Since you seem to be rooted just remove the app you flashed. Go into system/app and/or data/app and remove it and reboot

Unfortunately, Android keyboard has stopped

I installed CM10 on my AT&T HTC One X and can't type anything as the keyboard keeps crashing. I've searched all over the net for a keyboard to install but everything like Swype requires you install it from the phone directly which I can't type on. Does anyone know of a solution to this crashing issue or somewhere that I can get an alternate KB?
Here's the issue, the keyboard keeps crashing and the home button doesn't work either.. the phone just vibrates when I press it. I installed the CM10 nightly build plus the gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip GAPPS. I've been searching all over and search keeps breaking on xda so I can't find much on here right now.

Try rolling back to the most recent stable version.
The new JB keyboard crashes on me whenever I try to save anything, but I'm running it on a Sense rom.

So you can't even interact with the "Select input method" dialogue in the notification pane? Because you should be able to remotely install a new keyboard through Play. Then once it's there, you can switch in the notification pane.
I'm having the same issue. Tried installing CM10 coming from CleanRom. Did a wipe before install.
Not only keyboard for me, home button doesn't work correctly and I cannot launch the browser.
Went back into recovery, flashed CM10 again, preformed not only a factory reset but also did a "system" wipe.
rebooted and things were fine.
rebooted back into recover and installed gapps, things are hosed again.
reproduced on gapps 4.2 and gapps-jb-20121130-signed.zip

I can't even log into my google account, I can't get a keyboard to appear to type with.
OK,
Factory Reset and wipe "System"
Install CM10
Use gapps from 1011 - gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
Things are working.

I can't seem to find Wipe "System" in the Factory Reset. The only options I am given to wipe are the data and cache which I have tried doing and afterwards reinstalling CM10 and GAPPS-jb-20121011-signed.zip yet the "Unfortunately Android's Keyboard (ASOP) has stopped working" still pops up
I know you have tried one of these but ill quote what Inflatedtitan gave to me when i had the same problem.
"Sounds like there could be a few problems so were gonna go with the most popular ones lol..
1. Sounds like you didn't wipe everything in twrp before you flashed. Make your you always wipe cache, dalvick, factory reset, and system. Then flash Rom followed by gapps.. then reboot
2. Have you restored from a titanium backup? If so, make sure next time its ONLY user apps.. if you restore system apps and data, think of your system settings from one Rom clashing with the system files from your new Rom. They won't play nice together. Only backup and restore user apps+data
3. If the above steps were taken correctly, I would delete the Rom.zip from phone. Maybe download using a different browser. Chrome browser is notorious for corrupting roms.. you could have had a bad download

With these steps I got my ROM working so maybe it could help you.
The issue y'all are having is coming from the newest gapps. Install a older gapps and you will be up and running. I had the same issue on my tab 7.0 and hox and reinstalling new gapps worked

I had the same problem as others here, keyboard would stop working as soon as my One X started. The above fixed it. I only wiped System, did not Factory Reset. Make sure you're using the above version JB Gapps.
I've seen this issue when I accidentally forget to wipe something. I've found I have to wipe, flash previously working Rom, THEN go back, wipe and install new rom.

[Q] AT&T SM-P907a Root?.

I picked up an AT&T 4G LTE Note Pro (SM-P907a) yesterday and so far I am absolutely loving it. And though this is my first post, I am no stranger to XDA, I currently have Galaxy S4, Note 3, Note 10.1, and now the Note Pro, all are rooted running custom roms, minus the Note Pro. I have never hade to make a post before because I understand how to use the search function and have always been able to find the answersI have needed, until now. I am hoping someone can tell me if it is possible yet to root AT&T's version of the Note Pro 12.2, SM-P907A? Will CF auto root for the Verizon SM-P905 work? Or am I simply to ahead of the game and need to wait for root to become available? Thanks!
Same here. Just got mine. Want to use about 3 apps that require root. It's only been out one day. At&t probably didn't add anything to what Samsung did as far as locking the bootloader. All I really want at this point is root, I don't need a new room yet. Yet
Based on how long the Verizon variant users have been waiting. .. come back in September. In all seriousness though, I hope you folks don't have to wait that long...

