Tornhelm posted: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. (I see now that it's a Gingerbread ROM and I need the bootloader- will try using Odin to get the bootloader onto the phone.) aude omnia fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Aug 17, 2011 |

Dumb question: if I root my Incredible 2 and a hardware failure occurs (like the mic stops functioning or something) will Verizon tell me to screw off if I take it in for warranty repair? As far as I can tell there's no way to unroot the device

I don't know if this will help anyone, but after I fried my previous sdcard and bought a new one, I was able to access it in Android, but not recovery, it would say no sdcard found. I was able to fix it by formatting it with the formatting tool from sdcard.org. CM7 Fascinate using CWM 4.0, for reference.

aude omnia posted:It is, ironically, the F1 Galaxy S II V6 ROM. I gave it some time and now it boots up all the way, but a bunch of force close dialogs crowd the screen- things like LogProvider and Android.process.media. I dismiss them but they return, and I can't dismiss them all. Any ideas how to address this? The force closes are because you didn't do the full wipe portion (data/cache/dalvik cache). Go into recovery mode, wipe the caches and reinstall and you shouldn't get any more force closes. You might need to disable the lagfix first (you make a folder called "disable lagfix" in the voodoo folder and reboot) but it'll probably work fine without doing that.

Well, I was just going to complain about titanium backup not working, but it is now, which leaves me free to explore other options for roms. I just installed my first rom last Friday, which seemed ok, but the battery life hasn't turned out as spectacular for me as some people are finding, and I really want to focus more on customizing the entire experience a bit more. Are there any downsides to going to cyanogen due to it not using the gingerbread kernel? Will I notice a difference? Should I just look at switching to a different gingerbread rom? Are there any roms where the camera app doesn't suck?

So I'm fully rooted my Evo3D and restored via titanium. All my apps are in place but I've run into a couple of odd issues. I'm running stock firmware. #1: the Phone icon on my lock screen is gone. In fact there's no icon there at all, just a circle. I went into the lockscreen settings and tried to put it back but it refuses to put the phone app in that slot on the lockscreen. Any ideas why? It lets me put any other app there but the Phone app. #2: I had my contacts synced with facebook for pictures and now it won't sync at all. This one is not nearly as important but ya know, it was a nice feature.

I haven't noticed anything yet. Things I DID notice that have made a huge difference: - The lockscreen unlock is nearly instant compared to the slow bullshit the previous builds were giving me. - In-call audio seems to have been fixed. I can actually hear people now. - Radio control seems much better. My phone won't try to commit suicide every time I unplug it by switching radios non-stop and trying its damndest to sync whatever it's trying to sync. I haven't had a random reboot yet either, so that's also an improvement. Though to be honest, ever since I rooted and loaded the first CM7 build available at the time the reboots have dropped off dramatically. Stock reboots are ridiculous.

This only cropped up post-root and I didn't install any custom ROMS. Just stock. I rebooted before to fix that bug but I'm trying again now. Edit: rebooting didn't fix it.

Inspire 4G/Desire HD users: I've been using this ROM Virtuous Unity for a couple weeks now, and I have to say, it's the best Sense-based ROM I've come across. If you're wanting to give Sense 3.0 a look, this is really the best ROM for it.

kitten smoothie posted:Mine is still doing the goofy slow unlock. This apparently has to do with brightness being set to automatic. Apparently when you disable automatic brightness the lock screen doesn't do the slow lag stuff. I don't know if there's a fix in the works or not. Anyway, it certainly isn't a very elegant solution the problem.

Ok, so I'm going to start this off by saying that this is all my fault, and should probably have but I rooted my Desire a few days ago, and I think I'd rather just go back to stock. I can see the advantages, but I don't think I'm the kind of user that needs them. I've been looking online, but nothing really gives me any indication of how to go from CM7 to stock, 2.2 or whatever, as my phone came. What do I need to do?

Krittick posted:When you restored with Titanium Backup, did you restore any system data or just apps? I think I might have restored system data too. I'm guessing this is where I messed up. How do I fix it? Edit: Cleared data and restored from backup (just apps this time) and it's still happening. What the gently caress. Also as it turns out Titanium backup does backup texts, however, once it makes the first backup, it won't update said backup even if you set it to backup all. I now have a rather large gap in my texts. Oh well. FlyingCheese fucked around with this message at 07:37 on Aug 18, 2011 |

Maker Of Shoes posted:Are the MIUI people using CM code? Wouldn't surprise me in the least. Pretty much. MIUI uses CM code and they don't give back to the community. If you look at the buglist for things like the SGS/SGS2, you will see that they have the exact same bugs that get fixed at the same time as they do on CM. The people porting it on XDA aren't too bad - they tend to share things - but the main MIUI guys don't.

If you're wanting to give Sense 3.0 a look, this is really the best ROM for it. How are things like battery life and stability? GPS work good? I've been using Android Revolution since I first rooted my phone. It makes a bunch of tweaks and removes ATT crapware but no visual changes from stock. I'd like to try something different like CM7 our MIUI but I can't make myself move off this rom when everything on it works :/

If you're wanting to give Sense 3.0 a look, this is really the best ROM for it. I've been using this rom for the g2 as well. There are some niggling bugs with it that I do not like but overall stability is good. Idle battery is insane when you're really not hooked into data of any kind.  Bugs that I've noticed: Broken USB tether. When you input or receive text data of any kind, the amber LED light stays on until you pull your notification slider down. If you type up a text and pass 160 characters, sometimes it will stop and scroll all the way to the top of your sent messages which requires you to scroll way back down. Occasionally this will start happening constantly. The .com button doesn't work. That being said, I never thought I would like Sense UI and I really dig Unity. For its flaws it is snappy, nice and smooth, had great benchmark scores (3000 in antutu @ 1.2ghz, the stock clock speed for unity), and looks gorgeous. I threw on LP+ cause I hate clutter in my app drawer but other than that, this rom is very nice. GPS has a drat near instant lock as long as you have some sort of sky view. However when you actually....you know use it, the battery life does tend to take a dump. Keep a charger or a spare battery on hand at all times. This might be a function of the G2 not only having a piss poor battery but stock clock is 800mhz and cranking it way up like this chews up the juice. But hey, it has tons of clocks! gently caress yeah, clocks! MC Hawking fucked around with this message at 09:00 on Aug 18, 2011 |

Like Alarbus said, you can find a stock ROM on xda or whatever but I'd highly advise you to find a rooted stock ROM and implement apps to SD-EXT.
