Update 7.4 Error Message

Has anyone else gotten any errors after flashing the newest update? I can't take a screen shot of it because my phone screen shows Return to 1%$s and under that it shows Don't start the new application. I've restored my backup for 7.3 and haven't had any issues that weren't user error. Am I flashing too much stuff or is there a certain order it needs to be flashed in? The mods I'm using are the inspire mod, blackened apps mods, mms enhanced, cobalt theme mod, and caviar dreams font. All of that has worked for me up until now, and I'm just wondering what it is that I'm doing wrong.

Most likely it's being caused by the cobalt theme...that was ported for 7.0 and there has been many changes since then. unless someone decides to update that theme..I wouldn't suggest using it on any of the later versions of ice cold

Thank you very much for that information. Initially I was just guessing that the issue I'm having may be caused by the cobalt theme. I was going to just try flashing one at a time instead of one after the other and see what happens. I will just refrain from flashing cobalt until a later date. I really like it but I need to be able to use my phone. Thanks again. :)

Keep getting md5sum mismatch when trying to download latest release through goo manager should I just download from mirror instead?

I downloaded the update from the link using my laptop, also because I wouldn't be happy until I tried it...I flashed everything except the cobalt theme and my phone has booted and is currently optimizing the applications.

Not able to shutdown

After updating to 7.4 today I found out that I cannot turn off my phone, it shuts down and reboots.
Is this an old problem?

Installed 7.4 - AOKP after a full wipe and it's pretty sleek except for one pretty annoying issue.

Occasionally the text is garbled, like:

reboot fixes it temporarily.

It doesnt work at all.
I have my bootloader unlocked, i copy and try with adb push the zipfile to my SD card.

When i boot in recovery i it detects and apply the file.
Then when i press recovery i get an red triangel with a shoutout sign.

If i do reset to factory i get the normal 2.3.5.

Bootloader unlocked, but did you flash a recovery image? First of all follow the steps there -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=841076 (or verify if you've already done all needed steps)

Then, once all is done/verified, do a backup of your rom - full wipe - and finally you can flash the new one

**Edit***
@Stoffl: this behaviour occurs sometimes after full wipe. You don't need to reboot. Just kill and restart your launcher.

ICS 7.4

After installing ics 7.4 in DHD here is an "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped", and then no statusbar.

ps. When release is higher then boot animation is slowly :rolleyes:

Try to reboot and if the behaviour still happens the best solution would be:

Do "Format System" and reflash the rom (no need of Wipe Cach or Wipe Dalvik, it's done while flashing)

With Format System, all system files are deleted, but you keep most of your parameters and all your applications+data

Reboot in recovery and you should find Format System in a submenu named Wipe / Format or something like this

**Edit - just seen your Upd

Strange, then it seems that you have to do a full wipe.

Hey.
I installed the full rom after you wipe.
I get these messages:
Process was stopped android.process.acore
Application has stopped UI system
It has stopped ... contacts
I have reinstalled 3 times, most recently after doing what you told the user Restle, what format the system (I was in moun / unmount) and still see the same messages.
I'm using this rom since version 5 ... before it had the 7.3 and gave me problems bluetooth
the wallpaper comes and goes alone, and the Ice Cold Sandwich text is inverted, upside down
Should we change the kernel or something else before installing the new rom?
Thank you very much.
regards

Hi
No, you don't need to change kernel or radio or anything else.

Maybe a full wipe will help

In Recovery, choose Factory reset
Reflash rom
Test

    Tips for IceColdSandwich DHD/Inspire - LorD ClockaN

    If you have any questions, if you need some help or support, please ask in this thread and not in the [ROM]-thread (only for developers or real bugs reports with logcat). Let us know if you've flashed the rom after a full wipe or not, which build version, DPI Density you use, what you've already done to fix the issue. Thank you

    Here is a list of the most common reported issues and solutions given by users on the threads (thank you to _Man0waR_ to have rewrited the text in better english) - This list will be updated time to time.

    1. MMS not working if Wi-Fi disabled?
    With Android 4, Data network must be enable to receive/send MMS. For some users, Wi-fi must be activate too.

    Receiving/Sending MMS without Wi-Fi depends on APN settings and of carriers
    - Verify that settings are the newest, according to your carrier's information
    - Try to create only one APN with all settings for Internet AND MMS -
    - Test with default,supl,mms or default,supl or default in APN-Type

    A solution given by ALIEN in dev's thread:
    1. Remove the default MMS APN even though it had the correct details in it for the MMS to work.
    2. Create a new MMS APN with the same settings as before
    3. Make sure this APN is selected and reboot phone.

    Verify SMSC in Informations of the phone
    1. In call dialer, type *#*#4636#*#* (or *#*#info#*#*)
    2. In Informations about Phone, look at the number in SMSC - if the field is empty, use refresh to see the number
    3. Compare with the one of your carrier (typing SMSC - name of your carrier - country will help to find it)
    4. If the number is wrong, clear the field and type the right number (don't forget to write the current number somewhere if the new one doesn't work!!!)
    5. Press Update
    Try sending/receiving MMS
    If it doesn't solve the problem, try to convert the SMSC number: look at this tread

    2. Troubles to buy applications or other issues with Google Play Store
    - First of all, stop Play Store application - clear Data - Reboot - Test.

    "An error occured. Please try again" (Thank to Twistedumbrella)
    In a root explorer
    - Open /data/system/ (R/W permissions needed)
    - Delete the files accounts.db and accounts.db-journal
    - Reboot - Open Play store and register with your account
    With adb,
    - rm /data/system/accounts.db
    - rm /data/system/accounts.db-journal
    - Reboot - Open Play Store and log in

    Compatibility issues with low DPI
    The rom has a modded Market/Playstore to allow downloading/updating applications in all DPI. But, to buy applications, set DPI to 240.
    - Follow all the steps in Settings / RomControl / GeneralUI - LCD Density
    or
    - Try with this MOD Play Store

    If the issue is not solved, test following solutions:
    - Flash Gapps ICS (available with GooManager application installed in the rom). Scroll the list to find newest Gapps for ICS.
    - Install another PlayStore: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24263815&postcount=13166
    - Install old Market by following the step in this message.
    A user report that flashing the newest Gapps ICS after installation of old Market let him use Play Store without any problem (buying apps too).

    If previous steps don't help, try following solution with Market Unlocker (thanks to semdoc)
    To work with Android Market 3.x and Google Play Store,
    1. Turn on flight mode
    2. Enable Market Unlocker and auto unlock (by default Verizon is configured)
    3. Got to system Setting => Applications => Manage applications => All => Market, and click "Clear data"
    4. Reboot phone
    5. Turn on Wifi/3G
    6. Wait google service sync-up completed or refresh in Gmail.
    7. Open Android Market or Google Play Store. Paid apps are there.
    Turn off flight mode now.

    Amazon Appstore does not allow users to buy paid apps from outside USA, even if users have been registered use US credit card and billing address. Market Unlocker will set USA proxy to help you buy daily free apps as well as paid apps.

    To work with Amazon Appstore outside USA,
    First install Appstore app, otherwise the function will not be visible.
    1. Go to Proxy tab
    2. Click edit icon beside "Proxy For Applications", select "Amazon Appstore" in list, and click OK button.
    3. Configure Proxy Type, Proxy Host, Proxy Port. Please make sure you're using an effect USA proxy server first.
    4. Switch "Enable Proxy" to "ON"
    5. Open Amazon Appstore and enjoy

    3. Problems with applications after flashing the rom
    - Clear the cache of the application
    - Try to fix the permissions
    - Uninstall the application, delete the folder of the application if one exists on the SDCard then reinstall and test the application again.

