I'm gettin tired of waiting for this OTA!!!
[Thunderbolt General] applejacks24:
I was waiting, then just decided to flash a gb rom. It was the way to go.

[Thunderbolt General] Immolate:
First, there was never any proven correlation between the initial leaked radio and the bricking that a few people experienced. The developers, including jcase and others, worked hard to isolate the cause of the problem, but came up with nothing.

A lot of folks downgraded from their GB ROMs to Froyo for a day or a week after the warnings, but eventually almost everyone came back. The reason for this is that the bricking issue pretty much ceased.

Now that the MR2 radio is available, the common assumption is that, if the rare bricking issue was radio-related, then it is quite likely no longer a problem with MR2.

I recommend, if you are anxious for GB, that you research and find the instructions for flashing the radio and chose a GB ROM (there are many and most of them are top-notch) and then upgrade. If all of this is too intimidating for you, I recommend you wait until the official OTA comes out. Rooting and ROMing isn't for everyone. It requires a certain amount of adventurism.

Now the evo 4g gets gb on 6/6 officially.

What's really the hold up with this power house of a phone not getting its love? Am I wrong to feel it should have had it out of the box...the Droid got ota gb this past week...as we sit waiting. I'm disappointed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] javolin13:
I personally think its t-mobile... they're horrible about getting updates out for ANY of their phones...

the o2x i believe already has a release for UK
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
The o2 was released prior to this phone. Be patient. With all the issues t-mobile and LG are probably making sure it works right this time. I have a feeling the stock shortage was an excuse to prep for gingerbread release.

G2x with faux AOSP
[T-Mobile LG G2x] keyboardr:
Right, the Vibrant lagged way behind the other US Galaxy S phones on the 2.2 update... oh wait...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krylon360:
you guys do realize all the phones that are getting GB have been out for a while right? It's not even summer yet, so TMO still hasn't past their said deadline. chill out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Uhhh, thats because of a lil group called #neveragain @samsung... Thats that...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vapor311:
I had a captivate for a while so I'm very jaded In being patient for a carrier to provide my update. I just don't hold my breath.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Smallsmx3:
The evo 4g. The one that's been out for 10 months or so???? Yeah were so far behind. I mean we've had our phones for almost two!!! This is such BS...I'm bringing mine back for an evo......seriously though the GB leaks are more than functional and if your not flashing than shame on you. You'll be the same person that waits for the official 2.3 to drop and then post a complaint on everything that doesn't function right. This phone just came out give it some time. Unfortunately unless you have a nexus phone you're always going to be waiting on the latest and greatest because you're at the mercy of your carrier. I'm still confused as to why google went with samsung and a similar speced phone with the S when dual core tech was available and seems to be the norm for most top end google phones....damn you fragmentation!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Suprah:
It hasn't been our for full two months yet. Calm down or you can sit in a corner and cry about it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
By June 21st. So be patient.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
You may be disappointed when it does come out.

I was using EB GB leak based ROM with and without OC kernel. Other then a different look and feel, not much of an upgrade in the update. the only performance improvements were result of EB tweaks and the kernels- not GB 2.3. Am back on 2.2.2 with OC UV kernel, as it has original camera and is pretty stable.

Android 2.4 on the other hand would be a major upgrade, as it is optimized for duel core - 2.3 is not. It might be out on other devices this month - but we would be lucky to see it on the G2X this year (unless the Dev's port it over).

At least the OTA should still have the basic stock apps - like the HD camera - which the GB leak did not. Then the Dev's can work directly off of a G2X specific ROM. But you will not see any significant improvements with 2.3 by itself.

If you are rooted, you could get a GB them, flash it, and pretend.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
Gb includes hardware accletated browsing. Copy and paste. And speed imporvememts.

Other little things as well.

Biggest thing?

IT WILL FIX THE REBOOTS AND WIFI. Officially.

