@ron i totally agree, that whatever happened in the change to the rom is also part of this culprit, but we cant rule the whole thing on the rom in general since there are some people who dont get the reboots.. and unless someone with more time/skills than i have right now, to pull the builds apart and analyze them we are shooting in the dark, unless aosp jumps in remembers what the differences were.. if we could get some logs and d/kmsgs we might be able to hone in a little bit on it for him.. i am just trying to get some troubleshooting done on this..

so its good to know that someone finally got to @oldjackbob's phone and made it reboot.. i was beginning to think he actually had an EVO and was just fooling us..

Okay. So I rooted and installed the rom and such successfully. I used to do it with my old Touch pro so it wasn't to hard.

I have an Alltel Hero

Just a couple questions. Is there anything else I need?

Everything is running great so far. So much better than the stock rom. I did notice that it says Sprint in a couple places on the rom. Is my phone using sprint towers? If so, how can I make it use the Alltel ones?

Sorry if this sounds newb-ish. I just want to make sure I'm not doing something illegal by having the phone using the wrong towers. Haha

Thanks a lot guys! Such an amazing group here! :D

No you're still on alltel, that's at the radio level - do NOT flash other radios. Also, you can change everywhere where it says sprint. The lockscreen and notification bar can be changed with the eri.xml hack, and the about phone and market can be changed thru the build.prop. I can link you later if you need, in the mean time use the xda search and you'll find it.

Following Jason Maloney's suggestions I set my cpu to ondemand 264/614 and compcache to 18%, left my VM heap at 32MB. Used Google Nav today for 35 minutes, 35 minutes, and 50 minutes respectively with screen on and not charging and did not get a reboot as long as my screen was on. The last leg of my driving (50 minutes) as my phone crept up towards 105 degrees I tried turning my screen off and got a reboot instantly. Again, I run a minimal setup...Go launcher EX, with 1 home screen and only a Weather Clock widget (refreshes only on screen wake) and 5 icons in the dock bar. Background data was off and nothing was open/running in the background. No task killer installed. So while my adventure wasn't without hiccups, it sure was a step in the right direction.

Screen on or off, JIT/no JIT, tried every CPU governor, many different min/max cpu combos, and pretty much everything else that's been mentioned on this thread. Regardless, phone reboots ~ 30 minutes. GPS works not only with sense and AOSP Froyo, but also CM7 GB (at least the releases of that I've tested). I'm testing the new Evervolv GB ROM now, drove right at a half hour today and no reboot - this was right on the border, but is at least a sign that there's no problem there either. I know this issue is phone dependent and not necessarily a ROM problem, but there appears to be something with this ROM only that my particular phone's GPS just doesn't like.

Let me rephrase the question... reboots ONLY when screen off?

Just curious, because I have only had GPS reboot once (overheating, the culprit, i think). I mean, once since all the gps hoopla began. Which makes me wonder why it DOESN'T happen to me... I use Cardio Trainer (for hours at a time), and the usual google maps/nav. Ondemand, usually somewhere around 691 max, 264 min. why doesn't it happen to me?

Same here, gnav definately with screen on and off, golf gps programs also both ways, only using these tends more to freeze for me as opposed to reboot. And I agree with what was said earlier, some people don't have any problems, so maybe it is a combo of the rom and some particular widgets or background program that is running that is causing it.

No, I'm not getting reboots JUST when the screen is off.

