Hey everyone, Picked up a Vibrant last night, but ive run into an interesting issue.
The market is SOOO laggy. It takes up to 30 seconds to go between the main Market screen and the download screen (without any spinner). No data is going up or down, during that process. Also, when downloading\installing an app...it takes another 30 seconds or so after I hit install for the Okay or cancel options to come up (they came up instantly on my G1).
I cleared all my market cache, market downloader, etc and I am rooted.
Anyone w/ a suggestion or advice. This market issue is really a deal killer, as it takes like 5 minutes to install an app, let alone do several updates.
Thanks!
Seriously.....no one is having issues w/ the market lagging hardcore?
No issues here.

Not this bad, no.. but it does spend too much time on the loading page.
I noticed that too. it was on my Nexus too, I thought there was something wrong with the ROM, but now its on Vibrant as well. It was never this bad about a month ago.....
Same issue here, at first it was really, really bad and I had some other general lagginess. I did a factory reset and that seemed to help. It still has lag when compared to my MT3G Slide, but it definitely improved. I read somewhere that a lot of this lag is caused by the way the memory partitions are set up. Not sure about that though. Hopefully a firmware update with fix a lot of these issues. Fingers crossed.

Well maybe its not unique to the vibrant?

I believe this has a lot to do with the stalling issue that was reported before. I did experience the market lagginess you're talking about, but its gone now after applying the app data storage fix. This fix is a temporary solution until Samsung has something official.

(Sorry I couldn't post the full link because the moderator won't allow new users to post a link)
Interestingly enough, I attempted to isolate this issue, and I found it doesnt happen on a non-rooted phone, but as soon as I root it, the issue reoccurs. Very strange, considering rooting this phone does very little to it. Anyone w/ similar results? I will try the app data fix until Samsung makes something official, but at this point, the market is barely usable. I am even considering returning the phone if I cant get the results improved before the 30day grace period is up (although I really dont want to...this phone is great otherwise)
I also noticed that downloads never finish according to the market, they say "installing" indefinently, even though a "app was successfully installed" notification appeared, and the app can be run.
I have not had this issue on my vibrant, however on 3g it does take alot long to load as expected i guess, but I have not experience what you are, my vibrant is rooted as well and i have not applied the stall fix
I've noticed a little lag with the market right before I got my Vibrant using my Nexus One.
Well, glad others are having similar issues and its not just me. I am using WiFi to ensure 3g isnt causing the lag, and Ive completely wiped everything in order to try and diagnose this issue. Please post any suggestions or tips you have found helpful, thanks!

I have had lagging issues, but not in the Market and certainly not as bad as you. I finally just rooted and applied the fix to move apps to NAND and my lagging issues have subsided a lot. Just wanted to let you know that I have had no Market lagging issues at all - rooted or unrooted.
Today I flashed my 1st ROM (MYN's Warm 2.2) very exciting and exhilirating. I also downloaded HTC Kernel #17. I used Unrevoked 3 to get superuser and used My Backup Pro to backup. I used this guys instructions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvWcIBcZvxw
Everything seem to go fine. I did what he said and wiped Dalvik and Cache after I installed Myn's ROM. Will that automatically install the HTC Kernel #17 after a reboot or do I have to manually do that like I installed the ROM in Recovery. Also what does the Kernel do? I follow you guys alot on XDA and you guys are VERY HELPFUL. Thanks for any help
Also, what are some other cool ROM's. I can see this becoming an addiction
Myn's ROM comes with the HTC #17 kernel already, so you don't have to flash it. If you'd like to install a kernel though, it would be flashed the same way as the ROM.
The kernel is the primary system components of the OS.
Thanks for your quick reply. After I installed Myn's ROM I wiped Cache and Dalvik again, will this hurt me and will I need to install MYN's ROM again. Everything seems to be working fine.

