Codiusprime posted:I can't remember if you're running CM or MIUI. If it's the latter how are you liking it. It's sitting on my SD card waiting to be flashed. I'm just so drat happy with my phone right now. My joy of having a fully working Fascinate is conflicting with my urge to tinker. I'm really digging MIUI. I loved CM7 when I was running it in earlier builds, and I really enjoyed a variation of it on my GTab before Honeycomb became available, so I'm a fan of CM7 - and someday I might return to it - but for now MIUI is refreshing and new, and very functional. It takes a second to get used to, and like iOS you kind of have to approach it like a 6 year old might, but once you "get" it it's amazingly direct and useful. It's also very responsive and fast. I can't compare to the final CM7 build because I converted to MIUI just before the MMS.apk patch became available, but I can say that the 7.15 build of MIUI is much sleeker and more intuitive than the 7.08 build. This is my first time on MIUI as my Fascinate was my first Android device, and the lockscreen themes and such also are quite cool. All told I'm having fun with it and it's doing everything I need a ROM to do, so it gets a favorable report from me. I'll edit screenshots of my setup in in a second. edit: Screencaps! From left to right: Homescreen, another homescreen, homescreen edit mode, lockscreen, lockscreen, notification menu, settings menu.

Screenshots of GtabComb beta 3.2: Homescreen  Another homescreen  YouTube  Music Beta  Fast homescreen transmogrifier or whatever it's called  Menu  This is much faster running than Flashback a5.5. It's responsive, seemingly more stable, and much, much quicker. Occasionally it will hang however, mainly when juggling a lot of open apps with USB connected. I haven't tested Bluetooth, it supposedly has limited functionality with that. All told I am impressed with this more and will probably stick with the GtabComb series until/unless Flashback 5.5 comes up with something brilliant.

LastInLine posted:Yes, it essentially replaces your Verizon voicemail with Google Voice. It will transcribe any voicemail you get (poorly) to your Verizon number and display it in the app. The transcription isn't great, but it's usually good enough for me to get the gist of what the caller was saying. And when it's really bad it's usually good for a laugh. I wouldn't use GV specifically just just for the transcription, but it's nice to have in addition to all the other stuff.

The main attraction for me is you get to use a GUI instead of having to dial numbers to do poo poo. Also you can jump around to different points in the voicemail, or go to your other voicemails without listening to them all. I think if you get visual voicemail from your carrier it's a similar thing, but you usually have to pay for that. The transcription is like the "joke" you get on the wrapper of a piece of bazooka joe "gum".

But GV lets you check your voicemail from any computer, you can be texted or e-mailed when you have a voicemail, etc. And of course the hilarious transcription is great.

I have a rooted Moto ATRIX. Obviously, I want to get rid of Motoblur. There's a Gingerbread ROM out there that gets high praise that I have available. I'm trying to follow the instructions, but failing at the point of booting into recovery mode; it just boots back into the regular phone. I've tried this via both CWM and ROM Manager, but I never get to the point where I can choose the Gingerbread ROM to actually install. Has anybody here managed to flash a ROM onto their ATRIX successfully?

Aisar posted:Since I rooted, I have been bombarded constantly with what I assume to be the "over-the-air update" requests, asking me if I want to update my phone. If you're getting constant OTA update notifications, you're either running DI18 (Eclair) which is old but reasonably good, or EB13 (Froyo) which is the aborted Froyo version for the Epic that broke lots of poo poo and was eventually updated in early April. If you're running EC05, then I'm not quite sure what's going on as that's the latest release. There was an update for the Sprint Voicemail app that was pushed out sometime ago. Either way, if you're running EC05 right now, then that OTA is likely fine to install. Otherwise, you're correct, you do not want to run the OTA update if you're on DI18/EB13 or anything not EC05. That's because the most commonly used one-click root for the Epic removes some packages, causing the OTA update to fail--although I think non-destructively. Anyways, the easiest thing to do if you can live with losing all your data (Titanium Backup might work, otherwise cloud sync) is to Odin flash back to (non-rooted) stock. Directions are in this thread. You'll want to use with Odin the "Froyo 2.2.1 Official EB13 Tarball" (SPH-D700-EB13-8Gb-REL.tar.md5) linked in that OP, as that's the latest official tar package for a stock ROM. If I remember correctly, you may have to rename it "SPH-D700-EB13-8G-REL.tar.md5" (note G, not Gb) for it to pass the hash checksum, but try first without renaming it. Once that's flashed and you've rebooted, you should be prompted for an OTA upgrade to EC05. If for some reason you're not after a reboot or two, you can download the update directly, rename it to "update.zip", store it on the root of your SD card, reboot into (stock) recovery and apply it. But waiting for the OTA notification is probably easier. Once you're on stock EC05 you should stop getting OTA update notifications, aside from the voicemail thingy which is fine to apply at any time. At this point you're welcome to root again if you would like to. However, if you do, you'll have to go through this process again to upgrade to Gingerbread when it eventually comes out. This is the "recommended" one-click root these days, which also installs the latest build of ClockworkMod for the Epic. I say "recommended" because it does a loving lot more than just install su, but it's kind of a necessary evil as none of the other one-click methods (e.g., z4root) tolerate the very little space remaining on /system after the EC05 upgrade. Oh well, that's what Odin is for. Running rooted stock is perfectly fine. The only problem is that EC05 still has a bunch of bugs in it, some new since Eclair even. Namely, poor hardware keyboard responsiveness, "time without signal", GPS crashes, etc. It also has the annoying Samsung goodies like the wake-your-rear end-up-at-night full battery popup, so it's somewhat advisable to run a custom ROM. I'd still upgrade to stock EC05 first just to make sure the modem and poo poo is all taken care of. As for ROMs, I'd stick with an EC05 based one, not the Gingerbread leaks, just because those are still a bit buggy. Even there though, the ROM situation is absolutely ludicrous. If you put a gun to my head, I'd probably run SyndicateROM Frozen 1.2 followed by the immediately installing this guy to enable journaling. I don't know if it's actively being maintained anymore, probably not, but it'll get you through to Gingerbread. Other options are midNIGHT 5.5, maybe EC05Plus. Development is dead on midNIGHT, and while I think chris41g's work is promising for the future, EC05Plus itself is effectively dead. Aisar posted:Even more, I checked the XDA forums, and the Epic 4g subforum is a mire of impenetrable jargon and asperger's awareness activism (I'm not even kidding). Anyways, as such I've only been loosely paying attention to the shenanigans in the Epic xda forums over the past month or so, and dear lord this situation has gotten incomprehensively bad over there. To my knowlege, the three best ROM developers all "left the scene". SRF's and midNIGHT's moved on with their lives. Bonsai is actually still being developed I think, but it's posted on its own register-only site to which I don't have a link, as it got chased off xda due to a bunch of forum drama over donors getting prerelease copies or something. chris41g is the most promising ROM developer left, if only because he seems to be the most conscious about not loving up your phone.

I've got an Evo running MIUI 1.7.15, and for the past couple of weeks, I've had some major battery drain. I'm not sure what the culprit is; spare parts doesn't show anything special for partial wake usage, but it does show some other stuff. It doesn't seem like the phone is sleeping correctly, and it looks like google services and maps are using a lot of network and sensor usage, respectively.    Aside from updating MIUI fairly regularly, I've gotten the google+ and google music apps recently, although I turned off syncing for both in the account options. I run a widget heavy desktop, but I don't anything has changed there. Any ideas? It will drop 10% an hour on standby and I can't figure it out.

Couple of Miui questions. How do I get rid of my full carrier name on the status bar. They remind me every month who they are, I don't need a refresher on my status bar. Also it seems if I put an app in one folder it gets put in all the folders I have, kind of defeating the purpose.

Excellent! Thank you sir! The folder issues worked themselves out. Did you find the clock in the Miui xda thread? Also I'm having trouble themeing stuff again. For example, I try to make the message app dark, I select the theme and it changes all the text and nothing else. So now I can't see text. Do I just need to reboot? Now that I'm taking the time to learn its in and outs I'm beginning to really like it. Super fast to.
