I am running the CleanRom LE v4.5 ROM created by scrosler, and everything seems to be working ok (camera, radios -- using the recommended Radios and RPM from his post#2).
The ROM is very snappy and pleasant to use, and all of my previously installed apps seem to be working fine. It is basically seamless except for one problem.
I use the Apex Launcher rather than Touchwiz Home, and now every time the phone starts up (reboot or cold start), Apex Launcher crashes. This results in the OS asking once again which launcher should be the default, and Apex Launcher running through its startup sequence.
This is kind of annoying. What should I do to investigate this problem?

(p.s. I would post this in the CleanROM thread except I don't have 10 posts yet)
try rebooting to recovery and wipe your cache and dalvik cache, then fixing permissions. If that doesn't do it, I'd uninstalling then reinstall apex.

I posted directly to the main Miren Browser thread, but as this applies specifically to the FreeX10 ROM, I figured it'd be good to post about here as well.
After installing the FreeX10 (Beta 2) ROM last night, I was getting constant FCs of the following apps after starting to restore some of my main apps (everything was working fine until then):
- Settings
- Google Search
- Search
- Market
- android.process.acore
- process.com.google.process.gapps
I re-installed the ROM from xRecovery and tried again. Same as before. Things were working OK until after I restored a selection of app from Titanium Backup, and then constant FCs of the above apps, beginning as soon as the system booted.
Today I once again re-installed the ROM, but this time have been clean installing apps from the market a few at a time. I seem to have traced the problem to Miren Browser, as as soon as it was installed the FCs started, and didn't go away until I uninstalled it and rebooted.
Has anyone else noticed a similar issue?
What rom version did you use before?
Have you tried installing miren browser from the market or with the apk file? How did that work out.

I was using the original Nordic 2.1 firmware (build 2.0.A.0.504) prior to upgrading to to FreeX10 2.2.1 Beta 2.
As for Miren, I tried re-installing it from my Titanium Backup, as well as installing it from the market. Same effect both times.
It's the only one of the 150 or so app I have installed that gave me such troubles. Everything else ran stable.
Deleted, I misunderstand the thread.

It's not just your phone. It happened to me too yesterday. Exact same processes FC'ing all the time. I don't know if it was Miren Browser to blame for me too but I did install it and was also getting Force Closes related to the browser.
I'll reinstall Beta2 shortly to see if it was Miren causing it for me (back on B1 for now).
I had the same problem. Because of Miren Browser my phone was going crazy with lots random FCs

Don't install it! Meanwhile, I'm having trouble accessing my phone due to lack of launcher, any ideas?
EDIT: If you get stuck, connect to your pc in disk mode, drag over the zip found in the link below, instal in recovery TWRP, reboot, select nova, restore old apex in Titanium Backup (with data), profit!

always have at least two launchers installed to avoid not having a launcher....I have 6 installed.....I usually use Apex and yes it is jacked up on this update, I simply switched to Nova and reported the bug to Apex. It will be fixed soon enough.

Dev fixed the issue same day and the 1.3.1 update works seamlessly for me. You should remove your post as the dev was just about as responsive as I've seen any dev to get the issue resolved.

This is a tweaked versions of CARBON-JB-UNOFFICIAL-B11 so all credit goes to killersloth for the ROM. Without his work this ROM wouldn't be possible. So if you like this ROM please go to the CARBON ROM thread and click the "Thanks" button.
Changes Made:
Replaced Trebuchet launcher with Nova launcher.
Replaced stock gallery with Sony Z Album and Movie app (Facebook & Twitter integration working.)
Added Sony Z Walkman app with UPNP/DLNA Media Server.
Replaced the default kernel with the kernel from CM10.1 Stable by verygreen.
Added BeatsAudio+xLoud+ClearAudio for audio effects and ViPER4Android for the sound engine. Settings I am using.
Added Mobile BRAVIA® Engine for improved video processing.
Modified Adobe Flash 11.1 with Hulu support.
Host level ad blocking. If you are having issues with adblocking see attachments to remove it.
Forced all rendering to be done on the GPU. Should help with gaming and make things more smoother. To help improve performance even further see this post.
GoogleEars.
Kick Ass Kernelizer
Auto-zipalign and defragdb on boot
Auto Calibration on boot. Only does a few programs each boot. So may take a few reboots to calibrate all of them.
Plus many improvements taken from this thread.
I also added some terminal commands.
Run each command with SU first then the command.
fixfc - Fix apps force closing.
sclean - Clean the dalvik cache and cache partition
v6 - run the V6 SuperCharger script. I would run this as soon as the ROM is setup..
Know bugs
Not a bug as such but something you should be aware of. It does take a few reboots to optimise all the apps.
V4A XHiFi may do a hot reboot when first getting root, same with Root Browser. This will only happen once and will work fine afterwards. This is only normally an issue if you try getting ROOT on first boot. On the second reboot this doesn't happen.
Wifi will turn off then back on while it is setting up wl1271-nvs.bin. Once the file is created Wifi shouldn't disconnect.
Any more issues please report them.

