[Q] Why does my desire freeze running custom ROMs? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys!
This might be some kind of a noob question but I honestly don't know what I am doing wrong.
I tried different custom ROMs on my Desire and they all share one major fault: my device freezes at least once or twice a day. I tried MildWild Oxygen, MildWild CM, and CM7.1.
First I thought it might be the ADW Launcher in CM7.1 because that was the first ROM I tried, but the others have different launchers and the problem prevails. Also I tried to lower the max CPU frequency but that didn't solve the problem.
Maybe it has sth to do with my partitions? Because I only partitioned my SD card but did nothing more like adding scripts or SD alignment.
Any help will be gratly appreciated.

You can try the file I'm posting below after partitioning your sd card. It'll align and convert your ext3 partition to ext4. This might help. Good luck.
PS: I couldn't post the file because of my low message count. You can search and find the file on google easily. The filename is "alignment_cool_2.zip"

The rom and its kernel could be the prob to .. try runny AIO 5.0.3 no freeze at all

From my experience Runnymade roms were the most unstable roms that I've ever used. Since installing Mildwild's oxygen rom I'm trouble free for quite some time...

Runnymede for me was always stable, but I hate the lag. I multitask a lot!

First of all, thanks to you all for participating in this discussion.
I haven't had a single freeze all day and haven't changed a thing.
Is it possible that my problems disappeared all by themselves?
To be honest, MildWild 2.9 was the smoothest of the three from the beginning.
I'll keep you updated.
PS: Suggestions are of course still welcome

another thing just came to me:
could it be that I messed it up with the partitions I made? Because when I did it I felt like experimenting and made a 2GB ext4 instead of 1GB like I had always done in the past.

ok, I was in a bit of euphoria after I hadn't had a single freeze during the day.
Last night I had an unwanted reboot, this morning I couldn't wake my phone when the alarm went off so I had to take out the battery and on my way to work my phone crashed while I was listening to music and I had to reboot twice to get it running properly again...

Try using alignment_cool_2.zip after partitioning. I also don't use swap partition and set that to "0". Since mildwild released a new version of his rom you can repartition and then use alignment tool and install that new version.

I'm just wondering why you recommend using this rather than just using gparted to convert to ext4?
I also think people should be careful using it as I believe it will wipe your ext3 contents and therefore could mess up your phone. It may be possible to use recovery to backup the ext3/4 and the recover it but that is beyond my level of knowledge to be honest.

Gparted doesn't always work too well for me. Also, after formatting and partitioning your sdcard, everything will be wiped out anyway. This file is very easy to use, plus it aligns your partition. You don't have to boot your computer with gparted. If you don't want to lose your stuff on your sdcard, simply copy everything to your computer and move them back after partitioning...

That may well be the issue. I tried to create a 2Gb sd-ext partition (using CWM) and it crashed my phone as soon as it put all the apps into it. . I have seen it reported that it is known bug that it can't handle large ext3 partitions on the SD card, so I reduced it to 512Mb and all is fine.

need a desire vets advice

hello all. i just recenlt bricked my galaxy s telus fascinate and got a desire replacement. i managed to get the root working without a issue (was superscared because of previous brick). now im looking for a rom. a good rom. coming from touch wiz, sense is mint. i love it.
so i want something that like stock sense with sense widgets without all the bloat and hopefully a proper app2sd (the stock app2sd is only moving like 1/3 of the data to sd and 2/3 is stayin in internal storage) . i heard desire hd roms r good but i dont really see the upside cause i dont know much about the phone yet just the OS. im runnin froyo 2.2 with hboot 93.0001.
any info would b mint. thx in advance
ps. only 1 day in, and the desire is running laps around the fascinate in every aspect except afew hardware issues like
-no internal sd card
-psx4droid is alot slower but i do own a hacked psp so no biggy
-and the app2sd sucks considering i went from 2 gigs internal storage to 133 mbs
but interface rocks. awaiting some opinions
You may want to take a gander at this thread: http://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/231930-desire-index-everything-desire-here.html
It has links to all the usual suspects when it comes to the different ROMs available, and once you get familiar with the ones that are out there you can do more detailed searches to see which one you may like the most. After that just download and get to flashing. As long as you nandroid backup before flashing anything you can always go back.

what about kernels? i had a overclocked voodoo kernel on my sgs and it ran games and emulators amazingly. ff9 on ps4drioid was running like 95% speed. any speed kernels or voodoo kernels available? and allso i hear the best way to manage storage is data and app2sd +. how do i go about installing that? b4 or after i flash the rom?
1. The Desire has an Adreno GPU, not a PowerVR SGX - so the graphics performance will be MUCH more slower, than the GS'. Also I use this kernel, gives me the best performance.
2. Most custom ROMs have that feature preinstalled (so installs automatically, when flashing the ROM), just make sure you have partitioned your SD Card (fat32+ext 2/3/4).

