Thanks

Thanks mxcoldhit, I'm now running my 1st rom, Nebula, so far so good.

A few notes from my experience:

From my previous clockwork back up, restored that, installed titanium, backed up my most used apps & info, exported my contact info from the contacts app.

Went ahead and wiped 3 times, loaded my rom, installed titanium, restored all my apps and info that I've had since day one.

Things of note to noobs like me, clockwork is awesome, back ups seem to work like ghost images, whole frozen snapshots of the os with all data & apps.

Titanium and clockwork both store the backup data on your micro-sd card.

So you can play with different setups and if you want to go back, just restore the back up file, they don't get wiped when you wipe the phone.

Titanium works in much the same fashion, install it on your system and you can make back ups of apps and phone data, when you load a new rom, just go ahead and install Titanium if it's not already there, and you can restore your favorite apps and data.

One thing that confused me before realizing what i was doing wrong, was that after I flashed the custom rom, I restored my backup thinking that it would just add my data and apps back, well it does that and the os also, so just keep that in mind.

Testing out what was discussed in the Town Hall Meeting.

A couple review guidelines:

Make sure to mention in your review if you are running the ROM with any mods or lagfixes.

"This ROM rulez" or "this ROM suckz" is not a good review. Please explain specifically what it is that you like about this ROM and what it is that you don't like.

Screenshots are always appreciated.

Everyone has different needs for a ROM and people's needs are unique to how they use their phone. What is a dealbreaker for one person may not be for another person. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and flaming them for it is NOT OK.

Not liking a ROM is not grounds for personal remarks against the devs.
[Vibrant General] Zylograth:
I ran this ROM for about 14 hours before restoring to JI6. It was nice and fast. Everything seemed to be working correctly. Still did not have stock android keyboard by default so I had to add that in, of course the haptic feedback on that did not work.

Tried some MMS tests and they seemed to come in blurry. I don't think this is so much ROM issue but more so an issue where T-Mobile MMS servers do not recognize the build so they send the pic to me in a lower res in order to make sure I get it. Once the ROM build can be recognized by the MMS servers the pics should come in with the correct resolution.

GPS, Wifi, and 3G all worked great. GPS I first ran Samsung GPS Restore and then tested with several GPS apps. Got 12/12 satellites in under 5 seconds. Accuracy was down to 10 feet.

All in all a good stock ROM, did not see any of the Rescue apps that showed up in previous leaks, I would not be surprised if this ended up being released as official.
[Vibrant General] samyvibrantuser:
I had T959UVJK6 - Stock and took the JL4 stock and Odin and its running now. i found the Market is updated. I did not check Maps or GPS yet and no wipe or anything of that sort just clean and simple.
[Vibrant General] YatimaMeiji:
You dont need any of the 2.2 leaks for the new market. I'm still running stock and it eventually popped up on my vibrant.
[Vibrant General] ozmulti:
All of my previous roms had been taking an inordinate amount of battery during phonecalls. I chalked it up to the antenna signal being weak and having to work extra to get signal.

So i began comparing with other android handsets and try enough their signal strength (dBm) would always be better than mine.

Now, with this rom, the signal strength is beyond fantastic. At least in terms of the number. It hardly goes above 84 dBm while in previous roms. A 86 dBm would be the best i ever got, and even that would be for limited periods of time. It would hover around much larget values which are bad.

Other than that, the ROM has much to much bloat which is eating up CPU cycles. But it has the 3E recovery so i cant boot it. And i cant figure out how to do the fix (even though i do know that there is a a thread for that)

So i am waiting for an odin rom which is rooted and Deodexed and hopefully bloatware free. Otherwise it is a brilliant rom. (oh, btw, no stock andorid keyboard as well.)
[Vibrant General] Wcfinest688:
hey guys, dont know if this works for everyone, but i flashed from stok ji6 to jl4 using odin and everything was fine except the error msg i got for mms "error in server response". a tmo rep actualy helped me and he fixed it. if your problem is the same, go to the camera, slide the menu from the side, hit settings, go to resolution, change it to 3.2mp, take a pic and send. it should work and then you can change it back to 5mp. thought id share since thats the only problem i had so it seems great now
[Vibrant General] ljv:
JL4 has been working great for me. It finally pushed me over the JI6 hump. I used Titanium to freeze most of the bloatware. The writing to internal/external SD is fixed. With the previous fix, I could write to one or the other but not both. My "own number" shows up which in my case was needed for my Verizon FiOS Remote DVR app to work.

Regarding the blurry MMS issues, I've never had it. But then again, I strictly use Handcent.

Battery life, I don't know about yet since I haven't run a specific build for more than 24 hours. Been going flash crazy trying everything out.

