I have never run the OC'd GPU kernel for fear of damaging my device. I have been running Tiamat kernels since about day 3, though. Today I installed the latest ROM release that includes the Tachi kernel. Whenever I reboot it causes odd display errors at the Motorola logo. The first time this happened the screen would freak out for about ten seconds before the Xoom would reboot. I restored a nandroid to 3.1 and had no problems, so I upgraded from that to the latest Tiamat again. I checked stock rooted 3.2 while upgrading and had no display errors. It seems to be linked to the ROM / kernel. I didn't test just the kernel on the stock ROM, but what would cause this other than the kernel? Just looking for some ideas. The Xoom runs fine after booting.
Here is a short video showing what it does now. This is MUCH better than what it was doing.

dude..put that thing down, and walk away...my friend lost his arm when his Xoom blew up after one of those glitches!!!!!!
i'm just kidding. that glitch comes with the Tachi kernel, not the Tiamat rom. and according to the notes the developers provided, it's perfectly normal and it stems from updates for the Tegra platform released by nVidia that they integrated into the kernel. so no worries.

What he said. Just chill. It's all good man. Just a few minor graphical glitches. It won't hurt it in the least bit.
That's the best answer we can give you because it's the correct answer, and the only answer as well. The posts before me covered it like a boss.
The graphics glitch, as many have said, is perfectly normal and anticipated by team tiamat.
Now, if during the glitch a strange voice tells you that everyone is against you and they all have to die....call tech support.

So I'm really struggling here. I hate using stock ROM's because the battery life really blows and they are slow.
I've flashed a number of custom ROM's that speed up the phone significantly and drastically improve battery life. The only problem is after a few days of use I almost always start to get intermittent problems like random reboots, force closes and texts not going through etc.
I always follow the install instructions to a "t" and I still get problems. I must be missing a step somewhere along the way or not fully understand the cons of running custom ROM's or something.
I'm at my wits end. At one time I thought it must be the phone so I swapped with Sprint but I still have the same problems.
Currently I am running Scrambled EGgs22 V7 and I love it (when it works). I've tried bonsai, urban roms, you name it. Its the same results with every one. They work fantastic at first and then slowly become unusable.
Is there anybody out there who has experienced something similar to this and can help me remedy?
Having journaling enabled does help with data corruption if you find yourself having to start over a lot due to force closes.
Are you under/overclocking and/or undervolting at all? IIRC, stock speeds are ~400/1000Mhz.
Sounds like journaling is youjr answer. Make sure it is enabled and never pull the battery without shutting the phone completely down..after the vibration.

Run 'Fix Permissions' from Rom Manager. That has solved FC problems for me in the past.
Have you tried reformatting your SD card? If it has gotten mucked up, I imagine that could start causing issues.

If you want to disable journaling then just make sure to never shutdown your phone improperly or drop it and keep good backups to restore from. I like to do a nand every 3 or 4 days then I can always do a restore advanced data only.

True, that is why your $400 device comes with stock ROMs that are RFS so none of these FCs happen unless a third party app is written poorly. If you run custom ROMs these are the chances and prices you pay.
A $2000 computer still requires regular backups for the very same reason.

BUT! Your forgetting something: you paid $400 for a phone
which Sammy provided to you via the vender of your choice with a STOCK ROM preloaded which works that way they have wanted.
Now from the moment you came over to the dark side and preloaded a rom there are good things and bad things that come with the package and you can't blame sammy for them.
Also, this is the world of trial and error: what may work fine for 500 phones will not work sometimes with yours. Every part of your phone though it could of been made the same day and from the same batch of my phone, are different and this will make you have different results.
Keep that in mind, your in a world that pose much risk to your device, but that's the fun part! Taking the risk and rolling with it!

I don't have any problems with the stock rom. I'd love to have a stock rom that doesn't blow on battery life.
I understand that there are risks and pros and cons with custom roms but I can't seem to get a custom rom that is stable in any way shape or form. I assume that its my fault because I don't see anybody else having the same problems.
I guess I'm just looking for some help in getting a "half decent" custom rom experience but I can't even get that far. Without fail, every time I load a custom rom I get force closes and random issues. Then I go back to stock rom and I'm charging after two hours of use. I can't win.
@mark8503 I'll give that stock EG22 leak a shot and see what happens.
Thank you for everyone's help!

