I did not use Calkulin's format when switching roms. Only 3 wipes.

Here are some thoughts about Roms: They're all fast and stable IMO.

1) TnT-Lite V4.2.5: Quadrant score ~ 2400.

- Pro: Fast and stable. Did not delete media from sdcard2.

- Con: boot up seems a little slow due to sdcard2 scanning, but after scanning it's fast.

2) Vegan V1B5.1.1: Quadrant score ~ 2600-2700.

- Pro: Fast and stable. A tad faster than TnT-Lite.

- Con: media delete from sdcard2. fixed: create a ".nomedia" file in sdcard2.

3) Calkulin V1.1: Quadrant score ~ 2600-2700.

- Pro: Fast and stable. A tad faster than TnT-Lite. Monster Madness run flawlessly.

- Con: media delete from sdcard2. fixed: create a ".nomedia" file in sdcard2.

4) Vegan7 Ginger Bread Experimental

- Pro: Fast, Nice Ginger Bread UI

- Con: Audio still clunky, some games don't work properly vs. TnT-Lite/Vegan V1B511

BTW, I use TnT-Lite or Vegan V1B511 as daily driver.

Hope this help.
[G Tablet General] crutzulee:
Rich, thanks so much for your reply! When I look at your evaluation of vegan 5.1.1 and calkulin and I couple that with Butch's advice here and elsewhere, it makes my decision easy. For now, I will stay put with Vegan.

At some point, I will have to nvflash back to stock in order to take a viewsonic update ( I assume this will be the only way to get a honeycomb based rom, if that is even in the cards for the gtab). At this point, it doesn't seem that there is anything out there worth risking what I have now... a perfectly stable rom which does everything I need it to do with a full market.
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
I still get the itch to change up my tab even though I love where I'm at with VEGAn beta5.1.1, so I started changing themes, bootanimations and boot logos. There are some pretty cool themes made by gto777 that flash with cwm or metamorph. You can find those in the apps and themes thread. Awesome boot animations can also be found there along with instructions on how to load them. If you already know that nvflash is in your future you may want to get a little practice in with it early by changing your boot logo. Nothing made me happier than getting rid of the birds on boot and changing it out for a nvidia tegra2 logo. Its a fun task and there have been people posting their custom boot images for use on the sticky thread in the above mentioned section. Thinking I may re do mine this weekend, saw someone had put their name, number and email on the boot logo. Pretty cool feture as the boot logo survives through rom flashing. Seams pretty handy in cases of loss or theft.

Anyway hope this helps with the flashing itch. Have fun!
[G Tablet General] crutzulee:
OK, so it seems that today's announcement puts honeycreams even further out of our reach.

I can't see myself making changes just for cosmetic purposes. I would only change for either a performance increase or greater compatability with newer software.

It seems that vegantab 5.1.1 will be it for me for a while until maybe the gingerbread version is fully baked.

Hi all,

I have an Evo running cm7 rc2 and when I use my bluetooth in my car calls are fine but when I use it for music everything sounds fine but usually every few minutes it will drop the audio for less than a second then resume just fine I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and has a fix or any ideas.

Is Honeycomb worth flashing to NC? Running Ultimate Droid on it now.

