bwpoersch messaged me this fix. syays hes been running this rom for 2 weeks or so and its been working great. havent tried it myself so cant speak for it but here ya go.

1: backed up everything from my sd card to pc

2: formatted micro sd card in external reader using SDFormatter V3.1

3: wiped EVERYTHING on phone using the menu options on 4EXT recovery ( I thought it was a bit of a risk doing that plus having a blank card, but it seems to have paid off and didn't give me any problems.)

4: using 4EXT recovery, set ALL partitions to ext3 (there's an option there to set their sizes, I set each of the 3 options to 1024mb)

5: power off, insert microsd (mine's a 32gb btw) and reboot recovery, verified there were no recovery files to restore to, then powered off again.

6: eject microsd, and using external card reader put clockwork mod folder with backups in it ONLY back to the card

7: with card reinserted, reboot 4ext recovery and restored by very first stock GB backup with all the VW bloat and everything. (no problems encountered)

8: reboot, let it power on, etc., but I didn't bother updating anything, in fact I deleted a bunch of apps that I haven't used in a long time (not sure why since I didn't back it up after doing all that).

9: rebooted 4ext recovery and wiped data (factory reset) and cache/dalvik ONLY. (did that twice just for good measure.)

10. flashed Justin's Venom 1.0.2 from the link you provided (thanks for that again btw) and let it update, installed all of my apps individually NOT using TiBu for any of it, so you can imagine it took a bit of time. Once I got it set up the way I wanted, I bade a backup of Venom using 4ext's app.

11: in recovery, wiped again like last time (factory reset/cache/dalvik 2x), I should mention that there's an option in 4ext to wipe all partitions except sd, I chose NOT to use this option for any of this.

12: Flashed Aero's 10/31 cm10 build with 10/11 JB Gapps and rebooted, setup, installed apps and it's been butter ever since (aside from the other issues everyone else has).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] xHoLyx:
Too much work for nothing Oo
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RRF12:
I got terrible lag today also to the point was totally unusable.Tried fresh install restoring all unsuccessful. On last est miui now an running good.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ph1nn:
Oddly I'm running CM9 (which unlike CM10 is known for being problem free) and it's been very laggy for me today too, also the phone has been warmer than normal. I didn't use this thing much today at all and the battery was killed.

It's probably time for a new phone anyway, but there are no good Android phones out that aren't massive or on another carrier... Besides the RAZR M which is locked with no CM support and ugly branding... Ugh Android has really been disappointing lately, especially with no LTE/CDMA Nexus.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] [::AP::]:
I know that feel.

I'm happy with my Incredible 2 (awesome development community, especially under the circumstances), but frankly there is little to no support, and the phone is getting dated.

But there isn't a phone that I am really desiring to have/use.

Along with the fact that I don't trust Verizon (and now even HTC) , I find myself in an undesirable situation.

I'm looking for, and I'm sure most will agree:

SD card slot / Removable Battery

4.2 - 4.7 inch screen (and no larger)

*Solid* build quality (everytime I pick up an iPhone I'm reminded of this...)

Support from both the OEM and the carrier

*sigh*
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FatGuyWithWifi:
idk about you guys but i really want the nexus 4. all i wanna do with it is get it rooted then get the 4.2 cm10 on it. sounds like heaven for me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsua98:
I would get the gnex bcuz n4 doesnt have lte

and i just noticed i type lazier on my computer than on my phone :P
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ph1nn:
Yea no LTE/CDMA support is a complete fail and a step backwards in supporting US carriers (over half the country on VZW and Sprint). Hell even the iPhone 5 has LTE support there is no excuse. It's a slap in the face as an Android user.

