Hi,
I upgraded my Droid X using the OTA GB update pushed by Motorola/Verizon. After a couple days, it was more trouble than it was worth and I went back to Froyo. My biggest problem was the earpiece speaker, the volume was noticeably lower, but there were other problems too. Calls wouldn't connect, bluetooth issues, etc.
Will custom ROMs give me GB and solve these problems, or, are these issues that need to be fixed by Motorola? I'm thinking about going with the Liberty .7 GB rom. Thanks.
No, they won't. I tried Liberty and Apex for GB, same problems. Flash back to Froyo.
rocko not what I wanted to hear but thanks. I don't think I made two days on GB before going back to Froyo.
I've had no problems with apex. Try it
I haven't had any of those issues on stock 596, liberty or apex. The call volume I did experience with the original leaked version of gb, rebooting my phone solved that. I recommend trying a factory reset before you go back to Froyo.

After the GB update was downloaded, I did a factory reset before I setup the phone. I'm already back on Froyo. It looks like I need the D2 bootloader for a customer GB rom so I can't just install/uninstall with CWM so I'll have to wait until I get some time.

i currently have the DK17 froyo rom by someone developer and i havent come on xda for a while. Now I see that DK28 is out. Should I even bother updating? What are the differences?
Its newer and more stable was released november 28 hence dk(code for november) and 28(day of release) also dk28 was leaked by sprint. So I suggest switching over ur gonna need to flash the modem through odin tho. Research.

I don't think the question is should you update, but if it is worth the hassle. Official seems any day now..... Im on dk17 and waiting. I know if I do it now the official rom will be out the next day.

So do it so we get stable froyo =P
DK28 is a tad snappier and more stable compared to DK17. Its still buggy though. GPS is hit and and miss (dead for some people), and screen rotation is still laggy.
I recommend:
1. Backing up your apps with Titanium.
2. Odin back to stock DI18.
3. Get a GPS Lock.
3. Install DK28 Update.zip
4. One Click Root
5. Restore apps
6. Flash a custom ROM (I recommend Nebula, Bonsai, or Viper)
If you do this you should have at least a somewhat functional GPS.
This setup is stable enough for me to use on a daily basis without major issues.
I flashed liberty 1.5 on my gfs droid x. Now her camera doesn't work and the music player says it doesn't support the format for music she purchased from amazon mp3. Suggestions? Thoughts? I tried a full wipe to no avail
SOLUTION
I did a full wipe and flashed an update.zip (by materstock?/team black hat) that contained the latest ota updated radio, kernel, bootloader, etc...I was concerned that the kernel version appeared to be the same as before...hadn't bricked it yet (and would buy her the thunderbolt if I did) so pushed forward...
Reactivated phone with verizon and then tested camera and mp3. Works
"Honey, I flashed the stock moto software back to your phone - everything works now. Do you want to keep this or try liberty"
"Does this have blur on it?"
"Yeah..."
"I don't want blur"
I trained her well in the ways of droid, huh?
Long story short I reflashed liberty restored backed up apps and everything works. 1400 on quadrant..its not the 2800 I get on my g2 with cm7 but a good bit better than stock droid x (and undervolted too).

Was she on the 2.3.15 OTA update or 2.3.34 OTA. If her phone wasnt on the latest update then it may have some missing library files.

ive had one serious issue since installing liberty- it constantly will randomly reboot. ive had to switch to fission as fission is the only one that runs nicely for me with minimal blur but has the blur camera.
I installed 1.5 on day one. I'm also getting random reboots. Its only happened twice. Other than that best rom available! I'm already excited about next update!

HDMI Out
I love everything about this except I can't push the video out through the HDMI. Is there a work around or should it be working and I need to reflash?
To my knowledge none of the AOSP roms do HDMI out. I do believe at one point there was an app in the market that reportedly would send video out via HDMI, but I never used it.
i wish this would of worked for me. I tried everything to get 1.5 to work on my phone but have had nothing but random reboots. liberty 1.0 worked like a champ.
I tried the following loading my .340 rooted back up and loading liberty 1.5 , loading maderstock340 and loading liberty1.5 of course with doing a factory reset before loading liberty each time. My next try will be loading maderstock340, rooting, loading rom manager, and making sure i don't allow Google to load my backed up apps thats the only thing i can think of that might be causing an issue and has been done each time liberty 1.5 was loaded. If this don't work i will be forced to roll back to stock or look for another rom.
Any insight on what im trying would be greatly appreciated.
well it seems google automatically restores your apps when you do a factory reset.... Can any confirm that this might be the root of my issues?
Not everything blur is bad. There are a few blur apps that are just better than what is out there now or work better with the X IMO. Camera being one of them. That is what is so great about the Liberty Toolbox, makes it easy to add back the blur apps.
Helpp with Liberty
I recently just got Liberty. Only problem im having is with my contacts. Most of them got deleted except for the ones that were backed up to google, which was the ones i added while i owned my X. I gave up on restoring them but the rom wont even let me edit my contact pages...
Anyone know if how to fix this. Any help is appreciated!

You should have done a Vcard or .vcf back up to your sd card that way after you flash the new rom you can restore from the sdcard
So I rooted my phone awhile ago. And that is all I have done to it. When the gingerbread update came out it wouldn't work so it's still froyo. It's feeling pretty slow these days so I want to flash a nice stable gingerbread ROM.
I have not been keeping up with the development so what is a stable gingerbread build that you use?
I'm currently using EncounterICS (CM9) for Ice Cream Sandwich. It's remarkably fast.
I'm pretty sure it's a GB kernel, but I'm not certain. Either way, I'd still use it.
Since this is my first post, the obnoxious fact is that I can't put links in posts. So here's the raw hyperlink. Can be downloaded here: rootzwiki.com/topic/13425-romcm9-encounterics-x-beta-3-bug-reports-only/
I'm assuming you already know how to flash ROMs, but if you don't, send me a PM, and I'm more than happy to help out!
MIUI is a great Gingerbread rom. I also recommend trying VORTEXROM.
You could also try EncounterICS, it's an Ice Cream Sandwich rom that uses the gingerbread kernel. It is very stable and worth trying.
But be aware, any Gingerbread rom has to be flashed from either the .602 or .605 Gingerbread OTA builds.

I would recommend vortex, it is a great daily driver. Good ability to customize it and very nice battery life.
Tapped on my Bionic running KIN3TX.
well i guess i need to flash to official GB first. i get the message to update every 12 hours but it never works.

You will more than likely have to unroot, and you will definitely have to unfreeze any bloat that you may have frozen.
Then the update will take.

Both Vortex and MIUI are great. Vortex has great battery life and is super stable. MIUI has a lot of customized menus that look great. Im a huge fan of the browser on MUIU.

yes.. Encounter ics is made for the 602/605 ginger kernel
We have nothing to fear but running out of beer
so i sbf'ed back to stock. the OTA update took and now i am running rooted GB. so now i can make my decision.
There are quite a few options. All of the previously mentioned ROMs are good. I'd like to add CM7-GB to the list as well
huh im very confused..
if you are confused by my last post. i mean because the phone wouldn't update to GB. even after i unrooted the phone. and all the stock apps where on there. so i took it back to completely stock. then i let the OTA update do its thing. then i rooted. no i am flashing vortex first. i want battery life above all else
alright i flashed Vortex to the phone. loving it so far. one thing i miss though is the stock messaging app that brought you to all the messages from my email accounts and text messages. anyone know how to get this back on the phone. the problem is the new sms app is called messaging. where as the old sms app was called text messaging. so if i put the app in /system/app and reboot it doesnt show up.
+1 for liberty roms

Okay folks, if somebody could bring my issue to the attention of anybody who knows what to do about it I would appreciate it.
My issue is twofold:
1)I'm still getting random reboots with RandomROM Thunderhawk 3.3 despite the posting on the thread that says (NO MORE REBOOTS) Is there anything that can be done about this?
2)I checked my baseband version and the modem is still EC05, is there a way to flash or ODIN an EI22 modem for this ROM without getting a black screen when the icons should come up? Could this also be what's causing the reboots?
Thanks for anybody's help that is willing to give it.
Are you using a custom theme? And you have to flash the stickied modem delta. If you are using a theme, I would blame that.
Sent from my ICS NookColor using Tapatalk
I was using thunderhawk too and I had some reboots but onlyyyyy on the lockmod version. When I flashed the regular one I had no problems at all
And for basband I would probably try this
Nandroid backup
Flash "ec05 to ei22" its somewhere in the development section I believe
Reboot
If that doesn't work then a fresh new start is what I would Recommend
Odin back to stock
Root
Install cwm
Flash "eco5 to ei22" modem
Flash thunderhawk 3.3 (without lockmod if you could live without it)
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I got the EI22 modem here and flashed it in CWM and it worked well. Only problem I had with thunderhawk is the lockscreen mod, and I'm having data issues on wifi after the phone's been on a while.
I was ec05 but when I flashed the Thunderhawk and it changed to ei22. never had a problem. Got a wild hair up my butt to flash the shadow kernal 1.0.6. Never been happier. no reboots, wifi works perfect, and very responsive. running a live wall paper and still get awesome battery life. give it a try
I saw several posts from folks having some wifi-4g interaction problems...switching back and forth causing one or the other to fail...is that a common problem to all 3.3 users, or are most people not seeing it? I want to give this a try, but I use 4g (at work) and wifi (home) everyday, so I'd like to see how common that issue is. I'm currently on Mostly-stock with Nubernel's latest released kernel...

