[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimmehPS3:
Lite'ning ROM with rstopher's Red Theme.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sakzaki:
I tries most of the rom. But for battery life and stability, in my opinion, the best is so far the stock one (KH3 for the moment). I just apply some tweaks^^ (CRT, APN, Talk2, UAchange in browser...)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitroz:
Usually stock is best as it's default with nothing added. You add whatever you want to it. Good really.

revolution from leomar:D:D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ealax:
I recently got my SG S2, I replaced my beloved Xperia X10. This phone is a nice improvement, however I miss some stuff from the X10 like the led and the camera button :D

I just rooted my phone and I am lost in which ROM to install, My preferences are a stable full of gadgets and fast ROM

any suggestion?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitroz:
I'd probably go with Revolution ROM, he included a ROM Kitchen app in it so you can install whatever tweaks and themes you need.

If you're looking for pure stability then it's Cognition.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kersey:
Using DarkyRom KH3 with Supercore 1.6 kernel.

Great battery life, just the right amount of tweaks without over doing things and very stable
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitroz:
I've never used DarkyROM is it any good? Might consider flashing it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kersey:
I've tried many of the different roms but find the DarkyRom a keeper. It's very close to stock in looks and use but with a few tweaks :)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dividebyzero:
I've tried everything I can think of or find in this subject but I can't figure it out.

I'm getting FCs all over and seemingly randomly.

There's no one program doing it either.

I've used cyanogen 7 7/17 version with glitch kernel (both 11 and 12) and the v3 kernel. Maybe the stock but I don't remember.

Also flashed the dl09 or which ever radio was recommended for cm7 on the ROM list sticky.

Tried the nighties and am on not the recent one but the one right before it with stock and glitch 11 and 12. Also tried before and after v6 super charger which seemed to make my launcher before faster and without the stopped responding dialog.

I also use the ultimate kernel removing script between kernels.

Here's what I've already done to try to fix it:

Wipe big 3. fives it for awhile then starts up in force.

Wiped to stock 2 or 3 times. Still happens.

Fixed permissions. Works longest so far but still starts up again later.

Wipe cache and data in manage applications settings menu for creasing programs. Works for a while usually but then goes

back to crashing.

I followed ask instructions to install everything properly.

The only thing is that

do I need a special bootloader with nighties and stock kernel?

What am I missing here? It seems like it's related to wifi because I can keep things stable a little longer with wifi off but it is not always 100%. Definitely related to internet. Also seems like the cache reaches 2-3 megs when programs crash

browser seems to be more likely to crash. Will crash constantly and I'll open up Firefox or opera wends everything is peachy. I think neither ox those browsers crash from what I can tell.

Oh and could it be gapps somehow. I'm not sure but it might be a case built that all the crashing programs are gapps.

I've tried the new version 2.2.5 I think posted somewhere and the original 2.2.3 I think. I'm pretty sure they both crash.

I'm maybe to frustrated to see what's right in front of me and I maybe have forgotten an important detail so please forgive and I'll be happy to provide any info.

This is near perfect and that's the thing that's holding me back right now.

Anyone else have this happen to them? Any advise?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
How did you originally come to cm7..ie. What was your previous rom and kernel prior to making the switch?

What steps did you take to get to

mtd format?

And lastly I read your whole OP but am still unsure if you've tried Odin'ing a stock VZW official rom to start from scratch? (ie. Eb01,dl09, or ed05)

Edit: Also did you restore any apps or system data via titanium backup?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dividebyzero:
I've come to cm7 at least twice from a stock froyo ROM. I followed the directions in the sticky exactly. At least twice.

I did restore titanium but not from non-mtd. I reinstalled every app one by one after upgrading.

I'm thinking it might be the wrong gapps. If browser is a part of gapps, I'd betting on it then. It seems the fc's might all be related to

the various gapps.

That's the only thing that I can think if that I haven't tried.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
Here's the latest gapps.zip includes market...don't know if you've tried this oneand I don't think it contains anything for the browser, but i'm not sure...its for Mtd builds.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1191063

Edit: i'm also assuming you've ran fix permissions via cwm or terminal emulator right?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dividebyzero:
I'm making you assume a lot, sorry. Yeah. Did all that.

I'm trying to isolate it. I'm seeing that the force closings are maybe not so random.