On a side now hows aero's latest 11-13 build? Did it by any chance fix or improve the lock/unlock bug?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] blaqbird:
Updated NavBar will be up Friday evening. Been busy with classes.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RRF12:
The nexus 4 is fail big time to me also there just isn't a phone out right now I would buy either as I am going to leave Verizon as soon as possible.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mcsplatt:
Nope, but nbd to me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phillibl:
What is the lock bug people keep referencing? Haven't noticed any bugs on mine.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsua98:
After you lock it there is a delay before you can activate the screen again

I'm so fresh you can suck my nits...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FatGuyWithWifi:
got a changelog for us? or is it just to work on the latest build?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phillibl:
Oh I remember that happening when I first flashed, a fix for that is to go to Settings>Developer Options>Window animation scale and change it from 1x to .5x or off. I have actually turned all 3 of them to off so the are no animations I have to wait through.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] plh233391:
Holy crap that worked thanks so much!!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SkinnyT:
Where has this been all of this time?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phillibl:
Haha didn't realize that was a big problem, you're welcome

sent from vivow using XDAP
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SkinnyT:
It really wasn't for me. Just a small big bug. Other people have quoted it as being a deal breaker when using this rom.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brandonrossl:
you are awesome
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Triscuit:
Sweet! Looks like we found the fix!!! Thank you phillibl, I took your fix and played around with it a bit, it seems like only the "window animation scale" is the only one needed to stop the delay, I turned it to off and the others at 1x and tada! No delay.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Dang, when I saw this I thought you meant for the bootloop and mega-lag issues. Oh well, back to CM7 for me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
So you can restore a cm7 and not flash cm9 or cm10? Wtf. Did you install the leaked ics firmware?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] getinnocuous:
Same here, about to flash Condemned CM7 because my phone's got post-Viper disease. I was on the ICS firmware.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
Well when you do flash 7 let me know how music sounds on it. Like if there's any skips and glitches.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jizzylax:
Your phone got an STD from ViperDix?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] natemup:
concerning the mega-lag, did you see this:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
MIUI with this fix flashed and is running fine so far. I don't know what the hell is going on, I just can't flash CM10 or even restore a CM10 NAND.

I wish I knew more about what files are written, used, etc by these zips and ROMs so I could dig in and try to figure out why this is happening. This is making me want to move on from the DInc2 to a new device just to get me some Jelly Bean that works.

---------- Post added at 01:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 PM ----------

@natemup

I would try that, but I can't make it through setup in less than an afternoon, and no matter when I try to reboot, it just hangs on the "Rebooting" with the little progress circle looping all laggy forever. Never actually reboots.

You're thinking permissions-fix would solve the issue? Maybe if I install, skip setup and just pull the battery, boot into recovery and fix permissions...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jtsrtr13:
The only problem with flashing before doing the permissions fix is that when you try and boot the Rom to let it settle, it never gets past the boot animation. A permissions fix immediately after flashing didn't help anything for me, either.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RRF12:
permission fix didn't help anything for me either
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
And it is inconsistent. I finally was able for run cm10 for a week and last weekend all of a sudden it said fu and went to hell. I had to restore miui because it wouldn't boot again.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Rushead:
I use music all the time on 7. Sounds great. I don't use dsp b/c I mostly stream via bt, and my car's eq works better.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] studpuppy102:
I had to flash vipers sense version and I was able to flash Cm9 and 10 again
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jtsrtr13:
Viper sense version? I was under the impression that's what ViperROM was...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] studpuppy102:
My fault. Yes viperrom, for some reason it allowed me to flash cm again. I almost bought a new phone over it I had a delay of 3 minutes for a letter on the keyboard
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] getinnocuous:
I flashed Viper again and all that does is bootloop as well. Anyways, back on CM7, music sounds fine.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jewnersey:
Permissions fix cured my lag. No wipe
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dirtysox:
I know there have been some blue tooth problems reported in this thread, but I haven't seen any exactly like what's happening for me. I use my phone with bt in my car via Ford Sync. Music plays just fine. Incoming phone calls work fine. But when I try to place a call, the call goes through, but I can't hear the other person, and they can't hear me. I can make calls ok when not on bt. Anybody seen this? Same problem on 11/05 and 11/13 versions.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Rushead:
Yeah. Same problem on cm9. If you toggle outputs from bt to speaker then back, it should work. Don't know why, but if you watch the phone when you place a call, you can see it switch to bt. It should be connected to bt the whole time and not have to switch.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phonetool:
This issue didn't really bother me. It is not often that I immediately need the screen on again after I locked the phone.

