[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] robsondantas:
Hi!

I´ve been searching this for a while, and yes, cyanogenmod (at least nightly builds) support - you might have trouble getting other customs roms.

You need 2.3.4+ and 2.6.35+ kernel with CONFIG_USB_ANDROID_ACCESSORY flag set. Instructions about xml, permissions, here (sorry, cant post full urls):

github.com/ezterry/manifest-gingerbread-DS/issues/32

Push nexus files from here:

forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/26339-usb-accessory-mode-is-adk-supported-in-cm-7/

And upload demokit via eclipse.

Regards

Robson
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] adamz667:
There is one problem - you cannot flash custom kernel on Milestone that is not signed by Motorola (locked bootloader). And the latest kernel that we have is 2.6.32.9, so that will not work.

If you want custom kernel (but without radio) you can try to have a fun with 2nd boot - http://droid-developers.org/wiki/2ndboot

So I'm having an issue lately with getting my mail to show up on the stock mail app. I've configured my account, everything checks out fine when configuring it. I was using the stock ROM for a while and worked great but then I stopped receiving any mail. I got frustrated enough to try the new rooted 2.3 ROM but it still won't download any mail.

I get my account configured and it even says there are over 200 messages on the server but when I push Get More Mail it doesn't download anything. I've even tried other folders (Sent and other custom ones) but none of them show any mail.

I haven't tried another mail app but I would like to get back to just having the stock one working. Any ideas?

No carrier data connection after unlock 02a. Connect to internet is on and wifi is working but shut off for now. Use phone for data connection when wifi is unavailable is checked. After telus unlock I used rogers sim and works great accept internet data from rogers. So I did a factory data reset from sd & phone storage. All apps and everything gone default accept homepage still telus and some things still towards my telus sim. If not using my wifi than I cannot connect. Anyway to reset using new sim info.

[Dell Streak 7] jhogal1:
I did Google and searched in this forum (Not just Dell streak 7 but all XDA forums)

1. I tried to root my DS7 (WIFI only ) using super one click and it did not work. I was able to root my device using Gingerbreak.apk. so one issue down

2. here comes main issue. once i have rooted my device i wanted delete some stuff rename some stuff and intall some new apk's. I chose ADB and my device does get listed when i search using ADB devices and i granted SU(Super user) permissions.

I wanted to remove phone.apk and telephoenprovider.apk (I have overcome this probelm using Super manager i have deleted both APK's) but i want to do this kinda stuff using ADB and i tried several methods. when ever I tried to mount or delete overwrite or push a file i get permission denied or read only file or some kinda message which means that i can do what I'm trying to do.

3. now i want to replace my existing email.apk with the provided here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=951815

I was able to rename existing apk using Super Manger but i ahve to install the modified email.apk using ADB and now i'm stuck. I cant figure out how to install this apk using ADB or any other way.

why do guys think i'm not getting 100% true SU access over my DS7 using ADB and i get using Super manager or some root required tools like Busty Box Titanium backup........

two things:

what else i can do to resolve my issues with ADB

what is alternative way to install APPS besides ADB and Side load wonder machine.:(

Also said that I also have a captivate and i use all kinda ADB commands with no issues. :confused:
[LG Revolution] alohasurf0007:
With possible tiered data plans looming on Verizon, I'm now in the market for a smartphone. I want to get in with unlimited data. I'm in a 4G area, and want a 4G phone. I'm trying to decide which to get. Currently I'm leaning toward the Charge.

From those who actually own the LG Revolution, would you get it again, or would you go with something else? Are you happy with the dev work, or other phones are better? Sell me, one way or the other. :D

Based on the number of threads in the development forum, I'd venture a guess that the Charge has a lot more dev work.

