OmniRom build2 - FC on boot NFC and phone service

Just flashed OmniRom beta 2 build together with gapps linked in the OmniRom thread and I get fc on first boot on both NFC service and one more android service something something - can't get passed the pop ups and a reboot into recovery is all I can do.
Wiped system using TWRP 2.6.3.2 and cleared cache after install - did another wipe after reboot just to be sure. I have seen this on other roms that I try to flash?
am I doing something wrong during the flash process?
Wipe (default twrp)
install rom and gapps
clear cache/dalvik
reboot
Tried different gapps with no success..
I tried to flash the first OmniRom (build 1) with the same problems and I also got CM start tutorial when I had flashed OmniRom?? So it feels like the wipe is not working as it should?

Where did you get the build? If you got a CM start tutorial then you definitely didn't wipe, and i wonder what exactly you're flashing? This would be anything official Omni

Got the Omni from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517309
and the twrp from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469995
Others have succeeded using this so no clue what I'm doing wrong? I have flashed other roms, recovery works. Sometimes it seems like it is not wiping it all?

As this is far from an official build, you will want to direct your issues to the porter/builder of the ROM in that thread you linked.

Think I found the problem - a "default" wipe in twrp won't do it - I had to go in to advanced and choose "cache,dalvik,data and system" now it works like a charm! Good to know for the future..

Galaxy S4 i9500 - CM 12.1 Nightly (20160110) - GApps crashing constantly

So today I went from stock 5.0.1 to CM 12.1 Nightly (20160110) but gapps keeps crashing which makes my phone semi useless
First Things first
1. Flashed TWRP using Odin
2. Went into recovery and wiped Data and System
3. Installed CM 12.1
4. Installed GApps
5. Wiped Cache/Dalvik and rebooted
Phone boots up normally, And after unlocking the screen a stream of errors emerges, Not sure if i'm using the right gapps or not
Any help is much appreciated

Did you by any chance use Opengapps? Opengapps is like a hit or miss. Some days they work and some days then don't.
Try these gapps:
http://download.dirtyunicorns.com/files/gapps/banks_gapps/
You need to perform a full wipe though.

Yes I did try Opengapps which also didn't work
Edit: The gapps is 6.x.x while my phone is 5.1.1, That won't break my phone will it?

You need 5.1 gapps then.

I think you can try a complete boot before flashing Gapps. And try other builds of Opengapps like mini or micro(well or even smaller depending your "Google apps" usage)

Thanks for the reply, I'm downloading micro right now. Gonna fresh install CM 12.1 using TWRP then boot my phone fully before going back to recovery and flashing Gapps
Will edit my post within 30 mins with the result
Edit: No luck, And now for some reason my phone does not recognise my sim card

Could you try GearCM? Official CM for i9500 had lots of issues.

Strange... because the symptoms shows like a mismatched gapps to cm... btw are you using the lastest TWRP?
If Yes try other recoveries. I used to use Philz until I bricked mine and had to flash back to stock and now I'm using a modified TWRP to enable dual boot.
If No then try update it and give it another try?

I recommend against doing this. The other recoveries are outdated and will give you problems. Stick with the latest TWRP.

I think that i didn't express myself very well. Yes it's advisable and strongly recommended to use lastest builds of any recovery available as stable build.
But once i had to use Philz to flash a MIUI ROM because TWRP 2.8.6.0 was unable to execute the installation script didn't know why and that's why i said about different recoveries, and oh.... I forgot to say that after successful install rollback to TWRP because it's pretty new , stable and more user friendly than others.(CMW and the rainbow Easter egg was fine but having to use vol and power keys..... NO THANKS!)

Vanir ROMs

For whatever reason, team Vanir doesn't maintain an official thread in this forum, even though they have been actively developing ROMs for Z1c ever since KK. @Wind07 started his own thread, with his own builds and links to official builds, but has abandoned it - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/rom-vaniraosp-t2874690 I have been a fan of their ROMs since KK, so decided to post some links.
Vanir currently has 2 ROMs in active development for Z1c: Vanir ROM, (http://www.emccann.net/nuclearmistake/VanirAOSPNightlies/amami/), and Commotio ROM, (http://www.emccann.net/dho/3-Vanir-mirror/4-nighties/), and here's their Gapps link - http://www.emccann.net/dho/5-Gapps/
NOTICE **** Latest builds of Vanir ROM do not boot. The last build that booted was 3/10, which runs great, but no camera. I've posted on G+ about it, and dev says looking into it, (https://plus.google.com/111931660643822970788/posts/MV7QYHVZr1r). I can't get the bootloop to show up in adb, so can't get a log. If someone else can, he'd appreciate it. Newest Commotio ROM boots and has camera.

Is this the recommend way to flash it:
Instructions
fastboot boot.img in zip (here is something missing I think)
boot to recovery
format system, data, cache and wipe dalvik
flash zip
reboot
flash gapps(optional)

Probably no need for all that. Just do a wipe, then flash ROM, then gapps, and reboot.

4/13 build is good. Still no camera though, (although it's interesting that if you set 'launch camera on button press' in settings, camera app opens, but with 'cannot connect to camera' message). I only tested it without Gapps, but don't think that would make a difference...

Phone stuck on Android is starting. Running lastest PureNexus Rom

Did you flash a GApps package? I believe Pure Nexus recommends Dynamic GApps... Check the PN thread for the download link.
Wipe
Flash ROM
Flash GApps
Flash vendor (although you shouldn't need to do this again)
Reboot system

You should search the Pure nexus thread. This is a known issue with the latest build and there are workarounds for it.

[ROM] [Q][10] Evolution-X 4.0 for Moto Z-Griffin[TREBLE]

Thanks to your feedback I have added some extra steps to ensure that everyone can enjoy the GSI ROM
First of all I am not the creator of this ROM-GSI I only share it in the XDA community and give all the credit to @turbolukex5
You can download and try all of his work from https://sourceforge.net/projects/expressluke-gsis/files You can see all the work of him in https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-discussion/gsi-expressluke-built-gsis-t4003457
Evolution X 4.0 has all the extra features of the AOSP ROMs plus extra features of Evolution X and all the sweetness of the Pixel. Tested by myself, like Lineage is stable for daily use without any problem of any kind (obviously we all know that moto-mods don't work, only the moto-mod battery in default mode) when used in Moto Z. Needless to say, as you read in the title this ROM is GSI so if you want to try it you need to have Official Lineage OS 16 installed in your Moto Z before attempting to install the GSI image.
So let's go to the installation steps:
Steps when you are already in another GSI
1. Download the GSI image from https://sourceforge.net/projects/expressluke-gsis/files/EvolutionX/Ten/ARM64/A/ EvolutionX_4.0_ARM64A-10.0-20200112-2146-GSI.img.xz
2. Unzip the file to extract the system image and copy it inside your Moto Z
3. Go to TWRP and wipe Data(not internal storage) /Cache/System
4. Go to Install and change to Install image
5. Select the image of Evolution X and flash as system partition
6. Flash Magisk Canary if you want root, gapps already included
6. Reboot to System
7. Wait fist boot and enjoy Evolution X 4.0
First Install/Clean install
1. Install Official Lineage OS 16
2. Boot to Lineage 16
3. Reboot TWRP
4. Wipe System, Data, Cache, Internal Storage
5. Reboot to recovery
6. Copy Evolution X 4 GSI image to Internal storage
7. Go Install IMAGE and select as System partition
8. Flash permissiver_v4
9. Reboot to System
10. Wait first boot and enjoy Evolution X 4.0
By far the best GSI I have tested for our Moto Z

Extra Tips:
Magisk Modules
LSpeed Magisk Module for extra battery life
Magisk Dolby ATMOS Q. Although the GSI already comes with very good audio
One more:
Arnova Gcam
Android OS version: 10.0
Security patch level: January 2020
GSI author: turbolukex5
Source code: https://github.com/Evolution-X
ROM Developer: joeyhuab
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.18
ROM Firmware Required: Official Lineage OS 16

Hey, thanks for the great share! :good::fingers-crossed::highfive::laugh::silly:
1. 'By far the best GSI I have tested for our Moto Z' - have you already tested havoc 3 gsi?
2. please, change this in the description "no gapps already included" it's not clear if they are included or not. simply state 'gapps included'
3. how long should one wait for boot? - for me it's on boot animation min 15 already.
3.1 currently can't pass boot animation (-05 china version of Moto Z)
4. is latest official twrp OK for flashing this image?

