I've tried reinstalling a number of times to no avail, and the thread in the development section doesn't seem to have anything relating to this, but every time I install Vegan-TAB Gingeredition RC1 it's missing the default browser. The tablet boots up just fine, but it's nowhere to be found, not in the dock nor in the application list. I've rebooted, connected to wireless, rebooted again, still nothing. An attempt at a manual install from /system/app/Browser.apk gives me a parsing failure, but I'm not sure if that's supposed to work anyway.
I've also tried re-downloading the zip and the MD5 sums seem to match.
My install method was pretty standard : nvflash to a version with CW, reboot, install 3588 (clear everything), reboot, reinstall CW, reboot, install vegan, clear cache/data/dalvik, reboot.
On top of this, any attempt at opening VeganTAB Settings inside settings immediately crashes.
I feel like it's probably something small and stupid that I'm doing wrong, since everyone else seems to have it working. Any thoughts?
Do you mean the market or a web browser?
If its the market then you need to install gapps
Have you tried using Calkulin's format all? It's attached to this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=985705
Just flash like any update.zip and it will erase everything. Be prepared to have everything erased ...
You could also try repartitioning the SDCard, which will also make sure everything is completely gone ...

The web browser. The market shows up when I connect to a wireless network. I believe gapps is already installed in this ROM.

Hadn't seen that before, I'll give it a whirl when I get home. I keep backup copies on an SD card so I'm fine with blowing everything away. I've repartitioned via CW as well and that didn't seem to help.
I'll see if this fixes it. Thanks!
That seemed to do the trick. I ran the FORMAT ALL script, repartitioned, and even did a manual format of /sdcard. After going from the stock image to 3588, the install of Vegan seemed to work great. Couldn't be happier.
Thanks for the help!
Hi all,
Was running CM9 rc1 with no problems then upgraded to RC2 then to CM9 nightly 20120804. Installed Siyah Kernel by flashing in CWM recovery and added a second ROM (winamlite). Now superuser says it is denied superuser permissions in CM9. It works fine in Winamlite though.
I have tried reflashing CM9 nightly which reinstalled the CM kernel which didn't help and then reflashed siyah kernel. Still no luck. Read quite a few posts and tried a lot but nothing does the trick (flashed latest superuser from CWM, wiped superuser data, tried to install root from within extweaks).
Can someone point me in the right direction to sort this please?
Thanks,
Max

Wipe cm9 completely, flash it again, flash Siyah kernel on cm9, and flash the same siyah zip for wanamlite
Try it and it should be working, I did something like this when I had this problem

Do you mean factory wipe data/reset? Thought this might be the case and was trying to avoid it as had just got the phone set up how I want it. Saying that I am going to upgrade to the stable CM9 so now's as good a time as any.
If I am going to go through with this, is there a way to completely wipe ALL data from my phone? Everything from photos, emails, old app data etc. I have done a factory wipe before but it seemed to leave some files and folders on the phone. (or maybe my memory is failing me).
Looks like I have my weekend planned out for me then. If only the sun would bu99er off and let me geek out without the guilt...
Thanks for the help.
p.s. Sorry for posting this thread in the wrong place MODs and thanks for moving it.

So you wanna wipe your sdcard too? It's not necessary though it's of course possible. You gotta reboot in to recovery, wipe data/factory reset, go to mounts and storage, format /system, if you wanna wipe your sdcard, you click on Mount /sdcard and then click on format /sdcard.
After all that is done, now go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache and wipe battery stats.
Now your phone is completely wiped. Actually, wanamlite ROM would still stay. Like you said before, you've lost the ability to dual boot. That means that your kernel changed from siyah to cm9. To remove wanamlite too, you need to get siyah kernel (this can be done before doing the above or after doing the above) and then you need to boot in to recovery, dual boot options, remove 2nd ROM
Sent from my S II Monster
If you format /sdcard, 2nd ROM will not work since there are no data and cache images.
If you install WanamLite zip through dual-boot options, it will prevent from installing other kernel.
About wiping /data. After wiping, those folders will be created always when Android is running, cause they're necessary.

