Hi community. I'm new to thus phone. I've been around for a while but never created a profile here. I unlocked the boot loader and rooted it. First from installed is aopk with Franco kernel. Seems to be running okay but I am getting random force closes here and there from different apps. Not sure if this is ice issue or rom. Its intermittent so not an annoyance yet. Got some freezes when typing horizontally on the keyboard and xda app fc as well as other apps. I am running yakju. Would I benefit from just going back to stock and just keeping unlocked boot loader and rooted? Is there more stability with 4.04 vs 4.2 ? Being as this is my first Google phone I'd like to always get updates from Google without too much hassle. Please input and I'm always willing to take criticism.
When you get freezes and closes from apps randomly, I always tend to blame the rom. It could be the kernel too.
If you're wanting official updates then I would go with the stock rom. I flashed a custom rom and tested a few of them out and they were pants so I just roll with a rooted stock rom.
Just flashed the new Franco kernel and it sped things up. Haven had any freezes yet. Just running the kernel out of the box without any tweaks. Seems snap pier too, specially in app drawer.

**** Note, this thread is not pointing fingers at ROM Devs *****
So starting back when porting of ICS from skyrocket was done I never had any random reboots or crashes fast forward to about 2 weeks ago when sudden and many freezes, lock ups and random reboots started. I first started seeing it on darkside v3 and it continued to darkside v6 during which time I decided to bounce to AOKP which gave me the same results.
Things I have tested are:
[1] Different ROMs (all based on 4.0.3)
[2] 3 different SDCards, all brand new
[3] Running different radios
[4] No apps installed, basic default setup after ROM flashed with and without add-on launchers. Tested using TW, Nova and Apex.
[5] Formatted sdcard and internal storage
[6] New battery - pending results, ordered 2 days ago will be here Wednesday
[7] New bluetooth - pending results, ordered 2 days ago will be here Tuesday (Not sure if it would help but it was a good excuse to tell the wife)
[8] Flashed multiple times using CWM (non-touch) and TWRP
Anytime a ROM is flashed I always superwipe and on a few occasions I have manually select clear/format section via CWM. My flashing steps are perfect and followed to a T per AOKP and Darkside. Ive always flashed 100% battery charge and anytime I try to logcat I'm unable to get a log due to the random reboot because it won't save the log.
Once the new battery gets here and that doesn't work I'm completely lost with what else I can try. Does anyone who has experience and knows the file system of 4.0.3 > 4.0.4 know if something has been changed that may help or does anyone have any other method for me to find the issue at hand? Also keep in mind running darkside GB based on 2.3.6 is stable as hell.
Your assistance is much appreciated.
I had freezes and reboot when I went from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4
then I just started from fresh. I Odin 'd to stock, and I started fresh with apparently and data. Didn't use titanium backup.. have not had a freeze or reboot since. I really think most users issues are because they are restoring old data.
Edit. After re-reading your thread I see that you never flashed a 4.0.4 rom. I really don't know why u are having issues.. your method of flashing looks really sound

Oh to add to that I have never restored apps with data or apps. I always go to the play store and reinstall fresh.
How old is your phone? I've only had mine since Mar and I've flashed plenty, restored apps with data, and no reboots or freezes.

Maybe 4-5 months old.
well if you wiped all that and you still getting random lags and you re flashed your CWM
just make sure you download count hasnt moved you know when your in download mode
cause it might be hardware and try
darkside v7
and AOKP B40
if its not the software then its the hardware
you could always try odin and start fresh that always seems to work on mine
Odin or cwm 5.0.2.7

I odin and started fresh and ran ICS stock for 3 days with no crashes or issues. I then rooted and flashed new ICS Rom and have not had any issues for the past 48 hours. Everything doing great. Something must have been stuck between all the upgrade/flashes that were causing the crashes.
Eugene fixed the reboots on AOKP, as far as AOKP, it was ROM related.

Yeah I read that earlier on twitter and although there was reboot issues my phone was just tripping. After odin to stock and starting fresh I have no issues with darkside however I might grab the latest AOKP with Eugene kernel. I hear good things.

The battery life is awesome, though probably not as good as Darkside.
Just be sure to flash the one from the link I provided. That one has the fixed kernel and ROM

My stock phone was just fine and then.. Crashing, freezing, random rebooting, call echo, missed calls and missed text. My phone was possessed by some android demon after upgrading to 4.0 from Samsung via Kies. A google search took me to XDA. I'm a noob and all but I read every post and I watched all your YouTube videos (thank you ScreamingSkulls, that helped a lot). TDJ posted the DARKSIDE v4 rom while i was reading his thread so I flashed my first custom rom. No major problems, the camera froze when I first opened it but I killed it and it worked fine after that (I later read that others had that happen too). I flashed the v5 rom then v7.. I did have an issue when I flashed the VENOM 03 #3 kernel. After I flashed it stuck for a long time on the S logo (animating). I got it to reboot successfully so I flashed it again just be sure and it worked. I also flashed the VENOM 03 #5 kernel yesterday and everything is running smooth.
My phone was running for about 52 hours before my doubletwist app started changing songs by itself and freezing lol, this isn't the first time it's happened, I've even done a clean install from odin, funny thing is, with GB could run my phone for almost 5 days or more straight if I let it with no issues, but ICS seems a bit more laggy, I think I'll wait for the dev's to whip up some extra mean stuff until there is an official repair for it.
Nice thread. Id been reading about that reboots. I can tell you im on jaminson' s rom and no problem here about that or apps fcs. Smooth and stable. Is nice to read that you fix it

I had hellish problems with ics, echo randomly in speaker, headset, even bluetooth, on wifi and not. App crashes, camera hosing, reboots, major scroll lag, touch lag, i ended going back to ginger a few times.
What i found out is to NOT RESTORE OR TOUCH ANYTHING! I have always run tdj's roms since he started putting them out but used titanium back to restore nonsystem apps, used rom tool box to tweak a few minor things.
I am running darkside evolution with v5 of ds kernel, i did not restore anything with tb didnt tweak any thing os just settings wise. Only loaded bare min apps i need. I do highly recommend nova launcher, its nice and fast and better on battery.
Just loading the ROM fresh and nova only issues are a few echo calls but very minimal. Performance and battery life are insane, I'm currently 15hr at 65% battery on light to moderate use, incredible. Otherwise runs perfectly great. Probably apps are just not totally ics compatible not sure.

My Verizon Nexus has been acting up for the last day or so. I was running the CM10 preview from the dev's G+ page with Trinity kernel. I've been on custom roms (ICS and JB) since I got the phone and have had no troubles up until now.
No matter what ROM and kernel Im on it freezes up and reboots. Its done this on stock, CM9, CM10 by fitsnugly, CM10 preview, and Paranoid Android. While messing with all of these I was unable to get some of them to flash completely. (CWM touch 5.something) It would get halfway through installing and then start bootlooping. My MD5s have been good the whole way. Ive relocked, unlocked, went back to stock. Tried TWRP tried the CWM 6 build. Nothing I can do will stabilize this phone.
Could the RAM or CPU be bad? Am I screwed? Been working on this since 7 am (its 230P now) and cant get any progress made.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would hate to go back to an iPhone.
Note - I am not new to android, been rooting and romming phones since Android 1.5. Just had an iphone for a month or so a couple times.
I'm looking to get some information on my what can be done to fix the Data Usage counter on my wife's i927R (Rogers) running the stock GB os. Currently any data counter application that is put on doesn't actually keep track of 3G/4G data correctly.
I have been reading up on just upgrading it to ICS but I recently read all about the phone call issues after it goes to sleep so I'll be holding off on that upgrade to that gets worked out.
I did notice that there were some GB Kernels (like ardatdat's) that say they fix the issue but they also do a bunch of other things like overclock which i'm not interested in.
Is there a way to just patch the existing stock kernal to correct the data counter issue? If so can you point me in the right direction of the files and steps to update?
Any help would be great.
Thanks
If you want a count of your data, message, and phone calls and are on att, dial *3282# into the phone and press call. It is very accurate and gives you the data in the form of a text message. Not sure if this is what you want, but this is what I do.

The standard stock kernel can't be given that feature, you have to recompile it from source and then hope you get a working version. We are a small group compared to the other phones as our model is not quite as epic as the original as the original captivate galaxy s is still a great phone and being an attention whore still lol..
But we are All trying to do our best to get more mods out there.
I personally use ICS 4.0.4 stock (custom modded to my needs)
And run lite kernel 1.1.1 you may want to try an update to your ROM from gingerbread to ICS and I beleive at&t launched an official update with samsung, maybe try it and see if it helpa
Thanks for the replies but i'm not on AT&T but rather Rogers in Canada.
Also, I would update to ICS but from the other ongoing threads there is an issue with the phone not receiving calls\sms on those roms once it goes to sleep mode so i want to avoid that until it is fixed.
From the sounds of it the only solution is to flash a new kernel (such as ardatdat's) thats specifically says it fixes the issue. Perhaps I can figure out how to change overclock settings so that it runs stock speeds.
To flash a Kernel do I just use Odin like a Rom flash? Are there any How To's on Kernel flashing? I haven't found one around here for the glide.
Thanks
The AOSP ROMs default to stock clocks, why haven't you upgraded yet?

I come from rogers too.. the ICS update will work fine for you and overclock doesn't affect anything. I was using literom with lite kernel 1.1.1 before upgrading to cm10.. then pacman 18.2 and now on liquid smooth
You should at least upgrade to Ics.. phone runs faster and smoother and GPS is fixed in literom too.
What version of GB are you using ? I upgraded to the latest GB first when I got my glide and I don't recall data stats not working
The current os is 2.3.5 (Kernel 2.6.36.3), The latest one available for the phone through Kies. All the data usage counting apps do not work on this phone. They all report about 1/1000th of the actual usage. Wifi data reports correctly but thats not what's important.
roothorick: I searched for "AOSP Rom" and what i found was an alpha build with a bunch of known issues. As this is my wife's phone, this wouldn't go over well. Keeping the phone looking and functioning the same as much as possible is key.
yohan4ws: I was planning on upgrade to ICS but now i'm reading the threads about the issues with the phone not receiving calls or sms once it goes to sleep. That is unacceptable as it is the main purpose of having a phone. So you aren't experiencing any "no radio wake" issues with your setup?
I need help finding a stable rom. I've tried a lot over the past few months, and they all have problems rendering my tablet inconvenient for use.
Before I was using a CM7 mod which was working pretty well, but then I upgraded to an ICS rom somewhere around September. That's when the performance started to drop. Then somewhere around March I upgraded to a Jelly Bean rom, and that's where the serious problems started.
At first I tried SmoothRom, but that just wouldn't install until I did some tweaks (removed an "assert" line of code). And even then, stuff in settings kept crashing. So I tried the HellFire rom, which worked but was having some serious performance problems. The launcher I was using (Apex) was slow and unresponsive at times, and various apps (browser, music player) kept crashing at times.
A few weeks later, I tried SmoothRom again, and it seems to work better. No more tweaking needed to flash it, and no more crashing in settings. But the problems were even worse. My browsers (Dolphin, Chrome) kept crashing frequently when I browse, the music player (winamp) kept stopping, and worst of all, sometimes my kindle won't wake up from sleep (I have to hold my finger on the power button to turn it off before turning it back on).
I just don't know why I keep having problems. So today I tried using the modified stock roms. The http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2211872 won't even flash (something about failing). So I tried the older modaco rom. I had a problem with a launcher (Holo) where it kept saying "holo launcher stopped unexpectedly" every time I tried to run it. I tried rebooting, clearing the cache, but it still had problems. Plus I found out not a lot of apps were compatible with my gingerbread based android os, so now I'm going to give this rom a shot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051331
But basically, why am I running into so many problems? Is this normal, or is there something abnormal with my kindle fire?
Do a full wipe while installing a new rom. I don't think Holo Launcher works with stock. And for the stock modded, are you sure you downloaded the main not alt zip?

Hmm......I use twa_priv's latest CM10.1 ROM (4-01-13) and it runs sweet. I have my Kindle set up to boot either CM7 or JB.....the CM7 ROM is sblood's November 2012 release. When I get tired of JB, I will switch to GB. There are certain apps that won't perform correctly on JB but run flawlessly on CM7.
You need to start with a truly clean wiped system and SD card partition, but please make sure you have the ability to mount the Kindle's storage from recovery to place the ROM after wiping SD. Install apps sparingly so it's easier to weed out potential culprits of malfunction......it sure is hard to figure out what is going on if you install 50 apps all at once.
And remember no OS is flaw free.....they are like human beings, unique and not perfect
There are plenty of stable enough for daily use ROMs, some faring better than others.

Yeah, I have TWRP and I always wipe and factory reset before flashing a ROM.
Try using an Official CM10.1 from hash ode. It seems to be the most stable out there

You need wipe all the cache before you install any new rom
i am thinking about trying out stock from on my LG Optimus G, i didn't use it a lot when i got the phone bcs it didn't work properly but the newest version fixed the bug i had.
So basicly have been running Cyanogenmod since it was first released by Ricardo, but i kinda having BSOD from time to time, and it's external_modem that causes it, and i am wondering if that will stop if i run the stock rom.
ino i got more "freedom" with Cyanogenmod then stock, but well i use Apex Launcher anyway, and if i root stock rom i can do all the same things.
and no it's not one of my apps i use that gives me BSOD, even running clean rom with no other then stock CM apps instead i get the BSOD so i am kinda sure it's the rom/kernel that's buggy.
BSODs for me were related to the Chrome Beta I was using. After latest updates, I'm BSOD free
