Verizon TP works imediately after flashing new rom, but stuck boot splash thereafter

Sounds to me like your Pagepool is set too high....

Change the settings for pagepool in the kitchen to 12 or 8.

I'm guessing you have just enough ram left to boot and run customizations but once customization runs there isn't enough ram left to boot.

Usually because pagepool is set to high on a VZW phone since it has less ram than other carrier versions of the TP.

I think PPC Kitchen defaults to 24...

You can fix this without cooking again....
Run pagepoolchanger (usually in the RUU folder) and select the RUU_Signed.nbh file...
change the pagepool to 12 select change and close when done...

Then simply reflash the rom and you should be good to go.

Thank you SO much for this insight. I will give this a try late this evening probably... (assuming I can figure out how to change all this pagepool stuff successfully, this is the first time I've even heard the term so a little bit of new territory here).

I would have never figured that out on my own.


Do you think it's likely that I selected TOO much stuff in my kitchen? I know I'm like a kid on a shopping spree when I cook a rom... As the band Queen once said, "I want it all, and I want it now".

Yep it's very possible you installed too much...

What I did with the PPCKitchen was to always save a base configuration with just the bare minimums...

Then I always had a clean slate template to work from.

Then from that template slowly add in only items that required being installed into device and tested each one for quirks and incompatabilities.

Anything that could be run from the storage card was installed after flashing.

If the PPCKitchen doesn't have a pagepool changer in the RUU folder (check other folders of the kitchen)
Download this....

looks like you can adjust the pagepool size. If I'm reading it correctly, ppckitchen had it set to 64

I changed it to 12, and it had an option of either dynamic or static. I picked the first one "dynamic". Not sure what either choice would do...

I also seriously scaled down my rom and am taking your advice and will add stuff onto the microsd card instead. Not sure if I'll actually FINISH this as it's really late and I'm leaving right after work to go camping for the weekend...

But I really appreciate your help SOOO much.

OK use static not dynamic...

Dynamic WILL work but what your essentially doing is telling the phone to ignore PP settings and letting it make it as big as it wants....You will still run out of memory often with dynamic setting...

Set it to 12 with a static pagepool.

Good Luck!
