love this rom, best Ive run since the days of the Sidekick. Couple of questions,
1) icons not turning blue when connected (wifi,tmo,batt), is that normal or a permission set maybe?
2) this had hardware similar to Sidekick, would the Blaxe 4g modem help or hinder the modem in this rom?
3) Im getting a "clock has stopped" notice constantly, I disable in apps but it reappears now n again.
4) Boot animations, are they possible to replace and how. I have a Simpsons one ,in System/Media,as bootanimation.zip but the only thing that happened was it went to "android" word logo (default?). so now the 4.4.4 bootani is gone but boots logo, 4 different zips,same result.

My phone worked perfectly for a few days with ADP1.5H r3 on it, but now it refuses to boot, it seems to be looping forever. The blue android logo comes up, but the "shining" animation stops moving after usually 1-2 seconds, then the screen flashes back and the same thing repeats over and over again. I have already tried a wipe earlier, but now I'm having the same problem again. Any clues on what causes this or (better) how to fix this?

Are you doing Apps to SD? It could be your card.
Did you move any caches?
Do you have any nandroid backups? (just fastboot flash if so)
Did you recently try to update to anything and fail?
Try to use the update.zip again. If that doesn't work then start over from scrap.

Wipe worked for me. It was sticking on the Android flash screen, but worked after the wipe.
Yeah, a wipe fixes it. Later today I stumbled upon a thread which suggested the problem is the "Contact Owner" app that doesn't play nice. Can anyone confirm that?
In answer to binary: yeah I do apps on SD but I've been doing that since ADP1.1, so I doubt the card is the problem. Didn't move any caches. Yeah I have a nandroid backup, and all the updates I did went smoothly. I had the whole system working for about 2 days until this happened (probably, because this was the first time I rebooted since installing Contact Owner, though I can't really remember that 100%)