Yeah I totally forgot to tell him that 2nd ROM won't be there if he wipes sdcard.
However, wiping /data will wipe the folders and again create the folders. It's true but the new folders won't have stuff from the previous ROM. So it's recommended when flashing a new ROM. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hello, I'm running RR 2.6.1 with Dorimanx's latest kernel and I've run into a huge problem.
I'm not sure what the trigger is but I think it could be updating the SuperSU app, or it could just be that I'm super unlucky. In any case, I really really hope someone will be able to help me here.
I was facing random freezes and SODs on the kernel but I was in the midst of tweaking my settings to see if I could fix it. I updated the SuperSU app on the bus on the way home, went home & tried to power my phone on but it wouldn't work so I force-restarted by holding down the power button. When it rebooted, I had all sorts of FCs so I went to CWM Recovery & cleared cache & dalvik & fixed permissions. Nothing worked. Here's what I've tried so far:
- reflashing the kernel
- reflashing the ROM
- re-rooting via Odin
- flashing another kernel (I tried fluxi but it was stuck at the animation screen & wouldn't boot)
- Googled for how to fix process.acore and Gapps FCs, tried to clear all the Google-related apps' data but they wouldn't clear
- trying to delete the apparent offending files from /data/data/... via adb and Android Explorer but it didn't work, kept saying it was read-only or something, even though I followed all the instructions to SU and mount as RW
By this time, exTweaks didn't recognise the kernel as compatible, Whatsapp and TB FC'd, just about everything FC'd.
I went into CWM Recovery to try and make a Nandroid but it said "Error while making a backup of /data".
I am truly at my wits' end. My phone wouldn't even let me access it after the right passcode was input. At this point, I just want to go in and backup my Whatsapp and relevant TB apps.
Please, if anyone is able to help me, PM me or something. I'm on Skype if you're so kind as to be willing to walk me through anything you think may help.
Thank you.
Flash a clean ROM, wipe cache and dalvik, do a factory reset and start from scratch.
Multiple fc can be caused due to several reasons like:
-wrong phone.apk
-wrong framework
-wrong ROM
-too much undervolt
Sorry for telling but my first sentence might be your fastest approach.

Try the following:
-Download this: Ultimate kernel cleaning script
-Reboot to CWM recovery
-Flash Ultimate kernel cleaning script
-Under kernel specific option, Reset extweaks settings
-format /system (under Mount and storage)
-Flash ROM (RR 2.61)
-Flash Gapps
-wipe cache partion
-wipe dalvik cache (under advanced)
-fix permissions (under advanced)
-Reboot your phone
My above steps will not wipe your and should definitely fix your problem
good luck
Thank you both for your suggestions!
Unfortunately, I didn't get to try them but I'll definitely be checking this again if (touch wood) this happens again. Hopefully it'll be useful to someone else facing similar issues, I know I couldn't find clear answers on what to do.
@jokesy If the /data partition is somehow stuck at read-only, I'm not sure formatting /system will help. I could be wrong, I apologise if I sound ungrateful ('cause I do appreciate your help) but wouldn't reflashing a ROM kind of overwrite the existing /system files already?
I'm not aware of the details and technicalities of what exactly happens during a ROM flash but according to the AROMA installer, it seems like /system is wiped first.
What I did
Gave up on backing up apps & WhatsApp through the normal ways, most of my TB apps are backed up daily anyway, just lost some data like that for Sleepbot.
Pulled WhatsApp database files from /data/data/com.whatsapp via ADB, restored the previous day's Nandroid backup & copied the database files to the relevant directory. I guess it may seem minor, but as everything was melting down on my phone, I kept getting messages from friends about project work in school & other stuff that I couldn't read so I really wanted to not lose all the new messages that had come in.
Restoring my Nandroid (thank God I backup daily) fixed everything, fortunately, but there are little quirks I'm still ironing out. Eg. My Godville app can't seem to connect to the main server & retrieve details of my character despite clearing data, uninstalling & reinstalling. Not too sure why.. :/

@Tyrol
Ididn't know you were using aroma installer though, but formatting /system has nothing to ago with /data sms vice versa
Following my wouldn't have hurt though, ur would only ensure a clean system partition before install.
I'm happy for you
Better luck next time

Tough luck man. I don't know why the data corrupts spontaneously, it happened once to me when I was playing Plague, everything started FC-ing all of a sudden while I was in-game. Bizarre. Didn't want to do a full wipe so I just restored the /data partition from my latest Nandroid.

