[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggeorgef:
I'm gonna install CyanogenMod-6.1 on my daughters stock Nexus One. I've flashed roms and kernels on my Vibrant, but I'm a little nervous about the Nexus.

1. Backup apps with Titanium backup

2. Do a hard reset

3. Root the phone with Superboot

3. Install Rom Manager

4. Install CyanogenMod directly from Rom Manager

5. Restore apps with Titanium Backup

Is this the right method?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptor402:
Hey

I would recommend using one-click root method. Also, since you aren't rooted already, titanium backup won't work. My recommendation would be the following:

1. Download and install VISIONary from MoDaCO (http://android.modaco.com/content/software/320350/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/)

2. Use temp root in VISIONary.

3. Download Titanium backup from the market and backup all your apps.

4. Download Rom Manager from the market and flash clockwork recovery through it.

5. Download CM 6.1.0 through Rom Manager or however you wish to and flash it through clockwork mod recovery.

6. Restore apps through Titanium backup.

But I'm not sure if VISIONary works with Gingerbread (if you installed the 2.3.3 OTA). You'll have to confirm that from someone.

Regards

Raptor
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
If you are already on 2.3.3, you only have 2 options to root:

1 - unlock the bootloader and root

2 - revert to an older version of android and root

Both these methods will wipe your data, and the best non-root backup solution seems to be MyBackup. You can also use other apps to backup other things (APN settings, SMS, etc).

I suggest reading the wiki first, and then asking more specific questions...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggeorgef:
Thank you for the replies.

It went very simple... the phone had SU installed. Downloaded Rom manager and Titanium backup, backup'd the apps and the stock rom, and then flashed CM6 directly from Rom manager. The whole thing took about 20-mins.

I was a little disappointed with the Quadrant score... it was listed below N1 by around 200 points - even after the 10-min reboot.

The phone does run much more smoothly though.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wickediis:
Did you run Quadrant just once?

If there isn't any improvement over time of use, I suggest a different Kernel.

Flash through recovery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggeorgef:
Thanks. You have any suggestions for a Kernel with CM 6.1.1?

Can someone explain to me why I always have different applications that I didn't specifically start listed in my task killer? I am trying to get a handle on the battery life of my CM7 14 NC. I am pretty new to android and have a hunch that it is something simple that I am missing. TIA.

http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/
[Nook Color General] JLCollier2005:
As has already been implied, don't use task killers. Apps start up and shut down on their own and Android has a built in 'task killer'. I found that when I was using a task killer, my phone ran at maybe 10% faster (due to less running on the ram), but the battery life actually was worse by a good margin. IMO, the Nook runs really well (especially if you OC it) and the battery life can better be controlled in other ways. Turning it off when not in use, unlike a phone (because you need it on to make a call, of course), will save a lot of battery. Also, SetCPU can be used to set profiles, they will save you on battery a lot. Disable auto-update and notifications for apps unless you really need them. use the power control and set it to where you can turn the brightness down low on the fly and keep it down unless you need it up. Sure, the screen looks beautiful when bright, but unless you're playing a game or watching a video, you don't need a bright screen.

Sorry for the rant, hope maybe it helps a little. Also, the more updates we have the better battery life will be.
[Nook Color General] harrijs:
Thanks for the heads up on this. I had not read that article before. I will uninstall the task killer and see what happens to my battery life. The other suggestions about turning off auto updates makes sense also.
[Nook Color General] luciferii:
Donot use setcpu or set profiles with cm7!
[Nook Color General] JLCollier2005:
why not? I know it has built in monitoring, but it seems to me they work together.
[Nook Color General] luciferii:
cm7 already has profiles built into it under the cyanogenmod settings in the settings app! if you run both you are running the same thing twice and wasting both performance and power.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggwsbi:
I’m having problems with the vibrant and am hoping people on the forum could help me with it. I have tried to research on the xda and also android forums but I haven’t come across anyone with similar problems I have encountered.

I first got the vibrant last December and did one upgrade through the software update on the phone. Since then I have rooted the phone (with the tips posted on the sticky board on xda forum) and flashed a custom rom once with ease (Eugene – Ginger clone final R2). I was on Ginger clone for a month and was pretty happy about it.

I recently tried to flash new roms (Eugene – Vibrant 4G and TW – Bionix Frost 2.2.1) without success. I kept getting the error about “signature verification failed”. After several attempts, I brick the phone.

I was able to get to download mode, used Eugene’s no brick, and odin it back. Now the phone is running on Éclair; JFD and kernel 2.6.29. I was able to flash Eugene Vibrant 4G, but not TW Bionix Frost. I even odin it back to stock JFD, but I still got the same signature verification error. Do you know why I keep getting this? I remember reading from the forum that TW rom is based on Éclair and there shouldn’t be any problem flashing TW rom if I’m on Éclair.

Then I went back to Eugene Ginger clone final R2. After several days, the stuff on the main screen were disappeared, i.e. clock, date, and widgets/icons. I odin it back to JFD, but this time I can’t even root the phone!! I tried the three button method and also SuperOneClick, but it didn’t work. The SuperOneClick said the phone was successfully rooted, but Titanium Backup said I didn’t have root right. Below is the message on the screen when I applied the three buttons method:-

Installing update…

assert failed: getprop(“ro.product.device”) == “GT-I5800” || getprop(”ro.build.product”) == “GT-I5800” || getprop(“ro.product.device”) == “GT-I9000” || getprop(”ro.build.product”) == “GT-I9000”

E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

Also I have tried to odin the phone to JI6 but it went dead at the booting screen.

Can you please advice on getting the phone rooted and getting through the signature verification failed issue? I have seen a post relating to solving signature verification failed on the forum, but believe it’s not for Éclair. I’m now on JFD and the phone is so slow.

Any helps are much appreciated.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan.buddle:
Does your phone turn on, if yes, its not bricked, if nothing happens at all when you try to turn it on then your are bricked...

Another question, why are you flashing all these roms, I understand if you want to try them out but by the looks of it you don't know what you are doing... provide some links as to what you've flashed for reference
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggwsbi:
Thanks for your response, Stefan. The phone is working now. What I’m trying to do now is to get the phone rooted and solve the signature verification fail issue; maybe go back to Ginger clone rom that I had used for over a month. I wanted to try these roms as their performances and options are different.

Here’s the links to the roms:-

the website link points to an xda thread which then points to a french android site. I tried reading an english translation of the french site but I didn't learn much.

I know the wifi only galaxy tab 10.1 has not even been announced, and this news gives me worry that we may still have to wait months after April for a wifi only 10.1
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ericdabbs:
I totally agree with you. I think Samsung needs to jump on the bandwagon quicker and announce a Wifi only galaxy tab 10.1. Unlike Moto Xoom, Samsung shouldn't take the risk having the galaxy tab 10.1 called overpriced and without a wifi only option. I would be really disappointed if samsung had no plans to release a wifi only galaxy tab 10.1.

Moto Xoom has plans for a wifi only version which should be coming out late march or early april so I don't see why samsung wouldn't jump on the bandwagon.

Personally for me, I am only interested in a Wifi only galaxy tab 10.1 as I have no interest in paying another data plan on top of my cell phone data plan. If Samsung can make an announcement about a wifi only galaxy tab 10.1 on Mar 22 at their 78910 conference that would be great news for this product.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildstang83:
Ok, so I do not have internet at my house so my phone is my primary internet source via Wired Tether 1.4. Normally I can stay connected to data(3G) for about 30 to 45 minutes and then it will just shut off. Then when it shuts off I just pull down the notification bar and put it in airplane mode for a second or two then data restarts fine. I use my data heavyish if you want to say. (Youtube, XDA:), Facebook, email and everything else you normally do) My signal is a solid 2 bars. I have tried *228 opt 1&2 and also swapping radios. Did not seem to help. Could be signal but just not to sure considering I can DL around 1mb/s

If it makes a difference I'm using Shed's 2.0 GSB w/2.42.01.04.27 radio and conaps unreleased kernel which generaly I keep oc'd at 729

It isn't a giant issue, its just kinda annoying.

Also I've attached the speedtest.net results for proof of speed.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I have a lot of experience with tethering as it was my only home internet for about six months until several weeks ago, finally (thank the lords of cobol - ugh, did I say that).

I have tried just about every snake oil imaginable to get tethering to work better, including switching back and forth from wifi to wired tethering. Sometimes it seemed for a while that one (usually WIFI) would work better than the other, but that would only last so long, too.

The longest I hardly ever had a problem with it continuously connected was actually about a week straight if I remember correctly. That was the best I ever had. The worse was disconnects every few minutes, or just as soon as I continued interrupted downloads after re-tethering.

My favorite and most common snake oil was using an app called APN OnOff to reset the APN to default. For practical purposes, it probably effectively did the same thing as you using Airplane mode, which I thought I had tried but I didn't think it worked as well for me, or even at all. Even after using APN OnOff, most of the time I had to reboot as well.

I had tried one without the other and it seemed like it required both for my tethering to work "reliably" again. I use that term loosely, of course.

I was using over 30GB per month data at my highest tethering use, and it was probably only that "low" because of the frustration and difficulty in depending on it.

I download A LOT so it really sucked at times, but it was better than dial up...sometimes.

I will say that one definite improvement was using Cyanogen Mod (v6.x and above) based ROMs which have support for built in WIFI tethering widget and using apps off the internet to use CM's built in wired tethering as well. These are implemented differently than the "old" Wired and Wireless tethering for root apps.

I highly recommend you explore them. One major difference, for me (and I tethered to two computers, my own and my girlfriends) was just how fast even the wired tethering would connect to the computer once I started it, versus wired tethering for root. Wireless tethering also turned on and off and actually connected much faster.

If you've never wireless tethered before, in my experience if you're going to depend on it at home constantly like I did, I kept it plugged in constantly anyway because it used a LOT of battery, and I also took the battery cover out (besides taking the Eris out of my body glove case I use) and kept a fan blowing on it to keep it's temperature down.

If you do decide to try this way, like I said, CM6.x+ includes "notification power widgets", which are widgets built into the pull down notification bar. They include a WIFI tethering widget but for some reason not a wired one. There is an app on the market called "Tethering Widget", though, which has both single widgets and widgets for both functions, in case you decide to try it's tethering ability.

Edit: I'm half asleep so forgive me for not paying attention that you're already on a CM7 ROM just like me, much less that I know you've been active in the GSB thread recently. :)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildstang83:
Lol sleep is a must for most if us. Idk, like I said its not that big a deal. Its just rather annoying. Expecially when trying to download junk. I'm familiar with wireless tether for root and my thoughts are that is a useful app when "out and about". But for home use I don't prefer it at all do to the heat and it seems that over a session of use it looses its speed. Almost as if its idling down. That is majorly why I prefer wired tether. Cool battery and it maintains speed. Idk. I guess it could also be some code somewhere that prevents extended periods of use OR it could be just the limitations of the phones hardware. Might have to run logcat and see if I can get anything to come up on the disconnect. Can wt and lg be ran at the same time? Guess we'll see.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
What's lg? If you're talking about two different methods of tethering, no. You can have as many ways of tethering installed at the same time, but you'll only be able to actually use one of the ways at a time. Let me know if you try Gingerbread/CM7's native tethering instead of the "for root" apps and if it treats you any better, as it did me in general.
