Ok since this the third time typing this here is the condensed version. Running myns rls5 ontop of toastmod kernel listed on same page. Initial flash went ok minus the Flickr screen, distortion lines laterally, horrendous battery life, weird boot process...osmonitor I had to install due to interference with the OS. Myns crashed a lot with in first flash. Also some one dumb down how to use an irc app cuz I'm also lost....also what IM service can I get hold of u guys on cuz I hate forums.... too impatient
Ok no help? Not even some direction for irc where I can get some real help? Well just flashed a diff kernel thanks for the help guys. The Droid community has been a very unhelpful one compared to iPhone....
(irc help would be awesome still since I now have some help with main issue- I enter all the correct info into the app but it shows nothin. I've tried several to no avail. I appreciate the help) second I've ran into more pretentious ppl in these forums for Android then others no offense to the good guys but just my exp. It was brash to say that in this post tho. Thank you guys again for the ones willing.
That's because even the biggest idiot can work an iphone.

Patience dude. I didn't catch it, but what exact kernel are you using, net has a lot of em, the one in the OP of myn's thread you mean? What recovery(and version of that recovery, some versions of clockwork floating around that have some bugs i think) did you use to flash the rom? what radio version and pri version do you currently have installed? Which ROM were you coming from, and did you do a full wipe(data, cache, davlik cache) before flashing it? I have never experienced anything like you are describing whilst using Myn's, his ROMs have been solid. Give a little more info and surely we can help you get running smoothly again.
thanks for the reply heres the details...myn's rls5, net toast havs more, ra_superson
Sincerely thanks for your reply. Typing this on my evo as my screen tears on and off. Running ra_supersonic(newest ver.) With Myns rls5 on net havs more smartass as listed on page. Updated to current radio and pri as listed on his post. Only dalvik and cache wiped not data. Flashed
Hulu and data governor hacks...CPU is only overlooked to 1190 in smartass and can't go any higher. This was my first root and flash so came from stock 2.2 on 3.30 ver. Have noticed avg using temp is around 103 off charger, cameras broke, my CPU in system panel says I'm running 100% continuously. Did a fast reboot , norm reboot, and still doin it. I had diminished battery life from the get go, I understand battery life per clockspeed relation but have underclocked profile to try to assist, which only cause frustration when coming back from lock screen and its still tryin to switch profile. Lagged the phone nearly locked out several times cuz it couldn't keep up with my fingers.0003 hw....I think that's it. Thank you again
Looks like we're running nearly the same setup, minus my ra_supersonic 2.2.1 recovery. I have attempted the stock kernel furnished in the Rom zip but since it didn't offer overclock I switched to net havs more smartass. I do the dalvik and cache wipe each time.

Not trying to be a smart ass but do you realize that by insulting us will not get you any help? Rhetorical question
From reading what you jus stated the obvious problem is you did not do a FULL WIPE as you should do when flashing between roms.
Also next time please be patient as those like myself who browse through this section to help impatient ppl like your self, do actually have a life outside of xda. Its been a big snow storm in the southeast so most like myself included are outside enjoying the snow!
DO A FULL WIPE THEN REPORT BACK!
Gonna ignore the soap box chatter...
Obviously know I didn't do full wipe.....just gonna wait for other poster
gotta do a full wipe if you are switching between roms
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
also make sure whatever kernel your using works with the 3.70 based roms, as many dont.