Contact Owner caused my phone to go into a reboot loop, but that was on the 5.02H build. I haven't had the guts to try it on JF1.5 or 1.5Hr3. If you look through the market comments for Contact Owner you'll see quite a few complaints of the same issue.
Hi there,
And sorry for reviving this old thread. I am the developer of Contact Owner an I kinda need your help in debugging this issue. I got a small number of messages from users of custom builds a while ago (about a month or two) but thought it was an issue with those builds.
Now it came back to bite me in the ass, as it seems the HTC builds in various countries (Canada, Sweden, South Africa) have the same issue: the phone goes into a reboot loop. I've tried (and failed) to install a custom build on my dev phone (almost bricked it) so I'm going to ask nicely if someone is willing to debug the issue for me. Please, please, please!
All that's needed is to install and run Contact Owner and if the device goes into a reboot loop, simply attach it to USB, run 'adb logcat' and then post the output. To recover from the reboot loop, simply start in 'safe mode' (hold Menu down while booting) and then uninstall Contact Owner.
I suspect the problem lies in SQLite, because I've seen similar complaints from Klaxon users and that app also sets the alarm message (which then ends up in a SQLite db, I guess). The Alarm Clock app that comes with Android also does that but I imagine it's because the message set by Alarm Clock is always short and has no newlines. I also don't think the issue is in Dalvik code, because the device should not crash if managed code causes an error.
TIA,
Paranoid Android.
I installed this on my HTC Vivid and have had no issues with that process. The one issue I do have though is when I return to my home screen from an app. It seems that the launcher or some other running part of the phone reboots when I do this and it displays the HTC logo. It doesn't take long for the logo to go away, and after it does it displays a loading window for a few seconds. After this everything goes back to working normal.
This happens every time without fail and while it doesn't seem to be causing many problems, it is quite annoying.
Does anyone know how to stop this?
Edit
Ok so I apparently missed the step where I was supposed to flash the boot.img before installing the ROM. I only did it afterwards. No problems now.
Hello, I am attempting to do something that I didn't think would be that hard and it has ran me into so many problems.
I have the Samsung Galaxy s4 Active. So I now have gained root acess, but I found out I cannot change the boot animation that easily for samsung phones because they use a different something. So I go through the trouble of downloading a ton of crap and making a animation compatible with my phone, set it up, and email it to my device copy paste to system/media and ovverrite existing. Rebooted, Said samsung then custom under it with a unlocked lock. Rebooting ever since does nothing so I gave up with that and decided to look into a mod allowing using basic bootanimation.zip like all other phones, But for Samsung active can't use Clockwork mod or whatever so I gotta get something else called Flash Gordon. When I go to download it on my phone, I get an error. First it says "Connecting to Dl.xda.developers and then it'll say Sorry, this player does not support this type of audio file and I'm at a loss because now my phone will not lock or time out the screen. When I hit the lock button it won't lock. It works fine becuase if I hold it it pulls up turn off and crap. I just made sure in settings that screen timeout is set at 15 sec and it won't timeout already tried reboot for fixing that and it didn't help. I feel like giving up right now..
So hey folks,
This is the most strange issue i've experienced with my OPO so far.. Already had many random reboots since i manually flashed 38R, but this night Bacon screwed things up.
I woke up, seeing my OPO in a boot loop, it was super hot aswell and has drained the whole battery. So i connected my charger, did a reboot.
'Android is upgrading. Optimizing apps.' - OK so far, but only a total of 106 apps (With my last runtime change to ART, it showed 188 apps..). W/e.
Now it comes. Phone boots up - language defaulted. Whole settings reverted to stock. Apps are still there, but data is lost. :crying: Media on phone is untouched.
Suddenly i see these super strange buttons - they are NOT in their usual CM11S-Design!! And i did not change any visual stuff. [Attached Screenshot of notification screen]
Top right button to switch to quick actions does not work anymore, no reaction.
Home button completely not working aswell.
Also if i shut down and charge, the charging animation is completely different and colored instead oft OPO's normal one.
Restart menu back one low-level functionality aswell..only restart and shutdown possible [Attached Screen]
It's like my phone reverted itself to half generic android.
Guys, what the Heck happened?!
I mean, i will prolly just hard reset and reflash my phone later this day, but really.. WTH is this?? Any similar experiences so far? Or any Problem solutions?
Thanks for your time and replies..
Wasnt able to post in OPO Forums so far (server error >.>) but will update this thread if i get more info.
Attached screen shows that Rom status seems normal..
hi all,
i stupidly decided to root my moto g - i say 'stupidly' bc i clearly didn't have the knowledge to have that much power... it was working fine for several weeks & then it started having issues booting & charging if i accidentally let the battery get too low. that happened a couple times & i was able to get it working again by charging it in different ways (wall, computer) & letting it alone for a day or so. but then the other day i turned it on & i got the 'Unfortunately System UI has stopped working' & gave me the option to click 'I'm feeling lucky.' once pressed the phone would boot up (though it took much longer than usual) & when it finally did, i'd get various messages such as 'exchange services has stopped,' motorola notifications has stopped,' 'System UI has stopped' - basically everything has stopped & they just kept popping up & then the phone would freeze. before the phone would freeze, in between messages, i could still get into my apps & other parts of my phone, but it would always eventually freeze after a few minutes (or less). i tried various troubleshooting techniques (reboot in recovery, factory reset, etc) which eventually led to doing a hard factory reset. unfortunately, i believe at some point before all the problems started i must have deleted some system things i shouldn't have, including the stock launcher (i was using Buzz Launcher) so now it's returned to factory but missing some vital components.
here's the current state of my phone: it will boot up (though it takes much longer than usual) but as soon as it does i get the message 'unfortunately, system UI has stopped,' 'exchange services has stopped,' 'motorola notification has stopped,' & 'System UI has stopped' again. when i click on 'ok' for that last message, i get the flash of a weird red window & then just a black screen that shows the (correct) time, battery level & phone signal in the upper right corner but it's frozen. before it freezes completely, the only thing i can get into/click anyway is the status bar at the top but the window doesn't even drop down. so the phone is basically booted up but useless.
i've done tons of research & looked into using a toolkit or flashing android/moto stock but i'm using a Chromebook & nothing is compatible with it that i've found so far. & i'm not even sure how to get into the phone via a Chromebook, if it's possible.
PLEASE HELP!! i'm getting desperate. can't afford to buy a new phone right now & i really need this thing to work again.
SHORT STORY: Moto G, System UI has stopped, missing some vital stock stuff, phone boots up, no launcher, Chromebook, last system i was using was Lollipop
does anyone have any idea...? also, keep in mind i'm clearly not as knowledgeable about this stuff as most of you or i never would've gotten myself into this situation. so keep your responses as if responding to Android/Moto G for Dummies. ;-P Thanks!!
Flash a custom ROM via custom recovery
Check out CM11/12. I have the boost 3g version with Blisspop (CM12) and it works great.
Also, if you created a backup before you went root you might try restoring it instead of factory reset.
Make a wipe, or reflash the rom
Chromebook
thanks for the replies guys but my issue is trying to do any of the above from a CHROMEBOOK. in order to flash a ROM though, I need to install the Motorola android device driver & I've yet to find one that's compatible with Chromebook - I'm not sure there is one... anyone have any experience in flashing ROM or any other Moto G fixes from a CHROMEBOOK? thanks.
Can u still access your recovery?
