I recently updated my MyTouch 3g Slide to CyanogenMod-7.0.3-Slide and found my GPS not working. Google tells me this is a common problem with the recent CM7 build but it's been difficult wading through the billions of threads with similar but not quite the same problems that I have. Does anyone here have experience with getting GPS to work on a MyTouch 3g Slide with CM7.3?

SLOSifl posted:The alignment issues were fixed in last Friday's build. A full wipe and flashing the newest version still has the problem. Even setting the DPI to 270 does nothing to center the lockscreen element positions. The rest of the UI, yes. But not the lockscreen elements. Just makes them appear even further off-center. Setting the DPI lower doesn't work either. I'll keep trying as new versions come out I guess.

Agh. I guess I jacked up my Nook Color, I guess... I wanted to update to CM 7.1 but first I decided to try MIUI. Went ahead and downloaded both through Rom Manager and threw MIUI on there for funsies, ended up not liking it so I decided to wipe and throw CM 7.1 on there. Went to do that today, did it through Rom manager and now nothing. It gets past the splash screen then just goes to a black lit screen. Very frustrating. So I decided to just start over and reinstall CM 7.1 from my SD card, now I can't get any of our computers to read any of my SD cards. I'm thinking it's my card reader but it still blows. I have a suspicion I didn't give it enough time on the first boot before restarting it, could restarting it during that first boot jack something up that bad? Man, my Nook was running perfectly, it's what I get for messing around with it just because. Edit: FRUSTRATED!!!! Codiusprime fucked around with this message at 03:25 on Oct 13, 2011 |

So Ive rooted my LG One, installed some stuff, adfree etc. Now Ive been wanting to try some custom ROMs. Which one you would recommend for my phone? Also, is it possible (by means of a custom ROM or any other way) to have both a portuguese and english dictionary for typing?

Elias_Maluco posted:So Ive rooted my LG One, installed some stuff, adfree etc. I'll assume you're referring to the Optimus One. If you're still running the stock Froyo ROM, I'd recommend the unofficial CM7.1 port by mik_os. If you're running the stock Gingerbread ROM or have upgraded to it, you might be better off running OpenOptimus or Iridium IR-77. This is because LG hosed up bigtime by including an entirely new baseband with their stock Gingerbread ROM, which the CM7 port doesn't use. There are workarounds available, but so far, I haven't seen any that are that reliable. General flashing instructions here. If you need Portuguese for keyboard use, the simplest solution might just be to grab either Go Keyboard or Smart Keyboard and their equivalent Portuguese add-ons. anakha fucked around with this message at 13:53 on Oct 13, 2011 |

Sorry for the ignorance, but what would be the advantages of using CyanogenMod? Looking at its features list (http://www.cyanogenmod.com/about/features), Im not very impressed. Is there any other advantages?

Hey LastinLine I opened a bluetooth audio issue that will at least get some attention, you could try and piggy back your issue. http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=4392 Another guy posted that he loses all sound after making a bluetooth phone call, so I'm going to try that. Also, LiL you can try debugging with an HCI dump + Logcat (I use the app catlog) You can get the hcidump by - run 'Terminal Emulator' - execute 'su' - execute 'hcidump -w /sdcard/btdump' - Connect the headset, switch around between tracks a bit - Ctrl+C the hcidump - Fetch the file from the device

For me, personally, the poo poo-ton of customization options I have with CM7 (ranging from how I want my status bar to look to how far I want to overclock my phone) really help me tweak my phone just exactly how I like it.

Chocolate Thunder did not have good things to say about it. Pretty sure you can root it using the same method we used to root Gingerbread.

I don't know, the Evo 3D seems to be capable of ridiculously awesome battery life if you optimize for it. My 4G I could never ever ever leave unplugged overnight, it'd be stone dead or somewhere below 5% in the morning if I did. My 3D, I've actually managed to get nearly 48 hours on a charge out of on the weekends and 36 hours on weekdays no problem.

