[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbison83:
For some reason Titanium Backup does not work for me. When I run it I get 0 as a number of apps installed and when I click backup all apps and system files it immediately says backup completed. I've been using the Flii Backup. Is that okay? How do I copy all the stuff to my PC? Thank you for all the info.

Also, should I go with the 2.3 Gingerbread version instead?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oniyuri:
when you open Titanium Backup, does it say that it has been granted SU permissions?

If it does, then we're good so far. I've had that happen when I first used TiB on my hubby's phone. The way I got over that was to hit the menu button and select "Batch". You should now be on the Batch Backup/Restore - ALL page. From there, I selected RUN for "Backup all user apps + system data". That should force TiB to go ahead and make the backups.

Now, as for copying the files over onto your PC, just use plug in your USB cable and connect it to your PC. Your phone should emit a little tone or vibrate after this (or at least mine does but it's been a long time since I've used stock). From there, slide down your notifications bar (slide your finger from the top of the screen to the bottom of it) and you should see a note telling you that your USB is connected and if you hit that, it will ask you if you would like to mount your SD card (or something similar to that). Select "yes" and your PC will ask you if you want to open these "drives". Select "yes" again and now you will be able to explore the files on your phone the same way you'd do it on your PC.

As for the whole copy+paste thing, the files work the same as if you're copying files around your PC. Generally, I keep multiple backups on my PC, so it might be a smart idea to label your Titanium Backup file with name or date (ie: Titanium Backup - Stock JFD or Titanium Backup - ROMname blahKernel).

Afaik, we don't have a stable Gingerbread ROM yet but I think our devs are getting pretty close. However, we have several stable Froyo ROMs available in the Android Dev section.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbison83:
Yes. It seems to work now. I've used the Clockwork Recovery app and did backup through it. Would that be enough? Where is the Android Dev section? What do I do next? Thank you.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbison83:
As far as the ROM goes. Which one would you recommend? I was looking at the Axura 2.3.1.0 and Ginger Clone R2. How about Nero v5? Thanks guys!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arkasai:
Welcome! And yes you should definitely update to Froyo, or a rom based on Froyo. I'm not sure what you heard that soured your opinion of Froyo...but it is a noticeable performance upgrade! It's been a while but I'm pretty sure the JIT compiler was introduced with 2.2 (someone fact check me pls) which should improve java performance multiple times.

I recommend Bionix-V 1.21 for a custom ROM made especially for the Vibrant. It's extremely fast and the community is friendly, helpful, and most importantly VERY active. I linked you to a guide that should answer any questions you might have regarding the rom, and android in general.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbison83:
Thank you. Unfortunately the link does not work for me. It wants me to sign up.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arkasai:
Yeah, forgot to mention that...but hey if you're gonna try the rom you might as well join their site ;P
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbison83:
Update: Ok, guys. I went to this link and got the Axura 2.3.1.0 installed with the use of this video, which is very useful and I was able to perform this flash flawlessly.

Anyway, The ROM is really responsive and I have only found one flaw, which is that the Fast Web Install app does not work on it. I get the message that they are working on it. Also, the Titanium Backup did not back up anything. All was backed up by the ROM Manager and the Flii Backup.

This ROM has impressed me with its responsiveness. It seems like a high-quality ROM and this is the first time I did the flash, so I'm not familiar with other ROMs. However, this ROM seems like a good pick for now at least. Can you guys advise me where I can sign up for notifications about the Axura updates? Any further suggestions? I appreciate your precious time.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndhr3d:
In the Questions and Answers section, at the top, there is a NOOB guide... I would HIGHLY suggest reading it. It explains just about EVERYTHING you could want to do to your new phone!

As far as your next mod... start customizing your phone! Go to the Theme section of the forum and browse around for some custom battery mods and framework mods. It's CRAZY amazing how customizable these phones are!

I used to use the ROM's on here, but since Froyo came out, I'm sticking with a deodexed stock of KB1 (the latest and greatest update). That allows me to modify my framework and all the phone images without having to worry about screwing up one of the custom ROMs out there. I always feel safer with stock... plus root of course. Replaced my boot and shutdown animations with custom ones I created... don't have them posted on here as they are made specifically for my band and noone here would want them!

Keep your contacts synced to google so you don't lose them, backup with Titanium every once in a while to keep your game data and app data up to date, keep reading on here about modding, you could start reading the google developers website to learn about the inner workings of Android and how to write programs... so much to do and so little time in life!!!

Enjoy!

P.S. Everything that I've done to my phone (and it is quite a bit) I've done myself simply by reading these forums and researching everything on my own... you would be surprised how little you have to post questions on here if you simply take some time and read everyone else's posts. The search button up on top of every page is very useful!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phillip Fry:
Have CM7 installed and noticed my SD filled up quick. I found out its has been putting my pictures on the SD. How can I change it back to internal? Thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdavis42:
That is a little more tricky than it sounds but it can be done. Are you looking for a simple solution or the hard solution?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phillip Fry:
Whatever gets the job done and wont go away when I update CM7.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdavis42:
Simple solution is to use a different camera app that gives you the option. Hard solution is changing code in CM7 build and yes you would have to do it for every new build.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrockr:
Is there a new simple solution yet? If not... where can I find this code changing information?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrockr:
Could you make a recommendation? Are there any free options?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrockr:
The only app that I could verify had this feature is "Camera Advance" which crashes immediately upon trying to change this storage setting. Can anyone else recommend a camera app (pay or free) that allows you to successfully toggle the storage location (internal/external)?
[Epic 4G General] Ryjabo:
I'm still within my 30 days, so I'm going to the Sprint store tomorrow to trade this Epic in for an EVO.

I have played with the EVO quite a bit (couple of co-workers have it) and my reasons for trading it are:

1. I hate the clunkyness associated with having the type of keyboard that the Epic has. It drives me insane! I am not a gamer, I don't need the keyboard. I <3 Swype.

2. The EVO feels solid. Partially because it doesn't have a keyboard like the Epic, but it seems to be better built, physically.

3. The quality of display difference really isn't that drastic. Hold the two side by site. I think the difference is often exaggerated.

t;dr: The Epic is like a shiny, pretty car with a great motor, but it physically feels like a cheap plastic body and it drives me nuts.
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
Ok, we care why? This belongs in the EVO forum where people well cherry you on. Otherwise, you just look like a spoilsport. So you love the EVO, go enjoy it and let us enjoy our phones.
[Epic 4G General] Ryjabo:
I apologize for the massive inconvenience that sharing my thoughts about the Samsung Epic in the Samsung Epic forums has caused you.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
It would be fine if it was based in any sort of reality. The display on the Epic is in another class entirely than the EVO display. To say they are similar is a lie.

Also, if you don't like the form factor of a hardware keyboard sliding phone, why the hell did you buy it in the first place?

Lastly, no one cares about any of this because they are excited about getting froyo on Monday.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
You're perfectly free to share your thoughts, but don't act surprised when people here don't care. Threads like this rarely go anywhere good.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
And all this when official 2.2 looks like it will finally hit. LOL. To each their own.
[Epic 4G General] rgregg504:

"I don't care about this thread so much so that I'm going to post in it."

Awesome.

You guys are a grouchy bunch. Good grief.

Hey, you're posting a message that I don't care about, so here's me replying to let you know that I don't care.
[Epic 4G General] Ryjabo:
Holy sh**.

Are you guys for real?

All I did was give you my thoughts about the Epic and why I'm switching. You have me confused with some EVO fanboy that wants to come in here and rub your noses in dogsh**.

Sorry, I'll shutup. I didn't see the forum guideline that says "Don't say anything negative about this phone in here".
[Epic 4G General] worldwidepmp:
OP, if you've been around this part of XDA, you should have known to wear an asbestos suit before starting this thread!
[Epic 4G General] Ryjabo:
Apparently I haven't been around it enough. There's some serious nerd rage going on in here.
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
Agreed.	A friend of mine wants an Epic because side by side, the difference really IS that much better even being a little bit smaller. More power to the OP for wanting a phone that tickles his fancy better.
[Epic 4G General] cpcormier3:
I bought this phone because it had a keyboard and the Shift had not been mentioned by the time my 30 days were up. If I only knew then what I know now, about the shift!
[Epic 4G General] Ryjabo:
I can't say that the difference isn't obvious, but it's not "better enough" with the Epic for me, personally, to enjoy a phone that feels as clunky as the Epic does because of the shoddy keyboard mechanism.
[Epic 4G General] socos25:
I'm not here to flame, I personally don't have an interest in which phone you prefer. But as others have said, if you prefer Swype why would you even get a phone with a hardware keyboard?

I agree the EVO has a more solid feel, but I attribute this to it being thinner, and not having the slider.

Disagree about the display, especially outside. Are you sure you had your brightness turned up?

Anyways, enjoy your EVO...
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
Hmmmm. My keyboard mechanism is anything but clunky. Smooth and crisp are words I'd use.
[Epic 4G General] Kif420:
To each his own. Have fun with your evo

Says this viper beast
[Epic 4G General] abrcrmdl23:
Dude why the **** would you leave the epic for the crappy evo when the official froyo update is about to drop Monday. Stupid.
[Epic 4G General] insanity213:
Mods, please close this thread. It's gonna get bad in here...
[Epic 4G General] mikey80021:
I almost got the Evo myself, instead of this epic. I couldn't be happier, as running a viper rom, and it goes flawlessly. Good luck on your choice, though.
[Epic 4G General] TheDub:
The Epic is a good phone.. but then again so is the Evo..

I can't say I really blame an enthusiast for backing down and choosing the Evo.. It's a thought I often scan ebay over. I wish I could have the epic with HTC's level of development.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
To buy an Evo now is kinda ridiculous. There are super phones coming out in like a matter of days. Nothing for Sprint that I know of, but still . . .

An enthusiast wouldn't be considering a single core phone at this point in time.
[Epic 4G General] TheDub:
It will be at least a year, if not more, before any form of the Android software truly uses the potential of dual cores.. yeah the OS is optimized for it beginning in 2.4 but I think the only benefits you're going to get is going to be in super high end games. Pretty sure 85% of my apps and everyday tools load instantly.. just saying, I think Android hardware is starting to grow faster then the software running on it.
[Epic 4G General] aleph23:
For what it's worth, I posted a thread in the evo section yesterday asking about trading the epic for evo w someone in my area. Got a positive response.

I'm waiting till monday, not because of a keyboard that doesn't work or a screen that is moderately brighter (yes, the tech is totally different, but on basis of looks alone, it's hard to see much difference side by side), but because the epic had a much nicer camera.

Of course, it's not made by Samsung...
[Epic 4G General] dustinmatthews87:
I have a white evo if anyone wants to trade for an epic
[Epic 4G General] pipskicks:
This is ridiculous.

I had a Hero. While I like HTC, even while not gaming, it is ridiculous to type sideways because the whole screen is covered by the keyboard.

If HTC made a phone with a keyboard with EVO-like specs maybe...
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
No. The SECOND you get the phone you can take 1080P videos, playback 1080P videos on the phone, output through HDMI, etc. You use the power the moment you get it. Also, the raw power will make the general experience around Android smooth as silk while also giving you better battery life.

All of that said, since when does an enthusiast do what is practical and not just get the latest cutting edge amazing hardware?
[Epic 4G General] PythonFanTN:
That right there is probably the question of the century. They had such a HUGE opportunity with the Shift, and they whiffed in a major way. I'm a rare bird I suppose in that I don't fall into the either/or between HTC & Samsung because I like and recommend both. But with HTC's history with great hardware (for their time) in terms of QWERTY phones (Tilt/TP/TP2) that yet were always handicapped by running WinMo, you would have thought that once the opportunity came along, especially with the popularity of the EVO, that when they finally released their first high end QWERTY Android phone, it would have been a grand slam home run. In that light, the Shift was a major disappointment not just on its own merits but especially so given HTC's history with QWERTY sliders being some of their crown jewels of the past.

Here's hoping the next QWERTY Android phone they come out with will be truly worthy of their heritage.
[Epic 4G General] PokeAsheep:
Have you used swype before, if yes, then why bother buying a keyboard phone? If not I could understand... but really, unless you wanted a keyboard in the first place (which it doesn't sound as such) why did you get the phone?

It is more solid feeling I agree. I've dropped m epic often enough :( but it hasn't broken, been marred, or really damaged in the least...and that's really where "solidness of build" comes in. (Also carrying around the evo, which is super heavy feeling by comparison, in my pocket all day...no thanks, lighter is better.)

...seriously. The difference is epic (pun intended)

Why did yo buy the phone. Really.

My problem with the op it seems more like a "this is how much your phone sucks so I am dropping it like a sack of potatos" sort of post than any sort of post wanting back/forth communication. How do you comment on a post like that without getting "grouchy" when it's a rant (albeit slightly less angry than normal rants)

We're not grouchy... the op was just....pointless.

Epic is as Epic does
[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
Someone wanting a back and forth communication wouldn't have titled the post "Ditching the Epic..." It's a fanboy post, we should let it die.
[Epic 4G General] bobdude5:
Get out of here you piece of trash! Youre not wanted here..we dont care about youre stupid moronic opinions. Youre ignorant and you have no right to be here. you act like you can just navigate your browser to the epic forum and spew youre filthy hateful words at us like this?? Youre WRONG! You're a sick human being. You should be locked up you rude jerk! I HATE you!

but i do miss the build quality of the evo. Very nice in the hand, but it just isnt as snappy as the epic. The evo shift is fast but that screen is too damn small
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
This thread has been closed, not due to the OP, but to the immature users who posted here to mock him. No these are not the best threads. But if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all. Otherwise, you'll find you really do have nothing to say as you'll have been banned.
[Nook Color General] macrobber:
Hello all,

I have a rooted NC running 2.1 off internal. I am interested in overclocking it (as this was not part of the original 'rooting' process. I was thinking about going to Froyo (2.2) or HC, but I like the stability of 2.1. I guess I have two questions. 1) Stability of 2.2? Is it stable enough for daily use? If so, does this require a complete restore to stock and re-root? 2) If I want to overclock it (using the procedures listed in another thread) do I have to re-root as well as the kernel is different? You can probably see where I am headed with this. If 2.2 is stable enough, and if overclocking requires a rebuild anyway, does it make sense to just go ahead and step up to 2.2 then follow the directions to OC it.

