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.

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?

So I found a trader who's looking for a Droid Charge, but he wants the phone to be completely stock, no root, CWM, or roms of any kind. I am currently running a rooted, lagfix enabled, EE2 rom from imnuts and I want to know the proper steps to fully get the phone back to stock settings with no root, CWM, or anything loaded. Can anyone link me to a guide or just tell me in what order to do things? Thanks!
Before I start I'd just like to say I haven't personally tested this yet, this is just what I've heard on these forums.
First you should disable Voodoo(you always want to do that before flashing) and then flash this

OR this

Again, I haven't personally done this so if I were you I would wait for another response to confirm this before doing anything.
Tried it
I tried the method from the mydroid forum. It worked great despite me being unable to diasble the voodoo for whatever reason (I just wiped everything I could through CWM). I am still a bit worried but I have't received one error or hiccup since reflashing to stock last night. Go for it, super easy.

So when you re-flashed to stock, CWM was removed as well?

I used the my droid world link referenced in the post above. I tried the gingerbread leak and wanted to go back to the old baseband due to bugs. It worked perfectly, it took me back to the way the phone was shipped.
I believe it was. But I haven't tried too load it up since I got the tom back up. Well try in a bit

Would a kernel or a ROM be responsible for random restarts? I ask this because I feel it is my duty to inform the developer.

If you did not wipe data or caches, that could be your culprit. Anyways Altered Beast is a pretty old ROM and has not been updated in a while. There are more recent kernels than that too. Reflash and it should fix your problem.
Good point, although I like the theme, colors, and stuff, it is getting old. What do you suggest for kernel and ROM....I'm ready to try a new combo.

I was on AB when I first came to the Charge (my first smart phone). I Odined over GummyCharged 1.9.1 FE and never looked back. Now I'm part of Team GummyCharged as thread support. I came a long way. Lol.
Check out the developer forum.
Use gummy, eclipse or stock debloated. Gummy has nothing that intrigues me until they release 2.0, stock debloated is cool if you just want a good stock rooted experience and eclipse is a really nice looking version of stock, themed after touchwiz 4. As for the kernel? Just use the latest PBJ non-otb for best battery life.

I have a stock Droid Charge and mine randomly restarts too sometimes, and I've only had my phone a week.
I experience these random restarts a lot when I am using a custom ROM/kernel.
Doesn't matter what ROM I try the random restarts happen. I always wipe factory setting, cache, and dalvik cache before each install.
When I revert back to stock the problem goes away.
If anyone has more info on why these random restarts happen that'd be great.
Have you undervolted? Undervolting by too much seems to be the main cause of freezes and restarts for me.

Do you use Titanium Backup? Overclock or undervolt at all?
I noticed if I keep flashing without going back to stock first it happens to me as well. No matter what kernel. I also wipe and clear setrings
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
Same questions that I asked asxa86. Give me some info to work with please.
Well I mainly used GC w/PB&J which undervolts. So I was thinking my processor just couldn't handle the undervolting but then I just tried GC 2.0 recently which uses a new kernel and I'm still getting the random restarts.
I actually went to verizon today and got them to send me a replacement phone to see if i'm having hardware failure. Which doesn't make sense unless these custom ROMs/kernels are stressing my system more than stock would...
To answer the original question, i do not use titanium back up.
This is my process:
stock ED1 + PIT file flashed with odin
OTA EE4 update
Phone runs completely fine other than the usual laggyness of the stock phone
-root phone using ED1 root flashed with odin
-CWM flashed with odin
-factory rest, cache, and dalvik cache wipe
-install through CWM GC 2.0
everytime there is a new GC I get excited and flash the new ROM to my phone only to experience the random restarts the next day
Well, see if your replacement likes everything better, then you'll know it was your hardware.
Sent from my Droid Charge running GummyCharged 2.0
Ok, replacement phone came in today. I am reverting my old phone back to stock so it can be shipped back to verizon. Once I have my new phone up and running I will install gummycharge and see how everything works.
Just to be safe I had installed gummycharge 2.0 on my old phone and like I thought it would it ended up restarting itself x2 yesterday.
So having acquired the replacement phone and installing GC 2.0 FE on it. The phone went almost a full day with out restarting itself...
Don't know what to do now.

