This isn't really a problem or anything but I just flashed back to stock for the first time since I changed me rom and I noticed some differences from what actually shipped with my phone. One or two of the bloatware was gone but what actually bugged me was the camcorder app was gone too. I can still access the video camera through the regular camera app though. I just thought it was kind of weird, that's all. But it got me thinking if it is actually stock or altered stock.
Anyone else notice anything like this?

Something is definitely wrong. I tried restoring with a different pda and I got even more bloatware missing including latitude, navigation and many others.
Could someone please give me a link to a pda that is ' complete'?

I dont believe there is one....as far as warranty issues if thats the case...dont worry about it....they aren't looking to see if its a perfect stock build.
Navigation, latitude, places....comes in one package you can get from market..."google maps"

Hi! I don't know if this is the right place to post my problem or if it has been already discussed. I have created a custom rom which suits best my needs. The base is the italian lg stock rom. Everything went good except for the fact that now I have problems with GPS ... what happens is that I turn on GPS, I activate Google navigator and I must wait more than 15 minutes to get the signal. When I get it, my position is completely wrong! I didn't do anything bad when creating the rom. I used disxda's kitchen and just removed some apps to add others. I didn't touch anything else! Does anybody know what I could do to solve this really bothering problem?

i did the same as you and have the same problem. and i think it happens with all custom roms. would like to know how to fix this too
LG-P500 is in most of cases odexed, if you remove a stock app you can get problems like with gps, WiFi, contacts or others.
Odexed means, there are still dependencies in APK's - have a look in your logcat and search for errors or null pointer exceptions.

Uhmmm... well, does it mean that when you deodex the rom something goes wrong? What if I leave my rom odexed? Should this solve my problem? I've just started now to understand certain things but in some cases I am a noob! Thanks for your reply

Same here..GPS sucks on this phone ...I m thinking of flashing my phone with KDZ and then stock firmware and then switching to "signed-kernel.zip" kernel that is free from that touchscreen bug posted by mik_os
First off I want to say that MacRom is the most stable/speedy ROM I've used so far (thanks for all the hard work!).
Just a couple issues with the new MR8 update:
1. The new market seems to be really slow? (maybe just due to the older Eris' lack of speed?)
2. I don't know if this is a market related issue or not, but I can't install a couple apps I use. The market doesn't give me an option to even download them: Words with Friends and Google Books. I'm not sure if it's related to the new market or if the apps are somehow incompatible with the new MR8 update?
3. Is there a way to get rid of the blue line that appears whenever you tap the screen to make a selection? I've been searching but have yet to find a way. The line just kind of annoys me, personally.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I love this ROM! Thanks!
Dude the same thing has been happening the past two days for me on Deadly and Spicy ROMs. For instance I had not been able to get Titanium but I got my Pro key fine, and same thing with XDA, regular worked fine but couldn't download premium. I took a nap earlier and woke up and had premium I'm about to check Titanium so it may be a Market issue.

Good to know. Hopefully it's just a market issue then, but still no luck for me...
same here
i too am wondering why i can't download certain apps from the market, like facebook for example. it's not already installed and i get no download button for that app in the market...but i get download button for most other apps.
also wondering about how to get rid of blue bar on menu selections.

I've seen the same issues with MR8 and MR9... I'm looking into the issue, but haven't found a work-around yet. I'm thinking it may possibly be a result of the build revision bump to 2.3.5 that might be throwing the market off (showing the phone as incompatible with your device), but it's only a theory, no fact to that yet...
Glad to know I'm not the only one as I have been having trouble downloading my premium apps too. I flashed 2.3.5 yesterday. I'm a noob so I was wondering what I Fk'd up... LOL!

