Develop Bugs

Froyo update has rendered my phone useless, not bricked

Hello and thank you ahead of time for reading my thread. I spent a good deal of time searching for solutions in your forums but couldn't find anything related, so apologies if this is a repost.
I recently flashed my stock htc incredible with the leaked 2.2 ROM. While the flashing and installation of the new OS was successful, the phone itself is now acting really weird.
First, it is incredibly slow. There is a noticeable lag between the time I touch the screen and the time the touch actually registers. For example, to dial a number, I have to long press every button for it to register.
The second and much more annoying issue is the phone starts doing all sorts of things on its own. When sending a text message for example, all these keys are randomly pressed, it goes to the desktop, back to sending a text, inputs all these random characters, and sometimes frustratingly on occasion sends the text message on its own. This happens on and off and I haven't been able to figure out what triggers.
My question is, what can I do to fix it? I've reinstalled the ROM several times already and the problems appear every single time.
If I can't fix it, I'd love to go back to my previous stock rom and just wait for HTC's update.
Your help is greatly appreciated it.
Thanks.

have you cleared data and cache? do you have clockworkmod recovery install? please go through all the steps you went through to install the 2.2 leak

If ur rooted then u have clockworkmod installed...you should do a factory reset thru clockworkmod and wipe all data and cache ...
Then after that perhaps try a good and stable ROM ..

Wow thank you for such a prompt response.
I followed the steps in this thread:
[ROM]Leaked Stock 2.2 with Sense [LEAKED ROM - SOME BUGS!!]
(it's on the development front page, I would post a link but since I am a new member I am not allowed to).
In summary, I first updated to Radio version indicated in that thread (version 2).
I then ran unrevoked 3 which installed clockworkmod recovery. Then, I did a wipe. After, in the recovery screen I installed from the zip file of the mod that was in my SD card.
This is all I have done to date.

Okay...good to go.
You should boot into recovery aka clockworkmod...
Then do factoryreset wipe cache and data...
And I would recommend u install a ROM that u would like and u should be fine.
if ya like sense do skyraider....if ya like vanilla do CM6 test 8....and ya should be okay
If ya get stuck feel free to pm me and I can give u my Gtalk and can help furthur if ya need.
Cheers

With an eyglass cleaninn cloth? That worked for me.
I first came across the problem while testing the rom i made, jdfroyo, so initially thought it was my rom. I wiped my hands (which were sweaty) and then thoroughly cleaned my phone off. I havent had issues since.

I have heard that cleaning screen with a certain product (don't remember if it was like soap or alcohol) is not recommended as it leaves an almost invisible layer and can send it to that whacko stage of doing weird stuff. Double check on that... Otherwise, I am with the others > Wipe data/cache > then do a ROM re-flash.

You are very very right!
The screen is not his issue...noobness is jke ...I am helping him on Gtalk ..

Hi,
Thanks all for your help. And thanks to acid for helping me out on gtalk.
After trying several different ROMs, my phone continues to be really laggy. For example, I can type an entire word in the keyboard before it appears on the screen, and usually only the first few letters register.
I think my screen is just malfunctioning and it happened to coincide with the day I flashed my phone so I am just going to do a warranty exchange.
Thanks again everyone!

[Q] won't boot into recovery

I am using BakedSnack 1.8. It is a GREAT ROM and works 100%.
I wanted to a flash, and discovered I can't get there.
I don't believe it is a BakedSnack issue, I tried another ROM prior and add issues, maybe it left something behind.
When I try to boot into recover by any method RM, Quickboot I get the white HTC screen. With the Power/Volume, Bootloader options comes up, I pick recovery and get the white HTC screen. battery has to be removed and EVO is allowed to bootup normally. I have left HTC screen on for 15min. just to make sure.
need help ? I an not a programner/developer and new to ROMs and Andriod so please be specific.

I have the same problem. Did you ever find a solution to this problem?

I had a similar issue a few weeks ago, I was able to fix this by downloading and installing ROM Manager and flashing the alternate recovery option again, hope this helps.

[Q] Cyanogen Desire HD Problem

Hi there,
I'm having a problem with my Desire HD, its been rebooting itself occasionally, maybe once every 2-3 hours. I've got the latest recovery and latest radio, I've tried other ROMs and I'm still having this problem, other than that, it's great, so smooth and fast!
Can anyone help please?!
I'm very new to all this so please be patient.
Radio version is -26.04.02.17_M2
Cyanogen Version is: CyanogenMod-7-03022011-NIGHTLY-DesireHD
If you need any more information please let me know.
Thank you in advance

Try the cm7 release candidate 1 as that is more stable and not as buggy.....same thing really as nightly very minor changes aesthetically.

Right okay i will do. I had the exact same problem on the RC1 aswell .. But I'll try that and let you know..
Thanks for your help

Before flashing whatever you settle on, be sure to wipe /cache /dalvik-cache and /system from within clockwork recovery as it may be left over chaff in the directories causing the instability, BEWARE though this will wipe all your user data.

Yeah I will do,
Thanks Pal

It might be a hardware problem. I know there has been issues with the sim card slot. Make sure your sim is in securely and even secure it with a small piece of card or paper jammed in with it. This solved the problem on my friend's dhd. Hope this works for you. Please post your results.

Hi there everyone, just a quick update.
None of the other roms iv tried seem to be having an effect, and as for the memory card and sim issue.. Im doubtful as it never had any issues before i rooted it and put cyanogen on it.. my next step is to try a different radio.
Does anyone have any other suggestions??
Thanks.

