A question for any intellectual Android/Nook-addicts out there...
Basically, I've rooted my Nook HD+ (Numberous times now) and have experience rooting android devices in the past and have had no problems. I used the CWM method - installed universal root on factory stock (And afterwards, 2.1.0 stock just to see if it fixed the problem... it didn't) and extras (Tried not installing extras twice also, didn't make a difference)
Basically, I've learnt the hard way that eight resets on boot and the device hard-resets to factory stock. The first Root Bootup is fine (The bootup after removing the CWM sdc) and, after turning it off and on again, so is the second bootup... But the third one is where the problem occurs. I power on as normal, and the standard 'Nook' screen appears as it begins to boot...
It then proceeds to resetting itself eight times - never getting past the 'Nook' screen that appears at the start of every bootup, therefore causing a hard factory reset.
I've tried using the CWM recover method to the OS I used before rooting the nook originally, and there doesn't seem to be any problems if the device isn't rooted. I've also just let it update itself from factory version to current version - and it works fine with that also.
Perhaps this is common and I'm just a plain idiot. I honestly can't find any answers - so if it is common, sorry for wasting your time!
Thanks for your time!

Do you have some apps being automatically installed by Play Store? Sometime people have their settings set so that happens. Then a root app gets installed and makes some changes to /system and causes a reset. Go to Play Store and tell it not to automatically install or upgrade apps.`

No apps that automatically download that i can see. But you're likely onto something - I do install all the apps manually (No matter how menial) (Going through the list, hitting install for each of them) before manually logging into each one afterwards. I do use a few root apps - no ad-versions to avoid those annoying popups, Ultrabox, Superuser, Pimp my Android and Root Browser to name most, if not all of them.
I'm going to have to do things the awkward way now, installing each app, setting them to the setting I want for them, and seeing what happens. I have a mild suspicion it's a setting on Pimp my Android...
I'll let you know if I sort it. Thanks for the suggestion :cyclops:

Why are you installing superuser? It is already installed with the universal root. That may be it too.
Edit: And some of the apps I put on there are old on purpose. Like Root Browser. I have it set so that the free version is ad free. If you update it, the ad free goes away.

I am VERY sorry it's taken me so long to reply! Even though I've only just joined, I should have done it long before now.
I found the problem - it was 'Pimp my Android' app. I was experiencing something called 'boot loop' - so much for my research skills for such a common problem. I fiddled about with my usual settings - and found some that cause it to get stuck like that, even when they're set not to activate on startup!
Tis' all working now. Everything else seems to be just peachy! You were right, thanks for your help
I've successfully flashed and tried out several custom roms for the HTC Mini One 2 (Nostromo, CarbonRom, Cyanogen 12, gapps flashed using both arms and aroma) and have encountered one problem repeatedly: After restoring several installed apps (whatsapp, a few games, a dictionary and a translation app) they are all visible and working after the reboot. However, after rebooting again they all disappear from the trebuchet app list (which I really like, btw) along with a number of other apps. In addition, apps like google play force close the moment I open them.
Any ideas about how to rectify this problem?
PS: Quick props to Soenisti. I really like the look and feel of the Nostromo rom. It feels like the fastest of the roms I've tried so far.

Thanks for the quick reply. Do that religiously after flashing. Tried that and it didn't seem to work. Hmmm... might try it again when I have the phone.

#Normaly would be before the flashing.
If doesn't work a full flash /restore might be needed as something went wrong.
Hi there, i'm quite confused and desperate. I was on Computerfreaks stock rom for a while untill i decided i needed to change the flavor of my device a little bit and installed RR 6.0.
Sadly it came with a lot of bugs, one day it logged me out of my whatsapp account every hour and i had to do all the first-time setup again, so i grew tired of it and installed the flashable stock 6.0 rom zip.
Everything was good, but then when i tried to install whatsapp google play would tell me that it couldn't install, error code 504. It had nothing to do with the avaliable storage obviously so then i did the whole google account removal/ erasing cache, uninstalling, rebooting, etc. Nothing, the mistake keep going. I downloaded the apk directly, and when i tried to install it, it wouldn't pass the setup and just display "app cannot be installed" only gaving me the option to accept it.
This is when i realized it had to be a bigger problem, so i switched roms ro RR 7.1.2, i could install the app.....however it simply crashed at launch, and wouldn't even allow me to complete the initial setup. I've changed the DPI, governors, tried with beta versions and older versions of the app, and nothing. I've tried with AOSP extended, Kang, and the roms mentioned above without success.
It's funny thought, every other app works wonderfully, it just this annoying thing that i actually need to use, that refuses to install.
In twrp i've wiped everything. System, Data, internal storage, dalvik, cache.
I've tried using another google account.
I just don't know what else to do.
Fun fact, i've also tried to see if this was the app's fault and just for the lolz i've installed it on my tablet.....it worked at the first installation like a charm.

