I'm sorry to sound noobish, but every time I flash a ROM on my Nexus 4 (mako) that isn't a Cyanogenmod build (10.2-20130904-NIGHTLY-mako) , my home softkey becomes completely useless and the AOSP or AOKP keyboard constantly crashes. I was told this is a known bug in certain source codes as far as the keyboard is concerned in 4.2.2 builds, but I'm still mystified by the home button issue and as to why I other people can be using the same ROMs that I can't without a problem. Is there a certain version of GAPPS that I can flash to avoid this problem, or is there a known fix? I always wipe data and cache when flashing, so I'm pretty sure this isn't a user error, other than which version of GAPPS I'm flashing (gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip).

The known issue you are talking about is the JSS deadlocks? if yes, then it is not the problem with you.. for you it force closes the keyboard.. are you following the procedure of installing rom properly? are you doing dirty flash (flash without wiping data)? you can find out if gapps is responsible by booting into a freshly installed rom without installing gapps and see if the problem persists..
You should also format the /system partition when you flash a new rom.
For some roms the Home button stop working for me and to fix it I had to install gapps, but most CM based roms I use don't have that issue.
As for keyboard, I always delete the default keyboard from the rom and use Google Keyboard.

Please explain what JSS deadlocks are. I don't dirty flash. I always wipe data. As for the keyboard and home buttons not functioning properly,I have this problem with XenonHD, PACman ROM, AOKP and CM variants.

No your problem is not the jss deadlocks.. it happens when you type very fast or something.. it phone vibrates for like 5-10 sec and then restarts. I dont think its your problem. Sorry mate I have no idea why you are having the keyboard and homescreen issue even when you are are doing a factory reset every time you flash.. and why its not happening with CM 10.2..

Well, that's unfortunate. I've found that the RevoltHD ROM doesn't have problems, but that's because it's got integrated GAPPS.
Been having the same issue with my Nexus 4, after installing GAPPS the keyboard crashes and the home button stops responding. Did anyone figured it out by any chance? Thanks.
I still don't know what caused it, but I figured out that more recent nightly versions of those ROMs don't have that problem. I'm using AOKP currently and that used to be a problem ROM.
Take off vibration and sound and all the bells and whistles and your keyboard should be fine if the issue isn't Rom specific. Also, it could be kernel related.....try boosting touch input if nothing else

I get the same problem, I factory reset each time I switch ROMs. I was trying with Vanir a couple of days ago and couldn't get the home button to work, tried OmniROM and it worked perfectly, went back to Paranoid it worked perfectly again, went back to Vanir and it didn't work. Was odd.
Hello Everyone,

The same problem
keyboards not working
please help me my keyboards are not working . i have installed an custom rom.
Well, I've made a huge mistake not backing up my phone immediately after rooting it and now I have to suffer the consequences for my dumb actions. I didn't think I'd run into much trouble, as I never have with either my Galaxy S3 or Desire HD before that and flashing countless roms.
Well, after rooting my phone with chainfire auto-root, I immediately flashed this rom and it was working fine, until I decided to flash my favorite Android Revolution HD rom.
Immediately after flashing it I received an error and ended up without Wi-Fi, or sound. There was a file posted called Wi-Fi fix, but it didn't work for me after flashing it, trying another modem did help with the WiFi (but still no sound) and it wont let me unlock my SIM.
I'm at a loss here, and not really sure what to do (other than trying to flash all of the modems available for 9505).
Tried flashing stock firmware through odin, but ended up with a failure to write.
If anyone could share some light on this matter, it would be greatly appreciated.
Yes, it happens a lot. On what rom are you excactly?
Can you try this?
1. Make sure you are on modem MJ5
2. Do a full wipe in recovery.
3. Flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2372286
According to that chef, you shouldn't need to flash any fixes after.
Or you can just try to flash this kernel. But i'm not sure on what rom you are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273437
I did flash that ROM, and the modem, but it ended up freezing as soon as I opened the phone app and I still had no sound, wifi was working though.
Ended up flashing I9505XXUDMHB_I9505PHNDMHB_I9505XXUDMHB_HOME.tar.md5 through odin and that seems to have fixed my problems, phew.
Same problem After flashing leneageOS,
Device Mi note 4, karnel 3.18.
Could anyone help ! Please..
After flashing a few roms I have noticed sound has stopped working, at first youtube videos wouldn't load up or start to play and on first device boot all gapps installed would be in notification bar with an error installing. This is on both cm 10.2 and even the original stock 4.3 touchwiz rom, have I broken my device for good?I never had this issue before when I went back to touchwiz, I have the android 4.3 with knox installed currently....Thanks
Similar Problem!
Hi, I'm having similar problems I have no sound at all coming from the device, I've read every thread that seas sound on the heading for I9505 and for many people flashing I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_I9505XXUDMH8_HOME.tar resolved the problem but not in my case.
Last night I tried flashing I9505XXUEMI8_I9505OXAEMI8_I9505XXUEMI8 and after I changed the kernel I got some sound when turning the volume up and down but the phone was running very slow.
Today I tried flashing Omega rom v15 flashing the right modem for the new bootloader before flashing the zip and no sound, I tried changing the kernel, still nothing.
So now I'm in build number XXUEMJ9 and baseband MJ5.
There has to be a solution for this as it is a software issue!!
PD: I can't get any signal either, WiFi is working though.
I have an extremely persistent set of problems:
1. Unable to record video
- stock camera freezes and the phone restarts (no matter the resolution or storage)
- other camera apps (mx, open, google..) either freezes or acts like its recording but it doesn't
2. While playing some videos, the phone freezes and restarts (in 90% its instagram videos, but sometimes it plays them fine)
What i tried:
- a bunch of roms. The problems probably started with some of them.
- returned to a stock lolipop
- several custom and stock kernels
- a bunch of camera apps
Currently i'm on Audax rom v26.1 with its audax kernel.
Does anyone have idea what could i try?
Could it be a hardware problem? (other than that, camera works fine)
Thanks in advance.
So I solved it by:
Using Odin 3.11.1
I have already tried Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flashed the latest stock Lolipop or older lollipop with ODin and nothing solved the problem.
So I tried to flash the latest stock lolipop with Odin and marking checked (Auto Reboot , F. Reset Time , Phone EFS clear, Phone Bootloader update).
I suspect that the Phone EFS clear did the trick. It's function is related to the modem and radio of the phone. And clearly the modem has a problem here.
I hope this will help anybody out there having this issue.
This problem happened after trying to flash lollipop using FlashFire app to reserve the root that I had in my previos Android KK 4.4.2.

Hi there,
Sorry, but did not face any issue like that before.
If you have searched a lot for a solution and could not solve it, I suggest that you install this ROM:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/purify-cm-13-hlte-n9005-unofficial-cm13-t3337234
This happened to me once after a terrible mistake , which is not related to my above issue. Then I installed this ROM and never looked back. Much snappier phone, lower battery usage and less heated device. I just love it. The only thing that I missed, the better camera app in the stock ROM, and the TouchWiz ability to show multiple apps at the same time.
I strongly suggest that you do a Nandroid backup then give this ROM a try. If you did not like it, you can always return to the Nandroid backup again.
You are frustrated now, like I was. Take a deep breath, and remember that we all went through such bad times with our phone, not just you. This is part of the experience of using such complicated devices. You will solve it eventually, believe me!
Hi, I recently got an A5 (2015) that hasn't been used for a while. It had lollipop on there so I updated it through OTA to the newest version and after that the recent apps and back key stopped working. I tried factory resseting, reinstalling the newest version of the firmware through odin, and now i rooted it and installed Aryamod ROM (note 7 port) and still no change. Only thing that fixes it is going back to lollipop, but i do not like that firmware because its buggy, laggy and outdated. Does anyone know the fix for this? Thanks for your help in advance
I apologise if this is a well known issue or something, but I couldn't find a solution through search or google. Also sorry for my fails in speaking English
EDIT: I also noticed that the phone gets stuck in sleep. Sometimes it takes really long for the screen to turn on, and sometimes it won't turn on at all and i must reboot the phone by holding power and volume down keys. Not sure if this is relevant, but it sure is annoying.. Currently running aryamod with hadeskernel v2.0
