Good advice here.

Regarding roms, I have to say that I think the new SyndicateROM Frozen 1.0 (1.0.1 is almost out) is a solid replacement from stock. People have had issues with bad flashes (thx CW3) but once it's installed properly the battery lasts hours longer, it's incredibly quick, and has a number of improvements over stock. Keep in mind I wasn't using roms before this due to requiring the stability of stock (was on the stock rooted EB13), but am in heaven since I switched over. The rom is amazing. None of the instability issues I have had with my previous phones+roms.

I haven't tried the Bonzai rom though, heard that was stable and good as well.
[Epic 4G General] ZenInsight:
Agreed. SyndicateROM seems to be the best and most stable ROM right now. That is until CM7 is done. Then everyone will burn out to Gingerbread.

By the way...did you go with Ext4 or RFS?
[Epic 4G General] tpike:
I have not had any issues with viper frozen or trulyepic. Trulyepic was my first. Very simple both flashy and stable. Ext4 is super fast too.
[Epic 4G General] ichefae85:
I think I'll try bonsai and then try others and compare because it might be personal preference also and at the same time I really appreciate everyone's input and will put everyone's advice to good use! You all are awesome
[Epic 4G General] tpike:
Keep in mind that roms on the same modem you can flash between much easier.

[Epic 4G General] mikey80021:
Also been on Viper for the last few releases. Have not had issues as of yet. You'll get quite a few opinions, but all the devs here do a great job on their roms. :-)

[Epic 4G General] kapalua:
I intend on trying multiple roms......right now I am on the sideline waiting for some of the significant issues (ie CIQ) to be resolved before I flash. Only a day or two away I believe.
[Epic 4G General] Animas1020:
When I first came to the Epic modding world, I started off using ViperRom. ViperRom has a lot of those cutting edge, sometimes experimental, mods. The new toys (and their themes are generally aesthetically pleasing) are nice, but may cause stability issues. I then switched to MidNightRom and was VERY pleased with it. It is based off the Bonsai ROM and is slimmed down for performance and stability. No complaints there, But I am currently using the ACS Frozen ROM, and I am VERY pleased with it as well. Speed and performance all around. So far, that is all I have tried.

Everything will vary based on user, but all the devs here put a lot of work into what they do and any ROM you flash will be an upgrade from stock in my opinion.

Right now midNightROM with the Baked 2.0 kernel is really smooth for me....but a lot of good stuff right around the corner!
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Midnight has always been good, and the next versions of Bonsai and Syndicate are both looking real interesting, I wish they'd drop already. I've been sitting on the sidelines using stock EB13 waiting for them. Should be out any minute now.
[Epic 4G General] zenvita:
Don't forget about Supernova. Been running it for 4 days and only have 1 problem. On you tube it plays the sound through the ear speaker not the louder speaker.

I think they have a new Rom coming soon and will give it a try.

I've been a fan of ACS for a long time. Back to DI18.

I will move to it probably after the next release when the mail client works.
[Epic 4G General] mikey80021:
CM7 is in it's alpha release, but is running strong, and will only get better!

CM7 ON MY EPIC!
[Epic 4G General] Ree$e:
Cant wait to try cm7! Im still stock just waiting to see what happens.
[Epic 4G General] Robyn25:
I'm on SyndicateRom Frozen 1.0.2 and it is running beautifully so far. My first rom was SRF 1.0.1 so I am very new to this. The upgrade from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2 was super easy and will look forward to hopefully more easy transitions as they update the rom.

Do I have to change back to 2.5.1.3 in order to install Cyanogen Mods ?

Ive googled but can't find this actual info anywhere...

Cheers in advance, and thanks to all for your hard work :D

You need cwm 3.x to flash cm7 & gapps, it sounds to me like you have a corrupted download your system should flash fine as it is so just try re-downloading the nightly

Ive just tried with the new RC modified (posted today) and Android RevolutionHD 3.0...

boh say (bad) when I try to install them (using Clockwork 3.0.0.5)

The checksums are fine though, I don't understand..... :/
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aftertzf:
weird... rebooted, reset Clockwork to 3.0.0.5

Copied the ROMs to a subfolder on sdcard and rebooted to recovery.

[G Tablet General] Aelemar:
Hello! Today I received my new G-Tablet, but immediately noticed what seems a black spot on top of the screen (I haven't even turned it on yet) I tried to clean it off but it doesn't come off at all, I have looked at it closely and it projects a shadow downwards, which is why I believe it's right on top of the screen. I have no idea how it impacts the actual image on the screen since I just received the tablet, but I am a bit concerned that it will show quite clearly once I turn it on. Any suggestions on how to remove this "dirt"? Thanks!

I read the other posts but it seems that they were about dirt under the screen, which I don't believe is my case.

Thanks!
[G Tablet General] geomez:
When I received my gtab it had multiple speces of dust under the screen. I asked about it here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=903360

Apparently I wasn't the only one.

I returned my gtab and exchanged it for a new one. I explained my problem to the retailer and the new one they sent me was perfect. :cool:
[G Tablet General] gator2k83:
are u sure its on the screen and not in the frame. if in the frame in the upper left by the power button and under where the volume buttons are its the light sensor thats used to auto adjust the lcd brightness. there is another spot like that on the screen in the lower left its where the led for power and charge is.
[G Tablet General] seadooxp30:
mine was like that too. Did you order from amazon by any chance? :-)
[G Tablet General] Aelemar:
Well I did order from Amazon actually, in the end I just returned it, my replacement should arrive Monday. Hopefully this one is without problems, for I am dying to "mess" with my Gtablet! I have rooted and whatnot my Incredible and I enjoy it greatly XD
[G Tablet General] geomez:
It took me a month to get mine back after sending it in for an exchange.

Longest month of my life.

Now I'm in heaven, Swyping across a 10" screen.

[G Tablet General] Aelemar:
Oh wow a month?!? Damn XD I guess I am lucky... My replacement tablet is already on the way with a delivery estimate of March 7. The Amazon page says "it's being prepared for shipment" but they are sending it with one-day shipping and should arrive Monday. I guess I am lucky :o I really hope that this one has no issues though... I am going to use an Ipad screen protector on the screen of it until my Skinomi screen protector arrives :D

It took a month because I sent it back right after Christmas. Guess they were backed up with returns.
[Fascinate General] sengokubattosai:
Okay I am going to ask this in the Fascinate forum because while I have seen it on other forums, it has been about other devices so I just want to see what people say for the one I have.

I had my wifi on yesterday and I forgot to turn it off so it ended up staying on all day. I noticed that my battery had not drained as fast as it usually does when I use it normally throughout the day (with wifi off). I was wondering if anybody else thought their battery lasted longer when running wifi instead of 3G.

Sorry if this has come up before, I just wanted to ask for my specific device.

Is she trying to sell me something or is it true?
[Xoom General] Nvrenough:
No need for data plan. Not required unless your getting it for 599 :)

So wifi will work? No need to connect to Verizon network or something first to activate it?

edit: I know the question sounds silly, but I don't want to book a flight back to the US to enable Wifi :D

I was in a similar situation concerning flight back, but there is no need in it.

Best Buy Sucks

Dont buy anything from BestBuy. They employ mostly idiots that dont have a friggin clue. I mostly have to go in there in a pinch for a cable and end up teaching them a thing or two about their own products.
[Xoom General] bc14nj:
It works just fine without activation.
[Xoom General] fauxreal:
Ok don't take this for %100 fact, but here is my two cents. If the Xoom is anything like the Galaxy Tab for Verizon this should be pretty accurate. I just sold my Galaxy Tab last night to a friend, I did a hard reset to get all my stuff off the device prior to giving it to him and when it booted back up I had to "activate" the device before I could use it again. In other words, you select a language and from there it takes you to a screen to activate the Tab, and unless you can connect to Verizons network (aka: pay them for a data subscription) you cannot activate the device or progress past this screen to actually use the tab. It is essentially a worthless device until this is complete. I had to call Verizon and have them hook the service back up to the device for literally less than 1 minute so I could activate it and then have them turn it back off right away. They will charge you for a full day of service of course, $1.16 to be exact. I made them credit it back to my acct however. No way I am paying a dollar something for 30 seconds of service just so I can sell it. I had read a statement from Verizon that they won't make you pay any charges if you purchase a Xoom there without getting a plan with it, but Best Buy may still be doing it. Sorry for the long post, hope it helped.
[Xoom General] codeman05:
I got mine from Best Buy last Friday (had some gift cards to use up)...no Verizon activation...the tablet and wifi works just fine.

The girl you spoke with had no idea what she was talking about.
[Xoom General] dwboston:
Activation is not required on a full-price Xoom, even at VZW. When the activation screen pops up on the first boot, there is a button to skip it, and WiFi will work with no problem.
[Xoom General] freemsk1:
I also had to reset it while unlocking bootloader. Could not remember if there was an activation prompt, but in case it was there, it was successfully skipped and WiFi still works
[Xoom General] freemsk1:
So I'm not mistaking, it was there ;) so I skipped it :)
[Xoom General] blozout:
No Activation required. Verizon even announced it the evening before launch that they were no longer requiring it (assuming you buy at full price of course). This affects all retail locations, Best Buy, Costco, VZW stores, etc...The Best Buy girl is ill-informed. Skip the activation screen upon start up and the Xoom boots normally with full wifi functionality.
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
2 things stand out here:

1. best buy employee - if they really knew what they were talking about, they would have better jobs

2. it's a girl - is an explanation really necessary?

:p
[Xoom General] erzhik:
Lol, that's what I do about 90% of the time when in BB. But when I got my Xoom, the lady at the mobile section was actually knowledgeable about Xoom.
[Xoom General] atoy74:
Lie. I mean, she might not be able to sell you one without a data plan cause of store policy but there's no technical reason. Initial startup has a wifi option. Also, both Verizon and Motorola have officially stated you do not need to sign up.
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
Another reason is that they most likely get a commission when they sell you a contract so of course they are trying to push it.
[Xoom General] LordLugard:
Before the Xoom launch, it had been required, but a few days before the official launch a memo was circulated that that requirement had been done away with. Maybe she didn't get the company-wide memo or read it.

Also, BestBuy is only selling it for $799 outright. They will not be doing the $599 with data plan deal like the Verizon stores are doing. Off contract pricing only.
[Xoom General] LordLugard:
No, they don't get commissions. BBY does not pay commissions. Also products like tablets have been moved from the Mobile dept to the Computer dept, and the compter salespeople definitely are not paid commission, only hourly.

Someone was just not informed or didn't know their job properly or read up on the Xoom playbook launch memo. It happens.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
There is a bypass for the samsung also, but on the xoom you just select activate on wifi. No need for service.
[Xoom General] Blade765:
Not entirely true. I was able to get my xoom for $599 with a contract from best buy. They just had to price match it. :-)
[Xoom General] AndroidFileHost:
I had to activate at cosco but I called Verizon the next day an they canceled my plan and refunded the activation fee.
[Xoom General] LordLugard:
That's the point. THEY WEREN'T supposed to. Lots of folks got into trouble for it, big trouble. Xoom is only outright $799 at bestbuy, no matching VZW's $599 with contract deal. Word from above.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tag4:
Going through root explorer I noticed I have sd card and sd card-ext. The internal hard drive is the sd card so when I tell the phone to store to sd it saves it on the phone and not the memory card, for example pictures. Can we correct this some how?

to card?

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stangdroid68:
Hey all, I'm running a rooted 2.1 Eris. I used the Eris one click root app and I'm running zanfur's Kernel. I didn't think I was supposed to be able to get OTA updates once rooted, but this morning I started recieving the annoying "update now" message. It comes back up every 30 minutes when I press "update later," so I'd kinda like to be able to fix that... What happens if I do the OTA update? Would I just have to re-root my phone afterwards? I was reading some speculation that the update may make re-rooting difficult... Either way, I'm clueless as to what I should do right now. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyderkoz:
It will keep bugging you and then it will do a force update. I say let it update then just reroot... sometimes the updates will start installing but because you are rooted it will fail and then go away
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattamous:
Pretty sure this is what happened to mine this morning when I tried it. I didn't even think about, just hit "Continue" then realized it didn't work...
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
If you have a custom recovery on the phone (which would be the case with the One-Click app), then you can just hit "accept". The phone will reboot into recovery, as if it was going to do the update, but it will fail immediately in the recovery without causing any changes to occur. After that, you will not get update "nag" screens any longer.

If you want to be ultra-conservative about it, you can boot into recovery and make a Nandroid backup before you accept the update in the regular OS. Making backups regularly is a good practice anyway. Strictly speaking, it is not necessary in this particular case (and moreover, the saved state of that backup will have the "nag" behavior still present).

Apply the update. If it fails, you will need to look into other means of upgrading. If it passes, you win. If it fails, and won't boot afterwards, you may need to wipe, but all should be normal afterwards.

By installing a custom recovery, either ClockWorkMod (through ROM Manager from the market) or Amon_Ra, which is my preferred choice, but you have to flash it using adb.
