Root {DISCONTINUED}MegaTron 6.2.5 (Updated 7/13/13)

Nice one, Mav. :)

So while you're available, I'd like your expert opinion on something...

Since initial release, I've been having stability issues with Megatron on my phone (100% sure that I'm to blame, and not the ROM). Things like apps taking 5+ seconds to open or close, not receiving Gmail emails for hours on end, then receiving them all in one big bunch, touchscreen behaving at times like I'm back on 2.3.4...just to name a few things off the top of my head.

Earlier today, I was having issues with Play music not wanting to work, so I went into manage apps, force-closed, cleared app data, and then tried to reboot. When I pressed reboot, nothing would happen for 5-10 seconds, then I'd get a FC error for Xperia launcher. After the second or third time, I gave up and pulled battery. When I rebooted, No-Frills popped up saying it couldn't apply settings because of an unclean shutdown and wanted to reboot again, so I let it. When the phone came on the second time, No-Frills came up and said "Success! min:245" (I had originally set it to 368). Since then, everything's been running smooth as butter as it should, and no issues. So could the higher min settings have been causing issues?

Everyone who is having music app woes please install winamp and play a song in it.. your music app is now fixed.. dunno why but I saw this in blood's ctmod thread and it works a charm.

I'm sure everyone means well in their compliments but I would like to suggest that people refrain from pitting roms against eachother. The devs here are great and you may think that one rom is better then all the others but declaring all other roms inferior may discourage other devs from wanting to continue to work in this community!

Mav and chev, this is an excellent piece of software. I am thoroughly enjoying it! Thanks for the timely updates and the killer theme!

Did you restore any of your backups from previous ROMs or GB versions?
I've notice the bug that you are talking about. Specifically on the FF27 update because when i was working on root for it and test apps like es file explorer to see if it works it take comes up with a black screen with the statusbar still there and it takes a good 3-5 seconds for the the app to fully open. Even when overclocked it does that weird.

I can flash all the themes except for the stock uot. i keep getting "installation aborted"

Its not a flashable.zip its for UOT use of when people want to make their pwn themes. If they use UOT off the current theme they are more than likely to get there statusbar killed on boot. So whenever you wannt make a UOT theme just extract that sip and you will find a framework-res.apk and a systemui.apk use those files when UOT ask for them.

Nope, other than my apps and data from 6.0 to 6.0.1, I haven't restored anything since flashing Blood's CTMod; fresh installs all the way, otherwise. And I was having troubles with 6.0, as well.

Anyway, another piece to the puzzle: just happened to check the "About" page on the launcher, and it appears it reset back to the 0.8 that comes pre-installed with MegaTron, from the 0.9 i installed last night. :p Oh well... I can live without the option of backing up and restoring my launcher settings if it means stability and performance from the device as a whole.

Thanks for looking out for me, though, Chev. People like you are the reason I hope to become a dev, myself. ;)

There is no overclocking or changing the I0 scheduler so, there is absolutely no reason to even open no frills cpu until we get the OC kernel..
you'er trying to change settings that are not allowed with a stock kernel
