got back to stock ROM

I rooted my phone about half a year ago, and now, finally I got back to the stock ROM. You may ask why, so here is why I initially rooted it, and then why I got back to the stock ROM.
My main reason for rooting was the extremly small sized internal storage. Even with the "stock" app2sd it was hell like fast full. Of course customizen played also a role, and I liked the ability to change like everything the way I like, but moving nearly the whole apps was the main reason.
So I finally decided to root my phone. The process was (in opposite of what I thought) really easy, especially with the help of this awesome guide and I chose "MIUI" as the first OS to try out. I really liked it, but I had some occasional crashes which I wasn't able to solve. But that wasn't the reason I got back to the stock ROM. After about 2-3 months with "MIUI" my complete phone got stock in a bootloop. Flashing the zip again wasn't succesfull, so I finally tried an older backup. This worked, but sadly all my SMS data and else got lost.
After some searching I tried out cyanogenMod. I liked it quite well, but I also got the crashes and freezes I got with MIUI, but I was able to live with it. But then, about a week ago, my phone got completly stuck in a bootloop, and instead of throwing it straight ahead into a wall, I flashed back to the stock ROM.
At first I was quite surprised how fluidly it runs, in comparision to cyanogenMod. Then I noticed, that you can't really switch between 3G and 2G data, and was afraid of getting out of energy much sooner. But the opposite happened, the battery lasts much longer than with the other two ROMs, and I hadn't had any crashes or complete freezes till yet. Also, I haven't got the great warning "Battery level 0% or lower (how is this even f*ing possible?), please connect to power source" I got on cyanogenMod, with the addition of my phone shutting down immediately afterwards.
So, long story, short: I really like the ability to root my phone and everything, and I do not regret having done it. It was a great experience, I now I know the "true" capability of android. But after all this trying out, I have to say, that I think I will now stick with the stock ROM, since it's more stable. Probably it was a hardware issue with my device, probably some kind of software bug. Maybe something of both.
just my quick thoughts, and sorry for my bad english, but it's not my native language

To each his own.
I've been using Cyanogenmod more often than any other rom and never experienced bootloops that is caused by the rom itself. It's always something I did with the rom. LOL

Well, that's also a possibility, but since I wasn't able to find the cause of it, I gave up. It was not only the bootloop, but also the quick battery draining and the complete freezes.

I understand where you are coming from... You just want it to work properly.
As for the battery, the default cm7 kernel isn't really that good compared with ManU kernel. That's the first thing I change when I flash.

Now I'm taking my stopwatch to count how long will it take for loons to start Runnymede or ICS recommendations.

Long story short??
Maybe you should publish the unedited version...could be a few volumes in that.
Also, will never go back to stock. I unrooted last year, so I could set up for S-Off, and couldn't wait to get back to a custom ROM. Slow, boring, low storage and boring.
You should use Runnymede, it's the best ROM ever!

Annddd there you have it Erklat.

haha. Funny. And necessarily runnymede

You have luck with the Battery, my phone say 15% or Lower and shutdown, if yours work down to 0%

Well, that was the problem with it...the battery showed 20 percent when it happened...
btw, the stock rom didn't solve that problem either, but at least the crashes are gone...it's still pretty weird, the battery level showed like 20% or more when it suddenly shut down...

Battery life has always been dreadful on the Desire no matter what ROM you use.
Now on the bootloop, Sandvold ICS Beta 0.4.4 ROM seems to be getting on well.
No bootloops whatsoever!
(Some lags and bugs may occure, but nothing you can't handle with a little bit of patience! )

So, how did you resolve the issue with the storage now?
I'm using MIUI too and it runs rock solid for me since months. Next time I will switch, I will switch to a new phone...

Australian OTA Update for OPTUS 128.980.10

128.980.10 is now out on Optus branded handsets. See any difference?
My phone was running great before, but now I am stuck at title screen, and its very difficult to scroll on the menus!
A bit wierd Im sure it will come good.
So I played with it for about 2 mins and it finally cleared up. Running pretty smooth. Some parts are super laggy, but my phone was like that when I first got it. Once I had been around the phone and seen everything the phone behaves super smooth. Its like it needs to see everything one time then its smooth.
Anyways ill report back any noticable differences over the next few days.

Just did the same update and first thing I can notice is that my WiFi has become alot more responsive. Is very quick to react when searching over WiFi and no delays. Apart from that I'm not too sure because it's too early to comment. Will keep all posted

Unfortunately, im getting a wierd error Ihave never seen before, and everything is now reaaaaly unresponsive.
It says "android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly".
What can I do to stop this. sort of annoying cause my phone was actually pretty smooth and had great battery life before hand anyway!

PS My phone is getting worse and worse.. the home keys barely work anymore. i have turned it on and off. I have even done that clear contacts cache under manage sources for contact info. Sometime when I try and wake the phone from sleep with the power lock button, it just stays off, for about 45 seconds. When it comes to, it is almost bricked.. just slow and the menus wont scroll properly.

Ah yes, google search leads me here.

im going to have to start my phone from scratch.. sorry guys I cant recommend this update for Aussie Optus people. maybe its something simple I dont know, but i updated it following the instructions perfectly, and the phone is now screwed. Im going to try and hard reset and reinstall everything on my phone all over again.

You're downloaded update had an error. Are you rooted from HTC dev? If not (judging from your question re hboot) take it back. The update failed and needs to be reflashed. Unfortunately without being rooted this can't be done. Easy enough to gain root but that has other consequences.

