I have been using cm7 for 3 months now. so, i guess the honeymoon period is over as all the faults which i have been living with are very irritating now..
1. If the sd card is inserted when switching on the phone, it reboots automatically 1-2 minutes after it is on.
2. ADW launcher force close *every* time the phone switches on. This is followed by a reboot or ( if i am lucky enough ) , normal functioning
3. Searching for networks doesnt work 90% of the time..
4. Sometimes in the middle of running an app or playing a game, the phone gets stuck and i have to remove the battery to reboot.
I dont know the reasons for any of this, please help!!

gingerbread 2.3.7

Thanks in advance..
what releaseare you running? latest is v2.3. Try doing a complete wipe (data/cache/dalvik/battery), make a backup first.
can you please tell me where to check for the release and where v2.3 is? and will i lose my apps when updating?
you could check on madteam forum, and download latest release 2.3
Try it without wiping your data, only /cache and dalvik cache. If there are some bugs, backup your apps (i.e. using titanium backup), and do a complete wipe.
All infos on download and install are on that topic..
is it working without any problems for you?
Yeah, it works like a charm
thanks a lot for your help.. one last question, i cant access wi-fi from my phone..so can you please tell the where the download link is? and the process for updating..?
You should download from your PC the zip file. You could find it on gooinsideme.com, browser to psyke folder and search for the last release. Then follow the instructions on that post.

Your problem should be solved by now, but just so you know, 768MHz is officially unstable.
I use 729MHz and its FAST without reboot/force close problems. This will most probably solve your reboot issue (I know this because it happened with me) .
oh, and this is the link you will be needing for your current/future downloads - http://goo.im/devs/psyke83/roms/galaxy5 - bookmark it.

Been using vegan 5.1 for a month now and its been great. Now the browser and market just closes at random. Not FC but just closes. Reboot doesn't help but turn of then wait a min then on does. I reinstalled and with supplement and without several times. Same thing.
sometimes it can go hours and sometimes its min when it starts.
Please help me or I wont have much hair left!

Dalvik cache? If so I just did and I will report back
Did it start happening after the supplement 5.1.1? A few users rebooted reboot issues especially after using Flash in the browser. I haven't been able to replicate it, but I also wipe user data as a rule between mods and updates.

before I tried the supplement. I have min stuff on the tab and use it for web browsing. but I did install a few apps that I could share folders off my pc.
it seems to be doing it after I use market at some point. i done the cache clear as above and it worked fine for 2 hours, then I opened up market and looked around. with in 2 min the screen went blank and i was to the lock screen. other times it goes to the home screen.
I done a shut down, restart and havent been on market and its been up for a hour.
I'm running the supplement at this time. only thing downloaded was quadrant and kindle.
first time I done the quadrant test also, it was 2152 or close. not sure what it should be if that matters.
thanks for your help.

Doesn't make sense it would only happen with the same 2 apps & on different roms.
Have you tried browsers other than the stock browser & does it happen with those? What version of Market is currently installed, an older version or the nesest (3.0.27)?

Are you talking in CWM, Mounts & Storage?
Shouldn't have to do anything there. All that should be automatically mounted. you wiud know if one of those wasn't. ..system would come up.../data is where installed apps are, /sdcard is where you store stuff, /system is where your rom is, /cache is by the system
If you use cpumaster,setcpu or similar, try removing.I found setcpu to be responsible for crashing some apps and sleep of death on my tab and was only overclocked to 1.2Ghz.I now overclock by editing script included in rom and no more problems.

