I am sorry we removed torch, I really didn't think that many people used it. But I will put it back in the next release. But keep all that stuff in the back of your mind trust me 1.5 will be epic. We will also look into the Faux Kernel to see what us going on. If you guys who are having freezing issues try something for me. Can you please instead of using the smartass governor can you switch to the ondemand governor. Or even one of the other ones. Its a shot in the dark but maybe it will work. Thanks.

Update:

I decided to just try and see what happened, but in the instructions where after you do the 2 kernel settles, it says to select the first setup option and then go setup the phone. Instead of going to setup the phone, I decided to skip the google login, I did this thinking that maybe I had an app causing it. I then proceeded to power on/off and the phone crashed. So rule out any possible apps, as I can get it to do it on fresh install.

I'm attaching another set of logcat and last_kmsg, hopefully without any of my apps installed and running in the background it can help shine some light on the root cause. Let me know if I can assist any further.

Omfg this is ridiculously fast. One question though.

Is there a way to change icons in the dock on the stock launcher?

Oh and the labels on the homescreen apps, can they be removed?

After much troubleshooting.....I am inclined to believe that the freezing (at least on my phone) is coming from the stock launcher.

I flashed the cyangogen RC2 rom released on 3-7-2011 a couple days ago and didnt have a freeze for over 24 hours. that rom doesnt include the stock launcher...it has adw. I dont use that...I use launcher pro....but nevertheless....I believe it could be the stock launcher...because when i flashed RG 1.4.....frozen in 4 minutes....i reflashed RC2 and am 12 hours unfrozen...even after flashing fauxs 2.1 kernel (kudos to that awesomeness)

I hope this contribution helps someone....somewhere

Rom - cyanogen rc2 (previously RG 1.4/1.3/1.2)

governor - N/A not using SETCPU

frep range - N/A not using SETCPU

home launcher - launcher pro

live wallpaper - Don't use live wallpapers

apps - typical stuff+pwall,quick profiles pro, ringo pro

things i've tried to fix already - everything posted previously and more

good luck team royal.....you guys are amazing

p.s. - sorry for a lack of a logcat this time & I dont know how to get a last_kmsg

Honestly I don't care what flashlight app is used, I just like that it's in the notifications widget, I don't use the app drawer once my phone is set up, and I don't like having a flashlight icon on the homescreens, so it was really easy to just add it to the widget and call it a day. Not having it doesn't change how much I like the ROM, so to me it's just a small price to pay for the smiting of one's enemies. Wait no that's the stinkpalm.

make sure you've got your time zone properly set in date & time (settings) ..

i think you have to uncheck 'set time automatically' to select your time zone .. then you should be able to recheck set time automatically.

that's the first i've seen/heard of that one..

Running 1.4 for about 9 hours now. Very smooth build, great work on that part. But problem I've always had even in RC's and nightlies is that every time I reboot my phone my default ringtone and notification tone changes automatically to whatever the default one was from initial flash. I've kept everything stock, haven't themed it or anything. Kept clock speeds and governor to stock and even using stock launcher provided.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Other than that I love this build. Been using CM RC's/Nightlies, and even Ultimate Droid's Rom but this is thus far my favorite. Thanks guys and really looking forward to what else you guys can do to this thing!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bballcat03:
Can anyone comment on this:

On Ginger, if you get new messages (email) and delete them, do they come back when you click "load new messages?"

On RC2, it does this for me. It's quite annoying that I delete them, and then when I click "load more" it loads more...but also the ones that were already deleted.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rojovilla:
okay, had another couple of freezes since last post. didn't have time to switch the wallpaper to static until the second freeze. seems all good now. will keep an eye out. attached a logcat (2 parts due to file size), but couldn't retrieve last_kmsg.

I'm not knowledgeable enough about programing to know, but a thought crossed my mind.. I did the gfree to my phone. I've had none of the screen freezing. Could that be related?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rojovilla:
I used the gfree method to root and still getting the freezing.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jhjmonnee:
hmm I don't think so. I did my phone and my wife's the visionary route ... mine has never froze once.but hers has numerous times. our phones are the Chinese / Sh screens so the hardware is the same (I hope). for now she is running cm7 rc1 with no issues...I dunno if it is due to a few mytouches running 2.3.3 or not with modified kernels + screen animations or if overclocking is the issue...hmm ill prolly flash hers to 1.4 and if it freezes ill post up a logcat

So I posted this in the general Q&A section and got nothing...when I flash this, I go through EVERY step, including wiping the SD card...and every time I flash it, I get the same wall paper I was using on the previous rom...can anyone venture to guess why this is?