Having the same problem on cs's cm7 rom...
Sent from my ERIS using XDA App
I've tried everything I can think of or find in this subject but I can't figure it out.
I'm getting FCs all over and seemingly randomly.
There's no one program doing it either.
I've used cyanogen 7 7/17 version with glitch kernel (both 11 and 12) and the v3 kernel. Maybe the stock but I don't remember.
Also flashed the dl09 or which ever radio was recommended for cm7 on the ROM list sticky.
Tried the nighties and am on not the recent one but the one right before it with stock and glitch 11 and 12. Also tried before and after v6 super charger which seemed to make my launcher before faster and without the stopped responding dialog.
I also use the ultimate kernel removing script between kernels.
Here's what I've already done to try to fix it:
Wipe big 3. fives it for awhile then starts up in force.
Wiped to stock 2 or 3 times. Still happens.
Fixed permissions. Works longest so far but still starts up again later.
Wipe cache and data in manage applications settings menu for creasing programs. Works for a while usually but then goes
back to crashing.
I followed ask instructions to install everything properly.
The only thing is that
do I need a special bootloader with nighties and stock kernel?
What am I missing here? It seems like it's related to wifi because I can keep things stable a little longer with wifi off but it is not always 100%. Definitely related to internet. Also seems like the cache reaches 2-3 megs when programs crash
browser seems to be more likely to crash. Will crash constantly and I'll open up Firefox or opera wends everything is peachy. I think neither ox those browsers crash from what I can tell.
Oh and could it be gapps somehow. I'm not sure but it might be a case built that all the crashing programs are gapps.
I've tried the new version 2.2.5 I think posted somewhere and the original 2.2.3 I think. I'm pretty sure they both crash.
I'm maybe to frustrated to see what's right in front of me and I maybe have forgotten an important detail so please forgive and I'll be happy to provide any info.
This is near perfect and that's the thing that's holding me back right now.
Anyone else have this happen to them? Any advise?

How did you originally come to cm7..ie. What was your previous rom and kernel prior to making the switch?
What steps did you take to get to
mtd format?
And lastly I read your whole OP but am still unsure if you've tried Odin'ing a stock VZW official rom to start from scratch? (ie. Eb01,dl09, or ed05)
Edit: Also did you restore any apps or system data via titanium backup?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I've come to cm7 at least twice from a stock froyo ROM. I followed the directions in the sticky exactly. At least twice.
I did restore titanium but not from non-mtd. I reinstalled every app one by one after upgrading.
I'm thinking it might be the wrong gapps. If browser is a part of gapps, I'd betting on it then. It seems the fc's might all be related to
the various gapps.
That's the only thing that I can think if that I haven't tried.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
Here's the latest gapps.zip includes market...don't know if you've tried this oneand I don't think it contains anything for the browser, but i'm not sure...its for Mtd builds.

Edit: i'm also assuming you've ran fix permissions via cwm or terminal emulator right?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I'm making you assume a lot, sorry. Yeah. Did all that.
I'm trying to isolate it. I'm seeing that the force closings are maybe not so random.
It's the browser, google services framework and programs that I guess rely on browser. They are programs that access the http protocol. Reddit/f5, Chan browser etc. I've yet to have a program crash that was not accessing the internet like chuzzle.
Gmail does sometimes too.
Anyway, if they fc I go into manage applications and usually clear cache for the offending program Anne it works again until the cache gets up around 2 or 3 megs give or take.
I know people have been complaining about the data cutting in and out on this ROM so maybe that's involved.
I originally thought it was wifi because it seemed to only happen on wifi but i'm getting it on 3g but not as often.
I'm thinking that the data appears to be on but isn't and it's confusing programs but then there would be others with the problem. The other theory is that my cache space is fried.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
In case someone finds this buried down here with the same issue, here's how I think I fixed it.
Wipe data again. Make sure you let the gapp installer install everything itself.
Titanium backup: restore missing apps (double check for went google apps) and data. Or hand install your apps and restore data.
I have the install location set to original.
That seemed to work even with the seeming wifi cut out and the whole thing.
I also didn't install Firefox or opera this time. That shouldn't be the problem but i'm recording it here anyway just in case.
Good luck

I've had alot of different roms over the past few weeks and not a single problem.. CM 7.1, Batista, etc etc.. but now after trying to flash a stock rom since I wanted to go back to normal, anything I flash from now on get's the whole phone into 256 color mode or something. It's really annoying as everything is just plain ugly, even the background/icons all over.
What could one do to fix this you think ?
Searched a while but didn't find anything about it, not even google.
Can probably add what I've tried so far..
Flashing Siyah Kernel - No success
Wiping cache/factory/data etc etc.... - No success
Flashing random roms to try and see if it works when wiped and new rom.. - No success..
Take a picture of it please.
On my way home now. Will take a pix at once I'm home.

