cyanogenmod 7 vs CoreDriod 6.7

hi,
I am trying to install multiple ROMs on my inspire and see which one is better so far I have installed CM7 and CoreDriod 6.7; I felt CM7 is good and faster however when I stalled CoreDriod 6.7, I am noticing very slow response and my inspire is responding very slowly if I do anything, just wondering if others also noticed samething, ...would appreciate your feedback.
Thanks.

CoreDroid and CM7 are apples and oranges, however you shouldn't be having any slowdown issues in CoreDroid. The times I've used it, it has been just as responsive as any other ROM. Sounds like you may have a bad flash - be sure to do a full wipe before installing any ROM (in CWR it is the "wipe data/factory reset" option). Personally I also like to manually format the /system partition since the wipe data option doesn't do this (in CWR the format /system option is under "mounts and storage"). I think during installation many ROMs already format /system anyway though before it starts writing files to this partition.
If you keep having problems with CD after reflashing, just build your post count up to 10 and then you can post in the support thread in the dev section. It is a nice ROM worth checking out.

It is also very important to wipe dalvik-cache by going into (from recovery) advanced- wipe dalvik-cache.

I had to flash and wipe coredroid twice to get ride of leftover cm7
Try leedroid its the most stable for me
Mr.Nun.Ya

Keep in mind that Sense ROMs (coredroid) do a lot of restoring on your first reboot. A lot of your apps are being restored, as well as a lot of your settings. It's usually a little slow at the beginning, but if you give it some time it should stabilize itself. If not, then the other guys are right, it was a bad flash or you didn't wipe correctly.

True, however that is a redundant step. The dalvik cache is automatically wiped when you run "wipe data/factory reset" in CWR (dalvik cache is stored on the /data partition and the /cache partition, both of which get wiped by this command).

After doing a proper wipe and flash to a new Rom I have found it best to do a full restart a few minutes after after the Rom settles down after the first boot-up.

I'm running the latest KJ6 leak, drhonk's KI1 kernel (with root, voodoo, cwm), with dsexton's Adrenaline Shot. I'm sure you'll get different answers from people, though.
Before you flashed, did you do a factory data reset, wipe caches, etc? I've flashed ROMs & had problems that were solved by doing the reset/cache wipes.

Am I doing anything incorrectly?
What would u recommend? I factory reset and reinstall the rom?
and once their are updates what do I do

I've only installed Octane via CWM. Past that, I've never installed a ROM that way. I'd follow Exodian's advice and give either Octane or Valhalla a shot. Both posts for the ROMs should have the proper method of installation.

I don't have a preference of the two. I never tried Valhalla. I tried Octane for about a day until I realized I had issues with the lock screen not working all of the time.
From what I've read a lot of people enjoy both. My suggestion would be to try one, see how well you like it, try the other, test it, see which suits you better

go with Valhalla, i tried them all, but Valhalla seems best for now. ICBINB was great but get laggy after a few days and needed reboot. Later ICBINB had issues here and there.
Valhalla with some build.prop and init.d tweaks runs great for me.
for init.d tweaks, find the "S98tweaks" file and change the freemem value. the last 3 is a little low as set and can cause low mem issues.
this is what i use
"2560,4096,6144,10240,12288,14336"
these build.prop helps

#enable JIT, just in case it's not by default

some of these build.prop settings may be redundant but doesnt hurt to have duplicates

Newest ROMs

I don't know if I am doing something wrong, or if I'm skipping a step. In the past two weeks, I have tried Catyrom, Numas, Fusion XII, Dlev Rom, and have had problems with bootlooping, won't boot at all, and needing 3 or more tries with the 3 button technique to get to recovery. I am not new to flashing at all, and I am not touting any rom over another. Just wondering if anyone else has had these issues. The rom I keep goingback to has had no issues at all. I like the way it runs, but am itching to flash new stuff.
Could it be the Core A2 kernel? The UCKK4 modem?
Curious and befuddled!

I don't see how you would bootloop with catyrom or numbas because this are native infuse roms ...not ports llike the others....are you wiping data, cache, and dalvik cache?

