Now my head i about to explode
Anyhow, I have an annoying problem.
Before the upgrade to XXALF6 I noticed no problem other than the known drainage of the battery in idle mode.
I rooted and flashed a ROM and it was ok.
But I got sick of the ROM and I hard reset the phone.
No problems.
Then I upgraded to XXALF6 - still unrooted and all.
First thing I notice is that the phone is lagging a bit now and then. Then when I sent and recieved an SMS or two the phone hung and rebooted.
I seems that happend because when vibration was active.
Also there was a new message saying "com.google.process.gapps" stopped working. And that came up again and again.
As far as I could find online that had to do with syncing the calendar and it should help to clear calendar cache in the phone. It did not.
Then I rooted the phone, just "CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4", no other ROM.
Now the problem was even worse and also the sound stops working on and off all the time.
I tried to find the "com.google.process.gapps" with a file explorer with no luck.
I do find it in ROM Toolbox but its not possible to see the where on the phone the file is even there. Also its not possible to uninstall or even kill the process.
I did notice there seem to be doubles of some apps that I didnt notice previously to flashing CF-Root this time.
And I recall the new guide never mentions to wipe any phone data whatsoever during rooting the phone, and now I am thinking that maybe that should have been in the guide?
Anyhow.. appreciate ANY tips at all, Im so sick of this for the moment ^^
Go to cwm recovery, wipe cash, wipe dalvik cash, wipe data/factory reset, then go to mounts&storage, format system. Then put your phone into the download mode and flash ROM again with odin. This should give you a nice and clean install,without any force closes..

I did wipe all things, cache, Dalvik, battery and user data with CWM.
At the moment it seems the phone is quite okay actually! The only thing left is SU.
U think I have to format system as well? What else would really be "cleaned" out that wasn't allready with the wipes?
Trust me,some of the devs insisted on formating system before flashing their custom roms,and I did have a bunch of force closes,until I decided to go their way and fully format the phone. It then installs everything from the scratch,so there's no way anything to go wrong.. give it a try,and report back... btw. make sure that you DO NOT restore any of the system data,if you use TB

Yeah I pretty much learnt same way as predja it is always better to do full system wipe, it is not always necessary with some roms but if you do it you won't come across the problems you have as often.

I am running Das BAMF 2.1 Remix and had a strange issue today that I can't seem to get around. My battery died while I was using the phone, so I plugged it in and promptly rebooted. The lock screen was completely missing. The notification bar is still there, but I can't use the phone. Here is what I have tried:
Wipe Cache and Dalvik and reboot
Put it in a Car dock to Unlock
Reflash ROM after wiping cache and dalvik
Wipe system, cache, dalvik and reflash ROM
Wipe system, cache, dalvik each 3 times and reflash ROM.
I am trying to avoid wiping data because I have only had the ROM on a week and had just got it the way I wanted it so I don't have a nandroid or a Ti Backup (I know, dumb). I think I have most of it backed up, but I really don't want to lose anything else. The only other thing I can think of is flashing the kernel again (I don't think this will help, but as you can tell, I am out of options). Anyone have any ideas or am I just going to have to wipe everything and start over?
Edit: I also can't get ADB to recognize the phone, but I think it because the driver never loaded properly.
Even though it's currently down, go to teambamf.net for assistance. That is where the devs are now that they left XDA

Thanks man, I will contact them. I ended up wiping data and flashing. Fixed it but man it is a pain to set everything up. My market links must have been broken because none of my apps downloaded.
does 2.1 have the tool kit. im not sure if they are all the same but in the sense system settings, you can enable it but i really dont know about 2.1
Tool kit is the same, but what are u talking about enabling?

Hello all. My girlfriend has a Droid Eris, and it's been a great phone. How ever due to it's age and her addiction of anything that says free in the market...lol. I believe her dalvik needs to be wiped. The phone is starting to lag and frame skip horribly, apps refuse to load at times. I've used standard cache cleaners from the market and cleaned things up a little. However I want the clean the dalvik cache.
But the thing is, the phone is unrooted. And she refuses to let me root it. Is there a way of cleaning the dalvik without root? Please help.

Download the one click root App, and root it... Tell her that this App will really work.

I need something i can do on the phone. Because after rooted she doesnt have a computer to download the recovery image. Like amonra

The 1-click root does install Amon_RA without needing a computer. It also puts a rootme.zip flashable file that puts root (i.e, SU) on the stock ROM. It won't overclock without a replacement kernel, but you'll have the ability to wipe dalvik from recovery.
It's in the market: https://market.android.com/details?id=net.andirc.erisrooter&feature=search_result
Thanks for the help. I just need to be able to clear a few things. Her phone is at the point where it doesnt even load apps any more and all they do is force close.

Factory data wipe... Also when I had an eris, I rooted it at work without a pc, all very easy.