Any other thoughts?
[LG Revolution] Blaqhawk:
I am in the same boat as you and have read your other post. Not sure which way I will go yet, but I'm leaning towards the Charge. Although, I am hoping the Bionic comes out before the 6th of July (when the new pricing kicks off). I like the DX2, but would like 4G (even though it's not available in my area) and a Front Facing Camera (FFC). Tough choice.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
I don't think I'd get another phone. After debinging this phone, etc, I am pretty happy with it. We are limited on developers right now, but the one that we have makes solid products, so what I have learned from this experience (witnessing a plethora of developers), is that it's not always the quantity of developers, but the attention to detail the developer you have has.

There are some things to consider for the negatives:

1. Battery life is OK, but like all smart phones these days, it isn't great.

2. On most standard charges (including the one this came with) charge time is crazy. I use HTC chargers now (1amp) and it will take about 4 hours to fully charge.

3. This phone takes some work to get things done - Expect to push recovery yourself using detailed instructions, and expect to do a little work to get a ROM installed (not really that hard). Things are getting better all the time.

4. The charge probably has a bigger development community because it came without the Bing crap and was open source.

If you want to compare it to the charge in a positive light:

1. I have heard the charge doesn't have notification lights.

2. IMHO, kind of ugly.

3. The Revo as it sits is pretty much completely unlocked and ready for devs to mess with it.

Someone did a complete right up on comparisons here: http://androidforums.com/lg-revolution/344309-lg-revolution-vs-charge-vs-incredible-2-a.html

First thing I noticed he complained about on the charge was 384Megs of RAM. You will find this with all 512M phones because of how it allocates the memory to processes prior to boot (video, etc).
[LG Revolution] lazarus2297:
I would say that out of the 4g phones out now i would still choose the revo.. i had the thunderbolt it was really not a bad device. I ran it with the leaked alpha GB software and was worlds better than the firmware that came loaded even better than the update they sent out a month or so after it was released. I havent owned the charge mainly for two reasons: 1. i think it's terribly ugly, and 2. i just dont that i could ever bring myself to own a samsung.. they feel so cheap to me. I know that it can be sped up, but the two i played with (one store demo, the other a vzw rep's personal phone) both were jumpy, laggy whatever ya wanna call it.. i also despise the touchwiz UI it looks like kiddie version of the iphone with all those stupid squares on the icons. Now to the revo. Battery isnt a lot better than the tbolt but seems a tad better. The screen isnt "showroom" impressive but seems a bit more true, not so blown out like the samsung. I also think the phone looks better than eiether the charge or the tbolt. Now a couple things i dont like about the revo.. LG removes the android power widget, and i use that widget all the time. So i either have to use LG home and their power widget or download a 3rd party app... also i really am not a big fan of the little cover over the charging port, especially since with 4G u charge a lot.. the one covering the hdmi port is ok with me as that wont get used to often. And it does seem like it takes a bit longer than normal to fully charge the battery. Overall the LG will most likley tide me over till the bionic comes out which is all i am really looking for at this point.
[LG Revolution] powder007:
I'm 100% positive i'd buy the revo again.
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
For a 4G phone from current options... Revo

Honestly the INC2 would be my first choice but I wanted a 4G phone when it comes to my area in October.
[LG Revolution] bwhxeon:
If i could do it again i wouldn't buy verizon at all. Other carries just have much nicer options for phones.
[LG Revolution] smokedkill:
I regret getting a Revolution. The bad part was that I traded the Thunderbolt in for it so I'm stuck with it. Currently trying to trade if for a Thunderbolt on Craigslist. While the Thunderbolt by itself isnt the best, but it has custom roms that fix its problems.

The Revolution seems to be backwards in some areas compared to other Androids that I have owned or used.
[LG Revolution] lazarus2297:
what areas? I am not flaming just curious as to what you don't like about it? That would give the OP real info to base his decision off of..
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
even after debloating and debinging, i still don't like this phone. the interface looks stupid. someone gingerbread this thing!!!!
[LG Revolution] AndroidCraig:
Did you install the Debloated ROM or do it yourself? I installed the ROM and swapped the ADW launcher with Go Launcher. The stock home system is gone and the whole phone is a lot snappier. I'm keeping it.
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
i did it myself and i'm running launcher pro plus. has go launcher gotten any better?
[LG Revolution] AndroidCraig:
You should really load the ROM that Cubed has put together. It is really nice. gets rid of the crap and puts Google back where it belongs. The capacitive buttons are now linked to Google. No Bing to be found.

