Android Revolution HD 7.1.0 possible issue

Hi, since I'm not allowed to post on development threads (new user), I want to report this "possible" issue with Mike's Android Revolution HD 7.1.0 for HTC One X.
I recently updated from ARHD 4.1 (which I've been using for more than a month with no issues to report) to 7.1 and noticed that few games continuously hang for a second or less.
How to reproduce:
Install TowerDefense free game from Android Market. While playing the screen freezes for 1 second (the game music also stops), then it resumes normally for a couple of seconds before it re-freezes again. And during the freeze, you can clearly hear a tick in your mobile's hardware.. it's like a small cracking, like the one you hear when you reboot a laptop!
I wonder if it is a ROM issue or my device who got sick after ARHD 7.1.0 upgrade. Anyone else had the same issue?
It seems Mike is going to release a new ROM today or soon, hope it will clear the issue.
Cheers!

Of course this is your user or a hardware error, there is nothing of this kind wrong with Mike's ROM. Probably you didn't follow all necessary steps.
So, prior to flashing 7.1.0:
Did you superwipe?
Did you flash the proper boot.img in fastboot?

No, I didn't superwipe since I wasn't coming from stock ROM.
I only cleared the cache, flashed the proper 7.x boot, cleared the dalvik cache, and then installed the new ROM from sdcard.

I would superwipe to be sure. 4.x and 7.x definitely has a different base.

ok, I will repeat with superwipe... I was only avoiding loosing customization

for me i had more game lags with arhd 7.1.0
i think 6.1.0 is better
so i think u should flash 6.1.0
becasue 4.04 is still under testing its a leaked version
press thanks if i helped

I'm using ARHD 7.1.0 and I have no issues with any game what so ever, Max Payne, Spider man, Sonic 4, Heroes Call, Asphalt 7, Dead trigger, all are working perfectly.

they are all working perfectly with no lag what so ever ? like sonic thd 2 or shadow gun thd they dont lag at all ? ?are u sure ?
cuz most of the user having lags in them
are u using any special tweaks ? or are u using setcpu or system tuner ? or special settings in governon ?

It is a must to superwipe when a new rom with a new base is released.
As for your tweaks/mods you have to wait for it for your base.
Besides, mike never forgets to put "no need to wipe if from x.x.x release".
If you want to keep your apps just titanium backup them.
Contacts sync to google if you saved them on your google account.
as for tweaks, well sorry mate you'll have to flash the newer versions for your base or wait for the release for your base.
This shouls clear things up

No lags, none, zero, runs smooth as butter, no tweaks, no mods, simple ARHD 7.1.0 flash with stock kernel.

Hey guys, I just superwiped before installing the new ARHD 7.2 (of course after flashing the correct boot.img and clearing cache) and got the same issue with TowerDefense game... So I'm thinking maybe it is a game compatibility issue with Android 4.0.4, and as ayhamx360 mentioned I will give it a shot and revert back to ARHD 6.1.1 (Android 4.0.3) as soon as I get some free time.
Another interesting "thing" to note in this new release (maybe it is an option in Android 4.0.4 and not in the custom ROM) is the new copy-paste behavior, that is:
(in any text editor i.e. note or task) If you have something copied to your clipboard, and wanna copy it after you wrote a few words, (tap and hold on until the menu appears) it will automatically select the last word written, then you need to tap again to have the "Paste" with no selection... it's not an issue but kinda annoying though

just flashed ARHD 6.1.1 twice... the first time was unsuccessful (with super-fast Rosie it was unable to load desktop), the second time successful with default stock Rosie. After testing: Games are OK, no more hanging/freezing. Pasting text OK as well.
Cheers!

PSStore on 4.0.4?

Hey all,
I am using a new rom, its ICS 4.0.4 and is made by Markphyton (you can find it at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790615). Im getting the same level of smoothness (and laglessness ) without over clocking on this ICS ROM as I do on some GB roms when overclocked!! Its literally epic!
Now, this ROM is amazing, I literally cannot find any faults with it bar two. Oh, and WiFI hotspot doesn't work, but seriously, who uses that anyway?
First fault which is kind of redundant; some apps wont restore properly using Titanium Backup Pro, some will (I've only had errors with my PS Store games though but other users are reporting the same issue), which brings me to my next point, I can't get into the ps store . It gives error code 8008103E, which apparently a build.prop edit will fix.
The fix doesn't work (changing the id etc. to r800i); I've even tried pushing the build.prop from Official beta - doesn't work either - It doesn't give me the error code as quickly but still, it's the same at the end, no access, no games.
Is there anyone that has an answer to why it isn't possible or a solution to make it possible?
Update: There may be a fix on the horizon, Markphyton is working on V6 of his ROM now and has obtained the latest f/w for Xperia S (ICS).. However, all input is still welcome so the question still stands..
Can anyone shed some light?

Nobody has any idea?
The same thing happens on his Stock ICS 4.0.4 V2 (with patch 2 installed) using the latest PSM and pspocket apps

[Q] PA 4.5 or 4.6 on GT-I9300 (Samsung Galaxy S3)?

Hi there,
I installed PA 4.45 and it was quite buggy on my GT-I9300 (I think my Samsung Galaxy S3 is a AOSPA / legacy device).
I upgraded to PA 4.5 beta 4. Seems quite stable for me. Good job guys!
In PA OTA I see only updates for 4.6 but no update for 4.5.
My question now is (for people who have experience with PA on the GT-I9300 and PA 4.6):
Is 4.6 using more resources (since I have a legacy device, I'm concerned about performance) or the general perceived performance would be similar to 4.5?
I want to know if it's better to wait for a final 4.5 release (will there be any, or updates will come only for 4.6?) or try 4.6.
Thank you for letting me know.

I have been using PA since V4 came out on my i9300. Can say that everything up to 4.6 was amazing, but ever since flashing 4.6 beta 4 (coming from 4.5 beta 4) I have nothing but trouble. Total system freeze (low ram probably) 10 ~ 20 seconds after booting, or 5 seconds after starting the first app. Since I haven't done a clean install in a while I'm giving that a try.
If I don't forget I will post the results.
[EDIT]
Also should mention the heating problems that came with 4.6 beta 4 (but that may just be the dirty flash after all).

Thanks for sharing your experiences, I was thinking to upgrade to 4.6 beta 5, but after reading your post I'm a bit afraid...
For now I'm experiencing with 4.5 beta 4 the following problems:
Often when I set a timer, after a few minutes I get an error (dialog with error) that the clock app crashed. But the timer still works... strange. Sometimes the timer then doesn't trigger the alarm in the end.
Also I get a dialog with an error of the ui that crashed. But the system seems working well anyway: no need to restart or so, just the dialog with the error...
See screenshots in attachment...

PA 4.6beta5
I'm currently using PA 4.6beta5 on my i9300 and it's excellent!
No issue, no problem.
Never had low memory problem.
But I've a clean installation (I've wiped all before install)

I have had a LOT of trouble the past few weeks, to the point where flashing a stock rom via odin wouldn't boot and crazy stuff like that. I think it might be hardware related, but after formatting everything and reinstalling it's been working fine now. Only thing is the heating/battery drain problem. It turned out to be google+, so disabling that in apps solved the problem. Running quite smoothly for over two weeks now.

[Q] Most Stable ROM for Note 2 N7100?

I've been trying to figure out what is the best ROM for Note 2 N7100, I have tried a few below but even the stable versions have some issues.
1) Paranoid Android
-4.45 [STABLE] (Screen black out unexpectedly, Exchange Service Issue, System UI failing unexpectedly)
-4.43 [STABLE] (Screen black out unexpectedly)
2) CYANOGENMOD
-11 [SNAPSHOT M11] (Screen black out unexpectedly, Exchange Service Issue, System UI failing unexpectedly)
-Nightly Build (They are nightly so can't complain)
NOTE: CM 11 NIGHTLY (December 3, 2014), that build is very stable as compared to other Nightly builds.
3) SLIMKAT
4.4.4 Build 8.0 [OFFICIAL] (Sync Issue, Apps purchased in Google Play not downloading, Wifi Issue)
4) DN4
I know this is a very new ROM and they haven't released a stable version, but even after flashing the patch, it throws a lot of error.
5) PAC MAN
Nightly Build (August 25, 2014) This ROM I found very amazing, high in performance and awesome battery life. But it has the same issues as CM & PA: Screen black out unexpectedly, Exchange Service Issue, System UI failing unexpectedly.
6) OmniROM
I didn't get a good chance to go through this ROM, but it got stuck at sync as well. So removed it.
One thing very common in all these ROM's is when charging the phone in Power Off mode, the battery Icon is stuck and the phone hangs. Although, the phone is charging, but it won't start through the power button. You'd have to remove the battery and put it in again.
Any suggestions about a very stable ROM for N7100? (No TouchWiz! )
P.S: This is my first post, so please excuse any errors.

Oh, I'm sorry. My bad!

Anybody having "black screen bug" on ws2401 LCD while on ACE2?

Did anyone of you guys have the LCD-wakeup problem with horizontal grey lines? (it fixes itself after couple of attempts to unlock the phone and mostly occurs after probably deepsleep OR if there is cold (?) outside ;]
IT DOES NOT occur on CM10 by dr.harald or ANY stock Samsung firmware (also Gingerbread is NOT affected).
But occurs on any 10.1, 10.2 and 11 by anyone (so far ;/
My Ace2 is using pri_lcd_ws2401 driver

Never happened to me and I used many roms, including CM11 by team canjica now.
However I don't know how to check my driver

You can check this under
/sys/devices (you can browse there using Total Commander or any other file manager capable of browsing the whole filesystem on the rooted phone)
Here you should have either :
PRI_LCD_WS2401.0 (like I have)
or
PRI_LCD_S6D27A1.0
Currently I have installed (for testing as usual before restoring the CM10 from backup) CM11 from Team Canjica with the following kernel by PolishVodka :
http://www.mediafire.com/download/yie7ps4irxz5zbl/KERNEL_KK.zip
(I've found it on the following thread : http://forum.android.com.pl/f696/po-wgraniu-cm11-paski-na-szarym-ekranie-481605/ , however it does concern the S6D27A1 and I'm kind of confused now... as it seems to work (at least it does for one-two hours since I loaded the new kernel well... for sure I WILL BE CONFUSED if it woud work longer than one day without "black screen bug" since I am pretty confident that I have WS2401...
Maybe I do something wrong while checking the driver, etc?
One way or another the device drivers available in the filesystem are in :
/sys/devices/pri_lcd_ws2401.0/subsystem/drivers and I have there
pri_lcd_s6d27a1
and
pri_lcd_ws2401
so... since the ONLY driver entry in /sys/devices
is pri_lcd_ws2401.0
it suggests that I am using the WS2401 one
Anyway... I will post later some more info on this

Ok, it seems to work fine - no issues so far. hail to PolishVodka!!!
P.S. However I thought that the kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-ace/ace-2-develop/kernel-ace2nutzer-kernel-20141027-t2920365 will be working fine, unfortunately for my WS2401 still the "black screen bug" ;/
