Hi, I've been searching high and low for others with this problem but here I am starting a thread...
First let me just thank all the devs who worked on this ROM. Your work is very much appreciated.
Is anyone having issues with SMS after flashing EE 2.0.1? I went straight to 2.0.1 no 2.0 first. Seems to be OK except somewhat buggy. Maybe this is why?
Here's the central issue for me so far:
When typing in an SMS text input box with Handcent, screen would go blank/black and just stay like that with no recovery. Could eventually get back to home but message input would be lost . It got so bad I uninstalled Handcent (crying shame, i loved it) and went back to stock SMS (hate it, booo!). Even with that I still have issues though not as frequent. While typing in text box, text box will disappear and I am left looking at the general text thread, but at least when I pull the box back up my message is still there and I can keep going. Happens CONSTANTLY. I am an avid texter and will have to try other ROMS to fix if I cannot resolve. I'm lazy and don't want to do that .
Should I wipe and flash 2.0, then 2.0.1? OR I guess if I'm going to do all that I might as well flash 3.0? Any more conservative suggestions ?
Thanks in advance !!!!!!!!!!!

i'd suggest going to 3.0, never used it tho. do a nand back up first, and if you don't like it you could always restore back. the update of the rom might fix what ever is causing your issues. i read most of the EE thread, and don't ever recall anything like what you describe. maybe .... you could try uninstall handcent, then reinstall see if it helps any. just might be worth a try.
also you prolly should of posted this in the EE thread. some people around here get pissy when new threads are started.
Evil Eris 2.0.1 is only a flash update to 2.0 - you must have EE2.0 installed first. It also sounds like you didn't do a data wipe before flashing EE either. Personally, I would move to EE3.0 anyways. Framework is working on an update to 3.0 now that will finish the incomplete theme as well.
What g00gl3 said. Do a data wipe (backup first) and flash 3.0 anyways. There'll be a new version of 3.0 out very soon.
I did do a wipe... I'll try 3.0 and see what happens. That's a project for the weekend. BTW, I cannot find the EE thread. Can someone post a link to that? Search is limited in this forum (and I'm new here so maybe it's right in front of me). Thanks for the advice!
It's in the front now, I had a few FC's at first when I flashed it, but after a couple of days it was smooth sailing.
EE Link is in my sig.

Me too, lolz...
Thanks kindly everyone! Apologies to Mods for the new thread.
Flashed 3.0 yesterday and issue has been resolved, as it mostl likely would had i gone back and instead flashed 2.0 THEN 2.0.1. Anyhoo, LOVE 3,0!!! I especially dig the subtle blue theme (blue battery display, icon backgrounds turn blue when touched, etc). SWEET. Soft key backlights work, runs super smooth. Very nice!
I'm running the rooted, official version of GB on my DX (no rom) and whenever I exit out of an app and back to my home screen it takes like 5-10 seconds for my Agenda Widget to render. Annoying to say the least.
Anyone else having this issue? Is there a solution?
Edit: The more I think about it, the more I'm thinking this may be an ADW issue, which worked great on FROYO.
May have to check it out with LauncherPro to compare.
i'm on a non-rooted DX with OTA Gingerbread downloaded and I'm having issues with LauncherPro being slow and often times force closing on me. Maybe MotoBlur isn't playing well with other Homescreen apps?

I had the same issue... I noticed a severe lag and then eventual Force Close - Blank Screen situation using LauncherPro on a rooted DX after the Gingerbread update.
Is anyone else having issues with LP and Gingerbread too?
i went on launcherpro forums on their site and few people are having issues with the force closing as well after GB update. glad to know i'm not the only one having this issue. i've sent out errror reports through my phone so hopefully there'll be a quick bug fix for this.

My girlfriend had this issue too. I didn't update, since I'm waiting for a rootable OTA(which judging by the OP, there is one now?), and for the first 5 minutes, her phone was locking up because of Launcher Pro. I couldn't do anything, because any touch on the screen would then cause Launcher Pro to stop responding. Force quitting just gave her a blank screen. Luckily, after 2 battery pulls, it stopped force closing and seems to be working just fine now.
OP, can you point me in the direction for the root hack for the recent OTA?
I updated to GB via OTA and haven't had a single issue with my launcher or any of my apps freezing.
The stock motorblur launcher in GB occupies much more memory than it did in Froyo.
Could this be causing a contention for resources if you have multiple launchers installed?
Sent from my unrooted DroidX using XDA App
I had issues with Launcher myself, but if you go in and tweak settings about how Launcher handles screens such as transition speeds and extra visual effects, you can speed it up quite a bit and I haven't had anymore force close issues (knock on wood)
Now to figure out the Gallery's issues. "sigh"
Just kept rebooting...
I just rebooted a few times (like 5 i think) anyway, that seemed to work fine as I have had no issues after that.. Def much 'smoother' with official GB... now i need gingerbr*** v1.30!!!! (to work with 2.3.3)
I notice when switching screens the brightness will tick up a bit after the animation. It's as if the animation stutters a bit. Turning it off makes the transistion instant, but the brightness still ticks up a bit when going backward on the menus or screens.
my Iconia (always more often) flashes in the launcher, flickers and most of the times everything disappear apart the wallpaper...
i have used apex, nova, trebuchet, holo... all (before or later) start flickering and then die... only way out is to kill the launcher or start another one somehow.
my rom is reflexxx stryker rev 4.2 (but i also used cm9 and had some problem)
i have ics bootloader, but i can't say what version, sorry
i have seen some posts about this problem,
most common idea is that the problem is in the ics bootloader.
the only idea of a solution was to go back to honeycomb BL
but those posts i saw where almost 2 months old... so i wanted to ask:
are there any new solution about this? any new hints? any new ideas?
it is also difficult to search about this on the forum.. since i don't know exactly what to search
thanks anyone for any hint.

