[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skyroket:
Found this thread through a Google search and just thought I'd add my 2 cents.

I used Bionic Recovery Bootstrapper to install CWM recovery (v4.0.1.5). Later, I used ROM Manager to flash the updated recovery (v5.0.2.5). Made some backups. Flashed old recovery using Bionic Recovery Bootstrapper again and tried to restore the new ext3.tar backups I made.

ROM Manager has trouble rebooting to recovery, but Bionic Recovery Bootstrapper can still reboot to the recovery, even though it was the one installed with ROM Manager.

Thanks for shedding some light on this. I am going to reinstall ROM Manager, flash new recovery, reboot to it using the reboot button of Bionic Recovery Bootstrapper app, and restore my backup!

Edit: ROM Manager doesn't have problems booting into recovery anymore (not sure what I must've been doing wrong previously) so I guess I am not even going to use Bionic Bootstrapper anymore, since ROM Manager downloads the most recent version every time.

Sorry if this has been brought up before but the search sucks on mobile xda.

Had an epic previous to this so soft keyboard was not a concern since I had a hard keyboard. What are you typers using and like the best. Right now I'm using swift key x, I like it but would like to try others.
[Nexus S General] Matridom:
I'm hooked on Swype.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
my favourite is the stock GB keyboard, simply the best!

i used to be a swype fan before GingerBread keyboard, but now i find swype very cumbersome

i do not need any real usb or bluetooth keyboard, they are always in the way
[Nexus S General] Enhanced:
Tried em all, but Stock Gingerbread Keyboard always wins.

The only thing I wish was that I could change the smiley key on the bottom right. No one makes smileys like how they have it :-).
[Nexus S General] king23adrianc:
use perfect keyboard. i think u can change it.. not quite sure..
[Nexus S General] kyleds:
Have you tried SwiftKey x.? That's what I use now. I also like 'A.I. Keyboard' you can increase the size of the keyboard to have spaces in between each key. only problem with that one seems that when you reboot your phone it defaults back to stock android gb keyboard and you have to go back to settings /keyboard and re-select it again.
[Nexus S General] corythug:
I do like stock gb keyboard also but I just get much better word prediction out of swift key x.
[Nexus S General] franciscopr:
Utilizo una aplicación para el teclado, que modifica el que llevas de serie por uno completamente personalizable. No utilizo correcciones ni diccionarios, puesto que no estoy acostumbrado, y voy algo mas lento escribiendo, o buscando la palabra adecuada. Todavía no he probado el teclado Swype, ya que me han comentado que tiene algunos problemillas con el diccionario español. Eso si, me han hablado muy bien de Swype.

Un saludo
[Nexus S General] tommi00:
On Froyo I used Swiftkey (without X ;) ) but now the stock GB keyboard is as well as Swiftkey..
[Nexus S General] dwarf77:
I'm also using SwiftKey X (I' currently on brainmaster's MIUI ROM), and I really like the predictions as they are right almost all the time if you have used SwiftKey X for some time.

One special thing why I prefer SwiftKey X over stock GB keyboard is that you don't have to activly save your "personal" words, i.e. you don't have to press a word a second time to save it to your dictionary.
[Nexus S General] Roscopcoletrain:
Yeah another big SwiftKey fan. Works really great. Only thing I'd like to change is the sound of the keyboard. Give me wp7 keyboard sound and I'd be in heaven :p

TouchPal Keyboard http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1188114

I never liked Swype when I used it but TouchPal just feels a lot better to swipe with.
[Nexus S General] corythug:
Never a huge fan of swype either but will check out.
[Nexus S General] Dario777:
Ive tried most keyboards; swype, touchpal, better, stock GB... but I still havent found anything better than SwiftKey X.

It's absolutely brilliant! Definitely give it a try. i find myself not having to type at all and just going with predictions a lot!
[Nexus S General] ekerazha:
SwiftKey X is my favourite, although the stock Gingerbread one is decent too.
[Nexus S General] andornaut:
I tried Swiftkey and Smart Keyboard (free) and ended up going with Smart Keyboard Pro. Either is better than stock gingerbread, IMO. The extra customisations and better suggestions/auto-correct make a huge difference.
[Nexus S General] RushAOZ:
The paid version of stock gingerbread keyboard. You can remove the period and comma keys and make a large space bar across the bottom (I would always unintentionally hit the period key..) and its themeable!! Try it!
[Nexus S General] tailsthecat3:
My daily is TouchPal Curve.

Excellent, excellent swiping with instant prediction and fantastic taptyping.

