Weird install error - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Weird problem here and wondering if anyone knows what's wrong. Probably going to wipe upgrade soon so isn't important, but it has me stumped.
It happens with a few apps, let's say tune in radio for e.g. Installs fine, but when run it crashes. Fixed it by copying the library files in the package in /lib to /system/lib . The program then works correctly!
No funky mods on phone or anything really but Siyah kernel, all apps from market. Some frozen Sam crapware.
I am stumped now what to flash have an itch, then I shall have to port over PDroid. Heard its doable!.. Surprised it's not out yet...

[mod] [download fix] [ec09] [includes tsm/nameless] [7/10/11]

Here is a little workaround or fix, either way, for the EC09 download problem. I have tried it on stock EC09, replace apk and remove odex file. It also works on TSM and Nameless, I have tried it on all of them.
There are some apk's provided here that if you replace what is currently in your /system/app folder they will fix the download issues.It also makes youtube and netflix work reliably, at least in my case. I have not had others test this out, I wanted to get this out to the XDA community to try out. You have to copy these into the app folder, if you try installing it will fail, I have used root explorer, available in market (not free), and Android Commander, Google it (requires Android SDK setup) to copy these strait to the app folder. your phone will vibrate through most of this it's just complaining about the change. Now for what you really want, the files, ok fine here they are. Please feel free to post results, good or bad, here.

BTW: after every reboot i get a DRM has stopped working message right as everything finishes loading, just click on the Force Close. It only seems to happen on boot and after you close it the app will work fine.
Now you can also get this in a flashable zip courtesy of BakedTator, thanks for the hook up on that.

OK Devs, Hope these help y'all figure out whats wrong with our leak, if not PLEASE feel free to use these.
And an extra little treat, Netflix from the market works even though it isn't available to us yet, so here it is, non modded downloaded and tested with all EC09 builds, and it has worked on every one of them for me.

Can't remember for sure but I think I got them from the nitrality, or something like that, app, in the market. The appear lets you download updated apps for sgs phones. I will find the app again and let you know for sure Jitsu, I don't have that kind of TSM skill YET to mod apps.
Just found it it was the nitrality app from the market.

If you flash a kernel or recovery you have to reboot directly after flashing it. Hence the giant =) SYSTEM UPDATED REBOOT NOW! when flashing either.... If no kernel or recovery then no need to reboot between....

Meh, if this zip isn't flashing a kernel then it can be flashed pretty much immeditately after commrom. The system update text that flashes everywhere is produced by redbend_ua during kernel flashing. bmlwrite doesn't do that. Soo flashing this after flashing the should be fine.

[FIX] Laggy browser with deodexed XXKG1, using odexed browser.apk and framework files

I made this for my own use, after getting annoyed with laggy browser using XXKG1. I like the stock browser, and wanted to "fix" it.
Thanks LeoMar75, I used your odexed files
Flash via CWM.
http://www.multiupload.com/ZNCSCHO5F1
Enjoy!
~Rawat
NOTE: this will NOT work if you use a mod that has made changes to some of your framework files. e.g. madmack.
As always, do a nandroid before flashing.
Reserving this.
Is this basically just an odexed browser? What other files does it touch?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Odexed browser and framework files. Apart from that, it wipes cache. That's it.
So this will overwrite anything that touches the framework like battery mods?
It's a shame there isn't an easier way to do mods than buggering around with the apk's
Thanks for the info!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
You can actually open up the zip, and delete framework-res.apk from the framework folder, and then apply it, and your battery mod will stay
And will it still work? This is on a deodexed rom.

Tried it with lite pro rom v2.2 and it got stuck on first boot logo.. Fortunately i did a nandroid backup first :/
I'm playing around with this as we speak.
VR 2.0 LITE.
So .. first problem I encountered: browser always crashed when I start it up BUT it does work with some kinks. Witch I think I can solve.
So how does it work? Well I am a arstechnica reader. In pulse rss reader (if not a subscriber to ars) you get a few lines from the artikel with a button to read the rest of the artikel in the browser. If you press it, you stay in Pulse reader but the engine of the browser is used to display the artikel at it's correct url.
The engine (with all it's hw-acc glory) works. As in: I can browse the page on ars, the comments, even with video's no problem. No laggy **** what so ever.
But ... the frameworks screws **** up a bit. (I think ) So I tried flashing back my old frameworks ... but it didn't work I screwed up my phone
So as we speak I'm reflashing vr2.0 lite.
So what I'll be trying is flashing JUST the browser part (without the frameworks). Lets see if that helps.
Which files does the browser need to work btw? As in: what files should I keep from frameworks? Or is it possible to just delete the whole frameworks folder?
I don't know what happened here! I took my risk and tried to flash it on cognition rom...I delete first framework apk and when I flashed I got an error E: bla bla bla message..I reboot and....no lag at the browser? I don't get it really I don't! Thanks anyway!

Yes. Do a nandroid before hand to be sure
@people having problems with FCs. Not sure why you'd be having that problem, I didn't have any ._.
I'd suggest wiping dalvik and cache and updating if you still get FCs.
many issues with android can be related to caching mechanism...
My script *should* be wiping it anyway.
For myself, I did it manually.
Hey Rawat, I have always been under the impression that mixing odex and dex was not a good idea and has caused problems before when I was working on sgs roms.
Care to give any insight as to how this is not breaking everything? Very curious as I really don't want to load my rom with dolphin browser.