When on the Catyrom, I had something happen that I've never seen. everything was running well, until I tried to use "Display/ Fonts/" to change system fonts. Then it would freeze up, go to a black screen, with an Android in the top left corner and a message in yellow "kernel error".
The other roms seem to have a problem with the GB Core A2 kernel.
And yes, I always do a complete wipe of data, cache and dalvik!
I am really confused, but will keep trying. Funny thing, every time I go back to Sensation 1.1 with UCKK4 and Core A2, it runs beautiful.

Next time I flash, I may try the following, in this order: wipe data, then cache, THEN go to mounts/storage and format system, then clear DALVIK Cache.
It worked on DoctorZ rom, it may do the trick for these others!

Not sure if you knew but this was a documented bug in Caty. Last I checked no one had found a reason or fix yet
Edit: my apologies dman, perhaps I am remembering what I read incorrectly. sorry!

That's funny...first I heard...not 5 min ago I changed fonts with no issue whatsoever

[Q] cyanogenmod7

First post! Hopefully it's in the correct place!
Anyways,
I have rooted my phone using the ACE Hack Kit. Once that was completed I wanted to use the cyanogen ROM(recommend from a friend). I fully wiped from phone and then ran the cyanogen zip. Everything is fine until I use my phone for an extended period of time(for instance when I'm trying to set up my phone). For some odd reason my phone will freeze and I will be forced to take my battery out. From what I've read/understand I have done everything properly. Is there anything that I possibly missed or have not done that will cause these random freezes?
Thank you,

You or anyone wouldn't happen to know off hand if the kernel is UVed or OCed? This sounds like a UV or OC problem. Its an easy thing to fix if it is and I find that's is always best to rule out the easy stuff first! Some phones don't like to be UVed or OCed at all and freezes like this sometimes are caused by exactly that, UV or OC.
edit: and oh yeah, WELCOME! If you really like CM ROMs, give absolution a try (at the very least, if you or someone doesn't know if the kernel is UVed or OCed, you're be using a ROM I'm familiar with and if the problem persists on this ROM, diagnosing the a UV or OC problem should be fairly simple and I'll know how to get that fixed quickly for you since I haven't used the straight CM ROM in quite some time!) Actually come to think of it, did you check the md5 number? you could have downloaded a bad link causing a bad flash. It's rare most of the time but I have seen it happen..

If you havent downloaded any apps and dont mind reflashing the ROM just down load the full wipe place in ROOT (No Folder) of SD Card go into recovery.
Full Wipe (DO NOT RENAME AFTER DOWNLOAD)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CJPE5CB7
1. Choose zip from SD Card (Full Wipe 1.5) and Install
2. Choose zip from SD Card (Cyanogen ROM) and install
3. Reboot system and enjoy.
I dont like to do the wipe cache, wipe dalvik whatever method, the zip 1.5 does a full wipe all on its own. Its an EXT4 Wipe so I use it for all EXT4 ROMS that I like to try out.
!!!WARNING: When you flash the full wipe do not exit recovery without installing your ROM. So make sure that when you enter into recovery thru Rom Manager to reflash make sure that you have both (Full Wipe Zip) and (Your ROM Zip) on your SD Card before installing.
I tried cyanogen and completed hated it. Absolution is the Bomb!!! But to each their own flavor.
ENJOY

@reponse
First off, thank you for the responses!
@MMM-BACONSTRIPS
I do not know if the rom is OCed or UVed(had to look up those). Here's the link to the page where I downloaded it from. Also, I did not check the md5 numbers.

So far today it hasn't froze on me. However, if it does it again I'll def look at some different roms (absolution & puregandroid)

I did full wipe(I don't remember if the version was 1.5) before I installed the rom. If anything. I'll try absolution and puregandroid.

Not a problem man! Be aware though with the 1.5 wipe that it DOES format your system and data to EXT4, and if I'm not mistaken if you make a back-up on EXT 4 and then format back to EXT 3, it will not work and the same applies for vice versa. If you do end up trying Absolution just drop on by the Q & A if the freezing problem persists, I or one of the devs will try to give you hand the best we can..feel free to PM if you go with Absolution

So does the 1.5 wipe SDCard also? will EXT4 end up being a problem? Also, will do! I really appreciate the help!
I'll def give absolution a shot!

No, if you use the full wipe it pretty much just does the wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache in one flashable zip. I typically use the 1.5 then wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. It is completely overkill and really not necessary but I do it just the same. No, EXT4 should no cause a problem. I'm pretty sure that almost all the ROMs are now EXT4 supported. I believe it would say it if it wasn't at this point. I know the major ROMS (ARHD, CD, Bindroid, MIUI) are all compatible with EXT4. The only issues you will find with EXT4 is the issue I mentioned in my first post and if you want to use gene's tool to unroot.

Welcome to xda and yes I had the same problem I was setting up setcpu and I sneezed and I accidentally pushed it all the way over to 1.9 and my phone didn't like it it just froze...I was worried :/ so I turned my phone back on and went into setting and forced setcpu to close (mind you it took a few restarts lol) but yes I had let it reset itself and now it's working again I just need to remind myself to do a nandroid once a day xD hehe

No problem we are here to help each other. Usually if I want to get back to EXT3 I just flash the rooted ATT gingerbread ROM (PD98 zip) in hboot.

I believe there is a 1.3 wipe that formats to ext 3 again, just in case the OP wanted to format to ext3 before flashing a new ROM as opposed to flashing a new rom and then having to wipe and then flash again.

Cool Thx I'll do s search for the 1.3. It be good to have.

VRBLK1 Full Wipe vs No Wipe in Odin

Since the New TouchWiz JellyBean leak dropped, we quickly found out that the Rootdebug method no longer works for rooting...Not a big deal as developers rolled back to our grass roots and used the original Odin method to achieve root. My only issue is with the suggestion to flash a modified No Wipe image of the stock K1 leak...Im not sure if I agree with this. I have dirty flashed with Odin in the past and things appeared to work fine on ICS, but stepping up to JellyBean seems to be different!
Point is since the leak has dropped many folks complain of media server causing battery drain, I was one of them. So I decided to odin back to stock using the rooted FULL WIPE VRBLK1 version by Mr. Robinson...and I have had substantially less battery drain!!! Battery life is currently at 15hrs with 65% left...2 hrs screen on.
I would suggest to anybody that flashed a no wipe image in odin and is having issues with media server draining the battery, and/or any other issues appear, try flashing the FULL WIPE version! As others have said, I believe the problem is a corrupted file on the internal sd causing the issue. Also a few other small issues I was having appears to be fixed, such as touch screen being unresponsive at times...also gps seems to lock faster. Anybody else noticing the same??

This is interesting. I did the no wipe to the newest leak and I felt it was horrible. Battery for me was not as good and the phone was always hotter. So I went back to J1 leak. If I get time I might try the full wipe version of the newest leak. Try the theory out.
As an addition, my CPU was always acting crazy. Random low frequency locks (would not ramp up). Sometimes it would stay high, probably the cause of the warm phone. And weird battery drain from the system I just could not explain.
Thanks for this and as I said I'll try fresh after the weekend. Holiday weekend is my family time.

I did full wipe and everything is great except gps.

I did a no wipe version moving from J1 to K1, what I saw was the RAM footprint increase by 50%...
I did the full and footprint went back to what I recognized on J1...Barry seems as good or better than J1 too

Did you use the full wipe or no wipe version in odin? Thats the point of this thread...no wipe seems to be causing a foul odor with media drain and random issues for folks. The full wipe leaves you so fresh and so clean!!

Thats good! Im not saying everybody is going to have issues with the no wipe version...most likely its going to be folks that have flashed a bunch of roms and accumulated alot of folders/files on the internal SD. The point is if you are one of the unfortunate folks thats having issues, try the FULL WIPE version.

My phone seems a little laggy which I did not experience on the first leak. I don't not have the typical problems people have with flashing the no wipe version... That's what I flashed. Thinking of trying a factory reset but this thread makes me wonder if flashing the wipe version might be better? What's the difference though? Both wipe and no wipe are from the same file, right?

Full Wipe will repartition the Internal SD and wipe rom data...this will get rid of any corrupted files that reside on the internal. Its the same principal as reformatting and installing windows. Dirty Flashing writes your data over the top of data and nothing else in the internal sd is touched...not saying dirty flashing is bad, I do it alot, but when wierd issues arise, 90% of the time a Full Wipe with Odin fixes things.

I have just realized that the hotspot is broken. Every time I try to turn it on, it force closes Settings. Anyone else having this problem?
EDIT: So I downloaded a hotspot toggle widget, and it works fine. I only have a problem if I try to enable hotspot via Settings. Interesting.
