Does Your TP2 Corrupts Itself and Loses Registry Settings?

[mwalt2]

OP, are you flashing back to a shipped ROM or using Task29 between flashes? Data is somehow left over when flashing multiple custom ROMs and can cause your phone to reset itself.

Yes, always do that. Otherwise everything you delete is still in the phone.

Also, the phone enables the security lock due to timeout even if I am using Google Maps while it is running with a route to a destination, super annoying.

I guess it's time to redo my phone for the 3rd time and this time avoid any distros with eye-candy like Cookie (CHT).

Frak! Why can't there be one good, stable, usable distro ROM that is recommended above all others so I don't feel like I'm alpha testing a 3-year old phone at this point!

Give LEAD ROM a try. Looks like stock Sprint, but runs much better. No eye candy or fluff. Overclocked it's real snappy. Get SKTools to recover RAM and cleanup temp files and such.

I've recently upgraded my SanDisk MicroSD Ultra 2GB Class 6 card to a more spacious SanDisk MicroSDHC Ultra 8GB Class 4 that is a little slower for my wife and I. These are premium cards and I've always found SanDisk to be reliable, unlike other SD cards that I've seen actually corrupt themselves when my friends complain about their cameras and phones. The same corruption happens to both our phones when we were running MightyROM and it has happened a few times each for us, that is why I am dumping that ROM and went looking elsewhere. So 2-phones and 4-SD cards and still same corruption, I chock it up to the ROM.

I'll run the Energy 29007 ROM for now since I don't have the time today to reflash it and reconfigure everything, if it screws up majorly or I find some show stopper bugs I'll go to something else, Vin's or Lead ROM.

I never ran Task29.exe "format binfs" since none of the instructions for any of the previous ROM's needed to do that. I used to cook my ROMs with PPC Kitchen until their packages got long in the tooth and I don't quite remember if there was a Task28 or Task29 included in their flasher. Why is Task29 even necessary when a regular ROM flash does the same thing as a quick format on a hard drive? The left over data is still there in the unwritten sectors but because it is not referenced in the file table those blocks never get read or written since they are listed as unallocated. Unless there is a serious bug in the file system driver in WinMO that mistakenly reads or writes to the wrong unallocated blocks then there should be no need for explicit binfs format on the entire FlashROM.

i have an A-Data 16gb card in my TP2 and it runs just fine. sandisk is overpriced IMO. and i have about 6000 texts here in Vin's ROM (forgot to clear them at new years)and everything is still running stable. and yea CHT usually does gobble up the RAM, but to the point where theres 32MB at boot i dont know,when i had it i booted with 64MB and this was with the stock rom plus the tweaks. switch to Vins ROM ASAP, u wont regret it. i would recommend lead rom but it has problems with text entry,the opera browser and mms.
