[T-Mobile LG G2x] zimphishmonger:
Hey all,

Im having a strange issue w/ ROM manager. My nandroid backup works fine, and can be seen while in CWM, but when you go into ROM manager, and go to "Manage backups", no backups can be seen, deleted, restored, etc. (all from wtihin ROM Manager)

They are being stored on my external sd card in /clockworkmod (I haven't moved them, and I have no idea why it cant see them.

Could ROM manager be looking on the Internal SD for backups? If so, why would it do that when only the external sd is accessible in recovery.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I think it is the exact opposite.

Recovery only uses your SD card. Rom Manager is looking for your SD card but your rom has it "Sdcard" = Internal Storage and "External Storage" = SDcard.

So that is the reason. Just keep doing what you are doing. Rom manager isn't required.

If you used a rom like CM7, it reverses the storage so Internal = MMC1, and SDCard=SDcard. Thus everything plays nice.

[HD2 General] agentdevan:
like is it easy to install custom roms? do i just use rom manager?, is there any problems? are there like any cons?

i also have an upgrade. So im either gonna buy an hd2 from craigslist and save the upgrade or get the g2x. any suggestions/tips?
[HD2 General] Richy99:
you can only use the rom manager is you use clk

if you install CWM then you can just download the zip file and flast it without it being hooked up tothe pc
[HD2 General] agentdevan:
so theres no limitations? Its like it was meant to run android?
[HD2 General] Richy99:
something are a little slower such as gps but the majority of things run well depending on the rom you are using
[HD2 General] agentdevan:
Oh okay, nicee. So, whats your opinion? Buy the g2x or buy this? i love the dual core g2x but hd2 can run sooo much!
[HD2 General] Kailkti:
Depends on what you want. To me you sound like you're only interested in performance so go and get the G2X. If you were interested in flashing and trying out all sorts of stuff then the HD2 would be a great choice.

I for one will never buy a another tegra SoC because of what nvidia's doing to the gaming world.

Anyways, why not a sensation or sgs2? Those are surely better than the G2X in performance, and everything else, but the sensation will come with a signed bootloader hacking it fully will come in about a years time, like all other locked bootloaders, while the sgs 2 comes unlocked.
[HD2 General] agentdevan:
i thought about the sensation and its gonna be 200 dollars where as im gonna get the g2x for 100 from radio shack. The sgs2 looks really good, but i cant trust the galaxy s series. Do you know when the sgs2 comes out?
[HD2 General] Kailkti:
The sgs2 already came out. And why don't you trust them? Updates? Well the international sgs2 will get updates fast like the international sgs. Problems? So far people say god works with a few responses saying otherwise. Battery is the same,let say good, little say bad.
[HD2 General] agentdevan:
Im in the US, it wasnt released yet. i dont like samsung really. I mean if it comes out reasonably soon for the US then i might just wait for it
[HD2 General] Kailkti:
If you wait for aT&t, verizon, t-mo, sprint to release their versions, you're going to also have to wait for them to release their updates, which is noticeably slower than samsung, and the reason as to why people complain samsung updates slow,even though it's not their fault.

If you use aT&t, you can get the international sgs 2 and it will work with 3g and their "4g". Unless you're waiting so as to renew your contract so as to get a better deal.
[HD2 General] agentdevan:
im tmobile and im only 17 so switching companies isnt really an option.
[HD2 General] IvoBoss:
android works perfectly on HD2 :)
[HD2 General] digiholic:
Personally I'm waiting on the SGSII to drop on TMOUS. Until then the HD2 is all I need. If you can wait (might be couple months) that's the best phone. Rooted with a ROM already. By the time we get it.... it will be solid with ROMs.

Next option would be the Sensation, but it's ability to be rooted and ROM'd is still in question.

G2X has had issues and would worry me. I'm with Kailkti and say FU! Nvidia. I've been an Nvidia fanboy for a long time with PC gaming. No more. But the phone is more powerful than the HD2, better sound, maybe some better other things. Only played with it in the store.

HD2 I love and is a ROM machine. You can't go wrong with it.

If you plan on doing a 2 year commitment... I would spend the extra money on a newer device. SGSII if you can wait... Sensation if you can't.
[HD2 General] digiholic:
Custom ROMs can be very easy yes. Just follow the directions exactly. Watch this to see how easy...

[YOUTUBE]71WDYfDg4sA[/YOUTUBE]

Getting back on point with your original question... I would buy the HD2 used and save the upgrade. The HD2 will keep you happy with everything except super high end gaming. Even then it plays most games. I run many cracked Gameloft games on it. It will keep you happy for months. It's what I did a couple of months ago while I wait for the SGSII.

