Has anyone else experienced any hard freezes with this ROM? I started using absolution about 3 weeks ago, with updates to each version with full wipes and installs...

For some reason, every once in awhile my phone will just freeze (typically after I take it off the charger) with the screen off and the little notification light on. The only fix when it does this is to pull the battery.

Is there anything in the standard Absolution install that may cause this? UV/OC settings perhaps?

If not, is there an easy way for me to run some diagnostics? Perhaps it's a bad battery and I should try the stock ROM for a bit and see if it's a hardware issue?

I'd normally post this in a general Q&A, but I've never had this issue in all the ROMs I've used prior to Absolution.
[HTC Inspire 4G] oregrain:
I just flashed Absolution 2.0 and I'm having trouble with AbsolutionTools. I opened it, checked for updates, and then it froze. A pop-up asked me to force close, and afterward I no longer had AbsolutionTools. So I downloaded and installed it from the OTA, and now I have what appears to be an old version that doesn't have an option to look for updates.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gio22:
I'm not sure if any of the team has plans for that but feel free to try it yourself. That will allow you to theme it just the way you want it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gio22:
Beat me to an answer. Lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
Man, if I had the first clue I would have a loooooong time ago. :p

I can work on and fix puters and cars or root/rom a phone but have NO idea how to do anything like themeing(sp) etc.:o
[HTC Inspire 4G] gio22:
Can be frustrating and takes lots and lots of patience. If you ever get the itch to give it a try there are lots of good tutorials on XDA. However looks like Ras is going to give it a shot. He has made some killer swype themes in the past.
[HTC Inspire 4G] NunHugger:
I don't have the paid app. Buy it for me and I will theme it. ;)

[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
If yall can tell me which items from TiBu yall'd need, I'll pull em out of my backup and host em w/ a link via PM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] NunHugger:
I think I might be able to theme it from the free version, but you would have to do some file shuffling using 7zip when done. Only issue might be if there are xmls for text in the values folder, it might break the paid version. Not sure how the free and paid are different, but it may pose a problem. I don't use the keyboard personally, and can't justify buying it just to theme it for others.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
How do I go about purchasing it for you? Have you ever used it? It's a dadgum AWESOME keyboard!
[HTC Inspire 4G] jonny_dirt13:
I had problems with this also, tried ash's suggestions, to no avail. In 4ext I mounted system and re flashed. voila, orange transparent market.
[HTC Inspire 4G] scyr2355:
ok thank you
[HTC Inspire 4G] dsmitty166:
Added these instructions to the OTA, we will see if it helps...

Is anyone else experiencing gps randomly enabling/disabling itself? It has also gone into full geek mode requiring a reboot after wiping cache and dalvik.

[HTC Inspire 4G] dsmitty166:
Confirmed to work by myself!
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
Also. Not experiencing any of these. I have the wireless networks partbof GPS enabled for my weather app. The reboot I think was needed by some to fix an error here or there..
[HTC Inspire 4G] dsmitty166:
Sorry to say I've never experienced this...does it do it when you unplug the USB as well?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gio22:
I have also not experienced this. Great idea on the video. Allows us to see exactly what you mean.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
Yeah, it does it regardless of usb. I just had it connected because it was sucking battery at an alarming rate.

What would yall need to diagnose this?

I've been a wallflower since the first tpgb ROM, this is a great successor to it, glad to help. Thanks for all your work!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pick_A_Name:
I'm really loving this ROM. My one personal issue is with the animations. Is there a way to change the animations? This ROM is very fast, but the long animations slow everything down waiting for them to complete. If there was a normal transition animation that was shorter, it would really speed things up for my workflow. Not a deal breaker by any means, but thought I'd ask. Thanks for the great ROM and all the hard work!
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
You can use tthe app called spare parts included in the rom to adjust those.

I got your 10 char right here
[HTC Inspire 4G] lordpipa:
Yes but only restore the apps not the system data as it is not the same on sense and aosp. That certainly will screw things up. After you do this then use the other account as your primary and that's it, I guess, lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
http://db.tt/fn64H3g0 give it time to update. If you get the Fc window hit wait... Then it will finish. This goes for anything you download from it as well. Especially the ones that that say (be patient)...
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
That will always work on any ROM. Just NEVER restore system apps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
It is almost certainly oc/uv settings.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gflare:
Thanks rasroygbiv, but what confuses me is that I am using the standard settings upon flashing Absolution. Never did anything to adjust the oc/uv settings with beater2 or Absolution tools...