Cyber try bumping the min CPU up to like 480 then and try screen off. If it sticks then anytime you wanna run GPS run it at 480 or whatever is stable.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
well Matt since you have been waiting so patiently here are my thoughts..

and i'm honestly not sure of what the benefits of it are/could be (at least for our little heros).. but in what JIT is (just in time compiler), its essentially a code optimizer, it reads the application code and analyzes it and makes it run smoother.. doing all of this behind the scenes, while the app is running.. so essentially if the app were to have a flaw somewhere (or start to break down) the JIT should in theory help to correct this by translating the code behind the scenes.. now supposedly JIT doesnt use very much memory itself but as we have found out over time it hasnt always worked well with our hero, since it has limited memory..

now my theory for this, and with some of the people running JIT and not getting GPS reboots (and this is all just crazy theory from my head nothing more), since most hero users that i know have stayed away from JIT due to it causing issues.. i think some have found success with JIT now because we have actively started using compcache,and other "tweaks" (for lack of a better term) i.e. firerats/a2sd/autokiller, that seem to be freeing up some of our virtual memory, so JIT seems to be running a little better.. again this is all theory, and i dont use JIT myself because i'm still a little wary of it on my hero.. even knowing that it could work..

hopefully that makes sense to someone else, my head isnt the best place sometimes, and again i dont also think that JIT is the answer to the GPS question here, but i think it may be helping some.. i would like to find the real culprit behind this thing, but we need more info, and it sucks because we all run diff setups and diff apps, and not all of us are crashing all the time..

so there is my piece.. piece of what, who knows..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
I am told CM7 is not having the GPS reboots with the screen off, I will be testing it on the weekend to so and will report back
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
It's true.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Pstevep, I don't think JIT is part of the issue, for a number of reasons. First off, I've been using JIT nonstop now since February without a single observable problem. Some folks might say, "well how do you know that any problem you see for a certainty isn't caused by JIT"? The answer is simple ... I haven't seen a single problem with my phone in any regard since February, period (at least not any that I remember). JIT is simply running rock-solid stable on Gingerbread for me. My phone runs for weeks at a time without any problems.

Secondly, I can run My Tracks without any problem, time after time, for hours at a time. But the Golf GPS app I ran yesterday rebooted in two minutes flat. So it wasn't JIT that was the cause of the reboot, because I'm always running JIT but only the Golf app causes a reboot.

Thirdly, I don't run firerats, and I never have. Not that I have anything against FR, I just don't feel a need to run it. So I don't have the hundreds of MB of free memory that FR offers, but JIT still runs fine for me, so it can't be quite the big resource hog that some think it must be. I don't use any task killers so the system is apparently doing an adequate job of killing unused apps without my active help, and apparently JIT is satisfied with the system's efforts in that regard also, because like I say, I rock on for weeks at a time without issue. That includes after even a loooong My Tracks recording ... I just close the app when I'm done and go on about my business.

I'm absolutely satisfied that JIT is a non-issue now on my phone. I see no reason to ever turn it off.

Just my $1/50 on JIT.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
im sorry im saying that JIT could be an asset in this not a hinderance.. what is your compcache level btw fi you dont mind me asking?? i only ever used JIT a long time ago when it did do silly things.. I think that the translation that JIT does behind the scenes may be helping the GPS out.. sorry if it looked like i was dissing it, i was arguing for at that point..

EDIT: do you also run s0be's kernel or are you stock kernel>???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Understood. Stock kernel, no compcache (not even sure what compcache does), 32MB VM heap size (a "free" command in terminal shows 30792KB total swap), surface dithering off, no purging of assets, lock home in memory.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
Ok. well you convinced me I'm throwing jit on.. so I'm going to screw with it for a few days.. everything the same as yours except compcache is at the default ( which is 18 percent, did you turn yours off?) and I purge my assets.. lets see how this goes.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] GeezyAF:
If all you require is 2.2+, this ROM would be qualified because its 2.3.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Riff76:
Correct about the rom but the phone's hardware must be openGL 2.0 or higher, which the Hero is not. There is a thread in the Themes and Apps forum for HeroC. I wasn't successful in getting it to work but others were. Give it a try.

I think there might be a confusion regarding the "music beta app". The app linked above is "beta version of android music app", which has been superseded by "android music app which support google music beta", aka Music 3.0.1.

As far as opengl is concerned, I'm not sure if that requirement is still in place, but it works fine for me using the old google maps fix. And by "fine" I mean "just having the new music app installed seems to slow down my phone at all times, since it runs at startup and includes a background syncing service".
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
I noticed that lag also when using the app. I think it's very resource intensive. Probably likes 4g, a faster cpu, and nice chunk of ram to run. I don't need to stream my music that bad. That's what sdcards are for.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
I wonder if Google Nav doesn't like having its assets purged. Maybe it builds up this big pile of assets, and when it looks away for a moment, Android jumps in and throws away the assets. Then Google Nav comes back looking for them and flips out cause it can't find its assets.

Would these performance settings be one of the key differences between this GB rom and all the others?

I have a long drive this weekend. I'll see if setting things like OldJackBob will help. I'm actually running JayBob's rom, but I think the two are similar enough that the test will still mean something.

(Posted while sitting on the train or on the... well, you know.)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
I haven't purged assets since I learned that that makes ADW Launcher lag when flipping between screens. Several other users have noted that ADW lags for them, and when they turned off asset purge their lag problem disappeared.

I did get a reboot using My Tracks today after about two hours of riding. There were a couple of circumstances that I believe contributed. One was my failure, again, to get an accurate direction lock on the orange arrow before I began recording. I even used the GPS Status to reload GPS data, and still couldn't get a direction lock in My Tracks. I finally just said To Hell With It, and started the recorder anyway, halfway expecting it to reboot shortly. But it lasted two hours before finally jumping out the window.

The other circumstance is that I never did a clean reboot after the Golf GPS app rebooted on me yesterday during my test of that app. Something tells me that that reboot left some dingleberries hanging in my system that I never cleaned up.

In fact, I'm pretty sure that's what happened because I just now did a dalvik/cache wipe and reboot and now I get a good direction lock in My Tracks after GPS Status data reset/download. So I fully expect that my next My Tracks session will go hitch-free. I'll report if that's not the case.

As to why I'm not running any compcache, I have no idea, lol. I think I disabled it back when I was trying to get soBe's AP5 kernel running (never did get that to work for me) and I eventually just forgot all about the compcache setting. :o One thing I never was sure of is which setting I needed to adjust to enable the compcache -- the one in CM Performance settings or the one in build.prop. Also, I never learned how to tell whether compcache was actually enabled, regardless of what any particular settings were at. How do I tell?

@oldjackbob

I use a modified version of adw with purge assets enable and I have no lag at all. This includes when switching home screens or while scrolling. If you feel like giving it a shot let me now.

@ the gps issue.

Ive used sprint nav with the two latest aosp roms releases and it works for me without rebooting. I set my screen time out to 30 min and its performs as it should. I also have jit enabled,lock home app in mem compache@26%,purge assets enabled vmheap@32 and surface-d enabled and I disable notifications when using sprint nav. I also set my radio to gsm cdma when when ever I use it because it gives me a better singal in my area. But I've also removed gapps as it would always constantly running in the background when sprit nav was running. I have been using Jm's 806 kernel "thanks jm" since it's release and I have the governor set on performance with 691min 710 max and the car charger always plugged in and it has worked without an issue on serval long distance trips I've taken. I don't know if this will help out users who are having the gps reboot but I figure I would post it incase it does. Also I know there are several different Sprint nav apk's and I'm using a older version I believe, but I'm the type of user that doesn't like to update apk's as long as they work for my needs. If anyone wants to try the version I'm running let me know and I will post it.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
Someone was asking about changes that happened in March. I remember around 3/2, we went from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 because that's when I began having flashing issues for the 1st time.

I also believe that asset purging was added sometime in April. This is all from memory, so don't quote me.

I have had only one reboot with Google navigation, but I don't use it much. I will probably be using it more in the near future though.

I haven't used jit in a while. The only thing I noticed when using it was that my off animations disappeared and my linpack scores went up. I might need to check with navigation now.

Flashing IS a gateway drug!