Everything is fine. The Dalvik cache is built upon first boot of a new system. You wipe it after installing a new rom to remove the remnants from the old one. You can wipe the dalvik as much as you want honestly, it's just going to make your next reboot take longer because of having to build the dalvik up again
Cool. Thanks. This whole flashing ROM's is pretty darn cool.
Welcome to the club!
Myn is a very popular ROM for good reason. Another popular ROM is CyanogenMod 6.1. It is missing 4G and HDMI at the moment, but the team is working on getting those included. A lot of people swear by it!
I have heard about CyanogenMod 6.1, but keep reading good things about MYN's Warm 2.2. So far so good
No need to change if you are happy with what ya' got!
I know a dude who has the Fresh ROM and when he turns his EVO to landscape and if he is ion Apps, they will turn landscape as well. That's really nice

Addicting indeed!!!
I just flashed my first last week, I think I flashed my 4th ROM this past w/e but I wound up going back to the 2nd one. I've tried the following ROM's if you're interested??:
- MIUI (12.3) Awesome ROM, imho, but it was somewhat buggy still related to MMS, receiving voicemails and 4G no worky. It DOES have some really cool features built into it that most other ROM's you'd have to download the app for it's features.
- Evo NonSense (3.3) I really like this ROM too, somewhat similar to the stock but has a cooler look and like the way it navigates via ADW.
- Myn (RLS4) I liked this ROM but, honestly, was a little let down by it's simple layout, I think the hype I've been reading about Myn ROM's got me a little over anxious........lol.
- CyanogenMod (6.1) I think I had this one up and running the shortest, it didnt really do much for me but I will admit that I think I was in too grumpy of a mood possibly so I might try it again. The biggest reason for it's short lived existence is the lack of 4G, like a few others above.
I wound up going back to Evo NonSense just cuz I like the way it navigates around, the slide lock screen and overall look/appeal of it. I'm about to upload it's latest version.....

Man, thanks for that explanation, I was unaware of it's importance since I didnt know what it really did.
Not to raid the O/P thread but I think the answer might benefit him as well. One thing that I've noticed jumping around different ROM's is that I lose important information cached in my Apps. Is there anyway to recover that information from the back up and reinstall on a freshly installed ROM?
For an ex. I use PasswordSafe Lite to store all my important pw's and account info......I just noticed when I sync'ed up to AppBrain the information is gonzo.......is there anyway to avoid this from happening or backing it up or actually getting into a backed up copy to copy n paste that data in???

that's pretty normal. I don't think the early Sprint roms did that, but I think the later ones do. Also pretty much any other launcher you install will do the same thing.
I keep hearing about launchers (like launcher pro). What do they do and do you install them like a ROM? What is a good Launcher?

They allow you to use a different launcher other than sense, which means you can customize it to your hearts content also you can do landscape mode which is what you are after. Launcher pro and adw are the most popular I prefer launcher pro but try them both out for yourself also they are both found in the android market which means you dont have to flash them like roms or kernels GL man if you need anymore help pm me bro
Thanks bro. I just dl'ed Launcher Pro. Will try it out. I do LOVE that loop scrolling. That's really cool
Edit: Quick question. One of the main things I like about HTC Sense is the Flip Clock with My Location and Temp. I don't see a Clock Widget for Launcher Pro. Is there a clock like this for launcher pro? thx
You want fancy widget my friend. Sense style clicks for launcher pro. You can get it in the market.

This ROM is eating battery quickly I have the 3500mah battery and as soon as I take it off of AC Charge it drops 5% in a matter of a couple of minutes and drops 10% in about 10 minutes. On stock it would take about an hour to drop 10% (this is all without doing anything). I am doing the same as before, nothing has changed other than I put on this ROM. Anyone have any suggestions?
Hi, I've had a droid x for a few month now and just recently updated it to apex 1.4. Anyway my question is about my phone rebooting randomly. Seems like every day or two my phone will just reboot. I probably wouldn't even notice if it didn't make a sound when it booted up.
I bought the phone second hand and ran it stock for a long time although it was rooted. It has rebooted as long as I can recall. I was hoping upgrading the rom to apex 1.40 might fix that but no luck.
So my question is, is this normal? Does your droid x occasionally reboot itself?
Since mine does this do you think that it might be a hardware problem?
thanks for any help.

It's hard to tell what the cause is of reboots. It could be some many random things. Most running DX’s don’t have a random reboot quirk. Corrupt file/s is normally the culprit. I would back up all your information and apps (nandroid) and try a fresh factory reset. You can SBF or maderstcok if you wanted or, you can use the factory reset option on your phone and see if that helps. If not, a clean slate is what you might need. If after that it still reboots, you will need to SBF with RSD Lite or maderstcok and if it still persists, then I am afraid you will have to rather live with it or use it as a fancy paper weight.
Are you overclocked?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
No I'm not overclocked and I was thinking it might be a bad file or something but after reflashing from stock to apex 1.4 and removing a lot of the blur apps I was having great speed and everything was running real nice. Then this morning it just rebooted...
Before I flashed it when I had it on stock rooted it was doing this reboot thing for awhile. Maybe every couple days. Not a huge deal since it reboots pretty fast and doesn't do it often. Just a pain sometimes.
Only things I think it could be now are bad hardware maybe I got a memory error or something. Or perhaps it is something I have installed that is causing it. I guess I could uninstall all my apps but then I'd have to cry so I guess I'll just live with it. I just wondered if this was just the baseline reliability of the device... Once upon a time I had a palm treo devices and it would crash and reboot all the time. Even when I replaced it it still did that. Friends that had one had similar issues. So for the palm treo it was just the standard that it would crash frequently. The bad thing is it would crash and not reboot
Reboots with Liberty 1.5
I am having the same issue with Liberty 1.5. I first moved from stock to Darkslide, and had no trouble. Then when liberty 1.0 released, I moved to that. I had other issues with liberty 1.0 but not reboots, but now with 1.5 I am getting reboots. I have already reformatted the SD card, restored to factory, and did a fresh install, but even though it seems to be less frequent, it has already happened twice today. I do have the throttle hack installed as I was getting clipped to less than 150k down.

It may be placebo, but I feel like the patch has made it more stable, but at the same time I have had three resets and a black screen freeze since I have installed it. My guess is in the throttle hack. Tomorrow I will do a fresh install and try to narrow down the culprit.
Quick brief:
I am still on 2.1, but I am rooted.......but not using any custom ROM/kernels. I mainly wanted to root to rid of the bloatware. I am rooted, and have CW installed. I used RootExplorer to rid of the bloatware. I have one ongoing issue, and 2 getting progressively worse.
1) My battery has progressively started to wear down faster. I've had my phone over a year now, so I went ahead and purchased a new factory battery. I have properly cycled the battery as you should with a new one (kill it dead, let it charge fully.....did this a couple times). I have not noticed much more of an extended life with the new battery, over the original.
2) I have been using LauncherPro since I rooted. I understand a custom ROM would probably run a ton better, but I barely was able to root my phone successfully by myself.....so I am not sure I want to try flashing it. I really like the customizable features LauncherPro has. Recently though, the phone has gotten really laggy. I notice it most when using the text feature. I had Handcent installed, which I downloaded on the phone at day 1.....so I figured it was that app hanging up. I uninstalled it, and am using the default messaging service. Sometimes its fairly quick, but it still hangs up......even using the default. I also tried DL'ing a new Launcher, and tried Regina. It was lightning fast, but after a few hours....it wouldn't run properly. I assigned it to run as default, but after 3-4 hours.......it would prompt me on which launcher to use.......so I uninstalled it. Now I am still using the default TW launcher.
3) When I rooted, I deleted a few apps that are critical to run nav......like text to speech. I reinstalled them and got my nav working again.....but 90% of the time when I use nav......it takes the upwards of 10-15 minutes for it to find my location. Wtf? My phone is super hot by then too, so obviously my battery drops significantly.
Anyone help out with any sorts of resolution? Fwiw I don't have any apps running that I can see in task manager. I also have cache cleaner......so that is emptied regularly. When I started getting laggy, I installed the cache cleaner.....and it seemed to help alot. Then it got right back to as laggy as it was before......
I'm stumped.
Well, 2.2 came out a while ago and 2.3 is on its way. I say upgrade to 2.2 then to MIUI.

Oh ok, thanks for clearing it up.......sorry for the noobiness.
I have a friend that has flashed his Galaxy multiple times.....so I am going to get him to flash my Fascinate. I'll find the DL for that one, and show him.
Anyone else have any idea why I could be so laggy, so sudden? Also, I noticed lag when using PowerAmp as well.
Not a clue, haven't been on 2.1 in such a long time. 2.3.5 here. But usually doing a full wipe/reinstall solves any lag issues. As for the gps, well, it sucks tremendously on our fascinates. I suggest the MIUI rom and glitch kernel. I get great battery life, no lag, 10 sec gps lock, and so much more

Did you use Super-1-Click-Root to root your phone? It has a nasty side-effect of lagging up the phone post-root (at least in my, and others' experience)
Try turning off your phone, pulling out the battery for a minute, putting it back in and rebooting. That fixed mine.

Nope, I did it using one of the methods in the sticky in this forum. Thanks for the suggestion though.
I'd suggest following the steps to flash completely back to stock FIRST using pentafive's rom here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178544) and ODIN (your friend will know this if they've flashed a lot of phones). Do not use PST, it doesn't always work. Once you get fully back to stock, flash whatever new rom, radio, kernel, etc that you want (see here for a good list... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013312).
I was having a lot of force closes after rooting (manually via adb) and a flash back to stock using penta's ROM corrected them all. I then flashed on to a new ROM and have had zero problems so far.
maybe get 2.2 or 2.3 and get voodoo?
Update:
Haven't flashed a ROM yet, but I got bored and wanted to try some easy things. I popped the cover off and took the SD card out, and rebooted the phone. Fast as lightning on reboot, with the SD card out. I stuck the card back in......and it was fine. It went 3-4 days, then all of a sudden starting lagging again really bad. Mind you, before I just pulled the card out......I clear my cache, don't have any apps running besides the launcher and whatever app I am trying to run, and have also rebooted with/without removing the battery many times......to no avail. So after 3-4 days, when it got laggy again......I took the SD card out and rebooted, and its fast as lightning again.
Corrupt SD card possibly?

Anyone have a suggestion? This has happened many times now, it keeps repeating itself.
Phone starts lagging, removed SD card and reboot, fast as lightning. After 1-2 days, lagging again. Repeat.
If your SD was corrupted the phone would let you know, or things would start disappearing from the card.
This is the nightmare that we fassy owners have got to go through till we find the right Rom and tweak. Gingerbread has made this phone way better whether you use a TW or an Mtd Rom. Do some research and try one of them
Don't be afraid, it's fun

Thanks for the reply. I am definitely not afraid to change ROM's, I'm just afraid to do it myself. I'll be doing it in the next week or two, a friend from work is going to flash it for me.
As for the laggy times though......I can't see how the card isn't the culprit. Every single time my phone gets laggy, when I pull the SD card it.....its lightning. A few times also, when the phone is starting to lag......I'll open my gallery and its usually all jumbled up, or it won't show me all of my pictures.
Maybe I need to reformat my SD card? Can I do that through my phone somehow?
So tried to add this to the alpha 5 topic, but I do not have 10 posts yet.
I flashed from MIKG 3.0 to alpha 5 on Friday with no issues. I ran the fix for the google calendar and was happy with the overall setup. I added the COD tweaks and was impressed with the speed/smoothness of the system. Camera worked out of the box and didn't have any real issues until tonight.
Phone randomly restarted, no big deal. but then I noticed that i had degraded signal. did the *18 call with no change. I had to send a few texts and they all hung and finally failed. restarted phone and same issue occurred.
With the ROM still being a WIP I was not upset, it just isnt a daily driver yet, close though.
next issue was when i restored from nandroid. I hung at the boot screen for ever. Pulled battery and did full wipe and tried again to no avail. I was getting worried at this point. I did have an earlier nan backup of MIKG and that one worked.
Oh and much to my kids dismay angry birds would not load.
Not really looking for any help just trying to get my posts in.
Thanks!

(you should use amon-ra 2.3 if you aren't already) and also the mikg restores take a while to load because sense 3.0 is huge, if it doesn't load in about 2-3 minutes then just pull the battery and start it up (don't wipe) and it should boot right up in a reasonable time. it happens occasionally. and welcome to xda saw you had one post so i figured i would welcome you
I have flashed multiple versions of MIKG all wit CWM, it was up in the 7-10 min boot loop time. the kick stand was getting warm. I started with the batt at 90% and when I was finally back up it was at 20%.
I as well can't post. I came from cm7. I used from manager to back up cm7 then install alpha5. Worked fine for me. Using cwm instead of ra though. Not sure if that makes any difference.

I would try to flash with ra. The rom is working great for me as a daily.
Only issue I had with Deck's ICS was no GPS for Navigation.
You may have to do the GPS fix by going into sense rom

I have tried it with no success. Guess my phone just hates GPS It happens with every other ROM I flash. I keep the GPS fix file on my SD card, GPS status/toolbox app, and a fresh sense ROM at hand just in case.

Yeah there's something always wrong with CWM I have used amon-ra since February and have had no problems with it. Also as a sidenote with amon my mikg back up with 300mb of apps took all of 5 minutes to back up and like 8% battery. If your backup drained 70% of your battery there is definately something wrong haha

Glad you posted this here.
I don't have enough posts either. I like the ROM but i had a few random reboots too. I flashed from Team Nocturnal stock RLS.5. I also use CWM for Nandroid. I was getting around in ICS well but had a few hangups. Calandar was the biggest issue, but I think I remember that being mentioned, so no biggie. The only major issue I cared about and I don't know if this has been any one else's problem, but my benchmark was significantly lower on this ROM. 805 on quadrant. Just wanted to post if anyone is reading. That would explain why it was a little jerky.
almost there!! lol
ics was really fun to play with. have u tried swapping to nova launcher? it seemed to free the rom up a bit and make it much more tolerable. I do like trebuchet because it seems to look better imo.
my gps seemed to work fine after i flashed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15760767&postcount=30 it did cut out eventually but that was after a flash to a 3.0 rom ( not to do the gps fix btw) and nandroiding back sooooo i dunno could have been something got fubared in there
there was a calendar fix somewhere in the 400 page post. you had to flash a specific gapps and calendar fix.
Flashed Decks a5 the day it was released. Loved it. I'm still running CWM and haven't had any issues. I did install the GPS drivers listed in a GPS fix post and use Waze for navigation. Quick lock and solid. Gmail sync and calendar sync worked as well, using Jorte as my calendar. I used the file titled ICSGoogleApps12-16. My only issues were the jerky video and most games I played wouldn't load.
Amazing work, I tried all the other ICS rom's and I had less issues and smoother operations with Deck's.
Great talent. I have no complaints cause I know it is all a work on progress. I can't believe my old EVO is running ICS before my buddy who just got a new phone...... priceless! !!!!!

After flashing any new ROM or ROM update I always flash the latest GPS Fix from here ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132412
... and the latest Radio Combo from here ...

It always fixes GPS lock for me (CM7 nightlies, ICS Evervolv, Deck ICS). Always Nandroid backup of course. I don't use Sense ROM's so YMMV.

Similar experience as well.
I'm using the Google Calender sync and don't seem to be having any problems with it. Haven't tried that GPS fix though, gunna try that tonight.
I've noticed as looking through the official thread it seems many people have a problem with the trebuchet (sp) launcher on page 7 of the widgets. I'm having no issues. Anyone else like this?

I had an issue with the stock launcher on page 7 of the widgets. I just switched to Nova Launcher and have had not problems, in fact I personally like it better.
I've also been using this rom lately. Although it has some features broken, its still very very usable. Makes me realize how much I don't use "premium" features.

Also, this from us very snappy and smooth. But when I do quadrant benchmarks, it gets a score of about 945, which is lower than stock evo and lower than my 1500 scoring miui rom, but it feels faster nonetheless. Is this a product of the hardware acceleration?

Disregard what I said. I'm actually using drew's. So many ics roms out there.

So I've been running decks for awhile now, no problems. Only thing is I get a random freeze and reboot about once a day or so. Anyone else having that issue?
