Agree, wholeheartedly! I've been rooted since July, and have learned a lot using this forum. It's great to be able to change the boot logo screen, boot animations, etc. You can also improve battery life, increase speed, etc. After root, it's like having a new phone, and you have a greater sense of control over your device each time you learn something new. Have fun!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
I highly reccommend downloading Titanium and running a batch back up of all your apps and data. When you flash a new rom you can download Titanium again and restore your apps and settings (saves a lot of time if you become a flashaholic). Also grab Root Explorer. It's an app that allows you to access your sd card and your rom system. Wana change your boot animation? Save the file to your sd, open Root Explorer, copy it from the sd to data/local and reboot. Same goes for stock apps. Locate them and delete. Another valuable app is a terminal emulator. Open it up, type SU to obtain superuser permission, then a2sd check. This will tell you if a2sd is functioning correctly. Type a2sd help for a list of commands to use if it's not working.

Always Nand back up and you can flash any rom you want, play with it, screw it up, who cares....nand restore and you're back to point A. I highly reccommend trying a few Froyo roms. You'll need to partition your sd back to all fat32 or it wont recognize it. Froyo is faster than 2.1 and has a stock (somewhat different) a2sd. KaosLegendary is the only current Froyo rom with sense but it's fun to play with. WARNING - many users have bricked their phones using Clockwork. Some people love it but I'm afraid of it.

If you haven't already, try ADW or Launcher Pro. Once you decide you hate one and love the other (this will happen), you wont even miss sense.

Also download Metamorph and Busybox. You'll need these to theme your rom of choice (unless you find a flashable theme).

Now, put your phone down, get back to work, and for God's sake tell your wife you love her. You haven't even talked to her in weeks!! :p
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KarateExplosion6:
Great post! +1 on Titantium Backup and Root Explorer--I use both.

Just a note: With Titanium Backup, I recommend scheduling it to backup both Apps + System Data and syncing it with Dropbox. This way, if something should happen, like your SD Card becomes corrupt and you can't Nand Restore, you'll be able to reflash your current ROM and Restore all Apps + System Data, since you're having a scheduled backup taken and stored in your Dropbox folder as well.

Having said that, when flashing a NEW ROM or UPGRADING, remember to Restore "Apps + Data" but NOT to do the "Restore Apps + System Data." This will ensure that if the developer of your ROM has changed any system files, they won't be messed up. Sure, it'll take you 10-15 minutes to get your ROM the way you want (e.g. Home Screens, Systems Sounds, Notifications, etc.) but it's worth it to know that everything will work properly. Since your applications and their set up have nothing to do with the ROM, you can rest easily knowing that at least they'll come back configured as you left them for the most part.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] workshed:
Perfectly explained, nice job sir. This should be in the rollup!! Too many people make the mistake of restoring sys data from a older rom to newer, have to watch that. Rollup ;)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsuh:
My article at http://jonsuh.com/2010/09/make-your-droid-eris-faster-smoother-and-increase-battery-life-how-to/ will give you a whole mess of ideas of what you can do post-root. Hope this article helps!

Remember, these are just my suggestions, they are not necessarily the law. Some may disagree with my suggestions, some may work well for you, other may not as well as one may think. They are just pointers to get you in the right direction :)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckfalls:
Ah, the tapping!! That did it. Also messed around (again) with titanium to get it to work, fig'd that out as well. Rookie mistakes...

Yes you're right C2C is default, I guess I'm just not certain if it's working. Apparently, there are two blocks on internal storage being used for apps in 4.2: /data/ and /cache/. I have 56mb free according to internal memory settings (/data/??) and 87.7 of 130mb used in /cache/ according to the report setting gscript Zach made. According to AppBrain I currently have 33 apps installed. 33 apps, ~100mb used already? Average of 3mb per app?? That just didn't seem right to me...maybe I'm just plain wrong. Opinions welcome!!

I may try that, although in full disclosure, my main reason for rooting and OC'ing was for running game console emulators. They run SO much better since OC'ing. I did try Zach's max out of the box (710 max?), but I find that my SetCPU main setting of 768,528 during normal usage makes operation even more smooth and especially works best when emulating. I want to OC even when battery is lowering until it gets to the condition threshold i set in SetCPU (amount or temp). But I still may try his scripts and lose SetCPU, thanks for the idea.

So here's my questions with this: Don't apps like MetaMorph and Launcher run on top of everything that the ROM already has going on, thus adding another cumbersome running process to the already limited hardware? Wouldn't running this be akin to having two GUI's on the phone, or am I looking at this the wrong way? I'm assuming that's why you recommend switching to the more vanilla xtrROM, but maybe I'm off.

I also do badly want to try some additional ROM's once I have the time. The leaked Froyo with Sense ROM does sound intriguing and I may pursue that next.

Thanks for all the help, really appreciate the replies!

