Root Villain12 rebooting

I have the same problem sometimes when I use dolphin browser and loaded a few heavy sites (2 or 3) and when I quit them all sometimes rosie reboots…

Don't know why though

Rosie restarting is not the same issue. That is due to minfree being set too high, so when your phone needs more RAM it will start killing processes. Unfortunately Rosie has quite a high runlevel so is not seen as essential by minfree and will be closed. Try turning down your settings in AutoKiller. You can also lower the runlevel of Rosie in Autokiller but this cannot be saved so will be reset if you reboot.

Are you over clocking? It sounds like you phone is over clocking faster than the processor can cope with. Each individual phone (not model, each phone) will have a different limit. Try bringing it down a notch and see if you still have a problem.

I use Setcpu. It was set at 710, phone seized up solid.
Dropped it to 691mhz and it seemed fine, then started rebooting a lot.
Just dropped it again to 652mhz.......I'll let ya know on that one.

Still rebooted. Dropped it again to 614mhz to try that.
On the Overclock widget, it only went up to 610 and I wasn't getting this problem, so we'll see if it sorts it at 614

I have been getting reboots from the camera app on every rom since I made the move to 2.1. The first rom I tried was villain 10 which is when I noticed the issue, 12 was the same, and even froyo, the only rom which doesn't reboot is modacos which did not have apps to sd. Using rcmix 1.0 at the moment which is a phenomenal rom, easily the quickest, comes with swype too. For your issue, what card are you using? Could be the phone having problems if it can't read and write the apps quick enough. Or could be a lack of available ram when u open an app , also what task killer are you using, try using your phone with no task killer to see if it changes anything. Keep your set cpu on 691 mhz, all hero s should be able to get to that.

Using a class 6 sdcard, so should be ok on that front, no task killer at all, and just gone back to 691mhz to try it again. At 614mhz, it didn't reboot at all. Also got 141mb of phone memory free.
I'll give this rcmix 1.0 a go....got a linky thingamejig for it?;)

Well I have to say it seems a very good little ROM.
Slug, if you do try it, if you are using SetCpu, can you let me know the max it will let you clock to? Mine will only allow 528mhz, others say they are putting it at 691 but mine won't let me

Thanks

Sorry i've been away for a while, the rcmix rom is great and not as popular as the others but it works like a dream with very few problems.

I can get my setcpu freq to 730mhz before i start getting freezes, but to be fair i don't need it to go that high, ondemand at 691 max and 116 min is just right for me as it saves on battery.

Sorry i didnt post you a link too :(

Anyone had any ideas about my problem i said about the camera rebooting the phone since 2.1 on any rooted rom ??? Its a stinker of a bug and no one recognises it as a bug, but there are plenty of ppl who have the same problem.

I started a thread a while ago on here and not one person has even replied lol.

Glad u like the rcmix rom, it is a good one, swype keyboard is a great little implemented tool too, plus the brut maps and nav.

It comes with Swype pre-installed?

Oops! I didn't read the full description, just copied the thread link when I located it. In my defense it was only a link to a thread on another forum, but consider me warned anyway. :eek:

I may still try it (once I get my current setup stabilised again) sans Swype. Even if I don't keep the ROM the kernel might be useful. ;)

The Swype company weren't happy about all the leaked beta .apks that were being shared over the internet.

I don't think they've ever done much about it, but to keep Android Forums in the clear the mods don't want us posting links to the .apks.

Hi,
I am developper of RCMix and i am glad you like my rom :)
i just want to say that swype in my rom is not a "leaked" beta, it is fully OEM version from HTC Slide phone... so it is not any warez or leaked version...
but it supports just english and spanish.
cheers guys!

Ah, cool I didn't realise that. It's just that the original leaked beta (in like January or so) was what originally brought about the no linking to Swype rule. That's why I mentioned it. Still, I think the Swype guys would be against you porting their software to the phones of people who didn't pay for it.

(Although personally I'd love to try out the OEM version of Swype :p)