So I don't think he or anyone else is going to be disappointed with that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Smallsmx3:
I bet if u look back a few months u can find the same exact post but it will say something like froyo isn't to big an upgrade its gingerbread we really want....lol. no one is ever happy. Android 2.3.4 is pretty nice in my opinion. I could care less about 2.4 and what its potentially going to bring to the table. Its android and it beats any other OS out ther no matter what revision
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dligon:
i say op you go to you local tmobile store and demand the rep behind the counter place 2.4 aka icecream on your phone don't settle for gb if they say no chunk the phone at him/her and turn over a few display stations on your way out. the call up tmobile's customer service and tell them that their store rep refused to place 2.4 on your phone and you want their job or you will throw a bf and write the president of the company.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Memnoch30:
GB has hardware accelerated browsing?! I thought only the SGS2 had a hardware accelerated browser?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kangxi:
The GB leak was just that, an unfinished leak that still needed work. The official update will most likely be a lot better.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] XPLANE9:
You are correct. Only the SGS and SGS2 have a hardware accelerated browser.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
But its in gingerbread. Not froyo.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Memnoch30:
But then it's not in AOSP as the Nexus One and Nexus S would have accelerated browsers too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
OK. Let me rephrase its gingerbread that has it. Does not exist until 2.3

The g2x does indeed do it for flash.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Memnoch30:
If it's Gingerbread itself it would be in AOSP right? Also, how come those are the only two phones that have it? How come the Nexus S browser still lags because of not having h/w acceleration? That's one of the main complaints of the Nexus S (I had a Nexus S before the G2x).

I'm not trying to argue, just trying to understand at which point this gets implemented. It seems like it is something Samsung did on their own since the Nexus S doesn't have it. Just like custom camera apps and things like that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
Only flash gets acceleration. On the g2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Atrix27:

My wife's phone was running ComRom 1.3 nicely when she decided she wanted the honeycomb theme from nitro that he made for the ComRom. No problems, however, now the TSM parts is no longer located in settings, and does not appear in the applications list, even after restoring the .apk with TiBu. Was this due to a modified framework from the theming? Any ideas on how to restore it?

[General Questions and Answers] aardvarkr:
I lost my iPod touch, so my question is should I replace my ipod touch and maintain the status quo, or buy a tablet and start a new adventure?

I used my ipod in much the same way I see myself using a tablet: to organize my life with email/calendar and entertain myself with internet and books and music. So I was researching the 7" range and looking on craigslist to see if I could find a Galaxy Tab or Nook Color, both cheap and hackable.

I guess what I am asking is do people like the 7" style? Is it convenient to carry? Anything I should consider before pulling the trigger?
[General Questions and Answers] Karmaflute:
If you have an early upgrade available try an Android phone before you jump on a tablet. You said "touch" not "phone" but since you're asking about a "tablet" for ways to organize your life, maybe an Android phone instead of a tablet would be better.

With a phone you can put it into your pocket and it's easier to carry around. I may get a tablet eventually but I don't think I'm ready to jump into something that big just yet.

If you do want to try a tablet, I would recommend that you at least limit yourself to something that can run Cyanogenmod so you have a reasonable chance of rooting and updating it in the future.

Supported tablets include:

Advent Vega

Viewsonic G-Tablet

B&N Nook Color

If you read a lot, a bigger screen is a must. I tried reading books with the Kindle and Aldiko apps on my phone, and eyestrain became a problem, so I purchased a Kindle. I'm thinking about ditching the Kindle for a Nook Color, rooting it and using the device as an all-purpose tablet.
[General Questions and Answers] C4m3r0n:
I have an iPod touch as well as a Android phone (Droid X) and my wife has an iPad. The iPad is great but I would rather have an Android tablet. If I had the choice between an iPod and an Android tablet, I would take the tablet. I would get a WiFi only version since I already have a phone. I would likely go with a 7" tablet. As I said the iPad is great and I do like the screen size, but it is bulky if you are going to be holding it for long periods of time.