サンソングガラクシS II からタパトクで書いた。
Alright, I hope I have this in the right place. I just recently flashed the TerraSilent Kernel for the Galaxy Player 4.0 US version. The Flash went fine, but my device was running extremely slowly. A re-flash didn't solve it either. I figured that wiping the cache partition might solve the problem - I decided to do this before running a backup, since no important data is stored in the cache (...right?), and since I was worried that backing up while I had this problem could make things worse - so I went ahead into CWM and did just that. Then, it reboots, and I nearly get a heart attack. The stock wallpaper is back, it's using the default launcher again (I had LauncherPro installed), and pretty much only system apps work, all the others have an icon with an SD card on it, and when clicked on, it says something like "application not installed". I did some searching, and it seemed like a reboot might help (although I didn't find anyone with a problem like mine anywhere). The reboot didn't do anything, so now I have it shut down, so that nothing can happen. The odd thing is, it doesn't seem to me like the system messed up and did a full wipe instead, either, because a couple of things I have are still there - for example, some of my bookmarks I made on the homescreen while still using the default launcher are still there. I'm really confused because I have wiped the cache partition before, when I was still on an unmodified stock kernel, and everything stayed the same, the way I thought it was supposed to. And now this happens. What do I do now? I exported my absolute most important data (Astrid Tasks and Calendar) before I installed TerraSilent (but I obviously wasn't able to do a full backup because I wasn't rooted, I figured installing TerraSilent would root it), so my absolute most important data is on my computer. I also did a simple file backup of the internal USB storage and external SD card to another computer before flashing TerraSilent. However, there is still a good deal of data still need, and a lot of data that would just be a pain in the rear to recreate, not to mention my (valuable to me) game data. What did I do wrong - or did something in the system mess up? And - what do I do to get back to where I was before?
It happened to me when I was on gingerbread with terrasilent. It's a known issue with this kernel. In fact, you didn't wipe the data, but the recovery contain a bug wich format the data as soon as you do an operation wich mount the data partition(I think it's this but I can't remind) but it doesn't wipe the system or anythin else, so the icon, setting and everything else stay there but without anything attach to them. I don't remind what was causing it, I only stopped using cwm with this kernel unless I wanted to flash something or to wipe everything. Sorry but I can't help you more as I don't remind everything, it's been a while since I've been on gingerbread.

Wasn't that problem solved with a later version of the kernel though?
And, assuming that's what happened (what you describe sounds pretty much like what happened to me), would that mean that the only way to try and get it back would be by trying to recover the formatted data?

It was said to be resolved, but it happened to some peoples even thought. Maybe you can recover some of your data with your computer and some tools that let you get the erased data, but I can't guarantee the integrity of your data and you would need to replace every bit of data that was there before to get it running nicely. The easiest way would be to try to recover some of your important data, put it on your computer then wipe your player and start from scratch (wipe data/factory reset) and reinstall your apps. Then put back the save, or setting or files that you got back in your apps. Hope this help, I'm not a proffessional with data recovering or where to put it back after you got it, maybe someone else could further help you with this.
And the conclusion...

OK, my reply is late, but thanks for your help. I managed to copy the partition with all the deleted contents over to the computer, and I'll have to study the contents some other time, because I've spent about 24+ hours on this problem in total, and need my device for more important purposes - those for which the data I managed to copy before the custom kernel and everything else. For those of you who have a similar issue, this is how I managed to save (or that is I am 95% sure this will have saved at least some, as I said I haven't studied it yet) what I hope is a good chunk of my data.
Have you tried flashing a different kernel? Terrasilent also gave me some weird in that after a few days my device would boot into recovery by itself then wipe all my data in that only my system apps would remain. So it's a little different than what's happened to you. I ended up using klin's R3 kernel or Steven's kernel that fixed the issue.