Sorry you feel that way but since i have had the hero, on every thread about a rom says wipe all! This must be a joke for someone as rude as yourself to come on here and disrespect those who are trying to help.
Next time you decide to flash a rom remember to do a full wipe because inside the data partition is files for the particular rom, if you dont wipe, the new files will just over lay but not delete the old one. This will cause conflicting issues within the files as the phone tries to do both at the same time.
Screen tearing and the "jigglies" as I like to call it have always come from kernels - in my experience. And just because someone might have the same set up as you, the way it affects your phone ccan be quite different as you are running different apps, different settings, etc.
First thing I would do if I were you is to freeze any kernel govenor you are using - no setcpu, no secreen off profile, no set on boot, no os monitor govenor, no nothing like that. You don't want want any of that going on when you flash a new rom or kernel.
I know you don't want to do a full data wipe so let's see if we cna get you going without that. I used to HATE doing data wipes, I don't mind so much now because I've learned that trobule shooting can frequently take longer than just doing a data wipe.
I would say #1 make sure you are using AMON RA. Power button-reboot-recovery. Wipe cache at least twice, wipe dalvik at least twice. Now JUST flash the rom (you've already said your radios are updated so you wont have a problem with this). Let the phone boot up and give it time to settle in. You wont have any screan tearing. Now you're running a completely stock Myn's rls5 rom. Check some stuff out, make sure your basic settings are good, make sure your 4g is not scanning, etc.
Make a nandroid of this and keep it.
Now start making changes if you'd like. Flash a different font, flash a different kernel, etc. But leave all the governors OFF until you have a kernel that you KNOW will run ok on your phone. For example - I can run 2 of ziggy's kernels but the others don't work for me. I can run a few of net's kernels, but many don't work for me.
So my basic suggestion is to make sure you get a stable, stock Myn's rls5 on your phone before you mod it. If you can't get that, then yes - you might want to wipe data. Doing a batch backup in Titanium is really easy and it makes restoring very easy as well. It's our own customizing that is time consuming because we are all probably very picky (and proud!) of our beautiful phones.
Thanks for the helpful info from ALL that posted. I understand the risk of the non entire wipe, nandroid is safe of original stock Rom but not of new one. After tinkering with setcpu I've gotten more consistent stability. I know I will reflash with an entire data wipe here soon to see results. Running ra_supersonic 2.2.1 recovery.
I've made list of check point when I test some new Roms and kernels. I have some more question on backing up user info from backed up apps but Im sure ill find it on here.
Now that my system is stable for the time being, some one mind help me setup irc? And also has anyone issues with camera breaking with this Rom or kernel? I should wait to wipe entirely to see if it fixes, but I'd rather not waste my time with this Rom or kernel if the camera won't work. Love everything else about this Rom, need to learn more about the kernel to praise it. Ra_supersonic 2.2.1 recovery i like also.

You're welcome. I am late at getting back to this post, but yea. Definitely. As everyone else has suggested, you have to do a full wipe when changing ROMS. Only time you could get away with just wiping davlik cache and cache is when upgrading the same rom ( like from rls 3 to rls 4, and rls to rls 5), but even then, it doesn't always work. Full wipe is always recommended. I would also recommend downloading your apps one at a time from the market, and adding your mods one at a time, make sure everything is stable after each flash. Good luck.
QUOTE And also has anyone issues with camera breaking with this Rom or kernel? I should wait to wipe entirely to see if it fixes, but I'd rather not waste my time with this Rom or kernel if the camera won't work. Love everything else about this Rom, need to learn more about the kernel to praise it QUOTE
If your phone is the newer hardware (late 003 or 004), you can only use the stock kernel, or a kernel based off stock for the camera to work. That would be htc #15. I believe Net's 4.3 kernels are based off of that. I am also pretty sure that Net explains that in his kernel thread in the development section.
Thanks guys did the full wipe and reflashed, working ok except SD file permissions are screwed up now. I go to test camera and it says insufficient file permissions when I take a pic. I go to check in astro, I see all the file that are supposed to be there but no editing; it still shows rw. Did not have card in when full wipe was completed would that effect it? Any help? Haven't attempted another SD card. I hope this isn't the second SD card to be trashed during my rooting process. Atleast I can still see that there r files on there. Thanks for the help.
Also any help gettin set with irc? Still having a horrible time trying to work with it....it seems so simple.... so 0003hw are stuck with stock roms or ones based off them...I believe nets kernel on that page was. I will test it out and let you know. I just need to know about the SD card problem. Thanks again guys.
Theres been lots of issues with 3.70 based roms. I always stick to lower versions..usually 3.30 and have no problems.. i also hace seen alot of people having battery problems on 3.70 after updating to 1.90 pri. They usually downgrade to pri 1.77 and there good.....

This isn't true, the problem is ALWAYS the kernel. I'm running myn rls5 and mikfroyo 4.3 with an SBC #15 v7 kernel (i'll edit post and add the link) and I have had zero issues except I can't download MMS messages on 4g on mikfroyo.

