I don't post here often, but I am on IRC all the time for those of you that do know me. I have been having serious issues with the AOSP Roms. Cyanogen, Ruby, and Incredible Does all either freeze on me or reboot sooner or later. I've went so far as to install nothing else except the Rom and it still freezes or reboots. I've done this test with all three, I even dialed down the processor while on them and still NO DICE. I'm not an Android expert, but I do have a bachelor's in IT so I feel I'm pretty tech savvy. I was told on IRC that others are having similar problems with all the AOSP roms. I'm trying to get a consensus of who else is experiencing this and some more suggestions on how to fix this.
I appreciate all the help
~Thanks , AnthonyKash
Yeah this is very odd. A couple of us in ##incredibleroms have been working with AnthonyKash to figure this out. So far we have had no luck at all. No Sense UI ROMs do this to him, it seems like it's only vanilla ROMs. Very strange............

I know you posted this months ago but was wondering if you figured out what is causing this? I too can't use ANY aosp Rome because they all end up being unusable after a couple of hours. It's almost like the CPU slows down to a dramatic crawl. Only way to fix is to do a battery pull to reset. I have cleared cache, dalvik, uninstalled setcpu, all with no luck. Anyone have any insights?
Check integrity and space of SD card - maybe even remove, copy contents to PC, reformat to FAT32, copy a few nandroids back to SD and reinstall in device. Also make sure there is ample space on SD.
Absent that, have you tried a different SD card? AOSP ROMs interface w/ the SD considerably more than Sense ROMs.
Also, check radio version - recommend at least 2.15.xx
HBOOT version may come into play as well.
+1 to the above post. Seems like some sense files are bring left somewhere.

I don't think its my SD Card, I just got a new one a month ago and the same thing happened with my old SD Card. I have 4 gigs left empty of a 16 gig sd card. Would it make a difference if I installed from EMMC using RA recovery?
Hboot 0.92
Radio 2.15.00.09.01
Am on the latest versions of Hboot and radio right?
One thing I do find very weird is that even after doing full wipes of user data, cache and dalvik, when I boot up on CM7 my wifi settings still work. I would have expected I needed to reenter all of those settings. Or does this stuff get saved to the SD or internal storage...normal? If it is not, then why are data wipes in Recovery not cleanning up my files?
I've not had this problem.

Yep, those are the latest versions.
AOSP ROMs offer automatic reinstall of apps and data to Google when flashing, if that option is checked when flashed. That's where/how/why settings and/or apps still appear as before.
So, if Sense ROMs are not wonky, maybe it is an app you have installed on the AOSP ROM?
Long diagnostic road, (well understood by us IT folk ) but perhaps uninstall apps in reverse install date order of the app, reboot as you go thru, see which one may have been a culprit.
Absent that, perhaps factory reset in recovery, install an AOSP rom w/out choosing to reinstall apps.
Maybe try another different AOSP ROM?
I know the SD interacts quite a bit more with the SD compared to Sense ROMs - again, maybe copy SD card contents to PC, reformat SD to FAT32 either on the PC or in phone, maybe both - then d/l an AOSP ROM on a clean SD, see if it's still wonky.

Sense ROMS work great, its AOSP roms that are giving my phone fits lol. Well last night I tried something new.
-I changed my radio from 2.15.00.09.01 to 2.15.00.07.28 Official Froyo radio.
-Installed CM7 #14 from the EMMC versus SD CARD.
-"Hit Wipe All" in recovery about 10 times in a row before I flashed CM7
I hope changing the radio to "official" is what does it. Anyone running AOSP roms using the leaked radio 2.15.00.09.01 ?
Radio?
Yes, do let us know whether the xx.09 radio was the (a) culprit.
I run the older 2.15.xx.07.28 one, never had issues w/ AOSP ROMs.
I had an issue with this using cm7 nightlies, and I WOULD post it there but the new, ~totally awesome~ rule they are implementing (can't post in the dev forum w/ less than 10 posts) prevents me from doing that (Which means I have to spam the other sub forums?).
ANYWAYS, I got a bigger sd card from a friend, and I went to erase it under the sd card settings. Then i got a low space notification, saying I had 9 mb free of 7 Terbytes. Rebooting the phone caused it to go into boot loop. If your situation sounds like mine then do this
Boot into CWM, and from there you can mount the SD card and format it, as well as copy any backups.
I did not have any luck with restoring the phone to a previous AOSP rom, even after wiping the cache/dalvik. Maybe there's another one that could be wiped that I didn't do. Anyways, I installed a Sense based rom, and from there I was able to install Cyanogen mod.
Good luck.

