question for the "doc" lol, saw where everyone was talking about the "not working" apps in the dev thread, can we not go in and remove the apps ourselves? I just went in and removed TiBu with root explorer and re-installed the version i purchased then went in and removed all the apps that don't work or not gonna use, or was that not something I should have not did?

It's probably fine.
After you reinstalled TiBu were you able to update? I know there were a few people that were having issues with the TiBu not updating.
I once heard though, that it's better to freeze unwanted apps rather than uninstalling. Something to do with OTA updates looking for the bloatware in order to validate that your system is not hacked/rooted. Anyway, it's probably not a big deal, just ever since I read that I always just freeze rather than uninstall. Unless its an app I put on there and or I know that it's not something AT&T put on there. But myself, I would apply that same theory to any of the things included with the ROM, anything I don't want I'll freeze rather than uninstall.
Let us know if that worked for the updating of TiBu.

I will look into seeing if I can find some direct links for themes, but until then here is the Original Doctorz thread see if anybody has the answer there,
just make sure you clarify that you are an INFUSE user, since that thread is for the Galaxy S version. If you find something come let us know. Thanks.

i could not update the TiBu that came with the rom but once I removed it and re-installed from market then the key no problems.. i did not know that about freezing the apps Ill remember that from the future, i just uninstalled the add on apps anyways I.E. ext4, reboot etc... so hope I will be good to go, if not gotten really good at odin and reflashing lol. Need to learn to just leave stuff alone and quit messing with things lol!! thanks for all you all's help and hope the development doesn't stop for the infuse.

Is yhe infuse not able to use the status bar settings?

I installed the rom, and have used it for a little over a day now.. I love the theme, and its def snappy, but has a few problems me and a friend found. We've both put the rom on our Infuses.
For a few flashes, my home button wouldn't work, but I think that was narrowed to backing up system data.. it now works for me though. On the first flash try, all calls being made TO my phone just got a busy signal, but I could call out.. My friend's phone calls only works when calling out. When he receives a call, itll end the call about 5 seconds into it.
He cannot turn his phone on while its plugged into the charger.. it wont do anything when he holds the power button. I cannot get root explorer to work, no matter what. I've reinstalled it, fixed permissions, still nothing. I now use another app to access it. When ever I get a new email and notification, my phone will freeze and reboot. I've had quite a few random reboots today as well, with my friend having only a few. It even rebooted while in the middle of a phone call.
I've tried a few different kernels, but not sure if i know when it installs correctly other than the phone boots up... I know the voodo kernel hasnt worked at all... itll sit on the samsung screen for at least 30 mins a few different tries.

I found that the status bar settings has not changed anything that I could see, others have confirmed this. If it doors change anything I think its limited to the lockscreen if any changes are being made at all.

Sounds like you have a bad flash. I'd start over, make sure you do your proper wiping. And read over the Dev section there are a lot of additional steps spread throughout. I will try to compile them into one post when I get some free time. Good luck.

I've redownloaded the flash to my computer twice, recopied it to my phone twice, started with a complete fresh rom using odin that was already rooted and CWM installed, and wiped all data possible. I've followed all the steps, done reboots in between sometimes just to try something different.. I've reflashed my rom at least 6 times in the past two days maybe trying different things .

has anyone had bad battery drain with this? last night i charged 100% before went to bed, had JD running on aggressive mode, wifi anf BT disabled as well as setcpu no OC and profile for 400/100 when screen off.... got up this morning 6 hours and was at 38%, ive been running the rom for days now so i think its had time to bake but not sure what else to do? any suggestions.

Thats odd with the battery drain...mine has been doing great....so your saying it didnt fully charge? or it was full, u unpkugged went to bed woke up and it drained that much? that doesnt make sense...no rom should do that....check your runnibg services and tell me what all is constantly running

i thought something may have got messed up so i just odin back to stock before i read this sorry dman, if someone say "me" was going to start back from scratch..... just odin, root, flash community kernal to get CWM then flash rom? should just leave kernal and modem alone? i know everyone has there own personal preference but as i talked to experiment just need to leave stuff alone lol. in other words with this rom what would "you" set up with i.e. kernal, modem, tweaks/ no tweaks, etc.... thanks for the feedback

Q- Can we remove the extra sounds when plugging in, powering on or off?
I know it sounds petty but I have my phone w/me at work and every time I plug it in to charge it plays that "Charging enabled" voice over. Can this be shut off? I SO SO SO love this Rom so far!! I have flashed quite a few and this one is my favorite so far!
TIA for any ideas.

