Too slow

I have no idea what happened.
I'm using Cyanogen last update and the phone is so slow it is useless.
Specially when closing an app and going back to the home screen... it takes forever for the phone to be available and ready.
What is the problem ? Any hint?

Im guessing you have alot of apps open in the background then, you should consider getting a task killer app from market.

Not really...
A wipe fixes everything.

Thank you guys.
The phone is slow 5 seconds after a reboot.
Home screen takes forever to appear and some time forces close.
I might try another room, I don't know.

I had the same issue. Here is what i did to fix it
Did a Nandroid backup, wipe ,flash with the 1.6 base rom first, then the latest CyanogenMod rom.

Thanks
Will try your suggestions and post the results

Mine was slowing to a crawl as well, turns out (I think) it didn't run as well with compcache enabled. Since disabling it again it is running much better.

My hint would be ditch Cyan(buggy arse rom)mod and switch to something better and more reliable like either rom in my signiture.

Erm I do believe I did! *spits into spittoon and listens for the 'ting' noise*
I'll even go as far to say any dev putting the word stable in the title of a rom (at his own admission when it is anything but and needs to be tested) yet still continues trying to fool himself by still saying its stable deserves to have it labelled buggy crap

Oh I know that fella, I'm using Super D at the moment which is a mix of cyan and dwang and whilst they use the base they also inherite the annoying little bugs too
He has done one hell of a lot for the community, still doesn't detract from the facts though.

I used cyan for a week then went back to hero.Now im back on hero(espresso).

On the concept of "stable" I think people have preconceived definitions without merit. Take for example the definition of a "stable stochastic process", which though it is nicer to deal with than many Levy processes, is still a pure jump process. If one can accept the idea of a pure jump stochastic process as being "stable" then it is no problem to see any Cyanogen ROM as stable.
As a side note, I have not had any issues with CM that could not be easily resolved. I love his ROMS, but have a lot of respect for the extremely stable work put out by Enom (I only used his ROM for awhile, but switched to CM for the ease in theming).

This has happened to me before with Cyanogen but I found it was more to do with the SD Card. It would happen anytime I removed the USB cable without "Ejecting" the phone first, amongst other things.
The solution was to format the SD Card and reflash but the downside is you lose everything including apps.

Recommendations please Help

I just got the eris on the 20th of july. I had heard that HTC was really good but I have started running in to problems.
I rooted and I am using evil eris rom 3.0. I noticed yesterday that the awake button started not working after further investigation I noticed I could tap on the side and it would wake up.
Also just noticed today that was getting pretty hot and using the battery significantly. only lasted 5 hours.
I am considering returning the phone as I have 30 days.
Anyone have any Ideas

Search through the forums for specific problems you are having, then trouble shoot. Have you reflashed the ROM? Tried any others? Did you do a nandroid backup, if so have you tried a restore? The phone could be complicated so if you don't want to put in the effort id recommend returning it.
Sent from my Eris using XDA App

Did you ask your question in the Evil Eris thread ? Maybe others running the same ROM are having similar issues.

yeah, I tried two other roms for a short time I liked this one the best. At first I didnt have any problems.
Are you suggesting i wipe this flash then reflash it again.
Also are you suggesting I restore the original.
Ive been searching just Havent found anything yet.
I really would like some input on if you guys think I should work through this with the phone. Are these phones reliable and such I dont mind tweaking it a little to get it right. But I dont want to have constant problems

HTC does make great phones. However, you shouldn't base your opinion of the phone off of hacking into it and modifying it (especially being a less-than-a-week-old first-time HTC owner who hasn't done a lot of footwork to troubleshoot the issues).

