question for the "doc" lol, saw where everyone was talking about the "not working" apps in the dev thread, can we not go in and remove the apps ourselves? I just went in and removed TiBu with root explorer and re-installed the version i purchased then went in and removed all the apps that don't work or not gonna use, or was that not something I should have not did?

It's probably fine.
After you reinstalled TiBu were you able to update? I know there were a few people that were having issues with the TiBu not updating.
I once heard though, that it's better to freeze unwanted apps rather than uninstalling. Something to do with OTA updates looking for the bloatware in order to validate that your system is not hacked/rooted. Anyway, it's probably not a big deal, just ever since I read that I always just freeze rather than uninstall. Unless its an app I put on there and or I know that it's not something AT&T put on there. But myself, I would apply that same theory to any of the things included with the ROM, anything I don't want I'll freeze rather than uninstall.
Let us know if that worked for the updating of TiBu.

I will look into seeing if I can find some direct links for themes, but until then here is the Original Doctorz thread see if anybody has the answer there,
just make sure you clarify that you are an INFUSE user, since that thread is for the Galaxy S version. If you find something come let us know. Thanks.

i could not update the TiBu that came with the rom but once I removed it and re-installed from market then the key no problems.. i did not know that about freezing the apps Ill remember that from the future, i just uninstalled the add on apps anyways I.E. ext4, reboot etc... so hope I will be good to go, if not gotten really good at odin and reflashing lol. Need to learn to just leave stuff alone and quit messing with things lol!! thanks for all you all's help and hope the development doesn't stop for the infuse.

Is yhe infuse not able to use the status bar settings?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

I installed the rom, and have used it for a little over a day now.. I love the theme, and its def snappy, but has a few problems me and a friend found. We've both put the rom on our Infuses.
For a few flashes, my home button wouldn't work, but I think that was narrowed to backing up system data.. it now works for me though. On the first flash try, all calls being made TO my phone just got a busy signal, but I could call out.. My friend's phone calls only works when calling out. When he receives a call, itll end the call about 5 seconds into it.
He cannot turn his phone on while its plugged into the charger.. it wont do anything when he holds the power button. I cannot get root explorer to work, no matter what. I've reinstalled it, fixed permissions, still nothing. I now use another app to access it. When ever I get a new email and notification, my phone will freeze and reboot. I've had quite a few random reboots today as well, with my friend having only a few. It even rebooted while in the middle of a phone call.
I've tried a few different kernels, but not sure if i know when it installs correctly other than the phone boots up... I know the voodo kernel hasnt worked at all... itll sit on the samsung screen for at least 30 mins a few different tries.

I found that the status bar settings has not changed anything that I could see, others have confirmed this. If it doors change anything I think its limited to the lockscreen if any changes are being made at all.

Sounds like you have a bad flash. I'd start over, make sure you do your proper wiping. And read over the Dev section there are a lot of additional steps spread throughout. I will try to compile them into one post when I get some free time. Good luck.

I've redownloaded the flash to my computer twice, recopied it to my phone twice, started with a complete fresh rom using odin that was already rooted and CWM installed, and wiped all data possible. I've followed all the steps, done reboots in between sometimes just to try something different.. I've reflashed my rom at least 6 times in the past two days maybe trying different things .

has anyone had bad battery drain with this? last night i charged 100% before went to bed, had JD running on aggressive mode, wifi anf BT disabled as well as setcpu no OC and profile for 400/100 when screen off.... got up this morning 6 hours and was at 38%, ive been running the rom for days now so i think its had time to bake but not sure what else to do? any suggestions.

Thats odd with the battery drain...mine has been doing great....so your saying it didnt fully charge? or it was full, u unpkugged went to bed woke up and it drained that much? that doesnt make sense...no rom should do that....check your runnibg services and tell me what all is constantly running

i thought something may have got messed up so i just odin back to stock before i read this sorry dman, if someone say "me" was going to start back from scratch..... just odin, root, flash community kernal to get CWM then flash rom? should just leave kernal and modem alone? i know everyone has there own personal preference but as i talked to experiment just need to leave stuff alone lol. in other words with this rom what would "you" set up with i.e. kernal, modem, tweaks/ no tweaks, etc.... thanks for the feedback

Q- Can we remove the extra sounds when plugging in, powering on or off?
I know it sounds petty but I have my phone w/me at work and every time I plug it in to charge it plays that "Charging enabled" voice over. Can this be shut off? I SO SO SO love this Rom so far!! I have flashed quite a few and this one is my favorite so far!
TIA for any ideas.

