I was expecting better performance out of CM 6. however other than yes there are a lot of tweak settings, functionally, there's nothing to gain from nexus one's stock rom. I've seem people say CM has better performance than stock at youtube. but maybe it's just me, I see no differences.

damn where's the google 2.3? still no details on what will be in it.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
I love being able to rotate any direction, the RenderFX widgets, changing the haptic feedback, easy access to useragent switching in the browser, application moving to SD card, trackball wake, status bar changes, etc.

To each his own I suppose.
[Nexus One General] mr.r9:
Do you think you can notice a difference in 2 hours?

Give it at least a week then give it a proper critique. Also, Cyanogen is not 100% new code, it is based on AOSP.
[Nexus One General] gibosn6594:
It does everything stock does and more. What's the logic of going back to stock?
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
For god's sake, at least try the newest nightly before talking...6.0 is old stuff and doesn't even contain the 2.2.1 update...at LEAST 6.1 RC1...

there are NO reasons to go back unless you are just too lazy to pass 1 hour configuring it the first time you install...

[Nexus One General] Brownbay:
I too tried CM 6.1 RC1 and returned to PureFroyo Kernal + Geo's FRG83D within about a day. While I'm not running fully stock, it's very close.

I just found that the bat life on CM was not as good as on the Stock ROM or Geo's FRG83D. For example, with stock, moderate usage from the morning to early afternoon would bring me down to around 80%. With CM, I was down to about 70% in roughly the same amount of time.
[Nexus One General] leo221:
yes. I will try 6.1 final gold.
[Nexus One General] player911:
Honestly, Once you throw Launcher Pro on any rom it pretty much runs the same. The only differences between roms are the small ones.

MIUI has the a different SMS, Unlock Screen, Toggles in the Pull Down Menu, and a few others. I don't like the iPhone approach, nor the menu's.

CM is mostly stock with a lot of tweaks. I really like the Toggles position in the pull down and the ability to add/remove/reposition toggles as well as the ability to change the taskbar colors on the fly. You can add multiple recipients to SMS/MMS messages. The browser options are awesome having them so handy. Built-in Colored Notification Support. Audio Adjustments. etc etc.

One thing I do (since I like a minimalistic install too) is use Launcher Pro and hide some of the nonsense apps I will never use... or set up once and forget/hide.

Geo does have a good rom but the drop down menu toggles and the taskbar themes sold me. Now I can change my taskbar color to match my wallpaper (white, grey, or black usually) and the taskbar toggles save homescreen estate. Quite nice.

I also am getting hella good signal. My work is in a basement. CM 6.1 RC1 is the first rom that I can actually get calls and text messages down there. Normally I get nothing so it is a huge improvement.

Battery life seems improved for me too coming from Geo's, and Rod-MIUI. Normally I take the phone off the charge at 8am and it's dead by 7pm. Now its good all night with 20% left by bedtime.
[Nexus One General] sonnysekhon:
After rooting I jumped on CM6 because of the reviews but I couldn't get the GPS to work to save my life. I tried that fix w/ GPS status to no avail. So I flashed Geo's ROM and never looked back. It is definitely the most stable ROM. And you get great support from Geo, he answers all your questions. He updated to FRG83D within 3 hours of its release!

Are the GPS issues fixed in 6.1 RC1?
[Nexus One General] SamUserInterface:
I used to run CM6 nightlies before switching to MIUI. I miss a lot of features from CM, mostly the CM settings tweaks (limiting rotation to 0 and 90 degrees, integrated trackball settings, hold volume to skip songs, haptic tweaks, and changing the application launched from holding home button); but in the end, I love the new features MIUI brought (namely the notification bar, top-bar battery indicator, lock screen launchers, and vastly improved settings UI). I also find the battery lasts way longer than CM did, even after overclocking (to be fair, I am using a different kernel so I'm sure that helps).
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
Two WHOLE hours? Wow, you must be exhausted from your heavy trials.
[Nexus One General] GutterIsATool:
The trackball wake is enough to sell it on me. The pull down menu controls that were added in 6.1 are just icing. Even if you don't use all the features, there are enough different features where almost anybody can find a few improvements over stock Android in Cyanogen.
[Nexus One General] Frito11:
i've been extremely happy with CM 6.1 RC1, i agree that 6.0 was no faster and maybe in some areas slightly slower than the current stock rom but the extra little features and the freedom to run root apps seals the deal for me anyday but then again i've been running cyanogen roms for a very long time (i was one of the first people with a G1)
[Nexus One General] steve.garon:
The problem with CM6.X is that it ship with a crappy kernel IMHO. If you install wildmonks latest kernel (2.6.35.8_AVS-950mV_CFS_AXI_720p_1152MHz_112010) you'll never see a nexus as fast as this.

After that, you use SetCPU to have screen off profiles and you overclock you phone to the max.

