Soooooo... Why do i even want this update? What fixes/new additions are there? My current deodexed build of the original leak is working great. can anyone who has done this already report on improvements?

You want it "because" :rolleyes:
My wifi seems very seems solid now. It would drop like crazy before when i was home. Now it locked in and hasn't dropped once...knock on wood.
And that's enough for me. It also frees up space in system so you can load it up with your own bloat:D

Speaking of memory...I broke down and bought a 32gb micro sdcard a few weeks ago...:D

I agree... wifi does seem stronger now.

Lost my black notification bar. :(
 
Ok, I followed instructions was on 2.1 first and now I am stuck at moto logo... Trying to install sbf via rsd lite however it cannot be detected, try loading update.zip (2.2 - leaked ver) and it gave me errors and aborted...

Any ideas how I can get back to 2.1?

Thanks
 
Ok I installed 2.3.13 (Dark Matter's nandroid) it booted to Vanilla. All my apps r gone, but still rooted so re-installed Bootstrap and booted to my old back up

now its back 2.3.9 :S

I guess I'll try original method?

Use titanium back up to back up yours apps..then restore them.

Shouldn't an advanced restore of only the system partition update you to 2.3.13 while preserving your settings and apps?
 
I went through today and removed 70 of the stock apps from 2.3.13 and have not had a single problem other than the battery manager force closing. At this point I feel like this setup is slightly faster and smoother than any previous setup that I've had. With any version of 2.2 that I was messing around with and even 2.3 (before I started removing apps) quadrant scores were 1400-1480, my quadrant scores are now averaging 1500-1545 and linpack is averaging 14.3-14.5.
 
So the advanced restore of just system is cool to run on clockwork recovery?? But if you use that method you wont get the market fix right? ?

I also heard of the build.props bringing you back to 2.3.9??

What do??

Im psyched about the wifi too so im going to do this as soon as I get the right idea.
 
Advanced restore will restore the modified build.props also, at least it did in my case. I am showing 2.3.13 after the restore. I did lose my theme though. Is this nandroid backup I installed deodexed?
 
So what cause 2.3.13 to revert to 2.3.9? I applied a theme (928 Droid) to 2.3.13 and it had changed to 2.3.9, I do have a 2.3.13 backup but what is the difference between the 2?

Edit: It was the build.prop file, after changing it I'm back to 2.3.13.
 
I installed this using Fab's idea to advanced restore system only...and while running smooth - I lost all access to my music...very weird - it's still on the SD card but the 2 stock music players installed as well as the cubed player all could not find any of it...

Going back to my backup i made yesterday
 
The only issue I have found is Quadrant seems to freak out if I run it more than once. The first time it runs fine, but if I rerun the test it crashes every time. I even removed the app, rebooted, reinstalled, and it did the same thing. I take it nobody else is having this issue?

I've ran quite a few tests back to back and have not had any problems.

What do you mean music doesn't work? Mine works perfectly.

I wonder what went wrong for me...did you end up with duplicate music apps? (com.android.music and com.google.android.music?)

The strange thing for me is that cubed player didnt recognize any music files either, and as soon as I restored my /system back to the last backup I made, both programs played music just fine...

Did you do the full Nandroid restore? Or did you do only the advanced restore of /system?

I didn't do Nandroid. I just downloaded the update and applied it through recovery.
 
I did a full restore will the nandroid backup and then just deleted the non google music app and it's working fine.
