Is anyone else facing this issue? I am using Modaco Fear FR17 ROM...
When i go into the gallery, select an image and do pinch to zoom, the images appear cropped randomly....wat seems to be the issue? is there a way to get this fixed??
this is caused by the 64mb ram hack. should have been fixed in MoDaCo FR17 Fear Edition 10 19/5-11.
also this was discussed in several topics and since it is a rom related problem, you should post it in the right topic.
your solution would be to use QuickPic oder 3D Gallery+(which is a little bit slower then the normal 3D Gallery) or to change to the higher version.
Or even better still, is to get a kernal WITHOUT the 64mb hack, as this causes no end of weird problems, Like the one mentioned buy the op, and the random black squares in the gallery, or the missing textures in a fair few games, or the messed up camera/video camera functions.

thanks....can you please guide me to one such kernel???
This is Pauls MoDaCo FR17 Kernal http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A84U5FSW
Or this os Mondego that I use http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G012R8FQ , It has a few niggles, like the vibrate not working, and very strang battery readings BUT the battery does last a fair bit longer on this kernal than others. I get at least 2 days and 2 nights on normal use.
Or there's one of cpasjuste's Kernals http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020730

Hi all,
With CM7 i'm enjoying my Milestone like never before. But since it's my first custom ROM, i have some questions though.
1. When returning to the home screen, 9 out of 10 times it reloads and rebuilds completely. How can i avoid this?
2. If it's a memory issue and i want to keep it in memory, how can i accomplish this without the risk of losing other essential apps from memory, like SMS and phone?
3. I read something about priorities for apps, how does this work?
4. Sometimes my device reboots randomly. My CPU is set to 900. Can this be the cause? If so, what's the best CPU speed setting?
So far for now, but i guess i'll be back with some more ;-)
Thanks in advance,

I'm no expert so someone please correct me if i'm wrong and sorry for all spelling errors.
What version of CM7 are you running? If u'r running RC3 0.08-11.03.16 that homescreen Redraw (problem number 1) should be minor, something like 1 out of 10 times, atleast on my milestone. There is "Keep home in memory" setting in Cyanogenmod settings -> Performance, make sure it's enabled and for the problem number 2 enable "Keep SMS in memory". You shouldn't care much about app priorities cause CM7 memory management is taking care of that pretty well. Random reboot are DSI errors, they are minor in the newest CM7 version but there is no failsafe way to avoid them, if you don't want to chance the kernel, you can read about that in CM7 for milestone thread.
Thanks, i just can't find the "keep SMS in memory" option?
Then you probably won't have the newest version of CM7. You can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941346 and flash it just like u flashed it at the first time. Just wipe cache and dalvik cache from open recovery and you will get to keep all your personal settings and files/apps.
That's the one i have and i already found it. But thanks again!

A few answers of my own:
1) The CPU speed is probably NOT the cause of your reboots, but if you want to be sure, try it for a week. 700 is safer, 550 is default.
2) If it is your CPU overclocking, you may be able to fix it by upping the voltage on your overclock. This will lead to a bit more heat and a bit more battery drain, but should fix the reboots if CPU related
3) I would look at the SUPERCHARGE your Milestone thread about memory management settings. Although Zepps's settings and scripts are meant for tweakers and are probably a tad aggressive if you don't know what you are doing, they did speed up my phone by 200%.
I would recommend installing AutoMemoryManager and using the mild settings if you want to do something less aggressive than the Supercharge scripts...
You will get some of the benefits of the supercharge and a very low risk of apps getting killed by the memory manager.
My 2 cents!
thanks caz.
I'm pretty sure the new minfree settings that I've been testing out are the best of both worlds... superfast and background friendly.
I hadnt had a chance to update the thread yet and post the new script.
But for those interested, this should really work great... 6, 8, 24, 26, 28, 30.
Thanks all, i'll look into those things. By reading that is, because i've got a lot to learn!
Hi all,
I'm still experimenting and impressed by this ROM. Just now I performed a fix permissions to prevent apps from fc. That modified the read & write permissions of all apps. I assumed it couldn't hurt to try, but now I'm wondering what it did exactly. There aren't any noticable changes. Can anyone fill me in?
Thanks,
Gerard
Do you think that is better than FroyoMod??

I'm not sure what you mean, but this is my first custom ROM coming from stock Eclair on my first Android device.
So I have no idea which is the best, but I do know that I'm very impressed by CM7. It runs perfectly on my Milestone, so I feel no need whatsoever to try another.
Yup, for sure

My 2 bigs problem with froyomod are the camera that often FC and freeze and the video that are stuttering so much..

