The Curious Case of Farmsatguy...

First and foremost, absolutely awesome job TP and TeamViper. This ROM is just so far above and beyond anything Sprint/Samsung could hope to push out. Loving Rodderick's kernal and all the bells & whistles that keep getting added (or removed like CIQ). BT's Anarchy Launcher is by far the best I've ever used and I can't see using anything else, great job man. I've been following the ViperRom's since day one and loving it! I can remember when the last thread (the one over 6k posts) was just a baby at 100 posts reading each and every one. I've never really needed to post questions because somewhere they were arleady answered.

So, with that said, I've finally run into a couple issues that I can't recall having seen before. I'm more than comfortable with all the steps needed to flash, odin, CWM, push in ADB, etc... It's just as likely it's something I've done or missed but I know this is the place to put me back on track.

First, when I left Trinity 2.0 for Synergy, I followed the steps by using odin to go to the EB13 modem and stock rom (after making sure Titanium had up to date backups as well as a current Nandroid in CWM3). All was smooth and went without a hitch but when the stock rom booted, the SetupWizard.apk never fired up asking me to enter my gmail account info so it could download all my apps from the market like I'd seen in every other ROM I'd installed, stock or otherwise. I thought it was odd but wasn't concerned because it was a temporary stop. I played with EB13 for a few just to be nosy but then went on to the real "meat and potatoes", re-rooting, installing CWM 3.0.0.6 and flashing Synergy. Again, i followed the usual procedures, wiped as needed in CWM3, flashed, and drooled while I waited for the first boot. Again, absolutely no problems. But the same odd thing happened whereas the SetupWizard.apk didn't startup on first boot (I'm assuming it's that apk anyway that lets you setup your gmail stuff from the get go). It's not the end of the world type thing as I have the Titanium backups (Pro user) but I just liked having the phone download all my apps clean (hmmm, maybe 75 of them - yes, I know, I like to play around with different toys) then Titanium over top. So in my long winded way of a question, is that apk not supposed to fire up anymore (since it didn't do it in stock EB13 either which I did with a .tar file in Odin)? Or is it just something I did? How do I correct if it's me? Can I copy the apk to another folder within the zip (I know not to extract but to drop it in within the zip file) or "just deal with it?" Lol.

Second odd thing (and I didn't pay attention to see if this is was the same in stock EB13), everytime I reboot the phone (either by powering it off or using the nice, new reboot option), the USB debugging option is checked (turned on) under Settings->Applications->Development. I go in, uncheck it, but when I restart the phone, there it is again, checked and turned on. Is it baked into the ROM this way? Or is it something I did wrong during either the Odin or flashing of the ROM that has this re-checking itself each time the phone starts up? Again, no big deal, just curious if it's supposed to do that and if not, how should I correct it.

If these things have already been pointed out, my bad, just point me to the posts about them and I'll go away!

Again, great job guys (and gals???). Be safe in Japan BT, and best wishes to you and everyone else over there...I can't imagine what those poor folks are going through. I lost a home to Hurricane Floyd in NC years ago...but they've lost part of their country! So Tragic.
