[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PillClinton:
The first custom rom I flashed was KaosFroyo v39. Compared with the stock system, this was a major improvement. Very snappy & responsive, without all the bloatware. After a while though, Kaos stopped updating the rom. I'm not sure why, but things seemed to slow down after a while - the noticeable increase in performance I received from KaosFroyo seemed to decline. Still, an overall solid Froyo rom.

A few weeks back, I loaded GSB v3.5 (Gingerbread) & have been very impressed. Upgraded to v3.6 & haven't looked back since. That rom, combined with Cache2Cache & the v6 Supercharger have made this phone perform better than it ever has for me. I'm holding off on the v3.7 update for now just to see if there's any major bugs/flaws, but I don't expect any - workshed has done a great job!

As others have mentioned, each phone seems to perform differently, but this setup has been tits for me. Thanks to all the developers!!

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stellar313:
Gingerbread - Macrom is running the best on mine. I also believe that phones seem to "like" some ROMs more than others, but the Gingerbread ROMs that are out are all great.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjpritch25:
I'm like most, I prefer the AOSP gingerbread roms. I would probably try Condemned, MacrRoms, and GSB. I don't like the Sense Roms, but that's just me. GinTazz with sense and gingerbread ran very well, but my preference is LauncherPro.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwnfdrknss:
GSB (GingerShedBread) v3.7 - CM-7.1.0 RC1. Been running this on my mothers phone months and it came back from the dead. Quick, good battery life, and stable. I also ran this on my OG droid and im now running CM7 on my thunderbolt. Try a few different ROMs and see what works best for the user and the phone. good luck

I had camera issues with GinSenTazz, like it was tracing around the edges of objects. Not that it's Tazz's fault, its just when you throw Sense into the mix, it adds a whole new layer of possible problems you have to resolve.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prsguitaruser:
I like Gin-Sen-Tazz a lot. It's stable, but has a few kinks that are still getting worked out. GSB is my fave though. That has been my main rom since feb. You can't ask for a better rom.

Hello all, I've used the Kitchen on every Streakdroid rom but do they work the same way on stock roms (354)?

-Can I change the color of the taskbar with Kitchen on a stock rom?

-Does anything work/not work on stock roms?

-Can someone point me to the appropriate file from the stock rom to use with Kitchen?

Thanks in advance Streakers!

So for a while i have talked about painting my housing and what not and now that school is out i will be doing it this weekend. Ive got the tools all i need is the paint so my question is this. I was planning on giving it a carbon fiber effect (found it on instrucatbles.com if anyone was wondering) and i was wondering what color scheme i should use. My options are white base with black main, black base with white main, silver base with black main, or silver base with white main. If anyone does not now what im talking about then just go search carbon fiber (in case there were any ultra noobs). Also i will be painting the buttons on the front but i was wondering should i just make it straight one color (white/silver/black depending on my color scheme) or should i also give it a carbon fiber effect? Thanks guys and i will upload pics of every step

[Samsung Mesmerize] veteranmina:
Okay, before i started rooting and putting roms on my phone. it turned off pretty quick. Now that ive rooted and put the Heinz 57 rom on it, it turns off slow. not the graphics slow but the lights stay on forever then finally turn off 10-20 seconds later. is there something wrong that i dont know about?
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Mine does the same. Don't know if its a issue or not as I have mostly just ignored it.

Tap-a-Talked
[Samsung Mesmerize] Masta Of Evil:
Mine does the same thing, takes 10-15 second to turn off after samsung logo disappears.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
That is an issue I noticed with certain kernels (last night I finally got to root and flash my girl's phone, tried using the Peanutbutta jelly time kernel and had this issue with the stock rom, went to jt's TW kernel and no issues.) It's a small flaw in using fascinate firmware, there is a slight difference somewhere that is causing it (you'll also sometimes see some odd things happen with power options)
[Samsung Mesmerize] evilntention:
Yea I get both issues, the lights and the power options being spotty, clicking reboot and it tries and gets back to the samsung logo and shuts off, I mean it always comes right back on, and sometimes they work great, like recovery and download options I rarely have trouble with but the reboot is spotty at best. I always figured it was cause I flash and try almost everything.
[Galaxy S II General] ermacwins:
*Hope this is a right tag*

