GB Impressions

Ok, aside from the bootloop issue upon install, I have to say so far, not bad. The blur aspect is definitely better, however I dont care for it any more now than I did before. The color scheme is quite visually appealing. Very much like lucid steel theme for fission. I would prefer the scheme from the fission gb theme but this is absolutely an improvement over the stock froyo appearance.
Overall system speed seems to be somewhat improved, and there is a big issue w/ launcher pro which sucks. with launcher pro there is some heavy lag in transitions and the general feel of the phone is kind of clunky and choppy. Without launcherpro, phone tends to run quite smooth. no status bar controls kinda sucks, and the reduced screen density w/o launcher pro is also kind of a downer, but overall im not going to complain. Its definitely progress.
One big downside I noticed after 2 days is battery life is very hit or miss. On fission 2.6.1, i was making it easily 1.5-2 days on a single charge. Yesterday I made it home with 40% left, today I was at 10% when i left work. I can attribute this heavily to Blur, but this is definatley somethign that a new fission or UD build should fix

I have to say that since the devs seemed to have abandoned the Fission project, I haven't looked back since upgrading to GB Blur. it's snappy and attractive and while it still has alot of the blur bloat i hate, root + ti backup makes things a little more manageable.
so far, i've managed to remove teh global unplug, task manager, the blur text messenger, backup asssistant and city id. my battery life is probably slightly better than it was on fission, depending on what i'm doing (games seem to destroy it).
we still have to recognize that this IS a leaked version and there are still some misses with the build. data services randomly failing, inability to make calls/send texts and the weird keyboard backlight issue. other than that, i've been pretty pleased.

I just upgraded yesterday and I am very happy with it

Seems he indicated he was looking at it, but made no promises of an updated ROM on teamdefuse's website, twitter, or this forum...
Did you see something else where he said he was specifically working on GB Fission?

I think GB for the D2 makes some major improvements, but I can't give up liberty for it. Just have to wait and see if Liberty GB comes out.

yeah i thought that topic came up when the sdk was made available, but nothing ever really came to light. i feel like after p3droid's recent tweets/posts, etc., the landscape has been drying up.

I got the impression from what p3 said that the devs were under some fire as google seems to be having second thoughts about open source, as well as unpaid tethering raising some eyebrows with teh carriers, which is understandable.
Hopefully once things get ironed out we'll see some ovens refire and some cool stuff gettin rolled out.
I'm still kind of split and definitely agree that gaming on gb is a battery killer in a huge way. Overall battery life is good, however i've had a few days where it just sucked down. Ive been off charge since 6am, 12 hours later with minimal-moderate useage i'm at 70%, however there have been days where I have used the phone way less and been getting charge warnings by 2pm.
Hopefully the official release will solve the rest of these issues.

All I can say is that I hope some custom ROMs are available for Droid 2 Gingerbread soon, because what I have now is buggy to the point of being frustrating. Besides being a memory hog, I sometimes lose my data connection for no apparent reason and my keyboard backlight doesn't always work. Also, even when I do have a data connection, my phone has problems loading web pages much of the time.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the screen sometimes randomly shuts off without warning.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App

if you have an issue with the screen randomly shutting off try unchecked the in pocket detection setting. I found this was way to sensitive and would consistently shut my screen off in dimly lit areas.

yeah, battery life has become sketchy, like one day i'll make it through the day with 60% left with moderate useage, similar useage next day i'll be charging by noon. USB reboots have reared their ugly head in the last 48 hours to the point where im charging off of the wall outlet and seriously considering sbfing back to fission 2.6.1

To this point I haven't had any major problems whatsoever ...
Only thing is browser sometimes crashes ...batt life is amazing!
9hr shift on work barely drops to 70% with wifi always turned on moderate txt n web