No it cant be shut off...part of the doctors programming...you can tirn the volume down

Cannot Connect to AT&T Network (Neither Voice Nor Data)

For some reason I cannot connect to AT&T's network for voice/data. I had been running MIUI for about 3 months and all was good. I came back from a trip Thursday and the phone wouldn't find a network after turning off airplane mode, but rebooting seemed to fix it. However, today I cannot get it to connect at all.
I have tried:
Wiping cache/davlik cache
Fixing permissions
Tried searching for a network operator through settings->mobile network->network operators, got nothing
Wiping user data and switching to ZEUS Build 6
Tried searching for a network operator again
Went back to 100% stock with GTG's Ultimate Unbrick
Still nothing for network operator under "Available networks" (Default setup is greyed out)
I'm going to guess either my SIM or 3G chip burned out? I was using the phone heavily the past few days with a ton of GPS stuff to get around Atlanta and it did get pretty hot on the car dash. I'll try taking it to an AT&T store tomorrow (ugh) but am open to any suggestions before I do so .

There are a few options I would consider:
1. Go to the apn and set up a new apn and save it. Select it and then reboot. There are a few floating around. Check my how to thread in the q/a. I posted one there. Make sure you create one and then save it.
2. Try flashing a different modem.
3. Take out the external micro sd. Back up your stuff from the internal sdcard. Factory reset from in the ROM. Warning: a factory reset from within the ROM will erase EVERYTHING, including pictures. Make sure you save everything first. Reboot. And if that doesn't work, odin with a re partition pit file or use one of the heimdall 1-click and then do a reset again.
4. Possibly remove the Sim and clean it. I've heard the Sim socket is very fragile and breaks easily. Use caution. You can always have the att guys do it and let them break it.

he said he did try flashing another rom and odining back to stock. if that doesnt work, nothing will. hopefully you still have a warranty.

Already restored to stock (and again from within the stock rom)... Forgot about my pictures :crying:
Tried I997UCKL2 and I997UCLB3 modems, with and without custom APNs.
Tried cleaning the SIM
Funnily enough I do get service bars (4/5) after the phone has been on for about a minute, but no HSPA+ icon and still can't make calls/MMS/internet (calls are about 5s of silence followed by an abbreviated dialing tone, then "Call Ended"). Yup, I think it's borked... Guess it's time for an S3! Thanks for the help though.

Haha yep... I just dug out my old old phone (LG CU500 iirc). Found the charger and made a call. Seriously old school but at least I'm sort of connected until I can get my Infuse sorted!

Sorry to hear about your pictures. I tried to warn you.
The last thing i can think of is to leave your battery out overnight. And then put it back tomorrow.
It sounds like it's hardware related though.
(Different ROM like miui and zeus have their own custom build.prop ril settings and apn. These potentially can mess with your phone connection if the partition messes up.
I wanted to make sure it was not a partition screw up. A double flash in heimdall uckj4 or uclb3 with boot loader checked or one of the Odin un-brick using a pit file would have clear this. Sounded like you did this already. Another user have reported clearing their efs in odin. I would only try this if you have backed up your efs position, either in root explorer or zen tool kit.)
Again, sounds like hw...

Well when I transferred my sim to my old dumb phone I left my Infuse off (about 3 hours). I just tried it again for kicks and miraculously it works perfectly now! Now I get to reinstall everything again (yay...), but I'm wondering if my sim slot is on its way out or something... Not sure why it would suddenly start working again.
Oh well, time to try out Zeus (MIUI was a little too buggy for me).
Thanks again all... hopefully it doesn't die on me again!

Good to hear.
If it starts to act wonky again, try a different battery. It is possible the heat you described may have damage the lithium cell. Idk..
Ebay has them for about $4 free shipping. Look for a usa shipper...2-4 days

For some reason this happens to me sometimes. I'm unsure myself. What I do to fix it is turn data on and off and then reboot. I do that a few times and then it starts working.

So after three different roms, several factory wipes, and all sorts of voodoo magic, it was a bad sim card.
Shame... I kinda wanted an S3 .

