I just tried to install CM6 via Rom Manager after wiping and for some reason the Market isn't working. It shows all my applications in the download status but nothing is happening. Let the phone sit for over 60 minutes (usually only takes 20 minutes for a full restore) and nothing. Any suggestions? Edit: I'm restoring back to my Saphire backup which I had made before installing CM6. I'm going to try wiping the Rom Manager download cache and redownloading it and seeing if that works.

Is there any way on CM6 to not turn off the screen immediately when I make a phonecall? Before, when I'd make a call, the screen would stay on till I guess the prox sensor tripped when I put the phone next to my ear. With CM6, it turns off immediately when I dial.

CM6.1RC2 is out for the OG Droid. I installed it directly over the 160 nightly and haven't had any troubles. Supposedly this was supposed to fix some of the market issues from RC1 that people were having.

I'm still having issues with updating the CM 6.1 RC packs on my OG Droid via Rom Manager. Each time I've tried, the google apps install fails despite it being downloaded and I have to resort to a manual "Install via Zip" method and make sure the 1025 hdpi is manually installed. Other than that, CM6.1 RC3 is awesome on my OG Droid Only wipe I did was when I first put on nightly 160. Then I installed RC1 > RC2 > RC3 without wipes.

After multiple attempts at getting the OTA update on my X, I ended up having to flash the OTA update via sbf and then re-rooted via zRoot. I'm thinking my issue was that instead of backing up before deleting bloatware, I just went hog wild and that prevented the update.

I'm wanting to purchase a tablet to complement my Droid X. Looking at the Nook, Viewsonic G-Tablet, Nook: Basically the same specs as the DX/D2, has a large rooting following, cheapest out of the group, however 2+ week wait G-Tablet: Large rooting following, can run CM6.1 and apparently CM7.0, largest screen, Tegra 2, most expensive at $380 locally. Any thoughts? Edit: Posted here instead of the Android Device thread since rooting/3rd party roms is going to influence my decision. JayKay fucked around with this message at 13:23 on Jan 24, 2011 |

Is there anyway to manually set my location? For some reason half the market is not appearing (Miren, Dolphin Browser, pretty much most of the apps I have on my DX) on my G-Tablet and I think it's because it can't determine my location. I have the location settings enabled for wifi, but no luck. Also tried Market Enabler, but no dice.

Trip report for the Viewsonic G-Tablet (Gtab): Tech Specs: code:First off, in stock form it's a complete piece of poo poo. It uses a restrictively skinned flavor of Android called Tap'n'Talk which is basically the much more evil cousin of Moto Blur. It's incredibly slow, laggy, and basically unuseable. It was so bad that Staples actually pulled it off their shelves until Viewsonic could put out an OTA update to fix some of the major issues. Sad thing is, even with the OTA update, it's still a piece of poo poo. I also encountered an issue (which seems to happen to the majority of the Gtabs, and the main reason for returns) with the touchscreen not being properly calibrated. In landscape mode, the upper 50% of the screen wouldn't register any input whatsoever. Besides the crappy OS, the input issues would have made this an immediate return and refund. This is an easily fixable issue involving copying a blank .ini file into the root directory, however the fact that 50% of the screen didn't work made turning on USB Storage on the Gtab quite the chore. However once fixed, it's great. It's really hard to review the tablet in stock form as it's terribly hindered by it's stock software. Size wise, it's a larger mofo. The 10" screen is great, however it has issues with viewing angles. If you're not looking straight on, you get weird colors, washing out, etc. When I switched from the OG Droid to the DX, the OG Droid seemed incredibly tiny and the DX mammoth. Now that I have the Gtab, the mammoth DX seems tiny and my OG Droid looks like a toy. Haven't really been able to measure battery life. The documentation says you need to charge it for a full 4 hours before use. I started to play with it about 3 hours in and Android is reporting a full battery. Even with heavy use all day and all night, I'm still running 100%. They claim you should get about 10 hours worth of battery on a single charge. Rooted and Customized This is where the Gtab gets awesome and is seriously the only reason people should buy it. The 3rd party support for this thing is awesome. You need to be comfortable with rooting before you take this endeavor as it's not as simple as "Download zRoot4, run ClockworkMod, done." However, since you're reading the Android Rooting thread, you've probably rooted your phone already and know the basic mechanics. The good news is, since there's such a following on XDA and the net in general, there are plenty of step by step guide on how to install Clockwork Mod, install your ROM, and get Flash and the Market working properly. Rooting and installing BB or CM on my OG Droid was less demanding than the Gtab, but I was able to do it pretty easily due to the amount of guides already on the net. There are 5 ROM's you can throw on your Gtab. quote:TnT Lite I'm using VEGAn-Tab which is based on Cyanogen Mod and considered the best ROMs out of the 5 currently avaiable. I did try CM7 but it's still in beta phase and it shows. With the customized OS and recalibrated screen, this is an awesome tablet. Browsing the net is easy and for the most part it doesn't choke on flash heavy sites. There is no swype support yet, however typing on the onscreen keyboard is pretty easy due to the sheer size of it. As I posted earlier, Viewsonic hasn't officially come out and said that this will support Honeycomb. It's been hard enough for them to push OTA updates to fix their buggy OS. However with the current 3rd party support, I wouldn't be surprised if there's unofficial Honeycomb support down the line. Bottom line: Do not buy this if you're not going to root it. You'll be very disappointed if you do and will probably return it. However, if you're willing to put in the extra few minutes to get a custom rom on and do a few minor hacks, this is a great tablet. I purchased mine for $375 from OfficeDepot ($398 out the door with tax) and that's still cheaper than some of the other offerings out there. Your local Sears should have them at $399. Amazon also sells them along with many of the online retailers. All I wanted was something I could surf the web from my couch and do other Android things (stream video, play Angry Birds) and this more than meets my expectation (once rooted). While all those things I could do on my DX, it's nice to to do them on the 10" screen. JayKay fucked around with this message at 22:54 on Jan 26, 2011 |

I still say the Viewsonic G-Tablet is a better option than the Nook if you're planing on rooting. Especially since the used market got flooded and you can find them for the same price or cheaper than the Nook.

Fuzz posted:Good lord the Thunderbolt default software is rear end... anyone have any leads on a good step by step newbie-friendly guide for flashing it? I would really hate to brick my new phone out of inexperience, and I do not have money growing on trees like many phone goons seem to to buy a new one. I followed the steps here. While it was scary at first, it's pretty easy copy/pasting. There's even a youtube video that covers the entire process. I've used it to root both my TB's now without issue. The hardest thing was getting the Android SDK (adb) installed on my PC. The rest is cake. Once you get it rooted, install Clockworkmod and install from that. Makes it really easy.

Fuzz posted:Did you lose any functionality, like GPS or Camera or anything? I mainly wanna root to wipe all this bloatware nonsense off it and then use ADW with Beautiful Widgets to pretty up my home screen. Wasn't planning on flashing a custom ROM, because frankly I have no problems with the standard Froyo, and I don't really know enough about Android to know all the ins and outs and what's different and all that. Everything works, didn't lose any functionality. It sounds like your goals are the same as mine. All I wanted to do was have root access for various apps (Titanium Backup, Wireless Tether, etc.) and to be able to uninstall all the crap VZW put on my phone. I'm still running the stock software, stock kernel, stock radio, stock everything. I would only consider changing roms once CM7 gets a 90%+ working nightly out however I've found the stock software to be more than suitable for my needs. Edit: I'm running Launcher Pro 2 and Beautiful widgets. I can't stand Sense. JayKay fucked around with this message at 23:14 on May 1, 2011 |

The wife needs a new phone and to get off of her terrible provider, I'm thinking about giving her my Incredible (CM7) and getting a Thunderbolt for myself, but I don't think I could go back to all the verizon bloatware poo poo. Yes and yes. There are quite a few ROMS and CM7 is in development for it. Check out XDA's section here. I'm currently running a custom that simply removed all the bloatware.

Someone on xda explained that the scripts for cm7 attempt to reload the /system folder during install. So if you're coming from a difrent rom, you should go into mounts and format the system directory.

I can get 4G quick and easy if I switch wireless mode from CDMA/EVDO to CDMA + EVDO/LTE Auto. But if you shut off wifi, no 4G. Works fine with 3G though. Ok I don't know what the deal is but 4g has crapped out on me again. 3g is working perfectly. Giving up on cm7 until they get this ironed out. Currently using Tesla Coil and I'm liking it.

Right now I'm stuck between OMFGB and CM7 for the Thunderbolt. Both of them have the handoff/4G issues that can be alleviated with the toggling of 3G/4G in options. It's annoying but it's a working fix. OMFGB had a slight edge over CM7 as it has less bugs, however I feel it's less professional. I could really do without "TEH HAX00RZ" as my boot up screen and other various 1337 stuff it has. CM7 also has more options for lockscreens, etc, and seems a bit more polished. I just wish AOSP roms could handle the 3G/4G handoff. It's all I want  Edit: My solution for the 4G issue is to just keep the phone in 3G mode unless I need to surf and then switch it to 4G. This was done before switching to CM7/OMFGB anyways to preserve battery life. JayKay fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Jul 2, 2011 |

This thread pretty much sums up why XDA is a terrible place. Long story short, a Thunderbolt dev gets fed up with users and removes his rom and goes to another site. You then get a bunch of morons arguing over who's fault it is, the dev or the users. [Q] Where did Gingeritis go? The ball doesn't really get rolling till page 3-4. Eventually you get 2 morons in a slapfight. JayKay fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Jul 3, 2011 |

Had my first battery pull on my Thunderbolt with CM7 RC1.2. Went to go wake my phone up and nothing happened. I thought maybe my battery had died since I had left 4G on but when I tried plugging it in, nothing again, no charging light, nothing. Ended up pulling the battery and putting in back in. Phone booted up with 41% battery left. Not quite sure what caused it and this is the first time it's happened. I'm using MR2 with the stock kernal.