Then either use your upgrade on the Sensation and sell it for profit or wait for the SGSII or another great device down the road.
[HD2 General] Hamsn:
Simple words for Android on HD2: It's Native.
[HD2 General] MAGPC:
Those simple words just saved my day, thank you :D

I am just another person thinking of HD2. I am a Rom-Lover, so HD2 is perfect for me, even perfect to me than perfection itself.
[HD2 General] hypertyper:
HD2 with Android is incredible. When I got the phone I wasn't sure I could be bothered to change but reading the guides on here and seeing how much you can customize Android and how well it works made me switch. Never looked back. It's amazing!
[HD2 General] agentdevan:
So, i bought the G2x and it was the best decision i've ever made. I LOVE ITT. I came from an evo shift and this is greatttttt

[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
So I did a live chat with a t-mo rep earlier and just for kicks I asked when the GB update was rolling out. Haha what a joke her reply was look at the pic!! This just confirms that T-Mo reps know nothing in the light of software releases. Contact Google?! Really!? Ha, this update is between T-Mo and LG. Google has nothing to do with it!! Silly T-Mo reps!! Sorry, vent over.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ramirez3805:
I just try to ignore the fact 2.3 exist and been out for months.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crx4xharder:
Haha, you should have said "unless youre rooted and already running 2.3, then google can't even keep up" lol I like to talk smack on the online chats lol its fun to get such a robotic response. And you have so much time to laugh about it while theyre trying to figure out a response lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diazjohn:
Sure, that was a dumb answer, but what did you expect? Frontline T-Mobile employees aren't given a date for the release...The best I've been able to get from LG was "summer".

There is so much testing and QA that goes into the software updates, that if they gave someone a date, and for some reason it had to be pushed back, all hell would break loose. And if they do release on time, but don't iron out all the bugs, then all hell breaks loose.

If you want GB now, root it and have fun. Otherwise, just wait for it to come. More than likely, no one will know an exact date until the week it starts rolling out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
Everything you said I already know. I just wanted to ask for kicks. This person from T-Mo I spoke with was supposedly in the "Android department"
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lerouemm:
I spoke with a T-Mobile rep the other day and he told me the rumors are "End of June"...so we'll see...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
A lot of times, people will blame the company for not giving their employee's information. Such as employee's not knowing the release date, not knowing the phone was even released, product changes, service changes, etc.

I worked in a call center for 10yrs in management. Be rest assured, the company misses informing the employees a lot less than the employee's not reading their emails. In tech support, I would send out 3 emails within 30min, detailing an outage. But for hours, I would have reps coming up to me: "I'm getting a lot of calls about <x> area, there may be an outage."

Man, I wanted to slap them. lol. This happened more times than I can even recall. The only way around this was to: Pin big notes on cubicle walls, do an email blast, place an outage board in multiple locations in the center, and do screen pops. We had to do ALL of these things.. and we'd still have that 1 guy... "Is there a new product out?" ughh... man.

So I wouldn't be so quick to judge TMO.. The problem is your fellow human beings who are lazy.. not doing their jobs.. just collecting a paycheck. Over 95% of the time, it was the employee not paying attention, reading, etc. Then, I would say to an employee.. "Lemme see your email box." lol. thousands of unread messages. lol. Unfiltered, not filed, etc.

Trust me.. it's not the company as much we think it is.

Hi all

Recently I was looking at some videos of people playing dungeon hunter 2 on the motorola milestone. One person was using the milestone official 2.2 update and it seems to be blazingly smooth when running dungeon hunter 2. But I'm on froyomod 2.7 and the gameplay isn't smooth. Is this jsut my phone or is it the rom?

Anyone want to help/discuss?

Charlie
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rrohanjs:
if u gimme the link to the .apk for the game for milestone ill tell u how to make it work ... i am currently playing modern combat 2 n its as smooth as it can get :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] snakeep:
I can do it

Did you tried to do a Overclock? Im using a CM7 with Overclock 1.2GHz and it work fine when i'm gaming.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] choudu1:
Weird. I'm playing dungeon hunter 2 using froyomod at 1.1ghz. I have no clue why its lagging
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
Overclocking definitely helps, but the reason why you are probably lagging is due to memory management. Try supercharging your phone by checking out zeppelinrox's supercharging thread in this subforum.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] choudu1:
Kl thx cos I'm using amm set to aggressive but it doesn't seem to make that much of a difference
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
AMM is more of a temporary fix compared to zeppelin's supercharging.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] victor.prs:
I thought that the Froyomod already has the School config...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] victor.prs:
LOL it's not school, it's SC

Sorry, adapting to the SwiftKey keyboard...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
By SC I'm guessing you mean Supercharging? :p

Luca made his own kind of memory management but it isn't like zeppelin's.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] victor.prs:
Yes, supercharging!

I prefer to use the luca's way.

