Awesome work - thanks for stepping up!

 

[Magnus]

Yeah from Boot Manager seems like when you reboot you go back to your phone ROM and have no way to get to recovery. SBF time for us as well heh

 

[Magnus]

Sorry to everyone having trouble with Boot Manager. I didn't try it as an sdcard ROM. I don't know why that would mess up; maybe because both ROMs use the same boot method? (DXC's modified CMDefy bootmenu). I've never used Boot Manager so I wouldn't know.

Yeah that could be it. I had MIUI as my phone rom. Switched it to CM7GB. Might give it a try with this as my phone rom to see if it still has the reboot issues.

wow thats just what I didnt want to do. But do we know why this is happening and the last time I actully sbf'd it ruined the battery and the internal charging chip or whatever and i saw the ? in my battery logo however with this rom it actually shows the battery instead of the ? and it even shows the charging sign that a plus. but yeah i cant boot in to cwm recovery because it wont show the leds flashing and from the RED M screen all it does is got throught the tunnel to the boot logo the leds were flashing last night thats what I dont understand...

Are there any other ports that have the radio working
and what recover boot strap must i use in order to restore my backup of my default ROM

Um you should not be using a boot strap app with this. While running any 2nd Init rom you do NOT use a bootstrap app (such as Droid X Bootstrapper & Droid 2 Bootstrapper). You can try just rebooting the phone normally and see if that comes up, but if you've used a bootstrap app I don't know what adverse effects that could have on the 2nd-Init rom.

SBFing shouldn't do anything to your battery - but before you SBF you should try to get into stock recovery and do a data/factory reset. (if you can't before do it after the SBF).

Everyone needs to keep in mind, if you are not comfortable SBFing your phone, or don't want to SBF, you shouldn't flash early releases of ROMs like this, because there's always a good chance you'll have to SBF to get back.

I use Boot Manager, so I can't say for sure, but seems like there could be some issues getting into recovery, can someone without boot manager confirm or deny this?

 

[Magnus]

Battery life seems good. 10 hours so far and only down to 80%.

 

[Magnus]

firstEncounter - gratz on the Droid-Life shout out!

 

[Magnus]

Weird - did a cat.jpg and from ROM Manager did create a backup and after it went into CWR and did the backup, when it booted back up I no longer have 3G. Going to try multiple types of reboots (airplane on etc. ). I accidentally flashed a different boot image (replace the red motorola M) in ROM Toolbox last night - and I noticed I no longer get the blue light on bootup to get into the bootmenu on boot. not sure if those are related or not.

 

[Magnus]

In the OP:

FAQ:

• How do I access recovery?
  • Press the volume down button during boot when the LED flashes blue. Use the volume buttons to scroll through the lists and the power button to select. (In recovery, the camera button is select.)
  • DO NOT USE cat.jpg! THIS WILL DESTROY WIFI AND RADIO FIXES.

Damn cat...

Oops my bad hadn't checked the updates in the OP in a while - I'll make sure to check the OP for updates in the future. On the plus side I booted into recover - and just reflashed the Zip and then did GApps and looks like i'm back to normal.

 

[Magnus]

Yeah I have boot manager - I just installed it as the phone rom - but haven't actually ran "Setup Phone ROM".

 

[Magnus]

Has anyone experienced an issue where in a phone call - you come accross more quit than normal? Since I've been on this ROM i've had people complain the can't hear me very well on phone calls.

 

[Magnus]

Any chance the property limit you increased might help using the 4.0.3 version?

 

[Magnus]

Anyone else having volume issues on a call? on this ROM i have people complaining that i sound like i'm whispering even when they turn there call volume all the way up. Went back to CM7 to make sure it wasn't my phone, and everything was fine on CM7 when talking to people.

Even if they don't say i'm quiet i can tell they are having trouble hearing me having to repeat myself quite often.

 

[Magnus]

You have to FORMAT SYSTEM or it doesn't work.

Pretty sure FirstEncounter said he was going to enable our NFC chip in the next build...

 

[Magnus]

Uh... what?

It's a problem on all gingerbread 2nd-init ROMs. I know how to fix that, HDMI, and 1% increments, it'll just take a little while.

Awesome to see we could potentially get fixes for charge light, HDMI and 1% incremenets, that is just awesome!

 

[Magnus]

Anyone been able to get the CM9 music app to install? It just fails to install for me.

 

[Magnus]

Yeah the stock music player are named the same but are signed with different keys. I had to remove the stock music player, reboot then install the app.

Ah - I didn't reboot after deleting the stock player - let me give that a go - thanks!
