k i read about an app called spare parts on here so i figured hey i'll try it out. i did saw what extra setting were there and decided i wasn't gonna use it didn't even change any settings.
after opening the app and then pressing home something wierd happened i saw a white screen with HTC in green in the center for about 3-5 seconds my backround with a loading pop-up and nothing else for about another 3-5 seconds. this is happening every time i press the home button or exit out of an app. it's getting infuriating, i'm also getting wicked bad lagg in sense and lot's of hang up's and force closes. also wicked bad battery life. i don't know what to do to fix it.
i have the OTA and rooted last night with unrevoked method, this morning is when i tried the app around 10 or 11 not sure last couple days is a blur.
can anyone help, how can i restore what i had previously, do i have to do a full wipe.

get used to it if you intend to use sense, the screen you speak of is sort of like the htc sense/rosie intro. If you dont like it you can go vanilla and use another launcher, like adw froyo,launcherpro, or even the extra launcher thats included....
Sounds like you enabled aggressive handling of apps. Can you get in there to turn it off?

Or just do a factory reset.
also, you are experiencing some isolated problems which leads me to beleive the issue is software related rather than hardware.I have experienced NOT ONE of the issues you speak of. Make sure you update prl. I can vouch for that one. My data was 90% broken till i did. Also try and wipe data, that would prolly fix everything as well.....FYI, i cannot gurantee the problem lies with your hardware OR software. Thats just my diagnosis. Good luck
Thats what it was the agressive handling of processes thanks alot guys feel like a fool.....

Heh...I did that once on my hero. I know the feeling.
some versions of spare parts come with a launcher. the problem is that when you press the home button now, it's trying to goof with /system, which is forcing the reboot. even though you may be rooted, you don't have rw privileges in /system while messing with android.
you may be able to get away with accessing /system and erasing your goofy installed spare parts app. you'll have to do that through adb shell, and the custom recovery. do a search for 'remove apps', you should find it easily enough. i think the thread was moved from dev to general, or q and a.
anything that will call a write to /system (i.e. a rooted app that needs access to it to work right) has the potential to cause the phone to reboot. when i installed adfree, it had the same effect. trying to install hosts (which write to /system/etc) caused a reboot. i had to install hosts through recovery with a push after remount.
hope that helps
Hmm I installed autokiller and it appears to work doesn't mess with anything that is
I really dunno a way of testing that its actually working though if you where looking for a way to manage memory
I was using a task killer but read up on stuff and turned it off just keeping it in case I need it for something that wont close and the phone is running great and battery life keeps getting better and better.

autokiller
People you need to be careful with autokillers!
Make sure that you are not closing down sense items.
Put anything that says htc or sense on ignore.
If not you are shutting down parts of sense. Then sense has to reboot. Witch is why you see the white screen with the htc logo in the middle.
Okay so since I flashed the Google images from 41d to 41f after it gets past the boot animation it comes up to android is updating each time. Anyone else out there experiencing this or is it suppose to happen? Not big deal just wondering.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Do you have an update file on your Storage? Perhaps it's looking for one at every bootup?
Just a guess.
I have same problem. Could you be more specific? For what exactly to look and where?
Mine did that before and after flashing. Seen it happpening in video reviews when the phone boots up too...very common?
Nope wiped the "sdcard" and fastboot the whole image from google.
Glad I'm not the only one out there having this happen.

Okay I got it to stop but here is what I did and now understand what it does.
Wipe dalvik and cache
Flashed this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372376
It then rebuilt the dalvik cache and cache on first boot and havent seen it since
Maybe if one of you are will to try this method out to see if it keeps happening
Wipe dalvik and cache
Then reboot
If that works then its just dalvik cache and cache that needed to be cleared out.
Just tried your last suggestion and it didn't work. The only difference was, that after wipe cache and restart, android upgrading start optimizing the applications. This take about 3 minutes (it's deppends of how many apps you have). After second reboot it just say Android updating and start immediately after that. I'm start thinking this is not a bug, but a feature.
Mine's done it since I bought it, just figured it was a feature.
well i think its just starting all the background services before you get to the homescreen... maybe to prevent laggs in the first seconds after start?

Maybe we will find out more since they just release 4.0.2
At least I am not the only one. Makes me feel a little better...but with over 100 apps it takes a while to finish...grumble.

Ok, you say it's normal, all i know is that when i used a stock ROM with no mods/tweaks, just CWM and SuperSU it didn't happen
After the ICS update on my non-rooted phone, the phone seems to be freezing
up and becoming unresponsive. After a while it looks like the radio "resets", all
the icons disappear in the top bar (signal, wifi, data) and it shows no service.
Then slowly one by one they all come back and I can use the phone again.
Sometimes I receive the "System is not responding" dialog box, but not always.
There is not one particular program it is doing this in, it can be something as
simple as pulling down the notification bar that will cause the freeze.
Any suggestions are appreciated, I couldn't find anyone else with the same issue.
Thanks.
Try:
Turn off phone
Take out SIM
Put SIM back
Turn on
I've had my phone act weird with respect to signal, wifi and data when this was the issue. Worth a shot, at the very least.

Thank you for the response.
Tried this and had the system is unresponsive issue right on reboot. If I do a
factory reset, does it reset to the current firmware or what was originally on the
phone (probably a really stupid question). I wonder if some other program isn't
ICS compatible and is doing something in the background. Doesn't look like
anyone else is having this same issue.

If you do a factory reset and it was the standard Kies legit update from Tmo, it won't downgrade your phone - will just re-install a fresh copy of your ICS. Did you do a restore of apps from your last version (gb?) with data? That could cause problems I would think..

Yes I did the legit update on Kies, standard stock phone un-rooted.
Do I need to backup pictures before the reset, its been a while since
I had to do this.
At this point, I think its worth a try to wipe it clean and clear out all the
data.

wipe the dalvik cache and cache then reboot
I did a factory reset and that solved the issue.
Thanks for all the assistance.
I've done a factory reset and wiped the cache more than once already and i still get a force close or unresponsive, enough that its really irritating me now. Any advice? And also, when texting, the typing responds very slow.

Are you letting it sit for like 10 minutes during first boot after factory reset then reboot again before setting up. Its likely that some scripts are running from the initial installation and you need to let it rot until its done..
I did exactly that, thanks for the advice. Hoping that may fix the problem. I wiped the cache and factory reset, then let the phone sit for a good while before going through the play store and re-installing everything.
This issue just resurfaced again. The last 2 days I am getting the freezing, radio reboot and android process not responding.
No one else having this issue?
I think I'm in the same boat. I was stock GB, and just did the mini OTA update (which was great). A few days later ICS became available via Kies from T-Mobile, and I "upgraded".
Since the upgrade my phone is laggy, screen is significantly less responsive and also my battery life is less than before.
I have NOT done a factory reset of my phone yes (plan on doing that today), but even with that I have read that performance does not improve.
Ideally, I would love to return back to the stock tmobile gb firmware. However, even after literally 2 hours of reading I can't find the "how-to" and files I need.
I would appreciate any assistance.
t989 chip lags
ive notice this happen on my tmobile galaxy s2. i think it has to do with the Qualcomm chip on tmobiles stock roms.
When i had sprint i bought my girlfriend a galaxy s2 on the sprint network which runs the samsung exynos chip. She never complained about any lag or freezing whatsoever. I then left sprint because of their garbage network and joined tmobile.
bought 2 galaxy s2s and i noticed the lag almost immediately. The phone has random lag spikes as well as freezing and force closes. It had it on stock gingerbread and it has it on stock ICS too.
My girlfriend complains about freezing all the time so i decided to root her phone too. Right now im testing DarkSides v7 rom and if its pretty good in performance i will flash her phone with it too. So far it has been pretty snappy and everything works.

follow that first post. i went through exactly the same problems and found this guide and am now happy again and running stock GB on my Galaxy S2.
Because you are on stock ics (im guessing you are..), you can just follow that guide and flash the UVLDE update.
Yes clock resets to standard standard time.. I already did a factory reset and worked done for a couple weeks. My wife has same phone and she is getting the freeze ups now.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try. But it really shouldn't be necessary on a phone that's got more going for it than the stock nexus that 1st came out with ics.

You have lots of apps running in the background. Check what is starting at boot and constantly running. You also can overclock your device for faster game loading and scrolling.

I have been using rasbean pretty religiously since porting it for the sprint nexus. I haven't had any slow downs in fact its stayed as fast as it was when I first flashed the ROM clean. Which for me is weird because on other ROMs I always had a slow down after a couple weeks. But not the case on rasbean. I suggest you try it with trinity kernel. Its a stock ROM with hand coded options.

I can almost confirm that:
Bought a new, 4.1.1 Nexus - everything fine
Flashed AOKP, restored some apps with Titanium and filled it with stuff - slow
Flashed CM10 & MIUI - slow
Deleted everything, flashe CM10 and left 3.1GB free - everything fine
In between I also flashed franco and trinity kernels, tried deactivating 5GHz Wifi, tried not restoring with Titanium, deleted many files and maybe other things that I don't remember about.
Looks like you don't have to ever go below 3GB free.

yes, rebooted every 3-4 days. i really don't understand. stock rom was slowed down after I copied my musics about 10 gigs. and now on pa rom slowed down after i downloaded 5-6 mp3 from internet. all I have was 10-15 songs on the phone. and 2 movies about 8-9gb. i always watch movies and delete. after slowed down i removed movies, songs and also google music app but nothing changed.i also flashed a lag fix from somewhere i dont remember but again slow slowslowww now i tried to wipe cache, dalvic cache but nothing changed... when i tap facebook it hangs for 10 seconds and says not responding close app? i say wait and then it opens...
I have the same problem... Slooow as hell, apps FCs and not responding... Problem even stays after flashing other ROMs and stuff... I hope a factory reset will just do it...
So do you all recommend what is discussed in the link you posted or overclocking which one works better? If overclocking what speeds so you recommend?

I'm using a rooted Zenfone 2 551ML and i'm on stock Asus ROM, my problem is that when i take a picture using the stock camera app, it takes like 2 seconds to load before i can take a picture again. Also, while i'm chatting with someone over the Messenger app by Facebook, the keyboard pop ups lag sooo much that sometimes it renders the keyboard unusable since it's covering the letters. All software are up to date.
Does anyone else have this kind of problem, and if you have experience the same problem is there a fix for this?
Did you updated your ROM? And Wipe Cache in Recovery after instalation
Use any other keyboard and for camera lag wait for a new update from asus..... Its a software problem which was not there until .18.20
