Possible source of instability

So, I have seen a few people say their system got unstable after a few days use...I am curious on something. It seems to me, I have had this problem as well, and I think it happens after I update apps. I wonder if there is a caching problem?

When I do a bunch of market updates, I have seen my system get unstable, fc's, etc. I do a reboot, and clear the caches (/cache and dalvik, not sure which is most important), and that seems to bring stability back.

When you guys are getting instability after a few days of everything fine, do you remember, is it happening shortly after you have updated apps from the market?

I think I might just get in the habit of updating apps from the market once every couple of weeks, and when I do, clearing the caches at the same time.

Thoughts on this, anyone?

Inc, just a question about the flashable rosie mod and the warm theme. When I flashed to disable landscape rosie, it did but set the launcher back to stock. Not a huge deal, but not as smooth looking as themed.

Is there another landscape disabling mod specific to warm theme somewhere?

Great job guys... can't wait to see what's in store for future releases... nightlies yes/no?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] DustinBooyah:
X2, I just searched this thread and the EVO thread and didn't find one that worked with the Warm theme... I also tried installing them in reverse order as well.

I'm currently hunting for a way to disable landscape manually. Doing it in settings pretty much doesn't allow me to have a landscape keyboard so.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mulsifer:
Random reboots started today. I will give this a try.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nfiniti9:
Why yes, mine became unstable after updating Launcher Pro. I thought it was more of an issue with LP but who knows. I gave up on Synergy. None of the RC or RLS will stay stable. Oddly enough I had a nightly stable for weeks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] YamiYaiba:
I'll have to see if this fixes my problem. My phone is across the room and I'm too lazy to go get it lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] incubus26jc:
try this one for warm theme.. it should work.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] incubus26jc:
this is weird. i have never had an issue with stability.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nfiniti9:
Man I wish it would stay stable. It just seems after a few weeks weird stuff will start happening. I think I'm going to give it another shot and limit the apps I put on there to see what happens.

edit.. also do you reboot often? I never reboot or power my phone down until I install something new or it has a problem.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DustinBooyah:
This could be app related... there was an incident I had with with Zedge where the cache was building, building, and building. I put the SD into my computer so I could format it, and as I was removing the stuff I wanted I found Zedge to be the culprit. I got rid of the app and I was stable again.

I never found Synergy to be unstable, honestly nothing was ever out of the ordinary. I had the 3D version too, it worked well enough to be my Nandroid.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DustinBooyah:
Works great sir, thank you so much!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Crossxcalibur:
I've tried a couple of times flashing the warm theme but both times my phone gets stuck at the boot load screen. I do the customary wiping but cannot get anywhere past the boot screen.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DustinBooyah:
You don't have to wipe anything to flash the theme you just flash it after you flash (& boot) the rom
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Superguy:
I flashed on Saturday, no Warm theme. Things seemed fine until today. I started getting tons of FC's in multiple apps. Pretty bad timing as i was traveling today.

Started with the Continenal Airlines app. Then Facebook. Then Dolphin. Then Messaging. The Google Voice. Etc. Only thing that made it somewhat better was completely powering off my phone and rebooting.

I like it a lot better compared to RC2. However, the FC's are an issue.

Thanks,

Super
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tribbey:
go into either rom manager or recovery and "fix permissions" its under advanced in recovery and see if that fixs your problem

Flashed it on the 5th and it was flawless in every way. Install went perfectly and really enjoyed using it. Yesterday the 8th, everything started getting unstable with many fc's and lockups, resets, and general sluggishness. Restored Skyraider 4.2 which is probably the only ROM I've ever used that has been flawless. Miss the lockscreen and some of the new widgets. Synergy was unable to download the "Harmony Remote" app from the market for my new Logitech Revue and that bummed me out. It wasn't showing up in the market (BTW...LOVED the new market. Why isn't it rolling out?) and when I tried to install it from the market on-line it said the phone wasn't supported, yet when I restored Skyraider the app was right there in the market and it is an unbelievable app if you have an Android and Google TV.

Thank you though Synergy Devs...you certainly have a lot going right with this, but the time wasn't right yet for me personally. I'll be thrilled to try again anytime.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DustinBooyah:
Mine is smooth as silk and it's been DAYS. It has to be a combination of an app and the ROM.

When Zedge gave me that cache leak or whatever it was, I had WarmZ. My gf's phone was bone stock though and her Zedge never gave her any problems.

You can try to narrow it down by copying ALL the contents of the SD card to a computer and seeing if the transfer bogs down... if it does then you just leave whatever folder it was that bogged it down out and put everything else back.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] funone46:
So far 3 days and running ok. A little lag on wake up and only a couple of fc's. Just did fix permissons and seams better. Flashed warm theme, then flashed dark steel rosie and red battery mod over top and works nice.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] andrewxu:
Thanks so much!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kzoodroid:
I reboot a couple times a day as I download a lot of music and have to reboot to refresh the music cache.