I assuming this is the stock rom you speak of:

and this is the kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185221
Please confirm.
IMO, if turning journaling on slowed down your phone enough for you to notice, something went wrong
I've run the on and off zips, and the difference is hard to see
Also, since RFS has a journal feature, I can't see how EXT4 with journaling on would be slower, all other factors being the same
You want stable and solid, ODIN an EC05 modem, install SRF 1.2, do you voltage setting, and call it a day
If you want the bleeding edge, you just have to accept you need precautions, as on the edge, **** happens.
Pick your poison and go with it

5:50 pm and battery is awesome! So far so good, this deodexed stock EG22 is running great, no FC's, no random reboots and battery life is excellent with chris41gs kernel. I just hope I didn't jinx it.
I'll report back after a few days of use.
Here's the thing Genocide is stable, Nubernel is new may have newer features,
BUT: It tends to lag and freeze up when listening to music and using other applications like Calculator. When it freezes the music distorts and i also notice when i touch the screen when listening to music it crackles, as well as on Genocide but not so much.
If this new kernel can be patched as we see bugs it would be more of a consideration to use. For now im sticking with the old stable genocide 2.0 w/su.
Are any of you guys who are using this experience these problems, i am running SRF 1.2
I would like to add to the fact I switched to genocide and it does all this as well what could this possibly be happening for the only thing I did was re enable journaling and reinstall srf 1.2 because was getting google fc's every 30 seconds.
Any help is appreciated

Coming from sfr1.2 with the latest twilight.
I had some freezes browsing with sfr 1.2 and nubernal. Also when I battery pulled I had the crackling issues in the audio as well after it booted up. I tried restoring a couple of backups I made with twilight kernel and the audio crackling still existed. I also tried wiping everything, convertng back to rfs and back to ext4. The crackling was still there. I had to odin and reroot then restore my backup and the audio was fixed. Anybody have any ideas why that happened and why restoring a perfectly good backup didn't fix the crackling in the audio???
I never really played with genocide so I can't comment on that.

Well i think that's retarded to re ODIN back, there's something fishy going on making crackly noises.
I have been using Nube for the last 2 days and haven't noticed all of the things you described. I did have a horrible amount of lag and freezing when i first flashed it but after making some tweaks in Voltage control i haven't had any problems. I had been running Genocide for the last month and honestly in my early use of Nube i think it is performing very well. Plan on testing it out a little while longer but at this point i think Genocide was a little bit snappier.
this is my girlfriends phone, it's currently rooted and rom:do, running 2.2 with Bali 1.8 kernel.
Lately she has been complaining about everything being slow and esp her phone book, messaging app and other stuff just closing on its own when she is in it.
No force closes just closes like she backed out.
I went ahead and flashed the new touch wiz 4.0 just to see if it helped. It did for a short time, then the problem returned, I tried a different launcher, same problem.
I'm unsure what else to do or where to look as I've done everything I could think of, even remove apps and other things.
She has all her work information and stuff on there so she is anti wipe.
Can anyone think if what could be causing these issues?

You can try booting into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik and then do a fix permissions just for kicks and it should clear up some lag and spontaneous closes.
Thanks, I'll try the dalvik and cache wipe with fix permissions first.
To be honest I'm not new to Android and find myself pretty advanced with this stuff from the evo, to the epic and now the nexus and I've never had any issues like this, but then again when I had any problems i just would wipe down the phone and start fresh. I'll post back and see if that helps.

Is she maybe Undervolted? Might want to try another kernel. Maybe Bali X 1.2 which will allow for and OC to **guess* 1.2. Other than that, I would say to pull everything off and put on PC and either reflash her ROM or put a new one on there.
If you are going to maintain it for her, then ICS-Passion is a good option. If not and she just wants a basic 2.2 that works, there is Bionix, Toxic8, Deranged9 and Fishman's Bionix (redux) which are all quality ROMs with great battery life.

