[Resolved] Play Store & Mobile Network force closing, can't send/receive texts/calls
Hi there!
I installed the Resurrection Remix ICS AOKP ROM v.1.8.1 on my unlocked Galaxy S II i9100 a couple of days ago after factory resetting it, wiping the SD card, cache, etc.; completely getting rid of everything from the previous Resurrection Remix ICS ROM I had on there before.
Spent a lot of time customizing it over the past couple of days and not had any problems. I have a UK GiffGaff SIM which runs on the 02 network. There is a GiffGaff app on the Play Store that copies the correct information into your clipboard so that you can go through the steps of creating an APN easy as pie. However, whenever I go to Settings/More/Mobile networks a dialog box immediately pops up stating "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." and puts me back to my app drawer. I spent a while trying to fix it, then loaded up the Play Store to look for APN apps, but whenever I try to download an app it comes up with the same message above with "Settings" replaced with "Google Play Store".
I've literally spent hours and hours getting extremely frustrated and would be very appreciative of some help as I currently cannot send or receive texts or calls, cannot use the internet without Wi-Fi and cannot download any apps.
Things on the top of my head that I've tried are deleting the vending.apk (Play Store) in the system/app directory and copying another version of the store over, clearing caches of numerous apps, clearing Dalvik cache, wiping cache partition in CWM, restored some apps and settings from my Titanium Backup backup (which replaced some of my customization that I worked hours on ) and searched for ages for the APKs of some APN apps. I even wiped data/factory reset the phone a few minutes ago, but I still can't access Mobile networks to input the APN and now Google Play Store isn't even in my damn app list anymore!!
Can someone help please?
Edit: Managed to get the Play Store back, downloaded an APN app successfully, opened it and it force closes!
RESOLVED: If anyone else has similar problems, just download the ROM that's installed onto your phone, install it again, boot into CWM, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache, fix permissions and reboot! Thanks JJEgan and Sun90
Clean re flash its the rom at fault .

Ohhhh myyyyyyyyy goddddddddd. I love you. Haha, downloaded and installed the ROM, now everything works completely fine!! Thank you so much I'll remember that tip for the future
By the way, are some of the textures and backgrounds in this ROM supposed to be.. messed up? Like, some menus such as Settings have completely dark checkered backgrounds which look ugly o_o And when I pull down the notification bar, there are a lot of blue diagonal textures which again, look ugly.
Is this just me or is it the ROM? If it's the ROM, are these textures being worked on?
Thanks again

Wow, I had no idea we could do this! Thanks a lot, haha, it all looks awesome now! One last thing if that's okay How can I customize what I see after pulling the notification bar down? I done a little Googling just now but kept finding apps that just customize the actual bar and not the bad textures after pulling it down.
Are there mods for that too?
Edit: Ah, will do! Thanks for informing me

What worked for me is go to camera then go to its settings. Sometimes it won't work if it's stored on your si.m card. So set it to save to your phone. Or clear it's cache

were you on ROW version of ROM
if yes then you have to first flash CN based firmware via flashtool
then follow the above process.
what worked for me is i flashed phone using S135 with CWM chinese recovery -->SP flash tools.
Very important that backup everything before you do anything..
Thanks for the heads up....i have flashed the rom fine and it is amazing .
but again i need ur help as once installed the contacts from my google account is no more available in the sync only people details and app data are only available.
Did i do something wrong.

I had the same problem but didn't manage to solve it, so I moved to a different ROM. If that's solved, then I'll give the ROM another try because it felt really good.
Hey...
This is what i have done ....to get the rom on to the phone....First i flashed this Chinese rom (P780_S135_130917_rooted_twrp_gapps) and booted the phone fully once and then i flashed the miui rom in this thread on to the above rom from Chinese recovery that came with the S135 rom and it flashed perfectly.Below i am giving u the link to the Chinese rom.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/rom-lenovo-p780-pre-rooted-official-t2553725
Hope this helps...
Happy flashing..

