[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTronPrime:
If you have tried the ultimate wipe (ODIN, Re-root) and flashed a freshly downloaded ROM and kernel and tried a different app.. I find it hard to believe its anything but hardware. Another thing you can try is using a different battery. It sounds definately electrical related.

Best of luck!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EShow:
Hello. I am fairly new to the Android root/ROM universe, and have a few questions.

I recently flashed the most recent version of CM7, and after spending a few hours with it, immediately reverted back to the stock UI.

I'm going to list a few reasons I disliked it, and maybe you can tell me if I'm just doing something wrong.

-- Only five screens? I have my apps stored perfectly in the seven screens given to me in stock, and hated the limitations of only five.

-- The entire look of the UI feels outdated. Comparing just the top bar with battery level and clock and such, CM7/Gingerbread's version looks like they've stepped back a few years in design.

-- I lost my Sense widgets. I know this is a matter of preference, but is there any way I can flash them with CM7?

-- Whenever I push the power button to unlock the phone, there is a delay in the screen turning on. With the stock, the screen turns on almost instantly.

-- I can't sync my contacts for some reason. Maybe I'm just an idiot though, I don't know.

While I very much dislike these things, I'm open to what you have to say. Maybe there's something about it I'm missing?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renzo.olivares:
I think you should switch back to sense because the widgets you have to get replacements for in the market and the delay has to do with the kernel. syncing contacts is done with the facebook app from the market or other apps. The look, you could install launcher pro and get 7 screens. I personally like sense because it feels better.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zerox8610:
With CM7 you can customize pretty much the ENTIRE ROM.

It's really cool if you're willing to put some time into it to get it the way you like.

With the 5 screen thing.... You can download a different launcher and change that no problem. I recommend ADW EX or Launcher Pro.

But if you want something basically already perfect with little or no work needed on it.... Try out Skyraider 4.0
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
A big reason a lot of people like CM7 is that it's Gingerbread aka, android 2.3.3

Any Sense ROM will be 2.2 at the latest.

The default launcher CM7 comes with is ADW. You can change it to Launcher Pro (downloadable from the market), honestly when I first flashed CM7 I reverted back to a sense ROM just because I didn't like the ADW launcher and didn't know you could change it out.

You will lose your sense widgets but if you look, there are comparable widgets you can get that are very close to the Sense widgets. Also if you buy Launcher Pro Plus, they provide a bunch of cloned Sense widgets.

The delay in the screen I can't comment for, mine seems instant. I don't have that animation though, that thing has always bugged me. You may want to try a different kernel (chad's incredikernel is excellent) to increase battery life and performance.

There are also theme's for CM7 so you can actually change the way the top bar looks, I prefer how it looks and haven't seen any older style phones with that type of look but everyone has their preference.

And another side point, gingerbread has a few security fixes that Froyo is open to. There's been a few apps exploiting this in dangerous ways, so gingerbread is a smart choice if you're worried about that.

+ ADW and Launcher pro, there are settings where you can add more or less screens.

If you like Sense then you should definitely stick with it, just don't be shy to try out new ROM's.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degenxsn:
On your home screen hit menu then edit. You can add home screens for a total of 7.

Search the market for cm7 themes and you can change the look to something different.

You can't get the actual sense widgets but like has been said you can get close with apps in the market.

Syncmypix in the market lets you sync your contacts to facebook friend photos.

If you still don't like it I would you with skyraider 4.0
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Number of home screens is easily changed, I like to keep it simple and go with 3. Contacts should be synced with Google, all mine came back after signing in to my Google account. Sense Widgets can be emulated with launcher pro, for the stock clock/weather widget use fancy widget pro with HTC skin. Screen wake issues are kernel related, you can swap different kernels to see which works best with your phone. CM7 has the most themes out of any rom so its not hard to find something to fit your taste although I personally like the way gingerbread looks stock, to me anything below android 2.3 looks outdated.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breathtakingevil:
CM7 comes default with ADW... you can change it up to 7.

The reason the UI feels outdated is because your used to Sense, it's one of the selling points for HTC, and why a lot of people buy there devices. It's one of the reasons I bought the Incredible(originally..)

Your right, the sense widgets are gorgeous... but you can definitely find ways to make your homescreens on CM7 gorgeous too.

