[Q] getting netflix to work on 2.3 (4.5.588) - General Questions and Answers

has anyone gotten to the netflix app to work on just 4.5.588? and if not is there a simpler way of loading up .595 without having to use bootstrap and all that other crap.
I was able to get 2.3 4.5.588 with just a simple update.zip file. Is there one for .595??? I would really like to get netflix on my phone since im always out on the road.
I've never used bootstrap or been rooted before. So i want to avoid going thru all of that process.

I wish! Im running GingerSense Remix on my Inc and it's a no go. It was working on SR4.0 but I wanted sense 2.0/3.0 Hopefully soon though, these devs are geniuses, i'm sure something will come along.

[Q] Custom ROM for a netbook?

Hey all,
Today I bought an Acer Aspire One D255E netbook which has dual boot Android.
The thing is though that I'm pretty sure its running 1.5 or 1.6 from the looks of the UI (I don't quite know seeing as my HTC phone has HTC Sense) and there is also no Android Market. Is it possible to install a custom ROM based on Honeycomb?
If so would you please be able to give me a step by step walkthrough as I am completely new to rooting/ custom ROMs etc
Thanks
I'm not 100% but I can't imagine it being 1.5 or 1.6, its probably just vanilla android (no proprietary ui). You don't get to see android all by itself very often. As for a custom rom,i don't see why not. You would just need to find a developer with interest in it. Most net books aren't far above this generation of phones, and also would think the file system would be similar if not identical.
I might even go as far as to say start poking around the file system if you can, being a computer it may have root access already (sort of like a dev phone). Hey if you're feeling brave you could try one of the one click root apps like z4 root, see if it works.
i'd also like to say that I'm not telling you to do this, there are risks involved in doing anything unknown and try this only if you are prepared for those possibilities. Do it at your own risk, I'm not responsible if you mess something up while experimenting.
Just some thoughts ;-)

ROMing It

Just some basic questions for you frequent ROMers. Note up front, I'm currently running a rooted Inspire with Sensed LeeDroid. I've also tried No-Sense LeeDroid and CM7.
First, if you're running Sensed Gingerbread, what are you running and why? This is the thing I want the most right now, but I'm so tempted to just wait until an official Gingerbread build comes out for the Inspire and someone makes a ROM off that. Frankly, I'm mostly just interested in the nifty UI enhancements at the moment (Overscroll glow, CRT screen-off, etc.). I know that's rather superficial of me, but there's not really anything else about Gingerbread that I know of at the moment. If there were ways to get these things in Froyo, I'd likely just do that for now.
All that said, please try to convert me, I'm interested. I do really prefer sense for now though, having tried out a couple ROMs without it.
Also, what is your usual process for getting your phone back the way you like it after a new ROM is installed? Some of you flash ROMs very regularly, and for me it is SUCH a pain in the butt restoring everything. The app restoring is tedious, as it requires you to click buttons for each app. And I do find remaking my home screen setups tedious as well. Do you guys just suck it up and do it?
for app restore, buy Titanium backup. BATCH restore rocks. I do have to redo my screens but to me that's not a big deal because I don't keep much on them.
I'm running CM7 right now.
I did do a batch restore the last time I did a ROM and it was a pain in the butt. It sent me to the Android app install screen for every app and asked me to confirm installation. It was like pulling teeth...

If you buy the premium key for titanium backup it does all that for you

[Q] Get me off of 2.3.3!

EVO Shift
I had CM7 running and my speaker phone broke. Meaning I needed to take it in, so I ran RUU and put it all back, I noticed that OTA 2.3.3 update and I was like "eh what the hell" and ran it. Thought it was cool and everything, and I fixed the speaker myself (Sprint was closed). Now I see some bugs with it, like the constant HTC Sense reboot or some glitches with messaging, and I miss my CM7.
I.. can not get off of this. I can not RUU and then root for CM7, I can not root 2.3.3! I used this temp root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185243
and tried getting really creative and combining other guides in order to install clockwork so I can get my nandroid backup of CM7 restored, to no avail....
How can I simply just go back to 2.2 (froyo) I am sick of this..... is there a newer RUU or anything that can get me off [email protected]%ing Gingerbread?!
ALL and ANY help is GREATLY appreciated!
Your pretty much stuck until perm root is found.. There's no way to roll back to Froyo, it's been discussed in several different threads.
Shoot, sorry really tired and I probably should have used the search feature. I can deal with it for a bit I suppose.
Off topic but how did you get the back off your phone to replace the speaker? I bought a replacement for mine but can't seem to get the back off without feeling like I'm gonna break it!

