[Q] Causes of bootloop

What are the causes of bootloops and what are the possible solutions to fix this?
I was trying to combine Hyperion rom and JOYOS in order to get the great stability, speed and performance of Hyperion rom and the looks of JOYOS. After doing some experiment (just added and deleted some system apps e.g. messaging, calendar), then flashed it, the bootloop occurred. I want to create this rom in order to impress my girlfriend since she want an iPhone-like phone except Android. Please help me create this rom.

Well bootloops usually occur when u flash a wrong file or u didnt read the instructions...
And there are many ways too recover it like..
Take out your battery and place it back after 10 mins...
If that doesnt works then restore or use odin...
In your case i guess its something related to bootloader..

When u delete some important system files and script or install some incompatible script or change the build.prop it happens...
Boot loops isn't a big deal. Just go to Cwm then wipe data & cache and reinstall your rom.

bootloops are caused by a software misalignment or malfunction,
it is so large and vivid that i cant explain everything,
but the basic is any software modifications can cause bootloops,
and btw,
you can impress your girlfriend how android is better than iphone,
my girlfriend is a windows phone fan and i'm a android phone fan so we dont consolidate those issues that much, good thing we both hate iphone

Thanks for the replies everyone. She knows that android is better than iphone. She just wants the theme and the messaging application and such of iphone.

Clean custom rom to recommend?

Hi all,
I'm new to android & I'm equally frustrated about the lack of internal storage. I'm on a 16GB S4 I9505 & like many users, out of box storage is limited. I would like to know if there's a custom rom that works well despite being clean, smooth & allows better battery life than the stock JB 4.2.2.
I've tried using Titanium Backup to try removing bloatware like S Health & ChatOn but the list is too long to carry on removing one by one. Not mentioning I do not have much knowledge about android & am worried that if I removed the wrong app, might screw up the phone itself.
Therefore I'm searching for a clean custom rom which is debloated, runs smoothly & give me more battery life out of the device.
I tend to browse the Web, text, watch videos on YouTube & maybe just some games. Any recommendations would be welcomed & please help me by providing more information such as what bloatwares are removed etc as I might still need some of the basic apps.
Regards.

Try the CyanogenMod roms. They are fully clean and pretty fast. Before you flash it ,make a backup of your phone/ rom so you can switch back to it if you don't like it.
--edit: you can find those roms in the official galaxy s4 i9505 development forum.

Hi,
You have a choice of ME2 or ME3 stock slim-line de-bloated ROMS.

If you dont wanna loose ALL the samsung/touchwiz features then above is a good option.
If you like stock rom, BUT find its usually just a little to slow/bloated
And also like the ability to flash custom kernel/recovery then the rom's in the link posted above are really nice.
You could do all the things to the your base rom to make it the same as the ones in above posted link, but the 1 file flash via odin is so convenient for most.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
I kept reading about custom kernels etc but I'm not really sure what it does & which one is the better ones or best out there.

1.How to increase the internal memory of my galaxy y on this rom?i tried amarullz script but it just wont install on my phone(it worked when i used CM 11 and 9 though),i dont even know how to use a2sd and i dont like link2sd because it can only move apps to the sd card instead of increasing it.
2.Why is this rom's android version showed 4.3 jelly bean?isnt this is till on gingerbread since if it is,it would include a gapps?
3.Do this rom in any way,increases my phones performance?for example,running multiple applications at once like using a browser,calendar etc..etc?

1.I see...then please explain the 'other methods' because a 190mb of internal storage just isnt enough for me.
2,I tried both CM9(beta 5) and CM11(nightly),ive realized that even though it says android version 4.0.4 or 4.4.4,it can never really run any of the latest apps(force closes),i guess its because they are still in development?or is it because older devices just cant run the newer apps?
3.Mods?never heard of them,explanation please?
Sorry for asking again,and no offense for this but your answer isnt elaborated enough(sorry)

[any android version]lag reduced after this!

so i have android hd 3.0 installed and i realized that even after the update of lollipop, it still had a lil animation lag (oh LG, y u do dis)... i tried installing performance control and busy box but i think it didn't change the values at all..
searching for alternatives, i was browsing android script section and found this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360670
did flash it (after a backup of course). i dint had any idea whether script will work for lollipop,but i feel ui a bit better to be true with lags reduced( CAN BE PLACEBO EFFECT)
just try it as there is no harm in trying and uninstaller flashable is provided too.
and DO READ FULL OP as zip for CM based roms is different than of stock based roms.
PS-All work is by that dev , am just sharing for those who haven't tried it
PS2- do take nandroid backup(in case)

Interesting. My AnTuTu score went down by about 5000 but the actual phone seems to be much quicker.

On my D851 it did speed up the device quite a bit, but it disabled my ad blocking so I uninstalled it.. Too bad.

Fairly certain. I even changed the animations from .5x back to 1x. The phone appears snappier overall - a small, but noticeable difference, I would say.

[Debloat][Script][Custom-Rom/Stock] The Debloater - crush the bloatware!

wrote 2 simple scripts wich delete as many bloatware as possible without destabilize the system.
use with care, its your own fault if your phone is dead after use.
it should work on any Sony with any rom. Surely i can't prove rly any of them, so don't bother me if there are some apps still alive or the script is doing "to much", i wrote them like i would like to use, so be careful

No change on script, just a fix for Android 4.4.4 and below
I strongly recommend to use the scripts only on fresh installed roms, so no fc can occure and no "thrash" could be left.

Hello,
This looks like a very effective & easy to use patch! Everything is written, it's so simple. I'll try it for sure. Thank you for your good work!

Thanks for job , but very big list . Please make light version else . I recommend freeze apps at first ( in custom rom only freeze , not delete) . You can get unstable system . Imho.

Well, I tried it and I think it's a bit extreme... No home launcher and quick settings tile... You should make a light version indeed.

Home launcher should still work. And everything i can say is in the opener already. But i will take a look at.