I have no issues with UD but I am thinking about HC. But I dont wanna flash it if its gonna be laggy and unstable. Only wanna try it if their is a benefit.
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
Frankly, anything is better than "Ultimate droid"....
[Nook Color General] TheXclusive814:
I had UD on my OG droid and now on my NC and never ever a problem with any of his work. Only on my DX i dont cause I like blur.
[Nook Color General] bdcrim:
I have been running HC (Samuel's emmc flash V2) daily for a couple of weeks. I came from CM7 nightly. I like it because if has more of a tablet feel. It is very stable with few force closes. The stock launcher is awesome. It may be a little slower, but still nice. Matter of fact, it seems to have become more responsive as time goes by. Most of the browsers are laggy. I have found that the stock browser responds well and works best for me. Flash is still an issue. I can play some videos from some web sites, but cant from others. I use mine mainly for email, web browsing and reading. I am content to stay with it until updates come. Be informed, you will more than likely lose CWR if it is installed internally. If so, a bootable SD card will have to be burned.
[Nook Color General] painter_:
If you are using Ultimate droid you should use and support CM7 since that is where he is getting the base ROM, although the developer does not give the credit to the CM developers.
[Nook Color General] grinch247:
uhhhh yeah he does....
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
Yes, he gives them "credit" for "features", but doesn't say that his code base IS CM7, and that he does nothing more than mod it a bit, and charge for nightlys. UD is a complete bane to this community.
[Nook Color General] TheXclusive814:
ALOT of roms for NC and phones are based off of Cm to some given extent (i know there are exceptions)...Any people who are into /flash custom roms know this. But people still get all :mad: when something is not mentioned...If its a given then does it really need repeated everytime.
[Nook Color General] grinch247:
agree 100%

now to get back to what was asked in the 1st place...as far as I know/read...its still somewhat laggy/buggy....but do a back up and try for yourself :)

Bonsai team just released v4.0.0 based on EC05. That's awesome!!

The thread was shortly thereafter closed by scotsman with the folling message

With all due respect to scotsman and the other mods (and much is due), this sort of moderation is very frustrating to the community, and sure to create more work and headaches for you guys than simply expending a tiny, miniscule bit of additional effort when you take actions like this:

Explain specifically what the non-compliance is/was.

No one probably would care in the case of the five billionth "Samsung sucks" thread. On a thread like the Bonsai release thread, however, or any similarly popular argulably important (to the community) thread, it is only prudent to be a bit more explanatory when such a severe action is taken.

I was able to successfully get the release, of course. That's not the issue. I have some comments I'd like to post; a few questions too. Failing to see what rule violation has taken place, after reading the thread, I'm left confused, frustrated, and (right or wrong) feeling abused by the moderator (mildly so, to be sure).

Second, there seems to be a catch-22 here: If the thread is non-compliant somehow, and has been closed until it can be made compliant, one is left wondering: How can that happen if the thread is closed?

Scotsman, please update your closure post to help the community better understand what is going on. Save yourself, and the community, some grief. The effort is less than it will take to reply to this thread.
[Epic 4G General] TrentB:
From my understanding it is because you have to register on their site to download it.
[Epic 4G General] Dameon87:
Correct. Download links are not supposed to be posted on sites that require registration. Not to mention the method they do so acts more like a shopping cart/buying system than a download system. It gives a very bad image, and they need to rectify it.
[Epic 4G General] kelmar13:
I mean this sincerely, but wouldn't it have been easier to PM the moderator who closed this so that your concerns could be addressed correctly and efficiently?
[Epic 4G General] byersbw:
Honestly I'm glad it was closed. And if you register for that website, you'll see it's money money money, donate here, give us that there... if you want money for it, fine. Sell it. I already have to register for enough crap, I don't need to register for anymore.

Scotsman, keep up the great work that you do!
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
No.

Further, the answers provided here would not have been available to the community. I would have had to post a thread anyway with the answer, hence "not easier".

You may disagree that this information justifies public airing. That's fair. We simply disagree with each other.
[Epic 4G General] kelmar13:
But the moderator already said that it wasn't in compliance with forum rules....

Oh well, I'm not worried about it....
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
Seems petty that XDA is so closed a forum, considering it supports Android, which is supposed to be open source

I "may" understand if it was linking to somewhere where you HAD to pay, but the website only required you to register, not pay.

Seems no one is "allowed" to provide helpful links to anywhere else, kinda sad for an "open source" website.

Actions like that by Mods devastate a community even worse then even the harshest of trolls

Just another example why XDA has the bad rep it does.
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
I completely understand your POV, and it has merit. I don't agree with it (I find it quite easy to spend maybe 30 seconds registering and clicking past the entreaties to donate).

If it violates the forum rules, they should be enforced. I have no problem with that.

What I do have a problem with is mysterious closures of threads. While some here are well-versed on the forum rules, most are not. And even those of us that have read through them in their entirety do not necessarily spot the reason for a closure.

When the specific reason can be so easily put in the closure post, and of course the mod that made the decision knows precisely why they are closing it, it simply is not reasonable to expect thousands of other members to have to go back and commit the equivalent of legal research in the forum rules to figure out what the mod could simply have articulated with a short sentence.

The latter would serve the community far better -- and isn't that a core responsibility of mods?

The forum has the rules it does, and frankly, I don't think the issue of the Bonsai team's approach here to distribution is worth arguing about. It would be an exercise in mental masturbation that would never come to any resolution. Some people are highly irritated by their approach to soliciting donations, some aren't bothered at all (me, for instance). Regardless, they should follow the rules when posting here.

None of that has anything to do with how moderators do their jobs. I have no particularly pointed criticism for scotsman, or any other mod w.r.t. to this issue. Rather, I am suggesting a way to better serve their "customers", and make their own job here easier. They can consider it, or ignore it.
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
For what it's worth, I had issues registering and actually getting to the download when I tested it. That has nothing to do with the merit of an off-site download or the need to register, of course.
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
An entirely informationless reason.

That's the reason that every closed thread gets closed. It isn't enlightening at all.
[Epic 4G General] kelmar13:
Well, the Forum Rules state that

It appears as though Mammon doesn't have 1500 posts which would make him in violation of the rules and thus the reason for his thread being closed.

I'm sure that all of this was explained to him via PM though.

:)
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
the real issue here is that people with issues can't post them now. but i gotta agree, while registering wasn't that much of a hassle, try downloading the thing from your phone, you gotta go through 16 prompts and 666 other things, speak to satan, make sure jesus is on your side and then you can finally download it. thats a lot of hassle from a phone browser. or you can download it to your computer. connect your phone, speak to satan, make sure jesus is on your side and maybe the computer will decide it llikes the phone enough to show the drive where you can copy it.

but I can go to ACS, click download and have it on my phone in 2 seconds.

I do agree that forums shouldn't get closed like this without explanation, but we saw the same thing with epic experience and frankly usually the quality gets worse not better once this starts to happen. With Epic experience, the rom went from superstable to so buggy it was unusable and the heads started to get quite swelled.
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
You're problem, obviously, clearly is that you are not already pre-qualified with Satan and Jesus, as I am, thereby supernaturally being silently led around 15 of the prompts and 665 of the links. Much like a VIP passing the line at a hot nightclub.

Go and register at http://SatanIsMyBud.com and http://JesusDigsMe.com, and you'll avoid these problems. Don't worry about the apparent conflict -- they're enemies, and don't share databases.

I understand. At the same time, this is all free, the "providers" are donating their time and effort to us "consumers", so a certain degree of forebearance seems appropriate, IMO.

This is all very personal and subjective, similar in many ways to one's musical tastes. There's no point in arguing "is not! is too!" over such things -- I really don't mind jumping through some hoops for a

few minutes

to get something awesome for free. But that's just me, and my personality. Others do, and I bear no criticism or ill-will for their perspective.

The one criticism I do have is for those that slag on the guys. If you were paying for a product/service, sure, you have some standing. However, if you're simply taking advantage of their donated work, you certainly have the option not to, and go somewhere else (like ACS, for example). There seem to me nothing good to be accomplished by anyone being so critical, and appearing like a selfish ingrate.

I'm curious to what happened to the noobnl thread where he I believe he called out mammon on the website stuff or something of that nature I didn't get to see his actual post cuz he edited it and today I can't find it anywhere.

Maybe its just me, but I really didn't need an explanation to figure it out.

[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
I'm sure it's not just you.

But then, I didn't, and I'm certain there are plenty of others like me too.

What I don't get is the (seeming) arrogance of some in the former camp that lack the basic civility to understand that both outcomes are entirely reasonable, and that intelligent, competent members of the community can arrive at either conclusion.

