[Q] No launcher and random reboots after returning to stock - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My OPO was running Multirom with CM11S as main rom and franco as main kernel. After updating to 38R it randomly rebooted about 20 times a day, so i decided to do return to 100% stock (except open bootloader and tamper bit) by following this tutorial. But that made it even worse. Lots of app not responding dialogs popped up at first start and it was really laggy after that, also it still rebooted randomly. Then i reflashed twrp through fastboot and installed Paranoid Android 4.6 Beta 5 + pagapps (19.10) after i did a full wipe. This made it even worse. On the phone setup screen, it couldnt connect to google services. After i finished the device setup screen, the screen stayed black except for the notification bar and onscreen buttons. It's like i dont have a launcher installed. When i open settings through notification center (which works just fine) i cant get out of it. When i close settings in the multitask screen it the screen stays at the multitasking screen with no apps open for about 5 secons then turns black again. I thought it was a bug in paranoid android, so i tried flashing standard cm11 instead: same problem.
I now returned to 33R and it appears to run fine. I never heard of these problems. Has anyone made similar experiences or has a solution?

[Q] Reverted to WEIRD default settings after random reboot

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..

[Q] Android L (LRX21O) Crashes/Reboots randomly

Nexus 5 is unlocked/rooted. Did a full factory reset when I installed L.
Will randomly go to phone and it is off/unresponsive off screen (need to hold power button to reboot it)
Have occasionally seen the notification icon flashing with the screen off but also unresponsive otherwise (asked for friend to call, but would not ring)
Have also seen it randomly reboot.
Seems to be happening at least every hour or so...quite maddening now.
Would love any help! thx.
Same Problem..Motherboard Issue
Hey..i was facing the same issues after update..Showed it to Service Center...Service center guy told that Update has screwed my Motherboard..If your are in warranty just take back it to service center guy..
I'm on stock LRX21O, flashed from img, unrooted, third attempt, and the thing is still crashing and freezing all over the place. I'm starting to think LRX21O is a dud, plain and simple.
FINALLy found a fix. Switched over to Franco Kernel -- having NO problems anymore!
Now on Franco Kernel + Cataclysm + greenify -- getting full day batter life with no reboots anymore!
edit: here's the kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/kernel-franco-kernel-r53-t2508284

Display stops working, mostly, on second boot after installing non-stock.

I've got an odd problem with my p900. If I install any lollipop ASOP ROMs, the first time I reboot after initial install, the display mostly stops working. The first boot works fine, I go through the setup wizard, set everything up, and the tablet works and displays fine as long as I don't reboot.
Specifically, what will happen if I reboot is that the tablet will go through the normal boot, and get to the point when the wallpaper and status bar will come up, but no homescreen icons or anything. Then after a while, about 2-5 minutes, the display will go black except for the status bar. I can pull down the notifications drawer from the status bar, and it will display, as will the quick settings, but anything I tap to try to interact with will seemingly just do nothing. If I have 'show touches' on, then touches will display properly, anywhere on the screen, but they seem to do nothing. I've tried trebuchet, google now, and adwex, the home app doesn't seem to make a difference.
The problem first began in I want to say october, when I flashed a CM12 nightly update. I unfortunately no longer remember which nightly I was on nor which I flashed to. I of course immedately tried to flash back to the previous nightly when I discovered the problem, but it did no good. It took me a while to figure out the pattern to the problem after it first occurred, as I often don't reboot the device for a long while after a first install. I don't have a lot of spare time to devote to sitting down and just focusing on trying different things, so it wasn't until president's day weekend that I tried what I *thought* would fix it, ODINing back to stock and installing the latest CM12.1. Clearly that didn't work, or I wouldn't be posting.
I've tried the 20151104, 1029, 1006, and 0910 CM12.1s from http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...nt/rom-cyanogenmod-12-lollipop-5-0-1-t2971945. I've also tried Civz lollipop, pacman, and resurection remix. Anything not stock based has the problem. I tried running stock, but I've been running CM since G1 days, and I just can't stand stock, even the stripped down and modded versions. It just doesn't work right, and I can't get used to it, even after forcing myself to use it for several days.
I've never encountered such a weird problem, and I can't seem to find anyone else having a similar problem. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this beyond what I've done already. I'm currently running thompatry's Cm12.1 20160212, having not rebooted after the initial install, and it's running mostly ok, but I live in dread of my battery dying, and of course I can't install any xposed modules like xprivacy or multiwindow, which is bothersome. I have the wifi only US model, v1awifi, and I'm currently running TWRP 3, tho I was on TWRP 2.8.something when the issues first started happening.
what's the last 3 characters of your bootloader version?

