It means your systemui.apk crashed. It happens by clashing the two different mods.
Now reflash the neatrom with full wipe.

Any idea why I can't flash new ROMs anymore?

Recently, I tried flashing a new ROM (I forget which one now, not fully important to the story), but when the phone came back on after installing, it did the Samsung and Galaxy boot screens, but the screen went black and never came on. After a couple minutes, the phone would vibrate once, then a few seconds later vibrate 3 quick times, like something force-closed. Only since the screen is black, I can't see what it is.
The only thing I could do was restore the backup, which contains the ROM with all the circle-icons in the notification bar (I forget the name, but it's a 4-section circle battery, a 4-section circle signal, a circle with 3, 1X, or W in the middle, etc).
I've tried 3 different ROMs, and all result in a black screen, force-closing, and having to restore to this ROM. Any ideas why, and any help to fix?

Use Adrynalyne's All-in-one DJ01 .tar, flash it through Odin, re-root, flash RED CWM, flash up to EB01 to whatever ROM you want.
I would also recommend wiping data, cache, and Dalvik cache before you flash anything Froyo-based (when coming from DI01).

[Q] Flashing color Grey problem on background when opening threaded SMS messages

I've noticed that whenever I open my old SMS (threaded messages), there's this grey color flashing on the background that goes out quickly which I find very annoying. I got this when I updated my official firmware to the latest. How do you remove this issue? thanks!

I notice something similar at times, though not always doing the same thing. Sometimes when I open a threaded SMS, or webpage, or app, or... anything that requires the display to reset the entire background, there is a quick flickering of color. For me, the flicker is purple-ish in color, not gray. But I think the effect is the same as what you described. It started after the latest firmware updates. We (Sprint) are checking into this and hopefully will issue a fix in a future firmware update. Stay tuned.

Fading signal .....

Hi all, I have a question. Trying different ROM. And since when swarmed ROM LSJ and LS8 latest, I found that I occasionally drops signal mobilu.A it in a way that, under normal circumstances, the signal icon in blue color (Jelly Bam 4.1.0,5.2.0, Omega v19.2, the Alliance ROM 6, etc.), and are observed two arrows when sending / receiving data. The problem comes when suddenly lit only Sending arrow, flashing in rhythm or signal icon "become white" and it is completely final. I have to switch the phone to airplane mode and turn it on. Drawback is that if the icon "become white", so I can not get through. With origo ROM everything works normally ..... Does anyone know what to do?

id ask a mod to move your thread out of the dev section....before anyone else responds.
if the phones not working for you the way you want with the leaked firmware roms.....go back to a rom that works for you - simples.

Screen white unresponsive phone

I was on my phone using xprivacy and blocking Facebook permissions when I noticed my entire screen was this weird grey colour even the status bar it was all one colour the text hadn't changed though just the background, there were dots of red/ purple on it as well, then the screen just started getting whiter and brighter and lots of lines going across the screen appeared, I tried pushing any of the buttons but nothing happened so I pulled the battery and then rebooted the phone and everything appears fine. If anyone can tell my why this happened, if it'll happen again and if there is anything I can do about it I'll be very grateful
Thanks in advance
PS sorry if this has already been asked I don't have access to a PC for the next few days so I couldn't search

You're not the only one experiencing this.It used to happen on my s2 once in a while and i had to reboot it by taking out the battery.It happens on my nexus 4 as well,except that it reboots itself.I think its related to custom ROM/kernel being installed.Just a software glitch.

OK thanks do you know what could've caused this? (I mean obviously apart from custom ROM/kernel being installed anything you do on the phone or is it just random)
None of the root apps I had installed on the s2 are on the nexus4..nothing in particular.not that I remember of.

Its just happened again how regularly did it happen to you?
Once a month I guess. Go for stock and check.

Swift 2 + screen burn?

Having a bit of a problem since yesterday, all of a sudden the colours on my Swift 2+ have gone really, really dark and on the lock screen I can see shadows/burnt images of the status bar and nav bar almost like overlapping my screen? I thought maybe it was something to do with a theme I installed, so I uninstalled all of them to no avail, so then I thought I'd do a factory reset on my device, still hasn't fixed it... Is this to do with the hardware itself or is it a software issue? Thank you in advance for any help
That happened to me a few times on my swift 2+ but it went away after I restarted the device and it hasn't happened to me since I updated it to the latest software. Also, I think the faded nav bar is something that's part of the software and not screen burn because it's not there when the device is turning on or when it's in the bootloader

Had a similar problem twice recently but by rebooting that got rid of the problem.
