[Q] HELP! Trouble with N7100 - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been using Android Revolution 9.2 and this morning installed 10.0. Everything was working fine for a while, then all of a sudden the GAPPS process started force-closing and I lost all access to the Play Store. I would click on the play store icon and it would just bounce me back to the launcher (in this case, Nova Launcher 2.0). I decided I need to reflash Android Rev HD 10.0 (I have CWM Recovery 6.0.1 installed). The AROMA installer would start, but it would always lock up at some point before the installation began, usually at the prompt to backup the efs partition, sometimes earlier, sometimes later. I haven't been able to get a clean flash started. I even tried to go back to 9.2, but the same thing is happening.
I did a factory reset hoping it would fix the problem, but the GAPPS process continues to crash and I can't access google to restore my apps. So I'm really up **** creek here. Am I looking at a bad RAM problem all of a sudden? (god, I hope not!).
Any help/advice would be welcome.

[Q] CM7 Issue

I've been following the CM7 nightly builds on my Incredible with no issues at all, I love it.
The problem I've been having is my girlfriend has an incredible as well and wanted to try out CM7. Rooted her phone no problem, installed the free copy of ROM manager (I have the paid, was wondering if maybe thats where the issue was coming into play) and dropped the latest nightly onto her SD Card.
When I install the ROM manually through recovery (wiped both dalvik and cache first) the ROM gets to the CM7 logo and then just sticks there, looping the logo over and over.
I restore the backup of sense, then install the ROM via Rom Manager's "Install ROM from SD Card" option, choose to wipe data and cache and it installs and boots no problem..or so it seems at first.
Even after repeated attempts at installing there are a lot of random issues that I never ran into at all. Every time she'll have a few contacts missing, and the bigger issue - she can't launch Facebook or any apps that have Facebook (Tweetdeck etc) they just force close instantly. Many other apps seem to just force close at random as well.
I installed CM6.1 just to see if it had any similar issues but it went smooth. I've run out of ideas so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Once it boots up, go into rom manager and fix permissions.

First, how long did was the boot animation going for CM7? My first install of CM7 took anywhere between 5-10 minutes of the logo looping (shocked the mess out of me cuz I never sat so long for a load). Maybe giving another nightly a try and waiting out the initial boot will resolve all issues. Personally, I flash rom's manually and have had little to no issues.
Second, maybe this was a specific nightly issue. I was running nightly #31 then switched to #36 and both ran perfectly. Try reflashing the rom and wiping everything again. Also, if your contacts ARE NOT stored under her gmail account this may be the reason you observe missing contact. All her contacts linked to her gmail should instantly reinstall each time you flash a rom/nightly/etc.

[Q] System errors even after a factory reset, help?

Thanks in advance for any advice given!
I was running Mahdi Rom, one build behind the latest, and all I can remember before things went tits up was I was updating a couple of apps through the play store.
Then I started getting repeated androidsystemui processs ended errors every few seconds. I rebooted into recovery and wiped everything through TWRP. Still got system errors after reboot, couldn't even get through the google account login and sync.
Downloaded the LG mobile support tool and flashed back to total stock -- can't go wrong, right?
Now I'm getting android.system.acore proccess ended errors, and Google Play won't run at all. Any hope, or am I fried?
Fingers crossed,

[Q] Gio + Cyanogen 11 - Wifi

Hello all,
I need some advice. I have tried CM11 roms and Gapps packages, only to break the keyboard or break the audio or severely ruin something, or have no working market place (google play)
I finally got everything working perfect and rebooted to do a nandroid and now the wireless is greyed out and will never turn on. I wiped and started over, setup my phone rebooted, wireless stopped working. I have come to realize that I can never reboot or power down or i have to wipe my phone and start over, as wifi is effectively permanently disabled, I have tried clearing cache and data on the settings app, i have tried rebooting, using CWM recovery menu to "Fix permission" or try reverting to previous backups like the ones i took after i setup my phone, but they no longer have wifi since i rebooted them too. for some ridiculous reason. I cannot ever reboot, run out of battery, etc,.. or i have to reformat and reconfigure all my settings its driving me insane. I've spent a few days with holding swears and refraining from throwing the phone lol.
Please help
I used KitKat 4.4.2 (CyanogenMod 11.0) 20140116 From NovaFusion and i found a Gio-Gapps-4.4.2.zip online it appears to be the only combination that isn't a total horrendous broken mess without audio, keyboard or play store can't even find google servers. Please any recommendation for fixing my wifi or maybe links to an updated or better version of cm would work?
P.S. Jenkins CM11 just says (Status 0) Installation Exiting, and won't install either.
For latest cm11(from jenkins maybe), u need CWM 6.0.5.3 recovery.
Thank you very much =), I have a new problem now though. I installed CWM from the link you gave me and Jenkins installed, then i factory reset, wiped cache, and wiped dalvik, and rebooted. The Setupwizard crashes though and I can't go any further, I tried flashing Gio-KK-Gapps-4.4.0.zip and rebooted and its still crashes. Any advice?
Follow this process:
1. Do a clean install of cm11.
2. Reboot & wait for home screen.
3. Switch off & then flash G-Apps.
4. Reboot.
If still force close occurs, just press home button & wait until home screen appears.
Or u may try different G-Apps.:thumbup:
Hope this helps...!!
Btw...there's thanks button for ur ease
Everything works except the keyboard, but i uninstalled the keyboard and used ADB to install a new one. Thank you very much for your help =)!
ur welcome bro

