yeeep freeze is the best option, I use the same config as you, and i have freezed almost all bloatware quoted on apps that can be removed thread.

This method save battery and improve performance, also don't break ota updates since hash or system files are not deleted
[Acer Iconia A500] eersfanpilot:
Thanks. I ran a batch back up first and now am experimenting with both freezing and removing. I figure at worst case, I can restore everything, get the update 3.1 when out, then re-do the removal/freeze work.
[General Questions and Answers] danhi:
I am interested in booting my Nook Color into Android. I've read a lot of the posts on how to do this, but I still have a question. I can see where you can boot off the SD card. Is it possible to set up the SD card, and then boot from it without rerooting the Nook? I'd just like to play with this, and don't want to reroot the Nook, but only have it boot into Android if the SD card is inserted.

Thanks for any help,

Dan
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 350havok:
I just bought the new samsung infuse 4g. I have a pioneer dvd receiver with both a usb and aux input on front. When I connect the infuse to the pioneer with usb cable, the head unit says form read and does nothing. It will play music through the aux but I would like to have some control on the screen like I do with my iphone 4. Any help is greatly appriciated. This is my first android phone been iphone for since 3g, 3gs, 4.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
most head units are formatted mainly for ipod.

i have the idrive system in my suv and i cant get it to come up like it does on iphone or ipod. just lets me play forward rewind skip the general functions.

but when i plug in my ipod. i get full track list albums and what not
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 350havok:
It's certainly disappointing.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
word. pisses me off at times, because i got buttons on being my steering wheel to control all of that but noooo.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
the easy answer is that you need a dock. a dock can be simulated but im not going into that in this post. the home dock alonk with the deskhome app enables usb out. you can get a different app that will work but you still need to trigger dock mode. sorry there isnt an easier way that i know of. not untill there is some development on the platform.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Trancerush:
When you plug in infuse into usb

Port it asks if u want to use it as disk drive kies or something else

I forgot what now.

This might be the problem as it should be usb disk drive
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
ooh crap i think i read wrong. ok you need to mount the storage to the headunit. it "may" support usb audio, but it is likely trying to look for media on the device. that is the only way that it would potentially use the stearing wheel controls. if it were to use audio over usb it would still use the phones media player.

it might not have drivers that can support the infuse to be mounted as storage. but if it does you can mount it from the notification bar on the phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
hmm, try getting a widget that mounts the SD card when you plug it in. ("plug it in and turn me on"- Afrojack ) anyways, yeah maybe if you can get the sd card to mount it will works as a USB disk drive.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jmfrost:
So...is there no answer on this yet? I have a Kenwood head unit in my truck and it sits on reading as well. I've tried the mass storage option and media player. I've also plugged the phone into my laptop and synced it with WMP thinking that would create a folder structure that the head unit is looking for, but nothing. I've plugged in various Android devices and they have all worked (even the cheap Chinese ones). There has to be an easy answer to this.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
In my experience it has been.hit or miss device to device.

Did you try the app mentioned above
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jmfrost:
I haven't tried the app above because the way the post read to me was that I also needed the dock. Maybe I haven't tried enough devices, but every device I've plugged in has worked so far, even a plain flash drive, until I tried this unit. Which leads me to think if I can make a plain and simple flash drive work, then surely I can make this work in mass storage mode. I'm thinking it has to be something to do with file/folder structure. Again, it could possibly be the file system. Seems like I read somewhere the file system was formatted with something outside the norm. So I wonder if I format a microsd card as fat or fat32, then maybe that's the trick?!?!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jmfrost:
I'm getting closer to a fix. Here's what I have working so far. If you create a folder on the microSD card called music and drop all your tunes in there, select mass storage mode when you connect to the USB port, then the stereo should start reading from that folder automatically. I didn't format the card that came with the Infuse so whatever file system they formatted it with seems to be fine. I also haven't tried this folder on the internal memory, but will try that as part of my testing. I listen to a lot of podcasts as well, so I need to figure out a way to organize so I can switch between music and podcasts easily and so far I've only been able to control it from the headunit. I also haven't been able to get things like GPS voice navigation to play through the head unit either...yet.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
Keep us posted for sure!!!

I have an old 500gb drive i use for this so really no need to do it from the phone...

My jvc has bt so i just play stuff thats on my phone over that :p
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jmfrost:
So far I've hit another brick wall. I'll figure out something, it's driving me nuts. I can't believe they would leave this functionality out, in particular for use a GPS navigation device.

