How did you flash it? Did you do it through ROM Manager? Did you wipe data and cache? Something's not quite right, the bloatware should be gone.
i am having the same issue. are you also missing stuff like the notification power control widget?
io flashed mine from cwm and wiped everything.

i was only installing BAMF Remix Patch 1.6.2 not realinzing it is only a patch to BAMF Remix v1.6!!!
i booted into ClockworkMod
everything now appears to be as expected for the ROM
thanks for your help.
it looks like this worked. when it first boots though the wallpaper is black with a red streak but then changes to the default wallpaper from stock. is that normal?
That got me closer to everything being 100%. I installed Remix 1.6 and 1.6.2 and I noticed changes like the battery indicator and the market being black (very nice, btw), but I still have bloat & the notification bar is missing. Wiped Dalvic Cache both times, wiped data fully when I installed the main BAMF 1.6 at the start of this.

I had this same exact issue. The cause of mine was installing through ROM Manager. I was wiping everything that should be just like you are it sounds. The fix I found was rebooting into recovery and flashing manually. There is an option in ROM manager to reboot into recovery. Once you are into recover wipe data/cache three times. Wipe cache partition three times. Wipe Davlik Cache(Under advanced menu) three times. I usually wipe three just to be sure everything is clean before I flash. Flash 1.6. Now load 1.6.3(since it's out now) onto the SD card. Boot into recovery again, wipe cache partion and davlik cache three times. Install 1.6.3.

I did the install through the ROM manager, so I'm hoping your solution works out. I'll give it a try this evening. Thanks for the suggestion!

Actually I just looked and 1.6.3 is an entire rom instead of a patch so you can skip flashing 1.6. And just flash 1.6.3 after wiping data/cache/davlik cache.

I had the same issue and this worked for me. I just reflashed 1.6.3 directly from CWR (after wiping everything 3x) and everything worked correctly (notification widget, etc.)
thanks for the help
I am glad I found this, I had this same issue and it was driving me nuts. I'm reinstalling now and hopefully everything just comes out perfect.
I am adding this to my list of why I don't like RM.

I tried flashing MIUI and ICS after doing full wipes, but when rebooting the phone, it won't go mast the Motorola logo where it says "Unlocked." Is there a way to fix this?
wipe data/factory reset, cache, and dalvik in recovery

I always do that before I flash a rom. I've done it at least 5-6 times now as I try to reflash the roms.
Sorry, early morning brain fart!
What do you consider a full wipe?
How long are you leaving your phone rebooting after flashing the ROM on the initial first reboot?
You could try flashing a kernel after flashing the ROM. You shouldn't have to, but I would try flashing the appropriate kernel from Faux.
Try wiping cache and dalvic cache. After do a factory reset. Then flash the ROM twice! As in back to back without doing anything else.
Personally I would flash another Rom, Some like Nottach or Cm7.2 and see if it boots, if so then recharge the battery and then try fresh again doing the wipes like others have said.
I had issues before where my recovery wouldnt boot but reflash did and was able to redo things and all is well.
For MIUI you need a separate kernel I tried flashing before and was stuck too, then flashed a kernel and it worked (jokers v3 kernels work well)
I have just tried installing CM7 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257574
I made sure to do a wipe all data, cache, and dalvik cache. Then rebooted and waited for it go past the logo for 10-15 minutes (which it didn't).
This is the same process I go through for each rom, but it still doesn't work.
Hi Everyone,
I keep getting a boot-loop after installing ANY custom ROM. I factory wipe, clear cache and dalvik cache, THEN i install the zip and gapps, then I factotry wipe, clear cache and dalvik cache AGAIN. It loads the boot screen, whether its CM10 or ParanoidAndroid, and then at the "welcome" screen, it reboots after 2 seconds. It just keeps looping.....any ideas?
try formatting system before flashing
just format system or cache and data as well? and do I do that before I wipe or after i wipe everything?
format system/data/cache, then flash
ok, I only did system and cache, and it still is rebooting constantly, i'll try it with formatting data.
which Rom are you trying to install?

Wrong gapps version??
I tried doing it without gapps, I'm still getting a restart after everytime I get the lock screen on EVERY ROM i try to install....don't know what the problem is with my phone, it's happening with EVERY ROM. Is it because my baseband/firmware stuff isn't uniform?
Product Code: GT-I9300RWD(INU) (India i think)
PDA: I9300XXBLH1
Phone: I9300XXLFB
CSC: I9300ODDBLG2
Download the ROM AGAIN and this time download the OLDER version and keep your eyes on the download especially you are downloading from chrome. sometimes the problem is in the downloaded rom its self. and than make a factory Reset and then install the rom and than factory reset again than reboot the phone. Hope it works. I just did it yesterday. I also had boot loop. I tried to restore backup, install the newer ROM nothing worked. than I tried that and it worked....
what do you mean download again and download the older version? I've tried every combination of factory reset/wipe/dalvik cache/reset/install/reset/cache/dalvik, etc....

Download the ROM from internet again. this time try the older version of the ROM that you want to install.
EXAMPLE: I wanted to install Omega v26.1 and I went to boot loop. I tried everything to flash the newer version, I also tried to restore the nandroid backup. nothing worked. so I downloaded Omega V13 and than I did factory reset than I installed omega v13. Worked like charm.
I hope it will work for you too...
Prior to trying to flash a custom rom onto my droid razr, I was on the verizon rom 4.1.2. I had root access and I installed BMM and got recovery working. I really liked CarbonRom from what I read and wanted to flash it and so I got the rom, the gapps 20130301 and I flashed the rom, then the gapps, and I rebooted. It gets stuck on the booting screen (the splash screen). I also tried flashing the jbx hybrid kernel (version 6 i believe) and out of curiousity tried flashing CM10.1 with the same gapps just to see.
None of it works, am I doing something wrong?? If so, what am i doing wrong??
Any help would be appreciated,
Thank you
FIXED
I got it working. If anyone is interested or has my same problem with BMM,
for some reason when you choose factory reset with BMM it doesn't clear /system. You need to go to Mounts & Format and manually format /system before the phone is actually cleared. Just clearing cache and data doens't do it.

HI.
I've changed roms before countless times, but now I'm trying to install a 4.4.2 rom on my Galaxy S3, and I have some problems. The installation (flash) passes with no problems, but after that, the phone won't boot. It sticks on whatever the rom's boot animation is. I've tried to wipe data, cache, wipe dalvik after this but it's still not working. Before I flash every rom, I do a factory reset, wipe the dalvik cache, and format system. I've tried with 15+ 4.4.X roms, and these are some of them: CyanogenMod, OmniROM, SlimKat, AOKP, Pacman and so on. As I said, I've flashed roms before a lot of times, without any problem. Only 4.4+ roms wont work. I tried to change the recovery, still the same result. I flash gapps with every rom too. Any idea what can be causing the problem? I'm using the latest Clockwork recovery, Sorry for my bad english and thanks.

Format data and system and cache (full wipe) also intstall the rom then boot it then flash gapps after see if that helps.

I've already done that every time. As I said - Its not my first time flashing roms on my device. I know how to fix the general errors. This is something unusual tho.
Hey
When it bootloops, have you tried to goto recovery and see what us the cwm version??
Also try re-flashing the ROM without wipes..

I just flashed EHNDROIX V (based on CynogenMod 4.4.2 KitKat) last night and it worked just fine.
Rooted the device with Odin, install TWRP from playstore, install TWRP recovery from TWRP, clean dalvik, clean data, clean cache, flash ROM and then flash Gapps (spesific Gapps for the ROM) and voila it worked right away.
Note:
You see, I am not using CWM but TWRP. I dunno if CWM is the one causing the problem.
Most of the weird flashing issues are due to the recovery used, you could also try the latest version of Philz recovery which has an option to wipe for new firmware.

Quote " Before I flash every rom, I do a factory reset, wipe the dalvik cache, and format system" You said nothing about formatting data that is why i suggested it! Next time please include all details on how you flashed the rom then It cuts down on useless post's like mine
Like everybody suggested try a different recovery ( latest one) which if you have flashed roms many times before you should have done anyway
Thanks guys, but I've already tried these things. CWM, TWRP and three other recoveries (not famous ones) haven't been able to help.

If a rom is stuck in a loop, I would go to recovery and wipe dalvik and wipe data then reboot into same rom. This has worked for me when I've been stuck after a flash.

Did you update your bootloader? When I flashed 4.4.2 from 4.4.1 on my s3, I had to update mine to get it to work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2321310 hope this helps.
