Godzilla07 posted:The battery meter still sucks poo poo. I'm back to having a widget on my desktop until someone makes a new circle battery meter for 2.3. Have you tried this? I know it works great on Froyo but I don't know about Gingerbread. I'm guessing it might work since you upload your framework-res.apk to make sure it's customized for your ROM. But maybe Gingerbread is too different from Froyo, I'm just guessing. http://circle.glx.nl/

I'm sure this gets asked every so often but what is the most up to date, stable, etc. ROM that I should install on my Vibrant since Samsung are a bunch of shitheads and I'm ready to update to 2.2+. Either stock or a modified version is fine, I'm just looking for opinions on the "best". I've never installed a rom on this phone, but ran several on previous android phones. Also any special things I need to be aware of on this phone? I am rooted and Titanium backed up.

I miss MIUI  The along-the-top-bar battery meter is the best battery meter ever created, and being stuck with the stock GB battery meter is rough for telling the remaining battery life. Yeah, I have BattStatt, I just miss the loving top bar battery meter.

I'm using MinimalisticText on the desktop for a battery "meter" right now because it fits well with my overall theme. And I did not realize you have to flash the GApps package every single time you update, that sucks, but it's only 10 extra seconds or so.

I thought your problem was that you couldn't get the phone into download mode When I'm in download mode, it shows "Unknown USB Device". It's weird because when I have it plugged in during any other mode, it shows up as "Samsung Composite USB Device".

Have you tried deleting all related drivers with USBDeview as an admin(x86 here/64-bit here)and starting from fresh? That sorted it when USB shenanigans happened with my HTC.

Not really a question about rooting, but is anyone else having trouble with Google Voice sending text notifications even though the option is off? Also, what is the consensus on app killing in CM7? I know there was discussion of whether it's necessary at all, but what do you guys think?

I'm using Nero5 atm, and I'm sure we'll see Nero6 in the next few days as a new build of Froyo was leaked yesterday and the new modem is significantly better. Just make sure you read the directions exactly (that means let it sit for 15 minutes after the first boot, then reboot), and don't restore system data in TB. Also, it doesn't hurt to make a nandroid back up through CWM if you want a second back up. Just copy that and the TB folder to a computer in case you have a freak accident. You most likely won't need it, but good backup habits never hurt when you're dicking around with an expensive phone.

Hmm, I didn't wait and installed the newest Axura? rom from yesterday. Unfortunately I did restore system data with TB, what kind of problems will that cause (what exactly is system data) and should I re-install the rom? It is working fine, btw. I also went ahead and installed the KA6 modem and it works great too.

It's the same as a phone - as long as you have CWM installed and don't try to kill it + your rom simultaneously, you should be absolutely fine.

zamin posted:Wasn't sure about it, though since the update.zip is ~93MB and the md5 verified Odin .tar is almost 300MB. The Odin .tar is much bigger than the update because it contains a complete image of all the device filesystems and installs by reflashing everything. Whereas the update.zip only contains the updated components.

Do you have some that are on the phone only and not synced to your Google account? Because if they're all Google account contacts then you don't need to do anything, it should go automatically.

I'm running at 900, I haven't bothered with the 950 because I'm too lazy to do so. Some people get 1ghz running somewhat, and the dev is convinced it's just getting the voltages right. ZShakespeare posted:What are the prospects of Honeycomb running on the nook?  We have pretty much no information on it. At least 2 Team douche coders and plenty of talented XDA devs are working on it, so if it's possible on the hardware, we'll likely see it in some form or another. Which will be good, cause emulating soft keys blows. BTW, which of you goons IM'd me about Nook Color and MIUI this weekend? I was in North Carolina and my phone was off so I missed it and you never responded again.

What are you guys using in terms of clock/weather widget on CM7? I had the Weather Channel's widget on there, but it seems to have broken... SiMi Clock Widget doesn't seem to work, either.

Zarkov Cortez posted:This is related to the discussion from the general thread and motorola's locked bootloaders, Motorola's original Droid is open. The Droid Incredible is made by HTC and I believe is easily hacked. The Droid X and Droid 2 both have locked bootloaders that have not been cracked, but both phones have been rooted and can have something very similar to a custom ROM installed (I believe just the kernel can't be changed, but kernel-modifying scripts can be run during runtime).

Barring physical damage, it'll always be able to boot off an SD card and from there you can fix it. But if you have clockwork installed, someone made a zip to restore completely back to stock, including the recovery partition.
