So, I've been flashing roms since February, and I am starting to see several random issues all of a sudden.
On a fresh flash of a rom that I have used for a LONG time, I suddenly have force closers on the Weather Unlock animation. My phone reboots randomly (I posted about this issue in rigid detail a few months back). I tried a different Sense 3.5 rom, and I suddenly cannot change certain settings. So, what's going on?
I've also noticed this strange behavior. When I flash from rom to rom, occasionally it will either have the background of the rom before, or the background of the last time that I flashed the same rom. I wonder if "footprints" are being left behind somehow.
And of course, I triple wipe everything, sooo...any opinions/ideas/help?
Using Smelkus 4.3 recovery, by the way.

Remove everything from your SD and format or partion, then if your still having issues go to recovery - other - fix permission and see of that helps. What size and class is your SD?

Well the second thing about the wallpaper that is because you have it set to backup your settings. If you go to settings>privacy check backup then uncheck automatic restore then uncheck backup. So everytime you flash a rom skip through all the start up menus and do what I said above. Having that backup thing checked is linked to your gmail so whenever you signed in it would automatically restore your previous settings

It's a 32gb card, and I don't remember the class. I'll edit my post in a few with that info. But I had those problems before and after my recent format/partitioning of my card. It IS less frequent after the partition, though.

Wow...never thought about that. Strange how it was always checked, but NEVER worked up till recently. It also restores my installed apps, but at a slim chance of success. Usually, I flash, link my email initially, and nothing happens. I've only sren this implemented properly on JB roms, regardless of device.

Are you using a2sd? Anything above a class four and over a certain gig will cause issues. I'm assuming yours is a class ten and that could be some of your issue.

The reason it doesn't install your apps automatically after you link your email is because you haven't opened the market. Once you open the market app and hit agree it starte installing your apps

The class 10 shouldn't be a problem, but anything more than 16GB I think may be the problem. Wasn't the evo made only for a maximum of 4/8GB??
Also buy a recognised brand (e.g. Sandisk) to reduce any problems.
I have a Toshiba 16GB Class 10 and so far has played nicely. *touch wood*

I think that the Evo was made for a max of 16gb. But it certainly seems like my sd card is the problem. My original 8gb card became corrupted when my phone dropped (yes, it made me cringe, too...it fell pretty hard...), and I thought a 32gb card was the best idea I ever had. Apparently not. Sucks...but I'm not getting a new card.

I am using a2sd. However, my card wasn't always partitioned, and I had some rebooting issues before the card was ever modified. I am not disregarding what you are saying, but I think the problem goes beyond a2sd. I will confirm, however, that I have had more problems from the time I partitioned my card. But the benefits far outweigh the issues. For example, I LOVE the fact that I can flash a new rom and use Titanium Backup to Batch Install all of my apps without starting and stopping to move them to the sd card for more space.
I use an 32 gig class 4 SanDisk and have never had any problems with it. And on another note, if you're partitioned, when you flash a rom, and are on smelkus just do superwipe and clear temp. Files (aka cache, dalvik cache, and temp. Files) then when you flash your new rom all your apps will still be there as that partition hasn't been wiped. As long as the rom you use supports a2sd. All you have to get back is app data. a nice feature that I love, and have never had a problem with so far.

Flash another rom, Myn's rom supports the cam in 004.
Same thing happened to me and I went thru 4 evos In 1 week all of them did the same thing. So I thought to myself I am extremely unlucky but then realized that there was one thing all of my phones had in common, my sd card. I saved my pics to my computer and reformated my card and sure enought it worked. So try reformating your card or try a different card and if that don't work go to sprint and raise hell.

And yes, I had this same problem happen, after reformatting my SD card all was good. But make sure you backup your data to your pc, so you can transfer back after formatting.

Take all the pics off of your sd card and format it with the evo then replace the pics into the DCIM folder and you will be fine. It has happened to me too on my replacement phone too.
I tried format didn't work but if I put pictures back in it should work
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I have the same problem as well and I can say with confidence the sd card is the problem. I got a new evo and a new sd card all was good until I copied my old files to the new card. The camcorder stopped working until I formatted the card then it worked. Afterwards I copied my pics only to the card and it was working fine. When I moved some apps to the card it stopped working again. I'm not really sure if it's a single app that's causing that or moving apps to the card is the problem.

