Hello All!
I looking for some advice what rom to use. No need to be fancy, just something that is working fine and stable, still fast after a few months of usage.
I'm using "B396_Reloaded [magisk][Xposed][microG] " right now but quite unsatisfied with it.
I had been using it for about 2 months, but today I had to factory reset, because I was getting random reboots and could not wake from screen off, could not install/uninstall anything.
After reset, still having issues with new ROM(SuperSU not working, Playstore acting wierd when installing apps), so I think it's time for a change.
What ROM could you recommend?
Thanks!

Hi,
I recently installed Ultima 4 on my X10... and i really like it... smooth and fast, and the most important very good battery usage. But i have a problem, it reboots by itself, frequently, like 5 or 6 times per day, without specific reason... some times while playing a video, other times when installing an application, and it's really annoying... And i'm wondering if anyone is having the same problem.
I flashed BB52, and then installed the ROM... Is there anything i should do to fix this?
Thank you
Fixed... I think. I installed FreeKernelmod351 for Froyo... and it's been almost 24 hours without any reboot
I've had my GS2 since launch and had Litening Rom pretty much weeks after that.
I've not flashed anything in the last 4/5 weeks but I keep getting the following problems
1. Black screen when waking phone up, soft keys light up and vibrate, so the phone is on but the screen is black. This is my main problem! Sometimes the status bar will show and is draggable but the rest of the screen is black. Sometimes the phone wont turn on and is quite hot. If I restart the phone I can do what I like but soon as I leave it for a few mins I cant get back on. It's also produced a black screen when the screen is on just by me touching the screen.
Its not overclocked it running stock voltages, I unistalled Go launcher and various other apps, I've restored it to a month old back up which I've used before with no problems, this gave me lots of FC's which I sorted but the black screen problem and not being able to get the phone back on without restarting is still present... I've tried re-flasing Litening Rom, I've tried a different kernel and I've wipe all data/factory reset etc etc...
Can anyone help?
Your best bet is to go completely back to a stock ROM ensuring everything really is wiped/factory reset, don't restore anything at all and see if you still have problems. If you're unable/unwilling to do that, you're probably best posting in the Lite'ning thread.
Is all support gone from Litening Rom thread? It think you can get more help over there.
I was too slow.
I don't think it's the rom. It's been stable at 6.1 for months.

Fantastic. Well I wish you good luck troubleshooting then.
I'm not ignoring your advice, I will try restoring the stock rom.
how many apps installed? I have this kind of black screen problem since 2.3.5. It is caused by having more than 300+ apps.
Never had that many, did a full wipe so I only have stock apps at the minute.
hey folks,
i have encountered an annoying problem that has made using the s2 quite an unpleasant experience recently.
I bought my s2 about 4 months ago. after 2 weeks or so i switched to miui (galnet) and have stuck to miui ever since. later i switched to langthangs releases as well as siyahs kernels (loving both, major props to them).
around mid of december, my phone suddenly started to crash. up till then i had a couple of freezes here n there, maybe once or twice a months. but since then, even though i did not change anything, my phone has been crashing more often, like 5-10 times a week. updating kernel and rom didnt help.
i experience two types of crashes:
a) freeze: phone just stops working. i have to take out the battery to reboot
b) reboots: phone just reboots out of the blue. sometimes it reboots 3-4 times in a row, like after the first reboot the phone does nothing for 2-3 minutes, then reboots again and so on
i am not sure if that helps, but most of the time the freezes occur while using the internet, the market and playing games. reboots occur randomly, even if the phone is not used at all.
i haven't done any overclocking, just undervolting using voltage control. but i had been using the reduced voltages for weeks, long before the crashes started to occur. and yes, i did try switching back to the stock voltages.
i may have dropped my phone a couple of times, but none of the drops was really bad as it has no scratches or dents.
Anyone else having the same experience?
Is there a way to check if -maybe- the ram/rom is defect? If nothing helps, i think i ll have to flash a stock rom and submit a warranty claim
I would go on a limb saying its MIUI's fault. Wich version of Syiah are you using? Try to reflash different version, I found that 2.6.2 is stable. Also the new one 2.6.6 wich I'm currently testing is stable to, other ones were kinda buggy.
Also are you undervolting or UC'ing ?
If all else fails flash different ROM, after testing many of them I found the latest Criskelo to be stable as a rock.
The only way to really tell is to flash back to a stock rom and see if the freezes/reboots still occur...

