Root Cyanogen Mod 5.0.6... best to date

Updated over the weekend but didn't use the phone much so can't comment on battery life improvements. Seemed promising though.

Testing today so far has me at 86% after almost 4 hours of what I would consider "normal" use.

If the comments here are any indication, I am optimistic :)

Three cheers for the Cyanogen team!

Buckshot, also since I have rooted my phone my wifi won`t say on when phone goes to sleep, before I rooted it, it would stay on the whole time, because this allows me to get email alerts at work and home using wifi, but now after about 10-15 mins after the phone has gone to sleep, the wifi turns off, I wouldn`t worry about it but I don`t have a Data plan and I have my data blocked through ATT, so I use wifi only, and suggestions would be great.:)

i think you can go into: Settings > Wireless & network settings > Wi-fi settings > press on the 4 horizontal lines (one of the 4 buttons at the bottom) to bring up the menu > Advanced > Wi-fi sleep policy > you can select Never

hopefully that helps

Hi,

First post here, and first time rooting my new Nexus One(received it Friday on Vodafone UK).

Installing the Cyanogen MOD went smoothly thanks to the well documented process, plethora of walkthroughs etc. Everything is great, my only gripe is that I now have Dev Tools, Sim Toolkit, Spare Parts and Superuser Permissions in the menu. Is there any way to remove these? and at what detriment are they to my phone(if friends are using my phone and accidentally 'mess' with them)?


Thanks,


- John

You don't really want to get rid of those items in your apps menu. Although unlikely you'll ever need them it is possible that you may eventually. Especially the "Spare Parts" app which controls MOST of the additional features and additions to the Cyanogen ROM itself.
