[Q] AOSP Paradise

intalled AOSP Paradise and gapps on my defy(green lense) and everything seems to be working great except:
1. everytime i turn my phone off when i turn it back on the Mokee logo comes up 1st and then it loads AOSP fine but i have to re-enter all my google info
2. it doesn't save any of my settings.
3. it wont let me download any apps...they start downloading but just sit there downloading and if they do finish, it says cant install, not enough memory but i reformatted the sd partition in recovery before installing AOSP because i knew it didnt have enough memory to even install it.
4. Why does that Mokee screen come on still?
i had the Mokee ROM before but shouldnt that have gone away when i wiped data and cache?
Did i do something wrong on install? i did wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, flashed ROM, flashed gapps, wipe dalvik cache and rebooted twice. it loads fine and everything seems to be working but i dont like having to start from scratch everytime i turn my phone on.
Help pls...frustrating

Try clean install as said in this thread.

Make sure you flash new rom before rebooting

Flash SBF and then Flash new ROM

ok that fixed boot screen but not the redoing of google, downloading apps or saving settings...any other suggestions?:fingers-crossed:
i figured it out! i was missing the firmware from when i bricked it...so, i found a firmware file, flashed it and now it works like a charm!! yay

Moved to Q&A. Please ask all questions there.

[Q] Help - Defy is stuck in bootloop

Hello
I've tried to upgrade my Defy (525, green lens) to CM10(jelly bean), but im stuck in a boot loop!
My phone had originally Android 2.1 installed, one year ago i successfully rooted it and Android 2.2 successfully.
What i've tried:
- load into 2nd init, wipe cache/wipe data
- install kernel-froyo-222-179-4-signed
- install CM10-20120924-NIGHTLY-mb525
- wipe dalvik cache(this does not promp for confirm, and prints nothing to the console, is this normal?), wipe data
- reboot. Now its stuck in an endless boot loop.
I can enter bootmenu/bootloader/2nd init/stable recovery. I can share here the SD card, so i can copy stuff to my phone
But as i turn on the phone, the red moto logo appears, the top LED is blue, then green, then reboot.
Did i miss something? (I've read somewhere about flashing SBF, do i need to do it?)
EDIT: I've tried to install cm-7-20120930-NIGHTLY-jordan.zip, but this gets stuck at the moto logo forever...Can i someohw see the bootlogs to fund out the problem?
Thanks
EDIT2: Solved it!
1. installed back Nordic froyo with RSD lite, rooted again
2. instaaled CM7 with this tut: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054447
3. installed CM10 with the instructions from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795647
dunno what went wrong for the 1st time, maybe upgrading from 2.2->4.1 does not work...

What went wrong
You have answered yourself. In the link to install Cm10, you will see the instruction requires you to flash froyo kernel.
For MB525 builds:
1) Go to Stable Recovery.
2) Wipe data/factory reset, wipe Cache and go to Advanced ► Wipe dalvik.
3) Go to install zip from sdcard ► Choose zip from sd card.
4) Flash froyo kernel
5) Flash CM10-2012xxxx-NIGHTLY-mb525.zip.
6) Flash Gapps.
7) Wipe Cache and Dalvik again (recommended).
8) Restart.

[Q] Defy MB525 CM10 Black screen, Can't wipe dalvik cache

Hi,
I come with a maybe unusual problem. Every other rom works with me Defy (T-mobile) except the CMX by Quarx. I tried different versions (6-8), and all of them give this:
-Wipe factory, cache, dalvik
-Install CM10, Gapps
-Reboot
-Phone hangs with black screen with the red led (which is normal at 2nd boot right?)
After that, if I want to downgrade to CM9, or CM7.2 I can't wipe dalvik cache. When I click on the option in CWM, it does not give me the no no no no yes no no options. Nothing happens. The screen refreshes itself like I just entered the advanced menu in CWM. I have to restore Éclair, than go to Froyo, then to Gingerbread etc. with RSD lite, then reroot, all of the stuff to get my phone working after this. I've got tired of this, and i don't know why this bug happens. I followed the instructions well -as far as i know-. I tried to install it from CM7.2, and from CM9.
The strange thing is, if it means something: It looks like my phone is losing permission for system (?), because if i try to revert back from CM10 to CM9, and reboot, it gives: Error. Encryption unsuccessful for CM9, and CM7 does not even boot. If i reboot to CWM, I can't wipe dalvik cache again. What could cause the glitch in not being able to wipe dalvik cache?
My previous CM7.2 is Euroskank gigglebread, which is a pretty good ROM.