I aint hatin on swype or swiftkey or thumb keyboard pro or slideIT or SmartKeyboard Pro or perfect keyboard or better keyboard but I cant use them. I own them all, pro versions when available and I was always going back to the stock gingerbread keyboard. Even tried numerous keyboards from other devices. All of them had things that i just didnt like.
[Nexus S General] Duke4eva:
I came from a evo, big keyboard plus HTC. I'm using perfect keyboard customized with HTC theme, and no mic button to make space bar bigger. Love it.
[Nexus S General] mapin0518:
THIS. It's free for a limited time, so grab it now to try it out. It's a combination of Swype's swiping keyboard and SwiftKey's predictive keyboard. I've been using it past two days and really liking it. Much more responsive and faster than Swype, and definitely quicker than pecking with the default GB keyboard.
[Nexus S General] furiousm:
GO keyboard here
[Nexus S General] corythug:
Funny, I've used go everything else extensively but not there keyboard.
[Nexus S General] Acontreras86:
I've used swiftkey x and a few others and recently switched back to Swype. Swype has made some nice improvements. I suggest trying the latest Swype version if you haven't yet
[Nexus S General] Carne_Asada_Fries:
I use SwiftKey in landscape mode and swype in portrait mode thanks to keyboard manager.
[Nexus S General] SunLikeStar:
Have used swype, smart KB & a few others. Now back to stock gingerbread KB :D
[HTC Desire S] mayankshekhar:
i'am currently using CM-7.1.0 RC1 on my DS.

I want to port the original HTC camera app to my current ROM. Is it possible???
[HTC Desire S] fosco_:
I think it is not possible since original HTC camera uses sense framework, and it's not present in CM7
[HTC Desire S] mayankshekhar:
Then can u suggest any good camera apps around. I really don't like the stock app
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
I use Camera 360. It has a ton of features.
[HTC Desire S] mayankshekhar:
K thanks man
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jelly Nugget:
Which is the best?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] APeaceofStrange:
Most (including myself) will say it comes down to what you prefer. I prefer miui because of some of the built in features (launcher, t9 dialer, free themes, lockscreen opens directly to a new message, built in sms popup). Some hate miui cause of the iphone resemblance. I would just recommend you try them both. It's really impossible to say if one is better than the other because they are so different in appearance and features.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kingsway8605:
I prefer cm7. Miui is basically an iPhone clone, and if that was what I wanted, i would buy an iPhone.

Sent from my Incredible 2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
Having spent time with both, and liking Miui, I've gone back to CM 7.

Miui is great for the customizing and has a lot of theme support out there, but the lack of the launcher with app drawer was a turn off (ended up using Adw) as well as the lockscreen was something I could never get to my liking.

I did like the popup Sms alot... The big reason why I switched, I go to the gym every morning and use my phone for an mp3 player...the last three days of using Miui, I kept getting freeze ups with the Miui music player. Could have been kernel related but I'm using the same kernel with CM 7 (tiamat) with no issues, but I'm also using Player Pro (which I could have used with Miui). I hadn't planned on staying with Cm 7, but after using it for the past week, I'm really happy with it now, and will continue to use at as my daily driver. I may flash Miui again to experiment though from time to time ;) I do still keep a part of Miui in my phone though... I really like the Miui Camera app :cool:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
I love miui animations and the settings is better looking. I use launcher pro and its awesome.

To fix the music, go into settings after it freezes and reboots and clear the data in the music app.

I love all the different lock screens and how simple it is. This is not an iPhone with launcher pro. It's android after being cleaned up.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kubes069:
What makes MIUI more customizable then CM7??

I have tried out both and feel like CM7 has more features. Can anyone fill me, or anyone else who is curious, about main features then separate these two roms?

I am currently running Skyraider, but feel myself drifting back to one of the two mentioned before.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Miui has a fully supported theme app that does way more than the cm7 one. I had a lock screen that could open 10 different apps...the notification bar is more efficient too
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kubes069:
Sorry for my lack of knowledge on this Knipp, as I am still trying to learn as I go. I more or less try to teach myself everything, and have done a pretty good job so far, in my eyes at least.

But, when you say "fully supported theme app", i am no so sure i understand what you mean. Does that mean, MIUI has themes with apps built into them?

I appreciate the time you take to reply to my question.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
No problem :-) and Yup go to settings then themes :-)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] artvandelay440:
I love MIUI, mainly because it looks better aesthetically, but that's just my opinion. CM7 is great too.

The deal with MIUI themes is, you can download several different themes and use aspects from each for different things (e.g. use one theme's lockscreen with another theme's notification bar, and a third's icons,etc.)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
I find MIUI to be much more useable and stable too.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rfarrah:
MIUI sometimes gets a bad rap because it CAN look like an iclone, but only if you really want it to: you don't have to theme it that way if you want it to look different.

You can change the look of everything - from the taskbar, to the kind of lock, the lockscreen background, the launcher (although I use LPP), the size and shape of the icons, sms, fonts, and even the dialler - and more. It's pretty impressive, IMHO.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
Thanks for the headsup on the Music fix.I figured it had to be something crazy going on.

I ended up reflashing back to Miui just after my original post earlier today.

Added a few changes that I had been using with CM 7 and now I'm back to the Miui fold once again.

I forgot how much I really do like the Miui experience. I plan to do the update to 1.9.9 later, I'm still on 1.8.26 :o

To the OP... I would give both a try and see which you prefer...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
MiUi 1.9.9 is constantly giving me fc whenever I do anything. Not sure why. It's android.process.alcore, whatever that is. Anyone able to help me? Please pm me if you can.

Sent from my rooted, stock Incredible 2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andrewp3481:
For me its about the aesthetic. MIUI is ridiculously neat and crisp. Yeah I don't care for the iPhone like launcher...but oh well. I do use adw or go launcher from time to time..but the MIUI has those stock folders that are so cool. And just cause the launcher looks like an iPhone isn't so bad. Its still android. We can still do nandroid backups and flash other stuff. We can overclock our phones and play with them all day. IPhones are for yuppies, but....they are onto something with the layout/launcher. In the end it is all up to the user. CM7 is for sure something to try. Having to also flash that gapps.zip kinda is lame but but all of us like hanging out in clockwork recovery. Lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
Yuo, the overall Miui experience is something to be enjoyed. After flashing back a few days ago, I flashed back to CM7 for a few minutes last night, and the first thing that caught my eye was the overall lack of crispness so to speak. Miui sure has the crispness to it. It is a great rom. I do still like CM 7 as well though. after a little theme work it can look really good as well.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jelly Nugget:
How did you theme it like this?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] spiderj:
anyone using miui with the latest JDKernal? is it better with JDkernal or Tiamat?

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Darkpsych0:
Honestly its all based on what you want. If you want something more iPhone like go with Miui if not go CM7. Personally i like stock Sense 3.0 so i'm running Virtuous Unity.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rfarrah:
I was running the latest version of Tiamat and ran across someone using JD Nightly and was professing "Incredible" battery life. So I started test-driving that kernal late yesterday. So far, I'm not seeing anything incredible, but I'm going to give it a couple days to "settle" before passing judgement.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
Which one?

Actually both my version of CM 7 and Miui are basically the same.

I use Adw ex on both, hence the no launcher look. I use Simi Clock, Minimalistic text for icons, Desktop Visiualizer along with Simi Folder to get the apps when pressing the icon.

Pretty bare bones... Biggest diff between the roms on my phone is just in the status bars and the overall menus. Really though they run about the same.

Just kinda comes down to what you prefer
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] black.v00d00:
I don't know about anyone else but I find MIUI to be a bit slower than CM7
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mykenyc:
For some reason the Tiamat kernel feels laggy to me. JD kernel is the first kernel since having my incredible 2 that I stuck with over 5 days, maybe its my phone, but I tried a lot and its just not working out for me with anything but Jdkernel. If you want amazing battery life try out interactiveX governer.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ph1nn:
They are both awesome in their own ways. CM is very AOSP, meanwhile MIUI is very iPhone-like. I would say they are too different to say one is better, but you can say which one has more stability and performance.

Overall, they are both top tier ROMs, but so different that both are worth a try.

CM will be awesome when it goes to IceCream Sandwich... the first ROM to run ICS will be beast.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] spiderj:
I started with CM7 and switched to MIUI. The reason was mostly cosmetic. I dont like the vanilla menus that CM7 has and even when I themed my GO launcher they didnt change. I like that MIUI can be customized much more cosmetically.

In terms of performance, I do not see a difference really but I have not messed with the governer too much.

Is there anywhere that explains the differences between the settings when scaling the governer? Smartass, interactiveX, etc. and what does the setting "set on boot" do?

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] fix-this:
i prefer cm7 but i do love aspects of the miui os.

THANKS!! just what I needed.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andrewp3481:
i goofed it. bad. i was playing with my phone and going from miui to virtuous with sense 3.0. i noticed i started to not have network connection...so then i flashed a radio. ok now im stuck in roaming. the phone turns on..and im able to flash my nandroid backup of miui previous to problem...but still no dice. i also downloaded the RUU and renamed it to just PG32IMG.zip and when i boot up phone into bootloader nothing happens. its on the root of sd and im freaking out. lol. someone please help! i know this is wrong thread, but i know people check this thread out alot.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cory.spicer:
Your phone is disconnected from the USB right? Are you sure that when you renamed the RUU you didn't put 2 ".zip" extensions on it or anything goofy like that? Might even be worth re-downloading the RUU too.