I'm sorry you are having issues, but it has nothing to do with the ROMs you have used. How are you restoring data when you flash the new ROMs, if you are restoring data? Are you using Titanium Backup?
My wife and I are on RR 6.x and we both have and use What's App. Nothing is wrong with it. It doesn't log us out "every hour" -- never logs us out.
RR 6.x doesn't have "a lot of bugs" -- in fact it's rock stable and that's why I've stuck with it instead of going to Nougat ROMs. And because of xposed modules, which I am loathe to give up just yet.
Considering LOTS of people use What's App on all the ROMs you mentioned -- including my personal experience with two XT1225 on RR 6.X -- it's not the ROMs at fault in any way.
I know it's not the ROMs fault, I've ruled that out since I've changed 5 times of rom and it keeps failing. Yet I don't know what I should do to solve this problem. I'm not restoring any data, I've done a full clean install everytime, no xposed, even no root sometimes.
Hello again XDA!
So this has become much more frustrating that I thought it would. My phone normally operates fine, just a couple minor software issues here and there, latest issue being my alarm not going off, tried disabling amplify in xposed as the issue only occurs if the phone has been idle for the night, figured maybe amplify might be blocking the wakelock or something. Just thought I'd share in case the module could be the root cause of both issues.
The issue I'd really like to ask about has to do with booting. As I said, the phone generally runs fine, but any time I reboot(or my phone dies) I have to wipe the dalvik in TWRP or else android just hangs on bootup indefinitely. Not only is this always a slow process(generally 15 mins of downtime) but it drains about 30% battery in the process. Just wondering if anyone has had this issue and fixed it without wiping and reinstalling a rom from the ground up.
Currently running latest ICE Lollipop build 7.1.3, elementalX 22.4-sense kernel, and latest firmware, 4.19 I believe. Xposed running with just a handful of modules (greenify, snapprefs, xblast, youtube adaway, sense toolbox). I have tried using stock kernel and uninstalling xposed framework and apk to no avail. What does work is a clean install of the same rom with the same basic setup, but I didn't want to have to reconfigure everything if I didn't have to, so I restored my backup in the meantime.
I can't get a logcat ATM, maybe tomorrow after work if I have some time. I'm also not 100% sure how to grab one anymore since its been years since I last posted one, but would be happy to provide one soon.
cheers!
What I did:
- Wipe all (clean install).
- Flash latest Official MoKee ROM (Nougat).
- Flash latest GApps.
- Flash latest Magisk.
- Reboot.
After finished the Wizard Setup and before doing anything, my phone got very laggy, open menu, open Settings, etc.
Then I clean install again like the steps above, but this time using SuperSU, and everything normal, so I stick with SuperSU for now.
My questions, what is the cause of the lags? Is it known bug in Magisk, the ROM itself (not compatible), or GApps? I also heard ResurrectionRemix had the same problem after installing Magisk, so many people revert back to SuperSU.
Thanks,
I have Resurrectionremix and Magisk 14.3
No any lag on my phone.

You need to list what modules you're using.

I only flash the ROM, GApps and Magisk without any additional flashable ZIPs.
Honestly that doesn't sound like Magisk. I've ran Magisk on literally probably 20 ROMs between Angler and Pixel XL and never Magisk caused lag... Did u try a different rom? Just curious, or maybe it's some incompatibility with that specific rom and magisk

I tried several ROMs that based on LOS and all same, maybe it's caused by LOS base that used in those ROMs. And since you say so, probably it's not an issue in Magisk, but the ROM itself.
I'll try Magisk again later when some ROM's builds available for my device.

I think my questions has been answered (it's appear not issue in Magisk side) and this thread can be closed.

Ya I was gonna say cause I use all AOSP and CAF based
I had this issue with Lineage 14.1 and AEX before.
Now I don't have this issue anymore.
What I do is:
- Wipe everything
- Install ROM
- Install GApps
- Reboot and finish Setup Wizard (then I install some or all apps that I use)
- Reboot to TWRP and flash Magisk.
The first time I reboot after flashing Magisk it's still a little slower than normal. Then I reboot one more time and never faced this anymore.
Now I do this everytime I make a clean install and everytime it works.

So don't flash Magisk along with the ROM?
Instead finish Wizard Setup first and back to TWRP to flash Magisk. I'll try this if the issue still persist. Many Thanks

Yes.
Try it and let me know if this also fix the problem for you.
Yes, Magisk is the thing that's causing lag and stutter. My Nexus 5X is also barely responding to any commands if I flash Magisk right after a ROM clean installation. If you flash only the ROM, then you can finish setting up the device without much stutter or hiccups in performance.
If, after a clean installation (or after installing Magisk - didn't try this though) you use the phone without Magisk for a bit, maybe install some apps, etc, you'll see that everything is nice and smooth.
Now, you can check the smoothness without Magisk and with Magisk installed like this:
- Without Magisk: Update 'Google App' to the latest version then try to open the side panel from the latest Pixel Launcher. You'll see that opening/closing it is nice and smooth, and scrolling up and down is also smooth.
- With Magisk installed (without using any modules): The moment the phone turns on, at first, things might seem OK. First wait for the phone to settle down after the reboot for a few minutes. Then try opening the side panel. You'll see some stutter while dragging that panel to the right, maybe not huge, but it's there. Scrolling up and down is also stuttery. At first I thought it was because of the latest version of Google App, or the new cards design, or even the images in there, but that wasn't the issue. Then I thought maybe the launcher was somehow influencing Google App's performance, but that wasn't either the issue.
AND it was like I completely forgot about SuperSU and didn't even think of trying it in order to see how things were.
I even rebased my ROM in the hope that I'd find the culprit, and still nothing. Nothing weird appeared in any logs, which was so annoying. And a few hours ago, after finishing up cleaning up my sources (for other reasons), I compiled a fresh new build, and it crossed my mind to try SuperSU, just for the hell of it, and BOOM ! No more lag and stutter. The phone is snappy and responsive again.
I'll try to contact the dude behind Magisk and see what he has to say, or leave a comment in his thread.
The thing is, those with more recent phones, like the Pixels or any other phones than are more powerful than mine, might not notice what I described above, but there should be some stutter there, no matter how small, maybe in other scenarios as well.
The thing is, Magisk kinda slowly took the place of Xposed, at least that's what it looks like to me, and I personally don't like that but that's how things are, I suppose. All those modules or at least one of them WILL cause issues sooner or later, just like on Xposed.
But in the end, yes, it's Magisk what's destroying your phone's performance and nothing else. So if you're not really in the need to have your phone pass SafetyNet, and want to have your phone snappy and lag-free, use SuperSU, at least until things get better on Magisk.

I'm glad I'm not the only one experienced this issue, that's mean it's not entirely user fault. Maybe you're right, on more high-spec phones they won't really notice the lags/stutters.
Looking forward to the news/updates regarding this issue.

I don't mean to necrobump, but did it work? I have an LG G4 (H815) and suffered the same issue. Like you, I only flashed magisk right after flashing the ROM (LG nougat).

I haven't got the chance to try it.
Currently I'm using SuperSU to root my device.
I tried installing magisk on my currently in use ROM, i.e., a long time after flashing it, and although it got less laggy, there still was a heavy lag impact in some applications. Maybe it has less impact on lineage or on lighter ROMs? I'm using official LG nougat.
I'm using Mi 6 in Xiaomi.eu rom
YES, magisk causing laggy.
Same here
Mi5, tested on MIUI 9 and 10
Without Magisk everything was great and after flashing Magisk, the phone got laggy!
I have the same problem with my LG G6
interesting, first I thought that emmc will be broken. because the problem is the same (lag). but after i replace emmc, all back is fine. I just think emmc is broken because it is often flashing rom.

what magisk version 16.0 or beta? magisk can't make the phone lag but kernel or something in ROM may interrupt try to change kernel or flash the lastest Gapps