I have tried BT connections in other cars, but my bionic ears notice a considerable drop in sound quality when doing that. :p

I have e-mailed Samsung to see what their official response is to this.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
lost me there on the GPS ...

I can tell a slight difference in sound quality but not enough that it has bothered me....I think I just dig not having cables running everywhere.

I may try and mess with mine tomorrow if I can find some time
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jmfrost:
What I was saying about the GPS is that it's nice to hear the turn-by-turn instructions over the stereo. If other people are talking, then sometimes you don't hear it if you're using the phones speaker.

FWIW, here is the response I got from Samsung. I just looked through my settings and most of this is already done. My gut feeling is...Samsung ain't gonna' do jack about this! Maybe I don't understand and manufacturers aren't using Android devices to compete with iPhone. But if you want to compete with iPhone, then I would think connecting to external devices as easily as iPhones do would be a key part of that competition. This is why Windows never lost out to Linux and ios became king. There are a few of us geeks willing to dabble, but most people just want it to work. I'm no phanboy, but I certainly have to give Apple credit on this one. Maybe this will improve with a GB or Ice Cream update. :rolleyes:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
I guess where I am lost is in that has nothing to do with hooking the device up via mass storage :p

That one is another great benefit to BT set up...GPS broadcasts to the head unit, all sounds do

When hooked up via mass storage the head unit will only be reading files....so that is what threw me off when you mentioned GPS
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jmfrost:
OK. So you got me on the BT thing. But I'm not going to rush out and spend $200+ for a decent HU that has BT. Maybe I can find an adapter.

The GPS thing was a side thought.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
It's awesome! Sorry, I have been addicted to BT for years now...I have two sets of stereo headphones, the JVC in the car, and have been looking for a home surround system with BT (not as important now that most blueray players are network/pandora ready). They prolly make an adapter specifically for your H/U
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ogre_Two:
I had this same issue over last weekend, on the way to a music festival. My friends kenwood deck wouldn't play my infuse through the USB. As far as I can tell it's seriously just something that Samsung has left out. There were 3 other droids in the car that played perfectly through the USB. Very frustrating to say the least, especially on a phone of it's level.
[Desire General] minda67:
I have now found a well functioning ROM, InsertCoins. The only thing that is not ok, is that I can't set up my Exchange account with ActiveSync in sense 2.1-3.0. Have tried several ROMS and have found that there must be something with the security policy in the sense 2.1-3.0 that is different. LeeDroids ROMs work "normally", but they do not have the user interface I want.

Got a tip about using TouchDown with ActivSync. It works, but then I'm stuck with touchdowns calendar, which I do not like anything special.

I'm surprised that I don't see many that have the same problem as me, so I wonder if there's something about the policy in my company who do this, or there are few that uses exchange account on their htc rooted desire .....
[Desire General] Noppes123:
I'm running InsertCoin GB Sense v1.03 with Exchange Active Sync to our corporate mail server. Works just fine.

Our company uses a policy to force a PIN or password, with a maximum unlock time of 1 hour. Also it is Exchange Server 2007 (not sure which updates/fixes have been applied ATM).

Which version of Exchange Server is running in your organization?
[Desire General] minda67:
I think that my company use Exchange Server 2007.

I get this message after I get through all registration and ready to finish...

"Exchange Policy error

Unable to sign in to your Wxchange account because your policy settings are incompatible with those on server.

Please contact your IT team for assistanse"

I believe that our security policy have max unlock time of 15 minutes..
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Try another mail-client like e.g. K-9 Mail:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fsck.k9
[Desire General] minda67:
Thanks, but K-9 don't have calendar, who is the main reason for me to use exchange on my mobile...
[Desire General] vrolok:
no prob here... google exchange in rcmix.
[Desire General] /rant/:
I can confirm that. No problems at all with Exchange integration. I have 3 (!) accounts push-synced on my RCMixS 1.6.2. Must be something else then.
[Desire General] minda67:
Tried RCMixS 1.6.2 now, get the same error after i make pin code.

In additional to the error message it says:

Security Policy Required

Policy Setting incompatible:

Allow storage card

Allow Desktop Sync

Contact your IT administrator for assistance...

I could stay at a working sense 2.1 version, but after seeing all the new features, I really whant to find out what it is that is not compatible. If not, I'll use Touchdown, it's the only way to get exchange to work.

So, what do Touchdown have/do, that can work around androids/my companys security??? I whish I knew... I hate the calendar in Touchdown, and I'm not able to use Jorte calendar or other calendars....

I did not have this problem with old interface, in any roms....

It makes me insane that I cant find out why this is....

