No problem, give things like... Battery life (make sure you say if your using it light, moderate, or heavy) how the theme looks, how fast it is, any FC's or any problems at all you experienced, and i wouldn't rely on Quadrant.

Most importantly, at the top of every review put "THIS IS A PERSONAL EXPERIENCED-ROM AND EXPERIENCES WILL DIFFER" or something or when you say you got like 60 hours of battery and others get 16 hours... everyone's going to be real pissed at you.

I started a similar thing a month ago, text/video reviews, soon i got hooked into a rom and couldn't move on, so the thread went dead, and i kept the rom, being a reviewer is hard. Everytime a new ROm is out, you must review it, every update etc.
[Vibrant General] DarkRaven66:
Very good tomorrow I'll post a full review of this rom, I'll PM u to let u know when I post it.

I have bionix now and had nero v3....battery life on nero was superb...battery life on bionix sux even with ka5 kernal.
[Vibrant General] gpchess2k:
What are the major differences with Nero vs Bionix V? I'm currently running Bionix V (w/ TW) and its awesome minus the battery life. Here are my list of issues:

- Sometimes the wifi antenna doesnt like to turn on from the notification bar. Have to manually go to settings. 4 out of 10 times.

- Sometimes when using wifi, phone call quality is horrible. Rare though but does happen only when i receive calls. RARELY though....

- Launcher Pro appears frozen at boot. Have to open task manager and restart Launcher Pro. Dont think its a the rom though.... Happens everytime.

But an awesome ROM! One question I have for you all...... Any other TW based roms out there that are anywhere close to as smooth as Bionix V worth trying? Thanx!

Hello Everyone

I tried something stupid and now my Desire doesn't boot anymore. I have made a Nandroid backup, but I am unable to restore with my device, because I don't seem to have the ClockworkMod Recovery

I can go to the screen with the 3 skateboarding androids, but when I choose recovery, It goes to "Android system recovery <2e>". There doesnt seem to be an option to restore Nandroid backups there.

What's the easiest way to restore my backup? I can access my SD-card on my PC.

Or maybe it is easier just to install a random fresh ROM and from there restore my nandroid backup? (but I don't know how to do that from the recovery screens I have access to)

PS: I already tried some things on I found on google, I tried restoring using fastboot method, but get this message:

c:\Android>fastboot flash system system.img

sending 'system' (232637 KB)... FAILED (remote: data length is too large)

Please help, Thanks!

Edit: Tried to manually 'install' ClockWorkMod Image 2.5.0.7 with fastboot... I get the following error:

c:\Android>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.img

sending 'recovery' (4216 KB)... OKAY

writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
You need to be s-off to be able to use those fastboot commands. Have you tried reflashing a custom recovery with unrevoked? Otherwise you probably need to use a Ruu and root again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swimon:
Hi, Thanks

you're right, I do have S-On

I also have H-boot 0.75

(Radio-5.11.05.27 just to be complete)

What do I need to do first? Remember that I am stuck on the HBoot screen (3 skateboarding androids).

Can I get S-off from here and flash ClockworkMod Recovery? Or do I need to flash a RUU Rom first?

Also do I need to update HBoot to 0.80?

And are 'HBoot drivers' the same as the 'Fastboot/ADB drivers' ?

Need more help please. Most tutorials start with a working phone :(

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swimon:
Need some help guys please, Everything I try doesn't seem to work. :(

I figured out my phone is stuck in HBOOT with USB debugging disabled. Because Unrevoked doens't recognize my phone. Next step was to try and install a RUU. But the version I needed is corrupt. (I think) I downloaded twice and it just doens't work, I get an error even before the program loads.

I downloaded from RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed here: http : / / shipped-roms . com/shipped/Bravo/

Should I maybe try another RUU? Maybe 2.29.405.5 ? Or is that not safe?

Grtz!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swimon:
Solved,

when I went into the LOCATION menu...I noticed another parameter...phone finder?

Did this come with the new maps update? i didn't see it before?

If you are using custom roms that use the htcsense.com sync settings then phone finder is one of the options you can enable.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thirtynation:
Hi all.