well, i have tried different roms. and yeah, i am undervolting and underclocking (200-1000).
but isnt it strange? i have been using miui for months without any problems, and baaam ... suddenly the phone starts crashing? i mean at the time the freezes and reboots started to occur, i had been using the same system (kernel,rom,setting,apps) for weeks without any problems.
i ll try going back to stock. if that doesnt help, ill send it in.
btw. i have flash stock via odin, will the exclamation mark during the bootup process vanish?

Yep, hence you flashed original firmware the dredded(by some) yellow triangle will dissapear.
It will reapear as soon as you root your device.
that last sentence was supposed to be "if i flash stock via odin ..."
ok. ill try that and report back.
BUT
if flashing a stock rom helps, the problems much likely lies with the custom rom. but if so, why did they work perfectly fine until recently?
i may have dropped my phone a couple of times, but none of the drops was really bad as it has no scratches or dents.
Logic says that is the answer .
jje
u think so?
the phone just slipped out of my hand a couple of times, but it never fell on the floor (lets say 30cm or more).
and why would sth like that cause freezes like that? i mean my sisters ace has a totally shattered glass and its still working perfectly fine.
anyway, backing up all my stuff and trying a stock rom tmr
A couple of months ago I installed the AOKP ICS rom Then JB and found it about as good as you could want, but this is not about how good the rom is. I have been flashing a couple of years and know enough to get by. As much as I loved the rom i was almost ready to flash back to stock because I was unable to get any battery life. I would always use at least 8% at night and up to 15% during the day. I just couldn't understand how so many people were saying they were getting great battery life. I went through all the posts and tried every option i could find, watching wakelocks every time I picked up the phone, changing my router settings, turning off everything on the phone that made it a great phone. When I originally installed ICS I did a total factory reset, cleared all cashes. Spent hours reading everything I could find about battery life problems. When i flashed JB it was the same thing. I have been flashing the updates every week. Clearing everything every time.
Last night i was about done and figured I would try this one more time. I downloaded the rom and Gapps again, but this time i did a factory reset 3 times and cleared the cashes 3 times. Then when the system was installed I downloaded clean apps from the the Play store. I installed everything normal, all sync settings on, the phone is set up just like you would want it with full functional apps. This morning I woke up and checked the battery and it was down 2% for 5hrs! That is the best I have ever seen and I think about all you could ask for. The history had no wake locks, No awake times when the phone was sleeping. Now at 10 hrs and and 5 hrs of lite use I am at 82% and still no wake locks or anything unexpected by any apps like I always had before. Google Now is running, sync is on, like I said the phone is set up normal not everything shut off.
I am not saying that you need to clear everything 3 , 4 or 10 times when you flash a rom or not use TI to restore your Apps. What I am saying is, if after flashing a rom you are not getting good battery life or you are having any strange lock ups with your phone THEN start from scratch and make sure every app on your phone is perfect. BTW my phone was getting terrible battery life but working as smooth as butter all the time. I didint have to wait 3 battery cycles to get get 10 hrs out of my phone, it worked as I said from the start. If you phone isn't doing as good as other people are and your not expecting to get 2 days with 10 hrs of screen time, Clean out everything and start over, esp on a Rom like AOKP, these phones should work GREAT and it only takes one bad app to kill things.
So listen to the developers and clean house if things aren't right !!!!!!! It takes more time at first but over the last 2 months I have spent about 10 times more trying to fix the phone.
Do some of you other users get 8+ hours of screen on time? I got my i777 around launch time and I don't think I have seen over 4hrs of screen on time. I have tried a lot of different ROMs, like aokp, shoshock2, and currently cm10, and my general consensus is 3+ hours is good.

Never seen 8 hours with stock battery. Max I have gotten is 5 and a half. I could probably get more on Shostock but I was on AOKP JB
I'm going to have to do this tonight. I'm really not looking forward to it though because I've been trying to unlock things in Fruit Ninja but I want to get this thing working right so that's how it goes.

