[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LimitsX:
Thanks man!

but are those CM-7 nightly ones stable though?! I won't likely experience any SD-memory card errors, wifi not working , and etc *the usual problems* lol.

I would like to remain at 1 Ghz for now LOL. Just need a vanilla android version with tons of customizations though!

Also, since my phone is currently "ultimate perm true rooted + s=off " , I installd Rom Manager and did a Flash clockworkMod Recovery, only once though. Should I do it again? (twice)?

So, can you please tell me what is the true purpose of CWM? I know you can use it to recover, but recover what exactly and how is that possible?

Let's say I decide to get the CM-7 nightly version, what do I do need to do? (any specific guide) ive read general guides and I believe I did the right things lol.

Now with regarding flashing, it flashes the NAND chip right? :S So the apps i have installed and other tmobile junk will be lost? like it would be a complete full format process (similar to PC?)?

Thanks again! I appreciate it and I am looking through the thread and googling to learn :).
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] everest.deth:
1. Regarding how stable it is..its super stablr considering its still an alpha and i trust it enough to use it as my daily driver (i need 100% reliability and the phone has never let me down). Only known bugs are qik not working (and its a 2.3 compatibility issue rather than a rom issue) and you can use tango instead, ffc has a reverted x-axis effect xD..., mms might be blurry (which is fixed by changin the ua undr mms settings) and some may have other bugs i have not yet noticed :)

2. Your current 2.5 cwm will not work with gb, you will need to flash any 3.xxx version to install cm7. Cwm is designed to do backups of ur current working system and can be restored in the events of ur phone acting up (i.e bootloops or major issues...) although its also used to easily install .zip files (cm7 is a rom contained in .zip file and will need to be installes via recovery), its used also to wipe the system cache, dalvik cache and/or full wipes in the events of issues.

3. Here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=916930#

Thats the nightly thread, you will have a "nightly" update you can flash thru recovery

4. If u go to cm7 you will have to (must) do a full wipe. Download titanium backup and back up ur existing apps and data (dont wanna lose ur angry birds progress), once cm7 is up just download tit bcup again and you'll have ur data back.

Hope this helped

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmwils3:
one question at a time, bro.

1)the CM7 Nightlies are "Fairly" stable, though they do have bugs, as they are not fully complete (then again, no rom really is devoid of bugs and things to improve).

2)as for flashing CWM a second time, sometimes the recovery doesnt stick and when you boot into recovery, you will still go to the stock recovery. The second flash of CWM should fix this, and you should go to the CWM screen.

3) The purpose of CWM is to flash the various ROMs you'll find in the Development Section of this area. It also allows you to create nandroid backups, which will allow you to restore your phone to a specific state in time if something goes wrong or something (also helps to flash back to a rom without having to reinstall everything, which takes forever)

4)to flash a gingerbread (either CM7 or otherwise) you'll need to flash the CWM 3 to your phone manually, using the methods laid out in several threads in the Dev section. then you'll need to flash the rom, plus the Gapps for that rom (google apps like gmail, market, etc)

5)and yes, flashing a new rom will wipe all the data f(apps, accounts, call and text logs, etc) from the previous rom the previous (or youll need to do so before flashing). Now you see why you make nandroid backups :) also, using a backup application like titanium or MyBackup can make that process much simpler.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LimitsX:
Arighty. I've been reading that CM-7 nightly thread for now!

I am excited now to flash it! Plus your suggestion and said it is the most vanillaish rom avaliable :p.

Okay, so I have Rom Manager Preimum that is 3.0.0.7 and since I flashed it currently, so CWM is 2.5.1.2 .

and I need CWM 3.x?

Regarding CWM 3.x? theres ClockworkMod 3.0.0.5 and clockwork-3-20110116-MT4G.img .

Which one of the above CWM 3.x, is better to use? Also, they are in .img format, so how would I go about flashing it?

this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10670110&postcount=531

its using CWM 3.0.0.5 , is that a good method ?

And what happens to my current CWM 2.5.1.2? I already flashed it with that, do i need to "unflash" it ?

After that CWM, I use Titanium backup (i have pro version) to backup my apps + phone contacts right? I don't want to backup tmobile bloatware :p. I only the apps i paid for through android market.

And then, I download CM-7 and transfer it to my phone via usb cable to the sd card. Then use ROM Manager to flash it?!

thanks again!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LimitsX:
Thank you bro!

I appreciate all that information and effort you put into it.

And yes, you are right. All roms have flaws, they all need to be worked out ;). But, this tmobile rom is just a bit annoying :p.

I posted a reply already, so I believe i know how to go about doing this CM-7 stuff...but just need to make sure I go the steps and necessary backup done.

thanks!

p.s. can you transfer phone contacts to simcard in this CM-7 rom? tombile has this option shut off for android 2.2 for G2 and MYT4G~! i know HTC Desire Z Bell's rom has the option to save contacts on the simcard, :S. Unless theres some other issue that i am not aware of it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmwils3:
well, Im running a Desire HD port (gorillaSense), so my rom has that feature, but I havent used CM7 in a little while. However, if you sync your contacts to google instead of t-mobile, youll have all of them no matter what rom you use, no matter if it has t-mobile contacts or sim card contacts or anything.

and yeah, the t-mobile rom is annoying, thats why I got off it as soon as I could and never looked back. Personally I prefer the Sense ROMs, but I can see the merits of the CM and AOSP ROMs too, its personal preference.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] everest.deth:
K, so i checked the settings on the contact application and you can only export your stored contacts to the SD card, you are able to import from SIM but not to export to SIM. Like the post above stated though, as long as you are on an android phone you will have your contacts synced :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZaCaptivate:
A friend of mine just got her a captivate...hasn't done anything with it really, but she was wondering how to change her messaging notification sound to an mp3 song file...

The only problem is that she has handcent sms downloaded and the song plays for a bit then gets cut off

Any advice?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dungeon47:
Copy the mp3 to the media/audio/notifications folder. Just beware if it's a long song it will play forever unless you manually shorten it. Try using Ringdroid or Tape Machine for that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZaCaptivate:
Ok thanks and cheers!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vunuts:
Get Ringdroid from the market. You transfer songs to your phone, open up Ringdroid, select the song you want and you can trim out the section of the song you want to use, therefore it doesn't play the entire song. And when you are finished, it asks you if you want it to be saved as a ringtone, notification, or an alarm and it will save it to the proper directory.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael2041:
Don't get mad at me if this is a stupid question but, why is it that there are no touchwiz roms? Is there some sort of protection on them? Are they too complex for the G1? Just wondering.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilsonlam97:
Its probably a copyright thing. I mean HTC Sense on a HTC made phone makes sense but running a samsung skin is probably going to get xda in trouble.

Here's someone who posted a touchwiz rom for an htc device here on xda with no one claiming it was warez or anything... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6946781#post6946781

I think its a full rom but it might be just a theme.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:
It is mainly because handset company roms (touchwiz, sense, motoblur ect...) are generally quite a bit heavier to run than vanilla android.

Not to mention that most people with touchwiz are looking at how to get rid of it...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael2041:
I guess its because in general the G1 isnt up to date with other phones...and I hate custom UI's but theyre so fun to play around with for a few days..then i want my vanilla back. Hahah
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
More than likely because people generally don't like TouchWiz. Its pretty well known for being one of the worst skins of Android (personal preference of course).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xomikronx:
General consensus is that it's a slow, buggy, and most people just don't like the UI.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raydar670:
The main reason there aren't any Touch Wiz roms is because there's not much demand or interest in them. Just look at the HD2 it can run WM6, WP7, and Android all because of the interest and demand in the community.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mailboy1412:
I do really like Touchwiz, especially TouchWiz 4. It is clean and nice looking
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atomix86:
TouchWiz isn't really a framework or interface like Sense is, it's just a launcher. If you look around you can find it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosser725:
Well, TouchWiz is a different type of filesystem (Non-MTD), so that could be it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infinimint:
Lol, the filesystem in this case is irrelovent (unless you are trying to port a rom with TouchWiz). TouchWiz itself is basically just a theme and a few apps.

Anyone know of a decent stylus for the vibrant? I just ordered a cheapo one from ebay and it's not that great. It has a rubber tip so I can't swype or drag well. I just want one so I can use the phone without taking off my gloves during cold weather. Thanks.
[Vibrant Accessories] ColorNapkin:
What about touchscreen gloves, instead?

http://www.bing.com/shopping/search?q=touchscreen gloves&FORM=HURE
[Vibrant Accessories] texas_born:
Doesn't the stylus have to be a capacitive touch screen stylus?
[Vibrant Accessories] proresearch:
I also need to know this. I use Square to process credit cards for my business and customers have hard time using thier finger for signatures, I need a pen that will work and not scratch the screen.
[Vibrant Accessories] mattb6288:
the screen has gorilla glass so its almost impossible to scratch and you can just google capacitive stylus and go to the shopping section
[Vibrant Accessories] burntrat:
I know of touchscreen gloves, but they don't act as good shooting gloves. I'd like to stick to my current gloves.
[Vibrant Accessories] burntrat:
Yes, it does.

