Is there no way of getting Android 1.6 back????

I hate 2.1, i think that it performs sluggishly on my phone, sure booting might be faster but everything else is sh*t!!
I have trouble installing apps, they download from the market but don't install!!!
Switching portrait to landscape takes forever!!!
And its just not very good, and as stable as 1.6, i never had any problems with 1.6 on it!!!
Is there ANYWAY at all to get back?????
PLEASE!!!!!!
I hate my phone because of this!!!

No there isnt any way, when you were upgrading, you should have known that already.

I did but i didn't know that 2.1 was going to be so problematic for me!

Try to reflash to 2.1 again, see what happens, maybe you did something wrong that it is so laggy for you.

Try to reflash your phone THEN do a hard reset. That should alleviate most of your issues including the phone being sluggish.

Hey, i fixed it. Quarx rom is so fast.

have fun

Why downgrade to 1.6 man ?!
1. Upgrade it from 1.6 to 2.1
2. Upgrade 2.1 to 2.1 with fastboot
3. Upgrade 2.1 with fastboot to 2.1 with fastboot and Clockwork recovery
4. Add the latest KERNEL
5. Root the phone
6. Flash it with OpenSwift4.3 (most people got problems with 4.4)
7. Download SetCPU and clock it to max 806 - stable
8. Download LauncherPro from the net... Install it and make it your Defoult launcher
9. Now you got the cheapest and best mobile on the EARTH
Im using it without any problems and its quicker and better then my friends HTC Desire !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
btw. dont install any App Killers like Advanced Task Killer or something like that cause its killing your mobile, it doesent help you out... Kills your CPU and battery a lot !

I liked 1.6 but there are few apps I wanted that required 2.1 so I went with the Black Quarx rom, great so far and everything works (afaik). Still think its a shame that the original 1.6 rom isn't available.

[Q] Custom ROM-s

What custom ROM would you guys recommend? That it has to be stable and fast goes without saying
Thnx in advance

I've tried Racht's ones.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914513
Currently I'm under Floyo (2.2.1) because there is app2sd working in this ROM but I think 2.3.2 CM HackDroid ROM is also a good ROM (I was using this before).
For the moment, I recommend you Floyo.
Both of them make your phone twice faster.
There still are some small bugs (as 3.5 jack or some sensors don't work) but these ROM still are in dev.
So be patient and in the future they will be better and better thanks to Racht's work =)
But be careful when you flash your device.
Be aware of the dangers and think to make a backup of your initial ROM before.

thnx, i'll give it a try. I'm aware of all the problems with custom roms. I was just wondering what the most stable rom was atm

Yes you loose all your apps and jit will be still enabled. Download floyo v0.10. First create in xrecovery backup of your current rom. Then extract floyo to sdcard /xrecovery/backup and reboot to xrecovery. in xrecovery do full wipe and then choose Backup and restore -> Restore -> floyo/ -> Yes and reboot phone

Racht's 2.2 I think is the best you can get for the X8. I was really afraid to install it, because I thought it would be buggy, but I was very surprised when I tried it. It's fast, stable and much better than 2.1.

after you flashed what was your internal memory free space??
and as for the gps fix use the fasterfix app they gave inbuilt in the rom..

and i have a problem too..
if i install flash 10.1 or 10.2 and open any site that contain flash contents, the browser just closes..(any browser.. and not force close, just exits )
PS:i had flash 10.1 working in stock 2.1

Mine is menu is smooth, but when i play games he's really laggy..

Happened to me on Cognition v1.5 ,
Solved by removing un-wanted apps,
The problem might exist in some app, mostly in the one asking SU permission.
Try removing some suspicious apps, see if the problem exist.

There are lots of posts about reboots (many by me!) but I don't recall any reboots specifically relating to text entry.
In my own case, my phone misbehaved in a truly random way, with about the only consistant part being that it rebooted normally when it was doing nothing.
You don't say if you just have your phone for 2 days or if this is a new development?
All I can say is that I sent my phone for replacement (a painful process!) and the one I have now is fine. The SGS2 is a great phone when it behaves !!!

i have my phone since 2 months..this issue has been 2 days..tried ninpho kernel ragemod kernel..and 2 or 3 roms but the phone only reboots when entering text in stock messaging app..i surf net for hour..or cal or even use go sms pro then it doesnt happen..and I use the stock msging app which comes with rom..without modding it..dont use bln..I just cant seem to figure out y this is happening on multiple roms!!!

does it happen when using the messaging app on a stock rom

found the problrm today..
The problem is with jkay mod 9.1..I dnt knw wat it causes the reboots bt as soon as I uninstalled the mod and application..the problem ws solved..I m currently on batista rom and sppedmod kernel..and using jkay mod 8.2..no problems nw..
Gonna report it to jkay nw..
Any1 knws hw to get logcat of a prob??

it wasnt a "boot loop" boot loop is when the phone keeps rebooting from boot screen..it was phone random reboot..phone rebooting itself randomly(in my case in text entry)
anyways the problem was solved..
anyone else if having these sorts of problem in new roms(using jkay mod 9.1)
or using jkay mod 9.1 try removing it..or else using 8.2 jkaymod version..

Samsung galaxy s2 random reboots
hi
i have a new samsung galaxy s2 which was originally from bell canada but was unlocked(by imei unlock i think) the firmware is stock
model number : GT-I9100M
Baseband version: I9100MUGKG2
Kernel: [email protected]#2
my issue with this phone is that when im listening to music through the stock headphones via the stock music player it crashes, makes a sound while doung it. gives the media scanning on the bar on the top and the phone signal is not there.
i read from the other posts here that it may be from the sd card so i removed it but its still happening.
any suggestions?
thanks

I know this is an old post but I fixed my reboots by removing all apps from SD card, not had a reboot in months, cant use card for programs, stock ROM

I solved random reboots downgrading from 2.3.6 to 2.35.
Hope it helps.

