Hello all, I am new to the world of rooting and roming with my Incredible. I have tried a couple of ROMs, and have decided that I really like Nil's Business Gingersense 3.5. I installed this ROM following the instructions shown on Nils thread, and I really love the Sense 3.5 experience.
One problem I have been having is that periodically, when exiting an app, rather than going to the home screen it will show an HTC screen, and then loading for a few seconds before showing the homescreen. By reading Nil's official thread, I see that someone else had the same problem, and it was suggested that he may be using a task killer that is killing the process. I am not using any task killers, and am having the same problems.
Has anyone else run into this issue, and been able to correct it?
Thanks,
Brennan
I'm on nils 2.0 right now and I'm not getting that problem... Try reinstalling the Rom and if that doesn't work try freeing up some memory in the task killer ... In notifications > quick settings and scroll down till u see "Total memory" and press kill all

I've been having the same issues with my nils 3.5. It seems to happen mostly when i'm backing out of the stock browser. No task killers for me either.

Same problem here. I installed over my stock 2.2 ROM (I reset factory setting and formatted /system). I just did the "clean" wipe on installing the stock 2.3 ROM and then installed the Business Gingersense. I've only been up and running for an hour so I haven't had too much time to test it to see if it helped.
I've tried a number of things, and am still getting the reboots. I uninstalled some apps that run in the background that I don't use much (Google+) and that seems to have helped, but I still have the reboots periodically. I haven't had a chance to wipe, but I am doubtful that will help since I followed Nils instructions to install stock GB and then his rom.

I was getting it too mostly after using the stock browser and handcent. I flashed his latest update and its happening less, I also have only had the lockscreen freeze once on his latest as well.
I have had the same issue, but can't seem to find a rhyme or reason for it. I have tried to track the various scenario's with no luck. I just flashed to the latest of tiny's Kernel and Nil's 2.2 for 3.5. Hopefully that will help.
I had a couple of spontaneous reboots with earlier versions of Nil's 3.5, but when I flashed v2.1 I went through the longer process of flashing the stock OTA first per his installation instructions and it actually seems to have helped! It's been stable and relatively snappy. I installed EXT4ALL and am using the smartass v2 governor with SetCPU.
Look up V6 Supercharger, In the Nil's Gingersence 3.5 development thread. Supercharger worked for me. Haven't had the reloading Problem for a week now.

That's the only solution available for now. The V6 Supercharger Script. You have to bulletproof the launcher with the V6 script

I installed and ran the V6 supercharger script and no more launcher reboots!
Thanks for the suggestion!

I can't tell if my phone was getting this way before I upgraded to Fresh 3.4.0.1 or if it happened after the upgrade... but my phone is sluggish. I am running the stock kernel with no OC. Sometimes I'll check my CPU with SystemPanel and it says it's constantly around 95-100% which a reboot fixes.
Is this a problem with Fresh? I have been more than happy with Fresh 3.3.0.1. No complaints at all.
Or is this a problem with a specific app? My wife loves to play Bubble Blast on my phone, and when she does my phone gets VERY warm and drains my battery like no other.
Has anyone else had problems after Fresh 3.4.0.1?
Does anyone else play Bubble Blast and have the same problem?
Thanks.
I was running fresh 3.4 for a day or two and it seemed quicker than cm6 for me.

I've tried fresh 3.4 highly doubtful its the Rom, you can't see which process is taking up all the CPU cycles?

Yeah? Would wiping cache/data help? Or is it possible that Bubble Blast is just a rogue app using all my CPU power?

Nothing looks like it is using more CPU that is should. I'm not having the problem right now, but normally it just says CPU usage is at 90+%
All the other kernels are making me get a line in my screen when scrolling. The only one that didn't do that was stock#17, can someone help me fix my kernel problem or least direct me to stock 17. Thanks in advance, I appreciate it.

You do know rls5 is out right?
What did you wipe before you flashed it? I would highly recommend using Calikulin's format all zip
Flash this, and then reflash the ROM. This should help you
Make sure everything is up to date (PRI, PRL, Radio)
Then flash a #15 kernel. That will fix your problem. Netarchy has a couple of good ones out and MS79723 has a really good SBC one out as well.
RLS4 is packaged with an outdated kernel, which when everything is updated causes screen tearing which is what you're experiencing.
Update everything, update kernel and you're good to go.
As an alternative, RLS5 has an updated kernel if you don't wanna go 3rd party with the kernel flashing, so backing up with titanium backup or my backup (both have free versions in the market) and then doing a full wipe and flash will also fix your problem.
Hope this helps.
The only thing wrong with 5 is me updating the radios. I didn't wanna do the full wipe for optimal use. The screen tearing happened on 5 and 4. Any kernal besides stock.

