[General Questions and Answers] mykos5:
Hi,

This is my second android purchase and i'm doubtful between galaxy ACE and Desire, in your opinion which would be the best device?

Are either model difficult to debrand/sim unlock?

Thanks in advance...
[General Questions and Answers] BJ-Keller:
HTC Desire

I'd take the Desire because it's bigger, it has HTC Sense and there are many custom ROMs(even 2.3.5 or Sense 3.5)
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Take the desire.

The ace is too slow...
[General Questions and Answers] mykos5:
Thnks ppl!!
[General Questions and Answers] CallMeVentus:
My friend has a Desire and I have an Ace .

If only the Desire was available in my phone shop back then......sigh .
[General Questions and Answers] k_flynn:
Desire, Desire, Desire :D take the Desire :D
[General Questions and Answers] porcupineli:
Desire! :) HTC send test samples to bloggers while Samsung is hesitant always
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Thats no argument for a normal user to choose one or the other device.

Also samsung gave away free devices to developers, which is actually more important than giving some to bloggers, who will mostlikely just do reviews.

Do you want 1000 reviews of the same device or a device with 1000 roms/kernels/apps/mods?

Anyways the ace is really underpowered and ace users complain alot about app performance on their device.

Get the desire which also has the bigger/better community.
[General Questions and Answers] CallMeVentus:
The OC Kernel just got released today ;)
[General Questions and Answers] Iwo66:
My choice is Desire!

Desire ftw! ace shape juz like iphone..

why spawn the thread?...

there is a cm7 thread already...

everyone knows about the new RC.

the link is broken.

what you posted should go in general, its just like a "BTW, there is a official stable version"

NO, JUST NO.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BottleB:
You are probably right, please delete mod
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kevin2516:

I took no part in this theme, just simply sharing my findings.

If you are on a deodexed rom, it seems that Droid Bionic ICS theme for UNLEASHED will work just fine. I personally have flashed the theme over MonsterRom 1.1h and everything is working, no force closes. It should work whether or not you use 1% battery increments, as it does not flash a services.jar. It does already contain the 1% .pngs for the battery though. So, it should work on both 10% and 1% increment roms. Do NOT flash the batteries in this thread as they will cause you to bootloop. If you want 1% and are on a rom that only shows 10%, I recommend you flash a rom that has 1% battery, then flash the theme.

Be sure to thank the Themer!
[Motorola Droid 3] Benjamin150:
Alright.. so, I have the Galaxy Nexus bootanimation, linear 1%increments, and using whitebread metamorph. I'm also on Stock Deodex. Would/should this still work? I don't get what you mean by, "don't flash the batteries" in this thread.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Yes it should. It doesn't flash a services.jar which is the file that controls 1% battery increments.

So when you flash, you should still have boot animation (I have the same one, didn't change) 1% battery (ICS themed) and new framework, which will remove your metamorph.

Just play it safe and nandroid, unless you have a recent enough one.
[Motorola Droid 3] Benjamin150:
Yep, I made a nandroid yesterday, and on the 4th, cause I was messing around with metamorph.

Well sweet, I'll try this out and edit(or reply again if other people replied) my post and tell you how it went.

Edit again - Hehe, never mind. Seemed as though I just needed to read your first post again. Figured it out. :) Still wondering if I need to put this in a certain spot though or if anywhere will work fine like it did for flashing the bootanimation and 1% increments.

Edit - Works perfectly! Thanks for sharing. Looks like I'll need to make an account on Rootzwiki to thank the creator(s).

Edit - Never mind.. I lost my status bar? Going to try flashing the accurate status bar zip on top of it. Maybe you're supposed to do that and I didn't know.

Edit - Nope, didn't work. Still no status bar.
[Motorola Droid 3] wootizzle:
Will our d3s get ics? Or are we just going to be on a million versions of gb?
[Motorola Droid 3] Benjamin150:
My guess is yes, we'll get it.. but knowing motorola, not for quite some time. So I'm guessing we'll have to get it in a ROM.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Will we get official ICS? Yes, probably in about 7 months. We will have CM8 AOSP before the blurred up, crappy motorola version though so it doesn't matter.
[Motorola Droid 3] Benjamin150:
Got it to work!

I restored my phone with nandroid before I had metamorph, cleared cache, then installed/flashed the unleashed version, and then before rebooting I went ahead and flashed the battery part too. Now I have my status bar back and a sexy theme. :)

Thanks again!
[Motorola Droid 3] wootizzle:
Lol nicely put.. I keep forgetting about CM.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
I lied, it has 5% battery. We can put together a .zip for our phones though.
[Motorola Droid 3] Benjamin150:
Finally got onto a themed rom. Confirming that this works over Monster Rom v1.1i(also confirming you can flash the Rom with this theme on, but you'll have to reflash it afterwards).
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
0.1.2 or 0.1.1?
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
The cyan (stock) one for UNLEASHED. 0.1.2
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
ok so i flashed the theme, dumped the audio folder.. somehow my stock launcher was gone. so i grabbed MR1.1i and flashed, booted, opened the stock launcher, flashed ICS theme 0.1.2, booted, stock launcher will FC. any ideas?
[Motorola Droid 3] jojo4747:
Does this mean that other themes will work from the droid bionic?
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
As long as there are no bionic specific files in it. The framework and systemui in d3 and bionic are pretty much identical, if not 100% the same.

If you try to flash something else remember to nandroid.
[Motorola Droid 3] porky101:
I have rooted my d3, but not running any custom ROM, can i just download the ICS theme for Bionic stock?
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Haven't tested it, but I believe even the stock version is based off of deodexed. Do a nandroid and try it if you want.
[Motorola Droid 3] jojo4747:
I don't think so
[Motorola Droid 3] porky101:
well, that did not work, it booted and got a spam of force closes, so i cannot get into recovery since the force closes wont allow me to open app drawer so i have to flash sbf....
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
You should be using Hashcodes bootstrap so that you can just get into recovery from booting into BP Tools.
[Motorola Droid 3] porky101:
yea, lol, well i just did SBF flash and it worked, except now my data does not work? where the 3G icon should be is a triangle for roaming...how can i get rid of that? i tried rebooting
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Dial *228 and let it program your phone
[Motorola Droid 3] porky101:
nvm, guess i had to reactivate my phone...:D
[Motorola Droid 3] Camspanners:
Same, had to restore nandroid. This happened on steel droid v2, which is deodexed. I did try to use dpwhitty's metamorph over top of sdv2
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Did you flash the correct version?
[Motorola Droid 3] Camspanners:
Cyan, 1.2, for UNLEASHED

I'll redownload and try later, though
[Motorola Droid 3] Benjamin150:
Can I apply hashcode's bootstrap over the one I have now? Power button + m would be a great thing to have..

Edit - Never mind, Koush's was updated. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] porky101:
well after i did the SBF i rooted phone again using Pete's Motorola Tools and now all of a sudden whenever I try to download/install or uninstall something from the Market, the Market just crashes...any fixes?
[Motorola Droid 3] wootizzle:
Try clearing market data and cache.
[Motorola Droid 3] porky101:
Still force closing
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
can you navigate to data/app? sounds like permission issue although having just sbf'd that doesnt make sense
[Motorola Droid 3] porky101:
Where do i navigate to that in File Manager? Cause if I go there and click on Internal Phone Storage, then data i just see the folder colornote...would resetting phone to factory settings work?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
im using root explorer. its at \data\app
[Motorola Droid 3] porky101:
I dont have root explorer installed, and I cannot install it because everytime i try to download an app off of the Market it force closes and i cannot finish the install....should I try resetting to factory settings? If that does not work guess I should reflash the SBF?
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
What rom did you flash this over? I don't know why you're having issues as it's worked fine for everyone else.
[Motorola Droid 3] porky101:
I did not flash any ROM after it, just left it at stock. Think what happened was after I flashed SBF, all my settings and apps and everything was still on the phone...just now I went into recovery deleted cache and did a Factory reset and everything is working like it should! thanks for the help! :D
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
When I try flashing this, I get a bootloop at the boot animation. I have to pull the battery and then CWM back to MonsteRom1.1i.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
I don't know what you guys are doing to boot loop. It will take a while to boot the first time, about 3-4 minutes. Are you guys just assuming it's bricked and doing a battery pull?

Either way, this trick is about to be obsolete. I'd advise all you having issues with this to wait for kshen1's narcotICS rom, which comes with a full ICS theme AND notification power widget.
[Motorola Droid 3] spacecasespiff:
A reminder that you will need a launcher if you flash this over monster rom. Its made to use with the stock launcher and monster rom does not use a stock launcher so if you don't have one you will not have a launcher. So get a launcher from the market before doing this
[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
same thing happened to me. Stuck in bootloop. tried to reflash and it was no go. flashed back to steel. Not a big fan of this tho i would like it if it worked for me :/ Love the black notification bar. But yeah narcotICS is out so just flash that.
[Motorola Droid 3] Jerminator617:
Couldn't get it to work for me either
[Motorola Droid 3] :
cant flash it over steeldroid anymore, it worked over stock deodexed, but then i wiped data and it went all screwy
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Now that we have cm7 there will probably be a Theme Chooser theme for it in a week or two.
[Motorola Droid 3] dco717:
Any updates??
[Motorola Droid 3] prstorero:
Doesn't look like the ics theme does much. Only things I see changed r a couple things in the status bar and that's it
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
It replaces various app icons, changes some colors, themes the status bar.

ICS really isn't that much different looking then GB, its more of a functioning difference then appearance.
[Motorola Droid 3] prstorero:
I tried flashing the ics one off here over monster but when i booted up i got force closes. My steps were

1. Wipe system data and cache, wipe mount system

2. Apply monster zip

3. Boot to check if all is good

4. Shut down and apply the ics theme

5. Boot up and it brought me to the accounts page with force closes. Am i missing an important step somewhere?
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Keep in mind this is a pretty old thread guys lol. There is an awesome Theme Chooser ICS theme available in the market that looks great. Need CM7 to run it though.
[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
Flashed this over liberty 2.0 today and it worked like a charm :D
[Motorola Droid 3] slayer621:
For anyone on CM7 trying to get this, just install this from the market. Open up Theme Chooser, select it, and reboot.
[Motorola Droid 3] Eggathis:
thanks for sharing
[Motorola Droid 3] billyhoyle13:
Worked for me on CM7 and looked great! CM9 looks better thought ;)
[HD2 General] Martijn085:
Ok, i have installed a couple of roms. I removed the rom to installed another one but i can`t remove the partitions on my SD card.

I have this partions:

FAT 32

EXT4

SWAP

If i remove these partitions with MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition or format the partitions the partitions are comming back!

I can`t remove them, and not format them. If i format the partition the data is still on it.

Anyone can help me out here? Looks they are read only or somthing like that.
[HD2 General] blakphoenix:
download sd formatter and try that. do a full erase and it will wipe the partitions
[HD2 General] Martijn085:
Thanks for your reply, the program comes with the error:

SD-Card is write-protected, please release the write protected switch.

But....there is no switch on it :p
[HD2 General] Martijn085:
Nothing seems to work! I think the card is at his end :p have a new one right now.

You’ll find many new features (read the CHANGELOG) and support for building on 68 devices! Upgrading from any previous CM-7 release or nightly build should be smooth and no wipe should be required.

[LG Optimus 2x] gregor40:
Well, I'd really love to go for it, but at LG Poland rooting means no more warranty :(

Hello all,

Gregor, you can still unroot back to factory device

Ciao
[LG Optimus 2x] williemeiser:
Seriously u dnt need to worry. Anything goes wrong,u still can go back to stock using nvflash or smartflash. =)
[LG Optimus 2x] m.klinge:
This might be a dumb question but does the a2dp finally work (and is included in the stable release)? I'm asking cause in the nightly thread it says no, but many other places it stated that they finally cracked it ;)

//M
[LG Optimus 2x] williemeiser:
Its already working. Confirmed. I played music through my BT speaker when im using latest nightlies. Now trying topogigi's rom for a change. =)
[LG Optimus 2x] arkara:
does the fm radio work?
[LG Optimus 2x] williemeiser:
Nope. Not yet.
[LG Optimus 2x] apathyap:
does it have Google Voice Search?
[LG Optimus 2x] gregor40:
Imagine my phone gets bricked. E.g. the mainboard fries. Or the display dies. Or... In that case I wont be able to re-flash to stock, would I?
[LG Optimus 2x] arkara:
why call it stable then?
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
Hi apathyap, I've been using Cyanogenmod for some time now, currently on Nightly 167 and Google voice search works, so I assume it works on the latest 7.1 release.

Have fun. Anil
[LG Optimus 2x] williemeiser:
Sorry but im no developer,just regular user. But maybe bcoz most of basic function of the fone is now functioning as it should with very minimum issues thats dont really affect the functionality of this fone for most user. Just my opinion though. But honestly, for regular cm7 users,this is only another nightlies. CM will still continue improving. =)
[LG Optimus 2x] palmic:
Dont try this!!!

Or youll not go to bed for all the night, its just GREAT!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] goatee:
Sorry to hear that - try wiping and reflashing. I've just come from Topogig 1.4 20e ROM, and this is a big improvement on an already good ROM.
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
Hi it's called stable because it's considered stable, & suitable for consumption by regular users. The FM radio is a feature, not part of the core functionality of the phone. But more importantly the lack of FM radio is down to the fact that, to use the FM radio you need the source code from NVIDIA for the Tegra chip. So far NVIDIA haven't released the code.

I'm sorry, but NVIDIA are a bunch of slack b*****s. Which means no FM radio, sorry but there is nothing the Cyanogenmod dev team can do.

Anil
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Let me guess, you didn't wipe?
[LG Optimus 2x] sanriver12:
or he could just grow some balls...
[LG Optimus 2x] gregor40:
Its really nice how some people prove their manhood :D Still, it would be nice if LG had the same policy all over the world...
[LG Optimus 2x] vtracer20:
so what? im in poland too, LG poland wont do anything to fix this phone. I sent mine to LG service and all they did was replace battery. Software is same and **** as always. Root it install latest nightly and be happy. Stock software is junk.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mjuksel:
If the mainboard fries, they cant check the software ;)

If your screen dies, just plugin the device withouth battery + volume down and flash the stock firmware :)
[LG Optimus 2x] ClausG76:
Does all apps show op in market?
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
Hi, I can see the apps I expect to see. I haven't searched for an app and not found it. How can one tell if apps are not showing up? Is it obvious? I have always found the search in the Marketplace to be pretty poor. Even when I put the exact title of an app in the search field, it doesn't show up in the top 3, often it's on the next page. Strange considering Google is a search company?

Problem with CM 7.1

I have a problem with my LG Optimus 2x. I was running one of the nightly builds on my phone, and today I have installed CM 7.1.

The problem occurs when I reboot it after installation (I have cleared all caches before installing it, so this is not the problem).

The boot stops on the second LG logo and stays like that forever.

I can access ClockworkMod so I have tried reinstalling 2-3 times, but always the same.

Any ideas? :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] Zonification:
Anyone else have a problem with Google maps suddenly draining battery after updating to stable?

Today maps has drained 33% of battery and it says it's been active just 4 minutes.

Suddenly have to charge twice a day.
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
Do the developers work on it? Will it ever work?
[LG Optimus 2x] extract:
have you tried the CM7.1 Final ?

Guys, any of you who tried CM7.1 on the 2X, can you tell me which of the following was fixed and which not (those are issues I had with CM7.1 nightly) :

- On dialer; dialpad freezes after call connects if bluetooth headset is already connected

- no A2DP on bluetooth

-dialer screen rotates but dialpad will then be hidden behind other options

-dialer screen rotates but call reject button won't be there

- Battery EATER… BATTERY EATER …. BATTERY EATER

- VERY SLOW GPS FIX in GOOGLE NAVIGATION, even though maps get the fix normal

- GOOGLE Calendar is default, you can't install another calendar that would show up under Calendars in the Calendar app, which essentially means CLOUD Calendar.. I don't want that
[LG Optimus 2x] pacobear:
You forget to mention the "Freeze in charging" problem
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
1. I guess this would be no different to using a BT car kit? In which case it didn't freeze when I used one at the weekend.

2. A2DP present and correct.

3. Disable rotate on the dialler, hell I didn't know the dialler could rotate 'til I read that.

4. As above.

5. Seems fine to me, but everyone's use patterns are different. Current time on battery: 23h 56m 28s, with 23% remaining.

4. GPS fix very quick in all apps, Google Nav included.

5. Dunno, I use Google Calendar.
[LG Optimus 2x] rlees85:
Are many people having any of these problems??

- Browser hangs, error about some activity.browser is not responding. Wait or force close.

(I have tried force closing browser and clearing all app data using the app manager in settings. Not happened again since....!)

- Alarm set overnight, does not sound when on charge. Only sounds when I manually press the power button on the phone to activate the screen. Too bad I am already late for work at this point.

- SOD after long call. Can wake it again by attaching USB cable but no use if Im not near a computer!

anyone else getting these on CM stable or just me?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Yeah the browser FC seems to happen to a few people, me included.
[LG Optimus 2x] :
I have had no browser FC's with 7.1 stable, although my phone calls are SODding my phone all the time (both of em). Also they can't cancel any phone calls(UI responses to touch, but nothing happens).
[LG Optimus 2x] rlees85:
bit disappointed if im honest. nightly 155 seemed a lot more stable than the final release...

dont take it in the wrong way though. CM is still great and I have loads of respect to the devs... I will just flash a newer nightly in a week or two and hope things have worked out...

I also suspected me playing mess-abouts with partitions caused the browser issue as I never had it before, but at least I can confirm that is not the reason as other people are having trouble too...

The SODs the the annoying ones though. I don't make much phone calls so trying out different settings and ways around it will take me some time :(

The alarm one has happened in pretty much every ROM i have flashed to far so possibly a hardware/low-level driver problem with waking the phone... if so I guess that'll be a long time before it gets fixed.
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
For what it's worth, I've only been using my O2X for around 7 weeks now. I've always used CyanogenMod nightlies, and never had browser FC's, BSOD's or the alarm not working. The final issue would cause me great problems as I don't have an alarm clock, I use my phone to wake on time.

I'm currently on the latest nightly 170 and everything seems to work as expected. Granted I don't use the stock browser (I use Miren) nor do I use every feature of the phone, Bluetooth for example. So maybe something is broken but I just don't know it.

Overall I have a very pleasant experience with the O2X running CyanogenMod. Perhaps this is because my handset is a newer revision? One without the hardware based issues other early O2X users are experiencing?

I'm sorry I have no solutions for those with issues, I just thought it might be useful to know some of us are not having issues, and perhaps the source of the issues such as BSOD are hardware related?

Anil
[LG Optimus 2x] rlees85:
to be honest your probably right and my screen bleeds an awful lot too i might try and get my handset swapped (again)
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
Hi er_tomas,

That's weird. I had it installed on my previous handset a ZTE Blade. I have it installed on my current handset. Have you tried looking for it via a desktop machine?

Your Galaxy S will have no problems running it. Try via a desktop browser, you may have better luck.

Have fun. Anil
[LG Optimus 2x] rlees85:
People with alarm SOD, phone call SOD or Browser FC:

Try flashing newest kernel from CM nightlies and update gapps to latest version (theres an October release floating around somewhere).

Fixed all my issues so far!
[LG Optimus 2x] ClausG76:
Can you direct me to the October release. I can only find the one from August. Thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
It's an 'unofficial' one, Temasek probably has it in his Mediafire though.
[LG Optimus 2x] ClausG76:
Found one for gb 2.3.7 its called gb 2011.10.11
[LG Optimus 2x] mags014:
Do you guys have a detailed guide on how to flash from stock to CM7.1 (plus all the kernel update and gapps update done)? I'm running on stock and its starting to show its bad side so gonna lean on CM

I installed yesterday and i have no 3g!
