I tried several ways to conserve battery and finally decided that it just isn't worth it to me to have to stop running game apps, to have to set the phone up a specific way, to carefully monitor what each app does etcetera. I went out Tuesday and bought a extended battery from a Verizon store. With discount I paid $25.00 for the battery and cover. I am now getting right around twenty five hours total battery life off one charge and I have watched videos, played games, played music, and did whatever else I could think of to kill that battery. I am ecstatic with it. Now when I am out overnight mountain climbing with the missus granted I will undoubtedly kill some apps. Wouldn't do to run into BigFoot, Smokey the Bear, and Jason Vorhies with a dead battery and no chocolate bars ( since she for some reason feels I should diet) now would it?

ps. I made sure it had antennaes on the cover. It has more than my original cover does. And the clerk had no clue why i was even asking about the antenaes on the cover

Reps are pretty clueless, in general. They're sales people and that's about it. That's what cracks me up when I see these goofy "corporate memos" that supposedly when out to stores with stuff like RUU and radio version numbers on them. Like the geek behind the counter actually knows any of that???
[Thunderbolt General] TDubKong:
Yea tell me about it. At the Verizon kiosk in Costco I actually argued with the guy because he was spouting off about the Specs on AT&T phones being better than what were on the Thunderbolt. Saying how much better AT&T was and all this stuff. I listened for only a few minutes before I realized he was an imbecile. He was just throwing out things that made him sound like he knew what he was talking about. And yea you read that right. This brain fart of a human being was promoting AT&T from a Verizon kiosk

[Thunderbolt General] WorldOfJohnboy:
If you can point me to a ROM that has full Sense 3.0 and the latest GB leak, please point me in that direction.

Considering I do use a bunch of Apps that can use GPS (Foursquare, Weather, and my Car Dock=Car Home) and I don't always need GPS on to do what I do in them, I choose to have GPS inactive as to not chew up more battery than is necessary.

I have never and will never use a task killer. Tasker is basically a way to create a 'macro' or series of them to help do things without having to click 18 different things on your phone. Apples to oranges.

As I said, if there is a viable full Sense 3.0 ROM with the latest RUU out there, please let me know what it is. Until that happens, I will use Tasker to fix the flaws that exist in my current RUU/ROM.
[Thunderbolt General] bp328i:
Really...newer kernels don't work with BAMF 3.0 RC4.9??? That's funny because I'm running Ziggy's latest on BAMF 3.0 RC4.9 with working WiFi and camera, front and back.

Out of all the 3.0, 2.1/3.0 ROM's this is the only one that I have never missed a call because I could not answer the phone because of the end only call bug.

It might be an older ROM but it's still one of the best for this phone.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
UberBAMF, Adrynalyne's side-project BAMF, both of the Gingeritis ROMs, Th3ory's ROMs, Synergy... Where the Ziggy kernel came from. Maybe I'm wrong and 4.9 uses the 2.07 base. I've used nothing but 2.07 and newer Chingy ROMs for the last 2 months as daily drivers and I've never once seen this "end call only" bug.

Ziggy's kernels aren't freely available so I don't consider it an available custom kernel.
[Thunderbolt General] bp328i:
Anyone that downloads Gingeritis, or Synergy has full access to Ziggy's kernels. I would call that freely available. Either which way they still work on BAMF 3.0 RC4.9.

As for the ROM's you listed not one of them are a full Sense 3.0 ROM like RC4.9.

If you have never had the end only call bug consider yourself lucky because there are theads on both themikmik and team BAMF about this bug.
[Thunderbolt General] Schedonnardus:
End-call only bug is real. In 2 months of running bamf (currently on uber 3), I've encountered it once. Others have been plagued with it. Basically, when someone calls, it only displays the large "end call" button.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
I hardly call Ziggy's kernel freely available by any stretch of the imagination. That's like saying iOS is free to anyone to use. Not really if you ONLY get it with this product or that! Ziggy also flouts the GPL like it's no big deal, so obtaining his source is nigh impossible. He's got one of the least available kernels that exists.
[Thunderbolt General] Barkleyfan:
Sense 3.0 is eye candy. Like live wallpaper, its cool for a day, that's about it. And Rosie launcher is weak. I mean, if that's your thing, cool. It's your phone. But AOSP roms are far beyond BAMF, and far more stable. Shift B2 is the best rom I've run on my Bolt, hands down. With G+ loaded I get between 18-22 hours moderate use. Without G+ I can get a little over 28 hours. This is all 3G, as our towers havent been upgraded yet here in BFE. I understand the desire for battery life on stock battery. I pocket mine for 8 hours a day, so extended battery is unappealing. I underclock to 768 and my phone is still more responsive than it was with sense at 1.4.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz@gmx.co.uk:
Hi Guys n Gals.

So i just unlocked my bootloader, at least i believe so..(no sony text anymore)

But i used a fresh 2.3.3 stock rom to do it. Now i have 2 questions..

1) can i "restore" my Z's cm7 rom just as usual via recovery/will this affect (or be affected by) the bootloader unlock?

2) Can i continue with flashing/installing new roms etc.. just as before?

Sorry, but i don't know and searching gave me no clue!!!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderX:
Judging from what I read in the forums,

1) Yes

2) Yes.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:

nothing you could do can re-lock it. ;)

So... happy flashing and restoring!! LOL!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teddymild:
So its safe to flash fps and audio fix by z right?

How about flashing kernel other than doom's(thjap, goro n other)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz@gmx.co.uk:
Ok, thank you for clarifying, 1 thing I realised is that it was permanent, I was just worried I might brick it with something!!

Mods, once this info is clear in any guide please delete.

Cheers :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kloud_:
so far doom has come out with a kernel for unlocked BL... so I'd say its presumably safe to use atm. As for the rest custom kernels, please wait... we don't want a brick sitting in our hands now. Do we?! :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
You can do anything with your phones, exactly like before the unlock.

It will remain unlocked permanently.

You can flash all the zips in the world, the bootloader will still be unlocked. ;)

I, for one, use goro's kernel at the moment, exactly as I did before.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz@gmx.co.uk:
My impression, we can treat the new ftf.kernels as directly replacing the original stock kernel. Therefor no need to use bypass at all. Can someone confirm this please?

Thanks.

above thanks was at you!, i'll hit the button too. :)

I have started to tweak my stock rom, so far so good :)

can somebody tell me, if i want to take the "other" tweaks from here (Doomlords' "collection of tweaks")

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bumsoil:
I have been on magldr for a few months now, I found that close data drops made it unuseable. Have there been any improvements at all with clk? I don't want to keep switching g back and forth to test it anymore.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ph03n!x:
I have been on cLK with ril wrapper b4 - I have never faced data issues, and even when I have a problem it is because of my cellular provider's signal or data issues.

Switch to cLK, and flash ril wrapper beta4 - you should be fine. Also ensure your radio is .15 or .12.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] YZ:
I have been using Clk since it came out.. Never faced any problems.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gghose:
Although many report no problems with the beta4 wrapper, I think this is carrier dependent. I'm on T-Mobile in the US and still have TONS of problems with clk and both the beta4 and beta5 wrappers.

Probably going to give up and go back to magldr.....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kylew1212:
Maybe it's the area.. I'm on T-mobile as well and have no problems.

cLK uses PPP and MAGLDR uses RMNET

In most newer rom builds PPP is much more stable although I do not know why. Lots of people are reporting bugs with RMNET especially on ICS(which is still beta, but very stable)

Hope this helps!

Not much to do except themeing and rooting at the moment for a stable phone.

thanks everyone for your help

i really appreciate it

i followed the namaste tutorial and now have a rooted arc with 3.0.A.2.181 generic firmware

my next question and probably most important one

how do i unlock the phone to use on a different carrier?

when i insert my sim from other carrier it asks for SIM unlock code? do i have to call them to get this?

thanks again
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icet925:
No mate, you must buy an unlock code from a trusted website.

I highly doubt the carriers will give you an unlock code.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inc188:
any recommendations for a site to get the unlock code?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LenAsh:
Not sure why you bought a brand new locked phone to a carrier you don't use? How strange. Anyway, your carrier should sell you an unlock code. In the UK this is usually GBP15.

I would also avoid fiddling too much with custom firmware - what little exists is very early in development and rather rough. The stock SE firmware is actually very good.

The most I would do if you want to debrand is to flash a generic stock SE ROM and then actually use your phone and enjoy it.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inc188:
thanks alot

i did flash it with generic rom. so thats good to go

i still dont know why i rooted it because i dont see a use for it so far... will have to wait and see

any experience with Cellunlocker.net?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frenchdroid:
Yes - I used them. I got the code in the end but it took ages - maybe it will be different now. It was expensive though. Doesn't Omnius-Server unlock phones and you get the bootloader unlocked at the same time - its way cheaper than cellunlocker too.

not sure why its blocked but just contact him directly here in xda-forums.

"sim unlock" allows your phone to use any networks and not just where your phone was subsidized from. means can use any sim card and network worldwide. of course if you will just stick to your current provider and not intend to go to other country and use the sims there, maybe you will not need sim unlock. also, a sim unlocked phone has more value in terms of resale.

"bootloader unlock" allows your phone to be programmed to use other software or system which is either a modified form of software from Sony Ericssson (often with enhancement) or even a whole new system for the phone which makes it look and work differently from the original. it is for more technically expert users.

For me, i am ok with Sony Ericsson stock, but I do appreciate the bootloader unlock as it allows me to flash doomlord's kernel makes downclock phone max speed possible to save battery life. it also gives root access already which offers full control of the programs running in the phone.

For your requirement, sim unlock is enough. But I believe Blagus solution when done, does already a sim unlock AND enables the phone to be bootloader unlocked. Note that it just "enables unlocking", its still choice to have it remained in locked state. Because sim locked phones have locked bootloaders and cannot be unlocked using the Sony Ericsson publicly provided procedures.

