Root Frankenrom is alive.

Finally took the plunge and installed a ROM. After all the reading I went with FrankenROM and I absolutely love it. Great ROM. Can't thank you enough Adryn. So far no issues. Haven't jumped in on a kernel yet.

Congrats Spidey! I tried out Frank and he's pretty nifty but have stayed with Virtuous for the last 2 incarnations. :) Just be sure to make plenty of nandroid backups once you start trying out kernels and roms!

Have fun!
 
Mine started locking up and rebooting multiple times yesterday - not sure if it was an app update I did or because of the kernel I was running though but I hadn't changed anything in 3-4 days.

I reloaded FrankenROM and everything seems to be better again

Have you tried any of Adrynalyne's Kernels or any of the King ones? I find those to be much more reliable...

Just my opinion tho.

I am using the one that came with this FrankenROM right now. It seems fine. I have had fewer problems than I did with the Hydra Kernel. Not as fast but more stable. My SD card crapped out again so I can't even run the Vanilla script so right now I am stuck with Sense but it seems fine and the battery life seems better even with Sense so groovy.
 
can anyone tell me how to remove the sound when booting? its awesome and all, but its annoying at times when i'm playing with my phone in class or in the library and i always have to worry if its gonna start yelling at me hah

You can put your phone in silent mode (which it should be while you are in class) and it won't do it. Try it out in another environment to be sure but that is what I find if it is silent no Gene Wilder if it isn't Loud Gene Wilder.

Awesome choice of sound bit to go with for that by the way.

yeah i know that much, but sometimes i like to re-do my ROM, or add a theme or something along those lines. these things dont always work and i end up reflashing the rom and such.

it went off once in class, and i would also just like to know how to do this in general
 
To remove the boot sound....

from your run box on PC,

cmd

cd\
cd sdk\tools
adb reboot recovery

phone reboots to clockwork recovery

on the phone:
mounts and storage, optical mouse click
mount /data optical mouse click
mount /system optical mouse click

back at your computer

type:
adb shell

when you get the #

cd /system/media

mv android_audio.mp3 android_audio.bak

type:
exit

unmount,

reboot

no sound on reboot...

and to get it back....

same steps as above, except its :

mv android_audio.bak android_audio.mp3

and voila... ITS ALIVE.... ALIVE!!!

The new 2.3 gmail app? It Hung up at 100% download. I hit cancel. Then clicked install. It re downloaded it and installed perfectly.

Yes - I got it to work by uninstalling GMail via Titanium, rebooting the phone, then going back in to the market and downloading the new GMail app

This seems to be the way to get it to work for anyone having the issue, regardless of rom. I know people were having the same problems on Virtuous's Rom.
 
From what I'm reading around the web ya better make a copy of the previous gmail.apk app cause you might want to revert after the new one. Some are saying it's slower causing funky things to happen.
 
An update of the speaker issues before. Used a powerful neodymium magnet and pulled some metal filings out of the speaker. The sound is MUCH better again.

The magnet in the speaker is pretty strong and catches a lot of stray metal it seems.

Yeah mine will tell me I have new messages but when I go in to the app it doesn't list any new emails

Something definitely seems screwy with it. Frankly I've heard very little in praise and lot more of :eek:Where's my Backup???? :D
 
I just uninstalled 2.3 and re-installed 2.2.1 and voila! my emails appeared back in my mailbox

guess I'll wait for the next FrankenROM update that hopefully has a working version of 2.3 in it
 
Glad you could get back to the other one Argent. I'm planning to wait too. RMK is probably going to release Virtuous ROM 3 in the next few days. :D
 
I did notice that after I re-installed 2.2.1 I got from xda that 2.3 showed up as an available update in the market....

Maybe it has something to do with being baked in to the ROM and not an after-load install. Could explain why it offered the update once you re-installed the older version. Dunno just thinking. :)
 
FrankenRom v1.1 is now live!
