It's a clear case of the heebie geebee's lol

Meanwhile... Back on 0.5.2 and all is gravy so far
[HTC EVO 3D] Leeboy:
0.5.1 is still working great for me on Steal's inbREDed rom, no reboots at all......staying nice and cool when playing games and benchmarking @1.72ghz. Gonna throw it on top of Drop's ZR3D on my other phone later today.....will report back tomorrow.
[HTC EVO 3D] chrisb7:

[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
Just to be clear, partly because I am confused by this.

RUU can fix electromagnetic fields?

That seems unlikely to me. From what I have read about electromagnetic fields, if this were the case, with the fields being disturbed. We would have bigger problems than just looping and battery drain. As well as it would alter quite a bit around it and could potentially have a negative effect on the person holding it.

I have done unspeakable things to my phone, and not used RUU to get back and everything has been copacetic. Not that I am completely negating your theory, it just seems rather unlikely.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
If he works at Livermore Labs or another place with a particle accelerator (which I doubt), electromagnetic fields might be affecting his phone. Otherwise, I don't think they would be causing any problems.

Just telling you what I noticed, also im on mean ROM newest dodova kernel no reboots nothing everything's stable because I always follow my template of intuition
[HTC EVO 3D] dodava:
It took flashing a variety of ROMs but I finally got a setup on my phone where I can regularly recreate the reboots on my phone and gather data to resolve the issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] dimebagdan65:
Putting 0.5.2 through some heavy testing today, solid as a rock so far
[HTC EVO 3D] ch1naski:
Intuition. Well, as long as it works for you.I'm convinced that wiping partitions thoroughly does the trick.

Drama is for queens.

and a pony.
[HTC EVO 3D] smw6180:
So many places to go with this....

Firstly. Assuming a shift in the electromagnetic field surrounding the ROM the issues would be (as PsteveP pointed out) a lot more dramatic than random reboots.

Secondly. A shift such as you describe would not be impacted by an RUU restore.

I can think of many GOOD reasons for a return to stock and re-root...but an electromagnetic shift only affecting the inside of your phone is not one of them. And it wouldn't be temporary. And it certainly wouldn't be caused by 'over flashing'. What CAN happen with over flashing is hardware based ROM corruption caused by constant burns during over-writes and erases. This is not an electromagnetic shift...it's introducing a physical defect into the ROM itself.

Now. An RUU restore WILL completely erase EVERYTHING on the phone aside from the SD card and replace it with a stock kernel/ROM...it's probably the best form of wiping there is for a phone and has definitely fixed some issues in the past, some pertaining to certain kernels for example (I seem to recall it being the preferred method of fixing a constant dual cpu on issue in Freeza's kernel back on 2.08, but I might be incorrect about that). But it's a headache to do that before every clean ROM flash, so most people aren't going to be bothered with it unless they have no other choice. Heck I've even returned to stock once or twice on this phone to rule out any issues with custom flashes.

Lastly: If you're going to spout scientific theory, especially pseudo-scientific theory, please at least make an ATTEMPT to write up your theory in something approaching a grammatically correct fashion. No one is going to place a whole lot of stock in what you say when you use 'write' instead of 'right' (for example).
[HTC EVO 3D] Leeboy:
Excellent write up........guess I was right about flashing back to stock and then reflashing current rom to help resolve issues. Lots of people were doing it a year ago on the Epic to resolve issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] smw6180:
Oh absolutely a RUU to stock will clean the phone of anything that might have gotten left over from a bad flash, or what have you.

It's just that it's not messing with the electromagnetic field to do it. ;)

I'll post my second theory tonight, which supports my first theory........very soon, but i need coffee first
[HTC EVO 3D] Leeboy:
Not trying to give you a hard time, but it does sound a little far fetched..........just curious thats all!
[HTC EVO 3D] P.Mobile:
well i got me first reboot on mean rom 4.3 with dodava 5.3 kernel.. i was on mr 4.3 with leedroid tweaks on top.. didnt change anything.. was messing around on facebook and she rebooted :(
[HTC EVO 3D] Leeboy:
I'd be willing to bet most reboots are being caused by the init.post_boot.sh file not playing nice........did mikey update his scripts to accomodate the features in 5.3?