[General Questions and Answers] DjMikeWatt:
I'm trying to flash a new ROM and noticed that my recovery screen now only has 4 options:

reboot system now

reinstall packages

delete all user data

delete cache data

That's it. I'm running TeamWhiskey's Onyx.R4.2

So where did all my other recovery options go? How do I flash a new ROM when I only have those options? I'm pretty confused here.

So I followed reinstall packages (which did nothing earlier) and now see that this is my path. I always figure it out about five minutes after I post in a help forum.
[General Questions and Answers] Karmaflute:
Maybe an OTA replaced your recovery partition? If you want your other options, try reinstalling ClockworkMod.
[General Questions and Answers] DjMikeWatt:
UPDATE

Here is the latest problem I'm having with this.

Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)

(Device or resource busy)

E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip

Installation aborted.

Why is this happening? I have the ROM zip that I've renamed "update.zip" and it's located on the drive... anyway, this is really kinda frustrating. I don't understand what is happening.

-----------------------------------------------

EDIT:

So, once in ClockworkMod Recovery, I apply the update.zip. It displays something quickly (too quickly to read) and then reboots into Android Recovery. It does this same process every time. I simply cannot get this phone to flash this new ROM.

Did you ever try reinstalling packages (you have to do it more than once and you must also have to update.zip file on your internal SD card)
[General Questions and Answers] DjMikeWatt:
Thanks for the link. I had done the Reinstall Packages thing.

I got to the point where I just wanted to Odin back to stock and start from there. I downloaded the files and did everything as instructed. The problem occurred when I tried to connect the phone in Download Mode with Odin running. My computers (two different Win7-32 PCs) said that the USB device was not recognized or had malfunctioned. I had just installed the drivers not five minutes before and it still would not work. I tried multiple USB jacks and I tried manually pointing to the drivers when necessary.

Anyway, none of that worked. I had a soft brick. I ended up stopping by a store and played dumb: "Hey, my phone just won't turn on." They looked at it, tried a couple things, then ordered me a free replacement under warranty. Problem solved.

It sucks to brick a phone, but I'm not afraid of it! That's how we learn, I suppose. Thanks for your help and the link... I'll read that before working on the new one!

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fujisd:
Hi,

I'm new to the scene and I wanted to try out CM7 booting from SD before I install it to the internal memory. I am having a problem pasting the CM7 zip file on the card. The instructions state "Put the file to the SD card (there is only one partition). Don't change the name of the file."

After I burned the installer image to the card it only shows up as having a capacity of 115mb. It is a sandisk 16gb card. From what I read I need to access another partition, but I dont know how to do this.

Could someone help me out?

Thanks in advance.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angomy:
If you are seeing a partition named "boot" that is 115MB, that is correct. The CM7 zips are all around 95-97MB. You will not be able to see the other partitions in Windows without additional software (Windows only sees the first active partition on a drive).

(You will, however, see the storage partition (in your case ~13.5GB) if you use USB storage mode to connect your Nook to your PC once your CM7 SD install is set up).

Yep, the "only one partition" that you see is the "only one partition" that you need. Put the zip in there, put the card in your NC, and gogogo.

Thanks for everyone's reply. I was able to get everything working. I actually just had to rename the zip file to Update-CM.zip for everything to run correctly.

[Milestone XT720 General] androidlover123:
Do you need to back up apps found in link2sd with titanium backup if you want to restore it after flashing a new rom?? I mean its already in the sd card so do i need to back it up? Any help would be appreciated!!
[Milestone XT720 General] jayarmstrong:
Yes, you still need to back up your apps. The files in the 2nd partition will probably get wiped if you flash your phone and the links on the internal memory will definitely get wiped.

