Flashed the new Viper rom when it came out, and everything was fine, until yesterday. So i'm not sure it's the rom, but I can't find an answer anywhere.
Every text I try to send I get the little clock icon and the text doesn't send, until I reboot the phone.
Any ideas on what to do?

We had no issues like that in testing.
Could be a combination of themes and mods.
I would try a "dirty flash" of rom with no wipe. That will overwrite any theme you had, and see if that helps.

Hi all, i'm using Froydvillian, and have applied both the Samsung Galaxy and Mininmal Matt ports which have been ported over for this specific ROM, and for some reason, on both, the drop down notification menu and the taskbar at the top are staying standard.
Both work when i wipe the device from recovery then flash, but once i restart the phone the problem occurs again!!!! why is this happening!! please reply asap as i'm going on holiday in 3 days and wish for this to be resolved.
Thanks in advance,

Not sure what you mean here. Did you flash one theme over another? Also, to undo themes, a wipe isn't enough. You need to fully reflash the stock ROM to get rid of themes.
Also, after installing a theme, don't install another over it unless you fully reflash the ROM again.
Thanks for the quick reply what i mean is, i flashed The latest Froydvillian ROM, and have been using it for a few days. However, when i downloaded and flashed the Samsung Galaxy theme for it, certain aspects of the theme didn't work, such as the notification pull down menu, and the taskbar at the top. They both stayed standard with the later text or symbols, but the colours and design was not the them.
I found out if i boot into recovery and wipe all settings, then flash the theme it works correctly, however if i reboot the phone it reverts back to the mismatched and ugly theme!
I have encountered this problem many times *zeik* it's so stupid! Anyways for my themes it worked for me to modify the update-script so it deletes the files before copying (since you probably have no idea what i'm talking about copy/paste it and PM the developer xD). I am very bussy right now so I can't do it but I'm sure the themer will do it for you (it's a very simple task)
Hey.. I just flashed a rom to my droid eris and the Rom worked fine and everything was great until i realized that i CANT receive text messages! So i tried resetting everything and flashing some other roms until it worked and it still doesnt work.

Which rom are you using and what have you flashed? First thing I'd suggest trying is to flash a 2.1 rom such as xtrsense. Open market and install the app APN backup/restore. Backup your APN with the app. Flash the rom you want to use, install APN backup/restore and then restore APN. That would be my first suggestion, it's worked for several others that I'm aware of.
+1 what CondemnedSoul said.
I had that problem. I unrooted, then could receive text after that. so rerooted and flashed the rom back and was still able to receive, so that was my fix.

Yes... you can' also do it this way but I would only suggest this as a last resort.
i'm actually having the same problem after flashing to GSB 1.2. When i was on 1.2 i couldn't send or receive and now that i'm on 1.4 i can send but not receive. i would have asked in the GSB thread but apparently you don't know anything about anything if you don't have more than 10 posts...

See post 2 above. I still say try that first before unroot and root again.
Sent from my Ginger Tazz using XDA App
I just realized same thing happened to me...
I have the same problem ever since flashing from GSB v1.2 to v1.4. Tried nand restore back to FroShedYo and KaosFroyo...no dice. Gonna try CondemnedSoul's suggestion. Hope it works!
btw My gmail stopped syncing also at the same time, but worked when I went back to Froyo.
[edit] Thanks to CondemnedSoul my eris is rockin GSB v1.6 and EVERYTHING works!!