Need help with gps on Verizon Galaxy S3

Hey Everyone,
Hopefully you have time and can answer this for me. About a month ago I downloaded the very first alpha rom of CM10 for the S3. Installation went fine and all but GPS was totally screwed up. Well a few roms later and updates to Google Maps its still not locking on to my position, even with WiFi on like someone suggested but wasn't needed before I began flashing so many roms lol. I've been using GPS toolbox and GPS status to get locks but it doesn't hold. It will stay locked then lose it a minute later where as when I didn't mess with roms and was on stock it would be fine and be able to see my phone from anywhere. Right now I'm looking at it as I type and it says GPS on in green on one of the apps and 8 in view and 7 in use but its still blinking constantly and the accuracy is at 500 feet sometimes more which is totally unacceptable. Used to be within 40 ft or less than that before something totally screwed with my GPS. I'm really desperate now Max because I use my GPS to get around town as I have a horrible memory but don't want to take it back to Verizon to get a new one and shell out more money. I've tried a lot of steps up to and including going back to complete stock on the phone to know avail, its still screwed. I've cleared the A-GPS cache and re downloaded it from these apps but its still not 100% perfect where I need it. Would you happen to know what to do to get this thing in working order so I can use it again and not have it lose lock while I'm on the road like its been doing? Maybe if you have an unaltered gps.conf file you could copy the stuff in that file for me and paste it on an email so I can recreate my own and see if it helps. Its under the system/etc/gps.conf if you need to know where it is. I really need help and you guys are the only people that actually knows these phones inside and out that could possibly help me on this. Like I've said, I've tried everything I can think of, using GPS tools on the market, going back to stock, jumping from 3 different roms and even deleting the Google maps and re downloading it and nothing helps, but hopefully you can. Thank you for taking the time to read this long email as I tried to give as much detail to my problem as needed to help you help me.

I have had this problem flashing to. I have found that going back stock fixes the problem. Also do you do data wipes and cache wipes too.

I've already tried going back to stock, and yes I do complete full wipes when going from ROM to ROM. Hence why I am so confused on what to do with my problem.

It never really locked on, it would find a bunch of satellites, then drop them, then find them.......never does completely lock on, even with wifi on. Ive tried everything I can think of too, and even downloaded some other gps fixing tools on the market with no help.

My GPS is fried
I have done alot of troubleshooting and I believe I screwed up my phone. I went from Synergy to CM10 and then to cleanrom. While on cleanrom I noticed my GPS wouldnt lock. So I flashed Synergy (Fully Wiping Of Course) and still no GPS. So I odined to stock and relocked bootloader. Still no luck. I ran GPS fix GPS Status GPS AIDS and GPS test and I am still screwed. My GPS still wont lock. It always says searching for GPS. I left the Navi on last night all night with a destination set hoping it would lock and say the magical words I want to here like "turn left" but instead I woke up to searching... been wiping data and cache 3 times daily tryna get this fixed.

I had gps issues no matter what rom or type of wipe i did. I notice it started after the synergy release where the gps settings were modified and no matter what it never worked again.I reverted the phone completely back to stock and the same thing. I called Verizon and they sent me a new phone, no issues anymore.

No but after I flashed the factory kernel, radio, and rom I went into the recovery and did a wipe/data factory reset. That erased everything I had on the internal sd and set it back to stock. Still didn't work after that.

I know it wasn't directed towards me but I tried that number in the dialer and it did a different kind of factory reset than I've done myself, but the gps on my SGSIII is still screwed up. I've been sitting here for 10 mins waiting for it to find me and still nothing. I really don't want to have to send it back for another one, is there any other numbers I can do on the dialer to do something else? On Google Maps the icon to where Im supposed to be is grey and blinking so I don't think it sees the phone. I do rely on my gps for a lot so its bad that this isn't responding at all.

I didn't have to send it in and wait. I called them wednesday, it got here today (with their free shipping). Then you get 5 days to send in the original phone, they include a postage label and everything. No down time at all. Just make sure you completely set it back to stock before you send it.

Yeah its already back to stock, it seems faster after that reprovisioning but just wish the gps would work. Ill take it in my local Verzion store on monday to see what I can do about this. I just hope I don't get a SGSIII replacement that's already been tinkered with by someone else lol. I think my days of tinkering with phones myself are over since I don't want to go through this again

I also have the gps issues however I didnt restore back to stock.. anyway I bought my phone not directly from verizon I paid almost full retail price would they still take it for replacement or I have to go to samsung?

