This is true, probably overkill, but doesn't take long at all to do, and haven't had any issues yet installing any ROM. Battery Stats is an optional wipe.

i usually agree with most of what you say loonatik. but this is plain wrong. i was on cm7 nightly 181 since august 31st to october 9th , and have been on 7.1 since the 9th, and have had NONE of the problems you talk about. flash the latest stable cm (7.1) to your incredible with incredikernel. you are the only person that has those problems, and i think you hate it so much just becayuse you think its god awful looking.

I love rooted awesomeness :D Of course, if you don't know why you would want to root, you probably shouldn't. It does, however, allow you to completely replace the user interface, tether for free, and remove bloatware, among other things.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
Yeah, I definitely think it's one ugly son of a *****. I rarely use it myself, honestly. It's not using it that sours me on it. It's the fact every time I put it on a device for someone else I get complaints about issues and end up having to fix it. Sometimes it's just fine for a month or so and then goes wonky, sometimes it's whacked from first boot. I've tried different kernels, including Incredikernel, but those usually seem to exasperate the problems. Sometimes they will remedy the problems in the short term, but it ALWAYS comes back to even more severe problems later. Since I'm handing these devices to people who basically use them as they would a stock, unrooted device (no flashing custom ROMs, kernels, mods, occasional nandroids and TiBU use), I'm not inclined to believe it's the user who's the problem. I know a couple people who claim CM works great and has worked well for a long time. I've yet to actually experience that on any device I've ever used it on.

I can say that I have never had any issues with CM7. Of course, I have only flashed two versions of it: the first stable CM7 release, then CM7.1. Never had issues. Now I'm on MIUI, which is an awesome ROM.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spence341:
The most stable Roms I have ever used were by Heyitslou and Ihtfp. Redemption and Skyraider were always spot on. This is not to say that some current are not, I have been on MIUI since June and have not flashed anything else.

If I was going to flash a sense based rom, I would check out Jermaine's GB rom. Lou may release an update for redemption if he gets his hands on another incredible.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cnavi:
Jermaine has moved 2.1 back to Stock+ Version 2 and made the Ext 4 and 150 MB /data/data cap fix a separate flash file.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 98greenranger:
I was real hesitant on rooting my phone I loaded cyanogen and didn't like it. I found miui and love it. The best thing about rooting is no matter what rom I use, I can totally customize the phone without the limits the cell companies have on the phones, and use the phone itself to its full potential.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] literaldave:
I've been on MIUI about 2 months and its definitely the best rom I've tried. I also can't remember what it's like not to be rooted.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juan Handed:
I have just received a used Incredible,my first touchscreen phone.I have just successfully rooted it.It is still running the 2.2 Froyo.I am trying to get it all set up before I activate it.

One important function for this phone is to be able to tether it to a HP Touchpad.The Touchpad doesn't support adhoc networks.It would be nice if my service provider didn't know about the tether,too.

Can someone suggest a few ROMs for me to check our that fit in the reliable category? Do you think I should stay with Froyo,or upgrade?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fudplayers:
I've found that Inc Deck is a stable ROM.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bellic:
MIUI and CyanogenMod are fantastic ROMs that both run great on the Droid Incredible. I can confirm, as I have used both, and am currently using MIUI. Also, both these ROMs include WiFi tethering capabilities that bypass your network's tethering options.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turb0wned:
I'm not going to lie. I got to the point where is no longer want to flash roms. There are always some kind of bugs unless its mainly stock. Yes I know what I'm doing and yes I'm doing it right, been for a while. While their are many benefits with custom roms their are also negatives. This is why I can't wait for the galaxy Nexus. No more custom roms for me.

Now as far as root goes..... Well worth it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stratman14:
Rooting was definitely worth it for me especially now that the Incredible is becoming an older phone and Htc and Verizon won't be coming out with any new updates for it. Flashing Roms is the only way to stay up to date with the new android software coming out.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WookieFan:
SkyRaider 4.3 Super-stable and super-awesome. Just wish there was a true GB base. But it has always been even more stable than stock.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
if you're having problems rooting then you're doing something wrong. Either you're using unfinished ROM's or you didn't wipe your data correctly before flashing new ROM's (which make apps force close).

Rooting ultimately gives you total control over your phone (you get to uninstall bloatware, slow UI) and you get a faster phone that lasts longer and can do more things, not to mention you have unlimited ways to customize it with various apps.

