When I first tried the Hyperdrive ROM, it was RLS4. I was experiencing touchwiz crashes periodically, so I switched back to Synergy ROM in the hopes that this wouldn't occur once Hyperdrive had been updated. I've recently flashed Hyperdrive RLS5.7 and I'm experiencing the exact same touchwiz crashes. I'm not sure how to fix them, but it's making the ROM all but unusable for me. I really like all of the features, but it's back to Synergy until I can figure this out. Can anyone help me out with these crashes? If I can't get this resolved, does anyone know of any alternative ROMs with similar customization and functionality? Thanks for any and all help.

What exactly is crashing on you and when is it crashing ie what are you doing?
First off, I'd just like to thank you for trying to help as I realize that after all of the work you've already done on this ROM you're in no way obligated to help me out, and I appreciate that.
I'm having Touchwiz crash on me (it becomes unresponsive and then pops up with a message before resetting itself) whenever I try to move an application or remove one from a page. I've considered that this may be a conflict with my previous ROM, Synergy, as it has an extra row of apps on each page. I wipe everything multiple times before flashing, but I use Titanium Backup which may store app layout data. I have nothing to support that guess, its just a theory of mine.

I've been experiencing this problem ever since I've had the phone. More often than not, accessing the Gallery will cause the system to freeze and I have to take out the battery to reboot. I applied the OCLF and it seemed to help for a little while, now this phone is back to it's old tricks. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there something I can do to fix it? I'm running stock btw.
I personally have not seen anyone else post that issue. I had an issue before when pics would not show because Media Scanner was not running... the roms I am on lately seem to resolve that though (back then when I had the issue I used an app in the market to scan my media and then the pics would show).
You say stock, do you mean stock JI6... as in you have done nothing to the phone?
Maybe not an option, but why not try a custom rom and see if that fixes the issue... if it does not, unroot and tell Samsung what's wrong and get a replacement.
I usually hate when people mention getting replacements, but you sound like you have a legit problem and not trying to work the system.

yes, this is a common issue on stock 2.1.1 firmware right now, happened to me constantly, when it does this someone told me that when you open gallery, theres a memory leak bug which opens and then phone can't handle so it freezes.
Flash a custom ROM, i use axura 2.1, so far its been the fastest, most stable for me.
idk if this will work but ask for a gallery.apk from different roms where the leak has been fixed, and then try that, or just flash a new rOM.

i had this problem when i just wantes to use stock with root. this is actually common problem with ji6 roms that still use the stock gallery apk.for some reason the stock gallery in ji6 always tends to lock up.there's a fixed version of the apk floating around somewhere.
I had this same problem with JI6, but it went away when I updated to the leaked JK6. This or any recent custom rom should fix the problem for you.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
As i said its a memory leak bug, which has been fixed, you should either get a different gallery.apk from newer roms, or get a new rom.
I suggest a newer rom, but its up to you.
If you are running JI6, then this is a common problem for many people.
i had the same problem with my first and second vibrant, i updated to jk6 on number 2 and it went away.
can anyone post the apk to fix this????
Also interested in a the new Gallery .apk.... probably would have to push it using adb? I'm probably just gonna jump right on JL5 tonight.
Searched the forum, didn't really find anything relevant so here goes.
Using CM9 right now to experience the ICS goodness (I know..experimental) but it happened with CM7 too which is what I would call a very stable ROM. Can't tell you if it happened with stock touchwiz because I removed that as soon as I got my phone...
At random times when I'm using the phone, it completely freezes and the only way to fix it is to hold the power button down to shut down/turn back on. I'm not doing anything particular so theres no pattern like launching angry birds, 2 minutes later the phone freezes. launch angry birds, freezes..etc.
What I thought could be causing it..
1) Something faulty in the phone.
2) A buggy app in the background that I don't know is running.
3) Losing internet connectivity/service causing an error of some sort..as bizarre as that sounds.
Can anyone help me with this?
Any suggestions/opinions anyone might have would be much appreciated.

Possible but the least likely .

Again possible .

Not heard of that one
Can anyone help me with this?

Total wipe of the phone and sd card and put a stock rom on is the only way to eliminate bad rom bad apps .
99% of the current problems are all from beta test rom ICS in some shape or form and errors are random and varied .

I know theres lots of problems with CM9 but yeah as I said it was still an issue with CM7. Mostly have the same apps that was on my old HTC desire that was also running CM7 which made me think it was a problem with the phone. I'll try the stock rom idea and see if it helps...kills me to use touchwiz though! I find it ghastly!