Samsung. And good luck with that. They are the worst. I had to get my nexus fixed and I sent it in 3 times for repair. They kept saying they fixed it and never did. after the third time i started screaming at them and they sent me a new one. hehehehe

I have the same problem. I was running Synergy at the time I noticed it. It's really difficult to get Maps to lock, and seems to only work after GPS Test or GPS Status first get a lock (which each take up to 30 seconds typically).
I went COMPLETE stock to try fix it; total wipe, locked bootloader, no root, pure vanilla. Still couldn't get lock with Maps.
I'm trying a custom gps config file now to see if that helps.
Really wish someone would figure out what caused this and how to fix/revert it.

The original galaxy s had the worst GPS ever (or later version would initially work but get worse over time), but a dev (jt1334) for the samsung fascinate fixed it after 8 months by changing something in the kernel.
Hopefully some devs familiar with his work could look at what he did and see if there is something similar that could be done on the gs3

[Q] WiFi not working on T959V after ICS update

First of all I would like to say I appreciate all the work that the XDA forums has been doing, and I am pleased to see that the community is as strong, if not, stronger since the last time that I have been here a couple years ago. The questions, answers, feedback and help, let alone for the Samsung Galaxy S 4G released by T-Mobile in February of 2011, is amazing. These forums have really helped people make the most out of their device, and had it not exist, this Galaxy S in my hand would have been long forgotten by Samsung, and the Gingerbread stock ROM that I was given with would be my home. It reminded me of how much I had missed messing with these android devices; nothing like jailbreaking and installing cydia on my iPhone. The experience is not the same. Anyways...
Pulling out my T959V from its box I decided it was time to finally install ICS on it after Samsung have let these great device fade away.
I installed ICS last night and stayed up searching for kernels and testing out different ROMS some slow and many faster than others and decided that Cyanogen 9 was the best looking and performance-wise ROM on the phone in my opinion. Considering that all other ROMS base it on the nightly builds extra stuff was just junk, considering this phone only has one processor. So I upgraded from Gingerbread 2.3.6 and I've tried many different kernels and everything works except WiFi. It can not even search for one network no matter how many times I press "Scan". I'd appreciate all the help I can get.
Thanks

Try rebooting into recovery and running fix permissions. Usually fixes wifi right up.

I'd check the MD5 of the CM9 DL and make sure it's a match. I haven't heard of anyone else having that issue. Also make sure you DL the latest CM9. If the MD5 matches format system, wipe cache/dalvik and flash again. Reboot an let it sit for five minutes then try wifi.

Yeah I've checked the MD5 sums of the zip packages after download. This is so bizarre, and the CM9 is not the only ROM I've tried. I've tried about 4 or 5 of them and different kernels as well and all of them do not connect to WiFi. I have formatted system, and always wiped any trace of the prior ROM before installing. Plus, I have tried the method where I would boot to recovery and "fix permissions". No good.

I would use a heimdall one click go back to stock kj6 then flash up to cm9. Sounds like you have some bugs that will only get squashed by going back to stock. IMO I would flash bootloaders too. Just so it overwrites EVERYTHING.

I just used the Stock KJ6 + Root with the Blastoff v2 kernel integrated, flashed, flashed again and installed boot-loaders as well. Phone restarted, went to WiFi, checked it, and it says "Error". Now I'm going to flash it to true stock using Odin rather than the .jar executable no luck so far and I don't know whats going on.

Sounding more and more like a hardware issue. Wifi and bluetooth are on the same chip so if your still on stock try and turn on BT. If it turns on it might not be the chip. If it gives the same error I'd bet money on a bad chip.

This would be a good time for logcat and dmesg...

Bluetooth works fine, WiFi just wont turn on. Its not a hardware issue, and WiFi was working the same day before I flashed to ICS

Done use stock + blastoff that is a stepping stone one click for people to go back to stock then either flash another gb rom or ics rom. Wifi is broken because of the new wifi module used. I never meant for it to be used as a daily driver. Use the heimdall one click bhundven has posted in his one click thread.

