Thank you for your time and effort on building this rom. Rom is snappy and quick. About the GP issue, I had galaxy exhibit 4g before this phone. Had the same issue, gp had corrupted data in it before the dev released the rom. Maybe that's the same issue here. Don't have cpu, or I would fix it. Hope someone can fix it, rom is stable other than that issue.

make sure you are factory reseting typing yes to wipe data and do another full advanced wipe of dalvic cache, cache ,data and system
and if you want after install do another factory reset to be sure

are you wiping all this like i said ?
Yes, wiped and wiped and wiped. Reinstalled 5 different times today, wiped some more, still force closing. Can u fix this so we all can enjoy you're hard work?

you cant use the play store like it is when you flash new rom you have to goto manage apps and find playstore and clear data and cache and then it should work if you have any issues after doing this then wait about 10 minutes so the dalvic cache can build up before you go back to use it again try this and let us know what happens

This sounds great. I am a noob but have been learning. Used TWRP and ODIN to root but never have installed a custom ROM. It sounds pretty straight forward according to your instructions. A couple of questions if you don't mind. After the factory reset are you still rooted? I downloaded the updated file to my PC, so do I just place the whole zip file on my phones SD card? Should I format the card or does it get wiped as well during the other steps?
Thanks for your help and work on this!!

you push zip to your sdcard then follow instructions above do not format sdcard that will wipe everything on the sd card off what i mean is once the rom boots up from being installed then you go to your settings

goto applications manager

goto "all"

scroll down to google play store

find clear data toggle and tick it this will clear cache as well then you should be able to use google play store without problem

if you have issues refer to post #15 above
