Guest skenmy Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Thoroughly enjoying the use of 3.1b2! It's blisteringly fast - can't wait for 4.0 though! Definitely worth a Plus subscription for all the work you have done, Paul! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dan Mullen Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I was using titanium but found astro file manager tools a little better for me.. but i dont think it saves market info Believe me, Titanium Backup is MUCH better than Astro for backing up your apps and their related settings. Astro only saves the .apk file - you can do that yourself by copying the contents of your ext partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Robert Davidson Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 As I could not see the new widgets I decided to do a complete wipe and reinstall 3.1 beta 2 but the new widgets are still not showing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PhonePersona Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 G8 Why not remove dropbear? I always have since it started being included. I don't use it (and have no idea how to). Yeah tried adb remount and same. Gonna try again in a bit. Try: adb remount adb shell cd system/app ls (to check and see that the file you're trying to remove is present) rm "whatever file you're trying to remove" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kendon Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Use Titanium Backup to backup and restore your apps, complete with links to market? P I was using titanium but found astro file manager tools a little better for me.. but i dont think it saves market info i'm so gonna try that, the market links are my biggest problem. i want the updates, otherwise would have just wiped. i have my contacts on google, and the few settings shouldn't be the problem... thanks for the hint, both of you!

Guest thecastlefordkid Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Having not looked at the forum since last night, I'm a little suprised to see the thread going on for page after page about the missing HTC Widgets. I'd rather the thread be used for real software issues in the ROM that make it unusable. The widgets are nothing special. We need to help Paul with testing the ROM to find real issues that he can work on rather than wasting his time resolving something that is really minor. Anyway, I've really hammered Beta 2 since last night, not one bug, force close, nothing. It's awesome. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest paulosman Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Been using Modaco for a while now and benefitting from all the love/kindness of the community and especially Paul, yet I didnt even notice there was a Premium Member thing. That'll teach me for just bookmarking the pages I use! £9.99 sent a minute ago... MCR3.1 beta 2 downloading as I write! Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest masterpfa Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 OK Day 2, decided to continue with 3.1 Beta 1 for a full day before upgrading. No problems to report with Beta 1 so now to Beta 2 Installed and so far all OK I have decided on a 'No Wipe' Paul, as I have done with all upgrades to date, not sure if this is what you were looking for, please let me know. I have also, out of interest, carried out a few 'Benchmark' tests, my results below: MCR 3.0 Graphics: 113.54418 CPU: 155.14532 Memory: 142.79225 Filesystem 2.199167 MCR 3.1 Beta 1 Graphics: 113.74778 CPU: 158.4764 Memory: 143.68716 Filesystem 12.298478 MCR 3.1 Beta 2 Graphics: 115.14073 CPU: 168.04851 Memory: 142.94083 Filesystem 35.63863 All looking good Paul :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thecastlefordkid Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) I may have spoken too soon. I'm not experiencing a force close but the phone seems to have acquired some lag :) It's most noticable when scrolling through the 'All Programs' list. Last night it was really quick but it seems to have started to lag and become a little jumpy. The phones been on since I installed Beta 2 last night. I'm wondering if the lag becomes more apparent the longer it's on. During this morning, I haven't been running any other apps than those I started to use when I first installed. What's the best method of finding out the memory useage figures etc so that I can put them up on the thread??? EDIT : Apps such as Contacts and HTC Mail seem to be experiencing from the lag also Edited January 6, 2010 by thecastlefordkid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kieranc Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Finally, I often read on the forums of people who are having problems installing a custom ROM. Is this down to user error, and not following instructions, or is this because it is mostly a 'cross your fingers and hope' process, that relies on luck for it to work, since phones can be in so many different conditions it is impossible to write down a set of instructions that are guaranteed to work even if the instructions are followed to the letter? I'd say it's a pretty safe process - the hundreds of people who have installed sucessfully aren't as vocal about it as the few for whom something has gone wrong. from what i've seen, most boot failures seem to relate to incorrectly partitioned sd cards rather than a problem with the rom... I have also, out of interest, carried out a few 'Benchmark' tests, my results below: MCR 3.0 Graphics: 113.54418 CPU: 155.14532 Memory: 142.79225 Filesystem 2.199167 MCR 3.1 Beta 1 Graphics: 113.74778 CPU: 158.4764 Memory: 143.68716 Filesystem 12.298478 MCR 3.1 Beta 2 Graphics: 115.14073 CPU: 168.04851 Memory: 142.94083 Filesystem 35.63863 All looking good Paul :) those filesystem figures are amazing, what's changed?!

EDIT : Apps such as Contacts and HTC Mail seem to be experiencing from the lag also I've found the issue, Skype for Android. It's been running all of the time, soon as I signed out of Skype and closed the app, everything went back to normal. No jumpy, laggy apps or screens now.

Guest Dan Mullen Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I've found the issue, Skype for Android. It's been running all of the time, soon as I signed out of Skype and closed the app, everything went back to normal. No jumpy, laggy apps or screens now. It may have just been the amount of RAM being used by Skype at the time rather than a problem with that app. Try it again later, or after manually killing a few other tasks.