Hope this makes sense and I look forward to hearing your advice....
[Nook Color General] jcollierdavis:
I can't answer all your questions, but have experience in one area.

I rooted with autonooter and have stuck with 2.1 eclair. I think I'm going to stick with it until a daily driver HC comes out.

I just flashed a 1ghz kernel with CWR. It took all of 30 seconds, works perfectly so far, and is noticeably faster.

Quadrant scores right at 1100 with setcpu running on performance.

As much as I brought his nook to experiment with, I do want to use it daily and not be constantly fixing it.

Sent from a NookColor using the xda app
[Nook Color General] macrobber:
Sorry for the stupid follow up question. So you can flash just the kernel without having to install from scratch?
[Nook Color General] TJNooker:
That is correct.
[Networking] Dr. Hax:
I was on the Clearwire website the other day, and decided to look at their coverage map. I was bored :p

I zoom in on richmond, durr, they have WiMAX. Lol

I looked for little hints of WiMAX by zooming out, and I saw the reassuring green! Around Norfolk and Portsmouth!!

Not much of it but its there. Those of you with EVO's and Epics in Norfolk and Portsmouth, can y'all confirm that you have 4G service there? Does anything happen when you turn on 4G over there?

And I found it funny how much effort they seem to put into making the service available in the water, if you look at the map, they try to cover the water more than the land lol. I guess fish need WiMAX, too xD

I just want y'all to know its coming, and to see if you can actually get it to work. I have Verizon, so I don't know much about WiMAX lol
[Networking] zpasc002:
I was able to connect to 4g in downtown Norfolk this morning but the signal was gone before I reached ODU

Has the signal gotten any better now? Lol.

At the time cyanogen brought a lot of features we now use everyday. Os optimizations apps to sd. Things lf that nature. It is fully opensource and open to anyone to use.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duboi97:
The ability to customize the phone, the stability, the speed, the battery life, and it gives phones the the g1/dream froyo which I guess was deemed impossible. It also gives users great support and updates quite frequently.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
Plus it is a large group of people that work collectively together, they along with a few others are the ones that the leading "cutting edge" devs........ they blazed the trail and now all of us and the current devs benefit from their work.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VeryCoolAlan:
Yea. Since its built from scratch it is faster than any roms here.

The g1 roms were same speed rooted or not

When cm came it was fast! And then a rom based on cm called super d was even faster and then a european rom was fastest!

So what I'm trying to say is, CM is and will be faster than the ROMs built here overclocked or not because the ROMs found here are based on the Official Froyo made by Samsung not a Vanilla Gingerbread rom built from scratch

So I think something built frrom scratch is better than something just modified and themed
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synaesthetic:
It's built from scratch using the AOSP source, which a lot of ROMs are not (many ROMs are merely modified versions of existing stock ROMs).

It has an extensive amount of customization and flexibility beyond any other ROM I've ever used on an Android device.

I don't mind the ROM I'm running on my Vibrant, but I miss CyanogenMod. Since the CM7 release candidate for the MT4G just hit, I think it's time for me to change it up a bit. :) I'm tired of my short-range wifi (seriously, less than full bars when I'm only six feet away from my 802.11n router?), non-functional GPS and totally wonky compass, anyway.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arkasai:
I think one of its advantages is the sheer size of the community, if you've ever used various Linux distributions the same concept applies. When your user base expands to the point where you've got dozens if not hundred of loyal users posting guides, reporting bugs, requesting features, and answering new user's questions the community really feeds on itself and builds momentum. Cyanogen is largely responsible for a lot of the momentum in the rom community, and I know it's brought more people to the community than almost any other project.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caticorn:
A lot of things.

The cyanogenmod options alone are worth it - VM Heap, swap, JIT, compcache, et cetera. Granted these things are more relevant to lower end devices. Then there's the native ADW launcher integration. I've never been about to replace the stock launcher with ADW and get the same results.

It's really just its use in practice. Everything works, the interface is very instant/responsive (no jagged animations/scrolling, ever), no force closes, lots of mods/hacks for it from the community, which in general is very scrutinous about performance/stability hangups. Battery life twice what you're use to.

They're the only ROM team I've donated to. I flashed hundreds of roms when I had my Magic (one of the hardware-weakest android phones) but CM is what kept it up to par, giving me an extra generation's life out of it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbbb:
I personally love all the features built in, like pulldown menu modifications, as well as pretty much customizing every aspect, NO roms like that exist for our Vibrants..
