    Root EB01 high % time without signal?

    Been spending so much time screwing around with EB01 lately that I never really gave much of a thought to reception or battery life, but lately I've noticed that I typically get anywhere from 10-20% (and sometimes as high as 50!) without signal in an area where I previously had no issues (<4%...

    Root Question about divorcing EB01 kernel from EB01 ROM

    I'm running SC 2.1 voodoo and would like to flash EB01 stock deodexed, but retain the voodoo kernel and lagfix. Is this possible? If so, what is involved? Simply remove the "kernel_update" folder from the zip, or is there more to it than that?

    Root softkey freakout issue

    Apologies for semi-crossposting, but I'm a bit unsure of the proper protocol. I posted about a softkey issue here - http://androidforums.com/fascinate-support-troubleshooting/267305-softkeys-randomly-turn-off-freak-out.html I decided to post in troubleshooting because it seemed more...

    Help softkeys randomly turn off or freak out

    Alright, so I've been having this problem on and off with every kernel/rom that I've tried for as long as I can remember, and I would say *probably* with the stock rom/kernel as well (though I don't recall for sure). It happens something like this - I hit one of the softkeys, and either the...

    Root Do kernels affect reception strength/consistency?

    I ask because they recently put a VZW macro-antenna on the building across the street from where I work, and for the first week after I returned from Christmas vacation, I'd have a solid 3-4 bars all day long. Since doing more extensive ROM/kernel modifications to my phone, I notice that my...

    Root Voodoo5 newbie, couple of quick questions...

    I was under the impression that CWM should be red when once a voodoo kernel is installed, but this is not the case for me. Is this normal? Apologies in advance if this should have gone in the troubleshooting section.

    Root Captivate "Serendipity" equivalent?

    So my friend who has a Captivate decided to root his phone today and flashed a 2.2-based ROM that seems pretty complete and even has a nice gingerbread theme. I see nothing even remotely comparable to this on the Fascinate landscape. Is the Fascinate the red-headed stepchild of the GS family?

    Root How to check CPU voltage on UV kernel?

    Installed StupidFast 1.54 and all seems well so far... confirmed that it is flashed via SetCPU, but can't seem to find a way to check that the voltage settings took. Not that I doubt it, just like to see it with my own eyes :D

    Root Quick question about upgrading to DJ05 Stock

    Following the directions here: [RELEASE] DJ05 rom, kernel, radio - xda-developers Everything makes sense and I've got all the tools and files I need to do this, but the author says "Data wipe is essential" - What exactly does he mean by this? The two options I see closest to this are "wipe...

    Root confused about installing CWM Recovery

    So both the page linked here and the description on ROM Manager's app page mention CWM compatible kernels and using Odin, but when I installed ROM Manager and tell it to flash CWM recovery, it claims success and now tells me the latest version is installed each time I open it :confused: Sorry...

    Root Fascinate rooter looking for suggestions

    Greetings and salutations. I've been lurking here for a few weeks and finally worked up the nerve to root my Fascinate yesterday using the guide posted in your sticky. Everything went without a hitch, and so far have done the following: Removed (via backup to SDcard)...
