Thank you

I'll be honest. I'm so confused as to what you are asking. Could you simplify your question a little bit please? What is the problem you are having? Thanks

mariadroid · June 24th, 2012, 04:34 PM

that is the one that i did and it is when it locked up and had to use exitzip to recovery my phone...every since then it has a hard time running

mariadroid · June 24th, 2012, 04:45 PM

my phone is moving very slow..it takes a while to get into any application or even going into any acreen..even when i open it from the unlock screen it is super slow...i dont know if its suppose to be like this or if i did something wrong when installing

Do you clean out your cache often?

Download an app from Google Play called Android Assistant. It has 18 features that also includes cleaning the cache on your phone. Cache builds up if it's not clean out regularly and it can slow the phone greatly.

Try this and see if this helps

Here's the link

Also the more apps you have running in the background, the more memory they are going to eat up thus slowing the phone down tremendously.

Check settings/running apps and make sure nothing is running that shouldn't be.

mariadroid · June 24th, 2012, 06:16 PM

ok cleared everything and even deleted some apps that are just sitting there and still no luck...tried playing a game and it keeps locking up...tried running my "Siri" Sam assistant app and it locked up had to take out the battery.....

Locking up? Hmmmmm. Well it's not going to do it just for no reason. I'm thinking it might have to do with the ROM and maybe it was a bad install.

You can always just start fresh and re flash your ROM to rule out that. If it still persist after that then it's a bad app somewhere or something like that.

mariadroid · June 24th, 2012, 06:26 PM

ok i was wondering if i could redo it.......just not sure how..the first time i tried to redo it and it got caught in a boot loop and had to use exitzip....how should i redo it?

Save the ROM you want to install and put it on your SD card. Boot into recovery and wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. Then install zip from Sd card and choose your ROM.

make sure your apps are backed up and contacts are backed up to your sd card as it will erase those.

mariadroid · June 24th, 2012, 07:31 PM

can i do a hard reset with the sd card inserted or will it wipe that one out also?

DO NOT DO A HARD RESET.

Do you have recovery installed? If its not installed then it wont boot into it?

CWM Recovery is installed through the app ROM manager.

mariadroid · June 24th, 2012, 08:11 PM

ok i did find another rom to install because i think there was something wrong with the one i was using so i have installed the new and waiting for it to reboot...fingers crossed

That is what we are here for.

What ROM did you end up going with?

Future reminder. ONLY do factory resets through recovery. NEVER EVER through settings/privacy.

I personally dont think so. It lags really bad for me. #2 is about the best all around with the best battery life that your gonna get.

You can flash any of the themes we have available too from the guide at the top of the main page