Yes you should wipe and reflash the rom and see if that does anything. If that doesnt help, do a restore (supposing you did a back up). Also a lot of these roms are over clocked so the phone can get hot from using it a lot especially if its on the charger.
Since you rooted your phone, you have void your warranty. Basically if verizon decides to check the software builds and whatnot and discovers you have rooted, you might not get another phone. There are threads on how to unroot your phone, so I suggest doing that before you return it if you decide to.
Also I might suggest sense able 3.1 very stable rom

Hey bud thanks for the positive feedback. Your help is greatly appreciated.
I do really like the phone. You know all that power in such a small package. Thats the reason for these forums I believe so that we can help eachother.
Ill try that and see what happens.

I really hated my eris until i started using froyo based roms.. They are a bit buggy especially the camera but well worth the effort even if just for battery life. I went from 15-20% lose an hour to 5-8% unless i use alot of data.. then its more like 10-12%.

Is there ever going to be a version of recovery that works 100%?

First off, my tone is from frustration. I've experienced this snafu now on both versions of clockwork recovery. The phone won't completely shut off while charging. If I power the phone down unplugged, then plug it in while off, recovery boots up. If it's plugged in while powering down, recovery boots up after a few seconds.
I suppose I could flash cwm when I need it then flash back to stock recovery. I guess that's what I'm going to have to do until it might get fixed. I thought going to version 3 would fix the bug but apparently not. I've tried to flash a new recovery with rom manager but an error always happens.
I flashed version 2 the way the root guide said and flashed 3 with fastboot. I forgot if thats the way it was done with 2 or what. I am starting to wonder if I'm doing something wrong because I don't see anyone else complaining about this.

Are you looking to bump charge? You've asked this issue a multitude of times and each time its been responded to. (at least in my mind, might be others too) and it is a known issue with CWM recovery and from what I've read Koush isn't really looking at fixing it.

I can't speak for what'll happen in the future but it's not you. That is a known issue with the recoveries we currently have. I believe most of the complaints are in the how to root thread.
^ Shift Faced

I am not talented enough to "fix" the problem but it is discouraging to hear that it isn't deemed important. Maybe I was spoiled with my moment, evo, and epic. It seems as if the shift has the smallest developer base so far. When the evo came out, the devs were all over the place.
Come to think of it, I don't think I've even seen anyone besides myself that has a shift.

You don't think not being able to charge while turned off isn't really a minor problem? And you're using the Moment as a model of progress??
^ Shift Faced

That's what I started on

Yeah, me too. And every ROM was basically themed stock. No CM7, no MIUi, no cool ish like the New Sense. Jeez, they just finally got 2.2 working on it! I'd be using CM7 right now if the headphone jack worked. That ish there excites me.

First..the facts show the shift as a far more superior platform to any samsung..probably even the tab..let alone its not that your problem isn't important...it just isn't to anyone but you so there is some importance..with everyone complaining about all these issues and the limited dev support maybe we should figure out whether we want a rom..a kernel..a recovery fixed or a genie in the bottle..patience is the virtue here because everyone keeps flaming about support for this and that..maybe the devs have a life..maybe they died..maybe they think its funny to see people whine and complain like they owe us some kind of development

Toastcfh has a CM7 where everything works but sending MMS and the headphone output. And he's been working on it everyday. And Cyanogen responded to someone asking him on Twitter if there'd be CM support for the Shift and he said "Yes, soon". I think it was on 2/17.
I have a feeling my Shift is gonna be very happy soon

Soon isn't official yet tho I may look into a way to donate to toastcfh then

How did you install yours? Maybe your hardware version of the phone is different than mine? I bought my phone the day after it went on sale. Hardware version 4

This is the tutorial I had to follow to install my recovery..at the bottom of the page someone rewrote the 2nd command to enter and it worked for me..but I had to follow this tutorial & not the one stickied..let me know if this works..

[Q] Random Restarts

Hey everyone,
I just put the cyanogenmod 7.0.2.1 on my HTC EVO 4G about a month ago. At first it was working fine, now it will just randomly restart not while I'm ever using it, but when it is sitting idle it will just restart at odd times. Has anyone else had this issue?
Everything else with the ROM is working awesome. Please Help.