Update: It was my company that had to make ajustments on exchange server to newer versions of Android. Now it works fine.
[Desire General] djhlehi:
I have the same problem

I'm having the same issue. After running MikFroyo for about 6 months, I've been impatiently waiting for some GB rom to get stable and fully-functional enough to use as a daily--then of course as soon as I had a taste of Sense 3.0, that's what I want to run... For me, I'd be fine with using Touchdown (I just want the email), but I get the same error with that app as I get with Sense's embedded Exchange AS setup: Authentication error. I've checked and rechecked my username and password several times, and it works fine when I go back to Froyo (whatever sense). I'm on MikG sense 2.1v0.5, and I've tried VR Kingdom (Sense 3.0). I really like this MikG rom, that's pulled several elements of S3.0 into the 2.1, because it will run on my favorite kernel from way back in the Eclair days when I was running BakedSnack (this is the first GB ROM I've found that runs smoothly under my BakedBattery kernel-- hero-over #7).

I've rambled. I plan to check out some of the other mail programs mentioned above...

UPDATE: I tried Touchdown and k-9 Mail and DroidMail, all with unsuccessful results. I had submitted a case with the IT group at my company this morning and was waiting for some action on that (IT group is in India). A tech IM'd me and asked me what version of Android I was running--I told him 2.3.3, and he disappeared. So, I tried one more time on the native Exchange AS app, and viola, it worked--email, contacts, calendar are all syncing now. The notes in the case closure email state, "we have enabled your new device ID in server..." It seems like I noticed awhile ago that what my phone was called had changed, and I thought it was a GB thing, not a sense thing... Anyway, this may be a one-off case, or it may apply. Either way, I just wanted to update.
[Desire General] theshowman:
I also have problems using HTC's default mail client ever since Sense 2.1 and Sense 3.0.

I get the incompatibility with our corporate server due to:

- Remote Desktop

- Desktop sync

- S/MIME

Worked fine with Sense 2.0.

HTC must have changed/enhanced their security policy which has caused this issue.

Touch Down works, but if you actually go the "Security policies", it does mention incompatibilities with above, but it is ignoring them for now.

I wonder how one can report this to HTC?
[Desire General] YorickRise:
I have similar problem - my corporate exchange does work only on Froyo (stock, Starburst) but fail to connect to server on Gingerbread CSW. I have tried Gingerburst, LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.1-Port-R2, RCMix S v2.0, InsertCoin 1.0.8 and all have same issue - server not available. Does GB identifies somehow differently? I know that server checks IMEI, but that is the same :)

Any hints would be welcome :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Troy89:
Can somebody help me? I had a problem with isyncr copying of multiple copies of songs and I had some problems so since I only use the internal storage for music I just reformatted it to fix everything. Now the music album art is showing up in the sense music player but not the sense music widget.

I have tested the music widget on 3 different roms and get the same problem

Also I formatted from the phone from windows.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Troy89:
I think I fixed it. The problem seemed to be the gingerbread roms, not sure why it messed up on SR 3.5 too at first but it seems to be fixed.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
What app is everybody using to Overclock on gingerbread? I've heard some people have been having trouble with some and just wanted to get a general consensus on what app would be best to use
[Droid X General] chbennett:
Jrummy's app (droidoverclock) is still working like a charm.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Really? I must be really doing something wrong. Whenever I go to open a menu in the app, it reboots my phone. Even if it is the extras menu. I can't do anything with it
[Droid X General] ndwatkins:
There was an update jrummy released a little while back that fixed that problem. Check the market and see if you have an update maybe? Hope this helps :)
[Droid X General] nathanielfoster:
I've been using Setcpu and everything appears to be working normal.
[Droid X General] Shiftyy:
QuickClock Advanced works pretty well on GB
[Fascinate General] JuniorBevins:
I've been running the Community Rom, but Evil Fascination is lookin good. Gonna try that out tonight I think. People who have ran them, which one do you like better?
[Fascinate General] JoeProcopio:
they're both great...EF runs more like stock if you use the TW launcher, but i use the LG launcher on both of them, so they are pretty much the same to me...they are both snappy, and both feel pretty fast...currently running CR
[Fascinate General] sfobrien:
Yes they are both very good. Was running EF when CommRom came out. I prefer the Community.
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
Personally I prefer com rom but that's me
[Fascinate General] homiegv:
I like evil fasc
[Fascinate General] s44:
EF342. IMO it's gotten a bit overbaked since then.
[Fascinate General] garywojdan81:
Truth be told, I like 'em both. They each have unique features & appeal. For me, either was better than stock. Currently on comm.rom with otb 1.4.

