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.

[Q] Problem Loading Widget error after a reboot?

Has anyone ever found a solution to this bug under CM7? I've searched and all threads end with no answer.

+1 on this problem.
Boot up in clockwork, go to mounts and storage, mount system, mount data. Back out to cwm main menu, wipe cache partition, go into cwm advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache, back to cwm main menu and choose reboot system now.
That fixed the widget loading error for me with CM7.

Tried that. Nothing fixes it permanently, they still vanish after a few reboots. I have wiped my gtab, and installed fresh several times, always fails after a few reboots.

I know you say you have wiped and installed fresh several times, but have you tried this -> After a wipe and fresh install, wait about ten minutes on first boot for everything to settle in, then shut down, boot into CWM and do a factory reset on the new install that you just performed. Then boot back into the rom and wait for everything to settle in again before attempting any installations of apps or widgets.
Just something to try.
Have the same issue. Widgets crash after a few reboots (I would understand if it crash every reboot but NO you will need several )
any proven solution????

Try the "fix" suggested in this thread. Basically, a) run fix_permissions and b) take a backup of /data/system/appwidgets.xml to restore at a later date.
That fixed most of my widgets. Not all though. One of them completely disappeared instead of showing "Problem loading gadget". I'll go over the procedure again and see how it goes.
Basically, I booted in recovery, cleared cache and dalvik cache, fixed permissions, and rebooted.

CheeryKang 0.9.2 will not install on TouchPad

Hi,
I am currently running CM9 Alpha2 ICS.
I thought of upgrading to CherryKang 0.9.2, I followed the steps below, but after install CherryKang would not come up.. I see the dual boot menu and when the cyanogen mod menu item is selected it blanks out and then reboots again and I see the dual boot menu again.
I did full wipe, Factory reset, Advanced-Dalvik Cache and also under Mounts and Storage System wipe, and lastly Wipe Cache. After install i did Factory Reset again and Wiped Cache again. Rebooted Touchpad and nothing comes up.
I also tried unsintall thru ACMEUnInstaller and then put CherryKang 0.9.2 in the cminstall directory and the install process did not install the CherryKang 0.9.2
What am I missing?
Thanks

0. 9.3 is out now, so you might as well install that.
Wipe /delete factory reset, wipe dalvik cache and install.
Make sure you have a good download (check md5).
No need to wipe /format anything after you install (I don't).
It should work.......
Don't forget to have a good backup in case things don't work.
I tried to use 0.9.3 but goes into a boot loop as before. Is it because I am also doing a "system format" under Mount and Storage?
I don't think cherry will install from cminstall since it doesn't start with update... or gapps...
I've always had to install it via CWM. I had to run the boot image cleaner and wipe everything before installing.

I did the update thru CWM. It did not work and goes into boot loop.
What else can I do
Are you still formatting system every time? Try skipping that. Just wipe caches and install ROM then gapps.

[Q] Can't wipe Dalvik Cache

I was flashing CM9 from CM7 on my Motorola Defy, botched it up intially due to a slip of my finger which led to me to Clear the cache first. But then I restarted the entire process by Clearing Data -> Installing -> Flashing Kernel and so on...
But when I tried to clear the Dalvik Cache, the phone didn't delete it. It didn't give me a message that it wiped the cache, but it didn't say otherwise either. This led me to believe that the cache just didn't exist anymore.
As a result, I'm unable to install apps - Says there is no memory and I need to make more. Also, everytime the phone comes on is treated as the first time. It takes me through the whole process of Setting up an account and everything. This has rendered my phone obsolete.
Please help me!
Thanks in advance.
~Bloo (newb) ^_^
EDIT: Solved, reflashed the stock SBF. But is this the only solution? :O
Have you tried doing a clean install?
Honestly, any time you get issues like this where the phone gets stuck (either in a boot loop or resetting your settings every boot, etc.) it's best to just wipe/factory reset and re-flash everything.
This is also why it's important to make backups so that if something does go wrong when flashing, you can just restore and be good to go.
If by a clean install you mean starting from wiping data, flashing the ROM on again and going on to clear cache and dalvik cache; Yes I did that. But I'm unable to clear the cache.
I ought to have created a backup, didn't.
So how can I go about fixing this issue?

A clean install seems like the main thing to do (again). If you want, you could try going back to stock.
Installing again didn't do the job. Still can't wipe Dalvik Cache and the Setting still reset on every boot.
The chief problem I have with this is that I'm in India whereas the stock baseband is Europe. So to change it I've to reboot and can't do that because it resets every boot. @[email protected]
Is it a problem with the Kernel?
I'll go back to stock, but it seems a bit complex and I'm afraid I'll brick my phone. :'(
EDIT: Felt it was important to mention that the boot screen still shows CM7.1 and not CM9
I have a similiar problem.
Everytime I choose clear Dalvik men, it looks like he freezes for about a second or two. Then you see the 'menu' no - no - no - no - yes, clear dalvik memory - no - no - no (or something like that) pop up for half a second, and then it is gone. Is this a problem in CWM? Or is it in my phone?
I have a similar problem too! When I hit 'clear dalvik cache', the CWM screen just flashed once and nothing happened, and nothing says 'cleared dalvik cache' or similar...
Me too , how to solve it? Can anyone help? Mine is samsung gio
I have an issue similar to yours with my tablet (samsung galaxy tab 4 10.1 or SM-T430NU) in which it doesn't mount /data and it doesn't let me wipe to factory. Still haven't found how to fix this.

Trying to flash a custom rom. What Am I Doing Wrong?

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.

[Q] System ui has stopped working Liquidsmooth 0806

I'm posting this here because I don't have enough posts yet for the actual Liquidsmooth thread in development.
My phone is an XT912 flashed to Page Plus.
I was running the 3/27 spyder (if I remember correctly) version since March with little to no problems. Yesterday, I decided to update the rom to the 0806 spyder version on slot 2 (Safestrap) with PA mini GAPPS. I first did a dirty install over the previous version (read on the thread that some people had no problems doing that).
Things seemed to go fine for a few hours until I tried to delete some files on my sd card and internal storage while it was plugged into my computer. Some folders showed that they were empty (which they weren't), they were fine when I checked in ES File Explorer afterwards. So I rebooted into recovery to wipe the cache and dalvik. Reboot the phone and system ui immediately was stopping, over and over again. I got the phone back into recovery, did some cache and dalvik wipes, reinstalled, wiped again, and rebooted. System ui has stopped.
I booted back into recovery, factory reset slot 2, wiped caches, reinstalled the rom and gapps, another wipe, and rebooted. Profit! The only thing I had to do was futz with some settings to get 3G working again. All was well for the rest of the day and night until I decided to update Viper4Android. Viper rebooted the phone and I was back to the system ui crashing again. Meanwhile, I had rebooted the phone several times to fix the 3G and all was fine. Tried the whole full wipe and reinstall a couple of times (as per one of the posts that said to wipe, reinstall, wipe cache, reboot system, boot to recovery, wipe caches, reinstall, wipe caches, and finally reboot system. No go.
I saw that I'm not the only one this is happening to in the LS thread. Anyone have any ideas? I really can't get in to change any settings because the error starts as soon as the phone is booted. I have to try and get it to reboot in between tapping "ok" on the error and tapping "reboot" and "recovery".
I have created rom slot 1, installed liquidsmooth build 07/06, it is stuck on boot animation i did all like factory reset wipe cache dalvik cache... again i installed by removing data and system partitions and it was installed and started but it got hang... i again went to recovery wipe cache and dalvik again stuck on animation logo.... i tried before CM rom it was working fine...
Device is i think XT912 cdma and gsm.. i am using gsm

Is the phone branded Verizon? If it is, use the Spyder version. If not, UTMS Spyder.
I gave up on the Liquidsmooth rom. I went with AxxionKat and it runs so much better. Not one problem.

since new nightly build already available (LS-KK-v3.2-2014-08-16), it will be good idea to upgrade, just flashed this morning & everything is fine except moving from dalvik to ART caused bootloop..
I'll stick with AxxionKat. I've had absolutely no issues with it thusfar.