You CAN install other launchers so you don't have to look at the TouchWiz launcher, you know. I'm on a stock ROM, haven't looked at the TouchWiz launcher in months.
I know that but I'd rather have the latest and greatest which CM9 seems to be at the moment. All the things that don't work don't really affect me. Also I've been using the stock touchwiz rom and still am having the freezing problem so I'm guessing its a dodgy app...gonna be a long process to determine which one it is though.

Its certainly not what i would put on my phone but it is users choice .
I find a clue in the high number of help or bug posts regarding certain roms is a certain indicator for me to steer clear of. ICS has multiple error posts of a varied nature what works for one phone does not work on another .

First off, I'm sorry if it seems like this has been answered before, but I did a good deal of searching and couldn't find anyone who had quite the same problem I do.
I've been using Agrabren's CM10 - Disarmed Toaster for CDMA since Friday. But I ran into a "storage running low" problem this morning (after I let my phone go dead last night and then put it on the charger overnight) which caused me to do a full wipe and re-flash with his latest version (0.2.2). Since then, I haven't been able to receive texts at all. I have Google Voice, and I was getting the texts there, but not in the actual messaging app. I have since tried disabling and re-enabling Google Voice to no avail, and it is currently disabled to remove extra variables. I haven't been very scientific about my troubleshooting process, which has mostly involved a lot of flailing around, wiping, and re-flashing. But I've re-installed the ROM countless times and twice now have flashed a Sense ROM (MeanROM 2.6) to update my PRL and Profile and then flashed back to CM10. I suddenly got a flood of all my texts when I flashed to Sense, but still don't get any texts after flashing back to CM10.
I tried Paranoid Android and AOKP variants and have the same problem. I even tried Team DIRT's CM10 Codename Android and texts still didn't come in. I should also mention that I had the same problem a while back with Disarmed Toaster 0.1.6, and it probably started the same way with running out of battery and then having the storage low issue and re-flashing. I never figured out exactly what the issue was, but I think at the time I was able to fix it by flashing a Sense ROM and updating profile and PRL.
Sorry for the long explanation. Let me know if there is any other info I can provide to help. I really didn't want to go back to MIUI, but that might be only option at this point.
Also, for reference:
HBOOT - 1.40, S-Off
Recovery - 4ext 1.0.0.5 RC5

Thanks. I already asked there and I've been following the thread. I don't think anyone else has mentioned this problem.

I think it's the 4g logs growing exponentially and filling the space. You need to periodically clear the logs.

Yeah, I think that's what caused the "Storage space running low" that started the whole thing. But the real issue is why I was no longer able to receive texts in any CM10 ROM since I re-flashed to "fix" the storage problem....
Thanks for the tip.
Anyway, it seems as though the problem has been resolved. So far I'm receiving texts okay - here's what I did:
1. Called Sprint while on CM10 Disarmed Toaster, they said provisioning looks okay, and the did a "refresh" on their end - didn't help anything
2. Flashed MIUI - received texts fine
3. Flashed CM10 again - still not working
4. Restored backup of MIUI - received texts fine, used for a little while
5. Flashed CM10 again - now able to receive texts
I think there's something going on behind the scenes that I am not aware of. Somehow it looks like restoring my backup and using it for a while fixed whatever the issue was.
It could be the apn xml file in the cm10 rom. The settings are probably not set correctly. Have you looked through the thread where you got the rom to see if anybody else was having the same problem? If not you could always address this issue to the dev. Ask him if you can provide a logcat to him on the thread or pm him the logcat.

That's an interesting thought, but it doesn't seem to explain why no one else is having the same problem, or why it worked at one time, and then didn't work after I re-flashed.I guess there could be something wrong with the flash process that was corrupting that file on my phone. But I was able to *send* sms without a problem, so I'm not sure.
As I mentioned before, I've been following the threads for the ROM and no one else has mentioned the same problem. I asked the question in the thread, but I didn't get an answer.
Anyway, as I mentioned above it's working now, so I wouldn't be able to provide a logcat unfortunately. For anyone else with the problem, I guess the only suggestion I can give it to make sure you keep a backup of a working ROM handy if you're going to re-flash a lot.
I have had the same problem its agrabating get it
But it seems as the issue is inconsistent at best. I found out how to clear the 4g logs why are those logs even kept anymore?
The messaging this is the worst part I too use google voice
We need to find a better solution to this

Haha...
Just so you know, once you've cleared out the 4G logs, you can make that directory "immutable" so that the logs don't get created anymore. Just run this command in terminal emulator:
chattr +i /data/wimax/log
I'm obviously not an android developer, and I have no idea why the logs are still created. I also have no idea what caused the text message issue, but if you are currently not getting texts, I would suggest you restore a working backup and then re-flash Agrabren's ROM like I did.

