fine all day, rebooted and now it's gone nuts!
hmm, ok.
i had installed some youtube things last night and replaced the original - reboot - same.
unchecked some xposted mod for blocking ads - same after reboot.

Hey guys,
I got an SGS2 a couple of weeks ago, and it has just started giving problems...
I have done no Kernel modifications / CustomROM installation...
1> Gallery takes time to load and is jerky after it loads
2> Angry Birds stops randomly and goes into a boot loop [Rovio Screen -> Angry Birds splash image -> Rovio Screen]
3> Lag on pressing power button to turn on the screen... about half a second or so [this has always been happening]
4> On disconnecting a call sometimes it goes back to dialler, sometimes it goes back to the Lock Screen. [even if i opened the Dialler to make the call]
5> Some Applications installed from the Market don't show up in my app drawer, but i can start them up from the "Downloaded Apps" section in the Market.[This has happened with 5 - 6 applications.]
6> Sometimes even after getting a "Installation Successful" message the app doesn't show up in the Market or the App drawer. [This has happened with 4 - 5 applications.]
7> Sometimes after uninstalling an Application, it still shows up in my App Drawer, but says unable to start application when i click on it.
I presume [hoping] these are just bugs in the OS rather than Hardware problems...
I have 3 launchers: TouchWiz [I Never use this], AWDLauncherEX [Used to use this], LauncherPro Free [Testing this out]
I play Gun Bros on my phone quite often... i have no Issues with it.
I installed TheftAware on my system and enabled it. The trial period ran out [Thought it was free ] so i uninstalled it.
Any ideas guys?
Since the above mentioned glitches are fairly minor, i'm waiting for a good CustomROM based on KE8 to be released before i factory reset my Phone.

No
Try factory reset first followed by a return under warranty is what i would do.
KE8 is now old KF1 KF4 .

OK, so I successfully installed the ROM. It works fine and all until I actually use openscript on the terminal. For example, I wanted to change CPU frequency. I changed it, quit the terminal, and checked the frequency in system information. It was successful. But After about a minute my screen suddenly locked and here is the current situation. The locking screen works fine (I had the pattern lock), I can even open emergency calls. But when I unlock it, the only thing I see is the notification bar (which works btw, clock, wifi , all the icons are there, I can slide it down and up and so on). Everything else is just black. The buttons work - I can quit the notification tab buy clicking back or home or something like that. But I dont see my home screen, menu, buttons - nothing. I can lock it again, and it works fine again in the lock screen but afterwards same black screen again. Reboot does not work.
So I reinstalled the rom. Immediately after installing changed the frequency and waited for a bit. Everything was fine. I installed all the crap I usually have and kept using the phone. But the next day, I got annoyed by the music player and decided to change it again via the openscript. Same thing happened. And this is where I am stuck right now (actually this is already the third time I have this problem in 3 days and it's my third reinstall of the rom, but the first one also happened after using openscript to change frequency.)
So is there a way to fix this without reinstalling the rom again, cause I've customized the **** out of it and I don't wanna do it again. If no, how can I prevent this in the future?
P.S. If this helps, when rebooting, I hear the sound before the android splash screen which is sometimes skipped and sometimes shown for an unusually short time.
P.P.S. Also, I have the apps2sd flashed.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Got same problem
Hi,
Even I got same problem when I tried to change boot animation. Just blank screen.
But i realised it is due to, launcher app is not initiated. So tried a trick which worked indeed
Trick is when u are in a blank screen, click "HOME" button which will pop u up the list of launchers u have. Click One of them though they r not visible
Voilaa!!! Your screen is back

So I'm running ROW S227 8GB. I drained my phone until it shutdown itself, I was trying to completely drain it so I booted it up again then it said on the left bottom of the screen "Safe Mode" and all the downloaded apps begun to disappear. Then it shut down again, then I charged it. But upon booting, all the missing apps didn't come back. How do I get them back? Although the apps are listed in my app manager in the settings, I can't put them back on my home screen ??? help me please.
Restart it again after 5 minutes. Safe mode text will disappear.

Hey, i have a problem with my phone not being able to be waked up with pressing the hard key or dubbletapping on the screen. When i press the power button to wake it up, the soft-keys lights up, but not the screen. It stays completely dark. The only way for me to access my phone, is to force shutdown by holding down the powerbutton. It started like 2 days ago, but i thought; that won't be a problem. I'll just force a shutdown when it happens. But today i revived a phone call, but i wasn't able to pick up the phone, because my screen turned dark. Again softkeys turned on but not the screen.
Using a Oneplus One, with the latest CM12.1 nightlies (That might be the problem), rooted, twrp, and a bunch of xposed modules.

Or maybe it is Xposed that causing the issue. Are you using the latest Xposed version (v75)? If yes, try to uninstall Xposed through recovery and check whether the issue still persists. Otherwise update to the latest Xposed version and check again.
If Xposed isn't the culprit, revert back to an older nightly version of CM12.1 which is known to work without issues and wait for a new nightly or - even better - a stable release.

Problem solved
It seems like it was the xposed module "YouTube background play" that caused the problem. Simply disabling it, made my phone work as normal. Still don't see how a module for YouTube can cause so much damage..
Thanks for the help

I am at the end of my rope with this. Several days ago my s5 started refusing to drop down the notification panel and the quick settings menu. I'm running stock rooted kitkat 4.4.2. I did a factory reset, disabled xposed (in case some notification bar mod was causing this even though I hadn't changed my xposed settings for months), got a replacement SIM card, went back to an earlier version of google, and now sometimes it will work for a whole day and then stop responding again. I took out the external SD card and it still does it. I uninstalled anything new (not much) that had recently been installed. I have been using Nova as my launcher, so I tried going back to just Touchwiz, but no change. I unfroze EVERYTHING I had frozen with TiBu and that didn't help.
It's not just the drop down screens, when I open Titanium Backup and try to use the "clear" or "menu" buttons at the top of the screen, they don't respond either. It's like something is freezing the top half inch of the screen (I measured it in frustration).
I went into the diagnostic menu and checked the screen and everything is responding as far as I can tell--the line goes up to about an eighth of an inch from the top of the screen but the pictures for this when I googled looked like that so maybe they aren't supposed to reach the actual top of the screen.
I installed an app (Expand Status Bar) that will let you drop down either the notification bar or the quick settings, and that always works, so the function is still there in the operating system.
Googling shows that several models at least of Samsung, and even some Sony, are showing this problem and nobody seems to know how to fix it.
Has anyone got any clues they can give me about this? I can't seem to find what the problem is.
Update--I tried flashing Hispasian Kernel but it didn't solve the problem. Well, it was worth a try.