No it cant be shut off...part of the doctors programming...you can tirn the volume down

[Q] Restarting

So I've had the phone for about 3 weeks now and never had the restarting problem but now it's done it twice in the past 24 hours. Anyone know why it's doing it and how to fix it?

Completely stock, haven't rooted my phone yet. The phone every time has just been sitting on my desk or I'll be holding it doing nothing. I always close everything after I use it using the task manager. Let me know if you need any other info, and thanks.

hmm if its completely stock I couldn't say why, but maybe someone with more experience than me could chime in... as for a fix, perhaps if you backed everything up first, then a factory reset might do the trick

I'd look at any apps you recently installed. My Fascinate would reboot quite a bit at times for no reason, it could be a Samsung glitch.
What I tell my customers to do is;
-check that there isn't any software updates
-pull the battery and wait 30 sec. I know it is the generic answer but it fixes most problems, it just like a computer if it not working right, restart. (Laptops mainly in pulling the battery.)
-or factory/data reset. It often will fix the issue but there are the few cases where it will not solve the problem. (and you will lose all of your stuff on your phone, contacts are backed up by Google or backup asst.)
-lastly, root it!!! no problems on my GummyCharged, v1.5, 2.3.4 (I don't tell my customer this choice)
Yeah I'm going to root soon. I just keep on reading these forums everyday so I can hopefully prepare for rooting with no issues.

[Q] App to remove VirginMobile crapware from Triumph

Looking for an app to remove the un-uninstallable apps that come with the Triumph. I rooted my phone, but have not installed any ROMs. I prefer the stock ROM at this time.
Titanium backup. Just be wary and make a back up of everything first. a lot of un-uninstallable apps are needed for the phone to operate properly. Like my phone needs the stock music player for Bluetooth to function correctly.

+1 on Titanium Backup, I've always used Root Uninstaller but it's getting a bit silly (in terms of ads, hoops to jump through, etc). And I'm pretty sure TB can uninstall anything. Heck, it even has a silent mode.
Thanks guys, I had tried Titanium Backup to first remove AirG chat. It warned of the force removal and I tried anyway. It looked like it was it was going through the motions then rebooted, but the app was still there and even opened!

I don't think that's supposed to happen! Reboot? What the... heck. You have to be rooted to use that app, and it checks for everything else too...
Try Root Uninstaller? Or just using a root explorer (File Expert is a good free one), mounting /system as read-write, and then deleting AirG's app manually? (Or just moving it to the SD card for safekeeping?
I'm rooted so I don't know what happened, I'll try root installer.

Streaming via bluetooth or bluetooth in general ?
I replaced stock Music with Google Music Beta app and it looks like bluetooth works with no changes.

Honestly, I was hesitant to try a custom rom and tried using Titanium to remove bloatware, but after backing up my stock image in clockwork and giving TG-Reloaded a try, I can honestly say I never plan on going back. No bloatware, Gingerbread (which adds more than you would think), great support from Wyzor (it's creator), and better battery life. There's really no reason not to give it a try. If you dislike it, just revert to your stock backup and call it a day.
Sorry if this is the wrong place, but could you point me in the right direction on how to root this phone? I just got mine today and would love to remove some of the crap VM puts on here.

