[Motorola Droid X2] SlimMan:
CM9 Stability

I just want to through this out there!

I see user's coming in the thread every day or so saying they just installed CM9 today or yesterday and they are talking about the instability / crashes that they are having and most are going back to another ROM (usually cm7 or eclipse).

For the record I want to say that I am not a dev. and I am sure I am not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to Flashing the phone, doing mod's and etc. I am not currently on CM9 for the simple reason that MMS and a good functioning Camera are vital on my phone. However when I did have the latest (A4) flashed I managed to install MashUp and SuperCharger and had a phone that I used for 3 days or more and only had one reboot and that was really my stupidity (like I said I am not the sharpest tool).

Why am I posting this? Well I just think that some of the users need to give it a little more effort to see just how good CM9 really is and just how well DK has done for a Alpha release. Yeah you have to use extra scripts to make it stable but heck fire we use scripts on just about ever room we flash for some reason or another! Not to mention the MashUp will be intergraded into the next release, dunno about SuperCharger may have to flash that separate, either way our hard working DEV has already told us that Alpha 5 has some nice fixes and or changes in the area's where it counts. :)

So, if you are going to bother to flash it to start with, at least do your self the favor of trying the known fixes / solutions that the community has come up with and give the ROM and honest try!

I'm just saying!

Have a great day and happy flashing!

The reason I can't seem to stay on CM9 isn't so much the stability issues(you kinda figure out what not to do so that u don't get a lockup) but the battery reporting. Am I the only one that is experiencing this? My batt will go from 100% to 90% drop to 50% then 20% then die. All I the like, an hour of use. :/ help!!

Thanks didn't see it in this thread but saw in the General>Post Homescreen thread someone had it.

Though I would try, and yes laggy when you have to many Background apps running.
[Motorola Droid X2] kenjesse:
WOW... Have you checked your battery stats? I would agree the battery isn't as good as CM7 but I haven't experienced anything like that.
[Motorola Droid X2] droidzika:
I have no issues with battery.
[Motorola Droid X2] UstesGreenridge:
This is why I left, my battery would just die! I love this ROM though, and will be back, which is the problem...CM9 is like crack, i know it will mess me up, but I still keep trying it!
[Motorola Droid X2] jreb:
Any updates for using Supercharger and the CM recovery not working?

Everything else is running great except for random reboots and fc's trying to use Dolphin HD.
[Motorola Droid X2] SlimMan:
Same here, I had better battery stats on CM9 then Stock 2.3.4/5 and prob. Eclipse if not Equal to Eclipse.

Just wondering is with or w/o MashUp and or SuperCharger?
[Motorola Droid X2] DroidMaster18:
I do the same exact thing! Far too addictive

Sent from my Droid X2
[Motorola Droid X2] DroidMaster18:
Oh wow. Just the mashup no supercharger. Idk if it has something to do with me doing the 2.3.4 batt fix from pepermint. Maybe the files don't get written over when u flash cm9 and ics doesn't like 2.3.3's batt files? Idk.

CM9 with Mushup, V6 SuperCharger, bootstrap working and 3 CDMA mods

This is what I did to get it all working

1. BSF to 2.3.4 and root

2. install CM9, ics apps, boot hack

3.restart

4.boot into Dx CM7 patched bootstrap

5.Wipe Dalvik and CACHE

6. install new BSR zip. zReRecovery.Dx2.CM7.PI.notice.v4

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1426062

7.restart

8.uninstall Dx CM7 patched bootstrap.

9. BSF using new bootstrap. plug ac in, power down, do not reboot.

if it stops unplug, plug back in

10.Backup

11. Now install V6 SuperCharger 9 Update 10 Test 8. or newest.

I have been on this for three days

have had fc only in browser.

Battery life !!!!

normal use will last all day.

I Did have problems like everyone with battery

Would go from 100, to 50, to 15, then die.

Also Have Droid x on 2.3.4 rooted doing the same thing

Random reboots, battery drain?

Turns out!!!

Bad Battery

Replaced both.

No battery problems.

So what is this side project dragonzkiller is tweeting about. I've seen him mention it a few times in the past too.
[Motorola Droid X2] Stuckinabox:
I had always thought it was untethered recovery but that doesn't sound like it.

I'm just wanting to know if its something even related to our phone. Could be something totally unrelated.

