On a few developments threads they seems to recommended to wait 5 minutes without doing anything after installing a rom. Why exactly? Is it necessary?
If you're on rom that's on nightly status should you do this 5 minute wait each time you install a new revision even if you don't wipe data?
I've never waited 5 minutes and my phone works flawlessly.
That's a new one for me, you sure you didn't misread them saying it may take 5 minutes to load on first boot?

This is ridiculous and nothing but snake oil.
There's no real reason you should wait, and if you have to wait, obviously something is wrong with the ROM in question.
That's a new one on me. What would be the point?

Mostly unnecessary for devices with the amount of RAM this has, but it was common on older devices to lose setup files still in ram because the user started doing stuff right away.
Here one thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880502
I have also heard eschelon of the synergy team recommend waiting 5 minutes as well.
I heard that you have to wait 5 minutes with the phone facing south (only on Tuesdays, if it's any other day you face west), and you also have to wave your arms around while it's installing. Plus wipe battery stats after.

I think they just say that because the phone is doing a lot of stuff in that first 5 mins after a flash. Newer users might start trying to sync their FB calendar or install 23 widgets and cause the phone to freeze up, which consequently leads to them posting in the ROM thread saying "doesn't work - froze up" etc...
The OP is referring to the new JB TW ROM. The dev said to do that. Guess what? I didn't
Don't worry about it OP, just realize your phone is going 100 miles/hr in that first boot after an install.

It's for safety sake. But no it's not required and anyways who tells you otherwise is clueless.

Part of the process of elimination when you're trying to figure out what went wrong after installing a rom. Then feel like a dumbass when that's all you had to do.
From my Paranoid SGS3 on Verizon's unlocked booty.
try running a logcat durring first boot, then you will understand..
and yes, its a tradition from the G1 days.....
Whenever I'm on my first boot from a ROM flash I just walk away for 10 min. I know it's going to take a while to boot and load the dalvik cache. And i know after boot up it has a bit to do which usually makes it a little slower at first. I have a phone and a tablet. So while one is doing its thing I can just use the other to kill time. I don't mind waiting to get the smoothest experience.

I follow the instructions the ROM provides. Some may say it's not necessary but it doesn't hurt to following the instructions to get the ROM running right on your phone. It's your phone so do what you think it's best.
Also make sure to wipe three times. /s

What's up xda forums.had a couple of concerns with my phone. my nexus s stock running 2.3.2 rooted and unlocked. Here are some of my issues so far
While driving and on the phone, sometimes the call drops after making a nasty sound and stays stuck on the hanging up screen and I can't make or receive a call till I reboot.
When turning the phone off sometimes and turning back on, the screen hangs for a while and 4 seconds later ill feel the phone vibrate 2-3 times and go back to normal in which its not lagging.
When opening my gallery the phone takes about 5 seconds to show me my thumbnails of my photos.it does this every time. Also when I take pictures it takes about 10 seconds to see the photo I took. When talking on the phone I drop alot of.calls or I hear the person sound like a chipmunk lol.
Is my phone messed up? Is the stock rom messed up? I flashed a stock image thru clockwork after I tried a alpha cm7build. Was it corrupted or is my phone a pos. My nexus one never gave me this many problems.
Any help would be great

Well, yeah, most of your problems have been mentioned by someone here at one point or another. Some of them have workarounds, some are waiting for fixes from Google.
I think if you try a few searches with the search button in this and the General section you'll find already lengthy discussions on most of those issues.
These problems started after you flashed back to stock?
Try clearing caches and reflash I guess.

Maybe even a fastboot oem unlock again to force a TOTAL WIPE of the phone. Be careful, sdcard contents are wiped too.

The only major issue I've had only happened once, and it happened for the first time yesterday: Without me touching the back button it started flashing and going back through the app I was in at great speed. It was rather frustrating but its only ever happened the one time.
What some people forget is that the Nexus One also had a lot of problems apon release,
All was ironed out by google

I was able to make one of the problems repeat.. seems cause of the case i have everytime i hit the power button my thumb seems to hold down the volume rocker right in the middle. i then unlock the phone while its still tying to catch up from something.. cause 4 seconds later it will vibrate 2-3 times and the phone is back to reg speed.. there something wrong with my rom or can ya make this happen too?
Yup I get most of these issues too, it really spoils the experience. Next time I'm not gonna get a google phone straight upon release, it's really not worth the hassle. Also does anyone have problems with the wifi? Mine is horribly weak its a joke, struggles with wifi from my bedroom which my laptop and old Iphone 2g handled fine

question for the "doc" lol, saw where everyone was talking about the "not working" apps in the dev thread, can we not go in and remove the apps ourselves? I just went in and removed TiBu with root explorer and re-installed the version i purchased then went in and removed all the apps that don't work or not gonna use, or was that not something I should have not did?

It's probably fine.
After you reinstalled TiBu were you able to update? I know there were a few people that were having issues with the TiBu not updating.
I once heard though, that it's better to freeze unwanted apps rather than uninstalling. Something to do with OTA updates looking for the bloatware in order to validate that your system is not hacked/rooted. Anyway, it's probably not a big deal, just ever since I read that I always just freeze rather than uninstall. Unless its an app I put on there and or I know that it's not something AT&T put on there. But myself, I would apply that same theory to any of the things included with the ROM, anything I don't want I'll freeze rather than uninstall.
Let us know if that worked for the updating of TiBu.

I installed the rom, and have used it for a little over a day now.. I love the theme, and its def snappy, but has a few problems me and a friend found. We've both put the rom on our Infuses.
For a few flashes, my home button wouldn't work, but I think that was narrowed to backing up system data.. it now works for me though. On the first flash try, all calls being made TO my phone just got a busy signal, but I could call out.. My friend's phone calls only works when calling out. When he receives a call, itll end the call about 5 seconds into it.
He cannot turn his phone on while its plugged into the charger.. it wont do anything when he holds the power button. I cannot get root explorer to work, no matter what. I've reinstalled it, fixed permissions, still nothing. I now use another app to access it. When ever I get a new email and notification, my phone will freeze and reboot. I've had quite a few random reboots today as well, with my friend having only a few. It even rebooted while in the middle of a phone call.
I've tried a few different kernels, but not sure if i know when it installs correctly other than the phone boots up... I know the voodo kernel hasnt worked at all... itll sit on the samsung screen for at least 30 mins a few different tries.

Sounds like you have a bad flash. I'd start over, make sure you do your proper wiping. And read over the Dev section there are a lot of additional steps spread throughout. I will try to compile them into one post when I get some free time. Good luck.

I've redownloaded the flash to my computer twice, recopied it to my phone twice, started with a complete fresh rom using odin that was already rooted and CWM installed, and wiped all data possible. I've followed all the steps, done reboots in between sometimes just to try something different.. I've reflashed my rom at least 6 times in the past two days maybe trying different things .
has anyone had bad battery drain with this? last night i charged 100% before went to bed, had JD running on aggressive mode, wifi anf BT disabled as well as setcpu no OC and profile for 400/100 when screen off.... got up this morning 6 hours and was at 38%, ive been running the rom for days now so i think its had time to bake but not sure what else to do? any suggestions.
Thats odd with the battery drain...mine has been doing great....so your saying it didnt fully charge? or it was full, u unpkugged went to bed woke up and it drained that much? that doesnt make sense...no rom should do that....check your runnibg services and tell me what all is constantly running

Q- Can we remove the extra sounds when plugging in, powering on or off?
I know it sounds petty but I have my phone w/me at work and every time I plug it in to charge it plays that "Charging enabled" voice over. Can this be shut off? I SO SO SO love this Rom so far!! I have flashed quite a few and this one is my favorite so far!

So to sum it up, I don't personally have a skyrocket, but I have a friend who looks to me for custom roms, root, etc for his skyrocket. I've been doing the ROM flashing thing for like 3 years and I've never had issues. Yet it seems every time I flash something to his phone I'll get a call a month or so down the road saying its unbearably slow or that it takes minutes to make a phone call. Is there some step that I've been missing? How does this always happen? I realize they're different phones, but I've flashed countless roms for multiple periods of time on my Xoom, Gnex, and Eris without any issues. Can anyone shed some light on this? Its been driving me crazy.

