Best feature is using the (hold) Volume up/down w/ screen off to change music tracks, and (hold) camera button (g2) to pause/play. I use my phone to listen while riding my bike/snowboarding. I love not needing to turn the screen on and using my nose/taking gloves off to change the music.

I don't think I've actually added any music since I moved to CM7. I have about 4g on there now that I cycle through, using Pandora when I've got my charger on hand. I prefer the HTC notifications, so I've got /media/audio/(alarms, notifications, ringtones). I don't think I'm using any stock CM7 sounds.

It's the alarms on my SD card that I have for myself that get changed when I modify any music or alarms on my SD card. I don't use the built-in CM7 ones either, though I'm tempted to see if that would fix the issue.

Zero VGS posted:Virgin Mobile goons (assuming I'm not the only one), did anyone else see this? Woo, took me a few hours but I figured out how to do a nandroid, and installed this Cyanogen build. I gotta say, all the effort was worth it: the greatest feature by far of CM7 is this "TV off" thing when I sleep the screen. EDIT: Also I don't drink but the feature to make you do math problems before allowing you to dial your ex is pretty amazing. EDIT 1.5: Extremely important for Optimus users - I can confirm Wiimote pairing works with CM7. This is currently the only way to pair your wiimote with the phone. Stock 2.2 can't do it due to programming limitations. EDIT 2: OK, so uh, can I get away with just restoring my apps from Titanium Backup, or do I need to put everything back in from scratch?

Can someone link me to a guide to root an EVO with Froyo? My wife got a replacement EVO and I haven't messed with rooting since I did my phone at launch. XDA is confusing.

Once you open the Market it should re-download and install your apps. You shouldn't need to "put everything back in from scratch", but you may need to use Titanium Backup to restore some apps that the Market may have missed, and especially to restore the data to those apps (like angry birds levels, saved passwords/settings for a program, etc).

So I'm just barely getting into rooting on my droid X. The rooting process was a breeze with Z4root, backed up info with clockwork and titanium backup and then installed my first ROM: ApeX 1.4.1 So far, this is much easier than I thought and I'm really excited to get more into it. My one problem, however, has been restoring what I guess I would call my 'user' data; most importantly full contacts and SMS history. The default verizon program, "backup assistant" as well as gmail account sync are nice and straightforward, but they also don't seem to do anything. After syncing both of them on my spankin' new ROM, my SMS history is still empty and my contact list has only the dozen or so people with whom I communicate with via gmail, out of 200+ phone numbers. I've heard of people manually editing their gmail account to contain all of their phone numbers and downloading a program that essentially makes a backup of SMS conversations by sending a copy of every SMS to your inbox, but this seems really clunky to me; I suppose it would be a good idea for when I have some time, but I don't understand why I can't have an automated storage process for what probably amounts to a couple megabytes of decimals and characters. I was thinking of of doing a full apps+data backup and restore using Titanium, but I'm wary about restoring 'data' from stock after wiping and installing a ROM. Fake edit - I tried it anyways, no contacts or SMS restoration. So, any tips? Should I just download a 3rd party sms and contact backup app? It seems like there should be some elegant solution. EDIT: I've just noticed that I have contacts which I've acquired since purchasing the phone, but no others. Can anyone explain why this would be the case?

Lowen SoDium posted:I had the same problem. Note to self: do not flash and do a full wipe just before jumping in a car, as I was then unable to sign into Google due to the newer 2 step signin. Ooops. Also, Titanium Backup apparently does not backup ringtones tied to specific contacts. That is getting very irritating.

I don't use any kind of SMS backup, but I see people recommend this: SMS Backup When restoring with Titanium Backup, you shouldn't worry too much as long as your only restoring apps + app data. You'd only run into problems if you try restoring system data on a new ROM.

Ashex posted:It does have proper support, RTL isn't all there in the stock apps though (at least in CM6 it was spotty). I'm kinda hooked on Sense so I'm trying to find a way to keep it. Just thought I'd follow up since I've been running CM7 for the last day. There is partial Arabic support, but it's not very usable at the moment. In gmail everything looks fine in the list view, but when you open the actual message up it's LTR and unconnected. It's similar in the browser: Arabic looks fine in bookmarks or history, but actual page content renders incorrectly.

Check out the awful Pipboy theme I cobbled together for my brand new CM7 phone. I'm using green render effects, I nabbed some fallout icons from a crappy theme and set them as my dock icons, and cobbled together the wallpaper myself using in-game screenshots. Edit: Oh, I actually figured out how to set custom icons for normal icons now, as opposed to just the dock. I'll see about pipping the rest of the icons.

Just a reminder if you're running an AMOLED Screen, green is basically the worst way to run it with regards to burn-in and wearing out the screen. If you're LCD, then don't worry.

If you want a temporary fix, set your lcd density in build.prop to something higher than 160. This, however, makes a lot of applications such as Google Reader run in a small window. I just stick with a broken market and maps for now, but I guess you could do it, update your apps, and then switch it back? edit: Build 11 doesn't fix it, by the way.

Since I'm here, does anyone know where to buy a NC power cable replacement? It's got the LEDs and fancy extra pins that make it charge at a reasonable rate, mine got bent to poo poo and doesn't connect half the time now, and charging with a regular cable is hit or miss.

I just got my first Android device today, an HTC Desire running 2.2 rooted with unrevoked. I'm trying to remove preinstalled applications but the two solutions I come across have problems. The first asks me to type 'adb' in the terminal, but I get told that's not a valid command (even when I do it as su). The second involves Titanium Backup, but that tells me it couldn't acquire root privileges or couldn't find BusyBox. I run BusyBox installer and it says it didn't find BusyBox, so I click to install and it just reboots my device - when it comes back up, it still says it isn't installed. Can anyone think why it won't install? Both Titanium Backup and BusyBox show as having superuser permissions in Superuser Permissions. Edit: Installing BusyBox through Titanium Backup worked. Now I can get into Titanium Backup and when I try and remove the preinstalled applications it freezes then the phone reboots. Is this not a valid method of doing it?

Note that ADB commands are on your PC when it's hooked up to an Android phone in USB debugging mode, not on your phone. And for the second, it sounds like you're not actually rooted - are you sure unrevoked took, and did you do whatever the second step is to install the su binary on Android? If you drop to terminal in Android and type "su" does it change to a # prompt or give you a "Command not found" type error?

Whatever it is about CM7 for the Evo I can finally use wimaxat work. Speed is all over the board from 1000-1900/140 but consider that this is a spot where I couldn't even receive wimax at all. Averaging about 550/350 on 3G with Speedtest in Philly testing to a Philly, PA server. Beats 3G!

I edited into my last reply about where I'm up to before I noticed this reply, I did manage to get BusyBox on, but now I can't use Titanium Backup to remove the bloatware.
