Well, I'm getting REALLY REALLY GOOD at restoring the stock image.  I'm seeing that ROM Manager can't detect a stock 2.3 Captivate, and so I'm trying a different pre-CwM'd Kernel. After that, I'll try ICSSGS.

 It worked. I'm in the OS, and I haven't seen a crash message for thirty seconds, a new record.I am going to go drink myself stupid. I'm so glad I might be able to put off a new phone just a little bit longer.

I'm using MeanROM on my Evo 3D, and it's very fast and stable. No issues so far that I've noticed, other than the occasional ghost SMS LED notification when there are no unread SMSes. However, there's a notification icon shown in the left whenever the keyboard is displayed. This appears to be consistent across other ICS roms I've tried. Is there any way to disable it? It's useless to me and a minor annoyance. I'm pretty sure the Evo 3D ICS roms are still being based on the Virgin Mobile leak, so it might go away when the Sprint firmware drops, but I figured I'd check. If there are any ICS AOSP roms with a working camera, I'd love to hear about those as well, or even any other decent Sense-based ICS roms.

That's a retarded "feature" considering I change keyboards so rarely that I'm quite happy doing it in the settings menu instead. Why do I need two places to do the same thing?

Sometimes you need to change IMEs midstream, a temporary notification is a small price to pay.

Edit: Samsung blocked the app. I tried Vlingo and aside from you having to let it know when you've stopped speaking it is the best app i've used so far.

It's nothing more than Vlingo, rebranded (from what I could tell). Asked it "Facebook stock quote" and it opened up Facebook for me to post a status update It has bugs from what I've read. I uninstalled it within a few minutes. If you want a functional .apk of this app, just download the proper Vlingo app. It seems to be the same thing.

All it spits out for me is "Network error. Please try again." on a solid wifi connection. Meh. The Dragon Go! addon with swype works pretty well for when I have the urge to talk at my phone.

I'm not happy with the current ICS ROMs for my Arc, still some bugs with video and video recording that I don't want to make the daily jump to ICS, so I'll stick to CM 7.2, that I love so much. I'll give Vlingo a try, never heard of it. I have a sneaky feeling it's going to be an app that I might like for a few hours and never use it again.

I have used voice commands for two different things - sending a text while driving, and setting an alarm before bed. I shouldn't have to talk to my phone to launch a different app, that's what making an organized launcher is for. Vlingo was alright, but I couldn't find any way to bring it into my daily use.

I'm happily using CM9 releases on my Galaxy S. I was wondering, though, whether or not it's possibly to somehow implement some functionalities from touchwiz or if some rom already does so? For instance, the calling/texting and brightness adjustment with swipes is really useful, but most mods don't seem to be using those.

CM9 does implement the sliding brightness adjustment but you need to enable it first. edit: Settings > System > Status Bar, then check the Brightness Control option at the bottom. It works a little differently than touchwiz; you need to press and hold first before you slide. nimper fucked around with this message at 16:06 on May 22, 2012 |

grack posted:It's still a good idea to wipe dalvik and cache to prevent bootloops. The dalvik cache will rebuild itself on first boot anyways whenever framework changes are present. The only benefit to clearing the dalvik cache should be to get rid of dex files for applications that have been removed without an explicit uninstall. Granted, wiping shouldn't be harmful either--the first boot even takes just as long. If you're getting boot loops, you're probably seeing file system corruption. That said, I have gotten ext4 file system corruption in CM9 because ICS does an emergency remount read-only just prior to reboot, which it shouldn't do because it marks the journal clean despite the presence of deleted/orphan files. Then on reboot, the journal isn't replayed (since it's marked clean) to clean up these files, which results in the file system being in an inconsistent state. I guess I had assumed at the time that for devices that officially run ext4 (Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, etc.) they had patched the kernel to do an unconditional journal replay. I mean, they couldn't possibly release devices on the market that very obviously have file system corruption on every reboot right?

For what it's worth, it is suggested to do davlik cache, cache and full wipe if you're swapping between AOSP (Cm7) and Sense UI roms. This does not apply in this particular case, but in my experience you can and will get bootloops if you don't. For the record, I don't use ext4 recovery, just plain old clockwork mod. I don't know why this is the case but it has happened to me before.

The other circumstance in which it's "expected" that wiping dalvik cache solves bootloops is if the dalvik cache is installed on the /cache partition, and that partition is too small. If so, the device config is wrong and it should be using /data to store the dalvik cache instead.

I imagine you can RUU back to stock, then go through whatever motions to re-root. But I'm not an HTC restore expert, perhaps someone else can clarify the exact procedure.

Looking at maybe picking up a Galaxy S3 but I'm on Rogers in Canada so I have no idea what that means for potential ROM availability. Part of me just wants to buy Nexus devices forever ever since I got my Evo 3D GSM and it's like the red headed stepchild of development. I know Galaxy phones tend to be fragmented to a variant per carrier but was that an actual barrier for developing and porting ROMs?

LastInLine posted:In my personal experience and according to the xda thread it's hilariously broken on the Galaxy Nexus. Most of the problems are on wifi (random battery drain on wifi, notifications stop working on wifi, wifi constantly drops) but not all (911 doesn't work, data randomly drops, kernel panics). I use this thing every day and haven't had a problem, or any of what you described. I flash the new nightly every day as well. For what it is worth, I do flash the latest Franco Kernel right over top once I'm done flashing the nightly, so that might have something to do with it.

My thought process has always been - if something stupid can happen, it will happen. Especially when you get in to the habit of flashing custom roms (or stock rom updates from companies with hilariously inept development teams a la LG). Besides, wiping cache and dalvik takes what, 30 seconds through CWM? Less than that with touch CWM versions? Might as well, just to cut out one more possible point of failure.

Sorry if this gets asked a lot, but I've been using the stock Android on my Sprint HTC EVO 3D for an age and a half. Sense 3.6 isn't blowing me out of the water, so I'm looking for an ICS alternative to that. Have there been any good daily drivers coming out of the woodwork lately for that phone? And, for the record, I think Sense 4.0 is fine.

One click, and it triple-deletes the caches, user data, and everything needed. Sure, its overkill, but I had a problem with my previous version of SOS where I only deleted everything once. Now I religiously do the 3x delete.