Still, nice fix!

sent via DInc2 on Aerobean
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ph1nn:
After all this time I'm shocked this is a work around. Wow. Maybe I'll give CM10 a try again... CM9 just runs so good and I'd miss those cool JB window animations.

edit: It did fix it, awesome, and the build runs great, so smooth. Still went back to CM9 though, camera is too buggy in CM10 for me. That loud shutter noise, and when you go back to the home screen brightness stays at max until you lock/unlock, no FFC, etc.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] blaqbird:
Updated NavBar

I've updated the NavBar. It is now slightly larger than the previous version in portrait mode (about 5 pixels) allowing easier pressing, and reduced in size in landscape mode (6 pixels) making the NavBar more uniform in size in both landscape and portrait modes. Make sure to reflash the liblights mod after flashing the NavBar if you've updated from 11/5 to 11/13. Instructions for Liblights along with an updated NavBar link are in the my original post here.

A direct link to the updated NavBar is below for those that remember the liblights instructions and still have the zip.

Blaqbird's NavBar Mod CM10 (Updated)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dirtysox:
I did not have this problem on CM9. I've tried switching from bt to the earpiece, but no luck. I'll try switching to speaker and back.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Rushead:
Maybe it's a different problem than on cm9. It certainly happens to me, though it is random. Pay attention to the phone itself when you place a call. You should be able to see it switch from phone to bt.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FatGuyWithWifi:
Much thanks dude you should talk to aero and see if hell incorperate this into his Rom, along with an on and off switch for it. Good deving.

How long have you been running it since
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jewnersey:
Since I made that post, still strong with the occasional hiccup. Been on cm10 since september
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FatGuyWithWifi:
I wouldn't be so quick to assume its fixed then mine lags a couple of days after flashing. Js.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jewnersey:
Worked for me is all I'm saying. Everyone's setup is different.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FatGuyWithWifi:
Hmm I suppose that's true well I just did it so I'll report my findings
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] stefilini:
I just experienced the extremely bad lag this morning. The entire UI was moving at like 2 frames a second. I restored a nandroid of this coming from Venom using goomanager/TWRP. I think it might have something to do with restoring a backup because I've never experienced this before and I've gone from Venom to CM10 a couple times but this was the first time restoring a previous backed up version.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
Running an experiment now. I've never had to install BusyBox on any rom that I've flashed until Viper. I flashed cm10 last night and it ran perfectly until I installed BusyBox from the playstore to get Solidexplorer to work. As soon as I did that the phone went to hell. Restoring my Miui backup now and going to uninstall BusyBox and going to start from scratch on cm10. We have to friggen figure this out. I'm stuck with this phone until July.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
I posted over on the Gen section thread that is talking about this issue that we MUST have someone that has this issue that is close enough to a Dev to ask for help figuring this out. We need someone who can actually figure out what is happening here.

If it is a rom doing this to us, it must be flashing something onto our phones that isn't wiped with the conventional recovery wipes, or it is wiping something that isn't being replaced with other rom flashes. I can't think of any other basic level of discrepency that could cause something like this so frequently across devices.

Anyone friendly enough with a Dev to ask for a personal favor?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
I don't know anyone. Guess I'm going to have to admit defeat.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FatGuyWithWifi:
I know someone lemme give him a pm

Figured out a fix! Ram booster. Its an app. If the lag happens fought your way to the app and clear up your ram worked like a charm. Give it a go.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Awesome. Now we just need some more success stories like this and to see whether it lasts or not.

