For those who are using this new ROM are you having clock issues?
Everything I access the clock it gives me a force close. Any help will do.
Thanks!
Do a full wipe.
I did a full swipe and cleared cache, still having the same issue.
To expand on foxcompany's post. If you don't do a full wipe when installing a custom Rom you will, almost garuanteed, experience issues. These issues include anything and everything from WiFi and GPS issues to random force closes on random applications.
So, if you experience issues; OS, App, or Widget issues and didn't do a full wipe that is the reason 99.9% of the time. If you're a noob (no worries, everyone was or is in some areas) I can post the full-wipe.zip that I use when I switch roms.
Another note... Typically upgrading roms, for example, upgrading from Android Revolution 5.x to 5.1.x you don't need a full wipe unless explicitly stated by the OP.
Long post for a simple question but hopefully it will help you or others with similar issues.

Downloaded FULL-WIPE-1.3.zip from the sticky post, ran it and still have the same issues.
Maybe I downloaded the wrong one? I tried the fullwipe 1.2 and Vision and only 1.3 was successful.
Full wipe 1.3 is the one. If you flashed full wipe and reflashed the rom the issues should have resolved. If not, you'll have to wait for some more ideas cause that's all I got lol.

Try redownloading android revolution, do a full wipe and install. If u are still having problems after that, try downloading and installing a completely different rom. Of course..wipe first. See if the issue persists. If it doesn't persist with a different rom, I would get in contact with android rev developer for further assistance.

I don't know if anyone has specifically stated they are also running Rev 5.1.3...but...
I'm running Revolution 5.1.3 and my clock works fine. Try redownloading the ROM, doing a full wipe, then flashing again. It's possible you got a corrupted file when downloading the ROM - Did you check the md5 of the ROM's .zip after it was on your SD?
I will download the ROM again when I get home and see if it's still there. Funny thing is I ran AR 3.7 and the clock worked file.
Will report back later.
[edit]
Ok so I re-downloaded the ROM and everything is working again. It appears that I installed the wrong no-sense patch which cause the clock to not to work.
Thanks everyone for the help.

I installed the CM7 port and the GApps, but my Google apps don't show up. I've tried reflashing the ROM and the GApps package over and over and clearing all the caches to no avail. Help?
you have to flash GAPPS separately. refer original post of CM7 thread and you will find the link
That's what I did. I flashed the ROM then I flashed the GApps, but they're still not showing up.
Ok that's weird. Can you pinpoint the exact steps you performed from download to copying to erasing to booting up? Each and every step please.
Sure thing.
I downloaded the ROM and the GApps package from the ROM's thread and stored the files on my desktop. While the downloads were going, I booted my phone into recovery and mounted the USB storage. I then plugged the phone into my computer and copied the files over before ejecting the USB device and unplugging the phone. I then wiped the user data, the cache, and the Dalvik cache and flashed the ROM, then, straight after, the GApps. I wiped the user data again just to be safe then rebooted back into the OS.
After it didn't work the first time, I downloaded the GApps again and copied them to my phone again, this time within the OS instead of the recovery. Rebooted, wiped user data, cache, and Dalvik cache, flashed the GApps, and nothing.
Not being sure if it was the ROM or the GApps package, I flashed the MIUI beta then flashed the GApps (using the same sequence of steps mentioned above) and it still didn't work, so it doesn't seem to be specific to CM7.
Ok try these steps:
1. Download the ROM
2. Download GApps from here: http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
3. Wipe the big 3's (user data, cache and dalvik-cache).
4. Flash the ROM.
5. Flash Gapps.
6. Boot without erasing anything.
I followed your instructions exactly but I still have the same problem.
Interestingly, if I go into the list of installed applications in the settings, Market (but no other Google apps) shows up but it's greyed out and I don't have any options to run it or anything.

Crap. Something's really not right. Can you give it a try with the SuperOSR ROM? Need to see if it's specific to the CM build.
EDIT: Can you try searching for the Market .apk file around the forum and install it manually? It should be somewhere in Themes&Apps section. Give that a try before trying with the SuperOSR ROM. Wipe, re-flash ROM, flash Market.apk, reboot.
Reason: the gapps provided by CM team are old (v2 market) and it might be that Google does not support v2 anymore since they've switched to Play Store. (not sure).
I did try with the MIUI ROM and the same thing happened, I don't think it's specific to your ROM build. Perhaps my phone just doesn't like Cyanogen's GApps package? No idea why that would be though.
Anyway, I did as you suggested and installed an APK and it worked! I found this one on Redmond Pie and put in the SD and installed it with the file browser on the phone. Seems to work fine so far

Awesome!
While you're here, a bug I've noticed that's only popped up on your ROM is that, when I turn the phone off, sometimes the orange light stays on and the phone's completely frozen up until I pull the battery. It's only happened twice but I thought it might be something to look into.
Other than that, it's very good! I'm enjoying it, keep up the good work

