[General Questions and Answers] TommyB83:
Hello,

After hours of searching I gave up.

I have a Motorola q9h (Windows Mobile (Smartphone) 6.5)

It has, sad but true, no indicator led. I missed to reply to several sms because I haven't heard the ring tone or whtever. I don't look each hour on my cell phone.

Is there an application (best case freeware) that will flash the screen while there are unread sms? Such kind of a workaround for the missing led.

Or another, maybe better way? (except to have a look more frequently)

Thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] chopper the dog:
s2u2 has that where the device will wake up and show message on screen and then uses the windows backlight time out.

maybe an option.

OOOPPPPPSS!!!! just realized you had a smart phone and not a ppc.

good day.
[General Questions and Answers] TommyB83:
Thanks for your reply.

Well, s2u2... I can't slide because the device has no touch screen :)

By the way, my mobile turns the display on on incoming messages, but after 5 seconds (if locked) it's off again and keeps off.

It is not 'flashing' like the indicator led on the most touch based devices

It seems like LP bogs down SO much after a while.. to the point where everything hangs. I revert to the TouchWiz Launcher and it's like night and day, with the same widgets + feeds and updates.

What gives? Anyone else notice the same?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] dashed:
Yeah I notice it for sure. I haven't noticed it since the lag fix, but it has only been a couple days.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Dougefresh91:
Launcher pro is way quicker than touch wiz for me. Before and after I applied the lag fix. I also try and reset my phone every other day our so.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] heygrl:
I did one of the lagfixes but I undid it and decided to do a factory format. I don't notice much difference, except for when LP lags up the whole phone. I've gone back to the TWL and things are snappy again.

I've never seen the need to reset every other day. But I do notice LP seems really fast with transitions.. but there are some bugs here and there like the preview cards getting jumbled together and such.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zephiK:
Uh. use ADW Launcher? no problems with it with lagfix, I don't know why so many users of the Vibrant community dislike ADW Launcher and is mainly biased towards Launcher Pro.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] implosive_disgorgence:
the only thing i liked about ADW was the option to make more icons fit on the screen. other than that i think TWlauncher is smoother and less buggy. plus the multicons app does what i liked from ADW anyway
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] disturkis4u:
Lp is the best! I hate that adw replaces the menu> settings with its own preferences....stupid. Plus lp is faster than anything else
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] heygrl:
I have nothing against ADW, but I'm using LP right now so that's why I posed the question.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bromat80:
I use launcher pro for one reason. I love the calendar widget. I do notice that it gets a little laggy every once and a while and most of the time a reboot takes care of it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zephiK:
Seems like you have a pretty big grudge against ADW Launcher. Using another launcher would "solve" your problem. What does LP have to offer that is making you stick with LP? Both are great launchers and the winner depends on the users' personality.

@disturk: It replaces the notifications button on the menu. Is notifications on your menu really necessary? Plus. I believe LP also replaces one button with Settings.

@bromat80: There are other alternatives to the widget, and if a launcher is lagging me then to my opinion it wouldn't be worth having if it lags. At least not until the developer fixes the problem. Try CalWidget as a alternative if you were to experiment with another launcher.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] heygrl:
What are you talking about? Seriously though. Yeah, I've got it out for ADW launcher!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] disturkis4u:
I was referring to being on the home screen..stock is menu, bottom right is settings for phone...lp keeps this whereas adw puts adw settings on the bottom right and moves phone settings to the bottom middle...(unless they've changed it..haven't used adw in a month)

Photo is lp menu
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] disturkis4u:
Sorry forgot to attach photo
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bromat80:
I guess what I was getting to is that I like both ADW and Launcher Pro equally and what makes me choose LP is the calendar widget. The lag doesn't bother me. I was just pointing out that I do notice that it does get laggy and normally a reboot takes care of it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MacGuy2006:
I personally find Launcher Pro more elegant.

No lag that I notice.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] boodies:
Whoa whoa, whats with the attitude bro? if the OP likes a certain product and want to support it, he can do whatever he wants. It sounds like you are the one with the grudge against LP. I personally like LP because it does 3D App Drawer and 5 icons columns on desktop. AND it's fast as **** on my phone.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] abrown0809:
Yea, launcher pro all the way, my phone used to lag with touch wiz all the time.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
LP here. Absolutely no issues at all. Incredible.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jzero88:
Hands down TouchWiz is most definitely the fastest launcher of them all. I see no reason to use third party launcher other than to customize a few things. Does TouchWiz look like the iPhone? Yes! Does the Vibrant overall look like a better version of the iPhone clone? Yes!! lol. Do I love my Vibrant with all of my hear? *$#@ YES!!! but that is besides the point I am trying to get at :D

Launcher Pro sucks in my opinion, and is much much slower than TW. You can tell by that it takes a few seconds longer to initially load the icons when going into Applications. Transitions just aren't as fast either.

ADW is probably a tad bit faster, but you still can not compare it to TW. I do wish that I had an option to go back and forth between stock and TW. Hopefully that will be made available in 2.2.

I would say stick with TW, make life easy :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] disturkis4u:
You can change the speed at which the applications load in the drawer on lp. I don't think anything is farr than instantaneous

I prefer lp because I don't like the side to side scroll in the app tray. I have my speed set higher than the default values for lp and experience no lag.

Your guide has already cause one user to have problems.

You say "find PB31IMG.zip in this thread." The only PB31IMG.zip in that thread is the stock RUU back to 1.00.03.04.06, not the 2.15 radio. You should probably upload the 2.15 radio yourself and link to it.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheWhiteBandito:
Question. I'm not going to install Forever, but I've been rooted for a long time. However, I am still running the 1.00 radio. Can I just use the 2.15 radio PB31IMG.zip file over the 1.00 radio? If not, then will installing this PB31IMG.zip file factory restore my phone or just update the radio? I thought with the 1.00->2.05 radio, it would make you factory restore your phone, not sure if that was the case with 1.00->2.15
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadicus:
You can not do a radio update from 1.00 to 2.15 without either doing a factory reset of sorts with that OTA file or doing the unrevoked forever.

Sent from my Incredible.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Berzerker7:
There doesn't exist a signed RUU with the 2.15 radio, so in order to get the 2.15 radio, you HAVE to use unrevoked forever. The closest you can get is 2.05 radio

[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadicus:
I just modified the guide. I changed section 4 to two different sections. Section 4A is for those wishing to update to Cyanogen 6.0.0-RC3 rom. Section 4B is for anyone who does not wish to use Cyanogen and wants to try another Froyo rom.

I wanted to make the guide more universal as I created the guide to be a kinda catch all and felt that limiting the instruction to one rom was biased. Even though I have tried other roms and prefer Cyanogen's rom, I wanted to leave that choice up to the users.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iakamand:
i am new to all this and wanted to know if it's possible to go back to stock after doing all these steps. and if you could let us know how or post a link if you can. and which is the best Rom for the Droid incredible.

thank you very much for your post it helps a lot
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadicus:
The guide has been updated with the information you requested.

As far as roms I can only say from personal experience which ones I have tried and liked.

Cyanogen: Great, fast and almost flawless. Cons: Internal storage not getting mounted and have had a couple freezes in the few days I have had it. But good otherwise.

Skyraider: Great, pretty fast, no major problems. Even comes with hulu app. Not as fast as Cyanogen it seems but no freezes that I can recall.

Jager: Great, cool UI customization, missing google apps so that was a killer for me, but there are alternatives for some of them on the market and perhaps ways to get the google apps back on there, just didn't try that hard myself.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] papajay224:
Amazing Instructions, Im farely new to all these things and the things i hate the most are Devs or Helpers out there using ll the lingo that most of us just getting into, dont understand. Like flash into recovery and flash rom and Boot into revoery and do a nand flash recovery blah blah blah...Ive always known how to root but geez were all not developers.

I think what you have done here is fantastic and you have successfully helped a scared noob in making his HTC Incredible dreams come true...Froyo Here we come!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadicus:
Thank you. I know exactly what you are talking about. During the creation of the guide I did make sure I kept it on a level that someone just walking into this kinda stuff would understand. I always hate it when people talk above my head too, it's not like I can't understand, it's just I don't understand yet because no one explained the base parts to me first.

That being said if there is any part of my guide anyone does not understand, please speak up and I will do my best to explain it and update my guide for better understanding.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadicus:
I have updated the guide. The section about installing other custom froyo roms was lacking a step. The step of doing a "wipe data/factory reset." This can, after a rom install, cause a persons phone to go into a boot loop. A boot loop is not that big of a deal but can be scary if you don't know about them. They are not a permanent problem and in this case are fixed very simply by doing a "wipe data/factory reset" from recovery. I also added a small note to the bottom of that section detailing how to get into recovery to do the wipe if you are stuck in a boot loop.

Please let me know if anyone has any problems.

My Issue

Hey guys,

Thanks for the guide. It's really helpful to have one written in Plain English. I have a Rhodium and am used to the WinMo flashing and such, but getting on board with the Incredible has seemed a bit more daunting (ironic IMO).

Anyway, I rooted my Incredible, did the NAND unlocking (as far as I know - is there any way to confirm this?), and get stuck at the same place - the droid won't flash the radio. it complains "No image or wrong image" when it finds the zip file.

Did I miss a step somewhere, or is there a known way to "force load" it? I don't want to brick my phone obviously =)

Thanks!

Joey
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bluetooth_decay:
Reboot the phone into the bootloader by holding Volume Down (I think) while turning on the power. You should see some tiny, multicolored text. At the top somewhere it should say "S-OFF"; if it doesn't, you are not NAND-unlocked.

I do believe you need this to flash the radio.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] voyager529:
Thanks for the response.

I took a look at the bootloader like you suggested, and it turns out that mine does indeed say"S-OFF". I also formatted my sd card to fat32 as instructed. Still, it yields the same error. I was thinking that I could use the clockwork mod to force install the zip, but I was unable to find any documented case that listed this course of action, and I'm not going to start guessing when it comes to flashing the baseband.

Any thoughts?

Joey
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadicus:
If it says s-off then you are nand rooted.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] voyager529:
That's what I thought, but it's still not letting me flash the radio and I haven't found recourse for the error.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] immortal7792:
quick question, if i updated my radio once then downgraded back to the stock version can i reupdate or will my phone brick?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] voyager529:
"No image or wrong image"

Solved my own problem! and damn do I feel stupid.

I've never looked at the microSD card in the phone, so for some reason I thought the 6GB partition was the card, not the 2GB one that actually was. The problem occurred when I attempted the update, but the ZIP file wasn't on the SD card, which would explain why I got a "no image" error - there really wasn't one there. So, I copied it to the card it found the image fine. Jager ROM, here I come!

Joey
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Phaded:
Thanks for the guide. I will be receiving my Incredible tomorrow so this is a nice easy walk through for me.

Just one question, doing the unlocking of the nand and all, do I have to flash a custom ROM? Or can I just sit at stock 2.1 with stock radio until I find a ROM that I feel is worth flashing?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] voyager529:
Once you've unlocked, you can do certain things like use Wireless Tether, Titanium Backup, and install ROM Manager that aren't possible in an unrooted state. However, a rooted phone will still happily run the stock Verizon ROM without an issue; I did this for nearly a week as I personally took the tutorial very slowly. Just today I'm flashing my ROM for the first time.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dafrag:
So I downloaded Revoked 3.1 and there is just a .exe file.

After running this file, everything is extracted and my computer (running Windows 7 x64) and keeps lagging, freezing up from time to time, then the screen goes black with just my mouse on the screen.

I can't do a ctrl+alt+dlt, and the Windows button on my keyboard does nothing...

What do I do?!

Sent from my Incredible
[Droid Incredible Android Development] voyager529:
I'm also running Win7 x64 and didn't experience the issue you're describing. Did you install the special USB driver? It's possible that skipping that step may have caused the problem.

Joey
[Droid Incredible Android Development] .jond:
After you install unrevoked forever, can't you just update the radios like normal, over the air from verizon? And then after that install your rooted rom?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dafrag:
I have not installed the USB driver.

I will try that and keep you informed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dafrag:
I also forgot to ask, is there a program to backup ALL text messages, contacts, etc.?

I'm going through some court stuff and I need ALL of my text messages and it would be much easier if I could just back them up somewhere and restore them when I get a new ROM running.

I've tried mi:Q, but that doesn't work for crap.

It only backs up SOME of my pictures, 3 of my contacts (which are gmail contacts) and only about 20 text messages.

I know this is unrelated and I analogize, but I didn't know where to go.

Thanks everyone!!! =D

In that example yes you can reupdate. You just don't want to update the same radio patch over itself.

@ dafrag

You might check out myBackup from the market, I think it BUs texts. As for Titanium backup, you have to be root first to use it, and I'm not even sure if it will do texts, but ill look in a minute.

My coworker is gettin Incredible tomorra, and I'm lookin into rooting for him, so I thought I'd check the incredible forum (obviously). But aren't there other methods than unrevoked to root incredible? I ask because, over on the Evo forum, people tended to be wary of unrevoked, saying it wasn't a full root (not to mention their first release broke 4G for a lot of us - not me, didn't use it), and now that unrevoked forever is out, people there still seem wary, saying its 'a big deal', too permanent, etc. Anyone on incredible forum speak to any of this? Much thanks.

Let me clarify : I'm NOT tryin to badmouth unrevoked, it works for many people obviously, just kinda wondered what the feeling was over here on incredible forum, and if there's another method y'all are using other than unrevoked. ?