    Error "Insufficient Storage memory available" while update or installation
    - Run Root Explorer or a file manager with root option
    - In /data/app, search a file _name_of_app.odex and, if exists, delete it
    - Try update or installation of the application
    If the issue is still there,
    - if not done: uninstall the application first
    - In your file manager, do a new search on thename_of_your_app and delete all files ignored by the uninstall process.
    - Try the installation

    4. Text unreadable or scrambled
    This issue happens sometimes after flashing a rom and does not come again after a while
    - Use Long press on Back button to kill the application (to enable in Settings/RomControl/GeneralUI - option Hold Back to Kill)

    5. Camera
    Native camera works in portrait mode. Landscape mode works too but have no settings.
    Native Camcorder works at 480p
    If you get force close on first use, go to Manage Applications and clean Data/Cache of camera.

    6. Widget Weather
    Weather centered and information not squished together in the drop down menu:
    Solution given by semdoc:
    - Open ROM Control -> Weather -> Statusbar Weather Style.
    - Tick on "Disabled". Then activate the Weather Panel again.
    - Tick on "Get Weather".
    - Now it should be fine.

    Force Close of SystemUI or even reboot when Weather Widget is enabled.
    - Verify your custom location settings (look at the samples given in the options). Behaviours like Force Close or even random reboots can occur if an invalid setting is set in custom location.
    - Try out without custom location - Enable services in Settings - Location services.

    7. Random reboots and new SIM card detected
    - Verify custom location in Weather
    - Delete LOST.DIR and .android_secure on the SdCard and reboot

    8. Phone.apk Force Close when calling
    - To fix that issue, set the LCD screen Density to 190 dpi or higher. Some users report that in DPI182 it works fine too.
    - Try with another phone.apk: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24197125&postcount=216

    9. I Don't like the Nova Launcher - I prefer Apex....
    Since version 5.1 of the rom, 2 Launchers are provided: Trebuchet and Nova (most of users answering the poll asked for Nova Launcher).
    If you don't like it:
    Before flashing: open the zip of the rom and delete novalauncher.apk in system - app.
    After flashing:
    - Download and install your preferred launcher
    - Deactivate Nova
    - Mount system in an file manager
    - Delete novalauncher.apk in system/app
    Apex Launcher preferred? Here is the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1452663 (Apex Launcher can also be downloaded from the market now)

    10. No GPS?
    - In Settings - Localisation services - Sources GPS : activate Use internal GPS
    or
    - Try this fix http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1239713 (thanks RED_)
    - Try this patch: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1252011 (thanks mbudden)
    - Solution given by Monster598:
    I had issues as well. I used the agps script..with no luck. this is all with google nav. i tried a 3rd party nav and it worked great. so the problem was with google navigation.
    I clean up the data and even uninstalled the updates with no luck. what fixed it was a getting a lock in google nav, then turning gps off then back on again. after this no gps locking issues. Please note this is with the agps script still installed so it may have helped.

    11. Issues with Email or Exchange
    Email or GMail or Exchange force close
    Try to clear data and cache of the application, reboot and test.
    If the issue is the same, use GooManager (in applications list) to download the Gapps ICS (scroll to find the newest) and reinstall.

    Exchange: Problem to send emails
    Email and Exchange ICS inverted work for some users. Source and download link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1544471.

    Issues with Email.apk
    Errors like FolderSync failed: 142 (NotProvisioned) - V/EAS P****r( 3088): Policy not supported: 936 or 938: Apply this fix - and it will works. awesome (thank to burnout11)
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1117452#post14577188

    12. White-only pages with native browser and some other issues
    Disable the option "Enable OpenGL Rendering" in Settings - Debug of the browser. Enable this only on webistes that need it.

    13. FM Radio
    Yes! FM Radio works - Use Spirit FM Free from the Market/Play Store. In Settings - Regional band: choose your country - Audio / Method: try qdsp5v2 or qdsp5v2+ - FM radio can works with speaker as Output device, but not always. Best is using headset.

    14. Locking screen (sleep) issues
    Before using an lock screen application or widget, be sure it is fully compatible with ICS. Lock Screen Widget was last updated in september 2010! Lock Screen App does not work with Android 4.0.4. (info on Play store).

