I've had my EVO for a while, rooted and working great with Froyo 2.2 on it. My music player app required root to be installed (miui i think is the name) Earlier this year, I updated to GB and i've had nothing but problems. Still root, flashed an RUU on here that was rooted already.
Music player force closes randomly, facebook has connection errors, other apps force close for no apparent reason. Phone has gotten extremely sluggish even after wiping cache/deleting all texts. Basically, I'd love to know which is the newest RUU I can flash that's got root still. I want a clean fresh install and hopefully that will solve my problems.
I recently acquired an HTC HD2 for $100.00 from craigslist. Refurbished phone with WM6.5 on it. I got WP7 working on it and I'm jealous of how fast and smooth it is. Too bad WP7 couldn't work on our EVO's... alas, I doubt we'll ever see that day.

i love this...even after reading and searching (it appears) this one just rephrases the "big question"

Answer
As long as you're s-off, you can flash the official RUU and still maintain root. Search the threads in the dev section and download the 4.24 RUU and you'll be g2g. I just did it with my fiancee's and she still has root.
Yes Marty, I built a time machine out of a DeLorean.
Or you can just do a full wipe and flash the stock rooted rom (or any other rom) through recovery. If you like froyo more than gb, try something like Myn's Warm 2.2 or Sprint Lovers - they're pretty close to stock.
You can backup your apps/data with Titanium Backup, but don't restore any system stuff. I'd also advise against batch restoring your apps. Just restore apps as you need them and you'll be surprised how many apps you don't need and how much faster your phone will be.
If your phone still feels sluggish, try increasing the vm heap size to ~40-48. You can do so with the app "VM Heap Tool".

I guess that would be a lil easier to do than my suggestion eh?
Thank you all for the quick replies. I'm getting very close to just going with CyanogenMod again since it worked so good on my Hero.(Is it true they got 4G working?) I'm getting fed up with the force closes. A lot of them are related to superuser which is getting root priviledges from the OS, correct? I wonder if I could have S-off but somehow not be nand unlocked, could that be causing this issue or am I being dumb. (feel free to call me dumb, i'll admit average knowledge of mobile phone OS architecture)

No. S-off is NAND unlocked.

I might have to make the switch to CyanogenMod... I'm sure it has less bloatware installed on it. I use ADWlauncher instead of Sense... not sure what else I'd be missing with the change
No.
I was under the impression when an app loads and needs SU priviledge, it communicates with the superuser app and is run under root permissions if approved. I try to run apps that require root and they crash at this step (which I thought was necessary) and then won't perform root functions. Was I mislead?
No. S-off is NAND unlocked.

Cool, I wasn't sure because I rooted so long ago, I forget the terms anymore. I should probably refresh myself with the basics of android modification.
Thank you all for the help you've provided, and hopefully others find something useful from this thread as well.
Okay so from this thread, I found this post which was linked to this thread and decided to use the "fix" suggested.
Now, I get a bunch of "this app has stopped responding", which YouTube, Bluetooth Share and some others. I don't get any data connection either.
When I open Root Browser, same thing happens.
I was going to try using ADB to try and install Root Explorer but I just get "unauthorized"
Anyone know how I can fix this? :\
Yes i was same problem with polish Kitkat ROM (YouTube, Bluetooth Share,Wifi. I'll try factory reset and then new clean install this ROM. Problem is solved for me ( my Note 3 is now rooted with recovery. Sorry for my bad english

Clean install should fix it, I had that stupid rotation issue, so I reinstalled and re-rooted and it sorted itself out... I think KK is still possibly beta hence the issues. But it's turning into a proper ballache now...
I had exactly the same problem after trying that fix. I tired sooo many different things.... But in the end I had to do the wipe.... First time I done a wipe since I had my phone.... I lost a shed load of stuff and I hadn't backed up my stuff for a week either and my full rom backup dissent work because of the new bootloader. I wish I hadn't tried the fix as I didn't really need to

Yeah about 6 or 7 of them were from trying to re-root yesterday
When I flashed stock 4.4.3 update (kernel, radio and firmware) I thought maybe I've installed a bad ROM.
Every time I backed out of certain applications, the last application in the recent apps list (the one before the one I just backed out from) opened for a second and closed it self.
For example, I played Boom beach, sent it to background using HOME.
Then, I used App Stats, played around in some screens and then backed out of it -> Boom beach opened for a second and closed itself.
Then I installed the 4.4.4 update, and this still occurs...
This doesn't happen with every application... I can back out of most apps without any issue.
This never happened on 4.4.2 and lower.
It may be an app issue and not the system so I'd love a feedback from you guys before I contact the apps developers.
Am I the only one who experience this issue?

You suggest a factory reset through settings will do the trick?

I factory resetted in TWRP then Fastboot erased leaving no trace behind, and then fastboot flashed 4.4.3. It's stock.
It's probably not well known because people may be using their device differently, pressing Home to exit an app instead of using Back maybe... or they don't think much of it to report it, I know I didn't, but it does get annoying after a while.

Well, I don't have this bug. I just opened CSR Racing, pressed Home to minimize it, then I opened eBay application, then I pressed Back, and it went normally to home screen, CSR Racing did not appear.
EDIT: I managed to reproduce it. CSR Racing appeared for a second when I exited from Settings. I never noticed this until I read this topic. So, bug exists.

That's a known bug... No kernel or rom can change it. Funny how people think changing kernel can solve it lol.
Possibly it's related to Android system/systemui. I think only Google can fix this issue...

I'm sorry to ruin your LOLness but it may be a kernel/ROM related issue. I already found a 4.4.3 ROM (LiquidSmooth 3.0, didn't check 3.1) where this bug doesn't occur.
Moreover, the kernel is responsible for cleaning up the memory by killing and restarting applications.
I created a small application that behaves like a taskiller (restartPackage/killBackgroundProcesses) and kills every app I exit, just for testing purposes and it didn't work as expected on 4.4.3/4.4.4 so I think it's probably a kernel issue (4.4.3 received an updated kernel which is used on 4.4.4 as well).
It can still be a systemUI issue but even if it is, that can be fixed on AOSP ROMs, without waiting for Google.
If you have a link to the reported bug ("known bug"?) that would be great.
Edit. Bug persists with CM11

Hello guys.... this is one of my first posts here so go easy on me...
Trying to get to the bottom of an issue I'm experiencing on my Nexus 4 16GB after updating.
So I had been postponing updating to Lollipop for months... (was still on 4.4.4 stock cuz I didn't quite like the new UI) and decided to update Sunday (Aug 10th) morning. Big mistake, apparently.
The OTA 5.0.1 update made my phone become unstable, lag, and crash at random. Constantly get "X ins't responding", where X can be anything from Launcher to System UI to Chrome! Regular google apps are generally non-responsive and supper laggy.
For Ex: Can't open Play Store, the app tries to open but all I see is a white app window,same with Photos, or maps... ironically Whatsapp and certain other non-google apps are opening.
So I currently can't even use my N4 much, I'm trying to find out a what's causing this and if I need to revert the upgrade or flash a ROM or something,
My 4.4.4 was rooted FWIW, and now it's not. Not sure if it's helpful, but I have about 1.3GB free internal storage, and 1GB free memory when I run. So I don't think the issues are being caused by an app I installed or some service running wild. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Thanks. Yeah, this seems to have fixed it. Factory flashed it with the stock 5.0.1. Had to wipe it clean but a working phone is a working phone.
So it seems that if you're unlocked and rooted, you're shouldn't install OTA updates?
I read somewhere here (can't find the link rite now) that after 5.0, the OTA updates don't work right, if it detects the bootloader has been unlocked and/or you're rooted? Is this correct?

You might try upgrading to 5.1.1 LMY48I, it is all the bug fixes for 5.+, and should be more stable.
Hello,
I have installed the android 6 to my p8 lite dual sim phone. C432b574 - I got the OTA update recently but it didn't update, and others told me to update manually, so I did.
I updated from b170.
The problem is the battery started heating up like never before with normal usage. Besides that when I checked the consumption levels it showed that hardware used 95-99% and softwares used the remaining. It is unnatural because I use the phone like I used to use with lollipop. I had been using it for 2 weeks now.
I tried wiping cache partition, updated all of the apps and someone told me the google services may screw up with the new system so I deleted those too, the problem still on.
Should I take it to the repair shop for a battery exchange? Maybe mine is faulty?
Regards, Ghostmuffin - thanks in advancew
I've also had those problems, the high hardware consumption is probably a first time error. For me, the one's causing havoc are the Google Play Services, actually you didn't remove anything, you can't remove them without basically turning your phone useless. Time to consider a deodexed ROM and using amplify (requires Xposed)

And you installed deodexed update or how did you manage to solve it then?

I have never rooted a phone before, one thing is not clear for me, can I install a custom android 6 while it is currently on the phone or should I downgrade it first? The other question is, does it wipe my data?

Well my device also heats up when playing heavy games like gta san andreas, modern strike,asphalt 8 etc.... I think this is due to octa core processor. Which generates more heat as compare to quad core. I haven't used any octa core devices other than this so might be wrong.

Removing updates fixes nothing, as it seems to be a problem with Marshmallow itself, and yes, I downloaded a custom ROM, it's not a very advanced procedure but you should be careful. You should install it over the current ones, making wipes with a custom recovery, and yes, it will wipe your data, however you can back it up from recovery.

Yes, but they're much more customizable, as I said, if it's a wakelock problem, Amplify will solve it. I recommend Sokoban's ROMS and Nautilus
