[Q] Using ROM: "JVU[2.3.6] SAUROM", but Apps go away after Reboot - Samsung Infuse 4G

Hi All,
I seriously read all 17 pages of SAUROM's Dev page and only found 1 other use having this issue but post has no response:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20344195&postcount=31
I also searched and most people have somewhat similar issues but not like mine where it works first time fine then upon reboot Apps disappear.
I've rooted my Infuse a long time ago and have been ROM'ing it for several months now. I've changed several ROMs and some have lots of pieces I love but has issues with something I really need (like bluetooth).
So I gave SAUROM 'One rom to rule em all' a shot. I actually really am impressed upon initial Flash. I made lots of changes, and then lost root/SU, then found SU-fix and applied. It worked for about one day then when I reboot my Apps (including Market) were dimmed-out. So I tried to search but no decent threads.
I thought perhaps another Flash of the ROM would fix, but same issue, then thought perhaps a kernel change so I did that too.
But I just did it again and during first boot everything looks good, I make changes add my gmail acct, use some Apps (actually last time I used Supercharger and installed busybox) but even prior to this it was doing the same thing. Then thinking perhaps it might have fixed it, rebooted and still same thing.
Is there any *.zip or setting that perhaps I can check to fix this? Some script that may help to check where this issue lies? How about fstab file that I can check and edit to fix this??
This happens every time I reboot! I installed apps last night and actually held off posting this, then this morning I rebooted and Apps disappear again (even Play Store).

First thanks for the response bigfau!
I have checked this to see if this option would be a good way to resolve my issue but weird thing is that these dimmed-out apps that appear to be on my sdcard actually go away. If they were truly installed on sdcard like SS above says, then I should be able to:
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage applications > On SD Card >
Select App > "Move to phone" but they're not there, only XDA Premium . (attached SS)
After a reboot, I have to go to My Files, App_Manager > App_Backup > user_apps > Re-install My Apps again. But any reboot puts me back at square one.

1. Uninstall and install your launcher app (don't restore)
2. Wipe your dalvik cache (if rooted)
Try this and let me know if that helps.

*Thanks, your response makes sense as I remember TWLauncher errors with this ROM and think yes my Launcher is the culprit.
Ive been trying to Uninstall and install a launcher (which I thought would be relatively simple).
1. I downloaded/installed 2 different Launchers (Launcher Pro & Go Launcher Ex) from Play Store.
2. Downloaded TW4Manager.apk, tw4key.zip, and ShareApp.apk (for TWLauncer 4.5).
3. Moved TouchWiz30Launcher.apk out of system/apps/ and backed up *just in case*, then rebooted into Recovery and Wiped Dalvik Cache.
When it was booting, it stayed on the Galaxy S boot animation screen for the longest and never booted.
I decided to attempt to Flash Saurom again, (wipe user data, which cache, wipe Dalvik Cache, install ROM zip) and I'm trying again.
But seems like I got some weird chicken/egg thing going on. I can only install apps while booted or phone is on.
Did i do something incorrect?

Isn't this how it works? I am not sure how you would install apps when the phone is turned off? Or do you mean screen on?

Hi diablo009,
Sorry what I was referring to was that it seems yes I can install Apps while phone is on, but they're only available during that time (after installed). Its like they are in RAM and lose them if I shutdown or reboot.
I'm sure it's not the ROM I used as stated in the Title because I've recently done lots of testing on my phone. I again Re-flashed the ROM again doing:
1. Wipe user data/wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache, install ROM .zip.
2. Run Su-fix su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip
*Ive tried this with and without reboot in between 1 & 2.
Still same symptoms, loads first time fine. Runs setup, is rooted, can install Apps, then upon reboot they're gone.
So I said okay let's test out another ROM to see if same results, and so yesterday I changed to GamerzRom v8.1, then upped to 9.0 and same results with Apps.
I've used different kernel's (DD_03042012.zip & kernel-2011-11-27.12-40.zip), used diff ROMs, and have also attempted to get back to Stock either by using:
-SGH-I997_UCLB3_INFUSE.zip (I guess this is Stock with Root & couple more things)
-Get back to Stock ROM by using Download-Mode and SGH-i997-UCKJ4-One-Click.jar
After either of these, attempt to re-flash and see if problems go away but they haven't.
Weird thing is sometimes I lose SU/Root sometimes I don't. I'm sure it's something I've done to my phone or the filesystem which is why I'd like to be able to check it out, like fstab, mtab (if there's one), permissions or something else but I'm not sure what to look for =/
Thoughts or other areas I can check?
A checklist would be awesome right now if I could find one....

Backup the data you have on your internal/external SD cards, and format them please. And try to install an app, reboot, and let me know if the issue is still present.

SD
I had the same issue. I blamed it on a bad SD card. I removed the SD card all together and never had the problem since. I only had the stock 2gb card in there so it was not worth the hassle.

