Root [ROM] CTMod 3.80 (04/06/13)

On 2.1, I use Handcent SMS for texting, and whenever I get a text this box thingy pops up and in this box thingy it texts SUPER SLOWWW, but if I go in the app itself and text, it's fine. I'll look into this issue myself, because it might be my fault, but I just thought I should report this anyways

I'm using Handcent with no ill effects and have been since the first CTMod for for GB . Just wanted to letcha know that it will work properly . :D

I had this same issue: go to handcent > settings > Notification settings > popup settings > make sure quick popup is on, screen on is off, blur background is off, and auto open onscreen keyboard is off

Bloodawn,

When I go to settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile Networks

It Force Closes:

"Sorry! The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

Lately I've been having issues with my 3G and now my texts stop being sent. I'm still on 2.1 but the phone was working perfectly fine just the day before. It's sorta random that now all of a sudden it's not working.

Read up through the thread. That's a known "problem". It has to do with improvements made elsewhere. The notification widget works just fine, use that instead

I installed this yesterday and figured I would try it out and see my battery life after a normal day at work and must say it is a ton better. I use to worry about being able to get through a day of work on a full charge but after using CTMod 2.2 I am still at 53% and I even worked overtime today so have to say awesome mod and really saves the battery over stock.

Hoping for some awesome themes for this like the others I seen from you keep up the great work!!!

just thought I would share... Converted a movie to 480x320 with sothink. Charged phone to 100%. rebooted and ran movie (1 hour 45 min.) with moboplayer with sound up to max on headphones or close (airplane mode). rebooted when done, and phone says 72% battery. I think that is pretty good! Nice to know it will work through some long days.

Hey all I want to provide the simple script that I edited to allow me to quickly reinstall some of the stock apps I like for CTMOD. I know there is a lot of people out there that have issues with it or are hesitant to do it.

It's pretty easy just edit the bat file. If you need to add more apps just follow the same pattern.

NOTE: Please read the included README before you use this! You need to have USB Debugging on! You have to have USB Debugging on and be tethered to the PC via a USB Cable. Then all you have to do is run "reinstall stock apps.bat"

I know this isn't the best way to do it, but it works for me. Gives me easier time to modify it on the go when I want to add/remove certain apps.

This will also install the Email.apk fix that Bloodawn made :)

reinstall_stock.zip

Have fun!

Special thanks to Shabby, Bloodawn, Hoark, and all the others :)

Thanks X. Very good job documenting each step. Very straighrtforward and easy to customize to individual taste. I have not read beyond your post but I guess it is important to note that this unzipped directory batch file is ran from a PC tethered to the phone via USB cable, as in the original One Click Root so that ADB commands can be issued. Maybe can be ran from the phone terminal too? But not from CWM zip or ODIN.

you could, but you'd have to put the files on your sdcard, either as a compressed file (i.e. zip) or put all of them in a directory so they are easy to find.

then on the phone, you'd have to set permissions on the script file, then execute it. and teh script would be nothing more than unzipping the compressed file, and then just doing a copy from the temp directory to the app folder.

basically, there are enough steps in doing it on the phone that you might as well just do it manually on the phone

Thanks Kouma. I thought it would be more trouble than it is worth, but I threw that out there for the folks you rarely use a PC and like to do it from their phone. I am slowly becoming that way myself...

the terminal on the phone is such a pita compared to ADB :)

LOL. Glad you posted. That reminds me, it is time to do a KoumaOdinPack on my current CTMOD 2.2 setup. It is running great and I want to Kouma it.

I had it running right over the weekend and then tried to put on the Bluetooth fix (before it got deleted) without backing up and got fruitlooped. Thought I had CWM backed up the previous night but apparently had not. Had to reinstall 2.2 all over. Not big deal but learned a valuable lesson. When it is stable, do a Kouma Odin Pack to save it for posterity.

Phone running so good that I even put the Kindle app back on to read some books. Gave up on this when I first bought the phone. But with GB, A2SD and CTMOD, it is a brave new world. (Already read that in high school).

Yeah it's a simple script. You have to have USB Debugging on and be tethered to the PC. Then all you have to do is run reinstall stock apps.bat

It's a very simple script and easy to modify like you said. I tried to make it as simple as possible for people to understand.

Honestly, the reason I did it was because I was getting tired of having to copy the files to the SDCARD, then transfer them to system/app then change the permissions, change the ownership. Was too much of a hassle.

So instead I did this script and what took me minutes before takes me literally only seconds :) I'm glad it helped at least someone.

On a side note: I just edited the original post to make it clearer.

I'm actually having a bit of a problem with the odin with regards to CTMod. ODIN seems to have a problem writing system and data images that are not rfs. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't

CTMod images have been particularly problematic. Dunno why. All the data is there and is saved, it can be extracted with a linux machine. Dunno what the problem is

Overall so far I have had great results. The one thing I notice is when the phone is upright and the keyboard is on if I flip the phone to the side, once the screen auto rotates the keyboard will close.

The best thing so far is I left the house with a full charge at 6:15am and I just plugged it in right now. I have never spent a full day at work without plugging in my phone since the day I bought it.

This was with plenty of time on the internet today :D

EDIT: this is also with maps, email, and a weather channel app installed and those three like to run in the background a lot so I'm always killing them when I get a chance