I installed v6 supercharger update 9 RC9 and it works like a dream. I extracted the busybox out of the supercharger starter kit cuz I couldn't it wouldn't install threw cm7 recovery idk why. But the busybox's from from busybox installer pro wouldn't work so I just extracted it and pushed it in to system/xbin/ manually and it all works fine. Idk if that's the problem you guys had but that worked for me. Hope that helps
[Motorola Droid X2] bswides412:
I keep reading about v6 super charger and mash up. I have played around with mash up but I can't seem to find the thread for v6... Any help would be much appreciated.

[Motorola Droid X2] kenjesse:
The Starter Kit zip file isn't meant to be flashed, you need to unzip to your SD card then run the startmeup.sh script with root enabled.
[Motorola Droid X2] wareju:
^ This. If you just tried to flash it then you're not supercharged.. Just install scriptmanager and run startmeup from that folder like above said. Make sure the folder is on root of SD, I think that matters.
[Motorola Droid X2] grnsl2:
Knowing DKZ built in the Mashup for Alpha5, does it make sense to run that instead or in addition to this? Not sure what each of them do other than some of the nitty gritty details listed in the respective posts.
[Motorola Droid X2] wareju:
They work best together, dzk also said that supercharger works great with a5 even though mashup will be built in.
[Motorola Droid X2] almania6:
yeah I ran the startmeup file and it all went through but it didn't install su so I lost the superuser. So I just install it manually
[Motorola Droid X2] grnsl2:
Sounds good to me. Going to try it then. Never tried the Supercharger, looks like a start up zip, saw the posts above then probably the latest and greatest version. Is that what most have run?
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I just ran the V6 script. I've used it a couple times on gingerbread, but never on ICS. So far things feel a bit smoother. But that could also be due to wiping cache and dalvik. It always feels smooth after that. lol. If this smoothness keeps up though, I know its from the script. Liking it so far though.
[Motorola Droid X2] kenjesse:
The way I understand it Mashup tweaks the buildprop and of course is flashed thru recovery.

V6 Supercharger, while providing some buildprop tweaks, its major tweak is resetting or adjusting the minfree values which define in a big way the memory management of your rom. And as the op explains is a script run thru terminal or a script manager app.

Then of course I could have misunderstood everything I've read about both. Zep has an excellent write up regarding what v6 does in his op.

Lastly I am running both with excellent results.
[Motorola Droid X2] wareju:
I think on ics the startup is the way to go, I did both when I had it running though.

Sent from Droid X2 CM7
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Is the startup script necessary though? What if you do it without it?
[Motorola Droid X2] kenjesse:
It's not a problem in and of itself it just puts everything in place that v6 needs to run correctly. Of it is all there anyway, no worries.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Yeah, I didnt think it HAD to be done. I went through the whole process of setting up V6 and it didnt give me any problems. At the end I just did the cleanup and restart option and it seems to have worked.
[Motorola Droid X2] wareju:
I think his op said something about the regular script helping but not to the fullest until the ics tweaks are done. Its a long op though I could be wrong.

Sent from Droid X2 CM7
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
So After running the V6 script, my 3G seemed to have dropped hard. Even with full bars, loading stuff was very slow. And it pretty much made my mobile hotspot useless. I ran the script again to unsupercharge and restarted and everything is back to normal so I know it was V6. It might have been the way I installed it the first time. Maybe I'll play with it again some other time but for now, I'm good without it.
[Motorola Droid X2] droidzika:
Great for some..sucks for others....sucked for me big time. Anything that messes with my bsr is a no-no.
[Motorola Droid X2] grnsl2:
Trying this and it seems to have worked for me as well. Least i can send to other Vz phones. In a drab coverage area so it took a while to prove. Thanks for the work around.

I love seeing that DKZ is still fixing things (as this is one of them). Sure keep wishing on the first star i see every night that he'll release A5 while i sleep. :)

Edit: for what it is worth, A4 still does not work with netflix for those interested. Still small black screen with sound only. I don't know that this was supposed to be fixed but it's the same for now.
[Motorola Droid X2] Conagher:
I've noticed that when I go into the gallery and look at the pictures in my camera folder, the gallery will force close every time.

I know everyone is busy, but I'm anticipating the next update for CM9 for fixing the camera issues and the other little bugs.....:cool:
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Have you already installed the mashup mod? If not, you should. It gets rid of a lot of force closes. If you have then I don't know. Mine doesn't do that.

Since jelly bean is a .update to ics, does that mean he will 'abandon' ics for jb or will jb be a separate rom?

BTW, DZK needs a new hard drive... even if he just bought a new one... how bout we send him a few bucks?