From http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/dalvik/docs/dexopt.html:
There are at least three different ways to create a "prepared" DEX file, sometimes known as "ODEX" (for Optimized DEX):
The VM does it "just in time". The output goes into a special dalvik-cache directory. This works on the desktop and engineering-only device builds where the permissions on the dalvik-cache directory are not restricted. On production devices, this is not allowed.
Click to expand...

So, if I understand correctly the odexed file is optimized, but you don't _need_ to have it as the OS will take care of it with some added CPU cycles (which we have enough to go around ) and swap it out to cache. But having the pre-odexed code would do no harm - as I take it - as it is preferred in terms of CPU time, but not necessary. By deodexing firmware you're not taking the odex interpreting code out, just taking out the odex itself. Please correct any ignorance in my thoughts, but I don't really see why you couldn't mix and match.
Am I making any sense at this hour with my medication?
on VR2.0, flashed via CWM and it does not say its done? it just reboots itself to ROM.. the app is there, but FCs after a few sec.. tried deleting framework res, clear cache and dalvik too.. if any VR2.0 user managed to use it flawless, do share how did u managed to
Hmm, taking out the framework apk didn't allow the browser to work unfortunately.. Android loads fine, but the browser force closes as soon as I attempt to scroll a webpage.. Looks like this will only work with an unmodded framework apk like you mentioned.
Sent from my SGS2
So i have been toying around with getting this to work on VR2.0 lite ... but as my earlier post (#9) said .. something is screwing the browser app up.
The engine runs pretty sweet. In multiple apps that use the browser engine to display content on the web everything works fine.
But the browser fc every time I scroll a page.
I read in some post that mixing odex & deodex stuff in the rom is not appreciated by the os. So it could be just a known thing I'm diving into. (I need a second phone to start experimenting since I really don't want to brik my phone)
So .. until I have time and the patience to actually learn how this works under the hood .. I have bad news

Preferred modem on MIUI? General MIUI thoughts.

I tried to flash KB5 (CM7) and it was not allowing it... curious what you guys are using.
I am NOT a fan of the modem that comes with MIUI revamped.
Loving the bali kernel so far.. know that it's only going to get better.
I have watchdog installed and "Android Media Process" is using a TON of CPU... not sure why (never an issue pre-miui). Anyone know why this would be an issue?
Finally got swype beta working - let me know if anyone needs help with it.
Customization on MIUI is absurd.
WHat do you mean it wasn't allowing it? KB5 works well for me.
tried to flash and got an odd error.. something about reverting to something else. Didnt really look hard, just rebooted... I need a new modem as this does not work well
Just get whatever modem you want, extract the modem.bin file, using root explorer, copy it to /radio, reboot.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
none of the other files in the modem zips are needed if copied this way? just the modem.bin?

[Q] Why is NFC crashing? Custom ROM help

So I have been following some guides and creating my own CWN ZIP that allows me to quickly flash XWLA4 to the my i777. However, When trying to combine the Hellraier into the same package something doesn't go right. Seemingly the NFC permissions are wrong and it keeps crashing.
However, if I flash the Hellraiser on top everything start working. Any ideas as to what is going wrong in merging the ROM with the hell raiser? I can share what I have, but it seems like All the hell raiser ROMs should have run into it.

That's odd... Did you maybe copy the APK without the libraries?
I copied everything that was in the hellraiser and then modified the script to include the permission changes also
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA App
Can you upload what you are flashing?
If the apk was removed from the rom you'll randomly experience FC's... I NEVER use NFC so I have it disabled. I'd reflash the rom if you continue to have issues.
Finally checked the hellraiser libraries against my packaged libraries. You were right Entropy, I was missing all the libraries from the hellraiser. I guess the DIFF tool I used to make sure I had everything was (in)conviniently hiding all .so files.
Once I fix that I can upload what I have, but it is really nothing more than just XWLA4 rooted, deodexed zipaligned and hellraised.
Ah ok, if you figured out your problem that's fine then.
I was missing all the libraries from the hellraiser.

Yeah...its just replacing the package.xml file in the /data/system directory. The reason people are having problems is the gms or Google Play Services didn't have permission in that file or more simple put all the gms lines are missing from the file So when you went to install it. It checks the file and because the gms stuff isn't there it denies it or you get that shared id error. All this file does is add the gms lines needed for Google services nothing else is changed or modded.

I was having some problems with google maps, so I flashed this just to see what happens. On reboot I was greeted with a few FCing apps, and several apps that seemingly had their data wiped/reset. Some of my android settings reverted to default but not others.

Can you give more information...what ROM are you running, what carrier, are you running any mods or scripts, anything that might give a clue as to why this change might cause your symptoms. I'm interested in reloading some of the older ROMs on a couple spare Rezounds I have (just for the hell of it really) so I'm interested in your experience but I need more information.
Are you sure you had a good download?
Any more information would be a start...

Yup that's what needs to happen. The thing is they need to go in a certain area within the file so I'm doing a little testing to make sure it doesn't screw up. Theres one other thing I'm gonna try is using the permissions folder and creating a separate file and add it to that directory instead of the package.xml

So was this updated? I'm having an issue where Google Hangouts force closes after a while and won't stop until I uninstall and reinstall it, so I was thinking about giving this a try. I think Hangouts ran for 6 days this last time before it started forceclosing.
