I'm using the latest damagecontrol rom on my hero with a 710 MHz overclock and I'm pretty happy with my hero. The phone performs a good deal better however my main issue from before still remains. The dialer lags horribly so that I can't answer 50% of my incoming calls.
Do I need a task manager? A better rom? A better dialer app? I like the main apps functionality but if there is an app that doesn't crash every other time then I'm down.

There are several people who have this problem. Some people suggest setting your Slot Index to 1 instead of 2, but its not that big of a help in my experience. And I have heard that the towers force a specific polling rate on you.
I have found that moving ringtones from the SD card to internal memory seems to help a little if you have a slow card. Now that I have a class 6, the difference is negligable.
Actually it happens on outgoing calls as well. :\
happens to me too. isn't "ring lag" that has been discussed before. just a delay when you click on a contact name and it tries to call. can take up to 20-30 secs... will call them twice if you tap it twice, you'll have them on call waiting aaha.
Clear your call history, Mine after about 3 weeks makes the dialer lag so bad its unuseable. That at least helps with the visible dialer lag, doesn't seem to make much difference for incoming calls (which I still miss most of the time).
I just posted in another thread, I've tried a dozen different ROMS, OC and non-OC, and have yet to get the phone to ring for even 50% of the 23 second ring-cycle.
I had SEVERE lag when I was on the stock 2.1 release from Sprint. After I rooted I haven't tried all the ROM's out there, but there is NO LAG on Aloysius 2.1. Plus, if you download the snow version, you get the AOSP dialer as well so you can try both. I am not saying your current ROM is bad, but I'd play around and see.
i wonder if it is a diff phone.apk in that rom, i wonder if it could be extracted?
So, here are a few of the things that happen to me with the HTC keyboard when I (try to) send SMS/MMS
(Biggest complaint) When I type fast, all the letters will get through, but the spaces won't register till the end (ie, the space char has lower priority than other chars?)
An example would be if I typed "Hello world, how are you?" really fast the result would be "Helloworld,howareyou ?"
General slow down when I am typing
Tactile feedback delay
skipped chars when typing fast
I figure since our phones have a 1Ghz processor and a multi-touch screen, simple IO wouldn't be a problem, but it seems like texting is faster and more fluid on my sister's feature phone than on my HTC HD2... I don't think it is right that with all that power, simply typing fast causes slow down...
Is it me? Or is this the norm?
p.s. I'm running on kumar's latest w/ HTC messaging (haven't tried the w/o HTC messaging) and I've experiened these problems txting people w/ 300-600 txts, people with 0-100 and in the blank or create new txt. But I mean, 600 txts isn't that much memory... why would it matter anyways?!
okay so I'm not alone....
I have this EXACT same issue. I had it with the stock ROM so I recently flashed and I'm using the Elegancia ROM and I love it, but texting still sucks.
Biggest problem, spaces never seem to register. Second biggest, when Im in geek mode cranking out long texts I have several misspelled words because it misses letters...
Is there an alternative MMS tool I should be using? For instance in the past I always used HandCent. Is that not the issue?
I love this phone but being happy with it has turned into a Part-Time job!!!
The newest Energy ROM has a new IME version (soft keyboard) and it totally improves the typing experience. The keyboard is now amazing for me and I can now type as fast as I want.
sms its horrible on t-mobile roms they need to fix it

I haven't done an Energy ROM since the first one came out. I might have to give it a try. My biggest issue with the Energy ROMs was that it drained my battery really quickly (Hence the name Energy) Has that improved? I like Kumar because of the stock look and feel, but maybe to switch it up I'll give it a try

The battery life is not the ROMs problem actually, but the ROM does have more stuff in it so your phone does, more ...
The Radio ROM has more to do with battery life than the OS ROM does ...
I get more than a full day out of mine .....
I think my battery life is about the same with Energy, possibly even longer than stock.
noticed with energy rom after running it for one day after my full app setup that the keyboard lag which HAD disapeared, however noticed several times typing dramatically slowed down(until soft reset), it became so slow it was unusable.
However, I will say, upon every soft reset, typing is much much faster than stock, space bar REGISTERS BEAUTIFULLY, and can keep up with me.
On my 2.13 stock rom, thisissimilartogmw themajorityofmy textsappeared. before going back and editing
I think the tactile feedback is to blame for most of the slowdown. When I disable it, I can type much faster. Swype gets bogged down too, that's why I prefer full qwerty without tactile (haptic) feedback.

