Is anyone having an issue with their phone restarting randomly? I have only had the phone a day and it has happened twice. I suspect it is either a problem with root or a problem with disabling the bloatware using nobloat. Anyone that is rooted having these issues?
I havent had that happen to me. I am rooted and i used nobloat. No reboots or anything yet. Although adw ex launcher lags when i hit the home button not alot but its noticeable.
reboots?
Ran doomlord's zergrush and no bloat, everything is fine here. no lag or reboots.
I took my sd card straight from my Captivate to the Nitro. Maybe that could be causing some issues. I'll reformat it then see how it does.

Please do update
Reboots seem to have stopped after formatting my sd card. I will report back if it happens again.
Hmmm i seem to be getting the same issue. If i'm switching back and forth from different apps or opening lots of apps, it "freezes". Only wait to unfreeze for me was to hold power button down and the phone would restart.
I havent formatted my sd so i have to try that. If you format, is it just the app data i lose?
You will lose everything that is stored on the SD card. You wont lose any programs unless they were installed there.
after rooting and moving apps to sd through Titanium backup . i restarted my phone and found it to be extremely slow and glitchy , apps would force close, phone would randomly go in a restart loop with LG logo, tried both SD card in / out. I restored to factory defaults with no sd card. phone loads up first boot. installed titanium backup and restored all user apps with data. works flawlessly , no glitches.
try that but make backup of your apps . i didnt back up and system apps or restored them, just the user apps. not sure if that has anything to do with it. but restoring to factory defaults after root definately did work and i still GOT ROOT !
So I've had my Play for about a year. I've loved it so far. But lately I'm getting many MANY force closes and apps freezing and just bad performance. I Reset the phone through the normal means through the phone. I've also used Flashtool and completely erased the phone and SD card and reset the phone completely. No help. Still the same issues. I really want to keep the phone longer but I'm not sure how to fix this. It was rooted before just to remove the factory apps. I've never flashed roms or any of that business on this phone. Anyone have any ideas of how to attack this problem?

Download X-parts off the app store and boot into recovery, post back when / if you get that far.
By normal means? Have you tried repair with SEUS? Maybe a fresh install will help, after that you can root again and remove bloatware with Titanium Backup, i think there is a bloatware removal tool somewhere around the forums too.
I just meant through the normal restore built into the phone. I'm going to wait until I finish a game I'm working on so I don't take the chance of losing my progress.
sent from my Xperia Play
Can anyone explain to me why i lose my data connection and wifi when I add lines to the system/build.prop needed to support the Sony Walkman Xperia Z? The most puzzling thing to me is that for three weeks, over the course of more than 30 reinstalls of Blue Mynt, I added lines without any problems. I don't know what I'm doing any differently. It was almost routine. I had the walkman from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986599 with nearly every function working properly. Previously to the last few days I added the two following build properties from these two links without any problems. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2059203 and the attachment somewhere below. (I can't find the link where I got it at.) I had the walkman installed and running with every function except sense me and visualizer.
Can somebody help me figure this out please? I've got this awesome Bleu Mynt ROM running flawlessly, and it's fast as all get out. It is by far the most superior ROM that I have experienced. I would love to get this walkman running again, and then quit messing with it. Lol I know somebody has the knowledge to get me going again. IF you have time I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thank you for reading this.

Not sure why your trying to apply it manually,it will be less painless to just flash it,wouldnt it?I just flashed Bleu Mynt and this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2059203 ,the link is the 4th post down and it works flawlessly,i didnt do anything extra,but wipe cache and dalvik and flashed,then wiped cache and dalvik one more time for good measure.
You always come through with solid info. Thank you. I really appreciate it. I was going through all those troubles because the walkman doesn't like Mounts2sd. I'm gonna have to figure out how to move them where they belong, because it doesn't work once Mounts2sd takes over. I had been loading the ROM, SuperSu and busybox, Mounts2sd, Crossbreeder, then Gapps. All one at a time, in that order. The ROM was working fine, but the walkman wouldn't work. I could see the app icons in the apps manager, but they wouldn't start. Upon reading your post, I flashed the ROM and then the walkman and Hey, Hey!!! I have the absolute coolest ROM a man could want! I am so in love with this.... You could call it a ROMance! Haha... Thank you for helping me.
Okay, so I spend all day getting things organized and tested. Then I put the walkman together and got all the fc's worked out with sense me and the dnla. The download didn't work, but it wasn't flagging fc's every two minutes either. It's a common problem that the unlocked bootloader causes. Can't be fixed to work. After I got it all set up, I added the crossbreeder and Mounts2sd. No problem. The walkman still worked, along with the sony album and movie apps that I included from the same page. However, when I flashed gapps they didn't load. I can see them in the files, but they don't function. I tried to manually install them and they all fail to install. So I then go back and load up just the ROM, SuperSU, Crossbreeder, Mounts2sd, and Gapps: and It all works fine. There is some kind of conflict going on. I can't find any research material on this subject and I have no clue what to try next. I love a challenge, but damn... why is this proving to be so difficult. I could easily go to another ROM, but that won't work for me. (It's the ROMance I have with it. Haha...) I've tried many others and they don't measure up. I need Bleu Mynt with the Xperia Z. Right now my beloved ROM is working flawlessly, with the gapps, but no walkman or any components of it are installed. It's bumming me out dude. What can I try next? Where is the conflict arising?
EDIT-----> Status update: i just used the fixed permissions (smelkus 4.3) before I loaded the walkman, and after. The result was that the walkman loaded and functions and I still have my google play icon. However, when I innitiate it to take me to the store, it opens for half a second and shuts down. No message of any kind. It just stops. I also noticed that it "forgot" my wifi password. Have you dealt with this before?