You can see it mostly on dark surfaces, and on "transitions".. even on camera pics. Just seems to be a weird contrast or something like that, everything is like more grey then usual aswell, even the battery picture when charger is connected and you have it turned off.
Have you tried connecting with Kies for a firmware update?
I had the same problem as you I think, cant really tell from the picture but once I updated with kies and rebooted all was fine again.
Fixed it by flashing a couple of kernals and stock roms from the original roms thread by Intratech.
YAY! =)
And after a simple reboot it's back. Hmm.

Uninstall Kies, and delete the samsung folders in appdata/local and appdata/roaming in your user directory.
Reboot and install again.
I assume you use windows 7 or vista. Not sure about XP, been a while since I used it.
I have exactly the same problem on my galaxy s2.
It happened to me after I installed batista70's ROM on my phone..
Whatever I do now, I tried 4 different stock roms, there's still heavy color banding and it looks like the display has got a lower resolution...
For example in the microbes live wallpaper the microbes are bigger and the black background has got some grey tones that do not blend in very well but are like banded.
Maybe you installed chainfire3d and ticked reduce texture quality..

It happened after installing stockrom+kernel, so no.
Did anyone find a solution for this?
It seems I have the same problem and it won't go away, no matter what I flash.
Seems like it's related to Samsung's mDNIe image processing engine.
I flashed cyanogenmod and fiddled around with the mDNIe settings, a few reboots and it seems to be fixed!
Weird that these settings seem to be carried across between roms, including full factory resets, wipe everything in recovery and flashing factory roms. I wonder where they hide to avoid getting reset??
Same for me after flashing founded on internet stock Orange rom GT-I9100_IDE_I9100BVKE2_I9100BVKE2_I9100IDEKE2. After that I had MIUI ics, and now Vanila rom, but this ****ty colours remained.
Voodoo Screen Tuning app is some sort of solution, but settings are not saved in the system and after reboot they are lost. (for me native SM2 A2 line looks like originals colors)
I say poop! Seriously, it happened to me too and did exactly what you guys did with the stock rom. I guess I will fiddle around with the CM too. Do you remember which settings you changed?
Yesterday I flashed official rom DXKL3 from here and colours finally are fixed.
Same problem after screen replacement.
Fixed by flashing stock DXKL3 as stated above.
Hi there,
SOLVED THE ISSUE MYSELF. SORRY FOR BOTHERING YOU GUYS.
----EDIT:
IGNORE THIS, I JUST FIXED MY ISSUE. THANKS FOR LOOKING HERE ANYWAY.
I'm using a stock Touchwiz 4.1.1 rooted Samsung s3 international version. I flashed a few mods from the Omega kitchen rom (camera and a phone mod). The replacement camera broke the stock camera app and the phone mod broke my contacts app.
The issue wasn't that bad as the contacts app could still be used, the only issue was that the app would crash if I tried to make additional edits to existing contacts. The camera app was totally broken, but that wasn't that bad either as I could use alternative and better camera apps. Nonetheless, still annoying so I endeavored for an easy fix.
Some folks on XDA forums advised I do a re-flash of the same rom without the wipe. I did this with odin, but the result was odin has stopped progressing 2/3rds of the way in. I am just stuck on the "downloading do not turn off target" screen. It's been hovering at this point for the past 20 minutes. The phone is still plugged in this very moment.
What should I do? I haven't tinkered with this phone a whole lot. It's mainly stock, with only few alterations. I've used Odin three times before, once to flash the new stock 4.1.1 and another time to fix a sift brick caused by installing the "Beats by Dre" audio drivers. Both to smooth success.
But now when the issue seemed less than ever before, it's stuck in odin, not progressing at all. I'm worried and have come here for your professional wisdom!
Thanks in advance.
A tad worried. Hope everything is going to be okay. >_<
Thanks in advance.
Hey OP,
Can you please post what you did, in the case that is this happens what do we do?
did you brick?

Alright so there was no issue apart from I tried to flash the phone mod and camera mod from omega jb kitchen (you get it from the playstore). This broke my. Camera and contacts app respectively and I couldn't get them back even after replacing them back with stock apks.
So I re flashed my existing rom with the same with odin but it stopped halfway - and sat there without doing anything.
The solution? Use a different USB cable and don't use the computer too much while you're doing the flash it may interrupt it. After re flashing everything was fine.
