Same here - haven't found a solution yet...
Did you guys restore system data with titanium backup? That causes problems when com from gingerbread rom ( or stock rom) to ics
Every post I've read regarding the upgrade to ICS has specifically stated to NOT restore system data from previous versions of the ROM. If you search the forums there is info on how to fix this if you've made that mistake but I believe it involves a full system wipe then re-flash.
That's too bad
Well, that's too bad
I am using a Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 and there were a lot of ROMs which had exactly the same problems!
My recommendation is to look for another ROM! There are a lot of awesome ROMs :good:

I used to have frequent force closes and used alogcat to determine that it was due to running out of memory. It wasn't that my phone had insufficient memory, but the way memory was used. For me, I first increased the dalvikvm-heap size in build.prop from 32MB to 48MB and that solved the force closes. Then I downloaded and ran the V6 Supercharger script (for better memory management) and that got rid of the frequent launcher redraws. Now my phone is quick and a joy to use I think(?) ICS requires more memory than Gingerbread so maybe these fixes might work for you too. I assume your phone is rooted by the sound of it so it can be done. Good luck!

So I'm pretty sure I figured out why a lot of us are having problems with teddys new rom. I'm guessing all of us have gone from rom to rom on this forum and I personally didn't have any problems untill I went from revolutions lightning rom to teddys touchmiuiwiz rom. I don't know why but I'm guessing something is incompatable with our backups between those two roms because teddys rom works perfectly fine untill I restore my apps and settings which are backed up currently with titanium backup from lightning rom. Once I do that my sd card starts acting weird and I get force closes loss of ringtones ect... so that's the only thing I can figure is going on :-/ I'm not sure what is causing the problem exactly but I'm pretty sure that's what the problem is.
Maybe someone can figure it out and fix it? This post might be pointless but I just figured I would share my thoughts and findings hence why I posted this in the general section.

The issue with nandroid restores is that they restore the full /data partition, rather than just the apps, it restores the data for each app, as well as the dalvik-cache. Wiping the dalvik-cache fixes most of the issues, but some apps are still older/different versions, or do not include the changes we have implemented in our rom, and therefore are incompatible.
The issue becomes that the restored apps are looking for something that isn't there in our rom, because they are from a different rom. You can always try wiping the data for the app that's FCing, but this is why we suggest using Titanium Backup, as it can backup just apps, rather than apps and data.
Hi!
Apologies in advance, I don't know much about the workings of android, I just follow guides!
I'm trying out my first custom rom, namely gingerclone, and am having trouble getting all my apps back up and running...
Before installing the rom, I backed up all my apps and settings with titanium backup, so I could restore them much easier after the rom change.
Although when I tried restoring them, I had lots of force closes with titanium backup itself, and about half of my apps would immediately FC on opening and didn't have icons. I then uninstalled the problem apps manually in settings>applications, and tried installing via the market. For some apps, it worked fine, but for others, whenever I try to install from the market, my phone reboots when the download is done and it tries installing. Sometimes it won't even download and just gives me errors, and for some they will install, but will not launch, just force close. I've tried cleaning the dalvik cache with titanium backup, and deleting settings files for the problem apps from my sd card, so that as far as I can see, there is no trace of them. But still, random reboots whenever I try installing, or unopenable if I manage to get them to install.
Any idea what could be going on? Plenty of other apps have installed and are working fine, so I'm stumped.
Had the same exact problem trying to install apps with titanium backup.
what i did was just slow down and install each app one by one and wait for each app to completely install before trying to install the next.
trying to download all of them all and once always made my phone reboot like it does to yours.
well hope this helps!
Wel I ended up uninstalling them all and trying to install again from the market, but I can't even get them to install individually now. It seems like trying to restore the backup has put some rogue files somewhere and is messing it up when I try to install the apps...
I have no idea why, but everything has started working again, so problem solved :/
I don't know. That never happened with me

Hey guys,
I am currently running skyICS 4.2F6-2.6.1B and recently, my phone has been crashing alot. I am using the Touchwix UX and that has been crashing, but today the system UI has been crashing as well. I also noticed today that the battery life is significantly lower than what it normally is. The camera fails when I try to use it and the flashlight makes the system lock up.
Do I just need to reflash a new ROM? Before this, it was running perfectly. Could I just clear the cache and will that fix it?
Thanks

I would try clearing cache and dalvick first. If that doesn't solve your problem ...then full wipe & flash rom fresh . Good Luck

