now everything goes fantastic
but, like allways there is a but

Odd. Fixed it yet?
If not, I can re-post this q in mintberry thread for you.

reflashed everything by those steps:
1.recovery>mounts & storage>format data,system,cache
2.install from zip file>the mint berry rom
reboot my phone and finish the self installer that starts on the first boot
3.recovery>install from zip file>ultimate kernel cleaning script(cm7/miui version)
4.install from zip file>glitch kernel>reboot my phone
5.pimp my cpu>oc to 1200 mhz
by the way thats also what i did in the first time i've flashed miui
i had pilotx 4 before with speedmod kernel, it was a lame but a least the games worked, now it's like i'm trying to play gta iv with onboard graphic card,
and still the same situation after i've reflashed it,
woolf clubs, if you can post it there that will be great,
until finally i've found custom rom that i'm not cursing it
it's not working well,
dam* you murphy...

Will do mate. The accelerometer is pump on cm7 based roms anyway.
Check out mintberry thread.

Is your Incredible Stable? or Do you get Force Closes?

I have my Inc running Cm7 7.1 RC1
Radio 2.15.10.05.06
Kernel Chads Incredikernel 7062011
Why the hell is this setup so unstable?
Some days it runs fine.. Other days I get force closes on messaging, Android market, the camera,
Its so annoying..
To everyone else how stable is your phone on an every day basis?
Exact same setup as you, once in awhile FC on startup for a few apps, but no FC otherwise. what's really annoying though is sometimes entire system becomes unresponsive and auto reboots

If you undervolted your kernel then this is a common issue, and it means you should raise the voltages.
--
Also I haven't gotten any FC's running CM7.1 #106 nightly.
If it's bugging you enough and you want to *try* and fix it then I suggest you flash the latest nightly (#136 or 137) - but make sure you do a full wipe and format /system. Also clear all your caches. If you do restores from TIbackup then make sure you don't restore data.
That's all I can suggest, hope your problems with CM gets sorted out eventually.
^ Also try fixing permissions.

I get the force closes and unresponsiveness time to time no matter what rom. Most of the time it's an app but every once in while it is a system app.
A lot of times it is poorly written apps not the rom. Run without any apps and you will see your phone runs great for a long time. Unfortunately theres no way to know if an app is written well without trying it. I wish google had a better way to control this.
I'm on and off CM. Ive been running 7.1.0. for about a week havent had a problem/FC. I have also restored app+data using TBU even though it isn't recommended Do you have this problem with any other roms.

lol, cm's code is fine...
Usually things like this are user error/app related, and if not, then most likely something wrong with your phone. Otherwise we would see a mass amount of users reporting these problems. Which we don't..
Running CM7, I've had no fc's at all, no app problems, etc when following instructions, other than in the past some of the legitimate bugs that have popped up, and been fixed.
Did you flash RC1 over a nightly or any other previous CM build?, restore apps with Ti-Backup, Over or underclocked the kernel at all, Other various things that could result in fc's? Might wana try just running with no apps like nfiniti9 said, on a fresh install, Default kernel, and then see what happens.
I used the same setup besides the radio. I'm using 2.15.00.11.19 and I found it to be really buggy as well. Right now I'm using nightly 130 and incredikernel 06192011. I found this kernel to be more stable for me.

I have same setup with aggressive undervolt script from chad. Have not had a force close or reboot yet, and I have been using RC1 since it dropped, and nightlies for weeks before that. I am using the new GB leak radio also.
Obvious, but have you done a full clean wipe/flash? Check MD5 sum?
CM7RC3
Latest Incredikernel
Never changed radio
100% stable
OMFGB nightly 7-05
chads beta 2 with usb fast charge
stock radio
800 min voltage and -25 max voltages.
nothing to complain about, stock battery lasts anywhere from 5- 13 hours depending how hard i use it
any issues i was having i think i found out the problem... i was uaing titanium to restore after a full wipe and i was restoring all my settings wbich messed the phone up again after a clean wipe... this time i got smarter and did a clean wipe but i only restored my applications instead of system settings... this seems to have fixed issues for now.