Can you expand on what is slow? If it is just apps MOT UISNG internet, then his process memory/cache/whatever is gettiing full. Does he ever reboot the phone? Restarting the phone clears memory and will do wonders.
If he is using any app like Task killer or Task manager then he is screwing things up. With the the SGS II, there is no need to kill processes, since that only worsens things.
If he restarts phone, does it recover its speed? Can u check that?
EDIT: If it is internet - i do not see how that could be related to making a call, but still otherwise - then he is being throttled.
Thanks I'll text him and see what I can find out. As of now I think he's running the modified leaked ICS roms that came out like a day after the leak. We live on opposite sides of the state so I rarely see him.
**Edit: there's no way he's being throttled. He's the most data conscious person I know. Barely used 300mb of his 2gb the last few months.

The very first ROMs of the ICS leak had a lag problem. The newer ones quickly got rid of that.
This is a copy paste of his response asking what was wrong:
"I'm not using a task manager at all. First off, the phone freezes every so often and it shuts down by itself when it freezes. That aside, I've rebooted the phone literally dozens of times because it starts acting funny...like, apps will randomly stop working, the home button won't work, etc. Then adding to that, the phone feature is soooooooooo slow. If I tap on the phone to make a call, it takes about 5 seconds to open. Then any numbers I punch in take about 4 to 5 seconds each to appear. If I want to call somebody out of my call history list, it will take at minimum 5 seconds to open, and then selecting the person to call can take up to 10 seconds to respond. Finally, the home screens lag somewhat when I scroll between them and the lock screen is always on, no matter how many times I turn it off. Lol kind of a lot of problems huh?"
So new ICS ROM seems to be the general consensus? Thanks again guys.

Is his current data very important to him? Looks like a sub-optimal flash. It happened to me before - the exact symptoms. Since he is far off from you, he can do the following:
1. Reboot to CWM recovery.
2. Wipe data/factory reset.
3. Wipe dalvik cache.
Of course his favorite apps will be gone......
The more sure way is to reflash, but this time do the above steps along with Mounts&storage>>Format>>system, data, cache
Then reflash the ROM. Of course again his favorite stuff will vanish,
To avoid this he can do a nandroid backup, or Titanium bakup, but then replacing those apps back MAY re-corrupt his system.
Will check back later.......
EDIT: ALso, in some ROMS if you flash radio, kernel and ROM separately, the order matters.
I can figure out a way to back his apps up if I tell him how to use TiBu right? I'll be skyping him later thus weekend to try and figure it out. If he wipes this way it won't erase EVERYTHING on the internal storage right? As in camera pictures will be saved correct? Ill try to walk him through a CWM flashing, shouldn't be too difficult. Any ROM suggestions you have currently for me, prioritizing stability over most everything? Thanks again.

Screw backing up his apps. There is issues with restoring apps and ICS. He should reinstall the ROM or download a new one. And no, pictures and media won't be touched. And I recommend the latter.. Embryo 2.1 is amazing and silky smooth and I have zero issues with it. Had a few that I quickly fixed

Are you implying there's issues restoring for ICS and the skyrocket? That would be understandable maybe, but I know for a fact there isn't for just ICS in general. Thanks for the ROM btw, I'll look into it. If it means anything, he's using AT&T.

Glad I'm not the only one in that boat. I swear I have no idea what happens to other peoples phones once I flash stuff on them. Mom and sisters nook color is running fine still. Flashed a ROM on an OG Droid for a different friend a few months back and within two weeks he had me fix it because *I* messed it up (How the hell he managed to delete the launcher and google framework packages is beyond me :what: ). Guess there's a reason root is disabled when you purchase a phone . Although I still don't understand how problems arise weeks if not months later and the fingers are always pointed back to me. /rant sorry.
I'll be checking out the two ROMs suggested here shortly then making a detailed email out to him. Thanks again everyone.

Haha, let them figure out how to modify their own devices. It will only help them to know what they are doing and you will have less problems.
You are most correct. For the most part, unless its a close friend I will refrain from doing anything. I've had too many instances where people don't understand what I'm telling them. For example, the mere installation of juicedefender on a colleagues phone caused "me to be unable to get Facebook messages or words with friends notifications instantly unless I turned the screen on and I had to take it to the store to get repaired" :banghead: WELL YES. What did you think I meant when I told you your data services would be suspended to save battery while the screen was off? TLDR: Family only or I'll make you learn yourself (or sign a waiver )

Yes, I have learned to be very selective in helping people run roms and such. If they don't understand what it means to clear cache, dalvik, fix permissions, etc.. they are gonna have problems. They need to understand the basics of custom roms, rooting, and the like before they can even consider using anything but stock. They simply have no business running a custom rom, and some are buggy, which makes it far worse. Our ICS leak needs some TLC and some knowledge to keep it running and debug when problems arise. This is something a "buddy" with no knowledge is not gonna be able to fix, and he will have problems. Even Gb customs have issues which require basic knowledge to fix. Our "buddies" need to read the forums and equip themselves with some knowledge before doing or running anything other than stock.
I guess I'm just used to having phones with a larger development community (Nexus, Eris, OG Droid, Nook). The one here is stellar, don't get me wrong, but I've had numerous android devices with flash and forget ROMs that I may have incorrectly assumed all phones had these. My apologies to anyone who takes that offensively, it wasn't intended to be. There are tons of great devs here who continue to impress me, but the population of this dev forum compared to the GNex for example, is much smaller.
Tldr again: I incorrectly assumed most phones had flash and forget ROMs. Is there anything close to stock I can just flash and root for said buddy? Ideally a stock rooted ROM would be best I think.

I used both of these for while. Both were rock solid. The second is just a more themed version. Both are GB, but not stock. rooted, deodexed, zipaligned, etc

Thanks a bunch. I'll say its safe to assume there's no stable ICS yet? I don't mind GB at all, I just foresee issues converting said friend to use GB since he's asked me most every day up till the leak about when ICS was coming.

Well, I consider it stable with both seanz's ucld2 sky ics and nexusmods beta 7, but there are a couple bugs. If your buddy just needs a rom that runs and doesn't need fixing every now and again he should probably stay on Gb.
Sounds like a good plan.. is there anything in particular I need to do to go from the leak down to GB?

I have not met a more destructive rom than the d2vzw MIUI port.
When I first flashed it a month ago, it was so unstable that I had to re Odin.
But that was nothing compared to the past 12 hours.
I tried a newer build. Still buggy. Wipes my MIN.
I spend the rest of the day zero-bar roaming and throwing every CDMA tool available at the problem.
Nothing worked until I wrote my efs.sbn backup to the phone. It was the last thing I was going to try before going to Verizon and and I never thought I would have to use the backup. I'm glad the MEID loss scare got people serious about backups.
Stay away from MIUI. Not all AOSP is created equal. Backup your efs. You will need it.
Disappointed to come in here and read that your phone wasn't bricked & that miui didn't get your phone wet.

I love miui, been using it for a few weeks on this phone and before this one I used it almost exclusively on my other three phones. I too lost my data and EIME, had backup thankfully but spent a few hours trying to get the darn thing working again. Ended up using nvrestore as a last resort and thankfully it worked. Miui is awesome, I can't wait for the kinks to get more ironed out.
No rom works the same on every phone. Sorry you had a bad experience with MIUI but there are many others on here who are using it as a daily driver with no problems.

I've been a little flash happy lately. I had not tried MIUI but had read about it. Watched the little vid clip. Why not? I generally scan the entire thread on a new rom so I was surprised when I found no app drawer. I thought it was broken. So I waited a couple of days and tried the Official drop. I was playing around with it (still no app drawer of course) looking for Titanium BU when I noticed something on the notification bar. I pulled it down and touch it. something about roaming. I looked through it and the locations were all overseas. Did I miss something? Nothing in the post said anything about a potential bomb built into this thing. After I let it go, I noticed my connection was gone. Nandroid backups did not help. I picked around and got my data back, but only 3g. I ended up calling Verizon and told them I *228'd my phone and they reprogrammed my SIM. All is well now, but I'm going to be more careful and I too am avoiding the MIUI roms.
I've never seen the appeal of MIUI. Sure, it's cute, fun, and different - but I lost interest after about 3 days on my OG droid.

the point is none of the aosp roms are near complete and still cause alot of headaches.

