[Q] Phone Freezing After Boot - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
I have tried searching for this problem im having but no joy yet
(Taken from "about phone")
Rom - CM7.1.0.1-buzz
Kernal - 2.6.35.14-nFinity
Radio - ??
Hboot - ??
S-on / s- off - S-On
I have installed CM7 and im starting to like the look of it, the problem is i used to have approx 90ish apps when i was on wildpuzzle so i backed them up using TB but now if i restore them on to cm7 after about 30ish (and with plenty of internal space still left) when i reboot the phone the apps appear in my menu but then the whole phone freezes and the only way is to take the battery out
at first i thought i had a rogue app, but i have tried many different apps and orders of restore but still the same problem....
so my questions are
1) is there a max amount of apps i can have or a min amount of space that has to be free internally
2) is there an app that i can put on my phone that logs what is happening on startup, maybe i could identify something wrong
3) is there an app to speed up the reading times of my memory card, i have seen people talking about the "class" but i dont know what mine is
hopefully someone out there can help as at the min i cant really fault cm7, but i also cant understand this problem

Did you backup System Data as well by any chance?

no just user data

In that case, try restoring apps one by one. Extremely boring task, I know, but, it should work. I have had this issue once when I had ~70 apps.

i have tried that as well
i installed 50 apps approx and did a nandroid backup after each...then it started to freeze, so i went back 3 backups and then restored a different set of apps and i got the same result

50+ apps on the wildfire?! Why? It's so slow only basic functions are possible

[Q] After a factory reset, how does restoring apps/data play with apps2sd?

Im doing some backing up for a factory reset since im having some issues with the phone.
So I've pushed a lot of apps to the SD card, so theres info partly on my phone and partly on the sd card for these. Now, when I do the reset and use titanium to restore the apps/data, I imagine that it will remember that its both on the phone and sd card
But then, what I just do a normal apk install of an app I've pushed to sd? Apps fully install on the phone first, and then need user action to push to sd. Is it going to install the full app, or just the part that was on the phone before the reset?
I'm having trouble fully communicating what I'm thinking here, hopefully ya'll get the gist.
Slight tangent...after reading flipz's post about using titanium backup, what I'm getting out of it is that using it should be fine since I'm not changing the ROM I'm using, but the problems I'm having now (when hitting home or backing out of an app, the phone will spontaneously crash htc sense and the home screen will completely redraw as if i had rebooted) could be caused by an app i currently have, and restoring the settings might cause the problem all over again. Hope I'm reading that right.
TIA for any help!
currently ROM: fresh evo 3.1.0.1
current kernel: netarchy toastmod froyoized 3.7.6b
boo im hesitant to attempt without knowing what might happen

[Q] Flashed 2nd ROM - Where's My All My Stuff

I rooted my Slide back in Nov and have been running Cyanogen Mod since then,
and installed lots of apps.
I just flashed a new ROM (3rd Sense) - this is first time I've changed ROMs midstream. Before flashing, I backed up with ROM BackUp Manager and Titanium Backup Pro and I copied my entire SD card to my laptop just in case.
ROM is running great and my Google apps related stuff switched over perfectly. I logged into Market and some apps that I've bought were downloaded,but not all. I'm missing a lot of apps, including Titanium Backup Pro.
How do I get this stuff back? Have read lots of threads and forums (included the entire 40 page thread for 3rd Sense) before posting, but just don't know what to do.
Thanks in advance!
Rephrase: How To Fit Old BackUp
Okay, so I did more reading and realized I needed to go in and manually install Titanium Backup and then I did a a Restore Uninstalled Apps & Data BUT there's not nearly enough room for everything now.
I used Apps2SD but by moving everything I was permitted to, I still don't have nearly enough room for everything now - Titanium Backup didn't even restore everything bc there was no space. Don't know if the ROM is just so much bigger... Not clear if the space being eaten up is on SD or internal - feels like it's internal.
Old ROM: Cyanogen Mod 7.0
New ROM 3rd Sense
Any thoughts or suggestions much appreciated.
Like 3rd Sense - big issue for me is Bluetooth works with 3rd Sense and not with Cyanogen which was otherwise just great.
Thanks.
if you have a fast sd card on your phone, you can enable data2ext and get you more room for apps. 3rd sense comes with data2ext installed, but only do this if you have a class 6 sd card or above.
Thanks - I read about that - I don't have a class 6, but might get one. I have 2 questions:
1) is Apps2SD same as Data2Ext? B/c I was using that but it still didn't help.
2) Seems like there just isn't enough room to do a full Batch restore from TiBU - but wondering if the way to go is to restore a few apps at a time, then move to SD.
Finally - since you know this phone and the above ROM - please weigh in if you have a fav ROM for Slide that will let me use Bluetooth properly.
Thanks again.

[Q] Integrating system updates into ROM

My Desire's running the current Stock ROM, and is rooted via Unrevoked with S-Off via AlphaRev.
I'm constantly skirting close to the 15Mb remaining data limit. The thing is, I'm running fewer apps than ever before these days, what with apps getting bigger and system updates using up precious memory space.
So I thought I'd use Titanium Backup to integrate the system updates into the ROM and free up data space. So I nandroided, s-off'd and ran the batch to integrate the updates into the ROM.
The apps in question (off the top of my head) were Flash, Maps, Gmail, Youtube, Market, and a couple of others.
It didn't work.
At first it looked as if it had, but I was getting force closes when I ran them.
I tried doing a force close repair via ROM Manager, but that didn't help.
The only thing that did work was apparently Flash. But then I was browsing around because I didn't getting the memory back I was expecting and I can still see the flash files in data.
So the updates have been recovered back into data and I'm back where I started.
So how do I do this?
Should TB work? What's the best way to actually integrate these files into the ROM? Which files need moving? Is flash just libflashplayer.so, because there are 3 other flash .so files? Do I need to modify anything to point to the new locations?
I really hope that the new gingerbread ROM doesn't immediately need system updates, but I expect to be disappointed.

To be honest I don't really know the answer I've never tried.... Could it be the permissions? Root Explorer - data/apps... find app you want and edit permissions ?
Why not just get apps2sd or data2sd?
I'm not against apps2sd or data2sd, it's just that I dodn't like the idea of having two versions of the same app on the phone - it's just a waste.
I'm thinking I'll apply the upgrade when it comes (if it's any good) - hopefully most of the system app updates will be built in already. Then I'll look for a version that strips back system to the bare minimum and repartitions to minimise system/maximise data, and also has apps2sd or data2sd (not sure which at the mo).
I do find it strange, though, that so few experiences of TB's integrate into ROM feature are discussed on the net.

Finally got upgraded to CM7!

I've finally upgraded my phone to CM7 (Cyanogenmod). I went from Eclair to Froyo to CM7 within one evening.
I did a backup of all my apps and data etc before I upgraded.
All the Apps and Data still seems to be on the phones memory after upgrading so does that just mean I need to reinstall the applications because its essentially a new O/S?
Or would restoring the Titanium backup be the best option?
When I first got into the new CM7 I put in my google account details but chose not to sync until I had wifi back up and running. How do I now get that option back so I can sync and get all my contact details back etc?
Final question, how do I overclock the CM7 install to 1.1ghz for the cpu?
Cheers,
John
To turn on your sync settings go into settings and select accounts & sync. Click your Google account and in next screen check the boxes next to what you want sync'd.
For CPU setting select cyanogen settings and then performance. Click ok to the little warning and there you will be able to change CPU settings carefully!

