NO froyo builds are stable on my nexus one.

I'm serious. It's slow everything force closes and I figured now that cyanogen had his new build of Froyo....I could give the kang o rama a try. but everything is still force closing and I have no idea how to fix it and I'm about ready to just give up :/
What do I do?

Are you completely wiping everything before you install a rom?

Give yourself a wipe, or at least a cache partition wipe
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

if its slow then something is using a large amount of cpu power.
I just caught Flickie doing it (thanks to CPUStatusLED)....but it stopped before i got to uninstalling it.
Backup your apps, wipe everything data, ext, cache..then install a ROM.
My phone was freezing/rebooting 3-10 times a day before I did the above and now its quite stable.

EVERYTHING has been wiped. Dalvik, cache, Factory reset, everything I could do without doing anything to the SD card.
I'm seriously at a loss for words.
Currently on kang o rama's 2.2 cyanogen build A2 btw is what I'm trying to work with. Though it has been no different for other roms. I Mean it's so unresponsive and always force closes everything

2.1 works ok ?
2.2 doesn't you say? after all wipes and a clean install of Cyanogen and other ROMs? How about stock Froyo FRF91?
It may be a hardware error if the stock one doesn't work. So even if you got an unlocked phone, Google/HTC should replace it because it's hardware. If you're installing it wrong SOMEhow.. then that's another story.

EDIT: NVM believe I found it

I just went through this.
Just download the PASSIMG.ZIP from the latest Eclair build and put it on the root of your SD card. Go into bootloader and it will automatically pick it up.
In a minute you'll be at stock Eclair. By the time you can get into the Settings menu, you'll have the majority of FRF91 downloaded. Let it do its thing and probably within 5 minutes you'll be sitting pretty on a stock FRF91 Froyo build.

If you've used the Froyo App2SD function, then you might need to delete your .AndroidSecure folder on your SD card after a flash.
I never touched that folder and the last few times I flashed a ROM I was getting weird problems where I couldn't install things, it would hang, I would get FCs, etc. I deleted that folder, rebooted, and everything was cleared up for me.
...Of course you'll have to install those apps again.

Yea thats a good idea. The short time I've been on Android, it seems like A LOT of CRAP gets brought into new builds. Everytime I flash a new rom, the Market downloads all the crap from before. lol.
While I can see it as being a nice feature, it can get troublesome. When my replacement Nexus comes tomorrow, I'm going to backup my APK files and format my SD card. Start completely from scratch on Froyo 2.2

Usually I have NO problem hunting for things myself...but I DO NOT AT ALL...see this "Passimg" in that thread.
ANYWAYS I'm gonna try reflashing the radio to see if that helps

This is why I just use stock stuff, I want my phone to just work

Anyways good news...I've gone more then a few minutes without it crashing. . I think the radio think might actually have worked.

And you're sure your N1 isn't defective?

Other then the occasional data connection failure...yea Eclair worked perfectly.
And sriously...guys I need the effing stock rom image I wanna try something else BUT I don't have it.
Oh yea. AND NOW I'm trying to reinstall the apps but it says out of space...and I can clearly see I have 111 mbs of internal storage. I think it's installing it on the SD card. IDK HOW TO MAKE IT STOP and I'm so frustrated I'm about ready to dump my n1. I've been screwing with this forever and I was excited. The first build of Cyanogen and nothing works...

