Hi all, i have been having a very bazaar problem lately...When my phone boots up i get a pop-up message indicating that the gapps process shutdown unexpectedly...and sometimes i may even get a acore crash too. Applications from the market do not download...when i select my download i will end up getting a gapps crash and then the supposed download just sits there saying "starting...". Google talk doesn't even open! It will just say that the process quit unexpectedly. Even after a fresh install with factory data reset all these problems will continue. The initial boot up screen/tutorial will even show a gapps crash. I have tried with 3 different versions of cyanogenmod all with the exact same problem..Each version i've tried with a2sd enabled and disabled, formatting the partition each time before a new install to ensure no data carry-over issues. I don't know what to do. To me it seems like it make be something on googles side...but i can't for the life of me figure out whats causing these wild problems. Help would be very much appreciated.
ANDROID Market problems
I've recently had the same problem with the market getting stuck on "starting download". I thought it was something I modified as I'm putting together a STARGATE theme of my own based on kron2's work with this site and the theme for "Open Home" for DWANG's newest ROM. What worked for me was going back 1 restore point at a time till I found one that didn't have the problem (NANDROID backup). I also had luck with flashing DWANG's original unmodified ROM 1.17.1. I had the same problem when I flashed 1.16 ..weird. Up till 2 days ago I didn't have any problems changing anything in it. Others have said that they tried opening G-Talk at the same time and some how going between the 2 the problem would right itself. If you find out anything definite about what the exact problem is let me know as I'm going to keep looking for the answer myself.

I have searched and it seems many people have the Market/Gtalk problem.
I have the same problem (with an Eclair 2.1 Cyanogenmod rom) and I've not been able to find a solution. Wiping the cache makes nothing.
Anyone knows how to solve it?
Huh. I had a problem with the market at first with cyan 5.0.8 . I went in the terminal and ran fix_permissions after su and haven't had any problems since. Might try that

i had been flashing a bunch of roms and discoverd that i preferred the usa stock rom best, so i reflashed the stock rom and now the start button/home display wont. i cant use the btutton/the home display never appears..what do i have to do to fix/ does anybody know what's wrong?
Edit: actually i think i figured it out, it was the facebook tab cab i was attempting to install, after i installed that the home screen wouldn't work anymore. i hard resetted and tried again to install the cab but it happened again so im just going to delete it. but thanks anyways guys!
I am writing on this thread as i still cannot add to the development thread yet
I am using Elelinux-7.0.0-Hero-v2.0. Thanks Ele for a great rom.
So far the only problem i have had is once the unlock screen went invisible on me.
I had to use the patch which worked fine. no black screen. everything else works great so far.
Just trying to contribute to the developers what i can to help.
Any one else has any issue yet.
Elelinux-7.0.0-Hero-v2.0
RADIO VERSION:63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03
Kernel: Herokernel-12a
I've had the same issue with the lockscreen but like yourself it was a once off.
Generally the ROM is great (however, this is the first ROM that I've flashed to my hero)
The only other issue im getting is with linking facebook with my contacts; for some reason FB keeps crashing. But keep in mind that I'm a retard in comparison to what you lads know about custom roms etc..... but slowly learning!

same problems
I have had the same problems as you. lock screen went invisible a couple of times. and my facebook does not work quite right.
Apart from that has been very stable. no problems or reboots. works great.
Running gingerbread with honeycomb theme on my hero. running at 691mhz is well good.
I have got widgets running on every screen to.
Elelinux RC4 version 7.0 V2.0
kernel 12a
691mhz
clockworkmod.
Thanks Ele for a great rom
After installed 2.0 patch, I still get blank screen (wall paper ok, no any widgets).
The only way to solve is restart
Any thing wrong with my installation? (same spec as above post)
The Bug seems to affect some phones and not others. Might be due to different hardware but not sure.
I am a network engineer. Not a developer.
There is a patch that fixes the black screen bug which might help. You might have to delete dalvik cache first though. But as said not a developer.
I just wanted to try some different roms and loaded cronos rom yesterday and is very good. So running that at the moment.
It is really fast and stable. The fastest i have used so far. But i have not tested everything yet like GPS. But admit i am becoming a cronos fan.
Cheers.
P.s i always backup my phone first and do a complete wipe before trying a new rom. Otherwise could get problems.
I use clockwork mod.
Unfortunately the bug your getting with black screens, invisible menus etc.. is an aosp bug that affects some devices which Google are unable to fix, if you had read through the thread you would have seen this. Ele is working hard on a fix for this but as CM no longer support the hero, its unlikely many cm7 roms will see many updates.