>>I personally delete the post boot file on all 4 of my phones and use System Tuner to take control........never had any problems doing so.
[HTC EVO 3D] P.Mobile:
well since 5.3 rebooted on mean rom gona flash 5.4 kernel now.. see if i get a reboot.. it took 24 hours for my phone to reboot on 5.3.. see what happens wit 5.4 :) every kernel before 5.3 was 100% perfect
[HTC EVO 3D] Leeboy:
Agreed........5.1 has been performing very well on both of my phones. Great battery life and fast! I still have not had any reboots with this version!
[HTC EVO 3D] P.Mobile:
all 4 of ya phones!!! what phones do u gots????? :rolleyes:
[HTC EVO 3D] Leeboy:

[HTC EVO 3D] P.Mobile:
lol.. sweet.. i sold my 2 3d a few months ago.. it was nice having 2 just in case one broke but needed the cash that month.. so had to throw it on cl.. its funny 1 year ago i didnt give 2 sh*ts about smartphones now im addicted to this stuff!! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Leeboy:
Been almost 10 years for me........started flashing stuff circa 2003, back when everyone had pda's running windows mobile! I like having porn in my pocket 24/7 lol!
[HTC EVO 3D] Morbius_III:
Agreed

Yes, I ran into the same thing... I will wait on the next version of MeanROM to update.
[HTC EVO 3D] Luthien1:
my second theory is that the oems know about rooting and the developing community, and to always be able to market their custom overlays as something to be desired, they secretly, altar codes on a sublevel unknown to custom kernal and rom developers, these sub level codes can not be accessed even by root and are encrypted in the custom overlay, in a way that nothing seems wrong. So if someone alters a code to change lockscreen, to the developer, its sound, however, htc puts in a trigger code where it triggers another code so something goes wrong, which is unknown to the developer, causing freezing and rebooting sometimes. Thats why i say to minimize these sub level secret coding, you must go back to stock, then root and install rom, to minimize chances of instability
[HTC EVO 3D] ACoolGuy:
Uhh...I'll take a little of what this guy is smoking. For real yo!
[HTC EVO 3D] smw6180:
I have no words.
[HTC EVO 3D] chrisb7:
So wich one of these is the most stable. 5.1?

-EVO 3D-
[HTC EVO 3D] dimebagdan65:
For me, 0.5.2 on MeanROM 4.2
[HTC EVO 3D] P.Mobile:
5.2 and 5.1..
[HTC EVO 3D] THunDA:
5.2 seems to be the best for me.. running MeanRom 4.3.

I never ever get reboots but when I was running MeanRom 4.3 with the included 5.3 kernel I was getting random reboots.. flashed kernel 5.2 and all it perfect again.
[HTC EVO 3D] guitardoc64:
Even more secret logging? Alert TrevE! Meh...
[HTC EVO 3D] Luthien1:
those are my two theories, probably only someone like trev could get to the bottom of it... but im sure its like top secret hardcore ****, not a logging app out in the open. what im takling about is probably very top secret in google, samsung, htc, lg etc.....if both my theories were wrong, people wouldnt be getting reboots.. duh

5.4 is running smooth, no boot loops or reboots. Haven't tested on quad or antutu but drain is similar to 5.1

Edit:

Spoke too soon LOL reboot 2 mins into a call... 5.2 here I come
[HTC EVO 3D] dkdude36:
oh, and if anybody was wondering, yes, there is a magnetic electrokarma associated with our phones. they are constantly trying to attain enlightenment through experiances on stock roms, and hate us for keeping them away from their goals. that's why they employed the oem's to help them stay stock with their fbi worm coding.
[HTC EVO 3D] zsibisi:
The sad thing is that no matter what we do we can still be monitored bc we are on a sprint / boost / cricket / etc... network. But thanx to the people from xda we can be " be not the worry wort as much" LOL... but it is the truth. I wanted to say hey, big thanx to catching on you how you all pick up on this! But from my professional career, anything electronic is always going to be tracked.

Maybe swap up instead of being just tracked..... we could throw a wrench in the mix so to speak. ... such as have a script that over rides things and sends out false data ( only for and during personal ****) but leave performance tracking on as they can keep building better roms?

I was not sure on how to put that last one as well I don't like either but you figure one thing though, " how do you build a better phone / ROM w/ out knowing something about it in the real world real time?"

So I would say lets do both ... program/script to block all the crap we don't want and let go of the other bs they put in. I know y they do it bc easier to build an " all in one" so would love to figure out on how to break it ..

Just wish I had the skills to program like so many other talented people on this site... :( but just a couple of thoughts from one person to another...

thanx for hearing/listening out.. :)

Alot of auto reboots... Sad :(.. mis 5.1 was by far more stable
[HTC EVO 3D] dodava:
You don't have to miss it. You can still download it from the OP.
[HTC EVO 3D] dodava:
Well the environment where I thought I was able to recreate the bootloops was a non-starter. Turned out to be a ROM not working properly with a specific app. The reboots happened even with the stock kernel. This means I am at square one about being able to track down the reboots. Both 0.5.3 an 0.5.4 are rock solid on my phone and I have torture tested it trying to get a reboot to capture relevent logs.

If you have regular reboots with 0.5.3 or 0.5.4 please try to capture kernel logs and logcat during a reboot. Without this info I am kind of taking shots in the dark. Which is what I am going to do tonight after work. I will be posting a number of test kernels with various of the kernel changes made between 0.5.2 and 0.5.3 included and asking those with regular reboots to test each and see if one resolves the reboots.
[HTC EVO 3D] P.Mobile:
dodava i dont kno how to use logcat.. im back on 5.2 but will go back to 5.3 for u and use logcat if i gets another reboot but i never used it...
[HTC EVO 3D] Lrod0175:
For those of u having reboots:

Please tell what rom, governor, max freq, min freq, etc, so at least the dev has a little more info.

I'm on ZR3DA, no reboots, great battery life so far.

[HTC EVO 3D] Lrod0175:
Sorry I did not respond right away, a logcat is a command that gives you the internal logs of your system, basically it tells you what's going on in all the process your system is running.

To get a logcat, connect your phone to your computer, go to the folder where u have your sdk or your android tools or adb, move the mouse to the folder and press the right button of your mouse while pressing the shift button on your keyboard, choose; open command window here, type adb shell, you gonna get a #, type logcat, then you'll have all the process of your phone in your command prompt.

Pm me if you need more assistance here.

Team 420 Special Blends
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
fyi you dont need to use the shell, you can just

"adb logcat".

and for those who don't know, you can record the output (useful for FCs) by:

"adb logcat > log.txt"

then to stop the output press control+C

then you'll have a log.txt in your platform tools :)

dont think people had any reboots with 5.2 dodava.. just 5.3 and 5.4.. i only had problems with 5.3 and 5.4.. everyone before that was 100% perfect! this test 2 kernel is great so far prefomance seems good.. im gona test battery drain tonite.. 5.3 and 5.4 i got a reboot while on facebook and while on the web.. i been on facebook and the web for a while now and no reboots yet.. she how she does overnite.. i kno one thing is i cant kill my battery!! lol i been trying all nite :D

when u test battery drain at nite.. start your test at 99% or under.. starting at 100% isnt accurate.. cause some phone like mine take about an hour to get from 99% to 100%.. least thats what i was told when i was testing chads battery drain at nite.. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] intheb0x:
Only issue with test 2 is the ponury on gesture does nit work.

I've cleared data. Only thing I could think of causing it is perhaps a bug in the kernel, no reboots and light battery drain all is well.

[HTC EVO 3D] EindhovenOne:
Literally just had the same thing happen here. Unmodified MeanRom 4.3 with the 0.5.4 test2. Starting having various issues of a similar nature to include the lockups, random shutdowns and reboots on 0.5.3. Anything before 0.5.3 worked without issue.

Let me be clear, I am not complaining in the least I love the work you do, I was just putting it up here to share.

Just trying to show the other side of the coin here, but I'm on MeanROM 4.20 with Dodava 0.5.4 release and all is stable and solid as a rock. From what I've seen and experienced, MeanROM 4.2 plays nice with Dodava 0.5.2 and 0.5.4 but not 0.5.3. MeanROM 4.3 plays nice with 0.5.2 and has a decent working relationship with 0.5.3 and 0.5.4. Now if only there wasn't some monumental distraction to the Evo 3D dev community right now... Lol. Happy as a pig in $#!+ with MeanROM 4.20 and Dodava 0.5.4

[HTC EVO 3D] dimebagdan65:
To clarify, MeanROM 4.3 has not been installed on my system ever, those results are just what I've read. My 4.20 findings are my own and I consider them conclusive.
[HTC EVO 3D] dodava:
If there is anybody left still running a gingerbread ROM a test release of version 0.5.5 is available at http://db.tt/sYlXU10R

This version will have no new features but is aimed at getting stability back to 0.5.2 levels. 0.5.4 seems to have been a good step to better stability but I have had atleast one report of a lockup.

In this test release I have actually removed some tweaks I introduced starting in 0.5.3. The tweaks removed brought some potential slight performance increases but I'm not sure they really translated to better real world performance and I suspect they may be of causing some of the remaining stability issues introduced in 0.5.3.

Please let me know if you experience any freezes or reboots. Also let me know how your performance compares against previous versions.
[HTC EVO 3D] dimebagdan65:
You know me dude, I'm on MeanROM until I get a new phone lol. I'll test it, as 0.5.4 has restored my faith in those extra 1.6mb haha j/k But seriously, just finishing up a few things real quick then I'll flash and keep you posted!

Hmmmm... I'm starting to wonder if maybe it's something in MeanROM 4.3? Only reason I wonder is with 4.2, 0.5.4test2 and 0.5.4 final were solid as a rock!

Initial findings with 4.2/0.5.5test:

Performance seems to have taken a slight hit in my tests, but responsiveness, snappiness and overall feel are still quite fast and on par with 0.5.4. Now on to stress testing! Will bench again in a few hours of settling in.

The kernel package doesn't change any scripts in your boot image so if your rom of choice supports init.d via busybox run-parts than it will continue to do so. This includes almost all custom rom.
