Alright, so I've been modding my phone and many others since the early days of the Captivate, so I'm pretty well versed in how all of this works. That being said, here's my problem:
My phone has become a bit of a whiny b*tch when it comes to flashing ROMs. I know every phone is unique and what works for some may not work for others. But ROMs that have always done well for me (for instance, Flappjaxxx's Unofficial has always ran flawlessly on my device) are now buggy as hell. MD5s are always verified, I fully wipe as instructed, I don't overclock... It just doesn't work right anymore. I get kernel panics and random reboots all the time.
Any insight as to just what the hell is going on with my device would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

its been a while since I have seen a Flapp's rom on here..............
it may not have anything to do with it, but is that an unofficial 4.1 or 4.2 ?
is that the only rom?
I see your stats and know your experienced, but running a rom from Flapp tells me it may have been a little while. things have progressed quite a bit since then.
lets try this.............when was the last time you went into recovery and wiped you Davlik or Cache? could just be a little constipated.
Flapp is gone, his work only survives on his own site. I keep a copy of his ICS native ROM around because, so far, nothing has come close to being as snappy and stable. It's a sort of safe place that I always come back to. I could go weeks without rebooting and never bog down. I love it.
I still flash new works regularly, always with the necessary wipes. When I start getting buggy, I always try the usual go-to fixes. Wiping the caches, Fix Permissions, all that noise. At first, I just thought it was the rampant instability that comes with a new base. New base, new bugs. But for the last month or so, it makes no difference. ICS or JB, Native or AOSP... It's all unstable for me. Something is wrong somewhere. Something that doesn't change with wipes and a flash.
I'm just hoping that someone with a deep knowledge of Android has dealt with this and reads this post.

for what it is worth, I had some issues when 4.3 came out. was only 1 or 2 that I could run and seemed if I could run it, after about a week it would start going haywire. 2 roms would not run at all. I am not big on running an alternate kernel. the rom should run with the kernel the developer included. I posted a thread and others suggested wiping EMMC. that scared the crap out of me. my internal storage was very full. I was having to delete a file just to install another.
I moved all my music and pics to external and got rid of everything else. anything else was on Google.
I now have no more issues running whatever I want and have maybe had 2 ort 3 reboots in last month or more.
out of habit now, what I do after my multiple wipes is flash rom itself, then flash rom and gapps. let it settle for the 10 and reboot again. then set up. been a pretty solid routine
many out there still have have issues with 4.2, but I have heard of very very few reboot issues on 4.3.
good luck my friend

Lol dammit! I figured that'd be the suggestion. I was really hoping not to have to wipe my internal storage. Like you said, that is some seriously scary business. I already keep my backups and music on the external, so I guess I'll just backup my pics to my laptop and give it a good wipe.
Thanks for the advice.

Dude, people on this site are not going to release kernels that will f up your phone. Next time you should probably do a little more research before you trade in your phone for a new one.
Patience is a virtue for most, but when its your primary line and data is f'd up I'm not going to wait. Research at the time was non existent for this matter. I had a new phone in 10hrs when I requested replacement. A dev suggested reflashing the stock radio and re rooting the device to restore data, this didn't take. Its flasher beware, something everybody knows. Devs even post this in the beginning of all threads. Everybody's phone reacts differently to each rom, kernal, radio, theme what have you. I'm just now sitting back and waiting for UD to be released

So I have 2 touchpads and have installed android on 3. One of them however, cwm won't even install anything. Its really weird. I ended up having to uninstall everything android and stick with webos. Any ideas on what to do? Or do I have a hardware issue and just stuck with webos. Not that webos is bad and I mainly use the tablet as an internet device to pull up diagrams and such for working on my cars. But it would be nice to have Android on it. Anyone else run across this issue?
I removed Android from the device.and redid the install via acmeinstaller, and considering I have done it on two other devices with no issues makes me.wonder what happened on this last one. Android was rebooting a lot so I tried a wipe and reinstall the rom but cwm would reboot itself seconds after hitting the rom folder to execute the rom installation.

