The commando on 2.2.1 with all the bloatware removed runs very well with no lag, no stutter and no crashes. It seems to have better battery life too. The commando running 2.3.3 has some stutter and lag, and seems to use more battery. My experience had been that it has some force close issues with some applications that it did not have on 2.2.1. I actually prefer the status bar on 2.3.3, but other than that I see no improvement.
Others may have had different experiences and may think I am totally wrong. YMMV.
Maybe we need to re-flash a baseband file? (just brainstorming too, Spike)
If you have recovery installed on the phone, you should be able to call recovery with adb using the command "adb wait-for-device reboot recovery". I have done this as a test and it works. Connect the phone to your computer, enter the command, and then power on the phone. As soon as the phone makes the USB connection to the computer it will reboot into recovery. Once in recovery use the menu to restore a nandroid. If you don't have a nandroid then you will need to ask for one. If you don't have recovery on your phone then I don't know what to tell you.
For anyone who's reading and has been hesitant to install the recovery that GNM has developed for us, this is why you should have a recovery on your phone if you are planning to do any "work" on it. It's more than just being able to install ROMs, it's about being able to fix mistakes.
The problem is if the nandroid didn't come from your phone, it doesn't seem to have a recognizable baseband and the cellular radio doesn't work. No radio=no connectivity. I took my phone back to 2.2.1 and initially had a bootloop. When I did a full wipe it booted normally into 2.2.1, but there was no signal in an area that normally has excellent signal and was working just moments before. So until someone helps us figure out how to work around this we are stuck.
Just a guess, change the name of the installed-recovery.bak back to installed-recovery.sh and that should run a script that overwrites the GNM recovery with the stock one on reboot. I do not know if it will work and I'd be scared to death to try it.
Install successfull. Thank you gnm! Once I have this installed...what do I use to unpack the system and boot files to change things?