Okay, this process will 100% work. It's the one I've been using since my lowly mytouch slide oh so many months ago.
*before you do this, make sure you have backups of your nandroid and your rsa keys. I'll edit post and give you links on how to back up your rsa keys*
RSA Key back-up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887900 ...since you're rooted you can go straight to the part where it says "if you're rooted do this.."
1. First you need to fix the sd card. Create a folder on your computer desktop and call it "my sd card". Plug your phone into the computer and select "disk drive". Next you're going to copy EVERYTHING from the sd card and place it in the folder on the desktop (and dude I mean everything! AS IS, DON'T CHANGE ANY NAMES). Then, you're going to unhook your phone, go to settings>sd and phone storage. Then you're going to format your sd card. Yes, do it, but make sure you have EVERYTHING backed up first. After that's done, plug your phone back in, select disk drive and copy everything from your "my sd card" folder on your computer and put it back onto your sd card.
*phew*
Okay now that the sd problem is fixed, here's how you fix the rest. You see, when you upgrade your PRI to 1.90 and your radio, etc etc you gotta update the kernel to a version that's 1.90 supported. I'll edit post and post a link to where you can find one OR you can just use the kernel that's included with myn's rom because it WILL WORK. *edit* the kernel I'm using has been taken down because of the witch hunt against SBC kernels. So for now, just stick with stock. It works just fine.
Anyway.
Steps to getting myn working perfectly.
*before starting, re-download myn rls5 in case the screen flickering was caused by a corrupted download*
1. Download Titanium Back-up from the market. Back up all the apps you want to keep (basically, anything you downloaded from the market as you'll get facebook, sense widgets, etc back). You can do this while you re-download the rom.
2. Make a nandroid back-up in case something goes seriously wrong. A rom that flickers your screen is better than a brick.
3. Once that back-up is done, reboot into recovery. Once there, you're going to WIPE EVERYTHING. Full data, cache and dalvik wipe. Yes, do it. There is no other option.
3. Flash myn's rom. Let it go all the way through. Do NOT flash a new kernel until you've found one that's 3.70 compatible and works with PRI 1.90. Myn rls5 is designed to work with the newest updates (which means a #15 kernel, like the one that came stock).
4. Reboot. If the screen is still flickering, then at this point it's a hardware problem. Flash back to stock, unroot and go get a new one. If it works fine, re-download titanium back-up from the market and restore all your apps. From there it's just putting your widgets back on your home screen.
From here, you can search the forums for a kernel that works with the newest updates. If you read them, they'll tell you what they're compatible with. Remember do NOT use an AOSP kernel with a SENSE rom, that's just spells IDIOCY. Until you find a kernel that works, stick with the one that came with the rom because everyone knows that one works.
I hope this helps. As for the IRC chat, not all the experts are on all the time. If no one is online that can help when you get one, try getting a few hours earlier or a few hours later.
This is a guide I’ve put together from my (in)experience with flashing ACS. It mainly comes from the replies of k0nane and theimpaler747 in the SyndicateROM thread. However, since there’s so many pages that can be tricky to search for idiots like me who just throw up random posts for others to solve their problems, I thought it would be good to summarize it along with anything I happened to notice from flashing a couple of Epics. Consider it the FIBI guide.
Step 1: Read all posts by k0nane on page 1 of the SyndicateROM thread before doing a damn thing! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976194
Instructions for CWM are in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897612
Useful hotkeys:
Download mode - Hold down 1 on the keyboard when you power on the phone
Recovery mode - Hold Volume down+camera+power to power on the phone
Reset phone - Hold volume up+camera+power. This generally works when the phone is completely locked up.
Flashing:
When going between versions of ACS, check their notes to see if you need to do anything other than flash. You can go between some versions without wiping or losing anything. You can also flash between standard and fully loaded without wiping or losing anything.
Sdcard doesn’t mount in CWM, but shows up in Android - Format the sdcard in Android.
Boot hangs on the Samsung screen – Redownload, format your SD card and reflash
Boot screen flashed between different things – Wipe cache & data 3x and reflash
Journaling:
Enable journaling – In CWM, go to backup and restore. Backup, then restore using that backup. Journaling enabled!
Make it so you don’t need journaling – Keep a copy of the ROM on your phone at all times. Should you ever have data corruption, jump into CWM and flash the ROM again. It’s quick, no wipes needed.
If you restore a backup made in CWM and want to have non-journaled again – Flash the ROM after restoring.
Other issues:
FC in a specific app – Go into manage applications and clear data for that app
FC in several apps – In CWM > Advanced, try fixing permissions. Can also clear caches, and if that doesn’t work, reflash the ROM.
If you have any major issues that seem unresolved, Odin everything back to stock with EB13, format your sdcard in android, re-download everything, re-install CWM, re-read all of k0nane’s posts on page 1 and try again.
If you want ads back – Install adfree from market and hit revert
If your phone is freezing often - Flash either the vision kernel found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012136 or the Twilight 1.0.4 kernel found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12504067&postcount=5904. I haven't had the freezing issues, but I'd recommend trying the vision kernel first as it has some other potential benefits.
Recommended tweaks and add ons:
Fugutweaks – This will smooth out a few random things on the phone. I’ve noticed more responsiveness on the lock screen and icons on my homescreen. Small, but nice. Install the ZIP in CWM, file can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981125
Impaled Keyboard – Makes the keyboard less likely to skip keys. Still have some, but they’ve gone down a lot. I use the Speed Demon Edition, still had a fair amount of dropped keys with standard one. Install the ZIP in CWM, file can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025533&page=18
SetCPU – Handles scaling the CPU and overclocking. Use ondemand setting for smooth performance. If you have issues when the phone is idle or it doesn’t wake up properly, set minimum CPU to 200Mhz. Free for XDA members, APK can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419
Battery Calibration – If you want to calibrate your battery without going into CWM, grab the app from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024867. It’s now available from the Android Market.
Vision Kernel – Pretty much Twilight + gives you 1.4Ghz and Voodoo colour which improves balance when brightness is at 100%. Flash in CWM, wipe dalvik. Kernel can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012136
And a final note that I'm now about 10 hours into testing... if you are using fully loaded and want better battery life, really try standard. It very easy to switch, it flashes over fully loaded with no wipes or data loss, the only thing you lose is that it resets your homescreens. But really, this is day 1 of it for me and 10 hours in I'm at 62% battery remaining. Usually by this time I'd be around 20%.
Great info! I recently installed the newest SyndicateROM 1.1.0 on my Epic and the only trouble I had was with the included Twilight 1.1.0 kernel. My phone kept freezing and I would have to pull the battery to reboot.
This is an issue that has been documented with the ROM and is said to be caused by the kernel and its adjustments to voltage and overclocking, not all phones handle this well.
To fix the issue I flashed the Twilight 1.0.4 kernel, as suggested by k0nane, and I am about a day into testing without any freezing issues. The only problem is that the Twilight 1.0.4 kernel has a known issue with video recording and it does not work.
Let me say that the performance increase from installing SyndicateROM and ext4 are well worth the trouble.
Have you tried the vision kernel? That might fix your freezing without breaking video recording.
is your brightness at 100%??? what was the difference between standard and fully loaded again??

What does the brightness have to do with anything? And for the differences, here's from the SyndicateROM thread:
k0nane said:
SyndicateROM Standard includes LauncherPro. All Samsung and Sprint bloatware are completely gone!
SyndicateROM Fully Loaded - the choice of ACS team lead rjmjr69 - features TouchWiz instead of LauncherPro, and adds in Social Network Sync, Facebook, BuddiesNow, Program Monitor, and the stock live wallpapers. All the rest of the bloat is still gone!

The brightness for battery life.
No, brightness is not at 100%. I generally use 0-25%, though I'll kick it to 100% when viewing photos or when I'm outside. Even with the lower brightness setting, I'd always have to recharge in the afternoon. I'm still doing a lot of testing for ways of having the battery last longer, today is longest it's ever gone for. I'll be adding more information when I feel like I've got a solid way of having it all setup.
OP, could you add the freezes and "terrible battery life" solutions? Namely, flash the kernel in the second post or VisionKernel. It's the most annoying one to answer multiple times daily.
Thanks much for this! Hopefully people read it.
I want to get the battery situation on my phone sorted out before adding it to the list. I was having pretty bad battery life, but switching to standard and removing gallery has made my phone last all day for the first time ever. I want to do some experiments between setcpu options, juicedefender and the vision kernel to see what works best. Hopefully by this weekend I'll have a more detailed idea as to how to get better battery life.
But for now, anyone having battery issues my current setup is using ACS standard and replacing gallery with quickpic. This has doubled my battery life.
Hey wassup everyone, first time writer long time viewer, and first let me say thanks to all the great people that have provided us with great roms for the epic and the syndicate team as well, Im currently using a Epic 4G with sindicate rom freeze 1.1.0 and i must say its awesome, aside from my battery dying really quickly when im runing it at 1.3ghz its actually great, usually i end up operatig it at 800mhz to actually save some battery life last me for 3 days at a time, and when i have it pluged in or show off my awesome epic i raise it back upto 1.3ghz, big difference cuz when i raise it up there my battery drains rather quickly like 3 percent a minute or so.....
well anyways now that, thats says, I have CWM 3..0.5 with syndicaterom twilight 1.1.0 and ive been sucessful at loading custom boot animation, but one thing is that im having trouble is loading the animation with sound? any idea onhow i can od that?, what are the steps, cuz so far ive been using root explorer to transfer and change bootanimation to load up on my screen, but i have no idea where to put the sound or how to even get it to load with the bootanimation any one have any ideas? please help, i do all his trought my phone, put the bootanimation on my sd and work from there and trasfer it to the system/media, most bootanimation that do have sound on them say to put it on the system/custimization/resources but i look every where and the syndicate rom doesnt have that archieve just the system/media, how can i load the sound into my boot? and how can i change the power off animation as wll?

Just tested Vision kernel 1.1 and ran into countless issues. My phone would not open camera, gallery, or music apps. And after that debacle I didnt even bother to find out if any other apps were misbehaving.
The first sign of trouble came when I installed a fresh version of SyndicateROM 1.1.0 and then flashed Vision kernel 1.1. The phone booted-up fine but when I went to shut down it immediately froze and I had to pull the battery.
Im going to stay on Twilight 1.0.4 kernel for a while until I find something else.
I have tested Twilight 1.0.4 kernel for about a day or two and have not had any problems so far. I even overclocked with SetCPU to 1.2GHz without any issues.

Please elaborate on the steps that you took to install the ROM and CWM.
What version of CWM are you running?
What modem do you have installed (...DK28, EB13, EC05)?
Have you transfered the SyndicateROM 1.1.0 onto your SD card before you installed CWM?
Did you wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache at least three times each before installing the .zip?
Your phone most likely is not bricked, that is a very hard to task to achieve. Worst case scenario you may have to do a clean wipe with odin and flash the stock ROM to start the process over. We can try to help you with any issues you may have but in the mean time try searching to the forum to find answers to these questions.
Hey, great idea for the thread.
Something I learned:
I was having AWFUL freezing problems. Tried all the fixes (vision kernel, old twilight) to no avail. If these don't fix your problems, try Genocide Kernel (on these forums). Solved my problems.

Have you transfered the SyndicateROM 1.1.0 onto your SD card before you installed CWM?
Did you wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache at least three times each before installing the .zip?
Your phone most likely is not bricked, that is a very hard to task to achieve. Worst case scenario you may have to do a clean wipe with odin and flash the stock ROM to start the process over. We can try to help you with any issues you may have but in the mean time try searching to the forum to find answers to these questions.

I used the one step root process I found here to install CWM 2.5.1.0. I then downloaded the ROM, copied it to my SDcard, then used CWM to install the zip from my sdcard.
I don't know what modem I have, is there a way to check with my phone in it's current state?
I installed CWM previous to transferring the rom to my sd card
I did not the first time, but per instructions on the page where I downloaded the ROM, I reformatted my sd card, redownloaded the ROM, wiped everything 3x's and tried to reinstall. Same result. I keep getting the error on just about everything I do that states "E:Can't open /cash/recovery/log"
And thank you for your advise, any more would be greatly appriciated. I did search the forum, but there is so much information, hard to find what I really want, especially as a novice. I plan to not be a novice for long thanks to xda!

