And what the hell is that in refference to? Everyone needs to get the bugs out of their own asses, and not just the phones........
It's not about that at all, I know you haven't been around the scene much so I'll shoot you straight. We here are those who, for whatever reason, ended up with the lowest model Android phones that they make. The truth of the matter is, we aren't supposed to have a kick ass device, we're supposed to have a crappy little, free with two year service plan or free upgrade smartphone. The reason that I get better linpak results than the droid 2 and a few others, (more expensive and better equipped phones, I mind you) is solely because a few people wouldn't settle for minimum experience. That's what the guy said to me the day I got my phone. I said "Cool, an android phone, I've been wanting one of those". The chuckle head verizon guy replied with "Yeah but this phone will only give you the minimum experience". I was crushed, my first ever not "suck" phone and I'll only ever get the minimum experience of a smartphone. That's when I found out about root access and custom roms and finally, the Velocity roms. All of a sudden I had a kick ass device, a phone my friends were jealous of. It's like the Corolla AE86 of android phones. Tweek'em up just right and they'll run circles around "flagship" devices. It's understandable to have a couple of issues from time to time, that's part of the experience, makes you smarter afterwards. I think it's how you asked for help rather than what you were asking for. Remember you're talking about chinks in the armor of awesome afterall. I really don't know if you're good to go now or not, people rarely ever put up that final update but if you are still having problems I would recommend the IRC channel and not so much the forums. The same guys who build these roms are there to help pull guys like you and me, cause yeah I think we've all been there a time or two, from the fire.
freenode Web IRC (qwebirc) that's the address to get there. Once there sign up or use guest account or whatever the hell they call it and ask away. I don't mean to come off as a dick and I hope I haven't, it's just that there are avenues in place to get you up and solid and you seem to be lingering in the slow lane. Waisting time waiting for a reply, getting into an argument, waiting for actual advice, repeating your method/problem, getting into another argument, blah blah blah. Use the tools available, you said you've already read through the threads, well this tip is on the Rom Release page in the post at the bottom of the first one. Just trying to save you the aggrevation and frustration of taking this course of action in your quest for Ally Greatness. I hope for you the very best of luck, and welcome to The Ally Forums.
