Hei guys, I'm new to this, barely managed to get adb working for the 1st time.
I kinda have 2 or 3 questions that I couldn't figure out entirely by my own.
1st - What's dalvik-cahce ? what does it do? what gets erased if I wipe it and what do I have to gain if I move it to the sd card?
2nd - How exactly does A2SD work? I'm currently using Link2SD and I don't know how it works and what exactly does that "linked" mean.... Or why should I use A2SD in the first place and not just use App2SD (which actually moves everything it's able to) from the market.
3rd Why does my phone crash? I tried noejins, mik's and andy's roms and they all crashed sooner or later, I got this black screen of death with some white writing on it for 1 second and the phone turned off. Is it because I'm overclocking to 122/787? That's the only common thing I could find - and - it didn't crash before I started overclocking. I think they call it "kernel panic" or something like that.
Thanks in advance.
1. Java bytecode compiler cache
2. No data lost, it is just cache. Will get recreated as needed or on reboot.
3. Link is a symbolic link pointing to another location. Google it.

some of the phones(lg-p500) cant be overclocked above 768 OC'ed >768 = Kernel Panic and uneven shutdowns like i face after overclocking above 768.
a2sd is different from app2sd....we cannot move dalvik cache and widgets to memory card using app2sd...using a2sd you can create a partition of the memory card where these things can be stored as if it is being stored in the phone memory....it saves you some space in the phone memory....
Kernel Panic is the UNIX equivalent of what you've been seeing all your life as a Windows user, the Blue Screen of Death.
When your operating system encounters an error it cannot recover from, it dumps all the information about it in a log file and reboots. The error is usually called 'fatal'.
See it this way, it's the computer version of jumping off a cliff, realizing that you're going to die and then having your sweetest memories flash in front of your eyes Only in this case the OS comes back to life.
Morning guys - i'm a sort of noob (go easy.!) that needs help with my HTC desire. I took plunge and decided to try rooting & applying custom ROM, but now have problems with the screen freezing completely at any point, then on restart the phone boots into the home launcher but screen does not respond or will not wake.
So far:
Rooted with unrevoked
HBOOT flashed to Cm7r2
Latest version of clockworkmod recovery via app
Aurora 4.1 (all dalvik caches wiped at correct points).
V6 supercharger applied on setting 5 (balanced).
Tried with kernel built in ROM (0.7) & gingercakes 0.9cfs no2way havs.
SD card partitioned with GParted (fat32 primary, 2gb primary ext4).
I've had the ROM working fine, the only other thing i can place it to is swapping the SD card, which i've changed from 4gb class to, to a samsung 16gb class 6. Does anyone think that this error could be anyway caused by the fact the card readers i've used (tried 2 different readers) both have had trouble recognising the 16gb card?? (Gparted still recognised it however)
Is it possible to be a hardware issue? Please note recovery works perfectly - wiping caches, reinstalling zip files, backups etc.....only problem is now this freezing of home launcher and no response.
Any help be greatly appreciated, give me a nudge if i haven't given enough detail.
Regards, Nick.!
Additional:- Tried unsupercharging & rebooting - no difference.
Only other thing i can think that i've done prior to the fault is attempting to install busybox for V6 supercharger - which failed every time and affected my root access on the phone. I've found that the Aurora ROM has busybox installed already. However, is it possible me trying that install has somehow affected the rooting of the phone?
So many questions, sorry guys!
Bump.....would ADAO file manager (which isn't on google market I notice) affect anything on ext4 perhaps? That was one app that i downloaded from net.
Have you tried reverting your busybox to the default version? Also, are you overclocking and or overclocking? Going to high or to low with CPU speed can cause problems like that. It has also been said that partitioning an SD card can damage them, which may be an issue you have now. You could try formatting the SD card to its default state and run like that for a while. I ran a 16gb SD card in a Droid Eris for months and it never caused a problem like that. Of course, I didn't have a partition set up on it.

I've literally left the settings for speed in daemon controller alone, although i'm still learning and not sure if they are default overclocked or not?
Possibility with the SD card, i'll give it a try for sure, that'd mean i'd have to revert to an alternate ROM would it, as Aurora specifies an ext4 partition?
Thanks again though, it's a start at least
Do you set profiles in SET CPU?

Excuse noobie brain here, where will i find those CPU settings?
If so, fully wipe and install again. And what rom are you using currently that causes freeze?

Aurora V4.1 ROM i'm using. Don't think it's the ROM itself as i have had it stable for week or so, before swapping SD card from 4gb to 16gb.
I'm thinking this may be the root cause as i've just tried a complete fresh partition with Gparted & fresh install of literally just the ROM itself and on first boot it froze again. Rebooted and now seems to be stable with nothing reloaded back on it but we'll wait and see. If it freezes again i'll try my 4gb card. Didn't want to revert back to that as its only class 2.
[Q] Noob help - Rooted desire keeps freezing.! Update...!
UPDATED - Still getting same problems - have now tried a different SD card & alternative ROM (Cool3d v5).
Is it possible it could be heat related fault? The more i use the phone the more readily it happens - from the occasional freeze (okay after reboot) to complete freeze and no response on every reboot.
Does the CPU therefore have a cut out or could be freezing based on the settings that are initially loaded through daemon controller? What are safe settings for the min/max values?
Only other thing i've noticed is once fault starts to occur - clearing dalvik cache in recovery is quite unresponsive - menu holds before allowing me to clear.
Got to get to the bottom of this - don't want to revert back to original, or throw my phone in the river!!
Save clock is 1ghz. No over clock is the safest.
Do your phone wear case? If yes, it may be the caused of heat.
I'm sure the rom caused you the freeze. You can try to change a more stabler rom, eg aosp

Bit more progress - as my phone literally would freeze on loading home launcher, i connected it to pc and mounted via recovery - and deleted everything i could see for V6 SUPERCHARGER - and hey presto, very slowly, but phone booted up and is now working again.
I see the devs of V6 say about removing hardtokill if any lags occur - i think it's this portion of the script affecting my bravo.
SO, i'm going to run it totally without V6, and may try to just run the memory portion, but the instructions to disable hardtokill are a little unclear to me, could you guys tell me in simple terms how to acheive??
Thanks again for all your responses, a great help
V6 now off and all fresh re-installed with cpu max turned down also, and set to ondemand gov, will see how we go
[Q] Noob help - Rooted desire keeps freezing.! PT3.!
Still no joy with this issue guys - pulling my hair out now - after a few hours use (usually overnight) phone just freezes, then freezes on reboot, before getting worse and now will not pass alpharev's boot screen.
Installing fresh gets me into home launcher, but becomes unresponsive and freezes again.
I've tried different ROM's, different SD's, basic clean install, all without any luck. I'm thinking now it is more a hardware issue with the phone?

Did you wipe data/cache partitions/dalvik cache before flashing the rom? Did you wipe dalvik cache and cache partitions after flashing the rom?
Yep all wiped before and after.

Have you tried flashing a new kernel?
Yep fault happens with any kernel I've tried (so far 0.9c no2way havs cfs, also 2way version, 0.8f cfs havs, 0.7c)

Has your device went through any physical damage (around the time the problem started)?
No physical damage apart from the battery cover being pulled off more than once(!) and a lot of obscenities being flung it's way, lol! But no, not dropped or damaged at all.
I've used the phone now all afternoon, longer than normally, with the same details on same hboot, but left some of the sense widgets off the home launcher, and it hasn't locked up once.
Hey guys!
I get this "insufficient memory" issue every time I try to install poweramp from play store and it's becoming really annoying. And regardless how many time I wipe cache or free up memory I still get this message. And what makes me more angry about this issue is the fact that I have 1.49 gb free phone memory, 3.24 gb free internal mem., and 2.96 free external mem.
Plz help....
I'm using ics paranoid android rom if this would help...

i am using paranoid also and i had this problem two days before , i think i changed my kernel with clean install , and the problem solved , try out the latest my fluxi kernel and latest paranoid 1.4 or 1.3 , i love 1.3 bec. of easy hyprid settings
"go into either the /system/app/ or /data/app/ directory and delete the odex file that has the same name as the poweramp.apk" if this helps say thanks to MyLifeRocks10 as he posted this first

I have had the same problem for weeks and tried all the suggestions I could find on the Internet, nothing worked. Then I found a posting explaining that a possibility would be to move the default installation location to the sdcard. So I used the terminal emulator (rooted phone), to check the current setting first. It was already redirected to external memory, so I tried to change it back to internal memory (Command: "pm set-install-location 1"), which solved the problem!!!! I now can install in internal memory, using link2sd I keep the internal usage to minimal, problems solved! :good:
Hope this helps,

Thanks friend. You are great. My problem is solved.
So right, StraightTalk Samsung Galaxy Proclaim, stock, rooted.
This phone comes with issues. I read a lot about a bug with apps on the external SD and infinite reboots, I don't have that issue.
Rooted using ShabbyPenguin method (Odin flash pre-rooted ROM, reflash stock). Applied SD card computer recognition (edit vold.fstab changing lun0 to lun1).
Installed Link2sd and BusyBox (Stericon?). This solves the reboot loop problem and gives back my internal storage.
Installed script manager and used V6SuperCharger.
Everything runs fine with a few minor exceptions. I have set SuperCharger to clear cache every hour and used the calculator for the oom settings and I have set currently to Die Hard launcher with Soft Rock panic settings.
The only issue I have is if I try to run Dolphin Browser or the stock browser or the Facebook app, my phone will freeze and I have to hold the power button until it resets.
How can I figure out what is causing this problem? I have tried having those apps linked and not linked (installed on internal storage). The problem still happens. I don't think the stock browser is that memory intenselive. I have a game on my phone, Major Mayhem, that I think is more memory intensive than that and it doesn't cause my phone to frewze.
Any ideas?

If it helps, the only logs generated when tthis happens are a "dumpstate_dpramfail.log" and "dumpstate_app_error.txt.gz.temp"

Hi giuys i'm new in xda...
I've installed ARHD rom into my htc one m7 with the newest twrp recovery and i'm having some problems...
Before installing arhd i tried viper one mod but i didn't like so i decided to change mod and before doing it a wiped all my data...
Now, using arhd 93 mod, some apps crashes very often (google play services for istance) but the real problem is that i can't download anythink because it says i don't have any sd memory and my internal memory is full... Ok i don't have any sd external memory but my internal memory has got 20gb of free space, so, why i can't download any photo or theme or apk?? I can only download app from the Google play when it doesn't crash... Can you help me with this??
I've unlocked my bootloader and rooted my htc, i can easly join into recovery mod, what shoud i try??
If nobody knows can you give me a stock rom with lollipop and sense 6.0 or a really STABLE mod with no problems and no crashing apps with lollipop?? Thank you
