[Q] Problems with Process System on PA 3.98

Hi!
I recently updated my ROM to the Paranoid Android 3.98, I did a full wipe, flashed the ROM, latest Gapps (with TWRP) and ever since the tablet has been become really laggy on opening apps or doing anything. I realised something was wrong straight after I booted it up by how long it was taking to connect to the WIFI etc.
Anyway, its hanging a lot on the unlock screen and sometimes I get a "Process System is not Responding" prompt. I've tried going back into recovery and clearing the caches/data again and its still hanging. Ive also tried using CWM recovery to wipe the tablet, flash the ROM/Gapps etc and its still really slow. Lastly, I just tried a factory reset from the settings menu and again, its still the same!
Any ideas on whats up with it and how to sort it out? I was thinking about unrooting it back to stock although I think the problem will still probably happen. I came from the PA 3.95 build and did a clean flash.
Cheers!
Chris

I think I have fixed it by following a post by Chasmodo on how to do a super-clean install.
1) I booted into recovery.
2) Did the three wipes (Data, Cache, Dalvik) several times over.
3) Went to Mount & Storage and formatted both system & cache*.
4) Flashed PA 3.98 & latest PA-Gapps.
5) Wiped both caches again and rebooted.
As soon as connecting WIFI, signing into Google I could tell it was running a lot faster again and now the lag on the unlock screen & opening apps seems to have stopped, also haven't had the "System Process isn't Responding since."
*Chasmodos version of the super-clean install didn't say to format the cache as well although I had tried just formatting the system and it didn't fix the issue. So I thought I'd try the same process with a cache format as well and now all issues seem to have been rectified.
Cheers

[Q] S5 Reflash - acore has stopped working REBOOTS

Hi
I reflashed my S5 with a stock rom to remove all the Carrier blocks and extras. After the flash the device booted up and instantly came up with the error saying acore has stopped working and then around around 5-10 seconds the phone reboots and does it again. What can I do?
Thanks

Data factory reset in recovery.

It's hard to answer since you provided no crucial details about your phone, configuration or how you flashed it.
You didn't tell us which S5 model you have or your carrier. Nor what firmware file you flashed, so we don't know if it was a compatible file. No Odin log, so we don't know if the flash had errors or not. And you didn't describe how you flashed step by step so we don't know if you missed essential steps.
At a guess, try wiping the partition cache from recovery mode. Then if necessary, do a factory data reset as well (will delete user files!). If you have ongoing problems, then you should restore your backup and try again from that stable condition.
No backup? That is a bad habit to say the least. In that case, flash a full stock firmware image that matches the carrier that the phone was originally sold for.

The Model is SM G900F. Its On Three Carrier. I Flashed A STOCK (From SamMobile) Firmware 4.2.2.
The Flash Process Was Successful. No Errors.
Put Device In Download Mode
Connected To Computer
Loaded Firmware Into PDA
Ftime reset
Auto Reboot
Started The Flashing.
Completed.
Phone rebooted. Got Acore has stopped. Then the phone reboots.
But since I needed my phone working quickly I took the path of factory reset and that seems to have fixed it. I did try clearing the cache but no effect.
I believe I know the issue. I used a launcher called Themer. I have reasons to think that was causing the issue because as it was loading in the background I managed to quickly hit the continue button to close the crashed process boxes and as the Launcher finished "Loading" it when it rebooted.
WARNING FOR OTHERS. Always Remove Other Launchers Before Flashing As A Precaution! (Warnings From Newbies Hehe)