Do this in this order: Do the wipe procedure,then install the rom and install Gapps immediately after,then reboot,set up Gapps and return to recovery and cache and dalvik wipe,then flash M2SD and wipe cache and dalvik again,reboot and install this: http://d-h.st/Dsl ,It will ask you to install busy box's latest update and install init.d support,if there is none and reboot,then wipe cache and dalvik again and install walkman app and wipe again,then reboot,you should be good to go,if not i have a solutuion for your sound problem.
I tried your method to a T. It wouldn't let me reconfigure the init.d script. So I went back to injecting SuperSU-1.25-Busybox-1.20.2-UPDATE and I just ran into the same problems again. I'm thinking I have something corrupt injected into my smelkus recovery or my SD card. I can't flash a new recovery with PC36IMG, ADB shell, or FlashGUI. I have something on my SD card that I can't view or delete. I have no clue what it is, but I suspect that it is responsible for my problems. Do you know how I can rip my SD card back to absolute zero? I"ve tried everything; the partition choice in Smelkus recovery, Gparted, and Mini Partition Wizard . They format and show zero content, but when I partition to ext4 I have an extra hidden partition with 33MB of script show up out of nowhere at the beginning of my fat32. I'm certain that I picked up some B.S. by gettting apps from various non-market sources. I either lose my data connection or maybe sometimes keep it, but I have no phone Icon to start a phone call and no amount of re-installing apps will fix the problem. I've also ran the team dirt apps2sd removal zip and it says it took script off, but I still show the hidden partition with 33MB when I look at it on Mini Partition Wizard.

Sounds like your sd card could be corrupted,you might need to buy a new one.
Thats what I was thinking too. I just bought a Sandisk Ultra 32Gb card a couple hours ago at Wal-mart.. Hopefully all of my problems go away.

Okay, I've been trying to get this done on my own. It's proving to be a futile task. Lol... I can have gapps and no walkman, or I can have the walkman and no gapps. Ugh... It's killing me that I can't figure it out. What is your sound solution? For the past couple of days I've been fooling with other ROMs with not much better luck. Same problem. There is some kind of conflict and it's not my sd card. The same thing is happening with my new card. Please share your solution with me.