Go with what I suggested for the text problem. As far as gmail... Check your accounts and sync and make sure gmail is enabled to sync.
This has happened to me many times before. Notably, it also happens if I leave WiFi on when I reboot my phone. Here's what I do (in order, usually step one or two works, I've only ever had to unroot once):
1. Turn airplane mode on, reboot the phone, turn airplane mode off
2. If your previous ROM was running the same version of android, restore a Titanium backup of your dialer storage and reboot
3. APN backup/restore, as mentioned before
4. Unroot, reroot, reflash, as mentioned before
To test, remember you can always send your own number text messages

Gotta love Calvin and Hobbes!
Did the fix and everything works and my gmail not being enabled was the problem. Never thought to check that
Installed ressurection remix 3.1.2, all went well, love it. My first foray into Custom Roms and loving it :good:
Discovered today I cannot send Mms, done my research and tried instructions through faq provided by Petrifyre to update the SMCS - here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26793521&postcount=38793
I must have done it wrong (I didn't understand it that well if i am honest!) now I cannot even send sms, never mind mms , i am gonna do a fresh install, this time remembering to make a back up but i guess it wont work again so will need guiding through it.
Any chance of anyone walking me through it? Please help a noob out.
Thx in advance

Sorry, this is not what you want to hear but ...
... next time use SMS Backup & Restore app from Play store before flashing a new ROM or wiping your data.
That's the way you should process everytime.
Before wiping or flashing, backup everything you don't want to lose.

yeah, i realise i have alot to learn, but i am a quick learner.
My immediate issue is i have buggered up phone, tried a re installation of rom to try and fix issue but to no avail, i have tried my sim card in another phone and it does not send texts from this even. Have i knackered my sim card?

i dont think that has happened cuz of the custom rom installation... jus call customer care and get the issue resolved. mostly u will need to configure MMS settings & Message Center Number(for SMS).

You won't have buggered up your SIM card - very VERY unlikely you will have done any hard damage by installing a custom ROM!
What you probably will have done is messed up your mobile internet/MMS APN settings. It's a major issue in any custom ROMs - mainly the ones that are CM based or anything non Samsung ROM based. I was having major problems with it - i use SlimBean on my S2 with Dorimanx kernel. It always fails, but after i deleted all the access points completely and then created the 2 ones specific to my network (o2), and then cleared all the App Data for messaging (very important otherwise it will still fail), all works great. By App data i mean going into the settings menu, and then into Apps, find the Messaging app, then you will see an option to Clear Cache/Clear Data. do this then force stop (NOT disable). This will ensure all works nicely.
I tried all the info on the web for setting up the APNs, none seemed to work properly - in the end i put an original Samsung ROM on, then noted down all the settings for the working APNs; then re-flashed the custom ROM, and deleted old APNs and created two new ones based on my noted settings.
Using custom ROMs is always a challenge as most people have different things installed in different ways. it's a steep learning curve, but satisfying when it works - I now find that if i try a proper Sammy ROM I end up going back to the custom ones in a day or less as they are better
When i go into messaging i get a balck screen and instantly get a vibration, then after a few scondes get 3 fast vibrations and the messaging app closes.
I sent a message from other phone to my s3 but i dont get the message.
I have android 4.2.1 with build number Omega v44.1 - XXUFMB3
did this happen to anyone before?
clear the app's data.
factory reset
flash a stable ROM
one of these will work

Thank you, i will try that. Just one more question, o got a lot of apps, so i would like to not loose those and the way the phone is configured. Does one of these(factory reset/flash new ROM) do not delete apps/configs on the phone?
yes, they both do.
use Titanium Backup to back it up.
But try the first solution first
I installed the Collective's AoCP 7.2. Everything appears to work except when someone calls me the phone doesn't receive the call. No ring, no vibration, nothing on the missed call list. I just get a voice mail all of a sudden. Everything on the phone worked fine with until this rom install. Any ideas?
I just had a friend try and call me. This time I was watching and saw a message telling me the phone app had crashed. I'm going to try a re-flash and if that doesn't work I'll go to a different rom.
try flash a compatible radio. It will work
Sounds like a bad flash. Might try wiping and flashing after redownloading the ROM. Before i did that though, I'd try extracting the dialer.apk from system/priv app in the ROM zip, paste it into your system/priv app folder select yes to overwrite current, reboot and see if that fixed it. I know for a fact the phone works on that ROM. I've used it.
