Root 5.0.5 CyanogenMod 5.0.5 available!

[andrew53517]

Seems fine, I flashed it earlier and I actually think it's much better.

Everyone who is worried about the whole "cell stand by stuff." let it go. It can't be fixed I guess because it's something in then nexus build that causes it. I don't know why but if you read on cyanogen's forum, the nexus has the same problem. It does not cause a decrease in battery life or anything for me.

On heavy use, same use I used for Simply stunning, I get easily 12 hours, if not MORE on average! I generally get around 14 hours I'd say. That seems about right for everyday. So battery life is fine. I've been using his ROM for the past week too.

Easier when it does not decrease battery.. but it did for me .. once the NexTheme is out I will probably switch, although might switch to try a it before I add the theme

I had the 50% stand by with no signal. I saw it in my settings too. But I read that for some reason it's just like that. I agree it's quite frustrating. I think it depends where I go for it to happen. Like when I'm home and not at school it seems fine. But when I go to class, it appears maybe a little which might decrease the battery. Idk, try it out and see what happens. Overall, this ROM flys with live wallpapers I noticed! Like they perform very will when switching screens. Browser is great. Everything seems good! I hope this is enough for you to switch back soon!

Also, the NexTheme will be out very soon. He said he'd drop it as soon as Koush drops 5.0.5, so I'd imagine anytime now.. I can't wait too! I loved the look of it!!

I'm thinking I may have to go back to SG 6.0 it seems very sluggish to me. I can barely switch from 1 screen to the other. And I'm getting FCs on the launcher. I wiped everything too before I installed this so I don't know what the deal is?

 

[jr313]

I upgraded to 5.0.5 earlier today at first it was fc on me like crazy too but i didnt wipe so i wiped all and its working just fine for me...the battery life has bn about the same for me its good no complaints and i cant wait for NexTheme to arrive either...

 

[droidpcguru]

I backed up my old faithful Tweaked Sholes 2.0.6 setup, Installed Rom Manager, flashed Clockwork, downloaded 5.0.5+addons+google apps, and then flashed the ROM(I of course selected to do a wipe. Everything seems to be working fine, except that I cannot sign in to my google account.

I'm sure I am missing something small and am looking into it, but can anyone tell me where I screwed up?

 

[andrew53517]

Did you spell everything right? ... I always put @yahoo.com lol. It's because I use the same email usernames. But I don't know why. Maybe try turning it off and on? I'm not sure. Anyone else have any ideas?

 

[droidpcguru]

Yup tried everything I know of so far.. no luck. Browser works fine on 3G and WiFi so I know my connections are ok.., just no luck signing in. It tells me i have no dat5a connection, and when I try on WiFi it still will not connect.

Reading through the official thjread on 5.0.5, I see quite a few bugs.. i may just go to Ultimate V8.. If I don't like that, I will try BB 0.9.. and if all else fails I will just reflash SPrecovery and bring my old Soles 2.0.6 back..lol

Andrew,

but 5.0.5 did not really start until page 33 or 34.. on the Cyanogen forum

 

[andrew53517]

Andrew,

what speed you running the CPU at?

I run all my ROM's at 600/1000 (or the max kernel I can get ). But the profile settings are also the same throughout the other ROM's too. So these settings are the same for every ROM I use.

EDIT: So I couldn't attach the files because they were too large. So here's my setting (well, the important ones):

Screen ON:
Max: 1000
Min: 600

Sleep/Standby:
Max: 600
Min: 250

 

[ssantan2]

yea it was something in spare parts but by the time I found that out I reinstalled and wiped data lol. I cant wait for nexTheme to come out though

 

[droidpcguru]

Flashing Ultimate V8 as I type..I may restore 5.0.5 if I can find out what happened.

That is my favorite theme. Looks and runs great.

Man I love these guys (Koush&Cyan). Best ROM's out IMO. They might have a few bugs here and there but the features and options they have are not met by any other dev. I just donated $65 to Koush and $50 to Cyan (haha I have given Cy like $300 bucks since way back when I had my G1). Apps2SD is great but in all honesty do we really need it? I haven't had any trouble with running out of memory for apps yet, and I'm not willing to shell out however much it is for a class 6 16GB microSD IF they even make REAL ones. Anything less then class 6 and you may have problems loading and running certain apps.

 

[-=Jeff=-]

So out of the few bugs with 5.0.5. Are any of them causing the Droid to have issues being a phone? meaning able to send receive calls without issues ETC? Battery life like the 'rest' of the ROMs out there?

 

[CRPercodani]

Oh and if anyone needs help with partitioning your sd card for A2SD then hit me up, I am a seasoned veteran when it comes to that. When we ran Hero/Sense ROM's on the G1 we HAD TO have 3 partitions, one for storage, one for A2SD and one for linux swap. I know at first it looks sorta intense but it is super easy once you get the hang of it. Hopefully Koush enables a option in his recovery to do it. Amon_RA had the sickest recovery every for the G1/MT3G/N1

I had the same problem with google apps. The theme is amazing but I am waiting for hax to figure out some of the issues before I mess with it again
