Help! - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

to start i have the stock rom and rooted
well i installed the 1.5 kernel and all was well and everything was smooth. so i decided to install the 1.8 kernel and it was good for a a day and then today my phone has been really lagging in some aspects like going through my home screens(i have launcher pro) and at times when im in settings or something and i tap the home button it goes to a black screen and says launcher pro is having problems. so i took that off and went back to sense and that was also lagging when swiping through homescreens and opening the app drawer, and that never happened before. im running it at 1209 max and 806min most of the time .
so my question is: if i want the 1.5ghz kernel can i just flash that back over the 1.8ghz without doing a full restore? would there be any problems? any other suggestions?
thanks

Your min is set way too high for one and u should be able to reflash the other kernel with no problems

Make sure you wipe dalvik before flashing another kernel

Happens 3-4 times already,without a reason sometimes when i try to switch it on it shows black screen,i'm trying holding the power button but no use.. only when i remove the battery for minute starts working again.Phone is brand new rooted with stock Rom 2.3.3.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Same for me with superposr rom on Google Nexus s. But never with oxygen rom.
Is flashing custom rom the only solution?

do you have your cpu overclocked, or any undervolt scripts installed? my phone would freeze, or phone would crash if i overclock to high and if i install any undervolt scrips over 25mv
No overclock no scripts, I was thinking about overclock but didn't do it,really start worring now.Thanks for the replay.
what are your cpu settings ? something has to be off. i dont know what else would cause this
245.8 - 1.0 ghz what else you wanna know and thanks for your time, sir.

Go in recovery. Do a full wipe ,then reflash your rom

when you talk about reflashing my rom, what exactly do you mean??
My problem is that I have a stock phone (not rooted, just the stock rom) and I did a factory reset and now my phone goes into that black screen and I can't do anything :S
Oh if your not rooted disregard my earlier post. Only meant for rooted phones. Sorry I'd contact HTC about it and see what they tell ya

So I'm not the only one with this problem ... Wonder what exactly is causing this...

if reflashing your rom didnt fix the issue i would turn your minimum cpu setting up to like 350, something like that. sometimes our phones act funny at low cpu settings. Not all phones, but some. try that and see what happens
So far so good,if it happens again I will try that,thank you for your time.

[Question] Kernel flashing and matrix kernel specifically.

Hello everyone!
Phone: nexus s 3g running stock 4.0.3 with matr1x 14.0 kernel
my 1st question:
i was wondering how can revert back to stock kernel without flashing my stock rom again or going back to my previous backup?
i know it is very easy to switch from kernel to kernel but i would like to know how to switch back to my stock kernel. If you come across a link please send it to me. Thanks much appreciated.
my 2nd question:
my phone reboots the 1st time when loading up matrix kernel.
what happens is i press the power button .. the phone boots up normally then halfway through the animation it gets stuck and the phone reboots BUT this time the boot animation works properly and i am finally booted to my phone. Note that i have absolutely no issues running the kernel + BLn + Voodo etc (also not oced either)
question how can i solve this? is it normal?
I have one last question (sorry lol)
about voodo colour is there anyway of removing the grren flash that i get from unlocking the phone.
i know i can reset to 2.3.3 colours and that does do the trick but i would like to use my own custom settings..
stock 3.0.8 kernel can be found here in 3rd post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399273
Questions regarding matrix should be asked and may already be answered in his thread
And green flash is common on kernels with voodoo it also turns screen green occasionally for me when auto brightness set
not sure how to fix haven't researched doesn't bother me that much

Alright...
First off is this a specific rom? Like kustom kream, nexus beam..
Or just stock ics rooted
Second, try this again.
Get the rom zip again, then get the kernel zip again.
1. Wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache
2. Flash rom
3. Set up rom
4. Go back to cwm
5. Wipe dalvik cache
6. Flash kernel
7. Reboot
Did you do it like that?

im on offical ICS 4.0.3 rom stock (rooted) with matr1x 14.0 CFS
well i downloaded matr1x through rom manager and after wiping dalvik cache i flashed the kernel.
is there anyway of fixing without clearing data? i have a lot of stuff on my phone i would rather not erase... also im on stock ICS so how would go about flashing it again(its not like a rom i can just dl and install or is it)?
speaking of which i know titanium backup backs up apps but does it also backup like my contacts, sms and phone settings etc?
update: i went ahead and only deleted cache and dalvik cache and then installed the kernel again. same problem =/

I'm 17! You want to teach me the basics of modifying roms? How'd you learn? The reason I'm asking is I'm gonna major in computer engineering at Drexel University in Philadelphia. I know Java already.

exact same problem ....
followed ur steps perfectly.
anyways i just restored everything back.
wow your 16 !
im 16 aswell i dont even know the 1st thing about making kernels and so forth lol.
Lol sorry you couldnt get it to work...
The only other suggestion I have is to try another rom...
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
thanks for trying .
anyways the thing is the kernel works perfectly fine other then that and sinc ei dont reboot my phone so much its really not an issue for me.
just another quick thing since that is the only problem i have experienced with the kernel and that everything else is fine working fine should i be worried about stability?
No, the kernel is pretty stable out of the box.