SIgh WTF getting whitescreen ....cant get back to CWMR, tried every thing....wtf ..... is this bootlooping? NO MATTER WHAT I do can not get back into recovery.
I have a trick to acces any files but most of them seem corrupted? Im only guesing as there is now a "?" by the file icon.
I tried loading bootsrap recovery
phone appeared bricked. rebooted and again cannot get into recovery.
I laready had 2.3 rom ...did I miss something? IM usually pretty good on this stuff. Modded my hd2 and rooted my g2x no issues....what dee hell is dis sheot
(mods move if I am posting in wrong section)
SOB me having bad day...lol...just realised this is the dev thread not general...I suck .....POINTS!!!!!
EDIT:
AH HA!!!! I was able to get to CWMR by an interesting method! I had previusly DL mini task manager(took it off the market for some reason) and thats THE ONLY ap that was working!
so anyways in the info bar at top it was showing mini task coming up .... Somehow it was acting as a backup! (has any one else experienced this?) so I long tapped on bootstrap rec icon and voila! it asked if I wanted to go into bootstrap and of course I did and .....yes!!! thank you cwm i got to the recovery green screen!!
FIrst I tried Tpro recovery....would not work....tried loading bootstrapzip....nothing...so....I figure since all my shizzle is backed up through my google act I did a factory reset, wipe data, and redid the new GB hack.
VOILA! it loaded ! no bootloop! just had to re-register phone and accounts!
so I leave you with this narcissistic picture of myself....

Hey everyone,
I've been running GB and ZS for about a week now. The one thing that I noticed was that there isn't anywhere where you can turn off mobile data? Maybe I'm blind, but it's not in wireless and networks? Any ideas? If not, oh well. I still think I found something in GB that's keeping me from going back to 2.2. It's just as stable as 2.2 only faster! Anyways, cheers all!

RandomROM 2.3 v2 "Hawk"

Greetings All,
I've been running the title line ROM for several days now and am impressed with it in general. This sucker uses next to nothing in terms of juice when the screen is off and when my Epic is "sleeping". I've been getting an average of 38 hours with my useage; by comparison, on stock I would be lucky to see 22 hours. On SRF ROMs for example, I would average 28 hours (which I was pleased with)...but got bit by the damn flashing bug and, as much as I say "hmmm, I'll stick with this one", well
It's pretty important for me to get a minimum of 24hrs of battery time on my phone due to my schedule, convenience (or lack of) with charging opportunities away from home. SRF ROMs have been really good for that; Hawk has garnered 10 more hours, most excellent.
The flash went great, no issues, I haven't experienced any FC's, the apparent memory leakage has been minimal, and most everything I need to work does. My data speeds (using EG22) are the same crappy speeds, tried EF, EG and EH modems that were either worse in some area or battery drainers. The ROM itself is snappy, good looking, and did I mention the battery life is great?
I only have one issue: A couple of apps I use to have are no longer "available" on the provided version of the market ("Black Market"). One of them is a paid app that I used every day, is pretty important for my job and is kind of a deal breaker (custom shift calendar/time tracking/scheduling app). I'm sure it has something to do with either the market version or perhaps even GB and not the fault of the ROM...so no slams whatsoever directed to it or to RandomKing.
Is it possible to flash a different Android Market version? I would imagine it depends on what phone signature it sees as to availability of apps(?).
Also, just as an aesthetic thing, I very much liked the on-screen keyboard that was provided with shane's Dark Horse theme...would it be possible to pull that apk, pop it into my system folder and run it on this ROM?
Anyways, great ROM RK (if you read this), thank you very much for your efforts. If I can get my app issue resolved, this will be my daily driver for quite some time.
Aww who am I kiddin'...it'll be my daily until that damn flashing itch overcomes my will

I am newish to the whole 'flashing' thing, but this is my third ROM and so far I am loving it much more than the others. Thanks RK!!
battery life seems great..
runs very smoothly
like the font
like that the kernel comes with the ROM
fast
haven't had any re-boot issues (that i know of)

do NOT quote me on this, but i had a similar problem back when i owned an OG droid. My market sucked balls and started to FC a lot, and sometimes when i would flash a new ROM it wouldn't see some apps. What i did was downloaded the default GAPPS zip and extract the APK and install it. easy, and it fixed this. also, with the keyboard thing, i'm not sure. i'd imagine you'd have to find a zip to flash it. but the keyboard is through an APK as well...so go to the system/app folder and extract it see if that works? again, don't quote me on this stuff, i'm probably totally wrong.

Have to agree. Fantastic rom everything works to perfection. Although my battery
life is not near what everybody claims.

Yes the font the snappiness of the phone even though the benchmarks don't equal
the performance.

yea. people claim to have like over 9000 hours of battery life. the only way i achieve this is by turning off 3g whenever i don't use it which is like, 60% of my day. he achieves the battery saving by disabling a lot of stuff that's kinda important to most. like email notifications and stuff...but meh, it works. Random Hawk is a beast. can't wait for his actual release once source gets leaked since this is Alpha.