I thought flashing was at your own risk? Anytime I flash I assume I am using my phone as a chip on the blackjack table. Though the odds are in my favor, it's still a gamble. Don't flash if your not up for dealing with a worse case scenario.
I do appreciate the update on your experience, but to deem the rom essentially as a virus is a bit off the mark. Not knocking your post, but your post may scare alot of people away from that developers hard work. All phones, and more importantly all users are different and your experience WILL NOT be everyone else's.
I love the MIUI interface and many of its features, but I have never been able to fun a stable version on any of my phones. Too bad, there are always bugs needed to be worked out in MIUI roms it seems, specially with data.
I got a replacement because of miui killing my 4G about a month ago

The problem is common with all AOSP roms which is why I stick to the TW ones for now. MIUI is a fantastic rom, I really miss it after using it for years on my Evo.
It all comes from proper prep. There are so many instances of aosp causing issues for users, but they stem from coming from tw/or back to it. Our friend above (prdog) gave me a wonderful education on cleansing before flashing, and I have yet to have an issue. Learn and understand your system, the partitions created and how they are/are not affected by certain wipes, and know that tw/aosp are very different and need to be treated as such. Don't be lazy, treat going from one to another as a new phone and let titanium be your friend. Always format your system regardless of what others may tell you, even on a dirty flash. It's insurance and pays off in the end.

That was your fault. You should have fixed it yourself
Via my Google Galaxy S3 running magic beans
I remember on the Synergy thread they released a script to I think help prevent the IMEI missing. I know there was one to back it up n I think one to help prevent it from being lost. I'm not exactly sure. I know I ran it n I never had IMEI issues. I will wanna try MIUI on the S3 but after a few reports about the IMEI, I dunno now :/

If you read about the ROM at all, you would know that MIUI doesn't have an app drawer... There are mods to put one it, but by itself there is none...

Whatever MIUI does, it's recoverable. I too lost data on one of the earlier ones and was able to recover it without too much hassle.
i never saw the fascination with miui but that's just me.

As for reading about the ROM, where? I looked again, can't find it. I'll allow that the app drawer might be my own fault but that wasn't what distracted me for 4 hours and then the call to Verizon. It was the "roaming bomb". That was not mentioned either. Why would a U.S. ROM contain that? I know flash at my own risk and I do. I've never complained before and I really don't think I'm complaining now. I saw this thread and agree is all. This one wasn't ready for prime time.
Here is my question... im getting different reading of battery on my a2.. let say i have around 80% after a reboot it went to 85%.. also i have different reading in bmm.. around 5% difference.. i wipe my batt fo a few time b4.. now it seems messed up.. XD

Wiping battery stats does nothing but delete a log file. Will not calibrate or anything of the sort.
Google it for those of you that dont believe.
But as far as the different readings. This device is so messed up with the BS that is put on it....mainly BMM. we nolonger have a standalone system, so nothing will ever be right. Call me old school. but first phone with BMM and worst phone I've ever had. Coinicidence? you tell me
Strange, my phone certainly isn't perfect, but I like it much more since installing BMM and custom roms. My battery life has suffered but I'm much happier the way it is.
My thoughts are dig in and fix it or flash back to stock. Nothing wrong with pointing out issues, but but it's not very productive to run custom software and just complain about how crappy it is.

Haha.. Guess its normal for multibooter to suffer this kinda stuff constant reboot and stuff.. Tho i think i only have this with one rom.. Im tryin to use other rom for a while and see the difference..
bmm and bs is the only way around so like or hate it.. Its a tool to at least feel what flashing means.. When I bought this phone I've see this coming but I took the risk..

Don't blame BMM, blame Motorola and the locked bootloader. If it wasn't for that we wouldn't have so many hoops to jump through just to flash these ROMs. You should instead, be thankful to whirleys for BMM and giving you a workaround so that you can have something other than MotoBlur running on your phone.:thumbup:
