depends on your rom, your kernel, your phone, adn your luck. also make sure to calibrate your battery when going between aosp and sense or you could get bad results.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I can get 1day 9hrs on CM7...but different phones, different battery life. From what I've generally seen, slightly better battery life on AOSP roms.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solicitous:
I will calibrate and everything is too subjective to give an objective reading when it comes to these kinds of things. Thanks for the help guys
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
Well said. Calibrate and test it yourself. As for AOSP, while I do like some of the things in Sense, I absolutely swear on CM7 + Launcher Pro. It has been stable, fast, and very reliable for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solicitous:
Interesting combination
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowboarda42:
Just like everyone else has said too, once you get used to CM7 you'll wonder why you didn't switch sooner.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazelfoot:
I hated the feel of CM7 after a while.

Try MIUI if you're willing.

Using it with tiamat 4.0.2. Phone been on for 11 hours and 59% battery left. Light-moderate usage.

Also doesn't have that flimsy feel stock android does. Sort of has a robust iphone/sense-ish type feel that I love.

I saw a lot of information about it and I'm actually considering it now. However, I want it to look official. What is the most official looking theme?

Hello evrybody,

Let me explain you the problem

Current configuration: HTC Desire (Bravo) PVT1 (ship s-on)

Baseband/Radio 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17

Rooted with unrEVOked v3

ROM LeeDroid v2.4.1

HBOOT v0.80.0000

I tryed to s-off my phone with AlphaRev v1.8 using VirtualBox v4.0.6 (with usb 2.0 support add-on installed) under Windows 7 Pro x86 with SP1.

For some (unknown to me) reasons it didn't worked for me....

Current situation:

- Impossible to boot the OS - blank htc screen

- In Bootloader menu ("Power"+"Volume down") when trying to enter Clockwork Recovery Mod sometimes phone rebooting 4 times and sometimes it make 7 fast vibrations but anyways dropes me to blank htc screen...

- While I'm in Bootloader and connected through USB to PC, I can see that in Device Manager - Android Phone - Bootloader Interface detected (drivers OK)

Please help me..... :(
[Desire General] godutch:
Did you ask on the alpha rev irc channel?
[Desire General] Deleted member 3370907:
Since your phone is still able to start the bootloader, you should be able to get it back up running using fastboot.

Step1: Download some stuff.

- An image of your favorite recovery tool. I'm using clockworkmod recovery.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1039954&highlight=clockworkmod

You want the .img file.

- The Android SDK. Use Google =)

Step2:

Start the SDK Manager and download the SDK Tools and SDK Platform Tools. You now should have a "fastboot.exe" in the "tools"-folder.

Step3:

Connect your phone via usb, boot up the bootloader, and enter fastboot mode.

Step4:

Open a command line window using shift+right click in the folder where fastboot is. Launch "fastboot.exe devices". This should list your device. If not, Download the USB Driver Package using the SDK Manager and install the fastboot drivers. Windows might start whining about not being able to find the driver, but its definitely there. If fastboot.exe fails to start, you might need to copy it to the platform-tools folder and/or run cmd.exe using administrator privileges.

Step5:

Copy your recovery image to where fastboot.exe is and execute "fastboot.exe flash recovery <yourrecoveryimage>"

Further Steps:

You should now be able to boot into recovery and install roms.

You can also try to flash hboot using fastboot. If this fails, you got a handy $400 mirror to put in your pocket. You've been warned :P

Download a suitable image from alpharev (i think you want to go with the stock s-off hboot - that one with 250MB system) and flash it using "fastboot.exe flash hboot <hbootimage>" like described above.

Hope that helps.
[Desire General] bankaihollow:
Thank you for you advice!

Yes, they provided me a huge support and despite my desperate case I will probably solve my problem very soon ----> GOLDCARD

I tryed to get back to original stock rom with a zip file but failed because didn't found my rom zip on google (ver.1.22.73.1)
[Desire General] daddyspud:
when tryin to s-off use cyanogenmod 7 rom to s-off thats wat i was told and worked a charm
[Desire General] bankaihollow:
Thank you for this solution it could resolve my problem but I can't push .img files to my phone through fastboot because my device still S-ON...
[Desire General] bankaihollow:
Ok. So I will try install cyanogen after rooting my phone. And then try s-off.