It's all up to you if you want to spend a little time making your phone sexy or if you're okay with it being mediocre and sometimes sluggish with apps you don't want on there.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andytseng:
I rooted my phone, so I could check out the gingerbread updates. I had gotten tired of waiting, and there was a point when it seemed shaky whether or not the Inc would get the update. Now I'm excitedly waiting for cm to put something together so I can play with ics.

Also, I don't plan on upgrading phones anytime soon, as the Inc does everything I need it to. Rooting lets me play with the new functions and pocketing the cash instead of getting a new phone with a monstrous screen that won't fit in my jeans pockets.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HoochieCoo:
Early on, I found SkyRaider to be very good. But its been so long since I've used a Sense rom I barely remember it... Don't miss it a bit though. CM7 has been rock solid for me, and I am picky about everything working correctly.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mzckkeepcool:
Hi there,

I discovered recently that my gmail app is using imap (tcp port 993) to sync, send and receive my email on my phone.

The thing is it is not included in my plan, and I have been charged over fees, 1c€ for each 10kB, may looks low price, but it's adding up quite fast (already 20€ extra!)

So I disabled cellular data and even wifi at first, and did some tests using tcpdump to analyse what was going on.

And I came to the conclusion that gmail is using imap protocol instead of the usual https connections.

I did the test with another HTC Desire using another ROM, but the same version of gmail app and this time the tcpdump file was showing no imap, only https.

This pb seems to be recent as I've been with this cell plan for over a year and never had this kind of extra fees using gmail app.

Could someone tells me if it is normal to have gmail using imap or it is a recent change in the apps or ROM?

I'm using the lastest cyanogen version 7.1.0, with gmail v2.3.5.2, with French Orange Origami Star cell plan.

I even disabled imap and pop3 access in my gmail account just in case, but no change.

thank you for your help, it might save me (lots of) money :)

I'm having an issue flashing a ROM via the sdcard zip file option.

I have (afaik) successfully installed CWM. Had an issue at first with it rebooting every 30 secs but reflashed the kernel and now it seems to work ok. However, when I try to flash a rom and go to the sdcard zip file option, it'll list several folders but not the ROM I want to flash. I have put the ROM on the sdcard in no folders (root folder) and am really at a loss.

I apologize in advance for any n00bish ways. I went through 2 cycles on iOS devices and decide to forgo the jailbreak cat and mouse chase and go android. I haven't regretted it yet. But I could really you some advice on this problem. Really looking forward to getting my phone rooted.

Much Love in Advance :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
All I know to say is if you put a .zip file on the sdcard you should be able to see it from cwm recovery. When you boot the phone normally can you see the file in file manager?

Which ROM are you trying?

And are you putting the file on the phones internal sdcard or an external sdcard?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fludiddy:
I was trying the unnamed ROM -- I just have it on the sdcard in the phone. I see it fine when I plug it in and look at it through windows. What file manager are you referring to?

I have to go to work but later on tonight I'll probably try reflashing CWM and see if that helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
Any file manager will do, there its one app named "My Files" that came with the phone. If you can see the file from that file manager you should be able to see it in cwm recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fludiddy:
I found it. Apparently, what appears to be the main folder in windows is actually the /externalsd folder. Found it in the stock file manager and was able to copy over the file and get it rooted. Thanks for your help!

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ratatox:
Not sure where shall I post my question. Can't find an answer but decided not to create a new post when a wi-fi problem one already exists.

I am trying to connect to WI-Fi in my office but it's WEP encrypted with password.

I got the password to connect to it and everything is working fine apart from internet use. I am connected to wi-fi but with local access only. Can't update email, browse the web or anything like it.

Is it because the Xperia Arc S does not support WEP encryption? Or because I'm doing something wrong?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinyXperia:
I do know that Android in general doesn't like WEP.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ratatox:
So in this case the only way to resolve the issue is to ask my company IT guy to change encryption, isnt it? :)

Are there any applications which could help with the problem or is it some kind of other issue and nothing can be done?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkstevo:
I am using WEP here at home, with no problems at all. I use my Xperia Arc and have an HTC HD Mini running Android from the SD card, both connect via WEP flawlessly.

If you can only view 'local' pages only, it could be that your company use a Proxy Server to filter the webpages you can access while at work. It could also be that the settings for the DNS server are incorrect.

Depending how easily your IT department can be bribed... It may be worth stocking up on beers?

I have the same issue with my Arc and Neo, and now Tablet S. Seems to be an intrinsic problem of Android. For Arc and Neo, they both worked fine with firmware 2.3.2, and refused to work after upgrade to 2.3.3. Now a further upgrade to 2.3.4 does not help.

