Hi
I was using the previous version of Iced Bean and liked it a lot. However after only one month it became slow. Seeing that a new version was available, I flashed 4.0 on my Xperia Ray with a stock kernal. The ROM has several new features and I liked it a lot. But there were a few bugs that I would like to report here for the developer and in case anyone knows an easy fix for them.
The telephone icon disappears regularly. Fancy features are fine, but easily using the device as a phone is a must
The ROM became very laggy almost immediately after installing my favorite apps. Rebooting did not help and there is pleanty of free space on the phone and on the SD
The internet browser crashes a lot. This was also a problem in the previous version.
I can not turn off 180 degree rotation of the screen. For me, this alone is almost a deal-breaker.
I hope this message will be found by the appropriate people. :fingers-crossed:

Seeing as you are under the number of required posts to post in the Development section, here are some steps/suggestions that may help:
Re-flash the firmware (FTF)
Install a recommended (if there is) kernel
Enter the recovery menu
Wipe cache and dalvik-cache
Install ROM
Waiting for a few minutes for the ROM to settle. There usually won't be any issues if you have performed the procedure mentioned above.

Thanks for the reply. I tried these steps already and have moved on to another ROM.
Perhaps there was an issue with my phone in particular or a problem with compatibility with one of the apps I like.

Hi
First post on this forum so hello everybody and if this is posted in the wrong area, I apologise : )
Well let me get down to the issue. I've been reading about rooting my phone (DHD) for a while and decided to take the plunge. Everything went well, phone is rooted and has access to superuser but I got a bit carried away with myself.
I decided to flash a new ROM (CyanogenMod-7.1 for DHD) and since then I've had a few problems. Flashing the ROM itself was fine, all booted up OK. This is the stupid part (feel free to laugh at me), before I flashing the ROM I didn't really do any home work on the process. It was late, I was in the mood to tinker about and just thought what the hell. Before I flashed the ROM I did a full back up of my apps and data and this is where some of the problems stem from. I have a tried restoring my apps and data and it completes but the phone runs with loads of force close errors. I've tried using the tool included on 'ROM Manager' to fix force close issues but still getting issues.
What i'd like to do is just go back to sense 2.1 for the time being whilst i read up on flashing roms and working out which ROM is more suited to me.
Do i have to find the sense 2.1 ROM and flash it again or is it still on the phone somewhere? My stock was with virgin mobile in the uk
Thanks for reading
I've resolved this now - thread can be closed : )

Hi guys!
I have changed rom from cm7 to miui today.
First thing i noticed is its not that much attractive or user friendly as cm7.
Im still wondering where is the app drawer???If anyone knows let me know!
Found a bug:
1-In brightness setting when i clicked custom brightness levels, phone went in loop mode.Had to reinstall the rom from cwm to get thing sorted.
2-I have kept time on "automatic" mode but rom doesnt take time from my sim operator.I have enabled all options but i think i will have to enter time manually.
The contacts menu is not as cutomizable as cm7.I dont get direct call button beside contacts names as i used to get in cm7.
It has good set of themes but theme download takes a lot of time.Server seems to be slow from where it downloads themes.
Will be posting more reviews as i use it.Dont think so i will tolerate this for more than a week!
The default MIUI launcher has no concept of an app drawer, it's like iOS in that they're all dumped on the home screen. You'll need a different launcher if you want an app drawer.
Some of the brightness issues might be caused by the fact that the original CM7/MIUI ports for the S5/V are hackports, those specific issues are expected.

