Recently I flashed my phone with Cookiesandcream-quincyatt-1012 rom and my phone went all laggy and slow.
restored back to my CM10quincyatt that i had prior to cookiesandcream, and now that was acting all laggy.
I have tried several different roms(slim bean, liquid jb, cm9, cm10, and jelly beer, which seems to be working the best at least) and all of them seem to have the same issue, they act slow as soon as I use the volume rocker, and then my volume delays 10 seconds or so before it actually changes, and there not even sound coming from my phone. and is just laggy and has delays when i touch apps/settings etc.
aswell as soon as i boot up the phone after a flash, i get the gapps welcome setup screen(wifi setup, google account stuff, etc.)
i click "OK" and the button turns blue and will stay blue for 10 seconds before it actually does anything.
I have done factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, internal storage wipe.
Nothing seems to work.
It worked a tiny better after internal storage wipe, but i just need my phone in a useable state right now.
can anyone help? :s

Data.......you likely have either old data that is intended for a different architecture...
, or you are restoring data into the builds by using a restore app like titanium backup.
Several of the roms you mention are very fast and smooth when set up properly, but it is very important to clean the device before a flash, and keep it clean by installing applications from market..
Many users do restore apps via titanium backup and other applications designed to do so, but you must never restore the data associated with the apps from a previous build, unless it is the same build.
Wipe cache
Dalvik cache
data
and system...prior to any new build, and again, do not restore apps that contain data.....g

I have done all of the above many times, and installed new roms, the roms always end up laggy, the improve over time,
but once the phone restarts, it becomes laggy again.
also i have no sound coming from my phone at all.
music wont even play. I press play and it immidiatly pauses. even if i try to press play again.
and i have never used titanium backup, the only time i restore, is using the restore function in TWRP using a backup of a previous rom i had. I never ported any data from any apps using programs like that.
by the way, when i look through my mounts and storage(using CWM), it shows that all my things say "mount /efs" or "mount /data" and so on.
are all of these supposed to say unmount?
EDIT: Solved problem, Unrooted the phone using odin3 v3.04 and stock I717RUXLF4_I717RRWCLF4_I717RUXLF4_HOME.tar.md5 and re-rotting solved the problem.
Data corruption .....
I'm glad you found the cause .....g
than go flash black star, no chance of that problem

I have always used ROM Manager to do everything, but seeing that might not be the best way to do things..I have been having some other problems with restoring, and talked about it on another forum, but can't post the link here yet.
So, my nightlys said it is time to upgrade, so I am going to completely back everything up with TB, and fire it all up to dropbox. All of my system settings are 100% the way I want them... I also clicked the beta migration option in the preferences, hoping that would help me.
Step 1 - Backup all user apps + system Data
Step 2 - Sync to Dropbox
Step 3 - Boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery, and do everything manually, not through ROM Manager
Step 4 - Clear cache and Dalvik
Step 5 - Run zip from SD Card
This time, it seemed like everything went as planned. When I started the phone back up, all the apps were in the same spot, and wallpaper was the same. Although, the first time, when the screen timed out, I couldn't turn it back on. Pulled the battery, and all is working fine now.
Step 6- went into TB and did a batch restore of all apps and data, but only clicked the green items. From reading somewhere else, it is only wise to do the green items, not the red, so that is what I did. Then reboot for all to take effect.
This is where I am confused. None of my data is restored. For example, I use K-9 Mail, and the settings aren't restored by the batch. But, if I go to that app, and hit the restore data, then it restores it fine. So, for me to do all my apps, the batch function isn't working, I have to go through and do 15-20 apps manually.
So, what am I doing wrong here? Why isn't the batch operation working properly for me?
Edit - Something else I noticed that didn't restore properly was any of my ring tones. Not a huge deal, but I thought might be worth mentioning in this dilemma.
So I assume you are on CM7 as you refer to nightlies.
You say that you wipe cache/dalvick cache and install. Then when you reboot all your apps are in the right place?
Then why on earth would you want restore your apps on top of the existing apps with TB? Maybe that is causing the problem. AFAIK upgrading with a nightly shouldn't touch your installed apps.
Did you check the app settings before restoring with TB?
As for the ringtones, I always had that problem when using CM7, just got used to fixing them after installing each nightly.
Hope this helps.
What version of TB are you using? I was having a similar problem doing restores on v3.9.0.1 and was having problems doing batch recovery with my SGS2. The status bar would come up but wouldn't successfully finish. I then upgraded to 4.0.0.0 and everything seems to work.. might give that a try if you're using an older version.

Yes, sorry, I am running CM7, but using the nighties.
As far as the apps, that's why I think I am doing something wrong. Last time was the first time everything was there, every other update, it was like I was starting off with a new phone. No app, no data, nothing. A brand new fresh start.
I will try it again in a few minutes and hope for the best..
Thanks for helping out with this one..

I am currently using the Pro, 4.0.2. It just seems that I have to refresh all the data for each app by themselves, but all at once won't work.
Upgrading my nightly now, so keeping my fingers crossed that it will work.
One day for no apparent reason, boot-loop.
TWRP 2.2.2 installed and that still works.
Wipe cache & dalvik. No help.
Dirty re-flash exact same rom. No help. (Didn't expect that one to help of course but it's about the only thing left to try that doesn't lose data, and it's free and at least harmless.)
Nothing left to try that preserves data.
No recent backup. Oh crap. Months of txt's will be lost.
Make a nandroid backup with TWRP "just because". No idea what I might be able to do with it since the rom boot-loops. Do it anyway. The data I want to save is "in there somewhere some how".
Factory reset in TWRP. (IE: wipe data)
Boots fine. Empty new phone. Internal and external SD cards preserved, so pics/books/music all ok, contacts re-syncing from gmail. txts gone of course as I knew they would be.
Titanium Backup Pro > Menu > Extract from nandroid" > Dialer Storage
HOLY CRAP RESTORED!!!!!
Thank you TWRP!
Thank you TiBU!
Saved and restored my data AFTER rom was already in unusable boot-loop.
That is all.
nice info
so whatever happen just do Nanddroid backup

Mine did the same thing while I was travelling - was very annoying. Thankfully I had a very recent backup to work from, as well as a ROM in memory to be able to re-flash. Was weird and out of the blue.

Nandroid backups require a reboot, which is annoying
Thankfully, when my phone started boot looping yesterday, I thought to make a backup before restoring a (month and a half!) old nandroid image. Had to get it working again, obiously, but so much happens in a month and a half. I was hoping to hack the backup to turn off Wifi, which I assumed was the problem because the last thing I did before the boot loop was enable it*, but fortunately I happened upon this thread. All I had to do is restore my new data+apps from the nandroid image over my old, working backup and I'm set. Fixed forever (hah!).
Let this be a lesson, kids: root your phone (even if you use a stock ROM like me!) and use the amazing community-created backup tools. They'll save your life wallet and data
*Possibly related: http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-lte/212245-boot-loop-noooo.html - lot of people there basially saying they enabled Wifi just before things hit the fan.
I had the "just enabled wifi" boot loop once too some months ago. That time I had a clue because the home screen would almost come all the way up before the reboot and I could see the wifi icon on the notifications, and of course I had just been trying to connect to an access point when it started.
That time I managed to get in and disable wifi just before it caused a reboot. Took about 3 tries, trying to get into settings as soon as possible during boot up. But it worked and I didn't need a backup that day. I think that was still on the original shipped stock rom.

I recently rooted/unlocked my Verizon GN2 using Casual, and I am interested in trying my first ROM. I saw the announcement of Jelly Wiz Rom MJ9 4.3 TW (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2564495), and it looks fairly interesting, so I'd like to give it a go. Before I jump in, I want to be sure I've got my process correct. Pulling in information from that thread and the [GUIDE][VZW Edition]How to Root/Rom/Return to Stock the VZW Galaxy Note II! thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207), here's what I think I have to do:
Make sure I've got a good backup
Download the ROM to my internal SD card
Power device off, then hold the Volume up/home/power buttons until I get into TWRP)
Select wipe, then wipe cache. (If I get force close or other issues, boot back to TWRP and wipe data)
Select install, then choose the ROM
Reboot
At this point, I should have the ROM up and running. However, there will be some problem with the modem and WiFi, so I need to fix that by doing the following:
Grab the "Recovery Flashable Modem and WiFi Parameters" from http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760974850
Boot into TWRP
Select install, then choose the Flashable Model and WiFi Parameters zip file
Reboot
Is this all correct? Have I missed anything?
Everything seems to be in good order. You almost always want to perform a full factory reset/data wipe when going between different Roms. I know it's a pain to restore everything back to your liking but you'll regret not wiping 9/10 times. Also, consider keeping the .zips on an external SD Card just in case of accidental internal storage wipe.
Titanium Backup should be my friend, right?

Thanks for the tips.
I've done a backup of all my apps (system and user) using Titanium, and I can do another before doing my reset/wipe. In theory, I should be able to restore the apps I want to recover, after I'm all done installing the ROM and the patch, right? So it shouldn't be too much of a hassle.
Or am I being naive?
Well all of your Google apps back themselves up to the cloud, so you're good there. In my experience, it's best to only restore Market Apps, games etc... apps that aren't already synced with your google account. But I've always had pretty good luck with Titanium. I pretty much only ever backed up game progress, far too many hours into angry birds to lose it to a wipe.

