Hello all
My GApps when installed on any 4.4+ ROM will randomly crash the device on boot during the setup wizard.
Why is this happening?

I cant remember ever seeing those, but that doesnt mean they dont exist. Again, just double check those and make sure its for 4.4
Have you tried flashing different gapps just for giggles and see what happens?
Obviously make sure they are for your device, but if its Jaime's rom, I know there are a choices.
Good luck, off to work. But ill check back on ya.

It's for 4.4, and there's another for 4.4.2. All tested, and the same phone crashes occur.

The next step would be to make sure you are clean. Do all your wipes. Also make sure you are formatting system.
Double check, make sure you are wiping your Davlik and Cache after flash.
Maybe you have done all this, but I always go back to square 1 and make sure I execute everything. 1 little miss can throw everything out of whack.

Hello,
First and foremost, I'm loving this rom. I'm a noob and getting my hands dirty figuring all this out.
Now with that said:
When I try to connect to my wifi network it keeps saying authentication error occurred. I have tried everything and the only thing that fixes it is restoring my backup to my stock rom.
Please help!!!!

I will say 90% of the people in here will say it is not the rom. just because theres seems to work. and i tend to agree. what have you tried to fix it? besides going back (to Stock). i have not had any issues with WiFi on Serephim yet, so i can not say what a fix would be. maybe wipe your cache's. when i had that issue on GB i had to reinstall the kernel and boom it worked. but seeing as though we do not have one yet for ICS. i would say wipe and worst case reinstall the from after a very Thurough Wiping Process.

Then if your into flashing right now, just try either the superwipe.
Or this is how i wipe.
I factory default/format usb from inside the rom.
I wipe factory/data from cwm
i wipe cache partition from cwm
i wipe delvik from cwm
then i flash "Rom" and reboot.
this leaves nothing from previous roms and or Gingerbreak roms.
try that and see if it works. if not then i am out of ideas until a kernel source is released.
Ok i will try that and see if it works...
Thank you!!!

Have you tried doing a factory data reset from recovery mode? Couldn't hurt to delete cache partitions as well.

Sorry but I have to ask, are you sure your running a Samsung vibrant ROM? I have heard people talk about having button problems but that's usually when they flash a ROM meant for the samsung i9000. If you are positive your running a Vibrant ROM then look in the thread for your ROM and look for a button fix, usually in the .zip format. If your ROM was ported over from a different phone then there would be a button fix somewhere, if you can't fix it then use this app until we figure out your problem

If you flashed back to stock and it still didn't work, it is a hardware problem. Try (after flashing to stock) take it back to the T-Mobile store.
Good morning guys. I'm having trouble with my Samsung galaxy SGH-I777. Every time I open an app that uses he camera (ie camera, barcode scanner, flashlight, camera) he flash goes off then it just reboots he phone. I've already done a factory restore. I even went into recovery mode and wipe cache and did a restore from there. I've also just downloaded the new ICS update and it still didn't fix the problem. Please help
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
when you say factory restore does that mean you completely wiped the phone and flashed back to stock rom. If not, that's what I would do to determine if we're looking at a hardware or software issue.
No I didn't flash it back to stock. How would I even do that?

I would flash back to stock. If it still does it, bring it in to at&t service center and show them. They can give you a replacement. Or you can call them. Just make sure your on non rooted stock firmware.
a full wipe and reflash is required before posting any problems. because99 % of the time it's user error. Did you fully wipe system, cache, data, and run the kernel cleaning scriptbefore posting this issue?

Yes. I did a full wipe and restore. Installed a new rom and still nothing can I maybe install a new camera apk?

IF this is happening across roms, and assuming correct firmware, with a clean install (factory reset, no misc apps installed) then I'd say you have a hardware problem. If you've flashed incorrect firmware then a reset won't help you until you flash back to the correct firmware. Of course all of this moot if its physical damage caused by dropping the phone or maybe water damage. If you're completely stock and haven't subjected the phone to any physical abuse, then return the phone for a new one.

This.
Run fix permissions in recovery (last resort).
I keep reading people suggesting wiping multiple times before flashing a different ROM. Could I get a few people to sound off on the subject? I don't see why you would need to but I am in no way an expert and am hoping to learn something from these responses. Thanks!
Better safe than sorry. Only takes a few seconds.

I've heard both sides of the issue. Some state that you should do it just to make sure to get everything cleaned out in case something was missed the first time. I've also heard that you shouldn't do it, as it puts unnecessary formats on your memory and isn't really needed. I don't wipe multiple times and I don't run into issues.

I don't multiple wipe. But I do wipe multiple areas - system, cache and dalvik every time. Works fine for me.
I was wondering how it could possibly help but I don't know everything for sure

"Full" wipes help with FC and random reboot issues between ROMs. They're not always required, but they do help to ensure "clean" installs and minimal issues when switching ROMs.

multiple wipes was only necessary for older cwm recovery. *it had a bug and wouldnt wipe properly*
newer cwm and twrp2 you have no need to wipe more then once but if it makes you feel better then go ahead

It probably also comes from people having little idea to what is going on.

I found this to make a big difference. When flashing a new rom, make sure you wipe the system before flashing (never used to do this, now I'm finding my fresh installs less buggy). If doing a dirty flash, wipe cache, Dalvik and fix Permissions after.

OK, that's about what I was thinking. I always wipe system, cache, dalvic, and usually do a factory reset. Thanks for the help everyone
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
If you do a factory reset... That wipes the dalvik cache, as that resides on the data partition. That also wipes the cache partition as well.
And any dev worth flashing a Rom from should have it format /system in the script.
All i have done for ages is factory reset and flash.
I have an AT&T i717 running ics stock rom. I installed cwm 5.0. something and was intending on installing the CM10 JellyBean rom from paranoid. It would not install from sd card. tried another rom from diff developer, same thing. I read that I needed an updated cwm so I tried to flash another, wouldnt work with the version of ODIN i had so i upgraded to v3.07, was able to flash another and then when I went to recovery it stayed in a black screen, reflashed the older version of cwm and now when I go to recovery it will show the main screen, but if I try to install or even reboot it takes the menu away and shows the symbol in the center. Am I just completely stupid? Have I missed something?

Did it work?
Figured it out. Cleared both cache and delvik Cache and did a factory reset. worked like a charm. thanks for the help and I hope this helps others as well.
Just for future reference, also wiping system along with wiping cache/dalvik and factory reset is good practice. Sometimes not wiping system can cause some issues.