[General Questions and Answers] Duke1agn:
I rooted my phone using 1-click a few days ago. Decided it wasn't for me, and unrooted today using the GB SBF file and RSD Lite 5.3.1.

However, after running SBF and RSD, there are a few things that i have questions about, regarding if the process was completed normally:

1. The custom wallpaper I had is still there. Is this normal? I was under the impression that when you ran the SBF and RSD that your phone would be back to the '"out of the box" state.

2. All of the downloaded apps I had are still there and running. Is this also normal?

3. All of the apps that I had frozen are back up and running. I assume this is standard.

So with all that said, does the RSD/SBF procedure essentially just unroot the phone back to how it was directly prior to rooting it?
[Milestone XT720 General] bmm1893:
Hi, I have a motorola milestone xt720.

I recently flashed dext3r's Motoblur on it and it is running fine but it has many bugs and I just want to return to froyo.. Which is my problem.

There are a few problems I am running into

-RSD Lite 4.9 doesn't recognize my phone

-Booting in recovery mode doesn't work (It shows a triangle with yellow exclamation with a phone laying down next to it)

I just can't find a guide that solves my problem, if any one could PLEASE help it would be awesome, i'm sick of the bugs on MOTOBLUR (which by the way was downloaded for XT720)
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
So to solve the rsdlite thing, make sure you have USB debugging on and then it should recognize your phone.

For the recovery issue, what happens after your triangle goes away? How many options do you have? If it is only 4 then you are in stock recovery and not a custom recovery like Androidiani or Mioze's. Both these and their guides are on this General forum.

Now for the "stock" ROM part. Look in the Development threads. There are plenty of options in there from CM6/7, Hellmonger's ROM,...gotta look though. When you say return to froyo, it is cryptic bc aside from Korean, there is no froyo to return too. They are all custom.
[Milestone XT720 General] bmm1893:
-Yes the phone is in debugging mode and it doesn't recognize my phone.

-The triangle doesn't go away, it stays there until i take out the battery again

-I will try those mods but knowing my luck they won't work.. I will use dext3r's froyo is what I mean to return to froyo, go through the whole process of flashing it to my phone again

Thanks for the reply
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
Put on Mio's CM6 RC3. Best ROM created yet for the XT720 in my opinion, really good stuff.

Definitely don't bother with Dexter's stuff at this point, what with all the amazing ROMs that have been created since Feb of 2010.
[Milestone XT720 General] bmm1893:
I will try that! IF I can get this to work without bricking my phone or anything :'(.

I've about given up on this phone, it has SO many problems and it's just slow in regards to processor speed and internet, 4G is out..
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
Don't give up on it yet. In the last 4 months we have gotten 4 really incredible ROMs. If you can boot up fully, install Mioze's recovery (I was mistaken before, it is in the Dev threads not General). The install CM6 or Hellmongers and never look back.

Most of us got this phone with a fresh 2.1. Now look what we have, thanks to some very talented people.

Good luck. Bedtime for now.

Edit: Aside from screwing with the bootloader, it is almost impossible to actually "brick" your phone. Get it to be unresponsive, yes. You can flash back to stock sbf and redo everything, but bricking is a tough thing to do.

You can overclock your CPU with Milestone Overclock from the market. Good starting point is 1000/66. Now I am going to bed.

Yeah it can boot fine, I can send messages and everything, it just has numerous bugs.

[Atrix 4G General] razorbladex401:
I've built the launcher from source. I've only tested this on pre-beta3 and pre-beta4. From what I can tell it's safe to uninstall ADWlauncher and just run the Gingerbread Launcher.

Option 1

Download - Launcher2.apk

http://www.mediafire.com/?85gd6yew4yrsf0g

Update: Added some screenshots. Sorry if one of them looks like it's an overlay. I was using the screenshot tool from CM7 and it makes the black wallpaper look a bit transparent.

Option 2 (Full ROM)

Here's a working CWM ROM package. This is a full wipe as it's the entire pre-beta4 release with ADWLauncher removed and Launcher2 installed.

Instructions:

- Create a backup of current ROM or APPS

- Reboot into recovery and select "wipe data/factory reset"

- Then go to Advanced and "Wipe Dalvik Cache"

- Now you can install the ROM, "install zip from sdcard"

Download - pre-beta4 w/Launcher2

http://www.mediafire.com/?6z4b6c864k66nm2

Option 3 - Install via CWM

Download - AOSP Launcher CWM package

http://www.mediafire.com/?v1t2ci1062qkm3b

Note: Can be installed right after initial install of pre-beta4. (worked for me anyway)

Instructions:

- Create a backup of current ROM or APPS

- Reboot into recovery and select "wipe cache"

- Then go to Advanced and "Wipe Dalvik Cache"

- Now install the zip using the "install zip from sdcard"

I'd like to note that I am not part of the Atrix-dev-team and all thanks should go to them. They created the ROM and have worked hard to get it to this point. I only replaced the launcher.
