ok got it to download try installing it its starts the it say installation abort it
You must have a bad download, I would redownload or try to check the MD5 code against the one under the download link. Also which recovery are you using? There should be an error message with a code like this
E: Error in Update.zip (Status 7)
Update.zip is not correct
Installation aborted.

Installed this. Very nice but yet to test gps.

I do have, a big issue but its a froyo thing I guess. Stock Triumph had it as well. Its a bug the Moto Triumph has when you quickly turn the phone screen off and on. You'll see some weird glitchy lines pop up for a sec and then go away. It pisses me off since it looks like the screen is messed up.

I'm guessing its a software/rom issue because MIUI took it out completely. I never saw it under that rom, as soon as I installed this, it came back. I hope installing a different launcher fixes this.

Can't duplicate this on my phone.
Try this workaround. When you turn off the phone then back on quickly, before turning the phone back on close both eyes for 5 seconds. The problem should go away. :D

But seriously, curious that it doesn't happen on my phone.

I think MIUI doesn't have the same video drivers enabled that is why the screen glitch is present. Some HQ games won't play on MIUI.

I have that glitch too. Doesn't bother me now. Guess that I got used to it

Anybody know what I am doing wrong when flashing Sense Sharp?

I tried wipe data then flash the zip file then I reboot and it kept rebooting. Do I need to flash BSydz Sharp v6 first then flash Sharp Sense.


The sense sharp is not a standalone ROM. It is a theme for the sharp ROM. Flash it over a dirty install of sharp. Look for instructions on how to perform a dirty install.

Noticed this phone can take HD video. Anyone wanna do comparisons? MIUi recorded .3gp video files, this rom can record mp4/720p/1080p or so I think. This phone records like ass (< 24fps) we should see if this rom's camera is better.

Ps: how can you guys deal with froyo software? Makes me feel sick, like when I drag down the window/notifications, I wish it has shortcuts, was more useful.

Not sure what you're getting at in your first paragraph, is "records like ass" a good thing or a bad thing?
As to Froyo I would much prefer Gingerbread but I couldn't find a GB ROM that worked very well at all. ICS isn't ready and probably never will be. On GB ROM's while making a phone call my dialer would go black when I put it up to my face like it should, but it would never come back. I would have to wait until the phone closed the call on its own before I could put it away. The phone would lock several times per day, each lockup requiring a battery pull. I was getting so good at pulling the battery I could do it one handed while shaving. The touchpad was glitchy, parts of the touchpad would go numb and not come back until you went back to the home screen. I could never get Bluetooth and WIFI to work simultaneously. In short Gingerbread makes my phone prettier (when its not locked up) but dumber.
Conversely with this ROM I haven't had to pull the battery in the two weeks I've been using it. Screen transitions are smooth and fast. It does what I want it to every time, without fail. WIFI comes on in a couple of seconds after waking up the phone. Battery last longer more often. GPS locks in the blink of an eye. Dialer works without a glitch. The list of problems this ROM has is short and items are minor.
To summarize, on this ROM my phone works like a hot ass, on Gingerbread my phone works like a lard ass. If I could find a Gingerbread ROM that worked as well as this one I would switch in a heartbeat and never look back.

I renamed the files copied them into the zip file overwriting the original files and tried to flash the ROM. Wouldn't work. What did I do wrong?

You don't need to rename them. Just open the Sharp rom and the stock rom with 7zip or something similar (without unzipping) and delete the ContactsProvider_Home3_hdpi.apk, Contacts_Home3_FB3_hdpi.apk and phone.apk and then copy the contacts.apk, contactsprovider.apk, and phone.apk from the stock deodexed rom into the Sharp rom.

I don't understand. What is an advanced restore of boot?

Install gingersharp rom after you boot once you can go back in to clockworkmod and do a backup then when you install stocksharprom you can go back into clockworkmod after the first boot and go to restore and backup then go to advanced restore then pick the gingersharp rom backup and restore only the boot and nothing else. Reboot and done.
