[Q] Google Now & [ROM] CM9 / LiquidSmooth / AOKP / Random ICS - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I LOVE this rom and it makes the Thunderbolt more current and removes all the bloatware (Which, IMHO, includes Sense. Don't have a problem with Sense per se, but I do on phones that it makes sluggish, like this one).
What I am wondering is if there is a way to update Google Now on this rom (which is part of the extras of which I am grateful). Apparently Google just released an update to Google Now and Im wondering if there is a way to get that update onto a phone with this ROM.
Thanks!

I think you would have to see if a new version has been custom made for ics. Just Google Mikey Google now ics and you'll find out.

I am still getting bootloops with the latest release from twisted. I notice a new software when up and I did a dirty flash and nothing. and I tried a clean install and i still keep getting bootloops. I am using 4ext. for your information. any help would be appreciated. I went back down to 12/13 built from twisted before the bootloops started happening.

Is there a way for me to get the 12/13 build to try? I only have from 12/16 up or so and it stays stuck in bootloop.
Never mind, I found all of the builds :-/

I was able to solve my bootlooping issues by restoring the boot partition after flashing the rom. It works with dirty and clean installs. I've used this method successfully with all builds after 12/6. Let me know if you need any additional information

HTC EVO 4g LTE - Google Apps crashing after root - Help please

I've been struggling with this for about a week and I am not able to figure this one out. I hope someone here can give me a hand.
I've unlocked my phone using HTCDEV and rooted using TWRP 2.4.3 gaining root and recovery access. All seemed to work well but every GOOGLE app crashes now on start up. I can't go to the market as it crashes "Unfortunately Google play store has stopped". It does this with all Gapps.
I've flashed the GAPPS through recovery since I can't access Play.Google. and it made no difference. I can't log in to Google accounts as soon as try it gives me "google account manager has stopped".
I've tried to RUU back to rom 3.16. but RUU fails to update the phone although the restoral screen shows the scrolling dots indicating it is updating, but it goes on forever. the bootloader shows "TAMPERED" "Unlocked" and this came after using FASTBOOT OEM LOCK command in an attempt to reflash the unit. I have tried to flash to other roms like CM10 but it only gets to the point of the spinning logo and just sits there and spins, etc. Other roms get stuck as well in the first boot up logo of the rom or give a black screen. I can use TWRP to restore the backup each time so the phone works seemingly ok except for anything with Gapps.
I assumed I can't not flash JB roms without S-off and I tried to use Dirty Racun to obtain S-off but I get errors with each step so gave up on that for now. I've resolved myself to sticking with the stock rooted rom but I can't do much without Google Voice which is my text and phone account.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me? I've searched the forums here and elsewhere for dozens of hours and have not been able to find a solution for this or any help that might help me "stumble" into a solution. I don't mind flashing another rom if I could get one to take hold just so I can get this unit working.
I think the TWRP recovery or a old verion of Superuser might have caused this glitch. I did the rooting and recovery using this guide here htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-lte-root/how-to-root-htc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery and the provided TWRP would not accept any input so I replaced it with 2.4.3.0 and recovery then recovery seemed to work and backup/restore but still can't flash any roms successfully. I didn't notice Superuser v0.87 here as being old (my goof) and didn't get a more recent version until after the flashing was done. LIke I said, where I'm left at now is everything seems to work but anything having to do with Gapps just crashes on start.
Any help please?
Couple things you could do if you wanted a new rom. First go to the q&a section there is a sticky titled don't panic it will let you know to fast boot the bootimg for being son or find a rom that has son kernel installer for sense mean bean does

I had this issue today when I flashed viper 4g ROM before doing my s off. I tried every approach and what I ended up doing is a factory reset, cache wipe, D. cache wipe, Android secure wipe, sd ext. wipe (I always do the wipe 3x in a row on each) then I reinstalled my viper rom (comes with the latest google apps) and off I go. Solved all my google sign in related issues. You could also try to locate a downloadable version of goomanager which will automatically check for the latest version of gapps that is compatible with your rom and download it. Doesn't need to have a google playstore link to work either.

