Guest The Soup Thief Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Guys, I've been using this since release and am very happy with it. First day I noticed the Dialer munching through battery (allegedly) but now when I go to battery use there is no dialer icon there. I'm getting similar if not better battery than 2.1 Flash support for our device would be nice Adobe! Andy Hi Andy I thought the same (and actually, I'm still finding power usage to be not noticably different from previous 2.1 ROMs) but as kuji pointed out yesterday, Power Tutor (which didn't list dialler's battery usage) may have been misleading me (it lists apps' power usage - dialler may not be classed as the same) Just looking at "Battery Usage" tab in "Battery Monitor" app - it reckons Dialer usage is 82% of current total, with Android System making up the bulk of the rest at 17% Not really sure which to go by, but either way I'm getting a good day and a half of light - medium use out of a full charge, which will serve me just just fine - if a later release can improve on this I'll be well pleased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MaxxieB Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Right Sorry if i sound like a complete n00b but this is my first post on modaco B) And After installing this Rom via clockwork recovery im shocked at how much faster my phone is! Thanks for the hard work that must have gone into this Rom :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stevieblueyez Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Flashed this on using the Clockwork recovery mod. When it eventually rebooted, I'm getting this error messages come up repeatedly "Sorry! The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" Then there's a 'Force Close' button. I also get "Sorry! The application process.com.android.email has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" Anyone else seen this? lets me scroll through screens left and right as normal, some apps start, but wholly doesn't work.

Guest darky4e Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 How long did you leave it? It can take quite a while to boot up the first time. I have waited 26 minutes. I think its more than enough. We have different zte's. 256Mb ram edition like the chinese. 2.1 roms run smootly but can't boot with 2.2! now i will try logcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stevieblueyez Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Did you wipe first? Nope, didn't wash my hands afterwards either. LOL! No, like a prize clown I went and charged in to apply the FROYO and recalled reading about the wipe as the progress bar on Clockword mod was scrolling to the right. Had to revert to the R4 and now the Home button doesn't work, I've lost all my contacts etc etc. Oh well. Serves me right. Think I'll wipe it and start from scratch with the Froyo. So just to clarify, do I want the Wipe Data/Factory Reset or do I want the Wipe Cache Partition. Secondly, I took a backup 'after' I splatter the Froyo image ontop of R4 on my phone. Is there a way to lift the contacts from that backup onto the Froyo after I start from scratch? (or have I lost those for ever?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wiped both and for some reason having done the Froyo install again they're all there? Happy days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Before installing I wiped tboth the Data and the Cache from within Clockwork and things worked out peachy Reckon you can just pull your contacts off the Google (if you had em there) Not sure whether clockwork saves your contacts or not EDIT: you beat me to the draw! Glad it worked out B) Edited November 19, 2010 by The Soup Thief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Aranathos Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 I've removed some of the .apk files in the system\app folder and added everything back to an archive (.zip). When I boot into Clockwork Recovery and look for the ROM I can't see the modified one, only the original. I thought this was unsigned for this very purpose?

Guest bigisy Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) About to dive into this. Renamed the zip file to update.zip and I'm going to wipe the data and devik cache. My 2.1 MCR R4 has been really sluggish so hopefully this'll boost it a little. Oh crap. I renamed the file as 'update.zip' and its now appearing on the phone as 'update.zip.zip'. It shouldn't affect the installation or anything right? edit: Its worked! Running through the setup procedure now.

B) - In fact, you don't need to rename it - you can select the file you want to zip (unless you use the "flash update.zip" option). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oiltrader Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Hi, I am new to all this Android stuff. I am considering installing this new ROM FLB Froyo 2.2 onto the phone. But I want to know - Does this void the warranty in any way? Do you have to "root" the phone to install an OS? ( I know rooting a phone will invalidate a warranty) I am just asking because I really don't want to lose my warranty at the expense of a better OS. I could live with my current Orange 2.1 OS. Thanks guys! B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys! B) Yep all Custom ROMs (on this forum) require rooting which 'invalidates' the warranty. You can always flash the original software if returning the phone for a repair/exchange which covers it up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DannyDirect Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Hello again guys, Fantastic work on the ROM but I've hit a rather big problem. I'm using a ZTE Blade (Orange SanFrancisco) and every time I try to connect to Market (or add Google account) I get the message "Can’t establish a reliable data connection to the server." I've tried EVERYTHING that I've been able to Google. Tried fresh install and enabled only 3G, cleared all cache and data, taken SIM out and tried, enabled Syncing, everything I've found on Google I have tried. Please help, this would be the perfect Froyo ROM if it wasn't for this problem. Thanks, Danny of ParaHelix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You try wiping everything, then signing into gtalk before the market (obviously with wifi off)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest germcevoy Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 My compliments. Runs as smooth as butter. Installed last night and just had my best days battery performance today.

Guest germcevoy Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Now a snag. My red LED keeps coming on. It goes out when the device sleeps but comes straight back on when awake. I have no notifications or apps running that could be triggering this. Rebooting clears it but it will soon come back on again. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Soup Thief Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Wow, excellent ROM! My cameras B&W but apart from that it's all working great.