I would probably say reflash the ROM is the correct way to go.
**MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE ROM IN YOUR EXTERNAL MEDIA CARD PRIOR TO PERFORMING THE STEPS PROVIDED!!***
Wipe X3
format /system X3
format /data X3
format /cache X3
format /emmc X3
Then install the ROM you want to install.
On SkyICS 4.2F6, right around update 2.5 / 2.6 is when the system partition got max'd out. If you have TiBu, check your "system ROM" free space... if next to nil, you will start running into issues. Are you on the BaseR2 ROM, BaseR3, or Dragon? If BaseR2, you will need to free up some headroom on the system partition (/system/app). Search the SkyICS 4.2F6 ATT Development thread for previous posts about freeing up space on system partition (I posted on Development thread regarding this). If you're not on R2, you should have enough system partition space, and most likely this is not the cause of your problem.

I actually did run out of space when trying to move on with my updates, which is why I stopped there. I am not sure which items i could remove in the system partition so I also just left that. Any suggestions on which to get rid of?

It really depends on what apps you use / don't use. If you are on R2 safebase, and don't use "S-Voice" (since Sean added GoogleNow, he removed S-Voice from the R3 bases), start with removing it first. S-Voice is the "voicetalk.apk". I'd recommend first backing it up w/ TiBi (in case you want to restore it later), then using TiBu, uninstall S-Voice (voicetalk.apk). It's 30mb on the system partition and you can probably stop there. But if want to free up more space on system partition, SocialHub (SevenEngine.apk) is 8.5mb. I had removed 10 apps which freed plenty of space... but then at 2.8, I decided to reflash the R3 Dragon... really happy with it... no issues whatsoever.
I already removed S voice. I currently have 49.2MB free, is that good enough? Should I keep figuring what to delete? I would reflash R3 Dragon, but I just don't want to go through all the effort of recreating my home screen and my folders and such. :/ unless there is a way to save and restore that kind of thing.

49mb free should be more that sufficient to run without crashes. I think at this point your best best is to restore a recent nandroid (if you did one)... at least the last known good one where you were not encountering crashes and FCs. I use Apex Launcher which I really like, and it gives you the option to backup settings and homescreens. Other than these suggestions you might need to reflash. I'd recommend the R3 Dragon this time with the 2.8A.
Hmm... I've had similar problems when I upgraded to the OFFICIAL ICS update, and was the reason why I rooted in the first place. Now I'm running Jellybean and it's great
It looks like the I727 and ICS don't go along very well...

Is there already a Jellybean ROM for skyrocket? How stable is it?
It runs fine, but occasionally it shuts down randomly. Well, it hasnt for the past few days, but I'm keeping a close eye on everything. Also, I have no idea how to set the APN and the phone doesn't hve the right settings. I'm on Rogers and would appreciate any help
Otherwise, I really like it. The ROM is in the android development section of in the skyrocket section.

Hey
I'm on a GSM Galaxy Nexus running CyanogenMod10 nightlies, and I'm noticing some lag, and so I wanted to wipe everything and flash again.
Not sure if that will help lol (noob) but I thought I'd try.
To wipe everything and keep my settings and stuff intact, what do I need to do? a nandroid? And what happened to the nandroid I made when flashing cm10? is that just stored as a recoverable file?
Thanks!
Nandroids are complete backups of your system, restoring a "laggy" system will end you up with the same laggy system, with no difference...
If you wanna get back your settings after a wipe, use Titanium Backup...though I advise against backing up system apps and data since restoring them usually gave ME force closes...
You can try wiping data, not sure if it will actually make the lag go away...
Or you could try scripts like the famous v6 supercharger memory management script (google it)...
- Via xda premium
If you did a nandroid backup before you flashed the version of the ROM that's laggy, restoring it may fix the problem, since it'll bring you back to before you flashed the ROM. (If you're doing nightlies, I'd do a nandroid before every update. Label it with the date and time you created it and save it off the phone [on a computer, laptop, USB drive, etc.])
Umm, not trying to sound like a d!ck, but you are running "nightlies" which aren't exactly known for stability. If you want your phone to run without any issues find a stable ROM and not one in nightlies. The lag you are describing is relatively common when using an unstable nightly version of a ROM as a daily driver, and if it is something you are not prepared to live with then I would always keep a "last known good" backup on your SD card...gives you a restore point with last known good settings which you can restore at any time.
Hello there..
I was on stock ICS.. i installed the stock JB and the performance was very laggy even worse than Honeycomb, i was advised to backup my apps via titanium backup, wipe cache and data from the cwm recovery and restore my apps again. I successfully did that and the performance was a little better but lots of apps crash and restart, the biggest problem is when i open any app specially a web browser or a game then go to home screen or use another app for a while and get back to the browser again its like i open it from the beginning "the browser tabs reloaded and if a game it restarts".. This problem was on honeycomb and was solved by installing Go Launcher and was fully solved by installing the ICS.. Is there a solution for the JB to get that performance back?

JB is very good and much much better than HC or ICS...
So I guess your concern would be the backup/restore procedure...
When you restored from TB, did you do a full restore or just apps restoration ??? ^^
If you did a full restore : including system files and configuration, then this should be your issue...
Try to do a factory reset (no need to use cmw, just from your settings) and only restore your apps, and see if that helps ?!?!?!
As another option, use the Google or Samsung backup/restore procedure... ^^
I know, I know, Samsung Kies may suck sometime... But some other times, it may help...

I really appreciate u took time to read and answer so thank u so much
i backed up my apps and few system stuff like Bluetooth and wifi points and alarms.. i've been told that some apps may not be compatible with JB that's why it crash and close
so do u think i should do the backup again before the factory reset ?
Still i can't find an option to backup my apps by kies, i can only see few things to be backed like contacts and sms not the apps
and i dont know what is Google backup restore thing, i googled it but i only find apps on play store
There seems to be TRIM (or flash handling) bug in official firmware [SOLVED]
I had official ICS 4.0.2 firmware on my Galaxy Tab 7.7 phone (GT-P6800), but it becomes slow and sluggish and I was unable to do anything. Even popping up screen to accept phone call was so slow, the caller hang before I was able to do. Also writing on touch keyboard was really slow and unusable.
I tryed to reflash, I tryed Slim version of official firmware too with no luck. The system was faster, but even no apps were added (just system update through Google Play), the responsibility of the system become sluggish again (and even worse than before).
Then I recognized that even I pick firmware reset from CWM or from Settings (in Android system), my internal flash memory is not deleted and many (hidden) files remains there (one may think that internal flash was empty, because hidden files are not normally shown). As I had some applications making A LOT of (hidden) files (maps, geocaching, etc), the clues become visible to me. [I tryed to do factory reset from system and from CMW too, so there could be bug too]
To make story short, I manually deleted all files in internal memory (by running "My files", tap on Menu, and pick "Show hidden files"). This takes LOOONG and then the system become more usable, but still not enough.
And yes. There is legendary TRIM command which makes flash memory to know what portion of the flash memory is free to use. Without that even one deletes files, the flash itself does not know that the place is really free and keep data on it. When TRIM command is used, the internal FTL (Flash Translation Level) system in flash chip can use place marked by TRIM to spread writes and wear level writes to not destroy some parts of flash with excessive number of writes (they are limited to 10-100 thousands times or so). The TRIM allows FTL to breath. So what now? Android officially support TRIM since 4.3, but there is no 4.3 version of Android for Galaxy Tab 7.7 at all, only 4.1.2 (but only for East Asia officially). But this is better than nothing. Maybe Samsung put some support to 4.1 (backport?) as Samsung do for other features or (maybe) fix some other issues related to flash support? I don't know...
Then I decided to go to 4.1.2 from from here and wrote some info to the Wiki. And I reflashed, deleted cache, Dalvik cache (from CWM), then I fill up space in internal flash memory and then deleted all files from "My files". And viola! The speed is incredible again
To the end - maybe it is not necessary to go to 4.1.2, maybe just make sure you delete all files (including hidden ones). But I does not care about it. I have KIES_HOME_P6800DXMD3_P6800OLBMD3_1157844_REV00_user_low_ship.tar from URL mentioned above (no M3D DEODEXED was put on top of it). This is East region stock firmware and I happily use it in central Europe (SMS, normal call works, MMS was not tested yet). The only thing that seems to not work is support for 5GHz Wi-Fi (I don't see it in Wifi Analyzer) but I do not care and I'm enjoying full speed of my 7.7 again Sorry for long post. Just FYI.

This happens when Dalvik cache contains data about more recent applications (ie. you install one with older time mark than was before). You have to go to CWM and delete Dalvik cache (in Advanced menu). As I wrote below, there could be bug even in CWM so you may want to try 6.0.3.0 (I have this now) see link.