This exact same discussion has occured over on the CM7 thread about force closes and instability. There are 3 main causes being discussed.

One there are stability issues with android 2.3.3 which are well documented and supposedly fixed in 2.3.4, the stability issues supposedly affect all ROMs but not every phone the same way. Some could go weeks without a reboot others only a day or less. The best solution is to reboot daily.

Two, some of these issues are caused by all the mods, scripts and or themes that are being flashed or added to the ROMs by people. If you theme a ROM you can't just flash a fresh copy over it you have to do a full wipe as some themes make changes in the framework that aren't removed when flashing, only a full factory restore removes them. With CM7 I would make a backup of the ROM before I installed a theme then when an update came out I had to restore the backup before I could flash the update, otherwise I had to do a full wipe.

Third, people are restoring system data/system app data with titanium backup or other backup apps. The only data that is safe to restore is user app data and some people do not recommend even restoring that. I personally only restore my music playlists and sms and phone logs. The rest either store their data on the sdcard or I have to re-enter it manually.

I've stuck to these three conditions on all ROMs that I use and I rarely have problems. With this ROM I've used it since Friday, 5 days now, without issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Superguy:
Thanks. I'll try that after work.

Comparison

I am just wondering if there is a comparison between Nils business gingersense and synergy. Nils is working pretty nicely but i like all of the mods for synergy.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
nils is the most stable one i've seen by far. also has mms over wifi, something the rest don't. if you want stability that's guarenteed, do nils. perfect daily driver.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] LlirasChosen:
So I'm loving RLS1, Team Synergy is just amazing! I wanted to flash one of the splash screens onto my phone when I realized after about an hour of tinkering that the thread is for the EVO variant....kind of annoying since I couldn't understand why it wasn't just flashing like everything else. Could you update the Mods Post Incubus so we know which mods are for which variant, especially if their flash based?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ZealotOnAStick:
This. A thousand times this.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zoomy942:
So i searched first...

how do i install this hoot .92 thing? I have the AMOLED version
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ZealotOnAStick:
I did Bad . . . but so far, it seems OK!

First, a preface. I got back Tuesday morning (around 1 a.m. Central time) from GenCon Indy. I ended up coming out of the convention with some nasty variant of Con Crud. I'm very sick, and also somewhat heavily medicated right now with a variety of both prescription and over-the-counter medications (all on Doctor's advice). So, that's the reason for my loopiness.

I checked xda-dev for the first time in 9 days today at work, and saw that RLS1 was out. I downloaded it, later transferred it to my MicroSDHC card. At home, I went through the motions to prep to flash a new ROM. Booted into CWM, did a backup . . . and then, totally out of it, flashed RLS1. Didn't wipe cache, data, anything.

It booted, maybe taking -slightly- longer than a reboot before. Everything seems just fine, thus far. Phone works, SMS works, I haven't had anything "weird" crop up. All my apps and settings seem to be there. I did try changing the camera storage back to "Phone Storage" instead of SD Card, and that didn't work - but I'm not horribly surprised since I didn't do the normal wipes. Saving to SD Card hasn't seemed a liability anyway.

What floors me, is that RLS1 seems so fast and zippy compared to RC2. Some very noticeable improvements in overall feel of speed and responsiveness.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
idk how everyone is seeing such a speed increase from RC2 to RLS1. they're exactly the same for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shawnshawn90:
Incubus will any mods make rls 1 use the carousel?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
There are two mirrors posted from two different users, search the thread.

Download hboot .92 from http://dougpiston.com/ and follow the directions.

1) make sure your sd card is formatted Fat32

2) place the zip onto root of your sd card

3) name the zip file: PB31IMG

4) boot into hboot and update once prompted
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jmolek28:
Go into a terminal emulator or adb shell and type

# su

# chmod 666 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/*

Then reboot, should fix your problem.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tlegower:
For me, it's because RC2 was slow, choppy and full of FCs on my phone...at least after a day or so of running it. However, RLS1 isn't like that at all. I have none of those issues. You probably had a more successful install of RC2 than I did.

RecentApps List Remover

Well, I originally thought it was going to be an easy mod :rolleyes: and it was pretty easy....

It turned out to be about 12+ hours worth of trial and error until I learned what I was doing. Then it was only a 5min fix! I am new to themeing, xml's, and still foreign to smali :D but I was intent on learning and finally got it working!!!

Here is a flashable .zip of the Synergy RLS1 stock SystemUI.apk with the recent apps list in the notification area removed.

This .zip will also wipe dalvik cache automatically when you flash.

