[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabaker07:
Hi,

** update: all of my problems turned out to be non-problems and the community was very helpful. I didn't get one bit of flame! **

First-time root a few days ago. No idea why it took me so long, I've had the DInc since preorder. Still one of my favorite phones on the market (even though no longer on the market!!)

I've been through a few ROMs so far. Nil Business 3.0, CM7, a GB stock (mostly?), and now on my favorite - McTwist v1.1 (what can I say, I like Sense).

I have a few questions:

*1. I'm having issues with making outgoing callls. Can't make them until someone calls me, then I can call out. Seems to reset each day to not being able to make outgoing. Just flashed 7.07 radio and still having the same issue. Very strange...

2. Do ROMs care about (and are they designed for) AMOLED vs. WVGA/SLCD? When I check hardware "about phone" it says WVGA, and I noticed that fonts and what-not were a little blurry. I used FontChanger to alter the "density" and replaced to stock fonts which helped, but I feel like I need an AMOLED ROM based on my resolution. (This was more apparent with Nils which was very blurry).

3. I see in "about phone":

Android version 2.3.3 (don't I want 2.3.4+?)

Memory 512MB (shouldn't this be at least 768 for dinc?)

Display 3.7 inch WVGA resolution (ummm.. I'm AMOLED dummy. Related to 2 above)

I appreciate any help the community can offer to a nooblet like myself who is as excited as a schoolgirl to be discovering the ultimate iPhone killer...

ROOOOOOT!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveG12543:
1) I have no idea why that is... Never heard of that problem before.

2) SLCD vs AMOLED shouldn't matter in regards to ROMs, just RUUs/CWM/HBOOT(unsure about the last one... Can't flash the oldest HBOOT on SLCD, right?)

3) -The version of Android depends on the ROM you're running.

-Nope, the OG Incredible comes with 512MB of RAM.

-It is a 3.7" WVGA display, regardless if its AMOLED or SLCD.

Yeah, what he said!

---------- Post added at 10:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

I think if you're running one of Nils rom's amoled vs. slcd does matter, check out the OP of whichever rom you're having problems with. If it's business gingersense 3.0 I found this:

INSTRUCTIONS

Requirements:

▪ Clockworkmod Recovery 3.x (3.0.0.7 for Amoled and 3.0.0.8 for SLCD)

▪ Radio 2.x (Try different ones to see which works best for you. I am using the 05.02 radio)

▪ hboot 0.92 Required (See this post #635 for hboot 0.92 and instructions)

▪ A Full Wipe Highly Recommended! (Required if this is the first version you are installing)

Hope this helps...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabaker07:
Okay, understood. The AMOLED vs. SLCD vs. whatever screentype only matters for the recovery tool. I think the issues I'm facing are the fact that the ROMs I've installed are based on different devices (Inc2, Pyramid, DesireHD, etc.)

And the stats, I believe you on the RAM, but I see in many apps (Android System Info, Stock Settings, Titanium Backup, etc.) 748-68 reported. Whatever, as long as ROMs aren't limiting my hardware, I'm good.

Still having issues making outgoing calls. :/

McTwist v1.1
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5thAgent:
For the outgoing calls issue, I recommend doing a nandroid backup, full wipe, then flashing a stock ROM (or something based off the OTA), doing *228 option 2, then full wipe and restore your ROM of choice.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chocolate8175:
About the RAM, its 512. I believe the inc 2 is 768, maybe that's what you're seeing.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveG12543:
In Titanium, it shows the internal memory for storage, not RAM. That might be where the confusion is as well

Sent from my Droid Incredible running some random CM7 nightly.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabaker07:
So it turns out that the outgoing calls issue was because SYNC added a +1 to the beginning of my GFs phone number and it wouldn't allow me to dial that number. I removed and now all good. I feel a little stupid but just glad that I figured it out. Glad I didn't harp on the dev. This ROM ROCKS! McTwist v1.1 ftw!

And thanks for answering all my other questions gang. I appreciate it.

Now to figure out how to change the boot statics and animation! I can't find the files in the usual places. I should probably contact the dev?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabaker07:
Okay, contacted dev and he was very helpful.

McTwist v1.1 boot animation is VZW_bootanimation.zip in system/customize/resources.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpomike13:
radio?

I read your thread, and it seems you fixed your calling problem. I thought it may have been the radio. Some ROMs require a newer radio. I'm running 09.01
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabaker07:
I upgraded my radio to 7.07 and so far so good. Any advantages with 9.01?

Ive read that flashing radio is especially dangerous and is the one way to truly brick your device.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveG12543:
It's dangerous if you aren't careful. Gotta make sure you compare the MD5 sum of your radio with the one provided from the original poster. Also, you have to make sure your battery is sufficiently charged; don't want the phone turning off during the flash or during the first boot. I don't flash radios below 75% lol. Don't pull the battery during the first boot unless you are sure it's bootlooping. Give it plenty of time to boot, things will take a bit. If I remember correctly, that should be it. Be safe! :)

Just wanted to give you guys and gals a heads up about a new case. It's made by Seidio and looks and feels great on the phone. Adds a bit of bulk to the phone but comes with the holster. I'll try and get some pics up later tonight after the little one goes to bed. It goes for $34. 99 retail. My Best Buy got it in today so they should start being available soon.

Edit... Couple of pictures... Sorry the quality sucks.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jayrod88:
My location just received them also today. It does not interfere with the noise canceling mic. The platinum series cases are exactly the same as the surface series cases by seido (they make them for best buy). Retail is $34.99 for the case and clip.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] joewoo:
35 for both clip and case?!?!? Isn't that 50 on their own site
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jayrod88:
Yes it is. I'm not sure why they charge so much online. $34.99 in my Best Buy in Illinois.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mfpearson:

Anyone have a sku from their BestBuy receipt? Local store though high market/volume has no knowledge of such. Thx
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rob_Wing:
Sku is 3824261
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
The best buy platinum series cases are garbage in my opinion. They're the lowest quality case on the market. They're thick and look cheap. They remind me of the chinese cases they used to mass-produce for the clunkers in the 90s. This is one of Best Buy's most profitable skus in the store, so they hock the hell out of them.

Seriously though, this line is about the worst on the market. They beat the hell out of the back of your phone, and they're so incredibly thick, and have absolutely zero aesthetic charm. There are soooo many better cases and more worthey companies you can support, and get better protection from.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bluetoothless:
I tend to use BodyGlove Mirage case with seemingly sturdy Platinum holster. Haven't seen either yet for I-777?????
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tetralaw:
I bet you look like I did in best buy when I tried one on my phone and couldn't get it off. It took a long time and a few sales associates to figure it out.

Use something small and sharp to slide in the minuscule crack along the backside where it joins. Then push that tool down to un-notch it.

That was enough of a PITA for me not to buy the case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jayrod88:
I couldn't disagree any more. The cases are manufactured by Seido which has an excellent reputation online for quality cases. It is their "surface" case rebranded. I will say that the all black color is kind of plain and may not have the "charm" you desire, however I like the simple look. They have felt inside the case to protect the phone from scratching so I'm not sure why you stated it beats up the phone.

To each his own as they say...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bigpapi19:
thanks for posting those pics!!! much better details than i saw on best buy. after seeing those pics ima go get one.

---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 PM ----------

this isnt the only case hard to remove. the otterbox cases are just as hard ive had it on 3 different phones the iphone, captivate, and the atrix 4g. u will have just as much trouble and the outside skin covering the hard case on the otterbox will stretch to where it wont stay on. the platinum seidio case i had on my nexus was 10x better than otterbox and the same price and had 3 layers of protection versus 2 for otterbox.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] termleech:
I have had this case for about a month now and love it. I've tried a bunch of cases including the armor shield and I keep coming back to this case. I think its incredibly light and adds almost no bulk. Plus the holster is awesome. The back is a little tricky to get off but after you find the right place to apply pressure to its easy. Took me a few tries but I can unsnap it no problem now. I do like the snap it makes it feel secure.

One note, don't try and put and armor suit on your phone then put it in this case. It will not come back out without some serious prying. I actually am impresses the case is still fully functional with no scratches or anything after I practically had to pry it from the sides of the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yatrg:
I have used Seidio cases/holsters on my smart phones for the last 5 years. On Black Friday, I went to BestBuy and bought 2 case/holster combos for $45. One of these is $49 on the Seidio site. So now, when the holster spring cracks in 6 months, I still have a spare. Quick review.... The case is snug, fits perfectly, has all the correct cutouts, and is secure. And it is easy to get on or off once you get the "feel" for the clip on the back. The holster build quality is the best I have ever had from Seidio. They clearly are improving their product. I have no concerns of it falling off my belt, or popping out of the holster. And it is still easy enough to get the phone out with one hand.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] UnusualSuspect:
I just got this case/holster at Best Buy today.

I've been a Seidio fan for several years now, this is my 3rd Seidio holster. The previous ones (for HTC Kaiser and HTC Rhodium) didn't require a separate case - they just held the phone "naked". I do like that this case has holes for both the I777 and the international version's placement of the noise-canceling mic.

But ... yeah, it's a bugger to remove the case from the phone until you get the hang of it.

For giggles, I tried out my SGP Neo Hybrid EX bumper case with the Seidio holster - it fits like a glove, so that's another option.

Ahh unfortunately they won't. Most major devs and developer projects don't go after SDK ports not just ours in specific, they're too broken to fully benefit anything as of now but in the future with source it could prove beneficial. But I'm with you on that though.

@Xboxfanj and Allmasteraa: You guys have 14 key different keylayout files within \system\usr\keylayout and none of them wholely match the Epic save for two perhaps. So your key placing issues can lie within that. Also, in most cases the files within \system\usr\keychars are .kcm.bin in most of the instances I've seen them and edited them, the ones lying within this build are just .kcm so that can be an issue also but a fix too. I just thought I could let you know so it could be of some help to you. Not going to flash this just yet, or anything for that matter since I've a need for some stability, but just wanted to help where I thought I may be able to.

Yes, it's what we have been doing for a little while. You'll not have any touchscreen, your hw keys will be off. This is mainly due to the nature of an SDK port(dirty), but yes. I wish you luck nonetheless. :)

One thing to know, in the EpicCM branch you'll need to go far back in commits after you clone it and revert CM compliance and another which aims the initramfs at another CM repo you may not have. Just so you can re aim your paths to toolchain and elsewhere properly. Just as a heads up. :D

Edit:

In an ideal world we'd ditch this crap for a source port because this isn't going to be nice at all. But all other GS ports are mapping their partitions with MTD and not BML iirc. So it's more of a waiting game, not saying it's impossible just hard as hell.
