I recently wanted to start using XDAndroid again, but i am still having a problem that kept me from using it months ago. There was a time when i could use it fine and randomly it stopped working. I didnt bother with it because i couldnt fix it right away bu months pass and now i really would like a fix. The problem is this:
Haret shows me the loading screen, clones my top winmo taskbar and puts it at the bottom, and freezes. I have to force reboot my device to get it going again.
I followed these two threads and they did not fix the problem either:

Did you update both the RIL and the correct/corresponding rootfs? You need the 'RIL2' in post 6 of hyc's thread.

Are you sure, your not overclocking in winmo? If yes, try turning it off and try to run haret again.
One thing to keep in mind is that you have to have the standard speed from booting it up, so you cant have it overclock at boot and then set it standard and then run haret, make sure your speed is 528mhz when you run haret
Wow. I cant believe i never thought of that. Yes, i overclock with WinMo and that is probably the problem! I havent got a chance to test it yet, but i am sure it is. Thanks!

Hello everyone, how are you?
I'm new to this Board and pretty much new to Android too. I got myself a shiny new HTC Hero about 1 Month ago and this Phone is perfectly what i'm looking for. I love it to the Bits, but have one huge Problem, which i wasn't able to solve yet:
My Phone, even now after the Update is extremely lagging and behaving weird. First i noticed after some Time using it, that my Hero started to change Screens from itself, always running to the Screen on the far right Side. Now it becomes worse every day. Its most notable when i'm going out of the Standby Mode. It takes about 5 Seconds until it reacts to any Inputs. It takes like another 5 Seconds until it works in kinda normal Speed. And since 2 Days or so, i constantly see the Error "TouchFLO" not reacting. Force it to close or wait.. This appears more constant everyday now and made the Hero really difficult to use.
I have been on Symbian a long long Time and i'm very satisfied that i finally took the Jump to Android, but this annoys the Hell out of me.
So if anyone has a Hint on how to solve this Problem, i would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks

I had this problem and found it was something like dust stuck under the trackball making it move. I pushed and spun the trackball a few times and that seemed to solve it for me.
i dont think the Trackball is the Problem. It seems more like a software issue, as those TouchFLO Software Issues keep appearing and appearing and make the Phone more and more not usable

MichelSF, I too faced the same problem from time to time. I am not sure of what you mean when you say that the TouchFLO software keeps on appearing from time to time. In my case the screens would move over to the right automagically and all I used to do was move the trackball a bit and it would stop. I can still see that occasionally but it is fixed when i move the trackball. I would therefore concur with nicelad_uk that the trackball gets stuck and that causes this behaviour.
BTW, you said something about the update, what did you update it to? I updated mine to the modaco 2.2 rom and its been all fine ever since. I do occasionally see a stutter on certain menus but am happy with it. If it helps you any bit, you could install the android sdk and use the 'adb logcat -v time' command to view the debug messages that the phone churns out. You would also need to install htcsync and so on and that would indicate what the phone's doing while being unresponsive.
HTH.

i get an error pop-up that TouchFLO is not reacting.I can then either wait or force it to close. If i force it to close, the whole Start Screen is rebooting, but not the Phone. So i can access the Menu and Notification Bar, but it takes a bit until the Start Screen appears again - i hope you Guys get what i mean by that! A good Friend said this could be a Memory Leak, or being caused by Widgets that doesnt work well. I have now disabled most of the Widgets i have (Music Player, Mails, Messages, Weather), now just using the Clock and a Contact Bar. Strangely, the Phone works really well now again ..
...Man, this is confusing and annoying!

thanks a lot for the suggestions so far.. still have all the widgets gone from the home screens, still all good.. strange
I recently went ahead and unrooted my eris so I could call and get a new one sent to me since I'm still under warrantee, and on the other phone I never seemed to have a problem with rooting it and installing the roms. But now for some infuriating reason, every rom I've tried has given me issues within the starting point of loading them. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=677097 <- That one loaded perfectly fine, but then my internet would just refuse to work.
I also tried one called Pure Eris I think it was called, but that one would just stay stuck on the loading screen, go black, then go back to the loading screen, not sure how I had the patience to sit through that for an hour assuming it was perhaps just going to take a while. I used this thread as a help to see if I was perhaps doing something wrong http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835758 I did everything it said to do, and then went ahead and found another rom I thought I'd enjoy, but then all of a sudden I'm required to re-activate my phone. When I call to activate, the keypad refuses to show, and I need to press 1 to activate. Hah. It's just been a hair-ripping experience today.
Now I'm attempting to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769624 and HOPING I won't have yet again anymore issues.
Anyone have an idea of what I may be doing wrong even after following those instructions? I'm still new to this so to say, since I've only rooted the eris once before this, and I didn't have a problem until now. Rooted it just the same, and each theme seems to make a new problem arise. Haaaaaalp?

The last link you put up is a theme, not a Rom. Which ROM are you currently using?
Be sure when changing roms to wipe data and cache. Not doing so will cause a boot loop, which you described above. Also, if you have to reactivate your phone and can't get a dial pad, long press the menu button to bring up the keyboard and use the keyboard numbers.

I don't know what all roms you have tried that won't boot but there was one person who's phones could not boot my cfsv6 through cfsv8 kernels. I fixed the issue in cfsv9 kernel so check to see if the roms you have tried are using those kernels. I know the one you said booted was an older rom and was not using my kernel. CELBFroyo is using the v9 kernel if you want to test that. If that is your issue you can just download the cfsv9 kernel and flash it after flashing the rom of your choice. It was something to do with the hardware in a small percentage of eris's that the kernel would not work with. Maybe you have the same hardware as that case...
I have searched and searched, but can not find what seems to be an applicable fix, so here goes.
Ok here is my best description. Equipment: Rooted vibrant. The plot: Rooted. Ran fine for months. Yesterday purchased Rom Manager premium. Installed one of the premium roms. Can't remember the name of the rom. After install everything worked fine except I kept getting the error, "com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly" so I tried everything I could find related to that problem to fix it, but nothing worked. As a symptom the market, gmail, etc wouldn't work. Anyway I figured I'd just recover the last rom that I backed up and start over. So I did, but now the phone boots, goes to the "draw pattern to unlock screen" and won't recognize the fact that I'm actually drawing the pattern to unlock the screen. The "buttons" on the bottom of the screen recognize my touch (menu, home, search, back) as they darken when touching them.
So there the phone sits on the unlock screen. After a minute or two the screen goes blank, the phone vibrates once, and the unlock screen comes back and won't accept any input.
Is this fix applicable, or would it work in bringing my phone back to me?

I want to make sure as I don't want to further exacerbate the uselessness of my phone. I feel like I've lost a limb with it gone.
Thanks for any help.
Sorry to hear you found the worst gremlin of all. I'll get that from time to time when my phone feels like being stupid. Lucky for me, I can just reboot the phone, and she's back to normal.
As far your situation is concerned, I would probably try to use Odin and flash your phone back to stock so you can build it back up to whatever ROM you're on. This usually happens when you bounce back and forth between a froyo and GB ROM; or a ROM from a different dev that's used a different framework to make all his stuff work.
Jump into the link in my sig, and see if you can find the files you need. Otherwise, shoot me a message so I can link you to the files I use to go back to stock pre-rooted.
Lol, did you try this?

OK. The sticky worked. I admit I panicked, but IT WORKS NOW!! I'm just ecstatic! You guys rule.
I guess I was just gun shy. I bricked the snot out of my my-touch a year ago (still doesn't work).
Anyway, on to hacking.
Thanks again!
Awesome! Glad you got it werkin
Next time just try a simple Google search of the error itself.
*EDIT*
If you still have the mytouch I'd be interested in it. PM me if so
Yeah I tried to google the problem, but I was still stuck. None of the fixes seemed to work. Until google led me here.
I do still have the my touch. Mint condition, minus the fact it doesn't work! I'd like to get it working again if possible. Is there a way to odin the my touch? I tried and tried last year when I bricked it, but I never got it to work again. Is there a my touch forum here somewhere named something other than "my touch"?

Hello everyone,
To be honest, it's been some time since I've been here, back when I knew how everything on this forum worked...
I kinda forgot, so I'm just posting this HELPME!? thread
This is my problem:
About 1.5 years ago I downloaded a ROM, and put it on my phone, and it was working just fine. However, 3 weeks ago it became really annoying, i'll explain what my problem was:
My phone would randomly freeze when i was doing things, these things could vary from "sending a text message" to "opening my 4th opera tab".
After that it wouldn't respond unless I reset it. However, when starting up again after resetting it would do a few possible things.
1. It's freeze at the first startup screen.
2. It's keep switching between unlock and "pin-screen", and when it was working again, it'd freeze.
3. It'd start up, and after about 5 seconds buzz like 5 times, then freeze.
When i left it on frozen the battery and phone would turn very hot as well =(
So, I tried a hard reset, but that didn't work.
After that i went to the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784
I followed the instructions, installed the right Radio (2.12.50), and installed the ROM ( Energy.Leo.21916.Sense2.5.NLD.Cookie.2.0.Jul.07.7z ).
I remembered how to intall these things, so I think i've done that right.
So, after that it seemed to be working fine, and I was really proud and happy.
Now my phone has frozen again, and starting up was an issue again...
Does anyone know what my problem is? And what would be even better, what i can do to solve it?
Please let me know <3
Adios <3
Little Update:
So, I've been carrying my HTC HD2 around with me again, and then it started again...
It froze when I tried to send a text, and after that would freeze or vibrate (a few times) during the start-up...
It's really anoying =( If I'd have to estimate my phone's uptime a day...
It used to be 24h a day, now it's more like... 4 hours a day, with 2/3 hours of trying to get it working :Z
That could be hardware related. Possibly processor overheating. I would download the latest stock rom and fash it to see if it sorts the problem. If not it will need to be sent of to HTC to be replaced.

Take it back to stock rooted and see if you still have errors. If your saying your having this problem on every ROM then it could just be your phone. I've never had a problem and I flash all kinds of ROMs.

setcpu cause freeze issue in somecases and also swiftkey may give you troubles that I saw from other posts. If your phone is a gsm, returning to stock maybe your best option at the moment anyway.
my phone is cdma sprint service
Mine is stock everything, and I get this freezing issue once in awhile. But its like only the screen responses freeze. Meaning if I try to scroll down on a web page, or sideways on the main screen...it won't do anything. But if i press the apps button, or other "buttons" on the screen... it senses it.
Well I took off setcpu and its been working fine so far going to give it a few hours and see what happens it just sucks I paid for setcpu

I am having this same issue. I have tried several different ROMs and kernels with the same result of the screen doing its own thing and the buttons becoming unresponsive at the bottom until I turn off the screen with the bottom on the top of the phone, which then allows the buttons at the bottom to be responsive again until the problem starts again.
I have also updated my firmware minus HBoot (2.08.651.2 Firmware Minus hBoot.zip) with the same results.
Any suggestions?
I too am having major problems. at first i thought it was just MIUI but no matter what rom i flash my buttons are unresponsive its hard to even unlock my phone like it just doesnt register that im touching it. Ive never had any problems like this it started yesterday while picking a song from a playlist. i would give more detailed information but i cannot get to my settings.
I'm having this issue. Random freezing. I have to pull the battery to reset. Very annoying. This is my third replacement for asurion (after I cracked my screen). I hate this.
I Was having Freeze Problems but Not Lately... If you try the AndroTECH Rom you Might have a little Better Luck...