Its better to root your device and then clear the dalvik cache.
Since i have rooted and installed the Siyah Kernal, i am experiencing random crashes where apps stop working and the screen goes black for a minute and everything reloads again like as the phone has been restarted. i used a fresh made recovery and everything was ok but i had to reload everything from scratch. it has happened again but this time i can not even get past my pattern lock screen before it crashes and freezes. therefore i cant titanium backup my apps.
i have tried
- Boot to CWM recovery
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache (under advanced)
- reboot phone
I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem.
just in case it matters am using go launcher and just before the phone went funny i was browsing and using apps fine. however today i did use extweaker app and ticked the option to force usb storage, if this makes any difference
thanks.
i was wondering has anyone else had this problem and is there any ideas on why this may be happening.
it may because the phone is trying to do something that is causing a conflict. I believe the only way you are going to resolve the issue is to do a factory reset, to unfo the issue with the force usb storage.

Thanks. For the reply. I was wondering what would be the best way to factory reset with out loosing root but giving me a fresh 4.0.4 with root also should i flash the latest siyeh kernel or stick with what i have. i am running ok at the moment after flashing a recover. but am paranoid it just going to get stuck and freeze on the lockscreen again. this could be a big problem if i need to make a important call or somthing. sorry for spelling mistakes written on my phone
editm i used galaxy s unlock from market. i dont want to loose this either
also most times i install a new app the whole screen just sticks and i have to reboot then it becomes fine again. any help would be appreciated.

Might be worth deleting the .siyah folder and then booting into recovery, flash a kernel cleaning script then siyah or whichever kernel again.

Thats really odd... are you sure you are doing a full wipe when you install those ROMs? Flashing a fresh ROM should just about clear anything left on the phone I dont understand how a fresh ROM could be laggy.
Possibly hardware issues?
Yes im sure i do male a full wipe, even system, really wear,
Sent from my LG-P999
Are you also wiping data. So when your phone boots .... You are having to re enter your information? Also what rom are you currently flashing?

Do you have, or can you install an app like "system tuner" that can tell you how your phone is performing? Like are both cpu's running and so forth?

I had this issue once, drove me nuts until I realized the problem was the modem.
I tried CM a while back (WAY back, actually - pre-ICS) for the i717. It wasn't bad but after a while I went back to stock because for me it just 'felt' better. Hard to explain it other than that. In any case, I've been on full stock ever since and was happy with it.
Then Official JB comes out from the carrier and my phone is laggy as all hell and it's gotten to the point of royally pissing me off to the point that I'm considering my options.
My question is this: Do we know the cause of the lag? If so, is it fixable via custom kernel or something similar, or do I need to go to a whole separate ROM to get away from the problem (and are there any in particular that are recommended if that is the case)?

I've disabled a lot of apps, but I will go back and compare to that list and see about disabling some more that I may have missed. Thanks

Have you done a factory data reset since the upgrade? That seems to clear up a lot of issues too.

I don't recall, but if I had to venture a guess I'd say probably not. I followed the above thread to the 'slow 4.1.2' and disabled everything I could on that list and did a restart, not sure which one did the trick but now it's nice and speedy.Hoping it stays this quick and isn't just a factor of not a lot built up in memory yet. I'll try a factory reset if it bogs down again.
there could also be some existing apps that continue to run in the background.
you might either go into app manager and force close them and clear their cache individually
OR
maybe reboot phone every day or two. clearing any cache build up. kind of a preventative maintinence thing.
if you ventured new ROM, may I suggest Padawawn.
every phone is a bit different, but I have had the best results ever
4.2.2 ROMs perform better IMO. Good luck

i prefer stock as well and was also experiencing lag until i found the right setup for myphone. started out by debloating. then flashed phasekernel_jb.3 and use setcpu or whatever tuner app you prefer and set governor = fantasy/scheduler = sio/min = 384/max = 1728. all phones are different so you may need to try different settings to find what works for yours. i have not had any lag since.
Here is what worked for me. I had the same issue as you and posted it a while back. This also greatly increased my battery life. I suggest that if you are rooted go ahead and wipe the device - in fact do it twice! You will have to reinstall of you your apps but it got rid of all the lag and almost doubled my battery life.

When you said "wipe", did you mean factory reset or TWRP wipe?
If TWRP, which one you wipe? I tried checking all selection and it wiped even the OS!

You wipe the caches. If you wipe system, it will delete the OS and the data wipe will wipe your data of course.

OK.
I am ready to do the factory reset twice. My Note is rooted and have SuperSU. If I factory reset, wouldn't it remove SuperSU also but NOT TWRP?
If yes, can I just install the SuperSU zip from TWRP? No need to re-root?

You will have full root. I always wipe both caches, system and data when flashing a new ROM, its actually the preferred way.

Wait, I already have stock AT&T JB and rooted. I just want to fix the lag and not installing a new ROM. Do I really need to wipe system and data? Wouldn't that wipe the whole OS?
I did the factory reset and want to wipe both caches... errr.. what's the button combination to boot to TWRP? I use "Quick Boot" before..

It can be done by pressing at the same time Volume up and Power buttons until the display lights up, which is when you have to release Power button, while at the same time you should keep pressing the Volume Up button.
If you wish to keep your current ROM DON'T wipe system.