In the meantime, I think I'll just swap over to Talon VU-lite since that has been getting good stable feedback by quite a few users here.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
It should not do that out of the box. Call your warranty department.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gflare:
Yeah, that's what i figured... If it happens again i'll swap to stock GB and go the warranty route.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
Good luck! See you when you root the replacement! ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtalum:
That sounds like a UV issue to me. Try to back off the uv settings and see if that solves the problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] redwardson:
+1 on the UV recommendation
[HTC Inspire 4G] itechscs:
I'm having the same problem. I've tried all the kernels but the battery still drops 1% about every 3 to 4 minutes. I have radio 26.06.04.06_M and I've never changed it. The only widget I'm running is 3D flip clock. I'm running absolution 2.0_TD now and I did do a complete wipe when I flashed it. I saw absolution 2.0DHD_TD so I'm going to try and flash that since my phone is an inspire if that don't work then I'm lost.

OK I reflashed with the dhd version and its alot better. Im so glad because this rom is the best I've used so far.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chevyguy85:
Just wanted to say thanks for this awesome Rom. I couldn't tear myself away from using sense but finally forced myself to take the plunge with Absolution 1.5/1.6 and now I'm on 2.0. 2.0 is giving me insane battery life. I'm up to 32 hours on this charge and I'm at 23% battery left. Had to switch to the Lordmod kernel as the talon ace kept locking my phone up when I tried to UV it. I had a question but I forgot what it is so I just joined to say thanks for all the hard work y'all.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gio22:
Glad you are enjoying it. Lots of effort has gone into this ROM and your positive words are highly appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dustinharwood197:
Couple more Q's

ok if this has been answered already I apologize. I'm an OTR truck driver and don't get a WHOLE lot of time for leisure if ya know what I mean. Anyway. I'm trying to get a new boot animation to work. Following all of the steps, it says loaded successfully, then I still have the KITT animation! Wanna try a couple others, see what I like best. Cause if I am gonna take the time on this rom I want it setup how I want it setup lol. In the same vein as the previous one, I am also trying to gewt one of the splash screens to work and its not either. any help appreciated. Any yelling, not so much. Thanks in advance!

:)
[HTC Inspire 4G] heathroi:
Is there anyway to switch the battery number level off and just have a graphical level suspect half my problem might be too much information and having the screen on trying to correct is where the power is going.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
For the splash, put it on the root of your sd, make sure it is named PD98IMG.zip and flash it in bootloader. For the bootani, replace the one in data/media and reboot.

Office Apps don´t work

I love this new Absolution Rom but I have some problems. I can´t use my office apps (polaris office 3.0 or quickoffice). Could you help me please?

gluecke63
[HTC Inspire 4G] gio22:
What problems are you having? As much detail as possible is important. What version of Abso? Did you do a restore of the apps or did you do a fresh install?

I have no issues running Quick office.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gluecke63:
OK, I try to explane it but my english is bad.

I have a backup of quickoffice in titanum. after restoring it and try to open it, a screen turns on with "this program is for htc only" and than it the button "force close" is coming.

The other program makes the same.

Sorry, I forgot: I use Absolution 11/11/11 strange brew.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gio22:
This sounds like a bad flash. I would redownload the ROM flash file and reflash. Make sure you do a full wipe before you do to clear out anything that might be an issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gluecke63:
Thank you, i´ll try it.

gluecke63
[HTC Inspire 4G] itechscs:
I'm not sure if you can remove the percentage from the stock icon but you can go into the absolution app select batteries and download black ice. Two things before you flash tho, it changes all the icon in the notification bar both style and color.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
Btw, something might have been off the first flash. The desire and inspire roms are identical in regards to anything thing that would affect battery. At any rate, glad it is working well for you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] itechscs:
Its alot better but the battery drain is still there. The phone idle and cell stand by seem to be draining it. I got 14 hrs out of it this time but I turned off my data and wireless and lost about 40 percent overnight (about 7 hrs) I'm not sure what's going on but I really wanna keep running this rom because aside from the battery issues its perfect for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
It has to be app related. Download watchdog from the market and see what it tells you. Something has to be running in the background that is eating up battery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gio22:
I agree with Ras. This has to either be app related or a bad flash. Too many people, myself included, have had outstanding battery life for there to be a battery issue with the ROM as is.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gluecke63:
bad flash?

i made everthing new but i have the same problems.

quickoffice for htc and polaris don't work. sometimes the wifi don't work, sometimes the network. Is it a radio problem? I'm using 12.59.60.P_26.11.04.21_M.