Running cyanogenmod 7.0.2.1 and I'm about to switch to 7.0.3 because I'm getting a lot of force closes lately, running the latest incredikernel as well.
1. This doesn't belong in development. Being a QUESTION, it would be much better suited to Q&A.
2. The OP is the fool that was trolling Chad's thread.
Facedown41 - I'd recommend flashing the latest nightly, its perfectly stable with a lot of new features. 7.0.3 is a bit dated.

Same here. I just started using CM for about a week or so but so far not 1 fc 100% stable and fast.
Cm7 7.1 RC1 <---- problem right there.
RC = 100% stable.
im still on 7.0.3
The solution to your problem is to run a cache cleaner. This happened to me many times before and if you run it, it clears up a lot of space in the data/data partition so your apps have room in the memory to run w/o force closing!

[Q] Phone crashes randomly

Hi,
I recently updated from an old 2.2 rom to 2.3.4, (surface rom), and have noticed that occasionally the phone seems to crash for no apparent reason. It is however, not a reboot, as far as I can tell. phone locks up, within 5-10 seconds i'll see lock screen, (there's no boot animation or anything, or error message), with all previously running applications closed. Can't reproduce reliably, last occurred when I was just listening to music on it.
Any idea what sort of crash/problem this is, and what might be affecting it? (ie launcher, rom, kernel etc)
Running surface rom, semaphore kernel, zeam launcher, not OC'ing
Thanks for any help!
Mate i think surface is not too much good....i think u should go with Blockbuster rom....u just flash and you ll find difference....if u like enery efficent then dnt flash anyother kernel remain on stock....and if u likr Overclocked kernel then go with GalaixanGt or Semaphore 1.5.0.....then u see the really stable and energy efficent rom.

Very slow Galaxy S

I have galaxy s since last one year and i love it... However my phone has become very slow these days.. I tried several roms and kernels.. Formatted both internal and external SD cards... But still it is very slow... I remember that I dropped it 3-4 times... Is it because of it?
Can someone suggest me please... What should I do...

Maybe over clock it ...? I thought the new ROMs would have helped. It could be the fact that your phone is older now and some internal hardware has been worn out

I'm no expert so I'm not sure. Best bet would be to replace the hardware which Costs a ton of money. Its better to just a get a new phone. Either that or maybe mess around with new ROMs some more. Maybe you are wiping your phone incorrectly or maybe you use it too much

my suggest...
1. update your firmware to last version (2.3.6).
2. try to change kernel and custom rom.
3. maybe, with some different kernel and custom rom, you can choice the better option for your device. for example, try using kernel semaphore (gingerbread) and custom rom F1 or other.
I would be very surprised if physical trauma has simply caused a slow-down in speed. It would more likely show itself as random reboots and other more obvious symptoms.
Much like Windows, after a lot of use, it slows down - you have said that you've flashed other roms, maybe you just haven't come across a good one; there are after all a lot of different ones...
I would suggest the deodex-ed / rooted stock rom from RAMAD Gingerbread JVT. As I remember it was always quite stable and fast.
The hardware components inside a modern phone will not wear-out after a year - they are not moving parts! - when ram or a processor wears out it usually results in total system crashing not just a slow down.
Thank you all for your feedbacks and suggestions. I use my phone a lot. Usually i use TV out a lot as i do not have a cable connection in my hostel room. I use my phone a lot. I flashed it atleast more than 100 times. I have not seen any reboots, crashed , soft reboots etc very often. When i use MIUI rom my phone is very fast indeed however , it does not have a TV Out and therefore i have to use a stock based rom.. i will try Rammad's GB Rom as per your suggestion and will report back. As i told you that i dropped it a couple of times, is it possible that any of the Internal components have become loose?
Have you ever tried Advanced task killer? Or even killed tasks?

