Been suffering from the missing message bug today. I'm on T-Mobile UK (contract), using the Launcher Pro version, lost messages from three different people. Still looking for the stock Music app APK as well.

1.0 is awesome, everything working, moved dalvik cache to sd 16gb class 2 (nokia one), no problems so far for three days(installed about 30apps)... Audio hack working, barnacle working, dolphin browser HD working, launcherpro working very smooth, quite a lot of free ram(advanced task manager 28-35mb), fast... Thank You Mr. Fibblesan, my pulse seems no crap, finally... :D

Amazing ROM +1

+1 vote for "COME UP WITH FROYO, MAN!!!! " :angry:

HTC IME skinned rulez!!!

My internal mem was down to 8.26mb and I had the low mem icon in the notfication bar and couldnt recieve any sms, on the OP its says you should use class4 SD if you gonna move cache to SD which I dont have, I have the SD that came with the phone but I thought id try it anyway :D performance is still good and I got back 61.03mb after reboot ;)

Oh and forgot to mention. I'm sure I'm not imagining this, but my battery life is better with this ROM. Had it off the Charger since this morning and on WI FI most of the day with the odd bit of use and I've still got three quarters of a charge left. I'd be well below half before applying this ROM.

Thanks Flibblesan....

Oh and on a bit of a naughty side note. I can grip this phone anyway I want and not lose any signal bars. What are Apple on about?

Tried installing this Rom on my already Modded Pulse last week, due to Co-Pilot screwing up yet again. I thought I'd take the plunge again. I won't say it went smoothly... it actually took about two days to get the damn thing working in a stable manner and several installations and reversions back, but now everything is tickety boo. Just thought I'd post this to let everyone know that this is a brilliant ROM, lightning fast on my Pulse and a 100% improvement on what I had before.

I thought it might help people if you knew what I went through, in order to give those without hope, hope.

I installed the Hungarian update which went smoothly and then this one which also went smoothly. I was very impressed and happy with the result and surprised when I realised that I was using a Framework and liking it. (I was previously happy with the T-Mobile interface.)

The only problem I had was when I hooked up an exchange account. This basically kept FClosing and after a few times I figured I'd just use quick boot to do a factory reset. I then got locked into a boot loop which, owing to the fact that I was out and about, and owing to the fact that I completely forgot the key combination to go back into quick boot I was phoneless for around 4 hours. I finally got the Pulse up and running, although with lots of forced closures etc and once home started a whole process of re-installations during which I was sure I had bricked my phone several times. Eventually though all went fine and it still is.

So basically, if anyone is teetering... go for it. It's definitely worth it and FLB-Mod is the way to go... in my opinion.

ha that was one of the first things i done after seeing apple say it :angry:, my battery life has been worse though since i switched to this from the tre rom and applications have locked up far more

The FLB-mod V.1.0 is awesome! :D So much faster than Tre's ROM and the older FLBs ;)

But in Beta 3, we had an fancy gallery app, that's replaced with the original app in V.1.0 :D

Can we have the fancy one back? :angry:

I need to find one that works correctly. The one I was using gives me force closes and the rotation doesn't work (it just reloads the app).

yep desided i may go for the app to sd card but does that mean that i have to reinstal flb 1.0 for it and is it a hard prosess wat is needed for it to work perfectly

I seem to have an odd issue with wifi as in if I'm holding the phone it may not connect though this is speculation at this time my network is frankly.... uhh I don't know if I'm allowed to use the word I want to so Rubbish will suffice it just says Unsuccessful randomly I had it on the Tre ROM before this and my December ROM before that, though oddly when I first installed FLB it worked flawlessly despite showing a low signal strength for a few seconds then going straight back up to full so I doubt it's a hardware issue then a few days later it happened again I really can't pinpoint this issue it could just be my relative position to the router but something doesn't seem right with it

I'm sure it can't be me shorting the phone though :D

on a side note 3G works ;) I'm in a 2G only area the only network with 3G is Vodafone... who'd of guessed it :D so I hadn't had much chance to test it since it was worrying me seeing all the reports but it works fine guess I got lucky since I haven't had any non launcher related issues :angry:

EDIT: it doesn't drop either and I'm literally no more than 2 arm's length away from the router

EDIT2: I'll mess around with my routers settings tomorrow it's probably just being a pain

It sounds like its probably best to start from scratch, once you get Rom working again if you still want to put cache on SD

If you want to move the dalvik-cache to the sd card, type

a2sd cachesd (move dalvik to sd card)

a2sd cachepart (move dalvik to cache partition)

Make sure your SD card is at least a class 4 before doing this, otherwise you may run into performance issues, unless you move the dalvik to the cache partition.

NOTE:Use terminal app to type the above and remember to type (su) first.

LauncherPro and ADW

which one have longer battery life?

did anyone found out that?

Guest darkly

I'm on LauncherPro, I tried ADW for a very short time and then LauncherPro to see what it was like. I ended up liking LauncherPro more than ADW and ever since I've been on LauncerPro my battery life has been exceptional. Wasn't on ADW for long enough to know how that did though.

Did you type "a2sd cachepart" in terminal? As that stopped the market from working for me as well. I have reported this but people are still saying you should type that in terminal.

I can't seem to move the dalvik cache.

When using terminal emulator I get "Permission denied; are you root?" whether I use the su prefix or not.

Since I am running FLB, I HAVE to be Rooted, no?

Hi, can somebody please help?

I am trying to root my phone, but when I apply "install-superboot-windows.bat" in XP, I can see a DOS window comes up saying "sending 'boot' (1944KB)... OKAY", but I am not seeing "Writing Superboot (xyz Bytes)" on the pluse screen.

Then I try move the dalvik-cache to the sd card by typing

a2sd cachesd (move dalvik to sd card)

but the terminal told me my phone has not been rooted.

In bootloader mode, I am seeing this:

USB Fastboot: V0.5

Machine ID: 1007000 v0

MSM Id: 16

I suppose it really doesn't help when somebody posted to use both a2sd cachesd and a2sd cachepart. By doing this you are first moving the dalvik-cache to the SD, then trying to move it to the cache partition. This absolutely will not work and in most cases will break your Android. Our phones only have 10MB cache partition and this is used by a few things. Dalvik-cache just won't fit.

NEVER, EVER EVER MOVE DALVIK-CACHE TO CACHEPART USING THE COMMAND 'A2SD CACHEPART'!

Why on Earth are you trying to install superboot? Non of the Android 2.1 instructions say to install this and, by doing so, you will have prevented your installed rom from functioning.

You will have to wipe your phone from recovery and install a custom ROM again. Sorry to be harsh but so many people recently are just not following instructions.

I am getting the same error message,

I am not sure if I need to root my phone,

but the bootloader in my phone is not responding to the root process.

Don't mess with rooting... install a custom rom like FBM (it's the best rom i think)

flibblesan,

thanks for your reply.

it doesn't seem superboot run on my phone anyway.

I have just wipe my phone and reinstall your latest rom.

But when I tried to move the dalvik-cache to the sd card by typing

a2sd cachesd (move dalvik to sd card)

but the terminal told me my phone has not been rooted.

how can i get a2sd to work on my phone?

Cheers

Did you type SU on it's own before doing the command?