Thicklizard, Thanks, I'll check this out now. Are you saying the rom Mean Bean is a ROM and might take hold flashing it with my s-on situation? Is MeanBean an xda developers rom? I've always had good luck with just about everything from XDA, so would love to try it. My hope is a new rom would solve whatever "hell" my phone is stuck in. Thanks! I'll see if I can find it.

dominicsdad, I'm going to check out what was suggested about Mean Bean but I did try several JP type GB apps, etc. None of them would restore the function. THis has been so frustrating. I'm a guy that can folllow the posts and the guides I read, etc., but not having the core understanding or depth shows it's ugly face for a non-connected guy like me. WHy did you do an SD wipe? That's where I keep my backups which have been the only thing that has let me get back from a few botched rom attempts. I will try the goo manager if I can find a flashable version since I'm locked out otherwise with any kind of app install. I was surprised to see the EVO LTE didn't have a file manager as I was going to try and just install google voice which would at least allow me to use the phone.
THanks!

Update, I installed Mean Bean and solved my problem. It gave me a scare thinking it would backfire with the 2 duplicate rom installs it requires but I had to put some faith in something working and it worked. Thank you for getting me on the right track!!!!!! Bill

Can't install a rom? Any Rom.

I'm wanting to install [ROM][AOSP]LiquidSmooth-ICS-v1.5-MR3[10/02/2012] But I can't get it or any other rom to install. I'm running ota ics with root and all that good stuff. I don't know all that much about the thunderbolt because I'm always had Motorola and my nexus 7. When I try it just doesn't do anything. Fails. I have been trying for months but have taken a long break from it due to just giving up. But now my phone is trying to push a 20 Mb update that just makes my phone not boot because of my recovery.
which recovery are you running as its known 4ext has issues with ota ICS. also did you check the md5 to make sure they match. it sounds like its not downloading right and your download is getting corrupted.

The problem is that you downloaded the second update that Verizon pushed out. It wasnt very big since it only patched some apps to update them, updated the cdma radio and fixed an hac audio issue people were having problems with. I doubt it will work but try flashing santods ota killer v2 and then clear caches in recovery.

I'm really more worried about installing that liquid smooth rom rather than the annoying update. I just defer it everyday. I have downloaded it SEVERAL SEVERAL times and it always does the same thing. I tried again last night and It made me remember what exactly happens. It does install and boot but I can't get signal at all and then the whole rom just stops working. Doesn't let me do anything. The whole updating applications or something.

Can't get any ROMs to run without issues

Okay, I was running infection 2.5 for about 2-3 months. I tried to upgrade to 2.8.1 infection last week, but kept getting random wifi/date drops constantly. I tried Tron for a few day, but that kept hanging up. I tried Xenion??, but that also had the wifi/date drops. Now I have tried Vanilla. It was running fine all day yesterday and today, but now it stuck in bootloop.
What gives. Any advice? Should I reflash an RUU and update?
I am S-off; H-boot 2.28 and radios 2.23....
I never had this many issues with different ROM before. FYI, I have tried different kernals, different governors, etc... It also seems my phone is running hot with battery temps over 110* constantly.
Please help.
(Edit: Before someone asks, I have wiped, and wiped, and wiped even more, total clean install of apps, etc...).

I wish I knew how to. One day I may learn. I just switched to a Sense rom (Nils 4.0), just because I could not get out of bootloop earlier. I am going to let that run until it a) either acts up or b) until I have time to toss on a new rom, RUU, etc...
Go for a cm9 ROM maybe. There super stable, I used them before cm 10.1
I use the unofficial cm 10.1 rom now

Constant issues with rooted S4.