Agreed and for some reason, RLS-1 is a tad faster than RC-2. You can boot into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik and then create a nandroid backup of just your data & your sdext (if you have your apps stored on an ext3 partition). Afterwards, if you decide to flash RLS-1, all you have to do after booting to your new home screen is skip the sign-in process, remove the default widgets from all 7 screens and then reboot back into recovery and restore the nandroid you just made of your data & sdext. When you boot to your homescreen, you will find that all of your apps and data are present and your homescreens are as they were when you had RC-2 installed. DO NOT DO THIS if you're going to from RC-2 to RSL-1 G-mode.
Thanks for the info. I haven't partitioned my SD card yet. Why has this Rom gone to the partitioning.

You do NOT have to partition your card to use RLS-1, however, I do not know how many apps and games you will be installing on your device. The CM A2SD script is built-in to Synergy so that it auto-detects an ext3 partition and cause your apps to automatically be stored there upon installation. It's beneficial in freeing up internal storage.

Thanks, i went ahead and partitioned. It only makes sense to have the extra internal room. Thanks for ur help.

Hey guys, I had a quick question on the RC2 God Mode Synergy Rom.
Is there anyway to turn the landscape mode off or flash something to turn it off so it doesn't switch between vertical and horizontal when I'm at my main home screen?
I like to keep the landscape mode available when I use the web browser, games, and certain apps, but the auto rotation when I'm at the home screening is kind of a pain esp. if you are moving around.
How does A2sd work with the stock evo class 2 card? Saw some posts that apps are slow on the slower stock sd cards.

Oh btw it is a 2gb one and it says sd-c026 taiwan on the back. Could it be faulty? But i can transfer regular files to and from it.

Thanks for all of your responses. The problem has since been solved after I had flashed a new rom. I must say, I was fascinated by the smoothness of gb roms after having chased the latest versions of android for the past idk how long.
So ever since I started modding this phone with custom ROMs, I have had an issue with almost every ROM freezing just a bit when installing/updating apps. It all started after installing Chemistry ROM, and then has been happening on every ROM I've been on since then (Paranoid, TPR, Goodness). It happens right after the app finishes installing, my phone is useless and frozen for a good 5-10 seconds. Has anyone had that issue and possibly know a fix?

might be worth a shot.
I hope you get it fixed soon

Maybe your partition got messed up. I know it seems like a PITA but did you try to Odin back to stock and reset partition? Not sure if you need a special file for the reset of the partition though? Maybe someone can answer that before you proceed.
I would say to back up your internal and external sdcards and then reformat each one twice...then go into recovery, wipe everything and reflash your rom
I know its sounds like a long and annoying process, but in the long run your sdcards will perform better even if they arent the source of this issue
Here's a short video. You can see how I install the app and then it freezes and then all of a sudden "snaps back" to what I was doing.

Try running some read/write benchmarks on your internal sd. The transfer speeds may just be slow and thats whats causing it

Haha no problem, just download any app that will test your transfer speeds (read and write) a couple times, if quadrant tell you that then use that
What i mean when i say this is not that it will fix it, but it'll tell you if the transfer component is the issue behind why you're experiencing lag when installing apps. You can then proceed to fix it by reformatting your internal and external sdcards
OK so I downloaded Antutu and ran a benchmark for Database IO and SD Card Read/Write and got a score of 555. Is that ok? What do I do now?
Honestly have no idea what I'm doing or what I'm looking for. How do you format like you said?

Hello. For the past 2 day's my phone has been REALLY slow not to mention laggy as hell. It all started when I lend my sd card to a friend overnight so he can watch man of steel along with other movies I had on it. Here is the thing. He's phone is a MESS. He has the s2 and that thing turns off on him ALL the time. Freezes. So now my galaxy note 2 is actin stupid when I download a large game (around 230mb) it begins to lag. The screen will not respond for like 5 seconds then it touches everywhere I did. Ive tried reseting my phone nothing. Tried a back up/dfferent rom. No dice.

Does the phone to back to normal with the SD card out?
You could try copying your all of your SD card to your computer, deleting all of the files on it, formatting the SD card, and copying back what you need.
Also, I've found my phone used to lag when I racked up too many text messages. I currently use Handcent and have it set to keep only a certain amount per thread...I routinely go through all my threads and delete conversations with people I hardly text as well.
Hope this helps!

In addition to wiping cache and dalvik cache, do a "fix permissions" under advanced in recovery.
If that doesn't work - I would recommend in recovery that you mount /system and then format system. Then immediately flash a rom or a backup made before the trouble started...
