[Q] Random restarts with AOSP roms - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone works flawlessly with the stock rom or any sense-based rom. However, whenever I try to run an AOSP rom (tried CM and Evervolv so far), I get random restarts a few times a day while the phone is idling. I do wipe data, cache, and dalvik twice each before flashing. It happens whether or not I use the bundled kernels or a different kernel, and it happens even if I don't install any applications at all. I love the feel of AOSP roms, but I'm starting to think they are a pipe dream for me. Any thoughts/suggestions? Thanks.

[Q] G2 Stuck on CM Splashscreen on Reboot(CM7 Stable)

Hey all, I have only been flashing custom ROMs onto my G2 for about a month now, so this might be a dumb oversight. Ever since RC4, I have had an issue where every single time I reboot or power off the phone and power it back on, I get the HTC screen for a few seconds and then the CyanogenMod 7 splash screen with the arrow going round and round. And that's it. Even overnight. Now the ROM runs BEAUTIFULLY all the time. No GPS, Google Sych, or Battery Life Issues. Love it, so any help that would allow me to stick with this ROM would be great.
I am running CM 7.0.0
.26 Radio
the base CM7 kernel (2.6.32.28)
Overclocked to 1017Mhz
What should I do to get this issue to stop?

Have you tried a full wipe and then reflash? What rom did you come from? A few details about those things might make it easier for people to help u
dont send me pm's crying about how i hurt your feelings in a thread
I came from the stock post-ota ROM. I did a full wipe when I installed RC4, but I haven't since, just wipe data then re-flash. Should I wipe everything - data, cache, dalvik, etc and then re-flash? Of course Nandroid before...
just cache and dalvik was enough... no data wipe needed (at least.. I haven't needed that before)
But I still need to re-flash the ROM after I clear cache and Dalvik though, right?
Well, apparently, that worked out. Everything is humming along just fine. Thanks a lot for the help everyone.

X instead of 3g.

Hey guys...
I flash the new Kingdom Stock Rom and since is not stable for a daily I had to go back to a z rom.. I try Uber z, Warm Z.. and both are giving me a little bug that I havent had with any other rom...
I get a...
Attention..
"A network error has occurred retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen."
I also get an X instead of the 3g icon when i get this message... apps that are affected are..
Tapatalk
Dropbox
Market
Facebook
I didnt had this problem before, it all started after I flash to the 3. sense... I also had noticed that the phone will freeze sometimes and I have to do a Battery Pull....
Any comments or suggestion would be appreciated...
The "X" means you have no network connection and those apps mentioned require a data connection so that's why they are effected. I would highly recommend wiping the phone (I always wipe 3x's although ppl say it isnt needed) and reinstalling a rom. Since you are starting from scratch I would recomend either the GB leak for our phone because it works with no bugs or the gingersense remix rom by wdfowty. I am running remix and it is amazing. Super smooth and as snappy as stock but with sense 2.1/3.0 elements.
Also when you wipe make sure you wipe data, cache, delvik cache, and battery stats.

I am wondering why this happens as time goes by while using a particular ROM,
I am actually having 3g/date connection problems atm I had good 3g but now nothing..I am only running on wifi now.
I am using SR3.5 and Magnolia with default Kernels pretty much default ROMS.

[Q] Camera/CamRecorder Problems "NeedHelp"

I cant say when this started, because i barely use the camera. but i notice the video recorder wouldn't record about a week ago. I'd hit record and it wouldn't record. [still showed the picture through the camera]
[Camera] when on the camera screen, its a blank white screen. It still snaps pix, but of a blank white screen.
[Cam Recorder] still doesn't record any video, but now also show the same blank all white screen.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!!
What rom are you using, and are you running a custom kernel? Your issue sounds suspiciously like what happens when you run a froyo kernel on a gingerbread Sense rom.
Like jesuspgt said, might be caused if you have been flashing different kernels. Try wiping factory, cache, dalvik, etc. If that doesn't work, wipe everything and reflash the rom

Just wiped everything and reinstalled the rom, and now its working again. But the crazy part is, I already did that twice before. I guess third times a charm. Or maybe it was because i wiped the sd before reinstalling the rom the 3rd. time.
Is that rom gingerbread? If so, then it probably used at least part of the leaked gingerbread sense release as a base, which would explain why flashing that netarchy kernel caused your camera problems.
As far as I know, all gingerbread roms with Sense currently have this issue.

[Q] Can't install most AOSP ROMS

Greetings,
Starting with the first release of the combined PAC/PA/AOKP rom I have been unable to install most AOSP roms for the T-mobile Note II. Currently I was able to get AOKP 4.3.1 installed but no Paranoid, Illusion, or PAC/PA/AOKP hybrid will run. They install fine but I get all FC's once it boots. I have updated recovery, tried multiple wiping including sys, cleared cache and dalvik just before first boot and after flash, tried fixing permissions which always fails, and I tried flashing without GAPPS as well... still no dice. Any ideas? On a side note, do any of you have a good S-pen app setup while running AOSP roms. I dloaded a handful of apps but nothing feels cohesive.
Thank you
EDIT: This issue just went away on it's own. For some reason I can install whatever now and I changed nothing.... crazy.

Problems flashing Touchwiz ROMs

Whenever I flash Touchwiz ROMs I get force closes left and right when I first boot the phone up. I have no idea what's wrong. AOSP ROMs seem to work fine.
Sounds like you're not fully wiping, or you've got a bad download. Check md5s on any ROM you download, and ALWAYS do a factory reset in recovery (2 or 3 won't hurt either) and manually wipe System, Data, Dalvik, and Cache before flashing a new ROM. Don't try restoring any backed up system data either...
I have encountered the same problem, when flashing my latest DomPop builds. It just takes doing everything @Morningstar said, multiple times, and if you get force closes, reboot, try again. It may take a few times.
Also, the newest DomPop v0.5 will let you choose in your initial setup if you want a TouchWiz launcher or another one of like 10.. Nova Launcher, Google, etc. It is pretty dope ?
