Hi!

Since there is now possibility to put power widget to status bar, is it somehow possible to change "shortcuts" or add more.

Yes - ish. You can change the services.apk file for other froyo ones to give to more functionality. EG: I have the 6 panel one form the Japanese jellyfish mixed into my FLB rom so it has the Sync button as well as the data on off toggle.

If I could find a 7 panel one to add 2g 3g switching in there as well we'd have just about everything needed for power control

Hi,

One question about superuser: as i've updated from r9b to r10b, i shouldn't be concerned by the root issue as far as i understood, but i am..do i need to apply superuser update to fix this..?

I tried cleaning datas of Superuser and Autostarts (mainly this one is causing troubles, now titanium backup too) and i'd like to avoid wiping.

Thanks in advance

To get the ball rolling I'd like some feedback about the wifi in r10. Does it work OK for you? If you have problems could you post with your phone type (San Francisco, Blade etc) and state if it's OLED or TFT and 3mp or 5mp camera. If the wifi was flawless in any previous version of FLB or another ROM then please state this also along with the rom version.

I have a San Francisco with a 3mp camera. It is TFT. Previous to this ROM I used the Jellyfish r9. I had no issues with the JF one and this ROM is also working perfectly fine for me. It connects as it should and I have experienced no drops in my connection.

Great rom! Using R10b

Moved from Pauls' rom and haven't looked back - I like the continuing development esp the power mod in the notification area.

Have read loads of posts but can't find an answer. I tried to create the circle battery mod for FLB at the Online Kitchen but it does not flash properly - must be something wrong with the current framework-res.apk file? I know Frankie has mods but I don't want to change colour scheme, which his does, as I like the white notification bar? Any thoughts anyone?

You have to sign the apk after using the kitchen

Flibblesan, can I bump my question from the other thread. I think I know why the phone isn't sending MMS, I seem to have the issue that was raised some time ago where when 3G is switched on it knocks off the phone signal but the phone signal seems to be trying to switch off 3G ie they're both knocking each other out when you switch 3G/Data on. Was there a fix for this? It's really frustrating as i don't seem to be able to use data at all now, ie can't get on the net with it either!

I am going to charge the phone now and will try this new rom to see if that helps.

Thank you in advance of any help/replies guys.

My previous question is below:

I'm actually on Flb Rom 8. My question is in relation to sending MMS. This is the first time I've tried to send an MMS since I loaded the rom some time ago. I've never received one since I loaded it (I don't use it much). It's just sitting there and showing as 'Sending...' The settings I have are:

Name: O2 MMS

APN: wap.o2.co.uk

Proxy: http://wap.o2.co.uk

Port: 9201

Username: o2wap

Password: password

Server: n/a

MMSC: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002

MMS Port: 8080

MCC: 234

MNC: 10

Authentication Type: n/a

APN Type: mms

Any help appreciated guys. Thank you in advance.

EDIT: I notice that in APNs there are a few MMS settings set up in there. There is:

O2 UK Prepay MMS

O2 MMS

O2 MMS Postpay

O2 MMS Prepay

O2 UK MMS

I updated from r8a to r10b without wipe. Worked well, I only had to re-configure my widgets (in LauncherPro) and restore the store WIFI networks using Titanium. I also applied Frankish's BlueGuingerbreadCircle-Mod and his mod for the power widget (blue on black). I'm using an "old" UK SanFran with OLED and 3MP camera.

WIFI has the same quirks for me as in r8a: Reconnection is sometimes rather slow (occasionally more than a minute) and at least once I found my network marked as disabled/deactivated ("deaktiviert" in German version) in the list of networks - it would only re-connect after enabling this again. To be clear: WIFI in general was active, only my home network was set to disabled. I had this occasionally (about once in 1-2 days) in r8a as well, never saw this in JJ6.

Besides this, I'm perfectly happy with FLB! Overclocking and the power widget @ status bar are relly nice features to have :huh:

This is as close to a perfect Wednesday ROM as we can currently get :)

(BTW: Scrolling in app drawer and menus remains slightly choppy as on all Froyo ROMS I used so far, only 2.1 ROMS like HH were really smooth there, but had too many other issues)

WiFi cannot connect to my ADSL/Wlan box anymore. In earlier version of FLB Froyo it worked fine. Also AFTER I tried WiFi, 3G data connection isn't working at all anymore. It worked before messing with the WiFi connection. :\

I'm experiencing the same here, seemed better in r9b, i may considering rolling back to it (superuser issue in addition) but if bugs are noticed the rom can improve..!

Besides this, I'm perfectly happy with FLB!

I'm experiencing this too..!!

The problem I seem to have is that twice now I have installed the FLB version 9, then 10B, then installed 10b extras pack, the Gingerbread theme 9a, which is suitable for this. Each time I installed another rom I did a fresh reboot.

Then when everything was working alright, did a backup and after trying another rom on it, wiped the data cache and factory reset data, tried to restore the FLB 10b backup and both times it came up with "MD5 mismatch". Has anyone any clues why this might be please?

Question: Does this ROM fully support the Base Lutea (German Version of Blade with 5 mp camera)?

I will be getting one soon and want to put this ROM on it, but i want to make sure it works.

Yes, this ROM works with the 5 MP version, I have the same phone. There are some bugs though, one of them is unreliable camera functioning, especially for video recording. I say 'unreliable' cos some people report they don't have this problem some other do.

So I just need to replace services.apk with the one from JJ? Anything else needs to be done or changed?

What version of clockwork are you using?

I get the same problem, I cannot install the ZTE dialer after I updated from r9 to r10 without wipe.

I tried all the Clockwork Recoveries, 2.5, 3.0.x, but all report same Status 6 error.

I guess if I really want the dialer, I have to wipe or what?

better solution to include it directly in the ROM if possible - would be a good addition

Mixed bag with WIFI... when it works its very good, pages are fast - market loads quickly, but to me its very "flaky" ... often the wifi just shuts itself off without warning, pressing the wifi button on the power bars sometimes takes several attempts, as it lights up, then a couple of seconds later goes off again !

Also noticed this behaviour happens more often when running GPS.... the GPS logo will replace the WIFI one on the notification bar, this is whilst using "C:GEO" software... also does it in google maps.

Put 10B on last night, cannot see anything different.

Battery life is fantastic... especially with "DATA" off ! Although I often forget to turn it back on... do we really need that switch I wonder ?

Thanks again.

Yep. That's the long and short of it. However replacing it with root explorer or such like is a bit of a no no. So you may want to build a signed update.zip to flash in at boot time.

Personally I unpacked the rom replaced the services.apk and a did few other bits n bobs (circle battery mod etc) whilst I was in there, then rebuilt the rom and flashed it in as a whole rom instead of an update.

Hey all,

So I'm not sure if this a bug or if its me doing something wrong as I'm fairly new to this. But I have problems with bluetooth. I can pair my Blade with my MackBook or old Cellphone without problems and the first time i did it with both of them a connection was established between the blade and comp as well as phone and phone however that lasted for like a min and then they were just paired again and I haven been able to reconnect them, they just stay paired. The Blade is i discoverable mode so thats not the problem, im ruinning the FLB-Froyo 10b.

Thanks for any help!

Hello!

Is it possible to get an update for Finnish keyboard (Å,Ä,Ö missing)?

Other issue is the camera, how can you change picture quality settings? Can't find any options for this.

+1 this would be awesome, just like in CM7

Question: Does this ROM fully support the Base Lutea (German Version of Blade with 5 mp camera)?

I will be getting one soon and want to put this ROM on it, but i want to make sure it works.

Yes it does.

Can sb pls explain to me how does the currently included APP2SD solution work (I am using a card with EXT4 partition). Is there a way to control when an app is installed to Int/Ext? Quick System Info is showing me A2SD Storage 86/229MB free and Internal Storage only 30/208MB free, that would suggest many apps just stay in the phone and soon - although having a lot of free space on Ext - I will end up with low space on Int, unless I transfer some of the apps to SD Card Storage (FAT) using the standard Froyo method...

It installs automatically to internal storage and a2sd, you can not control this. Only way is to move them to FAT but a piece will remain on the internal storage.

WiFi cannot connect to my ADSL/Wlan box anymore. In earlier version of FLB Froyo it worked fine. Also AFTER I tried WiFi, 3G data connection isn't working at all anymore. It worked before messing with the WiFi connection. :\

Did you wipe? Did you restore system apps/settings? Did you restart the router?
