The charge uses the touchwiz UI. it probably uses a different email client than stock android.

push email is supported by the stock email app, but if you're looking imap push, it does not support imap push email.

Im getting tired if I read in a rom thread "is this rom 4.0.4 based?"

NO ITS NOT! (not until the source drops, or we get a ota! )

Just to clear up the confusion :)
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
your right but people don't read and others get misinfo from others who have no clue..just causes confusion for inexperienced people

i understand your frustration and reason to post this

but wont change anything really
[Nexus S General] IIIV:
Just wait for version 4.0.5, which will be released next month (March) for the NS.
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
Your source? Please tell me it isn't the french image posted with no real source?
[Nexus S General] hp420:
ok, so no full aosp roms...but what about customized stock roms?? You don't need source for that, do you? Can't we just get some roms built on stock 4.0.4 with some kang features? That's what I really want anyway. IME, stock roms are always more stable, and the customizations are a really nice addition ;)
[Nexus S General] 4I-I:
Ns4g got the 4.0.4 update! So the source is already out isnt it?

Or how is it possible that 4.0.4 based roms are out?

sent while eating an ice cream sandwich in the matr1x
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
No the custom roms based on 4.0.4 are based on the leaked 4.0.4 build. NS4G didnt get the 4.0.4 update yet.

correct me if I'm wrong :)
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
Yes, if you want a good rom. Otherwise, there's no much you can do other than change some of the packages.

Hi

I installed Thiaz ROM and the ICS theme which there is a link to on his V2.4 page. All was running fine and dandy for a day. I installed all of my programs, apps, etc, and used App2SD to move some of them to the SD. Each time I did this, it said 'failed' the first time and then allowed them to be moved on the next. I rebooted the phone a couple of times and never had any problems. After I had got things set up as I wanted them, I rebooted into CWM and did a new backup. I then rebooted and went into bootloop.

Cleared data, dalvik and even battery stats. Tried fixing permissions. Nothing worked at all, still boot loop. Did a factory reset and restored the backup and still bootloops.

If I restore to the original backup from when I first put on the ROM (no ICS theme), it works OK. Then after a few hours and after I have turned on and off successfully a few times, I get the old bootloop again. I have not messed around with any system files, etc. One time it was after I moved a file with File Expert but I uninstalled that programme and haven't used since.

Any help or suggestions would be very gratefully received as I don't really want to go back to the stock V21a but I can't be doing with setting up everything on my phone from scratch every day either!

I hope someone can help me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JehTeh:
I am wondering about the feasibility of constructing an external antenna for the razr. Primarily, is there any way of interfacing with the radio, perhaps through usb, that avoids taking things apart? I'm uncertain of the feasibility behind modding the hardware to any useful extent.

Thoughts?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Cruiserdude:
Its possible to do most anything, however I wouldn't recommend this. You'd have to disassemble the phone, at least down the level of removing the back housing, as I believe the antenna is located with the camera bulge, though I'm not positive. The connector, if there is one, will be very small and delicate, though you may be able to expose the antenna wire itself in order to extend it.

Still, I have no idea how you would make an external antenna without cutting up the case, and everything is extremely narrow and delicate so I'm not sure where you could even pass it through, then you'd have to create some sort of housing for the antenna itself, and I'd imagine you'd want to firmly attach it to the device, seal it, and try to keep it from looking too horrible. That part would be extremely difficult.

I have some experience taking apart phones and other electronics, fixing and upgrading them, and even plan on doing the Maxx conversion as soon as parts are available, but I wouldn't feel comfortable doing this. At the very least I'd wait until spare parts are more readily available, as you'll probably break something. Again, where there's a will there's a way, so if you're comfortable taking electronics apart, study some teardowns, think about your strategy and get everything you need before you start tearing your phone apart, and realize that you do run a significant risk of irreparably damaging your device.

Why do you feel the need to do this? I've found the RAZR's reception to phenomenal, as good or better than anything I had back when phones still had external antennas.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vash_h:
I remember back in the days of me using my Nokia n95, there are modifications to improve GPS reception.. Which requires you opening the phone housing, solder some copper and let the copper wire run around the free space in the housing which improved GPS significantly to allow agps to be switched of but still able to get a lock acceptably fast.

But why on razr? My reception of radio and GPS is very good..

[Motorola Droid RAZR] JehTeh:
I am inclined to agree that it seems a rather tedious and unfeasible task to modify the actual inbuilt phone antenna. This is why I am curious if there is any other possible method of routing a signal to the radio; as best I can determine there seems to be no options aside from modifying the antenna itself.

I would like to note that I have no problems with the phone's reception as-is, but there are some special cases where the ability to attach a large passive antenna would be preferable to using a signal repeater.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JPtheSmith:
LOL, I remember researching the exact same question when I first got my OG Droid.

@OP: Are you talking about Wi-Fi, CDMA (3G), LTE (4G), or just reception in general? I'm not certain, but I don't think it's even possible to build a multi-spectrum auxiliary antennae (especially for anyone who's not an actual engineer). Antennae design is practically an engineering discipline unto itself, and I'm willing to bet money that a home grown antenna would would actually make your reception worse due to interference/signal corruption. Plus, any time you add more than about a foot of antenna length, you have to put in an intermediary signal amplifier, or you'll start dropping packets like crazy. There's just way too much to consider (and trust me, I would freaking LOVE to find a way to do something like this). In the past when mobile technology consisted of more discrete components? Sure. Nowadays in the age of SoC (system on a chip)? Nah ah.

In terms of a USB antenna, I honestly don't know if anyone makes these. If they exist, or if you're such a ninja you manage to build one (let me know if you do :-D ) there's no way to make your device's radio interface with an antenna over USB. Even if it could be done, you'd have to fundamentally rewrite the way Android controls/interfaces with radios (plus write your own drivers), and after all that, you'd be killing your connection speeds by forcing the signal through a software interface prior to being used by the radio itself.

I hate to say something is impossible (we are talking about Android, not friggin' iOS), but let's just say this one is better left alone. That being said, if anyone out there has a degree in electrical engineering and could actually pull something like this off, I'd love to be proven wrong. :-P

If you're having signal issues, I'd suggest researching the factors that can affect the specific connection you're having trouble with. When looking at reception, make sure to compare signal strength using dBm values and not something like how many 'bars' of signal are displayed. The best/simplest solution is to get a wireless range extender and/or cellular signal repeater. Not as much fun as building cool s*** from scratch, I know. Guess it depends whether you're looking for a destination or a journey.....

[Motorola Droid RAZR] JehTeh:
Sorry, I should have mentioned that my sole concern in this case is the gsm band, and I am unconcerned with maintaining a data connection.

As far as designing the actual antenna goes, it is non-issue. I am currently studying electrical engineering myself, and my father has been working in the field for around thirty years and can assist with any hangups, if necessary. My primary concern, again, is interfacing with the device. If there proves to be no reasonable way to accomplish this, then I will likely end up constructing a signal repeater. Unfortunately, that is a good deal more tedious than a passive antenna and (hopefully) relatively little coding.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JPtheSmith:
My apologies sir, I think you may know way more about this than I do. You're much better equipped than I am to tackle something like this. I studied mechanical engineering and computer science so I understand some basic EE principles (which I use to stumble through things like overclocking), but my strong suit is most definitely on the intangible soft(ware) side.

Anyway, what I said about using a USB interface still stands. There is a bi-directional pathway between your phone's USB interface and the cell radio (as seen in contexts such as internet connection sharing over USB), so in a highly theoretical sense it should be possible to programmatically facilitate the kind of communication you want. But the devil, as you know, is in the details.

There are a million potential obstacles, the greatest of which may be trying to procedurally disable input from the internal antenna while your passive auxiliary antenna is connected. If you're willing to sacrifice signal latency and a ton of CPU cycles you could theoretically run the radio input through an algorithmic filter before feeding it to the system (I doubt even a dual core mobile processor would be able to sustain a logic based signal filter and it's operating system simultaneously. If only the Razr had a Tegra 3 chipset....). Utterly no idea if this is doable. I would highly recommend reading what's relevant on the Android Developers site as a starting point, and then working your way back through the fundamentals of Linux/Unix (at this point you will know infinitely more than I do). That's the most efficient method I can think of for assessing Android as a viable platform, if you can't get a definitive answer.

It's worth mentioning that obtaining unadultered design specs for the SoC/board/handset/etc can be really hard to dig up nowadays unless you've got an inside source (anyone have a friend who's 'in the know' they'd like to share?).

Anyway, I can't believe I type this entire freaking thing on my phone...

To implement a modification like this would take a much higher degree of practical expertise in ground-up development than I possess, so I can't tell you much else. But this site is a breeding ground for world-class genius. If there is someone in the world who can help you, he posts on this forum.

I would not see the need? The radio/signal strength on the razr is among the best available. Motorolas have always been known for great signal strength/reception.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Adauth:
"Lolz" right back at you. Grow up.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JehTeh:
I was always under the impression that in the case of tethering, android was not so much handing over the entire radio connection, but instead providing an application with Internet access, which that application then "passed on" through the usb or wifi modules. If this is not the case, then perhaps there may be something here. Otherwise, I am uncertain if this is feasible. Essentially building a "virtual radio" strikes me as unlikely to work, due to, as you mentioned, the fact that it would likely require considerable processing power in addition to a great deal of programming work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JPtheSmith:
Dude, lighten up. I was just messing with you.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure you're right: without a lot of programming there's no chance of doing this (and probably not even then). Looks like you're only option is to go analog....BTW, is this project part of an assignment, or is it just for fun?

Sent from my Droid Razr Maxx
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JehTeh:
Not part of an assignment. And I've been looking into it, the choices are basically as follows:

-Build an inline switch that enables either the current antenna or an external port, into which an antenna can be wired

-construct a device that essentially mirrors the current antenna and supporting hardware, and *possibly* find a way to interface to this via software over usb

-use an active repeater

So I think it's safe to say that a (relatively) simple hardware modification is the ideal solution in this case.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falkon114:
So, I had liquid gingerbread 3.2 running on my bolt for the last few months. After I started having issues with almost every app in the market saying "your device isn't compatible with this", I decided to go back to stock, and re flash lgb.

Problems!:

1) on boot, lgb can't connect to any network. Tried flashing a PG05IMG from clockwork recovery, said installation aborted. Link to proper radio?

2) in liquid gingerbread, home key does nothing, and app drawer frequently closes without my input.

3) regarding titanium backup pro, when I backup "all system data and user data," why don't my text messages and new contacts get restored? The most recent messages I'm getting back are from when I backed up my system before first installing lgb. Why? When I try to do all this through My Backup Pro, some messages are restored, but handcent doesn't match numbers with contacts, so it appears that in texts,I have no recognized contacts when in fact they are present in "people" or "contacts."

what's going on? How can I get liquid working again, WITH my contacts, WITH my current texts, and WITH data/network connections?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falkon114:
Anyone else have any of these problems? Wiped cache/Dalvik cache prior to installation, and also did factory erase both through clockwork mod recovery as well as the built in android technique.

Possibly because i selected to recover all system apps and data in titanium backup, but I think nearly all these issues occurred before I restored any of that.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrothaJINC:
I don't have any problem but I'm on thunderstick...:)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falkon114:
Well, this latest install worked ok. Just took me a number of tries. My guess is that I was restoring some system app or another somehow.

I haven't tried thunderstick. Can you put up some screenshots? I haven't found any other rom I really like. I don't care for sense, which it seems most are based on. I love the style of liquid. Love the battery bar on top, love the widget shortcuts in the dropdown menu, love the power conservation, love the customization....

Hey Guys

I recently installed the CyanogenMod9 for my DACH-Retailversion of my Milestone 2. Installation was Succesfull, but when i boot my phone, the Red M-Logo comes, and then the CyanogenMod starts. All no Problem, but i get a bootloop while starting the CyanogenMod. The 9 appears, and then the CyanogenMod Logo appears, and then it starts again (9 appears, CyanogenMod Logo appears) and again and again..

I want to flash my Milestone with RSD-Lite, but it doesn't recognize my Cellphone. Two weaks ago, i had the problem with the M-Logo and it worked, but now, it doesn't work anymore..

What can I do now?

Using the wrong one will cause a boot loop until you get the right kernel on it (ie flash fixed sbf)