Try ICSSGS RC 4.2. I had the same situation as you. It was fine for one year and I was using Darky rom by that time. Suddenly I started feeling that my phone is too slow. Lot of stuck. Sometimes I had to remove battery just to restart.
Now running above ICS rom with Devil 14.2 Kernel its rocking ...
yeah I'd suggest u the advanced taskkiller too
in options you can set the auto killlevel to safe, so that it kills smth like games in the background but not important apps
since then my phone is quite fast even with stockrom

Just get stock jw1, flash with reparation to wipe everything, then do a factory reset via secret dial code. Now install semaphore 2.5.0 kernel. Dl superuser to get root. Now install thunderbolt tweaks the main package and the 60lmk other addon(read thread how to) . This is the best setup i can think of in terms of speed bat life and functionality. Next step look in pikachus Android optimization thread and remove the bloatware listed there, basically remove as much bloat as possible. Enjoy ur fast phone.

I can perfectly connect to the internet but the problem is when i am downloading or (sometimes) when i am watching streaming videos.... This problem make an incorrect download everytime! (with any browser i proved)
sorry if my post does not be in the correct section... but my device really dissapointed me.... there is no problem before! why now? (not even a change in the rom or anything with that)... i really want to know what is the issue of this problem!
thnx for reading and hope an answer
[I do not know how to speak english or write it correctly, sorry for any incovenience]
It could be many things bud, need more info. How old is your phone? What kernal are you using? When did you last update your phone? What radio are you using? Have you dropped your phone? Did your phone get wet? Also your phone company may be doing work on cell towers have you tried calling them about the issue? Things like that, we need to know if we are going to be able to help?

I am going to answer you step by step: I bought my phone half use (4 or 5 months ago), Kernel version is: 3.0.16-g271fd09 [email protected]#1 PREEMPT, The last update i did was about 1 months or 2 (i downloaded the rom from htcdev.com), I do not know what is the radio exactly so i am going to type every information i found: Base band version: 20.76.30.0835U_3831.19.00.19_M, Build Number: 40.14.405.2 CL408426 release-keys, Bowser version: WebKit/534.30... No, i did not drop it never, Does not get wet neither... My phone company not even know i have an Android!
The radio is: 3831.19.00.19_M and HBOOT is: 2.03.0000. VIVO PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
If need more information just Let me know and i will provide you with it.
And i have another question: If i want to wipe the dalvik cache... all my apps will uninstall or delete? what happened if i wipe the dalvik cache?... It is just i want to run the games quickly (without freeze or not so much) and i was reading if i do a wipe dalvik cahche the smartphone entire should go faster...
waiting for an answer yet.... D; i really need help.
Sorry mate been a little busy, try calling HTC and asking them what their current radio is for your phone type and country. Otherwise I suggest getting your phone rooted and changing the kernal and if that fails try changing your Rom to a stable Rom. Withou root on your phone there is not much you can change. Only HTC can alter it.

Also it is safe to wipe dalvik cache your apps will not uninstall, only the crap they put on your phone will be erased. After a delvic/cache wipe reboot your phone, and it will come up with android upgrading. Another question when you downloaded the Rom did you do a clean or dirty install. If it was dirty (did not format phone) it may explain your WiFi issues. What Rom version are you running anyway?

