Hi my wife has a One V with stock everything. It keeps freezing up and takes up to 1 minute just to open a new text message.
The phone has never been rooted or modified in any way.
I tried rebooting it, doesn't change anything. She does not have many apps installed at all from the market, maybe 1 or 2.
The way I fixed it last time was back up all of her sms and call log and setting and I did a factory reset.
This solved the problem but the phone was slowing getting worse and worse and now it is almost impossible to use it.
Is this a know issue? Is there an easy fix for it? Or maybe the only option is to root and install a custom rom for her.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
I do indeed give you the advice to install a custom rom. This is a known issue with the stock rom.

Great I had a feeling it was ROM related. Since I have no experience with One V, can anyone suggest a good how to guide to unlocking boot loader, and rooting, and installing CWMR on this phone. Every device is different so it is like leaning all over again for each phone.
oh yeah any rom suggestions? Not sure if I should give her a stock based sense rom or AOSP / CM. Personally I love AOSP Jelly Bean 4.2 on my S2 because I hate Samsung bloat on my phone.
thanks alot.
Personally I would recommend 4.1 or 4.2 depends if she needs the functions that are still missing from 4.2 (biggest one being camera I think) if she wants sense I recommend suprimo. As for a guide, there are some as a sticky in one of the sub forums (I think their in general)
Sent from my HTC One V using xda premium
I suggest you look for provision or pacman 19.3 in cdma (from what I can assume your CDMA) they have 5mp camera which is what the stock camera has. Note: the difference for flashing between a Samsung s2 and our device is we have to take the boot.img from the ROM.zip we DL and flash it in fast boot (thing before you enter recovery) after we flash the .zip in recovery
I recommend twrp recovery also because i find it easier to navigate
ONE MORE THING:
Power + down vol to get to fast boot and tell us what radio you have.
IF it ends in .0928 your going to get boot loops if you flash a JB ROM simple fix I'll tell you if it does because it is a complex process.
However if our radio ends in anything else you should be fine (htc had an ota that upgraded radio and it fked things up).

I've never been very tech-y with this stuff, and now I'm having problems with mine. I don't understand the ROMs or anything. I don't want to void the warranty or anything.
Well assuming the rules here. You can't install a rom here. Because for that you have to unlock the bootloader and doing that voids the warranty.

Hey guys, I am rooted and running Virtuous rom and I just wanted to know IF I ever wanted to go back to the stock G2 rom what would I have to do that? Thanks
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
two options:
1. If you were smart, you made a nandroid of your stock ROM the minute you confirmed the root procedure worked. If you did, simply use ROM Manager or boot into recovery, wipe everything, and restore that nandroid.
If you didn't....
2. Download one of the many stock ROMs in the development subforum, and flash that through ROM manager or recovery. Remember to wipe anytime you switch between ROMs (especially Sense-to-stock, or vice versa).
Is there any stock roms on rom manager that I can just do from there?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Nope, just Cyanogen and Virtuous. Just find a stock ROM that you want to use, download the .zip file, and put that on your memory card (don't unzip it, just drop the whole .zip file as-is). Then, in ROM Manager, choose 'Install Zip from SDcard' and navigate to wherever you put that zip file. ROM Manager will give you the option to wipe and to perform a backup of your current ROM before it flashes the new one - choose both options and let it run. super easy.
Alright thanks man

So it's not a stock ROM then ? If someone is looking for a stock ROM, then flashing a custom ROM isn't going to be what they need, surely ? Because they may well not want root either. Often folks ask for a stock ROM because they are doing a warranty return or similar. Or just want to go back completely to how it came from the factory.
That ROM that you linked has also got a modified RAM disk, and is zip-aligned. So it has several changes from a stock ROM.
If you're doing warranty work, that's close enough to stock. I don't thing you can 'unroot' your phone and go back to *totally* stock.

