CM6 extremely unstable?

Hey, for some reason all CM6 builds/ROMs based on CM6 crash pretty badly for me. Programs don't seem to fc but rather the phone freezes and the capicative buttons become unresponsive. I wipe everything before each flash but I still get the same problems.
I'm currently running the asim rom which has zero problems and excellent battery life. MCR21 (What asim rom is based on) also runs perfectly. CM 5.08 worked just fine but any builds after this point cause the above issues. I run stock kernels most of the time so I've ruled that out.
I don't currently have a2sd and install only a handful of applications:
adbWireless
Adfree
Adobe Flash 10.1
Bloo
ChromeToPhone
Dolphin HD
Flikie Wallpapers HD
Folder Organiser
Lastpass
Launcher Pro
Music Mod
Mute
OI File Manager
PSX4Droid
Quick Boot
Set CPU
SMS Popup
Titanium Backup
Trackball Alter Pro
Set CPU doesn't use profiles and I simply set it to On Demand. I can't see anyone else running into the same problems with CM6 so it must be something on my end, however other roms work just perfect so I'm baffled. Any ideas guys?
Thanks!

Have you tried another Froyo based ROM, such as Enom's? At a glance, it looks like all of the ones that work for you are Eclaire, which points to problems with software.
Have you tried running the system with NO apps installed? I know, it's hard to consider, but might help isolate an app problem vs ROM problem vs hardware problem.

Yep r21 is based on 2.2. I'm starting to think it might be an app problem as you say. Weird that it is only caused on CM6 though.

Try flashing wildmonk's latest CFS 950mV kernel and see if it helps...

I've tried this for the past couple of hours and while it does help to some extent I am still getting the occasional reboot. It seems to occur most when accessing internal memory such as Titanium Backup or browsing the SD card. I had previously thought the SD card might be playing up so I bought a new 8GB Class 6 card

[Q] Some questions about CM7

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,
Gerard

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

Can you tell me if the camera & video work well?
My 2 bigs problem with froyomod are the camera that often FC and freeze and the video that are stuttering so much..
I can move to CM7 only if I'm sure that this stuff work well!

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.

My phone is SLOW. (I'm on Sammy's JB leak). What can I do to speed things up?

I actually use my phone to do stuff... not only tinker endlessly with it. I have Skype, Whatsapp, FB, Twitter running on the device at all times.
Last time I checked, when I boot my phone I have 768 MB in use! So when I open Chrome, or Logmein, it takes.. .forever. Even opening the dialer takes a couple of seconds. The phone itself is smooth - opening apps is what chokes my phone.
I don't overclock my phone (on JB it's impossible, anyway). But I don't think it's a GHz issue. I think that if I had 2 GB of RAM everything would be fine.
Anyway.
Should I get off JellyBean for the time being and go back to ICS? Or, would CM10 be faster and lighter?
I can't believe that when I got my Note a couple of months ago I thought it was blazing fast, and now it seems turtle-like when comparing it to my wife's Optimus 4X

In Cm10 or 10.1, ram usage is low and apps open fast too.

There are several things you can do to speed it up and lower the RAM usage. Easiest method would be to flash a tweaked ROM like Ultimate or Alliance, which already come with various optimizations. But what I found best regarding RAM usage was to install ROM Toolbox Pro, and tweak the settings under Memory Management. I use the "Advanced" or "Aggressive" profile.
This is, of course, if you want to stick with Samsung ROMs. Otherwise you could try CM/AOKP-based ROMs, some are much more lightweight than Samsung. The best in my opinion are SlimBean and Jellybam.

Because I honestly got so used to Google Now, I can't go back to ICS anymore.

These is a mod for Google now on ics too

You should try Cassies Xtra lite 11.1 LSA (there is slight difference between LSC so dev didn't make a ROM that's based on LSC)
Than flash LSC kernel if u want and use V6 superecharger from zepp and your antutu will be somewhere near 10000!!!
Thanks tu CF,Zepp,Thering1975,Adam Outler,Eybee1970 and Philz.

Try this Ram Optimizer Pro...has different profiles to choose from....
http://db.tt/DDDJM8HP
Also if you wanna OC to 1.6gHz here ya go..just install the apk then load the module then set your speed..

Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

All the possibilities above are good alternatives to you, friend.
I use CM10.1 cause I'm always looking for good battery and smoothness.
As I'm too lazy to install and tweak those RAM optimizers, I always try custom ROMs.
Btw, Jelly Bam is trully great.

It is a known bug.
The last good version was 20140117.
We all wait for the new 20140127 (?) with audio.

Typically the free RAM ranges between 20mb and 60mb which admittedly sounds a bit on the edge, but kitkat runs so smooth its hard to notice. I had the velox 4.3.1 before this and even with 110mb RAM free, velox ran slower than Nameless does now. xD

Hi guys, I have a LG P970, with this ROM, nightly version of 23/02/2014, and i have some questions about it:
- In free RAM, i only have sometimes between 20 to 90 MB, its normal? (I see, in other answers, that can be normal)
- What is the best browser to use on this ROM? I use Chrome and tried Dolphin Browser but the last one is too slow, and the Chrome, is slow, but it is better than Dolphin.
- What the best app to clean our cache and free ram ? I use clean master. IT's a good choice?
Ty a lot, and keep the good work:good:

Naked Browser and Lightning Browser are both very free, open source, light, and fast; Tint is another, larger and open option, although it's supposed to be fast. All three are available via Play. I use the default AOSP Browser and am very happy.
Flash is mostly broken under KitKat; there's a hacked version that works with Dolphin, but Flash never really worked well with mobile anyway. I came to the realization a while ago that my phone is not a desktop machine. I mostly read folks wanting Flash for YouTube, but Google provides an app for that.

Phone is soooo slow!!!

Afternoon peeps,
Recently my Mini 2 has just ground to an unusable, good-for-nothing pile of crap.
- It is soooo slow to do anything.
- It rotates the screen when it's not being rotated.
- It locks in the middle of performing tasks.
- It blacks out for 30 seconds or so before becoming responsive again.
- Voice on Google Maps or Runkeeper apps keeps glitching.
I'm running CM12 [12-20150411-NIGHTLY-memul] with TWRP recovery.
Reinstalling the ROM returns the phone to a normal function, temporarily, before descending into chaos.
Clearing the cache partition sort of works....for a little while.
I/O Scheduler is ROW.
Storage isn't anywhere near full with 3.65Gb free.
Available RAM is on average about 170Mb
My thoughts are that an app is causing this.
Can anyone throw some troubleshooting ideas into the pot?
Thanks
E

Clearing cache and ram just makes it worst as Android works different from PC's.
It seems you're in the good path as just need to find what APP is doing that. Providing that you run CM12 without extras and its ok, than try install/uninstall one app at the time until you find the one its causing trouble

I thought that might be the case. Also, I'm gettimg a lot of Background App crashes/Not responding, but there're no patterns. OneFootball, Media Storage, System UI, Google+, Facebook Messenger all make an appearance.
I think i may have to start from a fresh again

Well CM12 its a bit buggy so if you gonna run high end apps i suggest stock ROM.
Regarding RAM, android manages that pretty well for you. The more ram in use, the better things work. (if you know how RAM works) same thing with cache. So don't use stupid programs to clear RAM as they are useless.
You can google for more info.

Interesting, the reason I'm on CM with this HTC is because the Stock ROM also showed the same symptoms, so I moved to CM to try to cure. I really liked the stock UI and was reluctant to move away from it.
I do know RAM and that does make sense - more stuff in RAM = quicker access to resouces, but surely its still a good troubleshooting step to clear down if these problems arise?

Like i said, Android will clear the apps when it need to open resources for another.
Reading back your posts, you might need to do full re-installation .
If you install Google Apps bundle, start with re-flashing that. if still no good then go for the all ROM.
But you say that it also happened with stock rom so finding the app that's causing that its crucial.
Also note the apps that stay open in the background (click the 2 Squares) only nine stay open but all you need its a game to keep eating all the resources.

I've begun by uninstalling OneFootball and Facebook and performance has improved somewhat. This might be quite a long process as im going go leave a day or so between each action.
I have fully reinstalled before, but selected to restore data and apps from backup. Maybe I'll try setting up as a new device if it comes to it. Want to avoid that tho.

Did you find a solution? I'm facing about the same issue with my HTC One Mini 2 after installing CM12. It ran perfectly smooth in the beginning but now it is soooo slow and it takes forever to load almost any apps (especially Facebook and Snapchat).

I think it's either Facebook or Facebook Messenger, probably more messenger.
I first uninstalled Facebook Messenger and performance improved. Still a little glitchy, but much better.
Then I uninstalled Facebook. Not much change.
Facebook is now reinstalled, but messenger isn't and I've been happier with the phone.
I'm still getting some background apps crashing, but not as much as before uninstalling FB messenger.
Not really a 'solution' as it could be different for you, but as mentioned previously, start uninstalling an app at a time. Leave a few days inbetween so you can tell if it changed anything. If not, reinstall and try again.

Same issue here with mini 2..i dont have facebook or that football app
