Samsung Services not working -- FoxHound ROMS?? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have a problem with the Samsung apps/services not working after flashing my S3 with FoxHound ROMS (I am currently on 1.4.4 final but have been using their ROMS since v1.3).
If I look in settings under accounts and sync, my Samsung account has a red circle next to it and at the bottom of the screen it says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". This has been the case for about three weeks (since I started noticing things like my contacts not showing properly in the stock contacts app).
I cannot use S Voice either. Either on Wi-Fi or mobile data. All other internet applications work fine but I constantly get Network errors in S Voice.
Is this a symptom of using a modded ROM and Samsung are blocking my phone or is there an application I should have installed when I was installing FoxHound ROM (has Aroma (??) installer script with lots of extra apps and I didn't install them all).
Thanks all

You should report the issues in Foxhound forum. They will have better idea of what's happening to your phone.

Thought that but clicking any forum links on the http://www.italiancustomstyle.com site goes to http://www.italiancustomstyle.com/Home/?page_id=1046 and just shows a page with "Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here." message...
Anyone have a working link? Gonna trawl through the XDA section for FoxHound.
Thanks

[Q] Cannot add contacts after flashing Batista70 foxhound 2.4

i searched the q&a forums but nobody seems to have this problem.so i made a new thread.
i flashed the batista70 foxhound 2.4 on my galaxy s2 international edition few days back and since then i cant add telephone contacts to my phone. whenever i click the plus button the screen goes blank and returns to the previous screen again and sometimes this message pops up "process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly" force close.
thanx in advance for your help.
Not sure if you have Google+ installed but pretty sure I've read of people having the same issue on other roms. Deleting Google+ fixed it for them.

But this is what is happening, I don't know what to write more. It just shows 8 emails of inbox, I cant scroll, open or do anything with these. Only way to leave Gmail App is to click home button. Sometimes even that is not working. From time to time it looks like it refresh whole screen from left to right with same 8 emails. The phone is top part near camera becoming hotter during this. I am running official 2.3.4 GB.
First check if process Gapps is running or not.. Then..
Try resetting Gmail... Go to settings-> Apps -> all -> Gmail.. then clear cache/clear data... Launch Gmail again...
I've got pretty much the same problem on my S2, though it behaves a little bit different; the left to right refresh/animation is going totally crazy and when I try to leave the application using the home key it almost always opens itself again. Sometimes it doesn't refresh like crazy, instead the Gmail UI is totally unresponsive. I am running a CF-rooted stock 2.3.5 ROM (XWKI8).
EDIT: I've tried resetting Gmail, it didn't make any difference at all..
So, I am not alone. Hope someone will help. Cleared all cache and data settings, all the same. Even was taking battery of the phone for 10 mins - no result.
Is any other Google Apps running ok??. Can you sign onto gtalk properly?
What about YouTube.. Google reader etc... I am asking because.. Some background services need to be running properly for Google apps
Very very strange, my phone has started having this very issue as of today, too.
I've tried deleting the app's data, resets, battery removal, and even uninstalling and reinstalling the app (rooted).
I have no idea where to go from here, so I've since frozen the app..
Edit: Might be a known issue now:

I'm having exactly the same issue. Started yesterday.
Could be related to the fact that the Google search app was updated yesterday? Or the fact that I changed my Google password. Other Google apps fine
having this exact same issue, dont know what happened, been completely fine before yesterday :S
edit: im on a Nexus S but this post came when searching for a solution.
Good to know that I am not the only one having this problem. Let's just hope that Google releases a fix soon!

having the same issue this morning on my Amaze 4g
Same problem here and I have a Galaxy Player 5. At first i thought it was because I flashed a custom rom , but this only started happening recently. Guess I have to use the stock email app in the meantime....bleh...
EDIT: checked out the gmail app from the market. clicked on user reviews and sort by newest. everyone is having this issue.
EDIT 2: the issue has been resolved, for me at least
Solved!!!

