Get the UberKingdom Sense 3.0 ROM. It's currently the most constantly updated, stable, and sexy ROM IMO :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACD168:
If you want stability with the best features, SkyRaider 4.1 hands down.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kave_in:
Alternative

Welcome to the club, DInc is the best phone I have ever owned. Unrevoked is the way to go for rooting, but if you happen to run into problems with it, like I did. (Complications are typical with windows if that's your thing) another method would be more of a two step, in some respects. download z4root, get a temporary root, then load up rom manager, and flash clockworkmod. You'll probably have to flash cwm multiple times (I had to do it in excess of 20 times before it took) CWM sticks, download unrevokedforever zip from unrevoked.com boot into recovery and flash the unrevokedforever zip to get s-off, reboot again to make sure you have obtained s-off afterwords. If so, you can now flash a rooted ROM (I would recommend CM7, with Chad's Incredikernel) and you're set! Good luck!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMinor205:
Use unrevoked to root.

UBER Kingdom is a good ROM, personally, because I like the Sense AI and I don't see the point in buying an HTC and using a ROM that doens't have Sense. It takes away from the whole experience. CM7 is good too though. Very quick.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oresteez:
Thanks again so much for all of the excellent advice!

I successfully and easily used the unrevoked method to root this past Friday.

I then loaded on SkyRaider 4.0 (I didn't check for the 4.1 update yet...maybe it came out over the weekend like a few people said it would..)

I'm very happy so far! This thing is flying! I was right on the verge of buying a new phone (probably Droid Charge) and now I feel like I don't even have to.

(the only thing still making me want to upgrade is to lock in my unlimited data before they switch to tiered data).

I think I'm going to put my money towards a G tablet now.. :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taurusclimber:
I've been using the Hybrid 1.7 ROM. Runs great.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primo6150:
I like Uber Kingdom also. I think the sense 3.0 is awesome and i really like the lockscreen.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dodgersrgood:
uber kingdom is so nice. i was in the same boat as you, og droid and got a droid inc and it is so so so much better. sense, and especially sense 3.0 is amazing. you should try out uber kingdom
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oresteez:
I've heard a lot of people talk about that one too..thanks..I will definitely try it out :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsruggles:
I did a ton of research and my dINC is the first phone that I have rooted. It was a breeze with unrEVOked3! I immediately made a nandroid backup and made NO modifications for a few days to ensure all was well.

It is indeed a preference thing as far as which rom to use. In my opinion IncRom is the best looking one that I have found. It is a sense rom so you will not have much trouble navigating it if you are used to HTC sense. I have had the least amount bugginess with this one. The only exception is that when I used rom manager to install, it was all wonky acting, no buttons worked properly, but after downloading to sd, and using cwm to wipe and flash, I can't complain much at all!

Best of luck to you and let us know what you find and how it works!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mulsifer:
I had my phone rooted with stock for a long time but finally decided to try out some custom ROMs when it started giving me problems a couple weeks ago. Skyraider was pretty good but I prefer the Synergy Gingersense ROM, hands down. It is very slick and makes me feel like I have a new phone. RLS1 should be out this week. So far I haven't had any big issues with it that weren't resolved by a nightly update.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jporter18:
As far as Rooting it goes, use UnRevoked and install Hboot drivers. But for the choice of ROMs i made a post a few hours ago asking the exact same question, I suggest you check it out! I don't think I can post links because I'm a new user :/
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matts290:
I am coming from an Eris also, just got my DINC today and have it rooted and nand unlocked using unrevoked. I want to load CM7 on this bad boy but there are so many builds compared to the Eris...7.0.0, 7.01, 7.0.2, 7.0.3, nightlies. All these have me a little confused. Can anyone shed a little light on the differences between all these?

thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
The latest stable is android 2.3.3, nightlies are 2.3.4. The nightlies are perfectly stable, I'd recommend the latest, I'm on 114.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobcat331:
I've had my Inc now for a few weeks now after coming from an Eris. I had Condemned Soul's Stripped To Hell rom on my Eris and now I have his new rom on my Inc.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matts290:
Yeah I ended up flashing his Inc ROM as soon as I saw it, running great. This Incredible sure does blow the Eris out of the water, way faster and I got an AMOLED screen which is gorgeous.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobcat331:
Same here. I got an amoled screen as well.:D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Majic_One:
I've tried CM7, Skyraider and now I'm on Uber Kingdom. Loved CM7. Had a lil trouble with Skyraider. Uber Kingdom is all around great!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danrodz:
I came from an og Droid and used unrevoked to root. I've done it successfully on 3 dincs. Right now I'm on user sonic kingdom 3d, I've used synergy and cm7 and uber is the one I like the best. I keep trying others but always go back
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmsnyder:
Depending on how you feel about Sense vs. stock I'd recommend two ROMS.

If you like stock, CM7 no doubt. Runs super fast, amazing battery life.

If you like Sense, JoelZ has a Sense 3.0 ROM that runs really smoothly, I've seen a couple other people mention earlier iterations.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeffBea:
Optimized Shift best choice IMO.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocketj:
i went from Incredibly Re-Engineered to Optimized Shift. Great battery life on both and they are both responsive.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peloshas:
Root

OK I'm running 2.3.4 but I cant root using unrevoked3 I keep geting error "failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?

How do you root if running this version? Do I have to downgrade?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
So you received the OTA and accepted it? Unrevoked won't root it, yet at least, and maybe not until the OTA is pushed out again. Were you rooted before or just stock?

Right now, I don't think you can root or revert back.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kid427_2000:
Well you've made one good step with getting the Dinc. Now you should look around and do alot of reading in this forums about all the ROMS that are here. You should decided if you want to run a sense rom or GB. There are alot of good roms on both sides. Read, Read and Read........
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trebuchette:
damn. Sorry dude. well hopefully unrEVOked team will have you fixed up soon. :/

[ROM][Release: 9/5] McSenseless 2.1-v1.0: AOSP&Sense2.1/3. ---- Try it! its amazing!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bukithd:
Right now I am on the OTA with some of the available customizations otherwise I'd go with Virtuous ROM with the sense Incredikernel.

If you don't like sense, go with OMGB. stock, stable, fast, and will never fail you.

The problem I've seen is if you use a sense 3.0 rom, the incredible sometimes just can't handle it. 512 mb ram just isnt enough for the new stuff.
[Android Apps and Games] mssmison:
Here's a modified version of Wysie's NubDialer app to better fit landscape views on the tab. I got tired of trying to find a dialer that fit and worked well in landscape.

It doesn't replace your stock dialer just adds a new one.

I know the icon is ugly, but you can replace it with most launchers.

I've attached the source as well, the only changes I made were to the landscape layout, and removing the 'close dialer on fling' as it's not required.

Feel free to make any adjustments you want, the original source is available here; http://code.google.com/p/nubdial/

I thought this would be simple, but it's turning out not to be.

I have a Windows Mobile phone and I would like to programatically retrieve the current TMSI. I know it's located on the SIM card but I would like to see if there is a simple way to retrieve this value from either the registry or the AT command log.

If I have to read this data from the SIM, can someone recommend a good API or example code?

Thanks in advance.

[XPERIA X10 General] Silly22:
Well I somehow rolled over my phone in bed while the screen was unlocked and turned on Google Sky Map. A couple hours later I awoke and checked the time on my X10. It was the hottest it's ever gotten. I exited Google Sky Map and turned off the screen and moved the phone to a cool spot.

Checked the historical temperature using Juiceplotter. It got up to 60°C. Averaged 56°C for the 2.5 hours. That is troubling.
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
That's a useful tip, although not many people intentionally would leave Google Sky Map on while they're sleeping.

On a related matter, when the phone or any other similar gadget gets hot DON'T try to force it to cool down using blow-dryers or placing it in the fridge etc... It will do more harm than good. Better leave it where it was, switch it off for 10 minutes and let the CPU calm down on its own.

The motherboard will thank you! ;)

Xperia X10i via Tapatalk
[XPERIA X10 General] totalundone:
Lol, I've ran it really hot as well. Never with google sky though.

I mounted it on my windshield during the day, used it as a GPS, and streamed pandora for an hour or two at the same time. HOT.

At least we're not alone. Same thing with the Nexus One, HD2-Android, original Droid, etc. All those with a first gen snapdragon.

