Hi folks,
Am a proud owner of a new HTC HD2 device with ROM Version 1.43.405.1 (70124) WWE. The phone works wonders in all departments (calling, surfing, mailing, etc) but I have one issue since earlier today...
Situation: I installed the SWYPE software for windows mobiles. It is a great piece of software - really ask anyone who has used it - I got addicted to it within seconds to tell you the truth.
Issue: After successful installation and choosing SWYPE as the keyboard, the system works for a few minutes then eventually freezes and has to be reset.
Question: Anyone been through this mini-nightmare? I call it this because for a while I was very happy since my dream came true but it was short lived. Now I have to resist from using SWYPE and all seems ok...
Please do help me out here... I want to really start swyping on my new phone but there seems to be an issue that needs to be addressed
Is this a ROM related issue, a hardware related issue or a software related issue? WHat is the solution?
What software have you got installed on the device? Also have you installed Memmaid yet to auto clear your memory and notifications queue which can also cause lockups?
I am using Swype with no issues at all. Having said that I'm on ROM 1.48 but I don't see why the rom version should be relevant here (I could be wrong).
Will try and keep my eye on this thread but pm me if you need further help.
WB
Firsy and fpremost thanks for your super quick response.
Now, I don't use memmaid but CleanRAM, which works pretty well without issues. Not sure it's a good idea to use more than 1 memory management software. I've replied to your post using my hd2 but this time not using the swype software and guess what... no crashes.
I'm about to try and uninstal & reinstall SWYPE to restablish whether that helps...
I am getting occasional and intermittent lock ups which I have to admit I am attributing to Swype. I had it installed a few weeks back and had a few lock ups but until installing the sensitivity 3.2 CAB recently I found it hard to work with so took it off. The lock ups effectively stopped.
After installing the screen sensitivity fix I decided to give it another go as I liked the concept. This time it is unutterably brilliant, especially for longer and more complex words - staggeringly good...seriously. The speed I can manage is astonishing.
However, I'm back to experiencing occasional lock ups - perhaps one every two or three days.
I'm about to look at updating my ROM with a custom one and have no plans to ditch Swype.
I'm sorry I can't offer anything more helpful by way of a solution, but I can at least confirm that there may be an issue there. I'll report back if anything interesting happens post-ROM upgrade.
Hmm,
Don't know much about Clean Ram but I would advice a tool that cleans the ram AND the notification queues, etc.
Re Swype, are you sure you have installed the version for the HD2, ie WVGA? Also have you set Swype to be your default keyboard using a utility called Sip Change to be found here on XDA?
WB
Would really appreciate your posting the links to the mentioned versions of swype and tools required... I've just uninstalled SWAYPE and will install the correct version & required tools too as soon as you post the links and test the mobile out before going to bed.
Look in the Development & Hacking forum. Actually, better still, use this to search the whole of XDA...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=598952
Works pretty well. You are Looking for "Sip Change" and "Swype WVGA". If you can't find them let me know and I will see what I can do tomorrow.

Thanks for your feedback. We seem to have a few things in common. They include...
1. Installation of SWYPE resulting in freezing the HD2 (or lockups if you prefer)
2. Uninstalling does stabilise the device HD2
Well, as far as I'm concerned there might be a problem here, but then our friend wacky.banana confirmed that swype works well on his HD2...so why ont on our's?
I have a mission...getting to the bottom of this mystery...
I can confirm that swype work great on my HD2 also, I'm runniing swype, sipchange, sense & spbshell together, and though not really stable (a reboot every couple of days) works fine most of the time. The reboots are probably not as a result of swype, it just appears it's common with windows phones, and somehting I'll have to live with. Stability is a BIG issue, especially when compared to my old iphone, in 18 months that needed a reboot less than 10 times, the hd2 needs that or more in a month.
Ok... just installed the wvga version of swype one the xda site and this text is typed... oopsswyped using the software. Now all I have too do is play with the device and find out what happens next...
Will keep you guys posted...
Thanks for your reactions so far...
Alright guys here is the next installment of my monolog... lol
The tips by wacky.banana helped so far. I've managed to install the wvga version of swype followed by the sip change tool. The result is a greater degree of stability after an initial few minutes of nutty behavior by the device. Once I rebooted the mobile things stabilized.
The first battle has been won it would seem.Now we play the waiting game again...
All's well that ends well or a delayed case of disappointment? Only time will tell.
SlidezIT... Hmmm sounds like an option but before I embark on the adventure this is a demo version that dies on you (ends) after a trial period right?
10dulkar,
Now that you have got it working I strongly suggest that you invest in Memmaid to manage your notification queue. If you have any more strange lock-ups it will almost certainly be down to that unless you have installed some incompatible/unstable software that causes you problems.
PM me if you want to know how to set it up.
WB
E Nm,
Thanks for the tip/advice. Currently the device is stable with rom 1.43 (the original that the mobile came with) and cleanRAM works wonders; all this with swype installed of course.
They say, if it ain't broken don't fix it! Enough said really...
Thanks to you all your help and wish you ask lots of fun with you mobiles and a happy new year...
I have a problem with the Swype keyboard not loading sometimes, and also locking out the little keyboard button, so I can not change my input keyboard. NOTE - the phone is operational other than this.
I am convinced it is Swype causing this, as when I have TouchPal set as my keyboard I do not get this issue - however after using Swype, it's really hard to go back to a 'tapping' keyboard, it's so SLOW. Does anyone think installing SipChange will fix this problem, or are there any similar keyboards out there that challenge Swype?
Swype is a bad idea in general for the HD2. I'm completely locked out of mine and can't even do a hard reset.
That's probably due to you installing leaked versions from other devices. You can register for a Beta release of Swype on their website, as I think they intend to release it soon as a standalone app.
i got the us hd2 from tmo which comes preloaded with swype and i can say that texts in general seem to be an issue but mostly when swype is turned on.
if i get too many texts at once and try to use the messaging app it can freeze up sense but i am able to get into the start menu.
sometimes even if just one message comes in if i type to quickly with swype it does the same.
im blaming the combo of swype and the sense messaging app
Freeze issue cause
Strangest thing.
I too love swype.
I've tried TMOUS 2.10 stock, Duttys, HTC-like swype, PPC Geeks TMOUS extracted swype.
All give me issues of freezing etc, especially when in text msgs.
HOWEVER, in TMOUS stock rom, when frozen, if I take out the 16Gb sd card, instant unfreeze???
I put in an older 2Gb sd card, and no problems!!!
Deleting application data on 16Gb sd does not help.
Am doing more experiments.

Swype is amazing .. when it works.
i have tried the v2 version and experienced issues with camera (which i can only assume are because of swype as i havent had the issue since not using that version) which stopped the cam from initialising then eventually cam resetting to defaults?? with low res and white screen when taken a picture - since no solution was available i had to hard reset (this happened about 4 times)
i then installed (and still use) the version 3.9 and the camera issue no longer exists however a really annoying bug occurs sometimes the keyboard takes a long time to work, if i go to reply to a text and the convo is quite big, swype will not let me reply untill its fully loaded the texts (im assuming this.. its very similar to what sms txting was like b4 the sms fix update) if i switch to any other keyboard i can type fine , switch back and still have to wait.
i heard SwipeIT was almost identical, and thus went and bought it (maybe i should have tried the demo) and im not impressed, swype is far superior. im used to doing the loop for repeated chars and you dont do that on swipeIT (if you do it gets confused) , swype gets 99% of what i type and swipeIT seems to not understand more than it does. however swipeIT does not have the bug for sms convo replies so i keep it installed (that and i payed for it so its staying haha)
i accidently installed v2 of swype yesterday when i hardreset and tested the sms and was so happy that the bug was gone (As i didnt realise it was v2) , im tempted to put v2 back on and risk the camera bug
rant over ha
So I've been investigating into some recent issues I've been having with apps not staying open i.e. couldn't even keep one app open in the background, and home would reload every time I visited it from anything but the lightest apps. I didn't want to try any RAM Hack ROMs because I run 3D games quite a lot.
I'm using Blue Magic and I found out that both Swype and HTC Touch Input use 12-18MB of RAM even when in the background (according to Astro Process Manager). Since disabling them I've found things to be much snappier. I barely used them anyway. Has anyone else disabled soft keyboards for performance reasons?
don't mean to be an a$$ but i think most people know this, I for one, have my android keyboard set to ignored because i always use it, and have other keyboards disabled, as i don't use them, and i use ram hack, and i have a happy 45-50mb ram when everything is closed, i also have swap, and for the hell of it i've tested how many apps i can have open at one point, and they are news and weather, browser, opera, market, world war, phone, messaging, google talk, all of that open, and switching in between, none of them ever restarted, of course my phone was a little slower, but well thats the price you pay, our hardware is sorta outdated, but if you know how to boost it, it will help a lot, i got a 96swap
You have a point but I would never have thought that the keyboards would be such RAM hogs, especially when in the background, and it helps me a lot because I prefer to run without swap. So I thought I'd mention it in case people who don't really use them but haven't disabled them would like to give it a try.

Add up all the memory reported as used by astro. Compare that with the ACTUAL memory. Notice something funny about it? More memory in use than total memory?
Congrats. You have just become acquainted with VIRTUAL MEMORY. (not to be confused with swap space, which is very different).
I never noticed my G1 being any slower with the HTC IME running.
if there was a way to permanently disable Google Enhanced Search and Quick Search Box, that'll be another 10mb of Ram easily.
Hi
I have done the 1-click lagfix that relies on ext2.
I have also installet autokill (the one that changes the internals of the system)
I have 2200 point in qualcom.
STILL I have massive lagg now. It started out well after the rooting, but now its worse than ever. In fact I have even failed to answer a call due to the lagging.
(I have installed Tasker and have 4 tasks set up, i really hope this is not the reason because I would really miss tasker)
I can notice a big differense if I start the dialer and press Home istead of Back. Assuming Back actually kills the process? If I use Home, I can bring it up again in a split second. Using Back and it an take everything from 300 ms to 4000 ms.
I have now started to experiment with Launcher Pro (who some claims to be faster) but this is actuall just a shell and I cannot dedect any differense.
I have tried different presets in autokill, but since this lag is probably not due to lack of memory, i have now set it to "system default".
Is there a way to keep important processes in memory all the time? Like the dialer, contactbook, sms etc? I dont really care if it takes 500 ms longer to start up google maps or facebook, but the PHONE FEATURES must work properly on the phone.
I run a stockrom JM2
hello, as well as the lag fix, I also disabled ui animations and installed autokiller set to strict or optimum and the lag is now minimal for me, it's still there at times but not as bad as you describe.
ironicly i didnt have this problem before lagfix/autokill. It was there so i decided to run the fix (and the qualcom-score is always cool i thought). But now its worse.
Does anyone have experience with tasker as a performance-killer?
I'm getting quite annoyed at my phone's lack of RAM.
I browse the internet and constantly open new windows (up to the max 4 allowed by the HTC browser, but that's another story) so that I can quickly go back a page when I need to.
If for some reason I go and use a couple of other apps on the phone, and then come back to the browser I constantly find that the oldest 3 pages have dropped completely out of RAM, and the 4th one has as well, and that last one alone loads up again.
This is annoying, time-consuming and messes up my browsing session. Is there some way I can prioritise the browser so that most other apps get killed off before it does?

Try using firefox instead on the defualt browser .its not perfect yet but its getting
better and better with every beta release .
I don't think an alternate browser will help with Android unwantedly killing off processes.
Incidentally, I tried Firefox a couple of months ago and found it to be completely unusable - I take it it's worth checking out again now then?
Another possibility is to set the Android memory manager to be less aggressive in removing things from memory (you can use an app like AutoKiller to change the settings easily---try tweaking the settings to see if helps with your usage model).
I know AutoKiller will also allow you to lower the oom value for the process (the lower the oom, the less likely the memory manager will kill it in the background), but I don't think this will help for the browser (since the OS will dynamically change its oom each time you bring it to the foreground and send it to the background again). If someone knows a way to make the oom value permanently lower, that sounds like exactly what you want.
Maybe someone else has some ideas. I know often times launchers will have the option to keep themselves in memory, and CM6 has the option to keep messaging in memory (more like your situation), so it should be doable.

defo ,its much better now i figured since you were annoyed by 4 tab limit
you might find firefox helpful. because it doesnt have limit or if it does its more than 4 for sure also it has an aption called (your tabs from last time) which again i think
you will find it usefull ,you can also sync it with you pcs firefox too .
EDIT: I just tried it to make sure, even if you reboot your phone
and open firefox again you can just press on (your tabs from last time)
and it will restore them all.
The way I see it there are a few things you can do...
Firstly, you could try a renice script. It does what other people have suggested and changes the oomph value to what you like. It was commonly used on the g1 for the dialer so that you wouldn't miss phone calls lol. Its easy to do if you know the syntax, I would make you one myself if I was near a computer lol.
Another thing you could do is try an aosp/CM based rom, as those generally have much, much lower ram usage compared to sense.
Lastly you could try a different browser. There are so many to choose from I'm sure one will fit your needs.

I use autokiller on my DZ, you have to have root to use this tho... quite satisfied about it, almost all the time 90+ free ram even when doing heavy stuff... quits the unused shizzle...

I HIGHLY recommend Dolphin Browser HD.
It is significantly faster than the stock Browser and I have had no issues with Android closing it down. One feature I like is that there is actually an 'Exit' button in the menu for those individuals who have OCD like me and don't like the Browser running in the background when not wanted.
Thus far, this is the best mobile Browser I have used. That being said, I have not tried Firefox and have been a regular user of Opera Mini in the past on other devices.
You should try miren browser once, i'm using it now instead of dolphin hd, and there is a exit button in the menu to. I think its better styled, it has got all the features of dolphin HD without all the bloating around... no gestures tho
cheers
I think its more of poorly optimized software because im pretty sure that google devs don't even utilize the full 512mb of RAM in 2.2. Chances are its the HTC sense limiting you.

Yeah I don't think this issue is anything to do with a lack of RAM.
I may try another ROM, however I'm just not up for flashing all the time like I used to with my old Desire or G1 before that. I want a 100% working ROM, preferably something that allows overclocking with a kernel that doesn't break stuff.
And I also want my HTC phone dialler/contacts as well, not vanilla or a cheap copy from the Market. Oh, and I hate the vanilla lockscreen - it's just hard to operate compared to the Sense one. I don't know why it's so hard to unlock side to side on Android - the iPhone takes a little flick and it's unlocked - vanilla Android is like a mission to ensure I've dragged it far enough across to unlock.
And I don't want my keyboard or capacitive keys or quick keys mullered up (I am running a Euro DZ).
If these issues can be dealt with easily when setting up the ROM/phone then I'm prepared to devote a little time to doing it.
So - any suggestions, please?
dont use htc sense roms.
I'm running the virtuous sense rom with his advanced kernel, ive ran the normal rom about 2 weeks, and ive yet to see differences other then a huuuuuuuge speed increase... i would just try it once if i were you its such a relieve...
I played with the latest over the weekend. I ended up uninstalling it. I'd hit a page with scripting and then firefox would lock up and crash.
Web2Go isn't perfect, but at least it doesn't crash as often.
This has nothing to do with RAM. This phone handles RAM just fine. Use Miren and thank me later. It's the best browser by far!

No text reflow = showstopper.
Unless I'm just being blind, I can't find any way to enable this in the settings for Miren.
It's sense. Sense roms use way more RAM than vanilla roms do. Also check out dolphin HD or dolphin mini browser.
Another issue I'm having which points to lack of RAM (whether this is due to Sense sucking it all up or not) is that programs do not stay in in RAM for that long, ie I go away from an app then return after using a few other apps (not massive games or anything) and when I return the first app's UI has been kicked out of memory and has to load up again, causing anything between a momentary (dialler, mesaging) to an annoyingly long (browser, maps, market) white screen, as data is downloaded again.
People talk a lot of sh*t about the iPhone, but cacheing (caching? sp?) a copy of the last screen for each app before it's closed so you instantly get a visual image of the UI of the app following the opening animation is a pretty good idea IMO.
Has anyone here used the Desire HD? I would think with the 768MB of RAM on that badboy this would be less of a problem.

I've now installed Enomther's Official rom - what a difference to the speed of the phone! It absolutely flies, even when clocked at a lower CPU speed, and it appears to retain stuff in memory a lot better than the standard Sense rom. Also, there's over 100MB more of free RAM afte a fresh boot.
I'm definitely sold on the efficiency of stock Android, but I'm now missing some of my HTC goodies... I don't think anyone can deny that the HTC dialler is a different level to the rudimentary Android one. And I am missing my HTC browser - that seems a bit smoother, and the text reflow is more reliable, the stock browser seems a bit temperamental on that front.
Other than that, I can live without all the other Sense stuff. So my next question is, can the dialler and browser be installed on my new rom? Do they have any dependencies which would prevent me using them? How would I go about ripping the apps from the HTC rom? I'm an ADB noob so I need some kind expert to tell me how
what about the German language
very very nice ROM
humm.. I think you'll have no choice of using Elelinux rom to have multi-language support like I had to do for French due to it's rom based Decked_X who is just available in English..
I have been using this ROM for a little while now and find it to be both fast and stable. A really great job by the developer 1ceb0x, for which I would like to express my thanks.
One small issue I have yet to sort out and that is one of awful keyboard lag. I use Handcent SMS for messaging and am wondering if anyone else is using this app and suffering the same problem? I haven't worked out if it is just this app, or a combination of this app and the installed keyboard yet, but if anyone else has had a similar experience that they have managed to resolve, or can suggest tweaks to try I would be grateful to hear. I really would like to stick with Handcent, if possible.
For anyone who has not tried this ROM, I would recommend they do; it really is a great everyday ROM.

As far as I know, the keyboard lag should be gone in the latest version which is 3.5. However, it was only tested using stock keyboard and stock mms app. If you are having low ram, this could be your problem (or an app is keeping your cpu at 100%) - though the first issue should not occur because the kernel is tweaked to kill apps when mem. is lower than 60 - so basically you will always have 40-50 mb free every time.
Thank you guys for your support and for using my rom, it is really a great pleasure to see how many users have it as a daily driver. Thanks again!

I was just about to install this ROM, but I don't need German
I am writing mainly in response to a post by buba_shrimp in the development forum (I do not have sufficient privileges to post there), but also for my own benefit, as I am seeking assistance for the same issue.
In the early days of having my Hero (stock rom) I found GPS to work flawlessly, up until passing the installation of any google maps release past 5.5.0, when bad things started to happen. I have stayed at this release ever since.
Just prior becoming Shpongled, GPS became a nightmare; tried all sorts of stuff, but nothing seemed to help. I came to the conclusion that the hardware was failing and left it as that. That was until the day that I maintained the gps config file from US to UK/European server settings and lo and behold not only did the phone lock my position lightning fast, but all the other problems vanished too.
On moving to this rom, the first thing I did was implementing my replacement gps.conf and continued to get excellent gps performance – most of the time.
The phone now seems to operate in one of two modes; it either gets a good lock in seconds and performs flawlessly, or the gps connection circle spins for and age followed usually by the phone rebooting itself (I think just as it seems to locate its position, though I’m not quite sure just).
I have posted earlier that I am getting bad keyboard lag too, but now realise that this is a hit and miss affair also, as I only get this some of the time.
Anyone have any idea as to how I can debug the phone when it is experiencing these issues, e.g. any free logging tools or other such monitoring software that may help? Or, suggestions as to things I might try? Was glad to see buba_shrimp was suffering a similar problem – not in a gloating way, in a problem-shared-is-a-problem-halved kinda way.

I know how to do this, I just don't have the experience to know what I should be looking for.
Ideally I was really hoping for, I guess, is that someone else has suffered these same issues and has a solution.
My question about usefull tools was along the lines of some sort of app that records resource usage over time, to allow for analysis of conflicts, or similar. Anything like this exist? Or is there a better way? The adb logcat is a little too low-level for me I think, unless someone can help me with pointers as to what I should be looking for.
Thanks folks.
Very nice rom, very fast, but .. (sorry for lang)
every app or game in my Hero lags in fews minutes with error " [Application] is not responsive " .. only thing what i can do is tap " Force close " button .. so each game is not playable (gameboid mainly), or i cant read comics, or whatever else ^^ any solutions?
thanks for help guys
Nice and fast ROM

it is a great expense to import the German language in the ROM?
I would like to have it in German.

It would need to be build from source to get german language in it. So yes, it is a great expense since it needs:
a powerful computer
time
space
i'm so sorry for not being able to provide you guys this rom in other languages. i know i have lost some of you because of this issue but i cannot do anything for it. i can build it from source in a way or the other but it will loose the great speed of decked_x base rom.
thank you for using it thought.
Very nice from, I have the stop responding error too but works clicking wait lets me continue without losing anything.

Do Shpongle ROM need swap partition on SD card??
Just a little question: what kind of partition do Shpongle ver 3.7 need on SD card??
I mean: is it necessary to have a little swap partition (60-120MB) ?
PS: version 3.7 is really strong, but I'm waiting for a next and better release
Dont use swap partitions...

In the last release of Elelinux it is required a swap partition greater than 60 MB and an additional Ext4 partition (maybe for app2SD..??).
I know that Shpongle ROM is not Elelinux (there are differences, I suppose), but.. is there any reason for not to installing swap partition or it's just your personal experience??
Thanks..
It's just slower on every rom, based on user and dev opinions...
How can cyanogenmod and cronos have multilanguage support but not Shpongle?
Have they written the rom in every single language?