I could probably answer that question, im still a noob, but from what i know u need to install CWM version 3.0.5/6 in order for u to run does roms, thats why ure having trouble flashing it, since Syndicate roms are EXT4 Base Roms anything lower then CWM3 wont support since they are RFS files, go here and follow the steps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976194
download the CWM3 and root it again, u can run the CWM Root over the previous 1 so dont worry, i did it that way and i had no problems what so ever, as to check to see what modem u had, go to settings, about phone, under base band version check to see if the last 4 letters says EB13, or DK28, or if u have the ECO5 which is the newest stock base update that came out.
Also its best to know if ure phone is from stock, or if u updated from any of the first 2 version updates, EB or DK, if u where like me that waited for the update and stayed at Eclair then updated when the ECO5 OTA came out then u should be fine....
Just incase u are from a update of EB or DK here is the link for does 2 versions of CWM3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897612
if im wrong then someone please correct me im still a noob learning.
EDIT: just noticed that u said ure phone is messed at that point, umm u can try to do a factory reset then restart ure phone see if that fixes the problem, then try follow the steps above, if that doesnt work, u will have to download odin, which is also in that link and reflash back to stock, everything is there so if u follow does instrunctions u wont have a problem.....its actually pretty easy.....
So I'm loving my EVO running CM 7.1. It runs really well and I love using the sd card partitioned for s2e, but sometimes I receive texts up to 3 days late. That's unacceptable.
Is it worth switching to another sense based rom? If so, I'd like to use one with God Mode for the increase in speeds, so any suggestions would be great.
On a side note, I was able to install Synergy with God Mode once, but wasn't able to have it boot again. I'm not a noob at rom switching, but I have no idea what the heck went wrong. I wiped everything, tried re-flashing, nothing. I gave up and went back to CM7.
Any responses are greatly appreciated, so thank you in advance.

Honestly with godmode the only thing I notice different is higher quadrant scores and that's about it it feels the same as the regular version. Also if you do choose godmode make sure your using amon RA recovery since only compatible with it. Also check out some of the roms in my sig I recommended those to everyone

there is more than cm7, click on the link in my sig to find out about all aosp kernels/roms and feel free to post any questions or anything there. i vote for aosp.
Solutions for Late Texts?
Thanks so much for the quick responses. Would switching to a Sense based rom for PRL updates and such fix the delayed text issue? Is there anything I can do with CM7 to fix it? It occurs randomly when I send and receive texts, but mainly receive.

I've tried those, but I just switched to Tiamat today, so I should give it a few more days to see if that hasn't solved it.
Godmode tends to be wacky, works for some, not for others. It worked on my phone for about a week, then went to FC city I tried to re-flash to fix it but then it bootlooped, kept doing that over and over til I finally figured I was one it won't work for and moved to non godmode. That ran fine til I switched to The Classic, the only difference I saw in godmode was benchmarks which IMO are worthless, the non godmode and godmode both performed the same in real life conditions. For your text issues try flashing up to date radios, then flash a stock sense Rom and update PRL and profile and flash back to cm7 see if they work better with everything updated. Otherwise you could use a sense Rom like The Classic v 0.0.4 very fast and very stable I've been running it since release from v 0.0.1 to v 0.0.4 which I am currently running with no issues thus far other than if u set autobrightness it is very sensitive in this release, so it adjusts very easily to small light changes. But it is one of the fastest sense roms I've tried and I've tried a lot cuz something about my evo hates AOSP, runs for a short time then random bootloops on all roms I've tried, cm7.1, miui, salvage mod, decks 1.3. So I stick to sense which I run senseless, I like my HTC apps anyways they look and feel more polished than most stock AOSP alternatives to me. But that's just personal preference. I've had text issues and updating PRL and profile always seemed to fix it for me so you could try just flashing a stock sense Rom update those and flash back to cm 7.1, hope that helps.

well if you click on the link in my sig there is an aosp GoDm0de kernel and i have the dl zip in my thread. in my opinion it is the best non-sbc kernel
I have been having some persistent freezes where I have had to pull the battery to get the phone to do anything at all. Here is what is happening:
1 - factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe DALVIK cache
2 - install either CyanogenMod 7 or TSM PoolParty rom
3 - restore apps only or apps+data via Titanium or download the apps new from the android market and amazon app store
At this point the phone works great and will remain running fine for any period of time. However when I install a new app (after my first batch install), the phone starts to freeze. The freezing requires me to pull the battery in order to regain any activity on my phone. But after the first freeze, the phone freezes after about 30-45 seconds regardless of what I am doing on the phone.
I'll admit to being a big noob when it comes to rooting roms so I don't know if there is any logs I can look at or what the proper troubleshooting actions should be. I want to keep root and the ASOP roms so any help would be most appreciated.
This used to happen to me. People blamed it on the Incredible 2 HD ROM. I blame it on the processor mixed with scripts that were found on sense. Try increasing your min frequency to the like 368000 one. I used aerovan's kernels with CPU Master/Set CPU with:
gov-smartass v2
max-111300
min-36800