Move everything from /system/etc/init.d/ to another directory on external_sd.
Flash a rock stable kernel like speedmod k21 without undervolting.
If it doesn't help flash a rock stable rom like Criskelo v38.

Latest/ best current Ginger Mod for A953?

Hi,
I've successfully modded my MS2 yesterday using (walter's?) "ms2ginger-rc2". It's been quite easy - I expected it to be much more difficult.
Unfortunately it's impossible to add accounts (app crashs). Therefore I plan to roll back to the sysbackup Imade before with Clockworkmod and to re-mod it with a newer/ better/ more stable variant.
Can you suggest one that you are happy with? I am fine with Blur - it can be included.
Anything to keep in mind for the rollback? Just revert to the backup via the bootloader?
CU,
Meszi.

i have tried CM7 and was before using it on BackFlip, but on Milestone 2 i am really loving MIUI its great ROM.
The problem is as i saw no one who is maintaining these CM7 or MIUI rom is not Dev, so i kinda think Milestone 2 can perform better with some optimalisation for it. The reason is as far as Stock Froyo was slow, CM7 and MIUI did not show kinda speed progress or increase i guess it is performing same as stock ROM or maybe little but only little better, on BackFlip there was really dramatic speed change on CM7 but the dev around BF was more active then on Milestone and i am happy with what we have already.

As far as I know, the MIUI is the latest one. But that's just because endles7's ( the guy who is porting CM7 to M2) phone is bricked at the moment.
Both, CM7 and MIUI are great ROMs, but, at least for now, if you're looking for the newest one, then MIUI is the one for.
I believe that CM7 will be supported again soon, there is a movement on the forum to buy endles7 a new one if his is really bricked forever.
I'm using MIUI because o like the interface better.
Hope it helped =)

Upgraded to "ms2ginger 1.1" but still problems with accounts management
Hi,
I reverted to Froyo, reloaded the backup I had done with Clockworkmod, made an app backup using Titanium and re-modded the device to "ms2ginger 1.1". But still there is the same issue with accounts ("Konten" in German): When trying to add an account the app crashes.
I am fine with the rest ... it works far faster than with Froyo.
Is there a way to get accounts/"Konten" work again? Probably by finding it in the Titanium backup and taking the old app or by (re)installing some working .apk?
At the moment I am still very new to this topic ... until last week I still believed in the myth having bought an "unmoddable" device.
I'd try CM7, too ... but if it's possible to have it done with "ms2ginger" I'd at first prefer trying it that way.
Any suggestions?
CU,
Mészi.

after trying cm7, i really prefer MIUI Rom on A953 !
but Cyanogen team will soon release a 2.3.7 Rom ... so we'll see !

Switching from MS2Ginger to CM7 Nightly
Sorry, if it appears to be a dumb question. But at the moment I am still very new to this topic and want to avoid bricking the device by forgetting a thing when switching from "MS2Ginger 1.1" to some CM7 ROM...
When reading the installation steps of the nightly build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778)...
*START copy&paste*
[How to Install]:
1. Download all in one update.zip
2. Make sure you have CWM3.x/4.x working. Or download from here.
3. select all in one.zip then apply update.
4. double wipe(if you are coming from previous CM7 version,just wipe cache/dalvik)
5. For CWM4.x, reboot and done.
For CWM3.x, download fixed-sbf and flash it. Then done.
*END copy&paste*
...it's not plain to me if I needed to switch back to the official Froyo or if "updating" with the all in one.zip and wiping the data would be sufficient to get rid of the previous "MS2Ginger". :-/
Any recommendations?
CU,
Mészi.

Do you try with "RSD Lite" software to put the stock Rom ?
and then you do the update to the custom rom ... no brick with this method i think ! but i'm not expert sorry !

That's the question.
If it's not necessary I'd directly load the CM7 ROM using CWM.
But, anyway: As long as I can access the boot loader (PowerOn + Cam + VolDown) I could still revert to the official Froyo if updating to CM7 directly would not work.
I think I just give it a try...
CU,
Mészi.

exactly ... i was afraid last friday while updating my stock rom for MIUI ... my battery goes out !
all day i was thinking that my lovely Milestone was bricked ... but with "rsd lite" i re-install my original froyo ... and then i could re-root it and put the miui version !
last version is perfect ! just the problem of keyboard layout but there is a script who put it back to azerty ...
have a good luck for your update !
++

So you would recommend downgrading to the official Froyo at first? *somewhat confused* :-/
Sent from my MB953 using XDA App

... i don't really know ... just said that for me that was the only way to rescue my bootlooping m2 !
normaly you can update from any rom, just don't forget to clear cache, "dalvik cache" too (don't remeber the name) ...
the best is to do a factory reset before rebooting too ... but it's not always necessary ... from miui 1.09.23 to miui 1.10.8 i don't have to do it ...
they don't talk about it in the related post of your rom ?

Ok, thx. I am gonna just try it wiping the cache and overwriting the ROM. ROM switching is not relly described in the MS2Ginger HowTos. *g*
Will post my results here...

Problems with CM/ Nightly
Hi there,
I am half-way about to throw it away again.
I installed EndlessCM7_20111001_Nightly_BPSW_v1_0.zip and then EndlessCM7_update_from_111001_to_111004_v1_5.zip and it appeared to work fine.
But I had to recognize an instable Market app, WiFi cannot connect to my access point and the camera app crashes reliably after starting it.
I will post this in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778 too hoping that these are known issues with known solutions on it.
If anyone of you knows I'd be glad if you threw some suggestions at me.

For me, MIUI is workind perfectlly, without any problems.
And, my battery life increased alot with the latest build of it