There are still a few LG widgets i'm freezing sine they don't work in Go Launcher and I think I can find suitable replacements.

I'm not familiar with launcher pro plus, but I like Go Launcher a lot. Didn't care for ADW launcher.

I'll have to check out launcher pro plus to see how it compares.

Only thing I'm not keen on about the phone is the battery life, but it is 4G and those are some of the things we have to live with. These are a lot more powerful than my old BB Storm.

It's like having a computer in the palm of your hand.
[LG Revolution] njKeever:
I really think I'd get the Thunderbolt if I did it over again. They are basically the same phone but the 4G on the bolt is way faster and it has incredible dev support. Although we have cubed developing which is awesome!
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
just saw a video of the charge running gingerbread -_-...
[LG Revolution] nick99wj:
Switch to ADW, or something and poof, the LG Home and that big crap icons at the bottom are gone

I am currently using Go Launcher and LOVE it, sooo much faster, cooler looking, and 100% customizable home screens
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
Launcher Pro runs like a 1 legged dog on my phone. It was so laggy and slow... which really shocked me as it ran fine on my other old phone. I have been using adw ex and it runs fast and smooth. I also get better battery with adwex than I do with LG home.
[LG Revolution] 0mie:
I'll trade you my Thunderbolt, I need something new.
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
no thanks. i dislike the revo, but at least the battery lasts for more than 2 hours ;)
[LG Revolution] 0mie:
My thunderbolt gets 16-20hrs depending on the day, sometimes more...
[LG Revolution] Blaqhawk:
I am still debating between the Charge and Revo. Any other reports on Revo battery life; that is one of my main concerns. Not worked about having to root and swap ROMs, as I plan to do that with either phone.

New Revo here

I've had mine for all of two days, but I have to admit I'm liking it so far (after I de-binged it of course). I traded up from an old droid eris, so this is a pretty big step up for me.
[LG Revolution] goinovr:
No. With all the glitches with this phone it has really turned me off. Having had a Samsung Fascinate and the Droid X I am really disappointed in this phone.

Does anyone else have major issues with the hot spot?
[LG Revolution] HereOnTheHill:
After following this form for a few weeks I finally decided to order a Revolution. Mainly I wanted to get a handset while Verizon was still offering unlimited data and was torn between the Charge and the Revolution. But Amazon Wireless is offering them for $0.01 on a new contract, so that made the choice easy. I figure I'll end up buying another phone full price or off CL later when I'm off contract on my other carrier and fully switch over.
[LG Revolution] Jaskwith:
I am going back next weekend to trade my revolution for a thunderbolt. I was rolling with the punches in this one... I like this phone even though the LG tweaked android isn't my favorite and even though the buttons are in odd places, and even though it doesn't have ankickstand, and even though the volume isn't the loudest... but i will tell you finally put me over the edge.... the headphone jack!!! Doesn't work with my beats by Dre... plus it will be nicer when I get the thunderbolt and have to development that they have.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
LOL@VoLTE. Those jackasses at Verizon just put a cap on everyone (except those grandfathered - FOR NOW) of 2GB for $30 and they are talking about being revolutionary by streaming voice over LTE? I guess if you want to pay for the overages, or use your phone for a few hours a month.

Screw Verizon - another way to bilk the customer.

On topic: I still like my phone, but there is DEFINITELY room for improvement.

1. As for auto-brightness, I haven't noticed anything crazy there. I mean, it times out after a few seconds and goes to a dimmer screen, like it should, but no complaints about their auto-brightness.

2. Their built in camera app has distorted colors in normal lighting - what's up with that?

3. The memory issue has already been addressed when we were trying to extract the boot.img file. It is confirmed to have 768Mb.

