Alright, my first thread EVER.

First off, I'd like to say thank you to all of the developers on this forum.

Everyone does amazing work... and I hope to be able to contribute one day soon.

So I claim no credit for any of the work I discuss in this topic.

As for now, I've been tapping my toes for Gingerbread, as many of you may have been as well. I have, though, in the meantime trying out some of the ROMs released by developers ( Evervolv | GRH55/Android 2.3.1 | v1.0.0a15 | [released by preludedrew] && OMGB v5 (Android 2.3) [released by R2DoesInc )

Since the initial release, I have run on either / or of these ROMs and not had to revert back except about twice. They both run great in my personal opinion, and I'm sure there both still being worked on. But I found myself asking which one I should leave flashed?

I said I liked the feel of OMGB 5 initially, vs the Evervolv v1.0.0a13 - Gingerbread... but since then, Evervolv took it up to v1.0.0a15 and now has a working GPS. I'm sure OMGB isn't going to be behind, though. It seems like you initially don't have access to change the layout of the Everlov, though. Instead of trying to go mess with the settings, I downloaded a simple Gingerbread 2.3 launcher app off of the Android Market, and it works beautifully. Only the absence of a Camcorder and a few little things here and there. But I was never able to run daily on an AOSP for more than one or 2 days before going back to a Sense ROM. In my opinion, one of 2 things are going to happen in the near future...

Let me specify though, this is ALL speculation.

These 2 developers, are going to come so close to perfection with these ROMs. But I believe after the OTA is released, we may see HTC perfect it's Sense. I'm curious to see in the near future... perhaps on January 1st, the source at least is leaked out. And let me say again, MERE SPECULATION.

((But based on previous trends, at least in my head, reference Skyraider Froyo 2.2 )) which was out before official OTA release.

Does anyone have a preference, or still need to stick with another 2.2 ROM for some reason? I see why a camcorder may be important to some, but as for everything else, it does what needs to be done. Virtually no hiccups.

Thank you for your responses ahead of time.

[Droid Incredible General] igknighted:
I don't think you'll see 2.3 sense for quite some time... probably not until at least spring (IIRC this is about how long it took from 2.2 release until 2.2 sense roms were available). We'll probably never get an official OTA for incredible, but hopefully Evo or another similar phone will get it and we can port it.

As for an AOSP version, I think we're a few weeks or less away from having it up and running fully. The source has already been fully released and the CM team (among many others) is on it. If you can live without sense, I don't think you'll be waiting too much longer.
[Droid Incredible General] breathtakingevil:
Hmm, I agree. But I was just thinking it would be something to advertise 5 days before the end of the year, in order to get rid of inventory. But it was just a wild suspision, clearly I haven't a clue about marketing.

Happy Holidays :-)
[Droid Incredible General] gonzlobo:
I'll sample omgb on and off until the real CM7 is released. Haven't tried enervolv though. As far as kernels go, I try invisiblek's builds, reports problems, then roll back to #18.

I believe I've been tinkering alot since I've been off all week (and still have another week to go). Whatever I end up with on Jan 3rd will have to be full featured, stable and last 12 hours on a full charge.
[Droid Incredible General] patches152:
There's a gingerbread version for the incredible that's supposed to be coming to testing soon, but who knows how LTE smartphone testing will impact that. Maybe in march or later (after inc HD is released and out for a month)?
[Droid Incredible General] tdavis42:
I also believe that we are going to have to wait until the Inc HD comes and sits for a while before we see anything related to Gingerbread on our Inc's. We might get lucky and have it released the same day the Inc HD comes out but Moto is more known to do that. One thing I do believe is that the Inc is not one of the phones that will get left out of the update to 2.3. We might be a little behind the Evo but we will see it.
[Droid Incredible General] patches152:
It's not up to moto, though. Has to go through three stages of carrier testing. Unless VZW tries to release both on the same day, you're gonna get one and the other. Ultimately VZW has the last say.
[Galaxy Tab General] gophet:
Is it possible? I need 3g access to the internet and wifi to the lan with no internet? I have tries setting static ip with no gateway and the interface wont enable.
[Galaxy Tab General] sprecker:
I get it you want to tether wirelessly. I have no ides if that is even possible. Let us know if you figure it out. My first inclination was that it would be too hard to route the info from the 3G/h networks to wifi to user back to host back to 3g/H. I am probably wrong though.
[Galaxy Tab General] drdax:
Of cause its possible. Just make sure u have a high speed connection for 3g

I've tethered my laptop to the tab and to my streak.

Works ok. Just don't expect it to b super fast.
[Galaxy Tab General] gophet:
If your wifi does not have internet access, but you still wanna connect to it for local device access like ssh or gmote. This really is bumming me out. There seems to be no way to enable both
[Galaxy Tab General] gophet:
Anyone?!?!?!?
[Galaxy Tab General] gophet:
Well i guess the answer is no ?

[Nexus S General] drewstiff:
When I first booted my NS the clock was completely wrong. I turned on network time in the settings and it was still wrong. I left it like that and next time I looked at my phone, half an hour or so later, the time was correct. I'm on Vodafone UK.

Not entirely sure but I think you guys might just be being too impatient! Also note that network time isn't available on*all* networks.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
I bought the new EX ADW launcher and threw it in CM 6.1.1 before I flashed it. This thing is great, well worth the money and by far the best launcher out there. My main issue though is that for the life of me I can't get my phone to lock now. I can press power and the screen will time out like normal but when I 'unlock' it the screen just comes back on - no lock screen or anything. Even tried setting a pattern and got nothing. Anyone else have this issue or figure out how to fix it? I figure I just did something wrong:confused:

The second issue is I can't get my home button to do anything. No previews and it won't take me back to the home screen - in fact aside from vibrating when I touch it, it doesn't work at all. Could it be conflicting with the cyanogen settings or something else?

Any ideas would be appreciated and helpful.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsktballstar3131:
Hmmm...I'm using adw launcher ex and I don't have either of those two problems you mention. I'm running 6.1.1. I'm using lock screen gesture to unlock the phone instead of pattern lock. For me, turning off screen and immediately waking it shows the lock screen. As for your home issue there is a home binding option in the settings, maybe there is your problem? I have mine set to default screen/previews when I press the home button.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastajest:
Lockscreen issue has to be due to CM because ADW EX doesn't mess with that.

Check the input settings in CM Mod to make sure you don't have the lockscreen disabled.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
I ended up re-flashing the ROM and it works now. It does it randomly - the last time it occurred after running a fix permissions, kind of strange. No sure if that's what caused it or not.

Everyone thank the developers for the work that they do to give us free software. These fine people represent the blood that keeps the open source community strong!

Come on everyone, show some appreciation here!
[G Tablet General] festivus:
Having a strange issue with ADW.Launcher. From time to time, I will get a white dialog box in the upper right hand corner, almost like it is announcing a notification of some sort, but it's just an empty write box. I think it's triggered by me moving an icon around, but letting it "slip" and not moving it enough, but I'm not really sure. In any case, once that one dialog box appears, nothing short of a reboot will get rid of it. Moreover, I notice that the tablet will freeze up for a few moments at a time as well.

This is on a stock tablet with the Enhancement Pack. Thanks in advance for any help!
[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:
I'm having it too with stock+enh pack 2. It looked as you said like a dialog box, so I tried to press anything that would usually make one - turning the wifi off seems to fix it. Don't ask me why. For now I think I'll switch back to LauncherPro until this is worked out.
[G Tablet General] poymeister:
This happened to me as well. I currently have adw.launcher EX 1.2.2 running on Tntlite 5.0.0

There is a launcher action called "open notifications" that is the default action associated with one of the launcher gestures -- either up swipe or down swipe (sorry, i don't have the gtab in front of me at the moment). I just made sure i changed that configuration to use a different action.

I have found that when the empty open notification window is there, weird things happen. Setup seems to not work consistently for example.

Also, I swear that I have seen this issue on previous versions of ROMs and not just tntlite 5.0.0.

I don't have a reasonable fix for this other than "don't open notifications". I did try the latest ADW Notifier but that didn't work.
[G Tablet General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I've seen this too. That's a great explanation of what it is.

Turning off that gesture makes perfect sense.
[Nexus S General] cmarti:
Is it possible on the S? I am thinking on moving From the Nexus One to the S but infrastructure is important to me.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
call me slow or stupid but ...what?
[Nexus S General] cmarti:
I am talking about this: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/945-wireless-tether-infrastructure-mode-apwpa-encryption/

If you tether ad-hoc you can't connect the PSP or other devices to your phone, but with infrastructure you can.
[Nexus S General] unremarked:
According to the Nexus S teardown on iFixit, it appears our phones have the same broadcom wifi(BCM4329) chip in it.

Sooooo... maybe?
[Nexus S General] cmarti:
Good to know, so maybe it does.

