[Q] Process system is not responding. Would you like to close it?

I got this while replying to a text message...
I've been getting quite alot of these, from even various applications. It's driving me nuts!!!!
Is there any (permanent) solution for this??
ROM: Gummy
Kernel version: 3.1.10_IcyGlitch_V14-BS_I896-I897 [email protected] #1
Baseband version: T959TLJL3
I'd be forever grateful if this problem could be solved... I really love this ROM

First I would reboot to recovery, then wipe cache, in advanced wipe dalvik cache, then fix permissions. If the problem comes back , I would back up your apps, msgs, that you want, then, wipe system,cache, wipe data/factory reset, and reflash. Maybe a newer rom.

This is a bug firmware, also sometimes a problem when using swap. I recommend flash newest ROM, they are much better.

I did the first thing you reommended, it didn't work and to make matters worse, ma phone doesn't pass the boot screen....
I quickly rebooted in recovery and made a nandroid backup - followed your second suggestion but i never made a backup of ma msgs because you didn't say so in the 1st suggestion... i can load new roms but can restore from ma nandroid backup

When you wipe dalvik cache, your phone can and will take several minutes to reboot, because it's rebuilding the dalvik cache. Secondly, wiping dalvik cache and fixing permissions wouldn't cause your phone to not boot. Between my wife's and my phone, I've flashed Roms, updated, experimented, fixed, stuff, etc... hundreds of times, and never has a dalvik cache wipe / fix permissions caused the phone to not boot. Hesitant to try to help, because you seem to be blaming me..... But if you can't restore a nandroid, it could be you're on a kernel in which the nandroid backup/restore feature doesn't work, you are running an earlier ICS build.

I'm sorry if i came across like that...
just that the phone is driving me nuts
ALSO.... it's the second time i am seeing where reboot take way longer than usual after restoring from a nandroid backup. I av done quite a few and reboot takes less than 10mins. I attempted one the other day and 2hrs 30mins later all i saw was the splash screen and boot animation, phone HOTT!!
This evening again, it looked as if it was going to do the same thing thing... it passed 20mins, i can't sit around waiting for that again

It sounds like a flash to stock KK4 (Full Reparation) would be your best bet. If you're already on G. B. bootloaders, I would recommend the NO BOOTLOADER version, no use flashing bootloader unnecessarily. After that, I would flash the rom of your choice, following the instructions in the O. P. line by line.
Maybe a lot more current rom.

Then I recommend re-flash the stock kk4 NO BOOTLOADER, format the internal sd, install the ROM again and install all the programs manually, not with the nandroid backup.

[Q] Installing JellyWiz Beta 4

So I'm coming from Synergy Nightlies 73. Using TWRP2.2 I did the normal steps before loading a new ROM. ( Cache Wipe, Dalvik Wipe, System Wipe) Once I flashed the JellyWiz Beta 4 ROM the phone booted up just fine. However, it froze within a matter of seconds and I had no functionality. I pulled the battery a few times and each time the phone would freeze. I had to restore my previous ROM. Any ideas or has anyone had this problem? I really want to try out the new JellyWiz.

with cwm, it would be under mount and storage>format system/data/cache.
I don't use twrp but I'd think there's a similar option.
Also check md5 to make sure you have a good download.

I don't see that option(format system) anywhere. I went under wipe and wiped Cache, Dalvik, and System. I did try to select the Format Data but that option failed multiple times.

I've always used CWM without any problems until recently. It wasn't creating back up of my ROM. So I made the switch to TWRP which seems to work fine when loading other Synergy builds. I checked the MD5 and it was good. I may have to go back to CWM however, without a back up I'm afraid to flash anything.

Yeah, know what you mean about not having a backup. It always a hassel installing everything from scratch.
Have been using cwm 6012. Never had a problem making backups....or anything else.
But yes I'd try the system format along with clean wipe before installing Incubus beta4. I'm testing it right now too. Has few minor bugs, but overall very fast and slick

So I went back to CWM Touch 5.8.4.9 everything worked like a charm. I was able to back up and install Incubus Beta 4. When I was using CWM I realized when you wipe data it says factory reset. Which is an option on TWRP in the wipe menu. So I believe that's what I was doing wrong. Operator error! Thanks for the the replies.
I haven't been able to get wifi tether to work on Beta 4. I'm going to search the forums for the solution. Just wondering if you've had an issue?

I seriously can't figure it out.

I've been tinkering with androids for well over a year now and have rooted unlocked and s-off'ed amongst other things many different devices. For some reason I'm having trouble flashing kernels to my s3. Yes I'm unlocked and yes I'm flashing aosp kernels to aosp roms and touchwiz kernels to touchwiz roms. The problem seems most persistent on aosp roms and yes I've also checked that they both had the same cm10 commits. The only kernel I could get to boot was clean kernel on beans custom. Other than that no other kernels will work. The device will boot then the screen will start glitching up and then eventually bootloop. I've also made sure to wipe dalvik and cache plus fix permissions. I've also tried just flashing the kernel after doing a full wipe and starting with a new rom and have root 66ed back to stock and re unlocked. Is there something I'm missing here? I'm getting frustrated as I love custom kernels. Oh and the latest combo I tried was liquid smooth rc3 and lean kernel 1.0. Thanks guys.

did you try wiping cach, davik cach, and fix permissions AFTER flashing then reboot?
Ofc wipe cach and dalvik cache before also.