Seems this ROM is bit buggy?
I installed miui rom at 8am morning and removed it at 11! thats all!
System time changed automatically. and when i called or received calls all the time it ran directly on speakerphone.(defauly option should be ear speaker).
I found it really a headache.
As we say in India, China is "CHINA"!!
Its a chinese rom and upgrade option given there to update the rom but it works in chinese language and asks for mobile verification code to register with miui.us!bUT I NEVER GOT THE CODE IN MY SMS INBOX!
Also miui rom has same ussb codes problems.google app is available though.Ididnt try ussd fix via cwm coz i really didnt like the rom.
Back to cm7...its the best and i thank the cm team for providing such a great rom.
USSD codes are broken on ALL S5/V GB roms if you dont apply the USSD fix, which apparently wasnt included in this rom.
It's due to all GB based roms reusing the dell stock drivers (which the USSD handling code lives in)
CM7 is also affected by it, I dont remember offhand if the V one has the fix included, but the original S5 one definitely didnt.
i used MIUI rom and i could reduce brightness in settings and it didnt FC...the only problem i found in CM7 and MIUI is the clock...even after i set the time it goes faster than it should go...those r the only problems i faced...now cant do anything with phone as it doesnt boot after showing dell logo...the logo disappears and dont know what happens...need help pls
I have been using MIUI on my Venue for two weeks now. Had stock Froyo rom before.
I have not experienced any of the issues reported in this thread.. not even the time creep.
Here's how I updated to MIUI.
1. Install Olleh 408 recovery (available here)
2. Install Olleh 408 update package (available here)
Note: rename this file to update.pkg and copy to your SD card's root.
3. install CWM recovery
4. wipe cache, user data, dalvik cache & Battery stats
5. install miui zip
reboot.
By the way, folks here using CM7... can you mute your phone during a call? also, do you experience any calls made or received where the other party could not hear you?

Yes we cant mute the calls,
Even if we mute the other party can hear us.
And the second issue is 1/10 where the other party cant hear you clearly or atall. But second time call solves the problem.
We need a workaround on the above two issues.

Mute issue is only with CM7...Mute works in miui. Other party can't hear you issue is on all miui and cm roms for streak 5 as well. Since They share kernel base...(kang/dsc/olleh)..I am pretty sure its kernel related.

Is there any better kernel that we can use?
any workaround?
guys try the new roms posted in the CM7 and MIUI for dell venue thread...it is posted towards the end of the thread...better updates than what is originally posted...i tried both the roms it works fine for me...
Hi,
Not sure where to report this kind of thing but I seem to be getting frequent lockups on my S2 with the Resurrection Remix 3.1.3 that I wasn't getting with the previous 3.1.2.

You mean freezes and/or fc's? You actually have to ask in the RR-thread, but I understand you only have posted 8 posts for now.
Remember RR 3.1.3 is still very new and under development, and isn't as stable as 3.1.2 is. If you want more stability, flash the 3.1.2-version.
And did you flash it with a full wipe? It's a must.

The normal procedure would be to first read through the posts on the roms dev thread and see if others have had same issue and what (if any) solution is. if you dont see any comments then make one of your own explaining issue (You wont be able to do this until you have 10 posts).
Before leaving any replies on topic you should try doing a wipe/factory reset in recovery then boot to system see if you have same issues. Its advised to wipe recovery before each rom flash (Unless you have stock kernel, If you have stock rom/kernel you need to flash custom kernel before wiping. You can mostly ignore wiping if you are updating to new version of same rom however its still advised as somtimes can lead to issues.
You dont need to worry about apps/appdata and sms etc as you can easily backup them with Titanimum Backup Pro and SMS Backup etc. Get pro version of TB as you can batch backup/restore app/appdata in one go.

Thanks for the replies!
It freezes as in apps start becoming more and more unresponsive, sound if playing starts to stutter more and more until it ceases playing at all and phone us completely unresponsive except to a long hold if the power button. Sorry but I don't know what FC is.
I upgraded because the notifier informed me that there was a new ROM; I see now that it's a good idea to wait a bit now. I've downgraded to 3.1.2 which I've been very impressed with the responsiveness and stability of.
My first attempt at installing 3.1.3 was an attempt at an upgrade but didn't work very well as I think I followed the wrong procedure. But the issues I was having were with a wipe and reinstall following all the steps in the manual plus an undocumented one to install the keyboard patch for the S2 to make the keyboard work at all.
TheATHEiST ok will try reporting there next time, hopefully my post count will allow it by that time

I can confirm that I have followed all the procedures (flashed at least 20 differet roms by now) and can also confirm that I have been facing a laggard and slow responsiveness throught out the rom, with couple of FCs and lockups as well. At least thrice I had to force reboot. Also I have done an extensive search and the only thread I could see on the similar issue was this.
I am posting here because of same reason as OP as I have a low post count but I have been following xda for over 2 years now.
I know the obvious answer is to downgrade to 3.1.2 or not install RR at all. This is "just reporting", you know!
Thanks!
Hey, I am also experiencing the same thing as the OP and 7mojo. My S2 would randomly freeze and the only way to get it working is a hard reboot. It happens randomly but quite often, I would say atleast 3 times a day. I have done a full wipe and re-install but no luck. Like 7mojo said, I too have searched the web and the only thing relating to this issue is this thread. Anyone else having this problem? any solutions? I hope there is an update soon.

