Solly posted:Ok good stuff, but thinking about it this probably wont make a blind bit of difference since I recreated the partition before I changed to oxygen anyway. I'm still going to try it, but I don't hold out much hope. Here's a thought. Did you try reflashing your recovery image? I've heard that if clockwork get's messed up, all sorts of crazy poo poo can happen. I know with Rom Manager, you can download an older version of clockwork or something, and then redownload the newest version after.

So formatting my ext partition has stopped a2sd working all together now. I don't know what's going on but I think its fair to say I have ballsed this phone up pretty well now, everything I. Do breaks something else

Civil posted:I try not to get caught in the trap of flashing nightlies. If I get a nightly rom that has full functionality with the features I want, I try to stick with it until there's a feature compelling enough to move. Either that, or if they do a RC or stable. Me neither, but RC1 for the Slide has broken GPS, broken Wifi, a bug with the lockscreen coming up when making a call (or something like that), etc. The rev 5 nightly is very stable. I don't know if the WiMax code merge will affect the Slide since it doesn't have that feature, but I'm sticking with 5 until I hear WiFi is fixed.

With almost every rom I've ever used I noticed that it will be super awesomely fast at first and then over a few months it will become less and less stable. Probably even happens with stock but I haven't gone that route in a long time. I'm currently running CM6 on my Droid 1 and the kernel/rom combo were the best thing ever at first and now it's so terribly unstable. The best solution is probably to wipe and re-flash but I don't really understand why that should be the case. I tried fixing permissions but that didn't change much. Anyone know what causes things like this? Or if there's something I can do to optimize my phone?

Well this is strange. An hour ago my internal memory was full, hence thinking a2sd was buggered now there is a 100 Meg free. I'm thinking there is something wrong with my memory card. I have tried reflashing clockwork a couple of times and it seems to do it without having to flash an older version first. Is this ok or should I still try to downgrade it then reflash the latest. I notice roms slowing down too but for me it seems to be a matter of days. It happened to a far lesser extent with stock and I just assume its somewhat like any os, put enough crap on it and it just bogs down after a while Solly fucked around with this message at 02:05 on Feb 25, 2011 |

Does anyone know if CM7 even uses a special/non stock Ginger bread kernel? I still cannot find jack or poo poo on it. Alternately, is there a kernel that is even better and give me the same or better Jesus like battery life? This stupid CM7-special Outdated WiMax edition kernel is killing me. A 1:1 ratio of battery life to browsing time is worse than the stock HTC/Sense kernel from loving July or whenever the EVO first came out. Basically, I need Jesus to personally touch my CM7 Evo Battery life's swim suit area, what is the best kernel I can use to acomplish this?

Just posting here to say that CM 6.1.2 ran like stinky dog poo on my Droid, and Liquid Gingerbread 1.2 works way better, at least so far. I can actually play videos now, and not just have a slideshow of random frames from the video. Also, the lockscreen music controls are way better, they actually show the album art and song name. Still not as good as Winamp though. The CRT-style on-off animation makes me giggle like a little girl every time I see it.

I've heard just flashing a CM7 Rom will also flash the kernel, but Whenever I flash the old Cm7 Wimax kernel sticks with me. Should I just flash to another kernel, like stock GB, and then reflash my ROM to get the CM7 kernel back? Or is there yet a better option?

I've never installed a custom rom because everything for the Epic was built around the leaked 2.2 from Novemberish, and since I could never get Odin to work, I was too scared to try anything because without Odin, there's no way to go back in case something gets screwed up. Since I used Samsung's 2.2 update.zip to get to 2.2, could I use that file to flash back to 2.2 stock in lieu of Odin, since it contains all the stock kernals and whatnot that I would need? I want to try some stuff out, but I want that stock safety net.

It looks like the plan for "upgrading" from CM6 to CM7 is really just "wipe everything and install CM7." Is that true? If so, why does it have to be this way?

You could try going from CM6 to CM7 without wiping, but in general, even with stock roms, it can introduce some wonky behavior to go between major versions with a fully used phone. There's fewer issues when you wipe.

The Windows-compatible update that Samsung released might work for you though. It's basically the same as Odin, but wrapped into an easy-to-install (allegedly) package. Although if you can't get Odin to work, I'm not sure how much more likely this will be.

oh boy this isnt good. So formatting my ext partition made no difference after 24 hours the android sys file is going wild again. So I tried to recover my original stock backup but wait clockwork recovery can find no recovery files (yes I put them back onto the sd card) so it looks like I'm stuck with having to reflash a rom every couple of days just to keep it stable. I wish I had just left this drat thing alone now. If anyone thinks they might be able to help my aim is solly1010 Edit: Im beginning to think I may have issues with my clockwork recovery. I looked into flashing an older version with rom manager but it only shows me versions with higher version numbers than mine, which I assume are experimental. What's the best way to reflash the latest stable version of clockwork without using rom manager. Im considering un-rooting my phone and then re-rooting it to get a decent clockwork installed but this method: http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-unroot-the-htc-desire/ mentions gold cards so I assume it doesn't apply to phones rooted with unrevoked? Assuming that method is good, does it matter that ill be essentially flashing an image with the same radio file that im on already? Solly fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Feb 26, 2011 |

The WORD ON THE STREET is that when you're using CM7 for Nook Color, trying to Format the SD card, aside from failing, will actually wipe your /boot partition. WELP I'm going to try reinstalling CM7 again and see if not doing that fixes it. (BTW, I figured out how to fix it with the stock 1.1.0 + CWM image on XDA, the one that dd's the /system and /boot). Just a HEADS UP for this HUGE bug that I've not read anything about until I bitched in XDA.

Having a bit of trouble with my wife's Droid 2. She's been running Liberty 1.5 just fine for a few weeks. She decided to change to another theme in Liberty Mods and also change the system font. Everything was working fine until the font in WordFued's tiles (the letters on the tiles) are stuck on a certain font and it looks terrible. I tried installing the stock Liberty them and the stock system font. Everything changes except the letters in WordFeud's tiles. I also tried uninstalling WF and restoring an old Titanium Backup, also didn't work. Anything else I can try before I revert to a nandroid backup?

My only bitch (and i concede that A) i installed this while i upgraded, hadn't used it before and B) that its not the ROMs fault) is that launcher pro gets slow after a while and needs to be restarted to bring back snappy home screens after several days.
