Hi! When running ROMs that are "newer" such as 2.2 ROMs they crash/freeze for no apparent reason. With or without an SD card in, everything wiped, newly updated recovery etc etc.
However! When i run a ROM like Kimera 1.8 Cupcake ROM it all floats on perfectly.
I cant see any rhyme nor reason behind the problems im experiencing. Any thoughts? It's really killing me :/
Could you define "crash/freeze" a bit more specific please? Does the phone boot up as normal?
If it just hangs on randomly when using the phone normally, it might be a ROM specific problem (not neccesary 2.2), maybe some app who can't handle 2.2 just yet, or you configured it badly (overclocking?).
As riemervdzee says, more information required.
What ROM are you trying? What radio? What CPU settings if available?
I tried SenseHero (2.1), Froyos and currently running Fusion!ROM 2.2 and they all run perfectly on my G2 Touch (Hero)
It boots up perfectly but then either reboots after random use or just freezes in the sense that i use some app or scroll through the app list or try to make a call and it simply freezes up and is unusable until i remove the battery and reboot.
I am running FROYO_2.2.1_Special_Edition_RC1_update1 and as far as i can think of i haven't configured it anything specific. Is there perhaps a way to reset every setting such as CPU setting etc that might be wonky?
Im running 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.14 Radio!
lol i love you're definition of "newer roms" when you've only used 1 rom.
first i'd recommend trying some others. i'm not saying the one you tried is bad at all but it may just not agree with your phone for some reason.
Having said that - if I were you i'd check exactly what you're wiping - it sounds to be that you haven't cleared the dalvik cache or something (i.e. you've not done a full wipe before flashing a new rom).
My new bie guide has the process for flashing a new rom (part 2 i think).
I've run a myriad of roms, im just stating that this is the one im currently running and experiencing problems with.

What exactly is the problem of running an other 2.2 ROM? It could be a ROM specific problem, which frankly occurs at your phone (egh, sometimes happens ).
If you are sure you wiped data, dalvik, cache and ext2 (if any) I really suggest you move to another ROM and see if that one works OK.
I experience exactly the same problem with every 2.1 and 2.2 ROM so i doubt its ROM specific. I've wiped everything. Im quite clueless in this case what the problem might be!
Just installed this ROM and as before, all previous Syndicate roms were amazing! But this one has a few issues id like to question. Biggest problem is when i turn my Epic off, it wont charge. It stalls at the battery loading screen. It just shows the "working icon" and doesn't go away. I have to pull the battery. Perhaps this isn't the rom, but i've never had this issue until now.
Second thing, a FC for "gapps" keeps coming up. Dunno why, never did before, perhaps a re-flash of the ROM would fix it. It's just a pain setting everything up over and over.
If anyone could help, I couldn't post this to the ROMs Specific thread because i'm a noob and havent posted 10 times yet, so here i am. Thank you in advance for all your help and knowledge.

The battery issue is an issue with CWM3.0.6... so i was told. So it isn't rom related. As for the gapps, I don't think they have made a gapps yet for this rom...

Roam Control
I have Flashed this ROM from supernova didn't like the battery drain so I wiped and went back to where I was before with my nandroid back up but Kernal was still stuck on twilight. I then reflashed this rom after using the samsung odin to get back to stock then the one click root from AC where you can keep data phone frooze on samsung re-odined from the ROM's OP to get CW3 and ext4. wiped 3x and flashed got a bad flash rewiped and flashed and it's finally working kind of.
I am in a place where we have no sprint 3G which is fine as @home in on wifi. Android market doesn't work unless on wifi. when off wifi it always says it looses connection or needs a connection (this never happened on any other rom I've ran before) it is way slower if I ever do get to download anything. Also other apps such as world war say I have no connection half the time as well. I used to use Roam Control from the market to get better service as I get zero in the office with sprint but now I can't even get that to work everytime I try and hit roam in the app it says to purchase from the market when I already have.
As i previously mentioned wasn't happy with the battery drain. so I have tried re downloading the zip for ROM and the new twilight fix. still losing a percent or 2 every 15-20 min seems pretty big drain compared to the supernova I was running and the midnight 4.1 before that. any help would be awesome. I wish I could put this in the ROM's thread but this is only my first post on xda. not a fan of that rule.
Re-download and reflash. Be sure to wipe 3x before doing so!