[Motorola Droid X2] SlimMan:
I seen the tweets as well, I sent him a tweet asking what his plans was as per ICS / JB. I also was curious as to rather or not he planned on releasing another ver. of the ICS.

As for the HD I agree the community needs to donate one or the $, I will try and see if I can't get some $ together to help out. Everyone ring in as to rather we donate him the cash or if someone has a New/Fairly New HD they can sale/donate.?
[Motorola Droid X2] Tomsgt:
I asked dz what size hard drive he is looking for on twitter. I have a couple sitting around my computer room Internals and externals but he never go back to me would love to help out.

I thought we already had HWA. Its listed as a feature under whats working in CM9. :confused:
[Motorola Droid X2] DroidMaster18:
Hmm...I wonder if this full hardware acceleration thing would work on the stock rom as well...no more laggy blur?

Sent from my Stock Rooted Droid X2
[Motorola Droid X2] 754boy:
I'm thinking a stock rom already has access to full HWA. That damn Blur launcher is just laggy lol
[Motorola Droid X2] DigitalMD:
Not fully working therefore no Netflix HD Youtube, Vulkano, etc. Fixing the HWA will fix those.

And sorry I don;t mean to pick on anyone, but its one of my pet peeves. "Laggy" is not a defined word. I assume you mean does not respond instantly to my mental patterns even before I touch the screen. Anyway, factually, GB did not have the framework to support all of the GUI being rendered by HWA (GPU). Honeycomb was much better and ICS / JB is even more so. Blur itself is not a bad implementation and much better than the stock GB launcher, but no GB setup can come close in GUI speed to a proper ICS setup. That being said, if you load up even the best ICS with a 32045 active widgets, it will become less responsive
[Motorola Droid X2] ninjasailas:
That is bad news for you. That word is all over the forum.
[Motorola Droid X2] DroidMaster18:
Unless mind control has been added to Gingerbreads feature set, then of course that's not what we meant. Laggy as in I swipe a home screen and it takes 3 seconds before it moves. Or laggy, choppy transitions. Defined-1. For something to experience 'lag'. 2. MOTOBLUR(motoslur)

[Motorola Droid X2] grnsl2:
So thought I'd give this a try, do you simply answer yes to everything? I'm just going with what it is sugesting. It is going to know better than me at the moment. There's like 100 questions. haha, just keeps going like the energizer bunny...
[Motorola Droid X2] DigitalMD:
Ah, perfect, now you have actually quantified your problem instead of using a nonsensical non-word. A 3 second delay during swipes that's bad. I have not seen that since I had a HTC Eris years ago. Blur is not slow and the phone itself is not slow, but you can run any smart phone out of resources and then stability and responsiveness suffer greatly.. There are a lot of poorly implemented applications on Android. I'd say you've got a few or maybe a lot of them.
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:

[Motorola Droid X2] DroidMaster18:
U know what I meant. Of course the phone isn't slow nor the UI in itself but when u give a device with 512mb of ram a launcher that's resource intensive and add a normal amount of background processes running, u run out of ram and get lag. The gb stock launcher does not cause such a problem. Moto's launcher isn't so slow in itself but it makes ur phone run slow since it uses so much resources . However u want to word it Mr. Nitpicky, same point. It slows ur phone down.

[Motorola Droid X2] DroidMaster18:
And if this wasn't the case, moto would not have cared about using the 'MOTOBLUR' term for they're future versions of it cause no one would've complained about it. New blur is fine, our blur is not. Anything else?

I am sure that by now you have already went through the process, however for the super charger it should be pretty automated. There is a auto script that you can get from the page where the SC is that will help.

Sorry for such a delayed response but I for one wasn't on last night (my time).

Nope, I got that one, my X2 is a beast, still my first one, never once a hardware issue. closest thing I get to the normal probs is the music skip and that's only if im on blue based(and that's been awhile) I wish everyone got a x2 of mines quality.

No worries Slim, yeah, ran through the automation. Just wasn't sure if there was something you should or should not say yes to. Seems like it's working, i dono. :)

I see why some can't keep this as a daily driver. I've had a bunch of misc FC within the browser and/or random reboots. Think it's often related to video stuff, flipping the phone to the side etc. It sure is fun to use though when working. I'll try to keep it for a few more days.

Did dragonzkiller say that MMS didn't work and that Alpha5 would fix it? Cause I noticed that when I first flashed CM9 A4 it would just show a download button, but I just got an MMS and it came through, or is it the other way around we can't sent MMS?

The devs that have been keepin this together are awesome!