Will go the Q&A route next time too, thanks.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckfalls:
Great thank you both! I will take both of these posts into account when using Titanium before I go further down the ROM rabbit hole.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zabalba:
Is it possible for an app to monitor and benchmark battery performance against a wide range on factors including usage and ultimately come up with a score based on the Kernal/Rom etc?

Does anything like that already exist?

If not it would be a great idea to come up with general scores to see which combination would provide the best battery life.

What do you guys think?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdawgn8:
No app like that exists; however, skydeaner put a lot of work into getting a working list of kernel performance (which is the leading contributor to battery life). Check it out, it's very useful.

I have a tmo Vibrant. For some reason the in call volume (the volume at which I hear the person that calls me talking) keeps getting reset to zero. I find that when I answer, I often (not always) have to turn the volume back up and say "can you repeat that?".

I am using Vibrant9, but I had the problem with the stock ROM as well. Does anyone else have this problem? Any idea what is causing the volume to reset?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RedKrieg:
Do you use the volume keys to turn down the media volume? I've noticed that the voice call volume level seems to be affected by the media volume. I would love to see these separated.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
Lol I doubt its plastic
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smjfosho:
Yea I really don't think its plastic.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elusivebyte:
I'm pretty sure it's plastic. It's quite hard, but still, I think it's plastic. If it were glass, I don't think they would cut a hole in the edge for the speaker to peek out from. That edge around the speaker is also beveled. Again, something I doubt they would do to a glass screen.

Also, glass is very good for holding an anti-glare coating. The Vibrant's glass screen had one. (Ever notice how glare reflections were colored blue?) That's an extremely thin metallic salt coating on the glass (Magnesium Flouride is a popular coating). As far as I know, it's easy to do on glass, but harder on plastic, and is usually reserved for eye glasses. (And may even be a different technology then.) If it were glass, I think they would have used an anti-glare coating. Then again, HTC could just be shaving off pennies by not using an anti-glare coating. But I sill think it's plastic.

I'm just guessing. I'm no expert.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
Thes screens on just about all phones are neither plastic nor glass, it's a combination of materials.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xile6:
Plastic kinda like lcd tvs. I use to have a plasma an i loved the glass on it but glass cracks plastic takes alot before it does anything.

Either way its a nice screen to me and i bet we wont have the screen cracking problem like the nexus ones. Also always use a screen protector its just smart your always have new screen under the protector if the protector gets scratched just replace it. Better then getting another screen.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user1307:
Of course I don't know how credible this is since I couldn't find any mention of it in the references.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
Wikipedia should never be used for definitive reference.

All of these screens are "glass", because they are silica based.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jashsu:
Glass. Look up some capacitive TS or mobile phone coverglass spec sheets.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elusivebyte:
Turn off the screen and look at some glare. You can see wavy inperfections. Glass would have this. It also doesn't feel as hard as glass when I try to scratch it with my fingernail on the edge near the speaker.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bitbang3r:
Is there any way to configure SetCPU so it normally runs with the 'conservative' governor (the only one the Epic 4G apparently supports right now), but instantly kicks the CPU up to max and keeps it there whenever a soft keyboard (specifically, Graffiti) is active?

For anybody who's never tried it, Graffiti's accuracy is nearly perfect when the phone is in 'Performance' mode... and, er, a bit more... um... "variable and inconsistent" when it's not. The thing is, my battery life is getting totally nuked by keeping the phone in performance mode all the time.

For me, at least, kicking it to 100% whenever any soft input area is active (without worrying whether it's Graffiti or some other one) is more than good enough.

Failing that, is there a setting that translates to "Performance profile when the screen is on, Conservative profile when the screen is off" so it's at least not running full-bore when the phone is just sitting in my pocket or idle and dark on my desk?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evancg:
I've searched for answers to these questions and I'm sure they exist but with how busy this forum is, it's tough to find answers. Sorry if these have been asked and answered. AT&T at my house has become nearly unusable at times so I'm considering trying Sprint. Having a Captivate and an unusable GPS (and no interest in a physical keyboard) I'm leaning towards the EVO.

1. How easy is it to brick or break the EVO? I'm pretty careful but the Captivate is nearly unbrickable. Just wondering how much more careful I need to be.

2. Is it easy (possible?) to fully restore the EVO back to stock everything, unrooted, if I decide to return it or have to do a warranty exchange?

3. I know it's a long shot but any former Captivate owners (or perhaps Epic owners) that can offer a comparison of battery life?

4. How long does it take to fully charge from 10% battery remaining? I know that sounds like a silly question but one thing I (and others have noticed) regarding the Galaxy S phones is they take a really long time to charge. The battery life isn't great, so I feel like I'm always trying to plug my phone in because it's slow to charge but fast to drain.

5. Not EVO specific, but as many of you may have switched from a previous Android phone to an EVO, does Titanium Backup move from one device to another? In other words, if I move my titaniumbackup folder from my Captivate running Froyo to an EVO running a custom ROM (say, Fresh), would it restore apps and data (NOT system data necessarily) correctly? Captivate is my first Android phone so I've never tried...
