I learned from a pro! Since we're both on Rubix 1.9.7, how has that overclocker app worked for you? Has it improved or hindered your battery life?

My battery will last over 2 days with normal use, but I charge it every night, so no telling. I'd used Milestone Overclock in the past, but QuickClock is much nicer. It appears to only undervolt at the 300MHz setting, which is what the phone is probably running at the majority of the time. I've never really had problems with anything being slow at 1GHz, but since it runs faster at the same voltage, I went ahead and let it do that. It's not really noticeable unless you run Quadrant or something like that.

Ok so I want to upgrade my Incredible to Clockwork Recovery 3.0.0.5 and figured that I can use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897612 However, I honestly haven't done much research into it but know that it will convert the internal storage to EXT4, so am I safe to assume that emmc won't be readable by Windows?

Anyone still interested in getting Arabic on their Desire Z should try the RUU 1.82 rom that popped up, it is an Arabic build and after I flashed it I had full Arabic localization with shaping and RTL. You'll need to debrand the phone before flashing to avoid bricking it.

Here's a weird problem: I installed Rubix Focused 1.9.0 on my wife's Droid 2 and everything went find except the physical keyboard keys are not inputting the right character. Most of the alphabet works but if I try to type an 8 I get a weird character. So the keyboard file is messed up or something. I'd imagine this can be fixed by installing a new keyboard or something? Anyone have any ideas?

That thread you linked is for a totally different device by a totally different manufacturer on a totally different cell network. The best possible outcome you could end up with would be it not working, and you run the risk of screwing something up badly. At the very least wait until someone hacks it onto the Inc rather than just grabbing random packages and trying to install them. Why do you want to upgrade CWM Recovery anyway?

surely the only reason you're using CWM recovery over an Amon_RA one is for rom manager, yes? if you have rom manager, just use that to upgrade your recovery image, it's what it's there for.

IIRC the 3.x versions of CWM use a completely different scripting system for package installation and there isn't any support for the older, more widely used one. Stick with the latest 2.x unless you've got a very specific need for the newer one.

yamdankee posted:It was really that simple. Don't worry, z4 is not going to brick your phone. Down the line if virtually anything goes that bad, you can always SBF (bringing your phone back to stock) no matter really what happens. Doctor rear end in a top hat posted:Z4root is amazingly easy. You install it, run it and then tap the button and wait a bit. You can also un-root. If you're going to install custom "ROMs" on your X, don't use ROM manager as it's horribly unreliable. Get Droid X Bootstrapper and load the ROM directly through Clockwork Recovery after copying the zip to your SD card. Wow, you all were right. It really was that easy. I loaded up Z4 and hit the root button. I walked away from the phone to feed my dogs, came back to a fully rooted phone. Nice! I have Titanium Backup backing up all my accounts and apps now. Later on, I'll have to start trying out ROMs. I'm just so thrilled to be able to run all those apps that require root access.

im having real trouble re-partitoning my sd card. I had it set to swap 100mb for miui but now I cannot get rid of it, when I try to partition with rom manager it boots recovery then I just get the following error log: clockwork mod recovery v2.5.0.7 finding update package... opening update package... verifying update package... E:failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (invalid argument) E:signature verification failed installation aborted Now I find this pretty weird, it almost seems to think I'm trying to update clockwork recovery or something when I'm just trying to partition the card. I've run a check disk on the card, but only with windows so only the fat32 would have been checked. Any suggestions? Is it worth even trying to get rid of the swap file? I've been having trouble with my phone slowing down when it tries to do anything sd card related and as all my apps are installed to sd that's quite a lot. Also my battery life is horrific, which I am assuming is related.

I feel like a total tard but I'm having a lot of trouble finding MIUI for Evo. I stumbled into some thread on xda, where a guy had a signature with his latest Rom. Is this what I should be using? http://miui-dev.com/forums/showthread.php?2053-UPDATE-New-Official-Release-Thread-%28Stock-CM-Mod-Manup-Mod%29-1.1.28 And while we're at it, does anyone have a link to CM7 with 4G support handy? I just looked at the 4G map someone linked a couple pages back and it looks like there is 4G here. I thought the closest was Orlando, then someone told me Ft Lauderdale Beach was teh closest. Turns out its here the whole drat time in Cutler Bay. Too bad I found out just in time to move to a place with no 4G. Found this, but I'm not sure if its the only 4G CM7 or just one that someone put all sorts of extra crap on. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935275 And finally.. I flashed CM7 only a few days ago, and I love it, aside from a few things that are bugging me. I miss the Sense Clock widget and it seems like I have no weather anywhere. Is there something I can use to get a big ol clock widget with teh weather and stuff? The other thing is probably a setting I missed, but there is no 'lock screen', it takes me straight to the enter unlock pattern screen. So if I'm playing music or whatever, there is no widget to control it.

