[Q] [CM11] System crash every one hour - HTC One Mini

Hi,
I flashed CM11 2 weeks ago on my HTC One Mini.
Bootloader unlocked, S-ON, HBoot 2.22, rooted, TWRP 2.7.0.8
CyanogenMod 11-20140504-NIGHTLY-m4
Using LunarUi 2 theme and Dodol launcher
Keyboard: Swype, TouchPalX
Went through 10 hours of hell on that day I flashed TWRP 2.7.0.0 and yeah... it wiped my device :crying: Then I flashed CWM... tried to use RUU... another ROM... another bootloader... another PC... get it S-OFF... endless rebooting... Everything failed until I found TWRP 2.7.0.8, wiped my HTC, reinstalled usb drivers on my computer, and then adb pushed the ROM onto my phone. Phew... so glad that I didn't brick it Thumbs up for Klivarre who wrote the HBoot 2.22 guide Although it was a bit late for me haha.
Anyway... after 2 days of use, I started getting the following problem:
My phone would crash every one hour or so. Sometimes the phone suddenly freezes for a few second and got a popup saying "com.android.systemui has stopped working", pressed "wait" and all the apps (include background, as I noticed that all the notifications on my status bar closes) eventually restarted themselves after 10 seconds. The system didn't reboot.
The other times my phone just freeze. The touch screen did not respond. When I pressed the power or the volume buttons, the backlight lighted up but the screen was still freeze. I would then keep pressing on the power button and the phone would reboot and then it runs without a problem. But crash again after an hour or two
I have tried wiping my cache and dalvik and fix permissions but did not solve the problem.
Another thing, I downloaded the ROM update cm-11-20140504-SNAPSHOT-M8 through the "Settings" on my phone but couldn't flash it. Is this not for HTC One mini?
Any solutions? This is really annoying Any help would be greatly appreciated :good:

that update is not a mini update, it's for the new HTC M8 phone. Personally don't have any experience with the mini CM11. But was thinking you might want to wipe system and data too and reflash your rom by the sounds of it. BUT DON'T do this yet as this will wipe everything maybe including your sdcard (maybe not), until someone with some CM11 experience could maybe lend some assistance.

Thanks for your reply
Normally, would flashing a new ROM deletes all my files on the phone (e.g. music, picture, app etc)? And does Titanium Backup backup the applications themselves (the apk) or just the app data? Can I adb push a TWRP backup onto my phone if I accidentally wiped everything? Can I restore a Titanium Backup in such situation?
If I can restore the backups, I will try to reflash the ROM

If you do full wipes SYSTEM DATA CACHE & DALVIK youll lose apps installed. The SDCARD i'm not sure about. Just don't take the risk and backup and move said backup onto computer for safety.
Titanium Backup should backup the apk and the data. Just don't restore system apps to avoid further problems. Also you "may" be able to push a TWRP backup to your phone, though never tried that myself, but you might have to set the permissions of the TWRP backup to their original permissions. again I am unsure of this, it might be best to test this out BEFORE wiping and installing anything.

Flashed the rom again but the problem is still here
I removed half of the widgets that were on my home screen and I think the situation improved. Now the system crash every 3 to 4 hours.
Could this be due to low RAM and therefore the system closes all background apps?

[Q]Home button not functioning

As posted in the gummy thread, I am experiencing my home button not functioning. Good news i narrowed it down. My roms are good and when fresh the home button operates normally. I have been up and down flashing left and right between GB and Froyo and the roms that overlay them. Titanium backup is the issue, or rather me backing up. yesterday I flashed to EE4 Eclipse pbj coming from GB NAMELESS Eclipse. I restored and that's where the problem showed. My dock went to just applications and none of my buttons worked except for holding power button. I booted to CWM and cleaned cache and wiped, i was left with a working fresh rom.... So now i have the same problem again when restored system i lost my home button, I filtered the restoration files too, only did contacts,mms and things along that line... My question what is the bad restore that i'm doing and how can i fix my current bad restore without losing everything?
thanks Jeff
I noticed that issue with earlier versions of nameless. perhaps it is something with that.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk
although currently i'm not running nameless maybe it autobackuped up part of the system when NAMELESS was on my device. Restoring must change a file that isn't compatible with other kernels. If only i could pinpoint the restoration file that does it and get a fake file to replace it
So randomly after 2 manual starts I lost all the launcher icons and no longer have a lock screen. This occurred after I installed a boot animation app. changed my logo, execpt I restarted once and everything was intact. The second restart was where problems arises. Tomorrow im wiping and restoring apps only. Thanks for the help nitro

Simple solution. Don't restore system data. Restoring system data can play havoc with your device when coming from and to different roms. Think about it, some of those system settings you are trying to restore might not even exist on another rom. Stick to restoring user apps, and select user app data, and then get practiced in redoing system settings after a wipe. You'll get used to it doing this over and over. It takes me only 20-30 minutes to go from completely wiped back to my usual setup.
Remember, when restoring data, less is more.
Yep thays what I was thinking. Purchased titanium pro now im back after factory reset not flash

[Q] Application is not installed on your phone

I know there are a lot of questions about this on XDA, but no one seems to give a straight answer on how to fix this or even prevent it.
I flashed kh2 deodexed today via CWM, everything went fine.. I installed titanium backup to restore my apps, which I did, they worked fine until I rebooted the phone. Then the apps dissapeared, and the home screen shortcuts display the SD card icon and they won't open "Application is not installed on your phone".
Then, I did a wipe to data and cache partitions, but this time I restored apps only (without data) one by one, as I needed. Not as a batch, as I did last time, and was working ok. Though, I thought I'd try the ICBINB kh2 ROM, so I flashed it fine. Restored apps through titanium backup, this time one by one, mostly apps only (some of them w/ data) and was working fine, but suddenly the apps dissapeared again.
I'm about to wipe the phone to fix this... but, is there a way to prevent this from happening again?
Is restoring data from titanium causing this?
Well there has been many direct answers on this topic. Factory reset. restore from cwm, not TB.

hey, didn't know that. **presses thanks button**
I just restored apps via cwm, fixed permissions and it's working. It even got my settings back.. wtf. I was living under a rock all this time.
But is it completely safe? I guess that for GB builds, doing backups and restoring this way may be harmless, but probably not the same story if coming from a froyo rom.
Anyway, thanks a lot.
yea, what i did was flash both 2.2.1 and 2.3+ fresh. then backup each and whatever rom you go to, flash the corresponding backup.

Legend 3 ICS Edition Update

Hi there. I currently am running the Legend 2 ICS Edition ROM for Infuse 4G. I just noticed there is a new update Legend 3 ICS. If I want to keep all my files and apps, do I just flash the Update file (instead of the Full Wipe file)? And do I need to go through the same process, clear cache, dalvik cache, etc.? Probably no need to wipe data and factory reset.
Any help is much appreciated! Thanks.

I suggest do a full wipe, if you want to keep your app, "tibu" titanium backup is great and well worth app, buy it...I did and worth every dime. IMHO Tibu will and can backup your apps and restore them.
So I suggest get tibu, backup your apps, do a full wipe install Leg3 go back to Gplay download/install tibu back on, then use the program to restore your apps only in this case.
Plus tibu can do a full backup of your data & apps, say you find your DD but want to test other ROMs, use tibu to backup data & apps, go test the another ROM, and want to come back to your DD ROM, you can then do a full data & app restore...plus there are lots of YouTube vid on Titanium Backup app.

You can do the update and keep your files, which is the reason for the update. Though, like Bigjoe says, a full wipe is always prefered, but not necessary.

The reason why everyone suggests a full wipe is so that you dont potentially run into any problems after the flash. ie flash not working, or camera wont load... little things like that that make it hard to narrow down problems. One of the main things people are going to ask is did you wipe before you installed? It helps to eliminate and remnants of left over roms so that you dont have any issues with the new rom. Its called a Bad flash.
I hope i answered your question!
Thanks for all the replies! So whether it is the full wipe ROM or the update ROM, both go through the same procedure of booting into CWM first? I will try Tibu for app backup! :good:
Stuck at blue loading loop

So I've been using your latest release (full wipe Legend v3) and I did factory reset, clear cache and dalvik cache, fixed permissions, etc. The phone is occasionally laggy now, usually when I open web browser it would stay on the white screen a several seconds. Sometimes, when I open my phone, it would stay on the black screen even though I never turned it off and it still has battery. So I had to long-press the button to restart. I've already rebooted and shut down numerous times but these problems still persist.
Also, bluetooth doesn't work for me. When I enable it from settings, the "Turn bluetooth on" checkbox stays unchecked and does nothing.
Should I reflash again? I did to a Titanium Backup to restore apps and settings... Any help is appreciated! Thanks.
turkish ?
i wonder if turkish is included or not ?

With any rom, you should be able to install More Locale 2 from the Play Store to get support for Turkish (and many other languages).

My bet is the tibu restore of your settings is what is causing the issues, I've had problems and have known others that had problems when restoring system settings with tibu, especially if the tibu backups were done on another rom.

I only started using tibu when I had Legend ICS v2 and then I immediately upgraded to v3 using the full wipe ROM. And then I restored all apps and settings. I'll try wipe and re-flash without restoring any settings in tibu. But honestly, I only wanted to backup my widget and screen settings (such as app shortcuts on home screens) but tibu didn't back that up.

I would try reflashing to stock, then reflashing the rom again, are you converting to ext4 at all or just using rfs?

I'm a noob so I don't know what those are. :laugh: But I've only flashed ZEUS final and then Legend ICS v2 and v3. Full wiped and cleared cache on all those flashes.
I've reflashed to stock and then back to Legend 3 without restoring anything. It is all better now, very snappy. The bluetooth can be turned on now but for some reason, it doesn't detect my Jabra headset no matter how many times I scan. But it detects my Macbook Pro...

Rooted, Backed-Up, Flashed to Synergy...First timer...How to load backups now?

So I left Apple, came to Android, rooted my VZW GS3. First time I've ever done anything like this, so I'm new to it. I backed up EVERYTHING using TiBu, did the IMEI backup, Full system/image backup using CWM, unlocked bootloader, etc. Then I flashed to Synergy r46 (august 20th - yesterday's release).
Now I'm at work and my back-up pulled my contacts via Verizon's server, but how do I get back EVERYTHING else? SMS/MMS logs, call logs, apps, app data, etc? Do I need to download TiBu again (fresh from google market) and then load my backups off my Ext-SD card, or what? I guess I'm a bit confused as to where my TiBu items were even stored/saved...I assume it was the ExtSD card, otherwise I would have lost them all upon flashing to Synergy, correct?
Any help to get all my apps and data back on my newly Synergized phone would be awesome!!!! Thanks in advance!!!
Yes download titanium and then point it to the directory you had your back ups saved to (its sd card by default, and which is your phone storage btw) then tab to backup/restore click the check, then once your app data populates, and select run next to restore apps and data.

I used titanuium backup pro to back up all my Apps and system data. And when I flash a new rom I just redownload titanium pro and it automatically restores all my Apps and system data. It is the easiest app I have used. So to answer ur question.....back up ur apps with titanium then after flashing a new rom go and redownload titanium and restore your system data and apps or just apps alone if that's what u prefer? Does that answer ur question or would u like more detailed instructions?

Another very nice feature of Titanium Backup is its ability to pull data from CWM nandroids. There have been a few times where I was quick to flash a new rom without doing a backup of my apps. This has saved me much time from having to re-flash the nandroid backup, backup via TB, then re-flash to the new rom.

This is one thing that scares me...I don't quite understand what's being wiped or how to perform a full wipe. I hope I don't do this on accident on day...When I flashed the ROM, I basically booted into CWM recovery and installed from there....I was unable to install by opening the ROMs ZIP file via ROM Manager. When I tried to install this way, it failed.
Can somebody confirm if I flashed correctly, just to put my worries to rest? Here's how I did it...
I backed everything up, unlocked bootloader, and tried to install Synergy r46 via ROM manager, but I had problem. I had the ZIP for the ROM downloaded to my Ext-SD card, like the installation instructions say. I then opened ROM Manager and went to "install ROM from SD card." The phone rebooted and opened in CWM to install...But kept having problems finding some "path" or something.
So I decide to wing it and rebooted into CWM. I cleared davik cache(sp?), then user data, then navigated to my Ext-SD and selected the ROM ZIP to install. Now, everything seems fine and it says it installed successfully, but I still think I installed in a way that wasn't described.
Is this a legit install and is this how most people flash ROMs, from booting directly into CWM, or should ROM manager have worked for me via "install ROM from SD card???" If so, why didn't ROM Manager work for me?
Rather urgent question: When I restore my items, do I want to click "RESTORE MISSING APPS + ALL SYSTEM DATA?" ill this restore the bloatware that was on my phone prior to flashing????? If so, is there any way around it
Thanks a bunch! Just waiting on an answer to the later questions before I restore.

