Foxhound updates - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Looking for bait of advice I have been running version 1.5.4 Foxhound Rom which lately there seems to be an update for every other day.. now the problem is if I want to update to the new version I have to wipe all my data and start fresh if I don't and install the new Rom without wiping everything then it won't boot up and freezes at either the starting apps point or the finishing boot point which is more than little annoying! I've tried to follow the instructions on the thread from here fixed permissions etc etc but it will not play ball.. I've tried updating then restoring my data after and still the same.. any suggestions would be greatly received

[Q] SGS2 CM& Market Force close Issue

Hello,
I am in desperate need of help. I recently flashed my SGS2 with CM7 and everything went well. I also flashed Gapps as recommended by the CM website.
I was able to download my application back from the market but not I am not able to as the Market keeps on force closing. I cannot install/ download any application and I am in desperate need of some of my applications.
Steps taken:
clear cache and data
Flashed gapps
installed a newer and older version of Marketplace.apk
cleared Dalvaik cache
Select English (Canada) in setting (as I found this to work for some users)
I did pretty much every I found and can think of in short of flashing my ROM again.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
did I mention I'm a noob

CM10 and gapps-jb-20121128-signed.zip

Hello guys,
I tried the new version gapps-jb-20121128-signed.zip with CM10, but it is not recommended. The playstore will not work anymore and the keyboard process will stop.
Question, flash doesn't work in the browser? I installed gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip several times but still flash is not working.
Somebody any idea how to solve this?

Hi,
Managed to solve this issue by reinstalling the previous gapps and then reinstalling the firmware. Hope this info helps.

I also had problem with this update!!!!!!!
Problem with 28 Nov. GooManager received update for Jandycane 1.8
(updates jandycane 20121020 and gapps 20121011 done on 09/11/12)
........................
On 28 November GooManager automatically downloaded the following: gapps-jb-20121128-signed.zip
On the 29 November I flashed this on my first gen. Kindle Fire
As follows:
first did a Backup then wiped Cache and Dalvik and then started update - gapps-jb-20121128-signed.zip
after starting update got a Dalvik cache Directories wipe complete message (then)
Verifying Filesystem....
Verifying partition sizes...
Install ........ gapps-jb-20121128-signed.zip
Finding update package
installing
......
......
(and finally)
Installation Complete!
(then once again under this the texts)
Verifying Filesystem....
Verifying partition sizes...
But there it seems to have stopped (completed?)
And under in TWRP I have the options: Wipe Cache/Dalvik - Home - Reboot System
I decided to choose Reboot system
The following happened:
I got a message "upgrading Android apps"
then it started in the normal ("turning mirror bits") loading window
then the usual password window
but the keyboard wouldn’t open!!! I couldn’t get past the password window
also I notice that the WLAN was no longer on/active (it had been on during the process)
I tried several reboots – still the same
I eventually decide to do a restore of Backup – this was successful!
I have no idea what is or went wrong
Is there something wrong with this gapps-jb-20121128-signed.zip it certainly seems like it?????????
Any other experiences?
I've had the exact problems you both describe running a clean flash of nightly with CM10 on a Nook Color. Everything is great until gapps-jb-20121128-signed.zip is loaded, then keyboard is disabled, crashes, etc.
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121128-signed.zip appears to have been removed from goo.im

Hi, and thanks for replying - now I know for sure it wasn't me that screwed up, wasn't sure!
Glad to hear that it has been removed - but that's really bad - sending out a really bad update like that - lucky we didn't end up with Bricked devices - really frustrating and not a nice thought at all - I'm really grateful for whoever it is that does all this work...but...putting something like that out ... that is scary ........ don't know if I will now trust the next download(s)!!!!!!!!
who is it that does these gapps anyway?

Crashing since yesterday's update?

