Damageless ROM?!

Espresso is basically just a theme, gives a square bar at the bottom instead of the standard round one.

As for your voicemail problem, go to Menu>Settings>Call>Voicemail settings, and enter your phone number (you might have to select "my carrier" under Voicemail service first).

WiFi tether I have no experience with, no use for it.

I'm sure there's a theme/taskbar out there that'll bring you back to a stock taskbar...I haven't messed with it yet (I agree about the signal icon though)

Had the same problem with the voicemail! Thanks @Tatonka Hero!
 
FYI, anyone wanting to use clear widgets, it doesn't work with the Damageless ROM. I used it with Fresh 1.1 and liked it so I gave it a try. It wiped out the clock, calender and many other items I had on my screen. Thank goodness I always back up before doing anything to my phone.
 
So, I've just flashed DC 1.0...and I've realized that ALL of my apps, info, etc, are gone...I guess I was under the impression that all of that would be 'ported' over with the 'upgrade'?

Is this not the case? I guess I need to now go back and download/install all of my apps again and hope that they somehow pull all of the data from the SD card?

I'm guessing that this was done by the wipe...

EDIT: Just went into the market > downloads and I find all of my apps listed there...but I guess I'm SOL when it comes to getting the data back for them?
 
If you are just now rooting and you did the whole root process then there was a step that said to "Wipe" this means it removes everything from the phone(Ex: apps, contact, etc.) so yea you gotta redownload everything anytime you do a system wipe.
 
That's what I was guessing...dono why I didn't catch that till after the fact...lol

Should probably be noted...or, it probably is, I just didn't read THAT set of directions...:)
 
Has anyone found a fix for the Google Authentication log out? Not that annoying once in a while, but when it keeps telling me my correct password is wrong, thats irritating.

Other than that, I am loving this ROM. Some weird stuff went on the first time I flashed it. Certain apps and widgets werent there, so I rebooted the phone. Then those widgets would replace other widgets I had before. Like a music widget was where my calendar widget once was. Reboot again, and it would be something different, always a random set of apps would disappear.

I finally re wiped and re flashed it. Seems ok now. I am enjoying Youtube and Google Nav.

What if any "bugs" are you experiencing with 2.0b? Do you use the camera for video a lot? If so, this would be the primary driver for considering the switch, but it will require a wipe to do so.

I'm having problems with being signed out of Google and Facebook sync problems mainly. I use the camera, but I haven't had any problems, I've never recorded a video.

The google signout problem is persistent on both versions. It's an issue that likely won't be resolved until the official sprint release. Same with vvm. In terms of facebook sync, depends on your specific problem. All of my contacts sync on this rom fine, BUT all of my additional facebook friends end up getting added to my contacts list. If you have this issue changing roms won't benefit you.

If video isn't that important it sounds like the effort to switch wouldn't be worth it. Is you were coming from 1.5, I'd say choose DamageControl, but since you are already on a flavor of 2.1, probably not enough difference to change, IMHO.

Is anyone here having problems with not seeing pics in gmail. If so has anyone been able to fix it????

According to some posts I've read over at xda this is one of the top 5 bugs posted on the google android official site, so you are not alone and the problem is not unique to our build.

I was also under the mistaken impression that settings were stored in the folders on the sd card during the backup process. I knew everything would be gone in the wipe and that I'd have to reinstall, I just assumed the settings would be saved somewhere (what else would those folders be for).

It's not that big of a deal. The ONLY bad thing is having to redo all of those annoying levels of Abduction to get back to where I was

Yeah - I just didn't back up some of my items...which isn't THAT big of a deal. Maybe it should be noted somewhere? Just things like my notes, and my ToDo list...and I might have made notes of my installed items, etc. Again, not a huge deal, just made me stay up an extra hour last night...hahaha
 
If you are still getting sprint voicemail text messages, it means gvoice still isn't set up properly. 2 things have to be done manually to make it work.

1. The phone has to be set up. (if you are getting the cryptic sms notifications, you probably have this done at least partially correct, but not the next part). put in your gvoice phone number, then select gvoice. Make sure that gvoice number stays in there.

2. Your carrier needs to be notified of the change so missed calls will be fowarded to your gvoice phone number. This is done by dialing two different *## codes into the dialer and hitting send. This leaked rom does not allow gvoice to suggest the correct ones. Go to the gvoice webpage, under settings, and follow the instructions next to your cell number to deactivate and then reactivate gvoice. Do the deactivation if you tried the incorrect number that gvoice suggests.
 
Stinky,

Try cycling airplane mode once or twice. Since the first time i did that i have never had to log back in... knock on wood...
 
anyone notice any issues with StarContact? I use that exclusively for my contacts.

However, it seems that with this ROM it's not linking to my contacts correctly for some reason.

I'll click on one contact, and it will take me to a completely different contact...
 
K, i am back and loving it, Google Nav is pretty Cool. However, i cannot get facebook to sync with my contacts. If i go to a contact and choose a person and go to the sync person "Link Facebook Profile" where it says Select contact, no one shows up, and if i type in the persons name it does not find them. Thoughts?
 
Going to Settings > Accounts & sync fixed that for me. I put my login info for Facebook in and it automatically sync'd everyone. Pictures took a while to show up, but all of the profile info was there.

I thought I had the same issue, but for me it didn't start right away, and once it did, it went about it slowly. Try it again and give it a couple of hours; you'll notice Facebook pics gradually populating your contact list.

Cycled it on/off twice. So far so good. Thanks.

And there are no problems with your phone? I bricked my phone updating a radio..
Click to expand...

No problems to report after installing radio. On the flip side, I dont see a difference in battery life or signal strength.
 
I flashed a new radio, have rebooted 3-4 times since then, and have noticed a significant improvement.

I use online radio at the gym when I go. Normally after about an hour I would drain about 30% of the battery and it would have to stop and buffer all of the time.

Today, after about and hour and a half, I had only used about 18% of the battery and it never had to buffer, not once.
 
I updated the battery today too, still no or not much of a difference. It is really annoying me, because I feel like the constant fight to get a signal is draining my battery life. I will give it another couple days till I decide.

I don't have any more issues on this ROM, what I did was RUU, re-root the phone, Nandroid Backup, Wipe, Flash DC, wipe, Radio update.

I am still getting voicemail notifications, saying I have four new voicemail messages. This time though, it asking me to call my google voice number. What I did was login to my Google Voice account through my computer, check all my Voicemail messages and use the "Mark as read" tool. Though, I only have experienced me getting these messages in the afternoon, and after a power on, so we will see tomorrow.