I rooted my triumph this weekend using the Terminal emulator method that b-randon14 came up with, I found out about it by watching a youtube video called motorola triumph terminal root easy method. very clear instruction and went off like a charm! Its easy! But back on point, you will need to root your phone and then install titanium backup to access the files and remove the bloatware. I removed all of it with no ill effects and my phone is way faster!
Sorry if posting in the wrong place, but couldn't find any other posts with this, I flashed a new rom and soon as I setup everything . I got

yes, its most likely the rom itself, inside the coding of your phone is a build file which lets whatever your phone is connecting to see what phone it actually is
our device isnt listed as being compatiable with alot of games and apps, even tho it should be
so as you may have seen yourself the marketplace on a pc shows you more apps and games then the marketplace on the phone itself, by editing the build file to make it show as a different device(in ur case a nexus) opens the market on the phone itself to show much more apps and games and such to download, altho all of them may not work correctly alot of them will
ive never run with the miui, but if you want a good rom and like the CM7 line of roms id say check out the G60Style Final, everything except hdmi works of course lol
wifi and bt still disable deep sleep but having them both on should no longer max out cpu or cause reboots
also the best thing for removing stock crapware in my opinion was listed and linked on page 1 somewhere, the stock app removal tool

G2x Reboot issues

Ive tried numerous ROMs and kernals and stuff with my phone, yet none of them seem to solve the reboot issue on my g2x except the stock 2.3.3 update a while back... Is there some secret im missing? why would the 2.3.3 update fix it while nothing else works well?
If all else fails i might have to just replace the phone... im tired of stock!

I think that might just affect only certain phones. I've noticed that it affects some and never happens to others. i jsut got my G2x and have yet experienced on reboot. And I've tried Weapon, Cm7 and EG.

i hope this isnt the case. not sure how t mobile is on replacing a phone if i claim its faulty- and i would need to unroot and change back to stock recovery and stuff =\ which i guess isnt THAT hard..
Yes but if you have insurance on your sim, card then just say you having difficulty with they should give you another one if not then use the one root method to unroot back.

Yeah, I have nothing but problems with these ROMs on my G2X. Going back to stock GB today. I was late to work a couple of times because my phone rebooted itself when my alarm was supposed to go off with Weapon, and now Eagles blood I woke up to my phone being completely off, where I couldn't even turn it on without removing the battery first (cuz that makes sense). I couldn't use A2DP on CM 7 either. As far as I'm concerned all custom ROMs are STUPID.

So the only option is to get a replacement from Tmobile? Tried rooting my wifes phone and got the same thing. Using CM7 or MIUI, random reboots, dropped calls, and SOD galore. If this is the only fix I guess I'll be calling Tmobile again...
Ive never had the reboot issue to the extreme like some have. It has happened for me a few times with stock gb, did 2 wipes in a row and then it stopped. Not a guaranteed fix, but it worked for me.
once rooted, I removed almost all the bloat that I didnt use (from xboarders stock rooted rom) and never had an issue.
I did notice a while back with the nightlys that when I put my put my screen to sleep while in the sms app, id have to pull the battery. Issue resolved for me with the currenty nightlys.

Are you getting these issues right away or after you install apps? It is usually an errant app causing reboots and SOD and not the rom. Add apps one by one and wait a bit before adding the next one. If you add one and you start getting problems you can be pretty sure that is a problem app and uninstall it. There are many bad apps on the Market that can cause loads of problems. Google doesn't do any testing on them so it is definitely buyer beware, even if the app is free.

g2x random reboot fix
I think I have finally found a fix to the SOD and random reboots on the g2x. Obviously the SOD is solved by going to setting>development>stay awake.
I had the same problems with every rom I tried try tsugi no reboots yet after a week I can even use the kernels on his page

Am I doing something wrong? (ROM flashing)

So to sum it up, I don't personally have a skyrocket, but I have a friend who looks to me for custom roms, root, etc for his skyrocket. I've been doing the ROM flashing thing for like 3 years and I've never had issues. Yet it seems every time I flash something to his phone I'll get a call a month or so down the road saying its unbearably slow or that it takes minutes to make a phone call. Is there some step that I've been missing? How does this always happen? I realize they're different phones, but I've flashed countless roms for multiple periods of time on my Xoom, Gnex, and Eris without any issues. Can anyone shed some light on this? Its been driving me crazy.
Thanks for any help,

Can you expand on what is slow? If it is just apps MOT UISNG internet, then his process memory/cache/whatever is gettiing full. Does he ever reboot the phone? Restarting the phone clears memory and will do wonders.
If he is using any app like Task killer or Task manager then he is screwing things up. With the the SGS II, there is no need to kill processes, since that only worsens things.
If he restarts phone, does it recover its speed? Can u check that?
EDIT: If it is internet - i do not see how that could be related to making a call, but still otherwise - then he is being throttled.
Thanks I'll text him and see what I can find out. As of now I think he's running the modified leaked ICS roms that came out like a day after the leak. We live on opposite sides of the state so I rarely see him.
**Edit: there's no way he's being throttled. He's the most data conscious person I know. Barely used 300mb of his 2gb the last few months.