I have been using Omega rom for many months however recently the phone started to lag very bad, so I tried updating it to the latest update of Omega,however there was no improvement even after a clean fresh install.
So I decided to go back to a stock rom not realising I needed certain functions that only a custom rom provides.
However ever since the loading of the stock rom and re-rooting the phone, every custom rom I have tried, Omega and Sensation, after start up when installing the rom, within 5min the phone just crashes and I cannot do anything unless I take the battery out.
Why would this crashing keep occuring and what could I do to resolve this issue?
Just tried tried flashing Sensation again and installed fine but within 2mins of completing the install, it crashed and I had to take out the battery and reinsert to finish my first time setup, which this time completed.
I then allowed the phone to reload apps trhough google play and within 5mins of installing it again crashed although the charging icon is moving but I cannot select anything on the screen...

did you try full wiping ur s3 and then reinstall omega

When you say full wipe, do you mean through CWM?
I did wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik.
Installed rom will full wipe selected.
After installing, wipe data and cache again.
Still crashing...
Omega problem ask in the Omega thread makes a lot more sense .

I had the same issue with Android Revolution.
Since reverting to stock rom, things seem fine now...

Random freezing

So I have had some weird issues. I was running on Slimbean when this started. Out of nowhere my device started freezing from time to times, like if I was writing a text message or something. Everything would just stop and then I had to reboot the system to get it functional again. This started to get annoying so I did a clean reinstall of Slimbean, formatted system and cache etc. That didn't help so I decided to change the rom. I installed another AOSP rom, Carbonrom but that did't help (of course I did a clean install). After that I decided to try if changing the rom to Sammy based would help. I was wrong.
At this point I taught that something with my hardware would be broken. So I installed triangleaway, formatted system and then installed samsung's official firmware with odin. Then I did a factory reset from system settings. My plans were to send the phone to warranty but strangely after running the stock rom for about a week, the freezing problems were gone, when earlier it was a daily thing.
So now I'm wondering what could have it been and why? If I reroot and install a custom rom now, will the freezing start again?
Hi there,

[Q] "Systemui has stopped" - Carbon rom

I just rooted my HOX+ and installed CWM and flashed 23/06 Carbon nightly on it. For a couple of days everything was fine
until today when it said "Unfortunately.. blah blah.. systemui has stopped working". Every time I boot up the phone it gives me
this message and I can't do anything. Rebooting doesn't help, I tried wiping everything and reflashing, still nothing. I did some
research and found a thread about face unlock might causing this. I disabled the face unlock but didn't work. I don't know if it's
caused by some google app cuz when I reflashed everything, including gapps, first there was no problem, but I think when it was
installing google search the error message came again. Have anyone else experienced this error? Any solutions?

Same here. It started yesterday. Tried to flash older and newer ones with full wipe including cache and dalvik cache, but it still does not help.
I flashed a sense rom (ARHD) and wiped nearly everything on the phone before I installed the new rom. I did multiple factory resets, multiple dalvik wipes, multiple cache wipes and I formatted the whole system a few times (=format system). Afterwards I flashed ARHD and my phone works brilliant now. Try this I hope it works on your devices!
I made a fresh install of Carbon on my HOX+ last week (CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140802-1713-enrc2b, fwiw), and it worked just fine up until last night when I encountered this exact problem. The official enrc2b Carbon thread contains a post that would seem to indicate that the problem is with Google Plus (though there isn't much in the way of evidence).
In any case, completely wiping and re-installing the phone appears to be a solution, but I would submit that it's temporary - if the problem is some sort of incompatibility with one or more Google Apps, then the issue will simply return at some point.
Hopefully the root cause will be determined and a fix will be forthcoming. Until then, I suspect we're all just sitting on time-bombs.
i think the problem comes really from the google+ app.
i did a clean install after the crash with the small pa gapps, wich didn't contains the google+ app.
Then i reinstall al my apps one by one except g+ and now everything works perfect again.
It's a little bit more work, but the only way i know to fix..
Hope it helps
I had the same problem with Carbon. I've installed Carbon a view days ago (comming from Mokee) and after the latest G+ Update my SystemUI stopped. A dirty flash didn't solve the problem.
So I restored my Mokee Backup and here everythink is great (with the latest G+ update)