Thanks for the tip My_Immortal. I usually let it cool down if it gets too hot. But if I was in a rush... would probably had tried to actively cool it down, haha.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Lol the arc gets hot by itself sometimes in my pocket
[XPERIA X10 General] Silly22:
I think Google Sky Map overrides the auto screen shut off and kept the a-GPS going the whole time and that's why the temp. kept rising.

Yeah, when I turned it off I just moved it to another cooler part of the bed. Think I would have done more damage by throwing it in the fridge. I wonder if there is some sort of temperature threshold where android or the phone will turn itself off regardless of what's running.
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
Yes, Google Sky Maps uses GPS, accelerometer, compass, keeps screen on...

Very stressful to the CPU! Luckily it only makes sense to use it outside at night, which mostly means in lower temperatures! :D

I had an overheating incident once while using xRecovery.

The phone was making a nandroid backup and I fell asleep during,

when I woke up 5 hours later, the backup was finished of course,

the screen was on (it never goes off in xRec) and the battery was so HOT I could barely touch it!!! :eek:
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
Lol, did your battery not drain to 0%? xRecovery drains battery for me :O. When I was on school I was making a nandroid backup for installing straight after school CM7. But after the break I forgot to get out of xRecovery and phone was on for 50 minutes. Battery drained from 80% - 15%... Really awfull that you can't turn of screen :p...
[XPERIA X10 General] HouseM:
I don't think heat is a big problem. I use my x10 in my car as the navigation. When the sun hits front window it usually gets more than 50deg C on hot day. So far everything is ok.
[XPERIA X10 General] LJE:
that's a good tip...

another good tip is to not sleep beside your phone. Also don't shower with it, or take it out on a date... It'll always make you pay

;)
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
According to the manual it's not.

Check the link in my signature about the radio and battery drain.
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
Maybe you should disable searching automatically for a network. Because when you travel it searches for other networks and stuff that cause your phone to be hot and drain battery. Using another baseband could also fix it, but I that's not available yet for the Arc I think. So try locking it on one network.
[XPERIA X10 General] HouseM:
I have read your post. I'm sure is a lot of truth in it. But there is not much you can do about sun heating your phone while using navi in car. I place my device near AC wents but still temperature is high.

Anyway there is 2 years warranty so if the phone will break because of that I'll just replace it.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Only if SE lets you. "trust me when i say this"
[XPERIA X10 General] viper619:
other apps i also found this problem,:-

1. google maps, if left for more than 1 hour during navigation,

2. paradise island (that realy makes the phone like a furnace 62c
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Dude any app that uses the internet a lot or is a bit heavy on the cpu = a lot of heat.

It's a flaw in the radio or it's software "one SE loves" cuz eventually all our phones will melt.

"planned obsolesce"
[XPERIA X10 General] viper619:

"planned obsolesce" [/QUOTE]

true :d they realy love busting our pockets for thier new phones. btw even if u used google maps without data connection, it does over heat the phone, maybe its a flaw in my phone or something.

cheers :)
[XPERIA X10 General] totalundone:
Not really a flaw in just the X10. While it's true that the radio on the X10 can be very power hungry, the new basebands regulate it better. The issue has to do with the chipset.

ALL first generation snapdragons have the same issue. They ALL emit a ton of heat when cpu and peripheral chips undergo heavy activity. You'll find the same issues in other forums with the Nexus One, HTC HD2 (running Android), HTC Desire, original Droid, etc.

Not really planned obsolescence when it was the best chipset available at the time. Newer chipsets are going to be (and so far have been) better.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
At the price of $1250 i expected more from the device.

I also expected the device that works as a smart phone.

My mistake.. it's just a normal phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
If you paid $1250 for an X10, you've been conned heavily! :eek:
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
That's what phones cost in our country.

I bought it when the device just hit the market here.

Well my uncle paid for half of it as a present.

But still a lot of money.
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
:eek: :eek: :eek:

What country is that??

It costed 500 euros (around 580$) at launch

and now it costs about 280...
[XPERIA X10 General] realunited123:
It's too much!! Even at launch. I paid less than half of that at launch.

Sent from my X10
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
Exactly.

This is not a 1000-dollar-phone.

Actually, I think even the iPhone doesn't cost this much.

EDIT: Now THIS is an expensive phone! :p :D
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Yeah.. our country is evil.

