My G2 stopped connecting to my wifi network after using the Woofi app. Not sure if that's what caused the issue, but it was a hell of a coincidence. When I couldn't connect to my network(s) last night, I uninstalled Woofi, and still couldn't connect. I have 2 G networks in my house, and they both show up as unavailable, despite toggling wifi on and off and rebooting the phone. I was using CM77, and I flashed (no wipe) CM91 last night, in hopes that it would snap out of it, and still no go. My wife's G2 is connecting just fine, as is my laptop I'm typing on. Is there some sort of action I can take to possibly re-enable wifi? Dalvik wipe, full wipe, etc? I was hoping to avoid a real wipe, things have been working really well besides this and I was hoping to avoid a re-install of everything.

It's possible to use ADB over IP, so it's probably technically possible to do a root, but depending on your phone and OS version, it might require a poo poo load of work. Some further reading seems to reveal my problem; I did the froyo update this spring and my recover is now running <3e> instead of <2e> ... not sure if it's releated to the whole 'can only charge but not access the phone file system through USB' issue. I see quite a few videos for buying a special dongle that will force your phone into download mode, not sure if I want to drop money on it as maybe my computer STILL won't see the phone.

What wall-charger and USB cable are you using? The Samsung OEM ones? If you connect the phone to a USB port that follow the USB battery charging spec (i.e., the data pins are shorted together) then the phone will just charge. If you connect it to any other USB port from which it can draw power, it will popup the transfer mode screen (unless you disabled that), whether it can actually negotiate anything at the protocol level or not. So, it would be unsurprising for your phone to popup the transfer mode screen if you're using an Apple-compatible, or other generic wall charger. The fact you don't get that screen when connected to your computer could mean a bad USB port on your computer, or a bad USB cable, if it's different from the one you use to charge. But if you're using the Samsung OEM charger, the same cable with both the charger and the computer, and your computer USB port works fine for other purposes, then something is messed up. It actually sounds like the USB port "type" (for the lack of a better word) is inverted, although I'm not sure where and if that's controllable at the software level. All that said, you should be able to root the device with z4root and install either a test-keys 3e recovery, or downgrade to a 2e recovery, without needing USB. I really wouldn't flash a new ROM though until you get USB working again since, if it does get hosed, there's no way for you to flash back to stock.

Miss Fats posted:I rooted my Droid X last night. There aren't any roms listed in the OP so I went with Liberty as it's the only one I've heard about. Apparently there's also a Gingerbread version? Liberty Gingerbread is fantastic. If you buy the Liberty Toolbox from the market, you can use the built in ROM manager to download Liberty GB 0.5 with updated kernel. You might have to be on GB already so read up on it.

I have a question about rooting and Roms. I rooted yesterday and installed the Liberty 2.0.1 ROM as noted early in the thread. I've now been told that I should probably install Liberty Gingerbread 0.4(5?) instead because it's much better. I plan on doing this tonight when I don't need to actually use the phone but I've got some questions. First, is there any way to make it so I don't have to re-log in all these drat apps? It's a pain. Most of all though, game apps like Paradise Island HD. I didn't consider it when I installed Liberty but I had something like 72 hours (ridiculous I know) on that game and completely wiped to zero. I was fine with it since I wanted to start from scratch again but don't really want to have to start all over. Is there any way for me to set it up so that after I install the new Liberty Gingerbread 0.4 I can restore the memory to my apps so I don't have to reconfigure everything / replay hours of play time on these things?

Back up with Titanum Backup and then restore data after you flash your ROM.

Xenomorph posted:CM nightly 86 is really getting there on the Nook Color. Deep sleep fix is great. My NC used to last maybe 2 or 3 days in sleep mode, but now the battery percentage drops like 2% after a day of lying around. Also, the CM betas fix the touchscreen issues, too. I have no idea how they did this, but the touchscreen is perfect now and has no problems detecting presses at the edges or on the keyboard. Question: The Kindle app on my Nook Color is terribly slow, and I can't think of a reason why. Tapping to change the page can take a second or two, and sliding also takes forever.

So I replaced my dX with a Fascinate a while back and apart from the lag (even with the voodoo lag fix the app drawer loads slowly; maybe I just have too many drat apps) and the lovely battery life, I love it. I know I won't get the same battery life as my dX with the extended battery but would anyone with a Fascinate have any tips? I'm currently running Community Rom 1.3 with the included kernel, voodoo fix enabled and standard settings (gps off unless necessary, wifi off, screen time-out set for 30 seconds, sync daily, etc.) I'd like to be able to last longer than a work day on a charge. Back when I was talking to people who were interested in trading dX for the Fascinate, one guy told me he was running Super Clean and getting 16 hours on moderate usage but I think he was just talking bullshit just to butter me up for a straight trade. E: I *really* wish Samsung has something like Motorola where they have a slightly larger battery for increased battery life, not two drat batteries in one.

