All of a sudden, yesterday, opening the gallery app would freeze my phone. It would become unresponsive & very slow.
I was on CleanROM 1.0 VZW. I did a full wipe & installed CleanROM VZW lite, same issue, then full wipe & installed CleanROM 4.0.5. Same issue. Gallery is very slow to load/or freezes the phone. No other programs but what is included with roms, full data wipe each time.
I odined back to stock, & gallery works fine. I unlocked, installed CleanROM 4.0.5 again(full data wipe, no other apps downloaded), & gallery is back to fubar.
I can use QuickPic, but I would like to figure out what is going on with gallery. BTW, I am using a brand new fresh microsd, as I thought my older one was the culprit. But it does it with both cards.
I had the same thing going on, and so did my friend's s3. Allshare was taking up tons of battery. Turned off Allshare, both problems went away.
I don't know if it will, but I hope that helps.

Well, I tried shutting off Allshare in settings, but every time I would go check to see it was off, it was still on. So I used Titanium Back-up & froze everything associated with Allshare, & now the gallery is back to it's zippy self. Muchas Gracias!!!!!!!

That's actually what I did too, but I always try to give root-neutral advice first, since not everyone is rooted.
Glad it worked. Also, I believe any time you go into the Allshare settings, it automatically toggles it on (kind of like wifi). So if you turn it off and just leave it alone, it should just be off... the uncertainty of it though drove me nuts and I ended up freezing it haha

Hey Guys,
Having an issue that I just can't seem to figure out. First, my phone specs:
Running EB01 Modem & JT's EB01 Voodoo Kernel w/SuperClean 2.2 Voodoo, ASOP Lock, Power & Battery Mod (via Domush walkthrough).
Now the problem: my phone just shuts off completely when it feels like it and the only way to get it back on is to do a battery pull. Searched the forums and throught it might be the proximity sensor, but flashed it back to stock and it was fine. It seems to happen randomly. It's not the battery because each time i turn it back on it have plenty of battery life. I've tried freezing all my apps and it still does it as well.
Is there someting i'm missing? Anyone else have an idea?
Thank you in advance
My first suggestion is backup your apps and do a wipe wipe wipe. See if that corrects problem.
Let us know

I had that happen a couple times as well with SC 2.1. I only ran it for a couple days before SC 2.2 came out. After flashing 2.2 over 2.1, and wiping the cache a couple times, I haven't had it happen again. Then again I only upgraded yesterday, so it may yet happen again. Time will tell.

So far so good....I wiped x3 everything (cache, davik, everything) and it seems to have worked. Thank guys. I'll let you know if it acts up again.
Come to find out it was a rom prob, fixed in the forums, called the sleep of death.

FWIW, I did not have the problem with 2.2, and now have upgraded to SC 2.4, and the issue still has not returned. It does seem like I have to hit the power button twice to wake it up once in a while, but it never fails to wake up.

It seems to have only happen when you do the steps in a certain order. It's all fixed with the patch.
Actually, it's NOT been fixed with the patch. If you read the thread, the people that thought it worked had it come back after a few hours of use. The only way I've been able to "fix" it thus far is to go back to the stock ebo1 rom. FWIW, the problem for me seems to resurface after I access any media. The first time was after I listened to music through Poweramp and the latest was after watching a video in media hub.

