Im currently on the original leaked USCC Froyo rom and am have alot of issue. I was wonders...
a. should I reinstall this rom to fix issues
b. will I need to revert back to stock, root, install clock work then upgrade?
c. Is there alot of people having issue with the froyo build?
issues im experiencing are lag, freezing, issue where standby button randomly takes screen shots, and a few other random issues
what should I do?
First thing I would is redownload the rom and reflash it. That is usually the easiest fix. Are you still having problems? Will try to help you where I can!
K ill redownload it and reinstall it and see if it helps
Reinstalled leaked froyo plus I installed the red CMW and voodoo.
Havent played around to much but I have noticed it runs alittle faster but thats prolly because the lagfix. still having some freezing though
What exactly is freezing? Certain apps or when you try to do certain things?
its freezes in both some times it freezes when im trying to play music sometime it freezes when im texting sometimes it right when the phone boots. it seems completely random and never had any of these errors on enclair with CMW and voodoo.
You may want to try a reset on it next. Make sure you back up everything with titanium first tho. Factory reset option in recovery. You may have to do this after a reflash tho. You may also need to wipe the dalvik cache before a new flash too. Those are the things I would try if you are still having issues.
Also be careful which things you back up with titaniun, I've read restoring certain data onto a new rom can cause issues like that

thanks for the replies I just went ahead and installed the newwer E16 rom which is running much better
I've been trying to fix this problem for 2 days now, I tried installing back to stock, reroot and unlocked. I slapped Cleanrom on and it hasn't fixed the issue. I was hoping if the problem could possibly be fixed, or if its a hardware issue i want to know what steps i can take to deal with it. As of right now i cant make any calls without it foreclosing on me.
Thanks
Weird. Tried clearing cache? Did you have this problem when u first got the phone? When did all start?
It was 2 days ago. I tried almost everything, but still a no go. I have pmed some people who have experienced it in the past, but their on 2.20 now, so i might consider it if its going to fix the issue. I rather not though
I'm getting that same problem too, also i can't properly add phone numbers to my phone or sim. This is getting frustrating, hopefully someone can elaborate on this..
Do you have any accounts syncing? Maybe if you delete all the accounts that sync contacts? Maybe try it without a SIM card in?
If you are using CWM and flashed CleanROM (and maybe other ROMs), then that is why you are having this issue. Its a known issue, and it clearly says in the CleanROM top post to not use CWM, and to use TWRP.
Also, this is a double post. Somebody posted a fix in your other thread. Go look at it. Now see why double posts are confusing and annoying?
solution
It happened to me too and now I have a solution.it happened to me when I installed a rom(don't want to mention the name).ok do this
Root ur phone unlock bootloader and install cwm not twrp.now clear cache,data,system everything and install any rom(even stock)using TARP(dont forget to clear everything in twrp also).

I tried this method, installed CWR over TWRP and installed cleanrom 4.5, then my phone would reboot continuously. Did you experience this?
Are u guys doing FULL wipes as stated above?? Do a full wipe, cache, dalvik, system, factory reset/data. Flash a rom and dont restore anything. Just boot it up and see. Im fairly certain it wont mess up after that.
Did you flash KingCobra then started having this issue? I have the same problem as well right now, there is a FC.zip fix he's made that you can flash but I'm getting an error right now. Its a awesome rom tho!
as i mentioned you need to clear data,cache,system.. in cwm then switch to twrp and install a rom.installing cr4.5 or any latest roms in cwm will cause bootloop
I have tried to do this a couple of times since the new version of BMM came out. I followed all of the instructions to make it work. Then I flashed PACman and I got stuck on the loading (seemed like a bootloop) screen for like half an hour. And no matter what ROM that I use this seems to be happening. I would like to use either the PACman or AOKP that alerted has up. Any suggestions?

Did you flash the gapps too?
If it were me, I'd FXZ back to stock ICS then root, install BMM, boot into BMM, factory reset, flash ROM, flash gapps then reboot. Works for me every time.
Brought to you by time and relative dimensions in space.
I always make sure that I get the proper gapps.apk file for the version of the rom that I am installing. I think that the only thing that you are doing different than me is the factory reset. Thanks. I will give this a try and i will keep my fingers crossed.

You no do factory reset before flashing ROM? That's the cause for bootloop.
And if you have BMM set up and different ROMs on various systems, then doing a factory reset on any system wipes other systems too. You just have to delete the partitions for that system in order to delete it.
And btw Gapps come in flashable zip and not apk
Remember, if you're trying to flash any of the Kexec based ROMs (like anything posted by deveshmanish) and you keep getting stuck at the boot screen, then you may be one of the unlucky "Kexec - rejects" like myself.
If so, then none of those ROMs will work for you. You need to try one of the non-kexec versions. There are several by different devs.