Honestly this is what i use.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293589 ,i dont like the walkman app.
I just checked out the link. Looks very interesting. What catches me is the studio quality sound. I'm into that aspect big time. I'll load it up and give you my thoughts. Thanks man. Looks like a great solution. I'm wondering why I never came across that in my search for other walkmans....
Yesterday my phone was acting weird - Poweramp was starting at boot, Poweramp told me it couldn't verify my license, I had no media volume (but system volume was ok), my lock screen was being bypassed on boot, S-voice was starting whenever I put headphones in, no sound from bluetooth, etc. Weird stuff.
After troubleshooting and coming up empty, I took a backup with Clockworkmod, then restored to a backup I took on the 4th. When I rebooted, apps started crashing non-stop. Not only gapps, but also twitter, dropbox, etc. Every 1-3 seconds I'd get a couple of crashes. I also get a lot of notifications (not in crash windows) that it "cannot open database". These appear across the bottom of the screen, like when I'm notified that an app has received superuser access. It happens so often I can't even shut the phone off - I have to pull the battery.
I restored to a backup I took on January 10th and got the same thing. I restored back to the backup I'd just taken, same thing. I wiped the cache and the dalvik cache, same thing. I reflashed my gapps, but that didn't fix anything. I tried to remove my google account, but I can't get into the menu because the phone's crashing too fast.
So far, the only way I can get a usable phone is by performing a factory reset and setting up my phone again.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get my data back? I have an app backup from January some time using My Backup Pro, but I don't want to lose a month's worth of data if at all possible.
I'm running a rooted Galaxy S3 (AT&T) on Stock 4.3. I've been messing with Xposed for the past couple days, but disabled almost all of the modules while trying to troubleshoot the issue (and it seemed stable before it started acting weird while I was shoveling snow). Also, only the most recent backup has Xposed installed.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: I was able to remove my Google account and this initially stopped the Google apps from constantly crashing, but other apps continued to crash. After a minute or so, the Google apps started crashing again.
I was able to restore a much older backup (4.0) and this seemed to work ok for the few minutes I tested it.
I did a factory reset on 4.3, which seemed ok, but when I started restoring my apps through My Backup Pro, android.process.acore started crashing every second or so. I cleared the cache, but it didn't fix the problem (in fact, it started crashing on the lock screen, which hadn't happened before.)
I'm starting to wonder if I need to flash a new ROM because something not backed up by Clockworkmod is FUBAR.
As far as I can tell, the causes of my issues were:
I think my CWM was messed up. When I flashed CM11 to get a working ROM, I saw there was an update pending. I installed that and it seemed to fix the problem with making new backups. I don't think I'll be able to recover the backups from before, but at least I can make new backups now.
I think the android.process.acore issue was the result of the My Backup Pro backup being from CM10.1 when I was trying to restore to Stock 4.3. I think there was some system data in there that wasn't compatible with stock. Selecting only the 3rd party apps that I "needed" to install seemed to resolve this.
I don't know about the original sound issue. I got a ticket response from Poweramp saying it was a Google account mismatch issue. I hadn't made any changes, so my guess is that somehow the account was corrupted. I don't know if removing/adding the account would have made a difference, since the whole thing blew up before I could try. It's also possible that something else got corrupted that caused the volume issue. Volume works fine now that I have a new ROM, so it was definitely not a hardware issue with the headphone jack. I backup restore or factory reset might have fixed the problem, but I don't know for sure.
I am currently facing an issue with getting install/update errors for a good majority of the apps. Specifically error 963. I am running the latest Lollipop and the tablet is completely stock. This started occurring recently and it appears to be tied to the latest version of the Play Store. One workaround is to uninstall the updates for the Play Store itself. This works but is only temporary since the Play Store will get updated and the problem starts occurring again. The only other option I discovered is to unmount the SD card and remount after the apps are updated. The SD card is self is currently not being used for anything and I also recently formatted it using the tablet itself. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there any way to correct this problem? Does anyone know why this is occurring?
I confirm I am having a similar issue. I made a post about this today as well
@Title101: the uninstall option for Google play is back (was not there yesterday for me) and updating apps seems to be working again.
I meant to say I have a rooted device....but had done this rooting process many months before this issue.
Reply if your errors went away too...

It appears the issue has gone away. I have moved all the apps over to the SD card and it appears the apps update okay now. Prior to the issue, any app that was on the SD card would be put back to internal storage which was a bit of a pain since I always had to move it back the the SD card. However, now it appears that this not required anymore.
I have thought of rooting the device and using Link2SD. I have held back in the hopes that Samsung will update the OS to Marshmallow and either allow for adoptable storage or the moving to external storage option present in the Galaxy S7/Edge. One question I have is if I root would it be possible to go back the the stock recovery in case an update does arrive at some point? I don't necessarily want to re-flash the image and loose all the data. Currently once the device is rooted, OTA does not work anymore.
Link2SD seems to have issues - it has actually corrupted the 2nd partition I had created on an SD card once, and I'm using it again quite cautiously (I only moved 2-3 apps to the SD card this time versus 10-15 last time). Maybe it depends on the size of the partition or how often the apps (on the SD card) are used, but I am not sure.
So I'd recommend being careful with Link2SD...
But yes, rooting has the advantages + disadvantages you just mentioned...
I tried googling to see if the Tab S gets Android 6.0 Marshmallow, but so far haven't found anything.

I have used Link2SD in the past and do recall running into some issues. Sometimes it would require a re-link and I also noticed boot up was taking way longer then it does now. However, I did have a lot of applications installed to the second partition. Loosing OTA update ability due to rooting was another reason I decided to go back to stock. At this point I am hoping that Samsung does not forget about this tablet and decides to do right by us since it was their flagship tablet not that long ago. The Galaxy S5 came out a few months before our tablet and it's getting Marshmallow so hopefully our tablet will be next.
We might just be next, check it out (it's not that official though...)