This is what even I am suspecting now. So only wanted him to format both internal and external. And this one reason I recommend no less than class 6 cards for phones, preferably class 10.
---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------
1. Clean wipe and ROM install
2. Clean wipe with a different ROM
3. Clear dalvik cache and cache
4. Wipe data for launcher
5. Fresh install of launcher
6. Fresh install of apps and no restoring with TiBu
7. Formatting internal and external memory
8. Take out external memory
9. Change external SD card
There's your checklist, as far as I can think of. And I have marked in green the options you said you have tried.

Hi, you just have to replace the file vold. Fstab and place it on /system /etc
Pm with your mail and I will send to you b/c I have it with me but don't know how to upload here
The file is suppose to say that the apps must stay on the sdcard..
Qkster explain that to me very well, if I were you, I look in his roms thread..
Let me see

Okay glad to report this has helped me! Not sure if the scard (internal/external) was bad or getting full or what but here's what I did:
1. Copied all my data (sdcard [int/ext]) to PC.
2. Format scard: Settings > SD Card/Storage > Unmount SD Card > Format
*Did this for both SDCard & USB Storage
Result in "Lady voice on partioning boot mesg, (basically inoperable phone).
*My fault because I didn't need to do USB storage? Should I have done both SDCard & USB Storage? Either way I think i wanted to restart from scratch with factory type reset/stock ROM.
3. Boot Download-Mode and ROM using: SGH-i997-UCKJ4-One-Click.jar
4. Root phone and tried to Re-flash with custom ROM (Saurom) but need CWM recovery. CWM was in blue-mode, needed Green or Red to flash ROM.
5. Downloading SGS Kernel flasher and flashing it with Entropy's DD
For this I used: DD_03042012.zip, but for me I noticed Market and Maps were "dimmed" out and thought I'm back to square one!
Dunno if this was coincidence or something I did to cause this or what but I think it's important to note because issue seemed to reappear.
I changed the kernel to: kernel-2011-11-27.12-40.zip and dimmed Market/Maps went away.
6. Booted in Recovery, wipe user data/wipe cache/ wipe Dalvik cache, Flash ROM: JVU[2.3.6] SAUROM
7. Booted up, went through SetupWizard, then realized lost Root.
8. Run Su-fix su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip
9. Boot phone, verified Root, installed some Apps, and rebooted & Power-Off over 10 times.
All looks good now!
So far its looking like my issue went away!

@OP: This happens many times when the android data files on the external SD get corrupted. And happy to know your issue is resolved

[Q] Infused 1.5 issues

I'm running Infused v1.5.0 Kernel 2.6.32.9 instatalled on July 9th, since then I have a couple concerns, I have rebooted maybe 5 times, I have noticed that after I downloaded apps from the market yesterday,now when I go to download apps, the phone says that the app is downloading but it never installs. I then have to reboot to get the apps to download and install correctly. How long will it be if I see better battery life? Does anyone have an answer?

1. Looks like a bad flash. Maybe u could try doing a clean install again. I didnt' face this issue.
2. To get a battery life estimate (assuming u flashed with a full battery, or battery calibration has been done after the flash), it would take about a week to get the battery circuitry and phone OS to get in sync.
Can I Flash with my ROM Manager or do I need to catch up with the person who Rooted the phone and installed the ROM?
Yes but.read ops and flash from red cwm works better

Is that Yes I CAN do it or yes I need to have the installer do it?
Some things install themselves to the sdcard, try unplugging and plugging USB and make sure you see the media scan message.

Since u already have the ROM loaded on ur phone, here's what u can do:
1. Re-download the ROM and copy it to internal SD card
2. Reboot into CWM
3. Do a factory reset (wipes system, data and cache partitions)
4. Go to advanced menu and do a dalvik cache wipe
5. Flash the ROM now
6. Reboot
Do NOT restore any data or apps from TiBu. I would recommend to see how the clean install goes on ur ROM without restoring any data or apps from TiBu or any other software for that matter. You can install from market though.
Try to make a note of apps u install from market so we can try to isolate the problematic app.
Let us know here if the issue is still persistent.
Ok thanks and remember I have ZERO experience at this... hopefully this is my last question.. When I do step #3 will it erase step #1 since its on my internal SD?

High level memory structure on Infuse:
|
|-- Internal Memory (used for /system, /data, etc)
|
|-- Internal SD
-------|
-------|-- External SD
Step 3 erases internal memory only. Both the SD cards are not touched at this point. So ur downloaded ROM is safe.
Sometimes external SD cannot be mounted onto phone when in CWM. So make sure the downloaded ROM is present in some location on internal SD only.
Since u want it fresh, u could format the internal SD, and then copy the downloaded ROM to it, and then get started with this process. This way u have a clean slate with all traces of apps removed from internal SD too.
Easy way to fix this is go into settings-applications-all-market-force stop-clear data. The you should be able to download apps. The battery life could take up to 72 hours to show improvement, if not search "recalibrate battery" and that should help. No need to do a fresh install.

I never get the Media Scan to pop up like the other sd cards do when I plug them in
ok what is CMW and where do I get red cwm ?