Hi all,
Long time lurker of XDA and Android user/modder since before Gingerbread. I want to apologize in advance if this post is either in the wrong section, and/or if something similar has already been answered/solved in another thread. I did multiple searches with nothing coming up as a direct hit, or even close for that matter.
I recently purchased an S4 from VZW (Mid-Late July). I rooted and installed TWRP 5.2.0.2 (Forgive me if that's not the exact version...) and flashed AOSP ROMs here and there. After a month or so, I started coming across an issue within all ROMs where I couldn't receive or make calls without my phone either freezing or rebooting. Anything I flashed, or modded, failed to remedy this. I tried different GApps packages, 4.2.2 and 4.3 ROMs, different kernels, and both radios, and absolutely NOTHING solved this. I searched everywhere (Even rootzwiki, forgive me fellow XDA members!), and could not find anyone with the same issue.
I attempted upgrading to TWRP 2.6.0.0 and even tried CWM, and that didn't help either. Eventually, things got so bad that I couldn't boot into ANY ROM, 4.2.2 or 4.3. After nearly 10 hours of trying to unbrick my phone, I finally managed to install Beanstalk 4.3, and while it was working incredibly buggy (Not Beanstalk's fault, the developer is a great developer!) nor could I make calls, I could still send texts and emails. I was able to FINALLY get the Odin3 application to work when I got home from work, and was able to flash the stock MDK image. From there I followed the steps to properly root and install TWRP 2.6.0.0. I installed Slim's Beta 5 4.3 ROM and GApps and everything was working properly! Calling, everything! However, when I made a reboot, it froze. Stuck in the "Samsung Unlocked" screen for over an hour. I pulled the battery, booted into recovery and did a factory reset/cache and dalvik wipe. It still didn't boot. From there I did a full wipe, and data format, installed Beanstalks newest 4.3 ROM and GApps, and everything loaded properly. Then I couldn't make or receive calls without the same issue. I then did the superwipe/format and installed PAC's newest nightly and GApps package, and was able to make calls, but then got stuck when rebooting, even after factory resets and cache/dalvik wipes. After multiple attempts, I gave up and reflashed the stock MDK Samsung image in Odin3 and am leaving it as is until someone here can help me.
I know this post was incredibly wordy, and I apologize for that, but I wanted to give you guys as much information as possible and explain where this all started, as it may lead to why I'm having these problems. I appreciate any and all responses and I will answer any question any of you have to the best of my ability. Please someone save me from the horror that is TouchWiz!

First, make a NANDROID if it is working perfect on the stock ROM. This is my first step after root and recovery so that I can always fall back on something to check if there is a hardware problem, or just some sort of (system) file problem. Plus, it'll save you time if you have to go back.
Not sure that it matters, but is the stock ROM odexed, or deodexed?
The calling thing reminds me of when you use the phone overseas but it has yet to be unlocked. When you root, do you check with Root Checker? Do you have SuperSU installed? How about BusyBox? I know some items require BusyBox in order to work, but SuperSU should be installed.
As far as SuperSU, do you update it before switching back to the original kernel? One thing I noted is to be absolutely sure you do so in order to not lose your root when completing the rooting steps. I imagine this could cause other problems too.
I also suggest not using TWRP 2.6, which many people will tell you is quite buggy. Best to use the previous version.
The only other things I can suggest is ALWAYS doing a full wipe of everything before adding a new ROM. I used to do this to be sure I incurred no problems on my SGS3, because if I didn't there would always be something buggy happening.
Hope this helps.

Thank you, Heatshiver!
I always do a full wipe unless I'm doing a dirty flash for a ROM update. I will try reverting back to TWRP 2.5.0.2 (Whichever version that happens to be, I think it's .0.2) tonight and report my results. Also, just to clarify, I always make sure I have the most updated SuperSU/Superuser (Usually the former) and BusyBox.
I appreciate the suggestion.

sorry for your troubles, but I am always baffled the way people just toss that word "brick" round
Your phone was no anywhere NEAR being a brick...
You simply are playing with fire flashing AOSP ROMs and not knowing how to fix the issues.
AOSP ROMs aren't technically "made" for our phones, the developers do a great job at making it seem like they are, though.
On the SG3 we had an EFS backup that Synergy discovered incase you flash an AOSP and get stuck in roaming which was quite often at first with AOSP, that was easy to fix, but with this phone I would be careful with AOSP ROMs, even myself, with a locked bootloader wouldn't flash anything besides TW, although I am biased as AOSP is my flavor.
I am sorry if this post comes off harsh or any other bad word. It's not meant for that..
Just to kindly ask you to do some research on what a "bricked phone" truly is.
it's a brick.. meaning won't power on, won't get a light when charging, nothing, your phone is just that, a $600 brick. and the only way to bring back to life IIRC is Jtagging the phone.. which requires taking the phone apart and jtagging the motherboard.
I hope you the best my friend.
As much as I love AOSP, I would have to agree with the poster above. I know TW is a pain but there are some pretty good ROMs in that flavor that you shouldn't have any problems with. I've had the no call issue on AOSP, and even though they are nice and free up quite a bit of room it's not worth missing calls over or constantly flashing. Maybe once our bootloader is unlocked things will become different but I'd stick with TW until that happens. I can confirm that TWRP 2.6 is very buggy...you'll have to download the 2.5 version and flash it instead of goomanager they install they latest version everytime I believe.

