[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riccarr:
Hello,

I have the CM7 stable 7.0.3 installed and running fine.

I would like to install and use dalingrin's Nook Color Tweaks to get access to the CPU overclocking as well as the speaker volume tweak. Unfortunately the program says I need newer build of CM7.

I see the requirements are:

This app requires kernel support. For audio settings you will need a newer 2.6.32 kernel found in CM7 Nightly 88+ or my(Dalingrin) overclock kernel for B&N Froyo 1.2 and CM7.

For CPU settings you will need a 2.6.32 overclocked kernel from 06/09/11 or later.

Since I just need something later than 6/9/11, I see a RC for 7.1.0 from 6/27/11. Would that be good enough and safer that currently nightly; or should I just go latest nightly?

Also, does installing nightly or RC mean I have to wipe data including my installed apps, so that I have to re-install everything? I see people who are "flashaholics" and I assume their not reinstall apps everyday???

Some of the nightly install instructions I found say to: "Go to ‘Mounts and Storage’ and format /system, /data and /cache partitions one by one, confirming each time."

That sounds to me like all installed apps get lost? I already have Rom Manager so I can just use that to "install Rom from SD" ?

Thanks for reading and appreciate comments.

Eric
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RASTAVIPER:
Just install latest nightly with only wiping Delvnik cache and all your apps will be fine after.

This is how I upgraded from Phiremod.

I know ICS hasn't been released yet, but HTC runs a different OS then the ones with Gingerbread so are they gonna release it for HTC Inspire to?

Hope so cause i would like to check it out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pirateghost:
uhhhhhh.......

and where did you hear that HTC phones dont run Gingerbread???

because thats completely false....
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
You see, this is the kinda stuff that should be in the q and a section. Complete noob kinda material.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyliho:
WoW

Listen up pal, lemme help ya a bit.... (To be honest, re-reading your post, and again reading, I can't make heads or tails of what your asking. Will ICS be an available base for Inspire Devs to work with? Is that closer to what your suggesting, or asking?)

When the Inspire was released it was running Froyo, and when GB leaked the Devs with thier almighty wizardry developed a Rom(s) based on GB that could be flashed on rooted phones. Then HTC provided OTA updates for folks not rooted, which in turn gave most (all) Inspire users a Gingerbread based Sense Rom. Now that may not be all perfectly explained, but maybe it will help you to reassess how your question or statement is asked.....

Check this out. Opened a new Tab - Googled Ice Cream Shop Android and there it was.

Google wants ICS rolling out soon to compete with Apple - and it will be an available upgrade for existing smartphone users capable of running 2.3 (or 2.2 don't remember) They want all capable Android devices to be able to integrate with this new OS. SO my bet is this, once it drops those wacky wizards will be all over it - and a rooted user will see it before HTC pushes it out OTA

Edit: Your not grasping this the right way mate, so let me sum it up better. It's not a question (referring to thread title) of is ICS for HTC. ICS is an Android OS, which means its for Android powered devices. HTC, Samsung, Motorola, etc will use ICS for thier newest ANDROID powered devices, following that will probably be the dev versions, then official OTAs will follow - HOPEfully. Damn. That was tough........ ....... ...... .......
[HTC Inspire 4G] SBasham:
Sorry for the confusing question.

In other words, you're saying that all android phones (Running Sense or other OS) will be updated ICS?
[HTC Inspire 4G] trell959:
Sense isn't an OS. Its a UI. Sense is built on top of android OS 's like 2.2.1, 2.3.3. The HTC inspire will not be getting ICS. But as an EXAMPLE if it did, the OS would be ICS and sense would be built on top of it as a UI.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SBasham:
Ok that was the answer i was looking for. Thank you.

Just curious do you happen to know WHY its officially not getting ICS?
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyliho:
Lol, no apology necessary bud, but please don't be offended when I say you really should read a little something or other (Google "What is HTC Sense UI") to better inform yourself about your Phone. One last try bud - here we go. Ready?

Android powers your phone. Sense is a UI (user interface) which allows you to navigate through your phones OS or Operating System. Think of it like this bud - if Google is your car - Sense is the steering wheel. So if you go and buy another Inspire, The O.S. will be Gingerbread, How you will tell the OS what to do next, will be Sense. If that doesn't answer anything - then its someone else's turn...
[HTC Inspire 4G] SBasham:
I got it with this post

gingerbread is the skeleton, sense is the skin.
[HTC Inspire 4G] trell959:
In my opinion, HTC devs wont see a reason to rebuild sense over a new android build when they just released gingerbread. But more than likely there will be ICS roms
[HTC Inspire 4G] SBasham:
Ok. I hope there is a stock ICS rom cause i want to check it out but not have stupid add ons.
[HTC Inspire 4G] trell959:
Hmm. We will have to wait and see ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyliho:
I was just asking your opinion on this and my battery died. They said ICS would support devices less than a year old. So we know the Devs will get thier hands on it, but it might be in HTCs interest to upgrade as Google is wanting a multi-device compatibility and interaction like iPhone, IPad, etc.... What I hope doesn't happen is HTC holding out an Update solely to encourage upgrading.

Edit: Sounds Promising, Looks and Sounds Stellar, we shall wait and see indeed. SBasham - I re-read my post and wanted to apologize for sounding snarky. Totally didn't mean to be a downer bud!

That's my cue its pillow time....
[HTC Inspire 4G] SBasham:
haha its fine you didn't sound snarky to me.

It looked like you and Trell were the same person cause the AT&T icon.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyliho:
Trell is a lot more informed than I am. I would probably take his advice, or answer as wielding more authority.

Thank you! :D

You may forgot to configure the sd card for your the rom you flashed. Just boot into recovery, wipe everything, configure sd card and then flash rom again.

just try another rom. see how that goes

yup. had similar when i hadnt done a full wipe. Also might be dependent on which 2.3 ROM you are trying to flash ... some require new HBOOTs etc .....
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyryck:
Hi,

I just bought an Atrix thas is Retail FR (4.2.11.MB860.Retail.en.FR) and the guy told me not to flash it with Bell's rom. I know Android's basis, what's a rom, cm7, bootloader ect.. As I had some before but I'm new in Atrix's world and saw flashing the wrong rom could brick the Atrix so I don't want to risk anything and would like a few more infos.

So it's now in 2.2.2 and I'd like to flash a custom rom or at least get it to gingerbread, could you please tell me which one should I like for or which type is good and which one is not good ? ( Same for kernel)

Thanks in advance,

Zyryck

P.S : Does it make a difference that my phone is a FR Retail (he bought it from France)

Since I went android, I've had nothing but HTC phones. I loved my Eris, incredible, & now thunderbolt. I've been following up on all these tech news, and I am starting to get curious of other phones. So my question to you all is, what phone would you guys consider outside of HTC? I've been following up on the 5" Samsung galaxy q that we only have rumors about, mainly because it has a bigass screen and I currently don't own a tab. If it had usb host mode then it would be a no brainer for me. I'm sold. But I looove HTC tho. I wish they could make a 5" phone/tab.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
5" phone = even worse battery life than the 4.3" ones.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
More screen to hide a REAL battery beneath though. Still, I'm not a fan of looking like a world-class dork holding a phone nearly the width of a 2x4 to my head for a call. Not to mention it probably looks about as garish as a Desert Eagle strapped to your side beneath a shirt or jacket. Who was it that made that phone/tab thing that was just HUGE? Dell, I think it was. Too massive to be a good phone, too dinky to be a good tablet... The only thing to out-class it in "WEIRD..." is that frankenphone Kyocera makes with the unfold-expand-"I'm a Nintendo DS Android!" thing.

That said, I'm a Samsung fan in all reality. Up until I went BlackBerry, that's all I would buy. And then Samsung met Android and began gene splicing with... SOMETHING... and I do NOT like it. It's the digital equivalent of a butterface. It's all sexy and smooth inside and out, but then you look at the screen and say "oh dear... there's NO way I'm gonna live with that hook-nose, acne-scarred, Jay Leno chinned monstrosity of a UI. The ONLY thing worse than AOSP and it's mutant launchers, in my opinion, is WizTouch, or whatever it's called. That would disappear from any Samsung I owned within hours.

As for Motorola... I'll quote myself. "There's some boner-inducing devices". Quirky TI CPUs that leave you asking "Where's the GHz?", pale and pasty screens, Motorola's world-famous garbage radios, E-Fuse, and a LONG history of making some of the worst phones ever. Any Motorola is the last device I'd own.

LG... At least they didn't try to be original and fail. Looks like ADW on AOSP mostly. More junk radios though.

I'm sure most didn't see it coming 5 or 6 years ago, but HTC does seem to be where it's at, with Samsung on their heels. Now if Samsung would just ramp up capacity on those AMOLED screens and outsource them again, little puppies wouldn't have to die.

Have you guys actually played with a Dell Streak?

As soon as I did, I understood the following...

5"=too big for phone unless you ALWAYS use bluetooth
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
I might be wrong, but I thought there was already a 5" samsung on ATT. If so I would agree you better try holding up to your ear and putting in your pocket before you sink money into buying it. Trying it there right now would be a good sign whether you should forget about buying it whenever it comes to verizon.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eraursls1984:
I'm guessing none of you are big guys, I'm 6'2" and I have large hands and 4.3" phones are a little small when in landscape and typing. Another 1/4-1/2" would be perfect for me, while others still think a 3.7" screen is the sweet spot. Also you have to keep in mind that the rumor is that these new phones with larger screens have smaller bezels.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
I'm 6'4 so a little on you :). However, I use swype so typing in landscape works okay for me. Normally do it with just my thumb. Other keyboards that use touch typing, well...results may vary :)

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iflip:
Lol. U guys are a trip. I'm 6"2 but I do feel like my thunderbolt is kinda adequately sized. But I'm a photographer, I like to view my images on something other than my camera when I'm nowhere near my imac. I don't own a laptop. And the tablet market has not caught up with the multimedia market yet. But I'm aware some phones and tablets have usb hosting mode. So a phone/tablet would be ideal. 5.3" screen would be an adequate in-between size for tablet and phone use imo. But the idea of usb host is what would sell me on something like that. It may not even be a possibility for that matter so... Well just have to wait n see.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mynameisfyl:
I have to use an AT&T phone for work so I chose the Atrix...it's pretty decent since it got updated to 2.3.4 but the UI is absolute garbage. It's snappy like I want it to be, but you are exactly right about the colors on the screen being incredibly muted. At the end of the day though I am quite happy to switch to my bolt.

I have been a bit curious about the Bionic that seems like it may actually be coming out soon-ish. If they did something about the terrible color quality it could potentially be worth looking into. My wife just got a Droid 3 because she refuses to have a phone without a physical keyboard...it's not terrible. Haven't played with it too much, but from what I have played with I wasn't too disappointed with.

I'd still want to stay away from Moto phones for a while. Any influence google will have over them probably wont happen until the generation after the next so whatever comes out later this year will probably be similar to what Moto has done in the past.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mynameisfyl:
Well damn....I am curious to see what comes out of Google buying them.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
Yeah, I'd say most of what is in the bionic is already set other than some software tweaks they may do. Hopefully it wont have blur on it, but I wouldn't hold my breath since it's a phone that's been in the works for a while.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eraursls1984:
Some people just want the best hardware build quality and for that you have to get Motorola. As long as the bionic gets rooted I want it. I'm trying to hold out on a replacement phone until it comes out because I won't use LG or Samsung and this is my 4th thunderbolt so my next replacement they will replace with a different 4g phone. The thunderbolt has good software, with its bugs but all phones do, and the BAMF roms are great but the poor build quality of these phones is something I'm not gonna deal with anymore. I've played with a incredible and it seemed much better in terms of quality so I wouldn't write off HTC phones like I have LG and Samsung, I just think its because they rushed to get a 4g phone out.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
Sorry man... I'm just gonna have to disagree with you on the whole Motorola build quality thing. I've gone though so many of those phone it's not even funny. The electronics and radios they use are garbage. My dad had a thing for Motorola for some ungodly reason and had these things laying around all over the place. Every time I activated one to give to someone it either buzzed so loud you couldn't hear anything, the mic would just randomly die, the controls didn't work/respond, the displays looked like crap, and without a single exception, NONE of them had a radio in them worth a damn. I couldn't even call into customer service to complain because the POS wouldn't work on the switchboard! Totally and completely worthless devices that couldn't so much as hold a signal to receive a text while I'd be on my Samsung chatting away. They sold those POS Razr's like crack to addicts, but they were garbage! Now my buddy has a DX that flips on and off, hangs up in calls, just stops responding, and goes and does stuff all by itself. Surprised? I wasn't. Pretty par for the course given what I've seen Motorola crank out for the last 6 years. I told the last guy who tried selling me on a Motorola that he'd have an easier time selling condoms in a convent. It's not often I hate on a product or company this much, but honestly, if they were giving Bionics away for free I STILL wouldn't activate one on one of my lines.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
Samsung has been iffy in the past, mainly due to the craptacular filesystem they used (rfs, their crappy hack of a crappy file system (ntfs)). However, the galaxy s2 has ext4 so those issue should at least be resolved. Not saying it will be the perfect phone, but I haven't seen many complaints of those that currently have it on GSM phones and it's definitively not as fugly as the charge. If it came between the bionic and the s2, no way would I go for the bionic.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eraursls1984:
I had 2 Razr's and they had great radios and really good call quality. I also had a Droid X and the radios and call quality are unmatched. The X did lag a bit when I first got it but once I rooted it and changed the memory settings with autokiller it ran smooth, then every new ApeX or Liberty rom ran smoother and smoother. The thunderbolt was much smoother stock but it's about the same once rooted and running a rom. There are a few games and apps that run better on the thunderbolt and some that ran better on the X. The thunderbolt's radios are good, but don't compare to the X's. I got reception and 3g signal in many places where the thunderbolt drops signal. All devices have lemons and a lot of refurbs are crap, thats why I think most people that goes through multiple crap phones (like me) is because they got one of the few rejects from the factory and then it keeps getting swapped for other peoples rejects.