There is another thing you can try, open settings>applications>manage applications and scroll down to com.android.marketing and click on that then where you see 'clear data' & 'clear cache' click those too and check to see if the market app is running, if it is click 'force stop'.
After that restart the phone and the market should download properly.
Good luck
I will try this today
Maybe this is the problem, because I dont see com.android.marketing when I open settings>applications>manage applications. Its not there.
re: market not working
When you were looking for the com.android.marketing did you did you select the "ALL" on the top tab of that screen?
There are 4 options ontop of that screen: third party, running, all, and SD card. Select (click) the "All" and I am certain you will find it.
Do that and you will see the entry.

Question I completed the steps you suggested, but I'm still having an install issue. Question since my is Rooted can I reinstall my can I reinstall my factory ROM and keep the Rooting on my phone. Reason being is I didnt have the install issue until I but the Infused v1.5.0 Kernel 2.6.32.9 on my phone. My goal is to go back to the original factory ROM and stay Rooted

[Q] Force close after adding Reboot option

So I'm using lfaber's Supercharged V5 ROM and I tried to add the Reboot option to the power menu (JRW's method).
I messed up when following the instructions, however. I downloaded the ZIP to my phone and then installed it from the SD card, but forgot to wipe the cache first like the instructions said. So I wiped the cache and then went back and installed the ZIP again.
When I booted back up, I got force close messages for what seemed to be all my apps. Is this because I messed up the instructions? And what should I do to fix it? Can I backup into SCV5 again like I did at first or should I go back to the stock deodexed 2.3.6?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Usually it will force close because of an issue with signing, not because of cache wiping... try flashing the different 1% battery mods. (Don't forget to wipe cache partition and Dalvik Cache)

I'm not able to get my computer to recognize that my phone is plugged in (I think I saw a 'usb' force close message as some point) and I can't access the XDA app or the internet with my phone. Any suggestion on how to get the ZIP onto my SD card so I can flash it?

Is everything force closing or are just Google/Motorola apps force closing? Just keep closing the notification windows until they stop.
There's three ways of getting the zip onto your SD card, two of which may not be possible...
-Use the Motorola "Phone Portal" app to "Connect with wifi" and transfer the zip from your computer to your phone via wifi.
-Use the browser to download the zip file and make sure you can find it on your sd card
-Use a microSD card reader to put the file on your sd card
However there's another thing you can do that should fix you up.
-Make a CWM backup
-Flash SCV5, then the update zip
-Use CWM to "advanced restore" "data".
This will fix you up on any system modifications but restore your apps/data.
I didn't have an sd card reader, so I just backed up my system, then backed up into SCV5 and flashed the update. Phone is running fine with no force close issues.
If I understood you correctly, what I need to do now is put a different 1% battery mod than the one included in the ROM and then flash the reboot option again?
I'm a little confused as to why the 1% battery mod is involved at all?
Also, restoring data via CWM didn't seem to bring back my home screen setup. Would I need to restore system in CWM for that? I'm guessing if I did that my force close issue would just come back though, right?
Thanks again for all your help.

Restoring a CWM data backup should bring back your homescreen setup, as it restores the entire /data folder... Interesting. Don't restore system otherwise your problems will comeback
Very strange, shouldn't be nothing with the reboot.zip that would affect any of that unless you got a bad download?

Yea, I got an error when I backed up through CWM, but it was just generic. I was more worried about having the phone working at that point than having everything backed up, so I didn't worry about.

Not at all. When I first released the reboot.zip it worked fine with V5 but I have always run my 1% vertical mod and when I flashed it I lost the ability to reboot with the power menu. So I then went back and modified all of my 1% battery mods to work correctly with my reboot.zip. you should have zero problems with them as long as they are mine or the one that comes with V5. I have not had a chance to test with anything on 2.3.5 yet though
The reason I first recommend you to flash a different 1% battery mod was because it re-writes any system files that the first flash may have messed up. Now that you're up and running again you don't need to do anything else.
It's odd that your homescreen configuration wasn't saved... what launcher do you use?

I use the one that comes with SCV5, Go Launcher. I was able to restore the home screen directly from the Go Launcher app. So at this point, I'm up and running, but I still don't have the reboot option. Should I just backup as is (with SCV5.1) and try flashing the reboot option again the same way I did before? I would just seem weird if I just did the same thing again, because why I wouldn't just have that same force close issue like the first time?

I second that. Do a CWM backup then redownload the mod, and flash it. The download may have been corrupted last time around.

Running the backup now. I will let you know how it goes and I'll make sure to do a fresh download. Thanks.
Edit: this worked perfect. I realized when I did the download again that originally downloaded via the QR code, so maybe there's something wrong with that? Or something wrong with my phones QR code reader? I used Goggles.
Thanks again!

[ROM] Barebone SGS4G KJ6 1.1.3

Barebone SGS4G KJ6 ROM
Use at your own risk, I take no responsibility for anything that may happen to your phone because of this ROM.
Here is a ROM that I made for myself, but what the heck, let's share. This ROM is very stock-like with just few usability mods.
Features
Will not wipe your programs or data, /data is preserved upon install
Heavily debloated. Most essentials apps are still there (like WiFi Calling)
No extra programs added, you need to add your own
ODEXed to save space in /data
CarrierIQ is completely removed
Extended Power Menu (including Screenshot)
Extended Quick Panel (10 buttons, including Data toggle)
1% battery (horizontal)
CRT-Off
Time zone version 2012b
/etc/hosts to cut ads out of the box (keep up to date with AdAway or similar)
Few conservative presets in build.prop and init.d
Basic with a Twist 1.1.3 kernel included
Notes
* Don't get confused about ODEXing, it's actually better to run and saves quite a bit of space in /data.
* Some Google apps (Maps, Streets, Voice) and Adobe Flash are removed from /system. Install them from market. Benefit - they can be moved to SD card this way.
* Original Swype is removed, is somebody needs it flash this.
* In case you need it, use this thread to add some bloat back.
* Factory Reset is removed from Settings->Privacy, use CWM if you ever need to reset all data.
* KJ6 modem included. Use this thread to flash a different modem if needed.
Install
Flash with CWM. Wait until the system boots up, then wait few more minutes for it to settle.

Nope, never bothered with power menu. I don't reboot the phone too often and to say the truth don't even remember when last time I needed to take a screenshot. I use ShootMe and QuickBoot when I need to, they both do the job just fine.
Yes, power menu is fully modded now, including Screenshot option.
Thank you for this, Anton! Love your kernel. Is this ROM ok for OC/UVing with you OC/UV kernel? I think this will be the second ROM I have ever installed. Haven't bothered to try anything since first getting Val Final.

Yeppers it does.
I updated the link. I actually took it down on purpose, wanted to look at something but never had time.
I was troubleshooting an error message during boot time, so I traced it to the CIQ trying to execute some on-boot code, which was removed by Krylon. Strangely the original code itself doesn't do much, it's initilizing a broadcast receiver with an empty onReceive method. Removing this was a moot point, it probably didn't do much. I disabled the BOOT_COMPLETED permission for the service to avoid the error message.
So I looked at the CIQ more closely. What I found is a little peculiar. The main CIQ code is integrated quite deeply into the framework, it cannot be removed easily, there are just too many calls that send various metrics to the CIQ Agent. The main CIQ classes are not in the framework.jar, they are in ext.jar. Probably that's why nobody noticed them and never tried to modify them. What is strange that many calls seem to be not implemented. For example the sumbitMetric is an empty method, shouldSubmitMetric always returns zero, etc.
It's possible that T-Mobile decided not to use CIQ on our phone (at least extensively), but instead of removing it completely just plugged few calls.
I'm removing the "CIQ removed" description because it's actually not removed, although may not be doing much.
I cannot get it to boot. After the "Galaxy S 4G" screen, the screen goes back then nothing ever happens. I rebooted into CWM (which still shows Team Acid's logo) and tried fixing permissions to no avail.
Given that the OP says it won't wipe programs, data, etc, was it possibly a Bad Idea™ to have wiped everything before installing this ROM?
Update:
Indeed, installing from a blank phone (literally, I wiped everything) didn't work for me. I flashed Bryan's one-click with CWM, it booted, rebooted into recovery, flashed this, and it booted. Now for testing. Thanks, Anton!
I had the same issue as well... Thought it was just my phone

Would be interesting to look at the logcat to see where it's stuck.
There was a possible problem with 1.0.3 that I pulled off. The current one that I re-uploaded - I tried to install in on both fresh phone (after factory reset) and on top of a running ROM , everything seemed fine.
The problem was with framework-res.apk. I had to resign in because I changed some permissions in AndroidManifest.xml (related to CIQ), but something went wrong the first time.
There is a little bit of controversy with signing of framework-res.apk. Some say it's OK, some say the original cert should be kept. Maybe somebody else would chime in and tell me if I screwed it up or not.
wont flash
I wipe everything, the ROM installs, and then black screen...noting. Let it sit for 20min however this did not resolve issue. I was able to install Valhalla no prob. flashed your rom on top of Valhalla and then my phone boots your rom. Do i need to install on top of another rom? I should just be able to whipe my phone and install your rom correct?

I can probably capture that because I can use adb to get into the OS. I ran top to see what, if anything, was hogging CPU but there was nothing obvious & CPU usage was minimal. I have the phone running now but I'm willing to wipe it again and re-flash. Mind you, I did more than factory reset. I was quite literally trying to start from scratch, so here's what I did (if this helps at all):
Backed up /efs to my PC
Backed up the SD card to my PC
Wiped cache
Wiped Davlik cache
Wiped battery stats
Performed a nandroid backup
Copied the backup from /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup to my PC
Formatted /data, /system, & /sdcard
Rebooted back into recovery
Copied the ROM to the SD card
Flashed it
Let it cook for ~20 minutes
So it was quite literally a blank slate.

Wow, you really wiped everything from your phone
I'd appreciate if you send me the log. All you need to do is to save the file with "adb logcat -d >MyLogFile.log" after couple of minutes of this black screen. On an factory reset phone ODEXed ROM should boot very fast the first time because it doesn't have to build Dalvik.
I just tried downloading from my own link and reinstalling, everything seems OK. I also tried installing after full phone reset yesterday, it went fine too. I don't want to reset and restore everything anymore, too lazy
If it proves to be the certificate in the framework-res.apk, I may need to put the original AndroidManifest.xml back.
Hey Anton,
You can snag the logcat from here. In case anyone wants them & to clarify what I did, here are the steps I followed (similar to above but more detailed):
- Boot into CWM
adb reboot recovery​- Disable voodoo lagfix
- voodoo lagfix​- disable lagfix​- /system lagfix off​- Reboot
- Create a backup directory structure on your PC (mine is in C:\Users\username\Downloads\SGS4G)
mkdir backups​cd backups​mkdir efs nandroid sdcard​- Backup /efs to your PC
cd efs​adb pull /efs/​- Backup /sdcard to your PC
cd ..\sdcard​adb pull /sdcard/​- Boot into CWM
adb reboot recovery​- Wipe cache
- wipe cache partition​- Wipe Dalvik cache
- advanced​- Wipe Dalvik Cache​- Wipe battery stats
- Wipe Battery Stats​- Create a nandroid backup
- +++++Go Back+++++​- backup and restore​- backup​- Copy the backup to your PC
cd ..\nandroid​adb pull /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/​- Format /data
- mounts and storage​- format /data​- Format /sdcard
- format /sdcard​- Format /system
- format /system​- Reboot into CWM (necessary for CWM to see the sdcard contents)
- +++++Go Back+++++​- advanced​- Reboot Recovery​- Copy the ROM to the sdcard (this is from the directory in which the ROM is located on your PC)
adb push ROM-sms-T959V-GB2.3.6-antsvx.1.0.3.zip /sdcard/​- Flash the ROM
- install zip from sdcard​- choose zip from sdcard​- ROM-sms-T959V-GB2.3.6-antsvx.1.0.3.zip​- Reboot & let it sit for ~10 minutes
Sorry for the lengthy post, but I wanted to ensure there was transparency in what I did.
stephen_w,
Seems that it's not framework-res.apk issue, it's not complaining about any certificates.
A lot of unknown permissions in the log, but it's OK, we've removed some of the system packages that grant those permissions but they do more harm than good in the end.
The crash has something to do with that: *** FATAL EXCEPTION IN SYSTEM PROCESS: PowerManagerService. Hm......
Question. If after loading the ROM you shut down completely (power off) first and then boot instead of rebooting right from CWM, will it still do the same?
Btw you don't have to clean everything that extensively. Just do factory reset to erase /data and flash. Dalvik and /cache are cleared but the installer, the /system is completely overwritten anyway.
Weird...it flashed fine for me with no wipe....
I did move on and never gave it a break in....but it did work

I usually don't do it that extensively at all. I was writing a process for myself in case I wanted to really clean it out So this gave me a good excuse to test it. I was having some weirdness which prompted me to write the instructions for myself.
I haven't tried shutting it down after the install. I can certainly try that for you, if you like.
So its something to do with power management. That's weird. Is there something we did to our phones before that is causing the issue now?

Doubtful. Nothing I can think of, off-hand. I have to wait until later this afternoon/evening to reflash it and try powering off vs. rebooting from recovery. If you have the chance, please feel free and let us know what happens.