So that format all gives me updated software or what?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
So I decided to just update my PRL and that worked. My phone is not lagging or tearing. I didn't think that would do the trick but it worked. Thanks guys.

i am having MAJOR problems with rls 5 though. i'll see if i can get them sorted out. if not, i'll post. i think caulkin's 1.8 extended data settings messed me up, bcuz now i can only get text messages while in a phone call, and i dont think i am getting 3g.
One reason why I just stuck with 4. My internet was slow AND I had that browser slowness 4 host file flashed..just went back to 4..

Every now and again (6 times yesterday) I get soft reboots (back to bootanimation) on my Device. (While running almost every ROM, although I am running CM7 RC1 at the moment)
The next time it happens, what would be the best thing to look at? LogCat or kmsg?
I would like to figure out if it is the ROM or a rouge (crashing) app that is causing the problem?
If there is anymore info that would help, please let me know?
Thanks
Stew
Anyone??
I just had another one when my phone started to ring!
It rang once and BOOM back to bootanimation!
This is a bug in all 2.3 AOSP ROMS.

I am pretty sure that it has done it on every rom I have tried (including 2.1, stock sense), this is what is making me think it is a rouge app.

Do you use setcpu? Custom kernels?

I have done in the past. But at the moment I am using cyanogenmod settings to manage the cpu (min 245 max 998) and using stock cyanogenmod RC1 kernel. Using ondemand governer at the moment too.
It has happened while using other Kernels too though.
Thanks

You should know that I started to have these soft boots a few weeks ago on my unbranded, unrooted, un-anything Desire. it has all the available updates. I have not changed anything major in it, just installed programs, but nothing like a task manager or other utility of this sort. Still, I get reboots a couple of times a week, sometimes when I am calling someone, or when someone calls me.
So every time I flash I wipe data/cache/Dalvik/Battstats. I was using CWM2 for a while and when every ROM continued to slow down and lock up I tried upgrading to CWM3, narrowing my ROM choices but not solving the problem. Whenever I flash, my phone will return to it's snappy self for a varying amount of time before crapping out again. I've tried Sense, AOSP, Evo, and Z ROMs and all behave the same for no apparent reason. What am I doing wrong? My phone used to be lightning quick, I sampled many ROMs and kernels without incident, only experimented with OC briefly, and all of a sudden it's gotten painfully slow no matter what i do. Please help me make my Incredible, "incredible" again
Is it still slow on the Stock ROM? If you haven't tried that already, I would try that. It's possible something else may be wrong with the phone if you've tried many different ROMS and all do the same thing. Do you have all the same apps installed as well, or are they different for the most part?
try fixing permissions
Try wiping your SD card and when you sign in your gmail account don't let it restore all of your apps. Setcpu is also a good investment if you have not already purchased it

Nope, doesn't delete anything.

This seems to have fixed the problem, thank you so much.

Actually, on closer inspection, the permission fix only temporarily stopped the issue. I even switched to the nearly stock Nothing Special Peanut ROM and I still got a FC from Sense. Is my phone a dud?

How are you restoring apps? I would wipe everything and flash a fresh ROM. does it freeze up now? If not, my $$ is on a rogue app that doesn't like playing with your phone.

Hmm I just flashed OMFGB w/o restoring my apps. The only things I've installed are the Google Apps, Google Voice (which is my primary method of communication), XDA, and SetCPU. The fcs seem random, not tied to any particular action. They even happen when I'm not doing anything on the phone. Any ideas?
Thanks for the help everyone.

update: I think the problem stemmed from using the SetCPU widget with the refresh rate set to 5 seconds. Not sure if changing the setting makes a difference, but removing the widget from my home screen has solved all the issues insofar. We'll see if it takes this time.

setcpu is always a "use with caution" kind of app. you can get great results, but it's mostly educated trial and error with your rom/kernel combination.
My miui rom laggs for somereason. I am running the IPhone theme and advanced task killer. I just don't know why. I am running a Tiamit kernel. It is not a very strong lagging, its more jittery. For launcher settings everything but keep in system memory is disabled. Looking for suggestions.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
What settings are you using on your task killer? You may want to disable it (may need to reboot the phone to fully take effect), and see how your phone acts.
Also, you may want to see how the rom runs without the custom kernel. To go back to the stock MIUI kernel, just flash the rom again.
I'd say one of the two things above is causing your issues.
Nvm fixed w/a hack to disable wall paper scrolling. If someone wants, I can link
