[Q] Why do I keep getting the android.systemui error? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I literally just factory reset and that's the first thing I see. This started when I used C-ROM. Moved to LiquidSmooth and finally XenonHD. Still getting this mysterious error. Reflashed stock ROM, then flashed XenonHD, and the error comes back. No idea how to fix this.

Ate you doing a clean install? Wiping system, data, cache, and dalvik before flashing the rom

Yes, multiple times. I've been flashing ROM since CM7, but this is something new and frustrating.

try different gapps

Help flashing between ROMs

I have experience flashing, I did it all the time with my captivate. I would ODIN back to stock 2.1 and master clear before switching ROMs. My question is, is there anything llike this method for the NS to avoid instability issues with ROMs or is a cache and data wipe through CWM enough?
Thanks!

Wiping data, Cache and dalvik cache is more than enough when flashing roms . No matter what rom you are using, doing these wipes will ensure a problem free installation with any new rom. I Tried every rom and never had a problem.
Awesome, thanks!

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.

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.

another thing you might try is formatting system in cwm.

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.

wipe cache partition error

hello. i installed android 4.2.2 via odin and i didn't wipe data/cache partition before upgrade. after a while i did a factory reset from settings and after that i wiped data partition from recovery. after that i tried to wipe cache partition also from recovery but an error appeared and the phone restarted.
So my question is: why when i try to wipe cache partition from recovery i have that error? if i use any aplication to wipe cache when the phone is booted to android there is no problem. also the cache can be cleared with no problem from settings/storage. The error came up only from recovery.
Thanks.
You are using stock recovery?
I tried wiping cache. But I didn't notice error. And yes it also rebooted itself, which I didn't ask it to. But my cache was cleared

Yes,i am using stock recovery. Well i did not try to wipe cache on 4.1.2, just on 4.2.2, so i do not know if on 4.1.2 is doing the same. Do you have 4.1.2 or 4.2.2? I also read that s4 users have the same error while wiping cache partition after updating their android. Could another flash solve the problem?

actually if it does the work, it doesn't really matter if it reboots itself after wiping cache, after all you only need it to wipe your cache, so if it does the job, then why let the problem bother you

agree with you, but how do i know if the cache is cleared if i have that error?
Go to settings. Storage.
There should be a column saying:
Cached data.
If it's a lot, then it's not cleaned

[Q] Trying to instal CM 11 on my Infuse

Hi,
I had CM 10.1 by scott, now I'm trying to install CM 11, can I do it directly from CM 10.1?
I tried to do that, and instalation aborted by error 7, now my phone is not starting anymore, it only goes to recovery mode..
Help please!
01:12am
I noticed I was then on CWM 6.0.5.0 suddenly..
I wiped data, wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache, mounted system anda data. Tried to install again and it worked!
It's not working as I expected. Battery life is like half the time it was before on CM 10.1. Anyone having the same issue?

CarbonROM supposedly is...

Tried it out for a short while. Except for a FC on the setup wizard (first wipe), looks pretty solid.

Thanks! Just flashed it!

A new CM11 ROM is also out.
Good practice is to do a full factory reset, wipe dalvik, format system, format sdcard0 (some even advocate formatting it twice). Then load your zip, then gapps. Then wipe cache and dalvik (again).
I usually load BaNkS minimal gapps. Very thin, and I let the playstore take care of the rest.

Android is upgrading after clean install twrp? Lollipop ROM

Hello,
I have a quick question. For some reason after I installed any lollipop ROM on my g3 on the 1st boot it sais android is upgrading like it would if you wiped the dalvik / art cache. Also for some reason some apps from the previous rom are still installed. My g3 has twrp 2.8.5.1 install. I figured to post this under the general questions and answer section to see if anyone has ever has had this happen. Does any one know why this happens or how to make it not.
Thanks

wipe /system /data /cache /dalvik before flashing your new rom. "Android is upgrading" means dalvik cache is created on first boot.
its perfectly normal to happen like this!!
Its perfectly normal the OS is pre-compiling to make the most out of ART, this would happen allot when you have ART enabled and clear Dalvik Cache.
That makes since. Guess I still have to trying re installing cm 12 with out wiping the cache to dalvik and see what happens

No just do the normal wipe. Don't select the areas to wipe. Just factory reset it and it should clear just the cache.
On start up it will still do the "updating android" thing. Make sure your phones battery life is high and its not plugged in the charger. It will get really hot.
