New phone nothing but trouble
 

I'm new to this whole flashing thing but I'm pretty good about reading and searching.

I just got a Verizon Touch Pro and I've tried multiple ROMs on it all with the same problem. TouchFlo 3D just keeps restarting. I've tried Juicy 8, latest MightyROM, latest Energy, latest SSS all with the same problem. It'll say tap here to launch touchflo 3d then it'll launch then as soon as I start doing some stuff or sometimes even without doing anything it will crash and restart.

I tried changing the Page Pool on all these images to 8 MB since the verizon phone is a bit crippled. This is driving me nuts! Any help would be appreciated...

I've got a gimped VZW bundle of joy also. I have changed the pagepool to 8mb on each rom I've installed as well. I've had the best luck running Calkulin's roms even though this 004 rom blew up on me last week:( I just reinstalled the same rom yesterday and I'm rolling fine again.
I haven't had any real problems running Touch Flo. Seems to work pretty decent to me. Just make sure you cook your own rom and things should be good if you don't install all the junk.

Re: New phone nothing but trouble
 

So you've had the same TouchFlo restarting problems on other ROMs you tried? I mean it happens as soon as I load my contacts on a brand new reflash. I'm starting to think I got a lemon and maybe I should try replacing it.

Any Verizon users out there using any of these ROMs with no problem:
SSS
Energy
Juicy 8
MightyROM

Thanks!

Re: New phone nothing but trouble
 

have you tried a fresh flash with a hard reset? Sometimes this clears up some bugs. Also if it happeneds when you load your contacts you might have a bad contact info or somethign. I would try create like 5 fake contacts after the flash see if it works fine most likely it will. Then you know something is wrong with a contact or 2. Depends on how much work you wana put into finding the problem.

Or

You can just give up on TF3D!

Re: New phone nothing but trouble
 

These are all fresh flashes with hard resets. If this is due to a problem with one of my contacts do you think it would happen even if I'm not touching that contact or opening it at the time?

Re: New phone nothing but trouble
 

i dont think so.heres what i would do flash back to stock hard reset then try flashing any rom you want sometimes that will get the bug out .if that doesnt work flash back to stock relock and return it.

I haven't had any Touch Flo restarting problems. I've tried a few other rom's for fun but I always gravitate back to Calkulin's kitchens. They run the fastest for me and I have the least trouble with.
The other roms you've mentioned work good for me but seems to be slower on my VZW ramLESS wonder:)

Re: New phone nothing but trouble
 

Well then you found your issue. Your running a ROM designed for another device!

Have you tried my ROM? Tailored for, tested on, released for the VZW Pro. Only kitchen on PPC Geeks or XDA devoted to the VZW Pro.

I can tell you right now.... My manila doesnt do that ;c)

Check me out at SSKUsers.net

Re: New phone nothing but trouble
 

As for the resetting TF3D...does this happen right after the flash? or only after you have synced? If it only happens after you synced my guess would be you have WAY too many contacts and your running out of ram trying to store them all. Try setting your pagepool to 6 on your next flash, shut off voice command if you have it in your rom (simply cook it out or delete the shortcut in windows/startup)


Hey Scott,
Where is your kitchen at with rhodium and tachi dialer?
Have you incorporated them yet?

Re: New phone nothing but trouble
 

So I finally figured it out thanks to everybody's help here. It ended up being a corrupted contact. I synce my contacts 20 or 30 at a time until I found it. Once I deleted that contact and recreated it everything was fine.

I'm grateful that this problem has led me to Scott's great ROMs though. I think that's what I'm sticking with from now on with my seriously crippled VZW Touch Pro.

Re: New phone nothing but trouble
 

yes scott's SSK series is a godsend for the vzw touch pro.

Re: New phone nothing but trouble
 

i dont know why people think the vzw touch pro is so bad, honestly its the best phone ive ever had, even if it doesnt have as much ram, i always make my roms for my vzw touch pro
