[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Our phones are s-on by default, which prevents the modification of /system, where the facebook/twitter/gmail, etc. apps are stored. If you want s off, check the sticky thread in the dev section, however, you can just get an app called titanium backup and freeze the app which will disable it and hide it in your app drawer. That would be by far the easiest route. Or, alternatively, you can reboot into clockwork recovery, mount /system in the partitions menu, and then plug your phone into your computer and run adb shell from command prompt (assuming you have android sdk installed) and then typing cd /system/app, then type ls, then type rm appname.apk. Freezing the apps with titanium should suffice however.

As for your first question, cm6 is the most popular, stable, and widely supported 2.2 rom. There is cr_mod 2.13 and nb_mod 2.15 which are tmobiles leaked stock 2.2 for the slide. 2.13 supposedly doesn't have swype, while 2.15 does, but 2.15 doesn't have the genius button or visual voicemail stuff. If you want the 2.15 rom, I can walk you through getting genius back, but my phone keyboard is small to type too much on, so I won't go into it now. Arayraymod is simply another aosp rom similar to cm6, except it is built from 2.2 source, so it's his own rom. Some people prefer it because the developer is more "local" to this phone, unlike cyanogen, who develops for tons of phones. 3rd sense, and gratiouslide are just sense ports from other phones, both mostly the same with slightly different tweaks. They are kind of buggy when it comes to the keyboard ? and sym keys, as well as fn and caps lights, but they work mostly. Wifi I think might still be broken on one of them as well, but not positive there. Cyanoginger is just a gingerbread theme to flash over cm6, very well done theme in my opinion, I recommend it if you don't want to try the cm7 builds just yet.

I recommend you try out a bunch of different roms to gather your own opinions and likes/dislikes. Personally, I'm a more stock android type of guy, I use cyanogenmod roms, and I'm currrently running the cm7 nightlies, which run fairly smoothly. Only a few kinks to work out it seems at this point. It all depends on what the user likes though.

Hope all that helped, my thumbs are sore now ;)

I had GPS problem since a member posted a fix for GPS fast detection. I tried, and ended up being not working at all.

Second the problem is worse. After taking a video.. randomly this problem popped up.

I can take pictures, but it only shows previews before taking picture when it starts up, then freezes once camera loads.

Screen doesn't show what picture I am taking, but only the frozen picture at the start up of the camera. (IDK how to explain better)

But when you take the picture, it actually takes the photo of what you are trying to take.

On the video on other hand, I can start it. It stays on 0:00 and I cannot press pause nor stop. Only way to get out was pressing home button, but no videos are recorded.

I'n on DI01 and about to buy Titanium to upgrade. I keep gearing about DJ05, DL09, DL30, and EB01... what should I upgrade to? I'm new to this....

Samsung Fascinate, Verizon

DI01 (upgrading soon)

MTM Blackout Keyboard

SuperClean 0.4

StupidFast kernel
[Fascinate General] Azaurath:
DL09 is the latest official update from Verizon. It will have the most kernel's and ROM's available.

DL30 and EB01 are the Froyo leaks, with EB01 being the latest one. You are basically stuck with the stock kernel for now. Some ROM's and theme's are available for both leaks right now, but not as many as DL09.
[Fascinate General] jenisiz:
Personally I'd go with the new. If you're new at this you'll need support and it'll be hard finding it when a vast majority will leave the other roms/radios behind. Go with eb01...
[Fascinate General] onemotodroid:
Install eb01 you will have a stable device with less issues.
[Fascinate General] obsidianchao:
Does that mean DL09 has problems, per se?

... Doesn't that also mean bloatware?

[Fascinate General] Azaurath:
I don't think it has any major issues. It was released to fix the issues in DI01. But it is still Android 2.1

If you use a stock update then yes the bloat will be there. But there are also clean ROM's you could use.

But if you are switching your phone around anyways I would go for EB01. You can always switch to DL09 if you don't like it.
[Fascinate General] obsidianchao:
Wait... I don't understand. EB01 is Froyo but not 2.2? O.o

[Fascinate General] vai1018:
No no no, DL09 and previous roms are all Android 2.1, aka Eclair. DL30 and above, including EB01, are Android 2.2, aka Froyo.

If you want DL09 (Eclair), there are myriad choices available for custom roms. DL30 is already obsolete by virtue of EB01, so for any DL30-based distros I would wait til they update to EB01 (if that is to be the final 2.2 build). Otherwise, I've run the EB01 stock (ran very nicely, even with the bloat) and am currently on Superclean 2.1 (EB01-based) and have been happy with the performance.
[Fascinate General] obsidianchao:
Now, is there an ad blocker in SC2.1, does it kill bloat, and what's the advantage of 2.2 over 2.1 other than flash? I may want DL09 instead just because of themes.

Hey. I've asked this before, but never really got a clear answer.

