Hi all, folks!
I'm quite new to this forum, but I've decided to open a thread because I have a problem with my O1.
This morning I flashed the #echo Void ROM. It all went fine, I installed some modules too (gapps, kernel, a2sd, gingerbread, hwacc).
After finishing the install process, i decided to download some apps from the market, but had a very bad surprise: it hangs at starting the download of every app I try and there is no way of downloading it .
I've tried everything that has come to my mind: uninstalling market updates, wiping the memory, turning the wifi off and on again. I've even re-flashed the ROM without installing any modules and re-tried to use the market, but still the same problem occurred.
If anyone has any idea about it, please let me know.
I must say that it is not the first time that I flash a ROM on my phone, and I'm quite sure I did everything in the right way by flashing Void. I 've been a Megatron user for about two months, with absolutely no problem at all.
Thanks in advance.
If you have GAPPS installed you should try to delete the market data (You can do it manually by deleting /data/data/com.android.vending/ or from an application manager). If you will still experience problems with the market, try removing it (/system/app/Vending.apk), then extract it from your ROM's ZIP archive and put it back into /system/app on your phone.
Market can also crash because of a missing Download Manager application. There should be an apk for it in your ROM's archive. (Do not install system programs by starting them! Copy them to /system/app/!)
Hello.
I have recently installed cyanogen mod 7 on my photon 4g. Whenever I reboot my android system force closes almost everytime. What could have caused the problem?
Thank you!
If it was your first time flashing to CM7 did you fully wipe your phone before flashing if not then I would start with that. Here is a copy paste of instructions for fresh install credits to cougarcougar.
Installation:
*ADDED NOTES : MUST be rooted, Unlocked bootloader, and Clockwordmod Recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1218417
* Boot into CWM recovery
* For a fresh install, wipe data and cache, then in mounts format system.
* Flash my latest build, then flash gapps, reboot.
* skip activation if you get it asking for a sliding keyboard, then just sign in under market or settings > accounts.
* to get sdcard working, in settings > cm settings > application .. change to internal and choose install location. then reboot.
* To get the external Sdcard recognized in apps. See post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=318
* If coming from other CM7 builds.... I installed over Cybik's last build with a wiped cache and formatted system. And flashed gapps
I had the same problem once. Realized it was being caused by an app I had that started on boot. It was LCD display. Try checking your apps if reflashing doesn't work.

hello
i have some problems with a rom based in Cyanogen 7 ( it's no official)
the keyboard is small...
there is in some way to modify it and make it bigger?
another thing is that i would like to pass apks from my pc to my htc wildfire s but there's no way the system android don't detected them
the good things is that I got 2.00 GB of free internal memory and is supposed it was installed directly to the sd , so I would like to improve and not change the rom
to prevent spam i can't put the link to download the rom , so the person who was interesed please send me a message
the rom is from another foro in spanish called htcmania
someone could help me?
thanks a lot !
The Keyboard can be changed by searching for another keyboard.apk for your phone, U can update it with google Play, or Aptoide.
Then the app problem, so you can't copy apks to your phone? and your phone doesn't install apps to sd?
Try the app:
apps2sd
or
connect your phone with your computer, install adb drivers
type in your path to yourAndroid SDK installation at Step 1:
Step 1: cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
Step 2: adb devices (it should say there's a device listed when your phone is connected!)
Step 3: adb shell
=> A $ sign should pop up
Step 4 :pm setInstallLocation 2 (or, new syntax : adb shell pm set-install-location 2)
Another $ should pop up

i installed a new keyboard and the adb drivers but the problem with the apps continues i mean i can't copy apks download from my pc to my phone with a modified rom, the phone doesn't detected them.
for example i tried to download and put in my phone some apk who play store deleted for obvious reasons it is droidsheep XD
however i can download and install apks who are in play store , it is strange...
thanks for your reply ^^
Did you turn on unknown sources in Settings>Security settings ? This allows you to install apps which are not from the play store...
If this is not the issue, you should check google settings( the grey cog with a g in it ), google got this feature which blocks apps, there should be a function in these settings which stops checking your apps that you install.

okey , i will check the google settings , anyway i am sick of this rom ... some apps like google play are continually restart
and a few days later I have noticed that the apks who i want to install from the google play (when it's installed ) restart the phone
that rom have some bugs...
thanks for the reply , but i will not continue with this rom , i make another post asking how i can change modified rom to oficial rom in the htc wildfire s , i don't find anything for this phone in google ...
thanks a lot ^^
Allright, well the problem could lie in your gapps, a corupt google play service can cause alot of trouble and Force Closes on your phone, also when you installed yothe mod, did you wipe everything? (Dalvik cache, Data, cache ...) Don't have the phone so can't test anything, might do some research tho
good luck further!

yes , about the custom rom i wipe everything so i think that was a fault from the chef T_T
pd: do you know how i can change modified rom to oficial rom in the htc wildfire s ?
thanks for your reply again :fingers-crossed:
Well I don't really understand what you mean, but the thing I understand out of it is that you want to go back to a stock Firmware or Rom?
I'd recommend backing everything up firstly (don't forget all your contacts!) .
Then go into recovery and do a factory reset / or Data, Dalvik cache & cache Wipe... (system should be wiped for modified stuff like battery improvements, added scripts, etc. ...)
& that's it for going back to your stock rom.
If you want to go back to stock firmware you should search what type of phone you have (the nickname , single sim or dual sim , all this) and look for stock firmware (.ftf Files)
To get this flashed on your phone you gotta use a flash tool and a computer.
For further information you should read some tutorials on how to flash firmware.

i was talking about the firmware , but i called it oficial rom sorry xD
in a spanish foro called htcmania the moderator told me: You can only install an equal or higher version .
the rom has a version 2.3.7 and the firmware that i would like to install has a 2.3.5 version
anyway, there was a tutorial who explain how downgrade the version of the rom?
thanks ^^
Well you can downgrade, if it is availble for your phone... Better so some more research regarding your phone and just try it.
I have a Note 2 (obviously), and I have rooted my phone the first day I got it and have never updated the phone since I purchased it. So, I am still on 4.1.2. My phone has been super laggy and I want to take the oppurtunity the when I reset my phone that I can take advatages of the new features that mobile phones have by upgrading all the way to 5.1.x.
So, I downloaded CM 12.1 by wilson3q with 5.1 system. I first tried the 5.0 version since the 5.1 looked too new, and did not have time to deal with the bugs. When I flashed the 5.0 version, I got errors of not being able to flash gapps for 5.0 and that I lost my root. I tried downloading the new TWRP to see if I can get a newer version that would work better, but no luck. I got an error saying that I lost my root privileges and did I want TWRP to fix it. I slid yes to fix, but no luck.
The same problem occurred when I tried with 5.1.
So, I ended up restoring my nandroid backup and I am back on 4.1.2 again with root working again.
I am thinking that I am probably supposed to 'step up' the updates, but not sure. Does anyone have a solution or a link to the solution that they can help with?
PS: I did not like the camera that came with the new mod. I do like the stock one. Are there flashes of cameras that I can use as well when I do end up upgrading?
Thank you in advance!!!