I've been following the posts of the new and older ICS roms and just have a few general ?'s regarding flashing a new rom.. I have been using Ineffabilis v1.3 for quite a while now and am completly satisfied with its performance but am itching to try another Rom. Seems like there's good and bad about both ICS and GB but seems its a PITA to have to relock the bootloader in order to get new radios or what not..this is where i get lost..i'm not new to flashing roms or kernels (had an Incredible and flashed roms like crazy) i just don't understand anything in regards to what the requirements are for ICS vs GB. I'd hate to brick my phone!! Any insight would be greatly appreciated.. THANK YOU in advance!!
I was in the same boat because I had never flashed an RUU before. Head over to Scott's ROMs and in his forums he has a step by step process laid out. I went through that after reading up on everything multiple times and it went fine. Back up everything you want from the phone, internal and external sd cards, to your PC BEFORE flashing the RUU. They will be wiped by the process.
Good luck and have fun.
Thanks for the info..ill definitely check it out!!

I did the whole re-lock bootloader and what not and it is totally worth it. Especially the dev version with AOSP. It isn't hard to upgrade to the 4.0 cleanroms, if you know what you are doing.
Everything is better in my opinion just miss small tweaks here and there.. is there a way to install custom fonts and is there an app that controls the individual volumes like ringer/notifications..seems like the ringer and notification volumes are combined which is annoying

New RUU ICS vs GB
I will chime in and say that it is definitely worth it. As said before in the CleanROM thread Scott has a very detailed step by step guide. Just a few pointers before you jump in.
1) make sure you have a card reader for your computer that you can connect your removable micro-SD card to. Trust me, if you screw up somewhere in the process, having a reliable way to access the SD card is a life saver.
2) before flashing always wipe/factory reset 3 times, some think it is overkill, but if you end up with some odd glitch or bug when you just wiped once, you will most likely have to wipe and flash again to get rid of the bug...so of course you are actually saving time and hassle by just doing it 3 times in the first place.
3) make sure your battery is full or almost full before you start the process, you will avoid many problems by not having your phone battery die in the middle of a flash or update.
4) read, read and read again all the information and the instructions on what you are going to be doing, then make sure you understand and are comfortable Before you actually start. Reading through the forums and knowing beforehand what others have experienced, and the fixes, will make your life 100% better while you play with your phone.
All that said, the new RUU is awesome, better radio reception, better battery life for most (once you drain and recharge a few times), and ICS is very cool on the Rezound. Happy flashing people and hope you like ICS as much as I do.

Gads. I've waited 2 years to root my phone and the first ROM I flash toasts it. I downloaded the Skyraider Zeus 1.3 and everything looked fine. When it rebooted, though, I realized I'm not able to do anything.
I slide the lock to get into the phone and I'm greeted by a dialog about in-call volume. All I can do is hit the Silent button and it switches between that and bluetooth volume. I can't figure out how to get past it so I can actually do anything.
Ideas?
ETA: Now I'm really sick to my stomach. I decided to restore from backup. Neither one of the backups I made prior to flashing are working.
Error while restoring /data!
WTF? Now I'm dead in the water.
4pm Update: I figured I have a brick now so I wiped data/factory reset, wiped cache. Now I'm trying to re-install Skyraider. I'm not holding my breath.
You're not bricked.

Will do. What a debacle it started out to be. I think I'm ok now. I got the ROM working and for some reason although I wasn't able to boot into recovery and restore I have been able to restore my apps and data through Titanium. I have to say buying the Pro license was worth not having to acknowledge each install. :laugh:
One thing I noticed is that I used to be able to slide the task bar down and have two options. Initially it was set with notifications but I could select a tab to make quick selections like enable/disable the hotspot, etc. I'll have to figure out why I only see notifications now. Maybe that's just part of the ROM behavior.

That's strange that you don't see the quick settings tab.
Usually after flashing a ROM through recovery, I flash it an extra time so that I know it gets all the files through.
I know when I flashed Gingeritis 3D, I couldn't get the music player to stop force closing when I changed the music sound effects. The only way to fix these issues and a few others was to flash it a couple more times, without wiping anything at all. Dirty flashes (not wiping) could possibly fix any issues as long as you haven't changed any of the ROMs settings or set up anything.