Thank you

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjb433:
Hey there XDA, I'm selling a friends incredible for him on eBay and have a quick question. He did a factory reset so the phone needs to be set up again, if I hit "activate" on the initial set up when the only options are activate or emergency call, will it attempt to find a Verizon plan or.will it simply register on the network and say it has no service?

I want to be able to take shots of the rom so nobody thinks its broken, but can I go past activate and just use the phone on a wifi connection? Without cell service, of course.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
I don't know if it works on the incredible but on the d2 you can tap each corner of the screen, starting with the upper left, to bypass the activation screen.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjb433:
I ended up finding the solution. Taping on the screen corners did not work, but after hitting activate, letting the call connect, and rebooting 3 times it went past the activation screen and let me use the phone, I also toggled the mobile network selection in the power menu but I'm not sure that mattered
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Yeah I thought it might be just a moto thing. Glad you got it working.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildstang83:
Just for reference, the corner taps worked for the HTC Droid Eris also.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trickster2369:
Works on the DINC also.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PearlMikeJam:
I am considering the DInc2, but really enjoy having root on my OG Droid (which is failing me). I can wait for permanent root, but was curious if temp root allows me to make the local.prop tweaks for home screen redraws, push ringtones into system, etc.? I realize I will not be able to use wifi tether for root or flash any ROMs yet, but those tweaks would be nice.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
you can delete bloat, so I assume with root explorer u should be able to push sounds, i dont see why not. can anyone confirm this?

also, what is a home screen re-draw?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bik2101:
not sure about the homescreen redraw because i have no idea what that is. but you don't need root to push ringtones into the system. just make a folder in your media>audio folder on your sd card. if ringtones, throw the files into the ringtones folder and if notifs then make a folder called notifications and throw them in there.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PearlMikeJam:
A home screen redraw happens when the launcher and all its Widgets are consumjng too much memory. Coming from and OG Droid, this happened often with the limited memory on the Droid. When you return to your home screen a lag occurs as the phone redraws all the Widgets and icons on the screen instead of the screen just appearing.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PearlMikeJam:
Thanks clown. Was not sure the correct place and did not want to double post.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PearlMikeJam:
I have my tones on the SD now, but I do not like the lag that a 32gb card can have.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bik2101:
what lag? i've been using notifs this way and seen or heard no lag.
[General Questions and Answers] awdogsgo2heaven:
I have simply honey 3.3 and my sound from my main phone speaker (the one you listen to normal calls, not the loud speaker on the back) doesnt work any more. I can't hear calls unless I turn on the loud speaker, or anything else. I've messed with the volume with no luck. I'm relatively new to flashing, and what not, so I'm not sure what the problem could be. I'm using T959 Vibrant Samsung Galaxy. I can't find anyone else with my problem.

I'm not sure if anyone can get me a perfect answer, but does anyone at least have a thought of what I should do? should I try re-flashing again?

Oh and if there is a better place to post this please let me know!
[Droid Incredible General] al2x:
Am I the only person in the world who absolutely hates ADW launcher and thinks that it is absolutely ugly? I'm an avid CM user/updater and I've grown accustomed to their stock-gingerbread with a few tweaks system. I absolutely love the rom.

One thing I cannot stand though is ADW. First of all the launcher is hideous, dragging and dropping icons on the home screen pop up this ugly non-stock looking scroll bar, everything looks samsung-ish oversized for the screen, everything is just gross from an aesthetic standpoint.

Am I the only one who feels like this? lol. Every clean-CM install I go through usually has me re-downloading TI Backup Pro and Root Explorer and completely wiping all of the bloat (ADW, skin chooser, file explorer, etc) and restoring the standard ANDROID bootup.

Anyways, just a "just wondering" comment, love CM to death, thanks to all the devs and their hardwork!
[Droid Incredible General] al2x:
Should've added in - i replace ADW with LauncherPro, the smoothest android launcher on the market, and customize it to look exactly like stock GB (3D drawer, dock & icons, etc).
[Droid Incredible General] emkorial:
I often wonder why ROM devs always insist on including thier own bloatware in thier ROMS.
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
Agreed!

The first time I used CM7 I absolutely hated it because of ADW, so I ended up using another ROM. I later revisited CM7 and used LauncherPro and it turned from rubbish to fantastic.

With all the different settings on transition speeds, effects and the pure buttery smooth screen transitions you can't go wrong with it. I'm using it now on a Sense ROM.
[Droid Incredible General] Smokeey:
Agreed. Launcher Pro is far superior.
[Droid Incredible General] mmuzzy:
I've run ADW, LPP, and Go. I prefer Go because of how well it supports folders in the app tray. The folder preview pane is very slick too. LPP's nice widgets considered, and even though I've purchased plus, I still prefer Go.
[Droid Incredible General] raptir:
I love ADW, but you really do have to tweak the settings to get it to run smoothly. Changing the times on screen transitions can make it run quicker then LP.
[Droid Incredible General] Keyboards:
Quicker, maybe. Smoother, not a chance. LPP FTW
[Droid Incredible General] k_nivesout:
I don't know, I haven't tweaked those settings and my ADW EX runs extremely smoothly and without lag. Seems like some people have issues with it though. I just think ADW looks better too.
[Droid Incredible General] al2x:
Agreed.

I know ADW has some sort of open-source licensing where they want Rom dev's to include it as the launcher, but why doesn't Carnales, the dev of LauncherPro license his out or something? I bet 1 in 10 people who try out Cyanogen back away from it just because ADW, not knowing that LauncherPro and GoLauncher are still out there.
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
If you're going with Go Launcher just because of the App Tray, you might want to download the app "all apps organizer".

I use it with Launcher Pro so that I can better find the apps that I'm looking for instead of the jumbled assortment of apps.

ADW is still much smoother than Sense and pretty much any other stock launcher, but the bounce that I get from it is just icky, and a few other things about it just bugged the hell outta me.

Some people like it, obvious it's just a preference- so no need to criticize those who like it :p
[Droid Incredible General] Nowak4G:
I was using LPP for a while and switched to GO. Its fast and smooth running chads 2.6.38.6 beta
[Droid Incredible General] N-Forced:
ADW	was the reason I got turned off cyanogen mod when I very first used it, not only was it ugly as sin it also lagged like a mofo. Since I put launcher pro on I haven't ran anything since cyanogen mod and don't plan to for awhile. Hell even the stock launcher blows ADW out if the water.
[Droid Incredible General] mamarley:
I, too use LP with CM7. For me, all the other launchers I have tried (ADW, Zeam, GoLauncher) run at 30fps while LP runs at 60fps. Make quite a difference in perceived input lag.
[Droid Incredible General] supersobbie:
I like ADW. I have it set the way I like it and I think it runs very smooth. but I only have 3 pages and I hide the status bar and dock bar. When I last tried LP I could not find those options, so I have stuck with ADW. I like clean and minimal and LP, I dont think, had the features that I wanted.

But every person has a different experience and a different personal preference. In one respect I agree and think that ROMs should be delivered clean with no bias to apps, but on the other hand I love that it is already there and set up for me :). To be honest I am using CM7 because I didnt like some of the apps included in the stock. so if you dont like what is included then try a different ROM.

Thanks CM team for all your hard work and I appreciate the GREAT ROM that you have provided us.

SoBBie
[Droid Incredible General] neslerrah:
Interesting, thanks for sharing that info. I use LPP with CM7 too.
[Droid Incredible General] k_nivesout:
Where are people getting these figures, i.e laucherpro runs a 60fps while adw runs at 30fps?
[Droid Incredible General] Div033:
Quite honestly I don't think there is any way to properly benchmark how smooth each launcher runs. However, many of them (ADW included) have a noticeable fps cap if your eye is trained to notice these differences. LP doesn't seem to have this limitation but I don't believe it is running at 60 fps. I'd wager more like 45-50 which is still very high and smooth.

I reserve the right to be wrong about this :P

[Droid Incredible General] kaze06:
It's all personal preference. I prefer LauncherPro and always have for fluidness and the ability to smoothly transfer between things at all time. ADW is nice too and I enjoyed using it when I did. They both have their pro's and con's and simply outright saying one is pointless to use and sucks is a little presumptuous and borderline rude. Just like LauncherPro, ADW too has a developer(s) that puts hard work and time into their app, and they have something to show for it. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's a bad launcher...it just isn't for you.

A Launcher is hardly bloatware and is a somewhat necessary part of function for your device. Not to mention that bloatware is really only bloatware on the Android platform if you can't uninstall it or have to go through hell and high water to do so.
[Droid Incredible General] M1d:
I prefer launcher2 and so that killed the deal for me with a lot of custom ROMs.
[Droid Incredible General] brando56894:
Myself I love ADW (EX), I've been using it for awhile. Mostly I love the dock bar and the ability to hide the status bar. I've used LP, Regina, Sense and a few others but I always come back to ADW EX.

I think thats because ADW EX is a complete re-write compared to ADW.
[Droid Incredible General] thumper26:
This. I saw where someone mentioned hiding the dock and just using gestures, and I tried it thinking I would hate it, but quickly liked it. I leave my status bar, but hide my notification bar. I tried LauncherPro since it's generally preferred, but I couldn't find where to hide the dock, so I stuck with ADW. I've not seen any lag or glitches on it that people have talked about, and have run it on SR3.5, CM7RC4 and full, and now on SR4.0.

If LauncherPro enables hide dock, I'd definitely give it another run.
[Droid Incredible General] Ricbon:
im rocking LLP+, not a big fan of ADW. I tried go launcer i liked it alot, loved the folder look on how you can see the icons in the folder but i missed my 3d app drawer so i went back to LLP. now i found a great folder app that gives me the golauncher look called FOLDER ORGANIZER.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loribuono:
I used Autonooter 3.0 and have been pretty happy. Home Switcher was working fine, until a couple of weeks ago. I only use it to switch to the stock launcher, so I can choose a new wallpaper and have it sized correctly. But when I start it now, the Home Switcher screen flashes for a second, and then it closes. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. No luck.

Any ideas?

[HTC Inspire 4G] Mil'Dravin:
First, new to the forum, but have found plenty of great info/topics here to keep me entertained while playing with my Inspire, so hallo everyone!

Second, to the topic of my question::

I have been looking for a sturdy car kit for my phone. I like the model here:

smartphonepedia.com/windshield-charging-car-mount-cradle.html

But they have been out of stock since the release of the Inspire, and they will not respond to my inquiry's about it. I really like the 'slide in' type that the dock provides, instead of the quick-clamp that you see almost everywhere.

What have you folks found out on the internet?
[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
I wondered the same thing. I ended up buying an otter box defender for $35 shipped kthx amazon and saw a thread about the slipgrip. They're 30 on ebay. I bought late on a sunday, shipped monday morning, and it got to AR from MD via snail mail on wednesday. It is incredible. I got the vent mount bc my setcpu profile started yelling at me bc it was baking in my really crappy walmart mount that i screwed into the dash with anchors. I thought the vent mount with this device in it might break by 20 year old honda vent but its holding up fine. I do need to get some kind if antiglare going on because the perfect angle there is a glare monster. It was definitely worth $30. Google desire hd slipgrip and click the ebay link. To see what im talking about. It didnt come with instructions but if one cant figure it out then one probably shouldnt be on xda.

Edit; they make iphone version as well so if they can do it...

I would love that, but I have no CD-player....have been looking for perhaps a tape-deck mount. That would fit perfectly where i'm looking....

You could use the bike mount, but think about your airbag....do you want a phone forcefully implanted into your cranium if you wreak? Airbags deploy at even moderate impacts such as a hard finder-bender....