ROM: Cyanogen Froyo CM6-Latest (based on MiniCM/CM6v2) - All working! + Hotfix v1.1
Question: Do i need second partition in SD card to install this? Or i can have only one partition and also will be able to move apps to sd card.
Thank you.
Solution to Post 2:
You won't need any second partition to move apps, I even recommend not using any other partition cause froyo does a good job with this!
ROM: MiniCM v1.1
ROM: MiniCM v1.1
Question: Is this ROM undervolted (battery life is most important for me) if not, is it possible to undervolt it easy way (through xrec for example)
Question2: does your hotfixes install through xrec?
Question3: Can we expect a full build with all hotfixes + ldpi fix included soon?
Solution to Post 4:
Q1: The overclocked version is also undervolted if you want stock and undervolted set it to 600 MHz with setcpu (on boot). The not OCed version is not undervolted but i'll add this maybe later
Q2: Yes all hotfixes on first post will always be xrec flashable only thing is to keep the order while flashing so hotfix1 first and then flash hotfix2 and so on.
Q3: Yes but for now the changes have been to small for me to upload another full release
ROM: MiniCMv1.2
ROM: MiniCMv1.2
Question: What's the best and fastest way to backup your contacts, cause it's the only thing i want to transfer to this ROM after i update.
Sorry for making so many different posts with questions, not all of them came to my mind at the same time
Solution to Post 6:
Download MyPhoneExplorer in market and download myphoneexplorer for pc enable usb debugging and connect your phone via usb open myphoneexplorer and mini pro and pc and sync contacts.
Install rom and download myphoneexplorer from market again and sync with pc again. all contacts,sms,calls,calendar can now be restored.
ROM: MiniCM v1.2
ROM: Cyanogen Froyo CM6-Latest (based on MiniCM/CM6v2) v1.3
Question: Hi, I'm new on XDA. Your job is very impressive. I need a little help.
I already installed xRecover, but every time I try to install the rom I got the following error:
Output from Recovery.log
Code:
-- Installing: SDCARD:update.zip
Finding update package...
I:Update location: SDCARD:update.zip
Opening update package...
I:Update file path: /sdcard/update.zip
minzip: Missed a local header sig (at 16)
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
Mount /dev/block/mtdblock0 on /system read-only
I've tried using install Update.zip option, also with install custom zip. Same output for both and for the original filename too. Also checked the MD5 of the file and it was ok. Later I downloaded [ROM] Cyanogen Gingerbread CM7 Final Sources (v13.0 + Hotfix #2) and I installed it without problems. Now I don't know what could be the problem. I googoled a lot about this but no one has a final answer.
Any help would be great
ROM: MiniCMv1.3
Question: I've been using this ROM almost for a day now, it's really impressive. Everything is very stable and works fine. There is only one thing, some apps are not installing from Stock market. For example Angry birds. I don't really need it, but i think it's related to the size of the app so it might come up in other big applications, cause every smaller app downloads and installs fine. Then i try to download and install it, it just starts downloading and disappears after few seconds. Deleting all cache files helps for one time, then you need to delete it again and install another big application. Is there any way to fix it without deleting the cache file?
Bug: Well this is not really a bug, just wanted to say that this ROM has really weak reception, at least until i tried your 1.4hotfix. Where i had 0 blocks i now have 2, and where i had 2 i have 4, so this hotfix definitely works for me. Thank you.
Bug2: Maybe it's just me but keyboard light is on everytime you open it, doesn't matter if it's dark or not. As far as i remember it worked differently in stock rom (maybe i'm wrong).
For the people who are asking about battery life. I have observed how much battery does it use in standby mode. And with almost the same settings as in Stock 2.1 i managed to get about 2hours with 1% of battery. It's still a bit worse than stock where i got about 3.5hours with 1%. I just recently installed reception hotfix and will try to observe the battery life now, i think i'll manage to reach about 3hours with 1%. Gona inform you all later about this.
Solution to post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13422864&postcount=9
You could move some of the larger apps on to the SD card by going to settings/applications/manage applications, select the application you want to move and select move to SD. This will make more space on the phones flash memory allowing you to download larger apps from the market. Some apps won't allow you to move them to the SD card but most seem to allow it so try a few.
I've never had this problem so can't say for sure but it seems an intuitive fix.
Cheers

well phone has plenty of free memory (168mb currently), so that's not the case. but still thanks for reply

Hi Slade,
Nice work! Is there a way to translate (for my girlfriend) not translated parts. Some general way to do it? Thank you for your patience with us!
ROM: MiniCMv1.4, but Gingerbread too (is it different?)

