Android Market problems on A500 as repoeted by some of the custom ROMs users.

Firstly congrats. If you're seeing this post, you might have already done so or are trying to flash some custom ROM, which is absolutely ok.
Rather its fun and satisfaction that you keep your device up to date if not possible through official means. Also for some good changes.
Unfortunately, its not completely flawless. There might be some issues which are covered in the further updates of the ROMs.
Among oother small problems, one major problem I faceed when I flashed a custom ROM (actually three) is that the Android Market failed miserably when I initiated it. There were horrible search results. Also the categories were not showing the apps which would otherwise be placed under them.
Fortunately, the Android Market site was open for me which was the last option for me to go on with.
The only solution I could find to this problem was a bit of patience and some really basic info about market.
I tried to re install all the applications that were previously being shown as installed already. Though they showwed "Installed" status but you can install them again.
After a lapse of almost three days, I tried to access the Market app and it was actually accessible with all the search functionalities and EVERYTHING running smooth.
A thing I would like to advise on is try not to wipe out all the data (the 4 wipe out options while flashing) from your device. It might, might help you not to lose data and possibly, the Android Market too.
Have fun.

I've been on a custom rom for greater than a month now and have not experienced any market issues. The only problem that I've ever had was wifi stopped connecting for me. But it was an easy fix. Sorry you've had problems... Perhaps something else is to blame?

As Grarak chose to close the thread of his rom and that maybe some of you want to have some more return and exchanges about the way the rom works, discuss about bugs etc, i open this thread, so that we will be able to do what a forum is done for : talk and exchange together.
New version is 12082014, any return?
Testing soon..

i 've had terrible battery life, and searching on google lead me to a battery misc processus eating battery, problem solved with 5.0.1 by google
do you guys have the same experience, and have heard about a fix incorporation in the new builds? :good:

I had to go all the way back to the 11-20-14 build. I tried updating to the new builds 12-8, 12-9 and 12-10. No data at all on any of these builds.

Flashed the newest build! We're on Lollipop 5.0.1 now This update is supposed to help battery life. We'll see.
The new music app automaticaly force closes, and the DSPmanager was replaced with AudioFX.

thank you guys for these feedbacks.
Foxy, when you say the new music app, you mean the cyanogenmod one? strange, what could have change ?
Audio playback is fixed now ?

I don't know? It's just called "Music" but the icon is like a poorly designed not lollipop looking purple circle. But Apollo is gone so I suppose that's it. And audio playback works, just the app crashes right when I open it.

mhm then i think a change that has broke the app. I m sure Grarak will correct it in the next release

Ok, the ROM was going great for me, then yesterday at work my phone turned off when it was in my pocket. I tried turning it on, it booted, started doing the boot animation and then did that for five minutes before it shut off again. This time it wouldn't turn back on no matter how many times i tried power cycling or booting into bootloader. When I got home I tried charging it and the light wouldn't even come on. So I plugged it into my PC and the phone showed up as qhsusb_bulk. After researching that i found it means the bootloader got wiped somehow. My question is, how could my bootloader be gone, because as far as I know, no one has gotten their device S-OFF.

your device is bricked
seems there is a solution on the web but not working for everybody and for specific devices
i dont know what to advice you...
i dont know if it is rom related, but if it is, i wont flash this !

Yes that's what i figured. Luckily Amazon was nice enough to give me a new phone once I send that one in. I was just trying to figure out how it would even be possible that my bootloader got fried, considering my device was still S-ON.

any one who tried this rom found any bugs ???????? i want to know the bugs and want to know in htc 816 daul the second sim worked or not

I'm on a single sim Virgin Mobile variant here. There are bugs, yes. This is basically an alpha going into beta of lollipop. There is no one else developing anything new for this device so this is our best bet yet. Aside for some minor niggles here and there, this ROM is very workable as a daily driver. I would recommend a backup, and try this one out. I like it a lot. Grarak is quite amazing actually, many thanks owed.

Didn't test it. Haven't spent enough time on Lollipop because of the no data issue.

I've been playing around with the lastest builds, and I'm actually getting LTE to work without modifying anything, I just have to let it sit for a WHILE and it connects and works quite well.
HOWEVER, I have been getting a corrupt data partition issue with some non-google play apks. I assume that since the build are already not stable, adding homemade, root apks that modify data might cause some corruption. I'll keep playing with it and report back any further updates on how this may be happening.

Yah data works...just not good. It has to do with not being able to access APN's.
No one want's to sit "for a WHILE" to open a webpage or read an email.

On the latest build, System UI crashes.

SMS issues- not receiving all messages, people not receiving all of mine

Like the topic says, I am having major issues with SMS messages. I am not receiving all messages that are being sent to me, and people aren't getting all of mine. It's not an issue I can reliably reproduce, it's just very sporadic. I'm on AT&T and I've called them a few times and every time they tell me they corrected something and the issue should be resolved, but I'm still having problems. Is anyone else having issues like this? I am starting to think it's a problem with the phone and not the network, which would be a damn shame because I REALLY like this thing.

I'm on AT&T as well and was having a similar issue but was when I changed my default SMS app, such as Evolve/Go/etc.. I don't really like the stock app. Found Textra and has been working with no issues.
Are you completely stock... app/rom/etc?

Which APN are you using?

Stock ROM but not kernel, but that shouldn't affect it I wouldn't think. Still using the stock messenger app, I never liked using 3rd party apps for that stuff. I'm gonna go and get a new SIM card tomorrow I think and try that. If that doesn't work, I might call Oneplus and try to exchange the phone.
Edit: Tried Textra at yours and my friend's recommendation and I am never going back. It is vastly superior to the stock messaging app. It remains to be seen if it solves my problem though.

I set my own based on info I found online because I couldn't get LTE to work otherwise. What do you recommend?

I understand the 3rd party stuff.
Kernel shouldnt.
I use ATT Phone APN, I get LTE though I still have an iPhone 6 imei registered with my number, but the settings look pretty much the same.
If haven't already try dirty flashing Oxygen... 2.1.2? Doubt it will change anything as it working sometimes...but never know.
Also a semi last resort maybe factory reset and flash but don't sign into your main Google account to make sure it doesn't pull any settings or anything so it's like a brand new phone. Confirm ATT Phone APN is set and do some testing...
I noticed some xposed stuff, while unlikely maybe there could be something there that could be conflicting with it??
If none of that works, not sure...
I would try a family member/friend's sim first as you know they aren't having issues with it or their service. Then depending on that, a new sim.

I've had similar issues before. I was running on OOS, rooted, with XPOSED installed. I noticed that it had something to do with some XPOSED modules. I believe PowerNap Xposed was behind it. I had to flash back to stock since wiping data, caches, and etc won't fix it for me.

Welp, I do have power nap installed. Seeing as though I have noticed absolutely zero improvement in battery life with it I have no problem ditching it. But you don't think uninstalling it will be enough?

I haven't tried just uninstalling it. Hehe I flashed everything back from a clean slate just to be sure

Well I uninstalled it and it is entirely possible my problem is solved, to which I owe you a debt of gratitude. I haven't had an issue with SMS since doing it so keeping the fingers crossed.

New Nexus 6P User, problems out of the gate

So like the title says, I'm a new Nexus 6P user, and I had problems out of the gate.
I bought the device 2nd hand from a guy off craigslist, after my S6 edge started over heating after I had the screen replaced (don't buy Samsung "edge" phones, I know your careful, but on the off chance you drop it, your in a world of trouble).
I tested the phone, before I bought it, it appeared pretty much brand new, everything worked. When I got home, and hard reset it again for good measure all hell broke lose.
After a hard reset the phone wanted to update to build 19 something. After the update and a reboot, the phone app kept crashing before I could finish the setup process. The only thing I could do is factory reset it again. This appeared to clear up that problem. I did the near by device thing, and restored it from what Google could find out about my S6 edge. I wish it was more of a restore like what you can do in the iOS world, but it's better then what we had before so it's cool. I noticed that Chrome would crash everytime you tried to use it only in less I uninstalled the update. After I got the phone to the point where I wanted it, I thought I was free in the clear. When I started trying to use music apps, they all crash. Apple Music, Spotify, Soundcloud. Then I noticed YouTube also crashed the same way. When I tried to make a phone call, the phone app would crash too... So the phone was useless. I downloaded the SDK and the most current build which I think was 20 something. I followed a guide on here and formatted the phone reinstalling everything around build 20. The only thing this fixed was the phone issue.
I could now make phone calls without it crashing, but I was in the same boat with some applications working, and the same ones that didn't work not working. I flashed this phone 5, or 6 times, with the last time me formatting the userdata. I read that it wasn't a good idea because it could lock me to only 32GB ( I had a 64GB version), but after I did the flashing along with the usedata format, I still had 64GB of useable space, however I still had the same issue with the same types of applications crashing. I tried older builds, same issue (also the older builds all had the problem with the phone app crashing to the point that the phone wasn't usable).
I ended up sending the phone to the manufacturer, which appears to be in the same metroplex I live in. Hopefully they can find a hardware problem under warenty and fix it. I'm making this post to see if anyone else ran into similar issues, and if anyone knows if this is a hardware build issue, that was hopefully resolved.
I'm sorry to be so long winded...

Is the phone rooted and running a custom ROM?

Everything appeared to be stock, I don't know if it was rooted before, but when I was finished with it it was stock, I even locked the boot loader again (it was locked before I started flashing it)

All apps crashing

Hello,
I have a really annoying problem with my phone(s) from oneplus.
The problem is:
at a completely random point in time, every app that i try to open, just closes immediately. every app! i can fix it through rebooting the phone but the problem occurs again after approximately 24 hours and i have to reboot again. i first bought the oneplus 6, there i noticed the problem.
I was in contact with the customer service of oneplus and they suggested me a lot of fixes which i tried (clearing cache, updating the phone, resetting the phone completely....none of that helped so i sent the phone back to amazon and i upgraded to the oneplus 6t because i thought that it might have been a hardware problem with my oneplus 6.
but thats not the case. now i have the same problem on my oneplus 6t and i dont know what to do anymore other than send this one back aswell and buy from another brand. i really love the oxygen OS and would love to stay with oneplus. I just hope that someone can help me fix this problem. Thanks,
UD

Must be something you are installing on your phones. Start fresh with a factory reset and add your apps back slowly, one by one, until you find the culprit.

I think there is something odd about your Google profile that may be the culprit, if it is not one specific app as described above.
Start with just one Google account and stock apps. If you see the problem, remove that account, reset phone, and set up with a different account to localize the problem. If it tracks to one Google account you can dig deeper to correct it.
I've seen complaints like yours that tracked to oddities with the Google account and transferred from phone to phone.
Keep the faith, it is correctable. Once you figure out where the problem us!

Did you restore anything from your previous device through Google Drive or anything? Are you fully stock? Rooted? Stable or on a Beta ROM?
If this was happening to me and I couldn't figure it out I would probably save all of my files on my PC, and completely start over with a stock ROM. It would be painful to not restore any apps with data, but in your case I might do that as well. If you want to use Titanium Backup (if it actually opens and runs) I would only restore apps you really need, and ONLY 3rd party apps you downloaded from the Play Store and go from there.
I can assure you there is nothing wrong with the device though, it's a software thing.
