VerySolidSnake posted:You had me at "long lasting battery". Is there a good spot with step by step directions on getting this all setup from a stock Verizon Gnex? Are you rooted already? If so, it's simple. If not, it's still pretty simple also. Just let me know and one of the many of us can explain. This one doesnt require much knowledge of anything, thankfully. That rom is great btw, I just flashed it last night. Very snappy along with that kernel. No comment on the battery life though. Unlike other roms, it has options menu's for everything on the stock rom-- lockscreen, boot, performance. I came from stock 4.0.4 and then Gummy Nex and this is an improvement on both. Also, when are we going to get official CM9's?

VerySolidSnake posted:My experience with android modding forums usually goes something like this: If you get stuck, try posting on AndroidForums (or here, obviously). While the AF userbase is also somewhat immature, people are generally friendlier and will actually answer your questions without the snarky "do a search" replies of XDA.

The long and short answer of this question is "Whenever manufacturers release official updates/source code and it can either be adapted to current SoC's or backported to older ones" Any guesses as to timeframes will purely be conjecture at this point.

yamdankee posted:8) Turn off the phone, boot into bootloader menu by holding VOL UP and VOL DOWN and POWER at the same time. Then press VOL DOWN, then POWER to enter CWM Recovery. Followed all the instructions successfully up until this point. CWM Recovery is not an option, all there is is "Recovery". When I go into that it shows a small android guy with a red exclamation mark over his stomach. How do I get into that to install the custom roms?

Alright got it flashed and following the instructions did a update from zip for Liquid ICS v1.1. Everything seemed to go fine, I rebooted the phone and it was stuck in the new boot animation for about 10 minutes. I pulled the battery and started it back up, and now I'm still stuck on the boot animation. Any ideas?

When I put ICS on my Sensation, I had to update the firmware to an ICS-compatible version or it would bootloop. Did you do the same?

So I'm looking for a ROM for my wife's Evo 4G. She's running Fresh 4.3.3. I'd prefer a Sense based ROM that's sort of still maintained, and is stable. If there's not really anything I may try putting Cyanogen on that I've seen mentioned the last few pages. For some reason it's practically out of space on the Fresh 4.3.3 with all but a very few apps (maybe 7 or 8 that are pretty small) that need to be in the internal memory such as widgets/launcher. That, the sort of bad battery life, and it dropping calls frequently are why I'm wanting to try a new one.

I've got everything that Titanium Backup lists was being internal moved over, minus the few things that I know wouldn't be a good idea. As for speeds, it's a basic 4 or 8 GB Sandisk card that doesn't list speeds.

Has anyone tried the Modaco rom for the Kindle Fire? It's been a while since I was on stock but there was an issue with the interface blocking the player controls in Spotify. Curious if this is an issue in the Modaco rom as well. I've been using various ICS roms but I'm getting tired of the quirkiness.

ProjektorBoy posted:You mean this? - http://liquidsmoothroms.com/node/74 That site hasn't been updated since January, and the ROM is from November... that's really as recent as it gets? Edit: And another question for Nook people... flashed that preferred version of CM7 onto my NC, didn't have any issues with that, but the drat thing is now freezing constantly and requiring hard resets, no idea why. Usually happens within 5 minutes of reboot. It was fine when I first flashed it, but it was refusing to charge, so I rebooted it and suddenly the screen wasn't registering long presses. I reflashed the whole thing fresh, and now this is the problem... anyone have any solutions/alternatives? Fuzz fucked around with this message at 17:46 on Mar 24, 2012 |

I loaded CM 7.2 RC1 on it a few days ago and HOLY poo poo it's so much better. Seriously, I'm okay with Sense and I don't miss it in the slightest. It's about as responsive, but I forgot how much I missed all the tweaks available (I had CM7.1 on my CDMA Hero) plus the battery life is incredible. I got 16 hours yesterday using 4G, two hours of GPS (Strava), Pandora, games, texting, calls, etc. Seriously, don't wait for stable ICS on the Evo. Just load up the official CM7.2 and enjoy.

Its probably the best you can get when it comes to ICS on the EVO. However I'd probably go with CM7.2 if you want something that truly works.

I've mentioned the CM9 for AT&T SGS2 ROM a number of times here, but I'm just mentioning it again because it has reached "ready for use without annoying flaws" in it's March 23 build. Among the features: * the CPU can enter deep sleep and preserve battery life properly now * USB mounting works * A few random apps that crashed all over the place (i.e. Chrome) now work as they should Bugs that affect all versions of CM9 (such as no Facebook contact syncing) still exist as it's up to the CM devs.

I had to go back to a deodexed stock rom on my Droid X because every ICS build I've tried has not been consistently able to make audio work in calls. They're great otherwise, especially MIUI ICS, but not being able to make calls is a pretty big deal breaker. This phone is dumb. Motorola

Hrm... thought I had fixed m Nook issues by upping the voltages on the throttle settings in Nook Tweaks, but then it just froze up again after about 15-20 min this time while doing something mundane as hell (opening Beautiful Widgets' settings to tweak my clock skin) after having been using Netflix, Opera, and Draw Something without issue prior to that. What the hell... really at a loss as to why it's happening.

Flashed CM 7.2 RC1 onto my G2 last night. All of the performance problems I've been having for the last couple of months are gone. This'll do fine until there's a good ICS rom out there.

It looks like the Virtuous Rom team has dropped an ICS Sense 4 rom based off of the HTC One V called "Primadonna". Hopefully there will be continued development to move it out of "experimental" status. Looking at the bug tracker there are quite a few issues so keep this in mind. Support is for: Desire Z/G2, Desire HD, Inspire 4G, My Touch 4G, Desire S, Incredible S. It also looks like they're not supporting XDA forums anymore and have moved completely over to RootzWiki.

I know that I had to a flash an ICS-compatible firmware to my Sensation before it would boot with an ICS rom. Nope, just flash the newest one (found here: http://d-h.st/2cc) and have a blast. It already has GApps built into it so don't worry about it. Some things of note are that the browser is extremely slow for me, and MMS (on the stock SMS app) doesn't work. You can send photos and stuff but you cannot receive. However downloading an alternate SMS app (GO SMS Pro, Handcent, etc) fixes it. ICS Deck is still good yeah, but it's still a little finicky at times to be considered perfect. Depending on what you need to do it works fine though, and as of now is definitely the best ICS rom the EVO has. I'll probably be going back to the RC of CM7.2.

I'm trying to install Cyanogen 9 Alpha 2 on my Touchpad. Touchpad has never been tinkered with previously. I've been following this guide: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HP_Touchpad:_Full_Update_Guide and I come to a complete dead-end when trying to complete steps 9-10 of the ClockworkMod install. My computer simply refuses to recognize my Touchpad when USB booting. The Touchpad is recognized by my Vista 64-bit system when connected normally, but not with the 'Power+Volume Up' boot. When I try to install ACMEInstaller via command line, I get an error message of 'unable to find device'. Sidenote: every time I connect via USB in the normal way, I can add/drop files to the Touchpad but Windows will still attempt to find the correct driver and eventually give me an error message. I have tried installing the generic universal novacom driver, as some rootzwiki threads have suggested, but no luck. I simply cannot get my computer to see the Touchpad in USB mode so I can install Clockwork and all the other goodies. Extensive Googling has failed me. This is my last hope before resigning myself to WebOS Island. Thanks bros. FistEnergy fucked around with this message at 16:34 on Mar 25, 2012 |

I've been following this guide: When I reboot and hold power plus vol. up, then plug in, my computer does not recognize the touchpad as a disk drive. I think it enters a debug mode, but does not mount anything. I found this: "Got it to go. Working on a mac and when I extract ACMEInstaller, it puts a folder in the same folder as novacom, so the actual ACMEInstaller file is one directory level down still. Had to bring it up to the same level as novacom and it worked just fine." Do you have ACMEInstaller in the correct directory? Also, for CM9 I thought you needed to use ACMEInstaller2?
