Here is my idea, right before the boot animation is loaded, you will get a menu, working by touch or physical buttons and this menu will let you choose between booting into full omnirom for everyday use or boot into the same thing except 95% of the functions are disabled and the only wo things that work are phone and messages. this would become very useful to keep battery life for a long period of time while still being available on phone. I am a bit new to the scene of android roms and I don't know if this is in any way possible. I'd like to get your opinions on this and if you are better than me maybe tell me if this is possible.
idk how feasible that would be, but it's thinking outside the box! cool idea
Long press on Reboot option in power menu may be what you want...

Hi guys,
I'm on 2.1 Stock ROM, no taskkillers etc.
My homescreen is completely frozen as I type now and I can't open the apps menu (the app drawer with 3D conveyor belt effects) or slide to any other homescreen whether i lock/unlock the screen as many times i want!
On touching any homescreen icon absolutely unrelated apps are launching, eg, on touching messaging icon the stock camera launches (whose icon is on a different homescreen!)...on touching market icon...color flashlight launches (icon not on any homescreen...straight in app menu/drawer) etc etc! So cant launch maps or anything. 8 icons on homescreen and remaining space is taken by weather widget donation HTC style clock.
Wait a min...a call just came through fine and I could answer it...after hanging up I could touch all home screen icons and they were working but then suddenly my entire home screen rotated and went to landscape mode! Like all home menu icons, weather clock etc are in landscape/vertical direction and not alined/fitted to the entire screen...as in the ends of icons are cut off as the whole page looks magnified cos its obv not intended to be like that. Landscape orientation is not supported or needed on homescreens/app menu etc on the N1. Why is this happening (never came across this orientation change issues in any forums inc. xda) , why the hang?! Weird things regarding touch sensitivity and screen behaviour etc keep happening from time to time but I know about all that screen, touch sensor make and quality issues etc etc.
Also, I've noticed that everytime after a restart my phone takes atleast 20 mins to half hour plus to get everything working snappily and respond at full speed, eg, till then homescreen transitions are not smooth, all gallery pics dont load up to show for a long while (16 gig class 2 sandisk card). Is this normal?
Sometimes after switching to 3G my 3G watchdog (mobile data transfer measurement app) doesn't auto launch (app issue maybe?) and sometimes no mater how many times I choose wifi ON, it doesn't turn on! Switching it off from power control widget (i.e., 3G on) and then on again doesn't turn on wifi either even when good signal on my laptop!
Earlier today my phone was lying on the desk and it auto-restarted god knows why! The phone freeze happened like 10-11 hours after the restart today afternoon so memory etc wasn't so full or too many apps launched. The home screen rotation orientation has changed before in the past too so not first time to be clear.
I have still more than 80 mb app memory free in internal memory and dont overload my phone with crappy apps etc etc.
Pls advice and discuss.
I know you're on a stock rom now, but have you previously unlocked the bootloader and flashed anything else like recoveries, roms, etc?
If you have and you just reverted back to a stock rom, you could've downloaded a bad rom.
Have you dropped your phone? banged it around a bit?

Nope...none of those...fresh as a daisy!
Ok, well 2 options...
Option #1 - Return your phone for a new one if it's under warranty.
Option #2 - Unlock the bootloader, upgrade your recovery, flash the new radio and upgrade to a new rom like cyanogenmod. Come to the Dark Side young skywalker.

So returning or rooting are my only options??? Why does the screen rotate weirdly? Is there any explanation of what's gone wrong?!
See if its a hardware n I root then I'll cry later due to voided warranty n in UK we get a 2 year warranty.
As far as bumps or knocks are concerned...ofcourse the phone takes normal hits or once or twice falls from my laptop to my carpeted floor but that's all.
There has to be logic behind this!
strange sceen happenings...
I've had the same ghost in my machine. In addition, my nexus would lose communication with the network and the cool startup screen with the streaming x would show. I had to pull the battery to get things back to normal. Enom suggested to watch my apps, he thought maybe one had a memory leak.
I found that moving my apps to my sdcard made my phone shot my phone to the streaming x about twice a day. Since wiping and not doing this, I haven't had that problem. I also found that my fav craigslist app was causing my screen to go unresponsive. I think the craigslist app was checking it's update and monopolized the cpu. Since my wipe i havent' installed it and the phone is working better.
Last, I installed nextheme 1.8.1. It also seems to quell the errant screen happenings. The screen still has it's moments, but if i press the off button and turn the phone back on again, i have control back.