The very first ROMs of the ICS leak had a lag problem. The newer ones quickly got rid of that.
This is a copy paste of his response asking what was wrong:
"I'm not using a task manager at all. First off, the phone freezes every so often and it shuts down by itself when it freezes. That aside, I've rebooted the phone literally dozens of times because it starts acting funny...like, apps will randomly stop working, the home button won't work, etc. Then adding to that, the phone feature is soooooooooo slow. If I tap on the phone to make a call, it takes about 5 seconds to open. Then any numbers I punch in take about 4 to 5 seconds each to appear. If I want to call somebody out of my call history list, it will take at minimum 5 seconds to open, and then selecting the person to call can take up to 10 seconds to respond. Finally, the home screens lag somewhat when I scroll between them and the lock screen is always on, no matter how many times I turn it off. Lol kind of a lot of problems huh?"
So new ICS ROM seems to be the general consensus? Thanks again guys.

Is his current data very important to him? Looks like a sub-optimal flash. It happened to me before - the exact symptoms. Since he is far off from you, he can do the following:
1. Reboot to CWM recovery.
2. Wipe data/factory reset.
3. Wipe dalvik cache.
Of course his favorite apps will be gone......
The more sure way is to reflash, but this time do the above steps along with Mounts&storage>>Format>>system, data, cache
Then reflash the ROM. Of course again his favorite stuff will vanish,
To avoid this he can do a nandroid backup, or Titanium bakup, but then replacing those apps back MAY re-corrupt his system.
Will check back later.......
EDIT: ALso, in some ROMS if you flash radio, kernel and ROM separately, the order matters.
I can figure out a way to back his apps up if I tell him how to use TiBu right? I'll be skyping him later thus weekend to try and figure it out. If he wipes this way it won't erase EVERYTHING on the internal storage right? As in camera pictures will be saved correct? Ill try to walk him through a CWM flashing, shouldn't be too difficult. Any ROM suggestions you have currently for me, prioritizing stability over most everything? Thanks again.

Screw backing up his apps. There is issues with restoring apps and ICS. He should reinstall the ROM or download a new one. And no, pictures and media won't be touched. And I recommend the latter.. Embryo 2.1 is amazing and silky smooth and I have zero issues with it. Had a few that I quickly fixed

Are you implying there's issues restoring for ICS and the skyrocket? That would be understandable maybe, but I know for a fact there isn't for just ICS in general. Thanks for the ROM btw, I'll look into it. If it means anything, he's using AT&T.

Pm me maybe we can find someone in between who can get it going for him im in jackson.
Lol im similar i have a rocket with no issues using smooth ice and really tried most of the other roms but i have a friend who also has one and when i put roms on his phone he's always having issues a few days later. I know he's doing something dumb that is slowing him down but still he blames me and says just put it back to stock

Glad I'm not the only one in that boat. I swear I have no idea what happens to other peoples phones once I flash stuff on them. Mom and sisters nook color is running fine still. Flashed a ROM on an OG Droid for a different friend a few months back and within two weeks he had me fix it because *I* messed it up (How the hell he managed to delete the launcher and google framework packages is beyond me :what: ). Guess there's a reason root is disabled when you purchase a phone . Although I still don't understand how problems arise weeks if not months later and the fingers are always pointed back to me. /rant sorry.
I'll be checking out the two ROMs suggested here shortly then making a detailed email out to him. Thanks again everyone.

Haha, let them figure out how to modify their own devices. It will only help them to know what they are doing and you will have less problems.
You are most correct. For the most part, unless its a close friend I will refrain from doing anything. I've had too many instances where people don't understand what I'm telling them. For example, the mere installation of juicedefender on a colleagues phone caused "me to be unable to get Facebook messages or words with friends notifications instantly unless I turned the screen on and I had to take it to the store to get repaired" :banghead: WELL YES. What did you think I meant when I told you your data services would be suspended to save battery while the screen was off? TLDR: Family only or I'll make you learn yourself (or sign a waiver )

Yes, I have learned to be very selective in helping people run roms and such. If they don't understand what it means to clear cache, dalvik, fix permissions, etc.. they are gonna have problems. They need to understand the basics of custom roms, rooting, and the like before they can even consider using anything but stock. They simply have no business running a custom rom, and some are buggy, which makes it far worse. Our ICS leak needs some TLC and some knowledge to keep it running and debug when problems arise. This is something a "buddy" with no knowledge is not gonna be able to fix, and he will have problems. Even Gb customs have issues which require basic knowledge to fix. Our "buddies" need to read the forums and equip themselves with some knowledge before doing or running anything other than stock.
I guess I'm just used to having phones with a larger development community (Nexus, Eris, OG Droid, Nook). The one here is stellar, don't get me wrong, but I've had numerous android devices with flash and forget ROMs that I may have incorrectly assumed all phones had these. My apologies to anyone who takes that offensively, it wasn't intended to be. There are tons of great devs here who continue to impress me, but the population of this dev forum compared to the GNex for example, is much smaller.
Tldr again: I incorrectly assumed most phones had flash and forget ROMs. Is there anything close to stock I can just flash and root for said buddy? Ideally a stock rooted ROM would be best I think.

I used both of these for while. Both were rock solid. The second is just a more themed version. Both are GB, but not stock. rooted, deodexed, zipaligned, etc

Thanks a bunch. I'll say its safe to assume there's no stable ICS yet? I don't mind GB at all, I just foresee issues converting said friend to use GB since he's asked me most every day up till the leak about when ICS was coming.

Well, I consider it stable with both seanz's ucld2 sky ics and nexusmods beta 7, but there are a couple bugs. If your buddy just needs a rom that runs and doesn't need fixing every now and again he should probably stay on Gb.
Sounds like a good plan.. is there anything in particular I need to do to go from the leak down to GB?

I tried....I really did!

I hate posting threads with questions cause I hate feeling like a noob who doesn't read but in this instance I really tried to fix the problem myself and just can't.
My wife's infuse keeps rebooting. It did it when on stock and I thought I could solve it by rooting and loading a custom ROM. In my experience loading custom ROMs almost always makes things better.
So far I've tried yumaporn ICS and Scott's broccoli ICS. I've tried the v6 supercharger. I've made her get rid of all her apps and even change off of go launcher. Which I had used on my infuse without problems.
I'm thinking of bringing her back to gingerbread but I am not sure its software related.
I've checked the battery connections and they look just like mine. I don't see anything broken. The battery is a little loose but I put a piece of paper around it and it doesn't move at all anymore.
I don't think its the power button because it doesn't loop.
I don't know how to get a kmsg or ksmg? Log cats I don't think will help because it isn't any 1 thing that causes it.
I tried the supercharger thinking it was a memory thing. Tried setting background processes to 2.
Got rid of all task managers, tried wiping caches.
I just don't have the knowledge to do anything more than I have done. I really think its a hardware problem and am hoping someone can prove me wrong.
10 post thanks and a +1 to whoever can fix this. If it can be fixed!

try taking out the microSD if there is one.
take off all important stuff in the internal sdcard
factory reset from in the phone under /privacy
heimdall or odin back to gb stock..i like the heimdall x2 with boot loaders for complete repartition.
if you are still rebooting or looping in complete gb stock, it's prolly hardware related
I should have known the avatar would have some idea. Will try that now. Thanks!

Well. I tried to heimdall the thing and my computer about blew up. Hoping I can at least boot it to safe mode and somehow get all the pictures off before it finally explodes. So. I couldn't heimdall so I put a stock uclb 3 ROM on it. Its running now and I hate it. Thankfully its not mine. I can't stand stock. What's worse is we went to a store today and they had an s3 on display. Shouldn't have even touched it. Even being the display phone the damn thing was zippy. No upgrade for another few months. Hoping the note 2 is that fast
