[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuzzy_Dunlop:
For me the best advantage of an AOSP rom vs. a Sense/de-Sensed rom is the phone answer screen. With a sense rom I would always accidentally answer the phone when taking it out of my pocket when it was ringing. With AOSP roms the answer slider moves left/right so I never have this problem. I've also noticed that I have a lot more free memory at boot with an AOSP rom then even a de-sensed rom. The stock browser also allows many more simultaneous open windows then a sense based rom, which is limited to 4 windows total.

I just recently switched to Ruby 1.1.1 with the radio layer and bluetooth patch and have been loving it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epicardium:
For me, you have a few categories.

-Sense

-Sense light (e.g. Best of both worlds)

-AOSP

-MIUI (I know this is an AOSP, but really stands out)

I love the feel off the AOSP ROMS. The dialer and contacts have larger buttons, the answer slide sideways, the messaging, etc. Like you, I use LP, so the Sense widgets are out the door anyway. I kept tasting the new sense roms because of three better continuity of appearance, however. Also, Sense handles the mms apn stuff better. But then MIUI came along. I'm not sure why it's classified as AOSP, when it is really an impressive overlay of android, much as sense is. I don't really knower what I'm talking about, but I can tell you that MIUI changed me. I feel like it is giving me the best of both worlds, and I could go on and on about the little features that make it truly unique and powerful.

Boils down to preference. Try MIUI if you haven't already. Be sure to use v0.3. The newer v0.4 has some kinks.
[Fascinate General] mdram-omnia:
the vzw website comparison tool shows ths fascinate as being almost(within thousands of an inch) the same size as the DX.

can anyone verify this? i didnt do the x because its just too big.
[Fascinate General] ibegary:
There was a really good picture that compared the length of the fascinate to the T-Mobile variant, the Vibrant.

I'm trying to find it but the Fascinate is about 1/3 longer than the Vibrant but just as thin.

I played with one at the Verizon Store and I still found it better than the Droid X.

If I find the pic, i'll post the link.

Hey guys,

I installed the HTC Sync program, I had Outlook open, I set it up to sync my Contacts to the Outlook Contacts folder. Then I made sure that the sync process was set up to override the computer with what was on the phone in all cases.

I sync... contacts deleted from the phone. :mad::confused:

I've never understood this concept of syncing, can someone explain to me what I did wrong?

Secondly...I tried using "mybackup" from the market as a backup plan and my contacts never came back from there. Didn't work. The contact view shows how many I have but won't display them when I check them.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ukulele_ninja:
I love this phone but my only real big peeve with it is that I cant seem to figure out how to adjust the backlight settings for the underscreen dock (home, back, menu, search keys) When Im using the phone at night those buttons always end up turning off before the screen does and I cant find the one i need. Anyone know of a way to adjust this setting?

[Epic 4G General] sflores91:
I came into the same problem. Got my gf the phone and fell in love! There are a few options you have. Depending on how long you have left in your contract you can open another phone on your plan and eat the early terimanation fee. If yho decide to do this you'll lose your old number. This is only good if you're 9 to 1 month on you're way out of the contract cause of the prorating on the etf. If you're 12months into the contract you can upgrade with 100 dollars off. And time before 12 months you might as well pony up full price for this awesome phone. I canceled out of my old contract payin 90 bucks to do so. I think it was well worth it! :D

[Desire Themes and Apps] pauli900:
About 6 weeks ago I came across a post that allowed me to change my status bar icons by installing a zip file in clockwork recovery.

The main change was the battery indicator which was a circle made up of lots of small thin lines with the percentage in the middle. The circle changed from green to yellow to red and the percentage dropped. There were also cool new icons for bluetooth, gps and wifi.

I've just changed roms from modaco r5(I think) 2.2rom to modaco r8 2.2 rom but I didn't keep the zip file for changing my status bar icons. I've spent hours searching and reading through the forums looking for the thread but can't find it. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muledogg:
Hey there,

I rooted my Eris a few months back and just recently flashed Amon's v1.6.2 recovery via ADB on my XP machine.

I flashed the Eris_Official_0.8.1T2.zip and it worked like a charm.

I downloaded Rom Manager from the market and flashed the ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1 to handle flashing any new ROM's.

Now last night I tried to flash the kaosfroyo-v33.zip and it did not load correctly. I got the lock screen and when I slid to unlock, the screen was blank/black. Nothing.

Now when I go back into recovery, if I try to reflash the Eris_Official, I get the following error:

E:Can't symlink /system/bin/dumpcrash

E:Failure at line 7:

symlink dumpstate SYSTEM:bin/dumpcrash

Installation aborted.

I would like to get back to Amon's recovery and just flash the Eris_Official ROM.

Can somebody give me a little help?

Thanks in advance!

Now my phone will not even power on..

Kaosfroyo v33 was having some kernel issues. Try flashing v34.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delvaris:
It sounds bricked to me. This sounds exactly like what Stick experienced when he bricked his Eris. In addition, having flashed to Kaosfroyo 33 the kernel problems were taking the form of severe lag and basic inoperability but it still would boot fully into the OS, as well as having unfettered access to recovery and Hboot/Fastboot. Well hey it doesn't power on so Verizon can't call BS on a warranty replacement. Good luck my man.

Hi guys,

I have some questions about TG01. I just have bought one TG01 with orange ch. They said me TG01 have GPS and A Gps modules. Before, I had nokia navigator 6710 and I could use its navigation option in offline and it could connect to satellite easily. There are no data transfer and no internet connection so no price.

But now I cant menage to use its gps options in offline mode. In TG01 box, there is a storage card and some codes on it. How can I use it and I want to use TomTom or Garmin or iGO in offline mode. Can I use?

Please explain this questions smoothly because I'm a newbe on this pda. And I dont know any pda language :)

Thanks a lot.

Hi guys,

I was playing around with a few builds, Sense and no-Sense roms, and all have the same problem: it's apparently not possible to import existing playlists. I tried to import the playlists folder, the .apx files, the Double twist (for android) files, folder, nothing. Does anyone know of a solution to do the trick? Re-creating 18 playlist with over 5GB of music is just to much for me!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] forelli:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] PINki92:
If you're using iTunes, maybe you could import the playlist with some software on the Market. Try searching "itunes" on the market and import PL to itunes and than sync it with phone. Hope that could help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
If you're trying to sync iTunes playlists, I recommend iSyncr. It's a dollar or two, but currently the best solution available, it just works! I tried doubleTwist too, it's free and delivers somehow, but the computer part of this software is so unbelievably slow and ineffecient.

[Captivate General] fivebraids:
Is there anyway to restore a Captivate to 100% stock without a USB connection? Ie, load something on to an external sd cards to restore?

I've used ODIN plenty of times, but somehow I've lost my USB connection for anything other than charging the phone (USB Device Not Recognized).

Thanks...
[Captivate General] Zilch25:
Nope, Odin has to be done via USB, the closest thing out there is Redbend, but ATM people have only put together packages for flashing the kernel, not the whole phone
[Captivate General] DoritosMan:
What about drivers?

Have you tried updating the drivers or installing them?
[Captivate General] fivebraids:
Crap! :mad:

I guess I have to continue trying to get my USB connection to work.

I'm worried that my problem might be hardware on the phone, and without reverting to stock, I won't be able to return it!

Any ideas for the USB problem? I'm using the correct (ODIN) USB driver, installed, uninstalled, re-installed.
[Captivate General] fivebraids:
Wow, that's weird, but great news for you...congrats!

My situation is a little different, since I have USB on the phone to "Ask on connection" and each and every time I plug in the USB the phone vibrates and makes me select. Doesn't matter WHAT I select. The phone thinks all is well, but any computer I try to attach it to says the device isn't recognized. And I've tried both of the drivers, and have tried each on a clean on install on 'fresh' computers.

...

Back to the topic in the thread title...

...

Since ODIN from an SD card is a no-go...how about a clockwork restore of a stock phone image?

Thanks...
[Captivate General] labbu63:
do you have usb debugging enabled? if not enable that. also instead of ask on connection do mass storage thats how it has always worked for me
[Captivate General] fivebraids:
Debugging on or off, no difference.

Kies, Media, Storage, PC Internet, Ask, no difference.

But thanks for trying!
[Captivate General] Rhiannon224:
Fivebraids,

Try it on another computer and see if the drivers download. Maybe something hosed your drivers. Kies always hoses mine.

Did you download and install the drivers that are on the OP in the Odin one click thread? Odin is *****y about drivers and sometimes they take a couple of tries.

Also, does the USB work when you just charge from a wall outlet? If it does then your phone is fine, it is a driver issue.

If you have a Nanadroid backup of stock ran through ClockworkMod within ROM Manager than the answer is yes, if you didn't create a Nandroid backup then the answer is no.

update: I just reread your OP and if it works with charging from the wall then you definately have a driver issue.
[Captivate General] fivebraids:
Ok, problem solved!

This no USB problem HAS to be a hardware, since I've tried every possible permutation of drivers, settings, different cables, different computers, etc.

I started this thread hoping that I could somehow restore the phone to stock (removing SRE, SU, etc. so I can return it for a new one) without being able to run ODIN. It appears that isn't possible, but I found a way to do the no-usb restore!

I got a copy of the files created by ROM manager of a stock Captivate. I then used Switfp to FTP these files over Wifi to my non-usb phone. I used Rom manager to 'restore' that set of files. All I had to do then was un-root, and voila...STOCK!

I'm off to AT&T tomorrow to return this second Captivate...hoping three times is a charm!

Thanks to everyone for the patience and assistance!
