(Sigh) I will quote myself (again)

Because I was having SOD errors and it was worth a try seeing CWM2.5 DOES NOT HAVE that option.....

If I NEED to flash another ROM and its not CWM3 supported I will just Odin Flash CWM 2.5.x back on...

Seriously, what part of this are you

NOT GETTING??

Re read the first post in this thread ok?? I missed some stuff and he underlined and bolded it in red.. does he need to do that for you too??

:confused:
[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
You really need to get your head out of your ass and quit assuming that I'm "not getting" what you're talking about. I understand everything you're saying perfectly well, I'm merely pointing out the fact it is pretty pointless. And so far, you haven't said flashing CWM3 has done anything for you. My point exactly.

Either way, this bickering is stupid and is a distraction from dfgas' ROM. End of discussion.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
There are some benefits to using CWM3, as far as kernel backup and restoration and some other small tweaks and fixes - but CWM 2.5.x works with edify and ammend scripting - but as stated most of us haven't started using edify scripts in the flashable zips we've been putting out. This is mainly because we had issues converting our old ones to edify, but progress has been made and the new H57 releases and theme's have been coming out as edify scripts.

I think the confusion is that people don't realize that 2.5.x will work with these new scripts - it's just the flash packages we already have out that need to be updated to work with CWM3 which will only flash zips with an edify script - which is just a PITA. So it will be a more of a going forward type of thing - and people can then upgrade without issues.

As suggested at this very moment I'd suggest sticking with CWM 2.5.x - otherwise you better learn where these scripts go and get copies of edify scripts from a good source so that you can use any .zip's you've been using with 2.5.x - because they won't work (some old flash.zips actually already had edify scripts in them - miui is one of them).
[Samsung Mesmerize] BakedTator:
the only issues we are having with edify is on the ROM side of things...the amend to edify thing that dfgas posted in the general forums works only for themes...it breaks the ROMs and they dont flash right and can corrupt the file system, and the only way to get back to CWM 2.5 is by using odin to flash back to stock and go from there...as far as i know anyways...after we get edify working on ROMs, everyone will be informed and then we can upgrade without any issues

[T-Mobile LG G2x] c19932:
Hello everyone, this is the first phone that I am using with data (yup, i've been using smartphones without a data plan). so I was wondering what "power control" widgets or shortcuts out there that could switch between 2G and 4G with just 1 click. The reason I wanna do this is that 2G saves battery while I'm not using the phone.

If I am not wrong, most of the power control widgets only "take" you to the setting page and you have to manually check the "use 2G only" box. But then I've also heard of some power control widgets do APN renaming of some sort.. no idea how that works.

in short: Please suggest a widget program that could switch between 2G/"4G" with just 1 click AND that program doesnt drain battery

thank you
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I like Switch Pro. Not only does it have this switch but it has about 12 others all in one widget. You can also customize it color wise.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] VegasWill:
2G 3G OnOff by CurveFish toggles between 2G and 4G on my phone with the widget (no sending to setup screen). Don't be fooled by the name though, mine goes from 2 - 4 and back.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] VegasWill:
Whoops! Sorry, it does send you to the setup screen. I was thinking of another app I have that shuts the network off without going to the setup screen.

Sorry for the confusion!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gohawks1:
I use SuperPower with Sidekick installed. Works great to switch with one button press, or automatically after a certain amount of idle time and/or battery level, etc ... Great power management app in general.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] c19932:
I thought switchpro widget only takes you to the settings? can you confirm that it does indeed switch 2g/3g with 1 click?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I use it all the time. Just one click. It also has just one click to turn data completely off. I think switch pro is the best option because you can get 8 widgets in one row.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] spencersir2:
Hmmm..

I believe that Elixir has that and there widget takes literally no power, and it can display everything including the 3g/2g switch.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mumbojumbo01:
Which widget in Elixir does this? I can not seem to find that widget in the app i downloaded from the market?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] spencersir2:
Just downloaded it and looked again i guess i thought the internet on/off switch was the 4g/2g sorry
[T-Mobile LG G2x] c19932:
thanks for the suggestion, but I asked for switching between 2g/4g, not turning data off
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
Widetsoid/zoid
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Zspy1985:
4g switch on the app isnt either working or its grayed out. Not sure if its cause im using leaked GB or not but its the same for my Power Control widgets.

Still looking for the 2g/4g toggle widget and have yet to find it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RangerJay:
Switch Network Type 2G/3G from SoftXPerience.

It stays invisibly in the notifications drop-down screen and takes me to the settings page in a single click.

It's a simple, instant shortcut I've found more accessible than a widget.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gohawks1:
SuperPower, requires root and a patch but it will automatically swap between 2G/4G (listed as 3G in the app). You set conditions for the switch, or if you want to do it manually you can do it from the notification bar or with a shortcut on your desktop. So far it's the only app I've found that doesn't just take you to the settings screen.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Erislover:
try toggle data. It's a simple one-click widget. Works perfectly on the g2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 141park:
Hi Erislover:

How exactly do you set up the APN's to make sure MMS works. Can you by any change provide step by step instructions?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Erislover:
Honestly, I'm not 100% sure on that. You could always just check the box to keep it enabled, hit the toggle so data is off, and then have a friend send you an MMS to see what happens. If it works, try to access a webpage to make sure data truly is off. If you can get the MMS and the web isn't working (and 4g isn't showing), you should be saving juice while still getting MMS's.