Hello.
I did the sync thing but it didn't bring any contacts back unfortunately so I think unless part of the backup I did using titanium has got than info off the sdcard before I upgraded to CM7 I may have lost all my contacts?
In the Cyanogen Settings and Performance it doesn't allow me to select a higher cpu speed than 1000mhz? I wanted to take it to around 1100mhz.
I also wasn't sure how to change the cpu core speed in the boot menu?
Are there any good (and free) apps that could do this instead?
Thanks,
John
What phone do you have? The kernel your phone is using may not support overclocking over the stock speed.
Spoke too soon!
Two steps forward and one step back! Story of my life.
Tried doing the titanium back up of all my old apps from Eclair. Big Mistake.
First it didn't show any of these apps but for some reason they then all appeared in titanium.
I think the mistake was restoring the data as well as the actual apps, and I should have been selective.
It put the phone into what I can only describe as a unstable login crash loop where it kept requesting my pin to unlock sim over and over.
Had to wipe it and start again so now I am back on Froyo having flashed back to it. Needed to do this with RSD Lite becase recovery was not possible from the boot menu.
Now to go back to CM7 again and start the process over!
This time I know to just try restore on app at a time without the data to go with it. I will do one app, test, then "may" try the data for that app as well. I don't know for certain that it was the data but that is my best guess. It could have been the app in which case the titanium backup may not be as useful as first though at least going to CM7 because if you can't restore your apps and have to download them all again from market and reinstall on the new CM7 o/s what's th point of it? That's why I suspect its the data?
Will see.

I have the Defy. I am pretty sure it can get to 1.2ghz but at that speed its not stable. I have read replies saying that it is stable at a tiny fraction over 1.1 so I was going to try that speed.
Unfortunately using the cyanogenmod settings it wont allow you to take it higher than 1000mhz in there and An Tu Tu app I tried also doesn't allow it to go higher than 1000mhz, but it should be possible as other people have done it. I'm just not sure how or what app they used to go higher?

[Q] Virus? Internal storage maxing out

Hi guys,
I think there's a virus on my phone.
I got an error message saying the internal storage is full. I tried deleting some apps but it just filled right up again to 1.2gb in a matter of seconds (and adding up all the storage usage of the apps listed there comes nowhere near 1.2gb).
I just did a full reinstall of everything (wiped everything, new gapps, new cm7, etc) but 5 minutes after having done so the error is there again.
Anybody know what's going on?
Thanks
I doubt a virus or any kind of android malware is capable of doing that. You should try and flash an sbf to be sure to have done a full clean wipe. Factory reset only resets data, not system so if the bug is in your system it's still there. It's probably the case.
CM7 + CM9 double boot
I have the same issue. It started after i installed cm 7.2. What should i do?
same thing here
just started but i havent flashed a newer version of CM7 , been using it for months and just 3 days ago got the same message , although i did a fresh install 12 hours later storage full again. wtf is going on
Either a rare bug, or maybe your memory chips are damaged. But that's unlikely. Have you tried flashing a new SBF + another version of CM7?
Are you actually having a performance problem or just reading an app-watcher app? I'm on stock 2.2.1 and if I run the built-in Task Manager it will always warn me I'm maxing memory. In my case it means absolutely nothing as that's how Android behaves. And... I get zero slow-downs etc. On some stock phones where memory is really getting maxed out and phones slowing, have heard that activating the "Debugging" option is a work around, although no one is sure why.
Do you use a cracked version of Titanium Backup or one that you did not update to the very last version and were you also recently using the latest Google Play Store (3.5.15 or 3.5.16 - released today) by any chance?
I ask because I know that an slightly out of date version of TB was giving me such problems with Google Store v3.5.15: "out of memory please uninstall some apps" and I had about only 50% of the memory used.. And I've read somewhere that there were issues with the 2 softwares due to changes in Market links and stuff...
To solved that, I've then reverted to my old and trusted version of TB and Market v3.4.4 which only updates to 3.4.7.
I might be beside the track here..but that's my guess anyway.

After you wipe/fresh install uncheck the Restore google thing after signing in. I had the same problem the first wipe/reinstall of cm i did ran out of space in under a hour. the last wipe/install i unchecked google restore and its been a full 24 hours in i've still got storage. I don't know if that will work for you but so far its worked for me.
