[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeycohen:
Hi,

I installed CM 7.2.0-RC3

I would like to play around with some other ROMs

My questions are:

1) Any recommendations for some good ROMs? Specially ICS ROMs

2) Should I follow the exact same process as I did with CM (I used ROM Manager and ticked all the boxes - clear dalvik, clear something else etc)

3) I noticed that nandroid does not generate a single zip like flashing ROMs. How do I restore and why would I used this option if I can just re-flash ROM?

Thanks!!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Lee:
1. Joker's ICS ROM, Neutrino CM7 ROM, and NottachTrix4G GB ROM

2. Don't use ROM manager to flash ROMS, use a recovery ROM racers ect..

3. For nandroid, I personal do this. I do a backup of a ROM. And when I want to flash the ROM I flash the ROM itself, no Gapps or anything and then I restore the ROM with the nandroid backup.

Hope I answered your questions alright.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
I would agree with #1 and #2.

For #3 I would recommend a nandroid backup, then verify the backup before you reboot to make sure it is good. No need IMO to flash the original ROM when restoring from a nandroid. Much more important to do a full wipe first, then just flash your nandroid backup.

ROM Manager is fine as long as you have good experience with your recovery image. It exists for a reason.

AOKP is also a really good ROM. You should check it out.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeycohen:
Well, if ROM manager does the job I think I will use it. I'm assuming it's simply building a script that does everything that's needed.

I really don't have any experience with recovery

As for backups, I think I will simply use Titanium for my Apps and Data. Everything else I need is backed up on Google so I should be fine

Thanks everyone!!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeycohen:
OK, download gapps from:

http://www.jokersax.com/developer-pages/jokersax/cm9-gapps/

and aokp from http://d-h.st/e7A

Are these ok?

Can I simply go ahead and install through ROM Manager?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3athsd00r:
Gapps from here

http://goo.im/gapps

*Edit*

Actually I think that AOKP zip comes with gapps as an option in it.

And it doesn't matter if you use ROM manager or not.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeycohen:
Thanks!

Where can I find build 38 for the Atrix?

Well.... Actually nandroid backup is better than titanium or other things in case you got softbrick after flashing.

META WIDGET

Meta is a unique app that can turn virtually any online content into dynamic, interactive widgets.

Simply browse to a website, pick a column of text, link or image and enjoy this information right on your home screen!

Why is this cool you ask? Because almost anything can be parsed out of a website - images, blogrolls, RSS feeds or entire windows.

Any widget created through Meta can be customized and automatically updated, or updated on user interaction.

Features

★ Create widgets from almost any website element

★ Parse graphs and images

★ Extract statistics and information from authorized sites

★ Configure widgets (background, alignment, etc.)

★ Automatic updates

★ User defined click actions

★ Lots of other cool stuff

Status

The app is currently quite stable, but we still prefer to call it a beta. So please, do write to us with suggestions or bug reports!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Goodm7sn:
So far so good.. Been having a problem of not updating the widget properly with a previous version.. But it's resolved now..

I use it for a local weather website, however, when I'm setting it up, I can choose the image (with difficulty) when I'm on desktop or android mode within the app . But nothing shows up.. As if it's transparent.

But if I choose iphone mode. It works..

Dunno if u got my point.. I'll attach pictures

Thx for trying to fix it.

Looks like there are some dodgy tags around the images. Try using the buttons to avoid capturing the wrong element.

Hi,

I have recently installed Meta Widget. I thought i could use it to grab the market headline from www.ft.com, i have managed to grab one article, but i want to be able to scroll all the market headlines.

Is this possible?

Many thanks in advance,

Mike
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Yes, it should be possible. Remember, you need an element that has a lot of similar elements if you want to make a list. So for example, in ft markets it should be the title of the ones 1/3 down the page that say EQUITIES CURRENCIES etc.

hello!

i'm running cm9 by modpunk and i know that cm9 doesn't have a preferred network speed setting on its menus.

the question is, is there a chance i can edit build.prop myself and make the phone connect to hsdpa networks only instead of auto?

thanks in advance :p
[HTC Wildfire S] dudeman1996:
It's weird how that is.

If you go to Settings>System>Notification Drawer>Widget Buttons and check the "Toggle 2G/3G" box, then at the bottom, tap "Network modes" and change it to "2G/3G Only". Then drag down your notification bar and change the network mode to 3G only.

Hi,

I am really confused, yesterday I flash Alba LQ2 rom latest full with no problems.

I like ICS its very good but slight problems occurred today.

This all happened during my travels to London in the train.

so I noticed my note did not go to deep sleep, so read in the forums to put on flight mode, turn off phone. take out batteries for a few mins(in my case 5 mins), put it back in turn on phone and turn off flight mode.

I did that but when I attempted to turn on the phone it just stayed on the samsung logo flashing white and blue for 20 minutes. I restarted it and the same thing.

As this happened in the train i panicked. I went to CWM with no problems and tried to flash the same rom again without clearing any data or cache and so on.

the following came up:

CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7

-- Installing: /emmc/AlBa_XXLQ2_Full.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

AlBa XXLQ2 Full

and the bar where it shows it working stayed empty for 15 or so minutes, so i got annoyed and tried it again, went back to cwm without a problem did the same and the same thing popped up. I've kept it till now and it is still the same for the past 1 hour and 20 or so minutes.

I don't want ICS anymore, I just want to go back to GB right now. Have I bricked my note? if not, can anyone guide me to get back to GB if possible.

Thanks in advance.

oh and my phone was not overheating whatsoever. it seems cool till now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salespalace:
assuming no one has replied, just to say, ive sorted it out, i restored to a rooted gb rom via pc odin and then wiped data. and now its fine, may give paranoidandroid a shot.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
You may have to give your flashing hobby a breather for now.. .you just came from a nearly brick experience and now you want to try to flash another ROM again?

Sooner or later, you may encounter that infamous HARD BRICK BUG that people are saying all over the Galaxy's Note's thread..

Just caveat in flashing or changing ROM always...

you never know what your gonna get until you will finally get it....

Cheers!. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreww88:
From what I gather so far, you were smart enough to not wipe data or anything so you were not bricked at all with the eMMc bug and you knew what to do on your own (probably by reading the forums) which I would say I am proud of you for.

You did correctly by flashing to Gingerbread. Now, you want to try ParanoidAndroid (I must say it is fantastic). It's based on CM9 so it's easy. Since you are on GB, make sure you are rooted. Flash the CWM.zip file (in drketan's thread). Then, flash ParanoidAndroid. Wipe cache, dalvik cache, and data. Reboot. Enjoy awesome hybrid settings.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salespalace:
thanks both of you. oh my, i must paranoidandroid is really good, never thought i could witness so much from a community built rom.

yh I didn't wipe data when i was at ics, i knew the phone will die if I did. anyhow thanks.

@letters_to_cleo, i guess your right, ill stop flashing for a while.

the reason i do this, its just because I have some knowledge on the linux world coming from n900 maemo and so on its all good fun and interesting to see how open android really is.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreww88:
If you read the OP and stickies, you will be fine. So, continue flashing! It's fun when you follow the rules given.
[HTC Desire S] amrish96:
hey guys, I have a question

I flashed the Virtuous Saga v.1.0.0 ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1669497) on my desire s, and it says the recommended radio is 20.71.30.0833U_3831.17.00.16_M. I'm still on 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03, and I want to know if it's save to update. Are there any risks? And should I even flash it? What are the improvments from the old radio? Tnx in advance!
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
Advantages / Disadvantages of the new Radio are subjective & the observations can vary from person to person.

If you try to flash it , make sure you backup your ROM (nandroid) before you flash the radio, as a radio flash also wipes the /data partition (i m not too sure if it is /data only or also the other partitions...)!

After you're done flashing, Restore your Nandroid Backup & reboot...

Also, don't forget to delete the radio file from the root of your SD card afterwards!
[HTC Desire S] amrish96:
Okay thank you! I'll try to flash the new radio tomorrow then
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
Make sure you read the guides in the forums before you flash the radio.

If anything goes wrong , you might end up with a very expensive calculator !! :eek:

If you do not have any issues with your current radio, i'd suggest you to stay on it!
[HTC Desire S] amrish96:
Yeah, I just hope I won't brick it... I haven't read through all the treads, but I only have to place it on my sd card, boot in bootloader, and then wait, am I right?
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
Make sure the filename is PG88IMG.zip exactly & placed in the / of the sdcard.

Reboot the device into Bootloader.

The bootloader will scan for the radio update. Once it finds the update, select Yes.

Allow the bootloader to flash the updated radio.

Refer the Radio section in the INDEX .
[HTC Desire S] amrish96:
Alright, I'll try tomorrow. Thanks for your time :)

Yes, the GPS fixes very fast, like some of our friends mentioned above, partly because this GPS system is in hybrid with the former Russian Glonass system, hence catches more satellites. However, I am disappointed that the accuracy is not different than my older traditional GPS system on older phones. The best accuracy that I got is 5 meters under clear sky conditions so far

Amazon has a really good offer on this smartphone, it is at 299€ right now. I was going to buy the Arc S until I saw this offer.

I know Razr is better than Arc S in almost everything (maybe only lose in the camera) but there something I'm worried about the Razr...

I read that it doesn't have compatibility with some apps, is that true?

The battery is not removable... can I have problems with that? If the phone gets blocked how can I shut it down?

I want to keep this smartphone for some years (2 or even 3 maybe, I'm not a heavy user I just want it goes fluid in the apps, internet... I don't care the 3D games) so... maybe I'll have to change the battery some time to get a longer life of the phone ... is it expensive or problematic?

What about the sound with earphones to listen music?

It is the battery life longer than in the Arc S?

When is going to have ICS?

Hope someone can help me with these questions, thanks! :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JDunc:
Battery life for me is great with JuiceDefender. It will easily last all day with moderate/semi-heavy use. If for some reason you need to shut down because your phone has frozen or having a problem, you can hold the Vol and side unlock button in at the same time and phone will reboot. If you do need to replace battery you can find videos and tutorials on how to replace one. I listen to music at work everyday and I enjoy it enough. ICS should be here in a few weeks, but no one can say.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BakaPhoenix:
The razr is a very good phone, i can do a day with 3g and music and some little use (check mail, chat and sometime browser) and i end the day at 45-50%

The battery is not removable but you can change it easily.

ICS is coming, they are saing the 12 june, in latin america is already out it seems.

For the hardware is one of the best phone (ofc excluding the new one).

The only problem is the lockedbootloader. If you don't care about modding etc and you usually stay stock than for that price is really good
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sRDennyCrane:
I heartily recommend the Razr Maxx and warn people against the original Razr. Unless you're going to be around a charger to "top off", you will not get a full day (24 hours, not morning to bedtime) on the original Razr with any serious use. The Maxx often goes 2 days with heavy use.

As far as not being able to remove the battery, press power and down volume for 10 seconds. That does a soft reset. Same effect.

I haven't heard of apps not working on the Razr... unless they were device-specific apps designed for something else... like the Acer updater tool.

My Razr has been smooth, fast, and trouble-free.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] alhar:
Thanks for the answers.

As I said I'm considering this phone because the offer of amazon, I don't want to spend more than 300€ in a smartphone because I'm not a heavy user, I don't even need a dual core but the offer is really good and my other option is Arc S which is 275€, for only 25€ more I get a dual core, 1gb ram... so the Maxx is discarded.

I guess all the phones (except Maxx) have the same battery life with a similar use.

Seem like Motorola doesn't have many support by users to make modifications or roms like other brands, or am i wrong?

If I root the phone do I lose the warranty?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BakaPhoenix:
It doesn't have it because of their policy of F*ck up their customer.... (too bad since the razr is one of the best 2 core phone)

Anyway, yes rooting usually void the warranty (but this is for every phone not only motorola)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JDunc:
Yes, but you can always unroot.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altimuh:
Hey all,

First off - this is in no way a knock against all the self-sacrificing developers we have - they truly rock!

My question requires a little bit of background. I've been flashing since the days (lol) of Midnight Rom. Switched to Syndicate Frozen. I then started in the CM world with CM7 and liked it a lot. I felt it was quite snappy - although it had some quirks. Then when CM9 came out - I dived in. The quirky list of things about CM9 has really grown smaller and smaller. But one issue I feel remains. The speed. When I switched to CM9, I thought, well it's new, and it "wasn't even supposed to be able to fit on our phones to begin with..." but now I just don't know.... there has been a lot of streamlining and bug tweaks - I would have thought it should have smoothed out a bit.

My problem is, I just don't know when it's going to lag. I feel like sometimes it's fine, and other times it's just sitting there waiting and waiting to complete the action I've tapped. Other times it freezes and I have to long press the back key to kill the app.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this problem or if it's just me? Are we living in denial (lack of snappiness to have the latest OS ver), or is my phone saying I don't like what you've put in me!

FYI - I started with CM9 Alpha (something - can't remember) and I'm currently running Beta 3 (I usually like to wait a few days to see if there's any issues with the latest build b4 flashing). When I flash the latest builds, I only wipe cache part and dalvik cache. I also am sure each time to flash the recommended GAPPS. I have on occasion "fixed permissions" but that didn't do much.

I've been faithful about not flashing another kernel - although if that would help, any recommendations would be appreciated. Also, I was interested in trying the V6 Supercharger, but never did - and now it seems that no one is using that....

So is it just me, or is this everyone?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Start clean... wipe data... go into mounts and storage format /system. Then wipe dalvik. Flash the newest build and enjoy the slick ness... trust me fresh starts will save your life. Besides when installing new builds you can go into back up and restore. Backup your Google account and it will reinstall all your apps automatically.

The V6 supercharger will help as well.