Even when I flash to a CM rom, it should be a "live" wallpaper, it never is! it's always what the last wallpaper I was using.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Tazzaras:
are you wiping data, cache, dalvik cache, system, boot, sdcard. Also, if you login to google on first boot it resotres apps and background because it has a backup on its servers saved with your settings. The way around this is to skip that part and then go and set it up through accounts&sync in settings.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bballcat03:
I am wiping everything, including SD card...going around it doesn't work. It's still the same.

And I don't log in to google on first boot, I do as the instructions say and wait till 5 minutes after the 2nd boot.

What should the wallpaper be for Ginger 1.4?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Tazzaras:
Even if it's not first boot if you are logging into google as soon as you get the option and not selecting skip step, it will do this. I am not sure as I have not flashed it but I believe the live wallpaper nexus is the wallpaper as default.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bballcat03:
I have skipped the part of signing in and gone into "account/sync"....before I get there and set up my google account, it's still the same wallpaper from last time!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Tazzaras:
hmm, that's strange. DO you have the back up my settings option selected when you are setting up your accounts and google apps, that might be the culprit as well.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bballcat03:
No idea where that is, so I'm gonna go with no lol
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Tazzaras:
It's under settings --> privacy. Also when you set up your google apps, it gives you the option if you would like google to back up your settings. So check that and try wiping and reflashing and see if it all works.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bballcat03:
No, neither is checked in "privacy"
[myTouch 4G Android Development] pnut22r:
Is there any way to add previous apps in the notification drop-down, like the do in the sense roms?

First note:

The stock SMS tone just scared the sh*t out of me when it went off. lol
[myTouch 4G Android Development] nick34609:
Do you mean like remove them and place different ones? You can do that on the stock launcher by pressing and holding on an icon. Then select choose application. If this isn't what you meant, sorry.

Just spent the day on UD. Not impressed. Had to use faux's kernel just to make it run well. I like how branded it is, things in the framework like the logo on the lockscreen is cool, maybe the devs of RG could do some similar stuff. Give the ROM a RG touch on the GUI side. Nothing out of control, just maybe a logo or two in the right place, etc. Either way, you guys are just starting (what has it been, a couple weeks now?), I can only imagine what is to come.

For people having issues with the new facebook... its not the rom. Its facebook. Its broken. For everyone.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] powduh09:
Is this suppose to happen on every boot? Because it does on my phone. Running R.G. 1.4 though I do have a custom splash screen. Also, not sure if it makes a difference, but I have the inferior mt4g (screen type 1, lesser cpu) and have no running issues, even using setcpu at 1555max 245min. Though I have noticed one small issue: when you rotate the phone 90° on the home screen (using live wallpaper) the wallpaper only takes up half the screen. It only does this with my market installed lwp's though. Also, if team Royal needs any testers, I would be glad to oblige, I love the work you guys have put out. Every rom I have tested out thus far is kick a**...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mike21pr:
I want to try out this rom but am worried about the freezing issue mentioned a lot in this thread. But can anyone point out a ballpark on what percentage of users have this problem vs the ones that dont? Maybe if its a small number, i might go for it

I was wondering if team royal had a web site, Facebook, twitter, or anything like that. Also, I agree with the post a little back that stamping team royal in a few small places would be a cool touch.

Btw, this rom really is blazing fast, and battery life is great, thanks for that.

no one has more direct info on this than me , and anecdotally (aka no way to know how many people aren't reporting it but I'd guess a good part are) my guess is less than 10%..maybe even less

just nandroid and give it a flash and see..you can always nandroid back ..nothing lost.

pretty sure you won't regret it...this ROM is in a league of its own
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lowandbehold:
I had issues with the freezing as well. But you might as well try it out since all users don't have the issue. When it froze I just took the battery out and put it back in and it was phone. It's not like it is going to boot up frozen. You will have no issues restoring your backup if the ROM is not for you.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
We've been trying to reproduce the freeze in testing. We just cant do it. Faux123 and I had a conversation about this yesterday. He asked me if I knew anyone that could break a rom with ease. I laughed at him.

The point is, its not likely to happen to anyone. If it does, reflash and try again. If you can make it freeze, PLEASE get us a good logcat.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
yeah, this new stock launcher doesn't 'follow' the no auto rotation rule when you uncheck it in settings .. for some reason.

we'll probably just disable the rotation (for the homescreen) in the next version. that is, if we can't get a setting for it thrown together.

in the mean time - most of the aftermarket launchers have this setting built in .. i know ADW EX does..that's what I use. pretty positive launcher pro does .. not sure about zeam but i think so.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
no, my average boot time start to finish is between 2 min and 2 min 15 sec

a little longer if you're booting up right after clearing dalvik (or fresh install obviously)

custom splash must be adding to the boot time

also, in response to:

"Is there a way to get 7 home screens on this rom?"

you can with one of the aftermarket/3rd party launchers .. ADW EX allows you to have 7 (i think even more if you want) .. several of the others do as well .. they should say in their descriptions on the market whether they do or not ..

yes, i'm suggesting anyone with the freezing issue to go download the newest 2.1.4 kernel from Faux from here and let us know if that helps at all ...

i believe we're getting closer to at least a temporary fix for this until we can hopefully get a permanent fix in place.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] powduh09:
The 7 home screens isnt that big of a deal, though I appreciate the response. As for my boot time, I should also mention that I did not follow the installation guide in the op. I installed the same way I do with most othe roms. (full wipe of course) all I did was install the rom, allow it to boot, left it sitting for about ten minutes, then rebooted and went through setup.

During the initial boot I did notice that if I left the device sitting it kept acting like it was in a bootloop, constantly returning to the bootanimation and then after about a minute or so getting to the home screen only to do it again. I was figuring that maybe my install method has something to do with my boot time, but logcat shows nothing going wrong as far as I can tell so I haven't messed with it too much. I like this rom way too much to let a little slower boot stop me from using it...

Edit: after posting this, I used root tools to clear out my app cache and a bunch of other settings and am now down to about 2 minutes from pressing power to completely booted....
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mac33:
Update. I reflashed & used RoyalKnight's suggestions. Switched governor to ondemand. Turned off screen animations. Been up for about 3 hours & no freezes yet. Will report back later.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Ok so we are thinking faux newest kernel might have fixed it or at least that is what it looks like. Flash faux new kernel remember to wipe cache partition and dalvik cache prior to flashing kernel. I will probably come out with a 1.5.1 update that includes the new kernel and a few more themes.

I would just reflash the ROM then. wipe everything. follow all instructions in OP.

I've had a few flashes of 1.3 and 1.4 where my time came up 5 or 6 hours off on the initial setup .. I always just fixed it manually and the clock was fine after that. I never noticed it carrying over to my SMS timestamps and causing any issues though.

But as often as I have to reflash this ROM (because of testing future builds or other ROMs for the team) - the magical CM / google sync gods get my time zone correct off the bat 3 or 4 out of 5 times.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rojovilla:
all is VERY good thus far with the new kernel! i'm pretty sure faux thinks i'm crazy for breaking these kernels left and right! at any rate, no freezes YET. have the SV on the sdcard just in case i need to flash... (these freezes are the weirdest damn thing)

on a side note, royalknight, a couple of things: (1) love the home screen rotation, so please don't change that as i try to use widescreen on my glacier as much as possible, including the home screen, (2) is there any way to incorporate the other stock calendar (think it was pink in color)? i'm not a fan of the one that's included as it is very basic and the other had more options (if not, no worries), (3) 98.13% of the time when i end a call, my phone defaults to a lockscreen. is there a way to fix this? i've gone through all settings and enabled/disabled items that i think would help, but it doesn't. (4) and last but not least (very minor), the new browser included doesn't enable sorting of bookmarks; is there a way to remedy this other than going with 3rd party?

keep up the awesome work...OUT.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
did my reply here last time you brought the lockscreen end call issue up not help? mine returns to home screen every time.

the browser has bookmark functioning built in ... theres a bookmark icon to the right of the title bar at the top of the browser .. you click on it , it brings up bookmarks, most visited, and history ... the very first option on the top left box under bookmarks shows your current page and says 'Add' with a star on it. click that and you're good.

alternately, hitting the menu button while in the browser has a 'bookmarks' button there as well which brings you to the same screen as the bookmark shortcut icon to the right of the title bar.

i'm glad the new kernel is working for you. it does not appear that 2.1.4 fixes the issue for everyone but i'm seeing some encouraging reports from it helping several of you. as i've started suspecting a little bit ago, i believe that hardware is coming into play here and thus the ol' adage of everyones phone not being equal/identical means that likely one solution is not going to fix it 100% of the time for EVERYONE that is experiencing this (again, still appears to def be a minority / fraction of users that have this issue at all) ... but hoping best case - yes we come up with a fix that works across to board for everyone ... or potentially (and what it looks like to me presently) is that we will come up with 2-3 (or more?) fixes, one or more of which should solve it depending on your situation/setup/hardware.
