Drop-Down Menu leads to closing of App - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey
Whenever I try to use a drop down menu in an app, the app freezes and closes. For example, when i want to select the type of security in the email app from the drop down menu, it would freeze. The same occurred when i clicked on a drop down menu for a different app.
any suggestions? thanks
I recently installed a new rom. So maybe I'll have to reflash or new another rom.

I think that it will fix with a reflash, but make a clean install the next time, wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache.

thanks. I'll give it a try. i did do the wipes as i followed these instructions:
"
*Boot into Clockwork Recovery and perform a:
*"Wipe Data/Factory Reset."
*"Wipe Cache."
*Flash ROM
[inside the advanced menu]
*Wipe Dalvik Cache
*Fix Permissions
*Reboot Your Phone and let it sit for about 6 minutes
*Reboot again
"
But hopefully I missed something or made a mistake something.
thanks again

[Q] data2sd problem (crashing/freezing/looping)

I am currently using Wolfbreak's latest rom.
Everytime i install data2sd.zip from xrecovery, i get a long boot, then a boot loop.
When i get into android, i either freeze at the tutorial with a bunch of reports of app crashes (google calendar and etc.) or freeze later on when i decide to reboot.
If i reboot, it will freeze before i can do anything, and it will say something like "uids on the system are inconsistent... instability and etc"
I followed these steps from the post slowly and repeated these steps a few times:
1. Go to Xrecovery and make a Backup of your current ROM (optional but i suggest it)
2. make following in Xrecovery
- do a Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache Partition,
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Wipe Battery Stats
3. Install Custom Zip and choose CM6.1.3-V4.zip
4. Install another Custom Zip and choose CMUpdate-V4.3.zip
5. Install CM-V4Gapps.zip for Google Apps
6. When its booted go to your Programs and choose preinstalled Sysctl and make sure it is enabled with this Settings
[http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=463}
7. Go to CyanogenMod Settings/Tweaks extras and Select a theme and choose CM6.1.3-V4
8. Reboot
I give the phone about 30mins, and then i reboot and install xrecovery.

Hyperdroid/492 market error

As the title says - anyone else get this with the latest hyperdroid rom version?
Bad flash? or something else i need to do? (quicker fix than redownloading rom and starting again)
Dont mind hunting out apk's but id rather not take the app developers work from other than intended sources.
Have you changed dpi? If so, set it back to 240, reboot, clear market cache, download app, set to custom dpi, reboot, clear market cache.

never touched a thing. wiped the dalvik and rebooted again but no joy. I'll try a fresh download of the rom and start over.
Had this problem too
Fix it by doing the following:
1. Go into CWM Recovery
2. Wipe Cache (did this twice)
3. Wipe Dalvik Cache (did it twice)
4. Fix Permissions
5. Reboot

flashed new RR 2.0

Greetings,
I flashed RR 2.0 (which is a great rom!), but now my phone and wifi don't work. Reflashed and cleared dalvic cache and still do not work. any ideas?

Did you follow the extended steps of installation in the FAQ. Here are the steps:
-Reboot into recovery
-Wipe Data / Factory Reset
-Install the Main ROM
-In recovery go to Advanced
-Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Fix Permissions
-Wipe Cache Partition
-Reboot
-If at the first boot you can't do the configuration of the google account, skip this step and continue
-When you boot into the system, it's probably that you don't have data enabled (3g, H+) just reboot
-When you boot again into the system the data will be enable and you can do the configuration of Google Account (if you don't do this before)
-This is the moment for install all the extras like themes, fix's, kernels, etc.
Enjoy!!!
thanks for your help!!!

[Q] ROM's problem, bugged phone? Please help

Why every time when i install ANY rom to my galaxy s2 after 2, 3 weeks this rom is crashed? It's start crashing with closing apps "application must be stopped". How to fix it? It's the same in every ROM which i install, it makes me crazy right now...
Still no reply?...
Wipe cache and dalvik cache in Recovery.
Sent from my Galaxy S2 GT i9100
I do it always and rom's are still going to be bugged for 7-14 days.
I think I saw you in Paranoid Rom thread mate. Did you come from GB? Just format everything and start again and report back. Format external and usb storage. Wipe data/factory reset. Wipe cache and dalvik and stats once or twice if you wish. Remove crap from init.d or voltage settings just to be sure. Then once you are happy flash rom. Follow instructions - fix permissions etc, etc..See how you go mate.
If it is a specific ROM you are having a problem with maybe post in that ROM's thread to get quicker replies.
EDIT: Also don't restore settings - start from scratch. Don't always restore App+data with Titanium just app only for now.
Before i had problems with every ROM after few days. Yes i come from GB without formatting storage. Thanks for professional response. That's what i did actually:
1. Format external and internal storage.
2. Wipe cache, Wipe data & Wipe dalvik cache.
3. Flash Paranoid 2.22 ROM.
4. Again point 2.
5. Titanium backup just necessary apps.
We will see how long everything will be fine.
PS. what about fix permission? When to do it? And how to remove this "crap" from init.d?
Point 4: Not sure about point 4 - just the dalvik cache and then select fix permissions here. I wouldn't wipe cache and data/factory reset all over again at point 4.
Point 5: Let ROM boot (will take a few minutes)
Point 6: Run an app or two then reboot to make sure..
Point 7: Begin restoring apps or play with governors etc and whatever you like
The "crap" I meant was if you had any additional scripts or tweaks that are in init.d folder during startup. So they don't interfere on first startup. Never tried a kernel cleaning script/cwm flashable file coz there have been some useless ones in the past but give that a try (someone else may be able to comment here).
Remove voltage settings if you were using voltage control app in GB. Reset to default in Extweaks if you were just using this. (Not sure if all this is necessary because I do this prior to formatting or factory resets - someone more knowledgeable can help here).

[Q] I'm stuck watching the flying colored pieces and it never boots

HI, I followed jacobmacek's instructions twice:
HOW TO INSTALL
1.Wipe Cache+Dalvik
2.Flash ROM, then flash THIS
3.Reboot and Launch Play Store to setup your account
4.Wipe Cache+Dalvik Again And You're Done!
All I get when I reboot is the screen where you see colored pieces spinning and floating . I let it sit for 5 minutes and no boot so I pulled the battery. Did I wait long enough? Am I doing something wrong?.
Santods instructions went a few steps further but I havent tried his method on this rom:
~Suggested Install Procedure~
** PLEASE READ **
____________
Use 4ext Recovery
(not really required, but highly recommended!)
Select Wipe/Format Menu Option
Wipe cache and dalvik
In the same Wipe/Format Menu: Wipe all partitions except SD
Now back in 4ext main menu: Select Tools
Select Format ext3 option
Format Cache
Format Data
Format System
Now go back to the main menu and select the rom .zip to install
Thanks for your help
You need to wipe system as well. Sounds Like your only wiping dalvik and cache. It's the first option in the wipe menu in the recovery I belive.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
OK, i'LL TRY IT THAT WAY, actually Ill use Santod's install method to be safe. I hope he updates his OP so other's aren't misled. (unintentionally, of course)
Alls good now, I followed Santod's instructions on how to install. I am going to assume that is the best way for a fresh install.
