[Q] Running Slow....

I have had Hienz 57 running for about a month now and it seems to be running really slow. Even while doing the smallest things like typing it will be a couple letters behind. Anyone have any ideas. I have cleaned all the app caches and deleted what I don't use any more but still slow.

Rebooting usually fixes this for me

That sometimes works but I was kinda looking for a more permenent solution. Would wiping the cache or dalvik possibly help?

you got voodoo enabled. what are your settings like...maybe you just need to re-odin then reflash the ROM and stuff...sometimes phones just need a fresh start

^Agreed. I can't count the times if done that. Mostly after I have went through five or so kernels but none the less it can't hurt and I haven't done it yet and regretted it.

There's a formatting utility here:

I used the ext4 (voodoo) version and it worked great. I know they mean nothing, but I was getting 1500-1600 Quadrant scores before I ran it (still with voodoo), and I'm getting 1700-1800 now.

That's the one I used today and it is freakin sweet. An excellant tool.

Yes I have voodoo enabled. I have not changed any voltage settings yet. When you say to re-odin are you saying to flash back to stock ec10 and then reflash the hienz 57? Still learning the terminology. I did go from the voodoo kernel to hienz without a fresh start. I also didn't wipe the data but for the first few weeks it ran awesome. I have also had a few half reboots. Like it would go to the android logo but not all the way to the samsung logo

+1 works great

Thinking of trying this but did you have the cwm 3 or just the 2.5.x? Also can I just flash the H57 zip and be back up and working?

Ran the utility and worked great. Have more memory too so the tons have been staying behind a little. Phone is much smoother and faster.

Normally i have zero issues with lag, however as of late I've had some slight issues with lag as well, even with lagfix enabled - to remedy it I simply enabled the 1120 overclock step and it's been fast ever since (and not too bad on the battery)

I just happened to be browsing the Sd card since I just dl the newest H57 and noticed that after formatting I dont have the android secure folder. Is this a problem or will it create a new one?

Replaced battery now FC galore.

When i picked up my charge i also got the desk cradle with the extra battery. Yesterday at work i was listening to music and drained the battery pretty quickly so i swapped in the extra battery. Once i rebooted i started getting a bunch of FC's. I'm getting ones for Google Services Framework, messaging, android.processes.acore and one or two others i can't remember. I reflashed GC and still get the errors. Anyone have any idea why this would happen after swapping batteries and how to fix this?

It just happens sometimes. Ill have to do this once every 3 months or so. Hope you made a backup...If you have the EXT4 formatter saved then just mount all in CWM, wipe all user data, dalvik, cache, etc. Then run EXT4 formatter, then flash GC. If you don't have it, you have to restock with the EE4 Odin and PIT, then reflash GC.

Happened to me a week or so ago, huge pain because I hadn't backed up in a while but it took me about a day or two to get all my apps back in order. In all honesty though it was one of the most annoying things that could happen. Had to redownload a ton of my apps and all the apps I had backed up were outdated(like ColorNote, I lost like 4 notes because it was an old backup). Happened totally out of the blue, I just rebooted the phone because apps weren't installing and I got spammed with FCloses. Not even a factory reset/cache/Dalvcache worked I had to flash the .pit/ee4factory.md5 to get my phone working again. PAIN IN TEH ASH.

Well son of a batch of cookies. That was my last resort but i suppose i will give that a shot this evening and report back to ya.

I finally got around to restoring my phone using the EE4 ODIN. I had no idea it was going to take over an hour to do, lol. Anyway, the flash completed and passed so I unplugged the USB cable, pulled the battery, but now I can't get the phone to turn on. Is there something else that I screwed up?

It should have not taken an hour. If you flashed without the battery try flashing again with the battery in.
Also make sure you are using the PDA button.. not phone. Flash will show pass if you use phone but it will not boot.