I am wondering if you didn't do the full wipe. If you are using CWM v6.0.1.0 then there is no option labeled "user data" it is "wipe data/factory reset" which is the full wipe like I mentioned.
As far as doing it correctly, as you may have already noticed there is more than one way to do about anything. Personally, I still use CWM v6.0.1.0 and flash the zips there.
P.S. I see you are enjoying your freedom of losing your apples!
Also, tell me how your r46 is working ... I have held off at r23 while they are playing around with kernels and ramdisk tweaks for awhile.
Hi, I'm pretty much in the same boat as the OP coming from an iphone and this is my first android phone. My problem is that all of the synergy roms (r39, 46, 50 and 1.7) I tried were unstable and kept rebooting randomly. I unlocked the boot loader and believe I did everything right. Did I miss a step? I restored back my nandroid after several attempts at Synergy. I like the responsiveness and tweaks of Synergy but I couldn't deal with the random reboots. Sometimes it would just continue in a boot loop too.

I'm fairly certain I did "wipe data/factory reset," I just wasn't sure how it was labeled when I typed that out, but that's really ringing a bell. I think I may have gotten the errors before (using ROM Manager) because I hadn't factory reset? Seems to me I'm good to go! However, my question regarding TiBu still remains.
Edit: In regards to informing you about r46, I'm not sure what to report as I've never used a previous Synergy and have no idea how to compare, other than to the rooted stock ROM. I have heard reports of battery life being worse than the stock ROM, and I can confirm this. I've barely used the phone since I flashed to Synergy and it's dropped 15% battery life in ~3 hours. Seems faster than before but I'm unsure.

I started getting that sort of behavior so I just restored back to my stock rooted backup and reflashed Synergy 1.7 r23 and then reflashed the theme I'm using. I thought my issues came from other modifications I had tried so I will try to remember to report back to this post tomorrow and tell you if I'm still having those similar issues or if I'm stable again.

Was 1.7 r23 supposed to be a really stable release? I read through some of the Synergy thread and didn't see anyone having the issues I had. I felt like I was doing something wrong.

I have never had a hot boot or boot loop using any version of synergy. I've been running it since 1.3 and flashed last night's rom as well. What method of unlock did you use for the bootloader unlock? Did you see the custom kernel loaded into phone settings?

I used the EZ-unlock app in the play store. I did see that a custom kernel was loaded however when i flashed back to my nandroid (stock rooted) I am back on the orignal kernel. Would the way I rooted have an effect on the reboots? I used the non flash method by Noxious Ninja.

I agree I have yet to have Synergy boot loop although I'm still on 1.7. I would try to wipe cache and dalvik cache and see if that helps or you could be over clocking to high.

I don't know the answer to that specifically. All I know was that I was stable before another modification I made (that said it wouldn't work but I tried it anyway). Since restoring from backup and reloading Synergy and theme I have not seen any weird rebooting anymore.

I'm not familiar with that method. I've only used Odin, even when I did have to redo everything I used Odin to stock de-bloated rooted .md5 then CWM'd from there.
So I'm giving it another shot on r50. I made sure to clear dalvik, cache and data. After flashing It gave me the reboot problems again. I installed system tuner to change the cpu back to 1.5. Maybe it's from the overclock but we'll see how it goes. Is everyone leaving it overclocked on 1.9 not having issues?