Thank you for your advice, I tried Havoc but the battery life was not ideal for me but it is still a great option. You need to use twrp-3.3.1-0 but I'm not sure if the official version works in the CN version. Already installed does not take more than 3 minutes to boot. Try to erase Data and flash Magisk.

Yeah, official 331 works just fine.
The case is it's 2 sim phone and aosp on this phone even has no sim up.
What do you mean by erase data? - format or factory reset or wipe?
By the way, which partitions do you backup in twrp for successful full restore?

I mean Wipe data partition where you have to write "yes" to wipe data. I had a similar problem when I started trying GSI everything was solved when I did a full wipe of System, Data, Cache then reboot to TWRP and install Lineage 16 afther that reboot to system and after full boot again TWRP and start to flash gsi, never had problems again when I want to try a GSI image I just do wipe cache and system and that's it
I do not make any backup I only make a backup copy of google that saves my contacts, photos, Wi-Fi networks, etc. and does not wipe data partition
Remember permissive and fixzygote are not needed for GSI builds made after 25th September

Give us more information to help you. What is the error that shows you or where are you stopped in the process?

There is no mistake.
The installation ends with the boot image evolution and nothing further happens.
I wait about 20 minutes
I even did a clean LineageOS installation and it did nothing.

winrar work pretty ok
check the consequence above by author with format via "yes" - BE SURE TO BACKUP INTERNAL STORAGE BEFORE AS IT CLEANS IT OUT.
I have the same problem as you, only can get a life long boot animation. even though aosp 210 boots up (with no ril unfortunately).
but I have not tried to do it with yes-format yet. so, if you are up to it now, would be great to know if you succeeded.
which device do you own? mine is -05 chineese 2 sim

Into the TWRP, folow these steps:
1- Go Wipe - Format Data (DON'T BOOT the System Yet)
2- Go Reboot - Recovery
3- Now you flash the System img. Be patient and wait the process. It can take 3-5 minutes, maybe more. (DON'T BOOT the System Yet)
4- Go Reboot - Recovery
5- Now go Wipe - Format Data - Boot Rom

0. Check the attached
1. Try to flash permissiver on it
2. Try to wipe data not from twrp, but from fastboot only
3. Flash can still be done via twrp

OKAY, THIS IS HOW I BOOT IT (EASY):
1. system, data, cache wipes
2. flash lineageos16
3. boot and pass first setup
4. boot to recovery
5. flash image
6. flash permissiver V5 - with v4 there is no ril
7. boot
boots fast, a couple of minutes.

Excellent step, apparently if you have never installed a GSI ROM it is absolutely necessary to flash permitsiver_v4, I have added the step and works smoothly. :good: I realized that after trying JoyUI GSI from Vegazsd, (it works but with the bugs of the camera and gsm network :crying and when I returned to Evolution X it only worked after flashing permissiver_4
The guide is updated and ready for everyone to enjoy the GSI on their Griffin

I installed permissiver_4 before installing img. It is a pity that I did not know about v4 installation after and not before.
And all in all I still don't know if v4 is good or if you need to install v5.
I have a request if you donate something, try to follow the right order of installation because information chaos creeps in.
Thank you for the advice and best regards.
Today I will try again and if it goes wrong it fits
As I understand it is supposed to be pure lineageos16 without gaps and Google applications like that?
He asks now in detail not to err.

I recommend flash permissiver v5 as my ril was back only with it. V4 doesn't help
And I think you can skip data formats if you did it once.
I did only
normal wipes,
then lineagos flash
then boot it and first setup
then straightly flash img and permissiver v5
then it boots just ok and fast
Ah, yeah, and for me it's always best idea to reboot recovery after every operation. Because here and there I've seen it may fail to properly mount some partitions depending on the situation, which leads to errors while flashing

I have a request.
Which Magisk to install?