Hmm, I'll have to check it out....I went through my photos and it worked fine after that. I use Audiogalaxy so I don't have music on my phone. I'll go run a video and see if that triggers it. Good looking out JJRocker
This so far has been an issue that's really hard to find info for and it's driving me nuts...lol. So yeah, even though I'm far from being an expert, I'm trying my best to figure out what's causing it so that I can work around it or better yet, help the devs out since they are the real experts here. Adrynalyne put a test patch up and asked people to report on it, so it would probably help a lot if everyone having the problem would post their results in this thread. He's the guy that's probably most likely to figure this out. Also, that link has the patch if you want to give it a shot.
One thing I should probably mention is that at least in my case, once the SOD surfaces, it happens about every 4th to 5th wakeup until I reflash the rom or go to another one. So if you've experienced it already, there's a good chance you won't be able to cure it without a reflash.
Ive noticed there is a certain population of folks who have it, and a larger population of those who do not.
I've been researching for hours on end, with no clear common resolution.
For some, not using Titanium to restore apps fixes it.
For some, my test patch works.
For some, a double reboot fixes it.
I had it happen once, ever, and it was on stock eb01. It never happened again. I myself have noticed increased instability on eb01 using maps and gps, however. A couple days ago, launching maps, and turning on the gps afterwards hard locked my device.
@adrynalyne
Exactly.
It seems that mine is fixed with the patch in both of your SuperClean 2.3 & 2.4, I've tried different media and it seems fixed. Only time will tell tho.
And thank you for all that you do with this phone. It had such great potenital and with you and folks like jt, it's making this phone amazing!
It's strange....I had it happen once this morning and now I can't replicate it. I have used Titanium to restore apps but I only restore one app, AndroidPit App Center. I need it to download ADW EX and Beautiful Widgets since they take PayPal and my debit card doesn't do foreign currency.
Anyway, someone at Android Central suggested avoiding ADW because people were reporting issues with the SOD and that launcher. So, I'm gonna run LP+ for a while and see how that works out.
I have been using ADW EX and no real problems...
...but I didn't think about it, I did clear out me Titanium Backup and just reDownloaded stuff this time. Maybe the backups are the culprit?
Well, right now I'm starting over on SC 2.4 and trying all the remedies I've seen posted thus far. I wiped data and cache, flashing SC 2.4. I'm going to skip the backup assistant since it might try to restore apps that were restored by Titanium. I'll run LP+ and flash a theme (VA green is my current fave...love the BA). Gonna restore my apps manually from the market and I'll even double reboot when I'm all done...lol. Anyway, wish me luck...the real test will be tomorrow at work. I use HandBase to keep track of things so I put my phone in and out of sleep a lot during the day.
And also, many thanks to Adrynalyne and all the other great devs here. The work put into this stuff is much appreciated. I wouldn't put this much effort into getting this working if SC wasn't such an amazing ROM.

When I redid it again my aps were automatically restoring themselves. So to save you some sanity, make sure you go into privacy and turn off "Backup my settings" and "Restore my settings" as well. It may be dimmed out, but it will sutomatically restore them as well. It's doesn't really do much from what I can tell (I still have to manually add passwords to wifis, which it says it backs up)
Ya know, maybe that's the cuplrit of this whole shabang
Ok, so I had the SOD on LP+ too. Out of curiosity, is anyone with this problem using Switchpro widget or another power control widget that changes brightness? The one thing that seems to always precede the SOD for me has been installing and putting this widget on my desktop. Also, one time I did have it before I installed the widget and checked my screen timeout settings...there was nothing checked which is the same as having the screen never turn off. Apparently, backup assistant restored the setting automatically from a previous flash. Also, I think Super Clean has a power control widget on one of the homescreens by default if I remember correctly. Everything was running great, couldn't get it to SOD, so I started installing some of my apps and put the switchpro widget on my main homescreen, and got SOD on the very next wakeup.
I believe I may have found my culprit!! But before I say, let me recap:
I backed up using TiB. Flashed everything back to DI01 and got the OTA update. Restarted, then flashed to DL09. Reboot, Flashed to Deoxed EB01. I also kept the origional kernel, didn't meess with it because I believed that it was the cuplrit, I am assuming I'm wrong. Everything was good. Slowly started adding programs back seeing which one will kill my phone. I finally found it......it was YouMail.
If you are using this product, you can have it on to your system and it will work. But as soon as it receives its notification of a New Voice Mail notification from their servers. It locks up. Hopfully uninstallation and a reboot will take it away, but only time will tell. I'll report back in.
I recently upgraded to GSB v2.1 from my previously non-rooted bog standard Eris and am amazed by what I had been missing out for. I'm still pretty much a complete newbie to the whole custom ROM thing though, and have a few questions that may be quite stupid.
1) I'm getting force close crashes w/ the Facebook app. It'll load for a second and I'll see my news page, then force close comes up. Do I just need to reinstall or ... ? Edit: Facebook seems to be loading now, without force close issues. The problem was very repeatable (every time I tried to open the app!) last night, but seems gone today. Ah well, good riddance!
2) While trying to play a vid from Youtube, the sound is working flawlessly but the video doesn't seem to be advancing. I can move forward manually but all I get are still pictures from the video. This is using the browser that came with GSB; I haven't yet tried to get any other apps.
3) My wife's phone seriously needs this too, but she's leery of wiping her phone of apps. What's the best way to backup apps from a non-rooted Eris?
Thanks in advance for any answers you guys can provide!
Download titanium backup for the apps I'm new at this too I'm unsure about your problems with Facebook and YouTube did you wipe the dalvik cache?
Sent from my Ginger Tazz using Tapatalk
I did wipe the cache, although like I said, I haven't put any apps on here yet, so no harm in just wiping it all again and reflashing the rom to make sure it works. Thanks for the titanium backup tip!
No problem gsb is a great rom these Eris devs do awesome work I use gsb 2.0 no problems I'm trying Ginger tazz now I think battery life may be a little better but both are excellent. You should totally hook your wife's phone up too

I think the Youtube thing is a known issue, and I'm guessing that it's just because Cyanogen Mod 7 isn't completely done yet, so maybe it'll be worked out over time.