My usual process goes something like this
*Wipe Cache
*Wipe Dalvik
*Flash Kernel
*Wipe Cache & Dalvik again
*Fix Permissions
Works like a charm every time.
Samsung Galaxy S3

i have had the same trouble once...fixed it by flashing back to a stock kernel first.
try this:
wipe cache & dalvik
flash stock kernel.zip- http://db.tt/ceeDTAfz
flash custom kernel
reboot

Is that the stock cm10 kernel or touchwiz? Also yes I've tried wiping before and after and fixing permissions. So weird and its driving me nuts. I miss having awesome battery life

stock kernel = stock TW kernel

Tried flashing the stock kernel still same thing. It's so weird. It will begin to boot and then boot animation will start flickering or flashing then glitch up. With every kernel it's the same result.

I've tried that a few times when doing a fresh rom install. I mean root66ing through odin should completely wipe everything. I just don't see what I'm missing. I've even tried using a different recovery and still the same. Could it just be something specific to my phone? I'm so freaking stumped!!

now when you odin back to stock, your booting into stock recovery after flashing the rom(root66) and doing a data wipe/factory reset correct? you said full wipe, but just want to be clear. it may be corrupted internal memory and might need to be reformatted.

I actually don't think I was wiping after I used Odin. I'll try that as soon as I get home. Though I have done plenty of factory data resets and system wipes, just not right after I odined. And you mentioned formatting how would I go about doing that?

follow section 6 of my guide...link in sig!

Always perform a full/mega wipe as:
1) Wipe data/factory reset
2) Wipe cache partition
3) Wipe dalvik cache
4) In mounts/storage section wipe /system
5) wipe /data
6) wipe /cache
7) wipe /preload
Then flash new ROM.
For flashing a kernel, please perform steps 2 and 3.

Rooted now having problems

I rooted my phone last night and all day today had horrible battery life (4 hours little usage) along with some what looked to be screen reboots. I only rooted phone did not install a rom nor any aps other than titanium. Any ideas why why this is happening and what I should do? Not new to rooting had an incredible that I spent many hours playing with.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

Which method did you use to root your phone? There are several different ways to do it.
Have you checked your battery stats to see what is using your battery? Have you tried restarting your phone?
If restarting your phone doesn't solve your issues, you could install a custom recovery and then wipe your data, cache and dalvik-cache, and then install a new ROM which should solve any of your problems (much like your probably did on your Incredible). If you don't want to use a custom ROM, there are strock, rooted images available both for flashing through ODIN as well as flashing through Recovery.

I used the casual file method. Checked battery stats and nothing out of the ordinary. Also rebooted phone several times. I have a mac so I can't use Odin to go back to stock and try again. I also don't want to install a custom rom yet because I'm waiting for some bugs to be fixed on the synergy rom before I make that jump. My main reason for getting root was to freeze some apps in the meantime (haven't frozen any yet) and to enable the gps toggle switch on car dock via nfc which is working great.

Since I can't use Odin how would I go back to stock? Install the nandroid backup i made then unroot using casual? But before trying that do you think wiping dalvik might work? Strange that this is happening.

So you do have a custom recovery installed already? You don't need Odin as long as you have a custom recovery.
You can try clearing both your cache and dalvik-cache in recovery, and then reboot to see if it solves your problems.
If it doesn't, then backup and sync your data (wiping your data won't wipe your "internal sd card", but you will lose all of your system settings). UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER (search for ez-unlock on the market). Then put this on your sd card (or internal memory): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941334
Boot to recovery. Wipe data, cache, and dalvik-cache. Install that stock, rooted ROM. Reboot and reset up your phone settings.

i used the recovery that was suggested with the casual process. I think i might have fixed my issue i downloaded Rom Manager and reinstalled recovery and powered off my phone then removed battery and now the phone is smooth again but im still noticing that my battery is draining rather quick. This is very strange. Im thinking of unrooting and trying it all over again. I just need to find the original Verizon image.

[Q] how to update cm10 rom?? (im a noob)

i want to update cm10 for the infuse 4g but i dont know how can someone please help and if i do update it does it delete all my apps and stuff please help?

Yes it will delete everything as you will need to do a full wipe. There are many apps that will back everything up but I use titanium back up. Once you back everything boot to recovery and do a full wipe/format and flash your ROM of choice and gapps... any questions... let me know.... I'm still a noob but I'm sure I can help you flash a ROM...
Sent From My Swagged Out AOKP Build 5 Galaxy S3!

If I am reading your question right, you are asking how to update cm10 to cm10. Aka newer version?
If it is the same ROM download it and the corresponding gapps (if newer)
Turn off your phone and take out your SD card.
Then boot into recovery. (Either three finger it, or start the phone back up and reboot into recovery)
At the main menu wipe cache.
Go into advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache.
Go back and go into mounts and storage.
Format /system
Then go back and flash from sdcard
Choose the newer ROM image and flash.
Then flash the new gapps.
Then restart phone. If it goes back to recovery just hit reboot phone again.
This method will not delete your personal apps just system apps. It may reset a few settings, such as log in credentials. But no big deal. (This would depend on the app not what you did)
These methods will never delete your personal photos or music. Only way to ever mess this up is a brick. Which only happens when you do risky flashes, or flash over USB with faulty wires.
If you are asking to go cm10 from cm9 it is described in the ROMs.
If you are going from say cm10 to liquid smooth rom, you can try the above method, but some settings may transfer funny and screw stuff up, so it is better to do the above steps but first do a Wipe data/factory reset.
This factory reset unfortunately wipes all your personal apps. To avoid this as best as possible I suggest titanium back up and use it to back up all your apps. The difference between pay and free titanium back up that you will notice, is that the paid one auto installs all apps, free one you have to install them by pressing install, done, install, done. This is annoying with 25+ apps. I paid for this reason alone.
Hope I helped at all.

It is the first one thanks BTW but I flashed the zip file but didn't wipe anything and it booted up fine it didn't delete anything but now I'm worried that it may of messed up something??

If you notice glitchy things I would recommend wipe and reinstall but if all is well I wouldn't worry about it.