Yep that was the mistake i made. I was in a rush to get my phone back up and running before i went to sleep that i accidently used the phone option. I reflashed using PDA and all is well. Now i just have to reroot.

I dont know if you were rooted and on a rom already but for future ref., when this happened to me I just went into CWR, fixed permissions, wiped cache and dalvik, rebooted and bam the FClosing stopped. my wifes phone on the other hand I had to just go into CWR and flash the rom over again and it cleared the problem rather than going through ODIN.

I was rooted and running GC 1.9.1. I went into CWR and tried wiping just the cache and dalvik as well as flashing the rom again and I couldn't get the FC's to stop. Thanks for the info, I'll keep this in mind next time this happens.

I was on GC 1.9 when my mega galore of FC's started happening too, my end result was a replacement phone from Verizon... I really don't know what happened or why. It just randomly happened under normal use.

Wow, that kinda sucks. They didn't say anything about the phone being rooted? They gave me hell for trading my rooted D2G for my charge.

No because I flashed a bone stock ED1 with no root and nothing at all on the phone, I even had a blank 2GB SD Card in it.

Same happened to me. Yesterday I just clicked on camera and got a force close, then froze. Pulled battery, then everything was force closing. Only thing that would function was browser. Flashed everything, wiped data, you name it. Nothing has worked for me.

Did the rom you were running have journaling turned off by default?? If so, any improper shutdown will result in data corruption.

It depends on the level of data corruption I suppose. As an aside, roms should really be released with journaling enable or at least have that option. The slight speed increase is not worth the hassle IMO.

When it happened to me one the first things I tried was wiping cache and nothing worked. If you follow kv's advice and that doesn't work then the only other method would be to odin back to stock and start fresh. I did have one fc for android.processes.acore but I can't remember what I did to cause or replicate it. The only thing I'm having trouble with now that I rerooted the phone is that I cannot get back into CWR. I flashed the latest version and was able to get in to flash gc and everything else but now when I try to get in it locks up on the samsung logo.
EDIT: I wasn't able to get past the Samsung logo no matter what I tried. I ended up having to odin back and start fresh....again.

[Q] Anyone Seen This Before?

Had to swap out my Charge this weekend. I am running DroidXcon's EE4 rooted Odin. All is working well EXCEPT !!
I go into settings/sound and if I try to change either my calls or notifictaion ringtones it craps with the error process com.android.settings has stopped / force close.... so I can't change my ringtones.
Any suggestions/help greatly appreciated

Try flashing another rom. Don't forget to wipe first.
It could be a settings.apk issue, but hard to tell.

caught me off guard cuz it's the same rom I used before on other phone. when you say don't forget to wipe first, are you saying to flash back to stock rom first?
What rom would you suggest I flash to? only concern is basic root for Open Garden wifi tether ...

As is usually the case 90% of the time, it was operator error. Since I've used it before and knew it was a good ROM, I decided to work backwards since the flash. I defrosted all that I froze with TiBu and it started working again.
Oddly enough, I re-froze all the same stuff and it still works. When I froze one of the music/sound related appz, it must've thrown a glitch into the works.
Bottom line all is good. Figured I'd toss this up in case anyone experiences similar issues.

Good..sounds like you got it.
Gummy roms are good. I'm running Gummy Charged GBE 2.0RC1.5 right now and I like it alot.
Haven't had any problems with the Humble roms either.

[Q] Rewinding sound while speaking.

Hi, I recently started messing around with my sgs4g and installed a custom rom using the GB Stater Pack and flash the KJ6 AOSP, everything is working flawlessly except that everytime I'm talking to someone I suddenly hear a rewinding-kind of sound and the other person can hear it too, it happened to me using octane rom, stock GB update and AudiophileFTW edition, can someone please help me get rid of that sound it's getting really annoying, I would really appreciate any help given. Thanks in advance

dude, you hurt your hardware.
Go back to stock KD1, and see if you still have the issue, If you do, go to the tmobile store.

