PapFinn posted:I've been trying to read up on this so I'm sure, but I always seem to get conflicting information. I'm looking to buy a Hero off of Craigslist to use on Sprint. Bit off topic from the root part, but Sprint is selling refurb Heros for $80 on their website, and I believe that is no contract. And I ran Cyanogen on my girlfriend's Hero for a bit, very easy to do (I used Androot and then ROM Manager), only quirk I ran into was to flash Cyanogen I had to put the zip on the SDCard then select it via ROM Manager. It definitely makes the phone run faster, that is for sure. Also, I am running Fresh on my Evo and its pretty solid overall, so I would imagine that would be another good bet on the Hero.

Posted this a while back in the Evo thread with no luck, and just posted in XDA as well. On my HTC Evo with the latest Fresh (although the problem was there on the first version too), I consistently keep getting the following message: "Sorry! The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectadly. Please try again" Hit force close, it goes away and i keep doing what i am doing. How do i fix this? I did already wipe.

So Fresh is good but slowly driving me nuts with the Evo, so I am debating trying something else to see how it works (I can always flash back if i don't like it). I would use Cyanogen but I need 4G (both because of speeds and I demo the phone), so I need a Sense based ROM. Any suggestions? Also, for backing up apps when switching between ROMs my Titanium backup should be fine? Duckman2008 fucked around with this message at 01:51 on Nov 10, 2010 |

brc64 posted:Fresh is basically Stock with a lot of the Sprint stuff removed. What is driving you crazy about it? I can't get rid of this force close issue (I've posted this 3 times now, so I am not trying to beat a dead horse, sorry). It just pops up and says something to the extent of "android.core.process cannot be complete" and i have to hit force close. It never CLOSES anything (although it will occasionally kick me out of GVoice) so my phone functions, but dear god it is annoying. Plus my phone honestly seems to lag switching between home screens, apps and DEF when playing a graphics intense game like MiniSquadron, Radiant, etc. I am running the latest Fresh with Launcher Pro as my main launcher. I have cleaned the Dalvik and cache through both ROM Manager and Titanium Backup, I have wiped, I have reflashed Fresh. Can't figure out how to A. get rid of the force close and B. it just seems that my phone is moving slower than it should.

brc64 posted:If you're getting these problems across multiple ROMs, it really sounds like something is hosed up with your phone itself. Maybe the memory? I don't know. Also I've heard people report that Clockwork Recovery doesn't clear cache correctly, so you might try doing it with RA Recovery if you haven't already. You can flash that recovery via ROM Manager, under "Alternate Recoveries" at the bottom. Gonna try that next, appreciate it. For the record though, I flashed to Warm and drat is it faster than Fresh. Looks cooler (to me at least) as well. I would highly recommend it so far, and the force close problems i am having are down to only twice a day.

I just converted last week to Cyanogen on the Evo, and even being in a 4G area its pretty much worth losing 4G for something that is not sense based. There isn't much I miss (mostly because I realize sense is that annoying), although for video streaming the speeds were nice. Updating today to 6.1.1. If i see anything new i'll let you know.

For almost every Sense phone, you can usually root with ease using Unrevoked: http://unrevoked.com/ (Though i've heard the latest EVO's might require advanced steps to root, but give it a try.) Yeah, I tried unrevoked (3, not forever) twice with no success. Unfortunate, but I appreciate it!

JerseyMonkey posted:Hm...I think I read about your charger port issue as I have a similar problem. Device will charge from certain devices, whereas others it will consistently face problems being recognized. I'm worried I may have to follow you in getting a new phone. The Sprint tech guys said they see it a decent amount, apparently some chargers stop working but thicker ones (the Palm Pre charger is their best one) still work. From my time in a non-Sprint tech center I would honestly bet its just the charger port getting knocked around and its just a bit weaker on the Evo I guess. Thankfully the pins were still attached (or else I would have been hosed) but since its micro its much harder to repair than mini, they just ordered a new phone. drat. Also, they didn't give two shits that the phone was blatantly running Cyanogen.

Tigren posted:It is awesome. It's stable enough to run as a daily ROM and the 4G works perfectly for me. I'm getting anywhere between 5000 and 9000 kbps down and pretty steadily 1000 up. Same or better than when on Sense. Nice. I just flashed it, pretty sure 4G is working. Just really really weird getting internet speeds with no icon up top! Edit: I take it beyond the icon the only other "bug" just seems to be it takes a while to turn WiMax off and on? And the SwitchPro 4G widget doesn't seem to work. Oh well.

You just lose the sense launcher, the sense customized apps (like contacts and calendar) are still unfortunately there. LP is a pretty good solution for his wife though.

ZShakespeare posted:As far as I'm aware, and granted my information is a couple of months out of date now, there is no way to get stock android on a Galaxy S. All the available ROMs are based on TouchWiz because of the proprietary stuff Samsung cooks in that is required to run on the hardware. Last I heard Cyanogenmod was stalling because of some of these hardware problems, but maybe they found a way around it. All I will say is I am so glad my main phone is HTC. Ok, so I have a major bug on this thing where it turns on and then within 3 minutes, no matter what I am doing, goes to a black screen. I wiped, no dice. Trying other stuff now, but the only major thing i did was one click root the phone and flash an alternate recovery on (still stock 2.1 ROM). What the gently caress is the phone doing? It was working perfectly last night. 2nd Edit: Definitely the SD Card. Because I have music on it or does the Vibrant get screwed up searching for music files between the 16GB on the phone and the 32GB on the card? Note right now i have nothing on the phone, just 10GB on the card. Edit: Could it be the SD Card? I just put a 32GB SD Card in the sucker last night and put about 10GBs of music on it.