That makes sense. Sounds like the smart thing to do is to grab all the apps I actually use, give them time to re-sync, and then use Titanium to restore everyone else's data.
Thanks very much!
Exactly! You got it, glad I could help.

ya i wanna try this but have spent last 2 hrs unbricking my phone after trying to install another tw rom following directions exactly. may just wait to get back to tw rom and stay at cm 11 unofficials
Hello.
Today I decided that I should upgrade my phone and move to Cyanogenmod 11.
So I downloaded everything, followed every step, made a backup with Titanium Backup, and upgraded.
With (almost) no problems, my phone booted with Cyanogenmod.
At first, everything went smooth, I put all my stuff back in the memory while I sit back and enjoy the speed.
But then everything went bad. I found out all my contacts are gone, all my photos are gone, all of my songs are gone, the home button doesn't work, I opened Nova Launcher and suddenly the lockscreen has been disabled.
I can't close apps because the home button doesn't work. The button on the upper left on the notification center doesn't work (although it worked at first), I don't even get notifications.
There is no physical problem with the home button. When the phone is locked, I press the home button and it wakes it up, but it does nothing besides that.
I also can't access my Contacts app, I need to open the Phone app and access them through there.
Also– I can't receive any calls. It seems the phone knows a call has been made, but it sends the caller straight to voice mail and I need to check the missing calls to see if anybody called.
If it helps, whenever I boot the phone there's a tiny exclamation mark on the top left.
Please help.
Well don't know what the problem is but seems like you are running out of RAM... I personally didn't had any problem with any aosp ROM be it cm11 or omni...
Try flashing it again and flash it clean that is do a factory reset then wipe system,preload, cache, dalvik cache..and then install it...
Also avoid using art as your runtime as it may be the culprit...

I doubt it's about the RAM, I never had any problems with it, and I clean it regularly.
I will try to flash it again, but I try to back my things up, and instead of backing up only the user apps (107) Titanium Backup backs up about 321 files, which I think means it backs up also the System stuff.
What do you mean by "avoid using art as your runtime"?
EDIT: I flashed the ROM again, and everything works fine. But before I bring all of my stuff back through Titanium Backup, I need to be sure: What does grey apps with cross line on them means? Because I don't want to screw up my phone again...

The apps which are crossed are not installed in your device...avoid the ones which are colored as these are the apps from your previous system which must have been backed up by titanium backup...dont restore them..just go in the tab which says restore missing apps with data..the first one in the restore section..it contains all your user apps with their data backed up..
although cm thread says that they dont support the use of titanium or restoring your data...
so i also restore those apps for which data is always necessary like games...it us a little cumbersome but ya thats the way to go for better experience...

Okay so I restored all of my apps, some info is missing but that's fine. Just a small problem– Slow charging. The battery take AGES to charge and the percents goes down if I use the phone while charging.
Suggestions?

Yes it was. The charging time changed only after flashing to CM.
The usb cable is not the problem, I tried 2 USB and one charger, the charging remains the same.
I have been running Cyanogenmod for a while and have really enjoyed running an AOSP custom rom. However I notice that when I run CM11 (any version) Google Maps will either not work properly or wont work at all. Sometimes my GPS as a whole wont work and I can't use any navigation application. I also notice that the first few days the rom runs fairly well but after two days it starts acting erratic. At first there will be little problems like not showing map searches properly but as time goes on it gets worse and worse to the point that I can't get my ringer back on again (even though it is set to on in the menu) without restarting the phone. In addition the phone as a whole is very sluggish and slow now. Sometimes I will run an application and the phone will not run it properly and if I hit the home button it will lock up for a few seconds and sometimes I will have to restart it in order to get it working properly again.
None of these problems exist with CM10.2. The only problem I will have is when the top drag down notification menu in pulled down sometimes it glitches up and stops at about half way down the screen and I need to tap the screen so that it resets and I can do it over again. Other than that everything works fine with 4.3 but when I install 4.4 (CM11) it's not stable at all on my phone.
I install it using clockwork mod recovery.
I wipe the /system, /data and /data/media (/sdcard), /data, /cache, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache.
Then I install the cm-11-20140504-SNAPSHOT-M6-d2lte.zip
Then I install the gapps- kk-20140105-signed.zip
Then I do another wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache.
The only way I can do a cleaner wipe (that I know of) is to wipe my sdcard that I installed as extra memory, but I don't have another one and since most of my issues don't happen when I use 10.2.1 I havent gone forward with that option.
The rom I have the best luck with and is the one that I am referencing in this post as the 10.2.1 rom is cm-10.2.1-d2att.zip.
Anyone have any ideas? Am I missing a step? I otherwise really like CM11 and would like to use it all the time, but I work in the IT field and my phone is my assistant and I need something more reliable.
Thanks!!!!