I'm super ignorant when it comes to APN's...not messing with the nightlies for just that reason!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newt:
did you do a full wipe b4 restoring?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] under999:
yes i did. The restore doesnt seem like it take as long though. I backed up through rom manager. Would that have something to do with this issue
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xirftwx:
Try downgrading CWM to an earlier version such as 3.0.0.5 and then reupgrading to 3.0.0.8, I had an issue with CWM before and this fixed it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] under999:
i will try that
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newt:
ive never made a back up with rom manager but it could be your problem.....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dhessler5:
ROM manager could be your problem, it is known for unsuccessfully completely backing up or restoring ROMs. IF you are trying to use ROM manager to restore your backup try going into recovery and doing it manually. Perform a full wipe and wipe Cache and Dalvik. The go to back up and restore > restore > and find the .zip on your SD card.

If that doesn't work than try downgrading CWM and retry the restore.

If it still doesn't work it is likely ROM manager didn't successfully back it up and you will have to reflash WarmZ, at this point I would flash the newest version possible since you will be starting fresh.

And next time to remember to back up in recovery, that way you can watch it as it backs it up and watch for errors.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DustoMan:
So whenever this official HTC Gigerbread update comes out, I'd like to try it. I made a full Titanium Backup and a full back up with CWM (with no errors) before first installing CM7. Can I just use that backup to go back to the stock ROM and then update to Gingerbread? And how can I tell if I have S On or Off? I think I turned it back on after running UnRevoked Forever, but it wasn't really that clear. I have the ability to grant SU access, that my understanding was that SU is different from S On or Off.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
If your backup is the stock rom with all the bloatware then you should be able to restore it and get the update. I've heard it said that the phone also needs to be S-ON but I'm not sure, I do know you need all the bloatware though. To check S-OFF, boot into bootloader (power and volume down) and look near the top of the screen when you get to the white hboot menu, it will say S-ON or S-OFF.

Anyone know an encoder that will easily let me encode videos for the transformers specs? Or Xoom of course since they're basically the same.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buri73:
I've heard good things about HandBrake. I think someone at Xoom Forum has a profile built for Xoom, should work for TF as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] human_error:
I've been using the dvd catalyst xoom presets for my encoding. One thing to be mindful of is that the xoom's lower quality screen may mean some shortcuts are taken when re-encoding which could lose colour quality which although not visible on the xoom could be visible on the transformer (I can't complain at what I see from the HQ xoom oreset though).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neoprimal:
I haven't transcoded from DVD in forever. Back then I relied primarily on Nero and WinAvi for most of my needs, but Handbrake was an excellent and free solution. Winavi is great if you don't mind the added step of converting it to a format the TF can handle. Freemake is a great converter for already encoded stuff.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMXO:
+1 for DVD Catalyst. I believe DVDCatalyst is his username here & they answer all emails very quickly too.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knoxploration:
I'm a fan of DVDFab. (Despite the name, it not only rips your own personal DVDs, but also does video format conversion, as well as Blu-Ray ripping.)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
testing different handbrake settings atm since I really dont want to pay for a video encoder when I just put down half a grand for transformer and dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMXO:
It's currently $9.95 & well worth it but I understand. I prefer it over HB, TBH. There is a free DVD Catalyst version but not sure how its compared to the paid version.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreadnought001:
Read on some other forum where some Asus guy was recommending FreeMake, found here: http://www.freemake.com/

Apparently you should use the Apple TV 720p settings for the best results.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob1971:
It should be pointed out that freemake and dvdcatalyst are for Windows, and handbrake is for macs. I have both types of machine, but tend to use the mac for dloading.

I tried to convert a high profile copy of the Godfather 2 last night on Handbrake. It worked fine, but wouldn't convert when the srt sub file was included for some reason, so I had to watch on the Asus with airvideo running simultaneously on my iPhone for scenes in italian! :D

I may try Miro video and see how that goes.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albaholic:
Handbrake is available for Windows (as well as several other OS's)

http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php

Handbrake works fine and is a great free solution. While I don't have a transformer yet, I use handbrake all the time to convert videos for my Evo and Nook Color.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fifo209:
I've been using handbrake on Win7 x64 for a while now encoding for Xoom.

I played with diff setting to try and get the best quality for the smallest file size.

Overall I'd say -

1. Output file is always lower Qty, then preEncode file no matter what!!

2. Best results I got using H264 baseline profile with an input file rez matched for the Xoom screen (1280x720 or 1280x800).

3. A quick way to get a seasonable output file is to set handbrake setting to output a file size instead of FR. I use 700MB or 800MB for files I do not rip myself.

Cheers,

fifo

So I created my own PB31IMG.zip correctly and verified the file name, and when I went into hboot, after copying to root of sdcard, and it could not find the image. Do the stock 2 gig sdcards not come fat32 formatted?

Thanks, xirftwx.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I don't think so, they are probably FAT. As you probably know by now, for hboot to recognize images, it needs to be FAT32.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xirftwx:
Yeah I've deduced that my problem is most likely the formatting of the filesystem. In XP it tells me it is a "RAW" filesystem. I am currently using winrar to archive my whole sdcard, I am on skyraider 4.0. If I unrar the archive back onto the sdcard when I am finished reformatting, will I run into any issues?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Probably not, but I would just restore what you need. Android leaves a lot of crap from other apps behind. And sometimes the cache can get rather large as well.
