[Captivate General] brobits:
Does the captivate even have quick enough i/o to support class 10? And either way, like mentioned before Android IS very efficient at managing memory, which shows in their design of activities (read: onResume(), onPause(), onCreate(), onDestroy()). If your foreground app requires more memory than the system can provide, lower activities on the stack will be told to pause or destroy until a later time to free up memory.

If your phone's performance is suffering, it's most likely a processing issue. Perhaps you have some nasty services running (this could also be reflected in poor battery life).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gary.h:
I have an ATT Captivate running the stock ATT Froyo upgrade. The phone has been rooted and SU and Busybox installed using Titanium Backup. The modified recovery file has been installed to allow 3e recovery to load unsigned files. CWM Rocovery 2.5.1.2 is installed and seems to be working.

I have several games and apps installed but nothing that would require root access except ROM Manager, Ti Backup and File Expert. The phone is running Launcher Pro. It is pretty much stock except for the changes listed above.

I performed two backups of the phone about a week apart and copied them to my computer and left them on the internal SD card as well. I made a couple of changes to the icons on my home screen so I could verify if a restore ran succesfully.

I ran the restore from the most recent backup. I expected the restore to fail right away, brick my phone or run successfully. The restore ran, indicating that files where being restored and at some point the phone rebooted.

When it came back up TwLauncher was running with the Blue Sea wallpaper as the background which I believe is the default. Most of my apps weren't on the home screens or in the app drawer. These included both the standard ATT and 3rd party apps.

I tried using my first backup with the same results. I was able to do a factory reset on the phone to get it back to its original state. I was then able to use Ti Backup to reinstall everything.

Is there something I am missing in the backup or restore process? It seems pretty fool proof. I checked threads and once people get past the 3e recovery issue it seems like it is pretty much problem free for people.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gary.h:
Could someone at least let me know if I need to do something other than Backup and Restore to get this to work? From the posts it seems like there are a lot of people using this successfully.

[Thunderbolt General] David 617:
I'm new to rooting and I want to root my tbolt. I am comfortable with the rooting process but I have a few questions.

1 Do I have to re-activate my phone after rooting? after installing a custom rom?

2 Do all roms have free tethering? specifically Das Bamf?

3 I'm planning to root this evening, any suggestions on the safest way?

thanks in advance
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
1. No. The phone will still be activated. You just have to sign-in to your Google account.

2. Technically, there is no free tethering anymore. All tethering apps have been removed from the Market by Verizon.

3. All of the available methods are safe. Just follow the directions step-by-step. If you run into problems then we're always here to help. :)
[Thunderbolt General] David 617:
what about tethering from the settings menu, (cyanogenmod has this)

also, can't i get the .apk from somewhere else.

what about wired tether?
[Thunderbolt General] cypherx82:
Here's the wireless tether .apk.

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
[Thunderbolt General] David 617:
wired tether?

one more thing abt roms,

do i just install rom manager and then choose a rom? its that simple?

i'm looking at das bamf (until cyanogenmod is stable) can i install it from rom manager?

also, should i wait until rom developers integrate verizon's latest update into their rom?
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
It's basically that simple. Just make sure that you flash ClockwordMod Recovery in ROM Manager. It's the second option down when you open up the app. You need to do that in order to flash any ROM to the phone. ALWAYS make a backup prior to flashing ANYTHING. It'll save you a lot of headaches if you run into problems. Das BAMF is available in ROM Manager. You can always download it from the links provided here, throw it on your SD card, boot into Recovery and manually flash it. Both ways are very simple. Also, make sure you wipe data/cache before flashing any ROM. For updates, it's not needed though.

The new update that's coming out is just a new radio. If it's the same as the leak we got, then don't update. People have had a lot of problems with it (mostly random reboots). Wait until the devs get ahold of it to see if it's any different. Personally, I wouldn't mess with the radio unless you run into any problems. The devs recommend that you run the newest radio with Das BAMF but it's only recommended, not required.
[Thunderbolt General] David 617:
does wired tether work on das bamf?
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
Honestly, I don't know. I don't have a laptop so I don't tether. I'd assume it works as long as you have an apk for a tethering app. I don't think it would be the smartest thing to do though since Verizon is cutting down on tethering. If you plan to use your phone as your ISP, please don't. Using up ****loads of bandwidth is the reason that unlimited data will ceast to exist or the price will increase.

Has anyone done a quantitative comparison of battery life with different kernels?

I think every kernel has his own good and bad parameters so the difference between kernels depends of what apps do u use and what do u want from kernel...

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] euquiq:
Hi people :) This is my first post in the forum ... So hopefully my question is well placed. I previously searched this forum for an answer, and since I did not find one, Maybe my question is an interesting /valid one:

I have bought my nook colour 4 days ago. I rooted it and then installed Cyanogen Mods ... I am currently using the latest nightly with overclock kernel (1300 Mhz). I tested also older nighties (started with 64).

I press the Bluetooth softbutton, it keeps in "dark green" for some seconds and then turns off.

I go to configuration ,and turn on Bluetooth in the network options, it says "Activating" for a while, and then it goes back to inactive.

I tought that this was a solved issue and our nooks had their bluetooth working :( may be that my nook is too new, and b&n took the bluetooth module away ? :eek:

Regards,

Enrique
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n3cr0tic:
I have just bought a nook as well and this happened to me. after searching the forums I found a couple of suggestions and what worked for me was the hard power off method.

Basically just hold the power button down till the nook turns off, then turn it back on.

After it fully starts up immediately try to turn bt on. For mine, it worked right away and I just always leave bt turned on.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] euquiq:
It worked - at least kinda of...

Hi n3cr0tic!

Thanks for the tip ... it successfully turned on the bluetooth. Now the thing is that I can see my phone, but apparently the nook does not expose any service at all (like "file transfer" for example) nor can see the services that my phone readily offers.

On the distance side, I would say that it discovered my phone up to two meters away ...

any further help is appreciated ... I am new to android itself, so it is most probably something pretty obvious I am missing, like for instance installing "the bluetooth services daemon" or similar ... I will search around...

Regards,

Enrique

Xperia Arc Launcher

Here is another one.

5x5 Apptray.

5 Homescreens.

Everyrhing works great except one thing.

As you can see in the picture No.3, When you drag one app from apptray to

your homescreen, it takes the room of two icons instead of one.

I can fix that but when I do, some other widgets don't work properly.

Of course you can put the apps in a folder in your homescreens, they work fine.

Does anyone know what would be the problem?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] hoss_n2:
..................
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] sohrab1985:
I found two solutions for the problem in the last version:

1. Instead of draging apps from apptray into your homescreens, make a shortcut.

2. when you drag one app or more from apptray into your homescreens, put them in a folder and then take them out to your home screen again.

In both of these ways apps take just the room of one icon, not two.

You don't need root access, just get any file manager and lookup for the clockwork folder in your SD card, saves are named according the date you made the save. Something like sdcard>clockwork>buckup>your save <-delete
