[CM7] Random Reboots

I know this isn't where i should post this but my Post Count is to low to post in the development forum. I installed RC 0.4 of CM 7 with a full wipe from .3 and up until last night everything was working fine (except the 4g/3g hand-off). Last night out of the blue it started random rebooting/boot looping. I plugged it in and went to bed. When i woke up it was on and some of my launcher settings were reset but other than that it was ok. Then today I have been experiencing more random reboots. Anyone else with this issue?

Can't post in the dev area yet either
I've had CM7 RC4 on for 3 days now and I haven't experienced any reboots yet but I'm not in a 4G area. Did you mess with the overclocking settings? Try to drop it down to 1GHz and see if that helps. Are you on the stock radio? I have mine on stock radio and it seems to work well.

I didn't overclock it any. I did use setcpu to check to make sure that that it was limiting itself to 1Gh thought, but i didn't touch anything else. My radio is the stock MR1 radio 1.16.00.0402w_1. I switched kernels to KangBang's most recent version for now, the random reboots became to much to handle.

You need go back older radio 223r, I have no problem with CM7 RC0.4 and none reboots. The CM7 author stated says use 223r radio.

I highly recommend The stock radio images. All the testing up to this point is based on 1.16.00.0223r Baseband

I read in the forum that you need to be 402w or before.
here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14692504&postcount=5024

Keep in mind that the stock setting for the new release is 1.8GHz in the performance settings. I heard this stock setting was causing some problems for some.

JBass, you gave me link is not CM7 author.
You need read again - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13179476&postcount=1

I know that it wasn't from the dev but I guess I'm naive for believing the internet

Now its supported,

CM7 - post your best choice nightly here

To help sort out good nightlies from buggy ones, please post your best choice CM7 nightly here. This will help others who want to test nightlies to try out good ones for best time utilization.

CyanogenMod-7-110819-1459-NIGHLY-Jordan
I prefer this one.
Battery consumption is very high, 12 hours maximum.

Happily using 0826, no issues. Its pretty hard to have a decisive recommendation as users are running so many different apps and configurations..

last boot179-4 1650-i forgot date...august ???

This seems to the correct thread to ask this question. I have tried few nighties randomly dome are very stable and some are not. But none of them have given exceptional battery life. Has anyone come across a stable nightly with great battery life.

have you Undervolted? That can give you the battery life you are looking for.

Hi,
I can recommend this version:
cm7-110716-0105-BOOT179-Jordan.zip
This version runs perfekt with very long battery life and works perfekt for me (cam, gps, wlan, battery...). But it is only version 2.3.4. I use this rom since a few weeks and I have no problems.

Ok, even am hunting for that, and i found 110814 wrking very good for me.
Its 2days,5hr, still 55% left
In my case, my sim was 6yrs old, so replaced it with new1 and that has given me better battery.
my configuration: check this thread

And thanks to cm7defy devs for making such a wounderful rom.

...110822 boot179-4 nightly, very stable, works like a charm!

From main CM7 thread:

Besides that, I've tested the 110822-1650 nightly for a week now and I get 4d6h37m (4% left) on battery, love it!
3G and sync always on, a few calls, some surf, mail und sms, say normal use

I really doesn't understand this "myth" of the "best nightly"...
As far as I can tell the development is pretty much straight forward, and the best version is always the last - with bugfixies and new features who will get their bugfixies in a later version.

the best version is not necessarily the last one, we all have seen pretty screwed up nightlies. but now im using 110822 boot179, and i havent noticed any bugs yet, and it runs smooth, no lags, very good battery life.

Software dev is not that straight forward. With an OS it is actually hugely complex and anything changed might have unexpected consequences. The idea of posting here is to ID those ones that get a consistent good report.

I am currently on 110826-2119- NIGHTLY-Jordan.
Can I flash 0822 boot179-4 nightly directly on top of this and clear Dalvik and cache or is there any other procedure.....

jep, can confirm the high battery consumption on this nightly...
but would say that it's not the best rom at all

Well... I wait everyday for the latest nightly... And I can say I'm happy everyday. Haven't seen a sensive decrease in battery life ou system stability in any of the nightlys, only improvements

I update my defy with latest nightly version every ten days; I can't find any obvious issue yet.

not me when 179-4 is uploaded wifi is better, the last have a fix for SD Card .
But it's my Nightly i prefer because i can use Total Recall

i have to correct myself: 110822 boot179 nightly has battery drain issues, i only could last about 14 hours w/ normal use in the last 2 days... but i hear the 110830 is very good. can somebody pls confirm that?

Most stable ROM

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if you guys could recommend a stable ROM I been reading around and it seems like Weapon is the one with the least hiccups. I just want something that is stable, no weird bugs, with good battery and I won't really have to update every week because there has to be things fixed. Let me know. Thanks!
(It's for the GF she doesn't really know how to flash stuff)

CyanogenMod 7.1

Try Ultimate G2X.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103342
- Everything works
- Very stable
- Great battery life
- Beautiful and snappy/quick user interface
- Has the original fully-functional LG camera app
- Based on stock 2.2.2 so all hardware is fully functional and fully supported
This rom is the one I always go back to. It never gives me any issues and everything just works.

If it's for the GF, PLEASE take your time to flash MIUI, it's very simple/stable/customizable.

Maybe it's just me but MMS didn't work on any version over 2.3.3 and I had battery life issues.
Most stable is definitely weapon 2.8 with stock kernel.

All is fine for me. Except sometimes trouble with MMS over wifi but other than that...

Trying Ultimate to get the camera back to basics. Loading it now - is there a kernel you suggest for this, or no?

You don't have to use Ultimate to get your cam back to basics. He offers a separate link for anyone who wants it. Though...can't say if it plays nice with the other roms or not. I've still yet to flash any roms.

Weapon 2.8 with faux's oc/uv kernel has been the best, smoothest, least problematic rom/kernel combo I could find.
Everything works, it's super-smooth, super-stable, and it looks great.
No wifi issues, no weirdness, and fantastic battery life, even while [email protected]
The one-and-only down side is that it has a longer than normal boot time, as the kernel rebuilds the dalvik cache on every boot.

Yeah i agree, got my g2x for about nearly half a year now, the best rom ive ever used is weapon 2.8 with sv kernel faux. No bugs, data works fine, no freezes, heat ups, or battery pulls. Battery is great, from morning til comming home at 3am with 33% still.
But if you love personalizing then get miui, although ii never figured what kernel works for miui though

CM7 Graphical Bug

Has anyone else had problems like this? I'm running nightly 260. I went back to CM 7.1 stable to see if the bug existed in there and it didn't, the battery drain on that rom was pretty bad for me. So I changed back. I tested all then nightlies back to 255 and they also had this glitch. Anyone else experienced this?

Nightlies are never guaranteed to be completely stable. If you want better battery life try changing kernels, installing uv scripts and or use a different radio. These three things greatly contribute to battery life.

I use nightlies 260 since it came out never any problem beside the launcher fc from time to time still running it now still.Try redownloading and reflashing that might. Help

There was a graphical error like this with the beweather app with Absolution (CM based rom) but has been fixed since their latest release. If you really want to use CM ROMs, give Absolution a try. Like Gizmoe said, the nightlies are never guaranteed a stable bet.

[Q] Which ROM for a stable flash/torch app?

I recently got the Blaze4G and it is stock, but in the past I had the Samsung Fascinate and I would flash CM and AOKP onto it and the camera flash and torch apps didn't work with the camera LED. I read on the CM 10 development thread that there is also an issue with the camera flash. Are there any non-stock roms that do not have issues with the flash/torch working well?

You could just install an app from the play store that would give you that functionality. Power toggles is one that comes to mind that works on stock that has a working torch toggle.

No, I mean with the aftermarket ROMs, do any others besides CM 10 have issues with the flash or toggle? I have no problems with the stock Blaze 4G torch

I'm on the latest CM10 Nightly and the included Torch works fine.

No. Don't use the 'stable' build. It's not that stable. Use the latest nightly 3/18.

Why do you say that the stable build isn't that stable? I've been running it and it works fine for me. It's randomly rebooted on me a total of 2 or 3 times though, and I feel like the battery should last longer so I'm keen to hear what you have to say.

That's why I say it's unstable. Random reboots are no longer present and battery life is improved among other things.
Random reboots = unstable lol
I don't fully recall but I believe the SoD was present on the 'stable build' too.

2 random reboots in a few months isn't so bad in my opinion. It's not completely rock solid stable but at least I've never gotten a screen of death. I'm thinking of trying out the nightly but while better battery life does sound very enticing, the screen of death seems like a show stopping problem. It seems safer to just flash the lightning zap kernel to see if it'll improve my battery life. When you say you get the screen of death in the nightly, how often do you get it? How often do others say they get it?

I don't get the SoD in the nightly. Didn't say I did. But I think the issue surrounding the SoD is present in the 'stable' build.
I believe the SoD had something to do with the BLN but I'm not 100% on that. I know a lot went into getting rid of the SoD and I don't think those efforts started until after the 'stable' build. I also had issues (what seems like) back in the day where when I would receive a call the phone would freeze and hot boot (reboot to cyanogenmod bootanimation). I also recall having major battery drain compared to previous nightlies with the stable build and posted my results somewhere - maybe in the CM10 thread. Something like an additional 20-40% faster drain even in standby compared to the nightly just before the stable release - using the same kernel too. Something in the stable release seemed to be the cause, and the very next nightly the issue was addressed (which I think I pointed out in the CM thread also).
I also believe that the 'default' kernel with CM10 has added the interactive governor since the stable build. I don't remember having that before either.
You can flash the LZ kernel (it's awesome) but I think there is or may be an issue with the davlik. I do believe Thomas is already on this - read the LZ thread for more info. I was getting reboots quite often using it with both PA and CM10 - sometimes immediately after boot. That doesn't mean you won't run it just fine 100%, just something to be aware of. Make sure you nandroid before flashing in case you run into any instability.

Ah, the way you worded it I thought you got the SoD. I definitely notice the battery draining quite fast, even on standby just as you said. Sometimes I fully charge it before I go to sleep and unplug it; I wake up and the battery is at 90% (Estimate off the top of my head). Other times I fully charge it to 100% and unplug it, only to have it immediately drop down to 99% and within minutes go down even lower. I'm using the default kernel in the CM10 stable build and I have the Interactive governor (It's default), and my scheduler is CFQ (Also default).
You've certainly convinced me to try out the nightly, I'll have to flash it soon. I'd also like to try out the LZ kernel as it does seem really cool. In what areas did you see an improvement and was it a big difference?

Racings unofficial AOKP + lightning zap = WIN
Snappy snappy, stable(no reboots period), best battery life for any jelly bean ROM I've tried, and the built-in toggle torch works perfectly.