I see... i am runing the rom i wrote above: vivo version 4.0.4 which was installed with RUU asistant from my PC 5 months ago (more or less).... and has been installed cleanly too (formating the phone entire but not the dalvic cache) And i got this problem recently (before, about 3 weeks i did not have any problem with wifi)... why now?
My phone is rooted already (i wrote it above too: S-Off) but i do not like the customs roms... i like the "original" or not personilized roms to my device... there are many custom roms right here (xda developers page) but i do not know if that roms get me more troubles that i have already... so i trust more in my stocks roms than customs for that...
Custom roms can be soooooo much better than stock, for one they get rid of bloatware which can slow your phone, and drain battery, and consume data. There is an abundance of info on these Rom pages, which can guide you on how to remedy any issues you may have, including hotspot issues. I think I read something on the net today about HTC having hotspot issues from their latest update. I use second sun Rom, with redux .6 kernal, radio is 28m, didn't like the 19m version. Hboot is blackrose. Second sun has everything working, no issues at all, its smoother, faster than stock and it is based on the 4.0.4 Rom, also has a jellybean switch. Try this combination. It may help.

hmmmm i am thinking about to change my rom.. but need more information for example, my htc incredible s (vivo) it is completely compatible with that rom?, how many available storage space i need? (whats the size of the rom file), i have never installed a custom rom before, so how could i install it sucesfully? it is with RUU? (Assistant/wizard for pc?).... though i think that all information i could find right here but i do not like the matter of wasting time so much (;
And... i will completely decide to change to a custom rom when the problem i have becomes a fu**ing curse to my life (lol, wich it is almost here)
Mine is the same type inc s vivo. 4ext or clockwork mod are best for flashing. I use 4ext touch for recovery/management. All you have to do is save zip file on sd card, not under any folders just on main file. About 400mb is needed for file. Then perform the format all partitions except sd card. Then choose install zip from sd card and select your zip.

i see... so every custom roms comes in zip format? it seems to be easier than i expected (; but before all, i need to choose the perfect rom i want, i would like to prove the JellyBean sense 4 in my device... but it can be unsuportted at all for the poor cpu incredible s has O; and u said me u have a good rom running in ur device... i want to know where i could find it? what sense it is? u told me about could "switch" to jellybean, i do not understand that...
could u reccommend me a rom that it is nearest to "perfect"? if u know what i mean.... i say, almost perfect or perfect to me! (smooth, fast, without freeze, insane browser, tha games i install run perfectly, the apps without freeze, you know what i am talking about) i say "insane browser" cause the browser ics comes crash and close every second and it freeze very much when playing streaming videos (at least to me) and of course a stable ROM in general, without bugs, with no erros at all!
I would check your router, maybe test on another wireless device if you have not done so already. If your using encryption try a quick test with it disabled or try using another network.

i don't think so, I was reading the comments of the post of the Sabsa prime and some users having issues with the ROM, and the second sun I think have some bugs too... D; really it is so necesary to change my stock Rom to a custom Rom to solve a wifi problem? it is not easier to change the radio? or upgrade my kernel? .....
I am using second sun and I have not found any bugs, everything is working just fine. The first posts are there from when it first came out, before any fixes. If you would like to try to change the radio, the latest one is 19m. Can't suggest a kernal as they all react differently to different rims, its a matter of trial and error. Also if you would like to try a diferent rom, just perform a nandroid backup first, then change Rom. If you don't like the Rom all you have to do is go to recovery and recover the previous Rom. It would be like you never changed a thing. The backup is always there so you can try as many roms as you like, risk free.

first I will prove the second sun Rom, if that don't like me, then I will flash sabsa prime and will tell you how goods it is for me in both.
Someone could paste me the download link of the ultimate radio (.19M) and tells me what I have to know or how could I install it successfully without risk? (for example: what radio I need to have installed first?, the process is the same of flashing a Rom?) though I think that information provide me in the download link (the radio thread)...

[Q] Having issues. Make me not hate my phone please!

