I prefer mik's because andy's sucked my phone dry in under 20h.

I flashed and reflashed it and still nothing. Made sure to delete, wipe everything, format everything, and still 10% battery drain every hour.

I don't know what's wrong with it but something is definitely wrong.

I installed mik's and everything is back to normal with good battery life.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] desperate250:
One should consider the differences:

Njoelns GB misses a lot of system apps

Andys GB has crappy bluetooth audio, so you cannot use it hands-free

Miks GB seems to have the most features

I had very bad battery drain with Miks and Andys ROMs, even after calibrating, but I stopped testing them 4 weeks ago (need a workable phone sometimes ;-), so they may have changed that.

I am back to Ciaox-Froyo, which has very good battery life for my usage profile.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jaani:
Using Mik's CM7..havnt used any other..its almost complete & i am lovin it .. :)

oh good to know thanks
[Optimus One, P500, V General] AmselFR25:
I tried mik's and andy's ROMs, and i really liked both of them, they are as good each other.

But i prefer andy's ROM because it includes the new LG theme, and i really like that one :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] alfiemenace:
thanks for all your responses! :) but, is andy's kernel better than franco's? i want to flash a new rom because i want to experience something new for my phone :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Adren022:
Mik's ROM

(+)

stable

more apps

performs well on all games

(-)

Battery becomes too hot sometimes

Battery Drain is huge during calls other times its fine

Noejn's ROM

(+)

the interface seems to be very smooth

gaming performance is same as MIK's, i found no difference between the two rom's performance wise

(-)

nothing really, has less apps but if you have titanium backup you can load all your apps and data anyway

some tabs in setting like volume and display brightness give you force closes

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

i don't use GPS, and Data and Sync are always off both perform same battery back up wise

and i use franco kernel most updated one

Going to try Andy's ROM in a few mins :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ViTAMiNCHEG:
If you are using andy's rom then best kernel to use is andy's kernel.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] naturist:
Andy's rom:

1. Stable

2. Excellent performance in games/No lag whatsoever

3. No battery drain if you calibrate the battery, and let the battery to settle down.

4. Gingerbread makes it special :p

5. Nice new icons/style which makes the rom more sweet

6. I love it. :D

-

Nothing except the known bugs posted by Andy.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Adren022:
using Andy's ROM right now, Everything's fine no problems so far

i have not yet done any battery calibration.

+ Battery drain 2% 7hrs (i.e. not used the phone a all). Runs cooler than MIK's i think, i' m not yet completely sure

+ Performance isn't any different from other GB rom's, its just as good

- screen take a little more time to wake with the push of button, but can get used to it

its a actually a difficult choice to select one best GB ROM out of three... all are good :)

Have you guys tried the N.O.V.A. game that comes with the phone? The quality is amaaaaaazing. On the main menu they have the "more games" option, but when trying to buy another game does anyone else get a "You do not have permission to view this page" error?

The games look really high quality and I would love to see what else they have.

Hi all,

Im looking to install RCMix S v2.0, I read somewhere that I might need clockworkmod 3+ installed to be able to do this.

I currently have Alpharev CWM 2.5.0.7, wondering if this will suffice?

Thanks
[Desire General] kuroneko007:
Yes, that's fine. Overall feedback has actually been that AmonRa is the best, but CWM 2.5 works too.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NintendoSpy:
I am planning on putting the OC kernel on my nook but I noticed it said that it required the new u-boot from B&N. Since I've been running CM7 (7.0.3) for a while now I never really felt the need to try the new update. My boot screen still says "Touch the future of reading" and I was wondering if I am still able to install 2.6.32. This is probably just me being paranoid but I just wanted to make sure. Thanks!

Now that the GPS fix has come into play, I have been thinking of going into 2.3land again. My question is: I do not want to lose my saved game data [esp black pegasus] by upgrading to ginger. Other than TB, how can I backup and restore apps and data without screwing up the rom?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomadrider123:
only restore what green in tb otherwise you are asking for trouble. Do a nan back up first tho.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipetloudog:
Crap. Most of my gameloft and glu games are the crossed out black and whites.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
just click them and it should say install with data or no or something like that on tb?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipetloudog:
that's the problem. You can still install them on a 2.3 rom but the data saved from 2.2 isnt compatable and bugs it up...........

I think?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
I've never experienced this with any of my apps. For example Angrybirds. For most /data/app it should be fine. Just becareful of anything that is system related (ie dialer, settings, etc).

yah listen to binary
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ali1276:
All gameloft games save your data to the internal sd card, that way if you upgrade all you need to do is install the game again. However, it will tell you to download data, it is only 3 mb. But all your data will stay the same.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipetloudog:
So dont restore as a batch, take the time to pick em off my sd individually and I wont have the same problems?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
Use filter.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwes1020:
I went to 2.3.4 and restored batch app+data,no problem. I only use it to restore my games though. Black pegasus and a few others. What I always do is download the newest titanium off the market before any restores/backups. I have never had any problems with apps+data doing it this way

I have 6 (yes SIX) back up batteries for my G2X, because of the Miserable battery life this phone has. Well, I took my phone off the charger at 8am this morning and it's STILL going now at 11PM! Hell, it used to be at 65% at 11AM, this is amazing! I just turned off the vibration for the softkeys and swype, but would that alone return such awesome battery life? BTW, this has not seen the charger all day, that's all 1 battery. Now all I need is a faster GPS fix and working live backgrounds and I'll be happy.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] se1zure31:
Are you using stock ROM or custom? If custom what kernel? If custom kernel, OC'd? How about the apps frozen/uninstalled? How bout Root? Do you use 4g or WiFi mostly for data? How about your cell strength, more power required at low signal strength!

The point I am getting at is that many things can cause great or horrible battery life on modern phones. It seems that whatever the phone is, someone will complain about battery and say its horrible while others say its just fine.

I have CM7 installed with Faux's 1.5ghz underclocked kernel. I consistently get around 30 hours of battery life. But I also turn off things when I don't need them and don't install apps I don't need/use. I also have light useage compared to others I am sure.

All credit for these Icons goes to the creators of the Sprint Lovers ROMS on XDA as well as the original creator, schmittx. His page can be found here: (link to be added this evening)

You must be running a ROM that has a base of the 4.22.651 release of Gingerbread with Sense. (i.e. stock, Ti-X, etc.)

Just flash in Recovery, Amon RA or Clockwork. Please post any issues or any requests.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pinky059:
Yeah, sorry guys. It was meant for strictly stock release (rooted of course ;)) of GB which was released.

I didn't test it on anything else, but I assumed as long as the .apks I modified weren't too much different than stock (due to modification) on the ROMS with the 4.22 Base, it would work....

Can you send me the ROM you guys are on or point me to a link? I can take care of it for you guys ;)

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pinky059:
If you can, send me the framework-res.apk from the ROM you are on (the original one). You can find it in the /system/framework/ directory using Root Explorer. Copy it to you SD card and upload.

NOTE: Since you flashed my zip, you removed the transparency. However, i can get it back. i just need the original from the ROM, you may have to unzip the ROM and navigate to /system/framework and get me the original.

I will gladly do it for you though ;)

It's from weatherbug application. ;)

Secondly, I no longer have my OG evo :( and I have the 3D. So, in short to all the people that want a version for MikG or SteelH ROM, yes I can do it pretty quickly for you, however, I don't have a way to test it any longer. So, if you would like to test it, please let me know via PM.

This MOD is relatively safe and will not give you a brick, so testing shouldn't be a concern. The absolute worst that I have experienced when testing was a boot loop. If that occurs, just wipe and restore the latest backup. If you are going to test something for anyone EVER, you should always make a backup just before.

[Epic 4G General] josidhe:
A...lot...of apps...have no exit button. Are we using the same Android?

The stock browser, GMail, Google/Amazon app markets, YouTube, and a BUTTload of games all require you to back out, rather than use a distinct exit function.

Words is pretty laggy, and it's not as well rated as Wordfeud, but it's the most used cross-platform Scrabble game in the mobile space, and frankly, if your phone is getting jittery from it, you're doing something else in the background. While it's clunky for me, too, it doesn't bog my entire phone down.

We set a lot of apps up in the background on our phones and have a wonky habit of blaming the most recently installed app for whatever problems we encounter, and the simple reality is that it isn't always just the tylenol causing organ failure when there's the binge drinking you did five minutes earlier.

Just sayin'.

You trust zynga to sit in the background and not actively collect data? It didn't ask that permission for nothing. It doesn't close when you back out. It also breaks ad block on custom roms. That's aggressive, in my book for being scrabble.

[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
I have been runnig it for a while now, with no lag or lockups or such, and I exit the same way as most of my android apps, by the back button

From what I can tell, the reason it runs in the background is so it can keep checking to see if it is your move yet or not, which may be a battery drain, if you have to worry about that sort of thing

It doesnt break AdFree, as I beleive AdFree has been modified to allow Words with freiends to get ads so wwf will work, after massive requests to AdFree to do so.

AdFree will still block all my other ads, but seems to allow the stuff for WWF through, so the game works

I understand that the browser in Windows Phones is based on IE6/7. However, I was under the belief that both IE6 and 7 supported bookmarklets, so I was a bit surprised by the fact that I couldn't open "javascript:" addresses from IE, nor could I open a bookmarklet that I had, well, bookmarked. What gives? Does anyone know if this was removed as a security issue, or whether it will be fixed in Mango?

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyskmaster:
Yea... the rendering engine is based on ie6/7 not the entire browser codebase. The code could be there, however, for speed and bandwith purposes, it is probably all locked down.

If u can, then there is hope for the future of mango which uses extremely similar bits of code and the rendering engine is identical across phone and desktop/laptop browser.

Hope u can get that all to work out for u
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byobge:
Mango does support bookmarklets - apparently not to the extent that the IE9 desktop browser does, but javascript: "addresses" can executed, either from the address bar or from Favorites.

For example, if you're missing the "Forward" menu item, try Favoriting

javascript:history.forward();

(Works for me, at least)
