I have been getting incredibly irritating calls from overseas from telemarketing scams. I have tried basically everything aside from changing my phone number... I would like an app or some kind of program that would allow me at the press of a button to send the loudest irritating screeching noise pulses down the line. Not sure if it can be done, but im bout ready to go get a new number!

Use a call blocker... If it's a Private Number I don't see any other solution then to get a new number :(
[Motorola Droid X2] stevenjcampbell:
Hi all,

I have almost had it up to "here" with my x2, and i want a faster experience.

I have tweaked this thing as best as i can and finally figure it may be time to install a different ROM...

So far i am rooted with the soak test 2.3.4... i have the tenfar (? is that it?) recovery (the green one with an arrow down it, the same one that i used to install from froyo to GB.

I was looking at liberty, or eclipse...

Whatever is fastest, has a lot of AOSP in it and has a decent camera. Some of them have the bionic camera?

I hate the x2 camera.

So far i have rom toolbox to download liberty if i want it, i am nervous about installing it though since i came from iphone and understand its nearly impossible to brick an iphone, i have heard differently about android.

Additionally, i DO know how to SBF, i have done it twice once to go backwards and send a returned phone and the other to install the soak test on my current phone.

Thanks for any imput, i appreciate it!
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
I have Molten and its faster than any other ROM I've tried. Very impressed with it! I think. Eclipse would be next. And if you soft brick it, no biggy, its usually what happens versus hard brick.

I'd suggest flashing multiple ROMs though, try one out, go to the next, and if you land on one you really like, then great! That's the one for you. But be careful! Too many flashes could cause flash addiction!! :)
[Motorola Droid X2] densetsu86:
Have you tried v6supercharger? I have that with 2.3.5 blur and im a happy camper. V6supercharger will work with any rom. Its a script made by zepp.
[Motorola Droid X2] stevenjcampbell:
Yes, i have a widget to that actually lol.

No, that is what i HAD to do when i got the x2 in july and it was still froyo.

the 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 seem to fix most of it, but even running THAT i want a better UI and there are other little things i would like to NOT have to do that moto forgot:

1% battery

Better tray area

Better animations

Better battery life

Most of this was solved by me uninstalling most apps i have on the device that are not necessary, freezing pretty much ALL moto and vzw bloat, using Launcher Pro with NO transitions, juiceplotter and juicedefender to monitor usage and kill data connections and disabling the android battery management, installing battery circle...

I would like though to see a REAL dual core fast experience and i just do not think that anything coming from the motorolla rom builds will give me that to be honest.
[Motorola Droid X2] densetsu86:
The only time you are gonna het a real dual core experiance is if/when ics comes. Gb is not fully meant and not to many apps even make use of it.

And on 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 the 1% battery is useless since its not accurate reading and i think it cause more issues then working right. On eclipse 1.2rc i was getting really crappy battery life compared to blur 2.3.4 and i seem to have gotten my better batty life back on 2.3.5 so im staying away from 1% battery mod. And if your phone is running horribly get a new one. I barely have any problem with speed on my dx2 unless i use 3g cause 3g just sucks.
[Motorola Droid X2] stevenjcampbell:
Huh... how can the 1% battery mod make battery life worse?

Sorry about your 3g speeds. I have excellent 3g speeds where I am, i can steam music, load web pages and get 1mb attachments while streaming shoutcast.

i have had terrible 3g in las vegas on att... my 1x on vzw though is terrible compared to edge on att so i am glad it (3g) works.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I highly enjoy/recommend eclipse 1.3rc2. Its the one that comes with bionic camera.

I feel like people think they are getting bad battery life due to how you can see the battery dropping with 1%increments as opposed to 10% stock increments. I have experienced about the same battery life with the same usage no matter which rom I run.

I find eclipse to be very smooth running rom. Worth a try. Just make a nandroid backup before flashing and if u don't like u can easily just restore ur stock nandroid and get back to where u were.
[Motorola Droid X2] stevenjcampbell:
yeah.. about that.