I may be headed back to BlackBerry....

... I'm on my 4th HTC phone and I am VERY pleased with my Thunderbolt but... one of the main reasons I want a smart phone is email and there are only two choices for email, BlackBerry and SUCKS.

I've been searching Craig's List, Ebay, etc. for a deal on a current BB to use. I'd just activate my BB 9630 but it was the victim of illiteracy when someone misread "BlackBerry" as "Chewtoy!" and proceeded to use it as such. I pointed out his mistake but he just wagged his tail and gave me that "Don't be mad, LOOK HOW CUTE I AM!" look that all puppies learn. Since he has the bite pressure of a crocodile, thanks to his pitbull ancestory, the BB was severely mangled and eventually trashed.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faisaliqbal:
Hi,

I recently got an atrix [Bell Canada] and have been a happy user. However couple of days ago, I encountered a very strange problem. My phone has lots of free internal storage and a small 1GB memory card. Few days back, when I was taking pictures from the camera [default storage: internal], I noticed that the camera wasn't saving the pictures at all. It would take the picture, I'd hear the shutter sound thingy but the picture wasn't saved [there was no error message]. Upon further inspection, I noticed that all my previous pictures as well as all the songs were gone. I was travelling at that time and just switched the storage location to memory card and camera started saving pictures.

Today when I got home, I connected the phone to pc and my internal storage area is almost empty [just 71MB used by some applications]. I've lost all my pictures and songs from the storage and apparently there's no trace of them. I'm definite that I was listening to music and viewing pictures at least one day before I noticed this problem, and in between I didn't see anything strange on the phone.

Has anyone any clue what might be the cause and if there's a way to recover the old stuff? Searching the forums/google didn't yield anything. Here's the version num etc.

System Version: Blur_version.0.37.23.MB860.BellMobility.en.CA

Android Version: 2.2.2

Baseband version: N_01.77.15P

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9

Build Number: OLYLA_U4_0.37.23

It is a stock froyo with yet locked bootloader and no root.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Larkine:
I've had the problem where the internal sdcard periodically gets wiped.

I know two causes for this problem:

1. A defective app. The first time it started happening to me was right after I had installed Go Launcher. I saw another user posted about it, and I uninstalled it - and after that, the problem dropped almost completely.

2. If the volume itself is damaged, Android will either attempt a repair, or wipe the entire volume. This most likely will have occurred when people are in the habit of just pulling the USB cable out without properly unmounting the volumes from the PC first. The best way to deal with this is to format the volume (full format, NOT quick format) and make sure to always unmount the drives before pulling the cable. Note that when you format a volume for Android (whether it's the internal sdcard, or the external one), it's best to use a 32k allocation size.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faisaliqbal:
My SD card seems intact. I did plug the phone with the PC but I didn't mount internal storage [selected None in the USB Connection notification]. Also I didn't have any launcher installed. All the apps I had looked pretty harmless [all very common and/or by well known publishers]. Anyway, it seems like the problem would remain a mystery. Everything seems normal now. Thanks for your answer.

Side question: Is it safe to format the internal storage? I assume OS, apps, and other critical data is stored on the ROM which is separate.