Wipe, install rom, reboot and hold volume down to load the bootloader, power off in bootloade, pull battery, remove microsd, replace battery, boot and set it up. See what happens.

you might just have a faulty hardware (bad ram or something)

Force close loop

Hey. Well, let me first say I've literally spent the past 12+ hours working on my phone. I am exhausted mentally. I searched the forums and I was shocked to see that only one topic came up about it and it wasn't even about force closes. It was a 100+ page CM post.
I rooted for the first time today using a method posted on these forums + extra info I found about adding the OTA radio leak, and installed UV Hydra kernels. I got Rom manager and flashed Skyraider 2.2 Sense. I booted a few times too and all was good. I swear I thought I was doing it all right taking it slow, rreading all of the info over and over. A true noob. Everything was all cozy until I got my old apps and tried to make a backup with Titanium.
It's so cliche to say it but I need serious help. I don't know what to do and I'm near tears after all this work. I have dozens of force closes going on immediately after boot and even thereafter. At one point it asked me to reset up the phone. I can't run any app because they force close immediately.
I don't know if it's the Rom, something else, or me.
I know this is long winded. Please forgive me. And if this is in the wrong forum section, please forgive that too.

Do a full wipe in recovery and flash the rim and kernel again...but upon restoring, only restore downloaded apps, not system apps.
I remember when it took 12+ hours just to get root (for some people anyway) those were the days.

Wow, That sounds like a seriously horrific days. Not sure if I can help, but i'll sure as hell try to. Can you verify that you Baseband Version is 2.05.00.06.11?
Did you create a nandroid backup of before you flashed any of the kernels? If you did I would restore that backup as I know some people have had issues running the old .29 hydra kernels with 2.2 roms. Or was this the new .32 kernels you flashed?
If you did not create a nandroid backup I would recommend flashing the leaked OTA from 8/1 located here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742242, this is a leak of what will be close to the stock 2.2 htc will release in the near future. Remember to wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache(located in "advanced" of recovery.) As soon as you flash that and can verify it is working create a nandroid backup of it before you add any apps, I would recommend signing into your gmail, testing camera and camcorder, make a call, sending and receiving both an sms and mms, 3g data check, and then creating the nandroid when you see those are working. After you create that nandroid then start installing apps. Hopefully this can help you out a little bit. If you have any questions, you can pm me and i'll do my best to try and help you out more.

I didn't see you response until after I posted and you are most likely correct. I remember now, when i tried to restore system apps when i had a droid eris, that was not a fun day. Hopefully it's an easy fix and a learning experience, easiest way to learn is to make a mistake. Even though my answer is most likely not the solution to his problem, IMHO it's essential to always keep a nandroid of stock on your sdcard at all times, just in case.

Wow I see alot of info and I'm going to work with some of it but let me add this before I start dinking around today.
Right after I posted last night, I sat on the edge of my bed and had a thought. I had made a nandroid backup when I had almost every app back on my phone. The only ones I ones I didn't have when I got stuck were, Shoot me, Titanium backup, Adfree Android, and Tasker. Tasker being the only one I had before root. The others I picked up after.
SO! I told the phone to use the backup I had and I passed out to sleep.
I'm up now lol and thankfully I'm a stay at home mom so I can mess with this.
The backup made it a working phone again! Which is good. And this morning I had a second thought. When I opened Titanium backup last night, I got a message at the bottom of my screen that said Titanium had set itself up right... but it wouldn't go away. It kept looping itself. I thought it was just a fluke. Oh god... and NOW to think about it, that's WHY I rebooted in the first place. BECAUSE in the midst of it being weird, I tried to do a backup OMG. I wonder...
My Software says
Baseband 2.05.00.06.11
Kernel has a 32 in it

Alright I'm doing this nice and slow making backups along the way.
The only quirky thing that has happened is Titanium backup started spamming me again that it had been given superuser permissions so once again I had to reboot but this time it came up. Slow.... but it came up.
I guess what I"m trying to say is that I don't have a clue now what caused it.
OH! And my kernel is a 32 that came with the rom? The UV one I forgot to put on lol. It's on my SD card but I hadn't installed it. That one is a 29.
I just found a post on Android Forums where 2 people has this happen to them last night as well on Incredibles. They were without root.

If they were without root it could be a phone defect, I was going to recommend selecting fix permissions from rom manager.
EDIT: If ur running froyo try to only use .32 kernels. New kernels r up on Hydra website that are .32 check those out

[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)

Any suggestions?

Not sure what your definition is of a "full wipe", but instructions can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390860
I can guarantee you that if all you can get is to the boot animation that the problem is "pilot error".

Try downloading the ROM again. It might be a bad download.

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.

I get one in a few minutes.
The issue, is the U.S. is shutting down all the file servers due to piracy. MegaUpload, MultiUpload (server end) Now all that's left are the slow ones. Took me 45 minutes to download today.
MD5 df253e3f8825197c08a1f0a0b8c24a81

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....
Took me 10 minutes to download an 8mb kernel... I'm gonna end up a bald man before I get this rom....
And then the download stuffs up and I have start ALL OVER AGAIN.... Then to add insult to injury I have to wait 20 minutes.....

I'm going to look around for some Russian servers. Or something. I noticed one other place, but I have to find it again. They'll probably shut it down also soon.
Next thing you know, they'll shut down GitHub, and all dev comes to a standstill.
Also, I noticed today, XDA is almost at a complete stop. And I can guess who's responsible for THAT!

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.

Issue formatting data under clockwork mod

Folks,
I've been running the ICS Kang project build without any issues (2.3) for the past while. Last night the tablet locked up on me and I powered it off by holding down the on/off button. When I went to turn it back on it now permanently hangs during boot. I can still get into CWM but attempting to wipe either the D. Cache or data hangs. Anyone got any ideas?

Can you restore a backup?
If you can't do anything in CWM then you might have to Odin back to stock....

I can flash a new rom but there appears to be something wrong with the data partition - can't wipe it and tablet wont boot.
You don't happen to have a link to restoring tab via ODIN? I was just browsing for that...

No problem... It should go nice and smooth and once it boots back up check in settings for system updates..

Well, thanks! That did the trick! I am back to the stock Samsung firmware and have already reflashed clockwork. I really don't know what went wrong in the first place, but I suppose that's what you get for living on the 'alpha' edge...
Thanks again! (BTW I did click the 'thanks' button ;-) )

BTW - for anyone interested or suffering a similar problem, in the end this required a full reset - all data was lost which sucked for me as I had all my backups on the device too (don't bother calling me stupid, I've already done it)....
I'm guessing some bug in the ICS KANG alpha screwed the partitions up which nothing short of a full reset could fix...

Sweet! Glad you are back up and rockin'...

phew!
I had exactly the same problem yesterday, and I thought my tab was completely fubar until I came across this post.
I was running the "official unofficial" CM9 snapshot for p4wifi, and before that I ran AOPK build 27, I think. I did not perform a full wipe before going to CM9.
I change roms on my tab very often to try to find the best, so something must have gotten messed up, but it's somewhat odd since it worked in the morning, and then when I came to work it had totally b0rked up on me.
Anyway, this post was a life saver although I lost all my data (didn't keep a titanium backup or a CWM backup on another storage than the internal storage. shame on me).
So - thanks alot raqball!

Never understood why people don't do a full wipe and expect nothing to go wrong.

Hehe, well, I usually do a wipe but this time I read somewhere that you probably didn't need to when going from aokp to cm9, since they are pretty much the same.
But..... Lesson learned

Understandable... but unless the Dev. says no wipe needed, I would always suggest it, even when it's virtually the same ROM, thread, Dev., etc...
At least it wasn't too hard of a lesson.

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.
Running stock ICS on A500, all vanilla.
Any clues?

Apart from unlocking the bootloader and flashing a custom rom, theres not alot u can do its an issue with the stock rom,
Ive found opera mini to have the least problems....if u have beenfactory stock since HC then yr tab could probably do
with a fresh clean install. The OTA updates just install over the top of yr existing installation....i found installing a fresh ics
and full wipe and format did help somewhat, but never fully addressed the browser problems i had...

Shake City got me wondering Have family there, visit often.
I have found that Firefox seems to work OK as well as Chrome but of course no Flash with Chrome.
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.
