Hey Guys,
I just(about 24h ago) updated to ReVolt 4.3 from ReVolt 3.0
Now the phone freezes from time to time, not after any particular action, its just random.
When It freezes I have to reboot the phone by holding down the powerbutton for a long time.
I did wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik-cache and format /system before I installed the new ROM and I didnt have any problems at all with the last one.
Is this a common problem or is it just for me?
Superwipe and reflash your custom rom, ask in the rom thread if it still happens - go back to stock if in doubt.
I'll reflash the rom later on today.
You guys dont think it could be sds?

Check for yourself, if your recovery and ROM are both SDS safe then it shouldn't be possible to SDS.
Read the sticky on SDS.
My recovery didnt work for some reason, maybe I didnt complete it and/or its broken.
Do you suggest to install an samrom and try if that will work?

i was using Saurom ROM at 1st and it worked perfectly for my galaxy note i717(this was my 1st attempt to root my phone and install a new rom), and i saw a better ics rom ("Onlyone" ics rom) at rootmygalaxynote.com, i flashed the new ics rom into my phone and it stuck at the samsung logo. i tried to re-install the ics rom again and same thing happened. So, i go back to re-install my old Saurom ROM. But when the phone get into the main screen, it is extremely laggy and eventually freeze, most of the cases, the phone reboot itself. i m so scare that the phone is not able to read any rom now. and i am new to smart phone, can any Brother and Sister in this Forum can me get through this. i m so
You are wiping data cache and dalvik before each flash right?

^This.
Sounds like you're not wiping properly between flashings.
And don't worry OP. XDA can help you through just about anything!
When flashing a new rom you should being doing the factory reset/data wipe, then wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache. Then flash the rom zip. I would only download roms from the xda post, and the dev usually posts instructions on how to flash it.
To flash the Only1 ICS rom...you must be coming from an earlier ICS build (UCLD3 or UCLC5). If not then this is what you need to do. Flash the UCLE2 leak thru ODIN first. Let it reboot and let it settle for about 5-10 mins. Then Flash CWM via ODIN again. Once that is done...you are ok to flash the Only1 ICS Rom.
You don't have to be coming from ICS to flash OnlyOne. Truth is most Devs have some sort of wipe built in for their ROMs. OnlyOne Dev does not. All you have to do is wipe data/factory reset and then install the OnlyOne ROM. Unless I am wrong, wiping data also wipes cache. Simple as that.
sounds like paranoid anticipation not letting your dv cache and system files build. Since you said both times Samsung logo... I don't think you waited long enough... Plus use flapps first. Then if you wanna have problems to fix, try other roms... In my opinion.
Btw.. Use our development section to get the original content... Not some link from another website redirecting eventually to us anyway.

Your issue is you forgot to wipe. No not that kind of wipe. LOL. Go into recovery (CWM) and do a "wipe data/factory reset". Then install the OnlyOne ROM again.
I responded to this thread that you duplicately created in the general section. Fyi don't create two threads in different sections anymore

when i got the cwm recovery, the 1st thing i did was wipe all data and factory reset, and then i also wipe "cashe"<---wrong spelling probably. and then i went install the rom. anything that i have missed? is there any possible data corruption during the download of the OnlyOne ROM?
Data corruption is possible. You may have also downloaded an older version. Download the ROM again from this forum in the Dev section. There is a thread for it. Do your wipes again first. Then install it again. Let it settle before restoring anything. ROM performs well.
Hey
Just remember that when flashing onlyone rom it's sit on the samsung logo for a while its ok for fist time instal of rom as long as samsung logo is flashing ur fine good luck

Now my head i about to explode
Anyhow, I have an annoying problem.
Before the upgrade to XXALF6 I noticed no problem other than the known drainage of the battery in idle mode.
I rooted and flashed a ROM and it was ok.
But I got sick of the ROM and I hard reset the phone.
No problems.
Then I upgraded to XXALF6 - still unrooted and all.
First thing I notice is that the phone is lagging a bit now and then. Then when I sent and recieved an SMS or two the phone hung and rebooted.
I seems that happend because when vibration was active.
Also there was a new message saying "com.google.process.gapps" stopped working. And that came up again and again.
As far as I could find online that had to do with syncing the calendar and it should help to clear calendar cache in the phone. It did not.
Then I rooted the phone, just "CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4", no other ROM.
Now the problem was even worse and also the sound stops working on and off all the time.
I tried to find the "com.google.process.gapps" with a file explorer with no luck.
I do find it in ROM Toolbox but its not possible to see the where on the phone the file is even there. Also its not possible to uninstall or even kill the process.
I did notice there seem to be doubles of some apps that I didnt notice previously to flashing CF-Root this time.
And I recall the new guide never mentions to wipe any phone data whatsoever during rooting the phone, and now I am thinking that maybe that should have been in the guide?
Anyhow.. appreciate ANY tips at all, Im so sick of this for the moment ^^
Go to cwm recovery, wipe cash, wipe dalvik cash, wipe data/factory reset, then go to mounts&storage, format system. Then put your phone into the download mode and flash ROM again with odin. This should give you a nice and clean install,without any force closes..

I did wipe all things, cache, Dalvik, battery and user data with CWM.
At the moment it seems the phone is quite okay actually! The only thing left is SU.
U think I have to format system as well? What else would really be "cleaned" out that wasn't allready with the wipes?
Trust me,some of the devs insisted on formating system before flashing their custom roms,and I did have a bunch of force closes,until I decided to go their way and fully format the phone. It then installs everything from the scratch,so there's no way anything to go wrong.. give it a try,and report back... btw. make sure that you DO NOT restore any of the system data,if you use TB

Yeah I pretty much learnt same way as predja it is always better to do full system wipe, it is not always necessary with some roms but if you do it you won't come across the problems you have as often.

After flashing a couple of Roms I found my recovery i made of the stock Rom now says android is updating everytime i turn it on.
are using TWRP and wiped Davlec cashe but now restart and upgrading again..
started with about 43 updates and this time after davlesc reset is 80 updates..
Ive only ever seen this when installing Gapps to a new build it does it once..
This recovery never had Gapps on it and shouldnt be doing this?
Ive searched but cant find specific advice on the S3..
Anybody can help?
Thanks..

This is because your cache is being rebuilt on every reboot. Most likely from restoring a stock rom after using custom roms. This is never a good idea. If you need to return to stock you should do it by Odin. Stock roms do not back up/restore properly.
so this only happens after you wipe Dalvik? That's what's supposed to happen
No its been doing it every time i turn phone on for ages.
Just i read somewhere to wipe davlec should fix it.but then doubled the amount of updates after...
anyway i think will re flash rom from odin again should be better.
was just wondering if there was something simple i didnt do..but i guess its cause i came from non stock rom before..
Thanks for answers..
Are you sure that somewhere in twrp settings or anywhere else that you haven't set the device to wipe dalvik on each boot?
Did you delete some odex files from your system/app

This has nothing to do with the issue. The issue is that the delvic cache is being deleted on reboot. A full wipe and reflash should fix him/her right up.
Hi
I've been using sotmax since v16 and since upgrading to v19 whenever I try to open a contact through the contacts app it freezes then force closes.
Has anyone come across this or know how to fix this?
Thanks
Do the standard clear cache and dalvik, if that doesn't help then full wipe and reflash might fix it.
Only ever upgrade when the ROM chef says it's okay, otherwise full wipe.

I only ever do a full wipe before flashing. I've wiped and re-flashed this rom 5 times now and always get the same issue
Probably a bug in the rom then, ask the chef to check for it.