Charging and Kernel question.

Since upgrading the CM9 kernel to a custom one, my phone will not boot once shut off unless I clear cache and dalvik. Is this remotely normal?

Thanks for the reply, anyone now know how to fix it or is it a wipe and reinstall?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
Try reflashing the kernel first and see how it goes. If that doesn't work it is probably best to wipe everything and reinstall.
i had a similar issue with matrix 14.5...it would boot loop unless i cleared the caches...i played around with the voltages and governors for awhile..and it was ok for a day or 2 then it started it again...so i ditched matrix and went with speedy 5 and i havent had a problem yet...

Your phone can't handle undervolt. That's the problem.
I use matr1x, have done since gb days and have never had a problem so its definitely just your phone.
Thanks for all the replies, just went back to stock. Can't have my phone acting up now that I am working. Will reroot once the update to ICS happens on Sprint.

When you really make a clean install of rom and kernel there shoudn't be such problems.
When changing KERNEL always follow this steps !!
1) CWM format /system and /cache
2) go to advanced menu, wipe dalvik.
3) Then reinstall your ROM, then flash kernel right after.
No data loss, system exactly as you left it, only difference is new kernel.
If you are switching to a different ROM, add format /data.

my g2x keeps freezing

My g2x is GB rooted and it keeps freezing! for example I play any games on it and it freezes or i get mulitple txt and it freezes. also any type of browser that I use( dolphin, maxthon, fast, chrome, etc) the will work for a while but it also freezes or if i go to any website like facebook or even google it takes a great while for it to load up! I have full bars and excellent 4G. I should mention that I have the app setcpu almost at max speed thinking the phone wont freeze but it still does.... any suggestion to make the phone not freeze and faster web load like in the past ? thank you for your time

Are you using any apps like setcpu, pimpmycpu, antutu? If not, you are already on stock voltage.
If you are familiar with flashing, flash others GB roms from the dev area. See if it still crashes.

im using the app setcpu because before my phone started to freeze after installing setcpu my phone was working great for a long time until now recently that my phone has started to freeze so much. So i must flash with another rom ? or should i unistall setcpu?

It could be that you need to do a factory reset on your phone and start fresh, that could probably fix your freezing problem.
Also you might also want to look into updating your phone to LG's official 2.3.4 ROM, it is much more stable than the 2.3.3 ROM that your on.

[ROM][STOCK] Samsung Discover SGH-S730M/S730G

For the first custom ROM for the Discover go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2673097
These are stock ROM's for the Samsung Disover SGH-S730M. The will work on the S730G also. I have uploaded these so you can either return to stock or use as a base for your custom development. If you use for custom, please give a mention or a thanks as it took hours upon hours to bring the first flashable ROM to this phone.
Option 1 is bone stock, no root, no busy box, no over clock. After flashing this option CWM will ask you if you want to fix root before you reboot from recovery. Select no. If you want root, download option 2 or 3.
Option 2 is stock, with root and busy box added.
Option 3 is stock, with root, busybox and overclocked to 1000mhz
No other changes have been made.
I have flashed and test all three to verify they are flashing and working properly
Option 1 Download: http://d-h.st/S2R
Option 2 Download: http://d-h.st/cI9
Option 3 Download: http://d-h.st/5FZ
Installation:
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Flash
3. Wipe Dalvik
4. Reboot
Enjoy!
Waaoooo!, i download, try and come back you, great job
Edit: Install download Option 2, work
Thanks. Hopefully having these available will inspire and other devs to use them as a base for their own custom

In the download option 3 you have set kernel with clock at 1000mhz, and he start at 122mhz too ? or it's 245mhz ?
I used option 2 with NoFrillsCPU for setting cpu at 122mhz. I listen music without problem with bluetooth too.
This rom is stable and no problem with battery. Again great job
Minimum is set at 122 max is 1000. It usually runs between 480 and 600, only boosts up to 800-1000 when needed. It's safe to run option 3, and use nofrills, cpu tuner, set cpu etc, and set the max to 800, then if your playing a game or watching you tube, and find your lagging a bit you at least have the option to bump it up to 1000. Then just set it back when your done. That's how I run it

I have no intentions of building an Odin flashable version as of right now. There's no real need for it as of yet, and the risk of hard bricking your device grows exponentially if you get one thing wrong in an Odin flashable tar.md5 vs a flashable zip. What do you need it for?

Great job. Just flashed option 3 to my old Discover. No issues so far. Can't tell if data and all that is good cause I don't have a SIM in it, bit everything else is great. I have a build environment up and ready. Doing some digging and going to try to make 2 different builds for this device. A customizable ROM based on the stock base you've provided, and a CM10 build. Will be a while but may be of some success.

This is precisely the reason I want an odin flashable stock rom before i do anything. The phone is only 4 months old for me, cheap yes but still better to have instanly fixed then wasting $100.
The only thing I have found is flashing the "M" to the "G" you have to manually transfer the apn data after the flash. Or you can't send or recieve mms messages. Other than that no problems.

Ya that's completely to be expected, the M is from Canada, so it has different carrier APN settings. Easy fix. Just google your carriers APN settings and punch them in