I am experiencing the same issues on Gummy 2.0
My install method is:
Odin 1.9, boot to configuration, then cwm Gummy 2.0.
When I was previously on the Gingerbread Gummy I did not have this issue.
I have been experiencing this issue since I first began doing theses flashes.
I started with gummy 1.8.1 have tried other ROMs and even Gingerbread ROMs. It never fails. I get random restarts. I asked verizon for a replacement phone, got one and tried flashing again....random restart.
My process I stated above.
Need anybody's help!
I rooted back in June, so here's what I had (from memory),
PBJ kernel, voodoo lagfix, and CWM recovery (might be old).
Anyway, I edited the secgps.conf in another post about fixing GPS. I made
a back-up of the original. Anyway, in the other post, he states to reboot,
then it will take awhile but after the first GPS lock, it should work faster.
Well...I rebooted, and it was still way-off...even worse than before. After 10 minutes, I rebooted...then got stuck with the Red Eye at boot.
I took out the battery, plugged back in, etc. Still stuck at Red Eye...even plugged into outlet...letting it go...still that way for over an hour.
Any method of getting in, and just replacing the secgps.conf with the original, then try rebooting? What are my options? Don't want to wipe out everything, especially if I have the voodoo lagfix?
Help! Thanks in advance,
Sara :$

well if it won't boot you can't replace the original file, unless you know about ADB and how to use it... you may need to go back to stock with the PIT file and start over, its not a huge deal and doesn't take long plus the roms out now are way better than the older ones
Dear anoninja118,
I actually let the phone sit for an 3 hours while I worked...it finally got through boot.
However, I thought I had lost root... most of my apps were gone...bloatware came back that I had frozen.... getting force closures on all the apps.
I went into ADB and I still have root (although Superuser app shows no listing ).
I put back that original GPS file rebooted...but nothing..things remained the same as previously stated.
All my files are all intact, have CWM, but it states no voodoo lagfix. Any ideas on how to repair? Can I just switch to another ROM? Keep my files/data?
Thanks,
Sara

well what rom were you running? you could just reflash it (shouldn't need to wipe) to return it to 'normal'... also if root was lost I can upload superuser.apk, just flash it and you'll get root back

Yikes...being new to all this stuff, and I did it a few months back, I don't believe I flashed a ROM. I think I did jt1134's kernel (Root / Voodoo Lagfix / CWM Recovery), then I might flashed the PBJ kernel that was available at that time.
Ironically, I've been having many issues with bluetooth and GPS problems recently, and heard that there was a new Gingerbread update. I wanted to wait for the official release, then have one of the programmer gods make a new kernel/ROM. I am not ready to jump to GB yet, and I want to keep all my files. I backed-up many of my apps with Titanium back-up, and saved via DropBox.
Anyway, I thought about reflashing...but if I do the jt1134 scenario...it's via Odin..won't that erase everything. I guess all my stuff is on the SD card, right?
Thanks so much for helping out a damsel in distress,

yes any Odin flash will wipe all data thats not backed up, if you use titanium backup for apps, export a contact list to your sd card that you can import later and you should be fine you'll just lose settings and things like login info for apps which you will have to set up again after... and yes you could do jt1134's method again or you could just flash debloated rooted stock EE4 in CWM (which will be exactly like what you're using) as well as one of the newer kernels, if you want to go the Odin route I would suggest Gummy FE 2.0 or Humble 1.6 as they are both very stable and tweakable/themeable plus come with all the goodies like root, CWM, custom rom and kernel (however if you wiped data and both caches in CWM you could also just flash the rom .zips right over what you're using instead)
Thanks for helping again. So, if I understand correctly, I could use CWM to get debloated rooted stock EE4, and I would still have my data?
Sorry I got confused with "(however if you wiped data and both caches in CWM you could also just flash the rom .zips right over what you're using instead)". So instead of Odin, I could just use CWM with wipe data and cache to flash a new ROM, correct?
That's what confuses me...when to use CWM and when to use Odin? Oh, should I update to the newest CWM (I hope that's easy) first?
Thanks so much...hate to bug you on the weekend, but I need to get this fixed before Monday for work!

you can use either one CWM or Odin, unfortunately you will lose data no matter what... I only said that you could use CWM instead since you already have it and it might be a little easier that way, but both ways will work

You shouldn't have rooted your phone. Sounds like you don't know what you are doing at all. So I would google "how to flash with odin", then go back to totally stock.

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

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.
