[Q] CM 10.1 update 7 review. - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Hello,
I have been watching and since reading u on this section of the XDA Forums since the start of december 2012 when i got my Xperia S. Excellent phone but after a while the stock ICS did start to annoy me with it's frequent hang ups and it's inability to open up simple programs at times.
So i decided to flash a kernal after updating to .45 ICS stock, specifically the Sspeed V8 kernal. Again it was good and even up until yesterday before i flashed the CM 10.1 it was doing it's job.
I decided to go one step further and i unlocked the bootloader and i firstly installed CWM 6.x.x.x, then backed up my data, wiped cache partition, wiped the dalvik cache then i wiped the phone data, Then i flashed the CM 10.1.zip it installed successfully. It loaded up with out any glitches or hitches.
I then flashed the Gapps.zip V.xxxx2012 for 10.1/4.2.2 it to flashed successfully.
I have been so far impressed how smooth and lag free it is and such a big difference,
i have encountred 3 bugs, mostly the "(insert app name) unexpectedly closed" bug, in this order.
Camera - when turning on the HDR feature of the camera and then trying to take a picture it crashes with the above bug error msg. the first time this happened i tried to open the app again but it would not open and repeatedly the above error kept on appearing. I rebooted the phone and the app starts up with out any problems, BUT again when turning on the HDR feature it will crash again to home screen but i can be started again and used, just with out the HDR feature turned on, the rest of it works fine (i dont use the HDR feature anyways.
Messages - this crashed with the same bug above after some mid-light usage after about 12 hours or so, i simply rebooted the phone and it solved it.
so far no other bugs have been encountered and it is still running smooth.
i wanted to to ask this is a known issue the bugs above?
also my second question is, will a multi-tasking window mod be available or possible for the CM 10.1 like on the samsung phones?
thanks i will try and update this thread with new bugs and fixes.

[Q] MIUI rooted Desire randomly restarts

So, I have HTC Desire with rooted MIUI rom for a while.
HTC Desire, GSM, MIUI 2.1.6
It was okay until 5th January. I have about 25 installed apps and anything was fine. Few days ago I noticed strange "Force stop" in apps like Twitter, Foursquare, Internet Browser.
Then the same started to happen with random restarts of the phone. The phone simply started, then restarted and entered into bootscreen loop, so I ejected battery and inserted and so on. Clearing Dalvik Cache doesn't help.
Also when I try to enter Wi-Fi settings it freezes and gives out "Force close application?" That's just ridiculous!
I have lately updated from previous MIUI version 2.1.4 because that problem started there, but with no changes.
Can you please help here?
i have always faced similar issues with MIUI , my phone doesnt like it
so i have simply stopped using it
edit: if you still want to use MIUI id suggest you stick with a stable version for a while rather than weekly updates
Well, it really might be like that. Seems like I fixed those issues by doing a full phone wipe and fresh flash. Which release can you suggest me?
Wich releases did you try before ?

I have MIUI on mine and flash each update. The biggest issue I have is that it tries to update and always fails with an E:\SDCard error in recovery. I just download and then flash the full rom (no wipes) and it works a treat. The one issue I have with 2.16 is that SMS messages disappear below my 'Better Keyboard' where they didn't in the version prior. I've switched to Android keyboard now but have yet to see if the issue persists. That said, it is by far the most stable ROM I've ever used and I'm running 40+ apps on it with zero problems.

As far as it is, it looks fine. No big problems at all. The only issue is that I backed up 5000+ messages back to phone, I like to store them there. Sometimes seems like it is a little hard for android to hold so many sms's.

Constant Rebooting

Everything has been fine until yesterday morning, when at work I realised my phone was rebooting every 3 or 4 minutes.
I hadn't changed anything, I hadn't flashed anything, I don't O/C my phone. I'm usins AOKP Milestone 3 with Immoysen Kernel.
I've tried -
Reflashing AOKP with no custom kernel
Wipe & flashing CM9 Kang
Wipe & flashing MCR
When I tried to make a Nandroid of MCR (as it seemed to be okay for an hour or so) it gave an error when it got to backing up the data partition. Could their be a corrupt bit of memory there?
Also, at one point I think it might have reset while in recovery, which makes me think it's hardware, not software.
Today I've tried -
locking and unlocking the bootloader
Android_Revolution_HD_Super_Wipe_Lite
Wipe and flash AOKP B23
Generally it seems to be better after a wipe and a fresh install, for a little while, but then seems to start rebooting again later.
I locked and unlocked again around an hour and a half ago and all seems good at the moment, but I thought I'd post still to see if anyone else has had this happen or see if anyone has ideas of how to de-bug it should it come back?
I had this problem after upgraded to 4.0.2. Fresh install did solved this somehow but last week it came back again when dial starts...
Tho it seems un-checked all options in location services would not reboot during or after the call
Hope this info could help u
Thanks. Well, 6 hours since I locked the bootloader and unlocked it again (to wipe everything, including the SD storage) and it's not rebooted once. Looks like it's fixed *touch wood*
I have random turn offs... dunno if it relates. Its a little unnerving...and annoying. No roots, no unlocks, just vanilla 4.0.2.

[Q] LiteROM 0.8.4 issues

Hi there, since I'm not obligated to post replays under development thread here's the place to do it.
I just installed newest version of LiteROM (used 0.7 previously) and I found some unpleasant behaviors.
First of all - I couldn't get wifi connection to work. Password was ok but it continuously tried to authenticate or get proper ip. Re-flashing with stock rooted rom, then gettin literom over it worked like a charm.
But, after installing newest LiteRom I'm getting message every time I reboot device: ... android.process.acore has stopped working.
Also, when trying to set lockscreen wallpaper it gets me a message: ... TwWallpaperChooser has stopped.
So, is there any proper fix to get things right or maybe I'm doing it wrong?
(I did full wipe before all installations but it does not resolve issues)
First, you might try downloading the ROM again(preferably from a pc) to see if maybe the download was bad.

Already did. Then reflash with FULL wipe - nothing. As long as sim card isn't on, there's no issue with .acore (it happens even when switching airplane mode on/off). I also tried to wipe contact and contact manager data but with no good solution.
Another thing is - I've tried IcePop rom and it worked fine. IMHO, there's something in literom that causes such bad behavior.
I would be grateful for helping me resolve that :good:
Hmmmm. The only problem when i flashed literom is if i didnt install the stock gallery then it seemed to crash the lockscreen wallpaper when trying to choose a wallpaper from settings and did not give me and option in quickpic.

HTC Desire Z freezes all the way

Hey guys,
I talk for my girlfriend, because I mod her phone. She got a Desire Z. We rooted it, installed cwm (phone bought brand new and s-off) and flashed lots of firmwares. We stucked at the mildwild rom (gingerbread) and it worked perfectly. After a few months she decided to switch the rom and we had everything, from jelly bean to kitkat and we decided for the coolos gingerbread miui. The phone started getting slower and it had many force closes and I wasn't able to modify the launcher as she wanted (I wasn't able to fix all issues for landscape, if anybody knows a solution, please tell me) and we got back to the mildwild. But the random freezes didn't stop. We've got the following issues:
- if she installs a specific office app, the phone stucks in a bootloop
- phone randomly freezes
- issues are the same, even if we change to another custom rom
what we did:
flashed several roms and wiped dalvik cache
what we not did:
we didn't took a look into the logcat and we didn't try to flash a stock rom again.
edit: actually we record with CatLog the logcat.

logcat recording finished. Because of a missing pc, we recorded it with an app and I splitted it to 2 files.
I see nothing special, just some crashes in go launcher and miui lock screen...
We've got a new log (smaller one)
At the time of 16:05, the screen stopped reponding. If you turn on the screen, you can unlock it and do everything you want, if you got in the launcher, everything stops. You can change with the home button to another app, but you can't do anything in the app. It rotates without problems and you can make whatever you want in the lockscreen, but somewhere else nothing happens if you touch on the screen.
Also we've changed the Launcher from GO Launcher to Acelauncher.
Lockscreen: Miui Locker
CM version: 7.1 vision
Kernel version: 2.6.35.14-cyanogenmod-g8090e84-dirty [email protected] #22
Rom: MildWild CM7.2
time of issue: 16:05

[Q] S4 mini rebooting very often!

Hi all!
First of all thanks for your work..it's awesome!!thanks to you i enjoyed my s plus until some days ago it has broken..very sad day
However i decided to move on with a more modern cel, so i decided for a s4 mini.
But since the beginning i've had lot of problems..
My phone after an original update from samsung started to freeze and reboot..more and more often..i read it could be an issue with original update so i decided to mod my phone since i've had great improvements with my old s plus..
first i installed cm11 but the phone keep rebooting and rebooting ..so i installed cm12 with android l..but the problem is still here!!
the more my phone became hot the more it reboot..it's unusable and i don't know what to do..i'm also begin to doubt it's a hw problem
my warranty is gone with all this mods..so what to do? any others has this kind of problem?
thanks if yo want to answer
People encountering this should perform a factory reset and wipe everything from the phone.
Then, perform a clean install of whichever rom you wish to use, without any additional apps.
I recently encountered an issue with Apex Launcher and a recent update. Android keep crashing and soft rebooting often.. only after a few days did I realise the launcher was the issue. Since I uninstalled the app the phone hasnt restarted once!
Mine restarts after i turn on Mobile Data + GPS for navigation..
It works for a minute and restarts.
I don't know where the problem is either. I tried to flash cm10, 11.. stock 4.2 / 4.4 and nothing seems to get me rid of the problem