Has anyone figured out why SMS stopped working? I am running AOKP JB ROM and I can send text messages but I am not receiving them. Thanks for your help.
Still not working
I've been having the same problem with the sms, it works if you re-flash something else a couple times then flash CM10 back on but sms will only work for so long. I would like to pick apart the problem and see if we cant find the source of the problem, it could be a temp file that CM10 has been saving that interferes with the sms, but that's just a guess. any help on this is greatly appreciated
Just wanted to say I too have encountered this. I have tried flashing unofficial aokp 3.5 and unofficial slimbean 1.1. Getting ready to flash an MIUI rom like mentioned above.
Some Experimenting....
I did a small experiment just now (to try and get incoming SMS working) because I had essentially experienced the EXACT same problem, except that it was with P.A.C.MAN v.23 instead. What I did was installed a stock-based rom (I used unSENSABLE), which obviously allowed all my SMS to come flooding in, and stayed on that rom for about a day. After that I made a nandroid backup (of unSENSABLE) in 4ext, wiped everything except sd (not using the superwipe, and including caches) and then restored the backup. After that I booted up, let it sit for a while, then restarted into recovery. Again I wiped everything without using the superwipe, and flashed P.A.C.MAN v.23.0.0 and then GAPPS and booted. After all that, SMS was working again. We'll see how long it lasts...
Hello everyone,
I have tried looking around the XDA forums regarding my issue but my case seems a bit unique and so I haven't really seen any threads that solved my problem.
I have always stuck with AOSP and AOKP roms solely for their customisation capabilities and quick updates. Only gripe I have with these is just the poor battery life, which is why I went back to using a sammy rom.
Specifically, when I use a 4.3 stock sammy rom (i.e. I was using Indie's Omega Rom when this first happened), after I record a video in instagram and try to upload it, the app crashes. I can get to the page just before the caption page and the app crashes. This isn't just specific to the Omega Rom but all 4.3 stock roms I have tried, so I'm thinking that this isn't a rom-specific issue maybe..? But it might be something to do with the camera itself?
I have tried wiping the dalvik cache, fixing permissions, and even formatting my whole phone - both internal and external storages, so I'm not sure what might be the problem. Which is why I hope someone can help me out
I have seen some threads which have said it might be an issue with changing some camera settings but I haven't touched these so that shouldn't be an issue.
On a side note, another issue I've noticed with the 4.3 stock roms is that apps such as LMT don't work even though they are running in the background and I receive toast notifications about them having root access and all. Not sure if this is related, or something else completely.
I thank you for taking the time to read this, and really hope I can get some help regarding this isue.
Regards.
having the same issue here on s3...... on mk6 4.3 rom. has also happened to me across CM11 and cm10.2 and s4 revolution rom.
anyone know what i can try?
Hello there.
Sorry to bother you, but I'm having some really serious problems. I am using a Oneplus One, though I don't think the problem is device specific. Every time I open a conversation in the messaging app, it crashes. I thought no big deal, I'll just download another messaging app. I tried Chomp, Textra, and Google Messanger. All of them had similar problems; they would crash. It seems to be a problem with the app trying to call conversations from the phone. I also cannot receive any messages. I can, however send them via Google now. I am using sultanxda's MarshMallow ROM, which is amazing. This problem is not, however rom specific. The first CM13 nightlies recently came out so I decided to test it out. I dirty flashed it and encountered the same provlem. I then clean flashed it and it worked fine. So I decided to experiment. I restored my sultan backup and wiped the system partition, then dirty flashed the sultan rom again. The messaging app worked fine, but I had problems with Google Play services and android.phone crashing. Then restored sultan again and this time did a factory reset(TWRP style). Again, messaging worked fine. I believe the problem to be some kind of root enabled app, but I have not idea what it could be. Disabling root also doesn't help, so that might not be the problem after all. The only root apps I have are Xposed, lucky patcher, and Awesome Pop-Out Videos. Uninstalling these don't help either. I know this is a complicated question, but I really need help. If I don't get an answer soon, I'll just have to factory reset and start over. Please help me if you can!
So not mention lucky patcher. You will not find any help with it installed.
With out the proper troubleshooting on your part there is nothing that can be done. A logcat will tell you what is causing it.
