Kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414876
ROM - http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11472-rom-android-revolution-hd
Loaded them up perfectly clean, just like the directions explained, no problems during installation.
Now - this was my fault, I should have tested by restarting the phone with both loaded prior to installing an app, but I just had to get the EX Go Launcher :-( Well, after installing that is when I first attempted the shutdown since loading the kernel. That's when it just sat at "shutting down" and never shutdown. left it for 5 minutes, nadda. It will turn the radio off, and you can see any activity in the background, but it will sit there at that shutting down screen pretty much indefinitely, until you pull the battery. You can still hit and hold the power button, which gives you another shut down prompt that overlaps the first one. You hit the shut down, just does the same thing and sits there.
So just a report for you folks. I would be reporting this on the kernels respective thread, but I don't have enough posts and it directed me to post here, but that kernal and rom seemed like the perfect duo. I didn't have patience to reload the rom and kernel since then, so I can't confirm if it works with the go launcher. Or maybe it was just a fluke and it will work with another reload. I'll continue to keep this thread updated, I'll be doing it again within the next couple weeks.
UPDATE: Not sure why I didn't try this before, guess it sounded to simple to make sense, but I just uninstalled the Go Launcher from the OS and all is top notch. Phone shuts down without an issue. So it's so the combination of the two, or one of the two thereof the not cooperating with go launcher.
Otherwise, loving the combo. So far better battery life and smoother operations. Still trying to figure out how to adjust the CPU performance, or set it to auto throttle. But, all with time.
EDIT: Mods please feel free to throw [REVIEW] in my thread title, missed that part

I know the first one is probably nitpicky. I did just finally get CM6 to the point where it's buttery smooth, faster than EVERYTHING else out there, and works 99% how I want it to. A few things that bother me yet, and I'm hoping someone can help me out. I have read through all (yes, all 700 odd pages) of the CM6 thread here, as well as checked over the cm wiki, the cm snap thread, and even delved into the source for one thing (battery related, different thread). What's left is low hanging fruit that hopefully is just something that's common knowledge that I missed.
Running CM6 final, with GAPPS from 8/17, snap 8.2-850 on a nova 002
Jittery fade on screen off:
This was always described as a "smooth fade" when the screen turned off by my friends. It's much smoother on theirs, but when I turn my screen off, it's like it's only hitting 3 brightness levels before it goes off, and it takes FOREVER to finish the process (1+ seconds) after I've hit the power button. I have disabled setcpu profiles in an attempt to fix, as I've got a screen off profile. No dice.
Settings->Sound crashes every time:
Pretty much just as described. I simply can't enter this part of the settings application. That means no ringtone changes, I've got to use a different app for volume adjustment, etc. etc. Basically, it's a pain. Attached is a logcat excerpt from when I ran logcat via ADB while trying to diagnose myself.
The first question to ask is..Does it do that without the snap kernel?
im running snap kernal and have neither of those issues.
Yes, this happens using snap or stock cm6 kernel. I did want to post that i was using snap to give a clear picture of my current phone conditions though.
- From my EVO
Hello all, First, I searched the forums for my answer with no such luck, that being said if Im repeating a question thats been asked I apologize. I have a problem with keeping android stable. I have flashed with different versions of windows several times all with success. I do however, prefer the android system, I find that it runs much better, faster and has better perks. Everytime I flash following the original how to, I run in to a couple similar problems.
The first is when I hit the power (not hold the power) the back light cuts off and the keyguard enables, the screen goes dark all as it should. Depending on the time ( the longer it is the worse it is) when I hit the power key to revive my phone, I often get a white screen, then it waits , then it goes dim, Sometimes If I hit the power button several times it eventually comes back to the key guard option, but others I have to remove the battery and reboot. This is the major problem, as I cant use my phone when I need it. This problem seems to get worse the farther it gets away from the flash date, e.g..,, after a brand new flash it works pretty good and then it goes downhill from there.
Second, it seems to lock up when I let it charge overnight, not always (but most of the time) I get up, click the power button to revive the phone and I have a white screen before me that is frozen solid. This like the previous problem seems to be linked to the distance from the last flash.
I hope that its something Im doing wrong, as Im currently using wmobile 6.5 and since Ive had a taste of the droid os, my wm phone is just disappointing. And as I was unsuccessful in finding a post that adequately describes my problem ,Im hoping that there is a way around this .
I have tried, Incubus Superfroyo, Wrym warm donut, and Cyanogens build. Im sure Ive tried others, they just escape me, I was re-flashing daily until I went back to windows. I truly hope someone out there has encountered what I have and has a solution. thank you all for what you do, these forums have been extremely valuable and helpful.
Sounds like you have the wrong panel type selected. Is it set to auto? if it is, try setting it to 2 instead. That cleared up the problem for me.
Tried all panels all have the same problem.
Well thanks for all the many replies. I give Ive tried everything on this site and m android is still really glitchy. Guess it will be windows until I get perhaps a phone capable of running android smoothly.
What kind of phone do you have?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
do you have an SD card you can try to boot from and share your settings?
What we need to know is which kernel you're using, or an image of the kernel you currently have. Also, we need to know which radio version you're using, as this can have detremental effects on stability as well.
Personally, I have been using radio version 1.70.19.09, which seems to be the most stable with kernel .25 IMHO.
I have also "personalized" ThoughtlessKyle's "Fat-Free Froyo", adding/removing apps that I need or don't use respectively (navigation, QQPlayer, Pandora, etc.).
Currently, I think I might be one of the only people not experiencing any issues with this phone running Android 2.2.1. I do get the occasional "hang" (I wait for it to finish what it's doing instead of force close), but that usually has something to do with network coverage or an app requesting something from an unopened port.
Old phone, new OS and runs smooth as could be expected.
Next for me will be the HTC HD2 (if I get one at the right price, the tilt was free)...
I know, I know that MANY PEOPLE THINK OF THE WAKE UP WHITE JIBBERISH SCREEN as NEVER WORKING.

Ill try that combination and post my results. The latest I tried was
Scoot CyanogenMod 6.1.2 RLS6 with 2.6.32 still no joy, white screen crashes and hang ups. and it seems progressively worse the longer the rom is on the phone. To whomever asked what phone I have, its the at&t tilt II

I can't help you regarding panel selection but, please have Radio ROM version 1.65 or higher. And do give my fresh foryo a go with 2.6.25 kernel (everything is there in the thread on how to use it with 2.6.25 kernel).
the WHITE GLITCHY SCREEN IS THE PROBLEM WITH ANDROID DRIVERS. Install with Data on SD Card often causes lockups / force closes.
I am using panel type 1 and white glitchy screen stays for like half of a second and next moment I get a nice clean keylock screen. I don't know but its like 20th time I am explaining the problem related to LCD
Change Panel Type, Get a compatible Radio version (1.65.x or HIGHER)
You say that often install with data on the sd card causes lock ups and freezes. Can you explain further what you mean ?

Ok, so I installed your version of froyo, the accompanying 2.6.25, the radio that you use. For the most part the hanging up is fixed. Now the second problem is still in place. Sometimes when Its been in hibernation(or whatever you would call when you hit the power button once ) when I attempt to refresh my phone (hitting the power button once) nothing happens, the green light is still blinking at the top but the screen stays blank, normally have to remove the battery and restart to get back to using the phone. Is this a sleep setting? or is this something Ive done wrong during the installation.
I'm not a frequent poster, so excuse me if this isn't he right place to ask.
I have a TP2, RHOD500, Sprint flashed to Boost
My ROM is Standard Energy 21xxx (with the old start button). Hopefully, other can refer here for these issues, if they haven't already been fixed:
1) Activesync icon on taskbar, overlapping signal bars
I've seen a reg edit to make it invisible, but on other energy roms, (like GTX), the symbol does not overlap the signal. Is there a non-invisible option?
2) Random Start Button Freezes/Temp Phone Freezes
When I go to the home screen, MANY times the start button locks up and doesn't come up. But I can still use the home screen and press buttons and launch apps. It would take about 2 minutes before the start button works, or a soft reset.
Also, the entire phone freezes on the home screen. I would sometimes tap around to see if it works, and nothing happens. 2 minutes later, whatever program I tapped comes up, but when I return to the home screen, it's still frozen. Perhaps sense freezes? If so, how can I still launch apps from it, though it does delay?
3) All Settings option doesn't work
I go to the settings on Sense and then click "Menu" and "All Settings". The screen dims, as if the settings was to come up, but nothing happens. I click the screen, and it takes me back to Sense settings, as if I was clicking out of a window.
That's really it. I though Energy would be awesome, but it just made the phone all buggy in these respects. "Why don't you go back to stock?" Well, might as well try to solve the problem than quitting right? Well, any help would be appreciated, and if I have to move this topic, let me know. If you need any more info, just let me know.
try reflashing the rom onto your device, Ive found that doing that sometimes fixes some issues...maybe you got a problematic download too...I'm running the April 29th sense 2,5 sencity rom, build 21916, and it's flawless...I would also suggest posting in the thread for that rom/device, you're likely to get support there
Alright, Ill try that. I did flash at a comp that wasn't my own, so that opens the door to outside variables. I didn't think of that.
And yes, I will move this thread and questions after I reflash if any problems persist.
Thank you.
OK... Every other day or so I'll go to turn on my screen and it acts like I just told it to power on....
It's acting like it was off. I don't know if hitting the power on button is causing a random reboot when trying to wake the screen or what.
I have the extended the battery and cover, both seem secure. Battery also holds a charge quite excellently. I'm only averaging half the internal memory used by active programs.
Is this a hardware problem? Is there a log file I could turn on or check to see if my phone was active right up til I hit the button or if it had been off for an hour?
It's just the nature of CM7. No one wants to admit it, but it's buggy as hell. Random reboots, touchscreen not responding, power button not waking up the phone until the 3rd or 4th try, it's all part of the gig.
But, we all put up with it because there are so many other amazing things about it. You need to weigh out if you can deal with these types of issues in exchange for things you like about CM7. Because I have been using Cyanogenmod off and on for probably 9 or 10 months, and the bugs never go away, they just turn into new ones. "Release candidates" are usually more buggy than the nightlies. My recommendation would be to download and install one of the latest nightlies. I have found that many of the nightlies have more stability than the release candidates.
I still love the rom, and and I am happy to put up with it because it offers me a lot that I can't get with a sense based rom.
Just my two cents. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
First off I'd like to say that I've already got the power switch replaced on this device. So I've ruled that out to some extent.
That being said, my device pretty much will freeze up at random times then either turn off or reboot. If it reboots, it will load the OS (or sometimes not even finish the boot), then either freeze up then reboot again, turn off, or freeze up and stay frozen for eternity. I've tried reverting to stock then reflashing all my **** and redownloading all my apps and stuff. While that helped for maybe, 3 days, it did not fix the issue. Also notable that this usually happens several times a day, and that sometimes leaving it on the charger helps it make a stable boot. I've also purchased a new battery with no luck. Not sure if this is related but figured it might be relevant that the device wakes randomly sometimes. This is not related to my specific ROM either, this happens on several pieces of firmware. Only cause I can think of is age (this model is almost 4 years old) or a faulty power switch (I've already had the switch replaced).
This has started to affect my schedule in that my phone loves to turn off when I'm sleeping so I miss my phone's alarm, which I highly depend on.
Completely unrelated issue but I'm on Sultan's Lollipop ROM and I can't download themes, apps, etc. The device gives me an error saying that the app/theme "failed to install". All of my current apps come from restoring /data from my 4.4.4 daily driver backup. Help with this would be very nice as well.
Thanks a ton in advance for the help.
Fixed! My overclock was too high. I can only assume that it was overheating, causing the freezing and rebooting. Min frequency is at 192 MHz and max is 1512. Stable for the time being.
As far as your reboots go, if it happens after flashing stock 4.1.2 with Odin, then it is hardware. Either the button still, or something else disrupting power momentarily.
Not sure about issue 2 though.
?