Vodacom has the monopoly here. :(

Damn South African service providers they act like they are ahead but always 20 steps behind.

by the way I forgot to say it was a hot sunny day too hehe but still I think it shouldn't have got that hot
[XPERIA X10 General] cockbeard:
I'd imagine you had assisted GPS turned on. I've found (purely by testing on my device and my device alone, so not exactly a significant sample group) that the radio is the by far the biggest factor in generating heat within the x10. Is the GPS an all in one chip with the wifi and/or GSM/3G/HDSPwhatever format they use?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] orcrist86:
So on Monday night I'm finishing up work at the office when my wife calls, all freaked out. Turns out someone broke into our house and made off with everything they could carry including her 2,000.00 camera and my transformer!

Needless to say, I am not happy, neither is she... and I was just getting ready to hack lookout onto the thing this weekend.

We are dealing with the insurance agency now (they are not making me happy either), and hopefully when the dust settles I'll have a new transformer, and an android compatible security system.

Untill then I'm stuck on an old desktop I built 5 years ago, and my wife's college desktop from 2000, sigh....

first things first though, turn the house into a fortress this weekend and install key logging and security software onto anything that boots.

I hope the thieves spontaneously combust.:D

I completely forgot about plan B, I know that lookout can be installed in a kind of experimental manner and that is what I was planning on.... I just sent this out, hopefully they are connected.:D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fone_fanatic:
**** that blows. Sucks how people have plans to beef up security and dont actually do it till something happens (which is where I am now, been planning for over a year and have yet to install any cameras etc).

Also what's good and bad about devices with proprietary ports is that I'm pretty sure the thief is gonna try to either stick an iPhone charger in it (harder on the tf then the streak which is same size as apples charger) and bust it. Leading the device to go out of power and then you can't track it.

I'd recommend you start doing the rounds on all pawnshops in your area. Print out pictures of stolen review and have serial numbers ready. Also try local PC repair shops as they too sell used PC's and electronics (one down the street from my recently got busted for selling stolen property).

When I was in high-school our house got robbed while on vacation and they made away with almost everything. They had stayed the night or two in the house and used all my dads power tools to break into the safe, stole all of my moms jewelry and my dads very rare coin collection along with family heirlooms. My parents were planning to put everything in a safe deposit box before leaving but something came up and we left on Sunday so bank was closed. Long story short, my dad hired a couple of local college students and gave each of them a list of what was missing and a new subwoofer that I was planning to install in my car is what got them. Turns out one of the low life POS thieves was my best friends older brother and the guy that organized it all, well his dad was really high up there in the police department and owned a private security firm. His dad gave him all the moeny he wanted and always had the hottest cars, turns out he did it be "gangster"....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkonex:
Getting robbed blows, happened to us like in 2001 the day after Thanksgiving. We weren't out of town or anything, we had been over at my parents house for the normal Thanksgiving day festivities then went back home and later that evening we went out to eat pizza and came home to find the side door busted and tons of stuff gone. They made off with my Gameboy Advance and games, Dreamcast (but luckily none of my 200+ burned games :P), Atari Jaguar + games, 3DO + Games, Playstation 2 + games, Xbox + games, wife's jewelry, mine and hers class rings, my deceased grandfather's watch I had just inherited a couple weeks before, my daughter's piggy bank. Needless to say we were devestated but the good news was I tracked down my Xbox via my brother in law's friend, some dude sold it to him and my bro in law was suspicous about the price paid so he called me and asked me for the serial # and they were a match! So he called the cops and they went and arrested the guy who sold it, and turned out he was wanted for robbery of over 20 homes in the city and I ended up going to court and watching him get sentenced to jail. We did get the Xbox back but nothing else, but at least we got the guy! I immediately had a security system installed and have had one ever since, but I still get weary everytime we leave the house for an extended amount of time.

Hope everything works out for you.

Sorry to hear that, I hope everything works out soon! Things are pretty mellow here in our rural area, heck the neighbors (we only have neighbors on our north side) kids leave their bikes out all night, though I wouldn't recommend doing that ;) There hasn't ever been a break-in out here, we'd notice strange people or cars pretty quickly. We keep our doors locked on the house at night as well as the cars, but nothing beyond that. We have a Mendocino County Sheriff's Officer and two CHP Officer's in the development too, can't beat that :D