Don't you think it's one of the apps slowing down the phone then? On the July 3rd version the only slow down I get is in the Windows messaging client itself, but it's never the keyboard.
an app causing this is very possible. I just dont want to go start blaming tcpmp or coreplayer for the slowdowns.

I only used the first version of the ROM, and you can tell from the first couple of posts in the Energy ROM thread that users were experiencing hot batteries, quick battery drain, etc. I was one of those users. While you are correct about the Radio, the ROM also can affect battery based on default settings (ie, screen brightness). Those things can be changed and most relatively easily, some settings reside in the registry which is a little more time consuming. I just perfered to use another ROM.
Oh, and p.s. I like your avatar picture! It reminds me of an animated short I saw on tech TV's Animation show they use to play back in the day. Something about killer coffee beens and a party that was too loud... Good times!
This thread is for reviews of the stock JL4 build that can be found in the following threads:

Testing out what was discussed in the Town Hall Meeting.
A couple review guidelines:
Make sure to mention in your review if you are running the ROM with any mods or lagfixes.
"This ROM rulez" or "this ROM suckz" is not a good review. Please explain specifically what it is that you like about this ROM and what it is that you don't like.
Screenshots are always appreciated.
Everyone has different needs for a ROM and people's needs are unique to how they use their phone. What is a dealbreaker for one person may not be for another person. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and flaming them for it is NOT OK.
Not liking a ROM is not grounds for personal remarks against the devs.
I ran this ROM for about 14 hours before restoring to JI6. It was nice and fast. Everything seemed to be working correctly. Still did not have stock android keyboard by default so I had to add that in, of course the haptic feedback on that did not work.
Tried some MMS tests and they seemed to come in blurry. I don't think this is so much ROM issue but more so an issue where T-Mobile MMS servers do not recognize the build so they send the pic to me in a lower res in order to make sure I get it. Once the ROM build can be recognized by the MMS servers the pics should come in with the correct resolution.
GPS, Wifi, and 3G all worked great. GPS I first ran Samsung GPS Restore and then tested with several GPS apps. Got 12/12 satellites in under 5 seconds. Accuracy was down to 10 feet.
All in all a good stock ROM, did not see any of the Rescue apps that showed up in previous leaks, I would not be surprised if this ended up being released as official.
I had T959UVJK6 - Stock and took the JL4 stock and Odin and its running now. i found the Market is updated. I did not check Maps or GPS yet and no wipe or anything of that sort just clean and simple.
You dont need any of the 2.2 leaks for the new market. I'm still running stock and it eventually popped up on my vibrant.
All of my previous roms had been taking an inordinate amount of battery during phonecalls. I chalked it up to the antenna signal being weak and having to work extra to get signal.
So i began comparing with other android handsets and try enough their signal strength (dBm) would always be better than mine.
Now, with this rom, the signal strength is beyond fantastic. At least in terms of the number. It hardly goes above 84 dBm while in previous roms. A 86 dBm would be the best i ever got, and even that would be for limited periods of time. It would hover around much larget values which are bad.
Other than that, the ROM has much to much bloat which is eating up CPU cycles. But it has the 3E recovery so i cant boot it. And i cant figure out how to do the fix (even though i do know that there is a a thread for that)
So i am waiting for an odin rom which is rooted and Deodexed and hopefully bloatware free. Otherwise it is a brilliant rom. (oh, btw, no stock andorid keyboard as well.)
hey guys, dont know if this works for everyone, but i flashed from stok ji6 to jl4 using odin and everything was fine except the error msg i got for mms "error in server response". a tmo rep actualy helped me and he fixed it. if your problem is the same, go to the camera, slide the menu from the side, hit settings, go to resolution, change it to 3.2mp, take a pic and send. it should work and then you can change it back to 5mp. thought id share since thats the only problem i had so it seems great now
JL4 has been working great for me. It finally pushed me over the JI6 hump. I used Titanium to freeze most of the bloatware. The writing to internal/external SD is fixed. With the previous fix, I could write to one or the other but not both. My "own number" shows up which in my case was needed for my Verizon FiOS Remote DVR app to work.
Regarding the blurry MMS issues, I've never had it. But then again, I strictly use Handcent.
Battery life, I don't know about yet since I haven't run a specific build for more than 24 hours. Been going flash crazy trying everything out.
Oh wait... I did notice one minor issue that hasn't happened every single time. Sometimes after unplugging the micro USB cable, status bar still shows connected.

