This thread on XDA looks more active than the CM forums. The Shift isn't a terribly popular phone so I wouldn't expect stellar support and that support is going to get smaller over time.

If you want great CM support, you need to have a really popular phone that's been unlocked or a Nexus phone.

I saw that thread and it wasn't all that active. I'm just surprised because the Shift isnt a lovely phone, going from the Hero to the Shift was ridiculous. I dont have any problems with the phone, I just wish I didnt have to buy a new phone in order to get an active community.

I don't think anyone was calling the Shift a lovely phone, but you can't be too surprised that it's going to attract less attention than the Evo4G and 3D.

As I understand it you can usually restore your apps and app data from rom to rom, it's when you try to restore system data from another rom that things go south. That's like trying to install a windows program on a mac.

Are there any decent roms for the Evo 3D that aren't loving terrible? I tried Synergy but it has a lovely habit of locking up at random times during charging, forcing a battery pull. Plus, they removed the new Market and added the lovely old one back for "speed" reasons.

I really just want something fast and stable, without lovely themes or sounds or other unwanted bullshit. I'll be flashing to CM7 / MIUI like everyone else when they're released, but something to hold me over would be great.

I can't even find a rom thread on XDA that doesn't contain some stupid internet catchphrase or a myriad of "lol" thrown everywhere.

The best I can find appears to be CleanROM. Anyone have any experience using it?

It sounds like it's just changing your partitions to EXT4 from RFS or something. I'd let it sit for awhile and see if it wakes up eventually. Over ten minutes and you might have a problem you should be able to ODIN away and start over from, but generally that's part of the process the first time you install an EXT4 ROM

More specifically the ROM you installed is using the Voodoo Lagfix method. Just let it run and in time it'll boot into the OS (its a once of - after that the phone should be a bit more responsive). It generally isn't needed as much with the latter roms that Samsung put out, but the earlier ones could get pretty laggy without converting the partitions.

As a bonus though, that kernel probably includes Voodoo Color and more importantly Voodoo Sound which is godly if you listen to any amount of music. The Wolfson codec is that good that even though I have my SGS2 for general use, I still keep my original SGS around just to use as an mp3 player.

TB would be useless if it didn't work between roms. All the apps are yours, except system data. Attempt no restore there.

Yeah after flashing it last night it has been pretty stable for me.

Plus I spent 3 hours in a lowish coverage area and still have 95% battery. Really liking this rom if it keeps up.

Titanium Backup is a loving godsend too. Such an essential app, though I can't wait until every setting is saved in the cloud.

For open issues you'll need to look at the relevant xda thread but here is the changelog (the Inc2 is the Vivo_W).

That being said, ever since they went to 2.3.5 on the nightlies I've had nothing but problems on the N1. I doubt it applies to other phones, but there's been a regression in the wpa_supplicant where the wifi constantly drops rendering the phone essentially useless to me. Bluetooth seems hosed as it won't pair to my headset any longer (this is prior to 2.3.5 but still present as far as I know), and people have reported restarts and FCs when using Navigation although I haven't seen it (but I don't use it frequently enough to be a bellweather).

I've been on #139 for a while now checking occasionally to see if the wifi drop issue has been resolved but I really want to move on as a couple features added since then really appeal to me (signal in dBm and volume keys not waking the phone without a lockscreen). :(

Got s-off with revolutionary last night on my wife's DInc2. Was really simple and when it finished with s-off, it asked if I wanted it to download and install clockworkmod for me. To which I said, yes please.

Booted into the phone, turned off fastboot, launched into recovery, made a backup, and flashed CM7 nightly 40.

Seems to be running well for her and I haven't heard anything from her that would make me think it's not stable enough to run as a daily phone.

Sad thing is, all she wanted was a different lockscreen, she could care less about the other stuff.

Why not? It's so easy to jump from rom to rom (backup to backup) that it doesn't make sense to stay miserable or unhappy with your current system.

Yup, although I've always seen it save it to a folder by date. Although, I don't believe anything is stopping you from going to the folder on the SD card and renaming it.

The droid x is a bit different though because the ROMs either work on the froyo or gingerbread kernel. Apart from going to the right kernel before jumping ROMs, you can do the same thing. Not the case with the DInc2 though.