If you would like to use the WALKMAN app from the Sony Xperia Z Ultra you can do so by flashing this: Xperia-Ultra_WALKMAN_SemcMusic.zip. Make sure you boot into the ROM before flashing. If you flash this without booting into the ROM first it will not work.
Most of the features in the Sony Xperia Z Ultra WALKMAN are working but "Music Unlimited" service isn't.
Thank you, I will give it a try.
Do we use the gapps from the original carbon threads?
And how do you flash the scrips? Just like any other zip file? Can it be done when installing this ROM ?

I just added the scripts as a separate download so other devs can take a look at them without downloading the whole ROM. All the scripts are included in the ROM. Everything you need is built into the ROM. Just download it and install.

I installed on top of Carbon B9 without wiping anything and everything was forceclosing.Then I wiped cache partiion and Dalvick cache and reinstalled ,it was usable thistime but several apps still forceclosing including Chrome,I went back to Carbon.

If you did not install with full wipe I am note sure it is fair to mark it as unstable. Did you even attempt to clear the app data for the apps foreclosing?
have not tried this yet but just thought labeling the effort as unstable prior to proper install is not fair.

Just installed with full wipe restoring apps and data from TB. So far everything is ok.
Feels slightly less laggy than B9.
Dunno about battery life yet.
This is working great for me.
I did a dirty flash over RootBox and it's really nice.
Been the best rom for me on my Nook so far. Pinguy1982, please keep the thread updated mate.
Only issue I had was my usual
Android.process.acore has stopped
Which I resolved by following the text below. (cribbed from somewhere on the net)
If you go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/ then choose the All tab. Scroll down to Contacts open it and clear the data cache. Now do the same again but this time open Contact Storage and also clear the data cache. This issue is related to an Android bug and affects many devices. It's related to apps that use the sync function.
Works for me.
Cheers all

I agree completely and would urge the poster to revise his comment or certainly remove the subject. Way too hasty and unfair to make such a quick judgment certainly in the absence of a full or data wipe.

Sorry if I offended you.My understanding is that you wipe data only if you are installing in place of different ROM.It was carbon on top of Carbonand I did not feel I needed to wipe data partition.

Dude it's all cool. But I have changed a fair bit to the ROM so just installing over it probably won't work. I have made drastic changes to how dalvik works so using pre-installed apps from a previous install probably won't work.

Apps no, dalvik cache maybe. Restoring apps settings and the apps won't be a problem, but using the dalvik cache might be.
The cache is in /data/dalvik-cache. Using that maybe an issue.

thanks.I always clear out dalvik cache anyway when I try new stuff. I was thinking of trying it. the new build of cm 10.1 seems to match up with my tablet perfectly so we will see. thanks for the ROM. the more the better

I did this too, but wiped dalvik, no force closes, but status bar is gone and can't get it back... going to try flashing again...
Just flashed a couple of hours ago and seems pretty rad so far. I'll give it some time to "settle" before passing judgement. Definitely like the idea!
Good to see more options around here. My hat goes off to all devs.

Battery drain so far seems to be no worse than B9 for me.
Definitely like this ROM, it is faster and smoother than any other I tried for my Nook, seems quite stable as well (no random reboots etc.)
Hey,
Couldn't find any info regarding this issue.
I have CM11 installed on my nexus 5, and each time I update the version (nightly) it removes the Trebutchet launcher.
This is pretty frustrating seeing as each time I need to re-install the launcher and re-organize all my desktop setup.
CM11 with PA full G-apps - did full wipe before rom and g-apps installation.
*I would ask on the official CM11 nightly thread, though it seems i have insufficient permissions.

stop wiping.
all you are doing is updating, theres no need to wipe. every time you wipe data, you lose your setup. just flash the new rom over the older rom(and gapps) and your launcher will stay.

I guess my explanation wasn't good enough, i'll explain again.
I don't re-wipe every time, I only wiped the first time before installing CM11 for the first time.
Since then I updated (nightly versions) twice by simply flashing and both times they removed my Trebutchet launcher.

Trebuchet still doesn't have a backup settings function? What a joke.
Use a better launcher. Nova is good.

Thanks but I like the "close to vanilla" launcher with little customization options it offers.
And regardless of backup or not, I still don't understand why anything should be removed when I update - same rom both kitkat, only new nightly - boom stuff removed.

Isn't Trebuchet just branched from Google Now Launcher? It doesn't have it either unless you use the Xposed module.

If the launcher is in the zip file, then it will be in system. So the permissions may be incorrect.

Hi folks,
Fairly new user, have flashed a few, mainly CM (v7.2, v9).
I now have a HTC Sensation (supposedly an XE), and I've put SultanXDA's CM11-20140725 KitKat 4.4.4 ROM on it.
I'm liking it, but I get random app crashes and delays in the touchscreen (that not very often).
I installed 4ext Recovery 1.0.0.6, did a Factory Reset / Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik Wipe, and then installed the ROM, followed by 4.4.4-gapps-20140811.zip.
There is no EXT partition on the SD card.
I did try the 20140811 ROM update, but I ended up with a broken setup wizard and a homescreen that was blank save for the notification drawer at the top and no buttons or icons.
The 20140725 version works nice and smooth (at least until the app crash).
Any assistance appreciated.
Cheers.
Wow. Popular thread....
So, I found how to enable Developer options in the ROM, and switched from Dalvik to ART.
The ROM sh*t itself through a couple of reboots, and.... so far, so smooth.
DSP Manager seems to have died, though. GUI works, sound just doesn't change.
