Looks like the CM folks got 4G working on the EVO, but they still need to clean it up a bit (4g icon etc) before including it in a nightly build. Finally true AOSP with 4g!!

Installed Cyanogenmod 6.1.1 and it's like having a new phone. She's going to be pissed that her Angry Birds scores are gone, but at least it's playable now. Is there a one stop shop walkthrough on getting a factory myTouch Slide to the latest CM release? Getting really sick of listening to my girlfriend bitch about how lovely mySense is and how often system processes crash. I know literally nothing about the dev community on this phone and I loathe searching on XDA.

FogHelmut posted:Is there a way to unroot the Evo from Unrevoked3? I've been trying for 2 days now using various methods, and none work. It's not just simply "reflash a stock RUU." I get a message "wrong bootloader" or it wont even put the phone into bootloader through the RUU. One of the PC36IMG.ZIP methods gives me the message, "Main is older!" and wont run. Fixed it finally. The ROM I had on there wouldn't let the Stock RUU go into bootloader. It let me flash Fresh through the SD card. Then I tried a stock RUU but it said I had the version was older, so I did the 3.30 Stock RUU and it worked. Hooray.

Good news! GB is being pushed to AOSP as we speak. Although this is an interesting note that I haven't seen said on either the ADP1, ADP2 (ION) or N1:Jean-Baptiste Queru posted:Even though Nexus S is designed to be suitable for AOSP work, there http://groups.google.com/group/android-building/browse_thread/thread/091172a81604c8a0?pli=1 This reads like Samsung fuckery.

Penguissimo posted:I've gotten really weird results (including missing Market apps) using ROM Manager, and I don't think I'm the only one. It's probably worth manually downloading and re-flashing both the update and the Google apps packages. Maybe even worth trying once without a wipe, but of course you should be ready to do it again with a wipe if that doesn't work out. That fixed it. I downloaded Cyanogen 6.1.2 + Google Apps, rebooted into Clockwork, did a factory wipe and cache wipe, then installed both from .zip files. Works like a charm and Tweetdeck was the first result of a market search as expected. Thanks! Is it possible to get Launcher2 back though? ADWLauncher is fine, but I accidentally dragged an icon over the "App Drawer" once and never figured out how to get it back. Unboxing Day fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Dec 17, 2010 |

Hey folks, about to flash my first ROM on my Vibrant and I have some really basic and probably stupid questions that I may answer myself. All of my photos/videos/downloads are saved to the memory on the phone (Vibrant has ~16gb onboard), when I flash to a new ROM, will I lose all of them? A little while earlier I upgraded to a 4gb microSD from the 2gb that came with the phone, should I move over the DCIM & downloads folder to the SD card temporarily then move them back once I install the ROM? (I would copy them all to my PC HD but I left my USB cable at work) Thanks for the help guys

It's a good idea to have that stuff backed up anyway, but back in my Vibrant rom flashing days, the ~13GB of onboard storage was untouched when I flashed roms. It acted just like a SD card does on any other phone.

Some of the 2.2 ROMS have been randomly wiping everything, so back everything up like Civil suggested and pop out the SD card to be on the safe side.

Primworm posted:You can use Titanium backup to backup all user apps and system data, this will save everything for you, including desktop state. I also have an OG droid and I sometimes run into a blank ADW screen, but only for a few seconds and maybe once a day if I let my phone turn off inside an app. I am overclocked at 1100 Mhz but still controlled by setCPU, so that helps, and while I have a slightly weaker battery, I have a great phone still. I hope this helped! If I use titanium to backup user apps and system data and restore this when I update to 6.1.2, this won't booger poo poo up will it? I'm going to clean wipe from 6.1.0 RC5 to 6.1.2.

Getting really sick of listening to my girlfriend bitch about how lovely mySense is and how often system processes crash. I know literally nothing about the dev community on this phone and I loathe searching on XDA. I used this method: http://theunlockr.com/2010/08/16/how-to-root-the-htc-mytouch-slide-exploid-method/ The only issue I had was the update.zip and ESPRIMG.zip files didn't get pushed to the SD card the first time, so I was left with scratching my head when the "Flash the Engineering SPL" part didn't match up. One other confusing part was when it was looking for the ESPRIMG.zip file, there were messages that made it seem the file was missing or signed incorrectly. You need to wait for the blue bar on the top right to fill up and it will continue. BTW, I solved the adfree issue. Install adfree first and attempt to update the hosts file. After that: 1. adb shell reboot recovery 2. Run clockwork recovery 3. adb shell 4. mount /system Don't worry if you get an error on steps 5 and 6. It probably means that it's already mounted.) 5. mount /data 6. mount /sdcard 7. cp /sdcard/hosts /data/data/hosts 8. mv /system/etc/hosts /system/etc/hosts.bak 9. ln -s /data/data/hosts /system/etc/hosts Then reboot.

MIUI was neat but definitely moving back to CM after the shitfest I've been dealing with/watching unfold the last few weeks and tonight. The people who handle translation are children and annoying at best. It only compounds the annoying-ness of how MIUI is updated weekly.. with the updates come random bugs which are ignored until the next update where surprise! more updates. ...It's like watching a monkey drink its own piss and slowly kill itself.

No. Android idles on UMTS to save power and switches to HSPA during data transfer. Not the same as HSDPA+ or whatever its called. CM is simply showing you what Android did stock behind the scenes.

I have a TMobile Vibrant I use on AT&T and while traveling. I got it running smoothly with the original ROM (and GPS finally showing me as being in the same state). I've been waiting to go to 2.2 until T-Mobile releases a 2.2 version for the community to work with, but with them promising it a few weeks ago and the Canada one rolling back, I figured I should just go with what is out there. XDA has like 30 2.2 Vibrant roms. Which one is recommended for stability and GPS still working?

From what I understand: the system's hardware talks to the kernel, and the kernel talks to the ROM. It manages the systems resources. Most custom kernels are designed to improve on how those resources are managed, ie by scaling CPU when possible to save battery life. Amateur programmers are usually professional programmers from other companies or industries. They don't have any business infrastructure and have a relationship with users that doesn't require them to releasing it in a 'perfect' form. Bazaar > Cathedral, yo.

b0nes posted:so what'w the difference between a kernel and a ROM? Also tell me why a few amateur programmers can get 2.3 ported to phones but big companies full of professionals can't do it? The kernel is Linux. A ROM contains Android which is a whole other layer on top of Linux as well as whatever apps the ROM creator packaged. I would guess that the reason it seems like amateurs are able to get 2.3 on a device much easier than the "pros" is because the "pros" have all kinds of tests and edge cases that the phone has to meet, whereas the amateurs just have to make it run, and they do that with varying degrees of effectiveness. I say all this with little experience in the rooted Android community, and a poo poo ton of experience in the WinMo ROM community, and as a software developer. So that means I'm giving you an educated guess.

What Thermopyle said, even as amazing as it is Cyanogenmod is bound to have one or two hiccups eventually that consumers aren't usually willing to put up with (although CM6 is probably more stable and reliable than anything on the Moment, or phones like the Eris which had tons of issues with 2.1.)Maker Of Shoes posted:I always get those 2 mixed up.

How do I know if I'm running the latest version of the radio and when is it a good idea to upgrade it? (All I really know about the radio upgrade is that if you gently caress it up, you can brick your phone.) EDIT: BTW, when I was googling for info, I found this: http://newbestgadget.com/cell-phone/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-slide-android-smartphone-review-and-spec quote:The myTouch 3G Slide’s radio is capable of theoretical 7.2 Mbps downloads and supports T-Mobile’s 21 Mbps HSPA+ network — currently implemented in Philadelphia, parts of Las Vegas, New York City, New Jersey, Long Island, and Washington, D.C. The article was written in May, so I doubt it's accurate. But still... EDIT 2: Is this normal 3G speed?
