Hi all;
as someone already know, I made some ultra cleanings in my ROM (as in my signature). Used system try and see what happens mostly I have deleted some of apks on /system/app and rebooted if it could affect something that I need... Suceeded and my ROM got about 10MB of free RAM extra, so I was satisfied Also made a custom framework, modded the resources (not UOT etc.); just replaced some image files.
Hovewer, few days I found that my ringtone volume is too quiet. So I went into settings > volume and what? FC ! So I tried many other settings and also found that same is with brightness control.
Ï decided that I deleted something that is related with settings - looked into deleted apks in my backup and didnt found anything that yould be related with it... So finally copied back all of apks as are on default ROM from Wolfbreak and rebooted and fixed permissions. But, as I was surprised, FCs were still present ! So it was dissapointed very much and tried to reflash the whole ROM - FCs still present ! -> made Full wipe and reflashed another ROM and FCs still present althought FULL WIPE !!!
Finally, first totally dissapointed with Android behavior, restored the whole backup of ROM, which I made first. Happened two another amazing things:
- lost lockcreen (phone doesnt lock; after bootup lockcreen appears once...)
- lost items in shutdown menu - now I have only Shutdown and Reboot option...
- home button doesnt work (back and menu works), long or short click
So, I am asking for android experts What are these things related to files? I modded framework-res.apk and deleted and restored apks in /system/app. Nothing more...
So I need to point which apks or res are sources are related to this? I will check permissions or try to restore it. Or even where are stored data for responsible apks for these FCs...
Any ideas are surely welcome !!!
The lost option in the shutdown menu are frawework-res,related,and birghtness and volume are settings.apk
I suggest you to restore the framework and settings.apk,put them in your sd card,copy them to system,inside system give proper permissions,and after that mode them to its places,reboot in xrec,wipe cache,wipe dalvik cache,fix permissions,and then reboot.

Yes, know this. Tried it already, but in other order.
Now tried in this orded you suggested and after reboot I lost also PIN unlock page (so phone is out of network) and battery icon shows not empty battery (charged it few hour ago).
It seems that also another files are related to these problems, but cant imagine what else - tried almost everything.
Its weird... I am flashing again stock ftf...

i am currently building a rom for the samsung captivate built off 2.3.5.
The base im using is stock - deodexed/ ziped / minorly changed
this base flashes and works just fine!
what i am doing to it:
remove bloat.
- at&t apps,
- protips.apk
- remove broken swype
- remove stock email (not gmail)
- removed stock launcher
change to hacked camera.apk
remove bootsound
remove shutdown sound
change bootanimation
added user apps in data/apps
added widget picker in system/app
changed default wallpaper in framework_res.apk
changed install script
changed CSC
custom twwallpaperchooser
everything works fine through the install.
but durring the "setup" on first boot " phone setup wizard " will force close right at the step where you setup your google sign in.
BUT THATS NOT THE PROBLEM, (just the first sign of it)
the real problem is any apps installed after flashing do not show up in data/apps
any apps installed through the flash are there, but any installed after ARENT.
and no they arent on the SD card.
the apps will slowly disappear after installing one by one.
when i reboot THEY ALL DISAPPEAR!!!
it seems that the apps install to cache or memory.
as the memory gets cleared or you reboot, they get wiped away!
i have tried various things to fix this
i have rebuilt my rom MANY times.
with and without my framework res changed file
with and without my custom install script
with and without removing stock launcher
with and without changed CSC files.
with and without twwallpaperchooser
if i flash the base i was working from again, all is good.
this only seems to be an issue when i flash data/apps from the zip file. however i have used a script from a rom that successfully flashed data/apps before without this issue, so i do not think it is a permission problem....
im stuck and lost.
more specific, rewritten description i emailed to a few friends
holy hell i bet youve been busy...
me too, i finally have my rom built. for KH2 KJ1 and KJ2 !!
have it down to an easy process now. install script working!
but im having one final issue and cant find any useful info on it anywhere and its very specific
**I know KJ1 and KJ2 install any app to the SD if possible by default. any app on SD will not be affected by this issue ***until it is moved to phone
if I build my rom to install apps to data/app (through cwm flash )- any app that gets installed after (through market or sideload) will slowly disappear after some use or immediately after reboot. they also will not show up in data/app or system/app when installed ** once again not including apps on SD. and if apps on SD are moved to data/app they do not end up there. they disappear.
this leads me to beleive that they are installing to cache or memory, as the memory gets cleared or the phone reboots. they are gone!
if i build my rom without user /data/apps (and without that part of the script).
everything is fine. any app installed after shows up in data/app and is still there after reboot.
i have also used unmodified scripts with and without the package_extract ("data", "/data")
that have been known to work with the original rom they were taken from. without the issue i am seeing.
so i do not think it is a script / permission issue not allowing the system to write new data to that location. but i could be wrong.
my rom is ready for release once i can get this last part figured out. otherwise ill have to release with no user apps... any input would be greatly appreciated.
thanks again!

one search i came across mentioned something about possibly not being converted to rfs, but I have flashed to stock with re-partitioning ( rfs for sure ) and the rom and kernel i am building does not support it so that shouldn't be an issue.
from what other rom builders have told me this is an issue with gingerbread roms.
have apps copied to SD card and ask users to install manually.
Dude just found this post....sorry i was busy with KJ2
glad you got a tempory fix
ya you gave me the fix in the PM! LOL

Hello guys,
I'm facing this problem since v6, what happen is that my accounts and SMS suddenly disappear without any particular action from my side.
What I have in my phone:
Unlocked bootloader
DoomKernel v06 1113
Wolfbreak v7b6
Xloud and Bravia Patch
I have searched the init.d for some reference to SMS, but no luck.
I have searched in the thread for some other people facing the same problem, but it was in the past, where we had the 03repairsms in the init.d, but this no longer exist.
Thanks for any help!
EDIT: Yes, I have made a Full wipe
Not really sure, but i think by installing the Bravia Engine and xLoud, you messed up something in Wolfbreak's tweaks and could cause it malfunction.

Hi there,
I don't think that's the problem, since I installed the tweaked Bravia and xLoud provide by Wolfbreak for this specific version.
Open 01various which is located in system/etc/init.d and delete the following
#perfect mount options
busybox mount -o remount,noatime,noauto_da_alloc,nodiratime,barrier=0,nobh /system
busybox mount -o remount,noatime,noauto_da_alloc,delalloc,nosuid,nodev,nodiratime,barrier=0,commit=60,nobh /data
busybox mount -o remount,noatime,noauto_da_alloc,nosuid,nodev,nodiratime,barrier=0,commit=60,nobh /cache
Try if that solves it
@Wolf,
I have made the changes, will let you know if this fixed the issue.
Thank you.
@Wolf,
No luck, the issue happened again.
I turned the phone off for about 1 hour, when I turned it on again, nothing was there. :/
What you think?

I've had this happen several times, usually when I try to add a different theme (e.g. Envy, ICS Notification)
It erases my accounts, disables the home button, only two options on the shutdown, and weird screen turn off.
Only way I've fixed it is wipe user data again via xrecovery, and/or reload wolf's rom. Try to make backups right after you install the rom before any additional tweaks, saves time when things go wrong
On locked BL, stock v7b6 rom.
I have had this issue as well, exactly the same symptoms,
sms dissapeared
only 2 options on the power button.
However, as a previous post mentions I always keep a clean version of the rom as a backup in cmw, so I just restored that.
Finally, and this is important, use smsbackup to backup your sms...and sync you accounts and contacts regularly...
Hello Greg,
I don't have that issue with the 2 options on the power menu, just the SMS and all accounts deleted.
Just to report, I don't flash any theme, the only thing I flash additionally is:
Xloud and Bravia Patch
Apps Package
Ringtones and Notification
Wallpapers
And that's it.

