Leaked Froyo issues

First off, thanks to Kaos and Adrynalyne for putting out this sick ROM and CaptainKrtek for hosting it.
I noticed a couple of issues with the ROM:
1) Trouble locking in on GPS. On my Moto Droid, GPS will lock in after a few seconds, but after updating to 2.2 Fascinate, the GPS will not lock in even after a couple of minutes
2) Genie Widget (the News and Weather widget from Google) force closes even after multiple attempts to uninstall/reinstall. Didn't have this issue on 2.1
Has anyone else experienced this or have suggestions on how to troubleshoot?
Thanks!

Go back into recovery and wipe data/factory reset at least 3 times and wipe catch at least 3 times. reboot. Turn on GPS and let it run for a while on the first time. I have not had issues with my GPS on DL09 radio and Froyo rom after I wiped 3 times. I only wiped once and had no home button or lock screen. Most issues can be chalked up to not wiping the catch and data.

Touch screen
No hijack intended, I figured it would be appropriate to post another Froyo issue in this thread.
After my update (several attempts with wipes, and going all the way back to stock and working my way back up) I have a re occurring problem. The touch screen looses sensitivity to the point that it becomes un-usable. Then if I re lock and unlock the screen it works fine again. This same thing happened with the OEM leak and superclean.
For now I am going back to DL09 till I can figure this out. It is usable just annoying.

I'm having in call issues... Cuts out and gets staticy on occasion

Thanks 1.4hitachi, seems to have worked after wiping a few times and giving the GPS a couple of mins to lock in initially. Now to figure out the Genie Widget fc issue!

multiple issues on rooted vs995

Hello everyone. long time lurker first time poster,
I've had my V20 since the beginning of July, I rooted it the first week. It had been running great (stock rom) until the last 2 weeks. The first thing that i noticed was that my Google Chrome and Play store were missing from my home screen. I checked the app drawer, nothing, then went to the application manager, still could not be found. Did some quick research and found nothing helpful. I eventually went through a "battery saving" app like greenify or wakelock (I can't remember) and found the application data. I was thankfully able to go to the play store through said app and open them, which placed them back into view in my app drawer. This was a strange occurrence but brushed it off as nothing.
Fast forward to this week and more issues are arising. More apps are randomly vanishing, I only noticed because one particular app I use to disable annoying services was gone and the stock settings came back. After getting that back to block the services my phone has become very laggy. still functioning just slow at times. I also get a random vibration with no notification or prompt showing on screen. This only happens when the phone is awake. It is not a full vibration just a quick buzz, similar to a single key press with haptic feedback turned on. This happens while nothing is visably taking place on screen and no input from me. I have checked all settings I can think of, but still am stumped. The last issue is with my mobile connectivity, at random times my 4G will have no connection. I thought it was just bad reception because wifi was working fine. I confirmed it is just 4g because while i was in a small area with blocked signal it dropped to 3g and worked fine, but as soon as it switched back to 4g boom no connection. I have tried rebooting several times when these issues occurred, toggled many settings and even uninstalled several apps I thought could cause problems. I am having no luck and cannot find any common problems through my research.
TL;DR
- rooted v20 running stock rom
-random apps being removed but still installed
-4G connection issues
-random <100ms vibration
-times of bad lag
short of flashing back to original any thoughts or ideas will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance

Factory reset to start.
Pull battery. Replace.
Hold vol down.
Press power.
HOLD powerbutton.
When LG logo shows, let go of powerbutton 1x.
ONLY 1X needed.
Re depress power, stat.
Select yes 2x.
Boots into TWRP. Factory reset.
If aboce doesnt work wipe all but external sd
Reinstall preferred ROM.
profit?

Runtime Error bad argument#1 to 'abs' (number expected, got nil)

hello,
my note 4 has been working pretty good up until maybe a week ago, and then it started to randomly turn off and sometimes it would re-boot. other times pushing the home button it wouldnt awake, even thou the blue led lights was flashing like i had a message or notification, pushing any button would not awaken it, pushing and holding the power button would not turn it off, prompting me to pull the battery out. put the battery back in, push and hold the power button had no effect, having to volume down, home button, and push power button, and then volume down when prompted would boot the phone.
many times the phone would freeze, and pop up window would say X app has stopped working do you want to shut it down?, play store, samsung ui, various apps.
so, i googled my symptons, several suggestions suggested remove google play updates and then reinstall and update everything, that was last night. it casually freezed more and then it seemed to sort of work better last night and this morning. and just a few minutes ago, i had a new pop up screen "Runtime Error bad argument#1 to 'abs' (number expected, got nil)" as google is one of my loyal and usually helpful friends i asked it, to my surprise i found basically zilch. putting "Runtime Error bad argument#1 to 'abs'" inside quotation marks was limiting results, it didnt look like other phone users had had similar troubles.
i did see this hit "http://geco.mines.edu/guide/Run-Time_Error_Messages.html" lightly scanning over it made me think i was not looking in the correct place. as the word "intel" was mentioned a few times.
i found another page "https://github.com/layeh/gopher-luar/issues/1" as the title is similar to my issue "bad argument #1 to <function name> (userdata expected, got string)"
those with far more of an understanding of android and code, please assist...
thank you

More and unusual pop ups

nothing?
seems my phone has signed me out of google play
and has unrooted itself
many times the "Samsung UI has stopped working" pops up
i was hoping those with much more knowledge would have offered some suggestions.
i will back up all my data (in several different ways)
root my phone (again)
do a system re-format
and then re-install my apps and crap
crossing my fingers that that is all it needs... cause frankly i have no idea what, how, or why it recently crapped out. i suspect it was one of my apps, as the phone was working very well for several years, and within the last few days its all freezes and hangs, and occasionally crashes and reboots..

This morning I woke to find my phone looking like this

Galaxy s7 Edge launching Google assistant continuously, maybe a hardware failure?

Been a while since I had any issues with a phone I couldn't fix, but this is usually the best place to come when you run into something weird. Whilst I very much suspect that my phone has reached the end, there maybe something I can do if someone here has seen this before and managed to fix it.
A couple of days ago my phone started acting weird. Google assistant would start up for no apparent reason. Sometimes if I was in an app I'd just get a pop-up message but at other times I'd be taken to my home screen. The frequency came and went, but at it's worst it would happen every few seconds and would last for a good 5-10 minutes.
Thought it was just something weird in the OS so I booted back to the factory reset menu, wiped the cache and the system partition and started again. That didn't work. The start-iup process began with voice assistant turned on and every button click requiring activation and double clicking. I've since tried 5 factory resets.
I've disabled Google Assistant now and removed any updates. I've wiped out it's cache and tried all of the settings to make it stop so I no longer get Google Assisitant launching, but I do get something happening which asks me to "complete action using" and shows me the Samsung internet app, S Voice and Quick dial.
This is making me wonder if I'm looking at a hardware problem. I've switched everything off and given everything a good clean just in case one of the buttons has something stuck in it but that hasn't changed the situation.
If anyone here has any ideas or suggestions then they would be very gratefully received.
Thank you

Clean dalvik cache and update stock software through odin or custom rom may solve your problem

Thanks, will give it a go, forgot about the dalvik cache in the last reset so a good heads up. Will have to look into Odin, not had to use that in years.

Chrome weirdness/hanging?

I've had this Nokia 6.1 Plus since release and its getting more and more annoying, so reaching out in the hope that theres a fix.
What seems to happen is after a while, Chrome will start freezing up when browsing. The page will lock up and it wont respond to any inputs, then after 5, 10, 15 seconds it will wake up and come back to life. Then a few seconds later an OS level popup appears saying Chrome isnt responding and do i want to end task or wait.
It seems to start doing it more and more often and eventually it becomes almost unusable.
The fix at that point is to open the app settings, goto storage and hit clear cache. Cache incidentally is always just shy of 1GB. Then things get even weirder. Hitting clear cache basically causes the phone to lock up completely. It takes about 20mins in this frozen state and it will eventually reboot, and once its rebooted the cache for chrome shows up as empty, and everything works nicely again. If you try to use the phone while its "stuck" it sometimes reboots earlier, but then you find the cache isnt empty and you need to repeat the process. I've found just clicking clear cache and then leaving it alone the best way to fix it.
It feels almost as though its a storage issue. It "feels" like an old PC with a dodgy hard drive. At a guess i would say the cache probably has a 1GB limit, and the hanging is caused by the browser clearing some of the old cached items to make way for new ones, but for whatever reason that IO is taking a long time to complete.
Any ideas? I bought this phone as a bit of a compromise, the specs look decent on paper, it has a decent sized screen that fills the whole body (and i dont mind the notch) and it runs Android One, all of which were features i really wanted. However it doesnt support the correct 4G bands for my area (Vodafone UK) and doesnt have NFC, which is really quite annoying as i found android pay becoming more and more useful. Along with these freezeups its getting to the point i am going to start looking for something else.
Thanks

I haven't experienced any such issues myself, but in this recent reddit thread one of the commenters seems to think that there may be an issue with app caching on the latest update.

Certainly been happening for a lot longer with mine, at least 6 months.

Well, I'm sure you've heard this already, but have you tried a factory reset? I can't really think of anything else to try other than that or completely reflashing the stock rom.