I've been doing some more research on it. I can't really find the perfect stylus. I tried to use my crappy stylus today and it was a hassle to get it in and out of my pocket. I think I may abandon the whole stylus thing altogether and go with another method like sewing some conductive thread into my shooting gloves.

http://www.instructables.com/id/Making-A-Glove-Work-With-A-Touch-Screen/

Whoever wanted a stylus for signatures, it looks like the Dagi stylus give the best accuracy. I would've went with that, but it is kind of expensive and hear it stops working randomly.

If anyone has better options, let me know.
[Vibrant Accessories] tgaume:
I like my pogo sketch. Amazon has them for about $7 (forum will not let me post external link).
[Vibrant Accessories] burntrat:
That's the one with the foam tip right? Does it work on the 4 bottom buttons?
[Vibrant Accessories] tgaume:
Just tried it on mine, and yes it does.
[Vibrant Accessories] T313C0mun1s7:
DayDeal.com has a HTC Branded stylus that looks exactly like the Dagi one. They also have several conductive foam tip ones as well. Just stay away from rubbery style tips. They are a little smaller and a little more precise for tapping, but they stick to the screen so Swype does not work well and neither would signatures.

BTW - Does the square hardware work with the T959 Vibrant?
[Vibrant Accessories] compuguy1088:
Yes, square officially supports the vibrant.
[Vibrant Accessories] burntrat:
Wow, that HTC one is just as expensive as the Dagi. I would've gotten one, but read some reviews about it not working after a while.
[Vibrant Accessories] rembonjaski:
The best stylus I've used is, by far, the Griffin. I got mine from Amazon for just under $15. I bought it for sketching on my iPad but use it on my Vibrant as well.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0041D0K1Q/ref=oss_product

The tip is soft rubber (as opposed to conductive foam like the Pogo) that slides across the screen nicely. The eBay kinds have rubber that skids and leaves marks - the tip on this one does not. I've used it on bare screens, crystal clear screen protectors, and matte anti-fingerprint screen protectors with no issues whatsoever.

Sensitivity and accuracy are better than the Pogo and it works at all angles, unlike those crap eBay kind.

From what I understand, Targus and Boxwave make versions that are pretty much identical. I think they all run about the same price, so I guess go with whatever brand you like best.
[Vibrant Accessories] cha0sdsm:
Targus - Stylus for Apple® iPad™

Works just as good and can pick up at local best buy. I sell these with cell phones all day long.
[Vibrant Accessories] burntrat:
AAhhh...I should have checked locally first. I just ordered the Griffin through amazon. Hopefully I get it before winter is over. Thanks for all your help guys. I was pretty close to sewing that conductive thread on my gloves which I did not want to do.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explode1991:
I've done a good bit of research and I'm surprised that nobody has asked how to fix the crappy multi touch streak has.

Here are the issues it currently has (tested in MultiTouch Visualizer 2):

-Does not read second touch until the finger has actually moved

-If you release the second finger without moving the first the phone will not recognize that the first finger is still touching the screen until you move it

-The screen will not register more than 2 touches (the app will just turn the screen blank when a third finger is placed)

So here is my question: Does anybody know of a way to modify the multi touch (response and number of points) through any means like build.prop or perhaps a modified kernel?

Is this just because they aren't made for this device???
[G Tablet General] GaryHypnosis:
To my knowledge, (opinion) only one core is being used by the operating system. Therefore it is as if the other core is shut off.

Two cores are two of the same processors but on one chip.

Honeycomb is an operating system designed to use both cores. I am not sure about Gingerbread and my understanding is that Froyo is a single core operating system and only runs on one core. (IMO, IMO, IMO, IMO etc.)!
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Both cores are running. You can test it with command line in terminal emulater

cpu1

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreg/cpuinfo_cur_freg

cpu2

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreg/cpuinfo_cur_freg

It should report back 1000000 on both. If its reporting 314000 then you have the lag on wake issue. The apps that are doing the tests aren't designed to look for more than 1 core yet.
[G Tablet General] GaryHypnosis:
Here is a post that seems to indicate to me that the second core is not processing in Froyo, (IMO) along with other comments. I found this over at AndroidCentral. For what it's worth. Of course these posts could be wrong, I don't know.

Both clocks are running, and the kernal supports dual core, I agree with you on that. I just think Froyo isn't utilizing the second core. Also, you may be absolutly correct that it just may be that the apps have not caught up with the processor. However, I still think it is Froyo that is not supporting the second core (JMO).

"Ok with all this talk about dualcore processor coming to Android. What's the use or need we already know froyo doesn't support dual core and gingerbread is a question mark. If it turns out that we wont see dualcore support until hunnycomb or later, why get one or why all the hype?"

"Gingerbread will support dual-core processors, but until most/all applications begin support for it there won't be much of a difference in performance. Most applications don't even need that kind of power unless you're gaming of course."

"All depends on the OS. With Froyo, the second core isn't doing anything useful. If GB doesn't support SMP, it will be the same way."
