Alright, so now I odined back to stock. Installed Bubby's AOSP. it seems to be working well. One thing that confuses me is that before with birdman's kernel setcpu gave me the option for 1100mhz. Now it only goes up to 1000. I had the bln and voodoo color, and the option for 1100. Something must have gone wrong somewhere, causing my phone to freeze up randomly. So, the question is... Is this kernel really overclocked at all?
[Fascinate Android Development] Domush:
Bump for an update. Been test20 for a while now..
[Fascinate Android Development] DUNC4N:
Nothing to see here...lol
[Fascinate Android Development] activesack:
I had to uninstall this. I also had the wi-fi issue.

Additionally, I also had problems using Map as my live wallpaper.

Went back to stock kernal and everything was back to normal.

It did run smoothly, so I'm definitely going to miss that. :(
[Fascinate Android Development] mattstakilla:
correct me if I'm wrong but to the person who asked if they could remove the disable_voodoo file to get voodoo running again

isn't voodoo off the phone seeing as you installed this new kernal?

removing that file should do no more than add kb's of memory to your sd card?

still a noob over here with all this kernel and rom talk. and amen to doing research. I don't know how many times I have read and reread all the stickies(and posts to follow) to ensure I dont run into mistakes. I would love to learn more about android and developing for it(not looking for links to learn, looking for the time!)

... I'm on the fence about this. I get where your coming from, but our social mentality is "get ours and not worry about others" and this is how we are brought up. Verizon will screw us just as fast as we screw them... But, if it can be fixed, I think you should take your time to fix it, It's good to get the experience under your belt, as well. Verizon may not be there to piggy back you in the future.
[Fascinate Android Development] Daswolven:
Has nothing to do with Verizon. Every phone that gets RMAd to Samsung increases the likelihood that the next one they roll out is locked down harder. There's talk of someone releasing a model with a separate chip that re-flashes stock if anything is changed. Manufacturers don't produce the phones for free, and what we do is blatantly against any warranty or insurance TOS out there. Shipping them back instead of putting in the sweat and eye strain to fix it will make things harder down the road.

There was a lot of talk about the Nexus shipping with an unlocked bootloader, and an HTC rep on the boards discussing this. Google basically didn't care, and agreed to cover the returned devices to support development. This was never officially said, but the result was a one adb command step. Contrast this against the position Motorola took after they dealt with the Droid returns, and what they did with the X.

When you decide to root, you are accepting the responsibility for what happens. If you're not willing to accept that, which apparently not many are, then don't ***** when your next device is completely locked down.
[Fascinate Android Development] Daswolven:
You will need to follow These Instructions to completely remove Voodoo. Simply flashing a new kernel doesn't revert everything.

[Vibrant General] ags29:
As you can see in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=812747 it seems like the use of task killers is a touchy subject for many people, and something they really try to convince others that they are right about doing or not doing. I was simply testifying that I found a benefit from using it, contrary to the many people who don't because of all the advisories out there not to or because they simply find no benefit. In response, many people admitted they were also using one, only to be flamed by other members who think that it is completely unnecessary and defeats the purpose of android in some aspects.

So without having to justify your own reason for using or not using a task manager or task killer, I'm simply curious to know how many people do use one and how many don't because from that previous thread there seems to be a good number of people on both sides of the argument. Thanks for participating.

I had been since I got the phone. But I removed the atk from the market today. Thought I would try going without it for a while and see how it goes.
[Vibrant General] Fuskand:
Since I got an N1, I never needed to use a task killer. I say today's phones are more than good enough to handle multi-tasking easily. Also, using task killers on Android = bad news bears.
[Vibrant General] freddyraptor22:
hmmmn

i do use it, im not sure tht its good for the phone. Well i usually dont close apps i just kill them at one time, although im not into linux so i hav to ask some techy guy tht is it worthy??

[Vibrant General] ags29:
Wow.. see how evenly split this is.. amazing!
[Vibrant General] Master™:

[Vibrant General] nearblack:

[Vibrant General] bdjnk:
I've got a basic one that I use for various testing purposes only. No point in micro managing a perfectly efficient system.
[Vibrant General] nearblack:
no I meant autokill. it kills apps which just restart, which will cut battery life.
[Vibrant General] gravis86:
Exactly! Android is pretty good about closing apps itself but if you feel you need something extra, there's already one built-in.
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
You should apply for a job at the Discovery Institute.
[Vibrant General] thenewak:
Yes but only when there is a ton of apps still open and its the stock one that came with the odin update to JI6 so no autokiller. not always needed but sometimes nessasary

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kingsley721:
I have probably 90% of all the ROMS in the ROM Bible saved on my SD card/computer. I flash ROMS pretty much daily, because I really can't find anything stable enough to be a daily driver.

Whats the deal? I wipe caches, ext partition, everything between every flash. I feel like somethings wrong.

I usually run back to SuperE which is the most stable I've found, but I'm still yanking my battery out twice an hour.

I absolutely love my G1, but I hate how I have ALL this customization, you know?

When I can't even make a phone call, or text throughout the day, or my contacts aren't synced yet, it makes me pretty angry.

Help?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BadMice:
Hi, maybe a bit topic hijacking... but i was wondering.

You've mentioned you've tested 90% of all roms, the only version you can recommend is superE but this lacks some key features?

So ... does that meen default 1.6 would be best?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kingsley721:
The only reason I like eclair ROMs better is because of the option to overclock to 576+ with their kernels.

If it were possible (:confused:) to OC to 576 I'd probably be using

CaNNoN202 Complete Eclairs ROM with that kernel.

But anyways.. maybe someone can help with my question?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnson8cyl:
Enomther has a great aosp 1.6 rom and i believe he is working on overclocking the kernel right now. U might keep up with that. Also has tethering and some extra vsapps u can grab with the rom. Good battery life and everything.

Earlier this week my phone would not fall asleep so I did a clean wipe, and installed Fresh 3.3.0.1. Now whenever I turn on the 4g radio it just stays at the "turning on" state and will eventually go to the "Unable to start 4g" state or just "failed".

Did the latest radio update but it still looks SOL.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilotdude22:
I'm terribly sorry to ask this, as it probably has been answered previously, but I've looked all over the internet on how to back up my Captivate, with no success. So I dreadfully ask, how do I back up my data so I can upgrade to JI6 afterward? :confused:

Thank you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo_31591:
lol...just 5 mins back i was searching for the same thing and i rooted to cognition 2.2beta7........well u must be rooted....u can backup everything by titanum backup(go to backup/restore and there u can backup all/selected stuff)....also download rom manager and then click on flash clockwordmod......
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdanko:
Root your device.

Install ClockworkMod, then go into CWM and download the recovery ROM for your device.

Click back up current ROM.

Be aware, both of you, that CWM is currently unable to extract boot.img so if you upgrade from Eclair to the leaked Froyo, you will need Windows/Odin to restore your device. Make sure you have in your hand Odin AND the correct Captivate factory Eclair image before you attempt to upgrade to the leaked Froyo.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo_31591:
oh!!!

well i do have the odin by the name -- I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 -- with me??is this what i should be having???

also since now i am on cog2.2beta7, i tried restoring through titanium but i cant seem to find my backups!!!! also when i mounted the sd card it shows the clockworkmod folder to be of 454mb....it has a backup folder with a few stuff in it.....

so if i have to restore ill have to use odin or cant i just boot into clockword recovery an do a backup???

sorry am still a noob!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
You will need Odin that you have to flash back to stock JF6. If you want to use your backup from Clockwork of your current setup you must be running 2.2 with the 2e kernel. Clockwork backs up your ROM not your kernel.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tenacious--M:
Sorry if this is a repeat, im very new to Android and a little confused on backups.

I rooted and then did this after downloading clockwork/rom manager:

How to Install ClockWork Recovery:

1. On the menu there should be an option labeled “FLASH CLOCKWORK RECOVERY.”

Press it.

2. Once a popup says that it has been succesful press “BACKUP CURRENT ROM”

3. Your phone will now restart and backup your ROM

4. If your phone does not start backing up and instead boots into a blue menu use the volume

keys to select reboot now and then press the power button. Try to do all the steps again.

5. Wait for it to finish and then it should restart.

Is this considered a Nandroid backup? Is there anything else I need to do as far as backups or is this the best method?

This will allow me to go back to my stock Rom at any point , is that correct?

Then I should use Titanium Backup for data/apps/settings?
[Nexus One Accessories] JWhipple:
After having spent 48 hours with my damned near MINT Nexus One that I just bought, I finally found something wrong with it - the clean plastic lens cover in the battery door has a slice through it! No wonder why my pictures were blurry!

Does anyone know where I can get just the lens cover part without having to shell out $30/$40 on Ebay for a replacement door?

Thanks so much!

[Droid X General] RLM703:
Hi everyone,

I picked up a Droid X a few days ago and I have been looking into modifying it ever since. So far I have successfully Rooted, De-Odex'd, and installed custom themes. Being new to the android platform, it has taken some time to learn and there is still more to know. I have started to piece together a guide and I am looking for some input from the community to correct/add/remove tips/tricks/tools/etc as needed.

