Phone App really slow to load with Darkside Evolution ROM

Hello,
I have a S2 SGH-T989, and I recently installed the Darkside Evolution ICS Rom. It works beautifully, with a couple of annoyances: the only one that is somewhat intolerable is that the phone and contacts apps are very slow to load.
When I click on the phone on my home screen, it highlights it with a light blue background, but then takes > 5 seconds to pull up the keypad and phone application. Similar behavior happens with the contacts application. Even worse, when I start hitting numbers on the keypad, it doesn't register or display those numbers as I'm dialing them for > 3 seconds. Once it's caught up to my typing, it seems to work fairly well, but this is intolerable, since I can't see what I'm typing, and phone numbers are so short that I usually end up typing the first 3 or 4 numbers, waiting for it to bring up my contact associated with that number, and then selecting one, when the process should take only as much time as it takes me to type the numbers.
I have tried wiping the Dalvik cache, but to no avail. I have not yet tried reinstalling the ROM, as that does tend to be quite a bit of work to set up all of my home screens and such (as well as restoring data from my SD card, etc..), so I'd like to avoid that if possible. However, if it's going to fix this problem, I'll happily do that to avoid the annoyances I'm dealing with at the moment.
I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions on how to fix this issue, or whether others have had this issue and have found something that helps with it.
Thanks!

Try flashing the cache wipe.zip

By the cache wipe.zip, do you mean the super wipe that came with the rom? Or where do I get the wipe.zip from?
Thanks,

Lag/crashing/Sense Home not working

Hello there,
I am posting this thread with a problem. Roughly a year ago I purchased the HTC M9 (after 2 very satisfied years using the M7). Up untill about a week ago everything was working fine for me, the only small issue I've had so far is the lack of memory space. Although this issue was easily solved by simply upgrading my device using a Sandisk SD card.
However, since a couple of days my device started overheating very quickly and lagging. Again, I tried to fix this by rebooting the phone and using CCleaner to clean up some of the junk on the device. Now here comes the actual problem: this morning I was simply using the Youtube app to watch a video when my device suddenly crashed (with 50% battery life). I plugged my phone into a charger and booted up the device again but I get a an error report saying "Sense Home stopped working", which means I'm currently unable to use my device. For some reason the HTC report function is bugged aswell, as I cannot seem to send an error report to HTC.
Can anybody tell me what is going on here and how I could solve this problem? I'm very dependent on my phone because of university and work and would like to fix this as soon as possible and preferably not with a hard reset.
Thanks in advance.

Okay I went ahead and tried out something myself based on the following on a thread on androidcentral com titled ""Unfortunately, HTC Sense has stopped" loop" (I'm not allowed to post links yet)
So I went to Apps and cleared the cache of the Sense Home app (without being in safe mode). My phone started working again, but I lost alot of information as apps like Whatsapp and Google Chrome are completely reset and I lost my contacts. Is there any way I can fix this process?

I cleared my cache but my device is still keeping me in that damned Loop. I don't want to lose my pictures or videos. What else can I do? I have an HTC One M9.

"Boot the phone as per normal, ignore the "Sense Home has stopped" message for now.
Pull down the notification drawer,
Tap on the cog to get into settings (once in settings clicking ok on the "Sense home has stopped" message should make it dissapear so you can see what you are doing),
Go into Apps,
Go into Sense Home,
Tap on storage,
Tap on "Clear Data".
This will delete all the data stored with the Sense Home app, not your photos or messages of contacts or anything like that.
You will have to re-configure your home screen(s) though :-/
Once you've done that you should be good to go.....You may need to reboot."

I have the same problem which started at the same time.
Tried everything, clearing Sense cache, system cache from recovery, installed custom recovery and Revolution HD rom its all the same... Everytime after few minutes or hours same problem occurs! Loop Sense crashing, rebooting, wifi turning on and off by itself...
Please someone help

Hi guys, I had the same problem just two weeks ago. Tried cache clearing, factory reset, yada yada yada. Despite all the error report pop ups I managed to use Google app to get to play store, and updated sense home from there. That did the trick. I lost all my contacts and apps but still the phone works again.

Thanks, great solution, apps and everything still there - I was so worried. For me this problem was a show stopper, do I even consider getting another HTC phone?? Why can't HTC modify Home Sense to disable the alert, once initiated, when the battery is fully charged, then this very annoying, irritating and phone disabling problem would just go away?