@mkho30
I had the same exact Wi-Fi issue a few months ago. I tried everything you tried and what members are suggesting in this thread.
I also asked about this issue on irc (Team Acid) and was told by Bryan that ICS (if I remember correctly) doesn't support WPS button connection. I assumed it was "on my end" and not ROM related.
Bryan suggested that I reboot my router. I had done that several times before asking. I didn't even know you could log in to your router to reconfigure it so he suggested that I Google to learn.
Long story short. I googled and read allot. I reconfigured my router many different ways. I disabled my WPS button connection and reset my router many times. I changed the security every way possible. I even set up a guest network.. the ONLY way I was able to connect to my Wi-Fi network was if I disabled the security COMPLETELY.
That wasn't an option for me. I live in an apartment building and I have seen people in the halls with laptops using their neighbors Wi-Fi.
I tried everything for a couple of months and finally went back to Gingerbread last weekend.
Sorry I can't be of any help with this reply. I just wanted to share my experience and let you know that you aren't the only one that has this issue...man I miss ICS. I didn't have an issue with the battery after "I settled in" Hopefully we can find out what is going on with us.
Btw. I'm back on Gingerbread and I connect to Wi-Fi with no problems.

WPA2 encryption should work fine. It works fine with my router configuration

I tried that several times FB. During my searching I came across a thread (one of those answers sites) that gave your answer as a fix.
I REALLY did my do diligence in trying to get connected. I hadn't seen anyone else with this problem until today so I spent hours trying WPA2 and other configurations. I thought WPA2 would fix it for sure because that was what I had read so I kept trying it. It never worked for me. The only thing that did was having no encryption at all..I started to think that it was a "Black Ice Voodoo thing" lol. Remember how some users, no matter what they did, could never flash Black Ice Voodoo?
Btw the error I always got was an Authentication error.
Thanks for replying

If you're up for it and your router is supported, try OpenWRT. It really sounds like a router issue.
Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development

Sorry. I don't use a pc at work. I have to sneak on xda using my phone and they don't like seeing is on our phones for to long.
I forgot to mention in my reply to the OP that I DIDN'T have a problem scanning for Wi-Fi access. I could do that. I just couldn't connect without getting an Authentication Error. My phone would scan, connect, then discontent and give me the error.

I've had the exact same authentication error, scans,asks for password, tries to connect, then errors out, usually always after flashing CM9 and either a reinstall (recopying to my SDcard too) or a fix permissions have fixed it.
ALSO, this is very important. FORGET the connections in your wifi list after doing the fix permissions. IT WILL NOT connect to a saved connection. Reboot to recovery, fix permissions (don't use a tool within android), goto wifi, click on the connection and choose forget, then choose the connection again and try that.

Thanks Jeff. I'll try it when I get home. I have a Motorola Surfboard that is less than a year old (It's a modem/router combo) so the unit is "up to date"

I will try this. I have done much of what you have stated here maybe even all of it before. But not in the order you describe.. I'd really like to go back to ICS. I had 4G on it (home) where I used to get 3G on Gingerbread. Also at home I needed Wi-Fi calling on Gingerbread but on ICS I had great reception.
@jeff. I just googled OpenWRT and I should have before I said I'll try it when I get home lol. OpenWRT might be to much for me right now.
Thank you for all your help people. I'll update you as soon as I can. I must go sailing now. It's Red Flag!

I dropped my s3 in some water and quickly grabbed it, and dried it off. Everything seemed to be working ok, but then i noticed that it's acting like i don't have my sd card in it when i do. My wifes card gets recognized right away when i put it in, so i think my sd card is no good. Any suggestions on how i can recover data from it?? Thanx

So your SD card doesn't read but hers does? And yeah then just get a new SD card go on a computer take your files off of it and put em back on the new SD card

