Hey - I recently downloaded Das BAMF 3.0 RC3 with Imo's leanKernel on Extreme, and everything seemed to be running smoothly (at one point my touch screen did not respond, but a battery pull fixed that, ha). Just recently my app animations (for example, when I go to the app drawer, the apps 'fly' in and then 'fly' away when I close them) is VERY laggy, and they were not before. I did not update or change anything... I am using LauncherPro and WidgetLocker, but always have been. I have been trying to change settings around but no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions or know how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
EDIT: And scrolling them the apps is very fast - it is just them flying in and out. Very strange...
EDIT 2: A completely other problem I am having - when I try to reboot, it doesn't reboot, it just shuts off. Is this a serious problem or something small that can fix it, or is this a known issue with the ROM that I will have to deal with until they fix?

I'm not really using any huge widgets or a ton of home screens, but lately the system has been killing it. I have it set to be persistent in the app settings and in CM settings. Is there any way to monitor its memory use?

Got it not to o long ago and having same prob, just thot it was unstable
It needs a lot of work. Although I've finally got things set up in such a way that ADW EX plays nicely with everything else, runs very fast, and never crashes on me. The only remaining problem is that it occassionally gets dumped from memory, even though I've got it set up to "Keep home in memory." So I have to watch it reload when returning to the home screen one out of every ten times. Other than that, it's beast.
Ive been using it for a couple months thru most of the nightlies upto rc2 and for me I was always able to fix every problem by switching to ADW stock and just giving up on the EX I't contantly froze up after more than 20 or so minutes in lock, no matter how long I gave it to setup after coming off lockscreen it would often still Fc or just freeze, there has seemed to be a lil less problems with rc2 though, most of the FCs I was getn could be avoided by not having any screen transition fx other than the stock scroll, this was killing me constantly, when I disabled it it almost ran smooth, almost! With the theme chooser now im so tempted to just toss it.
I think I found out what may have been causing it. I was also using Multitasking Pro, and I had it mapped to a double-click of the home button so the system thought it was my home app and kept it alive instad of ADW. Re-mapping MTP to the genius button and having ADW as my home key app fixed it. No crashes thus far.
Mine just recently started doing this and it was after i flashed RC2. I remembered this thread so I came over. It force closes constantly on a reboot until it seems to settle itself but I also get a force close on every phone call which blocks the caller id until i force close it. It's getting annoying but I love the design of my homescreen so i'm kind of torn. A fix permissions did nothing to rectify it. I guess i'll try to reinstall it and see what happens. Maybe Titanium Backup messed with it, I don't know.
Ever since I updated to BAMF 2.0 Beta 6 from Froyo (did a full wipe), I've been unable to answer calls when my phone is on standby. When somebody calls me, the only option at the bottom is to "End Call," as if I'm already in the call with them. If I'm using my phone when they call, however, both buttons appear as expected. Has anyone else experienced this?
It was happening to me after I disabled the Sense lockscreen. I went in to the Bamf Toolkit/system settings and checked Sense locksreen. It will automatically restart after you change the options. If its on toggle it off, let it reboot and then toggle it back on. It worked for me. Hope this helps!

