hi guys,i'm wondering,what is the best and stable Android build that u haved tested? i see alot of builds here but i dont know witch one to choose
All builds are pretty good, it really depends on your personal taste, and what you're looking for.
I'm running Not So Super Froyo Latest RLS, with 2.6.25 kernel by l1q1d, so far pretty good build.
Had several crashes the last 2 weeks, but all kernel related to phone sleeping, but minor data corruption (fixed by reinstalling the corrupted app, unless it's a system file then I just reinstall the build)

your systems apps should not get corrupted, potentially minor data loss though because of the odexing process the classes.dex files are not kept in the dalvik cache. so the only thing that could have a problem is the launcher.
this is what the reboot protection was moving the dalvik to the sd so that way it wasnt kept on the system, since the sd does unmount when shutting down
for me the best is Fat Free Froyo with lastest 2.6.25 kernel from git.
The stability really comes from the .25 kernel as it is much more older and mature. My barebones build might work with .25? I haven't tested it but I recall someone saying it worked.
I don't think it will work since scooters cyanogen has a different libskia than other builds

Apparently that doesn't work for me, especially with the 2.6.32 kernel. No matter how I reboot (button, battery, actual menu option), almost all apps get corrupted, and the Framework gets completely shot the **** (no lock screens, unable to silence phone or turn on Airplane mode).
The Dalvik move to SD apparently doesn't work for me either, unless it's only on a certain build? I'm using Not So Super Froyo RLS18.
I must reflash rom every one -two day, its crash, not workink proceses, system its very slow, after restart phone not remember settings and sometimes delete any data. i test very much roms,
Best Android build is Warbyte Donut for me, very stable and all works fine and quickly, but it is Donut and I Need Froyo..
i see
i got instaled a Donut build,but the white screen and the file system coruption made me to switch back to Wm i'll w8 untill a new build will appeare
fat free
I've got the fat free froyo on kaiser with .32 kernel downloaded with atools.
It works fine with an sd system install (class 6). Fast and stable.
You can olso try system on nand and data on sd! I could not do this because my nand is corrupt....but the result was really good.
The problem you were having was caused by your kernel not the build

Yes it was a kernel fault. Listen to people who are more knowledgeable than yourself. Next time install kernel from '25 branch which is stable and doesn,t suffer from white screens and data corruption. The kernel you used was experimental and it still doesnt work as well as we would want it to.

people like you the, i know everything because i manage to get android booting on my windows mobile phone even though i looked at maybe 1 tutorial and read it half way. the flash first read 2nd type. are pretty much the entire reason why there hasnt been a new Not so super or fat free froyo.

is u want to give me that Kernel i'll apreciate! my karnel was from l1q1d's page (2.6.32)
well i am getting confused here, which link has the latest cm7?
And can anyone give clear instructions on flashing the cm7 and gapps?
your help will be much appreciated... I'm still new at this and i just wanna be sure so that i won't brick my phone..
P.S.
if there is already thread could redirect me to that thread thanks!
http://code.google.com/p/cm7-wildfire-s/downloads/list
This will have all future updates too, so might be worth you bookmarking.
is this stable?
Yeah latest is stable mate.
To be honest they have all been stable since 7.2
Use clockwork mod to flash the zip then flash gapps then restart.
Make sure to wipe all data and cache including dalvik in advance menu of cwm before flashing.
Good luck.
one final question,, is it OC capable?
Yes you can overclock in:
Settings- cyanogen- performance
Just remember each phone processor will perform different.
If you find its unstable on highest frequency, lower it a step until you find your stable sweetspot.
Mine is fine at 806MHz but some people have issues.
its still a rom im searching for...
hi intel...kind a off topic but where can i find cm7.1? i don't mind about the camera thing but i want to get as much juice as possible since im also a hard user, ive been looking around but i cant find the rom...thanks...
I have a copy that I can send you or upload somewhere.
BUT it also has wifi data issues.
It disconnects and only a restart can get it running again.
about wifi...is it a system restart or i just have to toggle wifi on again? and the disconnects are they prone? sucks that i use wifi most of the time...
System restart I'm afraid. Toggle on an off doesn't get it back.
Seems to be a regular annoyance that randomly happens with no warning.
now that's a major bug...thanks mate...
No problem mate.
Hello,
I've bought this phone to my father about one week ago and I've performed the Stock ROM OTA upgrade just after the purchase.
The problem I've encountered with my father's phone is that sometimes it freezes even if I'm not doing anything heavy load. For instance, during a widget change on the home screen or a similar operation.
Then the phone rebooted itself automatically, after a freeze.
Sometimes I have to reboot the phone manually (forced switch off).
Many times Skype FCs also happen.
Sometimes instead, it is smooth and fast...
Before switching to a Custom ROM, I would like to know what the problem could be. I would leave the stock one installed because, just in case of warranty return, I could be not available to reflash the stock ROM and unroot the device for my father.
These are the characteristics:
Android: 2.3.6
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-perf-I8150XXLA2-CL869026
Build: GINGERBREAD.XXLA2
Device storage memory: used: 190MB, Free: 0,88GB
RAM: 151MB used - 139MB Free
Can somebody help me?
Hi.
I had this problem with a custom rom, not with a Stock.
If you like, you could try flash with ODIN a Brasilian Stock 2.3.6. Has English and work good. A had 2 or 3 lags and restart but now its stable.
I recommend a Factory Reset before install other ROM.
if you like, sent a PM and i will sent for you a Google Docs (more fast than hotfile.com) link for this ROM.
Thank you but I need a ROM with also the Italian language this time.
So, if you say you had such issues with a custom ROM, could it be a hardware issue? I know I didn't buy a HTC device like mine ( ) but a typical usability would be appreciated even on this device.
Did you have done Factory Reset before you start to use SGW and install first apps? It is recommended for branded ROM.
I didn't do the factory reset, neither after the purchase nor after the OTA upgrade.
hey... you have some problem with me... it freeze and reboot itself.. now i wait my SGW back from factory... hahaha
Its happened alot to me even after a factory reset and the only reason why (or so i found) is because of low ram (twlauncher(default)is the main ram hogger) but apart from that our phone has no other issues *off topic* but the GS/GS2 has soo many more issues then ours amazingly enough. *on topic* id recomend using something like go launcher EX or spb shell to minimize that problem from happening again. Gmaster out.

