I had access to a Nexus Q, during the time i was using it, i flashed gapps on the Q's stock rom. My question is if i flashed gapps on the L9 (LP769) would gapps install properly? Is there a possibility of bricking my device (which i wouldn't mind because i have a backup)? Although the Nexus Q's bootloader was unlocked, I'm sure that would't have changed the outcome. The only thing that's truly bothering me is since the Q is a Nexus, and since gapps seems to be heavily based of of vanilla android, wouldn't that mean flashing gapps on the L9 more prone to failing? I wouldn't mind being the first to try, but i would like your suggestions.
My phone is dead and I'm not going to be home for about an hour and a half, if not i would try it.
It worked, but it didn't change much, PM me if you want details.

I have the HTC g2 tmobile phone. I have just gotten into the flashing/modding scene, and am having a blast tweaking the phone. I have been trying a lot of roms in the past days trying new ones I like or may not like. Anyway I had the Cyanogen nightly rom on there before I flashed with the virtuous sense v2.0. Everything seemed good until I tried unlocking the phone after the looong reboot. Now when I unlock it I get a lot of force closes. Specifically for messages, and media, then the phone just reboots. Keeps doing the same thing over and over? Any help? If I could just figuire out a way to reboot into recovery and flash w a diff rom, or is there something missing since Im getting the FC from a few things? Thanks a lot!!
hi wtfd00d, if u new to flashing rom and wanna flash a stable rom, try keep yourself away of any custom with name "Nightly/Nightly build" because Nightly build, although is kinda ahead of time, is still in development build and merely for testing. try flashing other rom if you would.
Hi guys,
A couple days ago I installed CM10 with the installer and then CM11 over the air. However I have some problems with the ROM apart from the battery drain and heat, my phone sometimes just randomly freezes, turns itself off and when I turn it back on, the battery dropped at least 20%. My very first question would be, if anyone has a fix for this? I already tried wiping system cache, but it did not fix the issue.
I googled around to find some solution, and it seems that CM 10 is more stable and there are fewer issues with it. I would like to go back to this version, however I'm not entirely sure what should I do. My first step would be wiping everything and factory resetting the phone, as there might be stuff left from the previous ROMs on the phone. I reckon I have two options from this point:
1. Running the CM installer again and have it install CM 10. Is this even possible? Or the installer won't even start given that I have a fresher version of CM?
2. Downloading the latest official ROM from sammobile, flashing that with ODIN and then running the CM installer. If I have to do this method, is there anything that I should extremely be cautious about? Also, I bought the phone in Hungary, but now I'm in England, and I installed CM here. I reckon I'll have to download the Hungarian ROM from sammobile for my phone, could someone please confirm this? The phone is not locked to a carrier anymore (they removed it), can I just flash the general (XEH) Hungarian ROM?
Thank you very much for the help in advance, and sorry for the noob questions!

If you want to downgrade to CM10, just download the cm10.zip and flash it on recovery (remember to wipe /system and all user data first).
If you want the stock rom you can flash a stock rom from any country, althrough it's recommended to flash the rom for the country you are in now.
Also, the battery bug is a device specific bug and cannot be fixed, maybe wiping the battery stats can help.
Thank you! Do you have a Galaxy SII? If yes, do you think that it's worth going back to 10.2 or should I just stick with 11, regardless of the bug?

I'm using cm11 m12 snapshot latest over i9100 .. I dont find any battery bugs as you've explained above !! Battery life is pretty good actually gives me life of around 5-7 hours with wifi on always !! Try this
Im having some trouble with my OPX. I was running CM13 nightly of sept 20th. Today i wanted to update my OPX to the latest nightly, and make a fresh start, so i took some backups of apps, downloaded the latest nightly (not OTA), went into TWRP, did a full wipe, and flashed the 10/15 nightly and opengapps pico package.... Thats when the fun began.
All my phone shows is the Oneplus X logo. (without powered by android). I am able to turn it off, and reboot into recovery, and flash another zip, but so far ive tried flashing 6 different CM13 nightlies, and all give the same result.
I was a pokemon player with root and xposed, so my guess was that systemless xposed, magisk and superSU were causing trouble. So ive tried running all the uninstaller packages, to no avail.
i CAN run a nandroid restore from 1 week ago. i can boot to that nightly version. it works.... but as soon as i try to update it again, or even wipe all data, it doesnt want to boot anymore. i thought that as long as i had TWRP things should be easy to fix, but im running out of ideas. Uninstalling xposed, magisk and superSU in this backup, and rebooting, still works, but the same problem arises after updating.
Im pretty sure the answer is simple as hell, but i must be overlooking something. any sugestions?
I just found out you need a new bootloader... should have looked harder before starting this thread (was searching for over an hour, but in the wrong places). I'll try the guide in the CM thread.
same exact thing happened to me, wasn't aware you needed new bootloader, think you could share the link?

Here.you should always keep an eye on general section,thats where all the guides are,also should read the thread before flashing a rom.
So I have got this Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 3G 10.1" that has been lying in a cupboard for a around a year, mainly because I've been busy Now there's a family member of mine who would really need a tablet so I thought this one would be perfect for her!
From thinking I went on to doing and started with getting rid of the stock software and installing some nice custom ROM.
As I found out i couldn't use USB (probably busted data-cable), I rooted the tab using KingRoot and went on installing CWM recovery. Afterwards long story short: I've tried both CWM and TWRP, different ROM and android versions (Lineage, CM, Slim etc.) and different GApps packages from different developers but the problem still seems to come up :crying:
The problem itself is that when I've installed any of the above mentioned ROMs, all the GApps seem to not have been installed correctly (even though the installation process in recovery went smoothly) and basically none of them works (notifications saying that any GApp has stopped keep on coming up and I can't find any Google app in the menu except something things like "com.google.android..." or "com.android.vending...") otherwise everything seems perfectly fine.
Maybe there are others here experiencing the same issue or there's someone who knows how to fix this here, any help will be very appreciated :good:
Hello,
First, have you checked that the ROM you flashed was fully compatible with your device? Yes, this is obvious, but I have to ask.
Second, I'm not a ROM flashing via custom recovery fan... The best way to efficiently flash a ROM in my opinion is Odin-Download mode but whatever (your USB port is screwed, so pfu.)
Redownloading apps doesn't work for you? (updating the apk may fix that!)