Thanks for helping, gluecke63
[HTC Inspire 4G] gio22:
Try the recommended radio/ril that is in the OP. It is the 04.03_m radio. Are you using the kernel that flashes with Abso or do you flash another kernel?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gluecke63:
Thanks!

Where do I find this radio. I need the image file. The kernel I am using is the LORDMOD UE 8.0 BFS but the I am thinking the kernel is not the problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gio22:
You go to the following which is the radio thread for Inspire: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106324. This is the kind of thing you can easily search for by just looking. All the phones should have a thread like this in their respective development sections.

As to the kernel, it can be an issue with wifi if not flashed right.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
That is an older kernel too, which could cause some issues as well if you are on abso 2.0. I would recommend using the newest TalonAce or LordMod kernels in the cfs flavors.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gluecke63:
Damned! Nothing changes - same problems! I'm using the original kernel and the right radio.

What could I do?

gluecke63
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
Redownload the ROM, do a full wipe, flash again, don't change anything, and report back.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gio22:
I'm not sure what else to tell you. If you are doing a full wipe (including wiping system, dalvik, cache and factory reset), flashing the ROM, not changing the kernel, you should be able to run your apps. If that isn't the case, then there is another issue with your phone. Maybe another app that is interfering. Maybe a bad downloaded flash file, I don't really know at this point. You have given some information, but really besides the kernel, not much more. The more information we can get, the better we have a chance of helping.

Did you try this before flashing the older kernel and are you on version 2 of Abso? I don't remember the answer to the second part, sorry.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mralbino:
Didn't there used to be an option for Absolution where you could customize the status bar? Like move the clock into the middle of the status bar, battery to the left, etc. Could've sworn there was an option in the Absolution Tools app, now I don't see it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gluecke63:
I did it one hour ago with the same problems with quickoffice. Starting the app and it shows " for HTC devices only " and shut down. Now I try the new LORDMOD kernel 8.2 cfs and looking for the wifi and network.

thank you so much for helping me.

If I am having problems with wifi and network, I will post it.

gluecke63
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
No, you must have it confused with a different ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gio22:
My Quickoffice doesn't say "for HTC devices only." If it was a build.prop issue, which that sounds like, it shouldn't have even let you install the app or see it in the Market. However, unless you or someone else changed this file (I'm not accusing, just making an observation), then the build.prop would be registering the correct phone.

My concern is your issue when you switch kernels and you have issues with wifi. I know that if a kernel is flashed without all the other files needed, you won't have wifi. I'm starting to wonder if you have hardware issues.

One other thought. How do you get the flash files on your phone? If it is via the USB cable from your computer, it is possible the cable or the USB connector on the computer are faulty. I've seen that happen many times where it looks like all is good, but there is an issue with one of these that causes crazy problems. If you are downloading flash files directly to your phone, it is possible you have an SD card issue. I had that not too long ago where I had to reformat the SD card to get it working properly again.

Good luck!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
I was wondering what I can do about my lockscreen. The music controls only work for the music app preinstalled with the rom. I'm using doubletwist which comes with a music control lockscreen but the roms lockscreen likes to override this lockscreen sometimes. Also with the go launcher ex app and go locker combo. It will over ride the go lockers lock screen on occasion. So if I have music playing and go locker and this phones lockscreen I have to go through 3 lockscreens to get to my phone.

My question is. Any possibility to fix this issue. To disable the roms lockscreen. Or to make the native lockscreen that comes with the rom adapt to Google musics music control on the lockscreen? Or to disable its self when it detects another lock screen is present?

Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
Try disabling the lockscreen in the cyanogenmod settings and see if that fixes it for you...
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
Go to...settings/CM settings/lockscreen/widget options/ then un-check lockscreen music control

I got your 10 char right here
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
The option that disables it if I have a security screen lock?

I tried that earlier and it didn't do anything.

I also tried disabling the music controls and album art preview in the CM settings, but that didn't work either to issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:

HhhhHmmmmm
[HTC Inspire 4G] gluecke63:
@gio22

I have looked in the build.prop but I can't see an issue, because I don't know the line in this file to look at. I have seen many htc and ace words but where is the wrong entry:confused:

Could you help me please?
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
Well if you haven't done anything to the build prop then it shouldnt be wrong.....edit below.

I got your 10 char right here
[HTC Inspire 4G] gio22:
Unless you made the change originally, an issue won't be there. I was only trying to make the point that the error you mentioned sounded like someone changed the build.prop file on your phone specifically.

