ExcessBLarg! posted:A bunch of folks run DK28. The consensus is that it's not as polished/snappy as Eclair, but there's not too many problems with it. A lot of folks ran into GPS problems immediately after upgrading, but apparently if you get a GPS lock right before installing DK28 it should work fine. Thanks. I passed this along. He's trying some ROM out now just for fun...but I don't remember which one. He's holding off on the Froyo for now though. On an unrelated note - Anyone know how to get wifi tethering to work with CM7? EDIT: Nevermind. WiFi Tether 3.0-pre3 seems to work just fine. I installed 2.0.6 and it gave me some error where my wifi couldn't restart at all. I had to reboot my phone in order to fix it. Ozmodiar fucked around with this message at 04:48 on Feb 11, 2011 |

Solly posted:What's this business about doing checksums for radios though, how does that work? I don't want to accidentally flash the wrong radio. I mean if I download the recommended radio from the oxygen thread and oxygen being a desire specific rom I assume that I will naturally have the correct radio file and nothing will go wrong. (hopefully) The checksum verification is just an automatic thing done by the phone, it verifies that the file its about to flash isn't going to kill it. If you've downloaded a radio then just flash it, I guarantee that if the phone accepts the file then it won't brick it providing you don't do anything retarded in the process like rip the battery out. The thread I linked to in an earlier post contains every Desire radio so far, probably just worth going with the newest version in there though

Just got my hands on a HTC Wildfire (Telstra Australia rebrand) which I have rooted and installed the Wildfire T-Mod pack onto it. All seems to be pretty good with it, nice little phone.

Could someone running CM7 check something for me (even better if it's on an N1)? Add lockscreen toggle to the notification widget, and set your lockscreen for gestures (and make one for unlocking). Then disable your unlock sliders and run with it for a while. I've never enabled trackball or menu wake. Eventually the lockscreen toggle stops functioning for me. It will either never engage the lockscreen or it always will, regardless of the setting in the toggle. If it gets stuck off, you can reenable it by setting a security pattern (or PIN), then disabling it. If it gets stuck on, only a reboot will make it work again. I'm trying to see if this is just me or reproduceable. I started with a clean wipe on the latest nightly, and it did it the previous nightly as well.

teamdest posted:this might be doable. a Nandroid is basically just an image of a disk. Some people have said that slight revisions in hardware may cause issues, but there is little harm in trying it, and just using Titanium if it has problems. I pussed out. I was worried about wimax keys differing across devices, the slightly, slighly different versions of recovery I used to nandroid v. backup (clockwork 2.5 v 2.6). I just titanium backup restored everything. It worked well enough. I thought it would remember my desktop shortcuts and widget placement, but it got me 90% the way there with minimal effort.

MrBishi posted:GSM here too. Maybe I'll do a nandroid and try the latest CM7 tonight, things might have got better since I last tried. The bug still exists on the N1 and it's most likely attributed to the N1's dual microphone set up. The bug is lovingly called the "wonked" and someone on XDA has come up with an app called Dewonkifier that keeps the mic on the active device list that prevents the bug from happening. Despite continual mic pinging it hasn't effected my battery life at all.

I get notices for them from time to time but I'm too scared to accept them If during the root process you flashed a different recovery (or is it bootloader? I get fuzzy on that), signed updates will probably just fail to install. If you haven't, and you install an official update, you'll lose root. Shortly after an official update is released, the folks over at XDA tear it apart and make it available in the form of an update.zip that you can flash manually to get the update while maintaining root access. That's the way to go.

Thanks for checking, FACKER, I really appreciate it. That's exactly the behavior I'm getting. It's so hard to know whether you're restoring a bad setting with Titanium or if it's actually something not working when you're on these pre-release nightlies.

ExcessBLarg! posted:So, Samsung is still actively generating Froyo builds as recently as yesterday, and Sprint is still testing them. Not sure what it says about the 21st being a hard deadline. It does make DK28 look a bit stale though. God drat. I was making jokes about the 21st being "the next date to watch go by" but looking at those revision dates (February loving 9th?) I'm thinking there's no way in christshitting hell the 21st is going to be the day. They revise, then test, then revise, etc. If the most recent revision is (reportedly) three goddamn days ago then no, the 21st won't be an update rollout. It's not like Sprintsung are just going to ring the bell on the 21st and say "ok, today's build is final." If they stop making revisions then it means they're making headway in testing and are sticking with a build. All these revisions are just "gently caress, we found another problem, got to patch it out, here's an incremented build to go back to testing on." My faith remains unmoved in Samsung's ability to hold that 2/21 date. I'm leery about trying the DK28-based ROMs but I am getting sick and tired of the lovely text editing capabilities, the lack of availability of more and more apps, the lack of chrome2phone and a2sd, etc. If you've had Froyo for a while, you may have forgotten that there was no little tab on the cursor when typing text - you had to keep trying to position it with your finger if you made a mistake or wanted to add something in. Anyway, I'm considering installing the Bonsai ROM on my Epic. Has anyone had any experience with this one?

bull3964 posted:Are you encountering any issues? I'm thinking about flashing to this over the weekend. I tossed this (http://www.peteralfonso.com/) on last night and have been using it. I came from CM7 nightly builds which were clean and fancy looking but I always had an issue with the launchers crashing when coming out of applications. I like that the launcher in this stock build doesn't require me to wait 5 seconds to see all my icons when I exit Baseball Super Stars 2011 or what ever. There's nothing fancy about it, it just looks sleek and works well. I did notice this morning that my GPS icon was blinking at the top of my notification bar. The Circle with the lines were there and the middle of it would blink with a solid circle. I did a simple CAPS + ALT + DEL and it went away. If I find any thing flaky I'll probably nandroid back to my CM7 build and find another launcher. EDIT: Rolling back to CM7. This build is way to flaky for my taste. n0manarmy fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Feb 12, 2011 |

I used Unrevoked 1-click on my HTC Evo, lost my Evo (thought it to be stolen), had it replaced. Anyways, it was found and returned to me so I am going to give it (the rooted Evo) to my fiancée. She wants to have it activated today and I'm wondering if I need to worry about it being rooted. And if there is a worry, is there an easy way to reverse it and/or simply format and restore the phone to its original state?

Has anyone been able to overclock their Nook Color? I tried to do it once, and something got boinked so I had to restore from a backup (REMEMBER TO BACKUP EVERYONE). I autonooted it, and then upgraded it to 1.1, but can't overclock it. What .zips have you guys used? Edit -- Nevermind, solved my problem, used the kernel-1100mhz-omap3630.zip file (very easy to find on Google) and am now running up to 1.1 GHz. Loving my Nook so far.

If so, the old one now has a bad ESN and Sprint will never activate it again. Rooting doesn't matter, it's now only valuable as a parts and/or reflashed-to-prepaid phone.

Like Frinky said, I had to manually reinstall some apps (notably Newsrob and Facebook) but that really wasn't a huge deal. The only thing I have seen is that it takes a couple seconds for the screen to actually turn on when I press the power button to wake the phone up. This is kind of annoying if you use your phone as a watch, having to wait a couple seconds for the screen to turn on to just check the time.