Galaxy Note 3 Bootloop

Good morning,
I'm stuck with a big problem on my Note 3 HLTE.
Here's the story : I was previously on the PAC Rom 5.1 and I wanted to change to get the CM13.0 that was just released. So I've performed the full wipe (dalvik, cache and factory reset) and then when I wanted to update the OS, it didn't work. I ended up with a phone in recovery, telling me that there was no OS installed on it.
after several attempts, I then tried to revert back to a stock ROM based on 4.4.2 with Odin. The installation went on without any problems, I was able to get through the first install with my Gmail account and then the phone rebooted, and that's where I got the bootloop curse.
what I did then, was to redo an install via Odin with my carrier stock rom, and I got a FAIL message. So, I retried an install with Odin by adding a PIT file and another ROM still based on 4.4.2. the install worked, as I was able to set up my Gmail account and so on. At this stage, I wasn't able able to get any signal for calls, 4G . In parameters, the baseband was identified as "Unknown". Then, the phone rebooted again, and I got the bootloop curse again...
My last attempt has been to install my carrier stock ROM after performing a full wipe, with ODIN. The install was successful and I got the phone rebooted to stuck on bootloop.
So, here's where I am, and I would like to solve this problem, please. What I think is that, due to the fact that I was on Lollipop, the bootloop might be due to the downgrade attempt to KK. So if there's any way to solve this problem, I'm eager to take it.
Thank you !
Hey Guys,
I've been able to resolve my bootloop problem.
I've installed TWRP with Odin, made a full wipe including data (I've saved them before), and I installed the CM12.1 by Temasek, and way to go, the phone is running fine ^^
Now, I'm just stuck with the lost IMEI thing and baseband. SO my question now is : if I want to install my operator stock ROM for getting back, should I just choose the Lollipop ROM, or can I take the KK one without getting stuck in bootloop again ?
Thank you !

When WiFi is turned off I get 'Unfortunately System UI has stopped'

This is on two standard Galaxy S5's, with standard ROM, etc - not rooted, or anything else.
Every time I turn off WiFi, or enable Mobile Hotspot, I get 'Unfortunately System UI has stopped'.
To fix I have to Power off/on the phone.
(Turning on WiFi is no problem, just turning it off.)
I have gone into 'Safe Mode', and same issue, so it looks to not be a bad App.
I have also uninstalled 'Google' updates, and again no change...
Any thoughts?

All of a sudden my S5 showed the exact same error message for no aparent reason... I didn't do anything, and now I can't use my phone at all because of that bug. It happens on every boot so I can't even unlock my phone. Tried reinstalling everything, ROM, recovery, kernel, with/without root = still same, what just happened here??
EDIT: Same thing if I'm in Safe Mode -_-

Seeing noone knows a solution here's what I did yesterday.
1. Backed up all my stuff from internal storage to the sd card
2. Did factory reset in TWRP recovery
3. Flashed completely stock official firmware from Samsung
4. Waited for it to boot up and try to restore some of my settings (it restored all folders on their places, made same amount of home screens as I had before the reinstall and downloaded all of my previously installed apps from the Play Store, ofcourse without the cracked ones, and it also restored most apps' data as well so it's not as bad as you may think to factory reset and reinstall everything)
5. Started rooting, flashing TWRP again, installing Dolby Audio, Xposed and everything I had before, took me one full day to set it up as it was before.
Now when I set it up I always make a nandroid backup from when things are working fine, in case it goes crazy for no reason again... Good luck!

when the wifi radio is acting weird, a dirty flash of your current ROM susually fixes is as its probably a radio issue. Id do that before doing anything drastic like the boot-n-nuke Odin flash and starting from scratch (which will fix that issue)

I don't think I have a ROM issue, as I have two S5's, and both have the same issue... and both are standard ROMs.
I will do a factory re-set on one at some point, but this looks to be a 'simpler' issue.
I have tried a full Cache delete, as well as other 'clean' processes.
Nothing works.

I tried to re-flash my stock ROM as @youdoofus said but still had that annoying popup. Try everything you can think of, if all else fails, reset.

well, you can wipe cache, and dalvik 3x each (not kidding about the 3x each), then dirty flash the rom, pray to the gods of android, reboot. If failure occurs, its Odin Nuke time unless you want to try to flash an individual radio file by itself (not recommended)