* solved * keyboard just disappears

so, when replying to a text with the standard messaging app, when you hit the text box to bring the keyboard up, it opens then immediately goes away without an error message of any sort. I can compose a new message and the keyboard stays there and operates normally, which just makes it weirder. Anyone else have this issue? Ive wiped the messaging app cache and changed keyboards from the google keyboard and back again to no avail.
nvm, contacted Oneplus Chat and they advised to wipe cache and data in recovery. That felt a bit extreme, so i wiped cache only and its fine now. Just really odd that it did that in the first place

Mobile data stopped working

Like the title says. I've been using the same rom for over a month without issues. Last night it froze. I had to force a reboot but it went to stock recovery (I have TWRP). I wasn't using any new apps nor did I attempt to change any settings.
From there I booted up and I could no longer connect to mobile data. When I toggle it on it just turns itself off. That's not the only thing I noticed. I can't swipe quick settings open all the way open. To do that I must use the finger print and swipe down, then I can see the full QS tiles.
I can make calls and text but it won't connect to mobile data.
Anyone experience anything like this?
I've never needed to configure an APN or anything like that the whole time I've had the phone (about a year). It's always worked automatically with no setup necessary.
I'd really appreciate some help of anyone can assist. Thanks
**Things I've tried so far;
- wipe caches & reboot
- removing sim
- switching sim slot

Question Pixel 6 Pro won't stop playing notification tone during calls

My Pixel 6 Pro has a similar problem ever since the Mar 5 update has been installed. Since then, every phone call I made comes with the non-stop notification tone literally every second. For now, I managed to get around it by enabling the "DND Mode", but it isn't a long-term solution.
Is there a way I can re-apply the same update? or flashing a new one would help?

To be clear, you're saying that you keep getting the notification tone even after answering the call? If so, is it the same as your ringtone?
Is your bootloader unlockable? If so, Official Google Android Flash Tool (OEM Unlocking needs to be toggled on - you may not have to manually unlock the bootloader - the "site" will do that on its own).
It wouldn't surprise me if that doesn't fix the issue, however. Have you tried rebooting? Maybe clear the cache and app data for the Phone app (but then you'd have to re-customize the settings for the phone app to your preferences).
I'm not on the March update, but I also don't receive many phone calls anyway.

that notification tone, during normal time, represents incoming message. It is very short, unlike a ringtone..
Tried rebooting and clearing cache and app data of the Phone app. In fact, that notification could likely come from anything like WhatsApp, Messenger, Twitter...
I noticed that the repeating tones would not happen if the phone is on silent mode. So for now this is my workaround.

Very interesting, and strange. There have been settings in some OEM's phone apps you could enable to get notification tones at regular paces - usually once a minute - while on a phone call, but the issue on yours is only similar since it's constant / every second.
I stick with my recommendation of clearing the app cache and data for the Phone app. I also assume you're using the stock Phone app that Google provides.

In my previous phone (OnePlus 6T), the very same tone happens once in a while, but only at the moment an incoming message arrives. Pretty sure I am not getting a new message every second this time around, and I think it was triggered by apps other than the Phone app. I just noticed that the same symptom showed up when I tried to play video clips from certain apps as well.
And yes, I am using the stock Phone app.

Sounds like a factory reset and only selectively installing and configuring apps, or trying to figure out which app is causing the issue.
If you factory reset, I would first not even restore any apps at all, so you can verify if you have the same problem without any third-party apps installed at first. I would suspect you won't have issues then. And then when you install apps, do it in groups of your most important ones first, maybe at the most 10 at a time, then re-verify each time if you have the same issue or not, then the next batch of app installs. It could be a particular setting in a app as well, so it's possibly merely installing an app might not be enough, so each group of apps you install, make sure and configure them as well.
If you don't factory reset, go the opposite way, uninstall your least important third-party apps and see if the issue disappears. Keep track of which apps you're uninstalling in each group. Keep doing this in reasonably sized groups of apps until you narrow down when the problem stops happening.
Once you find which group of apps being uninstalled keeps the issue from happening, you can reinstall in even smaller batches, among the ones you most recently uninstalled, and eventually find the one causing the issue. In some ways I think it's easier to go the other way around, though, start with a factory reset.

Found the culprit!
Kind of silly: I have installed this app "Internet Speed Meter Lite" when I first started using my P6P, which is for me to monitor my real-time network usage (courtesy of that endless WhatsApp - Google Drive restoring process....). It basically refreshes itself every second and this morning I tried temporarily disabling it, the problem goes away even when the phone is not set to silent mode.
Glad I didn't have to come to the point of factory resetting the device, as I really don't want to go through the WhatsApp restoring process.
Thanks for all the input, much appreciated.