Unfortunately, that didn't work for me. I also tried wiping the cache and Dalvik cache. Do you know if you may have changed any other settings as well?
Also, I use Launcher Pro instead of the Sense UI. Could that have anything to do with it?
It turns out that the problem was caused by the Mr. Number app.
Still can't answer calls!
I've read through everything I can find in here and the only solution I've found was to disable Mr Number call blocker, which I do not have. It ONLY does this when I have the sense lock screen disabled (because it's laggy and I prefer the classic slider). I can live with it, but they wouldn't have added the option to disable it if you they knew it would remove the "answer" button. Even a fresh install with no apps does this. I've cleared dalvik and regular cash 2 more times, did another factory reset, and no fix. Anyone ever figure this one out? BTW this is the newest das bamf sense 3.0, but it also happened with 2.0 beta6.
i too am facing this on das bamf 2.1 with sense lockscreen disabled, need a fix! I really do not like the sense 3.0 lock screen
This needs to get put in a sticky or something...
The fix is to use 'WidgetLocker' $1.99 off the market. This has fixed this identical issues on at least 3 different roms that I know of. When you disable the sense lockscreen, you can't answer calls normally unless you use WidgetLocker.
I have been flashing rom after rom in an attempt to find one that runs quickly, and doesn't have some major issue that causes me to re-flash. In this case I was quite satisfied with liquid gingersense 1.2 until I installed the sense 2.1 lockscreen, and then enabled stock android lockscreen under settings. Now, no matter what I switch around I cannot answer calls. This is not including widgetlocker.. I have not bought it yet. I was hoping to find a way around adding an app to fix something that shouldn't be broken. I thought I was set at first because I switched to sense 2.1 lockscreen and tested it with success. Then I switched to stock android lockscreen. Both unlocked the phone when recieving a call and had an answer button.. I went to bed, and then this morning it went back to the same old routine. Very strange. Why would it work, and then cease to work without any additional changes made?
I second the Mr Number suggestion
removed Mr Number and so far so good
My Thunderbolt is rooted, and I have tried several different ROMs (some AOSP even) and different kernels, and still I get this strange problem... I use WidgetLocker and fairly often when I go to unlock my phone, the touch screen doesn't work. I have to turn the screen on and off several times and sometimes that works, but it may take up to several minutes for it to finally register my touch. I even sometimes have to pull the battery because after ten minutes, nothing is responding. At first, I thought it the ROM/kernel - I used BAMF in the beginning and that is when I noticed it. Then I switched to ShiftSense, and I barely noticed the touch screen ever failing on me, but the lack of GPS locking and accuracy made me switch to NonSense, which I enjoy but again the touch screen not working at the WidgetLocker lock screen comes up again. My other theory was maybe the HTC Ring Lock Screen gets in the way, so I downloaded NoLock and disabled it, but that didn't work. Then I tried use the WL HomeHelper, but that didn't work... I tried different settings, but no avail. I really enjoy WidgetLocker and I want to try to keep it, but I am not sure what other things I should try to fix this problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!
widget locker did that to me several times so I gave up on it. Its definitely a problem with widget locker and not your phone or ROM. It freezes. I even set it to unlock with long press of back button and that would freeze as well.
my phone does the same thing, i think its a problem with our phone and gingerbread. it happens less with froyo. I believe its a radio issue.

I have used widget locker on over 10 different android devices I've own. I've never had a freeze issue with it. Reason I've had freeze issue starting with low RAM device. Then voltage to low or cpu frequency to low.
Is there a good alternative with Widget Locker? I just love the use of my own custom slider/widgets/custom background... Does any other app do that? I sort of want to try another app and test to see if it is in fact my phone/RAM/ROM/whatever or Widget Locker.

take off or freeze widget locker for a few days and see how your phone does. If it doesn't freeze, then you know its the app.
As for the guy that has used widget locker on 10 devices without problems, I call BS, I tried it on stock, and several customs and always had problems.
I sort of like the features of WidgetLocker than my default lock screen doesn't have and the look of it, so if I turn it off, I sort of want to try to find a replacement app in the meantime.
I just wanted to chime in and say I have this issue with my Thunderbolt and Widgetlocker as well. I've found that it usually freezes if I let my screen turn off by timing out. I'll turn it back on and the screen doesn't respond at all. I've found that if I let my screen timeout again while on the Widgetlocker screen, my touch screen will be responsive the next time I turn it on again.

