So... sometimes when I install a custom rom I will use it for a week, then it will just start force closing everything (Keyboard, facebook, etc.) So I did some research, and from the G1 CyanogenMod wiki I found this...http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=DangerSPL_and_CM_5_for_Dream
(Look under troubleshooting and wipe)
I'm not sure if this applies to us, but apparently if we wipe the Dalvik Cache and reinstall the ROM it fixes the problem. I recently switched to Andromeda and I haven't had the "Force close of death" Problem since I started doing the following DIRECTLY AFTER flashing a new rom:
1) Go to ClockworkMod Recovery
2) Go to advanced whatever (I don't have my phone with me, sorry I can't be more helpful with menus =/
3) Select wipe Dalvik cache
4) reinstall the ROM (For me, andromeda) through cwm recovery, and presto! those nasty force closes are gone. I tested this with Cognition, which was what was giving me the force closes and convinced me to switch to Andromeda, and the FC problem was solved!
Sorry if this was already posted somewhere, I DID search the forum and saw nothing on this exact problem so yeah, here ya go! Let me know if I forgot a step/am completely wrong. All I can say is that this worked for me.
Hopefully this helps someone!
Damn, I've only had 999998 Force Closes, so I guess it doesn't apply to me.
Just kidding, I'll have to try this next time.

Haha yeah. I noticed it usually happens after leaving my phone on for more than a day, then turning it off and charging it, then turning it back on. It seems like it only wants to charge when it's turned on or else it's "force close this" and "force close that"
Alot of the custom roms wipe the dalvik cache when they're installed I think. It can be put in the update script.

Hi there,
I have a UK WiFI xoom, and everything was working fine. I installed the ICS AOSP rom, and no issues.
The problem started when I updated the AOSP ICS rom, and the gapps, Now I DONT HAVE MARKET access. The loading circle just goes round and round till it says 'connection timed out - retry'. The GTALK doesnt connect either, it just says 'signing in' till it goes 'offline'.
Right now, I am on the EOS Wifi ICS rom.
Here's what I HAVE done so far to fix it based on ideas in this forum and others (trust me, I search before I post:
- Factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik before every rom install
- Installed every single ICS rom there is, with the recommended google apps
- wiped data on the google services framework
- Installed different version of gapps
- Shut down the firewall on the HOME NETWORK.
It just doesnt work anymore. It used to connect fine to the home Wifi earlier but something just went wrong somewhere and i cant track it down.
Any help would be appreciated.
you have any more info like does your xoom show you are connected to your wifi? do you have any other wireless devices and are they accessing the internet fine? are you flashing the right gapps package?
yea, Wifi is connected fine. Alternate markets like 'slideme', and browser, gmail, maps app etc work fine without problems.
I have flashed the latest gapps package as recommended by EOS rom makers (v. 10 i believe)
after installing the eos mod, did u restart before installing the gaps?
load a stock backup then reinstall your current flavor and gapps

Just quickly, 10.4 is the latest Gapps to use with EOS.

First, take a deep breath. It's probably something small that's causing the problem, no doubt.
Some of the EOS Nightly are more stable than others. I would recommend wingray nightly build #56 (very smooth and stable) with the 10.4 GAPPS flashed immediately afterward. First wipe cache partitions, then dalvik cache (in advanced) then flash the rom and the GAPPS, then reboot. This should work very well for you. If you feel the need to do another data wipe, do that before anything else.
IMHO, no need to flash stock images 1st. Just flash on top of your current rom.
Good luck!
ok- will try and respond with results. thanks for the patience/

Hi - I did the steps exactly as you said (with a full data wipe). Still getting nowhere?
Any more ideas?
Go back to stock US recovery ROM. Start again.
Also no idea how to fix it (as nothing previously worked), but the symptoms seem similar to when you haven't accepted the agreement that pops up on new google framework (?) version. Won't let you use market or gtalk.. has happened to me before.
Before flashing, try an extra wipe: wipe system (in some recoveries also called "format system" ). I have been saved by this more than once.

I always wipe dalvick and cache partition. Install ROM from SD card, followed by latest Gapps and then use the fix permissions in advanced settings before rebooting. I have never had a single problem and have been using EOS Wingray nightly since release 11. I am sure the fix permissions is the key to this. No need to do a full wipe if you are on the same ROM!

i will try that now.
Also, if i should move back to stock - which rom should I go to? HC or ICS? any links would help. thx guys, for the patience.

You can only go back to 3.0 or whatever it is. t will update to 3.2, and then hopefully ICS.
On tablet, so can't quickly find original motorola dev website - try Googling. Here is link to post with hosted firmwares anyway..

Have you tried accessing the market through the browser? You will need to sign in...that may reestablish your link. I can't see why you need to go back to stock Honeycomb. It gets complicated getting cwm recovery back on (to stick).
I had a similar issue on my DHD. It turned out that your language needs to be US English.
Hope this helps

Hi all,
I have flashed the CM10 JB rom by krook1 on my lenovo k1 but for some reason can't get my hardware button to work correctly. When I push the home botton it seems to be assigned to some other function. I have tried re flashing and it's still not working. I really want this rom to work so I can use the OC kernel. I have read the threads over and over and nobody seems to be experiencing this but me. What am I missing?
Possibly your device is returning the wrong keycode?
Google "android scancode keycode" for some ideas.