I run chameleon os custom rom on Samsung infuse 4g. Superuser by Clockworkmod got binded/imbedded into rom. Was working fine, then out of nowhere got disabled under superuser settings and will not change back. I select apps only and all other choices but as soon as I select it, it switches back to disable. Google play no longer shows it as an app that I have downloaded so I can't get updates. I have tried installing it again both by just downloading it and by disabling it under app management and downloading it, but both ways when I open it tries to downloading binaries and fails. Same thing happens with any other superuser I try to download. I cannot get it to work. Please help. I no longer want chameleon as my rom because of too many issues with it constantly rebooting and internet only working sometimes. i want to try another rom but can't with superuser not working.

You mean to say you cannot boot into CWM recovery and flash a different ROM? Interesting. I have an HTC, and the steps to rooting it are in a different order... that after unlocking the bootloader, you install CWM, and then optionally root the stock ROM with the SuperUser package (those who don't do the last step are usually flashing a ROM instead of mucking around for another second with the stock OS).
SU shouldn't be needed for custom recovery. But maybe Chameleon does something weird like not give you a custom recovery you can boot into? If that's the case, you could pop the device into download mode and go back to stock with Odin, effectively starting from scratch.
still need help, thank you.
I am starting to believe more than before that the actual problem is that somehow my phone got unrooted. How do I set my phone in download mode and use Odin? I usually wipe the cache, install the rom, install gapps, wipe cache partition, and wipe dalvik cache. I have never flashed a rom before. Or even better what is the best way to root my phone again now that I am using chameleon? I believe if I can do that it will fix my problems and I can install cyanfox (the latest rom I have downloaded). Do I use super one click? That is what I think I used before but now that I am not using stock rom I don't know what to use.

If you are unable to get into ClockWorkMod recovery (hold Vol-Up+Vol-Dn keys while pressing Pwr button) and have it do anything (so your wipe, install, gapps, dalvik - that process would be called flashing). Then I would Odin back to stock.
For this, you would need to get into download mode. IIRC (just sold my Infuse), it is (with the device fully turned off) hold both volume buttons in while inserting the micro usb cable (that is subsequently inserted into your PC). The ODIN program comes with the download packages (hopefully), so extract the whole package, and run that.
Odin should pick up the phone in the first column as "COMX" (e.g. "COM5"). You are good to flash. To the right, there are PHONE and PDA buttons, click on each, and select the corresponding file (that was also in the package) for each (so PHONE will have something like PHONE.tgz.md5). Once both files are loaded, make sure re-partition is UN-checked, and press Start (or Go, or whatever the action word is). This will take a few minutes, but the COMX column should highlight green with "SUCCESS" in the end.
That's all there is to it. The reason why I'm shying away from SuperOneClick is that it was designed for stock gingerbread/froyo, so it has the potential of breaking something. Hope this helps.
EDIT:
Alternatively, you could try pushing su to the device with adb (depends on how you lost root):
Code:
adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system
adb push su /system/xbin/
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
... with this file (extracted).

new problem
I am now running cyanfox which runs android 4.4 and Google.process.gapps has stopped keeps popping up. To get rid of it I have to do a factory reset but after a few days it always comes back. I have Googled the problem and tried numerous things to try to fix it but everything only works temporary. What should I do besides get another phone? I can't afford that right now.

I wouldn;t suggest another phoen is things are working well genrally. The problem could lie in the GApps package or the ROM itself. I use the PA Gapps package. If you are having rouble with that one, try from a different date. Just wipe dlavik in between to prevent any nastyness.
If it still persists, try another ROM, like Carbon.
tried installing the new gapps
So far, so good but I won't know for sure for a few days. I'll keep you up to date. Thank you
what version of android is carbon?
Do you have the link for carbon rom for Samsung infuse 4g? And what version of android is it? My phone runs better with those gapps but I am still getting the same problems. I will give it a try but if carbon doesn't work I am definitely going to have to just get another phone. So far I'm. 0-2 on custom roms for this phone. I thought cyanfox would of worked cause I got it off of xda, which really makes me think this phone has some sort of hardware problem but carbon has been around longer. So maybe it will work better.
Carbon is on XDA as well too, and it is based on CM 11 / Android 4.4 Kitkat:

Hope this works for you... :fingers-crossed:
problems solved
It appears it was definitely a problem with the ROM. Phone has been operating 100% better. :victory: My cache needs to be cleared frequently and some minor problems with the Facebook back but when isn't there problems with Facebook lol. But as soon as I clean out the cache from my apps, everything is running like new again. I greatly appreciate your help. I can't thank you enough.
Was working great then more problems
Joel,
Carbon was running great for me but then all of a sudden android.process.acore has stopped kept popping up along with all sort of other things stopping then eventually GApps not working again. I have erased my contacts, Erased Media, unchecked all my Syncs, I have tried all sorts of other Gapps packages and even another ROM (cyanogen 11) and they work to begin with then the same problems keep coming back. Is it because I went from Gingerbread right to Kitkat? My phone hasn't worked for about a week now with me trying all different ways to fix it. Do I need to install Ice Cream Sandwich then Jellybean before going to Kitkat or do I just need to try even more GApps? I used to install new ROMs all the time but android has changed so much over the last couple years and when i had to get rid of my old phone and went back to my Infuse 4g the old ROM was just completely outdated and now I can't seem to get this right. The phone itself is still a great phone and I don't understand why I am having these issues. I factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, install new ROM, install GApps, wipe cache again, and wipe dalvik again. I usually don't wipe the cache or the dalvik until after the ROM and GApps install but just lately have been doing the extra wipe just in-case because nothing else is working. But that has failed too. You have been a great help so far and I can't seem to fix this on my own, so again I turn to you for help. Please help me figure this out.

It's possible. I mentioned this before somewhere, but this could be the after-effect of a small /datadata partition, which having a separate partition is standard in a KitKat ROM (at least for this phone). When it fills up, there's no telling what happens.
Both BeanStalk and CM11 have /datadata partition alternatives (the separate partition has been abandoned) built in. You may want to try one of those:

Unfortunately I couldn't find something similar for Carbon.
Thank you!!!!!!
I hate to count my chickens before they're hatched but I truly believe that was the problem. Even Facebook works now. But I thought I had it fixed before then just under a week and it completely messed up and I couldn't even get it to work for a day after that. But it works now. I can't thank you enough. If you ever come across one for Carbon ROM please let me know. This is a good ROM but I liked Carbon better. Again, thank you Joel. :good::good:
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry to bother you again Joel but I have a major problem again and I dont even know wht happenned. You have helped me through evrything so far and I couldn't be more thankful. There may be nothing you can do to help me, I don't know. I was using my phone as A Wifi Hotspot when out of know where as soon as i got on facebook on my tablet my phone rebooted on it's own into Clockworkmod recovery. when I reboot it, it goes right back into recovery, it wont read the internal sd card and it wont install any zip off any inserted sd card(it reads them but wont install anything, it always pops up with android guy on his back with a red X and a generic error). it lets me erase cache but won't erase delvik cache or format anything, the screen just flashes and it pops back a screen. I dont think the phone overheated because it wasnt hot to the touch at all. I was only using it as a wifi hotspot for about 30 minutes when it happenned. i had used it as a hotspot many times before with no problems and i dont know how it woud be a virus when i wasnt on any abnormal sites. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

If you can get into Download Mode, I would Odin back to stock. Are you AT&T or Rogers? There are a couple recent threads in this forum with download links, although people have been having difficulties with finding the AT&T variety.
Unfortunately, that's all I can recommend. Good luck.
we'll see how this works out
I just checked and it will go into download mode. So I guess I just need to find the AT&T thread of Oden and hopefully that works. I have never done it that way before but I read your previous response much earlier in this thread on how to do it and it sounds pretty simple so hopefully I can do it. If you can find a link to the at&t version before me it would definitely help but I will see what I can find.

I would recommend Option D for what you need, but AFAIK, the links on this page are dead.
If you go to the last page though, there is a link for Option C, which would work for your needs. Hope this helps.
Hi bro, i need some help here, suddenly my GT2 (GSM) will auto reboot after every 15-60 minute. It was running fine for the past 10 month since have install cyanogenmod cm-10.1.3.
The weird part is, not only it reboot, it will do a rollback to a fix setting every time it reboot.
- Let say, as a normal you have many application install, many photo or file in your phone
How it happen, as a normal user, I went to uninstall any application via application manager or Delete some photo from my gallery. It show success deleted..... but soon after few minute my phone rebooted by itself. After this reboot i notice what i just delete/remove come back again. Seems like there is a restore being done.
I also try to reset to setting using phone manager, and it fail
I try to boot in to recover mode, such as
clear data/factory reset
clear cache
go to advanced>wipr dalvic
Install cyanogenmod cm-10.1.3, cyanogenmod cm-10.1.2 or even cyanogenmod cm-10.1.1
I have try clear data/factory reset, clear cache, go to advanced>wipr dalvic
or any other combine setting i can think of.... it fail too
once i reboot my phone, it still went back to this Fix Setting, every thing just come back.....
even i select install new OS
Any ideas what happen?
Thanks

Read about these issues from various thread, this is happened due to broken emmc. The only step will have to replace it.
If someone can developed a kernel to prevent this issue which is happen to omap4 device
Unfortunately most kernel, maybe all current kernel, did not apply this.

So this is due to broken emmc, and i need to ask someone to replace it at some cost
is there a way to check the issue is emmc or just some software/firmware/rom issue
Till now, my phone still stay the same, it will reboot after sometime. I even try to flash it with other ROMS and even update my phone with the latest CWM or PhilZ, i even get the message of update success/status ok. But after a reboot, my phone still went back/revert to that same "OLD" setting with every thing still there. Restore to factory still fail, look like my phone is as good as a brick phone...
Anyone know of a way to resolve it?