It's a CWM based problem. Update your CWM recovery to the latest one from the CWM thread in the Dev section and you are good to go.
Way too many CWM's in two sentences..
I'll do that now, cheers
Glad to know you are up and running, but it's still quite strange. Every time I flashed CM7.2 (it it was quite a lot of times GApps were there, Market included. Just running the Market app would actualize it to Play Store automagically.
Of course, as Alex says, it may not be supported by Google anymore, but still you should have gmail, etc from the zip file even without a working Play Store...
The issue was probably related to CWM, if you have an old enough version it could be messing up with the zip internals, but sometimes it's just anything else... (I installed the first CM9 alpha rom w/o problem, the second one wouldn't install, one week later, doing exactly the same with the same zip file, it installed flawlessly)
It may also be related to the specific terminal, I have noticed that depending on the device type (country of release, free or network operator locked, and so on) terminals behave a little bit different in some aspects (e.g. my GPS stopped working after unlocking the bootloader and was only fixed when I reflashed the radio firmware after getting S-OFF; and now, with the CM9 alpha, my keyboard won't get backlight while it's dark outside but adxl's is working fine, which is bad for debugging purposes, of course )
If you could make a backup and install SuperOSR and see if everything works fine the first time (even if you go back to CM afterwards, as I did) it may help to understand the issue better... Or maybe just posting your phone's specific data (model, build, country, etc) may give us a hint.
We know that free UK terminals are somewhat different to Spain free terminals, and those are a bit different from Orange or Yoigo locked terminals... It may be related to hardware batches out fro the factory, who knows?
Enjoy your ChaChaCha!
I think the problem was my CWM in the end. After I upgraded it (that alone included some trial and error, eventually the fastboot method worked) the GApps zips worked fine.
So if anyone else has this problem, check your CWM version and upgrade it if you need to
Can i Upgrade CWM without any change of my current OS ?
i actually couldnt go to Market after i flashed GServices. I downloaded newest Google Play in HTC Chacha apps, installed it and it work until now (of course wit GService flashed before).
Btw, how can i check my current CWM. Thanks!

Hello there!
I've came by to add my issue, similar to yours.
I was on CM7 too and wanted to try the SuperOSR ROM. I used the common steps for flash it (all cache Wiping and factory reseting, ROM installing, Gapps installing), rebooting my phone, connect it with a Google account, launched Gmail and then when I've arrived at a certain level of my mails, the app crash...
For the Google Play app, I've got a server connexion error...
It's like if all the Google's framework was here but totally not stable...
I've tried with an another ROM, the MUI ROM and everything works...
Like I said, I came from the CM7 ROM wich was working...

Hi, I registered in this forum just to say THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was searching for that appropriate GApps for the CM7 I installed previously with the GApps for Ginger Bread (not the same with this link you posted) and it gave me a headache too. I tried flashing for 3x & the Gapps were not working. Then I tried this link and VOILA! Now my smile is from ear to ear.. so SALAMAT! (Tagalog word for THANK YOU). I'm from Philippines anyway. I bookmarked this page for future reference. A million thanks to XDA Developers and it's helpful members & thanks for welcoming me even I'm a noob.. :laugh::laugh:
Updated to v9 today...after receiving a call (did vibrate), I found that all kinds of vibration stopped working, even in recovery mode.
I googled it and find https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/vibration-suddenly-not-working.76462/page-2 that someone else is having the same problem with franco. I am so frustrated as it seems that only full reflash can fix the problem.
Anyone has others solution on it?
ROM: Stock CM 11S
Kernel: franco.Kernel v9
I did change according to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54571945&postcount=271 today. Not sure if it relates to the issue.
PS Don't have the permission to ask in franco thread so I better post it here...
Solved:
My solution is to accidentally drop the phone on the ground and make a scratch on the silver edge. And the vibration is back. It is a hardware problem. But maybe it is triggered by a software issue...

I have has problems with vibrations too, It worked in recovery but not in Cm 11s, I installed Pacman rom and now it works, also works with Franco kernel but use aosp.
Try updating to r10 and see if the problem still occurs.
Sent from my One using Tapatalk
I am on r10 now but still no vibration in any circumstances...I have once restored the vibration after many trials of wipe (in recovery mode) and reflash but when I signed in my google account with "backup & restore" box checked, it lost again. So i think it should be a software problem. Unfortunately I couldn't restore the vibration again as I forgot my actual steps at that time.
I will try flashing asop when I am free. Thanks.

I just tried stock. I used to think to fix the problem I can only wipe everything and do full reflash via fastboot posted in OP. However I just can't format 'userdata' as I mentioned in my other post http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/help-fail-to-wipe-using-fastboot-t2839512.
Again I will try to flash another kernel to see if it works. Thanks.

That's a lot to do to try and fix issue. I would restore my nandroid that was working prior to flashing kernel and flash another kernel for testing.
Solved!!!
My solution is to accidentally drop the phone on the ground and make a scratch on the silver edge. And the vibration is back. I should thank the maid who bumped into me.
So I am wrong it is a hardware problem. But maybe it is becoz the vibration strength was low and somehow break the vibrator.

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?
no audio through headphone jack
i have done a clean flash and install of the new build of slimlp (nospamdan) having issues with audio coming from headphone jack when jack is removed all sound disappears music wise
I flashed cyanogenmod 13 and gapps for marshmallow (from 6.12.2015) and it boots fine. All apps are installed, as before the update.
BUT
When I start any of these apps they seem to be reset to default as if they are newly installed. For example Threema starts setup process after start.
App data is still present on internal storage (did not wipe), but apps do not seem to have access to any of this data.
Can anyone help what I can try to get the apps back to work with previous data?
Thankful for any help!

At first, try flashing CM13 after a full wipe or try using another rom since CM13 could be buggy.

Thanks for the reply! But well, the phone is working, just the apps are behaving as if they are newly installed ... So a full wipe would not really help as is only deletes more data. The question is why do the apps "think" they are not already set up?

What do you want me to say? It's always better to full wipe when upgrading to a new Android version. Period.
Moreover, CM13 nightlies are buggy. There are important bugs and fixes everyday. Make a nandroid backup and try from scratch or try another nightly or another custom rom. There's nothing else to say IMO.