Woes of my Infuse

I start with a fresh wipe of my phone and then install BeanStalk with gapps (I'm currently using BS version 4.4.275 with gapps 20140105. Everything is fine for months. Then a couple of apps will start to crash a few times (the camera, dialer, browser and google apps). I've stopped using titanium backup and clockwork mod to restore my data because they were causing issues. Then the force closes become more and more frequent. I ran fix permissions and i have know clue if it helped or not. Then finally all hell breaks loose and everything begins to force close and give errors of no space left on phone. No launcher will stay open everything just bugs out. This seems to be an on going matter. It doesn't seem to resolve no matter what rom I run. I've gone through every folder sizing it and my phone is not out of space. I am getting very frustrated with my Infuse. I don't understand what some of the stuff means in my catlog file. If someone could help I'd greatly appreciate it.
i found out that Google+ and Google Drive might be the cause (such as when you upload or backup your photos to those clouds)
if you have time, go read those last 10 pages of BeanStalks, you will see what others have offered to resolve this issues
as for me, I'd do full wipe, specially format the sdcard0 (keep the Rom and Gapps to your SDcard1), and stop using the two Google services mentioned above. and use another Gapps (I am using the minimal one) Good luck!
Same problem with Unofficial CM 11.2 also
Exactly the same issue I am having with Unofficial CM 11.2 from scott.
I have been using Scott Harts Unofficial CM from 10.1 to 11.2 on my Samsung infuse and each time i notice a pattern.
Each of the above ROMs start out pretty smooth, and the phone works without any issues for 6 months or so. Then occasionally and app or two start crashing. Then in a weeks time all hell breaks loose and almost all apps start crashing such that the phone becomes unusable. Especially trebuchet starts crashing and that is the end of story.
In the past i have noticed this happens a month or so after an updated rom has been released and I used to upgrade to the new one and the cycle continues.
I am currently on the latest Unoffical CM 11_2 (Kitkat) and the appropriate Gapps installed and the same issue has happened twice.
I have tried the following to fix the issue and nothing helps
1. Clear data for trebuchet and a bunch of other apps.
2. Reinstall Gapps
3. Wipe Cache >> Wipe Dalvik Cache
4. Wipe Cache >> Wipe Dalvik Cache > install Gapps
5. Wipe Cache >> Wipe Dalvik Cache > install custom Rom >> install gapps >> wipe cache and dalvik again
The only way I have been able to get it working in the past is
1. Wipe data/factory reset > Clear Cache > clear Dalvik cache and possibly reinstall ROM and gapps (not sure, but I guess factory reset also does the trick)
So my phone is stuck in this mode and I would like to help debug the situation. Can someone help with the next steps? So that I can capture all required information before I do a factory reset .
Unable to get RSA prompt
Well I went ahead with a factory reset, installed Unofficial CM11_2 from Scott. Got the latest gapps from goo.im and phone seems normal again. But that is the expected behavior untill it starts acting up again.
I tried a lot to connect the phone through ADB and each time it remains unauthorized.
I tried on 2 different laptops, Windows 7, Windows Vista as well as Ubuntu - it always remained unauthorized and no matter what i tried ... changing USB ports , OS machines...nothing helped.
I never got the RSA signature prompt on my phone so could not do anything with ADB.
Any body has any ideas ?

Not sure about the other ROM's. I could go on a flashing journey, but I have two new devices I'm getting adjusted to right now. If you are not tied down to CM (don't know if it's your DD), I would suggest trying Carbon or CyanFox.
Me, I didn't need ADB that much at the time so I stuck with what I have. Not a solution, but I hope you find a ROM that works (partnered with a minimal gapps).

Unfortunately the infuse is the only phone I have (so my DD)...but the lure to test the ADB on carbon is also compelling for me. Let me try moving to a non smart phone and try this out.
OK. So i installed the Carbon KK nightly, and encountered the same issue. adb devices always lists the phone as
0123456789ABCDEF unauthorized.
Also i never received the rsa prompt...
Moreover the device key seems to suggest it is some default value as compared to an actual device key.
Got it Working !!!
Ok so finally got it working.
I moved away from Scott's Unofficial CM11_2 on my daily driver and moved to Carbon ROM. Loving the new rom so far.
Once i moved to this ROM, I started adb on my desktop (adb kill-server, adb start-server) and was waiting
then on phone enabled Developer options and Android debugging over USB and connected the phone to desktop, and zingggg I get the RSA prompt.
One important thing it read is that you phone should be unlocked when you connect it to your desktop, so in case you have things like PIN or gestures that lock your screen....ensure that your screen is not locked when the phone is being connected.
Not sure if this was the issue or if it was the CM rom,,,but issue is resolved, I am loving Carbon...so not going back to CM to check the lockscreen theory....but worth a try for someone who is pulling his/her hair out like i was.
Ciao !!!
---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------
missed mentioning that do not worry about the device id of 0123456789ABCDEF....i noticed it does not change for me even when adb connects properly.
It is the unauthorised state that needs to change to device.
What's the default launcher on Carbon, or does it give you a choice like Beanstalk?
Will be retiring the Infuse soon, so am thinking on what ROM to put on when I go to sell it (or give away). The requirement is that is not overwhelming to a new user. Cyanogenmod has a lot of customization, but it doesn't necessarily get in the way. I'd call it borderline overwhelming. Beanstalk is quite overwhelming, because you are forced to pick a launcher right from the beginning (even though I like it for the Jellybean qualities).
Because of these, I just may return it to stock, but have it rooted and with CWM.

I do not see any option to select a launcher like Scotts CM had. So i guess there is no direct option to select it.
Quick search in the running apps shows Launcher 3 running, and apk also available in the priv-app folder in rom, so can conclude launcher is Launcher3.
I did not find it overwhelming in any way.

I flashed it last night (latest nightly), and it gave me the option of either Launcher3 or Google Now Launcher. I think if someone who was new to the device would be stumped a little by this, but would probably select the Google Now one (the question would be would they press once or always) and be done with it.
Having something recognizable runs at an advantage here compared to Beanstalk, where, unless you know CyanogenMod (or have played with a lot of launchers) you wouldn't know what to select. That would be overwhelming.
Anyway, I wiped the data again, breezed through setup (skipped everything but language and time zone), so it's all ready to go. If need be I can get them set up with a network and Google account before I throw them to the wind.
EDIT:
I see why I got the prompt ... I used the Paranoid Android micro apps package, which includes ... the Google Now Launcher.

