, all the while I stayed on beta 12. Now I've decided to start a fresh, reinstalled CM10 to find that its not installing google play, another weird thing is that my kernel wont change, it stays as beta 12 even after following the instructions fully to upgrade. I need the newer kernel because it has some fixes I need. Also I need ideas as to why google play isn't installing. Any help/ideas are appreciated
Thanks in advance

The disappearing apps is because of a problem with sultan kernel... it seems to corrupt the file system if you reboot at a certain time... I have no idea what causes it to corrupt
The play store problem is from you doing a full wipe without installing GAPPS...
Sent from my Vivid 4G using Tapatalk 2
Really? I didn't think CM10 needed gapps. I just tried a standalone install of play store 4.0.26 and it installed, but it just crashes when I try open it
That's cause you need other files from GAPPS for it to work
And the play store MUST be a system app
Sent from my Vivid 4G using Tapatalk 2
ok thanks, will try that
Trust rignfool he knows what he's talking about lol. And yes you do need gapps for cm10. The only problem with cm10 that I have is very poor in call volume. Since I'm speaking of it. @ rignfool do you know a fix for that? (very low in call volume)

Hey all, I recently followed all the guides on here to update my TP. Was runningn CM9 for over a year, and needed a change. Decided on Jcsullins snapshot, cm-10.1-20131210-SNAPSHOT-VPN-tenderloin.zip, as I need bluetooth and camera to work, and also wanted low battery drain. Did a complete acme uninstall of android, repartitioned system to 600mb, and then used tptoolbox to install.
Now, the rom was very smooth through setup. However, after I started installing apps, about 30, it became very sluggish. pressing the home button I would have to wait about 10 seconds for it to actually go home. Apps would take 10 seconds to startup. Web/facebook scrolling was horribly choppy. Interesting though, if I rebooted, the tablet would run very smooth for the first few minutes. Only after that did it start to become slow.
So I decided to reflash the rom. Did a full wipe in CWM, and reinstalled. Again, tablet was running fine. I decided to only install a few apps this time, about 6, and everything seemed fine. But after a few minutes again, it got sluggish.
I'm wondering if maybe using tptoolbox messed something up? From everything I read about that rom, nobody has any problems with it being slow.
Also, I don't really want a heavily modified rom, which is why I haven't tried the Schizoid rom. I would like to stay at 10.1 for stability. I see the official CM nightlies here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290346
However, there are no download links to that rom, the link goes to the 10.2 download page. I didn't really want to get into a DM rom at this point. And it seems that bluetooth isn't working on that rom? Am I correct in saying that besides Schizoid, jcsullins 10.1 is the only 10.1 with bluetooth fully working?
Hum, got the same problem 1 year ago, my cm partition at the time was full, Using the TP Toolbox, try to give some space to the cm partition sacrificing some from the shared partition. There are more than 1 cm named partition, i don't remember exactly which one at the time was the faulty. Maybe it was the media partition.

You can check the size of your partitions by typing "df" without quotes into terminal emulator.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the suggestions. I checked the partitions, and they are all good. I ended up reflashing a third time, and I've been running it for two days, and it's been fine 90% of the time. A few slow downs, but nothing like before.
However I do have another problem, and I don't know if it's rom related or not. I have an HP slim bluetooth keyboard that paired successfully with the tablet. Works perfectly, except if I leave the tablet unattended for about 15 minutes or so, it doesn't work. I'm fairly sure the keyboard itself is going to sleep. However, when I wake it and the tablet up, the tablet freezes completely. Tonight it even rebooted itself twice. Once was on it's own after I tried to wake the keyboard up by pressing a few buttons. The other I turned the keyboard off and back on, and when it was connected the tablet rebooted.
Seem related to a rom problem with drivers support for bluetooth accessory. If it was working before with the same roms, try to reflash it, otherwise, try another roms or early/newly build.