Same problem here, I stopped using widget locker and just use the sense 3 lockscreen now.
I just wanted to put in my two cents - I was have the same problems with WidgetLocker on BAMF Forever (1.0.7 & 1.0.9). I found another thread on here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151269) that someone with a BAMF Sense 3 ROM and a custom kernel was having the same issue. Someone else suggested upping the voltage on the kernel to 368 or changing the kernel. It didn't work for him, but it did for me. I'm not using a custom kernel, but there is an option to change that in BAMF Settings. I've been running it at 368 for several days now and I only had one lockup (but that was shortly after bootup and the phone was probably busy doing other things in the background). HTH
For the past week or so my phone has had flickering multicolored lines flash across the homescreen(s)/lockscreen when I turn the display back on. Sometimes it will also happen if I'm sitting on the homescreen with the display already on.
Here is my Rom history as the problem began:
Was on supernexus (Android 4.2.2 I believe) - issue was not present
Flashed Unofficial Slim build 6 (wiped cache/dalvik/factory reset before install)- started having the issue
Flashed Unofficial Slim build 6.2 (wiped cache/dalvik)- issue still present
Flashed AOCP 5.7 yesterday (wiped cache/dalvik/factory reset and formatted internal SD)- thought issue was gone, but it started happening again today.
I tried taking screenshots but the issue disappears as soon as I press the volume+power button to take the screenshot. This only seems to happen when I'm on the homescreen/lockscreen, I dont think it has happened while in any other apps.
I'm wondering if this might be an issue with the specific version of the Nova launcher, as I believe that is the common denominator between these Roms (isn't AOCPs launcher based on CM's nova?). I just installed go launcher and the problem seems to be gone (for now).
Has anyone else seen something like this? I apologize if this has been discussed somewhere, I spent several hours searching Google and XDA before posting. I can post a picture later when I have access to another camera phone.
Same issue here
I have the same issue at the lock screen. Prevalent on all JB roms I have tried, carbon, revolt & slim bean.
I'm currently using Carbon nightly. I have not seen a fix for this yet. I have heard it might be an issue with the processor waking up from sleep.
After installing Go Launcher Ex opening it a couple times and then going back to using the Aspire launcher that came with AOCP, I haven't had this issue again all afternoon. Didn't have it at all yesterday though, so it might come back.
I played around with all the brightness settings but it didn't seem to do anything. Do you happen to have any pictures of the effect you are getting? I'll try and post a picture of mine tonight if it happens again. Thanks!
About 3 hours ago, I changed some GPU & lock screen settings and the issue has not reappeared.
I will post back either later tonight or tomorrow morning with some info.
I haven't taken any photos of the problem yet. By the way, do you usually experience the issue on lock screen coming from a screen off state?
ditto on this. I have Cyanogenmod 10.1 installed and I get these lines intermittently.
Try turning off CRT animations and disable hw overlays.

Go to settings, developer options scroll half way down and you will find it. You will have to disable it every time you reboot or you can use two paid apps from the market. These apps are tasker and secure setting they are both worth every cent.

Do you have any backlight handling apps? I used lux all the time and it stopped after I disabled it.

Just enabled "Disabled HW overlay" and "Force GPU rendering". Like some of the users suggested, I found about the possible solution from this video:

(go to 1:40)
I usually get the flickering with the lock screen (I use WidgetLocker Lockscreen). I was having some flickering this morning and checking both of those options seemed to immediately cut out the flickering.
I ran across it(the flickering lines) on one of the 4.2.2 roms, can't remember exactly which one but what I ended up having to do was disable one of the tweak apps it came with and install Trickster Mod only. Worked for me, no more flickering or rebooting, not sure what the cause may have been but have had no other issues after that for I believe it was 2 weeks
Please elaborate

By chance can you give some more details about this Trickster Mod like where to find it and what it is supposed to do?
A link to a thread would be great

Scroll down to my post there. If you still need help, just let me know.
Trickster mod I believe is mainly for Rom's that have Kernels that can be OC'd or Under Clocked. Kind of the same as Android Tweaker or SetCPU but is a little smoother for me IMO.
So today I found out that my phone isn't running well.
I'm not expecting the Sony UI to be perfect, lag-proof and anything, but I think the problem hasn't gone out and there's something wrong.
My phone constantly stutters and you get a bit of lag whenever I swipe from left to right, in the app drawer, the notification menu and when I'm opening apps. I've set the animation speed to 0.5x and it still stutters, paired with bits of lag. I'm looking for the smooth and fluidic transitions and animations but I'm just not getting it.
This happens each time I put my phone to sleep and wake it up after. It isn't the screen wake up lagging, but the UI itself. The animations start to stutter and lag then.
The solutions I have made are; restarting the device, which can get annoying every now and then; and freeing up space, which worked once and the problem went back again.

Is there a solution to this? I have installed more than 80 apps and I think it's one of the contributions to the problem.
And to be honest I have some OCD and it quite annoys me.

Do a clean flash via Flashtool (wipe everything), try with latest Lollipop update. After that install your apps one by one and try to figure it out which one is cause of your problems. :good:
