[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bull_Moose:
I believe they are using a ported GB since most ROMs were made prior to the OTA. They may update their ROMs with the official one over time.

I think we were all nervous our first time, but it's really not that hard. Here's a video tutorial. Granted, he's using a Mac lol

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakob95:
I was wondering if most of these ROMs could even handle 3.0 or 3.5 on the Incredible, like does it lag or force close? Because I heard to run 3.0 good you need to have a Dual-Core processor.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bull_Moose:
The ROMs with 3.0 ported from the Desire run very smooth. Other than that they run a little laggy, but not bad.

I'm running Sense 3.5 ported from the Bliss at the moment. It's not too laggy but not as snappy as it could be had it been made for a single core device. There's a 3.5 leak which was built for a 1.5ghz phone floating around that may spawn some new ROMs for our beloved Incredible.

Which do you know is faster? Are any of the two based on the Incredibles 2.3 update? Or its a ported 2.3?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bull_Moose:
The list just may not be updated yet.

As for the two linked to, I have used both and found that Desired Inc runs smoother than Nils' Business Gingersense 3.0. HOWEVER, I would strongly recommend you check out Nils' Business Gingersense 2.1/3.0. It has elements of both versions of Sense and is amazing. It's FAST, has a ton of features, stable, and is very pleasing to the eyes. By far my favorite ROM.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakob95:
What do you mean it has elements of both versions? So its basically 2.1 but themed like 3.0?

And how about http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1253271 that ROM how does it compare to the Desired Inc ROM/Gingersence 2.1/3.0?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bull_Moose:
His 2.1/3.0 hybrid has 3.0 widgets and apps whereas the ROM itself is built on a 2.1 base. (I think, don't quote me on it) Either way, it's a damn good ROM.

I've never used Ace Revolution. Nearly everything Joelz puts out gets high praise so you can try it. Some have reported losing root but that can be fixed by restoring an old backup.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakob95:
It would be faster to be on the 2.1 right? I was wondering whats faster the Nils rom or the regular stock 2.3?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bull_Moose:
I would say Nils. It is extremely fast.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakob95:
What would be faster the stock 2.3 ROM OTA, or that 3.0 ROM of Desired?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteAssBrent:
I completely agree, Nil's is probably the fastest Sense 3.0 ROM. I've only tried a couple 3.0 ROM's but Nils was much better then the others I've tried and have been using it for nearly 2 months now hooked.

Also, I started using Tiny's GingerSense Kernal and that too makes Nils ROM run smoother and faster.

Good luck rooting and then flashing your first ROM... You fear the worse every time not knowing what could happen but it's really not that bad and (knock on wood) I think its much tougher to brick your phone then you might think, as long as you follow the directions.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bull_Moose:
Really depends on the specific ROM. In general, a stock is going to be faster than a port but you really just have to try various ones until you find one that you like.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakob95:
Actually I used to install ROMs all the time on my old LG ally.

Wow I installed the Desired ROM its so nice. I love it... Its not slow too... Didn't try out Nils yet.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteAssBrent:
I've never tried that one and I think it's the one I was looking at yesterday called the Desired HD 3D ROM... it looks nice. I'll have to flash it and see how it compares.

How long did it take to boot up? I just installed following the install process wiping everything clean but stuck at the htc splash for about 15min now...

I would have to say to look at joelz9614s sense 3.0 work like ace revolution he has goin on.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakob95:
Well the instalation took about 5min. I wasn't stock on the HTC splash but was stuck on the next screen were there was an Android for about 10min.
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
I've had this issue over and over and found a fix for it. Your pix are there. Don't delete the grey box with ! in it or you will lose your pix for sure. There is also no need to reformat your card. Reformatting has been linked to high blood pressure and short card life.

Here is the fix.

Open your file explorer (I use Root Explorer) and go to sdcard/dcim/.thumbnails.

-You should have two entries at the very top called Thumnaildata with some numbers at the end. One will have a large size and one will have a size of 0.

Delete them BOTH. Then go into settings and unmount your SD card fully and the remount it (this will initiate the Media Scanner). Give it about 3-5mins to fully finish scanning. Open your media gallery and viola they are back and good to go.

Not sure what causes this but what I am finding is that something interupts the write portion of it or a download. This is actually a common problem, so I might actually start a guide/thread of its own.

If it still doesn't work, then last resort and this way works everytime but you'll lose that picture, is open media gallery and long press the grey icon with ! in it and delete, then do the above. I've had to do this one a few times and lost some really great pix, but usually the top part works for me 99% of the time.
[Milestone XT720 General] OriginalLucy:
I wish I knew this about a month ago. I had pics of getting a hole in one and then I pulled the card to copy to my computer and they were gone, gone, gone. Won't do that again. thanks
[HD7 General] jojosplace:
Currently I have a Samsung GSII but I want to get back to WP7, I was going to wait for the WP7 version of the GSII but I did like my HD7.

I was thinking about trying to pick up an HD7S on ebay and use it in the UK (Vodafone UK) however I was wondering if you guys could run me through a few pit falls.

Will it actually work on the Vodafone network?

Can I unlock the phone if needs be?

Is it possible for me just to put a total generic ROM on the phone so there is no AT&T branding, will I run into problems?

I know these may sounds like daft questions but I have never purchased a phone from the states and I'm not sure about the network bands, etc.

Many thanks for the help guys, hope to be back in the fold soon
[HD7 General] JamesDax:
Since you are coming from the Samsung GSII you might want to wait and pick up the Samsung Focus S that coming soon. The Focus S is a follow-up to the original Samsung Focus, featuring a large 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus panel , 1.4GHz processor and is just one-third of an inch thick. You get a 1.3MP front-facing camera and 8MP rear-facing.

Basicly a SGSII with WP7.5.

I myself was hoping to get this or the HTC Titan (It has a 4.7 inch S-LCD screen making it the largest available on any Windows Phone. The HTC Titan also has a 1.5GHz processor with 512MB RAM, 16GB internal memory, and 8MP rear and 1.3MP FFC.) but they are both going to AT&T and I'm on T-Mobile. :(
[HD7 General] jojosplace:
I was thinking about waiting for that but I'm not sure if it will be released in the UK (I'm sure it will) plus I'm not sure about pricing, I know I could sell my SGII now, get an HD7 (S or non S model) and have a bit of cash in my pocket).

I might just sell the SGII now and use an old... HTC Desire (or SE K850) for the next few months...
[HD7 General] streetster:
Dont get the S... you will be stuck on EDGE as AT&T use a different frequency (1900mhz?) to UK carriers for 3G/HSPA (2100mhz).

EDGE is painful.
[HD7 General] jojosplace:
Well I sold my SG2 and have been using an old htc desire and I'm liking the smaller screen so i have gone for an omnia 7 (16gb), I like the screen size being between the desire and hd7. With the cash left over I may put it towards a Sony tablet s :)
[HD7 General] tfn:
I would suggest you wait for the new phones coming out instead of going for the already released WP7 devices, reason being atleast they will be a bit future proof.

I had an HD7 and then went for a SGS2, but because HD7 has no front facing camera I will miss out on the kinet features on mango, so I am waiting for either Nokia WP7 ( as I still feel nokia has the best hardware) or get one of the New HTC devices with WP7.

I have already the RTM MANGO and boy it rocks, currently can't make up my mind between the HD7 and SGS2 :D

[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
Not familiar with the host foe solution. Was that an edited host file put on the ROM by the dev? If it was then possibly it needs updated. Have you tried using "Ad Free" from the market to see if it updates your host file to block those ads?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
ROFLCOPTERS! I was typing from my phone while @ work and didn't catch the foe typo.

I'm using AdAway which is essentially the equivalent and uses MVPS Hosts and HP Hosts but they're still showing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
LOL, that makes more sense. Some of the things I sent in text messages without proof reading was utterly embarrassing.

Shouldn't there be a way to add AdChoices to our host file manually?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
We have to figure out the name server for it first. I've tried adding AdChoices. Com adsense.com to no avail.

I've been using that prl for 3g roaming while at work for the past couple of weeks. Today though I lost my data connection. Still can make calls and text. Tried reflashing prl, rebooting, everything. I use roam control, and when I switch to home I have normal sprint service with 3g data. When I switch back to roam it gives only voice and text and says sprint can't login?

Anyone else having issues?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
My guess is the 3G is down on that roaming tower or Sprint didn't pay their bill.

Looks like samsung has 1800 mAh battery for the new Epic touch 4G. Looks very similar to Galaxy S series battery. It will be great if it fits vibrant!

If its like the international SGS2 battery then as posted, its too tall.
[Vibrant Accessories] }{Alienz}{:
Someone go to a sprint store when those hit and try one. Just ask for a device, debox and try the battery haha.
[Vibrant Accessories] rakeshchn:
Two things I noticed since I posted....the connectors on the battery are on right side for epic touch and left side for vibrant? And epic touch being 4.5 inch screen phone it is possible that battery is bigger albeit same shape :-(
[Vibrant Accessories] BenKranged:
Keep following the link I posted, now its looking like the guy may be right. Its not confirmed yet.
[Vibrant Accessories] rakeshchn:
Thanks for pointing me to that thread. One thing for sure the epic touch 4G battery is different from other galaxy s2 variants as it is seen in the video I posted. They guy may be even right it physically fits into old epic (that means vibrant too). But I have to see if the connectors on the right versus left is a deal braker.
[Vibrant Accessories] rakeshchn:
Okay, looking at the video the battery goes into the new phone with the side with mAh printed inwards. In vibrant that side is outwards! So this could mean position of the connectors is not an issue :-) I am still hopeful.
[Vibrant Accessories] }{Alienz}{:
Can someone check it in a store already?

I just checked at a sprint store and the battery will fit our vibrant! It is the same size and shape as our normal batteries. I didn't power the phone cause it was packaged but the size will fit and it is indeed an 1800mah.

EDIT: On second thought, I didn't ask the rep if I can buy one and the Sprint website doesn't appear to sell them as of yet. Anyone know of any good sources to get these batteries?
[Vibrant Accessories] rakeshchn:
http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=28506

From epic 4g forum. But someone is reporting that some filing is required to fit the battery. Can you confirm it fits vibrant without filing?
[Vibrant Accessories] }{Alienz}{:
Actually I read that forum and ppl seem to now agree they work perfect. I also saw that site but it ships the 26th of next month? That's stupid late lol.
[Vibrant Accessories] rakeshchn:
So in the sprint store where you tried, it was a spare battery for sale or they took it off a phone?

I would guess it will take some time for spares and accessories to be available after phone is launched. Oct end looks reasonable in my opinion. We never managed to find a spare 1650 mah from Vibrant 4G even today!!
[Vibrant Accessories] }{Alienz}{:
They took it off a new phone they unboxed. So yeah, who can find one online that is sold now should speak up. Preferably under $40.

The October 26th shipping is way in the future as of now.
[Vibrant Accessories] MadJoe:
Seems a little weird they're the only place to be offering this, and at a good discount with free shipping? I'm skeptical, but this sure would be nice if its real! Anyone ever ordered from mobilecityonline before?

Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.
[Vibrant Accessories] burntrat:
So is it confirmed that the 1800mAH battery will fit AND work properly in the vibrant?

Is mobilecityonline selling legit 1800mAH batteries for the Epic 4G Touch or is it going to be more like a knockoff 1500 mAH or less like buying from overseas?
[Vibrant Accessories] rakeshchn:
There are more than one person in the epic 4g forums saying the battery fits epic 4g and so most probably vibrant. vice versa is hard fit it seems.	I am sure if you give 1 month or so from now, these will appear in sprint stores. ATT version has different battery, looks similar to international galaxy s2.
[Vibrant Accessories] burntrat:
Ok, Fit...check, but what about the usability? This is kind of an old thread so I don't know if the problem has been fixed or not:

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baksunovic:
I used to have HD2 and of course, have tried WP7 on it, but because Android and WP7 exploit hardware buttons a lot, they started to malfunction, so I replaced it with real WP7 device - HTC Trophy. I have synced all photos and videos recorded with HD2 on different OS's and they all look good. But with the Trophy, and it seems to me it's been happening lately (from MAngo), all my photos (even preview before I take photo) is blurred. That doesn't mean unfocused, but it seems that camera is taking more light from outside sources that every light colored or white object gets "aura" around it and messes up the sharpnes of picture. Anybody had similar experience?

[General Questions and Answers] Narek SGS2:
I never upgrade my phone before. But today I decided to upgrade firmware through the Kies but its end awfully.

Kies succesfully downloaded update but when it starts to download the new firmware to the phone its stood on 1%.

On the screen of the device I saw Android logo and under it "Do not turn off target". But after waiting 2 hours it was still on 1%.

Then I canceled the download and disconected device from CPU.

And now I can't turn on my device, its keeps showing "Device and computer picture with attention icon in the middle of them". I removed battery and put it back, but when I am turning on device it shows the same picture of "Device-----Attention icon-----Computer".

The phone in 1 year warranty and I give it to the service centre already, but I am still worry. What do you think can the guys from the service centre repair the phone or not? :(