I made a titanium backup of all system/apps

but nandroid uses system recovery bootstrap. so is that a COMPLETE backup as in a snapshot?

If so, that sort of makes titanium as a BACKUP tool obsolete, does it not?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I never use titanium.

A nandroid backup makes a backup of system, data, and caches. U cannot use titanium to get ur system back to where it was before a rom flash. Titanium is only uses for backing up apps and data.

Someone could explain it better than I do but a nandroid is basically a snapshot of your entire system. Framework, apps, data, settings, etc...

If I flash a rom without making a stock nandroid then the only way to get back to stock is via sbf, and rooting and setting up again. A nandroid backup eliminates the need to sbf to get back to stock.

---------- Post added at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

I have found titanium to be obsolete from the very beginning as I don't mind redownloading my apps. And im not crazy about keeping their data either

Aldo if u are backed up to google servers(via settings in privacy settings) and install eclipse then whatever apps u had installed before the flash will automatically start downloading after u sign in to google during initial set up. It will also save all your settings such as wifi passwords and browser bookmarks. Very useful.
[Motorola Droid X2] stevenjcampbell:
okay, so a nandroid backup will be quite large in size but is a failsafe in case you completely mess up and then do not have to spend time redoing it all.

Its like a system file that you can install if all else fails.

LIKE AN IPHONE BACKUP... where you ultimately get everything the way it was?

I would likely want to keep this on a seperate SD card even or my PC just in case the worst ever happens and i lose my physical phone...

Good to know because i HATE having to get all my stuff running again like i had it.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I am not familiar with iphone backups and how the work.

When u make a nandroid it will ask u before hand if u want it on internal or external sd card. I ALWAYS choose external sd card. It will create a folder on your sd card called clockworkmod. Inside that will be a folder named backup. In that will be the files for each backup you create. You can make one at any point as long as u have enough space on your sd card u can make as many as u desire. I usually make one every morning when I wake up and delete the one from the day before this was I ha e a very recent backup in case I screw up during the day and need to restore. I also keep backups of certain points in which I liked my setup.

Do not changed the names of clockworkmod folder or the folder in it named backup.

If u check out the sticky in general forum by moon shadow on creating a backup u will see the only safe way to rename your backups. Or u can just remember how ur phone was on the date u created it since it uses the date u madebit to name the nandroid file.

That sticky thread on nandroid backup will give u all the info u need to know about making/restoring nandroid backups. Very well written.
[Motorola Droid X2] stevenjcampbell:
Right, an iPhone backup is a data file that is installed after a restore or iOS update.

It essentially starts the phone fresh, but then reinstalls your apps, sms, missed calls, browsing history, notes etc.

So you look as you did right before you went to work on the device.

This sounds the same. I have been reading the sticky, thanks for your help. I also made sure to click thanks.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Me too. Now I know more about iphone backups ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] Mr_GreenJeans:
I have found TiBU very useful for backing up user apps/data. If you don't have the time/Patience to re-download everything between rom changes, it comes in handy. A simple batch restore and all my apps, launcher and their respective settings are there. (system settings are not restored, I think there might be an option but have heard nothing good comes from restoring system data across roms) I have also found TiBU very useful when swapping different camera/gallery apks. Simply go in and uninstall one and restore a backup of another for easy comparison of shot quality and speed. Just my 2¢ :)
[Motorola Droid X2] stevenjcampbell:
would you freeze the old ones? that is pretty good idea.

I was thinking was there any reason i cannot just find the bionic camera app, for example and use that?
[Motorola Droid X2] Mr_GreenJeans:
I uninstall them once i have a backup made, that way i don't have any chance of duplicate names or anything, freezing may work though.. I would imaging if you get the Bionic camera and hacked gallery from eclipse 1.3rc2 it will work. I think the have to be pushed to /system/apps manually. Just remember to correct permissions. see if they work.
[Motorola Droid X2] reaktorblue:
I too was in the same boat. My experience thus far has been to go with Eclipse 1.3 RC2. It seems to be the fastest out of the box with no additional modifications. I consider myself a min/maxer. I don't play games or do any silly stuff with the phone. I want performance with calls, texting, email, GPS, and web browsing/forum posting. I've tried just about all the ROMs I could find and thus far, I have to say Eclipse 1.3 RC2 has met my needs.

I don't even bother with Titanium Backup anymore, in fact, since you use Nandroid to create the backup, there's no need to use Titanium Backup. The Nandroid does the same thing and so far, I've had a few problems back on the Droid X with it, as opposed to no problems yet with Nandroid. I figure using less resources is always better so I scrapped using it.

Following the guides for SBF, Root, and Bootstrap are easy (although I'm not new to this). The camera is superb on the Eclipse ROM, and the theme is absolutely terrific.

My very close 2nd place is the Liberty ROM. I liked it alot but found that directly out of the box, it felt just a bit slower. I did not install any apps to measure anything, just going by how things feel but all in all, I would recommend either of the two for the best experience, if your usage of the phone is anything similar to mine.

Hope that helps my friend!
[Motorola Droid X2] densetsu86:
Well i do everything the same with which ever rom i run but on eclipse 1.2rc it was so very poor in battery life. Just listening to music via power amp through headphones in an hr and a half i will lose 30% in battery life and with blur 2.3.4 in same time frame i would still be either 90% or 100%.

My opinion is that 2.3.4 does not read right we all know that and now we have this 1% reading the wrong info so the function is continously running using battery power just to give you this update by 1% and its just wrong.

And now im runing 2.3.5 and im back to having great battery life. Still get the jump but the battery function on stock for my phone is much more accuate. Btw i gave it about a week or so and it never got better. After my typical day 11 or so hrs off the charge its at 15-20% on eclipse but on stock blur 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 i have about 50-60% after the same amount of time.
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
Not quite sure why you were getting bad battery life. I'm running Liberty ROM and I used ROM Toolbox to set my battery icon to 1% and I get great battery life. In fact, I had to go to the hospital and I was there for almost 24 hours. I forgot to bring my charger with me and by the time I got home (around 20 hours), I was at 14%. This was with texting, making and receiving calls, playing some Angry Birds and even listening to an NFL game for about 10 minutes.

The appearance of draining is more in how 2.3.4 is inaccurately reporting the battery life. When I reboot, it usually jumps back up about 5%, sometimes 10% and then it creeps back down slowly.

I probably rebooted 4 or 5 times that day since I was just waiting around having nothing better to do. And like I said, it lasted me 20+ hours and was at 14% when I finally got home and was able to hook it up to a charger.

What other apps are you running? I'm also running Juice Defender Ultimate and that has helped immensely. It will shut down the 3g connection when I turn off the screen and go into standby mode. I also have Blue-Tooth turned off as well as GPS location. I only turn it on when I need it.

I should also mention that I'm on an extended battery as well which has helped.
[General Questions and Answers] galaxy44:
is Titanium backup still the best?

i uninstalled a stock app and it wont reinstall

also drop box always fails 50 times

And the Dev never writes back on the PRo version

Is there a better alternative to back up a phone and then remotely save the information via WIFI to a PC or something

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] mmmcfc:
I personally think it is the best backup app, and now you can also extract apps (and data) from clockwork mod backups. It is also free

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

You should just freeze the stock apps instead of uninstalling

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharlesCCO:
When one problem fixed, it always lead to another problem...

During my own challenge with whatsapp history restore, i figured out one thing...

I don't know since what time...(cause i didnt aware of it before)...,

After I install an app from market, the \data\data\com.xxxxx\databases is linked to \firstboot\sqlite\com.xxxxx\ ???!!!!

I did a simple google search, \firstboot\ should be storing device data and not user data...

Why user data's databases now will automatically linked to firstboot ?!

I know storing in firstboot maybe faster, but causing the app failed to manipulate the database files in firstboot because access rights issues...