Any inspiration? I searched the max possible I could for a solution with the Almighty Google God and tried days after nights to set/reset router/phone/Tablet, and play with settings. No hope. Strange thing to notice:

1/ Can connect for a while, and then drop for no reason. AND, will reconnect after an unknown time ticks;

2/ Cannot have all three SE/S things wifi connecting together to the same router (Mine: Buffalo). Only one at a time. Yet my other NBs/IPad/IPod are still working flawlessly.

3/ All three can connect to certain make of routers: e.g., free wifi in airport/cafe.

So what exactly is happening?

If anybody running 2.3.5 KJ3 leak (I'm running stock odexed) with drhonk's KJ1 kernel, can you try connecting to some PPtP server? It used to work just fine for me a week or two ago, but now it doesn't connect anymore to neither my Windows server nor my router running TomatoUSB. I'm not sure what did it though, the updating from KJ2, installing the kernel, or it's unrelated to the phone at all. Can somebody confirm that it does or does not work in KJ3?

In logcat I see that connection is actually established, correct IP is assigned (Android still shows Connecting...), and then there is a timeout exception from VpnService. No other errors.

Hi

Sorry not a high tech question but would appreciate some help

Re. my viewpad 7

Seems to be constantly short of inbuilt memory.

(should be 512mb)

was down to zero today though have not addded anything for a while.

Clearing cache and history via browser took it back up to 8 mb but already with an hours use down to 6mb again.

Have moved everything that Apps manager allows over to the (16GB) SD card, which still has lots of space.

Neither of the "File Explorer" or "Settings/SD card and phone storage" routes let me actually see what's in phone memory.

Pad is "as bought" re rom's etc

Would appreciate any help.

thx

Russ
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
It's got 512mb total, which is split over different partitions.

You are running out of space on the /data partition, try uninstalling some apps, or use an app like apps2sd to move some to your sd card.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] rusry1960:
Thanks for quick response but have tried deleting a few apps and have already moved everything that can be moved onto sd card

have downloaded a couple of versions of app2sd apps 2sd etc but they do not offer any more suggestions on apps that can be moved as I say I have aready moved all that seem moveable

It does seem that it's some sort of data thats the problem but I can't see into the inbuilt memory to see what data it is or from what app

rgds

russ
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] kocir:
It is stupid Android. When you move apps to SD, than still some (usualy bigger) parts is still in internal memory. When you move apps to SD, than info about occupied space is valid only for occupied space on SD by the apps. If you want to know how big is the application than you have to move back to internal memory, than info is correct.

Also some updating of system apss can consume very big space of internal memory. For example Aldiko can occupy 6MB !!!!
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] dusk2k3:
The problem is, when you install a new app either from Android Market, Amazon App Store or anywhere else, the system retains the .apk install file somewhere in memory. I'm yet to find where those files are stored.

You can use a file manager like Astro File manager to see all the files on your viewpad 7's internal memory however, manipulating those files is a bit trickier. I thought I found them in a \sys\data directory or something like that but the system refuses to let me delete them.

Does anyone know for certain where these .apk files are stored. I've deleted/moved everything I can and am down to the apps that I need on the unit. If I have to delete more, then there is no sense having a small form-factor tablet. The space that is being used is far above the applications that I have installed so there has to be garbage files somewhere that need cleaned up.

Hi,

I'm definetly a pro user, I've owned and moded:

- Motorola Milestone

- Motorola Atrix

- HTC Magic

My Roomate has a HTC legend and need me to root it and install a custom rom.

PROBLEM: The usb connection no longer works (since I cracked it open to change the broken digitizer). I have a micro SD card reader so I am able to copy files to the card.

I'm reading though the guides and many download links are dead.

I need someone to get me started. Can I just copy a zip file to the SD card and use CWM to flash a custom rom thats already rooted? If so, do I need the usb cable to get it into recovery?

Well that was my first effort. Although many links are dead and stop me from doing what I need to and the information is very spread out.

There is no guide telling me specifically if I can simply flash/run CWN from the SD card and then flash a ROM Without a usb cable. There was mention in some guides that the USB cable is needed for recovery mode.

So this is why I made this thread.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asovse1:
The Legend has been *****ed about as a really hard device to get root on, compared to the Desire, DInc, Hero, Eris, etc.

With that said, I don't remember how exactly I did it, but I remember there were a few steps before putting update.zip on the root of my SD. It's unfortunate that the links are dead, but I'm sure there are other sources fragmented around these forums that may be of help. I also think it's a bit more complicated if Froyo's already loaded onto it.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, it was so long ago, and I wanted it over with. It really is quite different from other devices.