Just to let you know, you can wipe the Dalvik cache any time you want to, even after loading apps. It'll just longer to rebuild it when you reboot, but it can help solve issues sometimes.
Welcome to rooting!
That's great to hear! Well, it's not great that youtube doesn't work 100%, but at least it's not some weird problem particular to me. Lol.
I have to say, I really really have grown to like this ROM very fast. My wife is clamoring for it even knowing she's gonna lose all her apps. Any tips on how I set my contacts to import Facebook profile pics now? I did it before, but have no clue where that was or where it may have moved to now.

best option i found for backing up my wife's apps before flashing from stock was to use "universal androot" to root (it is a software root so there is no rebooting or flashing or really any risk of loosing aps). then you can install titanium backup. it will even backup protected files since you have root. when titanium backup loads, hit menu->batch and pick the backup all new apps and newer versions. after flashing, load titanium backup, menu-> batch and pick restore all missing apps (i restored them with data, but many people have had to install the app only and then put back in the other info). FYI i rooted several (5) phones this way. if you install rom manager from the market and install a recovery (clockwork or amon's) from the rom manager, you can turn phone off, then hold vol down and power on to boot to recovery. from there you can wipe and flash. it is the easiest way to root and flash a new rom imho.
sorry figured i should answer your post i quoted. lol. if under menu-> accounts and sync->add account->facebook. input your info and select sync all or sync current contacts. it should pull in the information. if you have different names for people in your contacts and your facebook (ex "wife" in your contacts and "jane" on facebook) you can "sync all contacts" and manually link them. contacts->long press on contact->edit contact->menu->join. this should link you contacts with their facebook info. the facebook pics will sync it just takes a good bit of time sometimes.
Brief history...originally coming from stock froyo OTA...flashed CWM (3/30 fix)...rooted...nandroid BU...TiBU...GIANT leap of faith (virgin rom flash) to Comm Rom 1.2. I did not wipe data, but I did wipe cache and dalvik. I was running Launcher Pro and had a clock widget, along with Pandora and Winamp on my home screens. Things were running fairly smooth, but every now and then, some odd things would happen. On two occasions, when my battery was low (below 35% or so) and I plugged the phone in (AC charger), after a couple of hours, the battery would only show around 45% (basically much lower than it should have been after charging that long). As it turned out, it was "stuck" and a reboot fixed it. Sorry, I'm new to this, and I don't know how to grab logs yet, otherwise I would have, because I know that my ramblings won't do much to help the issues. Anywho...
Then I came to realize that I needed an app that was no longer installed (memo pad...which got killed in the debloating process), and I stumbled on the new release of EF and there were flashable stock apps (memo pad included) in that thread. Curiosity got the best of me and I flashed it...after which my clock and music widgets vanished (from the home screens and from the widget selection dialog). Then I flashed EF (3.5.1) but Launcher Pro didn't play nicely with it, and there were a few other odd things happening...so...I bit the bullet...wiped data, cache, dalvik, and reflashed Comm Rom 1.2 (via 1.0) and got everything (almost) back to normal. This time I did not use Launcher Pro, and I set up my home screens just like before. I then flashed the TSM Market app fix, and poof, gone again.
What gives?
p.s. after the full wipe, I haven't seen the battery thing happen yet, but I'll keep an eye on it.
**edit** today I decided to let the battery fully drain and do a full charge. after 4.5 hours on a car charger (big mistake in the first place), it was showing 37%. I rebooted and suddenly it was up to 48%. That was at 8 pm. Just checked it again, and it's up to 97%. Turned the phone on, and there were no user apps in the app drawer. Went to market (, to market...) and everything is there. Exited back to home and Google search widget was gone (but that one is easy to replace...just odd that it would disappear like that).
**edit** just checked (12:15 am)...fully charged. unplugged phone and screen went black and unresponsive. eventually (after several long presses of the power button) it rebooted. phone only powered on for 5 minutes (display only on briefly to check battery level) and already at 96%.
This is an interesting one...are they showing up in the manage applications file?
If you are referring to the "menu --> manage apps" thing, then yes they are there. The clock was an actual widget that I downloaded from the market called "digital clock widget"and the pandora and winamp ones are built into those primary apps.