Oh wait... I did notice one minor issue that hasn't happened every single time. Sometimes after unplugging the micro USB cable, status bar still shows connected.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Yea, I was in the market, made a mistake and closed it. Opened it again and the new one was there.

It force closes way too much for me. At least 10 times a day the damn thing force closes on me (I'm desperately trying to find useful apps for my phone, so I'm in it a lot lately).
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Stock JL4

Running it since it became available. I love it, not very different from stock JK6.

Pros:

No force closes yet.

No noticable problems

Flash working fine

Quadrant cpu score slight boost form JI6

Wifi calling

Better battery life than JI6, and same as Jk6.

I have always liked Touchwiz

Cons:

-When running touchwiz, widgets still cause a slight lag when scrolling through the 7 homescreens. This is just touchwiz, and has always been like that.

-The new JL4 modem in my opinion doesn't offer a strong 3G signal like JK6 did.

-I can't turn off geotagging in camera mode :(
[Vibrant General] ljv:
That's something I just noticed. Signal bar wise, seems to flucuate like the original JFD in 2.1 and doesn't stay as full bars as much. But, speed wise, it seems okay. I don't really care what the bars say anymore as long as I can hold a 3g connection.

-- Edit --

Just flashed JK6 modem and it does seem to be more consistent then JL4 for me. Also applied Voodoo Lag fix to it and it's screaming fast to my eyes now.
[Vibrant General] gatesmarch123:
I'm really impressed with this rom. Very snappy out of the box, signal strength is amazingly improved for me! Very noticeable improvement.

Update: GPS is much improved...saw 14 birds and locked on 12 in 7 seconds. This is a huge jump from any previous rom I've used.
[Vibrant General] Keslynn:
*thumbs up*

Performance was good on its own (no lagfix). There was very minor lag when an app installed in the background, loading the app drawer sometimes, and the new Market (which was a more noticeable lag). Still, it was nothing compared to stock Eclair. There was also no real wakeup lag to speak of. Pretty snappy for a stock build. I just Voodoo-ed it up anyway because it makes it that much more smooth and fast. With Voodoo, apps load faster, including the new Market.

Modem is working out well so far. According to my signal widget, I'm getting H speeds in my home, though I don't think this build has an H indicator in the Notification Bar.

GPS locked on quickly with no problems. My problem was never locking. I was always losing the lock and never regaining it during navigation so I will update after I use it for an actual trip.

Update: GPS stayed locked during the whole trip. I am impressed. I should also note that I ran Samsung's GPSRestore app before using the phone for Navigation and that this is the updated version of Maps.

Since this is a stock build, it came with all the T-Mo bloatware, which I uninstalled with Ti Backup. If you like WiFi calling, this would be a good choice for you. Note of warning: if you uninstall WiFi calling with Ti Backup, it will keep FCing so you will have to force reboot by holding down the power button for 10 seconds. It's fine after that.

My battery life has been bad since a couple of builds ago so I can't really accurately comment on how it is. I can edit after a recalibration.

Overall: stable, fairly fast and with no glaring problems to speak of. If you like stock, grab this ROM.
[Vibrant General] ljv:
I just noticed I'm not getting voicemail notifications. Anyone else notice?
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
Did you set up Visual Voicemail?
[Vibrant General] ljv:
No I didn't as I don't use visual voicemail. Br1cK'd suggested the following which I totally forgot about since I've seen this before.

"Did you set your voicemail carrier to your service provider? This is set under settings, call settings, voicemail. I noticed in the newest ginger clone which is jl4based that google voice is a voicemail option in that menu, I haven't noticed that in any other previous roms/frameworks, and wonder if that may affect your notifications."

Unfortunately, I already went back to JI6 and once again flashing back to JL4 to try it out.
[Vibrant General] Shrivel:
I had never noticed that option that exists in stock JL4 as well. Thanks for that.
[Vibrant General] Ravynmagi:
I get "This bookmark cannot be deleted" when trying to remove any of the stock web bookmarks.

Is there anyway to remove these?
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
install a 3rd party browser to delete bookmarks.
[Vibrant General] Ravynmagi:
Not sure how to delete the default web browser's book marks with a third party browser. When I install Dolphin, I don't see these bookmarks.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
use skyfire. it's just like a stock browser.
[Vibrant General] Scoobyracing03:
overall a good build. I did start having MMS issues again just can't send them. hoping I can figure it out with some assistance. data doesn't seem to be as good as JL1 but still seems better than JK6. GPS works pretty good some minor hick-ups last night when I tested it.
[Wildfire General] rmittal:
I today updated Google Maps to version 5.0 from version 4.7. However after that update Google stopped syncing Google services like Mail, Contact etc. Pressing the sync button seems to do nothing.

I then went to applications settings and deleted cache etc for both Gmail & Mail storage. Then trying to sync gave a message that it was syncing but nothing happened. Even gtalk would just close on starting. I rebooted the phone to check if the problem goes away but it didn't help.

Finally I went to applications settings and deleted Maps update which went to stock version 4.1. and then finally rebooted my phone and voila sync started to work again.

So anybody can confirm this problem on Wildfire.
[Wildfire General] rmittal:
I think the problem is not with the update but running low on internal memory. When my memory is low and low memory alert shows on the statusbar syncing of google services stops.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightinbangkok:
Hello xda-developer community,

I have multiple questions, so please forgive me, that i put them all in this Thread :rolleyes:

Okay my first Questions would be:

Is there browser-flash intigrated?

Can i play Flash Videos from various sites with it, for example myvideo/break etc without a app?

Second Question is:

Can i use this mobile device without a Contract which has Wireless Plan?

Note: I'm using the Internet when I really need to, so i don't have a contract which covers Data, this means I cant let the Internet run 24/7.

Third Question is:

Does the Alarm Clock work, is there even one? :)

I'm truly sorry for my nuubishness, on every page i visited people said different thing, just need this to clear out everything i need to know.

Yours Truly

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
Hey, welcome to XDA:D

There is but its not perfect. Its called Uzard and you'll be able to find by searching xda, I think its in the themes and apps section.

If you want to view a lot of flash content then Id reccomend running an android build from your sd card. Its a lot better for flash.

You can, however.......... You will need to install a program to automatically disconnect the data connection after use. I would recommend "WM Long life" or "Touch Tools". You can find them over in themes and apps....

You might want to disable things like automatic weather updating and HTC Peep or at least set them to only update every now and then......

For me, no it doesnt. Not reliably anyway......

For 97.5% of people the alarm function works fine. There are other apps out there like "klaxon" or G-Alarm" if you need them.

Hope thats helped........... :D
[Nexus S General] azzeh3:
If your hating this phone.

DONT BUY IT lol
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
i agree,

the phone has been released so these threads really shoudlnt be about people telling us how much crap they think the phone is
[Nexus S General] azn2050:
My only question is...

did the nexus ONE get the same amount of criticism
[Nexus S General] :
All the people that say the phone is crap, dont own it... lollol

How can you make an informed decision on just speculation, there are many factors that makes a phone great, not just massive leaps in tech... This phone IS a great piece of kit NO DOUBT!

JD:D
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
People need to prioritize, they critisize it because it does not have a dual core CPU but really what good is that going to do, its a phone. It isnt like any Android app is that CPU intensive.

no HD video, doesnt matter either, HD video on phones still isnt anywhere comparable to a HD video camera. the resolution may be there but the quality isnt.

I for one rather take on time and priority Android updates over anything else.

I do like this phone, and glad i sold my N1 before the market for N1's shot down.
[Nexus S General] D_Rob:
Damn you!!!!! Lol, I just bit the bullet on eBay on my N1, and yes, prices are lower, I took $50 less than I would've a week ago.

And criticizing something they dont own is the same thing people did with the G2, then people found out it was a really great device. It doesn't help companies or end users when people prematurely "bastardize" a device.
[Nexus S General] azzeh3:
Thats a good question lol see I used to not read forums back then but im sure they would have deterred me from getting a Nexus One, which turned out to be the best phone I ever owned SECOND to my Nexus S!!
[Nexus S General] azn2050:
I got the Nexus one when it first came out... read the forums briefly... but I only remember people complaining about battery issues... like it would die with so-so hours.

I was trying to see if there were anything else that got fixed later on.
[Nexus S General] :
The Nexus 1 got ripped in its first few weeks for its dodgy clearpad 2000 screen which has support for only two touches at a time and its overlapping axis... This just shows you people are never satisfied. The N1 is one of the most important phones in history;)

JD
[Nexus S General] yungfresh:
I absolutely agree. before I got the phone I read so much crap left and right. All the whining about dual core, no sd, etc...I buckled down sold my N1 and bought the Nexus S the first day and there is no looking back! best move I could have made. The phone is awesome, it's already rooted and will give you the best android experience without the bloatware(sense, touchwiz). Technology moves so fast and people are never happy. Right now, this phone kicks ass!!!
[Nexus S General] azzeh3:
I second this!! All the way!
[Nexus S General] Smilez_c:
I freaking love this phone, you dont understand how great it is till you have it in your hands one word..IMMACULATE!
[Nexus S General] jroid:
dito :)

[Nexus S General] mingkee:
I used to hate Samsung phones (especially regular phones), but this one seems to be the best phone from Samsung and it looks very cool.

