Cm10 system ui keeps crashing

**Soundtrack to Chaos** · 11-25-2012, 01:34 PM

Another user on Android Central reported this issue previously but didn't get much help. Basically, every few hours the system ui keeps crashing no matter what I do

I was on the cm10 stable from November then I just flashed to a nightly, and I'm having the same issue

It's soo annoying, no status bar, no nav keys and the only way to reset it is to reboot your phone

The stable was a clean flash, and I just dirty flashed the nightly this morning, both have the exact same issue. Does anyone have any suggestions? I really like cm10 but this is ridiculous

this is gonna be a looooooooooooooong day, tried to dirty flash back to an old stable, and the cyanogen mod boot screen just kept spinning, so i popped out the battery, booted into recovery and clean flashed it

now im going to spend the next hour and a half restoring texts and apps to my phone, then signing into apps

and to top it off, i was in the middle of a sms conversation

this is going to take forever

i was just beginning to get comfortable with my new stable and all that too, now i gotta restore an old one just to see if i will stop getting that damn error

**Soundtrack to Chaos** · 11-25-2012, 02:12 PM

Yup that's the price you pay for running CyanogenMod.

Hello Skunape60... was wondering what are the best options for me to try on flashing a new ROM... i know there is many out there but just need 2-3 to look at.
If you can guide me into which are best. Im currently rooted with 4.1.1 Jelly Bean.

Thanks much
Junior

Cm10 is good, but if I were you, I'd try out wicked sensations

Thanks again

Thanks again

If you are inexperienced in flashing stock with the wicked sensations rom. It will keep you happy and busy for a while.

How to flash ROMs in custom recovery

If you are going from a rom to the same rom that has been updated you often don't need to wipe data / factory reset and can skip that step. Additionally you can go even further by formatting system, data, and cache from the mounts and storage menu.

1. From the home menu, select "wipe cache partition" and confirm by selecting yes.
2. Select advanced menu.
3. Select "wipe dalvik cache" and then confirm by selecting yes.
4. Return to the home menu
5. Select wipe data / factory reset and select yes to confirm (This will delete all of your apps, passwords, settings and accounts.
6. Select "install zip from sdcard"
7. Select "choose zip from sd card" or "choose zip from external sdcard".
8. Select the file you want to flash and select yes to confirm. (if you don't see it, swipe the screen or use your volume up and down to scroll up and down )
9. After it completes, go back to the home menu and select reboot system now.

Just read your post again... in it talks about This will delete all of your apps, passwords, settings and account - is there anyway to back them up or I complete have to start from scratch when the new rom has been updated?

Follow my steps above but skip the factory reset.... You won't lose data. Just wipe the cache and dalvik.

**Soundtrack to Chaos** · 11-26-2012, 07:18 PM

I'm still having that system ui issue, guess it's just cm10 being cm10, lol

I'm almost there... so does it matter if i install release verison 1.2 of Wicked or start right from the very first version?
ok so skip step 5. Select wipe data / factory reset and select yes to confirm (This will delete all of your apps, passwords, settings and accounts.

As always thank you for all your guidance... very much appreciated

Yes, there are 2 links in the thread. Choose the full version and you will be good.

As for flashing it, you will only lose your data if you wipe data/factory reset. If you only wipe cache and dalvik you won't lose your data. You can do it this way but if you have any issues you will need to go back and do the factory reset.

A few final Questions, so sorry but just want to get this right... The post also talks about firmware LJ7, what if i currently have that as my custom rom - do i need to also install it?
It also talks about doing a Nandroid back up, how do i do that or what app would I need? In terms of 4.1.2 or 4.2 Apps are some of them also on this WS ROM?

And finally what if for some reason i wanted to go back to original stock rom and unroot - is there a way to do that as well

You've been of great help... I've been cutting and pasting all on a separate Word Doc for me to follow
Thanks for all your assistance

I think it's taking about the baseband which is your radio or modern. Go to about phone. If your baseband is already LJ7 then you should be ok without flashing they firmware.

There are several 4.2 apps available for wicked sensations. Look in the kuban updater after installing.

BTW... this should be posted in the ws thread. My lunch is over and there cracking down on personal phone use. I will explain the nandroid backup process later. There should be an example in the sticky thread how to flash in custom recovery.

**juniorr7710** · 11-27-2012, 12:27 PM

Not a problem... and YES I am on LJ7 so that solves that question. Regarding the apps, then will look for after flashing WS and in kuban updater.
If you can let me know later on the nandroid (only makes a mention on making a nandroid not what app to use) and i think i should be set to go afterwards

much appreciated... enjoy rest of your days. J

A nandroid backup is not in an app. It is an option in custom (CWM) recovery. Follow the link and there is a step by step instructions for completing the nandroid backup in the very first post.

Thanks so much... set, ready and go... Will hit you back to give an update.
Oh yeah was forgetting - if i ever wanted to go back for what ever reason to stock and unroot, is there a link i can follow?

Yes there is way to go back to stock. But I will tell you up front it will wipe the phone to how it was when you bought it. Make sure you save you important stuff to the external sd before you do it.

The return to stock guide is stickied with the how to root thread.

**juniorr7710** · 11-27-2012, 04:20 PM

Yes, i just found it... I found the nandroid backup as well as UnRoot and return to stock post - Just wanted to have all the information handy just in case. I'll make sure i back up all my data. I've created for myself a Word doc with all the important info regardint Root, Recovery, Rom from the links posted before.
In terms of backing up Apps, is Titanium my best option?