Three cheers for self inflicted frustration. Solved my problem. So stupid me just came to realize that widgets don't like to run from the sd card. I was playing around with tibu and moved [all] my apps to the sd card (prior to the situation described in the OP). All was fine because they were still loaded in memory, but when I rebooted to flash those apps...bingo.
I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner, but I feel really dumb now. As I suspected, the clock app doesn't even support being moved to the sd. I'll have to move the apps through app manager to avoid any [stupid] issues.
Once I finish working out my self inflicted problems, I'll get things how I want and bump up to 1.3 (unless 1.4 comes out).

Not sure if you have already completed the move of some of your apps back to internal memory (that would be some scary **** if I did LOL) but I saw that you had done TiBU before starting this - so I can presume you still have that...
There is a batch operation to move all user apps to SD card or to Internal memory. As it goes with all teh batch operations, you get to pick and choose what to move prior to starting the batch, which could save you some considerable time in doing so...
Yeah, I had batched them all to the sd card the first time. I batched them back to the phone, but now I have to check them one by one in app manager to see which ones natively support it.

So, I have no idea what has happened here, but I seem to have lost my calendar application. Is there any way, other than re-installing the ROM to get that back?
Ok, so, the plot thickens. I went ahead and just reflashed the rom through ClockWork Manager, got everything to boot up just fine, and using Titanium Backup was able to reinstall all my programs/settings. Now a really interesting thing has happened, the phone won't recognize my sim card! When I go into wireless networks and settings, and then into mobile network providers, it prompts me to put a sim card into the phone (of course, there's already one in there).
Any suggestions on this?
My plan for now is to go home, back everything up to my computer, wipe everything through my CWM recovery, and then try to re-flash again.
Also, the keyboard that I use (SlideIt) is having problems force closing every few seconds, which is becoming REALLY annoying.
I would love your input.
ok, so, after a full wipe of the phone, and THEN re-installing Axura 2.3.1.3, I think I'm back to where I want to be. Phone is recognizing my SIM again and I'm in the middle of doing my restoration with TiBU. I'm gonna go through apps first and THEN system information to see if that's what caused my problems before. Might have a corrupted TiBU file somewhere, or a rogue one that's causing these problems for me.
if calander was the only problem in the first place you could have just downloaded 1 from market ??
yeah, I could have, but I really just wanted the stock Google calendar. I'm weird like that

This is weird. I am running the Ineffabilis ROM with the 1.3 dsb SmartAss v2 kernel. I was running Ziggy but it froze up/rebooted at least once a day regardless of settings.
This is an absolutely killer setup, it looks awesome & is rocket fast with no freezeups/reboots whatever.
I had installed CPUMaster PRO & use it for speed/governor settings etc.
Last night, I decided to try undervolting slightly to see if it made any difference whatever in the already pretty good battery life. I went through it & set every clock speed at -50 for voltage. I also added a 1x1 home screen widget to constantly read out what speed it was currently running at.
It was plugged in/charging all night, & when I turned the phone on this morning the widget was gone (there was a blank spot on what had been a screen full of shortcuts etc.
I'm like WTF, but no big deal I will just recreate the widget. When I go to do that, I cannot find the app anywhere. It was completely gone from my phone & I had to DL & install it all over again......
I have occasionally had the Android bug where a photo taken to the card disappears (that has happened to me with three different phones & at least three different cards) but never had an installed app disappear before.
Has anybody else seen this particular problem/feature/error etc........ ???

I just read a post about disappearing app in the last hour but when they went to reinstall it said they already had the app. Sounds like yours was actually gone?

I'm not 100% sure now, but I THINK it reinstalled it totally from scratch.
I use AppMonster as it automatically makes/saves a backup APK of every app I install to my card. Then, I don't have to find/DL an app in the future. I just go to the BU folder & click on that apps APK & I'm good to go again.....

I'm going to try that app out. Can you selectively restore apps or do you have to do them all?
While I'm on stock I'm trying a bunch of apps out and once I root and get a fresh ROM installed I'm not going to want to put all of the apps back.

Yes, you can selectively reinstall anything you want. It is an awesome app, I much prefer this to doing a batch reinstall with TIBU.
In the preferences, select "plain style backup" & set it to automatically BU any new app you install. That tells it to copy the APK from any app you install to a folder of your choosing.
Then, after a ROM flash you just go to the folder & selectively click on whatever apps you want to install. I have used the app for a couple years & it's awesome.
~John
can vouch for app monster pro. Great way to back up. Some apps can't be restored (they will be marked protected), but most can and it will keep old versions as well so if an update is crap you can revert.