Also, probably wouldn't hurt to do a full wipe before flashing the RUU if you can get into recovery.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rfarrah:
As Cory suggested, when you renamed the file you probably inadvertently added the second.zip because you didn't see the first one there (they are frequently hidden depending upon the file viewer you are using. If you just see one now, remove the .zip you see and try again. Good luck!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zandroid:
I've been a long time user of CM. I had it as soon as it was ported to the Eris. It was light and fast, which is something we were not accustom to on the Eris. When I came to DINC2, CM7 didn't look as crisp on it as the Sense and MIUI ROMs and I have only used it in spurts. I don't like that the Sense ROMs won't allow you to choose the number of screens (coming in Sense 3.5, I think). Don't get me wrong CM is great and I'm thankful for it, and like someone else said as soon as Ice Cream Sandwich drops CM will definitely be worth a look.

I use MIUI mainly for aesthetics. Initially the lack of an app drawer turned me off, but i ended up putting a folder in the dock and the phone and sms on either side of it. It sort of gives you an app drawer and retains the MIUI look.

This definitely has an iPhone look to it, but remember it's a rooted Android phone. There are some themes that are straight iPhone. However, the iPhone doesn't let you overclock, theme, etc. Saying the ROM is a pass because of an iPhone look is short selling it. The iPhone is better than Android in certain cases. Mainly making the menus less convoluted. MIUI does a good job at that too, but looses some of the customization found in CM.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andrewp3481:
Thanks for the help guys. I ended up using half of jcase's method and then realized.the md5 sums of the RUU I had was wrong. I now have Froyo and gb RUU's that work.

Is anyone else experiencing sleep of death problem. Phone goes to sleep mode but doesnt wake up...sometimes the green light also flashes....
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kba712:
Ok...it doesn't seem to be a rom problem..I am on stock now and it did it again...

but I had my wifi to always on and right now i dont have a sim card so maybe they are factors...I will try to have the wifi not always on and try..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xploited:
Never had this. Sometimes i don't press the "turn on" button hard enough, but it's obviously a different issue. :confused:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kba712:
Hmmm...its weird...But i have been doing some research and some people seem to get a similar problem...

to make matters worse..one time when i pressed the turn on button it restarted...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xploited:
Have you tried to recover to stock 2.3.4 with data wipe?

If that doesn't help - could be a hardware issue. (the turn on button got messed up)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paschalis:
i have this problem too..

And i have to use a charge only cable on wall charge or laptop..

With moto stock cable the phone dont start, on the laptop, neither on the wall charger
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kba712:
So I put it on air plane mode and had wifi always on. This time it didn't just freeze when i pressed the power button. the green led in the front went on for a few seconds and it restarted. I didnt have it connected.

I am using the latest stock fruitcake and the phone is unlocked and rooted.

Any ideas about whats going on?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3athsd00r:
This is really odd. The only time I ever had issues similar to this was when I left wifi on while using kholk's kernels, but since you are using stock then its not that.... Try keeping wifi off while you sleep it and see what happens.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kba712:
OK....i think it is definitely the wifi...because i had it in airplane mode and it did not shut off.... so I am guessing the wifi is over heating or something....

Any known solutions for this apart from having the wifi turn off with the screen?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrows:
Most of these "Freddy Kruger" type bugs went away for me when I changed my battery settings to "performance mode"... :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kba712:
I will try with performance mode...so far no sleep of death or restarts
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kba712:
OK guys...a quick update...

It definitely seems to happen when i have wifi on all the time. I used green power to turen off and on wifi periodically and it seem to stop the sleep of deaths and random restarts.

I started using cm7 today..lets see if it stops this from happening. fingers crossed.

thanks you for all the help.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanshanshans:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeMonkey:
Ditto on stock Froyo Orange UK. In performance mode, wifi on/off doesn't seem to be the root cause for me. Hoping that it will improve when I get Gingerbread (probably in 2014 *sigh*)

thanks!! :D
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] (InsertNameHere):
Start reading here, here and here

Basically you need the Dell drivers, the Dell PC Suite, find the fastboot driver pack. Become familiar with using fastboot, which is easy anyway, then download the rom you want to flash and its recovery package using the wiki link, flash and factory reset and your all sorted.

On a sidenote, Stage UI is not that good, not compared to other homescreen/launchers out there, check out ADW Launcher and ADW Launcher EX for example, they are much nicer. There is also StreakDroid 1.9.1 and SimpleStreak 1.2 roms which are very nice releases, these are rooted and allow overclocking, depending on what kernel you use for SimpleStreak.

Good luck