Hi,
I was using CM 10.1 from Scott for like a year and didn't have any trouble at all, really the best ROM. Only had two small problems: wouldn't film on 720p without bugging, and MHL to HDMI was not working.
Now I installed CM 11, with latest gapps ( didn't know there was a CM11.2 ), and camera issue on filming is the same. But now it's worse, battery life is lasting half the time it was before, and gallery is crap, bugging every time. Did you have the same issues? Tell me the post of CM11.2 please..

Not sure about this, but I think CM 11.2 is referred to as KitKat 4.4.4, which would be latest in the CM thread. So you are probably already running it.

You can download the Nova Launcher from the google play store if you want to have the same experience as with Scotts Beanstalk. I love the carbon ROM but I am so accustomed to the Nova launcher that I cant live without it.

OK the exact same problem has started again today on Carbon ROM. Wonder if this is a Cyanogen thing, as that seems to be common between the two.

Hmm, don't think I kept a ROM on my Infuse long enough to encounter this problem (except for my several months with CM 10.1, no issues). As for other phones, I use Jellybean on my semi-retired HTC and did not have this problem (closest I came was when I tried out Fly-On mod - lag closures often). But I don't think It's a Jellybean problem.
I think (and this may have been covered already) this has to do with the piddly datadata partition filling up. One way to check is open a terminal emulator (app on the phone of adb shell) and type:
Code:
df
Look for datadata in that listing. If it is in the 90% range, that spells trouble. If that is the case, you could try one of two solutions.
I don't know what possessed the developers to separate the data partitions in KitKat (I know, for "performance reasons") but leave 1/2 a GB for it. Lower end phones these days give you twice that.
Over the past few years or so I've installed ROMs going back to ICS. 99% of the time there was absolutely no issue. I habitually do a (1) factory wipe, (2) dalvik wipe, (3) system format, (4) sdcard0 format, (5) install ROM zip, (6) install gapps, (7) wipe cache and (8) wipe dalvik.
In the hundreds of ROMs I've installed and tested, 1 or 2 were bad compiles, and everyone soon knew it. They were immediately removed from any host site. So, if you're having issues, (1) install you ROM as above, (2) perhaps install a smaller gapps, and/or (3) check that you're not overloading your phone from the PlayStore.
The last and rarest issue could be your phone, but rule of thumb that works 99% of the time is: (1) assume it's always your fault first, and (2) read, read, read, read, read.

[ROM][Stock][Rooted] D850 20f Stock ROM Debloated

Updated: 03/24/2015
Hi all,
I did this mostly for practice but I thought it might be helpful so I went ahead and posted.
Stock LG D850 20f ROM
[*]Rooted/SuperSu
[*]Most bloat removed
[*]Oversharpening fix
[*]Flashable zip
[*]init.d support*
[*]CarrierIQ Remover*
*Init.d support is implemented in ROM only, not the kernel. CarrierIQ is removed automatically after first boot via an init script. Say thanks to @skeevydude for his help in getting this done. I shouldn't say "help", he pretty much did it!
Installation
Flash the Lollipop modem - see @autoprime 's thread here for modem zip
Flash the ROM zip
Wipe cache and dalvik (and in some cases data) if coming from a different ROM
Download
v3* - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934548695
[QRCODE]https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934548695[/QRCODE]
*No change at all to the ROM itself since v2, I just realized that I've been forgetting to zero out the free space on the image file before uploading, which saves about 600 MB when zipped. New flashable zip is about 1.1 GB instead of 1.7 GB.
Older versions:
v1 - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934543883

In case you want some of the ATT apps back, I have uploaded a zip here with those apps. This is NOT a flashable zip. You have a couple of options:
1. You may be able to install these as a normal (user) app by just pulling out the apk and installing the usual way.
2. If that doesn't work as expected, copy the app folder from the zip into the appropriate system folder as listed in the "Apps Removed" section.

Xposed Info
cmulk said:
Xposed has a couple of bad side effects at this point, so before doing anything you need to use Titanium or something similar to Freeze (this basically what the "helper" does):
LGSmartCover
Weather
Weather Theme
WeatherPlatform
Then you can install xposed as in the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
However, there is still one more bug to keep in mind: Xposed will crash the Tethering and Networks menu. There is no fix for that yet, but as a workaround you can download some apps from the play store (like Mobile Network Settings), to shortcut around the menu that force closes.

CarrierIQ Removal
CarrierIQ has now been removed!
The removal is done via an init script that runs at boot to disable the IQ service before removing the files in order to prevent a force close. However, if you have to wipe data/factory reset without re-flashing the ROM, you will get a force close on the first boot. The good news is that I've tested this scenario and it should fix itself if you just wait about 20 seconds. In other words, the mentioned script does it's thing to stop the service to fix the force close and you are good to go after that.

