Default [Q] Zipnets ROM rebooting/restarting mytouch 4g automatically

I've installed Zipnet's ICS on my mytouch 4g and now my phone sometimes reboots by itself. its doing it numerous times. When I turn off screen, and just try to turn back on, the buttons would light up, but the screen is still off. And then after a few moments, it restarts.

Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks

I've had that problem with a lot of older ICS ROMs. Try something newer or at least a newer kernel.

Do you have a recommended ICS Rom that I should look into? I'm currently using Zipnet's v.4.05. Also, for the kernel, do I have to look for one that is specifically used on ICS? or can any kernel do? Sorry I'm still new to these things,

Thanks

Kernels are Android version specific. You'll need an ICS kernel. I would hate to recommend a ROM because I don't want to insult any dev's. Also, I don't try them all.

Look for anything released within the last month.

Here is a rundown of some ROM types.

AOSP: Also called "Vanilla." Pure or as close to pure Google source as possible. Not really any extra frills.

AOKP: AOSP plus tweaks and mods. These ROMs will contain the ROM Control app and are very customizable. Includes changable battery icons with ROM Control.

CM9 - Compiled (at some point) from CyanogenMod 9 source. Contains AOSP plus CM tweaks and extras including cpu control and power widget in status bar.

Sense 3.6/4: ICS Sense. 3.6 is a little more bloated than Sense 4, but both are nice. Camera does not work yet, but devs are hard at work on this as usual.

MIUI v4: MIUI allows themes galore as well as backup/restore between versions. Weekly updates.

Some others you might look into are MexDroidMod, Paranoid Android and DianXin.
