oh hey, if youre flashing cyanogenmod, make sure you wipe the caches at least once. trust me

edit: totally unrelated sidenote.... have you seen teh droid charge? it looks like a samsung evo wannabe LMAO!! same specs, just a better bettery life and prolly about 25 lbs lighter lol well that and an amoled display. toooooo funny

 

[youdoofus]

are ya up n runnin? if so thats awesome man

 

[ocnbrze]

yeah, but im bored lol well i guess i havent seen this law n order episode yet. now watch, ill get all wrapped up in it and not see the outcome till hes all fixed up. its usually the u.k. version of top gear that gets me that distracted, but SVU is quite the show!! hey ocn, remember like 4-5 mos ago when i was about as green as a fresh blade of grass? i can totally identify with what this guy is going thru lol

lol!!!!but now your a pro and very much appreciated.

I love you guys, it was the mod OMG....

and what mod is that might i ask? and what rom?

aslo i would really recommend that you not use rom manager and that you switch recoveries.

 

[youdoofus]

thanks ocn it was buggin the ever livin crap outta y'all that got me there!! well that and some limited previous linux knowledge(which is where im sure many of us started)

man, this forum should switch to an instant update xml code or something more akin to a chat room... LoL

I have cyanogenMod the recent one. Yeah that rom manger boned me big time. Its night and day using the stock rom to this one. It seems a lot nicer and gives the user more control. Only thing i cant do is get my damn google account to work. Screw my contacts i have google voice and sipgate if i need to find any1s number.

I will check out the other roms that you guys posted, im extremely intrigued in the differences between them.

 

[youdoofus]

you need to flash gapps (google apps) which will require going back into recovery. if you dont have itMEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service here ya go

you flash it just as you did the rom. it installs the market too. if you dont know what i mean, try n launch the market, itll loop back to the home screen. this zip file flashed to your device will fix that

 

[youdoofus]

oh, and you think that the different roms are interesting? wait till you delve into the realm of kernels!!! that one will bone your brain!! LoL

Ooo Sickness Do you have to flash it to every new rom or just this one?

 

[thesssfactor]

is kernals that things you use to hook up your wii controller?


of thats it, thats my next step ;p

 

[ocnbrze]

yep, anytime you want to flash an aosp rom you have to flash the gapps file. also i would recommend that you do some research into the rom you want to flash. head on over to xda where most of the roms and devs are at.

no kernels basically helps out with battery life. it controls how much power to use between software and hardware. if you ask me and doofus we would recommend that you try tiamat kernel. you can get it in my sig ref#2. also keep in mind that kernels do not react the same on every phone. what works for me and doofus may not work for you.

 

[youdoofus]

well, cyanogenmod is an aosp rom, and for some goofy reason the devs(developers) dont include it in the rom zips. (im guessing its caused irreconcilable issues) but yes, its reqd when changin to another aosp rom, however you dont need rom specific gapps file, theyre universal for all aosps (well, all that ive encountered so far lol) so flash it via recovery, and youre about as set as you need to be, beyond gettin it tweaked to your personal liking. and btw, there are sooooooooo many ways to change things on these devices that you might even be unaware that these parameters exist. it can be a simple thing to have a new o.s., but it can be as in depth as you like too. if you wanna keep it simple, thats all good, but if you wanna flex the nerd muscle, we can direct ya to the right place

 

[youdoofus]

hell yeah!! tiamat (thanks evomattnc!!!!) is sooooooo good to my phone, but like ocn stated, it may not work well for you. lets just get gapps installed so you have the market, and if you are experiencing bad battery life, well go further homey

 

[thesssfactor]

unfortunately unless you are in the beta program with swype or flash a rom that has swype in it, we are not allowed to provide the swype.apk. just sign up for it on there web site. cm7 will never have swype installed. however, there is a lot of roms out there that has it.

 

[youdoofus]

what?!?!?!? are there effen red tape restictions preventing us from posting it? i have it on my hard drive.....

yep, i remember when the betas were rolling out people here and on other sites were posting them. then swype came down on those sites including this one pretty hard and so we are not allowed to post them here or any place else. lame i know. however, swype is officially on stock and most roms. not sure why the cm team does not include it in theres.