I've never been able to get a good eight hours out of my Fascinate, no matter the rom. Im sure that's not typical though, for example today I got a whole five and a half hours out of my phone before it was down to about 14%. It was in my pocket for probably 80% of that time. Spare parts showed no crazy app, GPS and BT were off, gmail and weatherbug are the only things I have syncing at the moment. For the record I'm running com rom 1.3 also.

There have been 3 kernel updates since then, so here's hoping. Are any of the bugs from the stock version fixed? I know it still has sleep death, but does it still have wifi weirdness, bouts of lag, touch sensitivity issues?

Using Juice Defender with ComRom 1.3, I'm usually around 60% when I go to bed at night after waking around 9 or 10, so I'm getting fair battery life. That's with more or less everything disabled unless the screen is on, and it checks 3G periodically to update poo poo. Speaking of ComRom 1.3, I could've sworn I've used GPS since installing it, but yesterday I couldn't get a GPS fix in over half an hour. That doesn't seem normal, even for a Fascinate. I had to navigate. . . manually! It was a pretty harrowing experience

I'm running the 588 Gingerbread leak on my DX. I just downloaded the Liberty Manager Donate version to easily install Liberty Gingerbread. My question is, I don't need to be running a Liberty ROM in order for this to work, right? When I first opened the app it said that I'm running an older version of Liberty ROM and it wanted me to update, but that doesn't apply to this situation right?

LastInLine posted:Really looking forward to hearing how this is going. Have they got the data/APN issues worked out yet? What's still broken? (Someone in the xda thread said Navigation didn't work for poo poo but it's xda.) So after a day of use, nightly 33 is the best my G2x has ever been. I haven't had a single incident of sleep death, and I haven't had to pull my battery at all. APN/Data worked, but this was my 3rd CM7 nightly, so I fixed that previously and it stayed fixed. GPS lock is about my only complaint with this phone right now - it's Samsung levels of slow in Navigation, but it's great in Speedview, so it seems to be something specific to Navi. I'll check out Maps later today. I haven't used WiFi, so I can't comment on that, but no bouts of lag or touch sensitivity issues. No keyboard lag, either. The thing is fast, clean, and works well. All in all, I highly recommend Nightly 33. Edit: IMMEDIATELY after posting this, I go to use my phone for a second and find it's turned itself off sometime in the last minute  Still the first time it happened, and it boots so loving fast, but seriously, G2x? Seriously?

So I installed GB and went up to Liberty GB v.4 (I'm afraid about installing a kernel and liberty gb .5 at the same time wtf) and I am decidedly unsatisfied. Mostly because, unlike most of the people on the Liberty boards, I like my phone to look nice/adult and not like it was themed from the back of some silk dragon themed bowling shirt... Anyway, but because they've stopped updating while they wait for the GB OTA to come, there are basically no themes and now my phone is stuck in ugly land. I'm considering going back to 2.0.1 while I wait on the community to pick back up but now apparently that means I have to "flash back to SBF" whatever the gently caress that means. oh god

SBFing isn't too big of a deal. You basically just need RSD Lite installed on your PC, the most current SBF file for your droid X, boot into bootloader mode (VOL -, Camera, Power) and you're back to stock in a flash. A guide for that can be found here. Edit: What is it about the Liberty theme that you hate so much that is not changeable? yamdankee fucked around with this message at 15:08 on May 26, 2011 |

Pick a nightly build in the ROM's now that it's visible.

I think that orange yellow/black color is ugly as hell but the only stuff I can change are the battery icons and like I said I'm not too into mucking around with all this stuff on my own so I'd prefer to be able to just pick a theme. For instance, I like this theme as it is toned down, somewhat professional looking, minimal, etc. It doesn't seem to suffer from a lot of the lens-flaritis that the other themes suffer from. I figure if OTA update is coming soon, I may just wait depending on how involved the rest of the process seems because then themes for GB should be popping up quite a bit. I just wish I could find something good for Zeam.

I'm using CM 7.0.3.1 on an EVO. I'm having a tough time with Gmail lately. I will receive emails properly, but I can't send them. It just hangs on "sending" forever. Also, when I delete or archive a message, it won't sync to my Gmail account, therefore the message is not deleted. I've looked into "accounts" and Gmail is set to sync everything, so I'm not sure what else to do.
