Root [ROM]Black Plague w/ Plague kernel

I am still having problems with my wife's phone. I managed to install the ROM perfectly, and it works perfectly, but everytime the phone is turned off and back on again, or we restart it, it goes through a series of bootloops, anywhere from 10-20 before it finally goes through. What may be causing this stupid problem? I can restart and turn off/on my phone with out any bootlooping, so why is my wife's phone acting up! :(

Hey PG, did you manage to fix the Wifi bug? Where the Wifi icon stays turned on/highlighted when you actually turn it OFF?
Thats only a visual bug, your wifi is turning on/off as it should, ar at least mine is. ;)

I uploaded that mms apk a couple pages back.
You mean you uploaded a mms.apk, not 'that' one. lol

I would have to get my to replicate so I could have a clue as to why its doing it. You can try to do a logcat n pastebin it n I might find sumtin in it.

Okay fixed my no internal memory issue with titanium backup! yee

Hey PG is there a wifi fix? I cannot for the life of me keep a stable wifi connection it constantly resets really damn irritating when downloading movies :/ lol
Dunno, mines been rock solid and only has wifi for a connection.

Can you tell me how to go about doing a "logcat n pastebin it"?

Edit* - Never mind, after my wife's phone kinda bricked, I finally managed to fix it. I have it on stock ZVA and rooted until a later version comes out.

Funny/Random question.
I have both my phone and my wife's phone at work atm. Mine is sporting the BP ROM. My Wife's phone is sporting stock ZVA. We both have the latest PRL (3030). They were both bought at the same Corporate store (a few days apart). But some how, my wife's phone gets a better signal than my phone. For example, I never get 4G in the building where I work only 1x, yet, looking at my wife's phone right now, it is always on 4G. I only get 4G out side, and most of the time while in my home. WTF is up? Is there any logic to this? (I'ma have to ninja my wife's phone! She'll never notice lol)

its working fine for me.

Anyone else having issues with the gallery?

djramod, try clearing the cache/data for the gallery app in settings > manage apps.


Not getting force closes, but I am having a hard time accessing pics via gallery, they don't show there. Also takes a really long time.
if i go to sd and choose the pic to open in gallery, it doesn't force close, but opens really weird with no options to share or do anything.

WOuldn't have noticed if this wasn't posted, i use quickpic instead of gallery anyway.

Idk what the hell is going on, I'm not having anywhere near close to the amount of issues you guys are experiencing.


Lol, I swear sometimes that you and I must be the only ones with a good data connection or Wi-Fi that isn't routed through McDonald's or Starbucks.
I reflashed bp on a fresh download. 0 issues beyond basic ui things like the dropdown loosing a button and dropping the theme when in landscape. 27 he's 15 min and 42 seconds running @ 1.8 without a reboot or hiccup (I did powerdown and reboot manually 20min after flashing.)

Thanks pg.

Lol, yeah no shit. Either we are really special or everyone else is really unlucky. (I've got another theory but I'd rather not stir up the mob with their pitchforks ;))

I've ran into those same issues but other than that nothing else so far that I can really think of. Definitely nothing deal breaking. The battery life difference between this and broken out is just nuts, enough to take note of for sure.

Wouldn't know, my phones are always plugged in, between phan, yt and phone porn (teardowns and themes) I eat electricity. Been milking 3% for two hours now.

I have the bluetooth pairing fixed, it was a issue in the themed settings.apk. The gallery works great for me, so might have been with some of the stuff I added back. But I have noticed the phone reboots when accessing the sdcard via windows etc. I have no issues with adb tho. ;)

So today I missed three calls because I didn't hear my phone ring. My ringtone was reset to a stock one. Tried to set my ringtone back but could not find them. My gallery also disappeared. My SD wasn't being fully scanned.

Fixed problem by removing battery for a few minutes and everything booted fine. Thought I would put this up for those who are having this issue.

I just had this issue today and ended up getting a new sd card. I've been having apps disappear too. However I'm not running this Rom just zva.
