Phone Getting Slower - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've had my Mytouch 4G for awhile and flashed a lot of different roms. I make sure to do a factory reset through recovery before installing a new ROM. It seems like its getting slower though. I only have one widget on one of my home screens and when I look at the task manager it says most of my memory is being used but it only shows like two apps running. In addition I moved my apps to the SD Card but it still shows that almost half of my phone memory is being used. Any suggestions?

Which Rom are you using now? Have you updated the kernel?

Using Virtuous Unity 1.29

i would say, if you like HTC Sense & like to stick on to it, upgrade to Virtuous Unity v2.39
If you want a faster rom, try any AOSP roms like CynogenMod 7 or MIUI.

I'm sorry I meant to say 2.39

well, if you like to stick on to sense, do a complete wipe & reflash the rom.
Else, try CynogenMod or MIUI......

Is their a better way to wipe besides doing a factory reset through recovery?

Don't do a factory reset when you install a rom. Just do a complete wipe through recovery.
This is the reason why your phone getting slower.

How do do a complete wipe?

With about 4/5 essential apps running all day, I get 400+ mb ram all the time.. is 114 normal for sense roms ? As I am using CM7/variations.
You haven't tried just rebooting to free up some RAM?

You're absolutely right, my bad. I've heard of some people bricking their phones to where it doesn't turn on and they manage to get it replaced. I really don't know what else to think of. Have done a factory reset?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
I would brake it but Idk how many replacements I can get this would be my second repayment. And the factory data reset... I don't really fill like downloading all the apps and really doing the all settings you know.

What ROM are you running? Have you tried backing up and flashing another ROM? I really think you should do the full wipe to see if it helps. I know it sucks having to setup the phone but there's not much else to do. Maybe someone else can help.

Dell streak rom.

How hard is it to port that to our mytouch? I'd really like to try it.
Sent from my demonSPEED Glacier using XDA App
I believe it would be possible but 1) I haven't even seen the rom and 2) you'd have to resize EVERYTHING since dell streaks a tablet, correct?

Are you full wiping each time you flash
Yes, I'm wiping, before each try. What's weird, though, is it's only happening on the ics roms. I can run gb roms, with no problem.

Why not just keep CM7, but download Gingerbread Launcher from the play store?

I'm not trying to be a thanks whore, but when someone assists you on XDA, it is customary to hit the "Thanks" button. I've noticed that several people tried to help you, but I didn't see any thanks on their posts. Maybe you weren't aware of the button?