Stability issues with 5.0.x

Hi
Fresh install of 5.0.1 from google images, rooted and then a few weeks later flashed boot, boot loader and system from 5.0.2 and re rooted.
All of that went fine.
But I'm finding major stability problems. The tablet is hanging, crashing, losing the all icons on the home page including the bottom row.. Only choice I have is to force a reboot and it works for a day or two.
Its very slow and laggy.. Any ideas ?
On 4.4.4 it was fine, as soon as I upgraded the problems started. I've kept it up to date to see if that will help, but its not.
I am considering going back to 4.4.4 which is a shame as I do like the look of 5.
Help !?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app
So its jut me then
Think I'll look for a alternative ROM
It's not the ROM. I did the same as you and it's running better than ever.
Did you try running fastboot format cache? Or I guess you can wipe it from recovery.
How did you root? I know chainfires regular non-auto zip works fine, don't know about any other methods.
Maybe an app you have is causing problems?
If none of the above apply try another full clean install from the latest image.
I flashed SuperSU via TWRP and wiped cache etc.
Think I'll backup what I needed a default it to start with.. Then see how it goes.
For what it's worth, I've used Apex Launcher on my Nexus 7 (2013) and Nova Prime on my Nexus 5 and haven't had any issues with redraws, lag, etc. Maybe it's the Google Now launcher.

Nova Google Companion causes boot loop after install-- los 13 Nexus 10

On LineageOS 13, the latest official build of LineageOS for the Nexus 10, when I iinstall the Nova Google Companion for Nova Launcher, Google Play Services, Nova Launcher, and a number of other apps crash. When returning to the home screen, it freezes, then sends the app into a boot loop where after the LineageOS logo appears in it's entirety, my device tries to start LineageOS, but then crashes again and so the boot loop process continues. I have already reported this issue to the Nova Launcher Beta Google+ community and mentioned that Nova Google Companion ran fine on the stock 5.1.1 ROM. I've already tried reflashing LineageOS and GApps. Suggestions as to what I should do without flashing a different ROM?
Update: So as it turns out, ANY UI modifications (Launchers, TeslaUnread, Nova Google Companion/Action Launcher Google Plugin) will send the device into a bootloop. I suspect that the issue is with themes provider or GApps, since Google Play, Play Services, and Themes Provider are the first to crash.
I have a similar issue but I am unsure what program causes it.
The tablet was newly installed and installing my list of apps, one being Nova.
EDIT, information provided by op:
The August 5th nightly accepts Nova Launcher, but not TeslaUnread, Nova Google Companion, or Action Launcher
Hello, I have similar issue with my Nexus 10 on lineageos 13. I've reset from factory, reinstall all my apps except Nova and it works fine.
When I decide to reinstall Nova, my nexus immediatly boot in loop...
It arrive sudunly probably after an uptade of Nova...

Similar issue on Galaxy S3 running Cyanogenmod 13 (20161220 Snapshot).
Installing Nova Launcher causes the device to freeze and go into bootloop where it reboots after "optimising apps".
I've also tried installing Google Now launcher but " Home" option doesn't show up and there is no way to switch from Trebuchet to it.
Similar issue on S2 Plus CM13 after an update
Tested 2 weeks without Nova and nothing happened
Decided to give a shot again then bootloop happened again, luckily I had backup this time
I'm facing the same problem right now with my Redmi 4A. How did you solve it? Doing a factory reset?
I am currently facing a similar issue, but the culprit here for me is the facebook app, as soon as I install it from play store, it sends my samsung gt-i9082 (running cm13) into an instant bootloop, I tried deleting the facebook app's data from the twrp recovery's file manager.
but even then it kept on rebooting.
I had tested this even after a complete format of my device, including internal storage and external storage. even removing external storage, still as soon as the app was installed it went bootloop.
It's strange for me, cause it's the same rom and the same device, that was running the same app version before i format it to clean everything.
I would have doubt a data clash between my older files, but that was ruled out after a complete format. I have no clue why this is happening.
Edit: The only difference between my previous and the new installation is that I used deltagapps before and I am using opengapps now.
I will try with deltagapps again to see if it is sorted.
Edit 2: Well it did stopped the bootloop with the facebook app, but then again it started giving me the same issue with all the other random app I try to install(All those apps that previously were working on the same rom, same device).
Now the only suspect remains is the emmc of the device, maybe that is failing or got bad sector. strange that I haven't seen any issue on the device forum about this. Bad Luck, It reaches it's end.
