[Q] Problems with CM

Hello everyone. I'm pretty new to rooting and flashing ROMs and everything. I was playing with my buddy's rooted Incredible (CM 6.0.1) and I was amazed. I just recently rooted my Incredible and flashed a couple different versions of CM with the same outcome. My phone freezes and then reboots randomly after a couple minutes of it being on. I've tried wiping and restoring factory settings, wiping the cache and wiping calvik. I also tried clearing the storage and then flashing the ROM with no luck. Is it possible that CM just doesn't work with my Incredible or is there any possible way to fix the constant reboots? I apologize in advance if this has been covered already. Thanks!

Yes, I had the exact same problems. Impressed with the features, but disappointed with stability. I switched for now to VirtuousROM and have been happy. Also, check forum.cyanogenmod.com. Several people facing the same problem.

Is it just by chance that it's so unstable? My buddy has been running CM 6.0.1 for awhile now with no reboots at all. In any case, thanks for the info. I'll give the cyanogenmod forms a try.

If I recall, CM 6.0.1 had a default overclock of 1.15 which some phones can't handle. But CM 6.0.2 restored default setting to 998 (stock), which should solve the problem!

I tried both CM 6.0.1 and CM 6.0.2 and both had the same results. They both of them did the freeze and reboots over and over again.

I've had great luck with CM nightly builds starting from 9/6 which was released after 6.0.2. I'm currently running the 9/8 nightly. If you decide to try a nightly, do a full wipe first.

Don't feel alone I have struggled with cm as well. Im using. 92 hboot 2.15 radio and still get splash freeze and reboot upon install. I have wiped: data,cache& dalvik...still no success. Any help.would be great. I've tried almost all nightlys rc3 6.0 6 6.1 6.2.

Do I need the sd-ext partition to run CM? When I go to wipe everything it always returns with the message "sd-ext partition does not exist" but it still wipes everything else. If so, how do I go about creating that partition? Thanks for all the help.

You don't need the sd-ext partition. I would download set-cpu, you can find it free on xda, and make sure that it is not overclocking for you.

I purchased set cpu....how would I tell if my cpu is over clocked?

mine is set to 998 max 245 min....still cant install cm6

Has any one found the same install issues as myself.....Ive been trying for at least a month to two months to get cm6. Just tried again tonight got the nightly to work once ...i rebooted and gota stupid bootloop. I tried to install again and just a bootloop this time. Please help!

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..

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] MIUI - Constant Force Closes, Laggy... Any Clues?

I recently ran into MIUI for my Evo...
I went to their site and downloaded the lastest stable ROM for my phone. I installed as usual, wiping data, cache, dalvik cache, boot, system, etc multiple times. After I boot up, it looks very nice but is EXTREMEMLY laggy... also, almost every app force closes. Especially when someone calls me, it rings and when I pull down to answer, the phone force closes.
I have tried downloading the file again, and I have reflashed like 5 times, (I even tried an older version)... I am using the latest GAPPS.
Any suggestions or clues as to what might me causing this? I might just venture away from CM if I can get this to work reliably...

Which version are you using? The modded 2.1.13?

I had this same issue I was running the latest version of MIUI but I just kept getting force closes on it. I think it might be the radio I flashed, have you done anything like flashing a new radio lately?

If you did much reading, you'd have known that 1.12.23 and 1.12.30 were broken.
You want 1.12.9 or 2.1.13

I see now. There is a 2.1.13? I have 1.12.9.. and issues are solved. Still laggy sometimes though.

2.1.13 is a modified port. It's really good. It's in the MIUI thread in the page 278 area

[Q] Random freezes and lag

I have some issues with my Defy, it worked great for about 5 weeks with Quarx's CM7 the i started to get random lags, all apps crashing and freezes. I wiped the cache and dalvik cache, still not working.
After that i installed MIUI, worked pretty good for 2 days then got the same problem. Wiping the cache didn't worked here either so i decided to re-install CM7 (7.1.0-jordan) but still got the same problem.
I tried lowering the CPU settings to the default but it had no effect.
What else can i do?
I'm kinda new to this so please, have mercy.
Thanks in advance!