Hi,
New to the S3 and this rom. Root, flash went well, and so far, I'm loving this rom. One problem that is stumping me is this:
Using ADW launcher, have a direct dial short cut to voice mail. The voice mail contact is set up to dial *86 ,,xxxx, so with one tap, I can call vm and access messages.
However, the keyboard then becomes non responsive. I can't delete or save messages, and if I have multiple messages, can't get to the next one.
Any suggestions on how to work around this appreciated.
I'm running the 3.2 beta version of LS, and really only have this, and one other minor issue.
Thank you.
Still haven't solved this, but here's more clarification:
Phone is running LiquidSmooth 4.2.1m v2.1m beta 3.2
1. Using a 'direct dial shortcut. the rom dialer has a contact set up named voicemail, that is programmed: *86;,,XXXX. When I hit the direct dial shortcut, voicemail is dialed, xxxx is sent, and I can hear my first voicemail. The problem is the dialpad is non responsive. So, I can't save or delete the first voicemail, nor can I proceed to listen to the next one.
If I dial *86, and enter the password manually, then the dial pad works.
Even if I dial any contact withGoDialer, then, open keyboard to dial and extension, I get the stock dialer.
I drive a lot, and need as few distractions as possible. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Have u tried using a different launcher just to be sure its not hardware/ROM related it might be the launcher?

--------------If you like puzzle, tackle this---------------
I tried pretty much everything on the internet before posting here.
My stock/no root phone started bootlooping. So I used Odin and root66.tar to get it back. Everything seemed to be good. After I got 3 updates:1) 30mb, 2) 60mb and 3) JB updated OTA. After 60Mb update my phone said Samsung and shows unlocked lock. After JB update my phone bootloops again.
I though it it was a bad update and reflashed stock no root 4.0.4 and OTA did the same thing.
I tried the gs3 tool to flash the recovery and it always fails.
I would appreciate any help.... I have been dealing with this non sense for the past 24h.

Yes. I've been using ADW launcher, tried it with Nova, got the exact same result.

Alright, I'll try here. So, I'm on cleanrom 5.6. As far as I can tell everything is working, and there aren't any actual problems, but the phone doesn't know what the network is in settings and and when I drag down the notification bar it doesn't say it at the bottom. Anyone have an idea?

does your cellular service connect? Also you are on verizon right? and did you do a dirty flash of cleanrom 5.6?

Yeah, my cell service connects and I can text and call. It just doesn't seem to have any idea that my carrier is verizon and it kinda seems odd.

I am trying to install the stock systemui.apk file on my phone after I screwed up and flashed the wrong one, but installation always fails. I have moved the .apk to the /system/app folder and have changed the permission of the .apk but the file still won't install. What can I do?

carrier
Since you carrier wont load I believe following this tutorial with help fix your problem but check the conditions. Im not allowed to post links apparently so I attached it. I'll also flash cleanrom 5.6 and find out if its a software thing and get back to you. But it seems to me like its a MEID issue. So check the conditions in the link and if they are true I'd go that way. If not re-flash, clean install would be my suggestion. Yeah I run Cynagenmod 10.1 and it even knows I'm on Verizon. And Scott's roms always have the carrier.

computer doesn't see the card at all..

I can't recall when I last had it working but my NFC completely stopped working. I have tried reverting back to absolute stock rooted nandroid. That didn't work so I Odin booted back to the original unrooted firmware. Still same problem. If I try to uncheck NFC from the more options it moves over and is immediately flipped back. I have gone into a Verizon wireless store to seek help but the guy made a sarcastic remark that his iPhone wouldn't have that problem...but I also as a few other notes I have tried hells ROM and also flashing the NFC file with the ROM which also didn't work and have tried the few NFC Google wallet fixes I have seen, also sadly no luck. I'm stubborn and don't want to give up if anyone knows if there is a possible fix, hope you can possibly help!

replacement?
I think you may have a faulty chip. Also is your battery NFC capable? But to be honest Verizon will replace it for free if your under the 1 year warranty and don't have water damage or anything like that. Because if it doesn't work on the stock rom it's most likely a hardware problem in this case. So I would contact your carrier about that.

I have the stock battery and when I did call Verizon the first time they wanted me to contact Samsung first then get back to them so I figured i'd bring it here. It had worked before so I was wondering if maybe it fried somehow? Phone has never been dropped, no water damage, watch because I said that i'll drop it in 5 minutes and shatter my screen I guess I'll just try Samsung tomorrow and see what they have to say.

nfc
Actually I just thought of something else to try. Have you gone in and force quit nfc and cleared the app data? That may resolve the problem. Nfc will be under all apps and it is named nfc service.

Good idea, just tried it and it didn't do anything. Also tried that, rebooted recovery, wiped dalvick and cache fixed permissions then tried again with no luck. =/

nfc
Are you using a non stock kernel? Also when you went back to stock did you erase everything on the phone?