Anyway what the Galaxy S2 is missing is notification for missed calls, email. sms etc. Many of you might know of lilHermit who made the awesome Trackball Alert Pro for the Nexus One. https://market.android.com/details?...droid.TrackballAlertPro&feature=search_result

Well he has made a similar app for the LG Optimus 2X which flashes the led buttons for notification and he is willing to bring it to the Galaxy S2 :D

then recently said

Well Rom devs, please contact him to add this

Cool stuff although there is an app called 'Flashnotify' on the market which does this already and works with SGS2.

But what is he going to work on ? I mean there is no led or track ball in G S2 for him to work on.

Or am i missing something big

[Galaxy S II General] urmybaby:

[Galaxy S II General] Bratag:
Since the screen is AMOLED and since you can turn on red/blue pixels individually and they take very little power. A better idea might be to actually put something on the screen instead.
[Galaxy S II General] chamonix:
That would be NoLED

More promising imho would be to change the management of the capacitive buttons to be lit while phone is sleeping. Lighting them when phone is on is easy so patterns could be used for notifications.
[Galaxy S II General] roakes:
I'm a fan of the NoLED app for notifications but I would certainly like to see a capacitive button notification like on the LG2X (I had one a couple of months back but sent it back as faulty and got my SGS2)

You want BLN, which was being worked on by neldar.

[Galaxy S II General] bilboa1:
some stuff is disabled when the phone is not connected to usb thus the led don't turn on when the phone is off / stuff don't work (did check in that git and it doesnt fix it)

til someone has time to figure it out, no bln. i think neldar has been busy, and so am i, these days at least

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shovett:
Hello,

I have my HD rooted running LeeDroid ROM. ENG-S off and RADIO-S off.

I have a backup of my original Voda ROM.

When I flash back to the Voda ROM I get the OTA update for 2.3.3. Can I install this update, or will this stuff the ENG S and RADIO S settings I have that allows me to install custom ROMS?

Do I run the risk of bricking the phone by installaing the update.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smirge:
No you cannot install an OTA on a rooted phone - you'll most likely end up bricking it.

you have to RUU your phone to original non rooted state and then root it again using Gingerbread rooting process...

Edit : Sry it's late :D If you do revert back to stock using Voda or whatever then yes you can - even with ENG and Radio settings....i think perhaps even the Voda has the correct radio for your phone so it'll just install that - no issues - i think :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shovett:
thanks

thank you for that...I thought so...but wanted to check.

I was interested in seeing the performance of the Voda update against the ROM I am using.

Glad I asked as I had the update downloading and canceled it!

Cheers

EDIT: Oh okay. The backup I did of the Voda ROM is a factory reset version with just CWM and Superuser installed. I did the backup through CWM.

I rebooted multiple times and deleted and reset up everything including wifi networks and logins for the phone. Nothing could get it back.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jptech7:
Yes, it is fast, but the quadrent numbers don't mean anything (for any phone). Overclocking won't do much for a hummingbird either. What really matters is that it doesn't lag and is always quick to do everything... with ComRom + OTB usually is.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ireash:
Ya I know it is almost useless but I like to see the the improvement when going from stock to root with different kernels. At least it appears to show improvement...:D. I dont know Iam a Newb when it comes to this stuff:cool:

I do know that my phone is kicking some rear end right now! Thanks again guys!

btw....How would Overclocking not make your phone faster? doesnt this allow the CPU to process IO faster? just curious? why do people overclock then?

Thanks again for all the info and help!!!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ireash:
Ya it is because I was really at 1000MHz:eek:

I forgot to "Apply now" when I set the voltages and ran the test. So you are right!;)

So how does one measure the improvements with Kernels and such? Just see if the phone is faster?