For CM7 with 4G, this is the ROM on xda I was thinking about using, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902051. Looks like it is getting more traffic than the one you referenced. For a clock with weather, I think Beautiful Widgets is what a lot of people use, but it cost $2. The MIUI Digital Weather Clock also looks pretty good, MIUI Digital Clock (pretty much a clone of the sense clock).

I'll probably buy that after trying MIUI.

Anyone else using oxygen 1.0.4 notice that it does not charge past 90% Also about radios, I dont really want to risk creating a brick but my radio number is a higher number than the recommended radio for oxygen. I have no idea what these numbers mean, are all radios backwards compatible as it were or is it worth downgrading the radio to try and get a better battery life out of this? I've been thinking about installing oxygen 2.0 but it's probably worth holding off until the next update I suppose.

Crossbar posted:I really wish I could figure out how you get such great battery life. I'm on rubix and have underclocked and undervolted. I'm at about 30-40% battery after about 14 hours with light use. Not bad, but I'd like to get more. Nothing pops out as a power hog when I check the battery stats or spare parts. My "normal" use is probably light use for most people. I guess I send 100-200 texts per day, play some Wordfeud, use Pulse for maybe half an hour and use the browser for about that much as well. I talk on it what probably averages 10 minutes per day. I have full signal pretty much everywhere I go. Probably one of the big things is I don't use Twitter or Facebook at all. Maybe your battery isn't reporting the right levels. Have you tried recalibrating/bump charging/whatever?

Oxygen is doing some weird stuff, while Im using it the battery last pretty well but overnight it dropped from 80% to 35% which is a tad strange, also it rebooted itself earlier. Which is a bit of a shame because this looks like a really nice tidy rom.

Um, what do you mean by that? I've been using the Cyanogenmod 7 nightlies on my Desire since the middle of January, and it's always been faster than FroYo, and the only bug I noticed was that the FM Radio didn't work until official nightly build 4. What unavoidable bugs have you seen?

You flash radios the same way you would flash any other ROM, ie chuck the zip onto your SD card then install it from recovery. The process is a little different if you've done the S-OFF procedure and are using a different partition table, you'd need to flash it via fastboot in that case. Here is a thread that contains links to all the radio versions. For the battery I'd suggest doing a calibration, basically just charge the phone while it's turned on until the LED goes green, then power off and charge till you see green again then wipe your battery stats from recovery. fishmech posted:What unavoidable bugs have you seen? The main one was a massive lag when answering an incoming call, like several seconds of silence before you finally hear the other caller. Also really jerky performance when scrolling through menus etc. It's entirely possible that these have been fixed by now though, I just remember a dev saying that not much more could be done until an official N1 release was out.

I don't know if this means something is forcing it into a semi wake state or something. I'm going to try it again tonight with the wifi and data turned off to see if its something trying to sync. What's this business about doing checksums for radios though, how does that work? I don't want to accidentally flash the wrong radio. I mean if I download the recommended radio from the oxygen thread and oxygen being a desire specific rom I assume that I will naturally have the correct radio file and nothing will go wrong.

OK. so I think I did something stupid and I need some help fixing it... On Monday night I had to run out of town and I needed Google Navigation to work in order to do it. Well, I flashed back over to CM6.1 (from CM7 Nightly) to I knew I would have working GPS. Once I was back home, I flashed back to CM7 and carried on with life. Now, today, I see that Android Central posted that Twitter for Android updated...so, I went to the Market -> My Apps and it only shows like 10 apps. Everything else I have downloaded and installed is on my phone, and if I search for each app individually it's marked as "Installed" (or "Update" if there is an update available)...but they don't show up in "My Apps". Once I update things, it once again shows up in "My Apps"...but I'm looking for and easier way to fix this without going through each app individually...

Ozmodiar posted:He's interested in rooting and custom ROMs already, Here's the deal with the Epic: the latest officially released firmware is Eclair (DI18), and that's the latest version we have kernel sources for. There's been a few Froyo leaks, latest DK28, but we have no kernel sources. Hence, ROMs are split in two camps: Eclair ROMs typically with highly customized kernels that are fairly feature-complete (USB/RNDIS tethering, undervolt, overclock, more brightness levels, etc.), and less-featureful Froyo ROMs with as many bug fixes the community could manage. Syndicate is supposed to be a pretty darn good and featureful Eclair ROM, I don't think anyone else bothers with Eclair anymore. Of the Froyo ones--not sure, take a look at the ones that have been somewhat recently updated. There's also the CyanogenMod beta. I don't think it's quite there yet, and I probably wouldn't waste too much time with it until Froyo is officially released (with source).