I get easily 10 hours more of battery than stock froyo and and froyo fells like eclair compare to my setup (speed wise)
[Nexus One General] onesavior:
To be honest I didn't like it at first and did what you did, and went back to stock. But then a week later I tried it again and realized it was pretty awesome. I am running stock now just for the 2.3 update but will root again and put cm on there once I get updated...give it more time.
[Nexus One General] player911:
I just upgraded to a nightly from 6.1 RC1. The latest nightly offers a few tweaks making it worth while.

I'm thinking of a Kernel. I actually downloaded 2.6.35.8_AVS-950mV_BFS_AXI_720p_1152MHz_111110b.zip the other day. I see the one listed above uses CFS vs BFS.

Have you tried both? I heard CFS killed the battery compared to BFS.
[Nexus One General] liam.lah:
This kernel is based on cyanogen's kernel, and intersectraven's kernel, which is in turn based on cyanogen's kernel. Do you really believe that the cyanogen kernel is crap?

Do you really believe you are getting an extra 10 hours battery and overclocking the thing to max?.

[Nexus One General] rault18:

Im gonna say that there is no way im going back to stock
[Nexus One General] nexus5894:
Try the 6.1.0 beta, it's got some great features and is very stable.

6.0 was just a stabilised rooted port of FRF83, 6.1 is FRG83 with some extra stuff like a better camera app and settings in the notifications bar.
[Nexus One General] Wiggz:
Whilst I understand that Custom ROMs have many advantages over Stock, I am one of those who prefer Stock Android to most Custom ROMs.

With WinMo I was constantly flashing new ROMs in a quest to get better performance, however I always managed to find new issues and bugs that were not in the Stock ROM that caused me problems.

I also find that is the case with a lot of Custom ROMs. I have tried MIUI and CM and found them to be quite good, but I simply don't use the plethora of additional features CM brings to the table. I instead opted for a deodexed Stock ROM from Geo. That suits me fine...it's basically Stock but with a *couple* of tweaks.

So to summarise, I can totally understand why some people like to fiddle and to get into the minutia of settings CM can enable, as well as some people preferring a vanilla ROM, but I'm somewhere in the middle.
[Nexus One General] codesplice:
That's all well and good, and absolutely understandable and justified. My issue with the OP is that two hours is no amount of time to adequately test a ROM to determine if you will like it. That would be like buying a car after taking a test drive just around the car lot. You simply cannot get a good feel for a ROM (especially in terms of performance and efficiency) with such a short test.

ääh, sorry forgot, what´s this thread about??

:eek:;)
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Here's my reasons for rooting, installing recovery, and ultimately installing a custom rom..

Just rooting stock rom

- Adblock host file/AdFree

- ClockSync

- GScripter

- Remove built-in crap (Amazon MP3)

- Screenshots

- VNC Server

- Titanium Backup

After installing recovery image

- Nandroid

After installing custom rom (Enom)

- Black notification bar

- Trackball Alert

- Move dalvik to /cache or SD (save 120M)

- apps2sd (235M of apps installed now!)

- Wifi Backup using rsync

More I'm sure... Glad I did it myself, wouldn't want to be limited to not doing whatever I want on my phone.

Installing a custom rom is not night-and-day from a stock ROM, most stuff is subtle unless you're installing different themes.
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
btw, random question but which app for taking screenshots do u suggest? I really want a good one (free plz)
[Nexus One General] bcpk:
shootme is free.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] McBain_666:
Edit:

If I would flash a JPO rom over mine, without resetting, would it restore system app without me loading data?

Until this weekend I was on JPM. I loved the phone, very fast, responsive, in one word: RELIABLE.

Then I wanted to go back the "straight" way, and I decided to update to the official JPO with Kies (though not yet availablo for switzerland - SWC). So I flashed JM1, changed product to XEU and unpgraded, hoping to restore everything with Titanium. It was a major pain, but it worked. I did the titanium restore after a wipe data/sd format of course, just in case.

But now my phone is crap!

Many apps FC, I was just able to salvage the mail app. Now the other MAJOR problem is the wireless. It keeps disconnecting, sometimes I have to disable/enable to manage to reconnect to my home AP, other times I have to restart phone.

TL,DR;

Therefor I ask for the following advices:

- Is there a way I could "reset" the wireless module? Or reinstall it?

- I would be willing to start from scratches or reconfigure most of my phone... But is there a RELIABLE tool (meaning, it works at high level, with no risk of messing up things) to backup at least some of my settings?

- Any suggestion on how to wipe and start "almost" over is greatly welcome.

Otherwise one day I`ll give up and start from real scratches.

I`d like to stay on JPO because I do find many improvement in responsiveness.

I also applied z4root and OCLF of course...

THANKS to those who will share a few words of advice.