Have you tried changing kernel? I mean in the case of civz lollipop rom you do get an option of 2 different kernels try choosing the opposite to the one you had chosen before. Thank you, hope it helps.
I won a year ago 2 Note Pro, one works flawlessly while the other is slow af and it has the same issue that you speak about. If I stay on stock everything is good more or less (sometime little slow), but if I install Lineage or any other Custom Rom is too slow and has the same issue you speak.
I changed both batteries, but nothing to do. If anyone knows, text please.
Thank you!

Lineage OS : homescreen and menu buttons not working + black screen after reboot

Am I alone ?!
Lineage OS works fine, for a couple of days, then, out of nowhere, the homescreen and menu buttons are not responsive. Then, upon reboot, homescreen turns black, showing nothing except the status bar. The status bar can be swiped down, but everything you click is not responsive.
Wiped Dalvik and cache, issue is still there...
* After a reboot, the device shut down inexplicably. Upon next reboot, issue resolved... WTF is going on?!

I have the exact same problem! Installed LOS on Friday evening and it worked great until Monday afternoon. Screen was on and had full notification bar contents - it looked like the phone was working properly. It could even take calls, receive emails and texts, but the rest of the screen was black and the buttons reset to original settings and didn't even work correctly. The Home button did nothing except a double tap would create a brief white border around the edge of the whole screen. A single press did nothing. The back button worked properly. The switcher button did nothing at all. I think it was doing the Google assistant thing. Holding in the power button was setup to press restart and then give restart options, but it was reset to just restart and confirm.
Restarting never worked to correct it. Wiped cache and Dalvik cache, still no go. Letting it sit for over 30 mins did let it recover once and one other time while driving it went from this black state to fully functional for no reason. It was good for a few minutes and then the buttons stopped working again. The soft buttons did not help either. They behaved badly as well.
It seems to have no pattern. I wiped the phone and flashed the newest LOS on Monday evening and it worked great until tonight. I have no idea what is going on!
Glad to know I am not the only one... Just need a permanent fix!
Nice, a brother !
The back button worked properly.

Same thing here.
Also, I can't tell if receiving calls work, cause I didn't try, but I can confirm the quick settings tiles keep working. The drop down notifications show up, but clicking an individual notification won't bring up the app it is refering to.
So far, the "shutdown, wait a little and reboot" seems like the only thing resolving the issue temporarely. So yeah, before wiping everything and reflash LineageOS, keep calm and wait !
Also, be sure to do a backup your working OPO/LineageOS phone in TWRP mode, so you don't waste time reflashing OS, restoring apps with Titanium Backup and restoring settings manually, like I did three times over the past two weeks...
Too bad we don't see the changelogs with each weekly LineageOS builds releasing or any bug report compilation.
I am conducting some trial and error testing to help isolate the problem. So far it feel like it is related to profiles, specifically with either a trigger or disabling the lock screen. It seems when I add a profile to unlock and disable my lock screen via a wifi "on connect" trigger, that is when things seem to go down hill. generally shortly after is when I get the black screen. I am using the Pixel launcher and have added a Home profile with triggers for wifi and then set my lock screen to disabled. I am currently using the default profile and have not added any others and the phone seems to work well with no issues. It is still too early to say that is the problem, or even exactly what the specific problem is, but I will continue with the default profiles as-is for the next few days or week to see if it remains stable.
Maybe this will help steer someone else to find a fix...
Also this has just happened to me.
All was working fine for a few days since flashed now have same issue as above
Also had Profiles set up for home network for lock screen and sync etc
Phone is Redmi Note Pro 3 though
Stumbled across this while looking for info on this issue
https://www.nico-maas.de/?p=1537
That link is going down the exact same path as I am. Coming to the same conclusions. Thanks for posting it.
With the default profiles in use, I no longer get the black screen and everything is working fine. I will need to keep an eye on the change logs to see if a profiles fix come down the pipe.
For me, it was changing the Lockscreen to none (from pin) that caused the black screen. That link defiantly helped me out. Only thing I did was edit the "profiles.xml" and changed '<screen-lock-mode>' to 0 instead of 2
Yep, also using System profiles to disable lockscreen at home or in car.
Lately, I get no issue at home, but only in car, where my system profile is also setup to activate hotspot when Bluetooth connected to my radio. As soon as hotspot turns off, issue is resolved.
On another side, I mentioned earlier that LineageOS doesn't list its changelogs. I was wrong. You can find them here : https://www.cmxlog.com/14.1/
Fixed!
I experienced the same problem today with my OnePlus 2. Guess time does heal. I waited for a good half an hour and it seemed to fix itself.
When the screen is off, hold down the power button for a second and you should see the power menu. Select 'restart' and let the phone reboot. Simple as that!
Tell me if the problem still persists.
Still having issues.
Notification cannot be seen , I can only hear them.
I haven't configured any profiles.
Home and recents don't work.
Can't open developer options, its says its not available for this user
Anyone have ideas ?
Help me
I got issues with LO, my back, home, recent buttons not working (capacitive) so I'm using on screen button. But after all happen, now I'm having problems with my volume button, it didn't work at all, already restarting my phone many times, also, chance the system profile to default, sadly, it didn't help. Can someone help me with it.
This is not a new issue. I first encountered on CyanogenMod 3 years ago, and I'm disappointed to find that it still hasn't been fixed in
Lineage os. In CyanogenMod disabling "reduce power consumption" in the adaptive display section resolved it. But now with lineage is there doesn't seem to be any specific setting that causes it.
had the same issue - pretty sure it has something to do with "Profiles" set up. For instance, I set up profiles for turning off Lockscreen when Home - using the WiFi detection.
After a restart, the screen went black, but funny enough, the quick menu and the Bar still showed up. I turned on Airplane mode, to switch to the default Profile - which enables the Lockscreen when not in wifi and restarted. That worked.
So I think something with the Lockscreen + Profiles is a bit buggy.
It only occurs after a reboot.
I am using LineAge OS for M7 14.1 - which runs great!

Have the same problem. Tried to update Lineage OS, but it didn't work out. Can anybody help me?

I solved this by clean flashing ( Data wipe + LOS Reflash ).
It's a Known LineageOS source bug ( according to their reddit )
I've started getting this as soon as I tried getting the first time setup to work again. Try this:
adb shell
su
pm enable com.google.android.setupwizard/com.google.android.setupwizard.SetupWizardActivity
2. adb shell settings put secure user_setup_complete 1
and if it doesn't work try adb shell settings put secure user_setup_complete 0
I have a Nexus 10 running the latest 7.1 Lineage image and had the same problem after updating the system and the GApps... here’s how I solved this problem on my tablet... maybe it will help someone else...
1) Use TWRP as your recovery loader
2) Backup your image using TWRP
3) Install the latest GApps - I use the Nano version
4) Wipe the Cache after the install is complete
5) Reboot and wait for the system to settle
6) Reboot into recovery (TWRP)
7) Install the latest Lineage (I use nighties)
8) Wipe the Cache after the install is complete
9) Reboot and wait until everything loads
10) Problem solved.
So... install GApps over the existing install... reboot let it do it's cleanup, then reboot into recovery and install the nightly update... wiping the cache of course... its worked for me three times now.

Great! Setting secure user_setup_complete to 1 seems to work for me.
EDIT: Nevermind, the problem only occurs when I connect to wifi with the screen off, which I didn't test. So no solution yet.
hello there! i have a similar bug on lineageos 15.
everything worked fine until today. no new apps installed or settings changed.
i flashed on 1. December and im really happy with this ROM, but today the hardware touch-keys stopped working correctly. The back button is ok, home button don´t work (except the double-tap function which starts splitscreen) and the menu button wich is set to swich last app with a single tap and show all open apps with a long tap opens the app-menu instead (that function that we know from android 4...).
after rebooting everything start to work again but only for a random period of time.
sry for errors or bad english...
i hope it will be patched cause the ROM is really one of the best i had.

Screen not working?

It's sort of laggy, when I want to tap on an app to open it, for example, it takes a few taps or sometimes just doesn't work at all.
The problem doesn't seem to be only on one area of the screen though, the whole screen has the same problem.
Haven't installed any recent updates or anything, in case that could be a cause of the problem. I've tried restarting the phone a few times and also wiping the screen but it hasn't worked.
I've also tried using the optimise and clean up options in the Phone Manager, but they haven't improved anything...
The screen was working like normal just this morning, but then around late afternoon the problem started.
I haven't installed a custom ROM or any other major modifications like that, by the way. The phone is pretty much the same as it was since I bought it. EMUI v8.0 and Android Oreo.
Try a factory reset?