That may very well be the issue. 1.9ghz is a very aggressive overclock, and i wouldn't be surprised if was unstable on a good number of phones. Synergy's supposed to boot at 1.5ghz max by default - I don't know whether that was successfully implemented. I personally think it's silly to OC such a capable phone, anyway. Back in the days of the Droid 1, an overclock from the stock 550mhz to 800mhz-900mhz was an enormous improvement. Today, the only thing OCing the S3 gets you is a <10% improvement in Quadrant, more heat, possible instability, and no perceptible difference outside of those silly synthetic benchmarks.
Anyway, in this thread, there seems to be a fair bit of confusion as far as what's what in the android partitions. I'll give you a short rundown.
"aboot" is what's referred to here as the bootloader. It checks to see whether the next partition in the boot sequence, "boot", is authorized. When you unlocked your bootloader, you overwrote aboot with a version that does not perform that check.
"boot" contains your kernel. If your ROM has a custom kernel, it contains a boot.img to overwrite boot.
"system" is the meat of the OS. This is primarily what ROMs flash.
"data" contains all of your apps and settings. When you perform a factory reset, you're reformatting data. If you're flashing a ROM that is significantly different from what you're on now, some of those old settings and data can cause errors, force closes, random reboots, and boot loops. When in doubt, wipe data before flashing a new ROM. When going from one version of a ROM to a newer, very similar version of the same ROM (nightly to nightly), you probably don't need to wipe data, but make a backup just in case. dalvik-cache is also in data; if you wipe data, you've automatically wiped the dalvik cache. It's redundant to wipe data and then wipe dalvik cache.
"cache" is just that, the cache partition. Clearing it won't make you loose anything, at least not anything Android won't silently replace.
So far it seems to be pretty stable on r50. I installed system tuner and brought it down to 1.5 Ghz. I'm not sure why 1.9 is set to default. Doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Thanks all for the help/advice.

[Q] I need help.

I'm not a dev, but it's obvious to me something is wrong.
I re-flashed the eaglesblood ICS rom using clockworkmod recovery v.5.8.1.3 (touch version)
everything seemed okay.
until i started putting apps back on my phone with app backup and restore.
I was getting "process syystem has stopped responding" all over the place.
Then the phone crashed.
it keeps booting, only three apps seem to be running that show themselves in the taskbar, Groove IP, GV SMS integration, and Battery Notifier (Big Text)
It sits there, one one of the home screens, LW animating slowly as it will.. then the phone reboots for no reason.
I installed 4 or 5 different logcat apps but i can't make heads or tails of them
and adb logcat > logcat.txt just spits out this :
/sbin/sh: exec: line 1: logcat: not found
dmesg spits out the log i'm attaching.
Can anyone help me? If i can save the log from one of the logcat apps, will that help?
I'd rather not have to reflash and re-install apps AGAIN.
Where you flashing EB 4.0.4 from gingerbread ?
In any case a full wipe and reflash of the ROMs would work fine. Then reflash the appropriate gapps, But when restoring the apps using TB just restore at apps and not their data. They sometimes don't play well.
I had a similar issue when I tried flashing the 4.2 gapps on 4.1.2 keyboard would crash everytime and any app that uses even one of the google services would crash right away.
I cleared dalvic cache did a dirty flash over my existing 4.1.2 , reflashed the 4.1.2 gapps then I fixed permissions and in was good to go.

so a dirty reflash and fix permissions might help?
Funny enough, after posting that, and hitting reboot on CWM recovery.. the phone came up with the cord plugged in, and seems to be stable for now.
Uhm. i was flashing from.... heck if i know, i've tried a bunch of roms.
the phone INITIALLY was 2.3.4
back when i started.. months ago.

grrrrrrrrrr. i'm back at the crashing behavior
I see "equalizer activated " then the phone gets stuck... that same "equalizer activated" thing came up when i added speakerboost... wonder if it's the cause..

*grumble* damn sun-downer phone. SO all night it was crashing.. So i finally got irritated when i went to bed, yanked the battery out and plopped it on my night-stand by my fan.
This morning i put the battery in, turn it on, and it seems stable.
What the heck?!
logs.
So... between all the log apps i've played with i have a bunch of logs.. if anyone could look them over and tell me if they see a problem, i'd appreciate it.
Re-download Rom+Gapps
Place on SD card
Re-nvflash cwm recovery 5.0.2.0
Wipe data/cache/davlk/battstats/format system
Install rom+gapps
Wipe cache/davlk/battstats
Fix permissions
Reboot
Using touch is sometimes buggy, 5.0.2.0 is most stable. Restoring apps/data is sometimes a messes things up.
