many vpgb .2.1 preview (not even beta yet) users like myself, who read and ask for solutions find them simply and as a result find this current version of the preview to be very stable and very quick, plus it looks great. i can't wait til it actually hits the beta stage because right now it is more final than a lot of final roms i've used.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
Vaelpak! Any arguments that the developer hasn't updated or anything like that are mostly incorrect. He just hasn't updated anything on XDA, because he's not on XDA anymore. He runs his own site and his own forum, and he's very active there.

Heck, try them both for a few days and see which YOU like best. They're free. :)

I used Deck's for a while and later switched to Vaelpak's. I like Vaelpak's much more because of its features and community. Even though it's in its preview stage, it is VERY stable. The community is so responsive and helpful. Another thing is that Deck finished his ROM, Vaelpak started just like 2 months ago and already has a beast of a ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaelek:
Just to chime in here...

XDA does have a massive user base yes. But with that, comes a massive idiot base, over-inflated egos, and too many people that can't be bothered to read an OP in its entirety.. I do come back to post here when there is something worth posting about. The users at my forum are MUCH more well mannered and helpful overall. If you want to be told to search, RTFM, stop being a noob, read through 300 pages to find the answer, then XDA is the place to be. The main reason there is no post for my GB preview here is because as of right now there is no public source available and I don't need the XDA police breathing down my neck or editing my posts because of it.

On another note, thanks for the props to those that have been giving them to my preview :)

VP is the best. Jim you are the best in my book
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skitzi:
THIS

Head over to Vaelek's forums if there was doubt in if his work is supported and ongoing. Extremely responsive on his forums, you would be hard pressed to find any lengthy span of days where Vaelek hasn't answered questions or posted fixes to issues brought up in the forums on his site. The guy is machine constantly helping out his user base.

Now for the roms, I actually originally suggested to vaelek using Decks rom as base for his work (but there is no public source). Decks rom is great but the added features and amazing dev support is what keeps me going back to Vaelpak roms.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Agreed. Jim is top shelf, all the way, and his ROM is totally unique. I always said that if I was one the people that just HAD to run CM7 and I HAD to make another choice, it would be Vaelpak, all the way.

Props to his forum, too.

I've been a member there for a few months
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joey_UFC:
can you post a link to his newest work. last time i tried a Vaelek rom was atleast 4 months ago
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carhauler1969:
+1 :D

I jumped on the VaelPak train in January & for the most part never looked back. I have tried Deck's ROM back in the RC3-7 days, I liked it a lot. If I wasn't on VaelPak I'd have to say I'd be on Deck's. But I also have to say that there is not another developer that I've found that pays more attention to detail than Vaelek does, hell he takes user requests. His stuff is always top notch, if there's an issue he'll tell you up front. We also have the best forum community anywhere that I've found in the android world.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJsax:
VPGB in preview for me. It's the last ROM I will ever flash on my EVO 4G, but the 3D version will be the one and only ROM to ever touch that phone as well. Jim's work is top notch I know it's been said plenty of time but he does things with code that others wish they could do.

Gotta give it a try everyone who hasn't yet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
Link in my sig. Top forum from there is called "VaelPak Gingerbread AOSP" and the stickies in there have all the info you need.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mildlydisturbed:
What Jim? You don't like being told to search through a 300+ page forum?

I seem to recall loving that when XDA's search wouldn't work for 2 or 3 weeks... it was all I remember doing.

Oh wait, I didn't...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmokeCrawler:
Never tried Deck's rom but I got to say I have always enjoyed Vaelpak. The first version I tried was vp2.1 and stayed with that until 3.2. I always enjoyed AOSP roms more but his senseless was really good.

Now that he has his AOSP rom out it looks like I'll be joining the old family again.

+1 for the maturity at Vaelek site. Its true, sorry.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the rhyno:
i like the light being shed here, but i also think it would be more fair to compare two ROMs that are of equal value. i.e. two betas, two RCs, or two previews. not a beta and a preview.

and believe me when VP goes beta or stable, it will blow your doors off.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderwagn:
If you haven't tried VPGB, you are seriously missing out. Jim is one of the best devs out there and for sure has got to be the most supportive and responsive. He responds to anyone. Not just the donors, the high posters, buddies, whatever. Everyone is treated with respect and dignity on VP forums. No one is overlooked.

All of Jim's roms are top shelf.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ben.nesheim:
i've used vp froyo roms not gingerbread .. yet but i'd have to recommend decks it has pretty full list of features and tweaks.

im running kingdom revolution rom atm so if i mess something or mis say sorry ahead of time.

Decks is pretty easy to oc w/ profiles i believe there are already ones set up and u can preselect so no setcpu needed

apps to sd is really not needed with decks cuz its TINY footprint which is nice i think that is why deck may had skipped the dt.

and for the first few after the op i believe it is the stock gingebread launcher which is like the nexus s launcher. If i remember from the original beta/Rc Post on PPCG deck said this but i could be wrong.

Either rom is amazing the other thing that can drag me away from a smooooth awesome rom is a little sense 3.0 love :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robbo10:
VPGB is very stable imo. As a not so tech savy person I am able to enjoy advanced features that I wouldn't normally try like cpu/UV scripts totally from within the rom. As a result I'm getting the best battery life ever! I always get help, even with the most basic questions a lot of the time from Jim himself and no fear of getting ridiculed.

VP roms A+++

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
I might give VPGB a fly this weekend. One thing, being and AOSP Rom, it would be nice to have a custom kernel again, but tbh, I'm pretty married to my setup now with MikG' 2.1, so it better be really amazing to sway me away from this setup
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
That's what I thought when I first switched to VP and went "non-Sense" but I got better. Once I spent a few days getting used to LauncherPro and, now, the pull-down toggles and other fun little tweaks, I love it!

(PS - Thanks for the info you posted in that new thread yesterday about the info you got from that Sprint rep. Lots of propaganda floating around these days, it's nice to have some reason mixed in.)

My sister has a G1 currently running CM 5.0.8

Doesn't CM have an option during registration to switch to wifi? I need this verified before I try. I really dont want to mess with ADB.

Thanks!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
im not sure about that specific rom.. but most roms on xda do have the option to choose wifi or even to skip the google sign in so you can turn wifi on after the actual setup... if the device is already rooted you can just keep trying different roms untill you find one with the option to skip the sign in or at least with the wifi option in beggining setup.. if the device is not rooted than you may have trouble flashing roms lol because you cant.. this link has some advice on rooting with or without data plan..

I installed the transparent pulldown and 5 bar signal mod for the new bamf sense 3 RC1. When I pulled down the status bar, I noticed it is a dark background with dark text so it is not legible. I looked at the files in the zip and saw that it was just systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk so i copied them out of the rom and pushed them to my phone via adb. I had many ill effects and had to copy my backup on to the phone.

Does anyone know a way to make the pull down text white so it is legible? or even get the regular pull down back so the black text can be seen. Please let me know.

This is an awesome rom. I have found zero flaws with the rom itself. Definitely my daily driver.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] coachclass:
I'm trying to aggregate a list of hardware issues that might help new Asus owners to decide whether to keep or return their units.

I'm not trying to be a troll or anything. We understand that we're getting a very competitively priced unit, and we're realistic about the short comings Asus has had.

I've been reading the threads, and I'll try to reproduce some of the relevant info here as concisely as possible. If there's errors you see, please reply and I'll edit this first post like a wiki. Hardware issues are kind of difficult to fix, and it's a personal thing whether you decide to deal with the flaw or not. Software, there's hope :)

1) Light Bleed; hardware

To check for light bleed, try viewing a dark screen.

2) Touch sensitivity; software

Maybe fixed by updated version 3.1. If you find yourself repeatedly having to re-tap an icon, check if version 3.1 fixes the issue.

3) Touch screen dead spots; hardware?

Fewer reports of this, but certain spots of the screen don't seem to be touch sensitive at all. You can easily check for this.

4) Charger issue (gets hot, or just dies, etc...); hardware

This one is tougher to figure out first day, and may take some time to manifest. See thread

. Maybe also want to read this charger thread too.

5) Speaker balance; software and hardware maybe.

One speaker louder than the other? Try this. Although there's some left speaker issue that seems to be related to poor QC. See here and here.

6. Speaker pop; no idea if HW or SW issue

Some have this problem. Other people have a different problem.

7) Dead or stuck pixels; hardware

There's no fix for dead pixels. Stuck pixels can occasionally be repaired with the age-old massage technique, flashing the screen many colors for hours at a time.

8) Dust under the screen; Manufacturing

RMA it or seek a replacement from the retailer. Apparently, certain batches of the Transformer were manufactured in less than ideal conditions and dust got trapped under the screen. It's sealed properly, so the problem shouldn't get worse. Replace if it's a problem for you.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Pinkthesink:
I just picked mine up on Sunday and playing around with it on Monday I noticed the back light screen bleed. Its glaringly obvious at full brightness. looking at a pitch black background, the bottom left quarter of the display might as well be grey. All the other corners/edges have it as well, just not as bad. I'm considering returning it.

That's the only issue I have come across.

Keyboard Dock Issues:

1) Battery discharges significantly in standby, or when dock is docked and off.; Software?

Appears to be a problem with dock's firmware. Future fix is a reasonable assumption, though right now, just detach the dock when it's not in use.

2) Crooked hinge, tablet docks at an odd angle and isn't flush; Manufacturing

Various degrees of severity. The hinge may appear crooked, but the tablet may dock flush. If the tablet docks in a weird way and doesn't lay flat and flush against the keyboard, it's probably best to seek a return if it bothers you. No way to fix it; The holes are drilled wrong, lol.

3) Keyboard does not respond to taps not right-on center; Hardware

Seek a replacement. Very uncommon problem, but there are reports. It's worth noting that it should not be difficult to use the keyboard!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] coachclass:
Those who examine the light bleed issue - what menu sequence are you going into to get a "black" screen to better see the light bleed? I just hopped around until I see a menu that's fairly dark, but I haven't come across one that's totally black. And I picked a movie that had dark scenes...but again not totally black.

So, how do you bring up a black screen?

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landshark68:
Nope. That's the only way to get rid of a theme if you are currently running a theme and want to go to not running a theme at all, you have to flash the ROM by itself.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DannyBiker:
Well, ALL imilka's builds are FC the same apps. I tried them all. So to me, it's a buggy work. A rom is to be considered stable when every function of the phone is working with decent speed and with all apps working. I would say that 75 % of my games are FC when they all run fine on other ROMS. Even Earth is FC !

The problem is that most of the 3.0 Sense Roms are using imilka's method as a base so they do have those persistent FC on top of their usual bugs.

Let's face it : development for the HD2 is dying and Sense Roms are the best example to prove it.