Go ahead and use a custom rom. The crashes/reboots wont efect it the only thing that might is sudden battery loss/low battery

This is the last chance for me. If possible, I would avoid to flash a custom ROM on this phone for now unless I'm "obliged".
I don't think you should have to flash custom ROM...perhaps custom Recovery!!!
Do you still have Stock Recovery?
It is advisable, the get a lot more options, to flash ClockworkMod Recovery....via ODIN
There is an option there called "fix permissions".....
which you can use to literally scan all files on your device, and reset the linux permissions on your apps....these can become corrupted after FW updates....
First, make Nandroid Backup of current ROM in Recovery!!!! to be safe!!!!
allow the script to finish in recovery, then reboot system....
this "may" fix FC and random reboot issues...
you will need Root and CWM....both available on threads in the Forum

Mmmh... file permissions? It sounds like an odd fact that the OTA upgrade breaks the file permissions. But you maybe right!
The problem is that I would like to leave such phone as much Stock as possible, without rooting or flashing anything not stock.
Stick to stock FW n go V6 SuperCharger it will settle all issues coz it will be used by your love one...

Maybe??? There is no doubt, just use Google, and search for Android Fix Permissions....it can fix your problem!!!
It is well known that OTA upgrades only necessary files, not all files, to keep download as small as possible!!!!
permissions can be broken by any variety of reasons, and it don't cost anything to run fix_permissions script....
here is a little description, from Cyanogen, which gives more info....which applies to CM of course....we do not have fix_permissions script in Stock ROM, so no Terminal option.....but the script is available in XDA, which can be flashed through Recovery.....
If you don't wanna Root, or install Custom Recovery, I just don't know!!!
You can keep a copy of everything "as is" with Nandroid backup, which you could restore with Clockwork, then wipe Clockwork by re-flashing Stock Recovery with ODIN or adb.....it's in the Forum somewhere....and then UnRoot...it is also here somewhere......then you would be back to exactly what you have now.....if you are worried or need to return to Sammy

V6 SC will help with Memory Management, which can prevent FC's of Apps by System looking for RAM.....I also would advocate it's use......it's very good.....
but it don't fix everything, it is not some kind of Super-cure!!!
Thanks a lot!
I did understand now!

I made a search with google and I've found this.

Yeah, that is from Stericson...the guy who has best Busybox Installer on Market!!!
I got it, it is good........but it is only if you know which App(s) are misbehaving!!
And requires Root on device!!!!
He promises to update for all Apps, but has not happened yet.....
Honestly, Flashing CWM Recovery is eezy peezy......and going back to Stock Recovery is just as eeezy!!!!!
You can do with ODIN, no need to Root, and it will allow you to back-up current ROM...which is always a good thing!!!! And, importantly, you can run Fix Permissions in Recovery
Ok ok...
and what about the SDCard issue, since it is not "properly detected" as XXGB ??? I've read that a fstab modification is needed for that. I know it is a little bit OT here, but since you told to make a nandroid backup on SD, I would like to know if there is something to set up with the SD before doing anything.

unless you have custom rom installed, which has implemented mount-point swap in vold.fstab, I don't know what you mean here....
CWM recovery provides for Nandroid Backup to be saved either to:
SD.....[Internal SD/USB].....select backup in Nandroid Menu
or External SD....select backup to external sdcard in Nandroid
Perhaps I misunderstand you???
I'm sorry I made a mistake.... it seems all right now.
Hello guys.As you all know we won't be getting official JB from sony,i want to try other JB rom for my xperia arc.It's bootloader is locked and i don't want to unlock it now(my bootloader can be unlocked,i checked the info).So what's the best JB for now?
I have my xperia arc on official ony ICS which is supercharged and lots of other modes but it still lags sometime,hangs when using browsers,games and other multitasking.The RAM is always low like 90-100 after some apps uses.So i wan to try JB as it may be faster than current ICS.

