After installing MiniCM7 and it's custom kernel I can't add most of the widgets I download via market. Out of 20 widgets only 1 shows up in widget list.
Is there any way to fix this or am I the only one who has come across this problem?
You moved the widgets to SD card?

Oh thanks, my apps install default to SD since X8-s internal memory is so small.

The best way I've found to free up memory taken by installed apps was to created a sd-ext partition. To easily create a sd-ext partition follow these instructions:
NOTE THAT THIS WILL ERASE ALL DATA ON ALL PARTITIONS ON THE SD CARD - BACKUP THE SD CARD BEFORE DOING THIS IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR DATA
1. Reboot into recovery mode
2. Select the "advanced" option
3. Select the "Partition SD Card" option
4. You can now set the "Ext Size" for the sd-ext - I use "2048M" which works fine although if you have loads of free space you can select "4096M"
5. Next you'll see a "Swap Size" - After some research I found a swap drive isn't needed and will not really speed anything up (I am not using a swap drive but you may create one if you like - THIS WILL REDUCE THE LIFE OF YOUR SD CARD!)
6. Click next/OK until it starts the partition process - This will now create the sd-ext partition.
Once done I reccomend to clear all data (under mounts and storage, select format /system, format /data, format /cache). Then Come back out to main option list, select "wipe cache partition" and finally "wipe data/factory reset" as if you wer're flashing a new ROM).
Flash ROM and gapps-xxx - Reboot and enjoy!
Hope this helps!
NOTE:
If you decide to change ROMs in future, make sure you select "format /sd-ext" as part of the "clear all data" process.

You've encountered a brick. Now what you should do this is
Open PCC
DO NOT CONNECT YOUR PHONE YET
Under "Support Zone" , click on Start
Opt for "Phone Update Software" and click "Start"
It will complain that no phone is connected.
There'll be a "Repair Phone" option. Click that.
Just follow the steps in PCC. It will tell you how to connect your phone. Update , and in no time you'll get back to Stock ROM.
Re-root. Flash CWM

okay!
This is for the last option! if didn't work to repair it using PC companion or SEUS
1. download X8 E15i 2.1.1.C.0.0._un.ftf from file crop and you willl get your phone on 2.1
2. its better if you backup your data when in 2.1 you so can restore it OR backup from xrecovery
3. make sure if your baseband is 015 and phone type is not 11w29+ !!!
4. root your phone by clicking padlock icon in the Flashtool!
5. install xrecovery with flashtool by clicking the cross icon
6. unlock bootloader using s1tool
7. flash the latest kernel
8. backup
9. factory reset, wipe data, etc
10. Flash ROM
DOne!
Just make sure that the Widgets were not installed on SD card

Hello i have a big problem..
There was a problem with a custom rom that i flashed and when i was connecting the phone to the pc it was taking too long to show me my internal memory etc. So i decided to do a clean flash from odin by flashing an original firmware for i9305.. The phone then stuck to the samsung logo! I reflash it but still the same. I even use re-partion and stills it reboots and stays at samsung logo screen i dont know what else to do?
Tried to go into recovery and factory reset / wipe cache?

lucky for me i flashed the recovery and i had atmy internal memory an old rom.. i flash it and the phone is working now thank god.. but i can understand why it did that.. i will not be able to flash an original firmware? and btw is still slow.. i connect it to pcamd takes time to open the internal memory and external..but at least it works
I have this problem when flashing through odin. Battery pull reset data clear cache always does the trick. I usually have to put back into download mode and then restart device from there. Worth trying.