acore processes running amok on Jelly Bean

I've been flashing ROMs built on the latest code for Jelly Bean (4.1.1). (The phone is the Galaxy Nexus LTE.)
The battery has been draining fast and upon checking with OS Monitor, I learned that a bunch of android.process.acore processes, sometimes alone and sometimes with another, have been registering high CPU loads continuously until they run the battery down. They are Contacts Storage, User Dictionary, and DRM Protected Content Storage. (DRM is probably not an acore service but it is making trouble just the same.)
I tried winnowing down the problem by deleting the contact store data and resyncing while de-activating third party syncers like HacSync. I even tried cleaning up the contacts via Google on the web. The contacts number only a few hundred. Again, the processes up claiming huge load after the initial sync period.
I scoured the web for reports but have only found mentions dating back to Gingerbread or ICS involving Facebook. Facebook sync doesn't work with JB and again, I have disabled HaxSync.
I also froze User Dictionary with Titanium Backup but that did nothing to keep the process from running, even after a reboot.
Any ideas?
SOLUTION
I figured it out. Unchecking the sync contacts in the Google+ client fixed the problem.
Im just going out on a limb here but have you flashed a different kernel?

Click to collapse
Weapondrift, yes I have. IIRC I flashed to Franco kernel with each ROM. Do you think it is a kernel problem?

[Q] Unfortunately Maps Has Stopped on CM9

I'm running the latest 9/16 build of CM9 on my Note with AT&T and for the last 4 weeks or so have had NO problems. Starting yesterday I was getting "unfortunately, maps has stopped" messages. Got a couple of them, then all was good, today it started again. I reverted back to 9.1 stable but am still getting the same message. I found a thread in the Nexus 7 forum regarding the same issue but no resolution. I have the latest maps version 6.12.0 and have my GNex and Xoom at my desk with me (GNex running on T-Mobile and the Xoom on Verizon) with no issue whatsoever. I did clear cache and data in the map app and rebooted as was one possible solution in the Nexus 7 thread but that didn't seem like it was a permanent fix based on the other comments.
*AT&T is currently converting my area to LTE (outside of Philadelphia) as we speak though I can't imagine that impacting the maps app but I figured I would mention it just in case.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
This may be wildly coincidental, but I experienced the same messages after trying to install Google Now on CM9. I then re-wiped and re-flashed without issue.
I've been running the latest version since it was posted and I have not added anything new...strange I have not had a single error message since 3 this afternoon??

Have you checked permissions for maps ??
Or fixed permissions for all apps ??
Often times the permissions are wrong ...and the app will produce errors or force close ...
Just thinking out loud ...g
Also ....
Maps is highly dependent on the services framework ....
You could also delete your account info and set it up again ......using the data wipe option ...then load maps again ...g
Again ...just a thought ...g
I have never touched the permissions don't know even where to go to check them?? I will do a little research when I get into work and see if I can figure it out thank you for your advice.

[Q] Issues with RR 3.1.3

Hi,
The XDA forum has always my resource for problem solving, but being fully stuck after an upgrade to the Resurrection Remix JB 3.1.3, I'd like to take the opportunity to post, I think my 1st thread. I hope that I am posting this at the right spot, but if not, my appologies.
So, I upgraded my SGS2 from the "old" DLev Rom, 2.3.5 based to the RR 3.1.3, and I have a number of issues. For the upgrade I used exactly the steps prescribed on the RR page, and I hope that these apply to my situation, DLev 2.3.5 to RR 4.2.1.
1. After doing a Titanium Backup restore, I get each time after booting a "exchange service lost" error. The Wifi icon looks like split in 2, and I get the message that access to email is lost. This is weird, as I am not at all using an exchange server, only yahoo and 4 IMAP accounts. As I found out I can however recover from this error by explicitly opening my K-9 email.
2. As I found the RR launcher a bit poor, I started using my LauncherPro. However, in configuring, and more in particular in adding shortcuts to the screen, and scrolling to select an app, the S2 locks up, and a reboot is the only way to bring it back to life. Is it a compatibility issue, or is it something else?
3. And thirdly, I am unable to synchronize with my gmail account. I always get the message that the Google sync is having problems, but please try again later.
Any advice is greatly appreciated, and I'll be looking forward to getting reactions.
Speed and
