TouchWiz 4 problems - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I installed TouchWiz 4.5 from the xda forum. It was fine the first 2 days then on the 3rd day the phone would seem to want to force close but then turn off since TW was the primary launcher. Later that day I switched over to a custom launcher and it never turned off on its own.
Thanks

So are you asking for help on tw, our have you already settled in with another launcher and no longer need any help? i would try fixing permissions in recovery and trying again if you want to keep tw. also, what rom are you on?

I want to continue to use TW and I am running a deodexed and rooted KF2.

I had a similar problem when installing Audiophile 1.7. TW would force close on me like mad. I eventually installed a different launcher which seemed to work fine.

Fast reboots, tmobile jingle, then phone starts to lockscreen

The title of this thread is what keeps happening to me at least once after I flash an update or a theme on my phone. Its been happening since I've used the icbinb ki series. It usually will happen once or twice after a titanium backup restore. Or turning on the phone after calibrating the battery. Someone please give me some feedback. No i'm not a noob as you can see been here for a long while, I read and follow directions to the t. So I'm very confused with this! It happens when I'm on uv stock kernel default settings or oc.
Your framework is crashing. That's what's causing the soft reboot. Usually due to a theme not meant for the build you are using.

I only use themes labeled for the rom i'm on. it happens after fresh ROM fashes as well... I read somewhere about soft bootloaders for 2.3.5. Are they different than the 2.3.4 bootloaders from kg4? I'm thinking this must have something to do with it. It started happening after first flashing 2.3.5. I haven't odined of the releases.

I used to get issues similar to that when my ext 4 partition was incorrect. Maybe look there.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I never considered that, thanks. I'll give the ext4 converter a flash and see.

Well flashing the ext4 converter then a fresh flash of my rom did the trick

Beans ROM causing major issues!!!!!

I never had a problem with anything until I flashed beans build 6. I did a clean install but ever since my phone has been freezing nonstop. I have to battery pull every time and it is getting frustrating. I went back to build 5 on a clean install and the same thing occurs. I even tried downloading my apps one by one from the play store instead of restoring from titanium and I still get this issue. Someone please give me some enlightenment I'm desperate!

1) What does a full wipe consist of in your case?
2) Freezing as in you can't do anything at all or freezing as in laggy? How long did you have Beans Build 5 and/or 6 installed?
3) did you have the AOSP Lockscreen installed via Aroma (when you first flash the rom)? if so, did you deselect ALL the TW options under Settings/Lockscreen?
4) Do you check the md5 before flashing build 5 or build 6? If not, what do they say when you check now?
AOSP lock screen was the culprit that required me to pull my battery. I have no problems with the tw lock screen on B6. Battery life, GPS, performance is great on B6.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
When you enable AOSP lock screen you must disable all other functions in the same settings menu. Everything must be off. I'm running it flawlessly after doing so.

Full wipe for me would be factory reset/system/cache/dalvic
It would freeze and I wouldn't be able to do anything so I had to battery pull
I had some settings turned on for touch wiz lock screen and I've turned them off since and I think that may have been the culprit. They were there as default however.
Also how would I go about checking md5

When in doubt, restore to stock and do the rooting process again. Try backing up your SD, wiping it, and putting it back on too. Basically do some spring cleaning, you're phone's getting dusty! (I'm joking because these will probably work)

That's exactly what I did. Then switched to TW 4x5 launcher and also changed to CWM recovery (before re flashing ROM) and all my issues went away. Don't know if Nova was the issue or not but it works great now. Fast and smooth. Even running IMO lean kernel with no problems. Here's the quadrant score.

Didn't realize Quadrant was so frowned upon around here. Sorry for posting. Have used other benchmarks and with B6 have achieved scores very close to the supposed reigning benchmark king that I will not mention lol. Either way, I'm very happy with the speed and smoothness of B6 now. Once B7 corrects the email issue and I'm assuming will be based on the official OTA release tomorrow I think I've found my daily driver. Great ROM.

I was using cwm and switched to twrp actually and I think that may have helped... There is no telling though. I would go back to cm10 but I have constant call issues with it even with late builds. Probably my phone being temperamental though. I am one that believes in doing clean installs though so I know my problems aren't from a so called dirty flash. I wish I could import my desktop layout into trebuchet because I always feel that it was the fasted launcher for me.

I don't know. Weird. I did flash another ROM between 5 and 6. That may have started my issues. Hoping Eclipse updates And gets 4.2 along with Google now. If so, I'll go back to that. Only non TW ROM I liked. Very fast and no issues with Eclipse 2.1 build 4.

I've flashed almost every ROM available and I always find that builds that are built off cm10 with more customizable options always give me issues for some reason. I was s strong believer in cm10 until I tried out beans with the new aosp options.

incompatible app in market

OK I'm having a problem with my Samsung infuse 4G. I just put ice cream sandwich on my phone and ever since some apps are now incompatible with my device that were compatible so is this something I can fix or is this something I just have to deal with. Anyone with any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks for your time.
Depends on the app.. I know a lot that didn't update from GB. Flash is a big one of the top of my head. If you have a TB backup you could try to restore it that way.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I'm not sure I read alot of posts talking about editing the build.prop file to trick the market and I followed the instructions and it still didn't work. Also read a few posts about it being a problem with the LCD density tried changing the settings and still incompatible apps in the market.

[Q] Dark Knight incompatible app issue

I recently flashed Dark Knight ics on my infuse 4g.
The main issue that I am having is that previously compatible apps on gingerbread, are no longer working on my custom ics flash. how can I resolve this?
Hi, I hear you have my ROM? Haha, anyways some apps are still in development for newer Android versions than gingerbread.

It is the bank of america app, its been released for ics and jellybean already....
My best bet would be that it only has gingerbread support for this specific device, but i'm unsure of what compatibility options you can set. and based upon your response, this isn't an known issue that you know how to fix.
Is Dark Knight ever going to become jellybean, or is it stuck at ics since its a port?
You could try changing the build.prop just to download it, other apps may not like it, do change it back after its installed

What do you think I need to change? I tried changing the model, but couldn't download still.
You could just get an app called 4shared. Its much easier than changing the build.prop

How come my S3 freezes?

It freezes to a point where I have to take out my battery.... ever since I rooted, that started happening and I removed most of the apps I can download in the store such as kindle, play books, etc but none of the stock apps. I'm TW stock and rooted running faux kernel (btw this also happened to me before flashing the kernel).is there a fix for this annoying issue And sometimes when I download certain apps and open them, it freezes..

Since you're stock already. It's probably only a couple things
1. You installed some kind of mod that is freezing your phone, any kind of optimizing and performance driven app or mod can do this.
2. A hardware problem
So if you feel confident you didn't do anything to cause the issues, then Odin back to stock and use it for a while completely stock. If it's still freezing up then it's a hardware problem, and you should put a warranty claim on your phone.

Use a different kernel like Zeus kernel or DKP. Faux's kernels are a big fail.

Ok thanks
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
No what you need to do is go load stock like BadUserName suggested. The number 1 rule when troubleshooting anything in life is to put it back to the way it was when you got it. In this case that means Odin back to stock. Do NOT install any kernels or CPU adjusting apps. I wouldn't even root or unlock. If it still happens its the phone.
