[Verizon] [rom]jbsourcery v5.4-lte[06/07/13] jb4.2.2 The Final Call

maybe I'll give it a go. But I can tell you, it's rough for me. It might not make it through tomorrow. A work day will show how well it will work for me, since it is my primary communication tool for home and work contacts.
 
Trying 5.3 but Wi-Fi cannot reach internet no matter what I try. N7, GTab 7, Tivos all connect. Back to Nandroid of 5.2 & it works fine. Yes I clean wiped. What to try?

Interesting, as my wifi connects fine. :confused:

You may try to dirty flash the ROM & Gapps again. Wipe cache, Dalvik, install ROM & Gapps without wiping data. See if that "takes".

Thanks, I'll give it a try.


Hmm. Didn't help. Maybe I will try re-downloading the files and dirty flash again.

When you went clean did you allow Google to reconnect your WiFi via backup or did you connect manually? I went the Google route without issue.
 
Everyone,

I am getting a system ui crash. In the past, when I got this crash, the pulldown and the navigation button disappear for a few moments, but then come back. In this version I am getting a system ui crash and the pulldown/nav buttons do not come back. The first time it happened, I had to pull the battery and reboot.

Yesterday it happened, but pulling the battery didn't help. Once it booted up, the nav bar/pulldown still wasn't there. I pulled the battery a number of times. The last time I pulled the battery/rebooted, I was getting ready to flash again, when all of a sudden it came back. Unfortunately, I had an unusable phone for the better part of an hour.

Is anyone else seeing this? I did do a clean install (always do). Even in the last version I would get a number of system ui crashes - usually occurred when I was changing from landscape to portrait, etc... which didn't really bother me, because it always came right back.

This one concerns me, because it just happened again and I have no nav bar / pulldown and it has been sitting there for the better part of 15 min.

Should I do a dirty flash?

Same here. First time I clean flashed. Wi - Fi reconnect through Google to restore apps. Then when I turned on Wi - Fi later it would not connect to Internet. Then dirty flashed & Internet came back. But now having the exact same problem as you. I've reinstalled every which way, even redownloaded the files. Still this same persistent problem. Battery pull & reboot fixes it only temporarily. It keeps recurring, seemingly randomly. 5.2 never did this with me. TGF Nandroid backups until this can be solved.

I know it sounds like a dumb question and one that everyone seems to ask in these, but are you on CWM or TWRP? Just making sure it's a clean-clean. I used to get the System UI crash between landscape and portrait back on 5.2.1 or 2 I think, but then I ended up replacing the phone altogether, so my versions after that were a VERY clean install (since it had nothing on it to get confused with anyway). Just trying to narrow down options, is all.
 
I got system UI crashes all the time on 5.2.2, but 5.3 is behaving nicely.

I made sure I had the latest version of TWRP (2.5.x.x) before flashing Superwipe, the ROM & Gapps. I know that the multi-user stuff in TWRP has been identified as a possible culprit in incomplete wipes, but I've had zero issues with it.
 
Hey has anybody used the mod "Odex Me" on JBS? I've heard some people say it works and some people say it doesn't and can cause problems. I'd like some feedback before I give it a try.

Also, I now have the option in Gmail to send money via Google Wallet. If anybody wants this option, PM me and I'll send you a penny so you can have the option as well. Someone on the board was nice enough to do that for me so I'm extending the favor.
 
Good quesiton I am on CWM - switched to it when I heard there were issues with TWRP.

So something weird happened.

I dirty flashed to get rid of the system ui crashes and everything was fine. Was running super smooth, but after about 6 hours I noticed no one had pinged me on google talk or gmail. Weird, then I realized I hadn't reflashed Gapps. Oops, my bad.

Flashed Gapps, and once it booted up, no pull down no nav bar. I was using the black majik gapps.

So I thought, hmmm, maybe I have a bad download for the Gapps. Redownloaded it, and did the process all over again. And same thing.

Chief, are you running black majik apps or the white majik? I am wondering if it's the gapps.
 
Black Majik. White had white on white text issues. When you say no pull down nav bar, do you mean the hidden soft keys or the notification bar on top? Because mine keys and notification panel work fine.

My sequence:

Recovery
Nandroid Backup
Install Superwipe
Install ROM
Install Gapps
Reboot System
Skip stuff & get to the home screen as fast as possible
Recovery
Install Titanium Backup (TiBU) zip
Reboot System
TiBU Restore
Reboot System

Done.

I had the same problem with the white magic of white background & text. I went into settings & switched on the black. It cleared up the text problem without having to flash the black magic gapps. I guess it is not supposed to work that way but it did. :)
 
Tried to use superwipe with TWRP, but that gave me an error so instead just wiped everything (system, factory reset, data, both caches) since I was coming from 5.1.

I used black majik apps and turned on in settings and it worked great. BTW, some versions of TWRP are known to not wipe everything, which can cause issues.
 
Cuztomizeluvr, welcome to Android Forums!

It will help to know what device you have, so we can point you in the right direction. Start with the "All Things Root" section and learn the basics of rooting. That is the first step to removing bloatware :)
 
Just read over at Rootz that the Sourcery devs are contemplating an Encore release. Good news for you all. :)
 
Anyone able to use the streaming play music with the black majic gapps?

I keep hitting the try it now button, but it doesn't do anything.
