Ok so i started this thread as a result of what happen to me. He is my story, i was on Bionix Fusion 1.1 w/Voodoo and of course i had that backed up along with Bionix 1.9.1 w/Voodoo and JI6 w/One Click Lag Fix. I was having issues with a app (Beautiful Widgets) where i was trying to have the weather how up on the notification bar but it would not come up automatically unless you went into the app and selected "save & apply" every singe time, very anoying. I contacted the developer of the app and the last thing he asked was if i was running the stock launcher. Since Fusion uses Launcherpro i decided to restore my JI6 w/One Click Lag Fix. To my shock when i ran the restore i ended up on Android System Recovery and could not get pass that even if i tried using the other 2 restore points (Bionix Fusion 1.1 w/Voodoo, Bionix 1.9.1 w/Voodoo).
I posted my problem in the Q&A section hoping for a solution but of course i got nothing back, so i found a thread regarding someone being stuck on the Android System Recovery screen just like me. It was mentioned to use Eugenes Froyo that does not brick and then flash the stock JFD rom. After many attempts i finally got my phone up and running but little did i realize that my entire phone got wiped clean, meaning i lost all my songs (over 100) 2 .avi movies, a few wallpapers and all the different Roms and Mods i had installed. Basically my phone ended up just when i first bought it. I was very upset i lost everything but glad that i got my phone up and running again..
So what to do to avoid this? when doing a back up using CWR and if you are running Voodoo, MAKE SURE YOU DISABLE VOODOO BEFORE BACKING ANYTHING AND THEN SAME THING GOES FOR WHEN RESTORING, MAKE SURE VOODOO IS DISABLE. I believe this is a very important point to note but no one has ever mentioned it anywhere in the forum. Yes they advise to do backups before doing anything, they advise to disable Voodoo before flashing anything but never this. If i had known this i wouldn't have spent hours freaking out and wondering what was wrong and looking all over the place and waiting for someone to help me out.
Now i have to spend more time installing everything that i lost and getting my phone back to the way i had it before this happened. I hope this helps and that maybe it goes up in the sticky so people can easily find it.
I would like to thank jdkackley for bring up the fact that Voodoo needs to be disabled while backing and restoring.
P.S. i still can not get the weather to come up automatically on the notification bar, still in constant contact with the dev of Beautiful Widgets app.
I'm assuming you checked "Temperature Notification" in settings.... You didn't say. Are you restoring app + data each time you flash a new rom and not changing the settings of BW's?
I dont understand why you would need to keep going in and clicking save and apply... have you deleted the app, and the downloaded it again?

Yes i did click the "Temperature Notification" and still nothing, every time i restart my phone i wait about 10 minutes and nothing so i have to go into the app and click save & apply, i have also un-installed and re-installed the app and same issues. Thank you for your insight, i still have not heard from the dev in regards to me running the app on the stock launcher so i just have to wait and see what he/she says.
But the main reason of the thread was because it has not been mentioned about how to properly backup/restore if you are running Voodoo.
Do you have any apps like a task manager or autostarts?

only task manager i have is the one that came with the Fusion 1.1 rom nothing else and no auto starts.
EDIT: ok it seems to be working but i only get the temperature in the notification bar about 10-15 minutes after the phone is turned on and is finished with the boot sequence, i thought it should come on automatically. E-mailed the dev on this and waiting for a reply.
I just turned on the notification bar temp... rebooted.
It took about 4 minutes and the temp is showing up.
I have autostarts installed which prevents a lot of apps from opening on boot. Not sure if that helped with my better time. I also have BW set to refresh on wake (and the automatic refresh is like 8 hours or something long).
A great developer... I'm sure he can figure it out. You may want to ask if a logcat is needed... you may want to try an app like autostarts too (free for the 24 hour window, cant hurt).

ok been keeping an eye on my phone since my last reboot 2:10 local time and it is now 2:25 local time and still nothing so i guess we can disregard my edit from last post. i will try the refresh on wake and see what happens.
EDIT: well my phone has been up for 7 minutes and still nothing, very aggravating. just have to wait on the dev.

I installed the Helix Launched and played with it for a bit but decided that I wanted to go back to the stock home/launcher. So I uninstalled Helix, rebooted and chose the default home/launcher when prompted.
Ever since then, my clock won't auto update. If I lock the phone and unlock 30 min later, the clock will be 30 min behind.
My only guess is that is that time update code that was linked to the stock home/launcher got severed when I installed Helix.
Now, the only instance where my time is correct is immediately after reboot. After that it won't update while the screen is off.
Before someone suggests it, I've already uninstalled my app killer (StartUp Auditor) but it had no effect.
Any ideas other than re-installing the OS?
UPDATE: Just realized that nothing on the my home screens are updating. Time (top right and widget), Data counter widget, Juice defender widget, timescape). The only time they update is if I go into them. That never used to be the case.
try factory reset to see what happen.
Ya, I was trying to avoid that. I'm hoping there's an option to fix the prob vs starting from scratch.
I have been going back and forth between helix and others, and have never experienced that problem. Have you tried removing the widgets and re-adding them?

I have the same problem..
Max, I was impatient and did a system reset and it fixed the problem. Installed all the apps again and I'm good to go. Annoying but at least I'm back with a real-time clock. LOL. Funny concept, eh? I'm getting a full day on the phone with one charge so I'm going to stick with the stock home and hope that SE's software/firmware fixes will help with the speed/battery life like they've said.

Sorry, not following you there. I tried uninstalling apps that I thought may cause the problem and rebooted a few times to see if that helped. Not luck. After the reset, all is well in X10 land.
So my wife and myself both have the Fascinate. Both are running JT's 1.2 Kernel, both running LauncherPro, similar apps, etc.
She's been IMing me this morning letting me know that her phone is running really really slow, like it takes more than a few seconds for her to type keys for a text message.
I've had her do a couple restarts and battery pulls, but that doesn't seem to be doing anything yet.
Until I get home to check it out and see what's going on, is there anything I should look into that would cause such crappy performance?
Thanks in advance.
Autokiller doesn't seem to play nicely sometimes, if you have that installed.

Yea, until I can actually get the phone's in my hands, I have no idea. There is a chance she might have downloaded or installed something that caused her phone to wig out, she probably would have told me if she did though.
I also won't know more until she starts texting me back too. lol
You're running the voodoo kernel right? If so, the general consensus here is that the build of Voodoo that's in the currently released kernels (like JT's 1.2), slows down with use. I saw this myself. It negated most of the performance benefit of voodoo with time.
A temporary solution, is to wipe cache. I normally did a wipe davlik and normal cache, thru CWM. That speeds it up again, until it slows down, or so it seems... Hard to get definite answers on most of this stuff that don't go over my head.

There are a lot of factors that go into performance, and slow is something I refuse to tolerate. Lol. I don't know what your comfort level is with the various processes, but if I were unable to find the culprit, I would probably rebuild.
This would mean complete voodoo uninstall via adrenalynes thread instructions, and Odin to stock.
Reroot
Apply CWM
Either remove all unwanted bloatware, or just install one of the several roms. I'm running Jt's super clean without issue.
Theme and mod if desired
Once you're situated to your content, Voodoo. I recommend making that the last step.
I run SetCPU on custom, specific to the kernel you're using, and use Juice Defender beta, autorunkiller and auto killer with and aggressive main profile and an ultimate secondary.
I do also make it a habit to reboot once a day, just because Android in general seems to like that.
I don't tend to keep any touchwiz I don't use, including the launcher. It's bulky in and of itself. It can be replaced by dropping your launcher of choice in the /system /app directory, and then freezing, renaming, or removing it.
I know this isn't a correct response to your initial question, but there are so many factors that could be causing your issue, I thought I would share what works for me. Until I occasionally decide to experiment and bork my phone, this process always gives me a perfectly smooth, incredibly responsive device with no FC, lag, slow down, or other issues, and battery is at least 16 hours of high use.
My GF kept her touchwiz launcher, widgets, and wallpapers, but otherwise has the same set up, and she's been running liquid smooth for a month.
If your problem goes away after installing something, disregard this post. Lol. Every device is a little different.

This happened to me a few times with my Incredible. It was enough of a pain that i ended up uninstalling it and my phone stopped having mysterious slow downs.
I'm hoping my Fascinate has better luck with over-clocking than the incredible did... SetCPU makes me miss Govnah and the uberkernel from my Pre+

Yea I've tried like 20 roms.always locks up and force closes after reboot. Sometime it sits for like 5 mins before the fc message pops up. I have the plus version and running Axura 2.2.7.1 Voodoo.contacted tech support about it and he said that its my rom.can't be. tried 20 different Roms.pisses me off.

I have had this happen a couple of times as well. However, I have noticed that it only happens when I try to start opening things or moving between home screens before the media scanning has finished. If I let it do its thing, then it doesn't seem to hang ever. Still kind of annoying, and I don't know if that is the case with you all as well, but that seems to be what causes it on mine.

Nope because I always wait till the media scanner is done.but it still locks up and a fc message pops up.even let it sit for like 20 mins before but was still stuck until it errored out and fc again.they need to fix the dam bug.I even got the plus version.

LP runs fine for me, but I'm having a problem having it stick as the default launcher. Whenever I use Titanium Backup or long-press the home button, I'll get the prompt asking me which home application. There are a couple of other apps that result in the same problem, but I can't think of them off the top of my head. I've tried using Home Switcher to see if that fixes it, but no luck. I have the same problem with ADW EX.
This is happening to me as well.
If it locks up, try repeatedly hitting home, usually will give me a prompt to wait or fc. I never get this issue on my galaxy tab and it's running 2.2

When lp acts funny for me I hit the power button then unlock it and that usually works for me.
LauncherPro has worked great on my device with 2.2 (Nero V5) the only time I seem to notice anything is when the media scan is finishing its thing and there are to many apps running at start up in the background. I use advance task killer to kill the apps that do not need to be running and I never seem to have the problem again until I reboot. It doesn't seem to me to be a LauncherPro issue, media scan seems to bring the device to its knees until it is finished. Once my device is running smooth I never seem to have that issue again only after I reboot my device.
Love my Vibrant and LauncherPro Plus is far better then all the other Launchers I have tried (in my humble opinion) but each of us have different needs I guess. I actually use almost everyone of the widgets and can not wait for the update coming when the gmail widget will be added to the Launcher.
cheers

I was using Nero5 and got the same problem FC alot in LauncherPro. I couldn't save the LP settings though. What seemed to fix it is removing LP and reinstall it. After that, things seem to work better and less FC with LP.
I'm using stock Froyo now with fresh LP install from the market, no FC so far. So I would say it's not LP always hanged in 2.2...but something is stuck or got carried over from previous installation/ROM. Just try remove it and reinstall LP again from Market, it should work better - at least for me, it did.

Same thing happens to mu phone on adw ex... when i turn my phone off and turn it back on, the screen goea blank, i can only see the notification bar scanning, but would hang on black screen then shuts off by itself.. that's with stock ka7.. now im on ka6 kies version and my phone is fine...
or maybe the cause was the lock screen? I used the pin code lock screen.. it could be it? Now im on ka6 official and with pattern lock screen, it seems fine... and i domt wanna try and use any other lock screen besides the pattern one. Ive done countless reflash because o this issue.. so no more flashing, lol.. but i could be wrong though, it could be something else that's causinrit, just speculating..
The only time I've experienced a FC of any kind on LPP, is when I had Colorize running with it. They don't play nice together. Other than that, it's been 100% stable for me with any rom.
I just spent some time trying to figure out what had broken my contacts functionality and this was it. Again, removing "blur_yahoo.apk" and the associated .odex file will break the contacts app. After removal, clicking on a contact in the dialer/contact app will just shut the app down. I've no idea why, since the yahoo app is for yahoo mail.

I noticed that freezing some of the messaging/social services also seems to force close the built-in message app too. If you use something like ChompSMS then it isn't a big deal b/c that still works.

You should probably do some more research before you start messing with that b/c it can brick the OS requiring a full install of the ROM. In this case, if you don't do a restore before removing stuff you'll be restoring the SBF file a lot.
But to answer your question though...the app you want is Titanium Backup Pro (aka the pay version b/c of the "Freeze" option.)

Well since the GB build for the DX just came out, I haven't been able to find a definitive thread anywhere (including on MyDroidWorld) listing what is save to remove or at least freeze. As of right now I think it's safe to say that its going to be a trial and error situation.
There are threads somewhere (droidforums?) about which of the 2.1 and 2.2 apps are safe to remove. While there are some new apps, those that were safe before are still safe. Of the new apps, the blur_yahoo is the only one that's given me trouble. Be warned, though, that while you can remove Backup Assistant and Blur Home, if you do a factory reset from within Android (rather than from clockworkmod), your initial install will break and you'll need to sbf if you can't get back into clockwork.
Also, bluremailengine is needed for blurcalendar to work properly. I remove bluremail, all the third party crap, all the social crap, swipe, and various other things I don't use like universal inbox, widgets, etc. Really, you just need to play with it.

Yea I know about those threads (I have one open right now actually) but since this is a whole new version of Blur & version of Android w/ a lot of changes & new options...who knows what Motorola changed or buried deeper into the system.
Thanks for being the guinea pig though I've never had a reason to use factory reset after a ROM is installed so removing BA & Blur Home isn't a big deal.
One question...have you removed the Messaging & Text Messaging apps at all? I still can't figure out what it was that caused the Text Messaging app to quit on me as soon as it was opened. Not that it's a big deal...b/c ChompSMS worked fine for me

I removed all the messaging crap except the default messaging app (conversations.apk). I use Google Voice so I don't use the default app, but I sent myself a message using it and it worked just fine.
Note: you can do a data wipe/factory reset from within clockwork and you'll be fine.
If someone can produce a list of everything in /system/app (well, just the .apks would do), I can mark the ones I've successfully removed without problems.
Ditto to that...I'd be happy to contribute what I've frozen.

Mine takes about 10-15 seconds from the appearance of the homescreen until it's at full speed. Of course, I've overclocked to 1.2 GHz, debloated, zipaligned, implemented drod's rubix tweaks, and used autostarts to kill unnecessary apps from loading at boot.

Hmm. 10-15 seconds seems a tad excessive then. I'm still running stock speed, LPP 0.8.4.1, debloated most major apps and also used Autostarts to kill some apps at boot (as well as in the Widgets menu)...and while I see a slight lag it's not 10-15 seconds.

You're right. I just timed it. About 38 seconds from red M to full appearance of desktop (I've got the boot animation disabled) and about 25 seconds from full desktop to all widgets loaded and ready to go. I underestimated by 40-60%! I'm using the blur launcher, btw.
Something must be wrong with mine then...because mine lasts a good 3 to 4 minutes...and that seems very long for services to be starting...

I am on lightspeed 2.01 with the latest Thor kernel. I have tried the taboony rom, civato's and a few others but I have never been able to fully stop randomn screen wakeups even sometimes when I have wifi off completely. Is there a way to fully stop it from happening? Thanks in advance.
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
I couldnt say the issue right now, expecially since you have been trying multiple roms. I do know that random screen wake ups were an issue with original a500s until they were updated for stock. I used to have this issue as well until I updated.
However, in your case I would recommend a complete wipe, no memory card, and test with rooted stock rom or rom of your choice. then if issue doesnt happen, put your memory card in and test, and if still working fine then start redownloading and reinstalling what you want.
If it happens even after complete wipe then might be a hardware problem and may eventually have to contact acer.
If you have a "screen on issue", I would point the finger at some downloaded apps, and not necessarily the rom.
It is normal, for a rom, to goto sleep, then immediately wake for a minute, then go to sleep permanently.
If it's waking at intervals after this point, then it is an app issue.

Again as usual Its likely a app that is causing this.. You can install a app called
advanced task manager and make sure you have TI BACKUP INSTALLED.
run the task manager kill all running apps.
DO not let the task manager run in background you can turn it off in its settings.
look at the apps that keep starting themselves after you put it to sleep. IN Ti freeze one of the apps running.
if the trouble continues try another app. go thru all of your apps until you find the app not playing nice.. try checking its settings to stop it from auto updating..
apps that useally do this are like facebook twitter email news apps weather apps and so on .
Good Luck and Happy Diagnostic Fun..