On the 20f lollipop rom (either mine or stock, there's no difference) either freezing LADDM or removing the libraries and LADDM as you mention will cause a force close unless you disable the "IQService" first, which is built into the framework-res.apk. I have repeated it multiple times and it has been discussed quite a bit in the Lounge and other threads. Disabling the service is easy for users to do with the "DisableService" app, and then you can remove LADDM and the libraries as mentioned. The difficulty is that disabling a service is a user setting, so, for example, if I reflash my ROM without the IQ files onto a phone with clean /data, I will again get the force close and an unusable ROM.

Manual Steps
In the meantime, here is how users can manually disable CarrierIQ. I take no credit for this method, it is posted in several places by several people, I'm just putting it here for convenience:
YOU MUST DO THIS IN ORDER (or at least the first few steps)
1. Download the "DisableService" app from the play store
2. In the DisableService app, go to System -> Android System and disable the "IQService" service
3. Use a root explorer to delete the folder /system/app/LADDM
4. Use a root explorer to delete /system/lib/libiq_client.so and /system/lib/libiq_service.so
5. (Optional) Uninstall DisableService
Remember, disabling the service is a user setting, so if you need to wipe /data for some reason, you will need to re-flash the ROM (which has the CarrierIQ files included) or else you will get a constant force close when your phone boots.
I'll give it a try, thanks
Flashing now. Will report.
I will be watching this ROM. Thanks for posting.
Exactly what does " if coming from a different ROM" mean? I'm on 4.4.2 10f Wulf (stock - rooted) ROM

Just clean flash to save yourself a hassle

Thanks for your work. I wish I had some skill in this realm. It'd be nice to pick and choose which apps you wanted removed. I prefer the stock ATT Visual Voicemail app over the one in the Play Store as its more reliable. I also use some of the Google Apps that are removed here as well. But great job in getting something debloated out there.

Flashing lollipop Issues
Thanks for your work.... When flashing the 2 lollipop roms, 9 out of 10 times I get just a screen with icons, no wallpaper, no notification pull down no buttons at the bottom. I flash the modem the rom then SU and clear cache. I have only got the other ROM to flash successfully once. The same is going on with this ROM, is this happening to anyone else. I flashed it 5 times with the same results, would anyone know why this is happening, seems others dont have this issue. Thank you again for bringing us a debloated Lollipop rom.

Here is what I understand for a clean flash:
"1. Boot into Recovery
2. Make a Nandroid backup
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Wipe cache partition
5. Wipe Dalvik Cache
6. Flash ROM
7. DO NOT REBOOT – STAY IN RECOVERY
8. Select backup and restore
9. Select advanced restore
10. Select the Nandroid backup you made above
11. Select Restore data
12. Select Yes – Restore data
13. WAIT!
14. REBOOT"
What I do not understand is step 8, which selects the backup made in step two... and then flashing the backup over the (new) ROM flash in step 6. Wouldn't that overwrite the new ROM you just flashed?

I have not seen that issue, but in case you are not clearing data you may need to try clearing dalvik cache.
Also, (and this is just a shot in the dark) you could try formatting system before doing anything else just in case something strange is left behind there.

You can try dirty flashing first without losing any of your data.
1. Back up your current Boot and System
2. Back up your current modem (if you're coming from the Kitkat modem), or just download a flashable KK modem already posted on XDA
3. Flash the modem and ROM in this post
4. Wipe cache and dalvik
5. See if it works
If it's not working, then you will need to restore your boot, system, and modem to go back to your original kitkat setup without losing data.
Otherwise, you'll have to backup with Titanium and do a clean flash (wipe data) as already mentioned. Using Titanium makes clean flashing not so bad
I do clear Wipe cache and dalvik I wipe everything and it boots back into a desktop and thats it no notification, the same thing happened with the first lollipop.. but after 10 flashes it finally took... so I thought Id try your de-bloated and the same thing is happening again, not sure why this is. I can jump back to kk after flashing the modem without issues. Thank you again for your work.

I agree that I use most or all of these Google apps as well. However, they update so often anyway that I prefer to just have them as user apps (otherwise you end up with 2 copies - the old static version in the system apps folder, and the updated version in the user apps folder).
As for the visual voicemail, I have posted the ATT apps in a zip in the OP. Visual voicemail is in the VVM_ATT folder.
Thanks!
cmulk,
Would you please clarify post 5 and 9 questions?

Sure thing! That's actually what I meant to do in post 13. I am not sure if you can flash over 10f without wiping data, but you could give it a try without losing anything (except time) if you look at post 13.
You should clear cache and dalvik mostly any time you are flashing, unless you are just flashing over another stock 20f ROM.

Have you tried formatting /system before doing anything else? I'm not sure that will make any difference, but just for process of elimination at least

Thanks I do clear everything but my external mem.
Ever since flashing this I'm getting "no sd card" messages every time I try to download anything ( I don't have an external sd card) but it's never been a problem before. I've restored a backup of my stock Tim and the problem followed me after full wipes.