That's funny I never saw where he asked for a complete stock, unrooted rom for warranty purposes, guess you should give him the right link then since you seem to know what he REALLY wants. and from his second post by asking if he could find a stock rom on rom manager I would think since rom manager requires root to work, he might be looking for a stock rooted rom.
If you want to correct people please give the right awnser then, in this case give him what he's really looking for, as far as the link I provided it seems the only person not happy with the awnser is someone who didn't even ask the question, so keep up the good job "awnser police".
Just curious how much time did you spend researching that I am wrong instead of giving the OP what YOU THINK is the right link??? Time well spent.
But I guess it seems to happen, instead of awnsers we get posts trying to prove who's MORE right.
Well no hard feelings on my end, hope you have a great day, and happy posting.

Good to know, though I can't imagine I'd ever want to go back to unrooted, lol.
Hjau, and thanks for reading.
I've been using the HOS from day 1 and have now decided to jump into the HOX camp. I would like to know what's the biggest differences concerning ROM's, flashing, and so forth, if there is any, since I'm a noob with Android.
A couple of questions...
1. I've got the Finnish version of HOX - is it suitable for all ROMs or just some of them? Can I flash CM10 Alpha 7 by tbalden?
2. Is the whole flashing process same with the HOS after unlocking the bootloader; custom recovery (CWM), wipe, flash, fastboot boot.img and boot?
3. Is there anything else to know in terms of tricks and tips for the HOS; not seeking for battery savin' or the likes of that, just device-specific stuff that is important for custom ROMs and playing around with your device.
4. Before flashing any ROM, should I update the stock phone to the latest version of radio, Android and Sense? Meaning all the automatic HTC updater offers.
Like I said, I'm a noob. That's why I'm asking. Don't want to brick the phone with the first flash. There are so many threads and posts and ROMs compared to the HOS scene that I want to be sure.
Thank you very much!!!

1. if ur HOX is tegra 3 based then yes u can flash it
2. yes the process is same as we still don't have S-Off
3. u can flash some custom kernels for better performance and battery
4. no need of it, you can directly flash any custom ROM, just make sure to make a nandroid backup before flashing
Well HOX has very good developer community and we are so lucky to have such good developers who have been working hard to make our experience better with our HOX
Here u will get a great dev support and u will be happy that u made a switch to HOX
Thanks a lot.
But why shouldn't I install all the updates since afaik radio cannot be updated via custom ROM?

Hey guys, gotta make this quick. As of lately, I unlocked my bootloader with the intentions of installing a different ROM. I've tried nearly every ROM (including the stock de/odexed ones) and nothing will stay on. With every flash I have done a FULL wipe and flashed correct boot.imgs, but still nothing more than being rebooted a minute after the ROM starts up. I need this phone to run again because I can't stand the loaner I have.

He asked because the OTA update will cause exactly what you describe.
I would revert back to pre-OTA by running the RUU and then relock/reroot/rerom from there.

What he said. The OTA update will cause Custom roms and kernels not to boot. So the RUU will fix the problem.

Where would I find an Ubuntu-friendly RUU? My Win7 partition decided to s#!t the bed so I'm stuck running on Ubuntu 12.10 until I can get an external HDD to back up all of my Windows files. Thanks.
EDIT: If there is no "Ubuntu-friendly" version, does it atleast play nicely with Wine? This has become a pain in the tush and honestly, I'd just love to get this over with so I can have a functioning phone again. Not to mention get some of that JellyBean goodness.
EDIT #2: Nevermind! I figured it out and now it's all good in the hood.
Hello,
I'm getting this device next week and I'll be unlocking the bootloader straight away but the amount of instructions for flashing ROMs is baffling me. In the past It's been a process of install custom recovery then flashing a ROM (full wipe) reboot and job done but there's plenty more steps for this device so can anyone break it down for me because I'm pretty confused especially when it comes to rebooting into another menu to flash a boot.img or something.
Also, I'm thinking of sticking on a Stock Sense (but with bloatware removed and rooted) just to test Sense out before I move back to my comfort zone of CM9/CM10 so how would I go about this? Is there any bloatware free pre-rooted fully working stock Sense roms available?
Finally, there's a load of information about kernels which I'm new to due to never having to worry about flashing them in the past. I'd be happy with sticking to one single kernel (So I don't have to mess about with them every time I flash a new ROM- if that's possible?) so which one is the best for general daily usage, and has over-clocking enabled.
Thanks.
There are not additional steps to flash for this device.in fact it is easy. When I was new here at XDA I also was too confused. Flashing a kernel seemed impossible to me.
But I began to read the internet and the forums extensively and slowly learned.
Try ckpv5's my sense v rc2.0 very smooth pre-rooted rom.u can always uninstall the bloatware using Titanium Backup.
Unfortunately as our device is s-on u will have to flash the kernels every time u change a rom unless both of them need the same kernel.
The provision rom feels great for everyday use.use the latest Hellboy kernel that can be OCd plus added KSM support.

