Is my phone near death?

I've been flashing this thing left and right since November (when I got it, teehee). It's been through over 10 Odins and 100 custom rom/kernel flashes. Even so, Odin has never failed me, nor has the ROMs. But lately, my phone has been freezing non stop, I thought I flashed Syndicate Frozen wrong so I reflashed after wiping and it still froze. I changed the kernel prefixes to 1000/200 instead of 1000/100 to see if it's the 100 scale being stupid, but no dice. I decided to flash MidNIGHT rom to see if that would fix the problem and it worked fine, but now another problem arose. My recovery can't find internal or SD storage anymore...I fixed the problem before by booting the phone up, then going into settings > Privacy > factory reset (although that froze the phone and I had to manually pull the battery) but once I rebooted, all was good...but I Odined back to DI18, automatically updated to EC05, then ran the EXT 4 one click root and it was fine, then I flashed Syndicate 1.1 again, froze on me, restored my working version of midNIGHT rom, now it's giving me that internal storage problem again in recovery.
Is my phone about to die??? I took a picture of the recovery error with my brother's phone.

Those aren't big-deal errors - but I've seen them before when I flashed CWM3 and entered it early (I can't tell you exactly what I did). Just Odin again, flash CWM3, let it convert, and restore the backup. You should be fine. But no, your phone is fine.
And, see the SRF thread. The freeze fix has been posted many times.

Perhaps you should try something other than Syndicate for a while...maybe try an RFS based ROM. Sounds like all your problems start with flashing Syndicate.
Stock EC05 RFS with Genocide 0.5a kernel has been rock solid for me and unbelievable battery life.

I'll give it a try, thanks!

I get those same errors when I use reboot recovery to get to CWM3, but when i use the 3 finger method it works fine.
What method did you use to boot to cwm?

Quick boot is a hard reset. Cause of this it causes data corruption. Use the reboot option built into the rom.
If you wanna reboot into recovery after hitting the reboot 3 finger death grip. It will reboot into recovery

Not only that, but something just doesn't set right when you do it - I can't tell you exactly what, but that's definitely the cause right there.

Had both of these same issues as well on SFR 1.1 and also thought my phone was in trouble. Quickboot caused problems in CWM3 and data corruptions, so had to wipe and reflash. Then, like a number of others, I started having the freezing problems on SFR. Unfortunately, hadn't made it through all the pages of issues in the thread (and freezing issue wasn't yet noted in 2nd post when I downloaded the rom), so ended having to do several battery pulls, which caused more data corruption that required wiping and formatting sd card. Since the posted fix is to flash a kernel that is said to break the camcorder, which I use, I decided to flash back to midnight and all is working again.
I don't want this post to be seen as me knocking SFR. The team at ACS does great work and I'm sure the kernel works for most users. Once the freezing issue is resolved, I'll probably try SFR again, because I like their roms. Just wanted to let you know others are having the same issues.

I'd totally use that fix if my camera worked with it. :S

any kind of quick reset (quickboot or pulling battery with power on) is bad news on a non-journaled ROM.

Try the camera APK from EB13. The camera works, too - only the camcorder doesn't.

No camcorder is a deal breaker for me (have a 6 year old that loves home movies). Hoping for a new kernel soon.

I thought everyone knew not to use quickboot that's why the roms have reboot in the power options but I'm scared to even use that and never have.

midNIGHT rom came with Quickboot.apk, so I assumed it's okay. I'll ditch it right away, though.

not meaning to hijack the thread butttt
is adb reboot acceptable to use on a non journal rom?

[MOD] Quickpanel Sound Toggle for UCKH3

I modified the stock SystemUI.apk for UCKH3 to remove the Flight Mode toggle and replace it with Sound toggle. This works with unthemed stock UCKH3 rom. I have added a straight zipped copy of the modified SystemUI.apk, a CWM version, and the original stock SystemUI, in case you need to revert back. These are all deodexed and zipaligned.
I had to wipe data/cache to see the changes so its possible you may have to do the same, or a simple restart may suffice.
Use at your own risk and remember to backup if necessary.
Thanks to elfie who created UCKF1 version which is what I used to remake the 2.3.4 version.

Got force close on modified one...

How about data toggle next?

Steveo, I had the same thing happen, along with disappearing panel, when I replaced the apk. A quick restart should fix the problem. Only other thing I could suggest is to make sure you are on UCKH3.
I haven't gotten to test the CWM that I made yet, have been to busy working on this and AOSP lock screen, so if the cwm version is giving you fits try replacing the apk manually and restart.

Thanks for the mod.
KH3 is getting better and better. Its stable to be a daily driver. With CWM kernel I was able to get number battery. Now the sound toggle. All I need now is an AOSP lockscreen and I will be a happy camper.

Works good on VictoryRomv1

Worked first shot on FastyII 1.5.

Steveo, I'm not sure why its not working for you. I just loaded the cwm kernel for kh3 and tried both the modded and orig cwm zip files to make sure there was nothing screwy there. They both installed and ran fine, no FCs. The only other thing I could say to try off the top of my head is to reboot in to cwm and clear Dalvik cache under advanced, reload the modded systemui.apk and restart. Hopefully that'll fix it for you. If you still have problems let me know.

Ill try it again later tonight and let you know what I get. I bet I need to clear the d.c.

Looks like I can just leave my captivate alone for alittle bit (I know I am lying ... lol) ... but in all seriousness ... not to say that I don't like custom themes but I also like stock theme. Obviously with number battery, CWM and AOSP lockscreen ...

[Q] CM7 home button

I was wondering if there was a way to change the home button from holding the power button and selecting home to just tapping the power button and having that serve as the home button.
Furthermore, is there a way to changed launchers in CM7?

Not sure but in Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Tablet tweaks > Choose soft-buttons, you can put the home button right on the screen.
Not sure if you knew that but if not, now you know.

that's pretty handy, thanks for the tip. i'm going to enable that now.

Yes, exactly what Devilot said. Adobe Flash from the Market should do the job.

Has anyone thought of taking the ICS virtual buttons and porting them into CM7?

in regards to installing flash from the market, it says 'incompatible with your device'. i'm having the same issue with Dolphin Browser HD at the moment

That's strange. Maybe go into Recovery and clear cache and Dalvik-cache? You're using CM7, correct?

I'm using CM7 as well, and flash installed fine for me. Just make sure to do a Delvik/Cache wipe AFTER you install the ROM, and you *should* be fine.
As far as launchers go, definately check out GO Launcher EX v2.71. Its not available in the market yet, just off their website, but its made specifically for 7 and 10 inch tablets.

I'm sorry to read that. But next time use Titanium Backup to backup your apps and data. Makes things so much easier. On a brighter note, I'm glad you got it working.

Cool! Enjoy your CM7 powered Kindle Fire.

Wow, that is definitely odd. I have two KFs, both on CM7, and both installed Flash Player straight from the market without hesitation.
Glad you got it to work though!

Seems to be quite a few little quirks and bugs that happen to some and not others. I'm sure as the roms and devs get going the bugs will be fewer.

[ROM] Stock rooted 3.2.1 a501_4.483.01_EMEA_TMPL 20-01-12

A Present from Moscow!
Acer Stock HC 3.2.1 Acer_A501_4.483.01_EMEA_TMPL
Rooted
Busybox
Superuser
Data/app folder added with a couple of apps to check root
All stock ACER apps included
You know the procedure for flashing. If not, here they are again, as it seems some people don't know.
You MUST do the wipes and formats.
Installation:
Due to issues with Version 1.7 of recovery, you may get stuck at the boot animation. Highly advise you to downgrade your recovery back to Version 1.5. It seems that some things do not get wiped and formatted correctly.
1. Wipe User Data
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe DalviK
4. Wipe Battery Stats
Note: Optional Formatting.
If you really want to remove EVERYTHING in Internal Memory, at this point, go to Backup and Restore. Select "Toggle backup and restore of internal storage (/data/media). Enable this setting by selecting it. By default, it is disabled. Then proceed to the formatting steps. This will format the Entire Internal Memory when you proceed.
If you want to save all the things like downloaded files, apps, pdf's etc, then DO NOT enable this toggle, and just proceed to the Format steps.
Select Go Back, Goto Mounts and Storage
1. Format System
2. Format Cache
3. Format Dalvik
4. Format Flexrom
Select Go Back and select Install from Zip File (for those of you who refuse to update their recovery, select Install zip from SD)
Link Re-established.

Not sure what your definition is of a "full wipe", but instructions can be found here:

I can guarantee you that if all you can get is to the boot animation that the problem is "pilot error".

Well, here's what I suggest. Look in my original post. I added the full instructions from my other rom.
It seems now days, the old 3 wipes just don't do a good enough job, you also have to do the formats as well.
(I thought I would be lazy and do only the 3 wipes last night, guess what? Stuck at boot animation) Did the full wipe and format, and it works as advertised.
EDIT: Guess what? This morning, I cannot flash anything, or I should say "hit and miss". Not even my daily driver. Connected to Recovery I believe.

Link re-established. Nothing wrong with the download.
If you have issues, downgrade your recovery back to version 1.5.
The issue with version 1.7 is "hit and miss". Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Well, I haven't checked the comgen1 yet (had to figure out the recovery problem first). Will root it and check it in a bit.
But, so far, I see 4 or 5 language supports are missing from the TMPL. Arabic and Aisian mostly. Also, on install the default is Polish (not a biggie as you can change it).
Other that that, it has a few extra files when compared to 3.2.
It seems I can get 1 or 2 extra sat's on gps when comparing to HC 3.2. But maybe because it's a clear day here.
Also, Acer included a couple new apps. One of them some 3d photo browser that force closes the first time you use it. Then it works normally, sort of. Seems it loses it's images off and on. Nice job acer. And, it's butt ugly. Wonder who the rocket scientist was that chose that app?
I'm not going to mod this one, but I will with the comgen1. Overall it runs good I think.

Sorry. My Bad
I was thinking about the a501_4.510.01_Com_Gen1H that was leaked out yesterday.
I already rooted it and such, but it seems to be a "Demo" version from a couple of months ago. Not only does it have a strange installer script, but a strange directory structure also. 3g also is partly working.
So basically it's of little use.

Yeah, its a pain in the bum alright, some of the slower ones already have "removed or taken down because of copyrighted material" messages coming up (deposit files)... A couple have the servers offline - upload king and upload here.
This is gonna be a major pain in the bum if the close down or lock file sharing sites, and the sites themselves may end up locking things down and removing anything they see as copyrighted material, even if its not....

I found another place. 30 min download, But you have to give your e-mail for the link. Not really an issue. 3 more servers went down today.
Seems all that's left, is the small file hosts, and they're starting to limit file size.
I suspect, some serious **** will hit the fan in the next coming week, The US can't keep going on this crusade forever. Otherwise, there won;t be a site left except "foxnews" and Facebook.

No problem and glad it's running.
Not sure what is going on, but in past 6 months, it seems like we now have to format things. I didn't in the past, but now I must.
Well, it is 2012, so things change.
If you have issues with the Rom, it is pure stock HC 3.2.1. I changed nothing in it. Only SU and busybox and removal of the bootloader blob and recovery. So if a game doesn't run, there is nothing I can do about it. It's an Acer deal.
However, I do have one on my notebook, that has "0" acer stuff in it.

Well this goes round in circles !
Anyway, I just logged on to report the same thing happening. I have been using the ICS+ browser and its been great, the odd occasion when it would shut down but now both it and the stock browser close after a few seconds of browsing.
Note this is not a force close, the browser just disappears with no warning. I have done all the usual, clear cache, reinstall etc, even uninstalled Flash but no change.
This started happening a few days ago.

A bit hesitant to install custom stuff in case I break something unless there is a simple, idiot-proof method?

Ahh yes...the quakes....thank god the aftershocks are lessening, we had 8 days without one!! Such a shame the city has changed 4eva....however, it could have been much worse...hope yr family got thru it all OK...
There are plenty of guides around, all pretty much idiot-proof as long as u can read and follow the steps as written...the drivers are the biggest issue as long as the Acer ones and Google ones are installed u should be all good. If u flash a stock rom u will need root access first - for custom roms this isn't necessary.
Unlocking the bootloader will also flash cwm at thesame time. You'll need yr HC cpuid ax well...check my cpuid guide in sig, lots of useful info in there....good luck?

I was having the same problem over the weekend. I thought it was something I had screwed up so I reinstalled ReFlexxx and did a real format. Still had problem so then tried restoring app+data from an older titanium backup and so far has been working fine.

I have reflex also I'll reinstall and see how that works if that doesn't work then I'll restore my pics browser

Friend with a stock A200 has just reported the same problem, stock browser keeps quitting. Something funny going on here.

The only thing that helpped me was clearing browsers cache. After that browser stopped crashing.
On the other hand chrome makes my tablet restart it selfe or stop rendering as soon as I open 2 tabs or more.