There's a few stock based ROMs in the dev section, they should suit your needs without the headache of using a PC when you have CWM. I recommend the one with qslide

hey,i followed all the steps and flashed it. the phone started this time but in the software information the kernel version still is 3.1.10(that's the stock version,right?) why didn't it work?
Hello , i'm from Romania and i find a easy way to go back to 4.1.2 official from a custom 4.4.2 rom.
I search on internet but i did not find some easy way to install official firmware.
I'm sorry for my english but i hope you will find this thread very usefull.
Ok let's begin:
1. Charge the phone.
2. Open LG mobile support tool official.
3. Turn OFF the phone.
4. Press VOL- and plug the USB cable until you see S/W Upgrade.
5. LG tool will find your phone on 4.1.2. It OK.
6. Go to Options - Country and language and select your country and language.
7. Go to Option - Upgrade recovery.
8. Then the LG tool will search your phone firmware and will automaticaly download latest firmware and install .
9. The phone will reboot, and the logo LG will remain on screen, in my case. Do not panic. Unplug the usb cable and press power button to close the phone.Keep pressing untill is off.
10. Press VOL- and Power to enter recovery mod, do a factory reset, wait for the green robot to finish, restart and then the phone will boot official 4.1.2.
Now you have official 4.1.2 fast and easy.
Good luck !
Thanks for share .I think restore Nandroid backup is easier . With your method you have to reunlook bootloader and to root your phone after downgraded to stock firmware.

Thing is, people often neglect to make a backup before changing ROMs. And don't worry about the bootloader, that one stays unlocked. Root access will be gone though, but that can be a good thing. This is a good method, also very useful for reviving bricked devices quickly and with ease (in which case you have to choose the option 'force update').

Even nandroid backups are useless at times.For example when your internal storage gets corrupted really bad even formatting wouldn't fix it.In this case I've just bricked my phone by corrupting the internal storage for the 3rd time just this week and only LGMsupport can fix it. (even tried makeext4fs command, nothing helps.)
Also you only need to flash a custom recovery, no need to root or unlock the bootloader.

Hello,
Can U please confirm that ?
i've always been thinking that using any LG tool to "restore" stock rom automatically remove the root.
BTW thanks for this tuto that should be useful in case of emergency

I meant you don't need to reunlock your bootloader or root again in order to flash a custom ROM after restoring your phone's firmware using LG mobile support tool.
Using some adb command you can flash recovery from your computer without needing root.
Sorry guys. I'm a bit confused here... Does that method relock your bootloader or not? If it does, I know that there is a limited number of times you can lock/unlock your bootloader. Can someone explain a little more about that? :silly:

reflashing a kdz doesn't relock the bootloader. (which is what this method does)
however, note that this method, as written here will fully wipe your internal sd card. to avoid that, before doing any of this, boot to custom recovery and format system, data, cache & dalvik cache partitions. then proceed as planned, but on step 9, your phone should not be stuck on boot logo, but it should boot into first login screen

ok thanks
My phone was unlocked and rooted but running the factory 5.1 ROM. I had a 5.1.1 update this morning but it erred during install. I removed the root using Kingo Root and that's when the endless boot looping began. It appears as if my phone now both locked and unrooted but won't complete the boot process.
I tried unlocking the phone again using Nexus Root Toolkit but it tries to boot the phone, so I can turn on USB Debugging maybe, which doesn't work so I can't find a way to unlock my phone at this point.
I tried flashing a factory image using Nexus Root Toolkit and get the below errors. Nothing changes after completion.
TWRP will not install, I assume because the phone is currently locked.
Can somebody please give me some options to try? I'll do whatever works. I don't mind stock rom, I don't mind a custom ROM. Anything that works is OK with me.
I would love to get TWRP on there if possible.
I think my first step should be to get the phone unlocked again but is there a way to do it with a phone that boot loops constantly?
Thanks.
Also, doing a wipe and reset in recovery didn't help at all.
If fastboot format userdata and cache doesn't fix it, there's nothing you can do.
This is the image I get when I try to unlock using Nexus Root Toolkit. Obviously the boot loop starts and I'm unable to complete the unlocking procedure.

Think what you will. But the answer is no.
I have two options in recovery; Wipe Cache Partition & Wipe Data/Factory Reset.
I've done both and it still boot loops.
So this phone needs to go in to the shop for service?

If you don't even know what phone this is, please stop giving advice and leave it to the people who know the phone and the options.
1) following incorrect and useless advice wastes time
2) it detracts from real advice
3) is dangerous
