Root [ROM] Sleipnir v2.4.0.5 - 10/24/13 - VM & SPRINT

Weird issue with my cell with this ROM...

It will still randomly reboot once in awhile. This time it rebooted and went into "Safe Mode?"

Restarted it, this time myself, and my widgets aren't there anymore (Disappeared since safemode)

I can manually add them, but why is it restarting...? Happens once every other day about
 
I have been having a lot of random reboots too. A couple days ago my mobile would reboot almost finish scanning the uSD and then reboot, but not fully to the LG screen, just my boot animation. It did this constantly for about 30 minutes. Pulled the battery and it still was doing it. Pulled again held power for 30 seconds and it was fine until this morning, it was totally off and I nearly over slept for work (luckily the cat was making lots of noise in the litter box). Once I booted it I got another 30 minutes or so of random reboots, just as I was about to wipe and flash my deodexed stock ROM it stopped on it own.

Finally have a case open with VMU/Sprint for this piece of crap device. Hopefully there will be a fix for me in the near future.

In the mean time I am backing up my SMS/MMS and going to reflash.

I had a similar issue when using the theme chooser with Sleipnir. Breaking the reboot with a manual reboot right after it gets in the OS worked.
 
Sorry for the lack of posts this past week or two - I've been sick in the hostpital for a week. Turns out that illness I had got much worse, and was paired by a different one that goes hand in hand. I'm alive, though, and getting better. Sounds like you guys are having random reboot problems - I haven't had any. Nor am I having any problems attaching a photo via the gallery via the stock MMS app. So, what I'm going to do if upload the current test build tonight - I don't remember what's changed aside from being able to get the search button -> camera remap functionality online, but there were a few things in the background, and the search/camera remap has been moved to Hydra. Sleipnir is going to be barebones, how stock should have been. If you want to change something like the status bar, the directions and methods of doing so are simple and stated in the Hydra OP, feel free to do it yourself. Working on a ROM, or making one your own, is easy, and I encourage and have documented how to do so - also easily, and readily available, I cannot cater to everyone and will not try to waste time doing so. Input is always welcome, as per usual, but only to make the ROM better for everyone, not just one person or a few people. Development, what little is left, for this ROM will pick back up once I'm 100%, but since what I'm on currently is working correctly and there appears to be a couple issues with the current RC build, I'm going to release what I'm on now. Also, I don't know about anyone else, but random reboots appear to be 'normal,' this is something I've experienced on the three OE's I've owned, on stock, pre and post ZV4/5 firmware. Another bug one can find that is also present on the phone out of the box, is a Bluetooth reboot bug, whereby if you turn on bluetooth, try connecting to a device via bluetooth, and turn off bluetooth mid-way through the connecting process, the phone's screen will flicker a couple of times, go black, and reboot from the bootanimation point. Also, for those wondering, and I'm not sure if it was mentioned in this thread or not, but the theme chooser is outdated and Hashtag has said this himself. It has issues with Sleipnir's theme, for a few different reasons. And, if you're going to modify or create your own theme, as I've said before use the one in Aeneas or Hydra. A modified Sleipnir theme isn't going to work properly on Sleipnir if you're not going to be thorough (there are extra files, changes to xml, etc.), though it should on other ROMs (including Hydra). There is also sections on how to report a problem that have been added to both the OP, and the CWM FAQ-GUIDE.
 
Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Anyone having boot issues, have you moved any downloaded apps to a system app?
This was causing my phone to reboot about 2-4 minutes after finishing scanning the sd card. Had to format the system and then reinstall the ROM.

Wasn't trying to complain or anything, LOVE the ROM regardless. Wouldn't surprise me if bluetooth was the culprit, I use that daily. I'll try without it and see if I get reboots.

Get well soon!
Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Confused as to what the bold means. How do you move an app to a system app...or what does that mean lol?
 
What's the best battery saving governor and frequencies? My battery lately has been crazy bad even when using smartassv2 300-1200.
 
I don't think there is any reason to have your minimum set so high. I would scale back to 245 and if you want more battery life try conservative or scary.
 
I hope u recover quickly, sorry to hear ur I'll. When u get better can u help new understand this issue? I tried to update to 2.3.9 I backed up the apps on TB I backed up the Rom and thought that would fix my memory issues, I think I have to many back ups but when I check to c Wuts backed up it said there is none??? I tried to partition my sd card to make more room on the internal memory but the recovery doesn't show that option can. I'll try to attach a screen shot of the memory.

Make sure you use JuiceDefender. Def noticed a big difference. Check your background apps, or get a new battery if that ones on its way out.

Mine is 245-1600 I think, lasts me a decent 12yrs moderate usage throughout the day

Wow, you must have ones of those new fandagled plasma injected flux capacited batteries. Were do I get one? Lulz. :-)
 
Nice ROM and I have a suggestion for the future. You should build a lite version w/out the preinstalled and replacement apps. I am sure a lot of people would rather add those add needed on their own. If it would take too much time though I understand.

Edit: I just noticed the poll so yeah my vote would be to have 2 separate builds.
 
I still swear by smartassV2, but everyone has their own preferences. I still get 2 1/2 days on light usage, a day on moderate-heavy (GPS, 3G, etc.). The default governor is smartassV2. If you have a CPU Tuner app (you should), make sure it's on if you're having problems. This is something I noticed two weeks ago where the battery couldn't last the usual time (noticeably), checked the app, found out it wasn't on for some reason.

This has already been addressed since the poll, and the changes have been made.
 
Artine... In the 2.3.8.version you had this really cool menu that would pop up when I selected the search button, it have me extra options like screenshots, etc.....I updated to 2.3.9 and now I have no functions at all when selecting the search button, what happened to those options and could you possibly give me a way to add that back into this new version, it was very useful for me, and congrats, another great version

Prior to the search -> camera remap being figured out, pressing or holding the search button either force-closed on me or just pulled up the search function like normal, so I have no idea what you're talking about. When I'm good to go, I can look into it, but I'm not even sure where I'd start.
