Hello Everyone, I really need help. I downloaded the paranoid android ROM on my galaxy S3 and have been having problems with it. I'm not sure if it's because my phone has been turned off due to not being able to pay my bill, but I keep getting a message on my screen saying OTA not responding and that will go away after I press ok a few times, but then another message will pop up saying android.com not responding and I press ok and it will keep popping up. I can't do nothing but take the battery out. I will go into CWM mode and do a factory reset and a cache reset, but still have that message. I'm stuck and don't know what to do. I don't want to uninstall it because I really like it, but if I really have to I will. I'm just hoping someone can help me out. I'm new to all this rooting and adding custom ROM's.
So many things wrong..where to begin?

k i need some help.
everytime i turn on my phone it resets and deletes everything i had saved on the phone.
P.S when i turn on my phone it also goes to the welcome screen where i have to align the screen and set it up.
how do i make this stop so it wont reset and delete everything.
Very odd, it seems to be performing a hard reset on every boot. You'd have better luck going to an Omnia-specific forum than trying to find the few people here that own one.
Good luck!
sounds like its broke to me!
check out modaco forum, here. You will find there is a smartphone genius on there called Paul, if he can't help you, then no one can (apart from a Samsung dealer).
Ok... to put it in terms of old school basic, here's what I created:
10 GOTO 10
I have a mort script to change the moon phase image which loaded in the startup folder in windows, which was working beautifully.
I wanted to have a script to do a soft reset daily.
I tried to install one found elsewhere in the forum, but kept getting errors.
Then I thought... hmmm that moon phase script only goes off once a day, I'll just add "reset" at the end of that one.
And right before I hit the reset button, the nagging thought pops in saying "Boy I hope this doesn't cause a loop..."
Since you read the title, you already know what happened.
So... after searching around, I didn't see anthing that would tell me how to interrupt the boot process to prevent that script from running.
Thanks in advance.
Ooops.
I did something similar. I had luck though, because I had safe mode (which is a feature of SPB Mobile Shell, I think) and that helped me.
I'll keep my thumbs crossed for you.
Since lots of people read my post, yet couldn't offer a suggestion to fix it... I tried flashing the ROM, in the hopes it would solve the problem.
Which it did.
So now you know what to do if you're ever in the same position.
Cannot pass a welcome screen
I just got my GTablet. Power it up first time and it did not ask me for any setup (no welcome screen and agreement acceptance). I played couple minutes and power it down (have no time).
So now I powered it again and did get the welcome screen (surprise ) but after I select “Agree” with a agreement and press next – I got message “application unexpectedly foreclose, please try again” . And I tried many many times but I cannot pass this message.
Can some one help me? Should I return it right a way?

Depends, If you are adventurous, you could download and re-flash back to stock using any one of several posts that detail re-flashing youre tablet (Look for NVFLASH BACK TO STOCK), if not then I would return it.
In any case, once you have a working unit, you will most likely want to replace the stock ROM with one of the updated roms that the developers on this forum have created. There are FROYO, GINGERBREAD ROMS that are very stable and fully functional. There are a couple Honeycomb ROMS that are in alpha stage.
Spend some time reading thru the threads before you make a decision and good luck
Look at this POST for re-flashing your tablet back to stock. READ the entire post before trying!!!

Thank you folks, I am kind uncertain about refreshing my gtablet with custom rom before having fully functional original one.
what do you think is it safe ?
any ideas why original one crashed on set-up screen? does anyone had this type of issue?
thanks in advance.

Nearly everyone had this problem right out of the box: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896395
Clear all the FC dialogs, set up your wifi network, download the OTA update to 3588. After that's applied you will have a much more stable machine.
Ok, it looks like I solved it. And the issue was – NO WIFI access at the time!!!
I am going to explain as I have understood it (may not be the case but I am quite confident) helpfully it will be useful info for others.
First when I got my gtab I powered it up and did not get any “welcome screen” (where you are agree with a user agreement and set time and location as well as set up accounts). So I played with it a little bit (set-up WIFI) and powered it off. So next time when I have powered my gtab up I was in a different location with no WIFI available. And this time a get “welcome screen” but when I tried to complete the “welcome screen “it crashed (and I believe because it require access to internet). And until I get to the first location I could not pass “welcome screen”! BUT as soon as I get to the location with WIFI, everything went fine!
I purchased a refurbished (wifi only) model. The problem occurred from day .
The system will freeze after about 5 minutes and sometimes simply reboots, even when it's not being used.
I have done a factory reset and booted to safe mode but problem persists.
I think it is a hardware issue, but what should I look for or tell a repair tech?
I have the exact same problem. Anyone have any further information?

Read the threat " Flickering Screen" but only a last few pages as previous pages have no helpful information with many guessing solutions.
@Beut, could you please give a link to the thread "Flickering Screen"?
In various other threads people are refered to that thread, but neither by googling nor by searching the forum I could find it.
Thanks in advance!

Boy, this thread got sidetracked quickly. Mostly because you asked a REALLY IMPORTANT question. Once it got sidetracked, no one came back to address your original concern.
So here is what I know.
1. If your system becomes unresponsive - meaning any icon you tap on nothing happens, even when pressing the big button in the bottom center - tap the power button. It shuts the sceen off. Then hit the oval button, unlock the screen. It should work.
2. The random reboots probably means something has been changed or knox has been tripped. Possibly the device may have been rooted/unrooted once. It probably is a google thing. I personally HATE google+. Try to clear the davlik cache. It is located in /data/dalvik-cache - in the root area, if using Total Commander. You have to have root. Delete everything in this directory then do an immediate restart. On restart, android will rebuild each caching file for each current app, it may take a minute or two, but there will be a progress message all along.
Try those things
Do any of you guys have the Verizon or the SIM card LTE version?
If that is a YES, believe that I can help you.
(Regarding OP's WiFi model, I think that one needs to be replaced or returned)

I have a Lenovo A606 phone with me that was preloaded with Android KitKat. I'm still new to the technical part of Android, so I decided to explore my phone by rooting it with Kingroot, which allowed me to access the system drive to remove bloatware and etc. The phone also came with a crappy launcher, so I decided to replace the launcher with Google Now Launcher and then remove the original launcher so that the RAM and processor is not choked on any background processes. This, with an intention to give my phone the stock look.
A couple of months back I decided to factory reset my phone and guess what. After that, my phone became launcherless, if that's even a word. Now, the phone just boots into a white screen that says initializing, please don't turn off device. This can take forever as I'm pretty sure what the software is trying to do, which is load the default launcher which is now missing.
Some of the solutions I've looked around the web is installing a custom rom to the phone. But the phone now pretty much is useless as it does not allow me to do anything. Not even getting to the settings page because the notification bar does not have a direct button to settings but has options to toggle wifi, bluetooth and so on. It allows me to drag and drop files via the PC but that doesn't do much. I've tried some adb techniques, all of which failed because of one error which is "error: closed". Anyways, I'm not that savvy with that.
With all due respect, if there's anyone out there who can help me get through this problem by all means, not even running its stock rom or maybe run another similar rom. Oh, and btw, it's running android stock recovery. Your help is much appreciated and your help explained detailed and listed step by step would be even more great! Thanks!