brilliant!!!! thanks. I am installing busybox as I type this :laugh:
EDIT: haha spoke too soon, SuperSU won't install. Do you know how to get a custom recovery on it when rooted this way?
I can confirm towelroot is working for AT&T P907a.
Steps I took.
1. Download and installed towelroot (towelroot.com)
2. Ran towelroot apk, device rebooted.
3. Downloaded SuperSU 1.99r4 (download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip)
4. Ran SuperSU apk, installed binaries, disabled Knox
5. Done!!

Mine is. But it was actually worse before root.
during one of the reboots I've been having it actually showed custom aND a lock that is unlocked. now when I reboot it doesn't say that anymore. root checker shows that it is properly rooted so I'm not sure that there's a problem.has anyone else noticed this?
I've had a couple of reboots.. what is weird is that it flashes to the at&t logo the my lockscreen. When I unlock it its like it rebooted but it happens so fast.. I am not sure if its a system reboot or just the user session crashing...

When I reboot now I see this custom android and unlocked logo at the bottom of the screen. What I am unsure of is if it had this before I rooted.
If someone who based rooted their 907a reads this please check if you get this on a bootscreen during a restart.
I would like to hear from a couple people how their tabs are doing after root. I'm thinking about doing it.
My AT&T Note Pro 12.2 keeps rebooting. My WiFi only 12.2 restarts when attempting towel root and never patches the necessary files. My AT&T Note 3 was flawless though. 1 out of 3 ain't bad I guess. Really just want the ad block ability. Is there an unroot so I can get my tablet to stay on more than an hour?
Me and my friend both got the att 12.2.
After rooting I've had reboot issues while he hasn't. So I've been slowly uninstalling programs that I use and he doesn't. Thinking it might be one program or another or a combo of programs. First I uninstalled Greenify to no effect. Next I switched back to the Samsung launcher from Nova Launcher Pro. So far its been two days without a reboot since switching back to the touchwiz launcher.
I ran Nova launcher fine before root.. And my friend with the exact tablet rooted the same way has had no issues..
Are you running a launcher different than Samsungs?
Ill report back.. but so far so good.
That's a very good point. I'm using the stock launcher still but I do have a ton of apps. I'll have to try deleting some see if that has any affect.
Ok, some added details on my "rebooting" although it doesn't show the samsung logo, so I don't think it is a full reboot.
I have noticed that the only time it happens is when I lock the screen or when it locks itself. Sometimes it has been locked for a while and it will randomly do it. I don't believe it has ever happened while I was using it. Oh, and a few times it happened while unlocking the screen. So it all seems to be related to the lock screen. I don't have any apps that add functionality to the lock screen. I have a pattern unlock and Smart Stay enabled (although this never worked for me, maybe my face is too weird to be detected? Lol). I am going through the process of turning off things to see what might be causing the problem. The first thing I disabled was the LastPass accessibility extension. I will give it a day or 2 but I have been playing around with locking and unlocking with various apps open as i write this and I haven't had a "reboot" yet.
I noticed that another poster had trouble with a different app and like him this trouble started after I rooted it. The LastPass accessibility extension worked fine before rooting. I will tell you what this extension does and maybe it will help us narrow down what area of the system has been changed to be incompatible with certain software.
The extension "watches" for password entries on apps and webforms and offers to autofill with saved passwords.
Sorry for the long post, hope it is helpful to someone.
I've been running Lastpass for months on my Wifi model so I doubt it is the cause. Good idea to systematically disable things though. I have problems since enabling a custom keyboard though. Perhaps try disabling all other input methods other than stock?

You're right, after a while it started doing it again. I guess it didn't happen as often as I thought. I really hope someone comes along who knows how to diagnose crashes to find out what is causing them.
I've been getting reboots also every once in awhile on my sm-p907a it reboots.I also tried safe strap recovery for the at&t samsung galaxy note 3 version 3.75.It seems to be working I did a nanoid backup and it successfully worked but took awhile. I didn't do a restore because I don't want to mess anything up until there's a stock Odin firmware download to restore if something goes wrong.The dpi is of but u can c almost the whole recovery screen if anyone wants to play around with it

Gear 2 losing notification access on phone reboot

I'm on the latest leaked lollipop rom for s4 and upon reboot my gear 2 loses notification access. Has anyone else experienced this? Hard resets, factory resets and updates of both phone and gear don't seem to make a difference.

Have you tried going in Security/notification access and allowing gear manager ? I don't have lollipop but I just thought about this...
Yes, in the lollipop rom I'm using the notification access is under sounds and notifications, and it's enabled, until I reboot. Then it loses access.

Have you also tried wiping cache partition and Dalvik cache ?
Indeed, plenty of times,including full wipes of both phone and gear, to no avail. I'll keep trying out solutions and eventually I'll get one.

Well you seem to know what you are talking about so I would say that you ROM seems not to be compatible with the G2, I have no formal knowledge though
I'm beginning to suspect as much. I'll flash another version of LL at home later and see if it's the rom I'm using at the moment (which is giving me umpteen reboots and seems to act like a thermal power plant lol)
*update* flashed different kernel and even though the permission on reboot still occurs, I now get notifications, where as before I didn't,and my phone is cool. I'll post my findings when I flash a new rom.
Same issue here.
I9505 using leaked lollipop. Original Gear running latest OTA Tizen.
Disconnect reconnect and turning off blyeooth does not trigger the issues but full reboot does.
Have tried latest Gear Manager APK leaked from S6 but did not fix.
Hoping for fix soon as its very annoying
Yep, Im pretty much on the same boat as you, latest gear OTA, using latest lollipop leak also, with exactly the same gear manager and issue. I'll certainly keep at it and post a solution, if I find one, here.
By the way, is Svoice working on your gear?

Hello,
I flashed the last official lollipop touchwiz rom on my GT-I9505.
I have the same problem: After reboot the settings for notification access are lost, only the "glanceview mk" has access.
I have to reenable all other checkboxes (eg. "Tasker", "Tesla Unread",...) until next reboot...
Because I have no root, do you have other solutions?
Regards,
Alexander
same issue for me.
i noticed that happens after rooting my galaxy s4.
i tried reboot the phone before rooting and the permission for gear manager remain.
(sorry for the english)
Regards
Fabio
spam, delete
It happened me the same on note 4 lollipop. I fixed it disabling talkback.Apk
Check what applications remain turn on in the notification access after reboot, once you know them disable them throw application manager, and after that turn on gear manager as notification.

[Completed] Restore phone after failed to install launcher

So, I got the great idea to try to install the Galaxy s6 launcher, but failed along the way. I rooted my phone using 'CF auto root', so far, so good. And then I downloaded the Galaxy s6 touchwiz launcher and replaced it with my default launcher (Galaxy s5, touchwizhome_k). After I restarded my phone it just looks like it's set to the simple mode even though it is not. I tried factory reseting it hopeing it would go back to normal, but I didn't. Anyone that knows how to fix it?
So this is what my phone currently looks like...

Hello,
You can push another launcher (Nova, adw, go etc) via adb and reboot your phone to normal.

Galaxy S6 (Stock) - Ultra Power Saving Mode crashing phone

Hi, I have an S6 which has never been rooted or firmware modded. I was using Ultra Power Saving Mode on the phone without problems and then randomly a few months back I went to use it and it just hangs at "please wait".
I managed to reset, but it has happened ever since so I stopped using the feature and as I'm looking to sell now, I didn't really want this happening.
I should note, that I was originally using themes when this happened but uninstalled straight after but to no avail. Is there any fix for this other than flashing stock rom again?
Thanks
Take a backup of whatever you need and flash stock firmware
Better safe then sorry!

Okay thanks, looks like it's the only way forward - cheers.
