rotaryfun posted:Is there anyway at all to get it so that the droid x can setup the facebook account to only specifically sync only existing contacts... am I missing something somewhere? I recently put Liberty 0.6 on my phone, so I had a similar issue when only my Google contacts were shown. I restored the Facebook app using Titanium Backup (though using TB can be unnecessary in this case) and once I started that up, it asked me if I wanted to sync the information with the contacts on my phone, which I let it do. I went back to the Dialer app and set my display so that only my Google contacts are shown, and NOT the Facebook contacts. After a few minutes, my Google contacts were synced on the Dialer app with all of the Facebook information, including e-mail addresses and profile pictures.

Yeah I have access to the facebook information but I only want facebook to sync info with already exhisting contacts... I don't want my whole facebook friends list in my address book.

I finally decided to bite the bullet and install Liberty since the developer of my old "ROM" got a Thunderbolt a while ago, so I was stuck on 2.2. I used an update zip to bring it back to 2.3.340, then installed both files listed on this page: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/05/28/download-official-droidx-gingerbread-4-5-596-for-rooted-users/ Then installed Liberty .6. I did all of these from recovery in a row without rebooting. After the first reboot, it shows the Liberty logo then goes to bootloader mode. I'm about to sbf and try this again, but did I do anything wrong?

I rebooted after sbfing, then after updating to the rooted .596, and then I installed the 2 liberty zips in one go like the instruction says. You shouldn't loose the root or recovery after anything but the sbf, and worst case if you wipe everything I suppose you might need to reinstall the bootstrap, but that's about it. e. Nvm, you didn't sbf. Still, you might need to reroot and install bootstrap after you go back to stock, but it's still worthwhile to reboot and make sure you're on gingerbread correctly before installing liberty.

Yeah, I'm liking liberty so far. Mostly for the lock animation and the asop gallery app, though. And the stock cardock that lets me launch the google music app. Nothing revolutionary, but all nice changes to have. e. and hopefully recalibrating my battery will fix the battery stats.

Well, it *was* working. After I installed the toolbox, I used restore to bring everything back. Then stuff started crashing, so I decided to reboot. But there's not a reboot option, so I just turned it off. When I turned it back on, it just sat at the spinning eagle for over 10 minutes, so I pulled the battery. I put the battery back in, and now the drat thing won't power up. It's been plugged in the whole time, but maybe it wasn't charging? When I plug it in I get a green light, even if the battery is out. Power button does nothing. Should I just leave it plugged in and wait, or try something else? e: I guess it wasn't charging from my PC. I plugged it into a dedicated charge and the charging screen came up. Is there a setting I can change in Liberty to make it charge from a PC's USB port? My old ROM did this just fine. butt dickus fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Jun 8, 2011 |

I'm running CM 7.0 on my Droid Incredible which I had the latest clockworkmod on but when I recently tried to use Rom manager to update it failed to stick, and for some reason my recovery had reverted to CWM 2.5 or some other really old one. And now I can't seem to get any recovery flashes to stick, manual ones or run from inside rom manager. Any ideas?

Baram posted:I've personally never used kernel manager to install them. I just download them off XDA, boot to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik cache and install them from zip. Booting up the first take can take as long as the first boot upon flashing a new rom since it has to rebuild the caches and whatnot. Yeah. Figured as much, these were going way longer. I'm no stranger to doing stuff the slightly harder way, but I guess I've been spoilt by rom manager. P.s. why does nobody know how to spell kernel?

Is anyone running Liberty GB v0.6 or 0.7? I'm actually pretty happy on deodexed .596, but I've been itching to change things up. Any glaring bugs that would make me want to wait until 1.0? I tried reading through the official forums, but they're a shithole with everyone trying to figure out how to get to GB in the first place. Hoping to get some feedback here.

poo poo. Has anyone ever had a nandroid completely fail on them before? The one I did before my latest failed kernel flash attempt backed up /system but apparently forgot to back up any data whatsoever. I've had to jump back a day or so to an older nandroid. It's annoying as poo poo. Also. This bloody thing still won't accept a new kernel. I wiped the cache and dalvik cache beforehand, what else am I missing?

Yeah. I was always reluctant to use cwm in my old phone just because amon-ra was that much better. But on the nexus s cwm is the only option. I also don't have an sd-ext either. Nothing seems to want to work for me, root wise.

Granted it's a promise and not action yet, but HTC is now saying the Sensation's bootloader will be unlocked via software update. Good news since that along with a few other models got out the door before HTC changed their policy.quote:"We are currently developing new bootloader unlocked software for your phone. HTC is still committed to allowing our customers to unlock the bootloaders if they wish, however we are still implementing the policy and many updates were already finalized prior to our change in policy. We apologize for the inconvenience, but be assured that we are working on a solution for our customers and our commitment has not changed. Please stay tuned to our official channels for ongoing updates on how we will be implementing this policy. Thank you for your patience." http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-support-statements-show-possible-sensation-unlock-path

I'm pretty sure I had it set to charge only, but even when it's on the other modes the phone still charges. Not sure what the deal was, because it's working fine now. A really irritating thing about gingerbread (or maybe it's just Liberty) is that things made to turn off the screen only lock the phone instead, forcing me to use the power button. I think that guy with the broken iPod avatar was complaining about the same thing. I really wish Liberty had some lockscreen customizations like RubiX had.

Engadget is reporting that Samsung has sent a few Galaxy S 2 phones to the CM devs involved in porting CM over to the Captivate. This is awesome and hopefully means SGSII will be officially supported.

^^^^ So you never found anything?rotaryfun posted:What were you using to turn off the screen? A widget or something? I think it's called invisible lock widget. I keep my homescreen empty except for fancy widget, and cover the rest of the screen with the lock widget so I can admire my backgrounds and power off the screen by just tapping an empty space. Well, I used to do that. Now I have to hit the button again.

I never found anything. A month or so ago I tried all the "screen-off" widgets/apps I could find. Ones where you hold the search button down, visible/invisible widgets, one was even a proximity sensor app to turn off the screen. I'm so glad someone else out there cares now and might actually help me find one that works!

Codiusprime posted:This is awesome, I hope they follow through. Yeah I agree about the SGSII. Although I think Samsung releasing the source code would help as much, if not more than providing the phone itself. I've seen plenty of instances of people donating money to get a phone to a ROM developer (CM or otherwise) so it's not like they don't usually end up with the phones anyway. But it's nice to see Samsung doing something that's clearly in support of the dev community.

What happens when you power on while holding volume down? Can you get to the bootloader with something like Quickboot?

If I hold both it does not display anything but upon releasing the power button it quickly flies through the boot animation (is that quickboot?)

Sorry, quickboot is an app that lets you reboot into the bootloader or recovery. Are you holding down the volume button when you release the power button?

I had that problem on my Desire when using a Sense gingerbread ROM.

I have tested two EVO's side by side with a WiFi anylizer program, one running CM7 and the other stock, and they both have the same dBm signal strength even though the CM7 phone showed fewer bars. Unless you mean that you are literally not getting a signal. In which case I have nothing to offer you.