Sent from my OTB Comm.Rominate
[Fascinate General] inmybrain:
I too have run both of them. I do have a special love for EF, but that might be because that was my first rom to flash. I've been running CR for about a week it seems to run a little smoother than EF not nearly as many battery pulls so far.
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
I mean really they are both pretty similar under the hood up until now because ef uses tsm frameworks
[Fascinate General] chefthomas99:
Comrom
[Fascinate General] mefloump:
I'm running ef and had no problems, batt pulls, or fc. Plus I dig the theme. Have not tried comm rom yet. Happy where I am. Just my 2 cents.
[Fascinate General] thefunkbot:
I think similar is an understatement.
[Fascinate General] harpdoc:
I seem to be getting better battery life with EF.
[Fascinate General] SOTK:
EF runs stable for me. I tried CR and had a couple of weird things happen. Rom booted into "safe mode" one time for some reason. It booted normally after a battery pull. Like I said, weird. EF has been stable so I've stuck with it. That and I like the theme.
[Fascinate General] zas311:
I tried both roms and they were great.

Sadly I had to return to SC2.9.2 because they prevented me to bypass the lock screen.

I use NoLock to bypass the lock screen on SC2.9.2 with the imnuts' 50 kernel and ED01 radio.

The battery stays longer with the combination for me.
[Fascinate General] Krbass:
Ive used both and prefer EF. I get great bat life, the rom is super smooth and the theme is awesome :D
[Fascinate General] btstarcher:
I tried Comm Rom for awhile, just flashed EF last night; so far I prefer EF. Better battery, I prefer the theme...also I ran into a few bugs with Comm Rom.
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
any *bugs* that would be in com rom would be in ef presumably...kernel aside
[Fascinate General] Bubbadogg14:
It seems ppl w EF problems r fine on comm rom n vice versa... Its odd being they r so similar but I always read this doesnt wrk on comm rom but I went 2 ef n its awesome or this fcs on ef so I switched 2 comm rom n its amazing so I think it depends on ur phone
[Fascinate General] shahud:
The update that is about to come out for Community ROM looks pretty big. It could change things in the Community ROM vs Evil Fascination battle. Either way with these two ROMs being updated constantly anyone who owns a fascinate is a winner.
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
yeah to each his own...i will say if tsm mods only went in tsm roms, it would be a different ballgame
[Fascinate General] Bubbadogg14:
Nitro has been working on a very big update as well... I believe his personal life have kept him from wrking on it/having it out already but both roms really r a work of art... I prefer jts cm7 to both actually I jus cant use it as a daily driver w.o the camera so I keep.a nandroid backup of it n EF n I restore between the 2 from time 2 time
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
well ill be interested to see what new features are in ef 3.6 that are separate from com rom personally
[Fascinate General] Bubbadogg14:
Not sure of wat features it entails but hes supposed 2 be puttin it out sometime tonite
[Fascinate General] Southp@w:
Ive tried both and they are pretty much the same to me. Personally I like EF because of the theme. I paired it with OTB kernel and love it.
[Fascinate General] killingwb:
EF ROM.. i have tried both and EF is better i think
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
ef no longer has tsm parts in it....hmm

:)
[Fascinate General] Bubbadogg14:
I kno thats wat u were waitin for lol... N I can c y u guys always had tension towards EF but this is a community not a competition I kno making the best rom n wat not deserves bragging rites but unless nitro didnt ask 2 use tsm parts n stuff from comm rom there should be no hard feelings... I kno ur gona like this part nitsuj but I dnt like 3.6 as much as previous versions n tsm parts is a big reason y
[Fascinate General] bratliff:
I switched to ef 3.6 Last night..so far it seems to have way better battery life and a bit more stable than common rom was for me. YMMV

I liked common rom and look forward to 2.0..

I bought this with hopes of cm7 soo looking forward to that too.

I have had an og droid, droid x and now the fascinate never seen so much bad blood among the devs.. :( I hope they can work together seems like they all work hard and do a great job.
[Fascinate General] Bubbadogg14:
The developers here may have some disagreements i dnt kno if id say there's bad blood here
[Fascinate General] bratliff:
Maybe bad blood is too strong..
[Fascinate General] Robyna2010:
EF342 for me, too. Best I've tried without being too "excessive" in any area. Had issues in Com Rom 1.2 with keyboard and some apps not working... Gave up and went back to EF. I tried 35x but not the newest 36x, so I can't comment on it.
[Fascinate General] ltrain996:
EF seems less buggy for me.