By "seeming arrogance" I refer to meaningless statements like, "Maybe it's just me", where the intended meaning is culturally well-established, and in my 49 years of life has never -- not once -- been said with any intent other than to denigrate others.

But then, maybe that's just me... :D
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
Mammon, Randy, et. al.: I have a suggestion for how to solve this problem.

Post a link to the Wiki, as you've done before, and then put the link to the "offending" site there, instead of a direct download.

I believe that would satisfy the Forum Rules, but of course defer to the moderators. Would any of them -- particularly scotsman -- care to weigh in?
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
What he needs to do is set it up like midnite rom. How he offers the rom on both sites and keeps the main support at his site and add ons. But that type of stuff irritates me. Just offer all of it here. I hate having to be redirected to another site.
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
I was going to try midnight, but I couldn't even find the rom to download. direct downloads really are best, especially from the phone perspective.
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
Much of my attitude about things like this is driven by my economic philosophy, which is exceedingly pro free-market.

As such, I just don't get my dander up about what people that are devoting tons of labor on simply give away. I look at the process/effort to get it as "the price", and no more get upset/irritated/pissed than I do when I choose not to buy something because the price is more than I'm willing to pay. I simply look for a competitor where the cost/benefit is more in line with my liking.

Sadly, far too many people do not understand, nor incorporated into their ethics this basic fairness. Rather, they have an entitlement philosophy, acting (if not actually believing) that they should have what they want, when they want it, the way the want it, and that others are somehow obligated to work to provide it to them or they get "irritated".

Honestly, I don't understand this attitude. Particularly since it is entirely inconsistent with their always completely flipped attitude when the roles are reversed.

It makes no sense to get upset with someone simply because they don't voluntarily serve you. The only way I can make sense of such behavior is insulting to those that exhibit it, so I won't go there.
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
noobnl and Dameon87's thread was making very good suggestions re: journaling being an option, dual FS support, and I cannot remember the other, I think it has to do with the mess over the update... ask them... or ask impaler, he closed it, stated reason being members giving a 'Mandate' (in the thread title) to others. I definately see Impaler's point, and I dont think it was the best word for the statement, but I also have been wondering where the RFS/EXT w/ journaling issue went... irc only?? I dont have time for that, but I WOULD like to see options regarding those... at LEAST journaling being optional, as I believe I had an issue with that. OH! the other issue being tricks to inflate benchmarks... which are shady, for sure. I understand that RFS and with journaling requires more support, and therefore the setups the community want most get made... If there are other supporters of either setup, or access to both, maybe they should be more vocal... as at one point the whole issue just vanished... and I think its because people felt they had no choice as all the biggest Roms went with EXT4 no Journaling, I kinda figured I was just screwed as there was not enough others wanting a little more stability in place of a little inflated speed, especially as with all the other awesome stuff the devs do, I think the speed loss (other than in benchmarks) would be acceptable.
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
You know, from my own personal, selfish perspective, I completely agree. 100%.

However, I recognize that my own desires and views are not the only thing that matters in a case like this.

Let people, acting freely, drive this. If a large enough segment of their users object, and move to a competing work product, they'll change their ways or die on the vine. I have no doubt the Bonsai team wants lots and lots of people to use their ROM regardless of whether they donate or not, and will change the approach if it has enough of a negative impact on the user-base.

I doubt, however, that trying to harangue or shame them into doing it differently will have much of an impact other than hardening their position. I've been on this earth long enough to understand the power of that wisdom.
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
Isn't journaling configurable via the init.d user scripts on Bonsai?

If so, it's not a "user-friendly" way to turn it on and off for the average person -- even here, but at least it's possible.

I'll go back and look, and if this i something that can be turned on/off via editing some bootup script, perhaps I'll hack up some shell scripts to do the dirty work, reducing the technical complexity to simply getting a shell prompt (ConnectBot, Terminal, etc.) and running the script.
