Casao posted:Basically, ondemand is the best, unless you underclock you don't magically see better battery life from CPU changes. Ondemand on a CM7 nightly on my Evo resulted in me having to hit the power button 3x to wake it up. Once, no response, twice, it turns on and back off, third time it actually comes on. Is it possible to set custom percentages within the brightness setting in the notification widget, aside from the preset groups CM7 has coded in? I want to remove the Auto option from the rotation since I never use it.

rotaryfun posted:Can I get a recommendation on a Rom? I'd prefer a more stable one if possible. I was looking at CM7 but I guess they just came out with release candidate 2? How is it on the OG Droid? I'm running CM7 RC2, it may just be on my phone but I have problems with apps sometimes not installing and I once had to pull the battery after using the camera. Aside from that it's nice and snappy. There's a lot of love for MIUI in this thread but when I tried it for the Droid it was pretty sluggish even with overclocking.

I'm having a really tough time flashing to a rom. I decided to go with cyanogenmod v6 until v7 was in stable release. I go into Rom Manager and went to download rom. Went through the download and it came up that it was going to restart and install. Sweet. Only when it restarted, the stock recovery image was in place rather than the clockworkmod recovery image. Went back into Rom Manager and reapplied clockworkmod recovery image and was able to reboot into it no problem. But anytime after that initial reboot, it's like the recovery image gets overwritten back to the stock. Any ideas with this one?

ROM Manager is a goddamn pain in the rear end on every Droid I've tried. Download the ROM manually and put it on your SD card somewhere where you can find it (a directory named ROMs perhaps?). Run ROM manager and tell it to flash the recovery twice and then tell it to reboot into recovery, then do whatever it is you want to do in clockwork.

Ok cool. The thing I'm worried is what happens if after the first time that I run clockworkmod to install cm6, the kernal isn't correct so it just sits there at the M. I wont be able to get back into clockworkmod would I to run a restore?

What you should do is put the ROM.zip and GApps.zip in the root of your SD card, install Clockwork Recovery (however that's done on the Droid), boot into recovery, wipe (data/cache/dalvik), flash the ROM, flash the GApps, then reboot. If you want to save your call log and SMSs, make sure you back those up first using apps on the Market. Like Doctor rear end in a top hat, I wouldn't use ROM Manager to do things- just boot into recovery to do nandroids, wipes, flashes, etc. To me it just seems easier to do everything from recovery with the added benefit of knowing it got done correctly.

If you can't get to recovery and can't boot, you'll have to SBF. e: That link to the SBF might not be the right file. I've never done it before on an OG droid, but you probably need to find the right SBF for your bootloader version (displayed when you go into bootloader mode). butt dickus fucked around with this message at 20:08 on Mar 16, 2011 |

I flashed my first ROM yesterday. I'm running CM7 RC2 on my OG Droid and holy poo poo is it smooth. Glad I did it. The one problem I've found is that apparently there's no WMA support? I've read that this may be a Gingerbread thing but regardless it's a bummer as a large portion of my music is older stuff that I'd ripped as WMA files back in the day. Anyone know of a simple, free mass format converter? I don't want to have to drag my CDs out of storage and re-rip all this stuff. Also, for what it's worth, I'm completely loving new to ROMs and I thought that ROM Manager was a god send. It gave me no trouble and made the process very, very easy.

Your weird hiccups are not even close to the norm, Cyanogen wouldn't include something lovely that barely worked in his ROM. I've made a ton of backups over the past 6 months or so via CWR and never had a single one not work.

This is true I have been through just about everything that can go wrong with the whole rooting/rom process. Ra is still much better laid out and I see no real need for the rom manager side of clockwork other than the fact that it looks less scary to new people. And RA has the bonus of actually wiping everything with one click instead of just saying its doing that.

Actually while we're on the topic of recoveries, I've always done this for I don't know what reason but I always wipe my phone, reboot recovery, then install rom but read on the MIUI forum this morning that you should wipe and install new roms in the same session. Any ideas as to why or why not this might be better?

So I'm returning my Desire soon, and I'm trying to flash it back to a stock ROM, only I can't get it to work. I've tried unrooting using SuperOneClick, I've tried to flash a stock Desire RUU (with a goldcard it gives me ERROR [132] SIGNATURE ERROR and without a goldcard just won't work because it's not the same CID as my Orange UK Desire). I just basically want to unroot, unflash clockworkmod recovery, undo literally everything I've done to it so far, but nothing I can find seems to work. Any ideas?

While I can't speak for anything before about 9 months ago, CWM has never failed a backup for me. I went through ROMs like candy, trying a new Sense ROM every few weeks and occasionally checking in on CyanogenMod, until Team Win did their WiMax stuff and made AOSP usable for me. Not once did a backup fail to restore properly. I'm on Amon Ra now, but only because it was either that or the early Clockwork 3.0 builds which were risky on Evos to run CM7 and I don't really have a good reason to switch back now that Clockwork 3 is stable. As recoveries alone they're both equal as far as I see. ROM Manager is pretty nice too, so if you like it CWM has an advantage, if not who cares?

I'm not incredibly set in my ways, either - I've change my tune repeatedly on numerous different things when there was more than "IT DOESN'T WORK  " to go on.Edit: CWM 3.0 doesn't wipe SDEXT on a wipe, that's a bug he's apparently working on. And I wouldn't want it wiping battery stats honestly, that would mean it has to recalibrate every single time you wipe and would give you poo poo battery life.

In Solly's defence, I've also had similar problems from CWM and ROM manager. Things worked so much better after switching to AmonRA's recovery. Maybe it's something specific to Desires, I dunno. Prefer doing everything from the recovery anyways

Casao posted:Those are not predetermined configurations, they're governors. They're the same ones you'd use with SetCPU, but they don't touch the actual clock speed min/max. Is there somewhere I can find a description of how the governors are supposed to act? I think they're probably pretty self-explanatory, but I'd like some further information on it. Helter Skelter posted:SetCPU is really nice since you can set up profiles based on a number of conditions. I have it set up on my Evo with CM7 to clock down to 245MHz (the minimum) while the screen is off, and then a bunch of profiles based on whether or not it's plugged in and what the battery level is at. Once it gets below 70% I have it drop the top-end clockspeed down and switch from using the ondemand governor to conservative, which is a lot like ondemand except instead of jumpting instantly between minimum and maximum it ramps more gradually based on CPU load. This means that if something hits the CPU just briefly, it's not immediately maxing out the CPU speed if it doesn't need to. This can mean the phone sometimes feels a bit sluggish for a moment upon waking up, but it's still smooth under continual use and does wonders to help with battery life. I may have to give SetCPU a look then...I wouldn't mind setting something like this up. Helter Skelter posted:Another thing is to make sure your screen brightness is set sanely. The automatic brightness setting doesn't seem to work at all for me with CM7, so I turned that off and use a series of toggles with SwitchPro (10%/30%/70%) instead. Weird...the automatic brightness works just fine for me...though the "minimum brightness" isn't as dim as I'd like it to be. Is there a setting anywhere in CM7 that allows me to adjust this? I haven't come across one...