Also i forgot to mention, it only appears to reboot when i recieve a message, but, only when there's a message and i havent opened it or unlocked it, when its been there for 5-10 minutes, then i'll press the unlock buttin and that's when it'll reboot. But it only ever does this when i press the unlock button..
Don't know if that's significant or not..

yeah, ive also noticed that it reboots ever as often..
i didnt take it on until i read this post..
also what ive noticed is that when it reboots, my keyboard setting goes back to default i.e. from swiftkey (which i have to set after it boots) to the android keyboard..
did anyone else come across this?. any suggestions?

[Q] We Can Now Dual Boot With Boot Manager App!!!

Disclaimer: I didn't create Boot Manager and am not affiliated with the developers in anyway.
I didn't see anyone posting this yet so I figured some of you might be interested.
There's an app on the market now called Boot Manager that's 2.99 and allows you to dual boot up to 5 roms. You still have your main rom which is stored directly in your phone's memory and then up to four more that are stored and run from your sdcard. Because you're running secondary roms from your sdard those may not run as fast as your main phone rom but my preliminary testing has been pretty good.
Boot manager is simple to set up and use and requires no special skills. You don't even need to partition your sdcard.
All you have to do is put whatever roms you wish to run on your sdcard and then install them through Boot Manager. Initially setting up the roms takes maybe 15 minutes but once your done you can boot back and forth very quickly, much faster than doing nandroids.
Enjoy
Update: I'm now running 2 AOSP roms Kushdeck's 1.3b2(main rom) and SalvageMod 1.4 and a Sense rom SynergyRls1 and haven't noticed any major issues. Gps works on each rom as well as 4g. Synergy does have some lag and for this reason took some patience and a little longer to initially set up but it works decently for running off of an sdcard. On a side note I've heard claims that Synergy does have some lag issues running normally.
I plan on ordering a better sdcard with a faster class rating such as class 4 or 6 so hopefully this will decrease lag but overall I'm very impressed with Boot Manager. If nothing else this gives you a chance to test drive roms without having to go through the whole process of replacing your daily driver.
PLEASE READ: I've reached out to one of the developers of this app who's from XDA and asked for his help in answering the problems some of you are having. I wish I could help more especially since this a paid app and you guys deserve to have an app that work. Below are the links to email support through the app website as well as the one of the developers Conap who's from XDA. Maybe if they receive enough emails they will shoot over to this thread to help.
Sorry I can't help more. All I can do is verify that it's working on my Evo but don't have enough advanced skills to do a lot more.

Fantastic alternative to being able to update prl/data profile on aosp considering that functionality hasn't been adapted to aosp yet.

Yea that's a good point. I'm running Kushdeck's 1.3b2 gb aosp as my main rom and didn't even think of that.

Alright, this looks really great. Love the idea. Just wondering for those who have it, since there are different kernels associated with each ROM (going from CM to Synergy) would you have to go back in and wipe battery stats? Also, would vipermod carry from ROM to ROM or would you need to set it up for every ROM?
How much room on the SD card would you need to boot 5 ROMS?
edit: quite a bit of room, have over a gig on sd card and can't load synergy. Have to do some cleaning later. Wish it could import nands, that would rock.
edit 2: cleared room, installed synergy on slot 1, rebooted, hanging on evo 4g screen..... bah

Im trying this now. I have Mikg as my phone rom and installing miui as a test. Will report back when I do some testing on kernals and battery life.

I'm getting error on editing boot.img when trying to install salvage.
Edit: even though this is an app, someone move it to the dev section. Needs more attention.

i need some more instructions. What are we supposed to wipe in the Rom Installer section? Also, how do you flash Gapps?
hasn't worked yet, boo... 2 battery yanks and nand restores
Edit: Got into salvagemod from synergy through the app. Didn't flash the Gapps, so it wouldn't recognize the app, so when I tried to go back to the "phone ROM", I get a "boot.img failed to flash, not rebooting" error.

yeah crazy... stuck in splash screen sooooo yay no bueno thus far...

Try doing it again. I've had that happen. Also the developer does state that not all roms will work. I've had 1 so far not work but I know Salvage works because I'm running it as a secondary right now.

Good question. That confused me first also. You only need to do wipes if you're installing a new rom over an original one in a slot. If the slot is empty you don't need to do any wipes.
I can't address the other problem since I'm not technically proficient enough with the app yet to give you suggestions. Sorry
To flash gapps just install the rom but don't reboot install gapps over the rom in the same slot.

Try doing it again or try another rom. My first tries didn't work either. Also as I mentioned above the developer says this doesn't work with all roms yet.

It takes a while. Since it's booting from your sdcard it's not quite as fast the first time as when you normally flash a rom. Mine stayed on splash screen for a little while to the first time I rebooted. Also try another rom just to see if that works for you.

Also if you go back to OP I've posted links to email support or one of the devs who's from XDA. I pm'd him personally asking if he's willing to shoot over here and try to help. If you get the time send him a PM. Maybe if enough people from here contact him he will help.

It does not work on my evo. tried everything but it errors out while finishing building the rom.
Their description does say which phones it supports and EVo is not on there. They probably wont respond to any evo users (at least according to their description, since its a non supported phone).

If you want really smooth ROM (and of course you love Sense) then flash Kwbr ROM.
I am on CM7.2 but never faced any FCs so far

will it work....?

I'm a bit confused- that doesn't look as if you flashed Kwbr ROM...? The .exe files definitely aren't for flashing. What guide(s)/tutorial(s) did you use?

An ruu will give you a completely stock phone and in 9/10 cases will fix all software faults, if your still experiencing touchscreen problems after running an ruu then it could be a hardware fault and you may need a new digitiser.