Gapps is baked in the rom, and I'm gonna try and reinstall everything. Ill post again with my experience.

If you are having issues, then I would suggest doing EB13 + EXT4 with ODIN and then doing a fresh install. The rom has been nothing but stable for me. And if you use titanium backup or some other type of app restoration then I would suggest only restoring apps with data in only the apps you really need. Otherwise you are going to run into trouble.

Can you try a fresh uninstall and re-install of Roam Control through the market? Then just make sure you have a signal the first time you change the roaming mode. Send me an email at roamcontrol (at) gmail (dot) com with any questions. Thanks!
Ok so, using CWM, I just wiped and cleared the cache a bunch of times. Not all gapps were there. Just market and contacts. I had to install gmail, search and others. I'm not getting ANY FC's. Its smooth as butter now. Now to fix the battery lock up problem. Is there a EB13 tar with the EXT4 CWM included? I'm sure someone has done it by now. Plus, this is the first version of the 2.2 rom. It can only get better. Thanks for your help fellas.

Thanks for the info on that chat help. I talked to them a bit consensus is another odin, wipe, and flash . I've tried so many times already i'm starting to get frustrated, oh well, all part of the experience right. I just got home so we'll see with new downloads of all files I can get this baby running.
Hi guys thanks for the awesome ROM
I just wanted to mention I am having the same email issue with my IMPAP AOL account, at first I was using IMAP SSL 993, I deleted the account and readded standard IMAP 143 and I am having same problem. I know you guys are aware of the email issue, I just wanted to share this info with you.
Before I installed this ROM I used ES File Explorer to copy my Angry Birds highscores.lua file to SD card and then to my computer. After installing this ROM I installed Angry Birds and it was working fine, then I installed ES File Explorer. I copied back my highscores.lua file back to the correct directory. Angry Birds started crashing after this whenever I cleared a level. It turns out the file I copied back was not writeable, so I installed Terminal Emulator and did a chmod to the highscores.lua to make it writeable, and now it works fine.
When I was on stock EBE13 my TWS was 51% I was able to fix this by changing my Mobile network from Automatic to Sprint Only and then it went to 2%. I am using this on Boost Mobile so I dont think I can Roam anyway. On this ROM my TWS is 50%, changing to Sprint Only has no affect on this, and I tried toggeling Airplane Mode on and off and it did not seem to help.
Once again thanks for this superfast ROM

it was answered in post #2, the battery lockup is an issue with CWM 3.x.x. It was also posted numerous times in the Syndicate ROM thread. I'm getting tired of reading about it.

They know about the email issue and are working on it.
Not sure about the angry birds issue sorry.
for the TWS issue I still do the airplane mode toggle to fix that. unfortunately I think that will be necessary forever, I see you've tried it already but try from a fresh reboot right away and see if that works and also I've heard of some having to toggle a couple times before it working. after a reboot I just toggle 3 times just to be safe. I have not found a rom that solves this issue. That's weird that changing to sprint only helped I have never tried that nor heard of anyone who has. I'd give it a shot but I use roam control at work so maybe i'll see if it works this weekend when I'm not at work.
I hope it works out for you, I don't know too much but hope i helped somewhat. have a good one.
I was able to fix Echange email issue by replacing Email.apk with the file from this thread.

Is anyone else having an issue with call volume? I just made my first phone call since flashing this ROM and I could barely hear the person on the other end despite having the volume up as loud as it would go.