If you have flashed a theme prior, this will break, most, if not all of, that theme.

This took me a lot of time, learning, and dedication to Android to accomplish so please hit the thanks button if you use this :D

And make sure to give your thanks to Team Synergy for this awesome rom!

EDIT: Just added a metamorph that will only effect the needed files and should keep all themes intact. I haven't had time to test it as I have already removed it in my theme, and I'm on my lunch break, so all was done on my phone :) Please let me know if anyone has any problems with this. Thanks!

EDIT2:Swapping the metamorph with a flashable zip for the warm theme. I have some testing to do on the metamorph to see why it's giving me bootloops :confused: sigh... sorry might be a day or 2 before I can get to the metamorph back up.

I finally know what broke my data connection as i described in earlier posts. It was epst (##778#) I went into it to change my slot cycle index and when i went to commit changes it said sucessfull and that it would reboot in 10 secs or i could press ok so i pressed ok and it fcd and went back to dial pad it also killed my data and voice. So i reebooted and when it came up my data was 1x then 3g then out compleetly. There appears to be some sort of issue with epst at least with synergy rls1. Can anyone confirm that their data broke after using##778#? Or that when comiting changes in epst that it does not auto reboot like it should? I actually tried this twice after the first time i did fix mentioned earlier and then tried epst again and it broke data again so im pretty sure its not a isolated incident.

Will this mod eliminate the occasional notification pulldown lag?

Sent from my Droid Incredible using the XDA app.

div, probably not. that's a problem with the new sense mixed with gingerbread...i don't think any dev is ever gonna be able to fix that sadly :\
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jayochs:
hey, update on the recent apps mod..it doesn't work :-( at first it worked, but a few apps in and the recent apps area is back, but it's blank...there's no apps there at all...but the space for recent apps is there. back to the trial and error?

edit, actually, it shows up in LANDSCAPE. but not portrait. hmm?

uh update again...seems as if xda app is the only app where it's there in landscape lol the other apps don't have it. wtf?

upon further inspection, it seems as if it shows up randomly now, even in portrait. i guess this fix doesn't really work too well ? sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not.hmm..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Therev29:
I'll take a look at it when I get home. It seems I may have missed a value for the bar in landscape. Thanks for the feedback!

It seems the bar only is showing up in landscape then if it rotates to portrait it shows up until the notifications is closed, then it goes away. I'm pretty sure I know exactly what to fix.

Been running RLS1 for six days now, still smooth as butta! Love this rom

Haven't used Titanium, only restored apps via market, updated a few, still good to go so far.

I have been using RLS1 since it was released and havent had any issues. But the other day I kept getting alot (and i mean ALOT) of com.android.phone fc's. I cant make calls, send texts, or use mobile data. after thinking about it a little i noticed it seemed to be happening when i started using Faceniff. Ive had installed for a while and have used it before with no issues. After uninstalling Faceniff this issue seems to not happen as often but im still having some signal losses.

Been running this ROM for a few days. Best Sense 3.0/ 2.1 ROM yet. I like the layout, the customization, and the performance. Sometimes the lock screen is laggy on initial start up, but no biggy. My only real issue is battery. Before I was running Incredibly re-engineered 2.4 and had great battery life, but I also had Heyitslou #8 kernel that balanced battery and performance well. Now so far I've been seeing that no Custom Kernels can be used with this ROM. Is that true? When Custom Kernels can be used will heyitslou # 8 be compatible? Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SpartanG087:
never? I hope not. That might be a deal breaker. My syncing I toned down a bit, but I didn't have to do that with my last ROM/Kernel. Hopefully the battery will calibrate soon.

I am experiencing huge flakiness with my 3G and 1X edge connectivity.

It was working great with RC1/RC2 but after loading RLS1 it connects only 10% of the time. (thank god for WiFi)

(I did a full wipe w/ newest CWM and only a handful of limited (data only, no apps) restores from TI for user apps.)

I tried *#*#4636#*#* to turn off the radio and reboot as suggested earlier (I was using airplane mode extensively, but not anymore) but it only occasionally helped.

(I have no idea what EPST ##778# is and have never used it. :o )

Q1- Are there any other fixes I can try?

Q2- What radio is recommended by this ROM. I did not find it on the initial page. I am not sure I have ever updated it. I have "Baseband Version: Radio-2.15.00.07.28" (I have downloaded but not installed 2.15.00.11.19, 2.15.10.05.02 and 2.15.10.05.06 so I am ready! :D

Q3- Do I install this radio update just like I did HBOOT .92? (My n00b question of the day)

Huge props to all of Team Synergy and this community is truly awesome!

Is this ROM capable of doing that and I just haven't sound the correct setting for it? Any help is appreciated.