It's the browser, google services framework and programs that I guess rely on browser. They are programs that access the http protocol. Reddit/f5, Chan browser etc. I've yet to have a program crash that was not accessing the internet like chuzzle.

Gmail does sometimes too.

Anyway, if they fc I go into manage applications and usually clear cache for the offending program Anne it works again until the cache gets up around 2 or 3 megs give or take.

I know people have been complaining about the data cutting in and out on this ROM so maybe that's involved.

I originally thought it was wifi because it seemed to only happen on wifi but i'm getting it on 3g but not as often.

I'm thinking that the data appears to be on but isn't and it's confusing programs but then there would be others with the problem. The other theory is that my cache space is fried.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dividebyzero:
In case someone finds this buried down here with the same issue, here's how I think I fixed it.

Wipe data again. Make sure you let the gapp installer install everything itself.

Titanium backup: restore missing apps (double check for went google apps) and data. Or hand install your apps and restore data.

I have the install location set to original.

That seemed to work even with the seeming wifi cut out and the whole thing.

I also didn't install Firefox or opera this time. That shouldn't be the problem but i'm recording it here anyway just in case.

Good luck

[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
Follow the link provided by sweetnsour above. Please note that ROM manager has some issues and I faced the same issue which you're facing. Use ROM manager only to flash the clockworkmod recovery. Once you've installed the recovery, you can do your backups/flashing from the recovery itself. And you can even uninstall ROM manager forever, as the recovery flashing is an one-time job. Its easier to use the recovery.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dr.notor:
It does the same even on recovery install; have commented on this numerous times. Broken by design.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
Oh I didn't know that coz the first time I installed the recovery, it was successful and after that when I faced the issue with backing up the ROM, I kicked ROM manager into the trash can and never used it :D

Hi

Can I flash bedwa oc/uv kernel ?

Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dirtymindedx:
Wow installed and working nicely
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Should be able to - it's compatible with Infused v2 and Hellraiser ROMs, and I'm fairly certain that Mikey "pre-integrated" Hellraiser for us to create this ROM.

Worst case if it doesn't work, you can heimdall/odin the kernel from Mikey's zip.

There might be some bugs in how our kernel handles Low Power Mode (e.g. normally when you plug in a charger, that battery icon comes up). I know the Cyanogenmod kernels had issues with LPM.

And the "first call no audio after boot" bug is common to anything derived from Hellraiser.

No. But themes for the i9000/Captivate S7 variants will likely work with the Infuse variant. Be ready to go back to CWM and wipe/reflash if it goes badly though.

I have flashed three times now. Wipe data/ factory reset & wipe davlik in red cw recovery.

I messed with APN setting to at&t defaut and waited still no network data.

I was on infused 2.5 and when I flash that back I get data. Any suggestions would be very helpful!

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Do you hear any sounds coming from the phone? Might be a Voodoo Lagfix conversion happening.

Not if he's flashing from stock - the Voodoo Lagfix conversion can take a while.

No, we don't have the hardware. I do wonder if the tvout stuff in i9000 userland stack might play nice with the HDMI output bits in the kernel though... hmmmmmm...

Edit: Tried it, failed.

That's not a problem at all. That's 100% normal behavior for all 3G phones - HSPA is only used when there is active data transfer. Stock ROM lies to you and reports everything as HSPA+ regardless of what it's actually doing.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] ReconRob:
Love it so far. Since I appear to be linear in thinking, My first problem after installling, was gmail. One of the softkeys (don't ask me which one, could not pin it down). But suddenly (pulling it out of my pocket) gmail would spawn but would not do anything. When I would open it from the app list, it would just fc.

To make a long story short, I reflashed and it worked fine. Sooo, I would recommend simply reflashing and see if that doesn't fix any problem you might be having before bothering Mikey with an issue.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hegemytouch:

Just wanted to say that this rom is running great so far, but I have found one issue. When I go to restore my sms messages from any SMS backup app, the timestamps on messages are messed up. :(

With the sms backup file that I restore, the sms' that I send to another person, the time and dates are correct, BUT any sms' that are sent to me instead show the date at which they were restored, IE today's time and date.

I've restore the same sms backup file on the Infused rom several times and the time and date and the order in which the messages were sent and received are all correct, but on Serendipity when restored all my sms' sent are at the top with the correct date and all the sms' received are listed at the bottom with today's time. So not only are dates wrong, but the order of the conversation is screwed up too. Is there anyway to fix this? :confused:
