Sounds like it could be related to you not having a Samsung Fascinate. I'd try to get a Samsung Fascinate and then you might have better luck.

Get back to work.

You probably did not catch my recommendation to use 3.0.0.7. 3.0.0.8 has known problems with not clearing everything.

In ROM Manager at the bottom install CWM 3.0.0.7 and try flashing the ROM from the SD Card with ROM Manager and select the wipe option.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KB3MMX:
I might have to try this too as I'm having troubles installing roms and sticking in boot loop ..

If I change to CWM 3.0.0.7 from my current 3.0.0.8, will my previous backups on 3.0.0.8 still be useable through 3.0.0.7?

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keyboards:
Yes your backups will work
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JWhetstone02:
I will give that a try. I currently have only two flashable files for clockworkmod ... v3.0.0.8 and v2.5.1.2

I'll try and find the previous versions of clockworkmod, nandroid backup my working ROM, wipe data/factory reset, cache and dalvik and try this one more again.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newt:
Flash this zip before you flash the Rom this is for CWM 3.X.X.X it will wipe everything I have one for older clockworks to just let me know

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericklind:
Hi,

I just flashed SuperClean 2.9.2 (non-voodoo) yesterday, and I love the speed, but it really drains the battery pretty fast. For example, with minimal usage it drains from 100 to 82 in less than two hours. That's a lot worse than the stock settings I had on there before. Since I'm new at this, is that normal? If I switch to a better kernel would that fix it? Any suggestions on what to do or tweak?

Thanks!

[Update] 3/30/11

So after a full day of observation, I've noticed that it seems to go from 100 to 80 fairly quickly (less than 2 hours), but then the rate slows down. It took 4 hours to go from 80 to 62. Then last night I left it on all night, starting at 78 and it is now at 48 (almost 12 hours). Obviously I wasn't using it much overnight, but I wasn't using it much when the initial drain from 100 to 80 happened. Might just be that the meter is not consistent? But at least I know that it's not draining faster than the old setup.

Still looking into the idea of an undervolted kernel. Any good suggestions?

Thanks!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exzacklyright:
An undervolted kernel might help but who knows... if I get over 5 hours I usually consider myself lucky.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acarter316:

Not sure why this double posted. Must have been my frustration waiting 5 minutes just to edit an already posted post to correct the name of the app....
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suicide Shift:
Each phone reacts differently to ROMs / Kernels when it comes to battery life. Same setup shows different battery life for different people.

First I would use the "Spare Parts" app and see if you can find any app taking up a lot of your battery life and remove it. (included in SC ROMs)

People also report different battery life with different Kernels. You can flash different Kernels that work with your ROM to see if you can get better battery life.

You also may need to remap your battery. There are posts on how to do so. Basically you charge to 100%, shut down and wait for it to show 100% with power off, then boot, go into Terminal gain SU and type bstats. Phone will reboot. This should be done anytime you flash a new Kernel and some do it with ROM flashes too.

Also don't run screen at 100% bright, use auto or something at or less than 30% unless you are in sunlight.

When not in use turn off WiFi and GPS as well.

All I can think of right now
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperFan86:
I know some of the kernels are designed to recognize an aftermarket battery (see link below)

Each phone is different, but when you are getting 18+ hours with dj05 then you go to sc 2.9.2 and only get 5 hours after you follow the directions there is a problem :(
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selvikin:
Running not even 2 hrs yet and mines at 70% right now from a full charge, so I feel your guys(gals)' pain. I checked with Spare Parts and noticed that under "Network Usage" there is a "0" that seems to be using up a LOT of juice. Searching it up on google brought me to a possible issue with GSM/CDMA (Time w/o signal issue). I remember issues with this with the D1 and the Eris, usually you could fix it on those phones by turning on Airplane Mode for a little while, then turning it back off.

EC10 is based off a GSM SGS phone if I'm not mistaken, and because of that may make the phone try to find a GSM signal. My time without signal was around 45% this morning so I dug around threads with similar issues with other phones brought me to this Hero CDMA thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=651848 .