That's what I was going to say. Did you recently flash the kernel? Just like the GPS, each Vibrant seems to react differently to different kernels. Myself, I cannot UV. Causes all sorts of wonkiness.
Thanks for the replies everyone.
i just cant get why this is happening, the phone was being super laggy, i rebooted it. right away on start up twlauncher force close, then it was laggy as hell.
i went ahead and started messing with govenors and it seemed to stop being laggy.
i went ahead and flashed Bali X from regular bali and overclocked it and went to ondemand.
then the phone kept getting the sleep of death and never would wake up, so i just went and flashed overstock kernel, and im leaving it ondemand for now.
i dont think these kernels are undervolted, but i always figured as for my nexus a too low of undervolt would cause a random reboot, not slow sluggyness.
im basically at the point of flashing a new rom, but trying to save the way everything is.
Hey sorry I forgot to tell you Bali X does not play well with on-demand. Set it to conservative or performance. Also if running profiles then no Screen Off. These cause sleep of death. My bad.

ill see if the problems return, if she does have issues ill go back to balix, overclock and set to either one of those you mentioned, im not running setcpu either, i use nstools for the cpu settings.
Scratch that, lol problems have returned and only a reboot will solve..

Hey, I had a serious issue with my Vibrant as well. I am on CM7, but this really helped. I'm too new to post links (lame), but google this "Problems with /datadata? Causing force closes for Google apps". Go to the Rootwiki page and read the thread. It should help.
I did this and thus far only a few FC every now and then, but easily cured through a "fix permissions" in recovery.
If you can't fix it I second the post saying to flash a different rom. Project v was pretty stable if I remember correctly. Also the new version of bionix 1.3.1 is supposed to be pretty stable too. And GPS!
Vibrant + ICS
Problems have returned, and it doesn't matter what rom i flash, same problems happen, things auto close without force close notices, doesn't matter what launcher i use or what rom or kernel, it's time for a full wipe.

Hello guys, I currently own a nexus 2nd Gen it's rooted and running the latest cm 11 nightly build. Sometimes it make a buzzing noise while I'm listening to music or watching videos or it froze and restart itself that happen at least 3-4 times a day. I was wondering if that happens anyone else and how to fix it
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I've never had the buzzing but I don't use the speakers much.
The freezing and rebooting I have had both on stock and cm11. Best uptime I'd get was ~24 hours.
After flashing the latest Glitch kernel it's been up for ~106 hours. All location services turned on, syncing, google now, same apps etc.
Too soon to tell I guess but definitely an improvement.
I thought I was the only one it's getting really annoying, other roms are fine
I sometimes have buzzing sound for a short period of time. But I am using stock rooted 4.4.2.
I get this too, also happens in games
happened to me only on stock cm11
I ask this everywhere but does OTG work with latest cm11 nightly for flo? It is important for me since I cannot flash any other kernel to get it working

Can you tell all your glitch kernel settings?
Buzzing Noise fix
Flash the stock Android 4.4.2 ROM back on your Nexus 7 and the install Xposed.
Why would you need a custom version of 4.4.2 on your tablet that's already running 4.4.2 when the Xposed Framework works just as well.
EDIT - I've had no problems with buzzing noises or freezing on stock rom with unlocked bootloader and rooted.
Yup - same here. I've actually experienced this on both CM 10 and CM 11. The audio distortion out of the speakers is horrible. CM roms are the only ones that have this problem. I wonder if it has something to do with DSP Manager that's included with the CM Roms??
I agree with previous posters in this thread too - Stock rooted 4.4.2 is all you really need. Been flawless on my N7 2013.
I have the same issue
It usually happens when I watch a video from youtube or twitch. My tablet buzzes like kind of similar to someone getting an answer wrong in a game show.
I just need to go back to stock.
Can confirm that there's a buzz sound and a 1-3 second freeze using the CM11-M2 build.
After flashing the Jan 24 CM11 build, and the glitch kernel (using all stock settings except overclock to 1.7ghz cpu and 500mhz GPU), buzz sound is gone and all is well.
It happened to me with latest cm nightlies, and with all of them I had freezes and hangs. I went back to stock rom with elementalx kernel and i don't have any of these issues. I think cm overall is less stable and faster than stock rom. it's good for non nexus devices, but with nexus is better to stick to stock. I've tried other ROMs as well, nothing compares to stock in performance and stability.
