Did any of you lose any applications? I lost Sky Force for some reason. Not a big deal but just wondering

gthrift

How easy is it to unroot with this app? I read in the app description that there is a return to stock option but I couldn't find any details in the 20+ page threads on the droidforum. Anyone know or try it? Does it leave behind apps when returning to stock like other, early ROMs did?

shrink57

All my apps successfully made it and seem to be running fine.

When you run the updater you are given a choice of the SholesMod or the stock 2.0.1 with no root. I have not tried going back but it should be easy if you just follow the on screen instructions.

Ok so I downloaded and rooted today, it was very easy and I like it a lot. I do have some questions/concerns though.

1. The 2.1 launcher it came with is super buggy, anyone else experiencing this?
2. I got setCPU and I put it at 800 Max and 550 min and my homescreen lagged a little, but when I put it at 800 max and 800 min its fine, is it ok to do this?
3. How do I install roms? I would like to put bugless beast or 2.1 on my DROID.
4. Tethering wont work either

Thanks a lot guys!

O.K.

I want to make this work in the worst way, but I am having some problems. Lets get into the history so that you have the whole story. I downloaded and paid the 5 bucks for the app (well worth it if I can get this to work). I followed the instructions but when I got the black screen, I didn't realize that it was going to take so long to load. I waited about a minute or two, shut down the phone and ran the app again. I did this about 7 times before I found out that I had to wait a lot longer. I finally waited about 45 minutes to an hour, received about 10 forceclose/wait ( I selected wait) and it finally loaded. It downloaded the backup thingy but got stuck at 99 percent for about 20 minutes. It finally finished and like I said if it were to work, I would love it! SO fast and smooth with 800mhz with setCPU. My problem is that It keeps locking up on me. 5 times in about 3 hours. I have to pull the battery each time to fix it. Should I start from scratch and try to install it again? If so, what steps should I take to make sure it's done right?

Thanks in advance

rjoudrey

all these "quit reccomended's" are making me feel uneasy!

rjoudrey

I am now in SPRecovery: extracting system.tar

rjoudrey

I bought the sholes, My main question is does it automatically stop the verizon updates so it wont unroot\screw up my phone?

rjoudrey

Everything is running good I had to select auto detect in setcpu. I can not find the coverflow music app!

gonzoguy24

DO NOT DO 800 min and max...min should be as low as possible

Just changed it, thanks...any answers to my other questions?

rjoudrey

Anybody having a problem with TV.Com?

gonzoguy24

2.1 launcher sucks.
If you want to install a rom go to alldroid. And look at the development section.
I belie ve wifi tether needs. A special kernel???? I have no clue...google it dude! I just have a rom with it

gnmitchell

Make sure you select auto detect and not the droid option in setcpu to get overclocking to work

Doubledee90

My DROID has been running super fast and everything, but it has rebooted a couple of times on its own...anyone know why?

un8elievable

1. same exp as you
2. max 800, min low as possible
3. ?
4. Tethering worked for me on my macbook pro os x 10.4.11. if you have a mac i can walk you through what i did.

pilotcharles747

I put my droid to the test all day with the sholes. Now i have not tried bugless beast so I can not compare it. After i romoved jit and installed home switcher and switched to the default home it has been good FOR ME. Bluetooth worked, music, camera, texting, it all worked for me. For those using it, even though you do not have to be an expert it is best to go the the obtain root, root your droid website to atleast be familiar what is going on with your device. To root or not, bugless or sholes is up to you. I am not getting a cut from either party so i am not gonna push either way. I am just telling u im rooted oc at 800 and running smooth (I prefer 800 over 1000, yeah im scared to go that high lol).

Vanteal

If I'm already rooted, And currently running "bugless beast" is there any need to apply the sholesmod updater?

no if u running bugless beast and u happy keep it, this is for those who may not know how to root or just want to get a simple rom installed for them

Vanteal

Ok cool, I just wanted to check and see if it would be in any way a useful for me.. thx

fam

I installed the sholes yesterday at 3. VERY happy with the performance, the new Gallery is worth 5 bucks alone! Much zippier around the menus and the unlock is quicker without the stupid heptic feedback...BUT

Ive had 3 reboots, once required me to remove the battery.

After a call was dropped on their end my phone froze and vibrated endlessly until I popped out the battery... lol....but not really lol ya know what I mean?

Then this morning was watching a vid I recorded, skipped about 20 seconds in and then stopped, phone rebooted.

And lastly my stock browser hates hotmail, keeps going back to desktop\home with no error screen or anything (not too big of a deal as I use xscope and dolphin) but still weird.

rjoudrey

Just loaded 2.0.2 rom now available.

shrink57

Thanks for the heads up. I have read good feedback on this update.

fam

Their web site said they pulled it today due to instability, dont know if they just fixed it and put it back out or not.

rjoudrey

I think it is fixed and back out. By the way I still am not getting the coverflow music app. Does anyone know anything?

shrink57

The coverflow music app only seems to allow the new cover feature in landscape mode (after going to library in the menu). It is pretty cool now that I figured it out.

2.02 installed without a hiccup!

fireshaper

Yup, fixed, according to the site:
- Reverted change from initial 2.0.2 that had a new su binary that caused the phone to reboot

Thanks, that was a tricky one. Another fairly useless thing too stare at endlessly moving my finger across the screen!

I have noticed the covers are different from the portrait mode ones.

Yea, but it keeps the IPhone guys at bay

rjoudrey

Actually it OK. Kind of like looking through my record collection in the attic. It appears to be reading the ID3 tags where the stock app may not.

fam

lol ironically I sold my ipod touch for 150 yesterday (1st gen 16gb bought for 209 at bb well over a year ago).

2.02 seems to be doing great.... no reboots yet.

Are live wallpapers an option on sholes? Didnt see it.

craigrn16

If I already installed the sholes updater and everything is working fine how do I go back and remove the Jit without doing that crap all over again. The reason I ask is, although I have no wierd reboots my browser keeps force closing, especially when trying to type on this sight. I heard turning off the jit(whatever that is solves everything). How do I go back and do that?

Doubledee90

Installing 2.02 now. I hope it is more stable

shrink57

I just noticed since installing 2.02 my custom ringtones are not playing (the stock ones are fine). I am going to try installing again. Not a deal breaker but strange (I can play the ringtones in the mediaplayer). Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to flash I go...

craigrn16

Can someone help me please. How do I fix the browser force close issue? Do turn the jit off that I see everyone talking about? If so how do I do that? I downloaded the sholes updater yesterday and have had no problems except for browser. Not even a reboot. And what is this 2.02 everyone is talking about? Is it an update to the sholes update already?

fam

2.02 came out today. Go pick it up, flash, then maybe your FC's will be gone?

craigrn16

[quote=fam;323661]2.02 came out today. Go pick it up, flash, then maybe your FC's will be gone?[/QUOTEo

ok I can find that on alldroid.com? As you can see I'm very new to this rooting thing. And what does the superuser permissions do?

iamloco724

can someone answer this for me please if i install this and then want to go back to exactly how my droid was before installing this root is it easy and flawless and how is it done?

shrink57

[quote=craigrn16;323680]If you run the SholesMod Updater again it should allow you to choose, download and install the latest 2.02 update.

rjoudrey

You have to download and execute the new SMU at:

http://downloads.sholes.info/smupdater.apk

it will bring up the updater with the new rom info.

rjoudrey

There are two options:

1) Stock 2.0.1 (no root)

2) Sholes MOD 2.0.2

Although I have not tried #1 it should do the trick. Maybe you need to ask someone at the Sholes.info site.

Doubledee90

2.02 is a great update..the 2.1 launcher works great and no FCs yet

emdmao

what is the difference between this and bugless beast? how would I OC if I rooted myself and installed beast?

kbayer

Is going to the Sholes app in the marketplace the SAME as the downloading from the site?