    Here is the workaround to get the screen turned off properly (thank to Reasonable_Man)
    Go to "Setting > Security > Screen lock" and choose "None".
    This will disable the system lock screen and the screen will be turned off properly. If you still need your screen lock, you have to install other 3rd party screen lock apps such as WidgetLocker or Milocker etc.

    15. Light on sensitive buttons
    Go to Settings - Display: Depends of your settings, turn auto brightness on then off or off then on.

    16. Enabling "Tablet mode":
    In Settings - Display: Enable DualPane + set Text size into Huge
    In RomControl - General UI / LCD Density - 5. Change Density to... - use option "custom" to set DPI to a value >120 and <128
    Reboot
    Some options for the navigation bar are available in Settings - RomControl (some options don't work)
    Notice: if you have problems with Play Store, look at point 2 in this message.

    17. Youtube and Gapps issues
    Last updates of Youtube or some Gapps don't work on ICS custom roms (FC or even reboots).
    - Use Menu - Manage Applications
    - Open Youtube or the faulty Gapps
    - Choose Uninstall updates
    To test: "modded" update of Youtube (attachment in message)]


    Full wipe or not?
    - Full wipe is highly recommended when flashing a new release. For test versions, it depends on the issues or problems you had in the previous version. If you want to report bugs, a full wipe is requested.

    Very good tips to help aleviate some issues - given by cstayton
    1. always wipe dalvik/cache and boot when doing a full wipe.
    2. after flashing let your device set untouched for 5 or 10 minutes
    (even though it is setting at the setup screen there is likely still many active
    tasks happening in the background)
    3. once you have gone through the setup wizard reboot your device before installing any applications or changing settings.
    4. leave all performance settings and dpi settings for last this can help aleviate alot of wierd glitches..

    - Deleting LOST.DIR and .android_secure on SDCard could prevent issues with pin code requests, etc.

    Can someone tell me the difference between the CFS and the BFS kernel?

    Thanks

    BFS is designed to focus on the main app installed, and process everything around the open app.

    CFS is built around multi-tasking power. In general most people will prefer CFS because you notice less issues. If your a single app kind of person use BFS since your focused, but your scrolling, and swiping actions will be a little more laggy.



    Can Inspire users use the BFS kernel?

    FAQs

    Phone crashes at 160 dpi, can this be fixed?

    Currently not fixed, but overcome. It is not the layouts but the code itself. There is a phone.apk that can be found in the thread, but you will lose the extended features.

    Market won't install paid application, is this right?

    Some versions of market on some dpis face this issue. Try updating market, clearing the data and cache for it in settings, and if all else fails reverting the dpi to 240

    I saw XXX on this other forum can you add that?

    Post the link and say you found a cool feature and I am sure it will be looked at, but don't freak out if it is not added. If it wasn't, there is a reason. If there is only one link, 30 posts won't make the content any different.

    I saw XXX device had YYY working, will that help?

    No. Unless it was the same device, or a sibling of this device (Vivow, Thunderbolt) then chances are it is nice and all, but useless here

    I read that last one, but the hardware is the same and they just released their ZZZ rom, will that help?

    Even less so because now you are talking about taking a prebuilt ROM and somehow reverse engineering it back into source. If the fix is that great, it will be found (in source form) when the author wants it to be or someone designs an alternative

    Hey, so I was searching but nobody mentioned XXX was broken..?

    I assure you at least 100 people have, but if they were equally detailed in their report it will be just another blade of grass in a field. If you installed mods, scripts, backups, etc try without them. If you did something specific, try to recreate it so you can describe it in a way it can be tested. If you didn't wipe (phone or @$$) try that as well, it helps

    Anything else you may want to ask should be done using GOOD JUDGEMENT. I know the minimum age is 13, but there are plenty of children younger than that fully capable of expressing their needs, desires, and problems successfully. It should be easy for those having much more time to have learned to do so. Don't disappoint you parents.