On SC/Cm7, I couldn't open too many apps...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
heh... actually it doesn't :P

There are a couple of ROMs that do now tho.. HO!NO! cm7 and MIUI by eybee1970
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] keunhuvac:
I modified every CM7 ROM, apply gaming script from zeppelirox, and here is list of games that i can play (smooth) on my MS:

1. Mordem combat 2.

2. Shadow guardian.

3. Setler HD.

4. Starfont collision HD.

5. Rise of Ayden HD.

6. Gun bros 1.4

7. Contract killer

(these 2 glu games are too heavy for MS).

8. Grave defense HD.

9. Guerilla bob.

10. Fast5 (but lag, look like play a slideshow ^_^).

.....
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] victor.prs:
Niice!! :D

And how is the general performance in the daily usage?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
That's funny because luca doesn't even like FroyoMod's current memory management -which is merely aggressive minfree levels.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] keunhuvac:
It's good! But no multitasking! Battery is good also!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] victor.prs:
LOL! So, my Milestone can run much faster and much more stable?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] choudu1:
Keun when u say u can play those games smoothly what do u mean. Because when I was on cm7 modern combat didn't even start and it did start on iceandfire (no supercharger but I was using amm at the time) but it was laggy and eternal legacy didn't really work properly. Also on froyomod shadow guardian does work but is really choppy at times (about 1-2fps) whereas other times it works at about 30-60fps. And dungeon hunter 2 doesn't get past 20fps.

But all this time I didn't have zepplin's supercharger. I only used auto memory manager
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] HinotoriBR:
I use CM7 here, yesterday night I've tried all v6 options to no avail, Gun Bros won't go past loading screen few seconds after I choose a mission.... Game Settings, Agressive Settings, Ballanced, none worked (not that I'm fanatic for the game, never played it, just curious as many people mention this game)... Perhaps CM7 uses more memory anyway and there is not enough memory even using Zeppelinrox scripts... ?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] choudu1:
Try the iceandfire 2.XX. that rom is working well for me. I had gun bros on my defy. Its not that great to be honest and did get boring damn quick

Hi,

i live in argentina, and i found i dont have 3g coverage.

bands in argentina are http://www.mobileworldlive.com/maps/network.php?cid=3206&cname=Argentina

Do anyone know if is there a way to config my xt720 to bands 850/1900?

tks!
[Milestone XT720 General] martian13:
There isn't anything to configure. The phone automatically defaults to the 850/1900 bands when 3G isn't available.
[Milestone XT720 General] tutincho:
but if in my country bands ar 850/1900, why do i only have edge?
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
You probably won't ever get 3G due to different bands on the phone versus your country's. Edge only. :(
[Milestone XT720 General] lynxz3:
To expand on what the Rev said from what i know in North America all XT720s that were sold, were W-CDMA/AWS i.e. their 3G bands were 1700mhz down link and 2100mhz uplink. Although they did have quad band 2G i.e. GSM 850/900/1800/1900.

So if in Argentina they are using 3G frequencies 850mhz down link 1900mhz uplink then the xt720 will never get 3G HSPA, phones from the following carriers will work Telstra NextG phones (Australian), Rogers (Canadian), Bell New 3G (Canadian), Telus New 3G (Canadian), and AT&T (USA).

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I didn't know the specifics off the top of my head, I just knew it wasn't going to work.

[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
You had your screen on for most of that 7-8 hour period, and the phone was awake, doing something. This is totally normal.

Does yours always hit on the back like mine does ?
[Galaxy S II General] drm111:
Becuase your phone was in use for a lot of that time.

Normally I get 7-10 hours battery life with my semi-heavy usage.

But yesterday I tested to see if I could get more, I only used the phone for four 5 minute phone calls, tonnes of texts, a little bit of web browsing and a little bit of youtube on 3G and wifi. No games or anything, and the battery still had 40% left after 20 1/2 hours.

But with my normal usage as i said, I get 7 - 10 hours.

wow that is exactly what I am doing now too :)

was charging twice a day for a week and finally got tired. limited my heavy-graphics gaming from 2-3 hours a day to half hour, now 16 and a half hours past charge, I have 5% left and I am starting to think "how the heck do I discharge to 1% quicker so I have time to charge before I leave work tonight" :)

I have gmail and exchange in push autosync, plus 2 screens of widgets that refresh (weather, news, calendar and mail), 15 minutes of calls, some texts, news reading, picture taking and viewing. Screen was on for 3 hours in this 16.5 hour period.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
Unless you are chilling around all day a foot away from a fireplace, this is not normal. It means something is constantly running on the phone and is using the CPU heavily. If you screen is on, it also heats up. Lower screen brightness if you have the screen on for long periods of time.

and if it is rogue apps running in the background, eating CPU cycles - do a factory reset as someone already suggested, and then set up your phone anew, carefully avoiding CRAPWARE and BLOATWARE services and apps.
