Ok here is the problem im going to try to make it as clear as possible. I added this rom and it is working fine but I am now having issues in getting to recovery or clockwork mod. when i added this mode i did not clean everything out of the sd which i think was my biggest mistake but im trying to get to the recovery either by the clockwork, stock, or by odin so if anyone knows pls help. I currently have the aospish 1.1 froyo rom.

(Bump) Updates...

s15274n,

Hey bud... What's going on with the JAC's overview? *bump*

Also, I noticed in your signature that you got Aura Froyo... How's that?

I haven't tried that yet, i was wondering what's the ups and downs on that ROM? So far I'm actually liking AOSPish... I'm going to try TW's Obsidian... Just waiting to see what others are reporting for bugs... It's V3 now. So i'll wait a few more...

PM me when you get a chance :)

Hi op. I hope.this.an appropriate place for this but, I finally got around to installing the Nexus Calendar. I just got.too annoyed with not getting notifications for stored events. Anyway it installed and is working,but it seems I'm not able to add alternate calendars. Or is Google the default calendar? In that case great BC I often forgot to select Google Cal. In the stock Vibrant Cal. Good luck on your exams.

Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Honestly, with Froyo rolling out and with my studies the oc/ov kernels from eclair would be on the "I cant reach back-back burner"... I am absolutely in love with Master's Axura ROMs. I am running 2.0.3 now, and was about to update to .4, but I check his site often and it looks like .5 is getting a good speed bump so I am going to hold off. I am getting great battery life, gps locks super quick, very easy on the eyes and it feels Very snappy (I use LauncherPro). I will not be switching from his ROMs unless they get Cyanogen less buggy and then I will be trying it.... but may very well come back to Axura.

PM Sent.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Google is the default. I have been flashing so many ROMs lately I have not been using it, but it should be already setup assuming you logged in and selected your calendar in the menu settings.

I still have not heard of a fix for the white bar, which i a bit annoying in my opinion. If you hear/see anything, please let me know!
[Vibrant General] demize!:
The white bar looks like a text input field, but it doesn't really bother me. Under settings where you choose your calendars, my name is there and checked, but if I choose add additional calendars the box has yes greyed out.

Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.

Can i change the HSDPA 1700 / 2100 to HSDPA 850??

Hi all, Before i own this phone, i had an At&t tilt 2, so i flashed it with a custom firmware and in that CF i could change the 3g frequency to any, because AT&T and T-Mobile have different 3G frequency... and a unlocked phone of At&t won't work on t-mobile 3G network just in 2G or edge and T-mobile Unlocked phone the same with At&t network... The deal is that I'm not currently in USA and my current network provider use the same frequency of At&t for 3G network... so that's why I'm looking for a way to change it to HSDPA 850..

Thanks to anyone reading this!

And thanks a lot for the ones who are going to help me ;D!

Change the video recording settings???

Okay, I want to be able to save more battery when I shoot videos. Is there any way I can turn the screen off and record? If I press the lockscreen button, it only locks the screen but it still is on.

you should add this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=901988

it has a complete guide on getting the latest swype with no problems.
[Vibrant General] meorah:
You are using too many definitive words in this answer. The answer would be much better if you used softer terms that explained the entire situation instead of just your opinion. You are risking devaluing the entire guide by over-simplifying the issue for this one specific question. I would suggest the following as a starting point:

"Should I use a task killer?

Probably not.

You have an excellent OS running on an excellent phone. If you don't understand how android performs application memory management and also don't understand what task killers are doing when you "kill all programs" or set a task killer to automatically kill processes and services, it is possible to drain more battery over time and inadvertently cause temporary periods of slowness on your phone when you try to access applications.

That being said, there is nothing about a task killer that inherently makes it bad for your phone or redundant to android's native task management. If you are testing lots of apps there may be times where a task manager allows you to immediately kill a shady app that pings remote systems or uses local cycles when it should be in a true standby mode.

There is no single right answer for this question so try running with and without a task killer and choose whatever you feel provides the best mix of performance/utility/battery_conservation for your specific situation."
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I really appreciate the feedback, but I stand by my op in that regard. I made it bold because those who don't know would benefit more by not having a tk. froyo has a tk built into it also, so best to not have a third party app.

[Vibrant General] aeson:
This is my first post (& first android) and i wanted to say thank you so much s15274n for this awesome thread! I don't know if this would help...

lets say you're about to head out of the house to go somewhere but remembered you forgot to put a song, picture, or file to your phone. instead of hooking up your cable to your phone from the computer, mounting it, dragging the file, unmount from the computer, then unmounting it again from your phone you can use this app and drag files to a website and it will wirelessly transfer to your phone and thats it!