As a precaution, unless you absolutely know what you are doing with this file, DO NOT try to change anything or save it once it's open. If you do, you may mess up your phone. I didn't intend for you to go into the file and if you did, I really hope you didn't change anything.

So, since you are asking what to do, I'll just give friendly advice. Step away from the build.prop file and don't open it again.

Please folks, never do anything with your phone unless you know fully what you are doing. I cannot stress this enough. We have stated this before and apparently we need to continue stating this. Before you root, flash anything or make any edit changes, read about it first. Then read about it some more. And keep reading until you are comfortable with what you are doing. To go blindly in to do something is only a recipe for disaster.

So, please leave that file alone. It isn't your problem. You never answered my last questions about where the files come from that you flash, etc.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
This stands true in the theme world as well. Its not just a little Microsoft paint can get me what I want..

I have soft bricked a few times lately by things not carrying over well. You need to read it so many times, watch a tut if possible, read it again, and ASK QUESTIONS!!!! Pm's are a great tool. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
Well said my friend...

[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
Yes but this only works with the music player app that's built in which is like music 1.0. Some old version. If I use another music player i wont get album art and the controls tend to not work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
Try using PowerAmp fro. The market. That's what I use and a few of us do. It cost but sooooo worth it. No issues with lockscreen here.

I got your 10 char right here
[HTC Inspire 4G] gio22:
Used to use Doubletwist and moved to Power amp. Haven't looked back.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
Ugh I bought doubletwist for the airsync and to send my music out to my Xbox wirelessly. If poweramp does the same ill be mad at myself
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
OK.......i am updated to 2.0, talon ace, but i was experiencing a crazy drain to so switched to lord mod 8.1 cause it was the last one i had tried and it worked for me before.

still having the same issues with music player. skips/pops/clicks when entering the app if music is playing, when unlock or locking the device, manuevering through menus, and some random when not touching device, blah blah.

have tried 3 different headphones, same result.

didnt notice issues on blue tooth

noticed that if GPS is on, and currently trying to locate, the music gets bad, skips every second or two, basically unlistenable

radio- 12.56.60.25p_26.10.04.03_m / HTC RIL 2.2.0018G

kernel- lordmod 8.1 CFS

any ideas? is it even possible that something about my device jus dosnt agree with this rom? i mean, i know no two phones are created equal in terms of overclocking/undervolting.......
[HTC Inspire 4G] gio22:
Don't think Power Amp can do those two features. I had bout Doubletwist so it would wirelessly sync with my computer but found I never really used it but a couple of times. Power Amp can be downloaded as a trial so you aren't out any money.
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
just tried turing off extra sounds.....no difference

its wierd, i hit the menu button, so skip/interuption, but when i hit the SETTING button in the menu, i get a bad skip. once im in the settings clicking the items dosnt make any skips
[HTC Inspire 4G] gio22:
It is possible there is a hardware issue with your phone and abso but I just don't think so. Have you ruled out the SD card not being an issue?
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
The ROM isn't oc or uv by default, so it shouldn't be the phone disagreeing with it. Honestly it sounds like your headphone jack in the phone is damaged/defective.
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
well.....i guess i could try that. i have an extra 8gb i can put some music on.

also, i just changed to a regular wallpaper instead of a live wallpaper. it eliminated SOME of the problem. still get interruptions when locking and unlocking the phone.....but not when going in and out of the music app. !?!?!?1 so wierd. i have never encountered this before....

---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

phone laying completely still when this is happening and no play in jack.....wiggling it dosnt create any issues.

further note. i turned off ALL animations of ANY kind on the phone........and now the issue isnt happening. WTF does that mean!

EDIT: ok it didnt completely go away, but elimnating any type of animation on the phone reduce the issue by 90% id say
[HTC Inspire 4G] itechscs:
Ok I found the problem it was an error on my part. I must have been tired when I set my over clock values because the Max and min values were set to the same speed. Thanks for all the help guys. BTW I'm loving this rom its perfect and the support as well some of the question you guys answer and re-answer most devs wouldn't even reply.
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
well in attempt to rule out a hardware issue causing my sound problem listed above, i have flashed to another rom to test. problem is not happening for me on a sense rom. *bummed* i like absolution and the team more than any rom ive used, so im really hoping i can find a fix for this

im going to re-flash to the last ninja rom to see if it happens on there.....
[HTC Inspire 4G] gio22:
