BTW im on 2.5.1.3 recovery
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
How's it run? Let it settle in a little, an then can you give a real world feel? I don't care for synthetic benchmarks like Quadrant and Linpack. They may yield great numbers, and the phone is sluggish. Or, they may yield horrible results, but the phone FLIES, lol. Just want to get actual user experience, if you could. Oh, and clock speed you're set at.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] swhtownboy:
Ok, this is kind of weird. I did a fresh wipe and installed the ROM, but it still had some of my old setting from my previous ROM. I was able to clear everything with a second wipe. My mod version still says SparksMod Extra HotSauce V0.2....not sure why
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
Because you're still on SparksMod. The build didn't flash properly, just gave the illusion of it. Guess he'll have to fix the script and reup tomorrow. Thanks for testing and reporting back!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] swhtownboy:
right now im testing at 1.5 min and max...very fast and smooth
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] swhtownboy:
that explains it...even my boot animation was still from spark
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nprussell:
Post your update(r) script and I will see where the problem is for you. I hope this is your own work - I notice your last ROMs were taken down for them being kanged.

One of them kanged from me personally. But hey ho, forgive and forget etc. You have to learn somewhere. Just get in the habit of crediting/thanking developers who contribute towards your work and that'll keep you from making enemies around here! :)

If this is your own work, I wish you all the luck with it, and would be happy to help you out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] troby1986:
Ok, thanks. I will post the updater-script here later. I am at work now. Sorry for not clearly stating the sources of my last ROM by the way.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] troby1986:
I'm gonna be at work till late this evening, would you be able to download the .zip, and look over the updater-script? Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
Any updates about the Script?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
Hm,not working with recovery 3.0.0.5!

After full wipe I`m still on previous ROM :confused:

Manually mounting/formating system,data etc.I`m stuck on

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinoyz:
My MT4G is already unlocked so that's already covered.

I know that Tmo uses the UMTS IV band which is the 1700/2100 MHz and in the Philippines they just use the 2100 MHz frequency, so I'm wondering if I can still get 3g speeds or will I only be able to get EDGE speeds?

Thanks guys!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aZzz.bZzz:
my MT4G works in Kazakhstan. we have european 3G bands (2100)

so, YES. it WILL work
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinoyz:
Alright! Thanks for that info. :) Hope it would really work when I go there this summer.
[Defy General] bkuu:
ever since I updated to 2.2, no matter what rom I'm using..performance has been so poor compared to 2.1. I wish I never updated. My battery runs out quick, temperature goes up to 100F even when idle and my phone hangs every time I turn on wifi. Hopefully I find out a solution soon, i've been flashing and uninstalling roms all day these past two days. I love the phone though don't get me wrong =\
[Defy General] naenee:
That sounds quite odd.

Are you using an unmodified SBF, or are you using a release where the author/publisher has made a lot of changes? When having problems, it may be best to stick to one release and try to narrow down your problems, instead of trying many different releases and introducing new variables into the mix.

Are you overclocking your phone - perhaps it's causing the rise in temperature? Or are you running a lot of widgets? There may be some widgets that use the system too aggressively, causing too much strain/heat.
[Defy General] Valdis1977:
Hi! Did you do "wipe" before and after flashing?
[Defy General] Beach_Head:
That is very odd. I am on Froyo and performance has been phenomenal ever since the flash.

I agree with naenee, check the ROM you're flashing...
[Defy General] bkuu:
i flashed the UK 3.4.2-117 and right now using Pay's 2.1 rom. I remember that I did wipe data/cache before flashing and after flashing. IDK, im just not having problem's with this particular rom..it seems like it happens on all the other ones im trying. I get random freezes and especially when I toggle on wifi. I recently installed setVEL and will see if battery improves, this means i don't need milestone right? I'm also using setCPU.

I might try to flash 3.4.2_131-003 PL version. Will it cause any trouble and can I go back down to UK 3.4.2-117?
[Defy General] Beach_Head:
Seeing as it uses the same kernel, you should be able to do so...
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
I have been using the orange 2.2 for several days and no specific problem is noted.
[Defy General] bkuu:
well I reinstalled pays rom first and everything is working good. No more hang ups or freezes but I still can't get the battery to last as long.My phone is mostly idled, running on 2G, just one widget, and everything in settings turned down to the least minimal settings..im talking about battery saver, screen brightness all the way down..everything off! 6 hours in and im already on 70%. I can live with that but I'm using setVsel and I know it could do better. Anyone know another way I can make my battery last longer?
[Defy General] ngfletcher:
I'm running Pays latest rom based on the UK 3.4.2 and it runs great. I'm also using setvsel (as every defy user should) and optimized all my vsels (16@300, 28@600, 44@900) using stability test. I haven't had a 'normal' day of use yet, but with heavy use (installing apps, web browsing, flashing rom) I've gotten at least a full day (~15 hrs) out of a charge.

I recommend minimizing your vsels using setvsel, then judging your battery life. Check out the setvsel thread for more help.
[Defy General] Dewman4life:
And remember this is a smart phone, some people report getting 2 to 3 days of use out of it. That's basically idle time tho. These new smart phones are just that, and use much more battery than the Dumbphone.
[Defy General] Step666:
Even if that's the case (and I dispute it, I use my phone a fair amount in the ~3 days the battery averages), it still doesn't explain why the OP's phone is dropping 30% in 6 hours while idling.
[Defy General] Dewman4life:
When I updated to froyo, my battery life went from about 15 hours of use to 21 hours between charges. So I'm thinking the op has an app doing the draining.
[Defy General] hah2110:
Unfortunately, this is a characteristic of Android.... Ridiculously inconsistent in the battery department.
[Defy General] darule_2011:
Wife's phone is on official froyo, has been amazing since updated (a few weeks ago) but since yesterday some weird reason it's been super glitchy and freezing up. Not sure why...haven't changed anything to it and she's only downloaded an app or two (such as pandora) in the last couple days...I was playing around with it trying to figure out what was up...can't figure it out. I went into titanium backup to freeze some apps thinking maybe some blur crap was freezing it up but TB froze up so I can't even get in there. Also, same as OP, the battery has been heating up really quick lately, especially when on wifi.

Not sure what's up here...but I'm hoping nothing serious! Will keep you all updated on this...we'll see if there is a trend going on here.
[Defy General] drsouly:
check your cpu usage... if it's constantly arround 99%, you may experience the "usb-plug/unplug"-bug.

try enabling usb debug and restart your phone.
[Defy General] naenee:
I would rather say it is a characteristic of people using android, to have widely different usage patterns, causing differences in how long a charge lasts for each.
[Defy General] Pallmalli:
Hi there. Have you tried to recalibrate the battery? There is an app on the marke called Battery Calibrator. From what I understand if you play with roms the battery can give you problems so it need to be calibrated again. I hope this can help.
[Defy General] bokeron2020:
For those interested... I'm having a problem, I don't know yet if it's a bug or a hardware defect.

My phones wastes A LOT of battery while it should be suspended.

I've tracked the problem to, apparently, Motorola's SIM driver. From what I've discovered so far, the SIM isn't accepting the suspend state and therefore the "suspend" process uses too much CPU time... all of this when the phone is, supposedly, saving battery.

As I can't get a motorola engineer involved, I can't say for sure if this is the true cause... but it's the closer I've got to a diagnostic, so far.

Your problem might or not be related to this, but if you're interested about what I've found or what my kernel log looks like so you can compare with your own problem... this is the thread at motorola's owner forum:

[HTC Inspire 4G] bigb2k01:
Hey im new to XDA but so far i like it a lot looks like a bunch of great people. I'm eligible for and upgrade and am seriously considering the Inspire any reasons i shouldn't get or should i wait for the new latest and greatest willing to listen to anybody opinions let me know what you guys think
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
I've been watching the conference coverage happening in Spain right now (Barcelona, right?) through Engadget. So far I haven't seen anything that is making me P.O.'ed at purchasing the inspire.

The future is dual core processors apparently, but reaping these benefits is still a ways off... Enough for me to enjoy the inspire, and possibly purchase a new phone in a year when LTE is rollin'. I really don't have the best handle on this stuff so don't quote me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Androidude:
I'm wondering the same thing. I've heard rumors that the Samsung Galaxy S II will be coming to AT&T. I would like a new phone now since I am eligible for an upgrade, but as soon as the S II rolls around I'm afraid I'll be regretting the Inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pheno.menon:
You won't.. I bought the Inspire just to get away from Samsung (they don't care about their customers and never release updates), and am so glad I did.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Androidude:
But if I'm rooting it doesn't really matter what Samsung decides to do. AT&T hasn't updated to Froyo on my Aria, but I'm running CM7 so I don't really care.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
This.

The Captivate, without the help of XDA is a crap phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
It does matter. Without an official Froyo release, there won't be official Kernel source code. The Captivate ROMS are GOOD, but they are pieced together with source from other models.

The reasons there isn't CM7 on the captivate are there's no other phone similar enough to it unlike the Aria, so no source, and the fact that they used a very borked up file system and without kenel source, it's virtually impossible to re-write the file system and not have something else be flakey.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bigb2k01:
thanks for the help so far guys any more opinions would be appreciated
[HTC Inspire 4G] PsylockeSmythe:
I would say go ahead and get the Inspire it is a nice phone and I don't have any regrets buying mine. I also look at it this way.

If you wait for the next latest and greatest phone to be released; you might as well not buy anything. Since; when it comes to tech toys; once anything is released to market; from CPU's to graphic cards to smart phones to tablets; there is always something in the works that will make it old tech within a few months. So chasing the latest and greatest becomes a game that you most likely will loose.

There's so many note apps out there.

What do u guys use and prefer?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneUp03:
I'm using EverNote currently it has a good number of features - uploading notes to online account, taking pictures, recording audio.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruceko86:
I just use colornotes. I needed password protection. However I wish Andriod had better looking notes app with better UI like the stock iphone one.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPyroGuy 09:
I primarily use Evernote, because I can sync it across all my devices, Macbook, PC, iPod, Phones.

How ever I recently started testing out springpad, I like the layout of it, but there is no apps for laptops of any kind just the website.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandam500:
I use and love AK Notepad
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] missparker76:
I use Evernote as I want my notes to be synchronized with my PC. It also has a practical widget.

I have also tried BI Notes. I may switch to that application when the synchonization feature is released (they have planned to implement it).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtang:
GDocs Notepad

I use GDocs Notepad because it syncs with Google Documents. That way I can see my notes on my phone and on my PC (or any PC for that matter).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogier666:
Papyrus Ex. I make its notes folder sync with Dropbox.

Since the notes are stored as plain text I can open them on any device, even if they don't have my notes app installed (except for my encrypted notes).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilcuber:
I use evermore because I can easilly sync my notes to my computer.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pearse:
I've used AK Notepad for the longest time because its quick, simple and has great online backup. My personal fav is XM Notes (miui notes app) but it doesn't seem to work on CM7 :(

If you want a notes app that looks as nice as the iphone one try Classic Notes Lite. I also use NotesWidget for a widget similar in function to the htc notes one.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grundoko:

[About XDA developers] SouL Shadow:
Hi all. Been on xda for a bit and just want to point out some problems I've noticed and some possible improvements. These are mainly based upon my experience in the HTC Evo and Hero (sprint) forums.

1: With the ever expanding volume of new threads and posts, it's easy for things to slip through unnoticed. It's also just as difficult to find relevant information simply by browsing a forum or topic. While searching can help, it doesn't address the other aspects, such as browsing to find something new.

Possible, partial solution:

Reorganize the forums. More specificly, create more sub-forums to more closely resemble a tree structure. Start with one forum for each manufacturer plus one for xda. Then, under each manufacturer, there are sub-forums for each device. Then in turn it's divided by interest (general, q&a, dev, etc...). Next, divide those up in to more fine tuned sections, such as: HTC->Evo->Development->ROMS and HTC->Evo->Development->General Discussion and HTC->Evo->Development->Kernels and HTC->Evo->Development->Root Methods ... err, you get the point.

2: Too many old/out dated topics confusing newer members/visitors. First thing that comes to mind: old root methods. Of course no one wants to delete these once relevant topics, but at some point they should he moved to an "archive" section of the sub-forum or the information could be collected and condensed in to reference topics.

Hopefully these simple approaches can help make the forums a little easier to navigate, especially if you don't have anything specific to search for.

[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
There are technical limitations with having too deep a tree of nested fora.
[About XDA developers] SouL Shadow:
Sorry if I rambled on. Just a thought. Personally it's frustrating trying to weed through hundreds of topics looking for the few that interest me, especially in the -dev forums. Try finding the few technical tidbits mixed in with hundreds of ROM topics!

Maybe, as a start, break out the ROMs from the -dev forums in to their own forum. In most cases they are less development and more end user packages anyway.

99% of the time I'm browsing via the xda app and it takes forever to browse loading 10 topics at a time.

-SLS-
[About XDA developers] oisteink:
Your issue is that the forum is full of users that don't comply to the rules and they're not feeling the banhammer. It's not so much about finding the right place its about low quality posts.

IMHO XDA needs to remove the rule that you can't post in dev threads until you've spamed some open forum 10 times, and start banning users that don't comply with the rules. It's a lot of work in the start, but once your users are trained it will be pretty mundane.

I follow the Xperia X8 forum myself, and in perticular [ROM] X8 | Sense | 2.1 | 2.2 | 2.3 | xRecovery [WiP]. The thread was moderated days ago, only to be instantly refilled with the same type of comments.

I'd like to post my own findings in those threads but I'm not gonna try and spam some forums just to get the 10 needed posts. I'll post my findings on other forums or in PM's until you manage to moderate properly.
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
As one of the more prolific banning mods here (:D) I think we do a fairly good job of dealing with what we are aware of.

The issue is what we're not aware of. There's well in excess of half a million threads on XDA. With new ones appearing constantly, and old ones being bumped from long ago, it is impossible to find the troublemakers.

The report post feature is your friend :)

I hate flamers and trolls as much as you (if not more :D). If you press this wonderful button, then it gives us a link to the thread, and makes sure we're aware of what's going on.

You are correct that it is QUALITY that is the issue. Any low quality posts (flames/trolls/spammers) that are reported will be sorted as soon as we can :)
[About XDA developers] SouL Shadow:
Well, my problem is not with the quality of the posts, rather the sheer numbers. All I'd like to see is some further separation. Move the ROM threads to their own sub-forum to help expose the other non-rom development threads that get lost in the masses.

On a totally separate note:

Of course there will be sub-par posts, but that should be left to the thread originator (and possibly other designated moderators) to handle. Perhaps an IRC approach would work well. (ircops vs. chanops) You have your site moderators responsible for site wide issues. Then forum moderators to maintain each forum and it's sub-forums. Then thread moderators (thread owners and possibly other owner designated users) to maintain their individual thread.

There's never going to be a perfect solution, but with some level of separation, coupled with proper management and delegation of responsibility, then issues can be both minimized and dealt with more effectively. This approach would (should) also free up higher level moderators to deal with larger issues instead of micro-managing individual threads.

-SLS-
[About XDA developers] SouL Shadow:
BTW, it's not my opinion that we need more moderation, but instead more fine grained control. Let the owners control their thread. Let the forum/sub-forum mods shape their forum and supervise the thread owners and intervene where and when needed. And let the site mods maintain the overall flow and well-being of the site.

-SLS-
[About XDA developers] Captainkrtek:
We already have that setup of forum moderators and site wide moderators. We have Forum Specific Moderators and Senior Moderators. Senior moderators are responsible for site wide moderation and Forum Specific Moderators act in their designated area. We adopted this approach last summer and in some senses it has been successful for keeping certain fora under control, but like all systems we have many areas to improve on.

i dont like the limitations! i would like to post on things i like and not have to post 10 times in the q&a section WTF i only read the posts i care about and would like to post on them
[About XDA developers] oka1:
no offense but this is such a small requirement just post more. In fact it is easy to get 10 posts.

The restriction is just a way to get people to start thinking in terms of the forum, its protocol. This helps the community.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MNA1:
Hi Trip, I hope you read this as i am new and cannot post in your thread about the new rom. I have installed it on my x10a. It has the same bugs as everyone else mentioned. But i have noticed two more things

1) After using root explorer the i got a message saying that the "it is safe to remove the sd card".

2) The Gallery is very slow, its like lagging too much.

3) The Quadrant benchmark does not work

Apart from these problems everything is working fine and very smooth. Good job, looking forward to seeing a new version with fixes soon.

update:

1)I downloaded astro and after going through some files, the phone restarted again with the same message "it is safe to remove the sd card".

2)I could not find astro pro in the market which means there is some problem with the signature of the market or something