4. LG Home - someone shoot that product and get it out of it's misery.

Everything else seems "alright" for now, but those are my observations.

Edit: Perhaps the biggest strike against this device is it is the only one that has not complied with the GPL license by releasing their source. I'm currently working on that, but I'm not holding my breath (LG has complied with the GPL for every device EXCEPT this one). Their lack of compliance, if persistent, will be the #1 reason for people's malcontent with this device. This would mean: no CM, no advanced development, no attracting future developers/development. While this phone is wide open, it needs the source to be as viable of an open product as its competitors.
[LG Revolution] itsluy:
I'm grandfathered in, the caps haven't gone through yet (allegedly on the 7th).

Re: VoLTE its a few years away by which point I will likely upgrade anyways.

I'm still not rooted and havent found a compelling reason to. Only thing I miss is taking screen shots.

Sure im stuck with an older version of android but it does what i need.

Do you have a link to the 768mb info?

Thanks. Amazing what they were able to get done in a week!
[LG Revolution] itsluy:
The auto-brightness to me seems "indecisive". Maybe it's just my phone? It seems to change it's mind constantly and it's pretty annoying
[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
I just disabled auto brightness. I noticed it too. Would I buy this phone again? Well I did. For my wife. I love it. Is it perfect? Well no, no phone is. A phone is like wine, it gets better with time... Until it gets old and becomes like milk, rotten.

The phones biggest pro for me? Signal! I get reception where I didn't with the last three phones I had. I had 1 bar, sometimes 3g in my home with a droid 1, droid x, and a droid 2. With the revo, I get 3 to 4 bars 3g all the time. I tried the thunderbolt and the charge. The revo just seemed more responsive and over all snappier. The tb with it's epic gps flaws really drove me away, and I didn't like the plastic feel of the charge.
[LG Revolution] Jaskwith:
My phone started out snappy and responsive but it has really deduced itself to.a.party mediocre device as of late . I haven't downloaded many apps and i have tried task killer and it just sucks now. Its almost as if LG made it so that it would appear as a high performance phone when first played with but.doesn't stand up after the first week. Which is in because that is within the 14 day period. Just another positive reson for exchanging it for the tb on Saturday.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
I installed the decrapified ROM and switched to Go Launcher, and I really can't complain about the responsiveness. Everything seems smooth as butter to me. There's a decent amount of crap I can complain about, but performance isn't one of them.
[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
I have to agree. There needs to be some more work done, but I'm not jumping ship. Having had all three new phones, I can say there is no doubt the revo is best. For me anyway. I hated the Pro, others loved it. We all want something different from our phones. Go get your tb, and enjoy it. Do me a favor though, stop back by here and let us know what your thoughts are after a couple weeks. I'm curious to know how happy those going from the revo to the tb are. I've talked to a few who went from there to here. No matter your decision, good luck, and I hope you can be as happy with the one you decide on as I.

Btw, that all kinda sounds rude, didn't mean it to come across that way! Lol!
[LG Revolution] Jaskwith:
Yea i think you guys have made some compelling points... enough to where i am considering not swapping but the development on this phone lacks somewhat an i am very transient with my mobile phones so tons of roms is definitely very beneficial to me as all. I will try to come back and let you all know how the tb works out. Didn't come off as rude at all definitely more mannered ten most i would say. Anyways ill report back asap .
[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
Good good. Yep, just let us know. I'm hoping more join to dev with the cubed. I did see someone made a battery notification add on today. I'm going to push that tonight and check it out.
[LG Revolution] bwhxeon:
I was in big bear last weekend and the previous trip I had a thunderbolt and could barely get any reception at all. This time that was not the case and even though I only had 3g, the signal was much better and data was actually usable, wifi reception also worked just fine and last time would not work at all.

