it depends on how you use your phone, imho i like both im currently on cm7 in trigger i like the speed stability battery life functions and all of that stuff and in cm7 i like the update process since its easy, the new functions and so much more :D
[Vibrant General] JD76:
Thank you for your thorough review. I will surely try CM7
[Vibrant General] JD76:
I need some assistance. Im trying to flash CM7. The directions state to flash ClockworkMod Recovery from ROM Manager Premium. When I do, an option for Vibrant MTD isnt listed...how do I get it to give me that option?
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
as long as u have rom manager premium all u have to do is click on flash clockwork recovery it will be at very top of rom manager page. Then it will ask u wht type of phone u pick vibrantmtd for cm7 and then u pick 3x NOT 2x. Then after thats done go to download rom and pick cm7 nightlies
[Vibrant General] JD76:
Hey movieaddict... I did upgrade to Rom Premium but unfortunately VibrantMTD isnt an option.. Perhaps my Trigger 3.2 bootloader isnt a Froyo bootloader? (If the ROM installed its own)

Update: This is one of the EDT reps wrote on their facebook page: Trigger does not contain one. I believe you can find one in one of the older ODIN packages posted.

So I guess I need to ODIN to stock in order to have a Froyo bootloader? Which is odd because I have ODIN'd to stock in the past...

Anyone have any recommendations?
[Vibrant General] JD76:
I got it.. I had to reinstall Rom Manager which is totally a newer version then the one I had on my phone

What is the diff between CWR 2.x and 3.x? The thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1061889 indicates you should choose 2.x, which is what I have done.

Thanks.
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
ive always chosen 3x on cm7 and on 2.2 roms i choose 2x and i havent had one problem yet with cm7!
[Vibrant General] eweo911:
I had problems with CM7 to where I had to reflash the nightly, well dayly for it to continue to work. It would keep FC everything. It would not remain stable. I stopped updating when #11 hit since my voice calls wouldn't work. I suppose that issue is fixed by now though. That was my experience with CM7 and I don't suppose I will go back until 2.3 is released.
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
What I don't understand is all the problems people are having with cm7 nightlies? Its pretty straightforward! I prefer cm7 over trigger
[Vibrant General] peiqijiang@qq.com:
i like CM7 more
[Vibrant General] androidmonkey:
I agree. I had a lot of FCs with Trigger. Now, I have to say though, I did a ODIN back to stock before flashing CM7. I didnt do this when flashing Trigger though. Trigger worked fine for a week then started FCs on everything.

I posted this in the EVO forum already to no avail, but here is what is happening.

I have an HTC Evo 4G running stable CM7. When I try to save an image thru tapatalk, it says saved successfully, but then I cannot find it on my SD Card. It doesn't show up in the "tapatalk_download" folder when I look thru root explorer and it does not show up in Gallery either. Here is what I have tried so far to fix this and none have worked:

1. Clear application data for Tapatalk

2. Uninstall, cache and dalvick cache wipe, reinstall Tapatalk

3. Change download folder thru Tapatalk settings to another folder

4. Uninstall, delete "tapatalk_download" folder, complete wipe, reflash rom, reinstall Tapatalk

5. Restore backup from a few weeks ago when everything was working

None of these solved the problem. It is like Tapatalk is saving the image, but just not saving it to the correct folder. After I try to save, I go in to Gallery and there is a blank folder called "sdcard" that wasn't there before the save from Tapatalk, but there is nothing in the folder, only a blank picture.....

I am stumped.....Let me know if you guys have any ideas.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SheenaIsAPunkRocker:
Is there a quick way to (re)install all my apps after changing ROMs?

Been using Pongster's awesome NAND HyperDroid build since v5 and have been upgrading along the way by reinstalling the data section from my CWM backup. Recently on v11 I started having a few glitches and upgrading to v12 only made matters much worse. I just want to start a fresh on v12, but is there a way quicker than writing down all my apps then selecting each from the market. Have looked in Android Market on using desktop PC and it only lists 11 apps. Thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] p107r0:
I believe Titanium Backup Pro is the most popular choice, it can restore all your apps and data automatically, plus there's an option to repair missing market links.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
That rom uses an ext partition, so as well as restoring the data partition after a fresh flash, if you also restore the sd-ext partition (same method), all your installed apps will be restored, complete with all their settings still in place, since you are restoring data too.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SheenaIsAPunkRocker:
D'oh, and double d'oh. Thanks for the tips. I backed everything up using Titanium backup. Being running HyperDroid without an EXT partition so while I was in the process of installing v12 again, I thought I'd use the handy partition function in ClockworkMod. However, what it fails to mention is in re-partition my SD Card for me it would handily wipe everything :( :( :( Looks like I'm hosed now anyway!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
nooOO!, hah, oh well, it happens, and theres no better learning curve than seeing mistakes in action.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SheenaIsAPunkRocker:
I literally had the SD card in my desktop to copy everything on it, but before I did, I put the SD back into the phone to do something else ... never got around to doing that copy. At least phone numbers are backed up on Google (I hope!), but I guess I'll have to start again on Tower Raiders 2, that's the real loss!! ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
since you are at a fresh start, you COULD try reinstalling all the apps, and THEN restore the data partition, which (unless im wrong) holds settings? ,,though i know some stuff uses folders on the fat32 part of the sd card too, , so may not work, , worth a try if you're in an investigative frame of mind.

You lost me at "decompile"
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] CruzECO13:
I think by that he means to open the systemui.apk

I used 7zip to open a cm7 nightly just now and it's located in the system/app folder. Inside the .apk theres:

res (folder)

AndroidManifest.xml

classes.dex

resources.arsc

Inside the res folder:

anim (folder)

drawable (folder)

drawable-hdpi (folder)

layout (folder)

xml (folder)

Hopefully some themers can get some pretty nice/cool things done with this.

Click on the image for the videos.

I know I'm still on 2.2 and that's because I would rather have function than the newest software right now. Also, this isn't too hard to do for froyo if you are familiar with apkmanager. It took me all of 2/3 minutes to change my daily to the matrix for testing. The best way for something like this to be flashable is if it was incorporated into a stock framework but since many of us use power controls, modded frameworks, etc. it can't just be a one framework fits all kind of deal unless the person intends on adding it themselves.

My daily animation:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] theidlemonk:
yes this does work...but it all depends on how many images are in your animation as per your rom. I tried it on CM7...worked like a charm. Had luck with 6 to 7 image animations for now, but a theme chooser theme can overwrite the status bar transparency and the animation gets hidden.

[Milestone XT720 General] b_lk160:
Hi,

I tried to share my internet connection from my PC to my XT720. Tried two PC apps - some from Tenda (WiFi card manufacturer) and one from Ralink (WLAN utility). The result is the same: the phone finds the network and connects. I can even browse and search apps on market, but neither can I download them (no data downloaded, automatically paused after a while) or browse the web (tried both stock browser and Opera Mini). Just once it downloaded about 500 kB (1/3 of the Adobe Reader) and loaded Google.

Now when typing the message I tried to run the web again and it works - not amazingly fast, but does, but no market downloads though. Really do not understand, trying to make it work for hours...
[Milestone XT720 General] b_lk160:

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidLD:
Nookcolor with MN 4.5.25, 1.1 overclocked kernel. I had the market problem, but 4.5.25 cleared it up. It worked fine for a week or so. Then yesterday all of "My apps" disappeared from market except the several I paid for. I did the 4.5.25 market fix several times and the rename Vending.apk fix a couple of times, no cigar (I'm aware of the risk of appearing insane, so I won't keep doing the same thing over and over, at least not too many times). On the desktop Android Market, my account, "My Orders" shows only these same paid apps and two free apps (with no rhyme or reason as to which two, except both have been uninstalled by me). If this isn't clear to you, I am talking about the list of the apps I have downloaded on market. All of my apps are working fine on the NC.

If I find the rest of my apps on Android Market on the desktop, all are marked "installed". But they simply will not appear, no matter what I do, on the NC or on the "My Orders" screen on the desktop.

Short of downloading each again (my time, ambition, patience, and data allowance are limited) how can I restore the apps to list on "My apps" on the NC and "My Orders" on the desktop?

I have a Titanium backup taken a few days before the failure. Is this information kept in some data area in the NC and sync'ed to market? Could I restore an app or that app's data and get my apps back in sync? I hesitate to restore everything, as I am beginning to believe that I am digging a hole.

Waiting patiently for some informative responses, DaveD
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidLD:
I haven't resolved this problem, and am still waiting for suggestions. In the meantime, an additional problem. Whenever I install a new app, downloaded in the standard manner from market, market will then appear briefly when I try to load it again, then disappear. I then have to restore the market.apk with Titanium, after which i will work again until the next time I install an app. I will now see in the my apps section the same several paid for apps plus any additional that I have installed since the problem first occurred.

Please help if you can. I would like to fix this. DaveD
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atrociousNK:
I am trying to figure out the best way to backup my data and apps.

I am between using Titannium Backup or Backup Pro.

Any suggestions....?

Also,

Do you know what's the easiest way to reboot into recovery mode?

I'm running CM7 off SD card. Tried the Power and N button combination, with no luck also tried selecting reboot into recovery mode from CM7 desktop.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidLD:
Which backup?

Since no one else is responding, I'll give you my recommendation based on limited experience. I like Titanium, and after installing it quickly paid for the Pro version, for the simple reason that it allows multiple backups, which I consider necessary in any backup program. I don't know about backup pro. But overall, among the two dozen or so apps I run, both free and paid, Titanium Pro appears to be the highest quality of them all.

Regarding rebooting into recovery mode, I don't know how else to reboot :confused:. See the next item in this thread for additional info on that.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidLD:
Well, since no one is either interested enough or can help, I took the plunge and fixed it myself. If there is any interest, here is the only answer I could come up with.

First, I tried selectively restoring system apps with Titanium. I ended up restoring 20 or so. All that did was got me deeper into it. At the end I could no longer download apps--it would come up with the infamous "starting download" and that was the end of it.

So I decided to start from scratch, attempting to revert the Nook to it's original 1.1 out-of-the-box unregistered version. I followed the directions in the Nook Wiki (don't remember the two items and don't have time to go looking, as will be the case with a lot of the explanation below). I started with the ADB interface and entered the reboot failure 8 count from the desktop, upon which it rebooted, but did so into ClockWorkMod recovery, and recovered to the MN 4.5.25 system I was trying to get rid of. So, ignorant as I am about how all this works, I did the eight reboot failures manually, same thing, same thing. Now, I guess I could have gone in and uninstalled ClockWorkMod, but didn't think of that. So next time I tried it (third), I had recovery reset all data and cache. Then when I rebooted I was in NookColor stock 1.2, without rooting. But every time I tried to get back to out-of-the-box 1.1, I entered recovery again.

Now, withe the expectation that I could reinstall MN for the express purpose of killing ClockWorkMod recovery, then go about following the directions in Wiki which should work, I MN'ed it. Upon reemerging into MN, market worked! So I installed the 1.1Ghz kernel, and started reinstalling the apps, which I am still doing. No need to go back to the 1.1 clean level, as far as I have seen. Some of the old apps are still there, but most are gone. Again, no rhyme or reason as to which apps. But it works.

I could reinstall the old apps from Titanium, which I did for Dolphin merely to get the latest Beta 5.0.6 back and for the bookmarks, but for the most part am reinstalling from market, as I need for market to be aware of the apps I have.

Bottom line, it is much easier to wipe the Nook (provided you get ClockWorkMod out of the way first) and reinstall apps then to spend hours upon hours trying to figure out how to fix a market problem. Market is nice and solid with 4.5.25; I hope it stays that way this time (I don't know what caused the original failure, but I am highly suspicious that it was operator error)! I guess a clean wipe and reinstall to 4.5.25, including an overclocking kernel and apps, will take an hour or so, less if you reinstall apps from backups.

DaveD
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boxcar8028:
titanium pro is the only way to go. buy it!. I had back up pro before and had to uninstall it because it would not reinstall from time to time. titanium pro always works and with the pay version you can batch activities not like the free version where you'll have to do it one by one. anyway, if you restoring with titanium pro remember to restore apps only and not the data. you don't want to pass on bad data to your fresh flash.

with the market did you try to clear cache in application manager? sometime this will help. go to settings / application / manage application / view all and scroll down to market and clear cache and data. I also think you'll need to clear cache and data with google services framework, but I forget, not sure.

for flashing nighties (only if you're going from cm to cm) all you have to do is wipe partition cache, not data and wipe dalvik cache and flash your new nightie. all of your app will be there. I hope this helped a little. good luck. :)

Ok, I need to stop you right there. I've seen TONS of people post wrong information on the whole Droid 2 / Droid X bootstrap and what works with what, so don't feel singled out.

Droid X bootstrap works perfectly fine on GB. You just need to disable USB Debugging in Settings first. If you don't, it won't boot into recovery. Droid 2 bootstrap works as well, but if he already has Droid X bootstrap, there's no reason to make him search for Droid 2.

-SBF back to Froyo (google)

-Root with really any method, nothing special

-Install d2 bootstrapper as I posted above

-Install rooted OTA from TeamBlackHat aka mydroidworld.com