Nusense is actually on my list. These are what I was initially looking at trying:
Liquid Smooth AOKP
SkyRaider Zeus 1.3
NuSense
I think I'm like most Tbolt users that are tired of waiting for ICS. I wasn't sure about Nusense because I was believing that Sense was the source of a lot of my problems. However, SkyRaider (even though it's neither ICS nor Sense-less) is running considerably better. My phone was next to useless. It might take 1-2 min just for the stupid thing to dial a # once it was selected. I'd tell people if I ever needed 911 I'd be dead before it even dialed. I also had a lot of problems with messaging and general performance. So maybe it was just a bloatware problem that was dragging me into the mud.
Now that I'm having a positive experience with SR I think I'm going to make NuSense my next one. It looks very promising. I appreciate the warning and help to steer me clear.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot. I don't use Netflix much from the phone so that's not a deal breaker.
How is it with data? I flashed NuSense yesterday morning and flashed back to SkyRaider last night. I couldn't stay connected. The data drops were horrible. It was odd. I'd have the 3G/4G icon like I was connected but couldn't surf/email/etc. Then other times I'd lose the 3G/4G altogether. Sometimes resetting the mobile data would work and other times it would just laugh at me.
I guess I didn't give it much of a chance since it only lasted <12 hours but it was driving me nuts. Nothing like spending time with family and not being able to surf and escape.
Any liquid based ics rom is plagued with data drops.

You don't get data drops on other builds? Have you checked the gold tabs under your battery door and bald sure they aren't damaged? Maybe check to see if they are making good contact too.

Any liquid based ics rom is plagued with data drops.

Ugh. That's not good. SkyRaider has been rock solid on data. The only thing I've really run into is it seems flashing my apps with app2zip only works on some things. I end up having to re-flash Kindle, Lookout, and a few other apps once I'm up and running again.
I was really looking forward to ICS but not if data drops are the norm.
I've searched around the forums and have been unable to locate a thread or post that pertains to the issues that I'm currently dealing with....
Every time I open a game I can get anywhere from 30seconds to a few minutes of playtime before the game just shuts down. I'm not getting a force close message or anything, the phone just goes back to the home screen. If I go back into the game it just starts it over. Right now I'm running the latest Beanstalk with the included latest Uber, but it is not just with this ROM that the issue shows itself. Its been happening to me with every 4.3 ROM I've put in my phone...
Not sure if its just me that's having the issue, if anyone has a fix, or if someone can just say my phone is broke so my wife will let me have a new one lol.

Yeah I'm not blaming any one rom, I think my phone just doesn't like 4.3 at all lol. I'm gonna keep going through it and see if I find a specific setting or something I may have changed.

Do you clean install..?....i use twrp 2.5 people were having issues with newer versions........put ROM and gapps on SD external.....wipe everything else like 3 times and install....i flash ROM 2 times in a Row for good measure lol couple people do it ......

Well, Shayne has no trouble playing games and I don't either so obviously your phone is broken and must be replaced immediately (or on the 4th when the Note 3 hits the stores)! :laugh::good::laugh: Can't have your phone freezing up when she's trying to call you. Yep, time for a new one! Come to think of it mine is about to break too!
I'm having the same issue running any 4.3 rom as it is a known problem but not on every phone. Not all phones react the same so we must be a few that can't run cm10.2 yet. The issue is being looked into and slowly getting the bugs worked out. I think I'll try the 2.5 twrp to see if that is the main problem with mine. Thanks for the suggestion Shane :good:
Well i thought i remembered seeing that newer versions of twrp wont do the partitions correctly for 4.3....but i may be totally wrong ..sometimes my days blend together and so do words on xda at times .

Yeah I always clean install, I wipe 3 times, flash rom, wipe cache/dalvik again,flash gaps if needed, wipe again and reboot. I'm currently running twrp 2.5 as well....I haven't tried the double flash yet though, I'll give that a go in the morning and see what I can come up with.

oh damn................what a tragedy..............my gosh, I think your phone is a gonner..................you should tell Mrs. Flyingarmbar you need a new one.
personally, I have my phone poised under a magnifying glass in the blaring sun in hopes it will melt on accident so I can get new one. wouldn't you know it, its been cloudy 3 days in a row. DAMN IT.