So I went ahead and searched for MIUI gapps for android 4.4.2 and found it on miui forums. Flashed it and now i am able to sync my contacts with google. In fact even able to save new contacts to google as well. I have shared these gapps on my google drive here
So anyone who wants to make this ROM a 100% perfect can download it flash it.
Steps are very simple:
Download gapps from the link above and save it on your phone. Internal / External does not matter
Reboot to recovery mode
Install / Flash gapps zip file
Wipe cache and Dalvik
Reboot
Go to settings -> accounts -> all -> google and you will find now you can even sync contacts and calendar with google
Hope this helps anyone who wants to use this ROM along with google sync.
And, most importantly, thank you to the original devs for making this rom.
Is this rom repartitioned or can it be?

thats cool. is google search is working ? and email etc
My corporate email did not work with stock email app. So I used mailwise. Haven't tried google search yet. As, first thing i wanna try to do is try to bring back the 8gb internal partition. Coz after after installing this rom, my 8gb phone is now 4gb. Don't want to burden the phone much before i figure this out.
Hi guys, I have a problem with the MIUI stock camera. After the installation of google cam, and so after the writing of the code "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1", my stock cam doesn't work anymore if it has the HDR enabled. With the HDR disabled it works.
I've tried to delete the code but the problem remains.
How can I fix this bug?
Thank you.

After writing the code @MyNameIsRage has mentioned reboot your phone. Once MIUI finishes booting go to app settings and open MIUI camera app's settings, force stop it and then clear data. Now launch the camera and check whether the functions are restored.
I do that but nothing again.
Every options work but only the HDR has this problem.
I don't know.
Apparently this is a problem with MIUI..don't try to install GCam on MIUI..I always advice people not to do that...it has always been buggy and breaks some function or the other.
On a custom ROM yes you can go ahead and try GCam and it will work flawlessly.
Now in your case I think your only option is to factory reset the phone. So take backup of your data and factory reset it. Your problem will be gone.

try clearing cache and deleting app data
Ok I understand. For example with the ROM "Pixel Experience" GCam works at the same time with the default camera?
Thank you.

Yes. And it's not just Pixel Experience...any AOSP based ROM should work fine...that's the purpose of custom AOSP based ROMs. They're more Mod friendly for the users and more debug friendly for the developers.
If you decide to flash a custom ROM please do a thorough research on flashing and understand how it works..it is very simple and easy..just takes a few trials and errors at first.
Ah ok. Thank you for the information.
I've already tried to install the "Pixel Experience" but the Google's logo remains stuck.
Can you help me?

How did you flash the ROM? Mention in detail every step that you carried out.
I've copied the rom in the internal storage. Then with TWRP I've cleaned the chace, dalvin cache and system, and after all I've launched the installation.
My device is also rooted.
The ROM is "PixelExperience_mido-8.1.0-20180121-0047-OFFICIAL".
I don't know what I wrong.
P.S. I've have Redmi Note 4 4/64 snapdragon version.

You didn't wipe data in twrp??? Wipe {system+data+cache+dalvikcache} and then install pixel experience it will work.
Data is not your personal data, it's partition for your installed apps..your personal data is stored in internal storage so don't worry about wiping data partition.
Ah ok. Now I try to follow your instructions.
Thank you.
OK. It works well like the camera too.
Thank you all guys!:highfive:

I have gboard, with two languages, but i don't want prediction, but the speel check! The system has to underline the mispelled words..
i spent two days searching for every possible method, but on the internet i only found people that want to remove this feature.. When I bought the phone the spell checker just works fine in both language so i want to backup all my stuffs and preferences and try to restore the phone to manufacture and see if it comes back..i can use the backup option in setting, save the backup folder in my computer and then restore from that? Or there is a better way to make a complete image of my system that i can restore if the reset doesn't solve the problem? Thank you

Instead of taking the hard way, try to clear cache and data from keyboard.
If it used to work,it should work again.
You have nothing to lose, just add permissions again to keyboard
Thank you for the reply! I've tried just now, give all permissions (Contact location sms storage) clear cache and data, the gboard's setting are now default but for the spell checker's option nothing change (It shows Italian like before and not like default).. it seems that they are not related..
Edit: I'm using this phone from a week, i'm new to android and the only things i did are:
-An official update from the system updater; I also read all the changes in the update and no mention to spell checker...
-Removing permissions to various things

You can try some old Gboards from apk mirror. Try the one from March and go backwards until you find the one that works.

You can't but unlikely Play store and Play services,it doesn't update automatically so you just don't update and that's it.