If I Odin the stock one the rewinding sound goes away, I already did that, but I really want to try a few custom roms because the battery consumption of the stock one is awful.
I have 2 galaxy s 4g both of them are having the same problem one is running the kj6 aosp and the other one is running stock gingerbread leak rooted

Weird issue. I know you didn't mention it in the OP, but are you over or under-clocking at all?
I'm somewhat with airflup on this - it seems to be a hardware issue. I am saying that based on the fact that I've not heard of anyone else having this issue on GB ROMs. It could be something funky with one of the chips in the phone but only manifests in the GB ROMs. It's weird but not unheard of.
I've not attempted this so someone tell me I'm an idiot for thinking about this, but what if you flash a stock GB ROM followed by the modem from KD1 or whatever Froyo ROM you're using to see if the problem is still there?

If you have the same issues on 2 different devices, you should redownload the roms(cwm and odin), maybe its a download issue i.e. mds5 error
Tell me if that works

As of today I have rooted my phone with different methods, re-downloaded everything, used different versions of Odin, went back to stock, install official GB, it's still doing it, also with the stock Gingerbread leak I noticed that besides the rewinding nose every 4-5 minutes, also the call log doesn't work and while I was watching a movie at work the phone light stayed lit during the whole film... I don't know what to do, is either go back to stock and recharge my phone every 4 hours or go back to kj6 aosp and deal with that annoying sound ..

Kernel is stock no under nor overclocked, btw what's the modem's role on the galaxy s 4g can this be the issue, I have never changed it but what if I do, can it help in any way, thank for all the help...

The modem is the radio for your phone to communicate with the cellular service. People change the modem file to see if they get better speeds in their area. Check the dev section, there's a whole thread containing just the modem files to flash.
I don't know if it will makea difference but it certainly couldn't hurt to try.

[Q] help with infinity rom.....

i have been having issues using the infinity rom when multitasking. for example when i am using pandora thats all i can do. if i try browsing or anything while on pandora my phone freezes and restarts. and everytime i try to overclock it to 1.3ghz it freezes and restarts as well.. this is the process i am using to flash this rom.
1. coming from teawstock v1.4 (latest build), pb&j kernel, tweakstock is already ext4... right.. but thanks to imnuts, he provided the proper conversion tools needed in case i were to be RFS... lol, thanks buddy for this rom in advance. i have flashed everything available for this phone and your rom is by far my favorite... hahaha. i will post a screen capture of my quadrant standard to show you how much ive tweaked my ****.. lol. i think my last benchmark was around 2360...
2. data foctory reset/ wipe cache/ dalvik
3.mount system
4.flash rom/TSM parts, love the TSM parts by the way!!!!!
5. reboot phone.

Can you OC to that level on a different ROM? Your phone just may not be able to go that high.

@stebomurkn420 & @nailem
I guess I can't tell you to use the non-tsm rom then eh? I find TSM to be too buggy and cause more problems than extra goodies, plus theming can edit just about any part of your phone on any Rom, icons, statusbar, you name it.
Anyway whenever I flash a new rom I always revert back to stock with the charge.pit file to make absolutely sure that my partitions are set up correctly. A little more time consuming than just wiping data but I have never had an issue jumping from one Rom to the other.
To make sure I was back to ext4 since I was flashing from stock straight into InfinityRom, I flashed Imosey's kernel (which has lagfix) and autoconverted me to ext4, then once my phone booted with ext4 I just wiped and flashed PB&J kernel again. Nice and quick, flashing the kernels to get me to ext4 took all of about 3 minutes. Now I have InfinityRom, PB&J (w/ the awesome advanced sound tweaks), and no lag. If you wanna give it a shot I can help shoot you some links for all the files I mentioned.
Also be careful not to OC too high, there is a point of diminishing returns.

cliMACtic, yes that would be great. I found the updated infinity rom but have never returned my phone to stock. Links and a little instructions would help. Thank you