I can only speak for myself, but I haven't had one single problem so far. Shooting pictures and videos works fluently on my device. I am also not aware of any possible known problems, but maybe others can confirm this.
ADW Launcher in CM7 RC4.1
Started new thread for a specific question, but i can't delete this post.
Hi all,
This is my first post in these forums but I've been lurking for some time. I just want to bring attention to a few minor issues I'm having with CM7.
1) Sometimes randomly, the main dock disappears and only comes back after a reboot. Anyone else experience this?
2) On the stock HTC Sense, all running apps, or recently run apps, would show up when I brought down the notification bar. For instance, if I was playing Angry Birds and decided I wanted to send a text, I could press Home, write the text, then quickly drag down the top bar and click Angry Birds, which would be sitting next to the Text icon ready to go. On CM7, the apps in use do not appear there (only Lookout security shows up under "ongoing"), so I have to go back into the drawer or choose the icon from the home screen. I found that having all running/recently running apps was very convenient to have on the drop-down bar.
3) When I first started using the camera it was okay, and then at some point every picture I started taking with the stock CM7 camera becomes extremely grainy. When I take a picture with other apps this does not happen, so I know it is not the hardware, but the actual app causing the problem.
4) Camera app menu is oriented only for landscape. Any possibility of changing this? Also [side note], the stock Incredible S camera used the entire screen for the picture which I really enjoyed - I haven't been able to find an app that does this on CM7
5) Contrary to what I've read, I find the audio is actually less powerful than the stock HTC Sense for Inc. S. Anyone agree?
6) On the mail app (not Gmail), there is no way to add mail to spam
These are all extremely minor issues. Overall CM7 is great, quick and lightweight. Kudos to all the developers on this, I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say your work is beyond appreciated. You take the possibilities to enjoy these devices to the next level.
Hi key2gb, here's my experience with your above points:
1- This happened to me, but only once and it was fixed with a reboot. Although I thought it was because of ADWLauncher at first..
2- I hadn't realized this as I didn't get to play enough with Sense before moving on to CM7, but now that you mention it it does sound like a cool feature!
3- I have taken a few pictures with the CM7 camera and I haven't seen too much grain in the images. Maybe it depends on lighting and if the camera changes ISO's (I don't know if a phone camera can do this).
4- I am running CM7 Nightly#68 and the camera icons rotate when I place the phone in portrait "stance". Although I did overall prefer the Sense camera and have yet to find one in the market that comes close to it.
5- When you talk of audio, do you mean the front speaker, back speaker or headphone jack? I haven't used headphones with it yet, but as for the two speakers I have found the volume adequate for my needs as of now.
6- I only use Gmail
I have found that Nightly#68 "fixed" or added a lot of features from RC1 and since my switch to the Nightly build I feel that the phone is near perfection.
Thanks for the response. I am hesitant to switch to the Nightly build because I am not experienced enough with the tech-world yet, though I am getting more into it. It warns against non-experienced people using those so I don't mind waiting a few months for updates and more confirmation that the Nightly is completely stable. Then again, that's what backups are for, right?
For audio - I use my speaker phone for conference calls often and the speaker isn't nearly as loud as it was on the stock.
For the camera - it's a very strange problem on my phone because it only happens with the stock camera. You know how when you take a picture, as it's done processing the picture kind of sets into itself? Right after I take the picture, it sets and then it gets this weird staticy-grainy layer. It doesn't happen on other camera apps, just the stock. I use Streamzoo and that works fine. I really with I could get the Sense camera though it was really great.
I'm sorry I won't be able to furthur aid you as my knowledge in the field is limited. Hoping someone else comes along!
Although I was wary at first as well in trying the nightly builds. I gave it a try on #68 and it has been very stable (no problems at all).
For the audio, I just got an idea. Have you tried playing in the DSP Manager options? I don't know if there might be something there that might help a bit?
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium
Good idea, I'll play around with the DSP Manager next time I'm on speaker.
I've run a search and can't find a concrete IncS specific (or otherwise Sense related) answer.
I went about installing Cyanogenmod 7 on my Incredible S and it worked wonderfully save for the camera application. The refresh rate on the preview was horribly low and there was significant lag compared to while on Sense.
I'm aware that the Sense apk cannot be used on non-Sense ROMs. I'm curious to know what other IncS owners running Cyanogenmod 7 do in regard to camera functionality. I've since hopped back over to Virtuous but would like to use Cyanogenmod again if I could sort out the camera issue.
Thanks guys.
There is a miui camera that significantly improves the camera functionality.
I posted it in general, in the cm7.thread in here

I've been trying to fix this for a while and have found no solution. MIUI camera, FX camera, and Tiny Photo are are a few options (but I agree about MIUI - doesn't fix anything).
Question - do you find when you're taking a picture from a different app it works ok? When I use the camera app I get the noise, but if I use WhatsApp for instance take a picture and attach is, I find there's no noise.
I don't think the stock cyanogenmod camera is setting the iso properly, I've tried it on auto, and on every other setting, but the resulting photos all seem to come out the same, with lots of noise.

It works better in certain situations for some reason. Sometimes lots of grain, sometimes none. But my main point is - it doesn't compare to Sense in any way, from quality to UI and back..a lot of room for improvement
This problem had been discussed over and over again. The only way to fix it is to find someone with knowledge in programming and digital camera programming to decipher the code in the sense version of the camera software.
Well I just got back from my international holiday trip and not totally impressed
The phone worked fine with the international sim card, hate that I can't see what's downloading in the background (google sync, android stuff), because my credit was running out fast and all I used was facebook which was free on the carrier. (social networking)
Also, camera took quite good photos but not as good as the sense. I love how it did widescreen photos rather than just a box size. Also I found my battery died a lot when I wanted to use it.. sitting by the pool and surfing facebook for 1h would use about half the battery. and can't put tiamat on my phone either.
so right now my phone is just sitting in my drawer, because my family member gave me their old iphone and find it more reliable for the time being
I just can't get used to android after having it for over a month, must just be me. I'm not giving up though. Maybe next step is to try another ROM.
Why didn't you turn off data and auto sync?
You seem like the iPhone type lol

An hour of constant internet for me uses 15 percent battery approximately. (screen on the entire time)

I suppose that rules out Cyanogenmod for us lest we cripple the camera function?

Well, I had an international sim with internet so no reason to turn off data, and would prefer auto sync the same as back home. everything was off except facebook updates.
Also on cyanogenmod, camera is good and clear but doesn't go in widescreen like stock ROM does (I really want to go back to stock but i cant ) and no photo editing effects built in on cyanogenmod. hmm.

My miui camera went nuts today. I can only see the image on half of the screen while taking pictures. It's like the menu area is unwilling to release its reserved screen area.

i'm using a 9020T
after flashing the stock 4.0.3 OTA, everything is good except browsing some chinese sites(such as www.163.com www.sina.com.cn in desktop mode) with the stock browser
on those sites, when i zoom in to max, the characters will not be clear after several secs(for 5-8 secs most of the times, though sometimes only 2-3 secs ,and sometimes 15+ secs,so i think maybe something is bugged)
and then, after the characters are ok and the redering finished , if zoom out to min again, it will use even more time to show all page than zooming in.
i tried to do a full wipe , unfortunately the issue persists in a newly flashed ics4.0.3 with no google account logged,with almost every setting disabled, even with no sim card
also tested with 3g /edge / wifi.
but what the strange thing is, i have asked some 9023 people but they don't have the issue, and one of my friends using 9020T just got the same as i got.
i've seen some one on xda get the same issue on visiting a non-english site

I have a problem with the browser rendering real websites extremely slow.
When I zoom in, I takes a lot of time for the text to focus.
When I zoom out, I see the tile for about 30 seconds until I see the other parts of the website.
For other problem (like FB) I can say this:
Not all apps are adjusted for ICS so the battery problem may be because of an app taking all the battery (if it requests services from the androis os thread you might not notice it an app problem)
For problems with the facebook app - delete the cache and app data in the application setting menu
Update: I found that the browser slowing down when going into Hebrew web sites in desktop mode. English sites render a lot faster

Hello everyone! I've been following this website for a while and have been using HellyBean on my device.
I'm using the most recent version, 27/09 and I am sad with the RAM problems I'm having. Simple things like writing a SMS can be a nightmare at times because the keyboard goes away and it does not appear again! Using the AOSP browser it closes a lot and the wifi icon goes gray constantly.
I've tried to do a clean install twice but this happens every time. Has anyone been having these problems or is it only me? Anyone knows how I can fix it?
Thanks in advance!
After a reboot how many free RAM do you have? Have you installed apps like whatsapp, skype etc. they need huge mem ...especially the Gapps ...and our device only have 512MB RAM less reserved for the Kernel to be used by some drivers (video, capture, JPG) for DMA (Direct Memory Access)
What kernel uses HellyBean in Stock? Maybe try Sema-Kernel with BigMEM-Libs gives you up to 409MB RAM available for the Android System, but breaking the video recording in 720p, maybe it could help ...

After a reboot, the device reports 134 MB free. There are a lot of apps running and changing the RAM at the beginning but it stabilizes at around 130 MB and 120 MB. Here everything seems ok. I had some heavy apps, facebook, facebook messenger, skype (installed but not actually running, stopped using it) and firefox. Firefox was the only app I had trouble before but it is normal for it. Maybe Gapps but I find it strange to happen only now.
HellyBean uses the Devil Kernel by default. I used the option that gave me slightly more memory than default but still with access to the 720p recording. I changed to Semaphore Kernel to try and see if the same happened. Installed the slim version and it still happened. I now have the normal version because videos didn't work, I don't know why. I'll try the Devil Kernel again with the extreme memory option. I'll have no camera but let's see what happens. I'm not expecting miracles though. If it worked once with the normal amount of memory it should still work now...
EDIT: By the way, to clarify, facebook, facebook messenger and skype are not on my device anymore. firefox still is.
Experimenting now with the Devil Kernel with the Maximum RAM option (439 MB w/out camera)
Hmhh okay ,maybe you can test your origin HellyBean later ( without using facebook and so on ),and see what happened..
For Testing i i think the devil kernel with maximum RAM option is good, but i think you need the camera, so it is no option for daily use, or what do you think ...
As is said there are many apps which consumed much of ram and so android has to restart different apps often ...
Our device only has 512MB RAM...is it the latest helly bean version based on android 4.3 ???
But when you have tested hellybean with stock kernel AND Sema-Kernel and it still happened, could it be a bug in hellybean? Did you a clean installation ???

Testing with Devil Kernel now with the maximum RAM option (439MB). It has no facebook, facebook messenger and the skype app is unninstalled now as well. So far so good! I've actually managed to use Firefox and write a message in a floating window with no problems at all. I've been going at it for a while now, testing Firefox, the AOSP browser, playing games, sending SMS, updating stuff, everything works fine. Except now for the camera. While I don't normally use it I don't like it disabled. Just for testing right now.
I found a screenshot I took, the phone reported only 17MB free and 379MB used. Calculator says it was only 103,6MB, unless something else escapes me, and facebook was restarting and poweramp and voodoo sound were battling to stay running since I was trying to listen to music. I thought it might be some kind of memory leak or something since it did somekind of soft-reboot (shows boot screen but doesn't ask for pin code) and everything was fine for a little while...
I don't think there are anymore heavy apps running on my phone. It's too bad the phone is considered almost ancient now but I'll have to deal with it for now. No money for a new one so cool as this one!
HellyBean is now based on 4.3 for most of it's compatible devices. It includes the GT-i9000 I use.
I first did a dirty flash on a new version. But that started the problems so I did a clean flash ( lots of wipes since I screwed up the kernel during install ) twice and it still happened even with a more recent version. Visiting the thread doesn't seem to show much regarding this problem. I can't post there yet or I would ask them first since it's the same ROM. They are only talking about SWAP and I don't use it. So it doesn't seem like a HellyBean bug. I thought also maybe it was a CM bug since HellyBean is based on it... But I would probably find more people in my situation if it was like that. I would like not to downgrade to the last version I had no problems with since I like a feature that came with the new version (deactivated because it could be that feature was a problematic one) but if this lasts I'll do that.
Thanks for your suggestions!
EDIT: It seems to be fixed! Don't ask me how... I didn't want to get the DevilKernel from the site since I already had it on the device but I had to install the last version again which I used to test the maximum RAM option I talked about. Since I had no problem I started decreasing the RAM amount until I got to the default option. And everything is working fine! I really don't get it why a dirty reflash fixed that a clean install did not. Sad because I couldn't figure out what was happening... But it's normal again... Lucky me, I guess? Anyway, thanks for your time trying to help me! I appreciate it!
No Problem therefore it is a forum !!! And it is great that i could help, or not in your case
It is strange, but the main thing is ,it works...however ...
Thanks for reporting!!!

I thought it might be some kind of memory leak or something since it did somekind of soft-reboot (shows boot screen but doesn't ask for pin code) and everything was fine for a little while...
I don't think there are anymore heavy apps running on my phone. It's too bad the phone is considered almost ancient now but I'll have to deal with it for now. No money for a new one so cool as this one!
HellyBean is now based on 4.3 for most of it's compatible devices. It includes the GT-i9000 I use.
I first did a dirty flash on a new version. But that started the problems so I did a clean flash ( lots of wipes since I screwed up the kernel during install ) twice and it still happened even with a more recent version. Visiting the thread doesn't seem to show much regarding this problem. I can't post there yet or I would ask them first since it's the same ROM. They are only talking about SWAP and I don't use it. So it doesn't seem like a HellyBean bug. I thought also maybe it was a CM bug since HellyBean is based on it... But I would probably find more people in my situation if it was like that. I would like not to downgrade to the last version I had no problems with since I like a feature that came with the new version (deactivated because it could be that feature was a problematic one) but if this lasts I'll do that.
Thanks for your suggestions!
EDIT: It seems to be fixed! Don't ask me how... I didn't want to get the DevilKernel from the site since I already had it on the device but I had to install the last version again which I used to test the maximum RAM option I talked about. Since I had no problem I started decreasing the RAM amount until I got to the default option. And everything is working fine! I really don't get it why a dirty reflash fixed that a clean install did not. Sad because I couldn't figure out what was happening... But it's normal again... Lucky me, I guess? Anyway, thanks for your time trying to help me! I appreciate it!