[Q] What ROM will make my Charge work like I need!?

I'm just so effin fustrated cause this crap is getting old. ALL I WANT IS A PHONE THAT DOES WHAT IS SAYS! Stock was crap, so I rooted. Now the Roms I've tried are way above what stock was. I'm gratefull to all the Devs that make this all possible. I'm in no way upset with all their hard work. They've worked hard to improve the crappy stock ROMs. Here's a list of my probs...and this is common with ALL ROMS, stock, custom, bloated, debloated, odexed, deodexed, w/ voodoo, w/out voodoo. most of my probs are with the net.
4g freezes...I get constant hiccups when I need the net the most. I just want it to work all the time..jebus!
HotSpot freezes...this is caused by the problem above. Now I pay for hot spot and use the App, and since rooted I use WiFi tether. Still same prob. My PC loads pages fast and DL quickly, then all of a sudden...nothing. I have to cycle Airplane mode. This is just getting old already...just work like it does in the damn commercials!
SiriusXM....I love listening to it. I listen in the car, but when I have a 4G hicupp, music is gone...cycle airplane mode...or restart cause the App gets frozen as well. The app works by DL about 5 mins of airplay at a time...I get stops and freezes when it does that too.
Madden 12 not smooth...why have a game compatable with a phone that doesn't work properly? BS...
Same with Skype...never works like it should.
I just want my phone, apps, and internet to work when I need it. IS that too much to ask? I can never catch a break. Right now I'm on HumbleComb 4.0. So far this is the best ROM I've had. Still have same probs, but they happen fewer than with other ROMS...
I never tired Darkcharge cause it didn't have the toolbox. Now that it does I might try it. Should I? Or should I wait for the new 2.3.5 that P3 has been saying is the best Stock ROM beating out MotoBionic, and HTC Tbolt?
Anyone else have all these issues? Am I too picky? Just wanted to vent my frustration and see if other experience the same.
Check your PM.
sucks to hear you're having these problems but a lot of them are hardware/software related an not fixable as of yet, there is a huge issue with data connectivity on the Charge which seems to be the huge deal and the GB leaks are full of bugs (and not officially supported yet which is why there's problems with apps/games on GB)... the only thing I could suggest is Imnuts Infinity rom, I had maybe 1 little issue the whole time I ran it which I unfortunately can't say about the other roms
blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
The best luck I've had is with the ep1w leak that I manually de-bloated, and zipalign using the ron toolbox. Also installed immuts repacked 2.3.5 voodoo kernal. Runs smooth. I can't remember my last force close or restart since I've been on this set up. Also using launcher pro plus

Thanks for the replys...I will try what has been suggested... still I hope when we finally get an official update(2.3.5)...and the ROMs that follow that..

[Q]CronMod-Dream running slow/App problems

This is my first post on here, so I hope I'm doing this right. In any case, in the past month or two I've went through a MyTouch 4G Slide and an HTC OneS. Both phones broke so I've went back to using my HTC Dream(G1 EBI0). I was using it before I got my OneS and originally had CM6 installed with Amon_Ra's recovery. After my OneS broke I switched back to the Dream and attempted to install [CM7][2.3.7]CronMod-Dream on it. I got confused by the install process apparently because it wasn't the same with Amon_Ra's recovery and my phone got stuck in a bootloop. After several failed attempts to fix it I decided to start over completely and went through the rooting process again, but with ClockWorkMod recovery. I got CronMod working on this, but I'm not 100% sure I did everything right. The mod seems to be running slow for me, with google play and some apps taking over 30 seconds to load and using the phone taking over 40 before the actual call went through. I was also having difficulty installing apps and getting force close's. It just doesn't seem very responsive for me in general. I'm also not sure if I setup the partition right for INT2EXT+.
During the install process I did not install adw launcher, DPSManager,or file explorer, or email. I did install 3dgallery, spare parts, and dev tools. (Probably forgetting a couple apps.) I'm including screenshots below to see if anyone can figure out if I did anything wrong. I'm still pretty new to this, so there's a pretty good chance that I did. I just need to have my phone working properly as it's going to be my daily driver until I get my new phone. I'm open to and will be grateful for any advice on how to get this running faster, thanks!
That's how Gingerbread is on the Dream - overall slow. Try a Froyo ROM e.g. DreamTeam Froyo or LMC Froyo. You'll be amazed how much faster they are.

Isn't CM6 a froyo mod? That seemed pretty slow itself from what I remembered. I'm mainly looking for ways I can improve how CronMod runs. I can't really give any input on the mod thread as I don't have enough posts to yet...