So. JV5/JV9/JVO builds from kitchen with CF and HC kernels cause soft-reboots on my SGS I9000. I tested all of them by now. Tried the Talon Kernel 0.2.1 with JV5 and JV9, which caused boot-looping.
So I kept reading and found out that I was not the only one having this problem, but it seemed to be solveable by flashing a stock JVO first.
I already had Gingerbread Bootloaders, flashed JVK a while back, so I tried a few no-wipe ROMs as I mentioned above. All with the same problem. I lost connection to my cell network and it didn't come back. Somehow connected to the WiFi, I suppose. I could reproduce it by getting a GPS fix. But that was more or less related to my phone using wireless networks for positioning, which means that it switches on WiFi for just a second but without telling me.
Anyways, I thought I might have been wrong about the bootloaders being the reason to flash the stock firmware, so I did as it said: it specifically said JVO+ in the tutorial, so I went through the hassle and did the following:
- Flash an entire JVO firmware
- Reboot
(that one took a while)
- Full factory reset via dialer code
(that one took a while, too)
- reboot again, this time into bootloader, to flash a hc-speedmod kernel, to have root access and CWM
- reboot again, into CWM, to flash one of the ROMs I tried earlier
I ran back into my old trouble. So this is not an issue of the GB bootloaders or a previously installed version. The phone keeps soft-rebooting.
I re-installed the stock JVO firmware and flashed the speedmod kernel again, rooted via CWM menu and now I am just recovering my important applications via Titanium. Nothing bad happened yet, and it would have, with any of the kitchen ROMs Trust my, I almost tried them all
Nobody else wrote anything on that, so I thought I'd let you know there's no need to wipe all your data (like I did) and hope for the soft-reboots to be gone.
There's something seriously wrong there.
Anybody else having the same issues?
Cheers.

Yep, I had a whole lot of trouble with the Kitchen JV5 release yesterday, ended up giving up and goind back to Darky's 10.1. Mine would boot, and when doing a media scan, would soft reset itself. I could get it to work eventually by powering down before media scanner completed then powering up. Bit odd - tried three builds of JV5 with different kernels but they ended up all being screwy. Ah well, will see what JVP brings...
glad to hear that I'm not the only one crazy enough to wipe his entire phone for a new (and fast) operating system.
Anyways... I am now back to my old status. Re-installed most of my apps, sync behavior, BT devices, wireless APs, etc. blayallah...
JVO with a hc speedmod kernel is by far the best and fastest ROM I have run so far.
Kitchen builds are dead to me until some of the people who ran into the same problems as I did confirm that those issues have been dealt with.
Just for your information:
- battery life seems amazing, at least regarding to the sensor. Hope it's any accurate. Had it unplugged over night and lost 22% battery life with WiFi on in a bit more than 10 hours
- it responds VERY fast, compared to any other ROM I had before
- bluetooth devices have to be set up again, for some reason my phone doesn't like my headset any longer. I can hear people talk but they can't hear me. However, the microphone does work when I use my headset for text2speech. Weird.
Anything else seems just the way it was before. Just faster.
I'd be glad to hear if someone could still help me out with the soft-reboots, if somebody else decides to use the kitchen builds either way I won't until somebody else tells me it's working now
Andreas
Why would u need to SOFT reboot ?
I don't *need* to soft-reboot. It just does that. Modem crashes, lost network connection. The phone doesn't actually entirely crash, it just restarts the network service and your phone is going to be offline.
That's a soft-reboot. No entire system crash or kernel panic, just the modem crashing.
That does happen when things are messed up
I'm having the same issue: on a JV5 and JV9 RomKitchen build with a JVO modem, as soon as I get a GPS lock, the phone soft-reboots.

guys, why dont you try the JVP v7 builds, its much better.
also, please select the default boot animation, else it will go into bootloop.
I can confirms that doing a no-wipe upgrade to JVP v7 fixed this soft-reboot issue.
Thank you for that information. I'm not in a flashing mood right now JVO is running just fine right now. Anything about JVP v7 that's worth the try?
JVO is running fine for now. So I'm not feeling like flashing everything over again.
Is there a simple way to just dump my current phone status, its ROM and everything somewhere to my harddrive and re-flash all of that over in case anything goes wrong?

its pretty much the same stuff except very good speed optimizations, 2.3.4, and few UI tweaks.
its been the same since the first gingerbread leaks. we flash it for new builds dont we
...and now it's just pissing me off. JV9 Kitchen Build. On GPS Lock I get soft reboots. What the hell?!
Trying another one now... crap. I thought That would be fixed by now.
So. Kept me busy, just to be sure: Each and every combination I tried using 2.3.3 from the kitchen caused soft-reboots on GPS fix. The phone was very fast with the Talon Kernel and Ext4 FS, but I can't live without GPS
So I tried a non-wipe install over one of the not working 2.3.3 roms.
I'm on JVP now, not as fast as Talon, so it seems, but GPS works, getting a fix at my window within 5-10 seconds, no crashes whatsoever.
So. If anybody else experiences crashes like the ones I mentioned in the opening post, I can also confirm that the JVP ROMs seem to fix the problem.

...as much as I hate talking to myself, it's still regarding the same issue, so I have to ask:
Saw the new kitchen build (JVR).
Two questions:
1. Is the soft-reboot issue finally fixed?
2. Is there a little language-switcher-button on the bottom left of the swype keyboard?
I use the JVO swype, and it has that button, and the new ones don't seem to have it any more? It's really nice if you need to switch between two languages all the time and you don't want to go into settings every time you need to switch.
Anyone know that? http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQC6orm5ZMAju2VzczB3MCbwEPeSH9yrYI6wxfdDGFCvkdpe7lQRg <- that one right here has it. Took me a long time to find that, because no swype version but JVO seems to have that feature.
I'd be glad about any answers to those two questions.

I've also been tinkering with customising ROM's myself to get to the boot-loop - getting pretty proficient at it now (guess I should read up a little more first)
Hi! Does anybody know how to go from ICS 4.0.3 to 3.0.1 or 3.2 or 3.1? Because I'm having a lot of issues with ICS 4.0.3.
Mine is rooted and has Flexreaper ROM on it, I don't know why recovery mode doesn't work, as well as why I don't have CWM anymore, I had a custom kernel before which was givin in the bundle ROM by Flexreaper. Can anybody help me figure this out? Also if anybody is facing this problem?
I also noticed that the new ICS 4.0.3 makes my a500 tab screen flicker kind of wavey. Sorry for my horrible explanation.
Before you abandon ship, back up everything and try a hard reset. There were more than a few issues like yours that a reset solved. I had browser lag and video issues... I deleted Flash, reset, reinstalled Flash, and it's been buttery smooth since.

Yeah! I would love to do something like that, every one mentions this hard reset and reset and full wipe. I've done those, but I'm not quite sure if it's the proper way I've been doing it.
Is there a thread posted previously that you did or anyone that you know did? Could you post the link?
By the way Denny I'm gonna try reinstalling my flash as well because I noticed how right before the video would start it kind of glitches and lags lol. But please let me know man!

Go to Settings, then Backup & Reset, then Factory data reset. But like I said, remember to back everything up first.

Hey Denny! I've managed to fixed and got my tablet working again. Just a small little issue I've been also having. That adobe flash on my android gives me issues, when I play a video on the browser it usually takes a couple of seconds for the video to show, sometimes it doesn't so I have to reload the page...Do you know what's happening there? If so, please let me know! Thanks
Hey guys, I've had my transformer for just under a year and love it to death, but for the last couple of days it has been giving me hell! I was running ARHD 3.4.1 with Guevor's ICS kernel (can't remember version, either 19.4, 20 or 21). Anyway, all was well until I changed to ARHD 3.5.1 and switched to raymanfx's harmony kernel to try it out. I couldn't get my videos to play on mxplayer, FC's on apps, random freezes and tablet kept randomly rebooting. So I reflashed ARHD 3.5.1 again, same, reflashed guevor kernel, same, updated CWM to Rogue XM Touch Recovery v1.5.0-R1, same. Finally used this method: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/update-and-restore-eee-pad-transformer-to-stock-ice-cream-sandwich/ to flash back to stock, no root, no nothing annnnnd... same! Same issues no matter what I try. So my question is, with a few weeks of ASUS global warranty left (bought it in HK so I can't take it back to 'shop') can/should I send it back now that it's flashed back to stock without them finding out I rooted it? Or is there something I'm missing that you guys can think of. Please let me know asap in case I do need to send it back. Thanks in advance. Oh and let me know if you need more info
Maybe a stupid question...
Did you do a factory reset in between flashing the different roms and kernels? Full factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik?
Not a stupid question at all, but yes, I tried all three

I can't think of anything else causing that behaviour. Restoring apps, data and system data with Titanium has been a source of trouble for me in he past. Restoring setCPU with profiles that don't work well with the new kernel for example. But I guess that's not the case here. At least stock ROM should be working.
Sorry, maybe someone else has another idea.