I currently have a bunch of market apps installed on my phone and SD card. Last time I cleared my phone, I did a backup using Titanium. Upon restoring all of my apps, it didn't seem to restore them as much as it seemed to reinstall them, since I had to accept the security risks for each application individually and hit install, install, install, install, etc.

With the VERY SMALL possibility of an official 2.2 coming out soon, I know I will need to flash my phone back to 2.1. That said, is there a better/easier way to backup AND restore my apps?
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
The donate version of titanium backup automatically installs your apps
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Well any time you try yo restore your apps it can cause problems with force closes so try to use titanium as least as possible. The.only other way is to.do a backup and.then you can restore data thru cwm. Its always just a better idea to just do a fresh install on it.

[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:

[Epic 4G General] Sh0wNuF:
The best way to do it is to reinstall the apps via the market and just use titanium to restore the app data
[Epic 4G General] yogi2010:
i love Mybackup Pro, works great. i like how it puts the apps back in the exact configuration that you had them on your homescreen. but, it did fail me once or twice, where i went to restore, and it said 'could not get backup set'..... maybe that was something funky i did? otherwise i love that app.
[Epic 4G General] yogi2010:

The only time the phone doesnt reboot is when it is being charged. Does this mean my battery is damaged? I went ahead and placed an order for a new battery, but I was curious if a damaged battery could cause the constant reboots?

I am running Gingerbread, OMFGB 1.1.1. I just switched to Luncher Pro and have been trying to add a shortcut to the All Apps folder in App Folders to the dock.

Here's where it gets fun. The shortcut works for a while, and then, after ten to fifteen minutes of using my phone normally, I will go to click the shortcut and receive a toast notification saying, "Could not launch the requested activity."

Weird. If anyone can take a guess or knows of an issue that might cause this, let me know. If you need logs, I can procure them.

Oh, as an added bonus, placing the same shortcut to my All Apps folder on my homescreen, it works perfectly. Only when placed on the dock will it act up.

Better question...for the guys who've had the 2.1 roms + undervolted kernels and are now on 2.2...which was better? I really want to know about just battery life but the more you provide the better.

Honstley, stock 2.2 gave me slightly less battery life than epic experience 2.1 with pheonix kernel and more than stock 2.1 but I'm currently running midnight and have run every bonsai rom as well and the battery life on these are amazing, I get about 14 hours on a charge and that is litening to music for 8 hours straight while I'm at work. I can't tell you aout the other dk28 roms since I've only ran bonsai and midnight but they give me great battery life and I don't think I could stand to go back to 2.1 now

Thank you thank you :) I knew as soon as I went back to 2.1 someone would respond >.< but its all good. 8 hours straight of music is what I like to read because thats very close to what I pull in. 2.2 has some great UI changes over 2.1 and on Bonsai I got about 14 hours on a charge as well under perfect conditions and but daily it was an avg at around 12 so I appreciate this post a lot. I've never ran 2.1 for long, as soon as I got this phone I just put on 2.2 so I never got to see what it had to offer so I guess I'll give it a go. I really just want the added battery life.

Battery life is all relative to what your are doing with your phone.

So many people like to tell everyone how they got XX hours on XXX Rom with "moderate use" or "heavy usage", etc..

It's all relative, moderate to some would be heavy to others, etc.

midNIGHT is based on Bonsai (IIRC), so I would expect them to be similar.

I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

The only thing I would add is that, for me, Bonsai does a wonderful job at minimizing battery use while the phone is idle (ie sleeping). If the screen is off it seems like it will last forever!

Best thing you could do is load up a Rom and try it out for a few days.

No one's phone usage is the same as yours so just try for yourself.

EDIT: for some reason I NEVER have a time without signal below or above 50% even if I check it 2 mins after unplug but that dosent seem to drain battery like it did on DI18 (average tw/os there was 30-40% same usage but only 8-9 hrs until phone off from dead battery)

The dell streak doesnt have an LED to use for notifications or charging status.

fear not! This app has you covered!

http://www.appbrain.com/app/noled/com.led.notify

when your screen is off, you can have a icon displayed onscreen (while the rest of the screen isnt lit up) for txts, missed calls, gmail, email, calander, gtalk, charging status etc

all customised, any colour!

Enjoy!

Does not work with a replacement lock screen.

Only shows notices for messages, emails, etc, that arrive when the screen is off, so if you ignore a text or email when doing something else no reminder when you lock the screen.

Other than those two limitations it works fine.

NoLED FAQ and dev home page - these are good reading and summarize a lot of what you'll find in the development thread.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] crashDebug:
I do not think it's a good idea on our device. LED displays like the sgs's use much less juice than our LCD ones, plus I don't really know how it works on LEDs but in LCD there is always a lamp that is turned on despite it being almost all black. it could like suffer from excessive usage. plus, the three softbutton LEDs stay lit all the time with this app.

i'm absolutely not saying the app is bad, just i think it was not designed for our phone.

streakled is better (although it only displays sms)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Cypher84:
