Just wanting some opinions. I'm using Fresh 0.2 and wondering if its worth it to switch. Thanks for any response.

It's different for sure...do a nandroid of your current setup and play with damage for a while...if you don't like it, restore your nandroid back to fresh and you haven't lost any settings.

Ohh Yeah, Damage made some crazy battery improvement, dont get me wrong, I love Flipz and was using it till two days ago, and found that my battery was running as I was running stock ROM, but now with Damage, last time i charge my phone was last night 10 pm.
Right now it is 5.30pm EST NYC, and still got 52%
GPS running, WIFI, Exchange email, Gvoice, Fring, Android Community, PDAnet, and some others.
Your turn to judge.

It is true dude, I dont know what the heck he did to it, I guess the phone idles so nice now, and to tell you the truth, I even stopped using auto task killers to fully test the ROM.
I use Fresh because I have always followed flipz, and I just trust him more.

Thats the boat I'm in. Switched from Fresh on my Hero and ever since, just...problems.
I'm sure he's got his own kick ass tweaks coming soon anyway. In the meantime, fewer sprint apps is nice.
Both are great. Try them out and make your own decision. Many of the asop like ruins are also nice and so us the froyo port. If you can live without the camera for now that its also a great alternative. Soon enough we will have much more variety.
I'd use damage but there's some problems with it I just can't get past. For now i'm just getting by with one of these till the developer from my old phone puts out one for the evo
Ive had better luck with the Damage ROM then I have with the Fresh ROM. I also think Bugless and Baked ROM's are pretty darn close to Damage as well. The only ROM I had issues with was the Fresh ROM actually
been using Fresh and haven't really had ANY issues. Curious to hear from other people about damages battery life. Is it really that much better? I'm not that happy with the phones battery life. Coming from the Hero i've used both Fresh rom and Damagecontrol from there so i know they both make good roms. I don't really like all the sprint apps, but those are easy enough to pull out with adb.

Memory leaks and no flash support (i think he fixed the latter with his last update though)
i use both i used both on my hero and will do the same on my EVO
atm im running flipz
Personally I switched from using Fresh to DamageControl. No 'huge' differences as far as battery life and such. Personally I think they are faily close to the same, other than the look of course. I liked Fresh, but I like Damage also. Cant wait til further update tho, and only both, and other ROMs can get better.
I'm done flashing, for now. I went from the Hero to the Evo and I flashed my Hero every update and tried different ROMs. I like the Evo stock cause I'm not always wonder if the "other" is slightly quicker or better on battery life. Also like it because I'm not having to reload all my apps and settings from ROM to ROM.

This is what nandroids are for. You can just save the current device and put it back to the exact way it was before.
Did Damage for 2 days and Fresh for 2 days.
With Damage my Battery life was DREADFUL, I had to recharge twice in the same day, both days.
Fresh, 16+ hours.
Same use, same apps for both installs.
A lot of conflicting posts, guess ill wait for more to chime in. Until then I'll stick with Fresh for now.
How many SD cards did u go thru with all that flashing? I am trying to be conscious of that so I dont turn mine into useless plastic.

I flashed Trigger Redux today... Having many force closes and super fast battery drain. Now that Ive dove into the 2.3 realm, is the CM7 builds any less quirky?
You've done something wrong. There should be no FC's. Build 16 is out too.
s15274n is right, sounds like something is wrong. I had a borked flash once, did a factory reset and it seemed to help out quite a bit. That is the easy fix, try it and if it works then great, otherwise flash again and revert back to stock first if you can for a clean install.
Thanks.. ill try flashing 16.
I'd say CM7 RC1 is your best bet. Ran Trigger previously and CM7 has been amazing--just a bit more refined (especially with glitch kernel).

Glitch should work with Trigger Redux, correct? Ive read it does.. ill try it... Im going away to DC and LA this weekend and would hate to be stuck with a dead phone...
Which voltage app do you use? Voltage Control or Pimp My CPU?
I'm not getting force closes though I am getting "program stopped unexpectedly" on trigger 16 ALL OVER THE PLACE. The browser is completely unusable, and my Gameloft games are saying they can't connect to internet or are not original copies. They are legit FYI! I will try a factory reset but I have my doubts.

That sucks that all that is happening to you. I'm on Trigger Redux build 15 and was on 14 and 13 and will flash 16. I have no problems at all. I have some battery drain but I also may need new battery and I use my phone very heavily.
I'd try to redownload the ROM, check the Md5 sum, and do an ODIN to stock, and flash the ROM again.
Better to start from scratch, make sure you get rid of all the ghosts and see if that fixes ya. If so then you know you had a borked flash or bug in your system
Well I'll be damned.... It worked. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Soooo I flashed Kernel and then installed Voltage Control.. dont know what settings I chose but it cause the phone to reboot and get stuck on the Glitch screen. Guess im taking a flight on Air Odin tonight...
If you're getting force closes go to
/data/app delete a couple of folders. That will stop the force closes.

make sure your min. cpu setting is 200. It comes stock with 100/1000. Bump the min. to 200 and you should be good to go.
I have not found a thread yet so maybe it's just mine. But.... I recently flashed cm7 nightlies and for some reason my slide is running way hot. To the point whee it causes system instability. I dunno if the cpu settings are wrong (i havnt changed them but i'm in the mood to start experimenting right about now) and thats causing instability?....... i dunno at this point im at loss, has any body else fought this issue and could give some clean input i would appreciate it thanx
Could be your battery is going, try a different battery if you have one. Mine did that and was fine when I switched batteries.

well if thats the case i wont wont play with the phone too much and just go buy a new one tmrw. Or do you know of any good extended batteries?
A lot of people recently have discovered that by flashing some of the recent CM7 Nightlies (Nightly 130ish on up) that their CPU's have been running at full capacity no matter what. Try flashing a different ROM like the ChaCha or maybe even CM6.1.1.
would an app like titanium back up allow me back my data to the point where i wont have to re-download everything? because ive spent more than a few hours downloading the apps i like for my phone (not to mentions hrs on downloaded games )

Yes, all your apps will be backed up that you choose, then you can restore them later on.

i've noticed also that my phone runs hot only after prolonged game play for some odd reason.......
im not sure when this started but it seems like every rom, every kernal i use now my phone will close apps to a black screen and freeze up for different lengths of time. was doing it in stock, and now a custom rom. tried different kernals... seems to be worse when the phone first boots up. its almost like a force close but slower and i don't get the force close message. help
Edit: ok i brought up the ram manager and my ram would start around 250 and climb up before my eyes until the screen blacks out.... how do i figure out what is eating up the ram.. and why does it stop?

yeah odined to stock ec05 and it was just as bad. rebooting the phone actually made it worse... seemed like it took forever for everythign to stabilize. phone also seems to get hot but i could be wrong about that. not the battery but above the battery near the camera
Quite often this is caused by restoring old data over a new rom using a program like titanium backup. Sometimes you can get away with it between similar roms but restoring Froyo data on to a gingerbread rom will almost always cause lots of FCs.

Isn't the spot right above the battery where the chip is located? Have you been overclocking your phone like I have at 1400 everyday? I was wondering if I have been flashing too much. I saw some of these issues myself. Odin started freezing as well but it seems to have smoothed out. I thought I may have wiped out my phone

Ummm, I am kind of at a loss here. You don't have any physical damage to your phone? No serious drops? You didn't go swimming with it in your pocket? But seriously, I run at 1400/100 on demand all of the time and that spot gets hot on Gingerbread ROMs but not on Froyo unless I run a lot of video at 1400 max.

When did you purchase your phone? did this start to happen after you started loading custom ROMs or since the start?
What is your current setup right now? Do you use RFS or EXT4?
What hacks have you loaded to your phone, and after what even that you performed on the phone did you start experiencing this issues?

i've had the phone for a year. i've been doign roms for at least 6 months.. this only started in the last month on both rfs and ext4. i don't know what i did that could have done this.. honestly i started noticing it when i odined back to EC05 a few weeks ago. then i did an rfs rom, then drockstars kernal, now srf 1.2 and tz kernal. just seems to be getting worse and worse. to be honest it may have started after i flashed back from eh22

I had this same issue. I was to a point of chamging phones.
I decided to watch 5 different tutorials/youtibe videos on how to odin back to stock.
In that process, 3 of the videos had different options checked. Yes, I decided to try each way, restoring apps/data from Titanium, each time.
After the first 2 attempts, and still seeing the freezes, I started to get some kind of com.google.apps process force close errors.
I was really ready to beat my phone up at this point.
So, after deciding, I've had enough, I said I would do it ONE more time. (There was still one more checkbox that another video was showing...)

Sry, my fat fingers pressed submit.
Anyhow, Ive 0 programming experience so, all of this might kust be a lucky fluke. When I odin'd, I checked all three options. Re-Partition, Autoreboot, And F. Reset Time.
Only 1 video of the 4 I watched said to do this.
I then restored my apps and data back w/ Titanium.
I did make sure that any data from OEM apps, was not broight back, as a precaitonary on my part. It was really driving me nuts. Hope this helps....

crap well it wasn't TW4... uninstalled it last night. today rebooted and same thing.... its so strange it only happens the most after i reboot the phone. black screen with the status bar up top. if i touch the screen the button lights will come on ... if i swipe down the status bar it will eventually come down.. but with a ton of lag
i guess i'll nandroid backup and start from scratch with odin again. bone stock no root see what happens.
EDIT: just noticed that the modem seems to reset every time it does this. didn't see that before cause it doesn't always make the no signal sound. but the bars on the status screen go dark and the little x pops up above them before the home screen redraws. so basically whatever i'm doing goes to black screen.. times out for 10 min with just the bar on top, modem resets and goes back to the home screen
ok i brought up the ram manager and my ram would start around 250 and climb up before my eyes until the screen blacks out.... how do i figure out what is eating up the ram.. and why does it stop?
man this is nuts... i've got android system info running and i'm watching the processes tab... all the programs start usign memory, then android starts killing them off until they are almost all gone then i go to black screen... i dont' know what the hell is going on
edit: tasks is showing android.process.acore twice, package com.fede.launcher. both are using 34.89 MB and have cpu at 100... however total CPU usage is only showing 7%
I got the phone just 3 days ago from an insurance claim, had no problems with it other than the power button is a pain sometimes.
I rooted the phone yesterday with visionary at first, then gfree after i got the s-off, and I have the CWM 5.8 touch recovery. I then flashed Virtuous Unity 2.39 and the Darkside v12 kernel, as well as all sorts of different radio's. I then fell asleep after installing those, and before setting up the ROM, and i left it charging on my computer overnight.
I woke up about 5 hours later, and the phone was at 4% battery life. I dont know what happened. i can get it to about 2% charge and then it stops and dies out. i did notice that the clock on the status bar froze at one point and said 11:40 when it was really 12:27. the clock widget on the main screen was correct the whole time.
I am able to get into recovery, I am able to get into fastboot, I am able to get into the ROM...
I have switched out the radio to different one than the one last night, and i have switched the kernel to "CollectiveACE-BFS-v0.1.5" and that doesnt solve the issue. I have also cleared the battery stats, even though i didn't want to since it was at such a low level of power...none of these things helped.
I have also noticed that after the phone shuts off, when i power it back on, it goes into recovery. I am unsure why, but when I tell it to reboot from recovery, it goes right back to recovery, and i have to pull my battery to get it to go to the OS.
Any idea's? and I am sorry if this is confusing...
Try flashing a new ROM. But before you do, flash Mike1986's superwipe script from here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61962340/Android_Revolution_HD_Super_Wipe.zip , just to make sure everything is fully clean . Then flash your ROM of choice. Also, never flash radios for the heck of it. They can easily brick your device. Be careful, and report back

Stop flashing aosp kernels on your SENSE rom... Try darkside sense v7 or one of the unity kernels and all should be fine.

I have installed Icecreaminsanity 7.1 AOKP fixed or whatever the name of it is. I did not know the kernels were different depending on AOSP and Sense. If i have ICS on it now, which kernel should I use since there are no ICS kernels for the glacier?
I dont know if the charging issue is fixed yet, because i just did the superwipe and put on the ICS ROM. I will post if it is fixed or not, but my hopes are low
edit: Sorry, it is IceColdInsomnia 7.1.AOKP-test.
WOW i love this ROM...but i digress...its still too early to tell if it's going to fix the charging issue. I did notice that when the screen was on and i was going through the launcher, it didnt interrupt me telling me my battery was only at 3%...maybe that's a good sign.
No, it didnt fix the issue. While leaving the screen off and plugged into the wall, the charge dropped to 2%, and now it's blinking between the green and orange LED's...what do I do now??? Any recommended kernels for this rom? would an AOSP kernel be better than a Sense kernel for this new ROM?
Edit: I am already using the kernel mentioned by the OP in the thread for that ROM...the Collectives ACE kernel.
Get an external battery charger or find a friend with a glacier or t-bolt and charge the battery. Flash PD15IMG.zip and start over. If it still doesn't charge tell them they sent you a busted device, raise some hell, and see what you can get.