So would I buy this phone over the other 2 lte phones again yes I would. I still wouldn't have renewed with verizon at all though if I had the option, a friend of mine had much better reception on sprint.
[LG Revolution] Jaskwith:
Why wouldn't they just have made the Droid 3 4g capable, would have made my trade in decision soooo easy... now its a decision between something that would seem like an efective device in the Droid 3 but is only 3g, and a nice 4g phone that seems to want to reboot all the ttime....gah! What a dilemma
[LG Revolution] idkwhothatis123:
Ordered a revolution the first day it came out. It turned itself off and wouldn't boot back up on day one. Exchanged to a TB and never looked back. Better Dev support anyways. The revolution is a typical LG phone. Problems gallore.
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
Tell that to my env that is still alive and kicking, problem free from day one... glad ur happy though, honestly.

On topic, I would def get this phone again, no thought needed. No phone is without its flaws, some people just seem unlucky in the phones they've received.
[LG Revolution] ufkal:
Like any other phone on the market, this phone has issues. Who doesn't? But, if you take time to work through them and figure out whats going on, its a decent damn phone.

I'm lovin my phone. My wife has the Droid Charge. Its a nice phone sure, but its not the workhorse that this phone will become once we can get CM7 on it. And by we, I mean thecubed, and all the other silent developers who are here. This phone will get loads of love once we have a kernal, and that is coming.

Yeah there a some things I wish were better. But I'd buy this phone again, no doubt in my mind.
[LG Revolution] Jaskwith:
Thought LG said it wasn't releasing source to its kernel....?
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
They haven't directly stated that yet, but as for CM7, there is currently some hope on the horizon for porting it without the source.
[LG Revolution] Jaskwith:
I'm pretty sure they did. Read the thread up one level. It is titled "LG says no " and if you read the email he posted...the LG clearly says no to releasing the source....plus ports are fail.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
They didn't directly say no, they said it was unavailable, and you must understand who we have been dealing with. These are customer service reps, and based on the responses I have received from them, they hardly know what we're talking about, let alone capable of making a final call on the issue.

Cubed has never released anything that was "fail." If he gets it running, I'm sure it will be epic, and he will continue to work until it's fully operational.
[LG Revolution] Jaskwith:
Touhe.... Well I just got my thunderbolt...I LOVE it...but I have it for only an hour now and am just loving the concept of being back on HTC and the physical feel/look ...I will let you know after a week or some more time with it, whether or not I regret trading revo in for it.
[LG Revolution] itsluy:
Just to update the thread I sent this phone back today. Although a beautiful phone w/ features galore I wouldn't buy it again because:

1) I couldn't stand the bing/vzw/lg lockdown and apps and although "fixable" I really would rather not have to fix something that cost this much right out of the box. Missing power control widget being the biggest showstopper.

2) the edges are too sharp. it took a while to notice but this phone hurt my ear during long calls. It also started bothering my pinky when holding it vertically. If you hold the phone like I do (pinky for bottom support) you will likely develop a callus on the inside of your pinky over time.

3) 4g LTE is fast and all but the battery life tradeoff isn't worth it IMO. Swapping batteries 4 times to get thru a heavy use day is ridiculous. Again its fixable but at this price I expect a better out of the box experience.

4) I have an easy out of my contract due to moving to a bad reception zone. I had been eyeing tmobile for a while due to WiFi calling so I sent back the LG and am now trying out the HTC Sensation (1.2ghz dualcore + sense UI 3.0).

All I need is a snappy phone that can talk & web at the same time without needing constant baby sitting or plugging in.

In conclusion this wasn't the device for me, which kind of eliminates vzw all together - 2 week trial starts today.
[LG Revolution] iomthd:
I'm glad I'm not the only one noticing this pinky pain! I may switch phones because of it
[LG Revolution] Jaskwith:
I really can't even complain about my TB. Best decision I ever made trading my revolution in for the TB. Maybe I'm just lucky but my tbolt doesn't reboot ever and I'm a power user and it is decent battery wise... Nothing too dramatic.
[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
Good to hear! I don't know, I went through four with no luck. The first couple weeks were great for all of them, then one day, all hell broke loss. 45 minute boot loops, no connection to data, random power offs and resets, weird stuff. Sounds like you're having better luck. Good to hear!