I still have problems, but i've gotten them managable. I don't think it's a hardware problem because my rom choise and app selection really affect it. If it were hardware, it would be more consisitant regardless.
Hope this helps...
Im running ZenHeroFX 2.1 Lite ROM with 710 Darchstar kernel... my phone is so annoying with it. At times it is lightning fast and everything works perfectly. And other times, (often but not always) during and after recharging from a low battery (ie. <15%) the touchscreen becomes super laggy.
For instance, while clicking on an icon on my homescreen, it will light up but not start the app. Rather, it will freeze for a sec or two and then as if I held the icon it would try to move it around the screen. Or when dialing a number the numbers would show up literally 20 seconds or so after the keypress.
Today the same thing happened but after a few minutes of this the touchscreen became totally unresponsive. I realized tho, that I could use the menu, home search, back and power keys and the phone responded almost at normal speed. But I was unable to enter any type or anything else involving the touch screen. After several reboots and one long reboot after clearing the cache, it finally is back to normal. This happens to me every few days or so, however, and is very annoying. Any suggestions as to why this is and/or how to stop it?
Change roms buddy. Sounds like your having a ****ty time with that one
Best very is to go with cyanogen. Have yet to have a problem with it not have I found a faster rom. My 2 cents
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I fell in love with Konikub's Pure Hero rom but after the discovery of the bug in Toasts BFS #89 kernel that force closed the phone from time to time i had to reconsider. I know they make the updated kernel for roms that had that issue but without BFS the speed of the rom just isn't the same even overclocked. That is until i revisited Froyo after the first shrewd attempts back in the day lol. Let me tell u Darch and team r a dedicated group of talented individuals who know what they r doing when it comes to ROM development. His CyanogenMod 6 though it's still in the final testing stages is way good enough as an everyday ROM for me. It's fast without the complexity of BFS and is customizable to all ends. If u love senseless roms then u will love CM 6.
I have an HTC pure, running Energy Rom, SPB mobile shell 3.5.5, and XDAndroid.
Here are my questions.
1. XD Android keyboard is t9 and in japanese. I dwnld'd gineger bread keyboard, which didnt change the look at all. (yes, I am sure i had it installed and set up in settings correctly.) So what IME can I use to replace annoying japanese keyboard? Which also has no option to close keyboard (hard key back button works, but will often close app im using)
2. I can make calls, and recieve them, but THERES NO SOUND! no in call volume, period, adjusted every setting I can find. checked my startup .txt file, added suggested controll lines, no change.
3. Sleep button (remapped to end key) works about 10% of the time, only when turning screen off is it 100%, getting screen back on, is a crap shoot. why is this? buttons light up, dim in and out, but no screen response, have to hit it a bajillion times, to get a response, and sometimes the old on/off/power button (top) will turn screen on... and my LED is going nuts, back and forth from yellow to orange, constantly.. I read nearly 25+ pages of the XD android thread, no help there...
4. No droid on boot, Seems I have to boot android from the haret.exe starter, everytime I want droid running, why doesn't it boot with phone?
5. No SD card, I have on in, and its got all my droid related files on the root, but no app 2 sd b/c it doesn't read the card as being mounted.
6. live backgrounds, animated backgrounds arent working either? could be just the device, but idk anything about this..
7. what is the processor speed on a pure, and what is overclocking, what does it do, and should i pursue this with spb, windos 6.5 etc running..?
8. If I can get froyo on my winmo pure, why cant I get it on my aria? and what can you do to an aria? seems like nothing... stupid att?
9. is there a way to speed up android on my pure? should I wipe my phone clean, flash a low ram using rom, and then re install droid?
10. every so often when in market, phone reverts to flying droids spelling xdandroid, and gets looped there. wtf.
It's a big set of issues, hope help is on the way, also, I have searched, ad searched, so please, if you have nothing relavent to offer me in response to my questions, just leave.
Okay, fixed they keyboard issue, but it wont set a keyboard other than the stock one to default, I have to change it every time I type, or select a text box.
Annoying but an improvement.
Still not recognizing my SD card, and the camera isnt working period, been through multiple kernels, fx03 fx02, tried several command lins in my image text.
Still nothing.
Call issue seems to beback and forth, had my g/f call me sitting on the couch, and the call had sound, went through perfect. Went outside, and nothing, n o ring, no nothing, and went to voicemail on her end. visa versa, when I her phone rang, and connected, still no sound. seems to have a 1 in 5-8 sucess rate..
and still having issues with turning on the screen, once off, it takes several try's and multiple button clicks to get any response. Just led flickering and lots of dimming/lighting buttons.
all in all however, the look on my ATT store rep. when i whipped out my PURE, set it next to my aria, and said, "pure has froyo, aria is eclair" he about ****.. "how do you have froyo on a winmo phone??"
Magic
Thanks XDA, you guys are awesome! (plus with my windows rom running i have tehering for wi-fi router, and ability to side load apps into android on here makes it about 10X cooler than my aria, now if only stability, performance, and a better touchscreen, were factors..
Lastly, what can I do about the hardware issues, I realise the Pure must not have a very fast CPU, and WTF is over clocking and what are it's pro's cons'?
Seriously,o one can say anything about this after over one hundred views... wow guys, just wow.
I am right there with you. :/

Hello everyone.
I'm running on cocore 9.8 and ikaster's pure vanilla rom, with hungarian baseband. I would say I'm moderately satisfied with the phones performance most of the time. I mean apps run smoothly, except when I have a program running(lets say WAZE, facebook, clash of clans, or even poweramp) and I get a call. This makes the phone lag hard, if it manages to proceed to showing the dial screen in time, and I get to actually pick up the phone, it still lags for about 5-10 second while the calling party is waiting for me to join the conversation. What I must say could be really embarrassing and annoying. What I am looking for is a solution for this. What I thought about, is to set up a process what clears my memory, or exit the application running right when the call comes in. Since 95% of the time I'm not doing anything uninterruptable on the phone (clash of clans or facebook) I wouldnt mind shutting down Everything for a call. Because it's a phone afterall, and I want to be able to pick it up.
I'm also ready to switch rom's if it is necessary to obtain better multitasking or prioritizing, if it's worth the hassle. I've been reading the hyped roms lately, but the responses are pretty mixed, and I'm not confident enough it is worth spending hours on installing a different rom(i know installing takes minutes, but costumizing, installing applications, and generally getting familiar with the new stuffs could take a whole bunch of time), I would love to try them all, but I just dont have the time to mess around with it. Besides I have work calls to make quite often. I'm aware that you are not allowed to recommend any rom (try it for yourself is the policy), but I would like to know if you think I could get better experience if I switch maybe to the indian baseband or the latest italian, or go with cm 10.2, even if there is any way to fix this problem.
How i got along with the phone is that I clean the background applications mostly after I'm done using the phone for now, this way it responds fine, and works alright. But sadly I can't do that when a call comes in. I don't even understand why this is have to go this way, since what I've read is that the OS should deal with the background applications and ram management, but somehow it doesnt seem to work as smooth as it should and it often requires manual cleaning. Also i do not use task killers (i've read they do more harm than good), I do it manually long pressing the home button.
again what i see as the easiest and 'best' option is to find a way to make the phone do this automatically whenever a call comes in, and possibly do it before the ram gets filled up and the phones goes numb.
Thank you for your help in advance
I've been using this outstanding phone for more than a year now. It's awesome.
since i have some feature that i would like to keep i am Not using the official miui (neither global, dev or chinese) but trying different roms in the last few weeks(MSM, Epic, Lineage etc..).
I just cant seem to figure out what makes the phone reboot when i'm climbing on my bike(v twin -F800st if it matters at all) and sometimes when charging it. Maybe the heat is the problem( i dont think so as i couldn't see any trouble with it on the last year at all).
Some Roms make me experience this more than others(MSM) and some less(Epic).
Is there any way to log for the reason of the reboots?
Tried a few different Kernels as well but didn't change anything.
Mi Max 2(oxygen), currently on Epic rom, nougat 7.1.1 miui 10.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Sounds daft but when you're mounting your bike are you accidentally pressing the power button too long on the phone, use to happen to me on my car windscreen mount. As for the reboots during charging that is weird
definetly not the situation here.
The fact that this phone screen is rather big and the kavpower(https://www.amazon.com/Kapaver-Xiaomi-Cover-Premium-Rugged/dp/B0747RJ5RL) case shows the part above the vol up button which i can mount the phone pretty easily being far away from the power button...
Also, it doesn't always goes off instantly. sometimes i can ride for 10-15 mins and than a extensive reboot session starts.
As soon as i pull it of the bike, it usually just stops this frenzy.
Thats wh im so eager to find a way to find th reboot reason.
can you attach the logcats?
First assumption here would be the overclocking or under volting .. so stick with a stock kernel or near stock rom / ie miui global or xiaomi.eu or mi-globe.. and see if the reboots disappear .. if it goes away try introducing one thing at a time .. a kernel then a rom and so on
