You can up/down with volume switch and enter menus with Menukey.

Accessing it works with repeatedly pressing vol_down while the xperia logo appears.

I have downloaded it but I want to have a backup before I install it. Any idea how should I go about it ???

I heard it has some bugs is it true as you have already installed it in your cell. Can you please provide me with instructions on how to install this custom rom and how to switch back to backed up rom if any thing goes wrong.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] PoedelPCS:
to backup your whole system you should use the backup of the recovery menu. This should backup your whole system.. it does not backup my kernel though I think it should. Thus you should at least have a boot.img of your current kernel to be flashed back in case of your wish to reflash. You can flash the new kernel only, if you extract it from the update.zip using fastboot. There is the backupfunction in it. This will overwrite your old kernel! Current system won´t run with the new kernel - CWM will. Then you can flash your full update.zip from CWM.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] painedbyyou:
Currently I cannot enter into recovery mode with my existing kernel. I am using doomkernel.

Anyone have a bad battery performance with these builds? I can get about 20-22hrs standby on my xperia active with default install and no calls. Both cell standby and phone idle show about 50% battery usage. While default original rom shows up to 10% for phone idle. Does it mean that phone not going to sleep or not lowering it's CPU speed while being idle? Tried both interactive and smartass gouvernors with same results. Original rom gives me 2 days of standby without a problem.

Device: Desire GSM

I installed insertcoin 1.1.3 on monday and it seemed to have sorted the problems I had with crashing sense.

However I did have a problem with usb detection on win7 64 at one point. I had a demand for a scan pop up- this is something that occured frequently when my camera was still crashing. I cancelled the scan and Win7 sprung me a device error. That had not happened before.

I just unplugged/replugged and the issue was solved.

The next day I saw the 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 updates solved usb tethering issues. I figured why not try and updated, then flashed the kernel (without booting).

Result: windows won't recognize the device anymore, doesn't accept android usb drivers for it (the device returned an error). It is shown as unknown device in device manager. Furthermore, after trying to connect the card can no longer be mounted by the phone.

A restart sorts it, but it's still not very satisfactory. Does anyone have the same problem?

Did I flash the wrong kernel? It said bravo...

Meanwhile I'm going to go back to 1.1.2 and stay there...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Sounds like usb brick. A guide how to fix can be found here on xda.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L2GX:
Not a phone issue

Well I went back to 1.1.2, flashed a different kernel, flashed leedroid, then back to 1.1.2.. all of which gave no joy. Same issue exactly.

However finished my sick leave and it connects fine on my work pc.

So it's probably the cable and I'll check that tonight (was a bit too ill to crawl around the back of my home desk) and report.

(for those who found this by searching I guess RMD recovery is the USB Brick fix.)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
No that's not the usb brick fix, it's a recovery. By using the search one can find a guide extra for usb brick.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keyslapper:
I've been running Nils' V2.2 ROM for several days now, and here's my observations (I'd have made these in the dev thread, but I'm still < 10 posts):

Initially, lots of force closes, but this settled down after a day or so. Occasional hot reboots hung on for another day, but stopped when I installed Tiny's kernel, enabled smartass, and enabled fast-boot. Now, I get an occasional FC on "System App", particularly when I'm playing with configurations, but other than the popup, I see no other side effects. Applications on the SD card are easily lost, and pretty difficult to get back to the SD. When I reinstall and try to move it to the SD again, I get failures once or twice, then it moves. Other than this, I find it a little more laggy than is really ideal. I did eventually overclock the high end, but this only improved the lag a little.

Other mods I installed are the black lock ring, the Rosie 5X4 app drawer, and WildStang83s Bunker Buster DTR.

So, that said, it's a really sexy ROM, and I can't wait to see what comes with V2.3.

First question, will flashing V2.3 wipe out the DTR mod? I'm assuming it will.

Next, if the DTR is wiped, can I flash the same one, or will V2.3 have changed enough that a new DTR is needed?

Thanks a bunch!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
I have run a variant of the GingerSense ROM's for a month, haven't had any of the issues you raised.

Are you restoring anything to the ROM? Particularly system data along with an app?

Assume the appropriate HBOOT, cwm, and minimum radio are in place as well as ample room on the sd card?

Also assume complete wipes of data, caches, system, factory reset, boot, etc?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NilsP:
smtom gave you your answer. If you are getting FC's or any other strange behavior because something like the wrong hboot or residue from the prior ROM is still there.

Follow the instructions in my first post to clean the system out and reflash.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keyslapper:
Thank you both for the suggestions.

When I flashed 2.3 over 2.2, I did clear the cache and Dalvik *before* taking the backup, just to be safe, and it does seem a fair bit snappier now. Still not quite the interface speed I was seeing with stock Sense 1.0, but pretty close, and it really is so much cooler ...

As far as restoring system data, the first time I tried V2.2 (the day it was released), I did make the mistake of restoring some of the system stuff - like Mail accounts - I might even have inadvertently restored the old Mail app itself, which was clearly a dumb thing to do. It was my first non-stock ROM, so I suppose it can be chalked up to Newbie mistakes. Anyway, that resulted in a lot of ugliness that was obviously not your ROM, and I knew it. I was a lot more careful not to do anything so dumb the next time around, but I did get some instability anyway. Maybe something got left behind, I don't know.

Now, I limit restores to user apps and only restore data for some of the more annoying apps to set up - 1Password, DropBox, SugarSync, Facebook, things like that - not GMail, Mail, or contacts. I manually re-enter all the mail accounts and sync contacts from Google.

Wouldn't it be nice if Google gave you the option to track your app installs (free apps too, not just the paid ones) and gave you a batch re-install button?

I probably pushed my luck a little by flashing the DTR before rebooting from the ROM flash, but so far no problems at all.

When I do see a small lag in the homescreens, it seems to hang on for a second or two, then the phone seems to get itself in gear and the home screens flip like nobody's business. I still haven't put Tiny's kernel back on though. I'll stick with the stock version for awhile at least.

I do have SetCPU installed, set to on-demand from 245MHz to 998MHz. I haven't set up any profiles though. I know they are a bad idea with Tiny's kernel, and probably no problem with the stock Gingersense kernel, but I wanted to see how it works with the default configuration for awhile.

I am also using the 2.15.00.07.28 radio. I tried the leaked 2.15.10.07.07 version, but didn't find any improvement, so I went back.

My HBoot is 0.92.

I still haven't put the Rosie 5X4 app drawer back in. I was wondering if there's a way to disable the "paging" scrolling behavior and enable the smooth scrolling that Sense 1.0 used?

Thank you both again.

Nils, this seems like mostly minor updates, but whatever happened, it's a lot more snappy and stable for me now.

Cheers!

Can't set my contact card image

It seems every time I try to reflash, some other minor thing comes up. Up to now, I was always getting the image I had set for my profile on Google with my contact card, and in my Handcent conversations.

Now, not only is my image not there, but I can't set it. Seems I can't set *any* of the contact images. At least before, I could modify my Google contact in the Google web interface, but now I'm not sure that would work.

I've tried fixing permissions through CWM (5.0.2.0), and even tried manually changing permissions on /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts.files/* to 666 as detailed here for a similar issue.

Any ideas what could cause this, or how I could fix it?

Thanks (again) in advance

A week or so ago I replaced my inoperative N1 (2.3.4) with the Sensation and I must say "what a difference" from the UI to speed - a truly 'sensational' device!

However, there are few differences that I was wondering about:

1. Can't seem to config the Sensation re the Display settings to display in night-mode

2. Older version of Market in the Sensation

3. The Sensation's UI doesn't flip to landscape mode when the device is horizontal

By the way, if you haven't tried Elixir 2, I recommend you do.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpabian:
Hey Folks, Just wondering if there are any other G2 users out there that have experienced this. For some time, I haven't been able to get my phone charges fully, and by fully, I mean something close to the reported norm of 97%-100%.

The hightest I got my phone was to 81% and that with a new battery, recalibration, and bump charging. In fact, I've had the phone powered off over night and upon restarting it, it was at 71%.

I've watched logcat to see if anything could be an issue there, I've installed ZDBox, (cool app, btw), and Battery Dr. The good news, is that after uninstalling a few apps and widgets, my battery life seems prolonged, (relatively speaking).

I'm running CM-7.1.0-RC1, 2.6.32.41-cyangenmod pershoot, and using the 26.06.2.27_M radio.

Since I couldn't get a full charge with it powered off, I'm thinking it might be a hardware issue or maybe the radio since so I might try 26.08.04.30 radio. Googling other forums, people were able to get a replacement phone from T-Mobile and some others said their motherboard needed to be replaced.

Any other ideas before I call T-Mobile?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Did you try clearing battery stats?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpabian:
Yes, several times. Good call, though! By clearing the stats, I was able to get to the 81%.

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killj0y:
Have you tried reflashing the rom? Maybe trying a different rom? Clear caches? I dunno I'm shooting for broke i guess....is it an aftermarket battery or stock?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpabian:
Thanks, killj0y. Yes. I did that after posting. I did a Titanium Backup, then Nandroid backup, then wipe, superwipe, then flashed the CM7 nightly, (which is very slick, i might add). After bump charging I was able to get it up to 71%. I let it go down to 0% overnight and now I'm letting it recharge fully.

In about an hour, I'm going to call T-mobile and see if they have any other ideas.

It is an aftermarket battery but it behaves just like the OEM/stock.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You shouldn't ever drain your battery to 0% on purpose. You run the risk of the battery not being able to take a charge. Draining to 20% for battery meter calibration purposes is more than sufficient.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killj0y:
Yea plus aftermarket batteries can and do fail more often than stock. What brands is it?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killj0y:
Do you still have your stock battery? Try using that one and see how it acts. I'm willing to bet it's the battery.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpabian:
The OEM battery I could never get above 71% and the new battery I have it up to 94% now and it isn't charging any higher.

I've had it plugged in for two hours. I have read the warnings about letting the battery drop to 0% and I agree, but I figure one time wouldn't hurt it. I got the second battery, thinking it was a problem with the OEM battery.

Ah! This happened as I was typing this. For the first time in a long time, the LED is green but the battery is at 94%, which I think might be okay.

Maybe the wipe/superwipe/reflash helped? I will keep you all updated and I sincerely appreciate the help and advice.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If that one time results in a battery that won't take a charge, then it hurts. Full discharge is also not good for the long term life of Li ion batteries. And it certainly doesn't help anything to run the battery to empty.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killj0y:
Yea I don't know how many times I've corrected people still quoting NiCd rules for Lithium ion batteries phone or otherwise lol. Anyways if the stock does the same thing it is probably the phone. Especially after a wipe, was it a clean reflash of the rom? Maybe that would work.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpabian:
Here's my update. Kind of interesting.

So, by evening, my phone got down to 4% left of the battery. I plugged it in, (with my factory charger), and ZDBox said it would be 2 hours, 44 minutes until fully charged. Three hours later, it was at 45% full. I rebooted the phone and when it came up, it said it was at 86% full. Then I left it plugged in over night.

This morning, it was still at 86% and I rebooted it again, and then when it came back up it was 93% and within a couple of minutes, the LED turned green.

So, with this new batter, it *seems* slightly better, but I don't understand what's going on. This is weird, if you ask me.

The other bit of info is that at 7AM it was 93% and right now, (9AM, two hours later), my phone is at 72% with the majority of it being consumed by "Cell Standby."

I guess, since this is a new battery, there still might be some calibration/conditioning going on. I am still unsure if this points to a hardware issue with the phone.

Thanks again, for the help guys! I really wonder if I am the only person who is experiencing something like this.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpabian:
Update: 19.09

Things have been a little better, but still not perfect.

I flashed CM7 Nightly, pershoot kernel, and 4.30 radio.

I have only been plugging in the charger when the phone drops below 20%. The phone only charges to 45% - 51%, then I reboot, and when it comes back up, the battery will read anywhere from 88% - 93%.

Once unplugged the batter rapidly drops down to the low 80's - mid 70 percentile and it stays in that range for a much longer time. Then once the battery drops below 40% is drains rapidly.

So, for example it says right now, "7h 54m 58s on Battery" and I'm at 20%. The breakdown is as follows:

Android system: 57%

Cell Standby: 12%

Wi-Fi: 12%

Phone Idle: 11%

Voice Calls: 9%

I'm really frustrated with having to reboot the phone to get seemingly get a full charge.

I think I am going to flash the latest nightly and then reflash the pershoot kernel and see where we are at that point. I still haven't decided if I need to call T-mobile since it could be a hardware issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killj0y:
It really sounds like a hardware issue to me. especially after several so many flashes and batteries...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpabian:
Indeed. I called T-Mobile this morning and they are sending me a new phone. The guy asked me to inspect the battery, contacts, etc. He did ask me if I had put any "modified" software on it.

He also said, if they found modified software on it when they received it back at the shop, I would be charged a $108 restocking fee.

Quick, where's that downgrade guide! :D

Thanks for your help, everyone!