Yes, I do have used ROMs compatible with my device as they've all are made for espresso3g (which is my device).
I know it's not really the best way but I'll keep on trying with custom recovery for some more time and then perhaps try buying a new cable, and see if that works.
Tried installing Google Play Store from APK both on a clean ROM without GApps and with, but it still doesn't run and keeps on saying that either Google Play Store or "com.google.process.gapps" has stopped.
Alright...
I'm out of idea x/

Hello...!
You could try the following....
1. make absolutely sure you are using the correct version of gapps for the custom rom you are currently using. If your custom rom is on android 6, you need gapps for android 6 for example.
2. after flashing gapps wipe cache/dalvik and make a factory reset BEFORE exiting twrp. You will lose personal data but since you are preparing to give the device to somebody else that should not be much of a concern.
Let me know if it helps, if it does not, I might be able to try and provide additional suggestions.
Good luck!

Hi and thanks for your reply!
1. The ROMs I've been trying to install are all android 6.0.1 and I've been trying with different OpenGApps packages for the 6.0 version which should work (except CM 12 which is android 5.1 with which I've tried OpenGApps and A-Gapps for Android 5.1).
2. Tried that with 3 different ROMs today and the results are following: Slimrom gets stuck in setupwizard which doesn't start, CM 12 starts but the same error as first seems to appear (I get notifications about GApps which stop working) and Lineage bootloops the lineage start screen.

Ok...
This is what I would do if it was my device and I was facing what you are describing. It might take some time and a little patience to do everything described here, but it might also work.
1. Usin Odin, flash latest available official rom for the device. Let it boot and complete setup.
2. Use odin and use CF autoroot to root. Again boot and complete setup.
3. Flash Twrp. Enter Twrp and flash latest flashable supersu.zip. At this time I believe is version 2.82. Again boot and let it reach your welcome screen.
4. Enter Twrp. Enter advanced wipe. Wipe everything except external SD and usb at least 3 times. Do not exit twrp.
5. Install you rom. Do not exit Twrp.
6. After installing your rom, Twrp will ask you if you want to wipe cache/dalvik. "Yes" but DO NOT reboot.
7. Install correct version of gapps for your custom rom (correct both android version and architecture version). Again twrp will ask you to wipe cache/dalvik. "Yes" and this time reboot.
See what happens. If it gets stuck, try entering twrp again and do a factory reset only, only once and reboot again.
If that fails again... I will at a loss here myself too...
I did a quick search here on xda on P5100, I am providing some links that you can take a look at. You probably already searched yourself but you never know...

If nothing else helps, perhaps the best way to go around this would be to find a custom rom with at least some google apps pre-installed, in order to save you the trouble you are currently facing.

Hey, just try uninstalling Google play services and install them again. I faced the same issue and now it's all working on my Samsung Galaxy Core 2
Ok, a bit of backstory:
This is the Canadian Honor 5x, also known as Huawei GR5. After finally unlocking the bootloader, I was able to flash TWRP (3.3.1-0) on it. After flashing AOSIP for it, It was working mostly fine, aside from some basic apps crashing constantly (such as download manager) so I tried to flash gapps afterwards (I know this isn't how it should be done). It started to bootloop.
Then I tried the following without success:
Flashed ROM and Gapps before rebooting; Bootloops
Flashed ROM without Gapps; Works but apps crashes and no googleplay (obviously)
Sideloaded LineageOS with gapps; Same issue as first one.
Wiped Caches and data before flashing ROM (no gapps); Same as first one but crashing apps aren't crashing anymore.
The last thing I tried landed me here: I decided to do the last item on the list but also wiped System. Now I can't install or sideload anything.
Did I shoot myself in the foot here? Is it gone for good?? I need help with this.

First, you need to be on the latest stock firmware. Before unlocking the bootloader, upgrade to marshmallow to get the marshmallow firmware. You will get issues if you don't have the marshmallow firmware as all custom ROM built on that.
AOSiP was built from LineageOs.
Also note, Important note:
Stock Firmware B360 and B370 are known to cause boot loops!
(Generally: if your stock ROM supports VoLTE it is likely that it is also affected!)
All others might work, please do not ask in here how to up- or downgrade!

Note: In case you want to use any gapps, YOU MUST install the right gapps the first time that you flash a marshmallow ROM. Do not boot with an older gapps or without one and then try to install it later.

I have indeed read this on the AOSiP thread. Although instead of repeating something I was already aware of, you could specify what is VoLTE since no matter how many time I read it I wont know what it means. If its Voice Over LTE I doubt it. I don't have LTE on my carrier.

okay, sorry for not understanding you. You ain't a noob. So I should expect you did a clean install. Wiping Dalvik/ART Cache, Cache, Data, Internal Storage and System. this will give you a clean slate. And be on the latest TWRP which you already are in. If that fails, I can't help beyond that. VOLTE is Voice Over LTE. You are correct.