So...bummer. I guess I answered my own question...I installed Thunderhead 3.4.3 and sure enough... I have wifi and 4g problems. Seems like going back and forth between the two causes issues...had it fail going both ways today. On a positive...man, that ROM seems pretty nice and his new install process rocks...was seamless going from Mostly Stock...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
You could always try a clean install with doing a factory data reset in CWM and wiping Dalvik, flash ROM, check to see if stuff works, then do an advanced data restore from your last nandroid. If you stll have problems then the best bet is to set everything up fresh after the clean install.

The deal with the wifi/4g issue is that 4g will show 0.0.0.0 for ip, baseband, and dns if used after wifi in most cases. This is on official releases of 3.3 and newer. If you turn off wifi, reboot, then turn on 4g it should work. This is oviously annoying. Random provided me with alpha builds of 3.4 and 4.0, and the issue was squashed for me. However, the issue still persists in 3.4.3 official release according to some reports. I have limited access to 4g and can only test on certain days.
Thunderhawk is in a transitional period right now, and 3.4.5 should be released today. Random is hopeful this might solve some issues, including the dialer issues some are reporting with the 3.4 official builds. After that his focus will be on 4.0, which is EL30 based. Consider anything from 3.4 on a beta, and only run it if you want to help find bugs. Obviously you don't mind reporting or I wouldn't be replying lol. Just follow the threads and wait untill it looks stable enough for your usage needs.

Thanks! I certainly wasn't busting on Random's work...and I know he has limited access to 4g for testing, so that makes it harder for him to verify these things. So
I absolutely saw what you describe going from wifi to 4g. Going from
4g to wifi, I had wifi that wouldn't turn on at all (error when trying to enable), and, like you and others have mentioned, a reboot resolved both cases. I will hang out and see if he pushes out a fix soon, and just eagerly await 4.0. If it gets too annoying, I'll restore to my
Mostly Stock... Hmmm... Is there an issue restoring an rfs backup if I am now on ext4? Heh...

bell galaxy s vibrant. i did the #*#*2663*#*# in the dialer and then updated the touchkey firmware and now both touchkeys dont work. tried flashing back to stock ugkg3 with odin. didnt fix. now the phone has ics milestone 5 on it and they still dont work. luckily the nav bar can be used and customized. how can i reenable the buttons?
Try flashing an older from in Odin. Something 2.2 from bell.

but if flashing back to stock 2.3.3 in odin didnt work why would that? i guess ill try
If not I'd say the buttons are just dead.

lol why was i able to simply click something that killed my buttons. kinda crappy
Currently I am in your boat as well with those buttons dead, but even though I am on 2.2, my kernel is different (I got other problems, phone won't work with stock kernel), I still can't fix my problem. So, yours might get fixed cause you're on stock on everything, try using 2.2 or lower. It should fix, unlike me.
im not on stock, im on 4.0.4 ice cream sandwhich, aokp milestone 5 rom
you should do the same so u can enable the nav buttons and forget the physical ones. u can have home menu back and multitask on the nav bar, plus the phone runs soooooooooooooooooooooo much smoother, its like i traded an old vibrant for a galaxy nexus
I have this problem before probably a year ago and I fixed it, I think, by first flash the stock 2.2 rom, then after the flash go to that menu again (which caused this trouble) and hit update again.. If it works then flash the 2.3 or better.. This is from my memory from a year or so ago
It is fixable and I got the fix method from this forum.. Forgot exactly which thread since it has been long time.
Good luck!

Buddy that's what I wrote in my post, but showed the only difference I have is that I have to use custom (speedmod kernel) kernel to boot up otherwise my phone won't start. So, when I get back to everything stock, I will for sure try that number thing again on 2.2 to fix it. Thanks.
i will try too and report
Dit it?
