Random restarts vs stock rom

Ok so i rooted my phone and never had a g2 style of restart where it just rebooted on its own... Until i started flashing customs roms i tried leedroid, coredroid, p3d, bulletproof and all of them gave me random reboots almost every 10 to 30 mintues apart so i decided to restored my stock backup and havent had any reboots after that... Is there anything i can do to fix this or did i miss a step on rooting or putting my recovery image... Like I knw what im doing when flashing because i did it to my mytouch 4g all the time just sucks to be on a call or a text or browing and get random reboot because of the custom roms... Future thanks to anyone who can help me out because i cant stand the stock rom so ugh (restricted)

That certainly is strange. I remember when I was using the G2, I was getting a lot of force restarts, especially during the CM7 RC period.
On the Sensation, I've been using Android Revolution HD for a while and it's been extremely stable for me. I just make sure I'm using the Super Wipe script in clockwork and then just flashing the rom + addons like normal. I haven't had a single force restart since the ROMs started getting based off 2.3.4. Give it a try and see if it helps you out; it is definitely WAY better than stock, for sure.

Ok sorry to sound misinformed but whats a super wipe... And a little more info, i rooted the sensation after the ota update to 2.3.4 and it was fine no issues then i rooted a month after when revolutionary had added my hboot and i followed the xda developers method on installing the clockwork mod recovery.. i sooner got rom manager since its eaiser for me to knw what rom i back up... But yeah it asked me to install a recovery and i did but its still on the 5.0.2.0 recovery image... Could that be a possibility?

Something wrong with my phone.

OK so it seems my phone has an issue with any rom other than stock as I have tried them all and I have 3 things that happen: a. Phone will reboot on its on or b. The screen will go black with the buttons lit up. Or c. It will freeze on me. This is any rom other than bone stock. Any one know what could be the cause of this?

okay , your phone looks like hard to use.
what version/model is it ? is it possible you flashed GSM ROM to 4G Nexus S ? or 4G ROM to GSM ?
okay , your operator is AT&T , forget it ... it wouldn't be 4G
orginal MIUI and orginal CM7 , all the same ?

I haven't tried any miui roms but every rom I have tried has been for 9020s. I have tried bugles beast, NSCollab, oxygen, we scream for ice cream (which I fully expect to have issues but could not resist trying) , blanddroid, and nexusMV all with the same issue. I even tried several different kernels to see if that would make a difference but it didn't
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

There's a low chance your cpu can't take any voltages/frequencies outside stock kernel range. Because that black display/lit buttons thingy happens to me if I go too low on voltages or freq.

What are the stock voltage rages? So I can try that theory out?
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

Nexus has model of 9020S ??
i only heard about 9020A,F,T and 9023
default MIUI doesn't over/underclock or UV

To further update today I have been running a stock 2.3.7 rom made by drew garen that has been running well with no reboots, freezes or anything but again it is stock with the exception of being rooted and 2.3.7 instead 2.3.4 like my stock rom and the only reason I am running it instead of my actual stock one is for google wallet.

Nah, NS4G is running 2.3.7 as it includes the required NFC chip update to run Google wallet.

OK so even with that rom it has been acting stupid though not as bad then I went to my stock rom and again the same thing so I think I am just going to unroot and take it to best buy because I am pretty sure it is not supposed to have this much trouble
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

Well I am completely stock and unrooted now and so far no problems so my question would now be did I just have a bad root or something? Should I retry rooting now that its back to original or should I take it to best buy and try to get them to replace it? I really like playing with rooted phones and trying different roms and stuff but it is kinda impractical when my phone won't handle it...that's why I am wondering if I had done something wrong maybe?
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

I have the NS4G but I've never had those issues on any ROM

Well after being unrooted since yesterday I am now no longer getting any freezes, black screens, or reboots. My question now is, did I possibly do something wrong in the root process that might have caused this problem?

Did you try re-rooting it?

I did just now using different more up to date rooting kit files then the ones I used before. I am going to stick with the stock rom for the rest of the day just rooted and see if the problem happens and then if it doesn't do like this then I may try running a custom rom and if this does not work I will unroot it again and throw the phone against a brick repeatedly so best buy will take the thing back as I tried taking it back today and i couldn't come up with a good enough reason for them too take it back it seems.

OK update time. Running stock rooted after unrooting and rooting (using a different root kit this time) I am having no issues what so ever and I even tried taxing the CPU by running app after app ran some heavy games and things of that nature with no restarts or freezes, however I tried NSCollab for a little while and it did act up though not as bad as before so I have gone back to stock rooted and everything is fine for now. I may try some other rom later but for now I am happy just to be rooted with no issues with the stock rom. I might try a less modded rom like buggles beast or oxygen net go round though other than not having the notification Widgets and reboot/recovery option when pressing the power button stock rooted does everything I want it too.

I think that problem could be kernel. Have you tried any customer kernels? Previously I had freeze issues and this so called 'morning coma', kernel fixed all those problems

while that could be the issue with that rom I think I have discovered my real problem could be something to do with titanium backup, either the program its self or one of my backed up apps. this morning on my stock rom it rebooted twice so I got to thinking and decided to do a wipe but instead of restoring my apps from titanium back up I just used the market website to send all of my apps to my phone and so far that seems to have fixed the issue. the only apps i did not re-install was amazon appstore (and a few games from there) rom manager, and titanium backup so I am assuming my problem is contained in one of those apps if I am no longer having the problem.

With titanium do you you just back up apps and app data? Or system data too?

Good job compiling this. I have all of those myself and can attest to their effectiveness. Thanks for putting this together for the rest of the community!

Wow, just doing the renice tweak and adding the apps I used most drastically improved my performance.

Glad it's working well for you guys. Just compiled it when I was working haha love my job

My thanks are by mistake.(kinda assumed this would work for my phone too)
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

All of these should work for your phone as none are really phone specific as for the renice one you can find a post about it somewhere on xda and edit it to your liking. SQLite, fugu, gemini/cache cleaner are all not phone specific.

My phone has been so laggy lately and the battery would drain so fast, it was very frustrating. Then I tried these 5 steps and the results are almost unbelievable! I unplugged my phone this morning and by the time I got done at work 9 hours later the battery was still at 80%! And no lag whatsoever.

I did these steps and I noticed that my phone is now faster I used to always gey redraws rather frequently, but I still get redraws, enough to still bother me. Advice on how to be faster? I am on stock FP1 rooted using twl.launcher as my main launcher and would like to keep this setup. I am willing to switch roms or anything, all I want is zero redraws, really hate it! Thanks and any advice is appreciated!!

Add this line to the end of your /system/build.prop and reboot.
Code:
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
That should help some. It may not eliminate it completely, but it'll be the best you can get.
Also, if you're stock, consider either manually debloating or installing a debloated rom. The less you have running in the background, the less likely your launcher will be to close.

Hey guys I am new to the charge. I really want to root but I have some concerns first. For one I have already replaced this phone twice since I got it. If I un-root it will Verizon notice I rooted it at all? Also how safe is it? I really don't want a $300 paper weight. I rooted my old sch-m828c from straightalk and the phone wouldn't connect to the computer anymore; is that a concern with the charge? As from the last sentence I have experience with odin but my old phone lost the root somehow and i was unable to boot it back to stock. Is the charge better about stuff like that? Please respond with any help. (Best mods, safest methods etc.) Thanks in advance!

well first off, you're in the right thread. To adress your concerns:
1) If you use odin to flash an unrooted firmware on your phone verizon will have no idea that you rooted your phone.
2) Your first flash is scary but it's really not that hard. Just always use the pda slot in odin and you'll be fine. I have only messed my phone up once and that was because I wasn't following instructions properly.
3) And this phone has a history of losing root on some custom roms but all you have to do is go to the superuser website and download their cwm flashable binary and you will regain root.
4) As for best mods etc. that's why I said you are in the right thread check the link in the OP for the full guide.
best rom imo is tweaked 2.2 with stock kernel.
feel free to ask any questions.

Are the kernel tweaks compatible with the stock kernel? Or should they be run manually via script manager? From what I've read only custom kernels offer init.d support.

You have to run through script manager.

[Q] TMobile G2X Root and ROM advice for the complete noob

ok so here is the deal. my g2x is crashing like the hindenburg several times a day, very frustrating. Tmobile won't help since it's out of warranty. I need all the help i can get when it comes to doing any rooting and/or mods to the phone to get it to stop crashing so much. i have not rooted the phone yet, so advice on the best way for a numbskull like me to do it (superonecilck?). then, advice on what would be a stable mod or rom or whatever you call it to install on the phone so i stop being so frustrated. now mind you, whatever rom/mod etc that is recommended please make sure it is so easy a 2 yr old could do it, because i know me..i WILL screw it up!
any and all advice is welcomed. i am beyond pissed at this phone now and i need to keep from throwing it at the wall. Tmobile won't budge about helping to replace this, only grant me the full upgrade pricing early, so i can give them another $150-300 for a new phone, while new customers come in and get stuff free.
thanks to any and all who respond.

Have you installed the latest V21y software? That seems to have cleared up lots of the problems some people were having with the g2x.

i have not tried that yet....now that I know this I will try though. Anything is better than giving TMobile more $.

I first used this to gain root access:http://www.unlockroot.com/index.html . It's a simple one-click process.
Then I followed this guide from step 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060715. I personally used CyanogenMod 7.2 http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/2856/cm-7.2.0-p999.zip .
Optionally, you can also flash a kernel: Trinity ELP(http://goo.gl/XqDn2) and Faux52 LG (http://faux.androidro.ms/P999-CM-Kernel-052-sv-lg-stable.zip)seem to be the most popular... Instructions to flash the Kernel:
[ Installation procedure: ]
1. reboot to CWM
2. Clear cache
3. Advanced, clear Dalvik
4. install zip from SDcard
5. Reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If one of the kernels gives you issues, try flashing the other one.
I'm pretty noobish to this as well, considering i only flashed my phone a couple days ago, but I used this procedure and it didn't give me any problems at all.

Thanks. We have full detailed guides listed for new owners in the development settings. Some people have issues with faux 52 kernel, if so try using 48 or 50 in place of 52.

Never had arbitrary crash problems with my unrooted stock g2x on either original Froyo or GB update. If your phone still has problems after the GB update you might have an app problem, or a hardware problem. Update to GB, strip all Apps, and see if it works. If it does, add the apps back in one at a time. If not, toss it.

Possible phone dying?

Wife's infuse running beanstalk. Getting issues where every once in a while she will lose all apps that have been installed and once it lost all pics/music/etc.... Question is: should I look at using our upgrade soon? I'm starting to think internal memory is starting to die...

mebby bad flash or rom corruption
back up your sd and take out micro sd
reset the phone to factory
flash gb stock..reset it in gb stock..run in stock without any micro sd..don't restore any data except google sync..see how that goes for a while

I was afraid you were going to say something like that. :crying:
Good side is that maybe the phone itself isn't dying.

it's a little work but shouldn't be too tough.
i my honest opinion, the best set up for someone else is prolly stock gb with zen's latest kernel (it has the later galaxy device wifi drivers that are less prone to wipe your battery)
unless of course, the phone user is a tinker that can learn to do things herself