You are also wiping wrong. You should wipe data/factory reset, format system, wipe dalvik.
Thank you for your reply AgalychnisCallidryas. Since I am using AOSP roms and not a Sense rom, would this fix still help (I still plan on trying what you said anyways)?
Also you mention that I am wiping wrong. Following your rom flashing guide, I am not sure what I format. I am not doing the back up steps (#1-6), and I don't see what to format before I get to step 12 where you install the rom.
Once again, thanks for your help and quick responses.
The steps I am talking about the CPU settings are FOR AOSP. Sorry for making it unclear. I was saying that the scripts in Sense fixed the problem, but there are no such ones in AOSP.
And I left the Format System out of my guide. Oops. Check it again, should be fixed now.
Well, I adjusted the cpu (I don't have gov-smartass v2 installed...and I honestly wasn't sure where to even get it from) using the settings in CM7 with no improvement. Is there anything else that you can think of?
Just a few questions?
Are you restoring with data on Titanium?
Are you undervolting?
I am willing to bet the problem is simple. What rom did you make your backup on? I have quit using titanium for all my backups unless there is game progress I am saving. I take the additional minutes to just install from market.

Also try flashing Areovan's kernal for AOSP.

Zax10,
I am using Titanium to restore my apps without system data, but the problem happens even when I download the apps new from the market (I'm approaching 9 GB of data because I have frozen so many times).
The problem has happened when restoring apps created on CM7 and TSM.
I do not mess with the voltage, other than the one attempt to fix my problem based upon what AgalychnisCallidryas said above.
I am currently trying Condemned CM7.2 rom and should it freeze again, then I will try adding in Arovan's Kernel....then I'll try Magnolia 2.0 rom
I would definitely flash Evans. 8 bfs kernel. I think changing cpu settings in cyanogenmod settings> cpu settings> I would change governor to either ondemand or interactive. Then I would check set on boot
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
Arovan's Kernel didn't help and in CM7 the governor is set to ondemand by default. I think I'm going to load a sense rom and see what happens. Also are there any log files that I can look at that will tell me why the freeze is happening?
what version of aero's are you using? bfs or cfs?
aeroevan_aosp_0.8_bfs
I have also now ran into the problem of not being able to download any apps to my phone, regardless of the rom, when selecting the app directly on my phone (I can still push apps to it from the web). I'm not so worried about that as I did find some potential solutions to it that I have yet to spend much time on, but if you happen to have a solution for that too then I'm willing to listen.
Hello,
I've been an inactive member for a while and don't have the 10 posts required to post in the android development forum yet.
I have Rooted my phone and got the clockwork recovery working, however, they are many ROMs i cant seem to install. After flashing the zip file and rebooting they either sit on the HTC white screen or keep rebooting on the HTC white screen. Why could this be? A few ROMs work but most don't seem to, in particular the ones that dont work are...
1. .SENSE Beta Universal v1.3
2. EQDKP v4.7 multi deodexed
3. HC MIUI3
4. M1ndh4x8r ROM Sense 2.1 GB2.3.5_2_1_2012
5. TurboFire Beta 9
I am mainly looking for a ROM that is Super Fast, has some form of App2SD, prolonged Battery Life, and is them-able using the Theme Chooser found in Cyanogen 7 ( Mainly function over beauty, though cant handle down right ugly)
Thanks,
Before you install the zip you wipe data/factory reset and also wipe the dalvik cache. See if this rids you of issues.
Yeah i do this every time, still no luck though :/
its because of the overclock speeds not everyones phone can handle 806 i found that out for myself i left the cpu at 806 and a few times ended up in a bootloop then i raced in once it eventually started then changed it to stock 600 and it ran fine so it was the overclock in my phone anyone elses i dont know

if you are full wiping before installation then it is something else
i don't know much about these ROMs, but do any of them require an ext partition on the sd card? check the ROM's individual requirements
gparted is recommended to create the partitions, there are guides around somewhere...

Thanks, I will try this now. I saw you said install it Twice, I will also try this but it would be harder with .SENSE since there are so many options. And im guessing with the Kernal you just flash it like the normal zip files?
Thanks again,

how does m1ndh4x8r say in his rom posts to download "600Mhz Default - for phones having OC, and booting problems" that was posted when people were getting freezes and bootloops or black screens i know its a white screen but it cant be that much of a diffrence because once i flashed the 600 default my phone was fine so they must be problems with it im not trying to start an arguement you have been here longer and have more experience with these roms but everytime ive had an overclocked rom its always the same boot problem unless its stock 600