Today I installed a new kernel on my G2x: Faux's kernel with the DS battery driver (as opposed to the CM one since this supposedly gives better battery life). I don't know what any of that means, just that the battery is a random number generator again: I haven't recharged it, so maybe it's a side effect of that, but drat.

Has anyone tried upgrading an Optimus V with Gingerbread? I rooted mine and it has stock Froyo on it and I see that upgrading to Gingerbread is possible, but I am wondering if it is even worth attempting.

A few folks in the Sprint thread reported that the GB update for the Optimus S blows chunks. Can't say about the Optimus V, but I doubt they're all that different.

This probably sound weird but I really want to root my new HTC sensation using revolutionary.io and I entered the beta key but every fibre in my being wouldn't let me press enter to start the rooting process. I feel like it's some sort of point of no return where if I gently caress up that's it. Can someone please re-assure me that it's not as bad as i'm making it out to be, thanks.

Quit spazzin. Virtuous Rom team has an updated and optimized version of the Sensation shipped rom which you should try. Have a couple stiff drinks and get on with it. Once you have adfree android you'll wonder why you even hesitated at all.

The problem is that if you wait too long and (accidentally) apply an update, you're screwed forever being unable to get S-OFF. With the official method it's not fatal, but S-OFF is strictly superior.

Slopehead posted:\/\/\/\/ XDA is a hellhole and that's really vague advice. If you're going to give advice, be specific and don't make the poor bastard have to dig through that crummy place with tons of contradictory everything just to find the solutions which he needs. Yeah, that's what brought me to asking here - I'd wade through all that for my own phone, but this is not my phone. Thanks for the links!

ExcessBLarg! posted:It's really the opposite. The rooting process can be entirely undone. Both in the sense that you don't have to do anything you get S-OFF, and in the sense that you can load up stock and S-ON again if you really want. Can you get S-OFF with the OTA on the Sensation yet? Or are you relegated to going through HTC's official method?

Elias_Maluco posted:That features page dont give much details about those configuration options, but that looks interesting, love customizing. Firstly, here are the known existing bugs with the CM7 port: -Divx/xvid playback won't work (use MoboPlayer) -Strange crash in Camera (to fix, restore defaults in video mode) -ADW - Widgets: crashing occurs after Choose Catalog -Empty device serial number (IMEI is ok, official firmware has same bug) GPS can be a bit wonky for my phone, but I'm still trying to figure out how much of that is due to lovely satellite coverage. Second disadvantage might be in how much work you'll need to put into setting up a custom ROM on your O1. 1) You're going to need to do full wipe (cache, davlik cache, data) before flashing any custom ROMs, so you'll need to take/restore backups as needed. 2) Do you have custom recovery installed? The instructions for flashing ROMs I sent earlier also includes custom recovery setup, which you'll need so that you can save an image of your phone as it currently stands, and restore that image if you're not satisfied with the custom ROM you're messing around with. 3) For apps you've already installed and the stored data within them, you can use Titanium Backup to save them and reinstall them once you've finished flashing your custom ROM. 4) CM7 doesn't come with the usual Google apps installed - you'll need to flash them separately (links to those GApps can be found in the links I posted earlier) 5) I also recommend backing up your SD card contents to your computer, and making sure exported backups of your contact list and text messages exist. A third disadvantage might exist if you really want to retain any of the LG-specific apps you have on your phone. I suggest using Root Explorer to see if you can dig out the .apks of those apps and save them on your computer for reinstallation later on.

I think I'm ready to go back to Cyanogen from MIUI. MIUI is loving beautiful and such with all the themes you can get (so not all menus are basic black). It just gets way too finicky and everything starts force closing after a while. I might even try a sense-like rom this time around. Any suggestions from a fan of CM7 what a good sense-ish rom would be? I have an Incredible. Doctor Butts fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Oct 14, 2011 |

Agreed. The latest Unity release is very good. They managed to fix a bunch of the problems I was having on my G2 on an earlier (1.39) release after having spent a week bitching at CJward the user experience admin. It's a shame it decided to bootloop then go unresponsive after a week runtesting. I really dug how smooth it was running.