As far as I know there is no fix. I've tried many different roms and bootloaders as well as MANY launchers. The only way that I have been able to tone it down is to not use Google widgets. But even then when I play something that uses 3d graphics it may still trigger. I've taken logcats and it says something about some sort of video error, researched it a little and found nothing. I hope that someone has a solution.

i tried to use less widgets... but doesn't really change much...
it is very random, but in my experience it appears more often when battery is low
do you feel the same?
i hope it can be fixed, i'm seriously thinking to sell it because of that (but who will buy it..?)

Don't sell it, just flash stock. I tried them all and had problems. Stock for me run's with no problems and the fastest just give it a try and you won't look back.

I went stock for a while and it was noticeably less often, I still had the issue. Especially when playing Great Little War Game. So I just went back to an overclocked rom. I enjoy the performance more than I regret the flashing screen...
as i wrote to JdgM3NT4L in a pm:
my "solution" is to put a home switcher app shortcut in the lockscreen.
so that when it happens i can kill apex or switch to nova
i mirrored my settings in apex and nova (nova can import all apex settings automatically)
that's the way i survive this boring bug
if someone like the "solution" can try it
and maybe hit thanks button

Did you go full stock no unlocked bootloader..? Not just run a stock rom.

I actually did the rollback to 3.1, updated officially over the air all the way up. Complete stock. It was better, but the issue persisted.
Loth, I have not noticed if the charge had much effect, But one thing that I think that seems to trigger it is when there is a game/app going that is using 3d graphics, and then any sort of notification pops up as an overlay. There is one rom that I could get it to do this almost on command. I could have a game going and the check the notifications. 80% of the time that was enough to get the flashing started.
So perhaps what you've noticed could be triggered by the low battery popup?
I can say that the latest Flexreaper ShellSHOCK does this very rarely. Maybe three times in the last few weeks, and I play with the tablet a lot.

i installed latest shellshock, let's see
It happens to me all the time with all the launchers I 've tried. I am in unlocked ics bootloader and stock rom. The same happened with the locked bootloader. I tried the CM10 Rom same results. I removed all widgets from the homescreen with no luck.
If it's in the ICS Bootloader then all must have the same problem or not?
Any solution except going back to 3.2?
To fix it I had to go full stock to Honey Comb then reinstall CWM then install Thor cm v15 and no problems since. I think the problem is the ICS bootloader
After some good times with few troubles, now it is again a huge problem: i almost can't use the tablet it happens every day and more than once.
I think I'll go back to stock honeycomb

been putting this off but the install update popup is killing me. i like my 7 as is, its rooted, not romed, i have the stock browser from my nexus phone working well, much better than firefox does with flash. over all, i just wanna make the update pop up go away. i don't see any roms i want to try, and all the so called stock update roms, seem to have issue 16 pages into the thread.
from what i can tell, the stock browser from the nexus phones will not work after the update, so i'm stuck with firefox crash fest to use flash. and to get it to update, i will have to flash back to stock, update, re root and then reset everything up. this sounds like a total pain at this point, to have it do nothing but get rid of the update popup.
someone set me straight, have i missed an easy update way, a stock updated rom that isn't crap and a verison of the stock browser that works on it, oh and anyone know if the news widget works after the update? i really like having that from the phones too. or just a way to hide the update pop up?
i've run so many different roms on my old d1 and like sourcery on my nexus. but on my tab, i like it how it is, well with apex launcher. anyway i find to update it, seems like i'm giving something up.
any thoughts?
You could try this.

ended up going the long way around... miss the browser thou. even more now that chrome updated and seems to be for the worse lag wise.
I used to do a lot with my Droid Bionic (dual boot, Linux, everything...) but I got busy and kind of lost interest when I got my Note 3 (9005) a couple of years ago. Anyhow, the Galaxy is slowing to a crawl and eating the battery like candy, so it's time to wipe it and start fresh. I like KitKat (and never upgraded) because I use the long-press "recent app" feature about 100 times a day. I don't want to loose that, so I was thinking of going with CM11, but all of the links I can find are dead.
Does anyone have a good link? Does that feature still exist with some other rom? Does someone have a better idea?
Thanks

As far as I know, any Android version has "recent apps" integrated so you can't go wrong with newer ROMs if that's what you're worried about. I think you won't find any working Kit Kat ROMs, you're better off going Lollipop and beyond.
You can remap buttons fonctions the way you want on any android version.
If you still want kitkat (a good custom one), look for Jackyaway rom.
I'll look for jackyaway. Is it a CM rom?
Remapping buttons is fine, but I thought they did away with the "recent apps" functionality after KitKat because they didn't want people killing apps and messing up the memory manager?

I don't think they would ever remove the recent apps function (see attached screenshot)
And even so, I really doubt you would have any problems with this phone's memory. It might be a 4 year old phone but it's still got great specs.
The wife let her phone update. I didn't (never do). I couldn't find the "recent apps" functionality and, when I googled it, posts said it was gone. Now it just looks like it moved? I guess it's accessed from the "menu" soft button on the home screen? Can you still access it from any app like on KitKat?

That is correct, it can be accessed from any app with no problems
Try going for Slimkat. Works fine for me.