ROM: Cyanogen Gingerbread CM7 Final Sources
Bug(s): Only know problems: reboot, camera and radio
But i can use without problem.
Your work is great!
Thanks
ROM: Cyanogen Gingerbread CM17 Final Sources v13
Bug(s): Camera App is in some kind of asian language (yeah i know its listed that the app is buggy but maybe its helpfull), the radio and Barnacle keeps crashing when _stop_ it, if its on it works fine, all my devices can connect but when i switch it off, my U20i reboots. Also sometimes my U20i freezes for a few seconds, but no reboot.
Other stuff works fine, awesome rom!

Hi all,
I have a mini pro/U20i running Eclair, specs as follows;
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404006
Kernel: 2.6.29
Build no: 2.0.A.0.504
Rooted, xrecovery installed
I'm looking to upgrade to the latest stable android version available for my phone, but must admit the in-depth tech talk does go over my head a little when looking at the ROM threads. I have enough tech savvy to be able to flash etc, but not too great with the programming speak.
I'd like to ensure that bluetooth, wireless, root, gprs etc are all 100% working on the ROM I upgrade to. Not bothered about radio or anything you can get an alternative of from the market.
From what I've seen gingerbread is available but not yet 100% functional, and I know there are stable Froyo versions available however the requirements state the baseband as above, but ending in 53404015 is required.
Is there considerable risk flashing a ROM if my baseband is slightly different?
I'm particularly looking for stable multitouch too, but the thread I read says manual edit of .sh and .prop files must be done - and I don't know how to do this
Dev and user opinions would be muchly appreciated.
Hi you will need the newer baseband just update with seus then you will need to reroot and install xrecovery again then once you have done that go to this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059361 ) its the most stable I think and dual touch is included so no messing around
Hope this helps you
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
just use the flasher and baseband files from the baseband thread. much faster and easier than using seus and rooting again. just put the rom you want on with xrec, pull the battery out, flash, and youre done! shouldnt take more than 10 minutes once you know what youre doing!
For me, using SEUS is safer, even if I have to root and install xRecovery again.
I you want the most stable ROM with all functions working, you have to choose CM6-MiniCM hybrid noOC from Slade.
I'm using that ROM since he released it and never had a reboot, and everything is working.
If you have stock rom, you should format SD card.

yeah using SEUS is better... and you can reflash after you update using it....
after root and xrec, just make a backup on xrec so you can reflash to 2.1 back... and dont waste time on reflash+root+xrec again.... i did that save lots of time
ps: make sure full wipe+dalvic clear before restore backup... ^^

Cyanogen Froyo CM6-Latest (based on MiniCM/CM6v2) - v2.0 + DualTouch is the most stable ROM for me. Just flash using SEUS or flasher to get the required baseband.
I recommend using the flasher because it helps you understand the flashing process. Just follow the tutorial.
Thanks for all your help guys, that's helped me out no end
I am now the proud owner of an x10mp android 2.2.1 (went with Slade's ROM - big thumbs up, it's beautiful!!)
I have one final question.. when I installed the last ROM I had, I used flashtool, so doing it with xrec was a new experience for me... I did notice that before it installed the rom, it said 'formatting /system' or words to this effect.
I need to install the two hotfixes that are posted with the rom - the drain and browser ones... do I package the files within these zips into an update.zip and run again from xrec or can I transfer the updated system files just using root explorer? I'm worried that xrec will take the update.zip as a full rom and will delete the contents of my system folder - please reassure me this isn't the case and it will just update with newer files!
MANY thanks again for your help and advice!

Just use each from xrec, it will replace some file but it won't format your system, only the big release file does that (100MB++).

I now have a happy 2.2.1 android mini pro with multitouch!
At first, it was a little slow and I had a few blank screens and FCs....
Screen brightness was very low even when I was actively using the phone, so I unchecked the auto display option and set a brightness I'm happy with. Sorted!
With Titanium I restored my backups, including my wifi connections. Saves having to re-enter all the passwords right? Wrong!
I had a number of connection issues. Data was very slow, to slow to even register my google account on market. Wifi wouldn't load market or bring up anything in the browser...
When I did establish a fast enough data connection, market was completely out of sync with my phone apps.
Turns out the data connection just needed to 'warm up' along with the new android system. As for the wifi, I removed all my connections with the 'forget' option, and manually scanned and entered the passwords again. Now my wifi flies
So all in all, a very smooth upgrade process, a couple of hiccups with the data/wifi and brightness that have been ironed out, and now I am loving my new android again. The multitouch is very slick and having superuser, jit and xrec preinstalled is just brilliant! Games are lag free too which makes a big difference (yep, I'm an Angry Bird club member)
Think I've made my iphone user hubby a bit jealous. I like to remind him every now and then that apple have him by the balls, and he has to buy a whole new phone to do any update such as the one I've just done (again )
The battery drains a little quicker than on the previous rom, but I expect that will settle down after a few days. One thing I have noticed is that I'm repeatedly ending apps with ATK that I hadn't even opened - on my last rom I'd never see anything that I hadn't opened myself.
An example being, just opened ATK and I have the following running;
APN OnOff
Gmail
Maps
None of these I've opened since I last ran ATK Other repeat offenders are Browser, google search and camera,
Any ideas? WhatsApp used to open randomly until I moved it to the SD card. It's behaving itself now.
Don't need to use taskkillers in 2.2.1, android handles battery quite efficiently.
Battery increase is due to overclocking and because it's a custom rom.
Hope that helps.

My battery life has stabilised now. Took phone off charge about 8.30 am and now, 1.30pm it's at 83%, so can't complain
I find apps such as maps and google voice/search do drain the memory quite a bit so still prefer to use atk. Just opened atk to find I have;
maps
handcent
apn OnOff
gmail
google voice
ROM manager (I've never opened this since installing the rom)
calendar
camera
all running and memory at 41M. Killed apps and memory now at 71M
Is there a way to stop these apps from randomly running? Apart from a calendar alert for today, I haven't manually opened anything from the list
cheers,

It's normal to have applications taking up memory. It is so that it will be speedy in opening those apps so try not to use a taskkiller. The only time these idle apps use battery is when there is CPU usage: so check with your spare parts. If they don't use CPU, no need to kill.
If you're insistent that the apps are frustratingly persistent, then freeze the app using titanium backup. Note that freezing certain system apps may cause problems eg freeze google talk and market won't work.
Try at your own risk.

Do i need to flash to stock like the 1st time i flashed MIUI or can i just flash over my current version lik a regular old rom?
Sent from my T959 using XDA App
if you are using cmw you should be able to just flash it over. be sure to wipe data/cache and format. I flashed energy 6.5 from cm7.
ya im jus on the weekly AOSP one and needa upgrade b/c i sound robotic to ppl on the phone
yeah I had the same problem. I love miui but I cant stant the battery life. It will drain itself while being charged. if you do get a full charge it wont last more than 3-4 hours. but whats funny is I can play 3d games for hours at a time and I wont die

