Its been posted in a few different places that that's actually a battery from an Evo. :/

Can anyone tell me why when I restart my evo,all icons on home screen are gone?
Do you use LauncherPro?

No sir.The ROM is XXXbabiboi.
It just happens sometimes and sometimes it does`nt.
Damn, my thought was that when you boot up, you boot into Sense without icons.
thats really strange. Did you flash the rom properly? wipe all the caches and all that?

Wiped 3 times dalv,cache and data with RA 1.8 for evo before flash of Rom.
I have been running rom for a month with no issues and out of the blue this happened.So I placed icons back and was able to reproduce the effect 2 more times today.
Weird,but electronics are odd like that.
Do to use appstosd at all? That used to happen to me when I was using it.

I had this happen to me today. EVO was activated last night around 5pm, rebooted for some reason at work this morning and no icons. Rebooted again and they were back.
My EVO is still stock, is the ROM you're running Sense based? If so, Sense might be the culprit?
I'm not paying too much attention to glitches until I root and Warm up my EVO with Myn's RLS5.

It could be that some EVO just have issues.I have 2,one for personal and one for my business.The business Evo which I only flashed Calks and this babiboi on is the one with the issue and my personal Evo which I have flashed 20 times has no issues but one and it was related to Myns add on for Miks Rom which showed a brief moment of Warm boot animation and switched to Miks animation shortly after.

What's up everyone! just needed some advice if you don't mind. lately my phone's been freezing randomly, and it seems like my battery life has been getting crappier..
was wondering if I should just Odin back to stock and re-flash everything, do you think that would cure my ills?
I started with my first ROM -- srf1.1.0 and loved it... tried the vision kernel 1.1, tried genocide 1.0... LOVED vision 1.2 but went back to 1.1 because ppl started getting bricks..
i don't know if it's data corruption (have journalling off), or if it's like artifacts from vision kernel 1.2 (it didn't give me any problems, honestly my fav kernel with insane battery life it seemed)
yesterday i restored a back up that was pre-ext4.. and it when that rebooted i had the "android" flashing over the original sprint bootup animation, so i rebooted and got thrown into a boot loop. pulled battery, booted into cwm and restored into a more recent backup that was post-ext4 and things seem to be fine.. except i've gotten maybe two random freezes since.
so yea, do you think Odin to stock and reflashing srf will bring me back to bliss, or.. am i screwed, or somewhere in between? i've read as much as i could but i know i'm a newb, so i'm grateful for any wisdom y'all can throw my way. THANKS!
This is more then likely a kernel based problem,but you can try using setcpu and limit your min. clock speed to 200mhz not 100mhz,this has helped several people ; My phone loves 100mhz,never had a freeze while using that clock speed,but each phone is diffrent,and might I suggest using Twilight Zone 1.0.4,awesome kernel...

thanks! i will look into using that kernel!
Ya my phone just flatout locked up on me twice within 5 minutes. The second time th screen went bright yellowish tint with an artifact white line running across the screen. Good times.

My phone does this too. Screen goes static washed out yellow looking with artifact down the screen. Have to battery pull to fix it, no overclocking or undervolting. Getting ready to odin and reflash myself.

Yea I'm about to brick it purposely and get it replaced. I reflashed and still the same. It just locked up on me while changing wallpapers?

Also I had full battery about 3 hours ago. Now I'm sitting at 18%. ...and they say I'm stupid for wanting a nexus s lol
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Are any of you overclocking or undervolting? This will cause data corruption and freezing. I get it all the time at 1.3Ghz but not at 1.2Ghz. Every phone is different.
Do you BONSAI?
Mine did this last week, but I had reverted to rfs on 2.5.1 running Gingerbread that has some issues. When trying to put everything back (couldn't just run backup since I had changed systems), it took a day, stuck loops, stuck nothing, stuck Samsung, etc.
Read how to fix bricked phone, back to EC05, re-rooted, re did cwm 3.0, reflashed Syndicate, now everything smooth again.
I was kicking myself in the a-s for doing that, so hopefully this would help and save you a days worth of problems. Just find that link, read and follow
yea i just odin'd back to sock EB13, went to the EC05 through ODIN, reflashed SRF1.1.0 and everything's been GREAT since... getting superb battery life like i was on the vision 1.2 kernel.. weird, but i'll take it.
What version of ec05 are you guys odining back to? The version I have (EC05 FULL) was causing me all the issues I had. Instead I odined to stock eb13 and upgraded to ec05 ota. Since then im back on midNIGHT [email protected] w/ midnight honeycomb theme and I have to say this thing has never been speedier, or more stable than it is now. Also, I tried to redownload ec05 from the midnight android dev page and I get a corrupt file error when trying to unzip the .tar from the ec05 rar. I feel if ANYONE has any issues, before they blame the kernel I suggest starting from scratch on eb13. Not one freeze yet, no artifacts, no lag, no horrid battery draining. Life is good

I do that often, I just run an Odin back to DI18, upgrade to ec05 over OTA, then reflash the ROM I wanted. It brings my phone back up to full speed.

any particular reason by DI18 rather than EB13?
i think i've read in some other threads that it seems DI28 and DK28 are better somehow.. is that true?
so much that i've learned compared to when i was first starting to research what rooting meant.. and yet, still so much more to learn!
For some reason my EVO keeps restarting randomly on me, and all the time too.
I'm running CM7 7.0.3.1 and savaged zen 2.2.0, and I have an extended battery and I rum juicedefender.
Now I don't think its the battery because I've had it for month
Its most like savagedzen 2.2.0 but idk maybe its CM7 too.
I think this started after I started playing words with friends. Doesn't seem like a memory intense app and I never had this happen but lately its been rebooting randomly, like I'm download from the market. Internet, and even posting this thread!
Basically I'm thinking of switching to either virusrom or Mik, which is better?
Sent from my dope fly fresh EVO
my chick is having the same issue. hers just reboots at random after starting to use her pandora app about a week ago.
her evo is running:
Mod version: CyanogenMod-7.0.3.1-Supersonic
Kernel version: [email protected]#1
Ditto
I have same problem, and have tried various ROM's, most recently a complete wipe as per Mikroms instructions. Only pattern I can make out is it tends to start when the CPU is stretched a little, such as running Tango over 3G, or even Angry Birds for over ten minutes. Once it starts though, it reboots several times before it finally quits.
There was another thread on this, but no solutions, instead it turned into an argument over whether it is CM7 fault; not very constructive. I have tried different batteries and changed up CPU speeds, still to no benefit.
Like I said, if I don't tax the system I have no problems, and that so far has been my only solution, but a disappointing experience with my Evo.
My dad's kept rebooting too even after the gingerbread OTA. He is running a bone stock phone(not even rooted)
Wife is having the same issue on her stock EVO with the new OTA
same issue here, playing WWF,stupid zombies or surfing the web. on decks rom and on the gingerbread 2.3 stock.
Apparently, this is a common problem with the EVO. Mine started as soon as I accepted the recent OTA update. There is an XDA thread somewhere. Just do a Google search.
Same here & 2 of my other friends. I am on my 3 or 4 EVO (lost count) & everyone does it. This is only one I rooted as well. I noticed it does it less (once every few weeks to a month) with a custom non cm rom. Also restart your phone at least every couple of days (usually I did every day). It works out pretty well. What I tell my friends don't hesitate to tell sprint you have a issue so it gets documented. So you have proof to fall back on when you had enough. It's not like you pulling one over on them. They see if you have all these issues for so long why just now saying so. I have found that for some reason phone resets in middle of calls multiple times same day with certain Bluetooths. I drive truck for living so I on phone alot with customers/work/friends/family/etc. Always Bluetooth, and did up to 5 times a day. Then bought one top of line (jawbone icon &now Bose) and doesn't do it like that anymore. Hope this helps any of you. & again any issues you get tell sprint. Last time I got a new EVO in box, & they let me keep my old one. So gave it to my mother. Then had it replaced under her #.

Mine started out with a reboot
every so often. It finally got so bad it would reboot over and over until I pulled the battery for a few. Somewhere in the process, my GPS crapped out as well. It would work for a few minutes and then freeze. Not a good thing when you are not from Boston and trying to navigate 8am traffic to get somewhere.
I got a refurb as a replacement. It was in perfect shape and only had like 111 minutes of talk time. No telling why it was sent back but I've had no issues with it.
Mine is doing this too.. its annoying Ive restored backups and it just keeps rebooting, i dont know whats wrong. Im on avaFroyo 2.2
I don't remember where but there is a thread about this very topic. From what I read this was attributed to a corrupt data partition. My gf phone is starting to have this problem. Only fix I have read so far is to reroot phone and take it to sprint. I am waiting til they can root the ota. Then I will unroot her phone and get a new one.

I've had my Droid 2 since about last November and I completely love it. I rooted after about 2 months of ownership, and never went back. A first (disasterous) attempt to flash CM7 nightlies that forced me to sbf turned me away from ROMing for awhile, but since then I've fun liberty 2.01 and 2.08 (gb based), Liquid Smooth ROM (battery life wasn't good enough for me), and I'm currently running ApeX, which I love. I'm overclocked to 1.15 ulv, use setcpu for profiles, and running a good amount of tasker profiles.
I was just wondering if anyone else had any good/bad expieriences and wanted to share? Any favorite ROM? Tale of woe?

I've had mine about a year now and I've totally loved it. It was my first Android/smartphone and I'm so glad I went with the Droid 2. Rooted when 1 click was available and rocked Fission for the longest. CM7 is doing be good for about 1 month now and will probably stick with it.
How's the battery life on CM7? Because I used Liquid smooth for awhile (cm7 based)and it sucked

It's still in the beta phase and supposedly there is a battery fix, but I haven't applied the new update since it was bootlooping. I have a extended battery and my battery life normally lasts 30 hrs.
i have my droid since September (almost a year!) its a good phone i rooted it with z4root. i never changed a rom b/c it erases all the data. but i really hate the restarted and the low battery life.
I've had my Droid 2 for 10 months and though it runs fantastic there are some minor annoyances.
Ive had my phone since october of last year. I got it for a single penny during amazons holiday sale. I love the phone its quite nice for how much I payed. I rooted with z4root and use many rooted apps. I hadn't tried other roms because of the locked bootloader. It just makes it kinda pointless to me without being able to have a custom kernel.
The stock rom isnt to bad once you get a few progs to spice up the ui.
I use many Go products.
The launcher, the messenger, calender widget. For battery life I use batterydefender beta which took me from like 6 hours tops idling to like 12+ so im cool with that. Great phone.
The GB leak and roms based off of it is great, id reccomend highly.
