[Q] Oxygen ROM Questions....

I can't post to the development thread because I'm a newb to this forum, so, I'm hoping somebody will see this here.
Nexus S 4G running Oxygen 2.2.3. Voice Search fc's as soon as I start it up, even from within another app, like navigation. Anybody had this issue and been able to solve it?

If one application stops working usually an uninstall and reinstall of the application will fix it.

Have you tried to fix permissions?

Been there. I've uninstalled and reinstalled from the market a few times. I even tried to pull one from a deodexed 2.3.7 stock ROM. Still Fc's.

I went through Root Explorer, but the permissions were okay there. I then booted into recovery and used fix permissions. No dice.

Go ahead and install 2.3.1 and see if it is fixed. This is the latest version.

I used voice search a few days ago without any problems on Oxygen 2.3.
Like others have said, try the 2.3.1 version 'cause they fixed some bugs in the previous version!

Sorry guys, I must have updated the wrong thread. I got it working by clearing data. Thanks for the feedback

problems found on LINK UP[ROM][CWM] updated 12/23/2011 | AOSP Style 2.1 | KJ6}

I installed this rom ( LINK UP[ROM][CWM] updated 12/23/2011 | AOSP Style 2.1 | KJ6} ) and got into lots of bugs so I'm gonna share it here what I did to fix it
1. Root was not working properly can't get permission from superuser
FIX: (I have to root the phone again with superoneclick 1.6.5 is the only one working for me)
2. SU binary won't update missing md5 blablabla cannot remember what it was
FIX: (I installed busybox to fix the missing file)
3. Android Keyboard force close error (the application android keyboard process com.android.inputmethod.latin)
FIX: (I look for gingerbread keyboard and flashed it)

You should post in the rom's thread so that the author takes notice.
EDIT
Just noticed you don't have enough posts to post in the dev section yet.
Try PM'ing him a link to this thread I guess.

Have you tried a data wipe and then reflashing? I was on that rom with no issues
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

Yeah, I had no problems with this ROM either... It's great, actually.
Rather than creating a thread saying that this person's ROM creates problems, PM is the best choice. Especially if you've read through the ROM thread and did not see a bunch of complaints.

jeeze, how many times do I have to tell people that I am working on a massive update. The android keyboard fc is a problem with Valhalla final. Also the root isn't an issue. Plus all users should flash the beta 2d kernel.

Maybe you should post this info in the OP of your development thread so you don't have to keep telling people. it first look like you ever update it and I wouldn't expect many folks around here to read the entire thread even though they should. maybe you should Post a section about other suggestions such as update to the new kernel and that the keyboard fc is a known issue. Btw, in observation, it looks like you might be starting to understand why people ask you to keep quiet about cm variations un less you have some development to offer

maybe its just me. I wasn't able to post a reply on that dev thread because I don't have enough post so I just make a new one and maybe can help other new user too having same issue.
I'm not saying that its the dev I just wanna share it to other users that might have same problem
I was on KD1 rom and reset my phone to factory settings delete cache in cwm and installed the rom. that what I did. and for the android keyboard I was gonna post the link for android keyboard here where I got it but it won't let me

Being on froyo and flashing a GB ROM may have been the "root" of your problems. Try my upgrade guide then re flash the ROM and give us an update

so far im not getting any issue going on right now after the fix I did.
I also have some question I have a Samsung Vibrant (T959) which has Bionix V based on froyo I believe and I really like it so I just wanna know if there's a rom like that for Galaxy S 4G? I've tried to flashed the bionix frost but I didn't like the custom theme running on proluncher and I don't like apps running in the background I like my phone on stock theme
EDIT: I didn't like the music player that comes on this AOSP syle rom I like the one that comes with the bionic V that I have on my Vibrant and I tried to install that music player apk I took from my vibrant to my galaxy s 4g but Im getting force close error is there a way to make it work?

use anything you want. Also, can people stop making a complain thread and close it.

No it does not, mine works fine.
PS search out the post in general about this, you could have left your phone rooted, however if you made ANY change to the OS it won't take the update. I have instructions for how to make a backup and get your phone updated and back to the way it was.
That said yes 2.3.4 is buggy.