Easy steps:

backup your apps & data with titanium

flash and install new ROM

[preferably] change setting so that all apps are installed to internal memory

install link2sd and install script. Reboot.

restore apps from Titanium. Note: if you run out of internal memory while Titanium is reinstalling all your old apps, it will proceed to install the remaining apps on your SD using a2sd.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Another reason to do it via backup is that if you're using link2sd's dalvik-cache linking, the optimized dalvik may not match the new ROM. For example, I'm not sure I would wouldn't want to take optimized dalvik generated on a JIT-enabled 2.1 and run it on a 2.2.1 system or vice versa.
[Milestone XT720 General] optimusodd:
What do you mean by "install script" in the 4th step ? Titanium Backup's Backup / Restore is so confusing with Link2SD :eek:

Thanks
[Milestone XT720 General] jayarmstrong:
Sorry, but that was so long ago I don't recall any of the details.
[Milestone XT720 General] optimusodd:
Haha yeah it's been almost 5 years :D

Anyway I have resolved the "Link2SD +TB" backup and restore issue.

I mean ... I saved the screenshot pictures. I want to display the Picture (included home screen and phone ), not only home screen picture.

I hope you can get my meaning, my english is poor...
[Android Themes] Dirk:
I think what the OP is asking is how would somebody go about creating an image that includes the physical phone; not just a screen grab of what is displayed on the phone. In the images he attached as examples you are seeing the whole device, not just a screen grab.

I've often wondered how people go about this myself. I guess you just find a decent hi-res shot of the phone and Photoshop a screen cap onto it, then 'shop the outcome onto a nice background?
[Android Themes] eatingking:
Yes!!! you get my meaning!

However, I am disappointed. I think some website will help me to create the image if I provided the screenshot and select my phone model.
[Android Themes] Dirk:
If it were me i would just find a nice picture of the phone, resize the screen capture to fit the screen area on that picture and paste it on, and then paste the resulting image onto a background. Using a drop shadow around the phone image would give a sense of depth to the whole thing, making it look like the phone was above the background.

There's probably better ways of doing it but i'm just a n00b in these matters.
[Android Themes] kil43:
Ah i see. Yeah these are all achieved in photoshop and to be honest are simple to create.

If you are feeling a bit daring you could also create the phone though with the below a base guide for creating the whole image (i know the tutorial is on the ipoop but it'll serve its purpose as an example i suppose :));

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isikh:
Hey guys, as far as the Nexus One and CM 7 goes, what are the optimal settings to keep checked in CM settings, and what's the best kernel/settings for speed, but great battery life? I downloaded and installed Pershoot's kernel. Please let me know because I need the phone for long periods of time for two weeks, but I can't get an extended battery. I'm new to the N1, hence why I ask you all and can't test on my own. Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
CM7 is pretty well pre-configured for great battery life and great performance. I don't know if there is much you could change that would show any benefit within the install.

I think redstar has been creating some of the most popular kernels as of late. Great performance and battery life (from what I read).

Also, if you aren't running the nightlies, I can highly recommend it. There have been some substantial performance enhancements and battery savings that have been a result of some major bug fixes. Build #87 has been working great for me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isikh:
Thanks so much, but could anyone else please provide me with further/specific/good cyanogen mod settings for the N1, such as what to check, how much VM heap, etc?

I'm gonna stick with pershoot for kernels, as i use him for the G2, and before the G1.

I freakin' love nightlies, BUT, the reason I'm running stable is because I'm leaving the country for two weeks, and I won't have access and the freedom to change my ROM due to not having a computer all the time. Hence the stable version - I do love nightlies though!

To reiterate, what are the best CM settings for CM7? Thanks in advance, guys!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
Well, if you are going to run stable, do a search for the "wonk fix" and flash that zip. It is one of the major fixes in the nightlies that improves battery life.

I'm still not sure that there are any settings you could really play around with that would show any tangible benefit.

And with build #87, it has been rock solid for me. I thought the ADW EX transistions in the past were smooth. You don't need to constantly update the nightlies if you can find a good one. Just sit it out until you feel like updating again. And #87 is a great one to be at.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isikh:
Sounds good, man. Thanks for your help and telling me about the wonk fix! Although I'm not 100% sure what it's for.