how do i go about partitioning the sd card? lm fat with a fresshreformat from my pc. now im quite sure ext/4 is the safest and most stable partition to use and 2 being the worst. on sgs, voodoo did the ext/4 for me and didnt have to do the work. so im confused on this part since ive seen nothing with a voodoo tag on it since i joined. and voodoo had to be deactivated everytime u flashed new software. does that still apply here>?
Use Gparted or easus partition for that.
Create a FAT32 partition first and then an ext4 partition (both primary).
You have to look for a2sd+ here in the ROMs description to make it work (LeeDroid definiately works). Make sure you have partitioned the SD card then just flash the ROM (of course nandroid backup first & full wipe) and it will go, you have to do nothing. It is an auto-script.

k im donwloapding gparted partition. how do i do this? i have a nandroid backup of stock with root and it says i will lose my data. and how does the program work? im finding the htc hacking to have alot more work involved then sgs. how do i backup my nandroid? can i copy and paste to my pc?do i partition thru the phone or pop the card out and put it directly into the pc?
how do i use this program?
A very good tutorial how to use Gparted, if you have no idea.

k so i used some windows partition creator and partitioned fat32 with a 1.5 gb ext3 partition. flashed rcsmixhd. looks mint. running good so far. got the telus network working. only thing i really need 2 know is how does the app2sd+ work? does it automatically install it too sd? or do i haveta use a app? or can i go thru the settings applicqations manage move to sd card? this is all i have left todo so plz advice is a must
nvm i looked around and foundout titanium backup shows apps2sd drive. sweet. thx 4 all the help so far desire has a large lead on the fascinate. looks so beautiful

Battery and Lag Isuues Starburst

I made a thread on this before and didnt get much help so this im doing it right.
Size of sdcard used: 8gb Kingston class 4
Size of each partition created and type of partitions made : Primary fat 32 (4.7gb) and Primary EXT4 (2gb)
Software used for partitioning (Gparted, Amon Ra recovery etc): Gparted
Recovery Software installed, with version and subversion number (Eg: Clockworkmod 3.0.0 R3): Clockwork Mod Recovery 2.5.0.7
Whether you are S-OFF or S-ON (If you dont know what this is, or you dont have the picture of a Joker holding a card, on the bootup screen, you are S-ON): S-OFF
Detailed account of steps you did for the procedure, with output/errors at each step as received from the Recovery/Partitioning software: This part im not too clear about
Did you do a full wipe from Recovery before installation?: Yes
If you didnt, what ROM were you running previously?:
Version of the ROM you installed, and the names of the Data2SD installer/reinstaller flashable zips you used (if any.): Starburst (1.3.3.5) – Standard Edition Data2Sd installer (Stable) VersionCode :1.3tiny
If you’re using a custom kernel, full name of the kernel with author name, the kernel voltage if known, whether you have an overclocked/undervolted configuration: None
Did you get any of the following messages in recovery? …………………………………….
sd-ext could not be formatted, file already exists?
Failure mounting ‘sd-ext’
Or a message similiar to the above?: No
My battery is draining in 9 hours of moderate use opposed to full days or more before rooting and using this custom rom. It also lags now, it will be all zippy then it will freeze for a few seconds or just lag insanely. Maybe the battery issues are stemming from the cpu working too hard trying to deal with the lag. Thats just me brainstorming but ya, if anyone could help me out here I would greatly appreciate it.
(As of now I am using a default homescreen free of all custom apps to see if the problem is stemming from one of them) EDIT: it made no difference so I am assuming it is not a running app.
(Also, it lagged as soon as starburst was installed so maybe the apps have nothing to do with it. Another issue is that when I press the power button to turn the screen on the screen dosent always turn on. This is another issue associated with the lag that is bothering me)
A note. The battery melts away when I start to use apps, the internet or anything that takes the phone out of standby mode. If I'm correct the kernel in the starburst rom overclocks the CPU to one thousand and something. Maybe this could be my problem. And if you think this may be the case could you recommend a better kernel to me? Thanks

I think I may have figured out the issue. You see, when I first installed the rom I restored my default settings effectively replacing my new fancy rom with the old one.
When I wiped the internal memory (2 gb or so off of ext 4 primary I think) the external still had a few files on it from the last install of the rom. I left those there thinking they would be no issue. Could those remnants from my first starburst install be the cause of my issues?

Wipe and repartition with Gparted, this time only leave 1 Gb for ext4. Dont install Setcpu and dont manually set vdd levels for kernel. See if it lags before any apps are installed. If it doesnt try restoring apps with Titanium and see again. Since you do have 10 posts, why dont you continue this qn in StarBurst thread? Please dont PM me. I rarely if ever check these!
Btw..you can also flash the Leedroid 2.2f from Kernels section of my site. It's known for its better battery life.

If your previous installation worked fine, no need to wipe. If you are coming from another Rom, you definitely need to wipe

LeeDroid Problem

Hi everyone i rooted my phone last night for the first time with LeeDroid, all that seemeed to happen was that it went back to the way i got the phone in the first place
I dont have Market, and if im honest i have no idea what to do
Can anyone help at all please ?
Thanks
Phil
Would i be better just downloading the 2.4 rom and trying that ?
How will i know that the ROM is installed correctly as like i said before it just seems like a new phone i got straight out the box ?
thanks
When you flashed the ROM did you do a full wipe? and Dalvik Cache too?

Can you help ? thanks
That is a successful flash mate by the looks of it. Of course you lose all apps and settings after flash, and as far as I know leedroid is a sense Rom, so it looks very similar to what you got out of the box, but now you can mod it and flash different kernels and scripts, like data2ext.
Oh, and regarding market, just search for market apk and install it the way you'd install any app.

LeeDroid looks and feels like a stock rom but with added extra bits, and speed.
you can overclock or underclock with setcpu run rooted apps.
the good thing about LeeDroid is that it looks familiar so it's a good starter rom to play about with. if you want something other than sense try a Miui rom or Redux.
Ive got 2.4 now but i have 2 issues
1. the market force closes when i select an app
2. when adding the htc people widget it lists no people in where they usually

Now my SD card is saying Mounted Read only ?
any ideas ?
did you make an ext partition and a full wipe?
I don 't have any issues with this rom
Yes and i just tried to go back to delete and redo a new partition but its not showing only my pc is ???
i just reset it and now im getting the leedroid background i wasnt getting before , ive had to setup everything back from the beginning , facebook passwords etc
market is now working but im still getting the mounted read ony error
Either corrupt card or bad partitioning. Just partition it in recovery and search for ext align tool on Baadnewz blog. Google is your friend.
If partitioning doesn't help, try different card.

ok sorted that last issue but how will i know if ive partitioned the sd card correctly ?
ive got a 16gb one and it says total space 13.75 & available space 13.47gb
and on the internal it only says 129mb
why is this ?
What was the fix for the last issue? If you don't provide full info we won't know where it could have fine wrong.
Sent from InsertCoin 2.0.1
tinky i partitioned it as you said in recovery but then i couldnt get past the loading screen with the joker on it aftwerwards
So i went back into recovery and i had to do a restore that was the only way i got it working and the memory card issue also vanished
Now its working properly should i backup my current ROM in ROM manager ?
what else do i need to do to make sure i dont **** it up in future ?
Also how will i know if ive partitioned the sd card correctly ?
ive got a 16gb one and it says total space 13.75 & available space 13.46gb
and on the internal it only says 116mb
How much space you assigned to ext? Also, not all roms support ext4, so if you did use align tool, then quite possibly that your Rom just can't see ext partition. Solution, partition again but this time don't use align tool which will convert any ext partition to ext4.
Regarding not loading after partitioning that is sort of expected, restore done the trick for you. Regarding not getting into this situation again, once you get it right just use recovery to do nandroid and ext backup, and keep it safely on pc, in case you need to change SD card. Then you just partition new card and do restore.

Anyone having issues on the latest Leedroid 2.4 with apps that have been updgraded from in-app billing?
Have one app (quota) which is now disabled due to the fact that the upgrade is now in progress whereas it worked fine on 2.3d.
The app dev suspects it is ROM and market related as other stock ROM users haven't had the same issue.

hTC Desire keeps freezing after on rooted ROMs

Hey guys.
A while ago I`ve rooted my hTC Desire and did an S-OFF, to be able to install custom ROMs.
I`ve "tested" a few custom ROMs, but none of them seemed to be stable.
Currently I`m on SuperNova_Classic_2.0.2.0 with built in Data2SD (iData2SD)(the idea is to have a stable rooted ROM, with DATA2SD and Sense), but every time I flash the rom, then install my fav apps, the phone keeps freezing at certain points, sometimes it runs OK for a week - with no freezing - other times it freezes in the first couple of days after ROM flash. I`ve tried not to install that many apps, but I`m still facing this freeze problem.
Has anyone experienced this before?
Here are the steps I took for ROM flashing
1. Created a 1GB ext4 partition on SD-CARD, preceded by a FAT32 partition(as required in the tutorial of Supernova)
2. Rebooted into Recovery - wiped data/factory reset; wiped cache partition; wiped Dalvik Cache
3. Installed the ROM zip file from SD-CARD; on first boot, except for the Wi-Fi connection, I haven`t touched anything(google accounts etc. - skipped all steps - ), waited for the system to stabilyze, then did a normal reboot in order for the DATA2SD function to work. After next reboot, DATA2SD was working properly(I even had the pink LED light up), Storage Information was showing the 1GB ext partition as an internal memory.
4. Installed all my apps, configured phone, widgets etc.
This way, at a certain point, the phone simply freezes, have to remove the battery to be able to use it again.
Here are my phone specs:
Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANel-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
Transcend class 4 - 16GB microSD card
I`ve searched and searched on xda-developers, but haven`t found an answer for my problem, yet.
What am I doing wrong here?
Any help would be DEEPLY appreciated !!!
This is no help to you.... but I'm having exactly the same issue.
Sometimes it freezes when starting a game, but most of the time it won't unlock(ie phone unresponsive when I try to wake it).
This is not ROM related as it happened on several different Roms, with a full wipe between. I'm not overclocking.
The only things I can think of are:
-Partially corrupt ext partition on SD.
-failing hardware.
-some other sw issue ie radio(which has worked for a while before this started happening).
Thanks for your reply, Shaun - it does help, at least now I`m not alone in this
You`re right, it`t not ROM related, I`ve tried different ROMs myself, same problem.
I`ve also tried another SD CARD (class 2).
I don`t think it`s the radio, I have the latest version, the version required on Supernova tutorial for best compliance.
I really don`t want to believe that it`s a hardware fault, as I didn`t overclock either and always read/followed the exact right/official steps in root-ing/flashing ROMs.
I`ve reinstalled Supernova now, with absolutely no additional installation of fav apps. Going on 2 days with no freezeing, so far.
I`ll keep post-ing if any new developments occur.
Cheers.
You've not installed any apps at all? hmmm.
When you do re-install your apps(I assume from Titanium backup?), it'd be interesting to see if it starts freezing again.
This would then suggest either a dodgy app that we both have, or titanium backup itself causing the issue.

I'm using the same card that i've had for the last 18 months-
it's an 8gb class 2 card with 768mb partition, the rest is Fat32.
I`ve started reinstalling some of the apps, the most important ones, like iGo, YahooMessenger, YahooMail, etc., but didn`t use Titanium Backup, installed them manually using Market.
So far, so good, no freezing.
My SD CARD specs: Transcend Class 4 - 16GB; 1GB ext2 partition for apps, and the rest is FAT32.

I could be wrong, but from what I`ve seen so far, I would recommend NOT to use widgets that require superuser permissions. Also, before flashing any pre-rooted ROM, be sure to turn "Signature verification" OFF, in the phone`s "Recovery" screen options. If your ROM has any kind of "Data2SD" scripts integrated, after flashing ROM - at first boot, DO NOT configure anything (google account, sync, etc.), DO NOT download/install any apps yet, ONLY enter the Wi-Fi settings(if that is the case); leave the system to stabylize, then do a normal reboot(if the ROM supports "Fast boot" - turn it OFF before rebooting). At second normal boot, the DATA2SD scripts should kick in ( u should see the phone`s notification LED turn to: pink or blue - depending on the script used by the ROM).
A class 2 is a definite no no for Data2sd IMHO. Class 4 is debatable. I had a bit of lag with an older version of data2sd on a class 4. It may be better now, Depends what speed the card writes at really. If its minimum for class (4 MB/s) that could be a bit touch and go. EXT 4 would be the best option for the 2nd partition
I recommend using an a2sd+ solution temporarily to see if the freezes go away
I would mind the lag, I didn`t get any lag using my card though, but just saying, would mind if it would be laggy, the real problem is the constant freezing I`ve had.
If it`ll freeze again, I think I`ll go back to stock Froyo, use Apps2SD and install only the bare minimum.
U know, another thing I never quite understood, I think hTC makes one of the best smartphones on the market, but they limit their possibilites with small batteries and very little internal storage space. What`s up with that?

I'm not using Data2SD. I'm using A2sd+. Same partition that I used on my Hero, and now my Desire for the last 14 months. Still getting freezes.
I don't think it's a speed issue.
a2sd should be fine on a class 2. What a2sd solution is it? Did you move dalvik too?
Its just a logical approach thats needed.
1) Eliminate the SD card by not running from it.
2) Change the rom
3) RUU
If after all that it still freezes, sounds like HW....

Yeah that's pretty much what I was thinking.
I'm currently on InsertCoin with A2SD+. I was on LeeDroid, then RunnyMede before that with the same issue. I did a full wipe when swapping Roms. Not sure about Dalvik- if it's done in the Rom then yes, otherwise I haven't consciously moved it.
1) I might try a different SD that i have lying around- Nandroid it etc.
2) As above, already done that.
3) Last resort. Although a rooted RUU wouldn't be a massive issue for a day or 2.
If it's HW, I better get some insurance.
Edited to add: my SD card is actually a class 4. SD card tests suggests read speeds of 19-20mb/s and write speeds of 7-9mb/s.
Fixed my issue. It's the Kernel. Apparently the latest 2 kernels have the ability to undervoltage when not in use. Unfortunately, this can also cause the lockups i've(and possibly you've) been experiencing.
The last kernel without this in is: 2.6.35.14_110911.
This has 100% solved my issue and I recommended flashing it if you still having the same issue.
Great.
If I get another freeze, I`ll flash the 2.6.35.14_110911 kernel u`ve recommended.
Thanks a lot, dude.
If ever in Romania, look me up, got a few beers with your name on them

If it`s not too much to ask, could you possibly post a download link for that kernel version?

Did you flash the kernel while on existing ROM, or did you reflash de ROM as well?
And what ROM are u using with this kernel?
try using the earlier versions of super nova and data2sd, I also had the freezing problem but that was AFTER I upgraded to the newest version of supernova and data2sd
I`m using the 2.0.2.0 version, not the latest 2.4.0.0.
Earlier than 2.0.2.0?

Flashed straight over the top. Insertcoin ROM.
Use the latest Supernova and see. It has a pretty good kernel.

[Q] Struggling to get data2sd working right..

Hi everyone,
I'm basically having a hard time trying to get a data2sd rom working on my desire; Its a normal bravo gsm. Over the past couple of days I've tried SuperNova Extreme and Runnymede Rom (I'd really like to get this one to work). I've followed the instructions to a T, and been searching up through various threads and when finding people who've had similar problems, they've had no replies to them.
I'll mention SuperNova as it's the one that I had tried most. I'm running 4EXT Recovery by the way and when I go to install the rom I wipe data, cache, dalvik and battery stats, completely clear it. I then install the zip and ok that goes through fine. I get onto the first boot as informed, proceed to set up the rom and then reboot as told. Its here that when the data2sd is installed and i get onto the second boot, i get bombarded with force closes, 'com.system.android has stopped responding' (something like that, Ive restored my SGBS nandroid) and the whole system is very laggy.
Can anyone shine a light on what i'm doing wrong please?
Thanks!
How did you partition your SD card?

Using Gparted Live, creating the Fat32 first and then creating a 1024mb EXT4 partition after.

Sorry for asking a question. However isn't that for A2SD? and I didn't search through this Q&A section as much as looking on both rom's threads as I thought it was rom specific.
Ok I've tried it again just now, this time with the Runnymede rom and followed a post I found about using the format options in recovery and then finally performing a wipe.
The install went through fine, however on first boot i was greeted with 'Sorry, process com.android.phone is not responding.'
I have no idea why this doesn't want to work, does anyone have any clue?
Cheers
When the phone boots for the first time don't setup/ligin anything. Select language and skip everything else. Then reboot and it will work fine. (Rorked with me, though)

For droidzones RoM am sure you have to use CWM recovery, I will have a quick look now for you.
Edit
Nope I was wrong, your using the right recovery. Only thing I can think of it being is SD card damaged or your partitions are wrong.
Hi,
I appreciate you having a check for me. I had a thought it may be my card, i'm using a class 4 kingston, so maybe a class 6 transcend could be better.
As for partitions, would maybe increasing my EXT4 partition have any effect?
Cheers for all your help so far, i'm determined to get this working!

I partition using Gparted first fat32 primary make sure you also select from the list MB. second ext4 primary and again select MB from the list.
Hi everyone,
I managed to get this sorted out, I think it was my card. I tried another one, a sandisk 4gb (i think class 4 also), and managed to get both roms working no problem. So I re applied the same things to the 16gb Class 6 I ordered and have now got runnymede running perfectly on cm7r2 hboot.
I usually partition using g-parted but when I tried the 4gb I decided to try 4ext recovery's own partitioning features and then checked all the alignment. It seemed to work no problem, however I still got the same issues I had faced on the Kingston card.
So anyone who struggles and comes across this topic, i suggest try another card and these steps i wrote, it worked for me.
Thanks for your replies and help!