Then you have this BUG!
Android OS bug, :
(thanks to ceriko ! and his awesome guide for DarkyROM 10.1)
If your battery drains very fast and your battery stats mentions Android OS above 10%, often between 40 and 60%, sometimes more, this is the best to do as far as I know:
- Remove the 2/3 system files as per the beginning part of this guideguide about batterie issues.
- Install WatchDog and open (I set it to "moderate", then I close it, that's all), this app will warn you whenever an app or a process miss-behaves by draining the battery excessively. It will not fix it but just flag it and you will see a notification.
- Reboot usually stops the drain for a while until it naturally comes back, so reboot whenever you see Android OS above 10% and rising or after you see WatchDog mentioning "Suspend" process using too much battery (the suspend process hanging is the Android OS bug).
- Some apps trigger it, most common are Gameloft games (blame Samsung, not the games/apps). No need to use apps or games for this drain to happen, it also happens straight after boot once phone has been fully charged.
This bug can not be fixed by anyone but Samsung. Some never see it, some will experience it everyday no matters what they do... It's just annoying and unfair but that's the same on all Gingerbread releases by Samsung (JVK, JVB, JVO, JVH). Apparently even the SGS2 has this...
And if you are already on a miui.us rom or ENERGY then to update just:
1.) Wipe dalvik
2.) Wipe Cache Partition
3.) Format system
4.) Flash Latest ENERGY
5.) Fix Permissions
6.) Reboot
7.) Let settle for 6 minutes
8.) Reboot
9.) Enjoy!
Robotic voice only effects incomming calls.
Heres what to do:
Connect call
hit the "speaker phone" button 2 times
then say hello (or whatever you say when you answer)
It is a known bug on all aosp roms for Vibrant
Wired headsets or blue tooth DO NOT suffer from this bug.
Hope this helps you.
O ok thanks that does help. Least u know i cant fix it

People do realize that these steps completely wipe the system before installing the new version, right? This is NOT an upgrade of your existing install.
I upgraded from Bionix 1.3.1 to the latest MIUI. I did not care about saving any setting for apps or anything. I made a list of apps I will reinstall afterwards. Problem is a have a ton of folders and files I don't need. Don't know what I can delete.
What are the absolute minimum folders/files that will show up after a clean MIUI install?
OR
How can I get the stock recovery back so I can reinstall the stock ROM?

i would recommend formating your SD card then following the steps in the guide linked below.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/14xGkh3BuU1OYR6eYY0XAk6BoRHsQAPWEHeVSJ1HcioI/edit?hl=en_US
that way the only folders on your SD are the basic essentials. and your applications as they install will make the required folders they need.

that way the only folders on your SD are the basic essentials. and your applications as they install will make the required folders they need.

Format SD from CWM? There are a lot of format options in there.

There is a huge debate about this, but if you are not ready for a new Kernel, you can try an app call Autokiller Memory Optimizer and set it to the Optimum setting.
This will kill apps that are eating up your RAM and over time can slow your phone. This is one simple and quick solution.
This app adjust the memory killer that is already used by the phone. This just helps it to work more efficiently.

Big plus one to this. It's like CM7 (CyanogenMod) or CM7-based MIUI should have been released for our devices from the start. I couldn't believe how smooth my Fascinate was after installing andmer's MIUI.
Here's his twitter where he links to his releases: http://twitter.com/#!/andmer_
And here's the latest release as of this post: http://goo.gl/Pja9F (includes jt's CM7 kernel) + patch: http://goo.gl/OquBU

Where's your other thread? I had an SD Card mount error but found a fix and posted it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296694&page=2#post18859876
Let me read your thread and I'll see if it's the same issue.
here is mine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325525
Jsut so I have the steps down:
1) You have the ROM zip file on your SD Card
2) Reboot into ClockworkMod
3) Select install Zip from SD card
4) Navigate to the Zip file
5) Install
You're saying the process breaks for you at #3 because CWM can't read your SD Card?
If the above problem is true, try using rom manager to find and flash the file. if not try a different sd card.

back to the lag issue...when running these roms are you restoring backups from Titanium. If so, are your backups from a froyo rom, that could be part of the problem if you also get force closes. I had the same problem a while back. I have also noticed if changing fonts(such as with absolute system root tools) certain more elaborate fonts can cause some lag as well. also check into the widgets you are using, even on CM7.1 i get insane lag and launcher force closes if I use Fancy Widgets but everything else is fine.
Hopefully one of those things will solve the issue...if not wipe it clean and start fresh lol but seriously hope you figure it out
after re-reading the op it really sounds like your problem could be with restoring apps, it sounds identical to when I first switched to the GB roms. You run smooth as butter for a while the it all goes to hell. I would start with wipe data/factory reset but when intalling backups try WITHOUT DATA if you still get lag, wipe again and install your apps manually from the market or where ever. I ended up going with the latter and haven't had issues since.