Yea, I was in the market, made a mistake and closed it. Opened it again and the new one was there.
It force closes way too much for me. At least 10 times a day the damn thing force closes on me (I'm desperately trying to find useful apps for my phone, so I'm in it a lot lately).
Stock JL4
Running it since it became available. I love it, not very different from stock JK6.
Pros:
No force closes yet.
No noticable problems
Flash working fine
Quadrant cpu score slight boost form JI6
Wifi calling
Better battery life than JI6, and same as Jk6.
I have always liked Touchwiz
Cons:
-When running touchwiz, widgets still cause a slight lag when scrolling through the 7 homescreens. This is just touchwiz, and has always been like that.
-The new JL4 modem in my opinion doesn't offer a strong 3G signal like JK6 did.
-I can't turn off geotagging in camera mode

That's something I just noticed. Signal bar wise, seems to flucuate like the original JFD in 2.1 and doesn't stay as full bars as much. But, speed wise, it seems okay. I don't really care what the bars say anymore as long as I can hold a 3g connection.
-- Edit --
Just flashed JK6 modem and it does seem to be more consistent then JL4 for me. Also applied Voodoo Lag fix to it and it's screaming fast to my eyes now.
I'm really impressed with this rom. Very snappy out of the box, signal strength is amazingly improved for me! Very noticeable improvement.
Update: GPS is much improved...saw 14 birds and locked on 12 in 7 seconds. This is a huge jump from any previous rom I've used.

*thumbs up*
Performance was good on its own (no lagfix). There was very minor lag when an app installed in the background, loading the app drawer sometimes, and the new Market (which was a more noticeable lag). Still, it was nothing compared to stock Eclair. There was also no real wakeup lag to speak of. Pretty snappy for a stock build. I just Voodoo-ed it up anyway because it makes it that much more smooth and fast. With Voodoo, apps load faster, including the new Market.
Modem is working out well so far. According to my signal widget, I'm getting H speeds in my home, though I don't think this build has an H indicator in the Notification Bar.
GPS locked on quickly with no problems. My problem was never locking. I was always losing the lock and never regaining it during navigation so I will update after I use it for an actual trip.
Update: GPS stayed locked during the whole trip. I am impressed. I should also note that I ran Samsung's GPSRestore app before using the phone for Navigation and that this is the updated version of Maps.
Since this is a stock build, it came with all the T-Mo bloatware, which I uninstalled with Ti Backup. If you like WiFi calling, this would be a good choice for you. Note of warning: if you uninstall WiFi calling with Ti Backup, it will keep FCing so you will have to force reboot by holding down the power button for 10 seconds. It's fine after that.
My battery life has been bad since a couple of builds ago so I can't really accurately comment on how it is. I can edit after a recalibration.
Overall: stable, fairly fast and with no glaring problems to speak of. If you like stock, grab this ROM.

Did you set up Visual Voicemail?
No I didn't as I don't use visual voicemail. Br1cK'd suggested the following which I totally forgot about since I've seen this before.
"Did you set your voicemail carrier to your service provider? This is set under settings, call settings, voicemail. I noticed in the newest ginger clone which is jl4based that google voice is a voicemail option in that menu, I haven't noticed that in any other previous roms/frameworks, and wonder if that may affect your notifications."
Unfortunately, I already went back to JI6 and once again flashing back to JL4 to try it out.

I tried the initial NAND build upon release but had to go back to Winmo for the following reasons;
Higher battery drain than Duttys Family Rom
Led stuck on all the time after a message
No screen rotation
Crashing playing .wma files
Contacts listed by first name, no way to change it without editing it all.
Random freezes, slow to respond after standby, low volume in calls even after trying the speaker fix, g sensor would not calibrate.
All in all, enough to put me off. However, having gone back to winmo I can see that android is the way I want to go.
So, simple question; which build, if any, has the most of these issues fixed particularly battery drain and rotation? I am not bothered about getting 'under the hood' to tweak everything just a nice clean stable ROM with no fancy UI tweaks.
And I have searched on this for days but there are many, many opinions in hundreds of pages of comments. Thought I would ask here for the benefit of anyone else looking for a nice clean android build.
I have only tried the CM build (call me a fanboy), and it's really stable. I have noticed the 60mA battery drain still happens at times, but using Quick Reboot (free on market) one or sometimes multiple times fixes this without too much effort.
Speed, stability and features (well, the ones I use, didn't do a thorough test on everything) are all good.
I will no doubt slap my forehead for this but what is the CM build?
Has any build so far fixed the battery drain and sensor properly?
Cynagen mod =cm
I'm using MDJ's gingerbread its very stable and plenty of free space but no gps usb or camcorder apart from that smoorhest Android build I've ever used and one used most
i suggest NexusHD 1.9 NAND version, it's very stable, smooth and fast and i have no problem with it. just works well ;-)
Are these suggestions based just on personal preference or do they address those issues I had in the first post i.e battery drain, lack of rotation (G-Sensor problem I guess), LED stuck etc?
Appreciate your input all the same but I feel like reflashing Android today and want the best ROM...if those issues are fixed.
CM based or Nexus1. I think that until they are optimized, Sense are a no-go for Nand : too heavy, too big. You will be left with 50-40mo for apps and that includes apps2sd. Count on the double with CM and N1 Nand's. And in terms of battery life, G-sensor, they work perfectly.
The Led seems to give problem to most of the Nand for the moment...
Downloading the Nexus 1 rom now, I can live with the led if sensor and battery are better, especially as it is so easy to get back to winmo if needed.
I Know Ill Slap Myself Too For Asking Nooby Questions...but
Does it Matter What Radio i Use To Flash nand android as long as its above 2.08.whatever number ....i forgot....will it still work
I think I am on 2.50.14 and it installed like a charm. Absolutely great Rom; getting 2ma in idle and everything I wanted works fine.
Two things though;
1. LED doesn't blink to notify of messages
2. .wma files don't play (maybe that is normal for Android).
Just one thing to bear in mind (I didn't). As this is non-sense you cannot use HTC sync so I spent quite a while getting my contacts back in via business card from Outlook.
Great rom so far though. Nice and clean UI.

Try HD2ONE froyo cm 6.1.1 nand.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10246269&postcount=228
It supports using your existing cm6 data.img on sd card. This alleviates the issue of low device storage.
This was rock solid as an sd build and better on nand.
I'll be sticking with this until gingerbread has all features working.
Now I love my DZ; it is by far the most capable phone I've ever owned, but it has this nasty habit of failing me whenever I seem to need it the most.
For example, today I was stuck behind a huge accident on the highway with an exit coming up in a few feet. I thought, "hey I'll just see if I can find a detour around it from this exit." Pulled out my phone and quickly launched google maps. right then, it completely stops responding to all touch input; the trackpad and physical buttons work fine, but nothing was registering on the touchscreen or capacitive buttons. I eventually had to pull the battery to fix the issue.
It just seems that these things tend to happen whenever i need to lookup something quickly on the phone (when im just screwing around on it, it works perfectly fine) be it completely not responding to touch input, or something weird happening like getting stuck between 2 homescreens, or the notification panel gets stuck halfway down, or massive input lag (5+ seconds) to the point of it not being usable.
And everything goes back to normal after a reset; but by then, I usually don't need to lookup whatever it was anymore.
The most frustrating part is that I can't seem to figure out whats causing it. I'm running virtuous 2.0.0 without any sense 3 additions, and I generally only have 1 or 2 tasks going on on the phone at once (usually just music player + whatever I'm doing). I originally thought it was just a performance issue, so I've increased the clock up to 1.5ghz (using daemon controller) but it hasn't has of an effect.
Any ideas on what else i can try?
Sounds like simple bad karma, I suggest donating to a charity or going to church
Other than that, I'd have no idea, sorry. Seeing as its not totally regular, there'd be no good way to easily pinpoint the issue. Maybe see if the rom produces a last_kmsg?

although people say roms are 'stable' and can recommend these ROMs as "dd" (daily drivers) you cannot say that will be completely reliable. This is because when people say a ROM is 'stable', it's only after using it for 2-3days; unfortunately, roms gather clutter and begin to slow down over time. Not a problem for many flashaholics, but a problem if you're a one-rom kinda guy (or girl). So if you're not one-night-stand rom kind of person, here are some tips:
Reset your phone regularly. Phones start acting funny when they've been on for too long
Try stock ROM with addons flashed on top of it, rather than baked in a new rom
Most reliable roms i've experienced are Stock Gingerbread or CyanogenMod. Try those
If you are flashing a new rom, use SuperWipe, this can help get rid of clutter from old roms

Hmm, so you believe that this is purely a rom issue?
I havent run a stock rom for a while, but from what i remember the experience wasnt that pleasant, there was significant lag almost everywhere in the ui. Although i will admit that was back with froyo; i havent tried a stock gb stock rom yet.
Ill probablygive cm7 a go. Ive just grown so used to some sense features that its going to be hard for me to give them up (mainly recent apps in notifications, news widget, t9 dailer+manually linking contacts, and remote ring and forward on htcsense.com)
Has anyone had similar issues running virtuous sense 2.0.0?
As far as recent apps goes, long pressing the home button is a standard feature of android that brings up the most recent. Stock is the last 8 (I think) cm7 can show 15.

Higher overclocking will make your phone LESS stable, not more. I'd stick around 1 GHz, as this is known to be very stable on most Z's, and usually does not result in any significant additional battery drain. OC may not have anything to do with your random hangs, but its probably not helping either.

I'd agree. I really wouldn't ever go over 1.2ghz for a daily driver personally.
I run my ROMs at 800mhz lol, so I don't see the advantage of a huge overclock unless you're just bragging about benchmark scores.
its funny when u wanna show off your phone and you take it out of your pocket acting all cool and stuff and when u press the power button it wont wake up or you get a blank screen
haha its just bad karma for u like nipqer said
Try the stock pre-rooted gingerbread...I just flashed t last week and it is way faster than my froyo was, and amazing battery life, for me anyways, I do have an extended life battery though lol. Anyways as far as speed it is snappy on 800 mhz

I've noticed the random hangs / glitches @ 800Mhz and 1Ghz, so I'm hesitant to say that the OC is the cause.
What do you use for stability testing? I've been running quadrant nonstop to test new OCs, but I don't think that benchmark stresses the cpu enough.
i am running Virtuous v2.0.0 w/ kernel unity v6 on it on desire z.
i've found bugs like
1/the top black bar ui, top left corner, some times i see the background wallpaper rather than the black bar. but it goes away if i pull down the notifications.
2/ the mail with microsoft exchange active sync, if i delete the mail it will automatically resync and downloads all mail including the on i deleted. but i got around that by using pop/imac instead.
all rather minor as i got ways to go around it.
i did have a similar issue where the touch screen goes unresponsive and i had to force close it, restart phone to get it back alive. but then i readjusted the clock speed and never had it happened again.
the phone is at around 825mhz with governor smart ass on wake time max, unless im watching 720p movies on the phone then i ramp it up at 1.4ghz.
sleep time on 368mhz max with governor at conservative.
i had it on like this since 11/09/11 (as i made a rom backup) and it never occured yet.

I've been playing with the wake min and wake gov settings the past few days. I have it set at 600Mhz min, performance gov; I haven't noticed much difference in the battery life, but I'll have to do more extensive testing to be sure.
Performance feels slightly better, especially after a fast wake. can anyone give a detailed explanation of the behavior of the different gov settings? I can't seem to find much info on it.