Hi Buddy,
I had the same problem while trying CM10, The only solution worked for me is to flash back to Stock ROM. Once you have the stock ROM back.. You can root it again.. with CM7 or 9..
I should work.. as It worked for me.. I am on CM9 on my moto defy plus
Cheers
Smit

Because no one can count what you has done in the device I suggest to start from beginning and in correct order. (flash sbf., root, install 2ndinit....

Why do u flash eclair?..start from froyo 2.2 deblur sbf...

I flash Éclair when all fails, because if I flash Froyo with RSDLite over any newer ROM then Gingerbread the device goes bootloop and the rsdlite can't repair it, but with Éclair I can.. I'm still waiting for some answer about why can't I just simply flash CM10 over CM7 or CM9? Why does it gives me bootloop and red led freeze? It also loses permission to wipe dalvik cache, which, imo is a very important information, and someone probably knows why, but I don't..
So, Questions are here:
-Is it connected to BL version? (The redled freeze/bootloop with 2nd-boot CM10 only)
-How do I check BL version? (Now i have CM9 Epsylon, if it matters)
-How come the phone freezes on red led (2nd-boot) and restarts, when I had no problem installing any other ROM?
-What can cause 2nd-boot not to work?
-How can I roll back to Éclair, but not Froyo/ICS (stock froyo flash with RSD Lite -> gives bootloop, CM7 won't start/CM9 Encryption unsuccesful)
Notes:
-After failed CM10 installation I can't wipe Dalvik cache, reinstalling ( without flashing Éclair -> Froyo -> GB -> root etc.and CM7/CM9.) CM9 gives the "Encryption unsuccesful" error, CM7 won't start (ever), I still can't wipe Dalvik!
-Every other GB, ICS ROM except CM10 (JB) works perfectly fine
-I can only repair it with starting all over again from Éclair (an issue with something about you can't rollback from GB to Froyo cancels other options)

edit: no ideas so far?

For camera issue, flash banks minimal package gapps, for bootloop: have you tried holding the power button till it powers off and then power it on again? Hope I could help

Full Wipe ? What Build have you Flashed ?
On my Find5 it Works fine ! > Better than CM11

Not able to boot on a clean install- i9300 with TWRP 2.8.6.1

Hello,
Trying to install latest PA 'pa_i9300-5.1-20150528.zip' on Galaxy S3 i9300 using TWRP 2.8.6.1.
Zip installs faster, shows no error.
I select the reboot option, it reboots and sits on PA loading logo
I have been using CM12.1 by JustArchi for some time, thought of giving PA a try.

same here, Im also flashing with TWRP2.8.6.1
The pa_i9300-5.1-20150520 version runs well. But the pa_i9300-5.1-20150528 doesnt. It goes directly to TWRP.
wipe, format, factory reset, redownload rom, reflash,.... dont solve.
The same happens when upgrading from Paranoid_OTA app =/

Same here.
But i'm surprised, you say the pa_i9300-5.1-20150520 run well on your I9300 ?
Can you tell me how you managed to make it work ?
I tried a full swipe then install, didn't had any luck, tried differents gapps with no success.
Can you tell me wich Gapps you use please ?

I had tried 'pa_i9300-5.1-20150520.zip' also, it showed the same behavior.
I don't flash gapps on the first go, I boot with just the rom and later reboot into recovery and load all the zips.

I ve just followed a tutorial on the internet.
Boot into TWRP, Format, Wipe Cache/Dalvik/System, Install PA, Install GApps, Wipe Cache/Dalvik, and reboot.
And mine is the 5.1.x mini package from there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/paranoid-android/general/5-1-x-5-0-x-4-4-x-pa-gapps-mirror-t3069879

Unable to BOOT
I did a clean installation of PA 5.1 dated 12/6/15. Gapps did well too. Phone reboots and enters CWM again.. did multiple times but it always jumps to CWM. Any guidance Senior Members.

Pretty sure you have to flash a kernel

Having exactly the same problem. I can only get the original 5.1 ROM from may to work, but none of the updates. Tried formatting system, cache, dalvik and even tried flashing the boot.img inside the zip file. No luck ?.

You need to flash a different kernel. The boot.img that ships with the rom keeps getting bored during the build it would appear.
This is covered extensively in the g+ community

Thank you for the advice. :good:
It worked with Boeffla Kernel 12.1 alpha 3 (but the latest ones did not)

pa_i9300-5.1-20150520.zip works!

pa_i9300-5.1-20150520.zip works indeed after wipe: dalvik, cache, data, system. then format.
when it successfully boots, restart into recovery and make backup of only "boot" to external_sd.
then format again and factory reset, then install latest zip (pa_i9300-5.1-20150704.zip).
before reboot first restore "boot" from backup.
