I updated my Hero to AOSP 9.2 Froyo about a month and half ago. Rooting has made my phone so much quicker and just overall more usable and I'm really enjoying my experience so far.
However, there are a few minor things that I have been having issues with, and I was just curious if anybody had any solutions.
1) Sometimes when I text handcent randomly closes. This isn't that big of a deal, but it sucks when it happens after writing a long text or something similar. Sometimes the app just keeps closing after only writing a few words and I have to restart my phone in order for it to work well again.
2) The camera is very inconsistent. When I just boot up the phone, the camera can take pictures without a hitch, however when it is on for a little while it just takes a picture, and then when it is time to display the picture, the screen turn blacks and the camera crashes. I don't take pictures all of the time so it isn't that big of a deal to me, but it sucks that the camera doesn't work for the few times that I do want to take pictures.
3) Despite me overclocking my phone with oveclock widget at its max setting, texting gets laggy and kind of a pain to use.
4) Random apps like Pandora seem to crash all of the time which gets annoying.
I don't really use my phone for much other than texting, making calls, and listening to music when I workout via pandora. Rooting has made my experience with all of these things much better in comparison to stock. At the same time though, I'm just curious if there's anything that I can do to improve the stability of the phone.
As for the apps that I have installed there's
Overclock widget
Pandora
Launcher Pro
Jewels
Random facts
Fandango
Youmail
ROM Manager
Handcent
Google Apps
There's not a lot of things running in the background I make share to clear my texting threads and call logs often, so I'm curious as to why things are crashing and slowing down because I'm really making sure that I don't stress this phone.
