I just installed Gingerbeast on my Inspire successfully but when I go to flash the suggested kernel in CWM Recovery it says "install aborted". I cleared dalvik cache and did several clean flashes of the rom. I've searched XDA/Google but I didn't find anything helpful.

Is there a good guide for Nexus S 4g users who want to root? I've never messed with Android before so I'm pretty interested.

ExcessBLarg! posted:"Deodexed" means that bytecode for stock apps is unoptimized and compressed in their respective .apk archives. This is opposed to "odexed" which most (all?) stock ROMs are, where stock app code is preoptimized and stored separately in .odex files. Thanks for the explanation. My googling and using the DX Xda forums just confused me more. Anyone finding the xda forums for the DX pretty anemic in information?

Thank you everyone that's helped me in this thread! I'm running CM7b8 on my Vibrant and it's a very pleasant experience. Everything works well and I swear a little faster. Oddly, the battery seems to take longer to charge but a charge lasts longer. I must be going out of my head.

I'm in the process of getting a friends droid x and want to root it, but I know I've heard that the droid x scene is pretty all over the place. What's the best way to root and "ROM" a droid x? edit: I know it's a locked bootloader, but isn't there a way to "fake" ROM it?

So gingerbread was just released for my EVO, but I'm running a ROM. Whats the best method to try it out, short of waiting for my preferred ROM to cut over to it? Do I just find a 'stock' ROM, load it, and tell it to update?

I just got a nook color for my birthday but I am terrified to hack it, even though I really, really want to. I'm not sure whether to run CM7 from the sd card or just flashing it (not sure I am getting this terminology right).

You can use the clockwork recovery image and flash any rom you want on there.You will need a 2/4/8gb microsd card to do it, but it's pretty easy. The Link You load the Bootloader on the SD Card, throw the rom you want on the card once it's done imaging it, put it in the Nook and reboot it. FWIW CM7 is my favorite thus far. Edit: Wrong link

If you're going to use it to read books, I recommend running CM7 from the SD card and keeping the stock software in the internal memory. I use the nook primarily for reading and found that the stock reading app for the nook is miles better than any other reader app I tried. If you don't really care about reading books on it, there's no reason not to go with Illuminado's suggestion above and just installing CM7 to internal memory. You can run CM7 from the SD card without doing anything to the stock B&N internal software at all. If the SD card is in the nook while it's booting, it will boot into CM7. If not, the nook will boot into its stock operating system. Here's a link to getting CM7 on an SD card. Pay particular attention to the part about choosing an SD card since choosing poorly (even a class 10 card) one will cause headaches (like it did for me). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957

Download that, back up, and flash it. If somehow that hasn't happened yet, either wait a few hours or grab any of the number of ROMs like Fresh's latest beta based on the leaked 2.3 ROM from a few weeks ago, or install CM7 and see the Gingerbread many of us have had for months now. Once rooted, never even think about OTAs. Just pretend they don't exist, it's better that way. There are a lot of people pointlessly unrooting just to install this update and I can't figure out why they'd ever want to do that.

Is there a way to recalibrate the light sensor? On my Evo Shift running CM7 the sensor values seems too low. If I'm in my room with no light on but letting the sun in, the sensor's raw value will be 1 yet theres plenty of light in the room to see. It will read 1 as well when its pitch black and I hardly need any backlight to view the screen.

Charging my phone and then upgrading to Liberty v.06 (a build from the official GB OTA version). Will let everyone know how it goes. I'm on Liberty 2.0.1 so I think this is all I need to do: Wipe, DL and install Liberty GB v.01, Wipe, DL and install Liberty GB v.06.

Rohaq posted:There's something you can enable in the CM7 settings that allows you to calibrate the brightness levels based on the sensor levels. Have a dig around there. That's what I did. Having sunlight in my room compared to being pitch black is exactly the same amount of light according to the sensor unfortunately. I'd like to have very little brightness when there is actually no light in my room and a some brightness when there is.

I'm attempting to run it however as it's running it closes to the app drawer. If I try and open z4root again it begins to open then force closes. z4root works with .596 cause that's what OTA updated after getting the phone.

Just googling, it appears that .596 is still new enough that nothing can root it just yet.

No, but you can SBF to Froyo, root with Z4 root, then flash up to rooted .596.

I didn't like the nook app (from the market) at all. But for PDFs, the Adobe app is probably even better than the stock PDF reader (which is different from the stock ebook reader). I actually prefer EZPDF over both of them.

rotaryfun posted:Is there a good guide to do this... I'm feeling very lost on this one. Ok, I'm home now and I can explain it a bit better now. For the SBF process, use either this guide here http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-rs-guides/12015-complete-droid-x-sbf-flashing-guide.html#post106311 or this guide here http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-rs-guides/12015-complete-droid-x-sbf-flashing-guide.html#post106312 . The first one is for windows, the second is linux, I used the linux version and it worked great. The only trouble I had was figuring out how to get into recovery, it seems every other website I found had a different way of doing it. I did on my phone by holding volume down and the camera button when I turned the phone on, and it went right into it. Once you're back at stock, root with z4root, install your bootstrap (I used the droid2 bootstrap program), and then go to here http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-x-discussion/7651-official-dx-gingerbread-2-3-3-4-5-596-release-thread-something-everyone.html to get the update.zips you'll need. I used "Patched update.zip (not signed)" that's partway down the page. e. Man I do love the battery life I've been getting with this update though.

I just installed Chad's incredikernal for the HTC Incredible and I am absolutely wowed. The screen's responsiveness is over all better, and I'm at 87% battery with moderate use after 8 hours. Normally, at this amount of use and time, I'd be at 60%. CM7 + incredikernal on the Incredible is unstoppable.

Broken down and rooted my Droid 1 and installed a different ROM. Had lots of issues with ROM Manager before it finally worked the way it's supposed to but it decided to work eventually. Tryed Cyanogen at first and didn't like it, so trying Liquid Gingerbread atm. I can't believe how much faster the phone is off the stock OS. Everything about it is so much quicker to respond. My only issue now is that it seems to have LESS battery life with Liquid than I did before. Maybe I just don't have my SetCPU profiles set well yet...will have to do some more playing.

Sometimes you have to charge to full and reset battery stats to get accurate battery readings after switching roms.