You can change your screen transition settings with the Spare Parts app... and flash a custom kernel that takes care of that.

You need to enable sync under Accounts and Sync under your settings... make sure you have contacts clicked... and make sure you have the facebook app... a lot of contacts are synced from there as well.

Sense is an overlay from HTC in which consumes more resources on your phone, and contains way more bloat. CM7 is a ROM in which has the most basic of apps pre installed in it, with tweaks you can do to your UI. Pretty much what you would refer to as Vanilla android.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael2572:
I think the philosophy behind CM is that it's for customizers. You have to be willing to spend hours going through option screens, and downloading mods and themes to see what you like. If that's not you, CM7 is NOT for you. I cannot stress this enough. I've talked to too many people about rooting/switching ROMs, and they don't get it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PGleo86:

Hope I did a decent job explaining some things.

If you need help, you can always PM me and I'll usually get back to you within a couple days
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scook9:
That GO Weather widget is awesome, really the only thing I missed from stock sense rom :D

I like CM7 because it offers better performance, battery life, features, customizations, updates,.....the list could go on. I just like it. I also updated the baseband radio on my Dinc as well as updated the kernel from the CM7 kernel to the latest incredikernel. This has been an awesome combination for me so far.
[Galaxy Tab General] carlsbad0331:
Today I moved my car stereo lower in the dash and mounted my Samsung Tab car-dock in the original stereo location.

Took me all of about an hour, cost me $10 (in addition to the dock I already had). I am fairly pleased with it.

I was glad to find that I did not have to extend any of the wires going to the original car stereo. They were plenty long enough to put the stereo down in where the little pocket used to be. All I had to do was cut the back of the plastic pocket out, and use the stock bolts to bolt through the plastic in to the body of the stereo. Part one done...

Then I used a piece of 2 inch wide steel bent in to form as a bracket for the Samsung dock. I mounted the new bracket to the original stock stereo mounting bolts. Then I cut a piece of black plastic to entirely close off the double din opening. This was hot glued and epoxied in to place from the rear so it is nice and clean. Part two done.

I then had to cut the last portion of the Samsung Tab mounting arm off. All I needed was the small portion where the dock actually bolts to it. This allowed me to still use the swivel to get the right mounting angle. The ONLY issue I had was that I wanted to mount it close enough to the dash that I had to cut a notch in the stereo bezel to accommodate the power cord to the dock. Not a big issue, and from the driver side its not visible at all.

I then mounted the dock to the bracket through a small hole I cut in the piece of black plastic I had mounted.

Originally, the TAB was mounted via the dock on top of my dash. I like this position much better!!!

Here is the end product.
[Galaxy Tab General] carlsbad0331:
Sorry, I meant to post this in accessories. Can a mod move it for me?
[Galaxy Tab General] TunaCanyon:
Does the tab tie into your stereo over bluetooth or a line out? Or do you just use it for navigation?
[Galaxy Tab General] carlsbad0331:
Works perfectly via bluetooth. I was having some skipping issues, but they were cleared up with the last update of Car Dock. They now turn off wi-fi when in dock, which is what was causing the issues.
[Galaxy Tab General] StarLog:
Very nice setup. How does the navigation work on the SGT.? i.e. is there any delay or lag. are you on Edge when using the nav.?
[Galaxy Tab General] paulshields:
Google Navigation works as well on the SGT as any other phone - better in fact due to the higher resolution of the Tab. Just needs a reasonable 3G signal - which isn't hard to find. For me it's the best satnav software out there.
[Galaxy Tab General] carlsbad0331:
I live in Southern CA, so there is no issue with getting a signal. The Navigation works perfectly for me. A couple years ago I spent $2000 for an indash navigation, DVD player. What a waste that was... Its amazing how technology has changed in just a couple years.

I now have full Internet, navigation, phone and multi-media capabilities in my dash AND its removable!
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
Very nice work. The scarf is a nice touch too.

Do you have this connected to your radio or is it stand alone...

i want to do something similar but I want to use it as my stereo as well....

[Galaxy Tab General] lacion:
what app are you using there?
[Galaxy Tab General] carlsbad0331:
The Ap. is CarHome Ultra. Auto-launches when plugged in to the dock.
[Galaxy Tab General] Tom-th:
Thanks for sharing your DYI

Wow, it looks nice on your dashboard. I'll try to replicate this when the dock is available in my country (Thailand)
[Galaxy Tab General] galexandr:
which car dock is it?

Hey guys,

I'd like to know which car-dock are you all referring to?

Thanks!

You cant see the two pictures in the original post?

Are you asking for a different angle? I dont think I understand...
[Galaxy Tab General] StarLog:
That Cardock Ultra is great, thanks for sharing,
[Galaxy Tab General] bassdroid:
I have mine mounted in the dash and use it solely as my source unit for all music needs. With wireless tethering and Pandora, IHeartRadio and the music apps, there is no reason for a head unit. I gave up cd's years ago.

All i did was use a 3.5 jack to rca wire and ran a pre-amp eq to step up the input signal to 5 volts, The plus to this is with the pre-amp is there are two sets of inputs and it splits the input signal to the front, rear, and subs reallly well.

The only downside, if you call it that, is you will need to install amplifiers to power your speakers, but thats the avenue i was going anyways.
[Galaxy Tab General] mike2nl:
Question:

how many watts p/p output you have?

I mean how many little electrons are comming from your tab via the cable and will be super speeded in the booster :D?

It looks very nice mounted. I think, now i have some days off after a project i will build one in Lego.
[Atrix 4G General] cheetah2k:
I've been trying loads of things to try to make things speed up a bit more with my rooted Bell Atrix running the new Telstra FW, and the 4 things I've found that seem to improve the UI speed that do not require rooting, are as follows:

1. On a fresh reset, use the Atrix to format both internal and external SD cards. For some reason after doing this on a fresh reset, it seemed to speed up the "instant on" when the phone is asleep and you press the fingerprint scanner on/off button to wake the phone. Of course, remember to back up your external SD to your PC prior to doing this.

2. Setting the Wifi to be always on (never sleep when its on).

3. Don't use ATK task killer

4. Don't use SetCPU

Even with all my apps reloaded, and loads of use over the last few days, I found these things to cut the usual 3-5 second wake time to between 1-2 seconds, and for some reason the general UI speed was much better (even using Blur)

I'd be interested to hear any feedback on people who are thinking about starting fresh and resetting their Atrix, and trying the above to compare to what they had.
[Atrix 4G General] ChongoDroid:
I'm rocking the telstra with all the blur and bloat deleted not frozen. I deleted the browser because it doesn't let me download apps from the internet. I replaced it with dolphin browser. Deleted email and various other apps like car dock, etc. I underclock to 800 for screen off. I literally replaced every transition animation with an app from jrummy (root required) I use automemkiller to allow more memory for empty apps and honestly I have a lwp running and constant usage and I last 16 hours on a charge and use it constantly! Death to all lag.
[Atrix 4G General] ddust14:
I shall try
[Atrix 4G General] chromedome00:
My phone has never required more then a second to wake. I see nothing in the list that is even sleep related - and leaving wifi connected all the time is a battery drain.

Sorry, but i only see placebo effect.
[Atrix 4G General] sublimejosh2000:
If you are around Wifi more than not, it is best to keep this on "Never"... The Wifi uses way less battery than 3G/4G. Having your phone update using wifi will save battery for sure.
[Atrix 4G General] cheetah2k:
You must have one special Atrix :p. The only time mine wakes within 1 second, is within 10-20 seconds of the screen going blank. If its been sleeping for more than 1 minute, it takes at least 3 seconds to wake.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mudd_cat23:
Has anyone ran into the problem with having both of these installed on the phone. Ive been running just the webtop mod on the phone and love it. I recently wanted to see how the hdmi mod worked but quickly didnt like it cause it doesnt support landscape mode but when it is enabled it is going to be far much better then the webtop. But back to the question at hand is there any problems with having both of these on the phone has it disabled anyones webtop sessions on there phone or anything

would you please create a mix of clean apps and alphabetical order in a way both the tiles/backgrounds of the app icons are visible and the background of the app drawer is transparent?thanks in advance.unfortunately on the clean app version the background of the drawer is transparent but the tiles of the app icons too.on the other side the alphabetical order version contains visible tiles but the app drawer's background is transparent.