Well it turns out that the radio version I was using was not the issue because the phone became unresponsive this morning when I tried to wake it up. To be specific, it does allow me to swipe to unlock but painfully in slow motion.
So that rules at the radio...which leaves me with its either the ROM/Kernel or some rogue app.
So this morning I wiped all user data in recovery and reinstalled CM7#14 but this time I did not log on to my google account during setup and have not installed any apps. So far no issues, but the true test is trying to wake the phone up tomorrow in the morning. If there are no issues, then that solves it (ITS A FREAKING APP).
If it is a rogue app that has been haunting me these past couple of weeks then who has the best way to identify which one is the offender? Why would a rogue app only affect me using AOSP roms and not Sense?
My suspicions are with..(Locale, Beautiful Widgets, ADW EX, Swype, CardioTrainer, Handcent) but I guess process of elimination is what its going to take.
Thanks to all for the help and recommendations.

Please tell me u meant 7gb not 7tb
If you have a SD card that huge I beg you to tell me where to get it
I've heard of a 2tb SD but they haven't released it

just wanted to give an udate on my issue...as I suspected it was an app that was causing my phone to crash using aosp roms. The offending app is Locale, wierd that a it never gave me problems using Sense based roms.

Good stuff. Glad to see it all finally worked out.
"I don't know what specific directory or partition is messed up but every single time my phone reboot I think I lose my user data or something. All of my apps force close and the tutorial about how to use my phone keyboard starts as if I just flashed a new Rom. This keeps happening no matter which Rom I use. I don't know why this is happening. I've tried 2 different SD cards and it still happens. Please Help!"
I didn't exactly figure out what was wrong but I found a solution. There was something wrong with my cache partitions.

What ROM(s) are you using? From the Terminal Emulator, have you tried running fix_permissions? I run Redemption, and when I install a new version of it that's the first thing I do, then reboot.

I'm running redemptive 1.9 and I've tried multiple other roms and still have the same problem. Fix permissions didn't work either. I get an error with the packages.XML file. This problem happens no matter what rom I try.
Hey guys. I had the same $#it happen to me last week! I was sitting on the couch and cleaning my rooted Droid with stock Rom... and when I held the power button to shutdown phone I got a long vibrate instead of the usual short one! This got my attention, and sure enough, when I finally took out the battery and reported, I got the UIDs are inconsistent.... error along with the I'm feeling lucky button. Force Closes, galore! I fixed it by doing a hard reset and basically returning my phone to factory setting. Still rooted, but lost all my contacts,favorites, texts, apps... basically everything that wasn't on the SD card...:-/ still trying to restore all my settings... it was perfectly set to how I wanted it.

I have noticed for most of his roms that he has been stating in the OP that you must partition your SD card. Is that really necessary, I am quite happy with how the latest CyanogenMod since it is working for me, but would like to try out his newest Kingdom rom due to it being Sense 3.0. So my questionis:
Would it be ok for me to just do factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik and then flashing his rom along with the pri downgrade and stock kernal?

I know that you can do that, however, you partition your SD Card so that it can store ROM cache and application cache without taking up your internal memory. These new 3.0 ROMs are extremely large and take up a lot of internal storage on your phone. So if you don't partition your SD you will be out of memory on your phone really fast. Hope that helps and answers your question.

Yes that does help, thanks. Also, you wouldn't by any chance know if we have to use that stock kernal, do you? Are other kernals compatible? I have seen that some people are using the Tiamat one, but I would like to use the latest Savage Zen if its possible.
You don't need to flash the stock kernel fyi. It's already baked in. He put it there to d/l in case you try an alternate kernel and don't like the results, you can always flash back to stock kernel. Most alternate kernels Bork the camera and our video capability. I have only stuck with the stock kernels, i have no suggestions on alternates.

As far as I know, none of the alternative Kernels work 100% since the devs don't have the actual release to rip apart. Most of the kernels were built for Froyo and can run on Gingerbread and Sense 3.0, but like KB112 said it will bork the cam.
I came from CM7 as well, I loved it but I missed sense, this kingdom rom virus is working on is really nice, unless you are a sense hater I recommend trying it. I would also just go ahead and partition your sd card, roms and just getting bigger and bigger and htc still havent figured out that we always need more system space then they give us.
it is not required, but it will give you a lot more space to install your apps from the market
Ok thanks guys, now I guess I just need to get my new card and then I will partition it
Sense 3.0 Roms...cant get past White HTC EVO 4g screen
I have been having a MAJOR problem flashing any of Viruses Sense 3.0 roms. I've tried A0.1 and A0.2. I have partitioned the SD card (2GB on ext3, the SD card is the one the phone came with), wiped, wiped, and wiped again. The rom installs on the phone fine, but when I try to flash it, it never goes past the white HTC EVO 4G screen. The white screen stays on for about 20 seconds, goes off, then comes back on again, and this cycle happens over and over again. I've let the phone sit for up to 15 minutes at a time, but it never goes past the white screen. I've never seen the rom's splash screen. Multiple battery pulls and restarts haven't helped. I can't figure out what is going on. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. I tried flashing the DoubleShot rom, same results. Thanks in advance.

Not sure of your issues as it both had worked well for me. (though I am back on gingersense b4 until a bit later tonight) You may want to do a bit of reading in the roms thread.
As a side note though the original card is only class 2 (read quite slow) and therefore will not be of much use to run data or apps from anyway. 16gb class 10 cards can be gotten on amazon for about 25 - 30 bones. (maybe cheaper)
Thanks for the response. I was wondering if the SD card was the problem. I will look into getting another one. Just curious to see if anyone else had any ideas.
can anyone help?
i had troubles flashing last night. mine would actually hang on the white evo 4g screen and not go any further. i would pull the battery and reflash and it would work.i must have flashed about 6 or 7 times trying to get everything in order. finally got all the icons to show up and seemed to work right except the weather would crash and the gallery would just show a white screen, never partitioned the sd card though. so now i am loading all my stuff back to the sd card after a partition. there was two parts to the partition, first size i put was 1 gig and the second size it asked for i put 512k. i don't know what each one is for but what do i do after i finish transfering everything back on. just flash as normal? do i actually see the extra partition and put something in it?
from what i saw last night this sense 3.0 is true eye candy. you can't get enough of it. it looks really sexy!
First off sorry for posting yet another thread about the famous "error package file is invalid" deal...this happened to me on my rooted o.g incredible mcsense v2.6 rom which is android version 2.3.4....
ive searched online and threads and nothing that helps me plus all other threads are methods for other phones havent seen one for the o.g incredible...
i got alot of apps on my incredible and since thats the case i got apps2sd plus had to flash ext4all dalvik moved.zip to fix the low storage situation the incredible has anyway im able to install 3rd party apps so i know i got room on my internal storage since i moved alot of apps to my sd using apps2sd and also cause of the ext4all that i flashed but just yesterday when i tried to update dolphin browser from google play it gave me the famous error...
also noticed that once it gave me this error message something like...not enough storage on the usb or sd something like that cant remember i got a 32mb memory not sure how much internal storage i think i got 100mb left not sure tho but know i got some im kind of new to some of this stuff but familiar with certain things flashing roms etc....
i did try clearing the cache data and and force stopping fix with a reboot but no go...also tried that and uninstalled the google play update and rebooted and also did all that then going into recovery mode and wiped the cache partition and dalvik cache but yet nothing either...
with all that is there finally some kind of universal fix for this???? or am i missing something here if so what is wrong ??? please someone help its a real stick up the ass

Use a bigger sd card
i meant internal storage...i got a 32gb now...will i be able to install anymore apps and not worry about the application not installed message???
I have been having the same problem on McTwist 1.1. I have flashed several times and within a few months, it always returns. I have tried VR Superwipe, CWM cleared eveything that is possible, have uninstalled the market, cleared cache, Dalvik etc. I have flashed another rom and flashed back, I have skipped backing up and restoring and started from scratch. McTwist has the EXT4 MOD already, but I have tried flashing it again anyway. I have used apps2sd, but I hate the fact that I have over half my app storage space still free (like 400 of 748MB).
So far I have not found a single thing to get rid of it permanently. I am thinking of flashing back to stock with an RUU, then regaining root (I am s-OFF) and trying again. I like this phone a lot and now that Verizon will kick me off my Alltel plan if I upgrade, I am hesitant to get something newer (the newer phones suck right now anyway) It sucks not having any market apps update.:crying:
I believe my data2sd has corrupted due to my battery. My battery has been a bit ropey for a while now. I charged it fully a few hours ago and hadnt used it, I started playing a game and the battery was at 98% but after a couple minutes use the battery dropped immediately from 98% to 0 and shut down. Apon restarting my device there is literally nothing on the desktop, no widgets no apps and the background has reset back to the standard one. I only have access to a few apps which i presume are on the sd part of the card not the 2gb where everything else lives on the data2sd partition.
I also get an error "The application Google Voice (process com.google.android.apps.googlevoice) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" everytime i restart the phone.
I believe i am experiencing number 11 on the supernova dev support page here: supernova.droidzone.in/category/troubleshooting
I could go through the entire re flashing the ROM route but i had a few questions i wanted answering before to see if its really necessary.
1) I believe not, but is there anything i can do that will just restore the phone back to normal. I stupidly didnt bother creating a restore point with 4ext so reflashing will mean i lose everything.
2) Can i simply reinstalll data2sd somehow or something else that will avoid me having to go through the entire reflash process?
3) If i back up the phone just now, reflash the phone then restore the back up is this likely to bring my problem back from the restore?
All my apps are still there on the card it just seems that data2sd has stopped loading everything now because of battery dying the way it did. This confuses me though as i often drop the thing or just pull the battery straight out if im switching sims and it has never happened before.
EDIT: I've just thought of something else i did before the battery killed the phone. I had downloaded CacheFixer and wiped the cache because i was having trouble with cache space stopping me from downloading something. Thinking about it now im not sure if data2sd or supernova may have had something it relys on stored in the cache?
I just confirmed wiping or moving the cache causes data2sd to become corrupted resulting in having to reinstall the rom. I am still unsure if there is a way to restore your apps after doing this however i doubt it.

Do a nandroid backup, reinstall your ROM, then only restore Data and sd-ext. Try this.
