I just had to come back to this thread to say - regarding the whole Sense vs. Stock thing earlier in this thread and in countless others - I have been a Sense loyalist, but after having spent the last few hours playing with Launcher Plus Pro, I have to say - it's a better alternative. It's kind of awesome. I'm sure most of you know about it already, but it has sense-like Calendar widget, Facebook, Twitter, and Friends (their "Friendstream) widget, Bookmarks, People, even an awesome Gmail Widget. And not only do they look good - they work BETTER than the Sense versions. Using LPP's Friends widget for example, is really fast, whereas Sense's Friendstream is painfully slow. The Calendar widget is amazing, you get both grid and agenda in one smooth widget. Add to this the far superior launcher (which was really the only thing I hated about Sense and that made me want to try an alternative), and the ability to adjust widget sizes to taste, not to mention the many other bells and whistles, and it makes it the way to go for me from here on in. Or at least until something shiny and new comes along. Considering how much I use my phone and how big a part of my daily life it is, I didn't mind spending the $3.50. Totally worht it for me.

Now that I've reached this point, I think it's finally time to root.

I've been using ADW Launcher EX for awhile now, but a home replacement app doesn't change my preference for Sense over AOSP simply for the social integration and contacts layout and all the other little tweaks.
[myTouch 4G General] blue72:
How about having the ability to turn off sense and run stock? That should solve the whole debate and enjoy the best (and worse) of both ROMS.
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
You can run a third party launcher over the top of Rosie, but there's no way to turn Sense off. It's integrated into everything from the phone app to the browser to the settings menu.

That's alright. You will be back!!
[EVO 4G General] snowboarda42:
Welcome to the club! You'll get used to all the little differences quickly and wonder why you didn't switch earlier. For some cool widgets, check out the sticky called "commonly used widgets"under the android general section. You'll most likely get beautiful widgets or fancy widgets if you like the sense based ones. I agree, cyanogenmod seems snappier, simply because it is. Theres less crap running in the background like sense so things load faster and respond better. You might consider also getting adw ex or launcher pro, both will make it even more smooth. AFTER you do, you can uninstall the regular version of adw with titanium backup.

Glad you like it so far!

My phone ran out of memory for the first time last night using cm7, using pic say pro I got a pop up telling me it could not complete the task due to low memory. It was also around 65 mb. I used my system panel to clear the memory andnit was fine after that. Maybe its just my phone, but it just seems to perform better using a sense ROM.

The main reason I like cm7 is the great battery life.
[EVO 4G General] jstalford:
Glad you're enjoying it. I used to go back and forth the Sense, but I haven't been off AOSP for a while. Once you get used to it, it's much better.

To turn off the camera click, you need to delete the sound file with Root Explorer. It's under System>Media>Audio>UI>camera_click.ogg.
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
The sense roms are definitely more stable and prettier. But I just feel like I'm wading in a sea of molasses.

When I go from Sense to CM I feel like I just took a 20 pound dump. Ahhhhhhhhh.... nice.
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
Actually, PicSay pro was complaining about low RAM memory, not regular storage memory--I'm assuming you were trying to export a high def picture with lots of effects. It uses up tons and tons of ram and the same would happen on sense too.

I had the same perception that somehow Sense was better and more stable. It took me a full month to realize that both CM7 and Sense are stable.

Also CM7 is way better on touch responsiveness and scrolling because Gingerbread has dramatically improved core video drivers.
[EVO 4G General] Pao23:
As long as you like your personal phone experience then I'm happy for you. I personally don't care for CM, at least not for the Evo. I used to use it on my Windows 6.1 touch pro and had fun. But it just doesn't have enough stability and usefullness for me on the Evo.

The only AOSP rom I was able to use for extended periods of time Deck's. It was a lot more stable, and usable then CM. Only problem is it doesn't have the rabid raving fan base behind it, it's better to be first, not necessarily the best, but that was just my experience with it. I've put CM on my phone probably 7 times now, and it never lasts, I like my equipment to work and work well, when I want it to, every time. AOSP on our phone does not provide that for me.

The camera sucks, actually takes worse pictures, viewing pictures sucks too. Even using 3rd party galleries, pictures are never as clear as on a sense rom. Here is a post I made about it last Sept. and sadly nothing has changed about it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8141530#post8141530

You'll find likes and dislikes, if you prefer it then good for you. But makes sure you test everything out first. I personally would recommend Dark Cocoa II by 1975Jamie. I love this one, I currently have a crapload of apps installed and am at 295mb free on my internal storage.

I've tried warm 2.2, it was really nice at first, but that rom fell apart very quickly, I think i was off it within a week. Dark cocoa rls II has kept me for a very long time.

Again, all is personal.
[EVO 4G General] Neo3D:
You're right, I'm back! The Hotspot app in CM7 was providing very unstable internet routing and connection. I tried installing the WiFi Tether app but I think ppl have trouble getting that to work on CM-7. I posted the issue here:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...ions-of-wifi-tether-app-for-evo-21-wont-work/

BTW, this is the first time I had to do a Nandroid restore and I found out that:

It wouldn't restore from the phone, I had to use ADB shell on the laptop

Nandroid didn't make a nandroid.md5 file, so I had to make one myself

It was scary running into these issue on my first restore!

Anyway, I got restore to work, do this:

adb shell

cd sdcard

cd nandroid

cd [your phones special serial ID folder]

cd [the restore folder you want to restore]

from here create the MD5 file from this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=785858

enter in the restore command shown from the phone

it will ask you to confirm the directory then hit ENTER

Just FYI!
[EVO 4G General] Neo3D:
I think CM-7 comes with ADW EX? Yea, I had to go back to Myn's cuz of Wifi Tether but I can't wait to go back to CM-7! :cool:
[EVO 4G General] Neo3D:
Is that a Sense ROM? I like Sense, but I'm hoping that in Sense 2.x+ and 3.0, they fixed the problem of the widgets just randomly losing its data and having to reload it, quite annoying.
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
Yea that's what I ment I ran out of RAM on cm7, I didn't think it was possible since I don't have a lot running in the first place. I was adding effects to a pic I took with the front cam. So it wasn't that big of a file.
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
Just the plain adw launcher, EX is the paid version with extra features.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Guys, just use VaelPak... it is basically a Sense CM. I'm loving Go Launcher with it. By far the best launcher I've tried between LP, ADW, Sense, and Go.

PS - All ROMs feel snappy when it's fresh... wait a couple of weeks to really assess. CM started dragging ass then.
[EVO 4G General] ECrispy:
For launchers, I recommend Go Launcher Ex. Its basically Launcher Pro without the extra widgets, and its free. Actually all the Go team apps like Go SMS Pro are rapidly becoming my favorite.
[EVO 4G General] Pivo187:
There is a final already?
[EVO 4G General] Pivo187:
I have destroyer v2 is that CM final or a diff build? hello?
[EVO 4G General] UndergroundDesigns:
The final build is CM7. No other names, not a nightly.

HOWEVER...

GPS has split personalities

4G is is a bit slow and slightly psychotic

Going to stock than back to CM7 gets the GPS to work for about the time it takes to locate you, doesn't work for navigation.

Screen lock has an uncanny ability to make the screen go blank, causing you to go batty pressing the sleep button numerous times until the screen decides to turn on.

Yes its snappy, and more efficient. But its not what I'd call stable.

I love sense sometimes but batt life is mediocre, and as well sense is a ram hog.

Im switching back to dark cocoa 2.

[EVO 4G General] akira13126:
I 100% agree "just use vaelpak". I came from Myns to Vaelpak about a month ago and couldnt be happier. It was starting to mess up a little bit, the kernel i was using didnt agree. So I figure I would try CM7, seeing how everyone loves it and brags about it. Well.... It's just not for me, to jumpy for my phone and I like when everything works/stable
[EVO 4G General] Neo3D:
Yes! But I checked my thread on CM forums about the Wifi tether issue, and it looks like others have the same issue. If you never use Wifi tether then try it out, cm7 is awesome.
[EVO 4G General] Neo3D:
Hmm, I'm on Myn's right now. I'll have to give vaelpak a look. :cool:
[EVO 4G General] teejay89:
My simple answer- use Deck's. It's more stable than CM7 a lot of the time and the battery life is amazing (at least with Tiamat). http://imgur.com/LE54H.png

Plus it's fast, just got a 1258 quadrant score without overclocking at all
[EVO 4G General] :
I just installed CM7 as well. GPS worked off rip! I love the AOSP Dialer. Im able to change the language of my phone to Swedish which will help me learn the language better. I wanted the custom stock htc notification icons but i installed a red theme from theme chooser. Google voice is good for voicemail. The savage-zen kernel is great with battery. HDMwIn worked out of the box!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <<<<A big plus for me :) I can say that I am very happy as of right now. Now I have my Myns backup and my CM backup.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomMelee:
I'm sure it's been asked before but I didn't see answers in captivate forums...

There are a few paid apps I want to pick up, but I change roms all the time. I'm assuming paid roms will reinstall fine via Titanium just like anything else, but I want to make sure before I pay for them.

I've paid for Rom Manager in the past, and I'm pretty sure it's regged on IMEI or something, so it always makes itself full version---are other apps the same?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
I started to useTripMIUI from a couple days ago and it seems to have more than decent battery life.

I have had the phone unplugged for 10 hours now, a couple of short calls, 3G enabled with data background enabled for 3 or 4 hours, some 45 min to 1 hour of web surfing with direct sunlight (high screen brightness needed), and then some wifi when I found a wifi spot and still 73% of juice remaining from fully charged.

And yesterday I chatted with the girl on google talkgadget (I don't really like the talk software that comes with Android) and every % of the battery lasted some good 6 to 7 min of chatting with screen brightness set to the lowest and internet over wifi.

That compared to Wolfbreak's ROM 3 min per % with the same settings, same talkgadget, same screen brightness (and same girl).

I'm really looking forward to test it a bit more, since I had some bug this morning, I left the phone wallcharging overnight and although the battery stats showed that at some point of the night it was fully charged, when I woke up it was at 92% of charge and draining, I had to unplug and replug to fully charge again.

And the day before something like that happened also, I charged the phone and it had an awesome idle battery life. I started using it and the battery life remained awesome, I left it with 80-85% of juice before going to sleep and when I woke up, the phone was dead, and battery stats didn't show which app drained the battery, just showed how the battery % dropped like a stone during night.

Needs more testing on my side, but looking promising enough to keep it as my main ROM. Though there are some things which I don't like, but not battery related.

Oh, and this being with stock kernel. Custom kernel drains battery, for me at least.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister J:

I'll have to go with my own mixed ROM... It is a mix of Zdizihu's FreeX10 beta 4 + Arc Launcher + Circle Battery Indicator in Notifications bar + Cyanogen Settings.... It has no tweaks at all and i can tell you it is really fast, stable and the battery last a lot...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
Last time I checked (three days ago), custom kernel drains battery life at a fast pace, I think i needs more development, as of now, you better stick to the stock kernel if you really need the battery life.

I'll be trying Wolf's latest release to see if there is any improvement on battery life (which was good enough on previous releases). As today I really needed fast 3G and GPS, and 3G is snail paced on baseband .52 on my network. And GPS failed to locate me. Really disappointed on MIUI on those departments, otherwise great ROM. Great batery life and great tweaks to make it very snappy even on stock kernel.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eisel89:
miui by tripn with stock kernel goes with the best batterylife for me 2. and no problems with gps and 3G so far. everything works for me the best in that rom, even the camcoder works realy great.

which rom or Firmware were you running out of interest?

It sounds like your battery is totally flat and can not be charged. I'm experiencing exactly this problem right now with a WolfBreak CM6 v5 - Froyo 2.2 - can not get any charge into the battery..

EDIT: This is a really bad issue with some of open source Froyo firmwares - any of these MUST NOT run under a certain amount of power, you can never fully discharge them or they render the phone useless.

The only way I can see of getting it back, is to put it into another X10, give it about ten minutes of charge or just get enough charge into it, then let it start up and detect the charger.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S0ci0:
Must be an error on your side. I'm also running wolfbreaks rom and my battery has drained completely many times (unfortunately) and I was always able to charge it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrHassell:
It isn't just an error my side.

I've heard of the same problem occurring, with all ROM's based on the Beta 4 from zdzihu, modified by TriPNavER and Wolfbreak thereafter, also rendeiro2005 and other Froyo 2.2 roms for the X10 all stem from the original zdzihu firmware, which has the original 'feature' or - issue.

To be clear, devices with xRecovery have the issue. Reason is to gain access to recovery with X10 - by hijacking the chargemon file (/system/bin/chargemon) with the one that SE used and this file being /system/bin/chargmon, within the file there is a modification, which sets up offline charging - with the following file - system/bin/charger

I've been looking at the Wolfbreak rom for this issue and that 99% of all default ROM's from this stable have permanent RW (read/write) mount points. You can get at your mount state just by typing - adb shell mount - or just 'mount' - into a terminal window. If they are all RW, it's not the end of the world! You can easily set them back to being RO.

You will notice in the newer versions of "chargemon" - there is a little piece of logic like this;

if

/system/bin/charger

fi

Which is to handle what SE dev's have done and what XDA dev's have and prioritize off line charging. Problem being that as the OP of the thread were in, has the same problem as I just encountered, with possibly the exception that I wanted to see what would happen.. I am also looking for the solution.

The replacement battery is an option but it's easier to get another X10 (without a troubled ROM) and put the battery in for a few minutes to get enough charge, so when the phone boots up, the charger can be quickly sorted out and charging can resume as normal.