Could it be the RAM (not enough available)? Use an app like this or similar and see if there's any difference.
Also, if you like CM7, go for CM7.2 - it already has a RC version, and it's stable and fast (bug fixes included, tweaks, interface optimizations, etc). Regarding the CPU: it's not necessary to underclock to the stock 800mhz value, just be careful about the voltages (don't go too low suddenly, or you'll get freezes or random soft restarts - try to undervolt progressively).
Plus, it's a good habit to wipe Cache and Dalvik cache before and after flashing a ROM/nightly.

it's not the ram, i used netqin from the beginning which has a widget that shows available memory and a task manager and the lowest memory i ever had was 100MB. currently on cm7.1 i have 213mb available.
is there a way to completely revert all changes, like a factory reset?

Actually, task managers on Android don't fix any problems, they even cause problems - I would get rid of that if I were you.
Like a factory reset? Wiping data from custom recovery (but you'll lose all data, settings, apps, etc on the phone), but you keep your current ROM.
Give CM7.2 a shot, it might be better.
Edit: Did you have these problems before installing that task manager?

i really don't care about the current ROM, i would go for the stock android just to have a working defy. do i need to flash a sbf before installing 7.2?
could it be a hardware problem?

Don't flash a SBF!
If you are already on CM7 just flash a CM7.2 version like a nightly (wipe Cache and Dalvik cache, before and after flashing). When I used CM7.2, I was happy with a version by maniac103, from 27 February. Stable, fast, good battery life.
If you really don't care about all of your settings and apps and data and so on, you could try to wipe Data in custom recovery before installing CM7.2, it might solve that issue (but I'm not sure, and it's not really worth it to try it now, only as a last solution). But if you do that, remember to flash gapps too, after the ROM.
But first try CM7.2 and use your phone for a while without that task manager.
No, I don't think that it's a hardware problem, especially if it worked fine after you flashed MIUI.

just installed cm7.2, will update if problem still occurs.
Thanks!

You're welcome.
Great, I hope you'll get rid of those issues. Did you also remove that task manager?

Yes, kept just the basic stuff for now. i have a problem with the proximity sensor, after a call the screen stays off and i have to remove the battery. I tried loosing the back screw and several ways of disabling the sensor but none worked.
Any ideas?

Is my Evo 4g too old?

I can't boot cm10 (unofficial) or Evervolv's JB preview ROMs. They both sit at boot screen. Also, Sometime mid July cm9 (unofficial) changed something that breaks my data somehow. Stock browser begins to load but stops and closes. Same with FB app. Any nightly (cm9) I use prior works fine and last Evervolv ICS release works great as well.
Is my Evo outdated? I've heard of some Evo's not handling some ROMs for whatever reason but I haven't heard of anybody having my problems with these new ROMs. I use Smelkus ver RA recovery and I have my SD partitioned, though I rarely use sd-ext. I'm always through on wiping and my hardware is 003 if that helps.

I have a pretty old EVO as well, and haven't had any issues getting any jb up and running. Have you tried redownloading? The most recent one I tried was here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1805348 and I liked it, just no camera so I had to go back to an ICS.

If you do a full wipe there shouldn't be any reason why ur not able to run those roms.

Thanks for the input. I flashed the ROM above (With evervolv jb gapps) and decided to wipe everything individually. I'm running JB now! Only thing I did differently was not use combo wipes and try this ROM. I wonder if that's it. Will try other ROMs now.

Just for an update I downloaded new Evervolv JB preview 5 and it booted so not sure what's going on. Unofficial CM10 still won't boot so maybe it is a download issue but I've tried multiple ways (3g and landline). Team Dirt CM10 booted though. I'm scratching my head.....

So basically I am just here to answer your question concerning if your HTC EVO is too old? Why, yes, yes it is, actually, any phone that comes out is usually obsolete within one to two months after debute.

I have booted cm10 to my evo with no problem. I have encountered a few issues with cm10 but that was expected. Can't wait for the camera to work. Only major setback.
