Whatever version of CWR I'm running now (flashed it back in like November) just boots with an error message and then I have to manually select the delta zip. CWM should work if you flash the latest but TWRP will work.

Nobody here has used UnrEVOked to successfully fix the low space warning on their Incredible? I don't know if I should keep banging my head against this wall.

Not to be an rear end but basically everyone here replaced their Incredible a long time ago; the phone is almost three years old. From what I remember of the DInc, can't you just uninstall some apps and/or clear data for some apps to free up some space? And yeah, you should definitely steer clear of HTC for your next phone, especially if you stick with Verizon.

Dunno if there's any reason it would behave differently for you on the DInc, but the way I've taken care of that while dragging my nearly as old Evo kicking and screaming in to the 4.x era is installing Apps2SD and using a nice big partition on a 32GB SD card. I have more install space on my Evo than my Kindle Fire thanks to that. That said you probably should replace it. wolrah fucked around with this message at 02:43 on Mar 1, 2013 |

Motorola is also putting out some nice phones these days, so it might be worth looking at their stuff again. We've thankfully come a long way since the days of the Fascinate and the DX2.

In CM10.1 is there any way to get rid of the stupid audio nagging thing when you turn the volume up more than halfway with a headphones? I ended up going back to CM10 stable because it happens every time you plug them in and I use the volume control on the headphones anyway.

LastInLine posted:Fixing this, as Penguissimo says, would take an A2SD solution which isn't difficult if you're rooted and trivial if you're on CM7. I'm still thinking of rooting it, though, if only to uninstall the bloatware and delete what appears to be a massive, pointless logfile in /data/data/com.android.htcprofile. The advice and suggestions here have made me feel more positive and confident about the process, and hell, if it all goes wrong, I get to buy a new device! Thanks, everyone.

Hirayuki posted:Most people can solve this problem by clearing out their Twitter and Facebook data; I don't use either, so I don't have two massive chunks of dead weight to delete for an easy fix. I did move as many apps as I could onto my SD card: everything that would go willingly and without breaking widgets. I'm going to try to move some other stuff off of there (at one point Winamp would not find or play media anywhere but on the SD card) to buy me more room and more time. So far, so good. In the end, rooted stock might be what you want but I'm not positive what people settled on for an A2SD solution. With CM7 there was a one-stop app that set it all up in the background for you but in the absence of that you might have to do a bit of fiddling to get it working.

Hello, I had 4.1.1 on my Galaxy SIII and rooted it fine, then did some extra stuff and soft bricked it. Its fixed now though. However, before all this rooting interest began, I did the OTA a few weeks ago to Jellybean, my phone started acting slow as poo poo. Now I'm rooted on ICS, and am thinking about using Kies to go back to Jellybean and then rooting AGAIN , to see if installeing Jellybean on a stock ROM will make it faster. Should I just stick with my rooted ICS? Is Jellybean notoriously lovely on the S3?

For you people with Motorola RAZR MAXX's: (not MAXX HD) What's a good ROM to use? I just got one and rooted it, really want to clean out all this poo poo in the apptray... previously I was using a Thunderbolt with LiquidSmooth, which I liked a lot... I plan to eventually probably use LauncherPro (maybe) but definitely use Beautiful Widgets and stuff like that. I'm not familiar with Motorola's default Droid loader... doesn't seem completely awful, though there's already stuff that's annoying me, like the unlock screen and how it only has one quick-app bar. Another question: If I had Titanium Backup on my old Thunderbolt and backed up certain programs, specifically ES Task Manager's old 4.3 (I think) version that was before they ruined it and turned it into poo poo, could I transfer that stuff over to this new phone? I didn't bother with Backup Assistant crap at all via Verizon because it seemed redundant since I Google cloud saved all my contacts, which were the only really important thing. I was planning to use my TBolt's SD card, however, since it's 32 gigs, and was wondering if I need to wipe it or if I can just shove it into the RAZR as is and Android would be fine with the directory structure, which I'd like to assume is universal, but then again different phone manufacturers, so who the hell knows.

Don't use LauncherPro, it's old as poo poo and hasn't been updated in ages. Use Nova or Apex on 4.0+. You should be able to just stick the old SD card in, run TBup, and restore any apps you want.

big mean giraffe posted:Don't use LauncherPro, it's old as poo poo and hasn't been updated in ages. Use Nova or Apex on 4.0+. Excellent. I've gotten so used to Launcher is the main issue. I'll probably try out your suggestions, though. Would you say there's any value to flashing a custom ROM? I mean, I'm coming from what amounted to a really stripped down Gingerbread ROM, so even ICS is a new ballgame for me, and I have no idea what Jellybean has over it. I figure if I'm going to take the plunge, might as well do it now before I start getting stuff setup the way I like it. The other issue is that LiquidSmooth on the Thunderbolt didn't actually support the GPS properly, so I actually had to stop using it for the last year or so, which was actually pretty annoying sometimes... I'd like to grab some ROM that has all the features enabled and won't magically break my camera or something. Anyone know of any good ones out there?

I know absolutely nothing about the razr maxx itself aside from it's fantastic battery life. Nova and Apex have all the features of LauncherPro and tons more, and are a million times smoother.

And download ota rootkeeper. There is a thread at xda on updating but the short is you backup root. Hide unhide hide root then update. Plus I think there's a new root for jellybean. Droid forums maybe? I'm on my phone with no bookmarks. But Google it a bit.

What's the real benefit of having Jellybean, anyway? I have no idea what the differences are between all the builds after Gingerbread, which was the first to be actually "different" and as far as I could tell was mostly cosmetic and a bunch of tablet compatibility stuff.

Just a forewarning to you fellas, franco kernel on 4.2.2 is pretty bad for the N4. I'm back to stock kernel as the battery life is considerably better, I don't lose data during calls, or get a random reboot. This was with r93, will try back in a few weeks. Franco was great on 4.2.1 though and I'm sure these issues will be fixed. I even have franco kernel on my old optimus t running cm7 and it's SOLID.

I've tried them all the 4.2.2 kernels except for trinity kernel (I don't know why but I just haven't tried it), my favorite was harsh for awhile but then I started randomly dropping my mobile data connection. I've settled with Motley's B40.