Try Phiz recovery, I've never had trouble with "[I605][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch". If I recall we had to start using that one when kit-kat was released (i reserve the right to recall poorly)
I have a link to download mirror here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60899023&postcount=146
from your new recovery, you should be able to install CM12.1 and 5.1 gaaps recommended in the Wilson3Q i605 thread. from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-verizon/development/rom-unofficial-build-i605-t3069506
FWIW, I am on the 20150803 build and still using the GApps Minimal Edition 2015-04-04 for Android 5.1 (91 MB) from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/gapps-google-apps-minimal-edition-t2943330
with no issues to report.
You may also need to track down updated radios (to flash from CWM). I think you can find a link to the updated ND7 Modem/Baseband here:

Good Luck!
PS you may want to flash superSU from recovery... get the zip from chainfire's xda thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
(I've been dirty flashing for so long I dont' remember if the rom came with SuperSU or superuser... as such I can't recall if I had to flash this zip or not, but I probably did if I had issues with root)
Note you may also need to enable root from the settings menu after enabling developer mode.
there should be a "root access" option (or somehting like that there)
PPS are you also remembering to wipe data & clear cache/dalvik?
I have found zoot's mega wipe useful...

it is for the N7100/N7105, butI have used it on the i605 quite a bit. Initial test result reported here:

I assume that you are giving steps in order, BUT I feel that I should flash the radio to 4.4.2 first, in which the link was broken. I have spent a couple hours trying to find another link, but I am afraid that I may be using an incorrect one. Do you have a good link for that, please?
Also, I have ready the newest Samsung 3.10 Odin downloaded and installed, as well as the USB driver installed and downloaded the ADB fastboot. If I remember correctly, I am supposed to move this onto C: and run it to access the device (Note 2). It has been since Android first came out since I have used the ADB though. So, I apologize for the ignorance. So, do I just make sure the adb is in the same directory and run Odin or did I not need ADB and just run Odin?
I also assume that I run the Philz touch after I have gotten to 4.4.2 rooted first. Am I correct by assuming that?

Yes, I have done a cache/dalvik wipe a few times (because I have tried reflashing to get it to work with no luck).
I have downloaded the .zip version of superSU as well, and gapps minimal 5.1 with wilson3q's 5.1 ROM. So, I am almost ready to go with the exception of the correct radio upgrade file.
Thank you so much for your help!!! Much appreciated!
PS Will my old WifiTether apk files still work with 5.1 or do I need to get a new one?
Thanks Again!

Just flash philz from twrp. Reboot recovery wipe/reset... then flash new ROM gaaps... Wipe/reset... Then reboot.
I can post the radio zip to my site later tonight. I believe you can flash that last, or later (from philz cwm, after getting on cm12.1)
Same as superSU. Check out ROM first. It comes with root that can be enabled in developer options. you can always reboot to recovery later and flash the zip.
PS. WiFi tether built into ROM "hotspot" (no VZW subscription required)
Pps try this for the nd7 radios

Sorry to bother you, but I still am getting errors with Failed root access for Titanium Backup Pro. I also cannot find Developer Options in the settings menu.
I have tried flashing the radio before and after wiping and installing the ROM then gapps then superSU. I get into superSU and it asks me for root access and I grant it, but Titanium Backup Pro still says that it has no root access.
Any ideas? Thank YOU!!

with SuperSU installed, you may need to just need to update binaries. open SuperSU and it should prompt you if necessary. the "normal" option should work (no need to flash from recovery)
for TiBu...
--within SuperSU settings you may need to disable (uncheck) "mount name separation".
--You may also have to enable unknown sources (under settings, security).
-- there might be something to enable for USB debugging as well (TIBU should prompt for it)
FWIW, you can restore user apps/data... but I would not attempt to restore any system data. Personally, I have found it best to get to know a fresh ROM for a while before trying to restore crap from an older ROM . there might be value in re-configuring apps manually and/or restoring them one at a time (after making sure the ROM is working properly) i.e. you won't need any of those aforementioned WiFi tether apps since it is built into the ROM now.
Instructions on enabling developer options in CM ROM, from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_developer_options
1- In the Settings app, select About Phone (or About Tablet).
2- Scroll down, and tap the Build number entry seven times. On the seventh tap, you will be notified that "You are now a developer."
3- Return back to the main Settings menu. Developer options and Performance entries should now be visible.

(that is likely how to enable superuser that is "baked" into the rom, given you already installed SuperSU it may only complicate matters)
You may be rooted and just having TiBu issues. If all else fails you can check with an app. A long time ago, I've used "Simple Root Checker" by SimoneDev to check root/busybox. It is still in the play store.
Good Luck!

Thank you! It ended up being my version of Titanium Backup. I downloaded a new version and it is good. As far as restoring is concerned, I do not even want the apps themselves restored from there, because there may be a new version and would like a fresh install of those apps. I just want my data restored. For example, I have a surveillance software that I would just like to restore the entries (IP's usernames and passwords). I would like my email settings to be there, so that I do not have to re setup my 7 email addresses. My Text/SMS messages and my alarms. So, I am not trying to do a full restore.
On another note, I am trying to get my calendars back into my phone with no luck. I cannot install google calendar and get my google calendars to populate into my task widget, and the ROM is not letting me set up my POP email addresses. Also, I see no ringtones, so I have no ringers to ring my phone nor tones for my alarm clock. I flashed gapps for 5.1 and I see nothing extra from the ROM. I thought gapps was google apps. Am I trying to do stuff differently than you? There seems to be a few problems in that manner that I am trying to work with.
I am thinking of downgrading to 5.0. Maybe the 5.1 is too new?
Again, THANK YOU for your help!

I wouldn't downgrade, nobody is actively working on 5.0.2 anymore.... that thread is basically dead. Also, it is likely less "stable"/mature than what you have installed now (that is currently being maintained). i.e. you have the ROM that I would stick with.
like I said I wouldn't restore any thing into system (apps or data)... you can do whatever you please. (but it could be causing you more issues than just biting the bullet & configuring manually) i.e. restoring accounts might result in unanticipated issues, you came from a much older version of android.
all I had to do was install google calendar from play store and then the CM12 calendar stuff all worked (I might have had to restart and/or install the google calendar prior to setting up primary gmail). you might need to remove all your accounts and load them again (a factory reset might be faster though.)
also you might have to update google services and the play store before certain things "play nice".
I know you don't want to hear this but...
from here on out i'll likely point to all your issues being based on restoring system data. (based on my limited knowledge and personal experience). FWIW, I'd try to reconfigure/setup everything manually and you will likely have much better results.

I figured that, and feared that and the same time. So, what am I flashing onto the phone with gapps then? Also, one of the reasons I was wanting to go back was because there are a few apps that are not 'compatible' with this system. Meanwhile, I am going to wipe and reset again, and do what you suggested and just reconfigure.
Thanks again!

(hopefully I am not out of line for posting a link to that wiki)
many ROMS like CM don't' include gaaps due to licencing/legal issues. which is why the AOSP roms devs often have you flash the GAAPS package separately (also you can pick your package for your fact pattern... full gaaps/minimal gaaps/etc.).
Also the gaaps zip files you flash from recovery install the files into system. a lot of folks like the minimal editions of GAaps because it doesn't force all the apps into system. instead it just gets you up and running with the play store and a few essentials... that lets the user install all the other google apps as user apps, from the play store.
basically taking the "debloat" mentality as far as you can... keep stuff out of system and let the user decide what to install.
Hello everyone and thanks for the support.
Recently I installed the Cyanogem Mod 12.1. I really missed the motorola apps in the stock version, so i tried reinstalling them. After some research in /system/apps, i found two foulders, probably related to the motorola apps. After i tried installling the apk, it said it wasnt a support device. So i coppied the foulders in /system/apps, permitions and etc and done. Didn't work after all.
Now i updated cyanogem. A "motogeofences has stopped" appears everytime. The device shuts down after 10 alerts.
I want to go to /ssytem/app and erase the folders, but how?I have twrp recovery.
Use the Aroma File Manager in your recovery to delete these files.
Just copy the zip to your SD Card and install it from your recovery (should work with every recovery). When done, exit the file manager and restart your phone.
Wrong thread. Sorry
