Hello!
I have been encountering this problem for about 1 month now, but have not decided to fix it before since I mostly rely on my tablet, but it got pretty annoying now, since I often cannot be contacted because of it.
So the problem is that my phone freezes at random times. Sometimes just a minute after I reboot, sometimes it works for a while and then freezes.
I thought it might be a software problem, so I went ahead and installed a new rom (I went with Temasek's CM build), but the problems persisted. However, I noticed, since I used the phone for a while without GAPPS, due to having problems installing it, it worked fine at that time. Now that I have installed GAPPS however, the phone is freezing again.
I also tried removing my external SD card and it does not help.
I do not have much experience with mobile hardware, but could this be a problem with faulty RAM or internal storage? If so, what can be done?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Try a full Mega wipe look here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/tool-mega-wipesuper-wipefactory-t1832326 << Warning this is not a normal wipe make sure you read the thread and have a backup rom on your external sd card ready to flash after wiping

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?
Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
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.
So the other day i flashed a new ROM i forget which one (flashaholic)
Anyway when it loaded the initial setup enter gmail etc.
The screen started flickering then turned off it done this each time i turned the screen on
I rebooted it done the same again
After i eventually got it setup it stopped
I have since flashed several other roms Dual boot etc.
Some of these roms i have used before with no problems BUT
Now the roms seem to run fine for the better part but become unresponsive for a few seconds when installing apps from market
I use go backup and phone screen has turned of in the middle of restore several time with several roms and wont come back on unless i reboot
I have tried alternative backup restore apps with the same outcome
It seems my internal memory has suffered some sort of problem as these problems only seem to occur when the internal memory is being written to
For the record i use superwipe script before each rom install
Anyone else experience anything like this
The short "stuttering" when installing an app from Play Store also happens to me, but well not really a big deal.
Did you try to flash a stock rom and stock kernel to start with? In addition maybe a mega wipe would also help to format all partitions (except the important once of course).
I believe it is the megawipe script i am using the problem persists when apps are updating phone becomes unresponsive
It reminds me of my HD2 days when the system was installed on both the internal and external memory

Likewise over the last few versions of JB #Especially on multiple installs .
Same on Note 10.1 so it looks like a Google problem .

Hello i got Omega v44.3JB 4.2.1 on my I9300 and my applications (games/maps/navigation/gallery ...) are sometimes crashing because low memory (Even when i checked my memory status i can see 650MB+- / 828MB and still it crash because memory.) or just without any error message. I'm using omega rom since october i was happy with this, but this problem is really bad. I did whole sd format/factory reset/cache deleted and etc. and installed it by twrp and from external sd card, everything is fine, "just" that crashing apps.
Can somebody help me, cause i tried to search same issue, but nobody got that?

I had the same problem with apps crashing. The system iu crashes every few hours. I ended up going back to MIUI for now.
Hi,
[Sorry for the long post, but please, bear with me. This issue needs a lot of explaining...]
It's been a few weeks since I have been experiencing this weird problem with my phone. It started when one day I picked up my phone and saw that process.android.gapps had stopped. So I did what everyone does and cleared the cache, wiped the data, but still nothing happened. I went over and cleared it for play services too and that reset my google account (no idea why) and everything came back to normal. Or as I thought it did. A few days later, I again had the same problem in front of me, except that it was not just gapps this time, it was a ****load of a few more apps, including process.???.acore, all giving ANRs. Plus my google account got erased somehow so play store won't login and all other unnecessary stuff.
So I got frustrated and went over to the recovery and tried to factory reset. And this is where I realized something. IT DIDN'T HELP! The phone started as normal and I saw the startup screen. But as soon as I started entering my details, all the ANRs came back simultaneously.
So I did a lot of other stuff to rectify this, all in vain. Skip to 8 hours later. This is where I realized, some of the apps in /data/data had got corrupted and hence nothing was happening. Also, formatting /data resulted in an error, which I HAVE NO IDEA WHY TILL DATE.
So I did a workaround and renamed /data to something so that the android OS could create a new /data, which IT DID on the next reboot! And all was working fine again.
FOR A FEW HOURS.
Again the same ANR, same everything, no access to /data to format it etc etc.
Again renamed and rebooted and reinstalled Blisspop and gapps and everything.
And this has been the scene ever since.
What aggravates the situation?
A REBOOT
Whenever I reboot my phone, be it soft or hard, It corrupts some or the other app in /data. If I'm lucky it's a non essential app. If not, xx.xx.xx has crashed and the phone is unusable. I usually use ES and try to rename for the non essential apps (as deletion isn't possible), but for the essential ones, a reflash with whole /data/data renaming has to be done.
So basically this is the problem. I have no idea why my /data/data corrupts randomly, or whenever I restart. Could it be because I greenify apps? I stopped using deep hiberation but still this occurs. Or could it be a failing internal memory?
Please Help! I am just frustrated. Might go over to G3 soon if this doesn't work out.

I think it would be painfull to pinpoint what is screwed on your phone. If i were you,i would flash stock firmware and start from the beggining.

Yeah I guess that's what I'll do finally.
Although I'm still gonna try for a few more days to find something out If I can.
I'll post an update here if I do, in-case someone runs into the same problem as me and needs to find a solution later on.
UPDATE 1 - Okay so I reflashed everything to start over (everything same as before, no downgrading) and I think I may have found a solution. So rebooting the system corrupts /data right? Well, I tried powering off and starting instead of rebooting and that seems to work pretty well. No ANRs even after doing this more than 20 times. [NO IDEA WHY, but hey, it works, so good enough]
Although, I had greenify disabled.
Now, I'll try with it enabled and post an update soon.
I've been experiencing random freezes that kick in about two or three days after installing a new custom ROM. Freezes occur, followed by FC prompts, which can be "Wait"ed and the app works again, but after a day or two of use, it just becomes painful waiting for the apps to resume or phone to wake up.
In the course of backing-up I've noticed that TWRP Nandroid backups are running into read errors (code 255). These can be fixed by going through the recovery.log and deleting the files that cause errors and rerunning the backup, repeating until all the corrupted files have been deleted. The phone also runs better after these files have been deleted, but it eventually happens again until the phone is almost useless. What is feels like, is old-time Wintel bad hard drive sector errors and it looks like it too when you see these read errors in TWRP, but everyone assures me Nand/Flash drives don't work like that...are there any other possible hardware issues?
The trouble began after I installed the final Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 (5.8.4 bluetooth didn't work properly). I've now tried also Nougat versions of Resurrection, Lineage and Carbon. Can't bear going back to MM but it might be the only solution.
I've followed installation instructions to the T, installing stock ROMs with Flashtool and then installing ROMs as described in OPs. I've tried both Magisk 14 and SuperSU. I've avoided rooting at all. I've Formatted (rather than Wiped in TWRP) everything except the external SD card. I've restored apps through Titanium. I've fresh installed apps from the market. Nothing works. I haven't tried not installing anything but what's the point of a phone with no apps??
I've followed some solutions posted by others with the same problem but not everyone describes their problem all that well but I still run into the issue. BUT, I keep seeing threads that die and no one says they fixed their issue - common but I'm thinking they gave up.
I haven't tried MM, but I might try Oreo first, if it's stable enough to run. Support in ROM forums is pretty thin though nowadays... (check my other posts).
Anyone got thoughts on how changing kernels might help, and which kernel to use for Nougat?
