I am not responsible for any damage to your device. I am a novice Developer learning along the way. Not all my changes are beneficial to our device. I learn of the issues rather quickly and try to fix them promptly.

You should have some knowledge of rooting and flashing ROM's before attempting. This is not for the novice user. If you have issues it is most likely a bad flash, hardware issue, or some ghost left in your device. These phones are stubborn and like to fight change. Flashing nightlies tend to fix stubborn issues.

If you have issues please provide logs. This will help determine issues.

For issues that don't lead to reboots:

Easy way:

download alogcat from market.

Run app

Reproduce the issue

Save the log in alogcat

Paste the output to pastebin.com, submit and paste the resulting URL to the thread with a brief description

Random reboots

Open Terminal Emulator app

type:

su

cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/kmsg.txt

You will find the kmsg.txt on the root of your SD card.

Paste the resulting log to pastebin.com, submit, and paste the resulting URL to the thread.

Multi-touch patch

I said I wouldn't create this. I decided to do it because others are creating it without warning of potential damage. There is a high risk of damaging your display with this. Our phone was not design for multi-touch. It surges the the connections in the display and renders them useless. I will not support this patch. I only created it and am now releasing it with a warning.

BRAVO !!!

At what interval would you recommend a first time install, when already doing nightlys ?

ngiordano

Full wipes should be performed regularly. When you don't feel things are right or sluggish. My phone never feels sluggish because I wipe often. I do it to make sure everything is working properly without the previous rom effecting it. Restoring and downloading apps doesn't take me long. In fact I enjoy fresh installing and setting up.

Double0EK

I too enjoy a fresh flash now and again. And reverting back to stock and rooting just to clarify that ts a clean install. I guess just for s&gs..

@ngiordano I finally got the chance to update to 2.3.5 last night... :-)... I have not had any reboots so far, and i restored all my apps including ADW EX... So it seemingly wasn't the battery or an app issue, i think the prob was that some old files were probably stuck. So i guess the multiple wipes using factory reset, superwipe and going into advance and wiping each area separately did the trick. Now i am rocking #63 jumped from #48 runs great, my phone is always cool.... still gonna order a new battery soon though and switch out this one into my XT.

Thanks for your help bro!!!

I had reboots and found a solution (at least for me)

The history

- From #4 to #50, I just update over current CM version without wipping and had no reboot problems. (OK)
- Update from #50 to #55 the same way (Random Reboots)
- First Time Install method to install #55 (OK)
- First Time Install method to install #58 (Random Reboots)

After some trial and error test, I could not determine what was causing the reboots.
I read that it coluld be a battery problem and I noticed thath every time my phone reboot, it was hot.

First attempt was left the phone off over night and try to turn on in the morning without success... reboot.. reboot.. reboot...

Reinstal #58 using First Time Install method and problem solved... at least for first days... then suddenly random reboot appear again.
Same symptom, the phone is hot.

Before attempt to reinstall #58 or upgrade to another, I just tried to Fix Permissions from recovery.. and..... Voila!!! The phone starts whitout problem!

Something I noticed is that the process takes much longer than when I Fix Permissions using First Time Install method.

Hope this could help to find & repair reboot issue, or at least help someone else.

Thanks for this great room Team Rogue!!!

ngiordano

Thank you for that input. I'll recommend it to people with the same issue.

http://pastebin.com/X0wZfGZ0

TIA

djmurphix

hey how can i ge tthe android animation to work? i tried checking and unchecking in the cyanogen settings inside the settings but still nothing. i rebooted restarted turned off power off and still nothing. it was working on before. im on nightly (#latest one lol) i update everynite before i go mi-mis on my couch. any tricks to get it to work? or is it working for all u other users? THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(does it have to do with the kernal?) idk sh!t about nothing so work wit me... :D

ngiordano

@HectorAlfonso did you do any kind of restoring? If so what? I see some errors you shouldn't be getting.

If not reflash the rom and gapps wiping dalvik then fix permissions.

@djmurphix it works sometimes. It's finicky. The Cliq/Dext has a shared gpu. It causes some issues with graphics and animation in gingerbread. I'm trying some things but...

HectorAlfonso

Not at all but i did no format my SD only the ext partition (to keep my music and pics)

ngiordano

You shouldn't need to format the SD. Try what I posted.

Good night everyone. I work in couple.

hwjrmrm

JuanDie90