Alright guys, I just saw pictures of the new Droid Bionic and I gotta say.....WOW.

If it has unlocked bootloader so u can run cm7 then thats a different story but dont hold ur breath.

It's all personal preference. If you want to shell out the money for a bionic go ahead. I am quite happy with my thunderbolt. I really don't see how my experience can be improved much. But then again personal experiences vary.
[Thunderbolt General] htcimagio:
My expierence with the TB has been great but im definitly worried about our longevity because every time i think about it, the TB just seems like a test bed device for 4G. Ill be honest, the only thing holding me back is HTC Sense because I love the heck out of HTC Sense but I really need that next gen power.

No Brainer

HTC Thunderbolt

1) When we need to have conference call we use anyone else's phone because the external speaker on the TB sounds like crap.

2) The ear speaker is so high pitched and scratchy sounding it actually hurts!

3) Mine has a bad head phone amp. (can't add base).

4) battery lasts 4 hours.

5) Takes forever to find satellites.

6) Random reboots.

7) Who needs sense when 3rd party launchers and widgets are better and more configurable.

I could keep going but you're probably bored already. The only thing good about the HTC is it's looks. I'd go for the Moto or wait for a dual core Samsung.
[Thunderbolt General] sublimaze:
@mcargil05

It sounds like you've had nothing but problems. I am surprised you haven't traded the TB for something else. My speakerphone & ear speaker are no better or worse than any other phone I've used. When I stream music over audiogalaxy thru my car aux port, it sounds as good as my ipod. If your phone amp is bad, that should be covered by warranty & you should be able to swap phones. If you're only getting 4 hours between charges, that's definitely a hardware issue or bad battery, or both. I got 7+ hrs on stock before flashing a battery-sipping kernel (16-20 hrs now). GPS lock in 3-7 secs depending on whether I'm indoors. I had a couple of random reboots right after flashing GB-based rom, but nothing since. It's true that Sense is kinda "take it or leave it", not a lot of customizing options there. But I think it's pretty good for a stock app & it does what I need it to do. I used Launcher Pro on my Captivate & Nexus One, and I don't miss it enough to ditch Sense. Some ppl absolutely despise Sense, so there will always be demand for alternative launchers & widgets. Good luck with your TB, if you decide to keep it.
[Thunderbolt General] JFMFT:
I would trade my Bolt for a Bionic IF the bootloader is unlocked. And I wouldn't be an early adopter on the Bionic. I would only buy it after CM7 is stable on the phone. And by that time... Kal El Tegra 3 phones will be out nearly (they're due by X-Mas, and the Bionic isn't due out until August).

I would say, if you have a Thunderbolt, it's probably best to wait until Xmas/CES time the end of this year/early next year. There are going to be some crazy phones out in 6-9 months from now.
[Thunderbolt General] clintonroche:
I am good with the Thunderbolt until early next year when we have a new crop of phones. I wanted to the Moto, but was on blackberry and didn't want to wait until the moto dropped when we kept getting pushed back to get 4g and Android goodness.

The battery could be better but I have 3 spare batteries and an external charger for them so it is all good.
[Thunderbolt General] nosympathy:
Personally the screen is the killer for me. The crappy light leakage, terrible in bright lighting, and don't get me started on the spot lights. Terrible blacks. I bought a $4300 65" plasma to get an amazing picture, why would I not want that kind of picture on my phone if possible.

Love my TBolt. Everything has been great with it so far. All the whining you are hearing are from people who haven't tinkered with their phone. Things like low battery life can be solved in a matter of minutes and a google search. I am now going on 10 hours with 65% battery left, which is better than my old X.

Plus I got it on a 2 year plan so 1. I will

hopefully

be grandfathered into 4G and 2. Will have plenty of time to see how new phones are going to develop before jumping right into them (Kind of like what I did with my TB).

I see nothing but good for the TB for at least another year. Soon the RIL will be released alongside of Gingerbread with 4G speeds. Come on you can't go wrong.