I will run this full stock (well, wolf v7b6, with patch) for a week and see if anything goes wrong, usually it craps out at 3-4 days if it does go wrong.
@greg
Is there a reason you use cwm vs. xrecovery for making rom backups?
thanks
This is a more detailed edited version of how to install the Resurrection ROM by westcrip...
as have seen too many users that seem to be skipping parts or confused of the installation.
This is also for users like myself, who just started on this site and can't post on Development side to find their answers.
BACKUP your apps of course...but DO NOT backup system data.Repeat!! DO NOT BACKUP SYSTEM DATA. Restoring system data can give you some problems because if you don't know what you're doing, can accidentally replace something from the fixes that screws things up!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART-1
Rom Installation (you MUST follow these steps! )
**Go to recovery mode( Vol UP + Power+ Home and hold until the Samsung Galaxy screen comes on)
1- Wipe data / Factory reset then (can Wipe cache partition or go straight to)
Install ResurrectionV1.1_official_remix_ics_4.0.3_XXLPE_FULL-WiPE.zip
*if you did not Wipe cache, can go straight to install from cache...
but if you Wiped cache then you go to install from external SD card and install 1.0_CWM.zip (this will be touch version)...
then choose - install zip from sdcard. - choose zip from sdcard. Scroll down to Download folder and select ResurrectionV1.1_official_remix_ics_4.0.3_XXLPE_FULL-WiPE.zip.
Please wait a moment.
2-Install gapps_for_remix_v1.1.zip
3-Install gapps_fixer.zip then go back and go to Advanced.
4-Wipe dalvik cache (required)
and Fix permissions and go back to
5-Reboot system
(at this stage it may take a while for first bootup, because we have wiped cache. It needs to rebuild it, so don`t panic.
It may take a while *average around 3-5min before getting to Installing applications screen)
At this stage, boot to system and configure the phone (change language settings, etc).
When finished, again reboot into recovery and follow PART-2
PART-2 (required)
This part it's mandatory here are contained the language, theme, AOSP apps and the T9 dialer if you want it...
or use default. ONLY install one of these:
*note: you're in regular CWM using up and down volue + power button to enter.
If you want the touch - reinstall it like before.
1.- Install the SMSfixupdate-afterboot+T9 Dialler.zip
or
SMSfixupdate-afterboot+default remix dialler.zip
go back
2.- Reboot into system
After finishing the boot it's highly probably that you receive a force close from android phone.
It's normal and it's the only FC that you should get.
Enjoy!
**There is a RAM Manager Fix (When you open the Task Manager app, there's a section called RAM and a button to Clear Memory.
The fix enables that button again... for those not working).
Here is a mirror link for this and other files: RAM Manager Fix and others
PART-3 (optional)
*This can apply to many other files you want to flash.
If you want to install Siyah kernel:
Place Siyah-v3.0rc4-CWM.zip (or whichever version you're using) in the root of internal SDcard memory ("download" folder) and go to recovery mode (Vol Up + Power + Home).
Go to Install zip from SDCard... and select it.
Yes and install... Fix permissions... Reboot.
**battery issues with Siyah?
go to recovery
wipe dalvik
go to "kernel specific options" to reset them or other performance tweaks.
reset kernal
fix permission
reboot
**No more video player?
Get the VideoPlayer.apk file (*have to do a search for it now until I find another working link to it)
and copy it to system/app using something like Root Explorer
Reboot
Hope this helps. I'll edit this when I have time (usually busy with other projects).
*Version 1.2 is out now Check it here.
Good job
Tho make sure you spend a bit of time regularly checking the thread (depending on how much action the thread gets, obviously). Once you make threads like these people invariably ask questions & it's best if the person who detailed the method answers most of them.
Thank you sir.
I will give as much time as I can on this, when questions come up... and I'll be sure to keep up with bugs going on on original thread... though they will be updating this ROM soon to 4.0.4.
When that happens, guess will have to update this lol.
(oh no, what have I gotten myself into )
Language problem
Hello!
Thanks for the thread, really useful for noobs needing help to fix some problems.
I am a noob... and I have a problem.
Everything is working fine, battery is ok, no fc... but language seems to be messed up, I get my language (spanish) in almost all settings and menus, but dialer is invariably in english. Some contacts dialogs show this behaviour too.
Thank you very much in advance!
Thanx a lot, really useful...cant wait for 1.2
SMSafter-reboot is the only fix i needed to fix my dialer fcs issue, after a dalvik cache clean and permission fixing. That was the only way, if some1 has same issue.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Hi Miguel. The ROM is mostly for English and some language settings are off here and there. Mine too shows Chinese characters in some parts. I think this has to do with where the phone is originally from.
Version 1.2 will be out soon (based on 4.0.4) and should have more bugs fixed. I will see if there's anything can be done to help you with Spanish settings.
*glad it's helpful for you guys.
Thanks for a good simple guide.... it is getting pretty difficult to find answers with so many posts in the main thread.
Will you be making a similar step by step guide for ver 1.2 that should be out soon?
If it is needed I will. Will have to wait for it to come out and see if instructions changed. The process will be easier (after what westcrip said), not needing to add gapps fix, etc now I think.
Anyways, if I think needs more detail for newer users, I'll add a new thread for it and post a link here to it too.
Which dialler
I'm a true noob and I'm rooted with CWM installed and I'm giving serious consideration to this rom. My only question at this point is what are the differences btw the 2 diallers and do most folks prefer one over the other?
Hi tlmacson. It's a very good fast and smooth rom with good support. 1 dialer gives you T9 abilities... which means when you start dialing some number, it shows you contact(s) that much those numbers.
But there are some bugs in it not working for some, so recommended to install the default one and add some other app that does the same, or install T9 on after the default.
PS
If you want to give this ROM a try... the new 1.2 version will be out any moment which should have easier installation with hopefully less bugs ^^
I have been using it for a few weeks now. It has run really smooth, the only bugs are very small and do not effect the use of it daily.
I had a few problems with the dialler, so I installed exDialler. I actually prefer it, it has t9 searching and can be skinned to look like ics dialler.
I will definatly give ver 1.2 of the rom a try too.
Yes, that's the 3rd party app people like for T9 use: exDialer
It also allows you to give it black theme.
HELP!
Cyber i'm wondering if you did test the 1.2 PRO resurrection I want to upgrade to it but i don't know if it is a FULL WIPE or not because westscript didn't mention it also there are no GAPPS and FIXER within the thread can you please confirm for me this?
I think that I may just do that since I'm not having any real issues with the leaked "stock" XXLPQ. I appreciate your advice and dialer explanation.
nHorus - For v1.2 it works better if you do a full wipe Do a full wipe(factory reset+cache+dalvik cache), though you can try without it.. and just do the factory reset. Then install ROM and Siyah kernel and reboot to do initial setup. Then comeback to recovery mode and install navigation button fix and app themes, reboot.
Test
Thank you cyberboob.
I will try 1.2 and see how it goes, anyway I will install exDialer to fix my languages "problems" (it is not a dealbreaker but is disturbing seeing some dalogues in other language).
According to 1.2 changelog this version is promising.

thank you. i'll try without the wipes
Sorry.. a full wipe is needed again (or more bugs will be present).
Follow these steps:
Do a full wipe(factory reset+cache+dalvik cache)
Install the Main ROM
Install Siyah-v3.0.1-CWM.zip
Reboot
Do the initial setup of things
Go back to CWM and install navigation button fix
Reboot
Then go back to CWM and install app themes (there are some bugs, but if you want the black themes, then install classic first, then black)
Reboot
Some people have other issues after, but see how this goes.
I would change the DPI settings to 184 or 210 for everything to work fine from market apps.
*Also westcrip will post a new fix update for some new bugs reported by some users.

I know I'm showing my "noobness" but I thought that the kernel was part of the ROM; so how do I install the kernel after the ROM?
Same way you installed the main ROM.. go into recovery mode and select the folder you placed it in (usually internal sd card "download" folder) and flash it "yes". Fix permissions if want and reboot. Same with anything else you need to flash/CWM after/before.
SOLVED! After a very hard(and also boring) process of clicking in ok button and doing one action per time, I finally got put the original copy of my SystemUI into '/system/app' folder
I was playing of "Let's mod this SystemUI to learn about it", but then i repaired that I had no idea of how replace the original SystemUI by mine... Then I had the stupid idea of convert the original systemui into a user app using ROM Toolbox...
Results: i lost my systemUI, everything opens fine, but status bar is gone and the worst, a error screen informing the "com.android.systemui has stopped" every 5 seconds, which forces me do one action before error screen appears
My question is, there's anyway to install my SystemUI or recover the old one(i have bkp of the apk) without factory reset?

Delete old systemui apk replaced with one that works then fix permission to rw-r-r and reboot. Or dirty flash no wipes. All else fails do a full wipe and reflash.

The main problem was solved, I learned how to "install" SystemUI.apk, now I'm in trouble with my custom SystemUI.apk that crashs too. I just can't compile a single SystemUI that don't crash :/
However at least i can use my phone normally
Everytime I reboot my phone and it boots up, this notification appears saying cant find your location. It goes away in about 2-3 seconds. I have checked my location settings and eveything is on except for location history. I don't know what is causing this. Also, I have noticed around this same that this started that there are times when I phone lags quite a bit, it doesn't do it all the time and it seems to happen randomly. I don't know if these two issues are related or not. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Anyone have any suggestions?
Well what rom are you on? Have you made any changes to the build.prop? have you modified your gps.config file? These are all thing that can cause this and here are some fixes:
*New rom (cm 12 works nice)
*Go and do a 100% unroot and factory reset (Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089 -Not my fault if your device(s) break).
*You could go and redownload the rom you are on then do this:
1) Extract the .zip file
2) Locate the gps.config (Name my be different)
3) Place it in the right spot/fix premissons
4) Work?
5) Don't blame me if something happens make a backup!

I am on the bar rin rom. I have not made any changes to the buildprop.
I'm on BarRin, and haven't noticed any GPS problems.
Try going into the application manager and clearing cache for LocationServices. It won't hurt to go into TWRP and clear cache and Dalvik cache, either (It's under Wipe, Advanced). No guarantees, but it could help.