No memory card is the only thing I don't like.
[Nexus S General] calin75:
I still think Google and Samsung could have done better than this. LOL. LOL

Anyhow, it sounds to me that if you already got rid of your Nexus One you don't have a choice but to now love your Nexus S. :-P
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
It just wasnt a HUGE jump forward like the N1 was thats why
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
I think this is the first topic I've read without reading a single post whining about this or that. Kudos to everyone in this topic and the whiners that didn't post in this topic. I say whiners because I see it in almost every single damn topic I read through.
[Nexus S General] BlackOtaku:
I agree. Hopefully in a few weeks or so we'll see all the naysayers and doomsayers pass.

One day and we already have boot unlock (though that was admittedly pretty simple), custom recovery, root, and an optimized kernel. I only see bright things in this device's future, but that might just be the amazing screen! :)
[Nexus S General] tekkitan:
Not sure why people are hating on it so much. I havent taken my hand off it for a couple hours and I absolutely love it. Definitely worth my hard earned $560
[Intercept General] ntnlzr:
there is a method to enable multitouch on my ideos?

i've read about the screen is capacitive and not resistive maybe there is a software block to disable it

anyone have a solution?

reagards
[Intercept General] fosormic:
Impossible due to HW limitations. Soneone simulated it on a Kaiser (tilt) but was pretty useless.... Hmmm maybe it was on WM and nit Android， can't remember.
[Intercept General] ScooterG:
It was WM...I remember trying it on my TP2...not really an upgrade at the time.
[Intercept General] arqueiro:
this is interesting because some programs seens to "detect" when i perform a multitoutch, like if i press 2 points on the screen it give me back a midle point on the screens, dont it means that it can see where im clicking on 2 points on the screen?
[Intercept General] westsider_gw:
It just detects it like one giant finger-press.

..it gets the median.

Basically you have a finger the size of a fist :)
[Intercept General] k1018277:
I'm thinking of buying this tablet and did some research and found the following video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_kg96ZX6yA

At about 2:20 mark, it seems there is multitouch but as the quality of the sound is not very good I can't make out what he said.

Does anyone know what the person says at that point?
[Intercept General] ScooterG:
That's a video of the new Huawei tablet with a capacitive screen. It should be out soon. See the description below the video: The new Huawei Ideos S7 second generation Android tablet phone showing off its phone function, Google Maps A-GPS locking and playing the Angry Birds Seasons game.
[Intercept General] k1018277:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clay333:
Yes you can change the name, but you gave to do it thru Rom Manager. If you do it thru a file explorer it will fail the MD5 check. The way I do it is: open Rom Manager, click manage and restore backup, click the one you want to rename, then just click rename. Hope that helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMagicalSock:
Do not include spaces and only use letters, numbers, and periods. That's what I've always done and I've never had a problem.

Everyone here using clockwork i assume?

I didnt think you could rename ra backups and still restore with them
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlGmanlx:
you sure can, you can either do it with file explorer on your phone or USB hard drive mode and navigating to the Nandroid folder. 100% you can rename them, you just need to make sure you use the guidelines posted above
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruki_Uki:
So basically create the backup, then boot up the phone, go into Rom manager, then rename it.

And thanks everyone for all the help. Sorry I can't tell you the recovery I use, I just know its the one I've always used on my moment, hero, and now EVO.

Since updating Pandora a while back, the audio quality is less than decent. It sounds like every song that's been played has the treble turned all the way down, or that the singer is trapped in a tin can. After doing some light reading, the nexus forum came up with the solution that I've applied to my EVO. Click For Thread

The issue I'm having is getting the build.prop file to stay permanently changed, even after trying the listed instructions in post #13. When I pull the file using adb pull, I cant see the file immediately on my C:\ drive. I can only find it using search, then after changing and adb push'ing it to my phone the adb shell getprop listed says media.stagefright.player-enable is true (still on).

Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crpercodani:
Use root explorer and make the changes from your phone. Should work after a reboot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topher227:
Also, make sure that in your Pandora Settings, you have it set to Higher Quality Audio!

I noticed the same thing (only in the car, with the volume up loud) and changing this setting did the trick!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalrurouni:
Doh had completely forgotten about that Higher Quality Audio thing!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Your NAND might not be unlocked. Use these commands before pushing build.prop:

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
exit
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowboarda42:
Yeah I tried that, but while it sounds better than on Normal/Low quality I can still tell something isn't quite right. Especially in the car. Using the "temporary" way to turn off the stagefright makes it WAY better so I know something needs to be done.

I'm rooted with unrEVOked 3, I was under the impression that it permanently unlocks NAND. Should I try that anyhow?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abracastabya:
One of the first things I do when flashing a rom is edit the build.prop to fix Pandora...root explore is the way to go...it's totally easy :)