No issues here, why don't you come up to date and flash the stable 7.0.3.1. Are you running any custom kernels by chance?
Here's the link to 7.0.3.1 just flash over your current rom and wipe dalvik-cache.
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/get/update-cm-7.0.3.1-Supersonic-signed.zip

Oh thanks, been really busy with work, and hadn't had time to check for any updates. I appreciate the help very much. DL'ing the new ROM now.

Upgrade to the newer version. Maybe it'll help? Definitely clear cache & dalvik when you update.

I was running CM7 and went to a different Rom because of the reboots and been fine since. Tried all the usual things but phone would still freeze and reboot. Last one I was on was nightly 65. There are also a few threads around about the ROM bricking phones that it makes crash. As usual, nandroid if things don't work out.

That's non sense, bricking phones say whaaaaat. I've been running cyanogen roms since the G1 and I've never heard of cm bricking phone's. Don't let this person talk you out of cm lol.
If cm bricks your phone you're (1) an idiot, or (2) shouldn't be rooting your phone in the first place.

I have ran many different roms and CM7 was the ONLY one that caused my phone to reboot many times a day. A quick google search can show you threads about owners who had phones that bricked after running CM7. I never said it was gospel, I just dont need my phone rebooting multiple times during the day and it was way more often when I had wimax connected. CM is a great rom but its not the second coming of Android and not worth my phone rebooting during the day.
And I am running Smooth N Sexy V1.2 A sense ROM that looks like gingerbread.

Reboots
I've been through several ROMs now and the reboot problem appears to be not a ROM issue!
Here is the story. I had started with Baked Snack, very good, but I wanted more battery and to try CM and get away from Sprint messaging update nag.
CM worked great, I updated to 7, until the reboots started to happen during heavy use of Angry birds.
So I restored to early CM 6.x, and reboots continued off and on every few days, getting progressively worse.
So I tried Warm 2.2, same issues.
I went back to CM7 and still trouble.
I went to Fresh and It was fine for a week, and then on Friday, (I noticed that Friday was significant), reboots again.
So after a month of this the reboots are so bad that I can't use the phone. I called Sprint, de-provisioned the EVO, went back to my Palm, and then unrooted and went back to Stock ROM, but with no Cell access.
The phone is stable now. As long as it's off the Sprint Cellular network!!!
All of the reboots were related to cellular activity. Messages coming in, ads being updated, calls coming in, tower switching, roaming, or worse of all, no tower signals at all.
I will post back here if the phone remains stable without cellular. But all of the research I have done on the issue has pointed to cellular access. I am on wifi and all the apps and functions are working without issues so far. I am starting a dialog with HTC to see if there is a hardware problem.
The reboots also caused heat in the general area of the SD card...don't know what else is there but I do know the cellular antennas are on that side of the phone. Leaving the battery out all night, after an off state recharge would help stabilize the phone for a while, including cache wipes and factory resets.
But once the phone had been on for a while, or Friday morning would come, the reboots would continue.
I have been a computer nut for 30+years and I solve issues for a living. I strongly suspect the radio hardware or firmware as the culprit in this reboot issue. Every other account of this has had similar connections to the radio use.

Agreed 100% , I've been rooting since the day it first became available and never bricked my phone or got stuck in a boot loop by just flashing a "rom". If I get reboots its because I either flashed a kernel or a very unstable rom. It makes me laugh that you think "CM7" is causing the reboots. You say its CM7, I say it's idiots who probably don't follow directions.

Dude its all good, no need to call anyone an idots because we all can have different experiences. Any ROM thread in the dev section has reboot posts some have resolutions, some go to another rom and some seem to be hardware issues. Just like you have been rooting since day one like I have doesnt mean that CM7 is NOT causing my phone to reboot when no other ROM does not.

Once more sir, I spoke from my own personal experience. Plain and simple CM7 was causing my EVO to reboot, and especially when it was on wimax or multitasking. Even from a clean install without restoring anything except for logging into google on the device. I spent 4 days troubleshooting the issue including trying different versions and nightlies. Oh yea..and before you ask the temps were normal on the device no higher than any other time.
But yet again another know it all here on XDA. Dam i must be dumb as **** to been flashing my phone since the froyo root method was released and never had another ROM give me that type of issue. The ROM is not worth me going back to the stock RUU and swapping hardware to since that seemed to be the the last variable after my troubleshooting. Not a big ****ing deal...my phone didnt agree with CM7 like I have seen a small number of other users out there. You dont see me around ROM threads always *****ing and moaning about issues when resolutions or known issues are posted on the first page or doing any other nonsense that I will guess others on here are doing that you may be referring to.
Obvious you are one of those XDA "experienced pros" that are quick think someone has no idea what they are doing with their phone. Post count doesnt mean everything bro.

Ok guys, im not much of a andriod fanatic/developer but dont mind trying things out. The problem is there is wayyyyyy too much out there and I am clueless as in where to start. I bought the vibrant few months back. It came rooted and had Nero v3. Now after a while, its starting to suck ass. Battery life is a joke, my quadrant speeds are a joke, theres enough lag to make me wanna throw this thing at someone, hell when i recieve a call and click on talk, i have to wait literally 5 seconds for it to register what the heck ive told it to do and that is, answer the damn call. So now i just dont know where to start, so many roms its not even funny. Should I go back to stock and try gingerbread? Should i put a different rom? please help!!!!

My favorite rom is bionix-v-1.3.1 just do a google search it is fast, great battery life, and looks cool also

Ok guys, im not much of a andriod fanatic/developer but dont mind trying things out. The problem is there is wayyyyyy too much out there and I am clueless as in where to start. I bought the vibrant few months back. It came rooted and had Nero v3. Now after a while, its starting to suck ass. Battery life is a joke, my quadrant speeds are a joke, theres enough lag to make me wanna throw this thing at someone, hell when i recieve a call and click on talk, i have to wait literally 5 seconds for it to register what the heck ive told it to do and that is, answer the damn call. So now i just dont know where to start, so many roms its not even funny. Should I go back to stock and try gingerbread? Should i put a different rom? please help!!!!

One of the newest 2.2 roms out is by Br1ck'd called Zendroid 2.1, it has all the latest tweaks and improvements. It's super fast and smooth and I'm getting an easy 24hrs of battery with moderate use, give that a spin.

Start here, or here. Pour over pretty much every thread in the development section, and then go to town. This is how I learned, anyway. I started with Trigger, and have pretty much stuck with it from the beginning, in all of it's forms, but I switch out kernels like underwear. Right now I'm running Trigger Redux with Bali-CM 2.1. Battry life with the latest Bali isn't what I would want, but it has a lot of good extras to make carrying the extra battery around with me worth it. Good luck!

Download the ROM and put it on your internal SD card (13gb), now go to recovery and do all 3 wipes...wipe data/factory reset///wipe cache partition, then scroll down to advanced and wipe dalvik cache. i personally do each 3 times to make sure I get everything. Then got to install zip from SD card///choose zip from SD card and confirm install.
BTW when reinstalling from titanium, make sure you select app only NOT app+data, you may have to sign in to everything again but it eliminates alot of headaches.

ok guys so im going through the steps mentioned to flash a new rom. Basically I have backed up my apps through titanium backup, backed up my contacts and sms messages. Im getting an error message while doing this part
Reboot into Clockwork Recovery and make a backup (Bootup holding both volume buttons until you see “Vibrant” then release).
ok this is the error i am recieving when doing the nandriod backup
"E:cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (or @)
Cant mount /mnt/sdcard

can anyone help me out? im stuck

sorry can't help you there, all my contacts are backed up automatically with google so when i flash a new rom and sign in they are repopulated. I never back up by sms msgs. I just follow the steps I posted above and never have a problem.
That msg could be though that you're using the wrong SD card, external instead of internal???