I'm looking to update my version of xtrSENSE from 4.6.5 to the newest 5.0.1 version. My issue is that I have enabled apps2sd on my current version, and have far more apps installed than available stock app memory on the phone. Titanium Backup is up to date, as is a complete Nandroid+ext backup. The install instructions for the rom suggest wiping factory/data reset, dalvik cache, and ext partition. So my question is, will wiping the ext partition on my sd card cause me to lose all my apps/data? What sort of order should I follow in terms of booting, wiping, restoring, etc.

Thanks for any help in advance. :)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
There is no reason to wipe if you are installing over another version of xtrSENSE.

See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12129548&postcount=1764
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If you pay for Titanium Backup, use the Batch option to backup all your User Apps and Data, but NOT System Data.

From recovery, wipe Factory/Data/Dalvik and flash the new xtrSENSE.

Set up the ROM with at least the basics including running the Apps2SD Gscript and so on. Reboot if necessary (don't recall if it is needed for Apps2SD but can't hurt).

Install Titanium Backup and Batch restore User Apps and Data.

Reboot again if necessary and should be 'voila!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thirtynation:
I saw that, but I know the instructions have also said that it's always best to wipe for best results. The fact that I'm skipping a version also makes me weary of not wiping. I suppose I could try and always restore the nandroid...

Still, if I were to go about it the OCD way.. My apps are still intact in the Titanium Backup, correct? Just wipe factory/dalvik/ext, flash the new rom, set up my partition and apps2sd, then restore them all via TiB?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
Yes, but I would still recommend (since you have a Nandroid and a TiBu backup) to just flash over. If it's messed up, you can just go back and do a full wipe instead.

I've flashed xtrSENSE over stock and it worked just fine.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Definitely do a nandroid before whatever you try. Easiest way to get back. Otherwise, yes at least if you use Titanium Backup to backup your apps and data if you want it...

So, i have a boot and down animation on my sd card that im wanting to use in my CM7 nightly rom. after searching for a while, using the file manager that comes in cm7, i found where my default animations where, but for some reason i was unable to copy and paste the files. anyone know why this restriction is present?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
What were you using to copy and paste the files? Usually you would need to have read/write permissions to change these files. If you are not already, try using a program like Root Explorer.

[Nexus S General] rhcpcjg:
Does anyone have problems with the android keyboard dissapearing? ?? And the only way to get it back is by restarting the phone?
[Nexus S General] Risi2112:
I have several issues with the keyboard including the one you mentioned.

If I plug it in to charge it kind if messes with the calibration and when I'm tying it seems like the phone thinks I'm touching all other parts of the screen (like hitting the backspace will type P's in the text field)

I've also experienced something with the new m.Facebook where ill tap on text field and it'll open up the keyboard but it'll hide again. I have to try to open it sometimes more than 7 or 8 times before it stays open.

I'm thinking of unrooting it and taking it to best buy (I got the protection for it) I've just been lazy about it lol.
[Nexus S General] sagech:
Which charger were you using when the touch screen problem happened?
[Nexus S General] Risi2112:
Which ever charger is at work lol. I think its the moto one that comes with the Droid x (cuz thats what my coworker has)
[Nexus S General] Ulver:
My keyboard will sometimes partly disappear and become unresponsive. It gets really weird when I switch the phone back and forth from landscape. The only way to fix it for me is to restart the phone.
[Nexus S General] sagech:
If I use a third party charger from china to charge my Nexus S, the touchscreen goes crazy too lol. The original charger doesn't do that
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
The worse offense of the keyboard is still the double-letter glitch with the first letter of words (for "eexample"). Still rampant since 2.3.3.

If y'all want to add your recent experiences to the keyboard glitch report I filed with Google, please do: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=14755
[Nexus S General] markatl84:
I have the same issue. The keyboard will disappear and they will just be empty space where it was. If you remember where the buttons are u can still type its there u just can't see it (great, right! ) . I am running stock 2.3.3 and I have done a factory reset for that and other issues but it comes back. I have to turn the phone off and back on to resolve.... until it comes back at least. Happens at least once a week sometimes a lot more sometimes less. Either way, very annoying.

So, no, it's not just you.

I dont think its you guys on the forums responsibility to put this in clear terms but would appreciate if someone could lend a hand. Like a start to finish guide for someone who is completely new to this device and the android os...

Like, what to i need to back up, wtf is booting into recovery and how is this done??? You see what i mean?

I do not want the geniuses on here taking offense to this because your work is what makes this site tick but a clearly laid out and detailed process would be very much appreciated.

It really is as simple as what he says.

2: Watch the video of this method on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0sQFoS_m_8

3: follow video from youtube while doing the root.

4: download and install a rom of your choice or keep the one from bubby.

5: enjoy.

the key is:

after you root, when you restart hold volume down. that opened up a world of ROMS to me.

if I had not already rooted, I would write a step by step for you.

just watch the video.

also, back up your contacts and messages to something - google or mobilego or another program like titanium backup (pre-root) before you do anything. expect to reinstall apps. (amazon is great b/c it keeps track of what you install so you can do an easy reinstall)

hey guys I have a questions. I have my phone rooted using the Simple one Click method, so that that mean my Inspire is also unlocked, like if I put a different sim it would it work or not.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyne2199:
If you just bought the Inspire, you more than likely don't have anything on the phone yet that needs to be backed up other than contacts, which can easily be restored via HTC sync. Bubby's method will spoon-feed you through the entire process, as the tool will do all of the dirty work for you, including the making of your Gold Card. The hack kit is just a little more hands-on, but is just as easy to use. Read through the instructions for both methods, look at the FAQs, and take a look at the threads for each method. You'll see that almost every problem that was run into was solved just by going to the FAQs or by following a quick link from the thread. If terminology is intimidating you, the Devs always do a great job of explaining steps/procedures in layman's terms. The Inspire is a challenge to root because of the necessary ROM-downgrade so that the phone can become exploitable, but take your time with the procedure and you'll get it knocked out on no time. Good luck.

As someone who has just rooted and I am a noob on Android phones. just take your time and read up on the rooting process before you start.It does look intimidating at first,but if you can follow instructions,its really not that hard. The above methods is what I used and good luck.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Roland_D:
The point is that it's a little bit of a leap of faith... you have to follow the steps as you go not knowing what the instruction itself is gonna do the most of the time... the language is indeed intimidating but let's face it... if they say 'boot in recovery mode pressing the power button while you hold volume down' you don't need an explanation of what recovery mode means.... you just press the buttons in the order.. eventually u will understand the rest... :)

Instead of just clicking the link, try right clicking the link and select 'open in new tab'. Theres been several links and downloads that have done that to me too and the opening in new tab seems to work.

so, there is no way to use the Droid Incredible in t-mobile??, which cellphone with the same characteristics and price do you recommend me??. Taking into account that I bought the incredible for $175. I'm living in Florida but I live also in Spain, so it has to be a cellphone that I can use in both places.

Thank you!!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] refthemc:
T-Mobile uses 1700, 1900 and 2100 bands (according to Wikipedia), So if you decide that you would like to continue to use 3G in Spain, then you should subscribe to a network there with equal bands. If that isn't important to you then I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that you could get away with using an AT&T phone for Voice and SMS like some do here with iPhones on T-Mobile.

PhoneArena.Com is a great website that displays technical information about phones, ie supported Bands. and also allows comparisons between them.

My personal suggestion is if you enjoy an Android phone with a form of HTC software like Verizons Droid Incredible then T-Mobiles MyTouch 4G might suffice. Once again this is just my personal opinion though

But I hope this Helps :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ringox:
Thank you!!, but i think that they don't have cdma network in spain, and other thing that i don't understand is why the CDMA cellphones are cheaper than the GSM cellphones if the connection speed in the first one is supposed to be better.

T-Mobile is GSM and the Incredible is on Verizon which is CDMA so no you can't use it on tmobile. If you want something like the Inc on Tmobile I would go with the G2 or Nexus S.
