[Q] All apps suddenly disappeared, why?

I'm using Juwe's ROM 5.3 and had converted the filesystem to EXT4 using the EXT4-tool. A few days ago I converted back to RFS and then all my installed apps disappeared, only the ones that were pre-installed with the ROM remained. Thinking it was an error with the conversion I flashed a WIPE-version of the new ROM and another kernel (Talondev 4.3).
Today while downloading a file and having the phone locked the same thing happened again. The phone didn't even reboot but all installed apps AND some of the pre-installed (like Market) are gone. I can see some of them in the apps-list but when I try to run any I get an error message saying "Application is not installed on the phone". This time I had not converted to EXT4 and Voodoo was disabled.
I can wipe everything and install again. But how do I avoid this from happening again?

ask juwe =)

/system r/w mount, CarHomeGoogle

Hello everybody,
I have this issue with my phone, was looking how to fix it, but could not find anything that works.
So i have LG optimus 2x, it's rooted, tried many custom roms and kernels, at the moment i'm with some tweaked CM9 super nova rom and horse power kernel.
So the problem is that i can not mount r/w my /system. I can format it with CWM but none of file managers or even terminal works when i'm trying to remove some files from /system directory. The thing is that i have problem with Car Home app. It pops up randomly, for example if someone calls me, then it pops up and speaker turns on, or just in daily use. It is very annoying.
When i'm flashing rom with gapps included, there are 2 apk files in my system, CarHomeGoogle and CarHomeLauncher witch i'm trying to remove but still failed. But if i'm istalling rom without gapps or for example not full packed (without car home) it still pops up but not the full app but only the icon in my bottom bar (where clock, battery, notifications etc.). I don't understand how the hell that app still works if i'm wiping my phone.
Maybe someone had the same issue and had it fixed. Would be grateful if you share. Thank you for your time.

I don't have that application in my system?
Did you do a full wipe before flashing the ROM?

- if u have gapps flashed the car apps are in /system.
- if u do "data wipe" /system wont get touched, so they are still there. same for "cache wipe" and "dalvik wipe".
- if you flash the package again /system will be written again, the flashable zip with the rom will format /system BUT there is an cm update script in it, which will backup your gapps and put them back after format/reflash!
means: do a "format /system" before flashing the whole rom again (without gapps) and you have finally the rom installed without that car-stuff.
hope that helps

[Q] Moving to Paranoid Android from Ultimate N7000 XXLSC JellyBean 4.1

I'm finding Ultimate N7000 XXLSC slightly slow and buggish. I want to change to the ParanoidAndroid ROM, would this be a better move?
If so, what are the steps to changing to ParanoidAndroid from Ultimate N7000 XXLSC. I have the Philz Touch 4 kernel installed.
I have already downloaded: gapps-jb-20121011-signed and pa_n7000-2.21-13OCT2012-162120
Advice would be appreciated....

Backup the apps using titanium backup if you want them on pa too.. Go into recovery make a nandroid backup just in case no go into advance there is a option clean the phone for install new rom(i don't remember the exact name but by this you can address it correctly) now intall the paranoid and flash the gapps and you are done

Just to add to abhi... Ultimate rom has an older version of Philz kernel which may cause problems while installing the PA rom.. so either update the kernel to 4.35 version or use a CM kernel..

I did just that last week. the steps i took were:
1- flash CM10 kernel (important. Philz can cause trouble)
2- reboot recovery, this will bring you right back to recovery. you won't have touch anymore (CM10 kernel comes with CWM 6 recovery)
3- factory restore
4- on mounts and storage, format /system /data and /preload
5- flash paranoidandroid
6- on advanced screen, wipe dalvik cache
7- reboot
8- restore user apps and data from titanium (you did a backup before starting, right ?)
9- DO NOT restore system apps or data, except call log, bookmarks and SMS messages, and this ones, restore from XML
10- DO NOT restore touchwiz apps, like SNote. Titanium will get stuck while doing it, and they won't work anyway.

Thanks, it worked. Now I'm having issues with the internet. It works via wifi but the modem (I think it is that) seems not to be working. The stock modem that came with Paranoid isn't working. I tried installing XXLSC and the XXLSO modens but none are connecting to the internet.
I make and recieve sms and calls? Is there something Im overlooking?

PA rom doesnot come with modem.. it used the modem already installed on the phone, check your APN settings,

[Q] Problem on S5 with systemui closing

I am rooted with customer TWRP recovery. I have a custom ROM installed based on the latest touchwiz, few actual changes. ROM is [ROM][Kernel][G900F|I|M|T|W8][XXU1ANH6][26Sep] Omega v9.0●Omega Files.
I have had problems with unexpected SystemUI crash on v.8.1 of Omega, so I updated to Omega's v.9 when it was released a few days ago, no issues at first. But two nights, as I was grabbing my phone to plug it in, it was in this loop again trying to boot but giving the "unfortunately your systemui has closed". So, I managed to boot to recovery from the power menu (not easy as the error flashes every second), installed the ROM again (no wipe). Installed the latest Framework (which seems to always need an install and re-boot when I install the ROM), the ROM worked again for a few minutes, and then the errors started.
So I installed the ROM with a clean install, full wipe. Can't boot at all after the initial boot when I activated the framework. At first I thought it was one of the modules. I had the following modules installed:
Application Settings
Disable clear defaults dialog
Greenify
Wanam
Xposed G Touchwiz
So I did another full wipe install, ONLY installed the framework, activated the Xposed framework, and it won't boot, same error. I try clearing the cache, dalvik cache, nothing works. So I was forced to do another full wipe install and I'm now running without Xposed. A few other people are having the problem on the OMEGA S5 forum, but it seems very rare and most people running Xposed without a problem. I have the Canadian G900W8 version of the phone, don't know if that's the difference.

Took some advice in the S5 developers forum. Backed up my SD card. Formatted all partitions on phone. Re-formatted SD card with FAT32 in Windows. Made sure everything was cleared out. Copied the ROM (in a PC reader) to the newly formatted SD card. Re-inserted card. Installed 9.1, including Xposed Framework and all the modules I use. Restored my backed up files (pictures, music, TB backup files) to my SD card. After boot I did NOT get the systemui closed error that have been plaguing me for 3 days..
So, it may be that there was something in my configuration, either prior to using Omega or on an earlier version of Omega that caused these problems when I installed Xposed. Hoping that's the end of it. Will let you know.
Lesson for everyone, if there is an issue that is not generally being experienced by everyone else, don't just to a full wipe install, delete everything from everywhere with formats, including your SD card.

several default apps "stopped working"

Hi guys
heres what happened
I flash my device via spf flash tool to stock MM
then flash TWRP_boot_root_s228 then
copy CM13-2016-09-26 build & tron kernel
then I put my device via recovery mode then
flash the cm13 restarted all good then
flashed the tron kernel, all good again
here's the tricky part:
after I install facebook via google play store as soon as it as it is finished installing. there's several apps that stopped working like trebuchet, package installer, calculator and several more and when I check the settings several apps contains 0 bytes, none whatsoever. what am I doing wrong, I have been flashing several times ends up same result.
btw I wipe dalvik cache, system,data,cache,internal storage before flashing.
pls help me guys

There is no need of wiping internal storage
And
The problem you are facing can be solved by changing the rom
Simply download a random Custom Rom and gapps then flash them through your recovery -> this time just wipe dalvik, cache, system and data only.
I faced same problem once and i found solution through this step
