I've hit the notorious "Unfortunately, bluetooth has stopped" crash/restart error
Firstly I would like to ask if anyone has found a satisfactory solution to this problem. When the bluetooth is turned on, it will turn off and on multiple times necessitating a clear cache/data/force stop to kill it. I've done a factory reset (actually me and my Dad both have the same phones, on mine a factory reset worked, but his it did not). I've rooted the phone. I've tried modifying the bt_config.xml in the bluedroid folder. Everything I've tried doesn't seem to work. My Dad is about to buy a new phone which we really can't afford right now.
Secondly I would like to ask now that I've rooted the phone, could I possibly flash a new rom with a modified and/or newer version of Android and would that possibly fix the bluetooth problem? Also what advantages could I expect from new roms? Where can I find them, how do I install them and how do I backup? I realize there's a lot of this information on here and abroad the internet but the only problem is most of the info I see is from 3-4 years ago (for obvious reasons), it's all spread out and frankly overwhelming.
I'm not asking anyone to make a detail personal post explaining all the steps of everything to me, but I would appreciate a push in the right direction. Including how to make a full backup of everything, and also tips on making sure I don't actually delete important information for my device specifically. Again I'm not asking YOU (whoever's reading this) to make me any kind of special detailed reply, but rather a push, but in sort of the right order etc. For instance you might point me to an existing thread that tells me out to back up stuff, and then point me to another that tells me about roms, and another about how to install them.
That is point me to threads where everything I need is in it, rather than just "Go look in these threads and here's some tips." Like I said it's all like spread out, so one might say you can do this and the other thing, and some other threads might refute or say there's problems, and frankly it just boggles my mind. I would call myself a tech-normie that is, I can follow directions, I know some about technology so I'm not a newbie, but I'm far from expert.
So please, point me in the right direction, and I hope I've been polite and clear enough. Thank you!
