I do have whats probably two stupid questions though....how do I go back to your last keyboard and how can I permenantly get rid of boat as I use dolphin instead?

Once you install dolphin, just go to system app folder and delete boat...
The old keyboard is ice cream sandwich keyboard and it's free on the play store, just install and select it in the settings menu.

Lol, go team... we all said the same thing, in recovery to see the SD from your computer you have to mount the card, that's the only non intuitive part

Well the only reason we are a good team is we have such good teachers here :D;)
 
Quick question, I notice that n00b VIII.II FULL ROM is only 1.38Mb. Did you somehow find a way to get an entire ROM that small? lol I want to just flash the newest version from your n00bed CTMod version, however, that can't be right. Perhaps because it's late I'm not thinking straight and can't do it this way without first installing n00b VII then installing the FULL ROM zip. I should probably just crash out before I mess something up haha

Not sure where you are seeing 1.58mb, I just tried it and it's 101mb...

Welcome back!

Wow, that's strange lol Last night I was on my PC and everytime I tried to dl it, it came small. I just tried again from my phone and its showing 105 like it should. Guess the laptop gremlin hadn't gone to bed yet either :D

If you have problems with battery life dying fast and your habits have not changed at all look into scaling your cpu down a step instead of overclocking it. From my experience cpu is the biggest battery drainer of all.

@MrBobo

Excellent rom. Everything is there even a custom kernel. Very nice job. After adding seeder, twrp and i2f warped sandwich theme my phone is almost exactly where I want it. I have 3 feature requests if you are willing to listen though:

1) 120% volume max instead of 100% (this is probably handled by the kernel though (can't think of this being unsafe really if only brought up to 120))

2) pdroid patch (I tried to do this myself with the autopatcher but it did not take / boot loop. So, I looked at the patch and it looks like a patch for the kernel source. I extracted the rom but couldn't figure out where the source was. Also, I wouldn't know how to repack it anyways. I'm pretty new to android. Still trying to figure out how to setup a vm on my box to test some of this stuff).

3) 2 flash zips to change on / off crt effect (not sure / remember if this actually comes from warped sandwich or not)

Other than that I am very very happy. Doubt I will be switching to anything else rom-wise either way.

@i2f

Thanks for the theme. Excellent job.


Edit: Also, how do I disable swap if I don't want to use it (I don't use that much ram)? Do I just go into the script in /etc/init.d/S03swap and comment everything out or just delete the file or move it? I am not entirely sure if I should comment out the minfree line at the end. I am assuming so but wanted to ask first.
 
@dodo thanks for the input! What seeder setting are you on? Also, what CPU settings are you set at? OC freq? You can just up your vol settings in the build.prop on the vc line. You'll see it. :D Disable swap by simply changing the permissions on that initd script to read-only

If that's not the case, I've had it happen before too trying to update an app. Just backup your data on that app with TB, uninstall the app, reinstall, restore the app data on tb
 
Hi all. I just flashed my Warp with this n00b rom, and it's taking much longer than "a couple minutes" to boot up the first time. It's probably been about 30 minutes now. What should I do?

Thanks. I removed all the permissions and deleted the swap file then rebooted and sure enough it wasn't created.
I'm using the default settings with seeder (light profile suspend rng=yes start auto=yes extend io queue=no).
For cpu I am using nofrills cpu app; my settings are max=921MHz Min=122MHz Governor=smartassV2 Scheduler=sio apply on boot checked (I prefer longer battery life and less heat over performance increase).

I searched for "vc" in /system/build.prop and I did not find anything at all. So, I did some googling and I found some people were using a variable called "ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=". So I tried that set it to 10 and rebooted but nothing changed. Set it to 15 still nothing. Maybe I found the wrong variable name for a different android version? Can you please be a little more specific as to what you did / recommend? Is there a reference somewhere for all gingerbread specific build.prop variables (I searched but could not find any)?

Edit: Tried turning off voice privacy that did not seem to make a difference either.

@MrBobo
The sound volume was a little bit louder on stock that is why I am continuing with this line of conversation. If it is too offtopic / I am making too much noise on your thread let me know. Also, one more request can we please get some checksums on the first page of this thread near the downloads so we know our download is not corrupted in any way. Something like:

n00b VIII.II FULL ROM dowload link
md5sum f37f78427837fd01d93cddd34b00da42
sha1sum 225f474e836e199c5ac44b9026de1b2e02254cea
sha256sum a45b815e0e2101610184a94ce3fc4c710e4cb1f3c23a7cf7a27fee3e9a3e5546

or any of the above. I would be happy with just an md5sum. Also, the above are the actual checksums of that download on my end.

Try the troubleshooting steps on the first page of this thread. If that doesn't work check the download to make sure it isn't corrupted or too small in any way.

Mine is approximately 106MB and my md5sum is f37f78427837fd01d93cddd34b00da42 if that helps you. Did you partition your internal storage yourself in anyway or do anything special to your device? Either way it shouldn't take 30 minutes I don't think. But I did flash the zip from cwm not the stock recovery screen if that makes a difference.
 
Maybe I missed it, but is there a wifi tether that works with Noob? Loving the ROM so far though. Really speedy. A tether would make it perfect...

Wiped the sd card except for what I was flashing and did a factory reset. Flashed the rom again and still gets stuck at the grey boot-up android screen. My rom is 101mb. I did nothing special to my device beforehand. I guess maybe I'll have to root and install CWM and then try again that way.

This rom should be 105 mb, try downloading it again, I usually download roms to my pc and then side load to the sd card. much faster.:D

I've downloaded n00bVIII.II.zip 2 times from the link provided in the first post, and it's 101mb both times (105,968,975 bytes).

Here's what i'm showing under properties on my laptop
n00bVIII.II.zip
106.0 MB (105,968,975 bytes)

How did you DL? Phone or PC?:confused:

Downloaded via PC. Weird. Not sure where to go from here. I guess it doesn't matter how I flash it if I'm using the wrong rom lol. If you click on the original post's link and begin to download does it say you're downloading a 101mb file or 106mb?

Edit: One thing that's odd is now that I've flashed the B08c rom and then tried to flash the n00b rom a few times, the grey boot screen for the n00b rom still displays during stock boot before the stock green android alien guy displays.