Still not working
I tried booting in CWM and checking key strokes. Then loaded keyremapper and check the assignment. The button press on the home button is "102" and keyremapper reports it being assigned to "home" Everything looks right but it still doesn't work.
Fix permissions??
-- Sent from my TouchPad using Communities
Nope
Thanks for the suggestion. Tried wipe, and cleared dalvik cache, and fixed permissions. Still not working. I went back to the ics rom cm9 and it works. Tried again installing the cm10 jb rom same problem.
The odd thing is that in 66 pages of the jb cm10 thread nobody has mentioned this problem.
Hello, I thought I'd try to post this here to see if any one else is experiencing this issue. I am running PAC 2.3.0, the 8/20/13 release. I have my tablet updated to the 4.2 boot loader via Version US_V10.6.1.15.3, and flashed this with TWRP 2.6 after wiping system, data cache and dalvik. After flashing the rom and the most current gapps (8/12/2013) every thing boots fine. Then I get to the setup screen and there is an error message displaying the AOSP keyboard has stopped.
I hit ok then try to enter my wifi password and some error just flickers too fast to see. I attach the keyboard dock and still no luck for typing. The home and other keys seem to function properly. After skipping through the setup I notice that the choose keyboard lay out notification in the status bar, but when choosing it the error message pops up that Settings has stopped. I have downloaded this twice onced on my pad and once from the pc. Nothing seems to be diffrent.
I know that this is still early in the game for 4.3 but, I can't be the only one experiencing this. I haven't seen any other posts on this, so if any of you out there have any ideas I am all ears. Thanks in advance.
It happened to be, but only when I tried swiping. What you are experiencing seems to be a bit more complex.
Are you able to install a different keyboard, like Go Keyboard?
I haven't tried that. I'll give it a shot.

I tried again last night. I did a dirty flash over 23 with a dalvik and cache wipe and a re-flash of the latest gapps. same deal. Then I tried with a full wipe and flash of the rc1 from 8/25 same thing except now it tells me who to blame when the keyboard stops. lol.
I have a d2vzw galaxy S III and it give the same keyboard error. So it isn't just our build.
*I found a solution a while ago, but have been too busy to post. I downloaded the official PA gApps for 4.3. Problem solved. The gApps on goo.im were form 4.2.2.*

I have the same problem. I have searched and searched but been unable to find any way to access Recents. Long pressing the home key does nothing. I also tried the Recently app but could not figure out how to get it to activate.
pretty awesome !
after flashing "Slim-skyrocket-5.1.1.alpha.0.3-UNOFFICIAL-20150607-0208" I keep asking myself "why my battery is not draining" It's like -0.5%/hr during deep sleep.

Not sure. Maybe stock video player doesn't support that video format.
Try MX player and tell me which video format is not working? Oh boy ! ?

Hey everyone. I am currently 20150607-0208 version. I am thinking of switching to the latest version with the F2FS support. I need guidance on how to install this specific rom. Just need to confirm few things. So i wipe date and cache to F2FS and i wipe dalvik cache and system in the normal way we usually do? Then I flash rom and gapps? Thats it?

Format /data and /cache to F2FS. Then wipe /system and /dalvik (yes, clean flash). Make sure you make a nandroid backup first. This will also preserve your current file system type for data and cache for when you restore, if needed.
You might want to wait until my next build is posted to try it. There will be a bunch of things fixed as well as new features.
Help needed. Strange problem
Hey. I really need help here. I have been using SlimLP for quite sometime now. No issues no nothing. I was using the latest rom with the F2FS support. I was using it and suddenly it flashed, vibrated and kept on vibrating. I did not pay much attention. Took the battery out, reinserted it and it worked fine. I was already thinking of trying Paranoid so i had already put the respective rom and gapps in the phone.
So i changed the rom and clean flashed Paranoid. It worked fine for a few days but i started experiencing the same problem again. I use the phone, it flashes, vibrates and then keeps on vibrating. I try pressing power button so it shows samsung logo, starts to boot as i can see the paranoid icon, but breaks in between and the same thing happens. But sometimes its able to boot properly. I use the phone for a while and same thing happens.
I clean flashed this rom again. Same issue. Clean flashed the previous Slim rom. same issue. Restored backup from slim rom. same issue. Restored backup of my stock jellybean. Same issue! Please help!
My phone is currently sitting idle and i am not experiencing any issue. As soon as i use it, after a minute or two i face this problem. Please help.
Help with google
Thank you very much for the hard work and do appreciate it all.
Am coming from a different rom which is also 5.1 and am using latest philz touch recovery. I cleared everything including dalvik cache and
flashed both rom and gapps and the phone boots up successfully. Am actually enjoying the rom but my problem is i can't setup google account on the rom. It force closes during the account setup process.
Re-flashed the rom successfully, as the first time around it did not ask me Language or Google account info and Google Play services kept crashing endlessly. Maybe I just needed to flash it again, or maybe the Gapps package I got didn't agree with my setup (now using Slim_zero_gapps.BETA.5.1.build.0.x-20150820 and it seems to work ok). Thanks for the upload! I have been looking for a good custom rom to run my i727 until I upgrade to a newer phone. The BEST rom I had before was SlimKat Official for Skyrocket, but it's a bit outdated don't you think? It's very nice to see a new interface; really brings a freshness and new appreciation for my old hardware. Thank you.
Also, I am kind of curious about how to view currently opened apps. I used to hold the home button to do this so I could cycle through and kill them if needed.
-Edit- August 26, 2015 2:18 P.M. CST I really love how smooth this rom is at times, but other times it gets laggy and crashes apps after a couple moments for no reason. I did use a custom PIT file to re-partition my i727 so may be other variables as well. Has anyone else had apps crash on them?