Thanks for the replies.
I was also wondering if I'm right in thinking this is the right order (For rooting my device via the Toolkit);
Unlock Bootloader
Flash Recovery
Do a Nandroid just in-case anything buggers up in the future.
Flash a Sense-based Kernel (So I can overclock etc otherwise I could completely skip this step I guess)
Click the 'PermRoot' extra in Toolkit.
Job done.
Does that sound about right? I think I'll just stick with Stock Sense for the first few weeks or so and if I get sick of it I'll move to a custom. I'd be happy with a Rooted stock device though just to get rid of the bloatware and have access to Adaway & Titanium Backup.
Thank you.
Yes that order sounds right but if you dont want custom right now and want to remain stock,no need to flash any kernel!just remove the kernel step from the order

But I'd need to flash a new kernel in order to over clock (unless the stock kernel is overclockable) or is the devices performance and battery fine with stock levels/governor?

Stock kernel is not OCable.tell u what,since u want to remain on stock now,root it and remain on stock for now.then after u get comfy after rooting it and get settled,flash a JB rom and a custom kernel.stock is always laggy.
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
One does not simply root his HOV and remains on stock!!!
HE WANTS TO STAY ON STOCK FOR THE FIRST FEW WEEKS!
Secondly, i am saying that since he is a bit confused about the toolkit and kernels and all,he should flash kernels later.thats a bit advanced.he will root it and then may learn a bit more and then experiment with kernels and stuff.
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
I'm not a complete noob when it comes to flashing ROMs etc seeing as though I've tinkered around with my last 2 devices. Its just the process seems a bit of a pain (The order and rebooting into different menus to flash kernels etc) so I'd rather read into it and get comfortable with the process. So I'd like to just root it so I can uninstall any bloatware and third party apps I can reinstall from the Play Store, I'd also like to add Adblock (A big reason I root my phones). I'll be flashing a ROM as soon as I find a fully working (100%) ROM (any recommendations and a simple step by step guide to install would be amazing too)

I Highly suggest you don't flash anything until you read up on the forums and figure everything out. Read up on kernels, roms, gapps, bootloader, recovery etc. Then when you get that stuff down read about the roms you want to flash. If you flash am incorrect file you can hard brick your phone.

I was looking at that, so I wipe everything in twrp, and flash it like normal, but I'll lose root? Download the chainfire zip and install it in twrp as well to get root again?
Quick question, if I ever wanted to send my phone into get serviced, I can completely wipe my phone back to stock by flashing that back on the phone using Odin, correct? That would do the root as well, so when I sent it in, they would be none the wiser?

Will there be completely stable versions of the Google edition s4 released sometime in the future? I'm just seeing way to many different versions of the same thing where some things aren't working properly, and it doesn't seem to be as simple as just flashing the rom. All sorts of other stuff needs to be done like changing build.prop and whatnot. I just want to be able to flash the rom and be done with it... Is that possible right now? Or no. I guess I'm not as familiar with all the terminology as I thought. I still don't know what a kernel really is, I flashed one once and it just made my cwm recovery menu different... And I know I needed a specific kernel to flash specific ROMS.. Is that the case here with these Google edition roms?
