"Android is Updating" on Every Boot - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried searching for a fix to the "Android is Updating" on Every Boot problem with no avail.
I am rooted on stock and have tried to uninstall and reinstall TBP. This did not solve the problem. I read something about moving odex files around in the /data/app but there are only apk's
I have Currents, Earth, Magazine, iWnn, Picasa and Set-up Wizard frozen.

Have you run any scripts for "supercharging" or similar?

your dalvik is getting wiped on every boot. its either the rom, kernel, mod, or a root app that you enabled it in.

Did you have disabled/frozen apps then done a davlik cache clearance ?
if so try enabling them and maybe reset davlik again.

That much I have gathered from looking around for a solution. Stock rom (rooted), 3.4.0-perft-ge039dcb kernal and I used the wugfresh toolkit for rooting

yup, and that didn't fix the issue

I have the same on my N4 and N7.
On the N4 I didn't freeze any application, on N7 Currents is frozen.
I am wondering whether this happens because I integrated sys Dalvik into ROM with Titanium Backup

Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

yes. its either a mod that you flashed(sound mod, or a supercharger script, etc..), the kernel youre using, or a root app that you use, that has an option that you have enabled.

I haven't installed a sound mod. I don't think I have a supercharger script
I am using kernel 3.4.0-perf-g7ce11cd (if that says anything)
Root app?
Could you help break this down for me a bit more simms? I'm not a complete newb but let's just say I am FAR from being a pro lol

na, i was looking for an init.d folder. that means its not a script that was set into that folder. is it a custom kernel that you are using, or just the stock kernel that comes with the stock rom? do you use anykind of root only apps that have multitudes of options to change things around? are you willing to try another rom or kernel?

Kernel is custom i believe.
Root only apps? Yes, TB is one of them (which I uninstalled to see if that was causing the problem). ROM Manager (which I just uninstalled as well), BusyBox, SuperSU and Online Nandroid.
Rooted but stock, no custom ROM. I don't mind trying out a new ROM and kernel if that is going to solve the annoying issue

rom manager has such an option(wipe dalvik) i believe.
1. you can try to factory reset, then reboot after booted up, before installing any apps(make a nandroid backup in your recovery first, so you can restore it if needed).
2. try a different kernel. if still happening, try a different rom.
3. rom manager is one of my most hated apps :angel:

I did a couple of factory resets a few months ago when I was having camera/gallery issues. I had no apps installed (aside from those that came with the phone) and was getting the annoying "android is upgrading" message.
I've read good things about the Franco Kernel and found this site with a few options but I am not sure which one to flash. Any suggestions?
I've learned to dislike it myself and hence why I just uninstalled it a few

ok, so if its doing it, without any app installed, nor rom manager, and the rom is completely stock, then the chances are that its the kernel. btw, i highly recommend the rasbean jelly rom. its very clean, with only added mods(not everything plus the kitchen sink), and very highly praised by many. if you want a stock experience, with a few additions, rasbean is great.

[CWM][DEODEXED][ROOTED][ZIPALIGNED] I897UCKI2 [Android 2.3.5]

At the suggestion of others, I put this in its own thread.
First of all, credit goes to Watsa for his work on Pinnacle. The ROM I posted yesterday was built with the Android kitchen and somehow was breaking WiFi (and root). So I used the Android kitchen to just deodex /app and /framework this time around and merged that into Pinnacle 1.3. This is not Pinnacle based by any means (ot Pinnacle tweaks or UI, etc.), I just used it to embed the ROM with rooting capabilties and edited the update script slightly.
Everything is stock here besides removing AT&T bloat, deodexing, zip-aligning, and root. The kernel and modem are stock I897UCKI2. There are NO BOOTLOADERS within this ZIP. So you must be running a Gingerbread ROM already.
I am running it right now with WiFi and root working. I was able to use TiBu to restore 90+ apps as well.

Nice work emuneee.
And on a side... checked out ur website---very good stuff there as well.
is this the exact same CWM version that was in the body of the other I897UCKI2 thread?
Nice work. Thanks for putting this together. Unfortunately, my office firewall blocks the server you uploaded it to. If anyone can put in on a dropbox I would really appreciate it.

In setup, make sure that you enable debug mode, unknown apps. Works great for me. I injected boogs 1 kernel, then booted and flashed the K1 K2 boogs kernel with init.d. I also injected the attached battery mod for a circle battery, just cant handle the stock battery. I can't seem to get that Powermenu that has been posted to work though.

Awesome! +10char
[ edit/update ]
I get it. It's flash-able via CWM (which isn't possible on STOCK 2.3.x -->d'oh.)
I flashed Pinnacle ROM on my i897 (which has CWM v4x included -- sweet), saw how awesome it is; and flashed it to my wife's (Mrs. metalchef) i897 immediately (funny how there's no CWM or rooting method for 2.3.x, yet all the ROMs based off of this release come pre-rooted & incl CWM...I don't get it)
She has since commented on how fast this ROM is (vs say... FastyIIv2, which is what I had flashed to her device previously).
sorry for the silly post. derrrr
I can haz CWM.
Glad it seems to be working for everybody!
metalchef said:
Since this is in .zip format, how am I to apply/flash this to my device? (All I'm looking for here is su/root capabilities with 2.3.x)...is this not meant to be used by non-devs?

If your phone is already running a Gingerbread Rom, just flash it using CWM recovery.

Nexus 7 PA 2.12 Wifi issues..

Posting here as I'm a noob, and consequently can't post to the P.A page directly.
Since this 2.12 update i've been having wifi issues, like from where i am positioned normally I get 1 bar, but its a steady one bar, now i'm often finding i have no internet connection in the same places as i would before.
I did do a dirty flash, so that is most probably where all my problems are arising from, but i'm still really new to this, and any step i take, i worry and fret over.
had some tablet ui bugs after running games, along with all applications running twice when i open recent apps. I don't know where why or when this recent apps double bug occurs, but i've come across it a few times. I believe the tablet ui bug may be related to when i set bobclock (widget) to force, adjusted the size on restart, but then would encounter the icons dropped off bottom of screen, and everything just out of place, like its reverted to old ui.
oh another issue, which has been mentioned many times before, is inability to use google play store, i've fiddled with all the different dpi settings and size, nothing seems to work.
a clean wipe would include
backing up apps/data/p.a sys pref(?)
wiping
cleaning cache's
flashing the same 2.12 p.a zip i dirty flashed before
caches again? or gapps
any dumbing down would be greatly appreciated

if doing a dirty flash, when reinstalling gapps, do i have to have deleted them prior to this? or will it just replace/update the old files?
No, you don't need to. Just wipe both caches and install the new version and gapps.

Wouldn't Kernel be more specifically tied to WiFi issues? I don't know what PA does to the kernel they include, but if your up to it, you could try another kernel, like franco.Kernel
Oh. Yes. i've been on that page and have trolled through a few hundred pages.
I think I just need to become a bit more familiar with everything in regards to roms flashing and such, its not difficult but i fear i'm sure to do something in the wrong order,
yes i've read guides before you point me there.
gosh this 5 min wait timer for new people is getting on my nerves i didn't think i'd be wanting to reply so fast, but when you guys are on it like this, i can't turn down that kinda service!
another question while i wait for my timer to finish.
initially i flashed pa. 2.11 then gapps along with doing cache business.
since then i flashed 2.12, but not gapps, and consequently having issues with play store (cant open)
can i just go to flashing 2.13 when it finishes downloading and then flash gapps after?
is the latest gapps jb-20120726-signed?

a kernel is one of these things i have no clue about.
i had a mac many years ago, and that got a kernel error, so my knowledge is limited to that its something root related, or there abouts anyway xd
How does one go about implementing one of these kernel do-hickeys?
on a side note, my wireless icon used to show grey and blue.
blue meant connected, grey, i'm not sure.. sometimes worked sometimes didn't
ever since going to 2.12 i've had nothing but grey, seem to have connection as i am downloading from goo, but as mentioned in initial post, connection is definately worse than it was before hand.. any ideas?

Sorry I took a while, I was in class. First, you always have to reflash gapps when you flash an update or a new ROM.
When you change to a different ROM (i.e. from Slim Bean to Paranoid) it's recommended to do a full wipe/factory reset before flashing the new ROM.
So the procedure for new ROMs is this. Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, flash ROM, flash gapps, reboot.
The procedure for a ROM update is the same, you just omit the factory reset.
The latest gapps is gapps jb-20120810. You can download it in Goo manager.

A kernel is what governs your CPU clock speeds and voltage levels, as well as some other things. To flash a kernel, you don't have to wipe anything, just flash the zip file. Whenever you flash a new ROM, it changes your kernel to whatever is stock for that ROM. So if you use a custom kernel, you will have to reflash it.

p.a 2.13
might anyone have any idea why after;
wiping both cashes and installing p.a 2.13 then gapps
my youtube comes up with an error from the beginning, unable to start, same goes for if you click it in the app drawer.
i fiddled about with dpi size force and such, but to no avail.
some settings transferred but not all, like the ui, after switching ui back to what i wanted, tab small/mid
i started to recieve trebuchet has stopped working, this keeps popping up but you can just leave it in the back ground and work around it..
wish i could post this in the correct thread..
ah well.
thinking of just re-flashing them both, will do whatever i did this previous time, see if the error returns.
edit: just finished the reflashing of both, no trebuchet error as expected, the youtube one is back, same as the previous flash.
i really don't think i've done anything wrong, but i haven't seen anyone else reporting this error..
edit edit: simple uninstall and reinstall for youtube and problem solved.
hope its an issue localised to me.

Yeah I would reflash. It could also be a corrupted download, try re-downloading paranoid android 2.13 and then flashing the newer zip to see if that fixes it.

Debloating CM 10.2

Well like some of you might have seen on my other threads I'm planning to set up a minimal phone Rom with cm 10.2 and gapps.

Will they come back when I update to the next nightlie or stay away ?

oh.. if they have the script that saves gapps, then yea they will still be there. if they arent using the script that saves gapps, then you have to flash them every time. but if you delete system apps that arent part of the gapps package but part of the rom, then they will come back after every rom flash.
Someone posted a flashable zip file that run a script to remove defined files, but I don't know the thread.
Instead of using nightlies, just use snapshots and stable builds so you don't have to worry about it often.

Let's say there are 20+ apks, lib.so, ringtones to remove and you want to flash a set of files to the rom as well. It's much faster.

I know, but then I have to navigate to /system/lib, /system/media and /system/tts/ to delete files, then i have to copy files to /system/app, /system/lib, /system/media/, system/usr/, /system/audio, and /system/etc and edit the boot.prop, but I just drag and drop on my computer for that for now.

Sorry, made a mistake during a quick reply, but you can try the 2nd link I gave, or here: http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=cm10&device=gapps It's the same package as from goo.im, which is currently having downtime.

Q: How does OpenDelta auto updater work?
AA1973 said:
At first, OpenDelta will check if a Rom Zip is available on your device. If OpenDelta doesn't find it, it will download a Rom. (~170mb) From then, it will only download the difference (delta) and patches the initial Rom zip within internal SD /OpenDelta. Then, after the patch, the Rom zip will be around 280mb, as it is uncompressed.

Q: Why does OpenDelta freeze from time to time when trying to update the ROM?
@Chainfire is still working on it:
Chainfire said:
FYI, people still suffering from the OTA updater freezing mid-verify, mid-download or mid-patch, we've found a lot of way how it didn't get fixed Putting the sdcard handling code in debug mode gets rid of the problem, but obviously we don't want to do that in production, eh!

Q: How can I get Samsung stock apps like S-note?
se1988 said:
Go back to Stock ROM or search play store for whatever your needs are. You'll probably find something that's better than Samsung apps anyway. If you're still wondering - OmniRom will not and can never support Samsung stock apps.

Q: How can I get soft keys / navigation bar?
AA1973 said:
Soft keys aka navigation bar
Edit build.prop (use preferred ROM Toolbox lite/pro or a suitable root file explorer)
Add the following line at the end:
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
You'll get navigation bar / soft keys and the desired layout of lockscreen.

HOW TO INSTALL
XpLoDWilD said:
First time installing OmniROM to your Galaxy Note, or coming from another ROM:
- Read known issues and FAQs
- Make sure you're running a proper working ClockworkMod-Recovery - WITH SELINUX SUPPORT!
- Copy GApps and OmniROM ZIPs to your SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash OmniROM zip from SDCard
- Flash GApps zip from SDCard
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)
- Reboot
- Don't restore system data using Titanium Backup!
- Restoring Apps + Data might cause problems and is not recommended, avoid it if possible!
Upgrading from earlier version of OmniROM:
- Copy the OmniROM ZIP to your SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash the OmniROM zip from SDCard
- Reboot

General probs I have with Rom
_
I would love to use this rom as my daily driver but due to some issues I have reverted to my previous setup slimsabre.
Phone gets very hot whilst charging - but charges at acceptable rate. I have replaced battery but still same.
Sometimes phone gets very hot even when not in use - I could not find any reason even looking at better batt stats and cpu spy - tried reinstalling rom and gapps only and this still happened - Phone would just become very hot to hold at some random time.
Any help on this appreciated as I do not know what is causing this.

having really bad battery drain.. using latest raw kernel.. any suggestions? maybe another supported kernel with better batterylife?