Boyfriend (more technically apt than I, however, currently unavailable) helped me root and install a new rom on this POS and am still having issues (running [ROM][JB][4.1.2]Slimbean 3.1.0 Unofficial Galaxy Exhibit 4G by camcory)
Issues I have are as follows:
- Constantly having to use a task manager to kill apps that constantly start and restart so nearly all my memory is being used and phone is laggy as all get out. (Consequently, anytime I try to open an app, it takes AGES before it starts..including my contacts or msging...any app in general)
- Randomly (and sadly, not consistently) when I plug in headphones, music player starts on its own. Have to kill multiple times as every time I kill it it starts again until I reboot phone out of frustration. Only solution at moment was to delete all mp3s I had on my phone and remove music player (which sucks, cause I would like to be able to listen to my music on my phone...).
- When I use Pandora, Google voice search starts on it's own. I have to kill it multiple times as it keeps restarting, before I have to reboot phone out of frustration and that tends to take care of the problem..again, temporary (and annoying) solution.
- Curious, when I bought phone, it was partitioned (or so it appeared) so there was USB storage, SD storage, and then external SD. Even after installing new ROM, a lot of files that were on the phones internal SD storage remained, wondering if there's a way to wipe that so there's not duplicate files laying around, or files that are no longer necessary as they were part of the original phone's system, or if these are files that should remain on the phone for some purpose.
Also, in general, not terribly pleased with the look of this ROM. I really enjoyed the look and some of the default apps that came on the phone (the msging and contacts especially) when I bought it. Any recommendations as to possible ROMs that would be similar to the stock, yet not as craptastic, would be much appreciated.
Any and all help is much appreciated!
ITry Linero either version with formula84 gapps and either PoweredbyEvil v1 or DemonsBlood v8 over clocked max 1612 smoothass gov SIO io and set oom and minfree to strict in ROM toolbox. Use pimp my ROM for additional tweaks such as entropy sdcard tweaks all and carefully read memory tweaks
This benches and runs smooth with zero lag for me.
No problems with music or headsets. I deleted Apollo with ROM toolbox and installed fusion.
Memory is 168 free on average without using task manager due to tweaks in pimp my ROM and ROM toolbox.
I don't use Pandora but have yet to have Google now open when opening other apps
If inserted sdcard then you have the proper storage. The partition is for boot and internal then sdcard is external
Note that I use swapsd included in linero so my internal is really now external as most all goes by default to internal when installed so with a 32gig card I don't worry
When flashing ROM wipe cache + dalvik cache + system + factory reset + internal storage and I also wipe android secure. Be sure files you want saved is on sdcard along with ROM + gapps to be flashed.

Do you have any recommendations for launchers/themes? I was really keen with the look of the stock theme that came on the phone. The hololauncher that came with slimbean and the default theme I was not terribly keen with.
Thanks again for your help. I will let you know how it all pans out!
I personally use jellybean extreme cm10 and love it. Have tried many but always go back. I use the blue one as it is near black and updates is often and very well supported. It is a paid theme but worth it imo

I personally use jellybean extreme cm10 and love it. Have tried many but always go back. I use the blue one as it is near black and updates is often and very well supported. It is a paid theme but worth it imo

So I've done all as you said except for the pimp my rom just yet (battery started dying and I couldn't bother to be tethered to the charger while I worked ). As it is, it seems a bit faster, and I've yet to run into the bugs that I had previously (but that's always how it is in the honeymoon stage). Am trying to stay optimistic.
I am dying for the old messaging, contact list, and alarm clock that stock had, but cest la vie I spose. I'll have to nose around in the future and see what's out there.
Thanks for all your help
So I installed and all seemed to be going well and then I started getting crashes and lockups. So I reverted back to Slimbean that I was running previously. Now most of the apps I had before (even on Slimbean) will not work; "aren't compatible."
I can't for the life of me remember how we bipassed this last time I dropped that ROM on here. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Do a factory reset 2 times , wipe ROM 2x and wipe internal SD 2x then flash the ROM again. I recommend causing team win recovery made for our galaxy exhibit. Since of what I read you want jelly bean but a stock feeling I recommend you using remics jbjob rom

You need to change your dpi to 240 and reboot. Then clear cache on Play Store and reboot again. It might take a few app cache wipe/ reboots before your apps come back.
