Steps to reproduce missing mms.apk for Valhalla black 1.5:
Prior to flash:
Valhalla black
Cwm patch 1
Kj6 beta 1.0 kernel
Zeam launcher
Tw was installed, but not default
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Flash rc1.5 zip
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Reboot
Messaging app missing
I will be restoring from titanium backup, but wanted to post bug so it can be seen and possibly duplicated
Edit: data from messaging was retained (sms history, preferences), and was visible after restoring app only from titanium. Not totally unexpected for me, but a little surprised that didn't go away with cache wipes.

I can't put it in the Dev forum where it belongs, so i put it here, as i said above, so there's a step by step to reproduce what raver thought he fixed. I'll retitle it if that would make it more clear.

The issue is the mms.apk Raver used was based on my transparent mms apk, which was based on KI3, and for some reason just wasnt playing nice with a lot of different launchers.
I made an updated one on KJ6, this should fix any problems. It worked fine on my device, then again so did the KI3 based one, but try flashing this one.
(this one is only semi transparent, as I left the listview bg black, but its still slick lol)

Meh. Back to the drawing board. But, do me a quick favor and clear your launch cache and force close your launcher from the settings/applications menu and be sure it isnt a problem in your cache?

The thing is that the instructions for the rom recommend you do a factory reset. I've actually been wondering too what causes it since I did do a factory reset and had to flash the apk myself. I use go sms but I still wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

I've found that if I did a factory reset before flashing OR if I flash any version of Valhalla Black over the top of an earlier version without a factory reset the apk is missing. However, If I flash any version of Valhalla Black over Valhalla final without a factory reset the apk is there. I try to avoid doing that since I seem to have had a better overall experience just pushing the apk itself from Valhalla Final to Black. Either way, It's an amazing ROM, just an extra step of adding the MMS. No big deal. And I think I've tried working with almost every launcher out there with the same results. /shrug

Hey guys,
I have been using Valhalla Blackedition for a while and it's been fantastic.. well that is when it's working fine. Sometimes, when i don't reboot my phone for awhile, my phone gets just jammed up and when go into text messages, I can see that my phone reloads all the names and sometimes quits out of messaging. This happens to other apps too like google search, call mode and such. I searched tons on the forum but i couldn't find any answers.
Anyone has this problem as well?

Same Problem
Hello, I had been using Valhalla Final for a while but then switched to AOSP Final due to this problem. With the AOSP Final it would never have the quiting problem and it was great but I really like the style and look of Valhalla. So I have recently switched back.
I have tried doing resets and going in to cwm to delete the Dalvik Cache and fix the permissions but its only a temporary fix. At first I thought it was cause I was using the Adrenaline Shot or switching kernels so I just flashed the rom and used it for a couple of days but no luck.
If anyone has any other suggestions or know what is causing this please let me know I appreciate it. Thanks.
Look for Gremlin Remover in the dev section. Follow directions and flash it. Then flash back. See if your problem is resolved.
Have you tried adding the ro.Home_App_Adj=1 line in the build.prop? And is ur launcher in /system/app/?

I was going to post a thread about v6 supercharger, but haven't done so yet. I've been using the latest v6 supercharger for a while, and it has cured any and all random close issues. It basically changes the way memory is managed in the OS. It also makes the launcher extremely hard to kill, negating the need for the build.prop trick. All in all, I would try out the latest beta release of v6 supercharger, just follow instructions in the v6 supercharger thread (its on xda).

Gremlin Remover
Ok so I tried the 1-click gremlin remover and everything looked great. After about 12 or so hours my messages started closing again. This is really frustrating and I would like to have this fixed.
@erikmm, I would like to try what you said but I'm not sure on what you're talking about. If you could, can you explain in a little more detail on what to do? Thanks.
No fix yet.
I have also applied the V6 supercharger to the phone and no luck there either. Looks like I am going back to AOSP Final since I had no problems with the closing there.
If anyone has anymore suggestions I am all ears. I really don't know why this has been a problem for only a few people. Anywho, thanks to all that have given suggestions and those of you who will continue to.
Has someone resolved this? I am even thinking about trading my ASUS transformer for a new phone... this phone does not like me...lol
I AM OFFICIALLY ABANDONING THIS ROM. It is already mostly working and has very little difference from regular CM7. You can still feel free to download it though.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Based on CM7, this is a ROM that provides a basic experience while keeping all features.
Working:
Pretty much everything.
The goods:
zipaligned
Minumum RAM usage
Using T-Mobile/ CM7 theme engine
Fully customizable
4G (maybe- not availible where I live.)
Standard Gingerbread launcher
Note: the messaging app might fail to send any messages. To fix this, go to settings -> applications -> manage applications -> all -> messaging -> clear data. Then restart your device.

For the market errors, try going into language and keyboard, select any other English language. Open market then close the market. Go back into language and select united states English again. This was recommended and it worked for me. Also, adding an additional Gmail account was recommended as well. Good luck.

There is really only one GB AOSP rom other than CM that can't be considered a kang in one way or another. That's SalvageMod. Really there is no shame in the kang, so long as the dev gives proper creds. (Which he did) I have a couple here in dev section myself.

Will check it out. Thanks, man.
no, stock font should be droidsans. Although, roboto is the stock ICS font, gb still uses old stuff. Although personally, i recommend roboto.
Thanks! However, I have run into a huge problem.. I was on unnamed when suddenly I got the notification for low internal storage, I move a few things and reboot into recovery, clear several things then reboot. Only to find out, the problem still exists, so I switched to Octane ROM and problem came back. Tried to factory reset, but no luck. What to do?
You know the deal...
I tried using GPS Test to see if gps work, but the GPS is seen as off in the app even though GPS satellites are turned on in settings.

Tried flashing Beta2 from AOKP three times now and each time, Superuser has been broken. Was thinking I might have messed something up earlier, but validated that Superuser still works fine in other roms.
Also, flashing Beta2 straight leads into a recovery bootloop. To get it to properly flash, I needed to flash AOKP and then immediately flash Beta2 after. Flashing Beta2 onto AOKP... bootloop.
Any information I should pull to help figure out what's going on? Next step for me is going to be flashing Beta1 and seeing if that has working Superuser, and then if updating from Beta1 to Beta2 keeps it alive...
Edit: Beta1 has the same issue. Pure-flash gives recovery bootloop. Flashing AOKPr4 into AOKPCB Beta1 gives broken Superuser.
Did u wipe all things bro, by all things I meant EVERYTHING (system, data, cache, dalvik bla bla) because this is NOT an update over our AOKP M6 so just use titanium then...after that, u can reflash and flash gapps (ics-20120429) if u want

Delightful... figured it out. The CM9 Aries preview (8/19) breaks rooting. Full wipe fixes it, wasn't actually a AOKPCB problem. Additionally, it makes Aroma think that it's still a Froyo rom, not even Gingerbread. Again, not an AOKPCB problem, but I mentioned it here.
Anyways, full wipe of everything (except SD card) made this flashable with working Superuser. Thanks! Looks interesting.
A different issue that I noticed with AOKPCB is that the SD Card is repeatedly referred to as "USB Storage" which can make things a bit confusing when you aren't connected to your computer. Just a bad localization string, I'm guessing. The spot I notice this the most is in Manage Applications... the USB Storage tab.
Okay, semi-n00b question. Since this is a 'based on AOKP' ROM, should I look in one of those threads for "what works/what doesn't" stuff?
Already I'm wondering about
* GPS
* Tethering
* Wi-fi calling
(I travel a lot so these are all important to me.)
Should I keep looking at this ROM or move on? (Sure is good looking!)
Thanks.

This is the Icon pack I am using now. But it is not optimal for Nova since it doesn't theme the drawer icons and each shortcut has to be assigned manually. Nova seems to have better support for ADW themes, so I was hoping more for a PCB themed ADW theme. I was thinking the Metro theme would look awesome if the inside of the circles had a blue PCB background like in this icon pack for TSF Shell, but the cricle and the icons remained white.
I attached the modified MMS.apk I am using and the stock Contacts.apk.
Also I just noticed that the Navigation app keeps disappearing from my system. I reinstalled Maps several times, cleared caches, etc, but it seems to stop working right after the first time launching it. I did a full wipe, even formatted my SD card before installing this ROM and never had that hapen before, it's almost as if the app was corrupting, but I did not move it to my SD card. :/
Edit: Actually it would be even cooler if the icons could match the lockscreen icon.
Thanks again, it's greatly appreciated.