If you got the new battery cheap off eBay or similar it's a good chance that it's fake. I've had a couple of those, heating up to the point where you're afraid of damages.
Sent from my phone using some app
When I first installed Omni my phone stayed hot for ages. It turned out that Google+, which normally I do not use and have frozen on previous ROMs, was going absolutely nuts doing some sort of background sync and downloading truckloads of data. The app was running in the background for over an hour with the CPU cores pretty much maxed out. Maybe your problem is the same. Maybe not. Eventually G+ finished its evil work and the phone performance and temperature returned to normal.
I ran with the ROM for a few days and it seemed stable, but I've actually reverted to Samsung's latest stock ROM as KitKat really wasn't doing it for me. Basically I saw no tangible benefits but did lose some convenient features and interface changes were definitely a backward step with Omni. Maybe when it's matured and ART is working fully I'll take another run at it.

Omni kernel(with SD access) was only available after flashing ROM since 12th Dec nightly, so it depends what rom you're on right now. Or perhaps you flashed Raw Kernel over it?
I would advise you to do a clean install. There's no other kernel available right now for 4.4 But it should work.

i solved it by flashing the Google keyboard from the pa gapps thread.
rebooting the device after clearing the aosp keyboard data didn't work.
the Google keyboard has no difference over the aosp one but has a working gesture typing.
you could do that too
-download Google keyboard zip
-reboot to recovery
-flash the zip
-clear cache and dalvik cache
-reboot
-select Google keyboard from settings->language and input
done
hope it helps

"Nothing is true" "Everything is permitted"
Guys, a little confused here,
is openDelta already integrated into the 12/15 Nightly?
if so, then why is it trying to download the whole ROM?
I think the first time we use it, it Downloads the entire ROM and then the next time it checks hashes and then only downloads updated files...
please clarify, as I thought It only downlods changed files and checks hash for that.
thought downloading fails midway, tried almost 7-8 times now,
I already increased the screen time on to 30 minues, what else can I do to get it downloaded completely
Unhappy slow charging and poor battery life.. over heating while using mobile interne
First of all many thanks for developing such a good rom. everything is upto the mark the only critical issue i am facing is very very slow charging, and along with very poor battery life i am using build of 12-12-2013. i charge my phone to 100% (it takes almost 6hrs) and it drains within 1hr (normal usage). Also i tried with two other new batteries as well same issue.
And there is one more issue whenever we change the music (forward/play-pause) using headset screen automatically turns on. Screen also turns on automatically sometimes without going on anything.
Phone over heats while running multiple application or using internet
Screen brightness is way to high on automatic setting mode even though i adjusted it with the flux response settings, in the settings of phone.
Guys please help me out i don't know much abt anroid programming and bug fixing please.
gps fix
I had a problem when I wanted to use google map for navigation, I never managed to get a gps fix. (The real problem isn't the first fix but after, it never moove on map)
Does that work for you?

For battery drain. Install better battery stats as system app (settings > advanced) which you can find on xda. Check which app and service is driving your phone nuts.

Apps crash all the time

Hi all,
I have a Galaxy Note 3 with the latest Resurrection Remix ROM installed. Installed the ROM with a clean flash and everything was working fine (I thought...). Now, every time apps crash. For instance: when I want to upload a video on Instagram, everything works fine but when I hit the ''cut'' button to cut the video, it crashes. Every time at the exact same moment. Same goes for Snapchat when I want to upload a photo or video, it immediately crashes. I have installed the ROM multiple times, I have reinstalled the apps, but nothing works. I'm not using exessive amounts of RAM, so that's not the problem either. I don't see other people with the same ROM having these problems, so I really don't know where to look for a solution. Hoping you guys could provide me with an answer!
Edit: also worth noticing: my phone automatically restarts at least 3 times a day when I'm in the middle of something (like writing a message in WhatsApp).. Never found a solution for that either!
Thanks in advance!

You can find Kernel threads also in Development Forum. Make sure to flash Kernel Cleaner zip file before changing back to stock Kernel. You can flash Kernel zips via recovery. (search the Kernel Thread)