Hope someone interested to share your knowledge or find the answers together~~

Thank you!~

My own thought is ...Recovery ?! but no idea how to find the answer right now...:confused:

Update :

More info , \firstboot\ is in yaffs2 while \data\ is in ext3...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
Firstboot is the data partition on the nand,

data is the data partition on the innersd.

I'm guessing the streak cant completely boot off the innersd, so it needs some of it's files to stay on the nand to boot properly.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharlesCCO:
Thanks, that could be the possible reason!

But do you know when Dell implemented this approach ?

I am pretty sure I dont have problem in backup/restore individual app's db files when i first receive my streak as 2.2

But this happen to me in rooting 2.2.2 [root] , 2.2.2 [restore to stock] , 2.3 [GS2.4/DSC 0.5].
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
I guess it was easier to make 512mb nand + 2gb innersd then it would be to put a 2gb nand into it.

Pretty much all other android devices of it's age use 512mb nands and nothing else.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharlesCCO:
Oh yes, it is so called 512RAM + 2Gb ROM...

[Epic 4G General] quick99si:
I've been getting this recently with 3 GB roms and 2 kernels on E22 modem. It happens when I restore my apps+data using Titanium Backup and reboot. This is "user apps" only. I'm working on restoring in batches to troubleshoot, but there are way too many so I got a logcat as well.

Order of events:

Boot -> media scan -> delay of 60-120sec -> restart rom (does NOT show kernel or rom splash screens on restart)

------ loop

I can't seem to pinpoint the offending app. It's also possible that it may be too many of them, or too many on SD. It happens on battery power, on AC, and on USB with airplace mode on/off.

Any ideas how to solve this?

LOGCAT: http://quick99si.home.comcast.net/misc/logcat.txt

Oh, and the log was stopped as soon as I saw the screen turn off. There's definitely data in there from the subsequent restart.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAWyered:
I am trying to get away from sense for obvious reasons. I'm only missing the friendstream, news, twitter scrollable widgets. Shopping revealed Pure Messenger/News widget as a viable option. Although to be useful to me it needs to be scrollable.

-Running CM7 nightlies #130

-ADW Launcher stock with CM7

-Verizon Droid Incredible 2

-Rooted, obviously.

Pure Messenger states that ADW is supported, but scrollable widgets must be enabled and it isn't currently. I find no setting for scrollable widget enable and the documentation for this version (latest) doesn't list it. However a previous version had a setting from what I find online. Maybe the non CM7 version?

Anyone have a solution for pure messenger or alternative app? I'm certain many people running CM7 desire these widgets so there must be a solution but a search didn't reveal anything within 6 months.

Note: I was having this same issue with other phones, and other launchers [read: go launcher, launcher pro], so this should apply to everyone. Including me when I buy the Galaxy Nexus upon release.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAWyered:
I gave up on the Pure Widgets and went with Colorize. Scrolling works fine and I got the paid version and it looks really nice.

I thought the Pure Widgets were the most popular which would lead to less bugs and better support but obviously not.

Now the only problem is Colorize doesn't have a RSS feed selector or news widget like sense but I think I can get around it with customizing Google RSS feeds.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk:
Ok, somebody should explain the need for scrollable widgets, or indeed most widgets, to me.

You swipe homescreens to get to the one you want, e.g Calender, Twitter.. and then you scroll it to find what you want etc...

Why not just open the Twitter or Calender app instead?

This sums up my pet peave with Android really. So much bloat. So much unnecessary carp. Why do one thing well when you can do it three different ways, badly. :rolleyes:

I'm still not sold on the idea of multiple homescreens, in fact i'm as perplexed by the notion now as i was three years ago. Android has an app drawer. It has shortcuts for every app within. Open app drawer, select shortcut, use app! Why would i need shortcuts all over my homescreen?

And while i'm busy derailing the thread with my rant, what's with the honking great clocks and weather on the homescreens? There's a clock in the status bar and the weather is right outside. Use a window!

Obviously i'm in the minority here so i'll just crawl quietly back into my minimalistic hole. Good to get it off the chest though!