Can u show me the instructions plz
Sent from my R800x using XDA

2.3.4 is a total mess. You lose all your google related data connections and for me, trying it 3 times, I lose 3G data. So in a total..... DO NOT ota to 2.3.4, I have gone back to 2.3.3 and do not plan on updating unless its fixed... which I do not believe VZ will even mess with it, they will probably use this issue as a means of getting you to upgrade your phone....VZ sucks sweaty monkey nuts.

Rom manager not working

Mods unnamed 101 rom. Google plus keeps force closing. Newish to flashing roms so I decided to run rom manager again. Says it USUALLY fixes fc so that'll work, its that simple right? Lol nah absolutely no feedback when I have it fix permissions, not quite sure where I'm goin from here

Try going into applications/manage & find google plus & clear data & cache & reboot.
Good Luck

Ah I was waiting for myself to put it in the wrong place, my apologies. Could you tell me why it belongs in q&a instead? I was debating on which one and general seemed to have a lot of simple new user questions. Anyway it worked for a minute, no clue why i didnt try that already I plea exhausted. It signed me on even but when I selected a message it fc'd again. Which leads me to believe that its a problem with my rom unless theres something else obvious I'm missing. there's a couple other quirks involving contacts with this one

Google+ (particularly messenger) was fc-ing on me on Unnamed Rom. Fixing permissions doesn't fix the problem (or any of the other several fix attempts I made).
MOD is aware of the issue and is working on it for an upcoming update.

I had tried this method, doesn't work. I also tried force uninstalling G+ using Titanium Backup and then reinstalling from the market. This didn't work either.

Google search not working after update, help

As the title states my Google search is no longer working after the new update. The only way I can get it to work it to clear cache, data, and uninstall updates which will then revert the app to factory form. After doing all that the app works no issues but then the app updates itself and then i keep getting same error message every time I try to load it.. Anyone else have this issue? Running P6800 with JB 4.1.2. Thanks in advance.

Same here. Reverted to the previous version and waiting for the update with correction (hopefully),

I just did a phone reset hoping it would solve the issuebut nothing. Google just released a new update and still same problem.

Indeed, the release of 11/21 is no good either.

I have been looking all over the net and can't seem to find any info on this, Google hasn't even acknowledged there is something wrong. Maybe this is only affecting a very small number number of people.

Both Google Now / Search and Newsstand have been crashing on launch with the stock ROM. But on my other JB devices no such problem. I tried rooting this tablet. No change. Then I flashed the unofficial Cyanogenmod 10.1. That solved the problem.
My assumption: the Samsung stock ROM is the source of the problem.
What did I learn?
- My tablet is running smoother without all the Samsung crap. I should have done it even sooner!
- I will probably gravitate in the future to Nexus devices where the OS is not compromised by vendor-motivated overhead. And it's easier to get updates and custom ROMs.
- Because Samsung has not been fully cooperative with the developer community, ROMs often lack certain device drivers. (Another advantage for Nexus.)
If this motivates you to root and flash just be aware of two known deficiencies with the ROM I am using:
-no tethering
-once you turn off wifi you'll have to reboot to turn it on again.
(Thanks, Samsung for withholding wifi device drivers from the public.)

We shouldn't have to install custom roms in order for an app to work. I have tried to report the issue to Google but I have yet to receive feedback. I have flashed many roms and many of my Android devices but I longer wish to do so since no one rom is fully functional as it should, there will always be issues. I too may consider a Nexus device, but at the same time I have always liked Samsung and their products but this one issue with this app is a little annoying.

Hi Manipur,
Try to download this:
http://sdrv.ms/18hoDxb
Let me know if any problems.

Whether Samsung or Google, the android environment can come across as chaotic. So much going on with all various versions.
Samsung keep selling us pretty much the same devices with new software, I'm not particularly impressed their pace of improvements.
Google products seems to work well on Apple ios, android is still missing functions available Apple for a good while now, funny how that works.

Oops. Too bad, that is the oldest one I have, and it works fine in my case.

I know I'm not the only one with this issue, anybody have an any ideas as to why Google search no longer works, even after new updates. On My wife's Note II she gets all the updates with no issue, she is also running 4.1.2. This is really pissing me off.
