Root [ROM/CWM/OC-KERNEL] [OA]2.3.20-[FINAL] CRICKET+MPCS [Updated: 09/23/12]

The plot thickens... on some boots I've noticed that the freezing that seems to occur is really the phone not displaying the app or utility I just opened. As an example, I opened the drawer and chose Voltage Control, the usual popup indicates that it has been granted super user permission, but the screen continues to show the drawer. When I press the home button it shows the Voltage Control window, but I can't interact with it. This behavior was been consistent during this last boot, but at least I'm able to rotate the screen so it redraws. Changing the CPU to 480 mhz makes no difference with this issue.

This last boot seems to be working much better, though. I've been able to do more stuff in the Play store without it closing on me. Maybe reinstalling CWM, clearing everything but the SD card, and reflashing did the trick.

Did you try using cwm to partition the sd card? A wild solution, but it may help.

Good idea, but I just tried it several times and no dice.

This rom is still usable, but rotating the screen to redraw the windows is a bit tiresome. Does anyone else just use their phone over wifi? I doubt that has anything to do with the problem I'm encountering, but might as well toss that out there.

Are you talking launcher redraws? If you are, and you're using holo, I think it's a bug in the launcher. I disabled rotation on the launcher for that reason alone. Try another launcher with less widgets and see what happens...And if I'm way off base, I apologize. I'm late to the party haha

You should always format everything except the sd card when flashing a new rom. If youre still having problems maybe try another cpu app, i think SPZ0 mentioned this before. Also be advised there is another page for this rom where spz0 appears to be hanging out:

It's my first time experiencing it. I haven't downloaded the update zip yet but has been working fine until this weird thing happened. I wonder what may be causing it Just tried it again and still the same thing. Once It's done saving the pictures I deleted, I am finally able to save attachments

I know in linux when you delete something it usually gets stored in .thrash, if it's the same with android where can I find such folder?

Anyone else having gps wonkiness with this? Since going to OA 2.3.12, gps is no longer stable on my Vitality.

It connects okay, but doesn't maintain a lock worth a crap. Google Nav is almost useless at this point as it freaks out every 20-30 seconds while in motion. Even my squareup.com app for credit processing (which requires gps for setting the place where the transaction occurred) has to think about where it is quite often.

The gps DOES work, it just doesn't seem very stable now.

What baseband you running?

I assume you're talking about system select in mobile networks?
That doesnt matter. Just set it to automatic (which it should be set to by default).
my rom does not alter the radio or baseband in any way, so you were probably truly just getting 1x. Did you *228 (or whatever the prl programming number is for mpcs)?

i just want to change the status bar is thetre any way that ican change it because this is my favorite rom but i cant stand looking at that status bar

If your referring to the bar at the top with the time in then its not possible to change it in settings. I know when the rom is ready (which it is not) they will start to theme it so expect changes then.

If your referring to the notifications pull-down window, ive already lobbied spz0 on this. I understand he made some changes recently which i havent tried. Ive always preferred stock as the lines are a little mezmerising and the logo is more of a distraction that doesnt fit with the rests of the phones theme. Ive always favoured a static open android logo in the startup animation.

Hope this helps.