Now we do have the same menu as shown here: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series&oldid=13336#Secret_Codes

My thing is that I can't access it using SC 2.9.2. It doesn't automatically go to any of the menus. Anyone else have an issue getting into any of the secret menus?

It also looks like turning the airplane mode on and off seems to work for now.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefthomas99:
so a solution for now would be a stock rom? Or an aosp?

I have the problem that, when the music ist very quietly I hear a loud noise in my earphones. When I pause teh music i hear it loud. When the player shuts down the noise is away.

I have Ultimate Ears UE-900. I hear ist only with high quality earsphone.

Anyone the same problem?
[HTC Incredible S] chiefmcbeef:
I had the same issue with various devices such as iPods and various phones using Shure E4C earphones.

The solution or work around was to add some resistance in line after some reading on the head-fi forums a few years ago.

This can be done by getting a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable and soldering a certain resistor inline (can't remember which),

or an easier cleaner solution, use an inline attenuator/volume control. One comes with the E4Cs so I used this. Turn up the volume on the source/phone/device and use the volume control on the attenuator to adjust to your liking, this should remove or reduce the hissing that is generated whenver the phone/media player's sound system is outputting a signal.

Hate for this to be my first post, but I'm out of Ideas.

I loaded CM RC-1, after the install it could not read my SD card, and like an idiot I let it format it, which nuked my backup. Now I seem to be stuck CM, I can load RC & nightly builds with no problems, but for the life of me I can not go back to Sprint Lover's Image, or any ROM's other than CM's. Any suggestions? :confused:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost_man10002:
Just redownload whateva rom you would like to use put it on the root of your sd card then go into recovery, full wipe (data, cache and davlick (system, boot [if you are using amon_ra 2.3 if not skip this])) then flash it friend and you are golden.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You need to re-download a rom and place it on your sdcard. Then boot into recovery wipe your factory/data, cache, and dalvik, then flash the from from install zip from sdcard. If you're flashing a gingerbread rom, you need to flash the latest gapps with it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoenixhawk1976:
That's the problem, it will not install anything else. Either get could not find script error when trying to install from multiple different roms.

Tried just running the RRU, but neither HTC sync drivers or hboot drivers can see the phone to run the restore.

Using RA and selecting Flash zip from sdcard does the following

Install : PC36IMG.zip ?

Press power to confirm, or any other key to abort.

Install from sdcard...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

E:Can't fund update script

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoenixhawk1976:
I'm starting to think it may be some kind of issue with CM and the SD card.

I've downloaded multiple times, and multiple times I've copied the zip from the computer to the phone it's been slow copying.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
The PC36IMG needs to be flashed from the bootloader. When you boot there, give it 10 seconds and then apply the update and reboot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Can you get into recovery? If you can and if it is amon RA, go to the Partition SD Card menu and select Partition SD. Afterwards, select Repair SD:ext. Hit RETURN and then go to the USB-MS toggle menu, but before selecting it, attached your EVO to your computer. opy the rom(s) to the root of your SD card. Also copy a fresh amon RA recovery .img file just in case you need to reflash amon RA from the bootloader screen.

Try to flash the rom you copied over to your SD card and see if you are successful. If you are not, reflash amon RA, preferably, version 2.3.

By the way, there does "appear" to be a growing number of issues involving CM7, SD cards & recovery problems. People are trying diligently to find a solution to those complaints.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoenixhawk1976:
Finally got it fixed, the issue seems to be with how CM is formatting & R/Wing to the card. What I had to do was download the Stock-Rooted image via Rom Manager and then flash to RA, boot into RA, and install the image from RA.

Reformatted the SDcard and I just tried transferring files to and from the sdcard, both copy & move. Copies 200megs to and from the card in a flash once again.

03.30.2011 -=*[ working on automation of backup/install of the Boot Animation... ]*=-

!!COMPLETED!! see bottom of OP

i made a few Boot Animations to go with my GingerBlur'd phone if anyone is interested in them. they're nothing fancy, just something different to look at.

GingerBlur-bootanimation-1.zip

GingerBlur-bootanimation-2.zip

GingerBlur-bootanimation-3.zip

you will need to rename the respective GingerBlur-bootanimation-x.zip to bootanimation.zip.

original design was by ZeliardM for the Eris. i made some changes for GingerBlur.

Installation Instructions:

The script that's run on your phone WILL back up your existing /system/media/bootanimation.zip file ONE time and that's it. As long as the backup (/system/media/bootanimation.zipORG) exists from then on, it will simply overwrite the /system/media/bootanimation.zip file each time you run the install. this script should work for any of the Boot Animations that you get your hands on as long as there is a bootanimation.zip file in the same directory as the batch and script file (explanation(s) below). you can always revert back to your original bootanimation.zip, but you'll need to do so manually using adb to copy the /system/media/bootanimation.zipORG -> /system/media/bootanimation.zip ;)

Download your Boot Animation of choice from the above links

Download the zip file (GB-BootAni.zip) below containing the install .bat and .sh file.

unzip the GB-BootAni.zip file you downloaded (should create you a GB-BootAni directory)

place your downloaded Boot Animation zip file in the above directory and either rename it bootanimation.zip or copy the file to bootanimation.zip

run the GB-BootAni.bat and the rest should take care of itself. ;)

Download GB-BootAni.zip (installation helper for the GingerBlur Boot Animations)

md5sum: f20838c2d293f181f1f2d5650f6e8f83

i welcome any and all feedback...good, bad or indifferent. :D
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Clienterror:
Looks good! I'm loving all the boot screen's that have come out so far, great work!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] crea78:
Looks nice, and how would you go about installing this to your phone? Asking b/c I've never done this before.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] itsonlym3:
i'll try to post a script to facilitate things, but basically:

copy/rename the .zip file to bootanimation.zip

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/tmp

adb shell

<the above is done from your windows/linux machine>

<here down is done on your phone>

$ su

# cp /data/local/tmp/bootanimation.zip /system/media

# rm /data/local/tmp/bootanimation.zip (optional)

# reboot

...sit back and watch the magic happen. :)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] crea78:
Thanks, and a script would be much easier to use :)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Always_Jonezen:
Can I do this on a stock atrix 4g
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] itsonlym3:
you have to have "root" access in order to write to /system/media/
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] crea78:
itsonlym3, I'm trying to do this manually via adb. First, does it matter where we put the bootanimation.zip because when I insert adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/tmp in the command terminal, I get a "cannot start bootanimation.zip: No such file or directory"

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here...
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Always_Jonezen:
that sucks i lost my root with that update to 1.5.7
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] itsonlym3:
you know you can get it back, right? you'll have to revert back and what not, but you can still have your update and get your root back.

check out this [SCRIPT] Root for 4.1.57 (RELEASED!) (requires 4.1.26 rooted) thread.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] itsonlym3:
you need to issue the push (adb push) from your Winxx or Linux machine. if you've got adb in your path (which you probably do), then go into the directory where you downloaded the new bootanimation.zip and issue:

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/tmp/

that better?

i'm kind of assuming there's a /data/local/tmp. hopefully i'm correct in my assumption....?

sorry, i'm working on a script to automate this, just been busy. :/

also, you should probably back up your existing bootanimation.zip file before overwriting it if you'd like to keep it. PM me and i'll walk you through it if you need help. i'll add manual instructions to the OP once i finish up the automated script.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] crea78:
That clears things up. I'm patient on you making a script, and good point on making a backup.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] itsonlym3:
added installer and its usage to OP.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] crea78:
Even while using the script, the installer failed because of the data/local/temp not being found. Not sure how to find the path in order to see if bootanimation.zip is located in there.

Edit: when I type in %temp% in the start - search, it pops up my local temp files, but there is nothing in that folder?? I'm using Chrome as a browser if that makes a difference.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] itsonlym3:
/data/local/tmp is a path on your phone.

you should take whichever Boot Animation file you would like to use, copy it to the directory where you unzipped the installer and name it: bootanimation.zip

then while in that directory, you should run GB-BootAni.bat file and it should do the rest for you.

first off, when you get to a command line on your PC and type:

adb devices

does it return return/display something like this:

List of devices attached

TB30607H83 device
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] crea78:
Stupid me!! I named the zip as bootanimation.zip so it read "bootanimation.zip.zip" so that is why it never worked. The new bootanimation works perfectly after I figured out my error :)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] itsonlym3:

Thanks for the update
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Spaztazim:
where do you put the script folder to run it? im having no luck getting it to take
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] itsonlym3:
you should be able to put it anywhere on your machine, as long as you have adb.exe in your path somewhere. i didn't add it to the zip file, but i suppose i could.

is that what you were asking?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Spaztazim:
Yep didn't do the adb part, I got creative and made my own animation by combining the peking droid and honeycomb takeover then figured out how to install it manually

[LG Optimus 2x] sorech:
I just got the OpX2 and 16 GB SD to use with it. I found out the hard way the phone can only uses the internal SD (5.5 GB). This makes the phone practically unusable! There is a setting to unmount the internal SD, but that also unmounts the external SD >:-(

I'm thinking: Root the device and mount the external SD as primary.

Has anybody tried this?

Update:

I started this thread because I was angry about my Spotify cache did not fit on the 5.5 GB internal SD. But Instead of mounting the cards differently, I figured well maintained Apps will gain support for this kind of internal/eternal storage so changing the mount points might disturb other apps, I hacked the Spotify apk to put the chache on the external SD card. The path to the eternal storage is hard-coded not a setting, anyways I changed it from /sdcard[/spoify2] to /sdcard/_ExternalSD[/spotify2].

Here is a link to the modified Spotify apk.
[LG Optimus 2x] ULJ:
Yeah, I would like to know this too.
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
What exactly are the problem you think you have which makes it unusable ?
[LG Optimus 2x] ULJ:
If you add a 32 gb SD card then it is seen as external SD card and you cannot use it to install applications on because the internal storage is mounted as "internal memory" and "SD card". That's the problem.
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
Well, it would need a kernel change first but it can be done:

First:

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 to something other than /sdcard at boot

Then:

mount /<your mount point>/_ExternalSD at /sdcard

I think your SD card would have to have an EXT partition which is what would be used. And because of this there's little point.
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
No that is not really a problem. You can never install applications on the SD card - no matter if its internal or external (unless you hack the phone)

On android phones, theres a dedicated apps partition where apps get installed, on most phones this partition is only a few hundred mb big (the Desire for instance only has 145mb), on the LG it is 1.45gb - besides this internal apps partition Android 2.2 has a function called "move to sd" which you can select for individual applications. This function only moves some part of the application to the SD card but still leaves some part of the application in the apps partition. Hov much you can move and if you can move anything at all depends on every individual application - some apps dont support this function, others only move little to the SD card, and then others again move a larger part to the SD card.

Its true that when using this function you are limited to the internal SD card which is an extra 5.5 gb - but the point is that this is plenty space for apps, because Android apps dont take up GB's of space. They are mostly very small (few kb or mb) and hundreds of these will easily fit inside the 1.45gb apps partition, except for a few 3d games which make take up an additional 1-300mb of gametextures being stored on the SD card.

But overall you have easily around 6gb for apps storage which is plenty of space for this particular purpose for almost anyone, no matter what use they have. It would normally mean allowing for hundreds of varied apps to be installed. Just dont fill up the internal SD card with other things like mediafiles (music, video etc.) - instead place these kind of files on the external SD card.

Talking about the phone being unusable because it "only" has around 6gb of apps space is a little silly. Sure if the only apps you want to install are 3d games and we imagine each of them taking up 200mb for textures - then you are limited to 30 games, or 60 games if each take up 100mb (unless some of them would allow the textures to be installed on the external SD card) - but how likely is that scenario ? And even if, it doesnt really make the phone "unusable" - then you would just prioritize and install the 20-40 most important ones. Noone "needs" to have 30-60 3d games installed at the same time on a phone. You cant even get 30 3d games of that size currently.

:)
