So I haven't really played with custom stuff since CM6 came out. Any new poo poo for the Nexus One?

MIUI is pretty cool, but I still prefer CM6. Latest nightlys have some nice new features, and 6.1 should be out soonish, with power control in the notification pulldown and individual swipe-able notifications and some other poo poo too.

N1 version now supports led flashlight mode in the power control in the notification area.

Also noticing small performance increases everywhere, and the phone unlocks instantly when I hit the trackball.

All of T-Mobile's 3G network has been HSDPA for a long time. Sounds like a fluke or something, because it should have been showing the whole time.

The volume rocker hasn't gone down to silent since 2.2 first hit, its part of aosp Froyo. CM6 has been like this since the start.

Finally rooted my N1 after discovering the SuperOneClick method :woop:

I had been planning on rooting for a while but the method I originally found (without unlocking the bootloader via the official method) involved some crazy poo poo like trimming a piece of plastic on the battery so that the microsd card could be inserted/pulled while the phone was powered on :supaburn:

I haven't gone so far as to install a custom rom though :ohdear:

Short of installing a custom rom is there a way to enable radio reception on the N1?
Nope,
the only way to use the fm radio is on a custom ROM.

I had an N1 with FRF93, rooted with superuser permissions, busybox, and MCR scripts included in the custom ROM. When the FRG83 update came out, I couldn't install the update. I ended up just getting the stock FRG83 ROM and re-flashing the phone back to stock. I didn't know how to update without losing user data...

So, how do you update a rooted phone without losing user data? Do you just completely wipe the phone, install the updated ROM, re-install Titanium Backup and restore?

If you're going from stock rom with root to stock rom with root you don't need to wipe data at all, you can just flash the update. More specifically, how couldn't you install the update? You were probably trying to install the official signed update and not a deodexed rooted version.

CM6.1 is far more superior than BuglessBeast IMO. BB used to be faster but the general consensus is that CM offers a better dev support with better updates and is more streamlined with the vanilla 2.2.

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.

Things like this are the reason I will probably always buy whatever Cyanogen does. I can't imagine dealing with bugs like that daily.

I'd like to know this too, the CM6 notification sounds all suck.

Find them (download a Sense ROM or something) and then add them either to your SD card in SD:/media/notifications/ or put them into /system/media/notifications with something like Root Explorer. If you do the latter, flashing a new ROM will wipe them out and you'll have to re-do it.

Yeah, as fast as cyanogen has been pumping out updates with new features I will be happy with the n1 for another year probably. The new bounce scroll poo poo and lockscreen features added in the latest rc are awesome.

No. Android idles on UMTS to save power and switches to HSPA during data transfer. Not the same as HSDPA+ or whatever its called. CM is simply showing you what Android did stock behind the scenes.

Hsdpa is what the h means. Hspa+ is tmobiles "4g."

What Thermopyle said, even as amazing as it is Cyanogenmod is bound to have one or two hiccups eventually that consumers aren't usually willing to put up with (although CM6 is probably more stable and reliable than anything on the Moment, or phones like the Eris which had tons of issues with 2.1.)

Yes, that's par for the course. I've seen just a hair over 4M/s but I was literally 100 feet from the connecting tower. Can you find any other sources stating that the Slide supports TMo's 4G? It would be cool if it did but I seriously doubt that it actually does.

According to pdadb it doesn't support HSPA+. Far from the official definitive source, but usually pretty accurate.

I may be getting a replacement phone from verizon and want to make sure everything (texts, call history, etc) gets transferred over.

Can I just do a full backup with Titanium Backup, root the new phone, install TB, and restore? Will that basically clone my old phone onto the new one?

Easiest way of doing a complete backup is making a Nandroid.

Do you have some that are on the phone only and not synced to your Google account? Because if they're all Google account contacts then you don't need to do anything, it should go automatically.