I've got huge issue with steve's kernel. You can get into recovery, but once you booted in it will simply bootloop. Then you have to flash back with odin. So if you go with steve's kernel, don't boot into recovery. As for klin's kernel, I've never tried it, and will probably never as we have some really nice jellybean rom that I recommend you.
I never got that issue with steve's kernel.

Actually, with my problem, my system apps did remain, so it's almost the same problem, only my device didn't boot into recovery on its own (seriously, it booted into recovery on its own and wiped the data? ). I only installed the terrasilent kernel to be able to upgrade to JB, so I'm now on JB, running into different problem (the wrong settings are being backed up from google backup, they're restoring from my galaxy mini 2), but thanks anyway. I am really not having any luck at all with this whole update . But ti-pich, I agree with you, that JB rom is awesome

Yes it did, after 1 week. I was like ???. I reflashed it again and it did the same exact thing, and it happened to me while I was at my college too.
I also had that same issue where it was restoring from the wrong device. I just had to reflash the rom, and install stuff manually because it was making my device horribly slow.

Wow that is some scary stuff, now I know why every kernel/ROM/mod has a disclaimer at the beginning ... I'm glad I'm off that now and on a stable JB build now. I found a way to have it restore at least some of the stuff from when it was on gingerbread (mostly apps and appdata, no WiFi passwords or other settings - at least I'm pretty sure, I'm still working on getting all the stuff up and running) - go into a terminal, and type
Code:
bmgr list sets
It will probably have two different sets, one for when it was on GB and one for JB - or that is, if you had the problem, there will probably be a third set for a different device (maybe more). Then, choose the one you want to restore from, and type
Code:
bmgr restore xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
and replace xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with the apropriate ID from the command before. I'm having to type it several times in order to get it to work - I type it once, it restores some apps, then stops, I type it again, and it restores some more - but I'm hoping it gets as much possible onto the JB build. I guess this won't help you much, I've seen you saying on the ICS and JB threads that you've upgraded a while ago, but I guess if someone else comes along with the same problem, I hope it will help

hmmm. I'm about to try Terrasilent with my YP-G1 (US version) running 2.3.6. This is giving me second thoughts. Does this kernel still cause issues with SGP 4.0s running GB 2.3.6?? Maybe I should try the old Steves Kernel? I just want to use voodoo sound - thats really the only reason I want to root and get these kernels.
Hey all, I need to know what am I doing wrong.
I have flashed OMNI and CM, and I'm getting the same issue with both.
My phone stops working and I have to hold power button to shut down. This happens many times a day with no apparent reason, on the most different scenarios. I want to know if this happens because they're nightly builds, and thus unstable (everyone should have issues) or if I'm doing something wrong.
To flash, this is what I did:
-Installed latest CWM Recovery from ROM Manager (Play Store) with superuser access;
-Download zips (nightly build + gapps) on computer and transfer them to phone;
-Boot into recovery mode;
-Wipe data/factory reset;
-Flash ROM, and then GApps;
-Reboot.
I appreciate the help in advance!

You should be using a cleaning script or doing it manually. For the script, have a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832326
And yes, those are nightlies. Mostly they do not create problems but often, they do. Hence, if you want to use your phone other than for testing purposes, I suggest stick to the stable ROMs

Ok, clearly the reason for the problems isn't the nightlies, because I flashed the latest stable CM ROM (10.2), and I'm still getting random freezes. Guess the only reason is the cleaning script, as you said.
Only problem is, I don't have an external SD, so my internal SD can't be erased, or I won't be able to flash anything.
Which of the scripts should I use?

It is not a good idea to be flashing new ROMs without an external SD card. I usually wipe everything before flashing. However, try the SimpleWipe and see if that makes a difference.
Totally agree with Hamza18 you should not really be flashing roms without a external sd card it comes in handy for storing backups/roms etc if problems arise while flashing.Although you can of course flash without a external card I would not recommend it as you are limiting your options if anything goes wrong.
I personally use Philz recovery which as a setting for wiping phone probably ready to install new rom,but I would be careful if you don't have a external card...
OK, thanks for the advice, I'll now use an external SD when flashing.
As for the freezing issue, I didn't use the methods mentioned, all I did was run Dummy File Generator a couple of times, and my device didn't freeze today yet, which is a big improvement!