JB's rom have less ram than ICS and also u need to unlock your bootloader cause only FXP based kernel works with JB
Jb requires a different kernel so you can't install it in locked bootloader.
You can try a jelly sandwich which give the look of jb but not fully jelly bean power.
I think you should wait for jb to be fully stable then unlock the bootloader to feel full taste of jb.

same reason why ICS use more ram than GB, to make everything faster, it use more resource.
Also FXP still have to finish the CM10 so they have to optimize Ram usage.
Supercharger is the thing causing your fc's and terible lag. Get rid of it. Restore to factory do everything you would usually do excluding the supercharger its not needed anymore as the problems like homescreen redraws are now fixed in 587. I was having the exact same problems as you mate its supercharger, no doubts about it. Do a nandroid backup first restore to stock, restore your programs with titanium and test for lag and fc's.
Alternatively before doing a factory reset try unsupercharging then booting into recovery and wipe dalvik cache and cache partition and see if that sorts it before restoring.

then your os is setup incorrectly the screen redraw problem has been fixed so i reckon its an app on your phone causing it. If your not using stock launcher its most likely your third party launcher, Give me your phone id set it up correctly without supercharger and with nothing fcing ever. My tip is irrelevant if your using a custom rom and a third party launcher as thats the problem custom roms need to be supercharged really as they suck.

I also think i started having lags after supercharger.I was very annoyed by home app redraw so i supercharged it.app redraw problem was gone but RAM seems to be low all the time and my games(even 2D sometime) started lagging.Are you 100% sure .587 has no app redraw problem.I hread 587 has only some minor changes like baseband etc.I am in .431 so i think i will flash .587(as i have O2 version which didn't get ICS )
Also isn't CM10 fully working?Do i have to flash another kernel and unlock bootloader for this.I heard flashing kernel and unlocking bootloader can break phones?

100% mate. Just make sure to use stock launcher yes the folders are a bit boring compared to 3rd party but it’s stable. Also task managers can’t kill my launcher on 587 nor my keyboard nor my systemui. These 3 apps stay open constantly. Also the contacts, dialler and messaging apps now stays active in memory and not exiting like it used to. They all stay up no matter what (first three not the last three). All of the problems I was having after installing ics stopped when I upgraded to 587 the memory management is much better.
Also don't use task managers to kill programs let android manage the ram. Install a program called watchdog and set it to aggressive mode you can then track down what program if any are unstable and then use autolaunches to stop the badly coded program from booting if you cant 100% live without said program.
Good article on this here
http://lifehacker.com/5650894/andro...ed-what-they-do-and-why-you-shouldnt-use-them
After making allot of configurations to the phone such as installing or uninstalling lots of programs clear the dalvik cache and cache partition with cwm say once a month.
Just do a backup and a simple test upgrade to 587 restore your apps, install some games and test for lag also install advanced task killer and try killing the launcher. The lag in games was the same for me as well with supercharger with exception to all of them crashing during load or 5 minutes after loading. Supercharger cause me so many ****ing headaches and it took me ages to work out what it was.
I agree btw on releases before 587 I was having a lot of problems that 587 sorted. I was really close to buying another phone but 587 sorted my phone out. Also stay away from unlocking the bootloader. You will try lots of different ROMs and come to the conclusion that there all ****e. They all have some bugs or lots of bugs. The only time that would be worth looking at is maybe when jb is released.
I personally unlocked by bootloader and had custom ROMs on it. The phone completely died a couple of months later. I looked after my phone never dropped it ever, It may be related which I personally believe but then again it might not which I doubt. Root the phone, stay on stock and use watchdog to track down badly coded programs. Tracking down the **** programs and getting rid of them will do more for your phones performance that any build.prop tweak you can think of and if you can’t live without the badly coded program you can just use autostarts to stop it auto launching and to only launch when you do it yourself
I also disagree on the minor changes front if it wasn’t for 587 I would be out of pocket by about £700 as I was so close to buying an iphone. 587 definitely sorted the memory management out for me.
For more ram I used swapper,only works on 587,no more lag...I played asphalt 7 and wild blood very smooth,just use the last andreno software...

Hello guys,
Dunno if you are experiencing this, but i am having some problems with my nexus. After clean installing a rom, everything works perfectly smooth and fast, but after i install my usual apps and copy some music, the phone starts to be verry sluggish.
Is there any way i can get rid of that. This happens with allmost every rom and kernel combination out there. :silly:

YMMV, I suppose, and everyone defines their interpretation of lag differently...but keeping your cache clean and minimizing the number of processes you have running @ any given time is the best approach to smooth sailing, regardless of stock or custom.
If running stock, disregard this next piece of advice, but if custom...up your minimum gov. on your kernel, and give it a go. You'll sacrifice a bit of battery life, but increase response time.
rebbot on recovery and clean cache and dalvik cache always works for me.
