I have a Nexus 4 running stock JB 4.2 Rooted with CWM Touch and Matrix kernel.

I finally decided to flash Paranoid ROM on it and everytime it reboots the start up wizard crashes and gapps crashes. Only thing I can do is reboot the phone.

I followed the Paranoid Forum Topic steps to flash, i've flash many androids before, so this is a first for me.

But I know many people running paranoid on the internet without issues, and since I dont have more then 10 posts on xda (old account is lost in oblivion. Really old email) I cant post in the thread asking for help. I created one but no one has been able to help yet.

I was hoping someone here can help. I tried googling a general "flashed rom now crashes" etc search to see if I can fix this issue some how but nothing.

I hope you guys can help!

Did you clear cache and dalvik cache in CWM after flashing the ROM ?

Also check that there is not a newer version of Gapps available, some ROMs need updated versions

This. I've had a few crashes on first boot on of new ROMs because the cache and dalvik cache hadn't been cleared. Also, make sure you're using the correct version of gapps; there are two versions for Jelly Bean (one for 4.1.x, one for 4.2.x), make sure you have the one for 4.2.x (20121212). If that fails, try wiping and reflashing both the ROM and gapps.

See thats what I was wondering. But in the forum thead, the gapps that goes along with the rom is "gapps-jb-20121011.zip"

Should I still try the latest one?

Since you're installing a 4.2-based ROM, you need to use the 20121212 version of gapps. The 20121011 version is only for 4.1. There were enough changes in the Android codebase between versions 4.1 and 4.2 that they needed to compile a new version of gapps to account for the difference.

Ok ill definitely try that tomorrow. Sadly I assumed so but thought following the thread would be good instead of my own gut instinct.

If one method doesn't work it won't do any damage trying the other, just means you might have to re-flash something

I had problems trying to install it on my Galaxy Note.

I had to install the 10.1 Kernel first then go to advanced, reboot recovery, then flash the paranoid rom and 4.2.1 gapps straight after without rebooting to stop it crashing and locking up.

    • Report: iPhone Air isn't dead, and a second-generation model is planned for 2027

      I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.

      You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
