I have been waiting about 20 mins for my phone to reboot. It just stays on the m logo screen. Should I keep waiting. Also I didn't do a wipe cuz it said it was not necessary

It might be a kernel issue, try rebooting into recovery and changing to another kernel.

After installing this my gmail fc's. Any ideas? Tried
Clearing cache.

Fixed. Clear data also.

Alright I have been on 4.7 for 24hrs and so far I like it. I had some issues with Gmail FC's and glitches so I wiped and everything works smoothly. I could not get apps to restore but that is not a big deal to me. The rom runs very smooth and seems to run cooler then Liquid. I think I like liquid better at this point, but am going to keep runner 4.7 for a bit.

Pushed out an OTA patch last night - pretty cool. I wasn't having any of the issues fixed other than the 3g/wifi icon - process worked good.

Running faster than ever. what can you say another great one from chevy.

scottsdca · Aug 20, 2010

Has anybody else had a keyboard issue where the % and & are supposed to be? Some kind of glitch.

Yeah, although for me it's the & and < symbols that have that issue. I love the mod though but think I can do without the droid 2 keyboard (not a huge fan so far). When I get home I'm going to reinstall the the mod without the keyboard I think and maybe try out some different kernals as well.

What launcher are you using? Your bottom buttons look sweet!

qwer777 · Aug 20, 2010

Im using the notheme version of Simply Stunning 4.7, and some parts of it are still themed, such as messaging and search. would it be possible to untheme them?

Nyghtryder_9 · Aug 20, 2010

Launcher pro with the Lp icons and dock.

Same here. And I kept hitting the "." when typing. Had to reinstall the ROM without the keyboard.

- OTA patch capability - yet to be tested (on YOU

)! I can now push out updates to all phones running my ROM. Everything EXCEPT a full ROM update. That is better left to you or Rom Manager. But any other updates, including patching APK's, I can now do automagically

I personally have an issue with anyone besides VZW being able to push software to my phone. Not that I don't trust ChevyNo1 cuz he builds some great ROMs, but I'd like to know what keeps someone else from doing the same, saying they're ChevyNo1 or using the same process to push some hackware or other crap to my phone.

Maybe it would be a little more easier to deal with if i knew how it works...

EAK128 · Aug 21, 2010

I could have sworn my statusbar was black before the patch, now it's transparent, anybody else notice this?

update... looks like a simple restart fixed the transparent statusbar for me.

sranger · Aug 21, 2010

So far, this is hands down the best ROM I have tried. It truly solved the AAC+ streaming issue and runs quick, stable and low temp. I am using the stock 1Mhz LV kernel and it works great....

As for the OTA update, you have to go to Settings->ChevyNo1 Tools and accept the installation so I would not worry about it too much. Go here if you want to learn more about it:

Thanks for the No Theme updates.... They did the trick....

I am extremely happy about the music controls in SS 4.7! It makes the Droid so much easier to use as an mp3 device. The only problem I have is that the camera button periodically gets toggled in my pocket and music starts playing when I don't want it to.

Is there an easy way to toggle the music controls on and off?

Highland Ranger · Aug 22, 2010

its in the settings under chevy tools i believe

Ebaneezor · Aug 22, 2010

This is tempting

Here is the answer straight from the SS site:

"2. You can now control your tunes (Media Player, Pandora tested) while the screen is off! Longpress volume up/down to skip tracks. Camera focus (lightpress) to pause/play. Camera shutter (hardpress) to toggle the extended media controls on/off (not permanent like Tools UI which sticks beyond a reboot). I did NOT add graphical controls to the lockscreen. To me it seems pointless."

Crazy_J · Aug 24, 2010

I've been running 4.71 for a little over 24 hours now, coming from 4.6. My phone love this rom I switched to lv 1.25 ghz chevy Kernel. And its screaming fast, melting ice smooth, and I only needed to charge at about 6pm (phone unplugged @ 6:30 am). I'm stoked, and loving this ROM almost as much as I loved being rooted for the first time.

Did you get patch #1? It removed the 'toggle' and changed the pause to a hardpress (shutter) on the camera button. That should solve the issue ...

Gunner · Aug 24, 2010

Anybody have a fix for the Gmail FC issue, besides wiping data/cache? I was trying to avoid that.

droid9 · Aug 24, 2010

Gunnar, try clearing the data & cache of the Gmail app (not the phone) and resync.

ChevyNo1 · Aug 24, 2010

droid9 is correct on the gmail fix
