Yeah, I just got one of these (Thank you professorbx) and am somewhat disheartened to find the lack of decent roms for it. Still, there are a couple of 2.2 roms that aren't horrible and maybe someday we'll get gingerbread. There is still hope.

Crap, looks like I've got myself into a bind. I've got a rooted Nook Color. I installed a newer uboot through CWM and then selected the option "Reboot recovery." Since then, the device will only boot to a black screen after showing the "Read Forever" logo. I've tried following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699 but I can't even get the thing to boot CWM. It just stays at that black screen, despite trying different SD cards. Help? Edit: Nevermind! Turns out I was using the wrong program to flash the SD card. The proper one is located here: https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download Vertigus fucked around with this message at 04:52 on May 17, 2011 |

big mean giraffe posted:Backing up the rom via rom manager does a complete nandroid, so the titanium backup isn't neccesary after restoring. Also, restoring system data via titanium backup can often cause major issues and isn't recommending, unless it's on the exact same ROM. Cool, thanks. So I back up the ROM, don't like the new ROM, I restore the old one and it's like nothing in between ever happened? If so, that's perfect.

Where TB comes in is for backing up app data that doesn't sync. You go to a different ROM (and thus need to wipe)? You don't loose your Angry Birds scores. If you're wiping it's usually for a reason and I wouldn't batch restore everything right away, but it's nice when you wipe, reinstall your apps, and then you remember that you had a bunch of network shares saved in ES File Explorer, or you had a note in a notepad app. You can just restore the data for those apps and be assured it probably won't gently caress up anything. You probably won't need the stuff often, but when you do it's sure nice to have around. Plus it has a lot of other features that I've found useful on many occasions like freezing, Market Doctor, multiple backups, things like that.

I've the Optimus V running stable CM7. Any ideas why it hangs on the LG screen when rebooting into recovery? Used http://romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Install_from_Stock_Optimus to get it going. Everything works smooth beyond the recovery options. I'm unsure what other information y'all may need.

After a few days of rooting my Droid X I've noticed that everything seems to load much faster. There's no delay in bringing up the app drawer or whatever it's called now and the market loads instantly instead of taking 10-15 seconds. Is this coincidence or could it have made a difference despite not changing the rom?

Contacts-wise, I found that synching all my contacts with google was simplest. This is a pretty straightforward way to root the Inspire: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961406 Just make sure you read all the warnings and the FAQ!! It turns out I had Microsoft Security Essentials installed and had forgotten about it, which messed up my rooting halfway through both times and I had to restart the rather lengthy process over again and I ended up downloading the sizeable program three times in a row because MSSE had deleted a really important part of the file the first two times without ever notifying me in any way.

So now that I don't have to worry about folks potentially calling to offer me a better job () it's time to update the rom on my Vibrant. Are all the cool kids still using Team Whisky, or is the CM7 rom stable enough for a daily driver. If it matters, I use the wi-fi calling option a ton. Thanks in advance!

ToxicFool posted:I just got my first smartphone with a Captivate and already rooted it to installed OCLF. I looked into custom roms and the like but the XDA forums have a ton of things with no real descriptions or reviews. Even in their starting guide they don't have recommendations. OCLF is terrible and can rape your phone. It has been obsolete for nearly a year now and is can completely unsupported. Please look into a solid modern lagfix like voodoo or universal lagfix that does a proper conversion instead of the horrible, hacky shitpile that is OCLF. I use Speedmod on my I9000 and it's a pretty solid kernal (and it should include the new, safer lagfix which also gives much faster real world performance). I'm not really familiar with the roms on the Capitvate though, but I agree that there are a lot of ugly themes out there on XDA.

Just a heads up, anyone with a Captivate, Galaxy S i9000, or Vibrant and rooted 2.1 or 2.2 can now install officially supported CyanogenMod 7 nightlies from ROM Manager. If you are on a 2.3 bootloader you will need to Odin back to 2.1 before flashing CM7.

Can you remove the mobile APN data from withing Wireless and Networks? e: alternatively create a garbage APN, and use that instead of the default. It'll never connect.

Probably network dependent but my carrier uses two APNs, one for normal data the other for MMS The APN type for the normal one is 'default,supl' the MMS one is 'mms'

You dont even need to turn off Voodoo. Just install via ROMManager, couldnt be easier. If for some reason that doesnt work, download the latest nightly and install via clockwork.

I've finally been able to flash a Sense ROM onto my EVO and do the GPS fix! I had Fresh 3.5.0.1 on my phone from before, since that's what I was running before I started playing with CM7 nightlies, but every time I tried to install it I would just hang forever at the white EVO 4G boot screen. Today I decided I'd just download it on my computer, check the MD5, then transfer it to my phone over USB. Since I've had so much trouble with 3.5, I pulled the Fresh 4 beta. Good news: It flashed successfully. Bad news: The dialer codes didn't work. gently caress. So I re-downloaded 3.5.0.1, verified the MD5, transferred that, and FINALLY got it to boot. Dialer code worked, phone rebooted, and I restored my nandroid. The difference is amazing. As a quick test (indoors!), I pulled up Maps and told it to navigate to my nearest latitude friend. Navigation instantly had a lock! And when I exited Maps, the GPS icon didn't stay flashing in my notification bar for an extra 30 seconds like it used to. Now my phone is happy again!

This is on a G2 running a recent build of CM7 (nightly 77). I haven't played nano panda in several days, and even rebooted my phone this morning. However, there it is, right at the top, sucking up the battery. I've also never used wifi calling, or even opened the app, and it's also making a showing. Can apps be using battery life, even if you're not using them or haven't launched them?