Everyone is hoping that Google will fix the memleak and invisible manus problem. To fix it, one needs to undersatand the big picture on how these things are managed. I think it can be done only by experienced coder.
It's a real shame. i love gingerbread and did not want to go back to 2.1 or 2.2.
But might have to if they do not fix it.
I know Ele is working hard on a fix. using his rom at the moment. Was using cronos. But suddenly started getting random reboots and battery started only lasting a few hours and could not find out why.
Thanks to all devs and help.
Elelinux 7.0 v2.1 GPS reboot issue
Hi all,
I found Elelinux 7.0 v2.1 to be almost perfect.
The only major issue so far for me is that when running applications such as sportstracker that use GPS and are running in the background, that as soon as the GPS connection is lost (for whatever reason) the phone always seems to crash.
I wonder whether anyone else has seen this issue and whether there's a way to investigate it.
E.g. is it possible ot redirect logcat to the sdcard and then analyze the log file?
Regards,
MJ
Her0 V2.1 - USB problem
This is a weird one...
I flashed to Elelinux 's fab 2.1 the usual way....
I booted into the ClockworkMod Recovery V2.5.0.7
-- wipe cache partition
-- Advanced - Wipe Dalvik Cache
-- reboot
Then again within Clockwork Recovery I choose 'Install zip from sdcard'
I select the Hero rom and it flashes perfectly...
Now the problem ----> I cant get the usb port working to enable transfer of files?
When the phone boots up it shows 'preparing sd card'
Then when i connect usb lead to pc it shows 'usb connected'
When i then pull the screen down, i see 'usb connected - select to copy files to/from your computer'
When i select that tab, it just crashes back to the home page?
I see the icon at the top of the screen but when i pull down the screen and select as above, it crashes back to home screen again?
In settings, i have both USB debugging and USB debugging notify - all enabled.
Can anyone provide a solution to this issue for me..
thank you
The only way around this problem i think is to mount usb storage from recovery.

Hello everybody i have tried all diffrent approach to solve this problem i have.
The problem is when applying a lockscreen wallpaper on the PA rom it always gets cutted so that half the background is the lockscreen wallpaper
and the other half is the main background. I have already tried reinstall the rom , wiped system cache etc. I also once restored everything back to stock with toolkit. Then rooted it again and installed a fresh PA rom again and same thing there.
Any thoughts whats causing this?
Hello all and I hope you all had a fab Christmas!
Yesterday for the first time my Nexus4 told me that my ROM is no longer cool. It also told me there is a new ROM in town, better and slicker. I decided to try it out. Custom ROM downloaded the new ROM for me and then I wiped out my PA 3.99. Did a cache wipe and a factory reset. Installed the new ROM which was downloaded into the PARANOIDOTA folder. Now comes the funny part. I got two messages one that there is a problem with google play and another that there is a problem with services or something like that. All this messages preventing me to use the phone while I could clearly see the massive soft keys in the background. Clicking ok on these messages wouldn't do anything as they will switch from one to the other. I rebooted and cleared again and reinstalled again with the same result. Can anyone share some light why it didn't work?
I mention that I used CMR v6.0.4.3
Thanks!
I think you needed to flash KitKat gapps after flashing the new rom