I also forgot to mention that I haven't been able to connect to 4G radios since before I started having issues with AOSP ROMs. Currently I'm on Eclipse's TW (With AOSP Styling) ROM. Everything appears to be working fine, other than 4G.
I've tried the SIM pull and reset, and nothing. I've tried manually setting it to LTE only, at least when I was able to do so when AOSP ROMs would boot for me, and nothing. I have a Galaxy Nexus that I booted up with this SIM in and I get 4G signal. Any Ideas?
Also, when I was on the stock image (MDK) I didn't have 4G either.
Has anyone else run across this issue? (MODS: Let a me know if I should create another thread, or search more intensively. I haven't seen a thread with this exact same situation. Plenty of 4G issue threads, but none with the same issues I've previously had, and I think it may have something to do with my past modding.)

Hi all,
I'd like to thank everyone for the suggestions.
An update: Currently I'm on Eclipse's TW v2.0 ROM (TW, with AOSP Styling) and everything works properly. My current recovery is CWM 6.0.3.6 Touch, and I'm not experiencing any booting or calling issues. 4G is the only thing I don't have working.
I'm hoping that someone with my same problem can give me another idea so I can get an AOSP ROM working, preferably with 4G. I'm sure some, if not most, understand my dislike of TouchWiz and strong preference towards stock Android/stock Android based ROMs. Slim6596 said that he uses Philz Modded CWM Recovery and has no issues anymore. Could that really be my solution?
Again, thank you all for your help and ideas. I love XDA for this reason.

Are you referring to the *#*#4636#*#* dialer code? I didn't even try that because in my settings, everything was set to CDMA, but that's something I can try. I have everything backed up, so I can just wipe, install, and try that. If it doesn't work, I can always revert back.

2 step disabled
Cleared cache for google apk's
Disabled and reenabled apps
Fully wiped and reinstalled Cm and Gapps
Cleared davlik and cache
History:
This all worked on a previous phone same model. replaced original device due to a 3000lb crushing incident.
This device, tot back, rooted, TWRP installed, 35b installed, flashed 47a rooted stock version.
Everything works.
Wipe system and install cm as I have done on previous device, and here I am.
I'm missing something but cant figure out what it is.
I have read through forum after forum and tried everyones so called fix but nothing works.
I even flashed my old backup from my previous device but had issues with updating gapps due to being older.
I've learned alot from you guys but this has me baffled.
FWIW I'm running into the EXACT same issue on AOSP/cm13 based roms. I've tried Dirty Unicorn, PAC alpha, and ParanoidAndroid all with the same issue. The official cm13 gets through connecting to googles servers, but I have sms issues on that.
I'm really not sure what could be causing it, as I've been searching the same as you and tried all of the posted "solutions" by other users. Also, it seems that most people are running into this error after they enter their username and password, but for me it won't even get that far.
If you find a solution PLEASE let me know, I had to revert to using stock 47a debloated, and I hate the LG skin.

I'm still looking. I will let you know if I find a solution. I'm surprised that with all the smart people on this site, that no one has an idea or such to help us work toward a solution.

On some roms it does go through for me (aospb, beanstalk), but then outgoing sms fails. I think it may be my device honestly...
Ok, got cm 12.1 to work with open gapps super. I'm able to setup gmail accounts and such. Did a full wipe. Used a clean SD card with only the files needed to flash.
Gonna try upgrading to cm13.

Got it working. The route I took was using a clean sdcard with only cm12 snapshot and your choice of open gapps. Wipe internal everything and flash the 2 files on the sdcard. Reboot. After all is said and done, grab the current cm13 nightly and matching gapps package and dirty flash both. from a clean sdcard. This worked for me. Good luck.