Just back up data
im going to try this, i was using the wipe 3 or 4 times method when i had a sony x10 phone a year ago and it seemed to make a difference.
aokp is a really great rom and on the previous version my phone could last a full 24 hours (about 9 of those hours probbaly not really any use)
latest version the battery is a bit trippy for me so im going to try this and i wont be surprised if this is all true.
thanks!
Just an update. 16 hrs, 1 hr screen 69% battery left.
To SteveO I would not restore any apps you have with a backup. If you do the complete wipe it seems that the Play store actually downloaded all the Apps fresh on its own. I think that may have something to do with really getting a clean plate. I have wiped many times and only one other time did the Play store auto load my apps.
I also recommend wiping internal and external storage everynow and then. Backup pics, music and the such

I had a feeling that's what you meant, to NOT restore a back up.
As for the "auto load" from the Play store, are you referring to when it asks you on start up if I want to restore my apps from Google Play you're suggesting I say yes, correct? Is that what you did?
I was planning on making a list of what's on my phone now and manually downloading each one and installing.

So what's the point here?
In order to get great (or better in this case) battery life of AOKP, do
1. wipe 3 times
2. install and run one of the clean app from Google Play. Which app, actually?
For some reason, I "feel" that after performing TB backups (user data backups), the battery life gets worse.
There really isnt any "point". I was just letting others know what i did to GREATLY increase my battery life. I dont think it has anything to dowith this ROM. I think if you flash any Rom and your not happy with the Battery life it may be a bad apk that doesnt get cleaned out with the normal route.
I advise installing ALL your apps clean, not any one.
I mentioned that the PLAY store automatically offered to reinstall all my apps after this clean wipe. Other times i have flashed it didnt do this so it makes me think that for some reason something doesnt really get cleared as we think it should, again no expert, only telling what i found after about 20 Rom flashes over the last couple of years.

I just had a really good test of this procedure. My usb port crapped out so I returned my phone for a warranty replacement.
My old handset has been laggy since upgrading to Jelly Bean. I'd always restore apps through Tibu, only restored data on a few apps.
Fresh clean I777 stock Sammy, runs smooth on ICS.
Newly rooted, AOKP 11/9, basic GAPPS and the same Tibu restore => laggy.
So I factory reset, wiped everything including internal storage, let Play restore my apps, input all the app data manually, and this phone is smooth.

Hi! I've been reading this forum on and off for few years, but never actually posted. Hope someone here can help me sort out my issue, thanks in advance!
Basically, I've flashed a cm13 via custom recovery on my second phone - Xiaomi Mi4, and I'm having all sorts of issues with it. I bought the phone in China, and for a while
used the stock MIUI interface, but I hated all the bloated apps and weird pop-up advertising, so decided to flash. it was the first time i've attempted it, so it took some
time to figure it out
My two main issues with cm13:
1. It crashes and restarts two/three times daily for me. I mean, I've cleared cache, I basically have no apps on the phone (apart from few messaging apps and facebook).
Is it just because it's an early cm13 build, or it's a nature of custom roms? I'm wondering if switching to a snapshot cm12 build would be better? I don't really care for
android 6 features on this phone that much, I just want a stable experience.
2. The charging became uber slow, painfully so. On MIUI it'd charge to 100% in about 3 hours or so. On cm13 it takes 3-4 hours to get to 30-40%! Never seen anything like
this. Also, if the battery depletes to 0%, the phone wouldn't turn on, even plugged in for charging. It'd turn on after an hour or two into the charging process. Seems weird,
as every other android phone I've owned previously would turn on even with 0% battery if I'm plugged in.
Anyone else experience any of the listed issues? Is it just an early build, or I've done something wrong in the flashing process? I really just want a stable simple os, no advanced
features or whatever, just need it to work
Thanks!
I have been using latest nightly.. No issues no reboot.. Charging time is 3hr

Thanks for reply! Would you mind telling me which gaps you've used for your build? I remember I had some sort of an issue with few gaps
I tried, I think only the smallest package worked for me. Maybe that's the issue and something in the gaps i've installed freezing/rebooting my os?
Thanks