Hope this worked but I'm not sure it will. The android core process error is common with flashaholics who have not wiped a phone properly when changing base firmwares. Which is what we have done with the Optus ota. For me it worked fine.

The phone is now bricked guys. No I don't do any of this rooting stuff, I'm just learning the phone as it is from factory. I just got the Optus OTA installed it and now my phone is stuffed.
It's stuck on the 3 android with white background picture. I can't make the menu come up in this white screen. It just says "checking SD card update".
If I go to menu, normal menu with icons and sense 4.0, doesn't like any touch, completely unresponsive and will not accept me doing any functions, including resetting the phone. I can't do hard or soft reset.
Damn Optus update. Even before my phone got that green banding. Now this tops it off.

Two options return and enjoy new one. Or obtain root and flash ruu to return phone to stock software. Pick one and I can walk you through it. Will provide links to show you exact method but without flashing experience you will have questions that I can answer for you. Up to you which path you want to go.

At 100% i press calibrate, but it doesnt work so good...
Gesendet von meinem HTC Desire mit Tapatalk 2

On wich ROM are you?
It really depends on the rom/kernel you use i suppose.
Last month I flashed about 15 roms and always wiped battery stats and calibrated it. Then there are people that say it's because our desire/battery gets old. But i don't believe that.
With Runny Rom for example i could go as low as 1% of battery without a doubt.
I hope that the developers will look into it cause it can be annoying altough MatDrOiD said it right about the way of charging your battery.
BTW thanks MatDrOiD for the link.

I use the mildwild ROM v4.5

What do you believe in then? I hope it's not in wiping batterystats.bin, which gets wiped anyhow when battery charge goes over 90%.

Hehe, no I don't believe in that either. Actualy I have no idea what the problem might be, but when a phone gets older, it would be a process right? Not 17% from one day to another.
And if that was true it wouldn't be possible that my battery stats are back on track after flashing a new rom. It is a weird thing i think...

I´ve the same problem. Sometimes it works till 5% and sometimes it turns of with about 10%.
With the voltage level is everything fine because the Desire of a friend works till 5% with the same stats.
Wipe battery stat didn´t fix it.

That's the point, the solution is there but not all developers are including it in their kernel. Is their a reason for that?
I'm not a dev so it's no solution for me, or am I missing something?

Battery stats RESET at every reboot!!!!!?????

Battery stats RESET at every reboot. Is it just me or is this a JB/Samsung related bug? To me this is NOT normal and it definitely didn't happen in ICS or GB
------------------------------------------------------------------------
:good: Updated Tue, Nov.20.2012
As strange as it may sound, after about 3-4 cycles, the funny issue reported above is gone. Now my SGH-I317M behaves like it's supposed to and so, the battery stats are being kept after reboot. Like all the other Samsung phones I have/had, the battery stats are being reset after the phone has been kept plugged in for a while - which is normal. I took some time to report this just to make sure that it's consistent.

Yeah, I find that annoying too. I wish it kept it's settings. I was hoping to get an accurate look at my daily usage today, but an early reboot is going to destroy that.

Still...I wonder, is this a bug or is it Samsung's/Google's new vision about how battery stats are supposed to be working? If it's a bug they'll probably fix it but if the bug is in someone's head, then we're kind of screwed - from this point onward (JB, KLP, etc)

iirc all stock phones ive had do that. Atrix and the OG note. The note didnt do that once modded tho.

Not quite sure what you mean by "stock phone" but I have the SG2 (SGH-I727R) with ICS 4.0.4, rooted and SG3 (SGH-I747M) with ICS 4.0.4, rooted and DEFINITELY none of them do that. The Note II (SGH-I317M) is certainly my first Android phone to do that - after all, think about it! Is your battery starting a new cycle after every reboot? Plus, the phone might not even get close to a plug. Why reset the stats?

Stock implies just that...STOCK. no root, stock. Dont know what to tell you but both mine did this quirk. Was annoying as hell.

I used "Device Analyzer" in the past to see a weeks worth of battery stats in one view. But it only gives you charge levels, not app usage.
My One X resets if I charge it above ~70%. Every android ROM and phone I have had in the past only reset at a full charge. And I haven't seen one yet that resets at a reboot. Sounds like a bug. Fingers crossed for fixing when they push the side by side app view update.
To make sure, we are talking about this data, right?

[Q] Frequent shut down

I started to suffer from my p-601 after rooting.
Battery charging is taking much longer time about 8 hours from 0 to 100%.
Also I noticed the note is suddenly off, then I have to long press the power button to restart, then it displays strange message "headphone is disconnected"
Then the cycle is repeated frequently, since yesterday it was more than 10 times to notice this frequent death or sudden off. I think it is related to root/nova launcher or motherboard, really I don`t know what is going on.
Can someone help me or advice me what is going on.
Best Regards.

CleanRom is for the P600, yours is P601, that`s not the right rom for your variant.

I'm not brave enough to mess with ROM's, already bricked one device for good, but I can tell you this-Nova Launcher is going bye-bye on both of my 2014's and my Note 8.0. I'm finished with it crashing all the time. Getting rid of that plus freezing Knox and all the other crap stopped the random reboots and crashes. I'm now using KitKat Launcher, and so far it is much more stable. But half the time I'm still almost afraid to use the 2014...

Finally I have re-flashed my p-601 with a stock rom because there is no reliable custom rom for the p-601.
All bizarre performance disappeared. No more sudden shut down. Battery discharge was acceptable.
Someone was recommending decreasing the transition animation to 0.5 so I did it and actually helped a little in performance.