Did your friend give the hint?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zarxic:
Unfortunately, the RAM Booster app didn't work for me. Finally got it installed and ran the Boost Now (only action I could really see) and no better. Restarted and the same.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
Go into performance settings & change i/o settings to cfq. Let me know if that works
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Just to make sure we give the same one a try, can you supply a link? Or the exact name of the app/the name of the author of the app?

When I do a search for "Ram booster" I see:

"Memory Booster - RAM Optimizer" by IMOBLIFE INC.

"Smart RAM Booster" by ROOT UNINSTALLER

and "Android Booster FREE" by NQ MOBILE INC.

But I see no "Ram booster"
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] fallendown:
A quick look at the logcat over WIFI ADB when this happened to me showed multiple threads opening closing and reopening like several different system apps were looping out of control.

I thought it was a Dalvik problem...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
You could try fixing permissions in recovery
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zelmo88:
Any idea which apps and threads seemed to be looping?

---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ----------

Fixing permissions has been tried. In some cases, it seems to work for a while......and then the lagging returns.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
Have you tried overclocking the cpu? Did you try changing the scheduler?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jeremytn86:
the new ext recovery added the ability to format and back up a different partition, this was required to install some rom though i cant remember which one, i think that it may have been venom, and maybe it's the system lib thats getting changed, though i dont remember the specifics i think that it comes down to either the venom rom changes this setting when you flash it and this rom and others all leave it unchanged, and if you made a backup with a recovery that didnt support this extra partition when you restore cm10 the changes to that partition made by viper carry back over causing all the problems. i would recommend installing the latest 4ext, wiping everything which should wipe that partition (hopefully) then installing cm10 fresh then making backup of it so you can jump back and forth with no issues, ill think about it more and do some digging this weekend and see if im on to something and if i can possibly help more.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FatGuyWithWifi:
yea sorry guys it worked for a bit but after awhile it lagged to the point of no return. false alarm my apologies.

I have tried changing the scheduler. No go.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
The stock kernel for this rom supports overclocking.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Ha! I guess I either didn't remember that, or didn't see it because I didn't expect it! Sweet!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] poo706:
So you think that this lag issue (which I'm not sure if I've even had) is RAM related? Maybe something like V6 Supercharger? It used to make quite a difference on my old Eris. I initially ran it my original DINC, but have never run it on my DINC2.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] fen0m:
This has worked 3 times for me on miui, ics ,and JB lag issues or super user/root acting funny.

Flash viper, and under aroma installer select clean install(wipe) near the beginning and do a minimal install, boot and let it sit for a few minutes. Boot to 4ext recovery and under tools select format all partitions except sd and flash away.

The aroma installer formats your partitions to ext4 btw and I believe that has something to do with it all.

Hope this works for y'all to
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
How long have you been able to run CM10 or JB without issues arising? AKA: What is the longest you've stayed on one JB rom continuously and successfully with this fix? Did it eventually begin to lag or bootloop?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zelmo88:
I've done this several times.......it works for a while, but eventually the lag returns.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] fen0m:
3 days and I've gone back to it a few times to make sure it still worked. It worked great for miui also. I was getting issues with super user and root and flashing viper cured that too

.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zelmo88:
Dumb question........how do I flash the boot.img prior to flashing the ROM?? Have it extracted on root of my SD card, but can't figure out how to flash it! Looking at Venom settings, it's default to OTA update=ON. Just wondering if somehow it updated and now I'm S-On......even though my bootloader still says I'm S-Off. Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 9zeronine:
Fastboot flash boot (path to boot.img) or 4ext tools? I think will do it for you. Doesn't fix the lag tho.

P.S.anyone know what blk0p28,29 are?

I think it's more like everyone talking about the fix is talking about it in its thread. I don't think we have a solid confirmation yet from more than one person, if even that, that any fix lasts for more than a couple days. Check the thread over in the Gen section if interested.