Nice Rom
Been on this one for a few days. It's a good one.

Im at 15h 26m 55s and @ 53% battery life right now.
I started with fresh battery stats by booting to CWM and resetting the stats right after it was fully charged..
Wifi and email notifications are ALWAYS on. I spent about a half hour on the phone so far, turned alarm on, downloaded about 10 apps, played ~30 minutes of angry birds last night and checked my mail about every 20 minutes (when I was awake of course) Also spent some time texting.
Also OC'd to 1.2 Ghz

This is A LOT better battery life than I usually get.
The reason I am not connected to Wifi is because I just got to work and haven't logged into the network yet!

I have wifi, 3G, and 1 hour email notifications at all times. I only disable google sync. But that's only because I use stock mail rather than the gmail app and don't synchronize my calendar.

Went a 'round about way to get my missing apps installed (MyBackupRoot is a beautiful thing), now all is good. Keyboard was a bust...once I got the apk installed, it just FC'ed. No biggie. Went to the Market and got a GB keyboard (unthemed) and now it's somewhat to my liking (I don't care much for the Swype keyboard). Thanks for your input.

Stock email is good, but ya I've turned off google sync too and I get better battery life. Wifi's policy is great, and 3g is ok. Sometimes 3g uses more battery than wifi. Its odd but yea. Oh and I kinda hate to bring it up here, but since you're here Mr. RandomKing, the rom keeps resetting on me at times. I'll send a txt to someone sometimes and I get that triple vibrating thing, then my phone resets. Not fully but softly. It happens at random too, not just with txts.

Gripes... ICS more like iOS?

Ok so I just switched from CM7 on wonderful Gingerbread, to this ICS gabbage since CM7 isn't supported anymore by atinm I figure I would switch....
Well what the freak... i'm just gonna make a small list and correct me if i'm wrong on any of this...
First off, why is it anytime I download anything from the market I automatically get a shortcut on my home screen. I'm sorry I have an app drawer, if I was dumb enough to want my screen to always look cluttered I would have bought an IPhone to begin with.
Second, whats with the widgets now... They are joking right? What was wrong with holding down the home screen... It was more simple... Now I go into my apps and see there is a danged column for widgets. Stupid or what?
Third is messaging... At least in gingerbread I could change the background between black and white. Now it's blistering killer white.. Who said everyone likes white!?!?! Must be an apple thing.
Fourth.. I cannot, cannot cannot seem to get rid of the Google Search bar at the top of my main page. WTF I don't want want you there, go away!!!
To me it seems like ICS is trying to be something like Apple... Why I don't know, and I don't like it... but at least the GPS locks in a second or two everytime...

sir, i will say this once. and once only.
use the search button.
1st off, there's a option in the market to stop the shortcuts from happening.
second, just because YOU don't like it doesn't mean others don't either. I LOVE it. and i'm sure theres more that like it than there is that don't.
thirdly, You're on android go find yourself another messaging app if you don't like the default.
fourth, Not sure if it still works but settings>apps>google search> disable should do it.

1. There's an option in the android market for the new apps installed not to go to your home screen.
2. The only way to solve this is to use a 3rd party launcher.
3. I really don't know what to tell you here... Try another messaging app?
4. In the preferences, there's an option so the Google search will not be on your home screen.

Well jwleonhart,
It's more of your poor piss attitude, calling ICS garbage and other stuff like that.
But seriously, if you searched any ICS topic, you would have found that messaging app, you would have found out how to disable the google search bar, and you would have found out about another ICS launcher named Nova that has the hold for widgets feature.
Ever heard the phrase if you don't have something nice to say, say nothing at all... Keep it to yourself bro.

Also, in a thread about how great our SuperAmoled screen is you call it sucky compared to other phones. Does not sound like that is particularly nice.
Seriously, xrider66 is much more right in his rant than you are.

This thread is the best.
I dont like a lot of things about ICS either, but what the hell does anyone give a damn about my opinion. A lot of people fail to realize that what THEY think, is not what EVERYONE thinks.

So to snowball off of this point of yours, who said everyone likes inverted?? ignorant.
OS features/framework are calculated, and at least attempted to be based on majority appeal. why the hell would they release something that nobody likes? the reality is, they cant make everybody happy, all they can do is try to make as many people happy as possible.
Google didn't become a powerhouse by accident.
your OP sucks, it can pretty much be simplified down to "wahh wahhwahh wahhhh...fix everything for me and tailor everything to my liking!". YOUR type of attitude is the type that has trashed the Vibrant forum, and is precisely why devs HATE us. Youre the type who jumps into a ROM thread and says something like "can you please make the notification text yellow, it would go better with my theme. also, my phone is laggy, can you please fix this?"
if you dont like something, dont use it. i flashed ICS this morning, gave it a fair shot, its not up to my personal standards so i reverted. wow, that was hard.

You sir are an ^ss.
Instead of asking for a solution to the things you prefer different, you call ICS garbage and ***** and moan and rant.
All four things you listed have ways to make ICS the way you *****ed about wanting but you could not take the time to look.
If you can't be polite in your OP do not expect anyone to be polite to you.
May a thousand camel fleas descend upon you.

haha.. no one should have helped him in the first place because of his whining but calling him out is acceptable.

All your inquiries have been answered there OP with the acception of the mms apk, unless I missed that response.. And if you go dig around the nexus s forums, you will find an inverted mms apk for ICS that works beautifully.
Also, if you bothered to read the ICS threads, its mentioned more than once.

For a few things I did search for the shortcut to the market and didn't find anything until the answer here.
Second, i'm simply asking a question and seeing how other people feel on that subject also. I've seen Nova and I just am at a loss personally and from what a few others have said, why the widgets would be squashed in with the apps, this isn't really a tablet..
I was A) looking for answers to my questions, and B)looking to see how others felt.
I didn't come on here to go "Whaa whaa" either, i'm simply stating things I see..
Who said everyone wants a black MMS? Nobody said that... but who said everyone wants white!?!? At least with Gingerbread there was the OPTION to change it, why not KEEP that option instead of DO AWAY WITH IT? I do kinda have a point there right? They deleted a feature instead of adding one in that sense.
If this whole thread is gonna turn into an arguement it may be better that this thread just be closed... Children run around on this forum all too much. Everyone has to open their mouths and turn a topix into an arguement.
And I said our AMOLED screen is outdated and old compared to newer phones. It is, it's old... face a fact.

In post 3 of the Decks Reloaded thread, there is a Deck'd Blues Mod undo zip.
What exactly is this "un-doing"?
Do people has issues when going from that theme to another?
Does something in that theme "stick"? and cause issues for another theme?
I tried the Deck'd Blues Mod theme and went back to another with no issues.
Edit:my post was not originally post 4

Tried today to click on links from the www google market and it said it will download to my phone.
But the phone doesnt download it like it does if I am running a sense rom.
Ropo said he just tried it out on his and it worked fine.
Just wondering if anyone knows of any fix's for this?
Not a big deal, but something I just had happen and wanted to see if anyone else out there has this issue?
TIA,

Weird this is how I always updated the apps for Aroma, from PC to phone. Never had a glitch, unroll I got the Lte, now I have to sign it out for things to dl to the OG. Do you have multiple devices on the same Google account?

You need a new battery. I can do all of that, AND mirror a slideshow of my dogs to the bigscreen, and I get an hour fifteen...

I swear, I swear, I don't recall seeing this,-- long press power button, a list of options come up including "screenshot".
Have I missed that "screenshot" option since running this rom? Or just a fluke when I applied Deck'd Blues mod then went back to Epic Blue???
I've been using the included "ShootMe" app to take screenshots.

Nexus 4 major problems.

Hello.
How many of you have serious problems with n4? I mean random reboots/shutdowns or freezes etc. I heard about this kind of troubles but I want to know if it occurs to many people or is this single cases.
Greetings.

no problems here. im very happy with my nexus 4

Anything you've read about reboots etc is just false conjecture. History has shown through various outlets like XDA, Google+ etc that the Nexus 4 is rock solid and stable. So much so the Nexus 5, whatever it may be has to be SIGNIFICANTLY better in design and features before I even consider upgrading. Which I doubt I will because the N4 is just perfect for me.

overheating.. and what is your cpu temp? or are you just saying overheating because it "feels" hot to you? overheating can be real, but its mostly imagined by the user.

thats normal. considering that its summer there where you are, and the air temperature is warm, thats very normal. the phone temperature while being used will average lower when its cooler there. the phones safety shutdown is at 100C cpu temp, so you are still quite a bit in the safe range.

No problems or over heating after about 10 months of heavy usage!

I can't understand why some people have so many problems with the Nexus 4, mine does no random reboot/lock now (last time I rebooted to install 4.3)...
I had a problem with over-night lockups (i was not the only one), so I disabled a lot of apps/widgets, and got many days without lockups. So I started turning everything back again, one by one. I had a suspect always in my mind: dashclock, I never turned it up again (it has so many plugins, including some made by me with Tasker). I can't tell for sure dashclock was the culprit it's an excellent app, and I ended giving up other apps too (I really didn't used them frequently ).
But I learned that apps can create random reboots... (the system should still handle this, but appears it does not).
So, I don't think anything is wrong with the hardware, since software can take a system down to.
The Nexus 4 is a great phone.
My only dislike is: now on 4.3, I have to use "hangouts" (no status?!) instead of talk (i may root to get talk back).
PS: I've disabled Hangouts, it is of no use to me.

as you said, most of the "issues" are user set up. the heat issue is blown out of proportion by too many, when the issue is a non issue. they "feel" the heat more because of the glass back.
anyways, the great thing about root.. im using talk on 4.3

well flash a custom Kernel which will undervolt the phone and then use an app to underclock the GPU not the CPU. I get 30-35 max, 5-6 hours of battery (4.2.2 ) I tried the 4.3 and did not like how it works.

Loud pops and crackles on the first 4-5 seconds of video taken with the camera.
Poor 3G signal/reception performance from update to update. 4.1 bad, 4.2 good, 4.3 bad again.

conjecture?
Since the 4.3 upgrade my Nexus 4 is essentially a paper weight. First it just refused to go beyond the X screen. After a downgrade of the radio back to 4.2.2 version, I could start up. After that, the problems weren't over. My N4 locks the SIM at random, shuts down a couple of times every hour and refuses to restart without being plugged in. Even when fully charged.
Worse: reflashing an older factory img (I tried 4.2 and 4.2.2) does not resolve these issues. Nor does flashing AOKP. Which is just bizarre, because my N4 worked perfectly before the upgrade. How can an upgrade lead to hardware problems?
I'm not alone.(but I can't post outside links, apparently.) There's a support thread on the google groups forum 6 pages long.

Are you wiping your partitions in fastboot before flashing the images? Sounds like an error somewhere is causing serious issues for you. It probably stemmed from a bad download and has yet to be corrected. I would wipe EVERYTHING and start with a clean slate. Re-download the images and verify the md5.

I've had random re-boots, shut downs and freezes up to and exceeding 10 times a day, during phone calls.... youtube, web browser. you name it. there is no disparity.
it's random. . . it doesn't care when it wants to re-boot. - i've had this problem since the day i received my nexus 4 on January 2nd 2013
It doesn't matter if it's running stock android. rooted or not rooted locked or unlocked.... freshly installed, new rom, different build or new offical stock build.. ~ maybe some builds it has been a little bit more stable.... but there was a short period where i just left the phone as is...
no updates.... no new software.... nothing..... it was working fine for a couple of weeks then the random reboots started all over again.
so i have no idea... honestly.... i've heard every reason imaginable.... it's this software, it's that widget. . . it ain't true.
the problems persist.... on a fresh install....no widgets running... no software downloaded.....
ive tried cyanogen mod for the last few months.... it's been better.
but it's starting the problems all over again... so today i wiped the entire phone.... in a last ditch effort to get it stable....
i'm stuck now without an OS and i can't get fastboot recognized in the command prompt..... i don't know what to do now... ive been reading threads for hours without success.... installing driver, sdk.... you name it....
it ain't bricked..... but i sure can't get android back on there without an OTG cable and that doesn't work on nexus 4. well.... mine anyway.
i just want stock android 4.3 or 4.2 ... "ANYTHING" running... with minimal apps and something stable.... that's all i care about. i can't afford another phone at this time.... so i'm completely stumped.
so . . . there are others like you... that ARE having major hiccups with their NEXUS 4's......
my friends at collage all have the same phone without ANY problems at all..... BUT there are some of us....
who have just had bad luck all the way....

Did you try to RMA?