Please take the time to review and let me know what you thoughts are. Let me know what you encountered when trying to do a specific task. For us n00b's out there, let me know what you were unsure of and how you resolved the issue. My goal is to make one source for the Droid X that gets rid of most confusion.

Look forward to your input.

Thanks!

Update 10/26/2010: Guide Complete, still open for suggestions, just PM me.

Updated attached guide and also posted to wiki.

Thanks in advance
[Droid X General] RLM703:
Guide is a bit out dated. A much easier root method is z4root. apk and support page below:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833953

1. Download .apk, copy to SD card.

2. Enable "Unknown sources" (Settings => Applications => check "Unknown sources"

3. Use file manager to navigate to file on SD card, install. I recommend rebooting before install and again after install, prior to running root command from within z4root. <= may help the process run smoother.

4. Open z4root, tap Permanent Root, let it run, once complete your device should restart and you would then be rooted.

Next step, installing ROM's. Many great ROM's out there, I highly recommend Liberty.

I'm sure this has been covered somewhere but I can not find, for this I am sorry. I am running Fresh V3.2, and although his default incoming call screen is better than stock, I still would prefer one of my choosing. Can someone guide me in the right direction on how to this? To be clear, what I want to do is change the picture that pops up and stays on during the call with the number on an incoming call. Obviously this is only for people who are not in my contacts as I can assign any picture I want to a contact. Much love to the anyone who can steer me the right way. Again I'm sure this has been covered but have spent two days now, and can not find it. Even used the search button!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JTNiggle:

k, looks like the default contact photo for the in call screen is in the Phone.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\phone_default.png Well, in Vaelpak anyway, but I'm relatively certain all the current stock based roms use the same. Now what to replace it with. Do you have something in mind? If you can post up the pic or graphic you want, I can put it in the apk for ya.

Next will be to find the default contact picture for the Contacts and Dialer, that blank faced icon is bothering me now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcampos7:
Ha, as I expected that is something I would never have found. Now that I know what I'm looking for I should be able to make it work with a little more research. And actually the picture I have in mind is a picture of a '67 Shelby GT 500 (Eleanor), but it's a particular pic of that car. I will have to find it again, after work I will get looking for it, and post it. You've answered my question though, thankya much.

I used the unrevoked method to root the phone:

http://unrevoked.com/recovery/

Do i need to do something beyond that in order to load on a custom rom?

I used the clockworkmod to make a backup of the phone. If i load up a custom rom and decide i don't like it, will the clockworkmod remain on the phone or will the custom rom possibly replace it? If so, how do i restore the backup?

And lastly - how do i actually go about installing another rom? I wanted to try the Fresh rom. I looked at the thread on here for it but i didn't see any directions as to how to go about actually installing it.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
once you have done unrevoked you should be good to flash roms youc an verify this by looking in the bootloader to see if it shows S off at the top.

To flash a rom first download what ever rom you want and place it on your sd card. boot to recovery and wipe dalvik, data and cache. then select install zip from sd. navigate to the rom and select it and you should flash the new rom. go back and select reboot phone. it will boot up and will take longer then it normally does while it does its magic and you should then boot to the new rom.

Clockwork will not be changed by the rom so no worries there and you can easily restore it by going to the same option you did to make the back up you should see restore. select the back upa nd poof your on your way.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merkk:
Thanks a lot for the info omega. It does indeed show S-OFF at the top of the boot loader screen.

So just to be clear:

i go into the boot menu, go into recovery, select

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

advanced - wipe dalvik

and then do install zip from sdcard (after i've uploaded the rom zip file)

oh and one last question - if i want to restore it to what i have now, do i just use clockwork to restore the backup i made? or do i have to flash the original rom on there first?

Thanks again for the info

I have a raph 101 (at&t fuze) running the latest kernel and latest xdandroid build. I have a femtocell (at&t microcell) and I don't think I've ever been able to receive data (been testing android for a few months now), however, my upload seems to be fine.

If I disconnect the femtocell and connect to the crappy service in my area I can get full speed upload/download.

So what I'm wondering is if anyone else is running a femtocell and if they are also having trouble with their down-side connection. I dont think its a network issue as I have tried everything from opening ports in my firewall to adding the femtocell to my dmz.

Suggestions welcome... :)

PS: Windows mobile can reach the internet and has perfect upload/download speeds.

Both os's automatically connect as the femtocell becomes the strongest signal and so the radio just does the standard tower handoff.