I've had similar problems.. am guessing its due to bugs in the unstable rom. Will have to wait for the dev to release an update. For the time being, better stick with 3.1.2.
As for me, I switched to JellyBAM. And then to CM10.1. And then to Omega.

Hi, I just recently came back to this forum, pleased to find that we now have CM10 working on Amaze ! (Thank you sportsstar!)
However I did have a couple issues when installing, and seeing as how a lot of people in the CM10 thread asked to redirect questions here, I figured I make a thread.
My problem is that it seems as though no matter what I install, there is always a problem. As far as I know, I am using the basic ICS-Ruby kernel that was dumped 6+ months ago. I installed the CM10 rom using 4EXT, with no issues.
However when I installed the Gapps (gapps-jb-20130301-signed) I constantly had the Android keyboard force close on me. So instead I tried to install the JB-4.2-Gapps-signed. With these, the Android keyboard would not force close but the Google Now search app would force close everytime.
I've also tried installing the DARK GLASS 0.6 ROM by jose, but then the wifi would not turn on. (When I would try to turn it on, it would just hang saying "Turning on Wifi").
It is probably worth mentioning that I did do a full wipe everytime I installed the CM10 rom. I was sure to be very thorough. When I installed DARK GLASS 0.6 ROM, again, I did a full format of partiitions, and a wipe. Still the issues above arise.
Can someone maybe help me out as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

EDIT: I just looked at my phone info, and apparently the kernel I'm using is 3.0.53-gd28c6eb. Is this okay or do I need to flash a new kernel ?
Hi.
I'm on my 2nd S3 now. First one suffered from the "sudden death syndrome".
My 2nd S3 has been perfectly fine bar the odd lock up. It's rooted and flashed with Supernexus by Faryab on v4.2.2
It has been freezing a lot lately, maybe 3 or 4 times a day but over the past few hours, it's now locked up approximately 20-30 times and I have to keep the power button pressed to reboot it. I've uninstalled any apps I have installed over the past few days. Booted into recovery and cleared cache and davlik cache (it's now saying Android is Upgrading upon every reboot). I can't even get time to backup my apps using Titanium Backup without it crashing.
What is going on anybody? Any help is much appreciated.
Try having a read of the freezing thread over in general.

Thanks. It appears my full microSD card was causing the problem. Cleared a few movies off it last night and it's not crashed since. Fingers crossed!

I guess i spoke too soon. More crashes again today
Did you do a full wipe including system format before installing the ROM? . It may be a data problem. Don't forget that 4.2.2 is also a beta firmware mate and not official like 4.1.2 so these things can happen. Also there are no custom kernels to flash to try and see if it's kernel based either.

Hey, yeah I did a full wipe including system format before I installed the new ROM. I've had this ROM for probably 3 months now and haven't had any problems with it up until the last few weeks. Infact 4.1.2 was killing my battery in a matter of hours. 4.2.2 ROM made me love my phone again as it fixed my battery woes!
This is so frustrating...
4.2.2 being a beta version can do this but re-installing can sometimes cure it though. Changing the kernel in 4.1.2 can give you better battery if you play around with a few and if course is more stable being an official release too. You can also try a different 4.2.2 ROM. They aren't all the same.
Thanks for the reply. Im not too comfortable/confident in changing kernels due to my lack of knowledge on them!
I do however like Faryabs ROMS as I like the original Android flavoured ROMS.
Will try a reinstall!

I have the exact same issue, I was running Faryaabs rom version M1, Android 4.2.2. And a couple of days ago, I noticed it started freezing, and I have to reboot with power button. Now I installed the leaked Touchwiz 4.2.2. but the freezing remains and it has started to be worse. As you mention, 20-30 times a day. I have noticed though, when I shutt of internet, both wifi and 3/4G I get less crashes. Have you noticed the same?
If you find a solution, please inform me to.
Cheers,
Niko

I think you may have found it
Wifi for example is controled by the kernel but there is no source codes released by Samsung so thats why there are no custom 4.2.2 kernels available for the S3 or you could flash one and most likely sort the problem out.
Its a shame cos there are for other phones on this version.
Hi dude
I went to the freezing thread here and found that the DFG method solved it all. So for anyone willing to try this please head over to that thread or just download the dummy file generator apps (2 in app store) although one is only necessary.