Go to h t t p : / / l a b s . d a s h w i r e . c o m / d r o p (sorry i couldnt attach a link because im still a new member:() and it will show you a number to put on your Awesome Drop App (i was going to put the barcode picture, but then again im new and couldn't so search "Awesome Drop" at the market). After that it'll be saved and you won't have to put any number if you decide to use it again so i would suggest to bookmark the website for quick access so you can just easily drag your files there!
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
cool, I am very familiar with Awesome Drop. I guess since we do not have Froyo (this function is built in) I will add it to the list. Thanks.

Okay, done adding stuff for tonight.... be sure and let me know what else to add guys! Thanks for everyone's positivity and help.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Alright. I lied. I added a lot more on Contacts and the Dialer. Could everyone review and make sure everything looks good. I need multiple eyes checking me. My worst fear is to lead anyone wrong.
[Vibrant General] siberslug:
Good wright up but your completely wrong about Task Killers.

when you have as many apps as I have on my phone the phone DOES NOT WORK without them PERIOD ..

My phone freezes or shuts off every 5 to 10 mins without it.

I do know that task killers don't work so well with Android 2.2 but with 2.1 they work great.

If it wasn't for Task Killers I would be returning this phone.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I'm not going to get into debates or arguments on this. I find your post hard to believe, unless you have a very old phone and a very early version of the android os. If your phone freezes/reboots every 5 to 10 minutes without a task killer you have MUCH BIGGER ISSUES going on. I think anyone reading your post would agree. I had 200 plus apps on my original g1, and none of them were a task killer. Perhaps one of the many apps you have installed is to blame for your issues. This is MUCH more likely than to blame the OS.
[Vibrant General] RandyN:
s15274n,

Great thread. Thanks for the tips and tricks. Really helpful to someone who's been on iOS the last two years. Really liked the brightness and FlipFont tips.

Helvetica is nice but the stroke is too heavy for me (it really is a matter of personal preference). You might also want to check out the following fonts:

Felbridge (nice, clean, contemporary-looking font--great for younger eyes)

Frutiger (big improvement over the built-in font)

Soho Gothic (nice, clean, contemporary-looking font and what I'm currently using)

All the fonts have tighter kerning (the spacing between letters) than the built-in font, so you'll get more text on screen with better legibility/readability.
[Vibrant General] iceshinobi:
Nice :D Did everything on this list ( removed task killer and made back up ). Learned how to adb and learned a few things. xD Thank You
[Vibrant General] WilliamStern:
Yup, I learned a few new things as well do to this thread. I also removed my task killer last night after reading this. So far, so good. Phone has been running perfect with out me always hitting task killer.
[Vibrant General] mrcrassic:
Great write-up; well done! Here are some suggestions:

- If you want to manage the files on your phone without a cable (or even over the Internet!), get SwiFTP from Market. Great app.

- Or you could use Astro with Bluetooth module if your PC has a Bluetooth controller.

- If you want to remote control your phone, download Droid VNC Viewer. It now supports copying from PC! (The developer behind this has done an amazing job keeping it updated. Support him!)

- Wireless ADB will let you use ADB wirelessly. Highly recommended.

As for the endless task killer debate, it's mostly useless on these types of operating systems since they do a good job at closing idle apps and managing memory. However, they come in handy when they can't kill runaway processes because they're doing useless background work. (Example: there was a bug with the Music app on my Nexus One with CM6.1 where it would cause mediaserver to use 100% of the phone's CPU for no readily apparent reason.) In these cases, a task killer helps. The problem is that people abuse it by trying to "manage" the phone better than it can manage itself and killing whatever's not in use. That's when instability ensues (the OS tries freeing resources that were forcefully freed, unexpected bugs in cleanup, broken dependencies, etc. etc.). I blame Windows Mobile for that. :)

WANT A NEW LOOK? CHANGE YOUR FONT!

In settings, go to sound and display. Change the "Font Style" is like 8th from the bottom. There are a few freebies, and about 50 for a dollar in the market. If you want to see more available, click on "Get Fonts Online." This will direct you to the Market.

I changed my system to helvetica, and I was amazed at the level it changed the phone.

XDA user jzero88 has an amazing thread with MANY, MANY fonts. Download, Install, go to Display Settings and change the font, reboot, enjoy. Big kudos!! For those with Lag fix, read this post just in case.

[Vibrant General] faith5x5:
Now that I've used this thread to get totally sucked into flashing ROMs on my phone (Axura 2271 runs really well so far), what is the best way to decline the apparently pending TMO OTA? Is it just as simple as saying "No" every time it shows up on my phone? How long will they try to push it to my phone? Will it stop after several "declines" in a row? One posting I read suggested "freezing" Device Manager in Titanium Backup. Couldn't find any further verification that it works or what else accesses DM and may not work while it's frozen.

My daughter messes with my phone all the time and I just imagine her hitting yes when the update comes in.

Any insight would be appreciated.