McBain666
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Intratech:
Next time don't restore system apps and settings just user apps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] McBain_666:
Thanks, that is helpful. I did not think about it. So I could create a new backup with titanium, do a wipe, and restore only user? Or the system applications now are spoiled for good?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Intratech:
Save the backup you have already on your external SDCard. Do a factory reset of the phone and then do a restore of only the user apps and data.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] McBain_666:
Much much better! Thanks a lot, I understood also better how to user titanium.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] liamguest:
IDK if people use this but i use it and it works JUST FINE...

to root my 2.1 xperia x10 mini pro i just went on app market...

typed in "root" into search and scroll down a LITTLE

and this Chinese thingy saying z4root--(Chinese symbols ...) root (more symbols)

came up looked at comments seemed legit, downloaded & installed.

it took about 2 - 3 minutes to root the device once I opened it.

looked like it had froze... but it didn't... just took a while to apply the root.

rooted my device, auto restarted it, and Tada works fine now no hassle

it all kinda happy with it.

Even came with the superuser thingy pre-installed too.

downloaded a over-clocking tool and granted root permissions and works fine.

[[[UPDATES]]]

Downloaded systemapp remover used to uninstall lots of apps

still working fine and faster battery lasts longer because of things I don't use

( this is with the over clocking tool keeping my phone at 600mhz ALL DAY )

Heres is a small list I've been messing around with...

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Johev:
nice work, I have found that there is a English version of the same program and it works very well. Tried it on my wife's U20i with Android 1.6.

Thanks a lot, lets see now if I can upgrade to 2.1 :=)

It took less than 30 seconds and the phone did not freeze at all (maybe 1.6 is easier to root than 2.1)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] GT-R:
good job !!!beneficial
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nate340:
why do you keep your phone on 600mhz?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Johev:
OK, update....

I am not sure that is roots 1.6 (it looked as if it was rooted), but when I tried to open root explorer, I would always get a error saying that it can not access root privileges because of super user. No matter how many times I would reboot the phone or reopen root explorer the same message would always pop up.

Now I have updated to 2.1 (officially with SEUS), and I am trying this tool again.

Hope that this time it will work. So far I am waiting for it to root for 6 minutes. Will post back how much time it took.

Regards to all.

Update:

After 15 min and I was still waiting for the root. I ended up taking out the battery, and doing it again. The device got rooted the 2nd time quite fast (max 2 min), and now I can use root explorer, thus I have finally rooted the phone.

Have fun.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] paul c:
a question about the root... is it full root (s-off)?

I want to install font changer (to get bigger fontsize), and despite my having rooted my phone, and granted su permissions to this app, it tells me it doesn't have permission to write to the system partition, where the fonts are.

I have been trying via adb shell via cmd on the PC, a terminal emulator on the phone, I get the #, but no joy when I try to mount as rw.

Tried mounting each folder on the phone to rw, didn't work either :(

This is with Android 2.1 (I have managed to remove all Vodafone branding, games trials from the phone, so the basic su permissions are there, just not the "FULL ROOT")

Hey,

So I'm interested in overclocking my I9000M, but I wasn't sure if I could flash a I9000 kernel onto my phone (how much difference does that "M" make?)

If anyone could link me to a good kernel for overclocking my I9000M, and maybe a quick how-to, I would very much so appreciate it. Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i3Elec:
SetCPU is an app (which requires root) that allows you to control the speed your CPU operates at.

I highly recommend not flashing any version of Froyo. There has been countless problems with unofficial versions of Froyo with the i9000M which render the phone useless.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upichie:
Thanks for the Froyo advice! I'm aware that SetCPU lets you tweak the speeds that your CPU runs at, but I was under the impression that I needed to flash a different kernel to allow SetCPU to go over 1ghz—was this an incorrect assumption? Can I simply install SetCPU and overclock my phone?

Either way, I'd prefer to use an optimized OC/UV kernel, so could anyone answer my original question: can I use i9000 kernels on my i9000m?
[General Topics] babblerx:
I'll get this off my chest straight away...HTC Customer Service is THE WORST I've ever received....EVER!

I'm in the UK and sent my phone, which is less than 4 months old) to HTC in the retail box with the battery and proof of purchase (as specified in their instructions) to have the external speaker repaired. They arranged pick up via UPS.

6 weeks and literally 2 or 3 calls to HTC Customer Service a day for the last 2 weeks (and numerous false promises from HTC themselves), I finally get a replacement (not new but refurbished) phone....wrapped in bubble wrap, in a plastic envelope without the retail box and NO BATTERY!!

After yet another shouting match with C.S. they agree to send a battery, but not retail box and no further offer of warranty on the refurb phone.

I am taking the matter to trading standards, have written an official letter of complaint to HTC and have also emailed BBC's Watchdog.

My question is, if has anyone else received a similar level of abysmal customer service from HTC in the UK, can you please contact me? The more complaints we can muster the better.

I'll let you know what response I get from HTC (though don't hold your breath).

Cheers,

Rich
[HTC Excalibur] zackwz:
I've had this phone for about 2 years i think (is there a way to tell the exact days?). It was working fine until about a couple of weeks ago. It starts to randomly turned off by itself. I would call somebody or pick up a call and using text message and it would just turn off by itself. But when ac adapter is plugged in, no problem at all. Not sure if it's the battery or something else.