Can anyone actually confirm it does?
[Nexus S General] clubtech:
The mobile hotspot app built into the NS is working in infrastructure mode, not ad-hoc
[Nexus S General] nxt:
Yes.
[Nexus S General] cmarti:
Great, thanks for the responses

load up an energy rom or an android build.

read the stickies if you haven't
[HD2 General] Optimus-Prime:
umm okay. i got the android build on it already. evo carbon something blah blah blah. but will the rom mess up anything with my phone? like will some things be workign and others will not? i jsut want this phoen for the basics stuff. and LOL we live int he same area.

thanks :) i was looking intot he diffrent builds i have tried several but i think im sticking with the EVO CARBON REMIX. you should look at it too. everything seems to be working with no problems.
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
Some people have reported problems when mixing different android builds and windows rom. If everything is working right for you I'd suggest you keep it like that and just mess with the android portion of it.

Looks like we do live next to each other. It's cold out.
[HD2 General] Optimus-Prime:
yeah i think the version of windows i have if fine for me. I got the android EVO Carbon build on there and it works perfectly. ill just stick to that.

And yes it is cold out. Went to the mall today... it was packed and cold...
[HD2 General] apsjr1:
now you should update your rom before the phone start crashing (get energy rom put in)
[HD2 General] Optimus-Prime:
crashing? what do you mean crashing? the phone has been fine recently no problems or nothing. i jsut want the android for use at times. is ti neceesary to apply a rom?
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Evo carbon Remix is the shiz. It works great with the stock 3.14 ROM and 2.15 stock radio. With any Android ROM running off of the SD card, eventually you will get corruption.

One word of advice that I can give is that once you get it all setup and **** is working great, back up the build in a folder on your computer. then when it starts acting dumb, just format your sd card and recopy the good build you backed up onto it...

I've got about 15 perfect builds chillin on my computer. :) I usually don't back them up until I've done the full batterystats.bin cycle.

My favs are the Blutopia 1.0.4, Evo Carbon Remix V 0.6, Core Droid Supersonic V 0.7. I like the Desire HD builds around, but they aren't as solid as the SD builds. Evo is better than the Desire builds IMHO. Seems like the data is always faster.
[HD2 General] Optimus-Prime:
okay. im kind of confused here with the romand radio things.

these are the following things i have in the Software Information section.

should any of these be updated? sorry kind of new to this.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
You are running some old ****. :) Go to Tmobile's windows upgrade link: http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/ and download the newest phone software.
[HD2 General] Optimus-Prime:
okay im doing it right now.
[HD2 General] Optimus-Prime:
okay i have a question now. i was reading up on roms and u need to have HSPL thing. i did mine whit HSPL2. i saw that there is HSPL3. do i have to this over again. or is ti fine the way it is with HSPL2?
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
Only difference between the 2 and 3 are the spl options. Both will get you to the same spot, but HSPL3 is more dumb proof cuz it only gives you two options 2.08 and HSPL 2.08. Like I said, it doesn't matter which one you use.
[HD2 General] Optimus-Prime:
since i updated the official rom. do i have to do the HPSL again?
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Nope. Not unless you flashed the ROM from the SD card. Go into bootloader. Hold down Volume rocker and push red power button. Hold em until you see the tri color screen... It will tell you what SPL you have.

Been testing out v5, and it was pretty good minus the GPS cutting in and out while using Google Navigation. I also noticed that the zoom on the camera was only 2x,..I think that it was a higher digital Zoom on CM 6.2.1. Not a big deal, but just thought I'd point it out.

I did have one question for you though. Was it possible to upgrade from v5 to v6 or did I have to do a total wipe?

Thanks for the great work guys.

You may want to use the file eVoKings posted earlier, I think it was format all.. (it's a couple pages back. It's a great file to have.. I actually plan on using it from now on before flashing a new ROM myself)... then after you wipe everything, Flash that file before you flash the ROM. Good luck.

[EVO 4G Android Development] thecatch:
Sprint Visual Voicemail

New here but I got Sprint VVM working. It takes a few steps:

-First you have to download the Sprint VVM APK file (it can be found on the internet, I don't think forum admins want links posted to retail software)

-Install that and then go into the voicemail app

-send a voicemail (just start the record and then stop it) to activate@vvm.sprint.com

-after a few minutes this will activate and your voicemails will be downloaded

Caveats:

-the sprint VVM application gets information that you have new voicemails from text messages sent from 9016. These can be annoying but SMS blacklisting apps like redlist can solve this issue.

-your voicemail data can be restored from an old ROM once you install the sprint VVM application. If you used Titanium Backup you can just go in there and select restore on the voicemail application

It will take a little tweaking but if you like the VVM interface then it is worth it.

Also I really like the work. I am a programmer myself so if there is any help I can provide drop me a line!
